I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Page 819

Isshiki couldn't help comparing the few heroes he knew who were recognized as "skilled talents" and "swordsmanship geniuses" with Ogata, and Isshiki couldn't help but tighten his lips, and let out a long sigh in his heart. sigh:

They will be about the same age next year...why is there such a big difference...

Well? !

Isshiki suddenly raised his hand to cover his head.

Because at the moment just now, Isshiki felt his head was dizzy.

And after this sudden dizziness popped up in Isshiki's mind, it didn't dissipate, on the contrary, it tended to become more and more intense.

A thought that made Isshiki's face turn pale again flashed through her mind.

I'm... dazed? !

Today is a long-lost chapter of nearly 8000 words. I have nothing to ask for, just ask for a monthly ticket. Leopard has a headache and cries p

Ask for a monthly pass!Ask for a monthly pass!Ask for a monthly pass!

By the way: The obi of women's kimono is very wide, and it is usually tied below the chest, not exactly on the waist.I saw in the last chapter that some readers mistakenly thought that Isshiki's Opie hung down to his waist, so I hereby note... If it hangs down to his waist, it would be too scary!

Chapter 604 Ogata: This is...A-Machi's touch! (hold)【5200】

Before Ogata entered the bath, Isshiki had already soaked in the bath for a long time.

When taking a bath, because the water temperature is too high, the blood vessels in the whole body will expand accordingly, the blood supply to the skin will increase, and the blood supply to the brain will decrease relatively, so if you take a long bath, it is very easy to Symptoms of dizziness appear.

Isshi felt his head getting dizzy, and his cheeks slowly turned pale again due to dizziness and panic.

I'm in trouble...

Gotta... quickly think of a way to get Yidao Zhai out of here... Otherwise... I'm going to faint in the bath...

Passing out in the bathtub is a mistake that only children make, and Isshiki would not want to make it even if he died...

At this time, Ogata didn't notice Isshiki's abnormality now, but it would be strange if he could notice it.Now his back is facing Isshiki, and Isshiki's back is also facing him, the two of them are facing each other, it's only a ghost that Ogata can find Isshiki's physical discomfort.

Ogata, who didn't notice that Isshiki's body was in trouble, continued to say to himself:

"Even if you don't talk about these nonsense and just talk about the real thing, I still feel that I'm still far behind in swordsmanship."

"As far as I know, there is still one person in this world whose attainments in swordsmanship are far superior to mine."

Isshiki's astonishment that had just dissipated appeared on her face again.

"Is there anyone else with a higher level of swordsmanship than you?"

Isshiki has an almost endless interest in topics related to swordsmanship. After hearing what Ogata just said that she couldn't ignore no matter what, Isshiki couldn't care less about being dizzy for the time being.

"Yeah." Ogata nodded, "It's the senior I just mentioned who named that wonderful state the Transparency Realm."

Kinoshita Genichi leaning against the corner of the wall, drinking in a very chic manner, emerged in Ogata's mind.

"As for his name, for some reason, I won't say it."

Genichi is a troublemaker. He has enemies all over the world. If he casually reports Genichi's name, he may cause trouble that could have been avoided. So in order to avoid trouble, Ogata chose to conceal Genichi's name.

"For the time being, he can be regarded as my teacher. In terms of his attainment in swordsmanship, I definitely can't wait for him."

The two achievements of creating "Wuwu Two Swords Style" and "Original Breath" alone are enough to make it difficult for Ogata to compare with Genichi in terms of swordsmanship achievements.

Isshiki's cheeks were now full of shock.

In the eyes of Isshiki, Ogata, who has accomplished the two miraculous feats of "killing the tyrant with one as a hundred" and "breaking the Nijo Castle", is already well-deserved and unparalleled in the world.

But at this moment, I heard from Ogata's mouth that there is actually one person in this world whose swordsmanship attainments are higher than Ogata's. The impact on Isshiki is almost like the destruction of the three views.

"Can you tell me where this person is now?" Isshiki shot a fiery gaze at Ogata, "I really want to visit him!"

This guy is really obsessed with swordsmanship...

Ogata shook his head:

"Sorry, but for some reason, I can't casually tell you where he currently lives."

"Is that so..." Isshiki's eyes flashed a touch of desolation, "Then... can I ask another question that may be rude?"

Ogata: "Just ask."

"Since you said that your master's swordsmanship is superior to yours..." Isshiki asked in a cautious tone, "then isn't your master the most powerful swordsman in Japan?"

"Well..." Ogata laughed dumbly, "In terms of swordsmanship, he should be the most powerful in Japan right now."

"But if we only talk about combat power, it's hard for me to say."

"In terms of combat power alone, I have never faced him, but I think I should be on par with him."

"Although his sword skills are better than mine, he is old after all. He is over 60 years old this year."

"Although he usually doesn't look like an old man at all, aging must have made his physical fitness more or less what it used to be."

"And I am young. In terms of physical fitness, I have the confidence to surpass him."

"And in terms of persistence in winning and losing, he may not be as good as me."

"Persistence on winning or losing?" Isshiki asked doubtfully.

"The way I walk is completely different from the way my teacher walks." Xu Fanglu sighed, "I pursue victory, while my teacher pursues enjoyment."

"In my eyes, as long as you can win the battle with others, you can win. As long as you can win, you can use any trick or any weapon."

"Swordsmanship is easy to use swordsmanship, jujitsu is good to use jujitsu, firearms are good to use firearms... All weapons and skills should be used according to local conditions, and everything is for victory."

"And my teacher is not like that."

"For him, winning is secondary, and being able to swing the sword to his heart's content is the most important thing."

"He is perfecting his skills and fighting people to enjoy the feeling of swinging a sword."

"So even if he knows that it's easier to win with other weapons and other techniques, my teacher will definitely persist in fighting people with a sword."

"If I were to confront him, there would probably be something like this: I frowned, thinking of a quick way to defeat him, while he was smiling, expressing the purest joy for being able to swing his sword to his heart's content."

"I pursue victory far more than him. This difference in mentality can also give me a little advantage in the duel with him."

"Of course what I just said is just my nonsense."

Ogata shrugged and smiled.

"I haven't set foot on every piece of land in the world, and I have seen every person. Who knows if there will be anyone in this world who is stronger than me and my teacher?"

"Is that so..." Isshiki had been listening carefully to what Ogata said just now.

Her expression and expression also changed rapidly following Ogata's narration.

"Is everything just for victory..." Isshi whispered.

No wonder...he would say "sword skills should be eliminated" at the beginning...In his eyes, firearms are far easier to defeat the enemy than sword skills, so he said such words...

But... no matter how I think about it, I can't imagine that firearms have the potential to replace swordsmanship...

Ah, not good... My head is even more dizzy...

The sudden severe dizziness interrupted Isshiki's thoughts.

Isshiki temporarily forgot about his dizziness because he "listened" carefully just now.

After Ogata's "speech" ended, the dizziness immediately attacked Isshiki's brain with a more violent trend.

I can't procrastinate any longer... I have to find a way to lead Ogata Yidaosai out of this bath as soon as possible...

Before Isshiki finished the words in his heart, Ogata's voice suddenly sounded:

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet." Ogata asked back, "Your grandfather told me before that you run a sword gym in Osaka. You who opened a sword gym in Osaka, why did you show up here?" here?"

Just chatting with Isshiki, the atmosphere between the two has become a lot more harmonious in one breath, and Ogata, who is also willing to chat with others in the bath, has also aroused his "chat desire".

Why are you asking me a question at this very moment...

Isshiki now can be said to want to cry but has no tears.

In the rush to get out of the bath, Ogata asking her questions would undoubtedly disturb her thoughts.

And she couldn't help but answer Ogata's questions.

After all, if Ogata asked her a question and she kept silent, it might attract Ogata's attention.

What Isshiki is most afraid of now is that Ogata's attention will be drawn, and then she will find out her true gender...

It would be fine to discover her true gender in other occasions, but it would be a big deal if they found out her true gender in the bath where both of them are now naked.

Not only the body may be seen naked, but it is also very easy to cause Ogata's misunderstanding, making Ogata mistakenly think that she is a pervert who came to the men's bath to peep...

By then, Isshiki may even have the heart to commit suicide.

So Isshiki had to answer Ogata's question, so he could only resist the dizziness in his head and replied:

"Grandpa and I... can be regarded as a study tour."

"My grandfather wants to see with his own eyes how the people in the world under the rule of the Edo shogunate are living in dire straits."

"And I have hardly left Osaka since I was born. So in order to broaden my horizons, I pestered my grandpa and asked him to take me to travel around with me."

"Then how long have you and your grandfather been studying abroad?" Ogata asked.

"It's been about half a year. After we set off from Osaka, we went all the way west, and we didn't turn back until we reached the Matsumae Domain. It can be said that we have traveled all over the entire western Japan."

"Because the Matsumae Domain is closer to the territory of the Ainu people, there are many scenes that cannot be seen in Japan."

"My grandfather and I originally wanted to live in the Matsumae Domain for a while, to see these sights that cannot be seen in Japan."

"But it's a pity that the annual trial match of our sword gym will start soon."

"Although the affairs of the sword hall are basically taken care of by my father, my grandfather is the owner of the sword hall in name after all, so he can't miss the big trial."

"Therefore, we can only suspend our plan to live in the Matsumae Domain for a period of time, and set off to rush back to Osaka."

"In order to hurry up, we got on the smuggling boat that can leave quickly. Then, I ran into you in the cabin."

"Big test? What is that?" Ogata asked back.

"It's a trial run jointly organized by our One Color Sword Gym and several other sword gyms that have a good relationship. Let the apprentices in each gym compete on the field, so as to test the level of the apprentices in their respective gyms."

"Oh..." Ogata's face was full of memories, and then he whispered in a low voice that only he could hear clearly: "It's very similar to the god-respecting performance of our Sakakibara Sword Hall..."

Ogata is no stranger to the "big trial match" that Isshiki said. The Sakakibara Sword Gym where he practiced swords before has a similar thing: "Practice martial arts with respect to the gods".

Their Sakakibara Sword Gym had an annual apprenticeship contest with the Ishikawa Sword Gym next door.

"Respecting the gods and practicing martial arts" has an unusual meaning for Ogata. This is the first time he has used a real sword to compete with others, and it is also the first time he has fought with others in a death fight that is either you or me.

"Are you a native of Osaka?" Ogata continued to ask with doubts, "Why do you seem to have no Osaka accent when you speak?"

Isshiki and his grandfather don't look like grandparents at all, because their accents are so different.

Naoki speaks with a distinct Kansai accent.

And Isshiki speaks a very standard Japanese Mandarin of this era, that is, Kanto dialect.

Can't you just let me quietly think about how to get out of here...!

Isshiki resisted the impulsive roar of "Okay! Stop talking nonsense! Get out of here!" to Ogata, continued to endure the dizziness in his head, and continued:

"I am a native of Osaka. As early as more than 200 years ago, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi first built Osaka Castle, our family took root and settled in the land of Osaka."

"The main reason why I don't speak with a Kansai accent is because my mother is from Kanto."

"Grandfather and father are usually very busy, so I was basically brought up by my mother, so under the influence of my mother, I became more like a Kanto person."

Osaka is one of the three major metropolises in Japan, which are as famous as Edo and Kyoto.

It is also a city that has a strong connection with Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a hero of the Warring States Period more than 200 years ago and once ruled the whole of Japan.

In 11 AD, the 1583th year of Tensho, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who officially embarked on the road of conquering the world, built Osaka Castle. Since then, Osaka Castle has become the ruling center of the Toyotomi family.

After the Toyotomi family was destroyed by the Edo shogunate led by Tokugawa Ieyasu, Tokugawa Ieyasu did not push the capital of the Toyotomi family to the ground, but retained it and made full use of its geographical advantages to transform it It became a giant commercial city, and then gradually became one of the three major capitals of Japan.

"I can actually speak Kansai dialect."

Saying so, Isshiki cleared his throat.

"However, my Kansai dialect is not very standard, so I don't like to speak it in front of others." Isshiki's words switched to some Kansai dialect that is not very accurate.

"Well... I think you can speak more Kansai dialect in front of people." Ogata smiled.

"Why?" Yishi asked puzzled.

"Because I think your Kansai dialect sounds nice."
