Chapter 695 Only when You Reach the Supreme State Can You Control the Thunder and Cast the Method of Lightning Strike [Five Thousand Eight Hundred]

Popular recommendation:

Talking to another self in a space that doesn't look like a dream at all, but is extremely real - if he hadn't experienced such a thing himself, Ogata would have felt that this kind of thing is simply a fantasy.

The scene of meeting another "self" and having a conversation with him... Ogata feels that he will never forget it forever.

Combined with the information Chuguang just revealed—Ogata deduced that he at that time should almost be unable to withstand the "immortality poison"...or the erosion of "immortality power".

At that time, he had already passed out under the erosion of "undead power".

If...he hadn't woken up at that time, he would have died suddenly like those cronies of Toyotomi Nobuhide mentioned by Chuguang who hadn't survived the erosion of the "power of immortality".

Just when I had passed out and was about to close my eyes forever, another "self" suddenly appeared.

"He" took Ogata to watch the past scenes, so that Ogata rekindled his fighting spirit and determination, as well as his consciousness that was about to dissipate, and opened his eyes that had been closed due to the "power of immortality" again.

It can be said that without the help of "him", it is very likely that Ogata would not be able to survive the moment when he finally digested the "power of immortality".

"That person"... It seemed that he appeared at that moment to help Ogata, "wake him up".

Who is "that person"? Since Ogata woke up, this question has been lingering in his mind. .

If anyone is most likely to know the answer to this question... then of course it must be the well-informed Genichi and Fumo.

Therefore, Ogata decided to take advantage of this great opportunity when both Genichi and Fuma happened to be present, and there were no other unrelated outsiders, to ask the two of them this question.

Who knows—he didn't even explain the cause and effect of his question in detail, but he heard an unexpected answer from Feng Mo.

"One is all, all is one?" Ogata couldn't help being startled when he heard this sentence that he had never heard before.

Yuan Yi raised his eyebrows at this moment.

"One is all, all is one... why does this sentence sound familiar..."

"Because I told you before." Feng Mo glanced at Yuan Yi angrily, "I remember it very clearly, probably more than forty years ago, when we first traveled together, I said this Let me tell you a famous saying that has been passed down from generation to generation in our Fengma Village."

"Then you said to me: 'Why do the ancients always like to come up with such riddles that they don't know what they mean or what they mean?'"

"Oh, I remembered." Yuan Yi patted his forehead, "A long time ago, when we were both very young, you did tell me this sentence, because you didn't know what it meant. What do you mean, so I turned around and forgot."

"At the beginning, when I heard you say that the famous saying passed down from generation to generation in our Fuma Village was an inexplicable riddle, I was still very angry, but after thinking about it, I found that you didn't seem to be wrong. It's a mind-boggling riddle."

After briefly laughing with Genichi, Fuma cast serious eyes on Ogata.

"Brother Ogata. Since you can ask such a question, you wouldn't...have you tried talking to yourself?"

"...The thing is like this." Ogata told Genichi and Fuma everything that happened to him in a deep voice.

From how to meet another "self", to how I finally woke up in the shout of "drawing the knife" from the other "self".

The two listeners, Yuan Yi and Feng Mo, looked more serious the more they listened.

After finally explaining the cause and effect of the matter, Ogata quickly asked:

"Master Feng Mo, what does the phrase 'one is all, all is one' mean? Have you experienced similar things?"

"I have never experienced anything similar." Feng Mo raised his hand and scratched his shiny scalp, "Where should I start..."

Feng Mo raised his head slightly, as if thinking.

Ogata didn't urge him, let Fumo think slowly and organize his words.

Fumo didn't keep Ogata waiting too long.

After only a while, Feng Mo opened his lips and said slowly:

"In our Fengmo, there is a saying that has been passed down from generation to generation-'Only by being recognized by another self and having a dialogue with him can one achieve the supreme state of a warrior: one is all, all is one."

"Who said this sentence, and why it spread in our Fengmo, is completely untestable."

"Although this sentence has been circulating in our Fengmo, no one knows what it means."

"I've tried to research the meaning of the phrase, trying to figure out what it means to be recognized and speak to another self" and "one is all, all is one"."

"I have read many classics and asked many experts who are quite accomplished in martial arts."

"However, I searched through all the classics I could find, and finally only found a passage that seems to be related to 'one is all, all is one' in the "Huayan Five Religious Chapters" of the Huayan School of Buddhism—"All dharmas are the same In the door of self-containedness, the above meanings are all, and all are one, harmonious and free from hindrance, forming ears, as if in the door of the body, that is, it is self-contained and encompasses all dharmas."

"You should know what Buddhist scriptures are. Buddhist scriptures are a collection of riddles."

"This passage in "Huayan Five Teaching Chapters" is even more difficult to understand than the famous saying in our Fengmazhili, so it has no reference meaning at all."

"Looking through the classics is ineffective, and asking people around is also ineffective."

"No one knows what it means to be recognized and speak to another self" and "one is all, all is one"."

"When I mentioned this sentence to Yuan Yi, Yuan Yi reprimanded it as 'I don't know the so-called riddle'."

"I'm not wrong." Yuan Yi interrupted abruptly, "This sentence is indeed an incomprehensible riddle, without any explanation. So I turned around and completely forgot this sentence. "

"At the beginning, you told me: You have to use up your whole life to reach the ultimate level of swordsmanship that you can achieve, so I kindly told you this sentence that might help you reach the highest level of swordsmanship." He stared at Yuan Yi with a bit of resentment.

"Hahaha." Yuan Yi smiled casually, "It is interesting to use your own sword to slowly explore things like reaching the pinnacle of swordsmanship. It is too boring to rely on other people's guidance."

"Now I look back and think about it carefully—the reason why I turned around and forgot the phrase 'one is all, all is one', there is a considerable part of the reason, probably because I don't want to rely on other people's guidance to achieve the highest. The paranoid character of Zhijing' is at work."

Since just now, Ogata has been carefully listening to and digesting every word and every sentence that Fumo said just now.

He had been looking forward to hearing the introduction about "one is all, all is one" from Feng Mo just now.

But unexpectedly things backfired, and Feng Mo didn't know what this sentence meant.

I hoped to clear up my doubts after talking with Yuan Yi and Feng Mo, but unexpectedly, my doubts were not only unresolved, but became more.

"Ahh..." Ogata, with an uncontrollable expression on his face, sighed lightly, and turned his gaze to Yuan Yi, "Master Yuan, haven't you experienced similar things?"

"No." Yuan Yi shook his head directly, "I've never tried to talk to myself before."

Having said that, Yuan Yi put on a happy smile, and then continued:

"Ogata-kun, you really surprise me every time."

"Before you know it, you seem to have reached a realm that I have never reached."

"It's really scary for young people!"

"In terms of swordsmanship, I'm still far behind. There's still a lot of room for improvement!"

In Yuan Yi's words, there was no negative tone of yin and yang.

In the tone and intonation, there is only the purest joy.

Especially when he said "I am still far behind", Genichi showed a very pure smile like a simple child.

Seeing Genichi's smiling face, Ogata couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

"Whether I have reached a new level or not is still uncertain." Ogata sighed softly, "Maybe after tonight, I will never be able to meet another 'me' again."

"It's good to let nature take its course." Yuan Yi waved his hand, "Maybe it won't be long before you can meet 'him' again."

"If you have to meet 'him' again when you are on the verge of death like tonight, then I hope that I will never meet 'him' again for the rest of my life."

After saying this in a half-joking tone, Ogata bowed solemnly to Fuma.

"Master Feng Mo, I am very grateful. Thanks to you, I am no longer clueless as to why I can see another 'me'."

Before Feng Mo could reply, Yuan Yi smiled and answered for Feng Mo:

"Ganshi's 'one is all, all is one', you can just use it as a reference."

"After all, the value of this sentence is still open to debate."

"There are quite a lot of riddles that are completely unclear and feel like they are completely nonsense."

"I remember that Gan Shi seemed to tell me another riddle that has been passed down from generation to generation in their Wind Demon, what is it called 'controlling the thunder'?"

"'Only when you have reached the supreme realm can you control the thunder and use the method of lightning strikes'." Feng Mo answered silently, "This sentence is also passed down from generation to generation in our Feng Mo Land."

"Controlling the thunder, the method of lightning strikes?" Ogata's expression gradually became weird, "This...is it completely nonsense?"

This sentence is the same as the sentence "one is all, all is one" just now, every word is familiar, but when put together, the whole sentence is very confusing...

"Although I don't want to admit it, I still have to agree—what Yuan Yi said just now is correct." Fumo sighed, while raising his hand to touch the forehead that had been reflecting the moonlight. If it is passed down from generation to generation, its content does feel like nonsense, and its value and correctness are open to question."

"So brother Ogata, you can just take what I just said as a reference."

Ogata nodded, and when he was about to say "I see"—

"Ayi, what are you doing? I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

A-Machi's voice came from behind him and A-Machi's footsteps that he was already familiar with.

"Ah, that's bad..." Ogata took a deep breath, then quickly turned his head to follow the sound, and saw A-Ming standing behind him with his hands on his hips, casting displeased glances at him .

At this moment, Ogata finally remembered - he came to fetch water for A-cho...

"I'm sorry... because I met Master Yuan and Master Fumo in the courtyard, I couldn't help but chat with them about martial arts."

"I thought you passed out on the road..." A-cho's eyes flickered with depression.

Although the depression in A-Machi's eyes only flickered for a moment, it was still keenly captured by Ogata.

"...A-Machi, don't worry." Ogata tried his best to show a soft smile to A-Machi, "I'll be fine. Just stand there and wait a while, I'll get the water ready right away."

Ah-Ming: "Hmm..."

Ogata lowered his voice and said in a low voice to Genichi and Fuma next to him:

"Master Yuan, Master Fuma, A-Ming is still waiting for me, so I'll go first. Let's talk in detail later when we have a chance."

After finishing speaking, Ogata threw the bucket that he had been holding in his hand just now into the nearby well.

When Ogata was concentrating on fetching water, Genichi looked at Ogata meaningfully, and then looked at Atachi who was standing not far away.

"...Ogata-kun." Genichi whispered in a low voice that only he, Ogata, and Fuma could hear clearly, "Although you seem to be in good condition now, I still want to ask—— After absorbing the 'power of immortality', your body didn't feel any discomfort, right?"

"Ha..." Ogata smiled wryly, "Machi just asked me the exact same question... Don't worry, I'm fine. Except that my physical fitness and resilience have become much better than before, everything remains the same."

"That's good... You should take care of Ms. A-machi in the future." Genichi raised his eyes again and glanced at A-machi who was quietly waiting for Ogata to fetch water, "My husband has absorbed the unknown source' Immortality', I don’t know if there will be sequelae or other messy things in the future... Even if Ms. A-Ming doesn’t say anything, I can vaguely guess that she must be very worried about what accidents will happen to you in the future.”

"You should have noticed too, right? Ms. Machi's current mood."

"...Who do you think I am? I am the husband of Ogata Town."

...

...

After fetching the water, Ogata walked back to the place where the two of them were just now, side by side with Ah-Machi.

"Help me wet this cloth and wring it dry." A-Ming sat cross-legged on the ground, and picked up the barrel of Kasumi's gun that had been removed.

"Okay." Ogata knelt down beside A-Ming, and according to A-Ming's instructions, threw the white cloth that A-Ming had just handed him into the bucket to wet, then collected it and wrung it dry.

"Speaking of which--I haven't thanked you yet." Ogata handed the white cloth wrung out to A-Machi, "Thank you for sending me the knife in time again."

After finishing speaking, Ogata glanced at Da Shitian and Da Zizai hanging on his left waist.

"One year ago, when I was in Butterfly Island, a similar scene happened. You showed up in time with Da Shitian and Da Zizai, and brought me a knife."

"It's thanks to our good luck." A-Ming smiled slightly, "I found your sword in the enemy's place when attacking Longshui Temple."

"It's also thanks to that Chuguang who told me where you were at that time."

"At that time, when I heard Chuguang say that you were in the northwest of Osaka, my mind buzzed and everything went blank."

"At first, I couldn't believe Chuguang's words."

"But after I heard Chuguang tell me with certainty that there is an army gathering towards the northwest of Osaka, so I simply treated the dead horse as a living horse doctor. After discussing with Mr. Yuan and the others, I decided to use Genda-sama, Mamiya, and Mucun, who are still in relatively good condition, and I came to look for you."

"Ah, I have to thank Mamiya."

"I was in a hurry to go to the northwest of Osaka immediately, and I forgot to take your knife. It was Mamiya who reminded me that I remembered that you didn't take your knife."

"Ha, then, from this point of view, I have to make a special trip to thank Xia Chuguang and Mamiya later. There are so many people to thank tonight..." After finishing speaking, Ogata slowly changed into a serious tone , "A-Ding, Master Yuyi... I was implicated..."

"I'm really sorry for him... He helped me repair the knife so perfectly, but I don't even have the chance to thank him in person..."

"A-cho, can you go with me to bury Master Yuyi properly?"

Ogata, who already knew what happened to Atachi, Genichi and others tonight, naturally also knew that Yuichi, who helped him repair the knife, was implicated by him and suffered an indiscriminate disaster.

"Hmm..." A-Ming nodded lightly, "Of course, that's what I mean too."

Afterwards, both of them were silent.

A-cho concentrates on cleaning up his Kasumi and Ume-ran for Ogata.

And Ogata also sat silently by the side, helping A-Ming.

Between the two, there was a peaceful atmosphere that only an old couple like them could have.

Ah-Machi was quick at cleaning guns.

In just a short while, Kasumi and Umeran became brand new under the skillful hands of Ah Ding.

"Okay." The corners of Ah-Ming's upturned mouth were slightly satisfied, "Here, take it. Remember to pay more attention next time and don't let them fall into the water again. If you frequently fall into the water, use Life expectancy will be greatly shortened."

"Oh, it was repaired so quickly." Ogata played with the restored Kasumagi and Umeran, "As expected of Machi...it's as good as new."

"I'm tired of hearing this kind of flattery." A-Machi rolled his eyes at Ogata, "When you ask me to do your laundry for you, you always fool me with the phrase 'As expected of A-Machi'..."

After Ogata laughed a few times in embarrassment, he silently took Kasumi and Meiran back into his arms.

"I'm not flattering, I'm telling the truth... cough, cough cough."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Fang suddenly coughed.

As soon as the cough sounded, Ah-Ming's expression changed immediately, and he approached Ogata with a nervous look.

"What's wrong? Is there any discomfort?"

"I'm fine." Ogata cleared his throat, "It's just that I accidentally inhaled a few relatively large dust just now."

"That's it... that's good..." Ah-Ming breathed out as if he was relieved.

Ogata had been silently observing Ah-Machi's expression just now.

Seeing Ah-Ming reacting so violently to his little cough, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

"...Machi."

"Huh? Why... huh?"

Machi looked in surprise... Ogata who suddenly hugged her hands.

Atachi, who is only 155cm tall, has very small hands.

Ogata's pair of big hands easily encircled A-Machi's pair of small hands.

Before A-machi could ask Ogata what he was going to do, he heard Ogata say softly:

"I'm sorry... Machi, I made you so uneasy."

With just one sentence, Obi stunned A-Ming.

"I kept telling you like this: I'll be fine, and you shouldn't feel at ease either."

"After all, the 'power of immortality' I got came from the monsters on the Butterfly Island, not from strange pieces of meat like Toyotomi Nobuhide and Yoshiemon."

"Whether there will be any special sequelae after digesting such an 'undead power' in the future—maybe no one in the whole world can answer this question."

[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who has known me for ten years, Mimi Reading! It’s really easy to use. I use this to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here 】

"I can understand your unease."

After saying this, I saw Ah Ding's lips tightened a little, and the eye sockets gradually turned red.

"I don't know what else I can say to you to make you feel at ease under the current situation."

"I can only assure you—no matter what happens in the future, I will do my best to live a good life."

"Your guarantee can't make me feel at ease..."

Although A-Machi said so, after hearing Ogata's promise just now, a smile appeared on her cheek, showing a strange expression of both smile and depression.

"...I'm so scared." After turning his tears into a smile, A-Ming slowly pursed his lips again, and lowered his head, "I'm so scared...will the 'power of immortality' in your body be there? What side effects... I'm so afraid that I'll wake up one morning and see that you're not breathing..."

Ogata's words made Ogata feel both funny and moved.

These are words that only those who care about him and sincerely hope that he will be safe can say it.

He quietly tightened the palms of the pair of small hands that were holding Ah-Ming.

Let Ah Ding feel the temperature of his palm more clearly.

"Brother Ogata! Miss Atachi!"

At this moment, Mucun's shout suddenly sounded from a distance.

"The man among the two captives we caught before is finally willing to speak out!"
