I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Page 888

"My ancestors started at the very end. A commoner who was not even a warrior, relied on hard work and grasping opportunities to sit on the throne of the world."

"My background is also not good. Thanks to my bastard brother who took away all the family savings, I was almost hungry enough to pick up trash to eat."

"So I aspired to learn from my ancestors."

"At that time, the ancestor Toyotomi Hideyoshi used the gourd as a sign for his horse seal to be tied around the general, which was used to exaggerate the power of his own army and to indicate the location of the general of the army. The gourd and horse seal accompanied the ancestors to complete the unification of the world. dominance."

"So I, determined to learn from my ancestors, named my chamber of commerce the Gourd House, and made the gourd the symbol of my Gourd House."

"After the initial establishment of the Calabash House, after several hard struggles, it finally managed to make the Calabash House operate stably and bring me wealth steadily."

"After I had some money, I wanted to wear a good knife for myself."

"After Bogong returned to his country, he took me in as a disciple and taught me the Wuwu Two Swords Style."

"I have never had a good knife that I can call a name on. I have always hated it."

"After all, I am also a swordsman. Without a good knife, I feel like a part of my body is missing."

"So I used my personal connections to look around for a good knife that I could see."

"Then I found this Enma, which was kept in Honzoji Temple."

Lin raised her hand again to touch Yan Mo on the right side of her body.

"Under my detailed investigation, I found out that this knife has a lot of ties with me. This Yan Mo was once one of the Tibetan knives of my ancestor Toyotomi Hideyoshi."

"According to rumors, this knife is made of a special metal, so the blade is black."

"In terms of sharpness, it's not the top class."

"But in terms of tenacity, no knife can compete with it."

"Out of my admiration for my ancestor Toyotomi Hideyoshi, I have a strong interest in this knife that was once collected by my ancestors and the willingness to keep it as my own."

"So I took Kuro, who was under my command at that time, to Honzoji Temple in Nara."

"By the way, Kuro at that time was a planner."

The corners of Lin's mouth were slightly raised at this time, revealing a slight smile.

"Kurang's calculations are very good, so he was in charge of my gourd house's finances at that time."

"I have learned how to calculate abacus and keep accounts in Edo before." Mamiya added abruptly.

"Before I arrived at Honzoji Temple in Nara, I expected that this trip to buy knives would not be smooth."

"After all, this Yan Mo is the treasure of the temple in the Xiangsi Temple. It is impossible to buy this knife with just a few words."

"It turns out that's the case."

"The abbot of this elephant temple: Yunhe, his attitude is extremely tough."

"I have raised the bid to almost all my savings at the time: 1000 taels of gold, and he is unmoved and unwilling to sell Yan Mo."

"I didn't want to give up this sword just like that, so I temporarily stayed in Nara to enjoy the scenery of the ancient capital of Nara, which I have never visited before, and at the same time, I thought about ways to persuade Yunhe to sell the sword."

"That is, when I was temporarily staying in Nara, a monk from Honzoji Temple: Mizaku secretly found me."

"He told me a truth that made me break out in a cold sweat."

At this moment, Lin's face slowly sank.

The complexion of Jian Gong on the side also became no longer pretty.

"Mique told me: Yunhe, the abbot of their Xiangsi Temple, has a kind face and kind eyes on the outside, but in reality he is full of villains who thieves and prostitutes."

"He has been taking advantage of the status of presiding over the big temple to deceive those girls who are devout to Buddhism, secretly detaining them in the temple, and humiliating them."

"Most of the high-level personnel in Honzoji Temple have participated in Yunhe's evil deeds. Mique, who reported it to me, was also a member of Yunhe and the others."

"According to Mique, after he was invited by Yunhe to join their evil deeds, he also enjoyed the feeling of being able to abuse girls wantonly at first."

"However, gradually, after seeing the tragic situation of the girls, Mique, who has not been as devastated as Yunhe and the others, gradually felt pain, and finally could no longer bear the condemnation of conscience, and decided to expose the darkness."

"However, Yunhe has a very good relationship with the officials of Nara's town magistrate. If he reports to the officials, his report is very likely to be lost because of the collusion between Naramachi magistrate and Yunhe."

"So Mique continued to endure the condemnation of his conscience, silently waiting for the opportunity to expose this darkness."

"That's how I waited until the arrival of Jiangong and I."

"Mi Que said that he was about to be condemned by his own conscience and was about to go crazy. If he didn't find a way to report the villains like Yunhe, he might really go crazy."

"So he, who was broken and broken, decided to pin his hopes on me and Kuro, who he thinks have very honest eyes."

"I can't leave freely, and at the same time I don't have the ability to leave Nara, let Kuro and I go to the temple temple that specializes in Buddhist temples and shrines, and report the matter to the temple temple."

"At that time, I was dubious about Mi Que's words. After all, Yunhe was a villain full of male thieves and prostitutes. It was completely Mi Que's one-sided words."

"It cannot be ruled out that Mique is maliciously reporting Yunhe."

"So I planned to wait until after dark, and together with Kuro, I would sneak into Honzoji Temple to spy on information, to see if what Yazaku said was true or not."

"After confirming the authenticity of Mizaku's words, we can make plans for the next step."

"But who knows that just after night falls, an accident will come."

"After reporting Yunhe's evil deeds to me, in order to prevent Yunhe from discovering his betrayal, Mique hurried back to Honzoji Temple."

"As soon as it got dark, Jiangong and I saw Mique, who was dripping with blood and fled to me with his last breath."

"It turns out that Yunhe has long suspected that Mi Que has a heart of betrayal, so every time Mi Que goes out, he will secretly send a tracking expert to follow Mi Que."

"Just today Yunhe finally caught evidence of Mique's betrayal."

"So after Mi Que returned to the temple, Yunhe planned to kill Mi Que, but Mi Que escaped by luck."

"However, even though the blood on his body was almost drained when he escaped, when he escaped to my place, he had no breath left."

At this moment, Lin slowly lowered her head, looking at her open left palm.

"The bloody Mizaku grabbed my hand with all my strength and told me to go to Hongzoji Temple to save those poor girls."

"After Skylark learned that Miquero had really betrayed him, he hastily mobilized all his accomplices to kill the poor girls they hid in the temple, and destroyed the corpses and evidence."

"After exhausting the last bit of strength in his body and asking me to save those poor girls, Mique swallowed his last breath."

"Kurou and I rushed to the Honzoji Temple as quickly as possible, carrying the sword."

"It's still a step too late."

"After Kuro and I rushed to Honzoji Temple and sneaked into the depths of Honzoji Temple, we quickly found a secret room with a strong smell of blood."

"At that time, there were two monks cleaning the secret room. After interrogating the monk with Jiasheng Jiangong, we finally knew that the evil deeds that Mique said about Yunhe were all true."

"Those girls have been killed, and their bodies have been cleaned up. There is no evidence to prove that Yunhe and the others have done those nasty things."

"Without these evidences, the government will have nothing to do with Yunhe, but this kind of thing doesn't matter anymore."

"Because I was determined at that time not to let Yunhe see the sun of tomorrow again."

"This is the truth about my attack on Honzoji Temple."

"The burning of the Honzoji Temple was purely accidental. When Jiulang and I were fighting with that cloud crane, we accidentally knocked over the candlestick."

"The overturned candlesticks ignited screens, paper windows and other inflammable objects. That night happened to be another dry, windless night. The fire got out of control in an instant and engulfed the entire Honzoji Temple."

"My lord, you and Jiangong are fighting with that Yunhe?" Shimada widened his eyes at this time, "Is that Yunhe so powerful? Can he fight with the lord and Jiangong?"

Lin nodded: "That's what I'm going to focus on next."

"That Yunhe's skill is not outstanding, in terms of skill alone, he is naturally not as good as any of me and Jiangong."

"But he was an extremely difficult man to die."

Ogata's brows twitched sharply.

Then he held his breath, ready to listen carefully to Lin's next words.

"His self-healing ability is extremely strong. After a knife is cut on him, it can be clearly seen that the wound on his body heals at a speed visible to the naked eye."

"With more than a dozen knives in his body, he can still fight with me and Jiangong like a normal person."

"What's even more frightening is that his physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people."

"All of you here are not ignorant of martial arts. You should also know what it means for a person's strength, agility, and reaction speed to be much higher than yours."

"No matter how good your skills are, it's hard to make an effective attack against someone whose physical fitness is far superior to yours."

"Of course that Yunhe was able to last so long under the attack of Jian Gong and me. Apart from his body being different from ordinary people, there is another very important reason, because I want to capture him alive."

"I wonder how his body came to be like this."

"So when Jiulang and I used the saber, we both showed some affection."

"Although his self-healing ability is amazing, he is not a real undead who can't be killed no matter how hard he cuts."

"After giving him a certain amount of trauma, the recovery speed of his wounds became significantly weaker."

"After cutting hundreds of knives on his body, the self-healing of his wounds finally stopped."

"But I didn't expect that Yunhe is also a ruthless character."

"Seeing that there was no hope of surviving, he immediately swallowed a poison, which completely failed my plan to capture him alive."

"But before he committed suicide, he said something that concerned me very much."

"He said: If I had a real immortal body, I wouldn't be afraid of you!"

"After shouting this sentence, he committed suicide by taking poison."

"After his suicide, the officials of the Naramachi Prefectural Office also rushed to the periphery of the Honzoji Temple that was about to burn down."

"I don't want to conflict with the official, so I can only temporarily retreat with Jiulang."

"Before leaving Honzoji Temple, I took Yan Mo away."

"Letting Yan Mo stay in such a dirty place like Honzoji is an insult to this precious sword."

"Besides, taking away Yan Mo can be regarded as revenge. Although not all monks in Honzoji Temple participated in Yunhe's evil deeds, I still don't have any good feelings for Honzoji Temple."

"But I'm not in vain."

"When I took Yan Mo away, I put all the money I had on my body at the time, a total of 300 taels. But it was useless for me to do so. I was still regarded as a villain who burned temples and stole treasures. thief."

"But it doesn't matter. When I decided to make Yunhe never see the sun again, I was already mentally prepared to be regarded as the enemy of Buddhism. I don't care if my reputation will become worse. It's one o'clock."

"After leaving Nara smoothly, Yunhe's words before his death have kept me in my heart."

"According to Yunhe's dying cry and my intuition, I have to suspect that there is a mysterious organization or a mysterious person who has the ability to turn a person's body into a monster-like body."

"And Yunhe's immortal body is probably not the most complete one, because before he died, he shouted that if I had a real immortal body."

"The fact that there is a mysterious organization or a mysterious person who has the ability to turn people into monsters makes me very uncomfortable."

"After all, if this ability falls into the hands of some lunatic or careerist, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Judging from Yunhe's character, it is very likely that this ability that allows people to have an immortal body will fall into the hands of unscrupulous people."

"That's not what I want to see."

"Affected the realization of my dream."

"Even people who don't know anything about business should know that business can only be done in a stable and peaceful environment."

"If the world is messed up by ambitious people, how can I make money?"

"And I don't like to see that kind of ambitious person who only has his own selfish desires in his mind, making the world miserable."

"So I decided to investigate Undead, to find out who has the ability to turn people into monsters."

"Finding out the truth about immortality will inevitably lead to battles, so I successively recruited Yahachi, Shichirobei, and Katsurokuro who have excellent skills. And expand the scale of the business under my command to earn more sufficient funds."

"Furthermore, at the beginning of last year, I finally collected useful information and heard rumors of undead people appearing on Butterfly Island, so I sent Kuro and Mibaden Island to check the situation."

"I don't need to repeat what happened after that."

It's not a long story, it's over.

Ogata pursed his lips, silently digesting the story Lin just told.

And Shimada touched his nose at this time, smiled and said in an admiring tone:

"So that's the way it is, so it's for this reason that I've worked so hard to investigate Undead."

"As expected of the lord, I am willing to take the initiative to dip into this kind of muddy water in order to prevent the ambitious people from raging on the people of the world. If it were me, I should avoid this kind of muddy water for fear."

"Didn't you listen carefully to what I just said?" Lin turned her head slightly, so that Ogata and others could not see her face, "I didn't go to great lengths to investigate the immortal for such a noble reason. , I mainly want to make my dream of making a lot of money and being a big businessman come true.”
