Chapter 348 The breath of the master-level source!
Ogata opened the door of the room that Omachi and Rin were borrowing.
As soon as he opened the door, a strong feeling of heat rushed towards his face.
After opening the door, the first thing Ogata saw was a simple stove made of stone and iron.
There was a blazing flame burning in the stove. A-Machi was standing next to the stove, adding firewood to the stove, and seemed to be warming up the stove.
In the past 10 days, Amachi has been busy.
After borrowing this room from Rinna, Atachi spent most of the day in this room, making projectiles specifically for Sozakura and Kasumi Nagi, as well as making her new weapons.
"Huh? Ayi, why are you here?"
Seeing Ogata coming, A-Machi quickly stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look at Ogata, and asked Ogata.
"Miss Kinoshita is here." Ogata said as he walked slowly to Amachi's side.
Picking up the handkerchief placed aside, she wiped the sweat from A-Machi's face and continued to say to A-Machi:
"She asked us to go to the Buddhist temple right away."
"Since Ms. Kinoshita is back, it means...she should have prepared the ship for Edo, right?" Amachi asked.
"Yeah. It should be. Anyway - let's go to the Buddhist temple quickly."
"Okay. Ayi, come and help me put out this stove."
…
…
After working together with Atachi to extinguish the stove, Ogata and Atachi hurried towards the Buddhist hall located in the center of the temple.
As soon as he arrived at the Buddhist hall, Obori saw that everyone in the Calabash House except Shimada had already arrived, leaving only him and Omachi.
Lin, whom I hadn't seen for 10 days, was sitting at the front of everyone.
At this time, Lin could be described as dusty. Both her face and the clothes on her body were covered with dust, and her face also had a faint look of exhaustion.
Not long after Ogata and Omachi arrived, Shimada, who had arrived late, finally entered the Buddhist hall.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lin cleared her throat and went straight to the point without making any greetings:
"I have prepared the ship for Edo."
"We'll leave in the afternoon."
"Leaving in the afternoon?" Shimada was the first to exclaim.
"That's right." Lin nodded, "Soldiers are valuable and quick."
Speaking of this, Lin paused.
After carefully scanning Shimada up and down, Lin frowned slightly:
"Shimada, why do you have so many bruises on your body?"
"I have been practicing sword practice with Ogata-sama these days!" Shimada replied immediately.
"Is that so..." After learning that the bruises on Shimada's body were all caused by sword practice, Lin's slightly wrinkled brows relaxed, and then continued to talk about the business:
"There is still one hour until noon."
"This should be enough time to pack your bags."
"Remember not to bring too much luggage."
"That's all I have to say."
"Everyone, go pack your bags."
After saying that, Lin took the lead in picking up the saber placed aside, stood up and walked towards the outside of the Buddhist hall.
…
…
Ogata and Atachi were not in a hurry to pack their luggage.
After all, both of them don't have much luggage.
Rather, it would be better to say that the two of them were almost as if they had no luggage. It only took two or three times to pack their respective luggage.
The two of them were not in a hurry to pack their luggage, but instead headed to the weapon-making room that Atachi borrowed from Rinna, intending to clean up the room first.
Ogata and Atachi did not forget that they borrowed this room.
Ogata and Atachi couldn't do such a thing as leaving a borrowed room in a mess and then not cleaning it up.
When Ogata and Atachi were walking together on the way back to the "weapons room", Atachi suddenly reached into his arms and took out a small cloth bag, and then handed the small cloth bag to Ogata.
"What is this?" Ogata asked as he took the small cloth bag from Amachi.
"Projectiles specially designed for Sozakura and Kasumi Nagi." Amachi said, "It is very troublesome to make special projectiles for Sozakura and Kasumi Nagi. In addition, because there are no tools at hand, the time is too short, so the projectiles are not finished.
It’s not much. You should use it sparingly.”
"Can I open it and take a look?"
"Um."
After obtaining Amachi's permission, Ogata opened the small cloth bag and looked inside.
What is contained inside is indeed the kind of cylindrical projectile used exclusively by Sozakura and Kasumagagi.
After a rough count, there were 16 in total.
After putting the cloth bag away, Ogata couldn't help but said to Amachi in a half-joking tone:
"Speaking of which... I feel like I have already taken Kasumi Nagi as my own..."
After A-machi lent Kasumi Nagi to Ogata, Ogata never returned Kasumi Nagi to A-machi.
It wasn't that Ogata refused to return it, Ogata had already mentioned the matter of "returning Kasumi Nagi" to Atachi when he was still recovering from his injuries at Fuuma's home.
But Omachi said: It's okay, Kasumi Nagi, just keep holding it. Anyway, a handful of plain sakura is enough for me.
Atachi smiled at Ogata's joke:
"You have to take good care of Kasumi Nagi for me. If I find out that you don't take good care of it..."
Atachi did not finish the sentence completely, leaving Ogata to freely imagine what the second half of the sentence would be like.
"It's so stressful... I'd better give Kasumi Nagi back to you." Ogata's tone was full of joking.
"Hold it carefully!" And there was a hint of joking in A-Machi's annoyed tone.
…
…
Opening the door and looking at the extinguished stove made of stone and iron in the room, Ogata turned his head and asked Atachi:
"By the way, didn't you say that in addition to making special projectiles for Sosakura and Kasumi Nagi these days, you also want to make new weapons? Have you finished making your new weapons?"
"Oh, new weapon. It's done."
After that, A-Machi walked slowly towards the stove, and then took out two knives and a cloth bag containing something unknown from a small wooden box placed next to the stove.
Those two swords are a wakizashi and a kaikan.
These two knives were bought by Ogata from a pawn shop in a certain castle town when Ogata and Omachi took Rin and others to Owari.
This is Japan at the end of the 18th century.
In this era when the samurai class is declining day by day, the most indispensable thing in pawn shops is the swords sold by down-and-out samurai.
The reason why Ogata wanted to buy A-Machi a knife was purely so that A-Machi could have a better self-defense weapon.
At that time, Ogata couldn't stand the sight of how little and crude the equipment A-Machi had on him.
There was only one mosakura in his body, and seven kunai that escaped from the body of Ryutaro (the guy who led three ninjas to hunt down Atachi, but was defeated by him with the mosakura).
In that pawn shop, Ogata picked out the best quality wakizashi and kaikai swords and presented them to Omachi.
Ogata originally wanted to buy another katana for Atachi, but Amachi said that she was not good at using katana, so she had no choice but to give up.
Looking at the two knives he gave to Ah-Machi and the small cloth bag in his hands, Ogata couldn't help but ask:
"Is this the new weapon you made?"
"What's inside this cloth bag is my new weapon. And these two knives have been modified by me."
Atachi unsheathed the wakizashi and kaikai swords.
After the blades were unsheathed, Ogata discovered that the blades of the two swords were painted black.
"I painted the blades black to make it easier for me to move at night." As Machi said, he turned the two knives upside down, "I mainly modified the handles."
"I wrapped a black cloth strip around the handle of the knife. In addition to being used to stop bleeding and bandage when injured, this black cloth strip can also be used to recover the wakizashi when using it to climb somewhere."
Hearing this, Ogata nodded.
He still remembered that when he was on Butterfly Island, Atachi demonstrated one of the uses of the cloth wrapped around the handle of the knife.
Insert the wakizashi into a tall wooden wall, use the wakizashi inserted into the wall as a step to climb up the wall, and then use the cloth strip wrapped around the handle of the knife to retrieve the wakizashi.
After introducing the cloth strips wrapped around the handles of the knives, Atachi raised his hand and pressed the bottom of the handles of the two knives, then pulled up and pulled the bottoms of the handles away.
"I transformed the bottoms of the handles of these two knives into shapes that can be opened. Then I made the handles hollow and filled them with medicinal powder."
Ogata looked in along the bottom that had been pulled out by A-Machi, and found that the inside of the handle had really been hollowed out by A-Machi, and then filled with medicinal powder with a strong medicinal smell.
"The wakizashi contains medicine to stop bleeding. The kaijian contains medicine to treat bruises."
These medicines were also bought by Ogata and Omachi when they hitched a ride with Rin and the others to Owari.
“This kind of hollow knife handle can also be used for diving. When you need to dive into the water, you can pull out the knife handle to use it as a tube, bite one end in your mouth, and let the other end come out of the water, so that you can swim in the water.
It’s breathing inside.”
After introducing the two wakizashi and kaiken to Ogata, which she had transformed into "multi-functional weapons", Amachi began to introduce the gadgets contained in the small cloth bag.
What was contained in the cloth bag were black, iron rhombus-shaped objects.
"This thing is called 'Sa Ling'. It is probably one of the most commonly used weapons by our ninjas."
"When you are escaping, spreading this stuff on the road can very effectively prevent the enemy from pursuing you."
"If you step on this thing, your feet will be injured and you will be unable to walk, or your feet will be completely destroyed."
"When we were in Kyoto, if we had this Saling, it would be much easier for us to evade the pursuit of the officials in Kyoto."
"If you carry poison on your body, you can apply poison on it to make it more lethal."
After listening to Omachi's introduction quietly, Ogata couldn't help but said in a helpless tone:
"I thought the new weapon you were talking about was building a long iron cannon like the one used on Butterfly Island."
"That kind of long iron cannon is very difficult to make." A-Machi smiled bitterly, "I lack special tools here, so I can't make that kind of long iron cannon."
Speaking of this, A-Machi paused as if he remembered something.
Then he muttered softly:
"I actually have a total of 2 of those long iron cannons you just mentioned."
"One of them was left at home in Shiranui."
"The other one was taken to Butterfly Island by me, and then it was damaged by the demon monk."
"I wonder what happened to the long iron cannon I left at home..."
"After I defected to Shiranui, my long iron cannon must have been taken away along with other things in my home..."
"What a pity..."
After saying that, A-Machi let out a long sigh.
…
…
After working with Atachi to clean up the room, Ogata returned to his room and began to pack his luggage.
Ogata's carry-on luggage is very small, and his luggage mainly consists of 3 items: his 2 sabers, some of his clothes, and his money bag.
These three items, plus a homemade kettle and other items, are all Ogata's luggage.
After quickly finishing his luggage and neatly stacking his bedding, Ogata, who didn't know what to do anymore, simply sat on the cabinet that he used as a bed and opened his personal system interface.
View your current personal status.
Looking at this personal interface, which looked much better than 10 days ago, a smile of satisfaction appeared on Ogata's face involuntarily.
In terms of results, Ogata has achieved great results in the past 10 days.
If there were so many achievements, which one Ogata was most satisfied with, it would undoubtedly be "successfully improving the Breath of the Source to the 'Grand Master Level'".
To upgrade a certain skill from "Master Level" to "Grand Master Level", the required skill points are a terrifying 8 points.
Fortunately - 10 days ago, Ogata's level of Wuga Two Swordsman style had reached the 9th level, and he only had a little over 2,000 experience points left before reaching the 10th level.
After reaching the 10th stage of the Wuwo-Douji style, Ogata can obtain 6 exclusive skill points in addition to the regular 2 skill points.
During the discussion with Shimada, after successfully upgrading the level of the Wuwo Swordsman style to the 10th level, Ogata immediately used these 6 exclusive skill points and 2 skill points to improve the source of breathing, and successfully used the source of the breath.
Breathing has been upgraded to the highest level - "Grandmaster Level".
After Ogata clicks on the small question mark behind the Breath of Source item in the personal system interface, the effects of Breath of Source after reaching the highest level are displayed:
[Use the breath of the source to enter the realm of selflessness]
The effect of Breath of Origin that has been upgraded to the "Grand Master Level" can only be introduced in one very brief sentence.
But this simple sentence was enough to make Ogata feel excited.
Just as Ogata had guessed before.
When he upgraded the Breath of the Source to the "Master Level" before, Ogata was thinking: The Breath of the Source at the "Master Level" can automatically enter the "no-self state" by maintaining the Breath of the Source for about 10 minutes. So, what is the highest level?
Is the "Grandmaster Level" Source Breath the state that Source One has reached so far - being able to freely enter the "selfless state"?
At present, it seems that this is indeed the case.
Now as long as you use "Breath of Source", you can automatically enter the state of "selflessness".
Ogata's biggest trump card that can compete with Shiranui's "Yaksha Realm" is finally fully formed.
