I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan - Chapter 744 As expected of the person who can attract the thunder! 【Five thousand four hundred】

Endless darkness...

Can't see anything.

Can't hear anything.

The body seems to have lost its sense of time.

It feels like only 1 second has passed.

It also feels as if it has been in this boundless darkness for hundreds of years...

It wasn't until I don't know how long ago that in this darkness full of dead silence, something new finally appeared.

"…"

Ogata heard the person's voice, but he felt so far away that he couldn't hear it at all.

After the voice fell, Ogata felt his body shaking.

It seemed that someone was shaking his body gently.

"…how?"

There was another voice.

This time the sound was much closer and clearer.

"...amazing...recovery...fast..."

Another voice sounded.

The man's voice was intermittent, and Ogata could barely hear a few words in it.

"...Understood...you...go out..."

The sound was getting closer.

It's an old male voice that always feels... very familiar...

Where did you hear this voice?

My head is chaotic... can't remember...

The pitch-black world suddenly burst into white light at this moment.

This beam of white light destroys this endless darkness.

The darkness is like broken glass, shattered into thousands of pieces, falling and disappearing in a rustling manner.

With the end of the darkness, Ogata finally felt that he was gradually regaining control over his body.

"Hmm..." As Ogata regained consciousness, he slowly raised his eyelids.

The first thing that pierced Ogata's eyes...was the flickering candlelight, and the candlelight smeared Ogata's vision with a dim yellow.

When Ogata's eyes subconsciously sank because they were not used to the light—

"Huh? Are you awake?"

The familiar male voice he heard in the darkness just now came to Ogata's ears again.

—This voice…?

Ogata's eyelids, which had just sunk, opened again, ignoring the unaccustomed light around him.

He stared round his eyes and looked in the direction from the old male voice just now.

I saw an old man standing beside him...

When his eyes turned to the old man, Ogata's eyes were just barely used to the surrounding light, and he was able to see the old man's face and clothes clearly.

The skin is wrinkled with age, like a dried orange peel.

A prominent goatee is worn on the chin.

He was wearing a simple monk's robe.

It was the old goatee monk that Ogata had met when he attacked Koya Mountain before, who had run over to attack Ogata and scolded Ogata for why he came to attack Koya Mountain!

If Ogata remembers this man's name correctly... the name of this old goatee monk seems to be "Qingyan".

-Why is this man here? Where is this place?

With all these doubts in mind, Ogata looked away from Qingyan's body and looked at the rest of his body.

I now... seem to be in a small tent.

The top of the head is a white tent.

Underneath is a simple bed.

Apart from the bed under him and the candlestick placed at the head of the bed, there is no other furniture around.

The things placed by the head of the bed, in addition to a candlestick, were Ogata's two sabres, and...that beautiful brocade box containing the heads of 800 bhikkhunis.

After seeing that his saber and this brocade box were not lost, Ogata couldn't help but feel a little calmer.

The memory before falling into the boundless darkness slowly revives in Ogata's mind at this moment.

He only remembered... After defeating Itagaki, he had exhausted the last bit of strength from his body and fell to the ground. He could only let his consciousness break little by little, let the waves rise little by little, and let the sea gradually give it to him. submerged...

"That... Your Excellency." Ogata, who couldn't hide his astonishment, turned his eyes back to Qingyan, and subconsciously wanted to get up, "This is... uh!"

As soon as he tried to lift his upper body from the bed, the soreness rushed out from every muscle of his upper body like a swift snake, biting at Ogata's brain, causing Ogata to exhale in pain.

At this moment, Ogata suddenly realized that his body was aching so badly that he even struggled to lift his arm.

He was covered with a thin blanket, and after struggling to lift the blanket, Ogata immediately saw that he was wearing a clean clothes, and the body under the clothes did not see any trauma, but it was sore. sharp.

"Don't move around, lie down obediently." Qingyan strode forward, ran to Ogata's bed, raised his hand to cover the thin blanket on Ogata's body again, "The doctor said that your body is overworked, at least in the future For 7 days, you have to rest in bed with peace of mind and not act rashly."

"Ah, thank you..."

Ogata, who subconsciously said "Thank you", couldn't help but looked up and down several times with the surprised eyes of the old monk who was helping him re-cover the blanket.

Ogata wondered if it was his delusion...

He always felt that when Qingyan talked to him...it was much more polite.

No, it can't be said to be polite.

To use "kindness" to describe...it seems a bit inappropriate.

I should say yes- when talking to him, there seems to be a little more...awe?

"The doctor who treated you just came here once." Ogata heard Qingyan's chatter, and continued, "He said that your injuries are almost completely healed, and you only need to rest for a while, then you will be able to recover. Back to normal."

Having said this, Qingyan paused for a while, and then put on a sentimental tone:

"It's really amazing... It's the first time I've seen a person with such amazing resilience like you... Even the doctor who treated you even exclaimed: "A strange person."

Hearing Qingyan's sigh, Ogata couldn't help but change his expression.

He was a little worried that Qingyan would ask him "why is his body so special".

If he were to ask him this, it would be inconvenient for Ogata to answer such a question.

But fortunately—Qingyan didn't seem to have done much research on the issue of "Ogata's resilience".

After he raised his hand and patted Ogata's chest a few times, he continued to sigh:

"In less than 2 days, all the injuries on the body were healed, and there was no more trauma..."

At the end, Qingyan murmured in awe in a tone that only he could hear clearly: "As expected of a person who can even attract thunder..."

Ogata did not hear Qingyan's murmur.

He only heard Qingyan's phrase "less than 2 days of effort" just now.

Ogata, who frowned uncontrollably for a moment, hurriedly asked Qingyan:

"Second day? Your Excellency, how long have I been in a coma?"

"Huh? Probably...about 5 days."

"5th?" Ogata, who almost exclaimed, quickly asked, "Sir! What exactly is this place? Why am I here?"

"Well..." Qingyan raised his hand and stroked the beard on his chin, "This is somewhere in Ji Yi's field. I can't tell where it is."

"As for why you are here..."

…

…

5 days ago-

Koyasan, Koya Town—

"Ah, ah, ah! Where did this fire come from?!" An old monk shouted in pain.

Wails and griefs similar to this were rising and falling at the foot of Koyasan at this time.

After the fire broke out on Mount Koya, the temples and monks on the mountain hurried down the mountain and fled to Koya Town at the foot of Mount Koya.

In the past, Koya Town, which used to be extraordinarily quiet, is now extra crowded and noisy due to the crowds of monks who came to flee.

Koya Mountain is a Buddhist holy place.

This holy land is now being devastated and ravaged by fire... How can this not make the monks of Koyasan feel overwhelmed with grief?

Some monks wailed.

Some monks fell to the ground and wept bitterly.

Some monks recited Buddhist scriptures and prayed for the disaster-hit Koya Mountains.

There are also some monks... with angry expressions on their faces.

"It is said that the mountain fire was set by Ogata Ichitosai, is this true?!"

"It seems to be the case! Before the wildfire ignited, many people witnessed it - Ogata Ichitosai suddenly appeared, and attacked the Xianyuan Temple, killing a lot of people!"

"We have never provoked Ogata Yidaozhai, why did Ogata Yidaozhai do such a brutal act! Kill my monks and burn my mountain gate!"

…

More and more people joined the ranks of roaring and cursing Ogata.

When Ogata attacked Xianyuan Temple, many people witnessed this "brutal" scene.

Although Xianyuan Temple has long been infiltrated like a sieve by the Toyotomi clan, there are still many normal monks in the temple.

These normal monks of Xianyuan Temple basically witnessed the scene of Ogata attacking their Xianyuan Temple.

Gu Cai

The testimony of these survivors of Xianyuan Temple strongly proves that "Ogata attacked Xianyuan Temple" is indeed the case.

As soon as Ogata attacked Xianyuan Temple, a fire broke out in Koya Mountain - it was difficult for the monks to suspect that the fire was Ogata's cause.

Although some people made calm voices, such as: "It's too arbitrary to doubt Ogata Ichitosai so much", "I saw a lot of brothers killed by Ogata Ichitosai in Xianyuan Temple holding strange weapons, I think we need to look into this.”…

There were calm voices - but too few.

Like a drop of water falling into the sea, those calm voices were all overshadowed by the angry roars and mournful whines of others.

But at this moment—an exclamation with a trembling voice suddenly exploded:

"Ah! Has anyone seen Master Qingyan?"

This exclamation, like some kind of magic, caused all the sounds around him to subside a little.

"Master Qingyan?"

"Yes! Has anyone seen Master Qingyan?"

"Master! Master Qingyan! Where are you?!"

More and more people join in the search for "Master Qingyan".

Another exclamation exploded:

"I remember! Before the mountain fire ignited, Master Qingyan seemed to go to Xianyuan Temple to find Master Xianyuan to explore the Dharma!"

This person's words made the surrounding air... seem to freeze.

"What?! Master Qingyan went to Xianyuan Temple before the fire started?!"

"That's not bad!"

"Master Qingyan shouldn't happen to meet Ogata Ichitosai who attacked Xianyuan Temple..."

"Shh! Don't talk nonsense!"

The crowd shouted.

Worried about the safety of Master Qingyan, the monks spontaneously searched for the figure of Master Qingyan in all parts of Koya Town, which made the already cluttered Koya Town even more chaotic.

Finally—the shout of a certain monk made the hearts of the monks who were worried about the safety of Master Qingyan calm down.

"Ah! I found Master Qingyan! Master Qingyan! I finally found you!"

The people who heard this shouting followed the sound and squeezed their bodies over - the old monk with a goatee, with a straight face, ignoring the concerned greetings of the people around him, while walking forward with big strides surrounded by everyone. , while asking loudly all around:

"Where is Tianhai? Has anyone seen where Tianhai is?!"

When Ogata and the others just rode the carriage on their front legs and went to chase after Toyotomi and others who were about to leave by boat, Qingyan, who was rejected by Ogata and the others, quietly escaped from Hasegawa and the others and ran alone. Back here in Koya Town.

He knew that after the mountain fire broke out in Koya Mountain, the monks on the mountain would definitely gather at the relatively safe Koya town at the foot of the mountain.

The reason why he ran to Koya-cho alone was not for other reasons—just to find Tenkai, a monk who knew him well, and borrowed something from him.

"Master! Tianhai is here! Tianhai is here!" A slender monk squeezed away from the crowd and rushed to the front of Qingyan.

After glancing at the thin monk in front of him, Qingyan said quickly:

"Tianhai, I remember you had a donkey, right? Where is your donkey now?"

"Ah, my donkey happens to be right next to me right now. When the wildfire appeared, I used my donkey to transport a batch of important books..."

"Take me to see your donkey!" Before Tianhai could finish speaking, Qingyan interrupted quickly.

"what?"

"Don't be stunned, take me to have a look."

"Oh...Okay..." Tianhai recovered from his daze, although he didn't understand why Qingyan wanted to see his donkey for no reason, but out of respect for Qingyan, he didn't want to say a half "no", and rushed Qingyan to see him. He was led to his donkey, which was tied to a nearby tree.

"Master, why do you suddenly want to see my donkey..."

"Tianhai, can you lend me your donkey?"

"Huh?" Tian Hai was stunned again, "This... Venerable Master, if you want to use my donkey, I won't say no, but you..."

"Thank you. I'll replace you later." After Qing Yandi interrupted Tianhai's words a few times, he turned over on the donkey with a slightly clumsy movement, and then raised his hand and slapped the donkey's butt.

Ooooooooooooo...!

This rather skinny little donkey raised its two front hooves, and after the horn sounded a few times, it carried Qingyan forward.

The monks, including Tianhai, who had been surrounding Qingyan who had just returned, stared blankly at Qingyan who suddenly left on a small donkey...

The voices of the people around were silent for a while, leaving only the sound of donkey hooves stepping on the ground...

Until a moment later—

"Master! Where are you going?!"

"Master! Master!"

"Master—!"

…

Qingyan ignored the exclamations behind him.

With a solemn expression on his face, he rode the little donkey under him and headed straight for a coast somewhere.

(Then I ask you - how do you explain the hands of these 'monks' that I brought down, holding so many weapons that a monk would not have at all?)

On Koya Mountain just now, every word Ogata said to him flashed across his mind.

Every time he recalled what Ogata had said to him, a trace of pain and annoyance appeared on Qingyan's brows.

Emotionally, Qingyan is unwilling to believe that there are villains lurking on the sacred Koya Mountains.

But after acting with Ogata, what he saw and heard on the back mountain of Koyasan... told him cruelly: what Ogata said to him... all seemed to be true.

No matter what, he wanted to witness with his own eyes—whether a thief was really planning to leave this place on a battleship.

If there is such a thing... then it can be confirmed: he blamed Ogata in the wrong, and there is indeed a vicious villain lurking in the Holy Land!

He had previously asked Ogata to take him with him and go after Toyotomi with him, but he was ruthlessly rejected - it doesn't matter, just reject it!

Anyway, Qingyan knew where the two battleships were docked. Even without the help of Ogata and the others, he could get there by himself!

After he and Ogata reunited with Genichi and Gensho on Koyasan, Gensho blurted out: the dock where the battleship was parked, next to Kii's Cape Village.

Koyasan is located in Kii, and Qingyan has visited many places in Kii, including Cape Village.

Qingyan remembered it very clearly - he had visited Cape Village several times before to teach Buddhism, and he still remembered where Cape Village was!

At this moment, Qingyan, riding a small donkey, was heading towards Cape Village at full speed.

Not long after he set off, a torrential rain poured down.

He ignored the heavy rain and continued on his way.

Qingyan, who was in a hurry to witness the truth with his eyes, could not wait to make the little donkey under his crotch run at the speed of a BMW.

But donkeys are just donkeys after all.

No matter how fast you go, you can't run the speed of a horse.

The little donkey that Qing Yan was riding was not strong at all.

Carrying a big living man like Qingyan, running against such a heavy rain... Anyone with a little common sense knows that this little donkey will definitely not last long.

Sure enough - after this heavy rain fell, the speed of the little donkey began to slow down.

No matter how Qingyan spanked the donkey's butt, the speed of the little donkey was still visible to the naked eye.

Finally - the little donkey stopped completely and stopped moving.

"Hey! Hey!"

Qingyan shouted loudly.

"I see that you usually eat a lot! Why can't you run so quickly?"

No matter how angrily Qingyan urged the little donkey under his crotch to move, the little donkey remained unmoved.

After all, this donkey is not his own, and Qingyan saw that the donkey couldn't run anymore, so he could only sigh in annoyance, and then climbed off the donkey's back.

—Tsk... Trouble... It's still a long way from Cape Village... This donkey is too useless...

Qing Yan anxiously clenched his two fists.

At this moment, he happened to be in a very embarrassing place - on a mountain path that did not go to the village in front of him and not to the store in the back.

I want to borrow some horses or donkeys to use, but I don't know where to borrow them.

Qingyan is anxiously thinking about what time is right now—

Back and forth...

rumble rumble…

At the intersection to the west, there was a sudden sound of chariots and horses.

Qingyan hurriedly turned his head to look - it turned out that a large group of people was driving fast in his direction.

It's a really big queue.

The queue was centered on a slightly luxurious carriage, surrounded by more than 30 heavily armed cavalry escorts.

To be guarded by such a large number of cavalry - there is no doubt that the people sitting in the carriage must be high-ranking officials.

This team is extremely fast.

Only a moment of effort, UU reading www.uukanshu. They approached Qingyan from the depths of the distant rain curtain.

Immediately afterwards, a scene that made Qingyan look surprised appeared.

After approaching Qingyan, the team slowly slowed down and finally stopped in front of Qingyan.

Immediately afterwards, Qingyan saw a slightly familiar middle-aged man stick his head out from the carriage of the surrounded carriage.

"Master Qingyan? Why are you here?"

"Songping...sir?" Qingyan's mouth grew into an "O" shape in surprise.
