[Current personal level: Sakakihara One-sword style level: Wuga two-sword level: After a while, the disciples of Qianxuekan finally reacted one after another.
The waves rushed towards Mizuno, who had already passed out.
"Master! Master, are you okay?!"
"Hurry! Hurry and pinch Master's man!"
"Hey! You two, go and call the doctor!"
…
Ogata's horizontal slash just now had already reduced its force and did not kill Mizuno with one blow.
But the damage caused to Mizuno was not light at all.
Mizuno's teeth seemed to have been knocked out by Ogata, and his mouth was full of blood, which looked very scary.
Because Mizuno's appearance was so scary, several disciples even subconsciously put their fingers under the tip of Mizuno's nose to see if Mizuno was still breathing.
When they felt the warm breath spraying on their fingers, the few people who went to explore Mizuno's breathing took a breath.
While the disciples were busy taking care of their master, they did not forget to find the person who knocked out their master to settle the score.
"Hey! Where is the man wearing the Tengu mask just now?"
"You were here just now...!"
"He escaped!"
…
It's a pity - when they rushed over to check Mizuno's details with anxious faces, Ogata had already taken advantage of the chaos and dragged Omachi away...
…
…
Ogata took advantage of the chaos and pulled Omachi out of Senxakukan.
As they moved away from Qianxue Hall step by step, the pace of the two became faster and faster.
When the two came back to their senses, they found that they were already running away.
It's not that I'm afraid that the disciples from Qianxueguan will catch up and take revenge on them.
Ogata and Omachi couldn't help but run away, probably because they were excited and happy. A happy mood welled up in their hearts.
He personally taught the guy who dared to slander Sakakibara's Itto-ryu, a swordsmanship that has special meaning to Ogata, which made Ogata feel particularly happy.
Atachi was also particularly happy when he saw Mizuno, a charlatan, being beaten up.
"Ayi, well done."
"Thanks for the compliment."
"I hate this kind of charlatan the most."
"What a coincidence, so am I."
A-Machi was wearing clogs, and even though they were flat-soled, they were not a pair of shoes suitable for running.
Moreover, when he was playing with A-Machi just now, Ogata heard A-Machi say more than once that she couldn't get used to wearing these kind of clogs.
So after running all the way to the downtown area, Ouri slowly slowed down.
"Okay..." Ating stretched hard, "We've seen the fun, let's get on with the business."
"Um."
After Ogata nodded, he casually called a passerby who happened to be passing by him and asked him where the nearest pharmacy was.
After some inquiries, Ogata and Omachi were surprised to find that the nearest pharmacy was quite close to them, and it only took a short walk to get there.
Just when Ogata and Atachi were about to set off towards the pharmacy, an anxious shout suddenly sounded from behind them:
"Samurai-sama! Wait!"
Ogata followed the sound and looked back.
After moving his gaze to the source of the sound, Ogata couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
The owner of this voice was none other than the strong man who kept questioning Mizuno's level in the Sengakukan just now.
The strong man held the knife at his waist and ran in front of Ogata and Atachi in one breath.
"Excuse me, is something wrong?" Ogata asked softly.
The strong man straightened his back, smoothed out his breathing that was somewhat disordered due to running wildly in pursuit of Ogata, and said seriously:
"I am a member of the Toe River - Kondo Uchizosuke! I wonder who your name is?"
"...Just call me Tengu." Ogata raised his hand and poked the long nose of the Tengu mask on his face.
Seeing that Ogata was unwilling to tell his real name, Kondo did not hesitate to force Ogata.
After briefly introducing himself to Ogata, Kondo said excitedly:
"Lord Tengu, your heroic demeanor in knocking down Mizuno Shinyong with one sword just now made me admire you greatly!"
"A person who can wield such a sharp sword is definitely not an ordinary person!"
"I was originally disappointed in Kyoto, but now it seems that there are indeed experts in Kyoto!"
"You're flattered." Ogata smiled slightly.
"To be honest." Kondo smiled bitterly, "I left my hometown and went to Kyoto this time in order to compete with the masters, to understand where I still have shortcomings, and to see clearly what I have created.
Whether swordsmanship has considerable practicality and power."
"Create your own swordsmanship?" Ogata asked rhetorically.
"The swordsmanship I originally practiced was the Katori Shinto style. About last year, I added my own understanding to the Katori Shinto style and created a brand new swordsmanship."
"It's just that I haven't given a name to my homemade swordsmanship yet."
"Kyoto is our country's thousand-year-old capital. I thought it must be a land of crouching tigers, hidden dragons. But I didn't expect it to be a rotten land full of scammers."
Speaking of this, a look of intense disdain appeared on Kondo's face.
"I came to Kyoto 2 months ago."
"In the past two months, I have visited all the sword halls in Kyoto."
"Among the six major sword halls, except for the metaphysics master who teaches the Nakajo style and is somewhat capable, the other five major sword masters are just a bunch of liars."
"With their level, they don't have the strength to open a sword hall and teach people how to practice swordsmanship."
"And I've long been tired of seeing their tricks to deceive people."
"Buy some people in advance, defeat them in public, and deceive those who don't know much about swordsmanship."
"The Mizuno Shinyong just now is the best example."
"These scammers also have a favorite tactic, which is to make up a decent story and say that they have defeated so-and-so."
"When these scammers make up these stories, their favorite targets are criminals who have been caught and imprisoned."
"Because those people are already in jail, no one will come to seek revenge after hearing this story that vilifies them, so you can make it up and tell it with confidence."
"That Mizuno Shinyong must have heard from somewhere that Ogata Ittousai had been arrested by the government, so he made up a story that he defeated Ogata Ittousai."
"The certificate of appreciation issued by the government that he just took out must have been bought from the government with money. This was used to increase the credibility of the story he made up."
"Nowadays, as long as you are willing to pay, you can buy anything."
"How can he be an opponent of Ogata Ittousai who is capable of one against a hundred at his level?"
"How could I chop down Ogata Ittosai to the ground with just one sword? It's really hilarious."
"He was chopped down to the ground by Ogata Ittousai."
Hearing Kondo's words, Ogata and Atachi couldn't help but smile.
After smiling, Ating asked:
"If they are just a bunch of liars, then after so many years, has no one exposed them?"
"How not?"
Kondo shrugged and smiled bitterly.
"A large part of the reason why these scammers can continue to deceive like this is because they have been colluding with the government."
"The government protects them, they cheat and make money, and then hand over part of the money to the government."
"The six major sword halls also look after each other. The forces of the six major sword halls have long been entangled in Kyoto. It is not that easy to shake them."
After listening to Kondo's words quietly, Ogata nodded gently:
"It seems...not only the government in Kyoto has become corrupt, but also the martial arts has deteriorated."
"That's how the world is." Kondo's face showed a bit of sadness at this time, "Once the world goes bad, no matter what it is, it will quickly start to corrupt."
"The way of the world today is to laugh at the poor but not at the prostitutes."
"Whether it's warriors or ordinary people, they are all pursuing money now."
"Under the influence of this trend, there are fewer and fewer decent warriors."
"The number of decent samurai is decreasing, and the number of decent sword halls will also continue to decrease."
"Samurais from poor families are trapped in life, while samurai from good families are addicted to pleasure. Fewer and fewer people will seriously study swordsmanship."
"There is another very important reason why the Six Major Sword Halls have been able to deceive people till now - very few people can see that these hall owners have no real ability."
"If this continues, I'm afraid the samurai... and the swords in our hands will disappear..."
After uttering such a sentiment that was full of sadness, Kondo took several deep breaths to adjust his emotions.
After adjusting his emotions, Kondo said to Ogata in a somewhat apologetic tone:
"...I'm sorry, what I just said seemed a bit too heavy."
"It's okay." Ogata waved his hand.
"Lord Tengu, the reason why I came after you is just for one thing."
The look on Kondo's face was extremely serious at this time.
"I want to ask you for advice!"
"Oh?" Ogata raised his eyebrows.
"I came to Kyoto to experience myself."
“I’ve been in Kyoto for more than two months, and it’s only now that I finally found a master like you!”
Kondo's eyes were filled with fighting spirit at this time.
"Please give me some guidance!"
"Sorry. I still have things to do now. I don't have time." Ogata said without thinking.
"Then when you have time, can you come and compete with me?" Kondo said anxiously, "I really want to compete with you!"
Ogata looked at Kondo helplessly and sighed softly.
"...Tell me the address of your hotel."
"When I have time and am in the mood, I will go find you where you live."
"But I have to say something ugly first - whether I will go to you or not depends on whether I have the mood and time."
"I may go looking for you, or I may not go looking for you. Please be mentally prepared to wait for several days without being able to wait for me."
"No problem!" Kondo responded.
Kondo quickly reported an address to Ogata, and Ogata also silently remembered the address Kondo reported in his heart. Kondo bowed vigorously to Ogata and Ogata, and then walked quickly from the second
Leave within the person's field of vision.
After Kondo left, Atachi turned his head and asked Ogata:
"Are you really going to spar with that person?"
"If I have time later and am in a good mood, I wouldn't mind actually competing with him." Ogata smiled bitterly, "But I won't let him wait there all the time. If I don't want to fight with him,
During the competition, I will also go to the hotel where he is staying and talk to him."
"Okay, let's go, Ating. Let's get down to our business quickly."
…
…
After entering the fourth pharmacy of the day, the warm "Welcome" from the clerk sitting behind the counter immediately reached the ears of Ogata and Atachi.

Amachi thought it was too boring to wait outside, so he followed Ogata into the pharmacy this time.
"Excuse me, do you recognize the handwriting above?"
Ogata took out the two prescriptions and handed them to the clerk standing behind the counter.
"Huh? Oh...! This is Master Xuanzheng's calligraphy."
"Sure enough, I don't even recognize the people in this pharmacy... Wait! Do you recognize him?!" Ogata said anxiously.
"Of course I recognize it." The clerk nodded, "Our store is close to the clinic run by Master Xuanzheng and his disciples, so patients who have been treated by Master Xuanzheng and his disciples often come here with prescriptions.
Get the medicine."
"I have read the prescription written by Master Xuanzheng countless times, so I will not admit it wrong."
"Xuanzheng-sama and his disciples? Excuse me - how many disciples does Xuanzheng have?" Ogata continued to ask.
"There are two. The eldest disciple Xuan Zhi, and the youngest disciple Xuan Ren."
Finally, he found someone who recognized the handwriting. At the same time, Xuanzheng also had a disciple as Ogata knew, which made Ogata's face uncontrollably filled with excitement.
"Excuse me, where is Xuanzheng's medical clinic?"
"If you want to find Mr. Xuanzheng, then I don't think you need to go to their medical clinic." The pharmacy clerk smiled bitterly, "Sir Xuanzheng and his eldest disciple Xuanzhi left Kyoto a long time ago.
"
"It's been so long that I can't even remember when they left Kyoto."
"After the two of them left Kyoto, only their young apprentice Xuanren remained in Kyoto."
"But half a month ago, Xuanren accidentally prescribed the wrong medicine and killed someone. He is now imprisoned in Kyoto."
"Even if you go to the medical clinic of Xuan Zheng and his disciples now, the building will definitely be empty."
Ogata's current mood...is a bit like riding a roller coaster.
It just reached its highest point.
Now it has suddenly fallen to the lowest point.
…
…
Although he had already learned from the clerk that Xuanzheng's and his apprentice's medical clinic was no longer occupied, Ogata still had an attitude of not giving up and took A-Machi to visit Xuanzheng's medical clinic in person.
Xuanzheng's medical clinic is located in a relatively remote place, and there are not many people around.
The door of the medical center was locked, and the area near the door was covered with dust—it was obvious that no one had taken care of it for a while.
