Chapter 349 Let's Go! Goal - Edo!
"I was a swordsman in ancient Japan ()"
(I made a typo in the penultimate sentence of the previous chapter.
The original sentence is:
【Now, as soon as you use the "breath of the source", you can automatically enter the state of "no-self state". 】
This sentence is prone to ambiguity, making some readers think that they can enter the "state of selflessness" by using the "breath of the source".
This is my fault (laughs), I did not write clearly, and wrote a sentence that is prone to ambiguity. My fault.
So I've changed that sentence to:
[Ogata is now free to enter the "Non-Self Realm"]
This sentence is more accurate. )
*****
Ogata took a deep breath, and then slowly switched his breathing to the breath of the source.
【Ding! Using "Breath of Source", temporarily increase the reflex nerve by 10 points]
[Current reflex nerve value: 19 points]
[Concentration has been greatly improved]
At present, using the breath of the source can still temporarily improve Ogata's reflexes and concentration.
But just change the rhythm and strength of breathing a little...
After changing the rhythm and intensity of breathing——
【Ding! The host enters the "Selfless Realm"! 】
As long as you change the rhythm and strength of breathing, you can enter the "state of no self".
Ogata bowed his head, looked at the palms of his hands and firmly grasped his fists, feeling the power that was continuously pouring out of his body, Ogata felt a sense of relief.
The breath of source of the "master level" has to wait about 10 minutes before entering the "state of selflessness".
Using the "No-Self Realm" that requires about 10 minutes of preparation time to fight against the "Yasha Realm" in Shiranui is absolutely at a disadvantage.
Now that the breath of origin has been upgraded to the "grandmaster level", Ogata can be regarded as making up for the biggest weakness of his "selfless state".
After stopping the breathing of the source and switching to normal breathing, the power that filled the whole body slowly receded.
The way to exit the "Non-Self Realm" is the same as the exit method of the "master level" that the breath of the source used to be - just stop the breath of the source.
After exiting the state of "Selfless Realm", Ogata opened his personal system interface again.
Of the 20 skill points earned in the past 10 days, there are still 2 points left.
Where should these two points be used, Ogata has been thinking about it.
Now that he was about to go to Edo, Ogata didn't want to hesitate any longer on this issue.
After thinking for a while, Ogata decided to add these 2 skill points to his physical strength.
If there is any weakness in Ogata's "No-Self Realm" now that he can freely enter the "No-Self Realm", it should be that the "No-Self Realm" requires great physical strength.
Once you enter the "Selfless Realm", you will start to consume your energy crazily. until physical exhaustion.
Therefore, improving one's physical strength is tantamount to prolonging the use time of one's "Selfless Realm".
Moreover, compared with other values, his stamina value is indeed a bit low, and it's time to increase it a little.
—— Add 2 points to stamina.
As soon as the words in Ogata's heart fell, the familiar system voice immediately sounded in his mind:
【Ding! Stamina +2]
[Current physical strength: 13 points]
[Current remaining skill points: 0 points]
After adding points, Ogata jumped off his bed, walked quickly to the door, opened the door, looked up at the sky.
The sun is still some way from its highest point - a little bit before noon.
The luggage had already been packed, and Ogata, who couldn't think of what to do for a while, decided to go to Shimada for a few more rounds to collect some experience points while he still had a little time.
After closing the door, Ogata quickly walked towards Shimada's room.
When walking halfway, Ogata suddenly ran into someone.
"Shallow well."
Ogata called out the person's name,
He raised his hand to greet Asai.
Asai, who was walking towards Ogata, also nodded slightly after seeing Ogata to show that he heard, and raised his hand to Ogata.
If it is said that Ogata is the least familiar with all the members of Gourd House except Lin and Genichi, then Ogata will definitely say Asai's name without hesitation.
He has the longest friendship with Mamiya and Mucun. He fought side by side in Butterfly Island together, and rushed back to Owari from Kii together, so he is the closest to these two—especially Mucun.
Mucun's personality is carefree and eclectic. Ogata likes people with Mucun's personality very much, so Mucun can be regarded as the person who has the best relationship with Ogata in the whole gourd house.
As for Shimada - Ogata has been practicing swords with him for the past 10 days, and Shimada helped Ogata gain experience points.
In the competition with Shimada, Ogata also played the role of a master, giving Shimada a lot of guidance on swordsmanship.
After spending 10 days in this kind of relationship that is close to that of a "master-student", the relationship between Ogata and Shimada has also become a lot closer, from the original acquaintance of nodding to the current one that can naturally chat together Relationship.
Only the relationship with Asai is still a nodding acquaintance.
Although the time we spent together was not particularly long, Ogata still saw some of Asai's character traits to some extent.
Asai is a...somewhat sullen person.
In normal times, he is a very quiet, taciturn, and seldom-spoken person.
But at certain times, it will also show a very positive and talkative side - for example, at the previous "XP System Seminar", Asai made a long speech on how beautiful the back of the neck is for women, Seriously talking about his love for the back of the neck of women.
Because Asai didn't like to talk very much, and almost never took the initiative to talk to Ogata, so Ogata and Asai were not very familiar with each other.
Originally, Ogata just wanted to say hello to Asai, and then went to find Shimada.
But unexpectedly, when passing by Asai, Asai suddenly took the initiative to talk to Ogata:
"One Dao Zhai, have you seen Jian Gong?"
Unexpectedly, Asai would take the initiative to talk to him, so Ogata was stunned for a moment, and then replied:
"Gamiya? No, I didn't see it. Are you in a hurry to find Jiangong?"
"It's not urgent." Asai said, "It's just that I'm bored and I plan to play shogi with Mamiya."
"Are you going to play chess with Gamiya again... You and Gamiya really have a good relationship." Ogata smiled.
Over the past 10 days, one of the scenes that Ogata has seen the most is Asai playing shogi with Mamiya.
Asai seems to like playing shogi very much, and would pull Mamiya to play shogi from time to time.
And the place where they play chess is also very fixed - under the tree of a certain tree in the temple.
Because that big tree is the place Ogata must pass to get to the open space where he and Shimada used as a sword practice place, so Ogata can always see them playing chess there.
According to Ogata's observation, Asai also seems to have the best relationship with Gamiya.
To Makimura, Shimada, and Genichi, Asai has always had a lukewarm attitude.
Especially when it comes to Makimura—perhaps because the two people's personalities don't quite match, Ogata has seen the two quarrel many times because of some trivial matters.
Although these quarrels broke out between the two of them, they were just small fights.
Asai only showed a more enthusiastic side when dealing with Gamiya.
Not only is he far more enthusiastic when facing Gamiya than other people, but in front of Gamiya, Asai has always spoken respectfully and respectfully.
Among all the members of Gourd House, Asai only uses honorifics for 3 people: Rin, Genichi and Mamiya.
As soon as Ogata's words fell, Asai paused, and then said slowly:
"Gamiya is the only person here who can play shogi. My lord and Mucun either don't know how to play shogi, or their chess skills are unsightly. So I can only find Mamiya if I want to play shogi."
"So I didn't play chess with Gamiya because I have a good relationship with Gamiya."
"It's because I can only play chess with Gamiya, so I play chess with Gamiya."
After that, Asai stopped talking to Ogata, passed by Ogata, and continued to look for Mamiya.
Looking at the back of Asai leaving, Ogata couldn't help but muttered to himself in a helpless tone:
"Being invited to play chess very naturally, isn't this the proof of a good relationship..."
...
...
Not long after parting from Asai, Ooja ran into Mucun again on the way.
"Hey, Brother Ogata." Mucun took the initiative to greet Ogata, "Where are you going?"
"I have nothing to do, I just went to Shimada to practice swordsmanship. What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to the village at the foot of the mountain. Interrogate that Heitaro again." Mucun shrugged, "Maybe this time we can get something new out of that guy's mouth."
Mu Cun didn't eat, drink and sleep every day for the past 10 days.
These days, Mucun mainly does one job: interrogate Heitaro who was captured by them, and see if he can ask anything more from him.
It's a pity—no matter how Mucun interrogates, he can't extract any valuable information from Heitaro.
It seems that Heitaro should have already told everything he knows.
However, due to the professional inertia of Kyoto Yori in the past, Makimura instinctively doubts whether Heitaro has spit out everything he knows.
So he planned to interrogate Heitaro again before leaving for Edo.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries with Mucun, Obi said goodbye to Mucun, and continued to head straight for Shimada's room.
This time, I didn't run into other people on the way.
When looking for Shimada, Shimada had just finished packing his luggage.
Seeing that Ogata came to invite him to practice swords while there is still some time, Shimada who happened to have no idea what to do next readily agreed to Ogata's invitation.
Although there is not much free time for Ogata to squander, Ogata still seized the time and used Wuwo Dual Sword Style to compete with Shimada for 4 games.
Let your personal level and the experience bar of the selfless two swords flow become LV32 (28504800) and 10th stage (617010000) respectively.
After these 4 matches, Okuma had to stop the match with Shimada because it was time for lunch.
Today's lunch is made by Lin who has returned.
Looking at the neat three dishes and one sauce in front of him, Ogata couldn't help but feel mixed emotions...
In the past 10 days, Ogata ate a big miscellaneous pot for almost every meal...
To be honest, I feel like I'm going to vomit...
In order to adjust the taste, Ogata has personally cooked for the past 10 days, cooking meals for everyone.
Although it may be exaggerated to say so, Ogata really felt a sense of salvation after finally seeing dishes other than the big miscellaneous pot in the base of the Gourd House for a long time...
Lin's craft is very good. Ogata also heard from Mamiya and the others that one of Lin's hobbies was cooking, so when Lin was in charge of the base, Lin single-handedly took care of everyone's meals.
After quickly eating the long-lost sumptuous food, everyone finally started to leave for Edo.
The boat that Rin prepared to go to Edo was located on the coastline southeast of Owari.
Their base of Gourd House is located in the southeast of Owari, so it doesn't take much time to go to the coastline southeast of Owari.
Everyone set off in the afternoon, and at dusk the next day, they saw the sea.
According to Lin - the boat was bought from a wealthy fisherman's family she knew well.
The fisherman happened to have a sailboat that could accommodate eight people, so Lin bought the boat with a lot of money.
After seeing the sea, Lin first led the people to visit the fisherman, and then the fisherman led them to the coastline to deliver the boat.
...
...
"Is this our boat?!" Ah-Ming looked at the sailboat in front of him with excitement.
Ogata followed other people around and looked at the sailboat docked on the shore in front of him.
The sailboat was big and new, more than enough to accommodate 8 of them.
After Ogata looked at the sailboat in front of him several times, he turned his head to look at the excited A-Machi beside him.
"Machi, you seem to be very happy."
"Yeah!" Ah-Ming nodded vigorously, "I've never taken a boat out to sea before!"
"Coincidentally." Ogata smiled, "Me too."
Before coming to the Edo period, Ogata took a speedboat several times.
Ogata had never been on this kind of sailboat before, and when he thought that he would go out to sea on this sailboat later, Ogata couldn't help but look forward to it.
Lin quickly took care of all the chores and chores of receiving the sailboat, and greeted everyone to board the boat and prepare to sail.
After everyone stood on the deck, Lin, who has always acted vigorously and vigorously, did not hesitate or hesitate, and directly waved her small hand and ordered the boat to sail.
After hearing Lin's order to sail the ship, Shimada was the first to show a look of astonishment.
Shimada looked around, then said anxiously to Lin:
"My lord! Don't we have any other crew members to assist in steering the ship?"
There were only 8 people on board, Ogata, Atachi, Genichi, Rin, Mamiya, Makimura, Asai, and Shimada.
Apart from the 8 of them, there was no one else.
"A small boat like ours doesn't need any crew." Lin said angrily, "Kuro is enough for us."
...
...
Looking at the coast getting further and further away, Ogata turned his head and said to Mamiya who was controlling the sail:
"You can handle this type of sailboat..."
"I once learned how to sail this type of sailboat in the Hyuga area." Mamiyato, who was concentrating on playing with the sails, replied without looking back.
As he gradually moved away from the coastline, Ogata gradually felt the bumpy feeling of the deck under his feet becoming more and more intense.
Although Ogata was a little uncomfortable with the strong shaking when it first appeared, but he soon got used to it.
The same is true for Makimura and Shimada, who have never been on a boat before, and they gradually recovered after a short period of discomfort.
However...someone couldn't slow down...
...
...
After going out to sea for about half an hour——
"Ha...ha...ha...uh...!"
Machi, with a pale face, held on to the wooden fence on the edge of the sailboat.
Although he tried his best to hold back, he still couldn't resist the strong nausea, and vomited into the rough sea.
Ogata, who had been standing next to A-Machi, saw that A-Machi started to vomit, so he immediately turned his body to one side and used his body to block A-Machi, preventing others from seeing the appearance of A-Machi who was vomiting.
While helping A-Ming to block the sight of others, Ogata raised his hand to caress A-Ming's back, helping A-Ming calm down.
"Getting out of the boat...isn't fun at all...uh...!" Ah-Ming was crying, his expression of anticipation and excitement was gone...
"It's okay." Ogata comforted from the side, "After you vomit, I'll help you to rest in the cabin."
Only half an hour into the sea, Ah-cho collapsed due to seasickness...
I have to say, this is considered a bad start...
On the side, Makimura cast helpless glances at Atachi, who was still lying on the fence, and Ogata, who was taking care of him, and said to Lin behind:
"My lord, what should we do now? A-cho is seasick...huh? My lord?"
Before Mu Cun could finish asking the question, he suddenly heard the sound of heavy breathing coming from behind him.
Turning his head and looking back, he saw Lin who was standing behind him, her face was pale at this time...
Looking at the pale Lin, an ominous premonition began to emerge from Mucun's heart.
It wasn't just Mucun who had an ominous premonition.
The rest of the people present, including Ogata, noticed Lin's strangeness, and they all had the same ominous premonition as Mucun...
"Master..." Mucun hesitated, "Could it be that you are..."
"Hmm...I seem to have a cold..."
After all, Lin fell to one knee on the ground as if all the strength in her body had been taken away.
"Master!" Mucun exclaimed, "Are you seasick too?!"
"Humph……"
Lin, who was pale, let out a cold snort.
"How can I get seasick... I just feel a headache, some nausea... I should just have a cold... Huh, the sea breeze is really cold... Everyone remember to keep warm, don't catch a cold like me ..."
"No, you are just ordinary seasick!" Mucun shouted angrily.
"It's a cold." Lin corrected Mucun's statement in a serious tone, "In short... Mihachi... help me to rest... As long as I sleep, my cold should be cured soon..."
"I told you that you are seasick!" Mu Cun shouted angrily again.
"It's a cold." Lin corrected again, "Mihachi, please help me to rest...my cold seems to be getting worse...uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
"Hey! Asai! Shimada! Both of you come here to help! My lord is seasick! I will help my lord into the cabin to rest! You two go to the cabin to make a bed and bring the wooden barrel in the cabin!"
"I've said it all, it's a cold..." Lin corrected her mistake again feebly...
Within half an hour of going out to sea, the only two women in Ogata's party all collapsed due to seasickness...
