I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Chapter 415: "The state of no self"!

  ...

  ...

   Ogata, carrying melons on his back, was galloping on a deserted street in Edo.

   Because Guomao was injured and couldn't run fast, Ogata ran with Guomao on his back.

  Guansheng is not only petite, but also very light.

   For Ogata, who is currently at a strength of 14 points, carrying melons on his back is no different from carrying a cat on his back.

   "Are your feet cold?"

   Ogata lowered his eyes and glanced at the raw feet behind him.

  Because Kayo is only wearing a thin white yukata, Ogata just took off the dark blue Haori from him before leaving Yoshihara with Kayo on his back and lent it to Kayo to wear it.

   But Yuori can only protect the upper body of Guasheng, but can't protect Guasheng's feet without socks.

   The wind is quite strong tonight, a little bit cool.

   "Well...Fortunately, it's not very cold. I can bear it." Gua Sheng said softly.

   Guasheng turned his gaze sideways and glanced at the profile of Ogata who was close to her.

   "Mashima-kun...Why did you come to my house just now?" Guasheng slowly said in a hesitant tone.

   "I just ran into an uncle who was injured." Ogata told the truth. "He said that a girl named Gushohide who works at the Yoshihara Shiro Bingbei Club is in danger. Let me save you quickly."

   "So I am here."

   "Injured?" Guasheng widened her eyes. She guessed who this uncle is just now, "Mashima-kun, is that uncle okay?"

   "My friend should have taken him to a safe place by now and called a doctor to treat him."

   Speaking of this, Ogata turned his head and looked at the melon who was lying on his back.

   "Miss Gusheng, tell me now how you got into the ninja in Shiranui."

   "Do you know that those people were ninjas in Shiranui?" Guasheng's face was surprised.

   "Because of some complicated reasons, I am quite familiar with Shiranui. What kind of Balrog, Shuntaro and Gokutaro of the "Four Heavenly Kings", I have also heard of these people by their names."

   "...You still know Jitarou." Gusheng bit his lip and remained silent.

   After a long silence, Guasheng whispered in a calm tone:

   "I used to...was the daughter of a certain sword museum owner in Kamakura..."

   "There are a pair of kind parents and a gentle brother."

   "Although life is not rich, but I don't have to worry about food and clothing."

   "Then... 4 years ago, when I was 12 years old, something happened..."

   "Father is a very helpful and enthusiastic person."

   "When he was out one day four years ago, he ran into two young people who were chasing and killing an old man."

   "The jealous father repelled the two young men and saved the old man."

   "I only found out afterwards...the two young people...are ninjas in Shiranui."

   "That old man was the assassination target who was commissioned by someone to assassinate the ninjas in Shiranui."

   "Father's act of repulsing their ninja and saving the old man, which caused their mission to fail, angered Shiranui..."

   "In order to retaliate, they decided to kill this unsure guy and all his family members."

  Guansheng's tone was still calm, but Ogata could feel the two arms that were around his neck were slowly tightening.

   "The person sent to retaliate by Shiranui is one of the "Four Heavenly Kings", Gokutaro."

   "Gokutaro is notoriously bloodthirsty. The other three of the "Four Heavenly Kings" killed the other three people. There may not be as many people as Guktaro."

   "That night...Gokutaro broke into his father's sword hall alone."

   "Father and elder brother...neither are Gokutaro's opponents."

   "While my father and brother dragged Gitaro, my mother stuffed me into a cabinet."

   "That is a special cabinet. There is a tunnel hidden at the bottom of the cabinet. It is an escape route created by his father with a playful mentality before and commissioned by a friend."

   "Mother, she said to me at the time: ‘You go first, and I’ll follow later’."

   "But I could see at the time that my mother was lying completely. After she stuffed me into the closet, she wanted to hold Gitaro as much as possible like my father and brother did to get me time to escape..."

   "As soon as my mother stuffed me into the cabinet, I passed through the gap in the cabinet and saw Kokutaro walking into the room with a **** knife..."

   "I saw with my own eyes how Giktaro killed my mother..."

   "I was totally scared and stupid..."

   "After seeing my mother being killed, I was completely stupid and got into the escape passage in the cabinet, and fleeing like a life..."

   Ogata clearly felt that the arms around his neck were trembling slightly.

   "After I fled until I had no strength to escape, I realized later that I had no family..."

   "But maybe it's because I shouldn't have died... not long after I recovered my life, I happened to encounter Lord Shiro Hebei who was on a business trip to Kamakura for some business."

   "I told Mr. Shiro Biebe about my experience, and Mr. Shiro Biebe sympathized with me as an orphan, so he brought me to Edo."

   "So I started working at the Shirobei Club..."

   "In order to protect me from possible chase, Lord Shiro Biebe changed my name."

   "The original "Melon Health Benefit" has been changed to the current "Melon Health Show"."

   "Although I was born in a surreptitious manner, I have never forgotten the enmity that my family was killed."

   "While practicing my swordsmanship, I was investigating who killed my family in the first place."

"The weapons used by the people who killed my family are two swords. Very few people use this weapon. In addition, I clearly remember the appearance of the murderer. It took me nearly 3 years until the end of last year. It was finally found out that the person who killed my family was the'Four Heavenly Kings' Jitarou in Shiranui..."

   "After learning that my enemy is a behemoth like Shiranui... To be honest, I was desperate."

   A wry smile slowly emerged on Guasheng's face.

   Gusheng’s eye sockets are also slightly red at this time.

   "Not long after learning that my enemy is Shiranuiri, I saw Kokutaro again."

   "A few months ago, Shiranui-ri moved the base to Edo, and Gokutaro would come to Yoshiwara for fun every night."

   "I recognized this person at first sight as the enemy who killed my parents and brother."

   "Every time I see him in Yoshihara, I can't wait to lift the knife and kill him..."

   "But I know this is just wishful thinking."

   "I understand very well that even after 4 years of hard training, I cannot be the opponent of Gokutaro who could easily kill his father in the first place."

   "Swinging a sword and rushing up to take revenge, it must be dead."

   "While holding back, I was thinking about ways to avenge Gokutaro and Shiranui."

   "Then...I met someone by chance."

   "A ninja in Shiranui who happened to be on a mission near Yoshihara."

   "Although he is a ninja in Shiranui, he hates Shiranui very much."

   "After meeting and acquainted with him very predestined, he suggested to me-to work together to help the ‘dirty’ in Shiranui escape from Shiranui."

   "He always wanted to help those poor ‘dirty’."

   "But he suffers from the lack of support from people outside the village, and it is difficult to completely send the ‘dirt’ away from Shiranui’s eyelids."

   "So he hopes that I will also help with Shiranui."

   "Thanks to him, I found a way to get revenge on Shiranui."

At this time, a smile finally appeared on Guasheng's face.

   "'Dirt' is an important labor in Shiranui."

   "Once the number of ‘dirt’ decreases, Shiranui’s daily operations will be greatly affected."

   "Let the labor in Shiranui reduce, disrupt the daily operations of Shiranui, and free those who are oppressed in Shiranui-this is the only revenge I can make without strength."

   "So I started to cooperate with that person and started our two unique ways of revenge."

   "That person found an extremely secret passage away from the village in Shiranui."

   "He first helped ‘dirty’ walk this way out of the village to leave Shiranui."

   "Then I, who is familiar with Edo and can move around freely outside Shiranui, will help "Shiku" leave Edo."

   "That person and I helped a lot of ‘dirt’ escape in the past few months."

   "It's a pity that the things we helped'dirty' escape are still revealed."

   "After receiving the wind, that person hurriedly betrayed Shiranuili before being arrested, and then approached me."

   "He told me to run away quickly."

   "With Shiranui's ability, it was only a matter of time that I was found to be his helper."

   "But I refused."

   "I don't want to escape."

   "Four years ago, I was forced to leave my home once."

   "And now...I would rather die than leave my home."

   "So I decided to stay."

   "Silently waiting for the ninjas in Shiranui who may come to you at any time, and then fight with them."

   Speaking of this, Gua Sheng changed into a half-joking tone.

   "When the ninjas in Shiranui come to the door, I will definitely die."

   "So in these few days, I have quietly done my funeral."

   "I told the trustworthy wind chime where I put the money I saved over the years."

   "Let the Taifu take out the money after I die, and use it in a beneficial place."

   Ogata has been listening quietly.

   After Guasheng's voice fell, Ogata whispered:

   "...Sorry. I seem to remind you of some bad past..."

   "It's okay." Guasheng smiled, "I'm not a kid anymore, and I won't be in a bad mood or look depressed just because I remember some unhappy past."

  Hu—!

   Just then, a strong wind blew.

   The hair that blows melons is flying.

   A piece of paper caught in the skirt of her yukata was blown away by the sudden strong wind.

"what!"

   Guasheng let out a small exclamation, hurriedly reached out to grab it, and caught the piece of paper that almost flew away in time.

   "Good risk..." Guasheng muttered, "I was almost blown away."

  Ou looked back in the direction.

   "Why are you still carrying this stuff?" Ogata raised his eyebrows.

   The almost blown paper in the hands of Guasheng is a portrait of Ogata.

   After being kicked by Kokutaro and hitting the wall just now, causing the portrait of Ogata that was not glued to fall off, Guasheng picked up the portrait and stuffed it into the skirt of the yukata.

   "This is my treasure..."

   Guasheng looked at the portrait of Ogata in his hand, his eyes gradually softened.

   "It was the story of Ogata-sama that inspired me."

   "At the end of last year, after I finally found out that my enemy was Shiranui, I was so desperate that I didn't know what to do."

   "How can I take revenge on such a behemoth..."

   "When I was desperate, I heard the story of Ogata-sama."

   "Master Ogata experienced something similar to mine."

   "The master's gate was slaughtered, and the enemy is a feudal lord."

   "If you fail, you will die. If you succeed, you will be wanted all over the country."

   "Even so, Ogata-sama raised the righteous sword to avenge himself and those who were victimized by the tyrant in Gen Matsudaira."

   "It may be an exaggeration to say that, but after hearing the story of Ogata-sama, it really feels like the whole world has become brighter."

   "I respect... and also admire Ogata-sama who can succeed in revenge."

   "To motivate myself, I posted a portrait of Ogata-sama on the wall of my house."

   "If it weren't for Ogata-sama, I might still be living in despair. I wouldn't be like this, resolutely doing everything I can and revenge for Shiranui."

   "In addition to motivating myself, I also make wishes to Ogata-sama's portrait from time to time."

   "...make a wish?" Ogata wondered.

   "Hmm." Guasheng nodded softly, "I make a wish to Ogata's portrait every day: I hope Ogata-sama can help me get revenge."

   "Master Ogata is very strong and can do things I can't do. Even the'Four Heavenly Kings' in Shiranui may not be his opponent."

   "So I have been looking forward to the day in the future when Ogata-sama will appear in Edo just like he suddenly appeared in Kyoto a few months ago."

   "Next, like the tyrant who killed the Hirose clan at that time, kill Shiranui."

   "Like helping a lot of people who had hatred against Matsuhira source back then, they also helped me get revenge..."

   "But I also know this is wishful thinking."

   Guasheng smiled, with a somewhat helpless smile.

   "The world is so big, how could Ogata-sama happen to appear in Edo so coincidentally, and then he will help me get revenge..."

   A faint smile slowly emerged following Ogata's slightly upturned mouth.

   "'Hangman Ichidozai' is actually just an ordinary person."

   "He is not a god."

   "There is no need to respect and worship him as a'god'."

   "You don't need to call him'adult' either."

   "Ogata-sama may have a lot of strange and weird problems, and you may be disillusioned when you know it."

"For example: He is actually a nice person. When he sees a girl with a big breast, he can't help but glance at the other's chest, or he falls in love at first sight because of the big breast and good-looking appearance. "

   "Hey! Don't speak ill of Ogata-sama! Don't make Ogata-sama so superficial!"

   Because he was holding Ogata's portrait in one hand and Ogata's neck in the other, it was inconvenient for Guasheng to teach Ogata, who dared to speak ill of her idol.

   So, she buried her head and bit Ogata's neck with her teeth like a vampire.

   Kuasheng didn't use any force, but it also gave Ogata a feeling of being stabbed by a small needle.

   Just when Ogata was about to say something, he suddenly heard a sharp and extremely sharp wind breaking behind him.

   Hearing the sound of breaking the wind, Ogata's pupils shrank suddenly.

   swiftly jumped to the side with Gusheng on his back.

   As soon as he jumped away, there was a kunai wrapped in a huge power, cutting through the air where Ogata was standing just now.

  In the next moment after jumping away, Ogata immediately followed the direction that Kunai flew in.

   I saw a vague figure slowly walking out of the shadow not far away.

   After stepping out of this shadow and moonlight hitting the figure, Ogata and Guasheng finally saw the true face of this figure.

   is Gokutaro.

   is holding two swords, Gitaro now looks quite weird.

   The green veins exposed outside the clothes burst out.

   Skin appears dark red.

   Ogata is faintly, and some thin gas similar to steam can be seen from Gokutaro's body.

   Looking at the Gokutaro who became like this, Ogata frowned, and whispered in a volume that only he could hear:

   "'Yasha Realm'..."

  Kuansheng is the first time he has witnessed the appearance of a person who has entered the "Yaksha Realm", so Tookoku Taro looked suspicious and surprised.

  Of course, Guasheng's hatred of Gokutaro was not missing in his gaze.

   After walking out of the shadow where he had just hidden, Gitaro smiled sly at Ogata and Guasheng.

   "Finally let me find you."

  Gokutaro fixed his gaze on Ogata.

   "You bastard."

   "Because of you, I wasted a precious "Yasha pill"!"

   "I must have cut you tonight!"

   Facing the threat of Gokutaro, Ogata remained unmoved, and even his expression did not change a bit, but said lightly:

   "It's so lucky that you can find here."

   "Ah, I'm really lucky! It seems that the two of you are destined to die here tonight!"

   In order to recover the escaped melon and ensure the success of the mission, Kokutaro resolutely took the precious "Yasha Maru".

   After entering the "Yasha Realm", Kokutaro relied on his soaring physical fitness, leaving behind Keitaro and others who could not keep up with him, and went back to the escaped melon alone.

  Because I don't know which direction Gusheng escaped from, so Jitarou can only try his luck.

  Gokutaro first went all the way to the southeast.

  Because of entering the "Yasha Realm", Kokutaro runs extremely fast.

   quickly searched for a circle in the southeast direction, and after finding no human figure, Gitaro decisively changed his search direction and looked for the northeast direction.

   Just as Kokutaro said just now—he was lucky.

After    changed to search the northeast direction, Gitaro immediately saw Ogata who was running away with melon on his back.

  Guansheng didn't know what Gokutaro looked like, but she instinctively felt that the current Gokutaro was very dangerous.

   After biting her lip hard, Guasheng put her lips to the ear of Chao Ogata, and whispered:

   "Majima-kun, thank you for coming to rescue me, you put me down now, and run away."

   "You don't need to go on adventures for me..."

   "I'll help you buy time to escape."

   After entering the "Yasha Realm", Kokutaro's senses became more acute.

   The whispers that Guasheng said to Ogata, Kokutaro could hear them clearly.

   "None of you can escape!"

  Gokutaro's facial features became ferocious.

   "Gushengxiu! You can't even block me! You want to buy time for this guy to escape!"

   "Say less in your dreams."

   Speaking of this, Kokutaro turned his attention to Ogata again.

   "You guy hurt Gu Shengxiu in a disguised way."

   "I didn't want to do anything to Gua Shengxiu, I just wanted to kill her directly."

   "But thanks to you, I'm so angry now."

   "I won't let the two of you die so easily now."

   "I have played so many Yoshiwara's Yu Girls, and I have never played Yoshiwara's official post."

   "I want to take Gua Shengxiu home, and kill it when I get tired of it!"

   "As for you... I will also take you back, and I will kill you after torturing you into an inhuman form!"

  Gokutaro’s humiliation of not putting them in his eyes at all made Gua Sheng’s face full of grief and anger.

   There is a little despair and unwillingness mixed in grief and anger.

   and a faint fear.

   The arms around Ogata's neck also trembled slightly.

   Just as the fear and despair in the heart were suppressed by the strong force of Gua Sheng, when he planned to say to Ogata again, "Run, I'll break it"...

  ...

  ...

   "Miss Gusheng, although it may be too late to say so now. But your wish just now...I really heard it."

  ...

  ...

   Ogata put down the melon on his back while saying this, and then walked slowly to the opposite side of Gokutaro.

   Knowing what Ogata is going to do, Guomao let out a scream:

   "Mashima-kun, what are you doing? Run away!"

   Ogata seemed to have not heard the words of Gusheng, staring at the opposite Gokutaro with no expression.

   Seeing that he didn't escape, he walked directly across from him and made it clear that Ogata was going to confront him. A hint of sarcasm appeared on Kokutaro's face.

   "Huh, you unknown person is not qualified to be my opponent!"

"Fine!"

  Gokutaro sneered and lifted the sword with both hands.

   "Let you see the strength of the'Four Heavenly Kings' in Shiranui!"

   "...the nameless?" Ogata, who had been expressionless just now, had a strange smile on his face.

   Ogata raised his left hand and touched the skin under the earlobe of his right ear.

   Like a dead skin, pinch the skin under the earlobe of the right ear, and then...

   hiss!

   Under the eyes of Kokutaro and Guasheng, Ogata tore off the human skin mask on his face.

   revealed his original face.

   changed from "Mashima Goro" to "Ogata Ishi"!

   After Ogata tore off the human skin mask on his face, whether it was Kokutaro or Guasheng, they were directly stunned.

  Gokutaro recognizes this face.

   After the mission to defend Nijo Castle failed, the wanted warrant for the culprit who caused their mission to fail spread throughout Shiranui.

   Every ninja in Shiranui was asked to remember this face, and was asked to take revenge on the **** who failed their important mission.

  , who had been tired of looking at the wanted order for a long time, appeared in front of Gitaro's eyes at this time, causing Gitaro's mouth to open involuntarily.

   As for melons...

   After seeing Ogata tear off the "face" of "Majima Goro" and revealing the real appearance under the human skin mask, he was as stunned as Gokutaro.

   then quickly lowered his head to look at the portrait of Ogata in his hand.

   I looked at Ogata's portrait for a while, and then looked at Ogata's face not far away.

   kept comparing.

   I don't know how many times I have compared it. After confirming that the person in front of me is the person in the portrait, Guasheng's lips began to tremble slightly.

   Guasheng couldn't help raising his hands, covering his trembling red lips, and covering his mouth that almost screamed.

   A pair of nice big eyes started to become moist with the redness of the eye sockets.

   After tearing off the human skin mask, Ogata put the mask in his arms while slowly adjusting his breathing rhythm.

   adjusted his breathing to the breath of the source.

   At the next moment when the breath becomes the breath of the source—

  ...

   "How? Lord'Four Heavenly Kings', is'Executioner Ichidozai' qualified to be your opponent?"

   After saying that, without waiting for Gokutaro to respond, the thread rushed straight towards Gokutaro like an arrow from the string.

  While rushing to Gokutaro, Ogata pulled out Dashaten and Da Zizai from his waist.

   Ogata's high speed, far above Gokutaro's imagination, made Gokutaro's face full of horror.

   clang!

   reluctantly lifted the two swords in his hand and held up the slashing blow from Ogata.

But at the moment when Ogata’s slash was held, Gokutaro suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. After the sword was held by Gokutaro, Ogata immediately flew up and hit Gokutaro’s abdomen with his knee. .

   Gokutaro, who was flying directly on Ogata's knee, flew out and hit a willow tree behind him.

   "Ahem, ahem...!"

   After the willow tree steadily caught him, Gitaro coughed violently.

   coughing, while raising his head—seeing Ogata holding a pair of knives, slowly walking towards him blankly.

  Gokutaro's face was no longer savage and arrogant.

   What replaces hideousness and arrogance is shock and fear.
