Chapter 695 Only when you reach the supreme realm can you control the thunder and use the lightning strike method [5800]
If Ogata hadn't personally experienced such a thing, talking to another self in a space that was nothing like a dream and extremely real, he would have thought that such a thing was simply a fantasy.
The scene where he met another "self" and had a conversation with him... Ogata felt that he would never forget it forever.
Based on the information Hatsuko revealed just now, Ogata deduced that at that time, he should have been almost unable to withstand the erosion of the "immortal poison"...or the "power of immortality".
At that time, he had already passed out due to the erosion of the "power of immortality".
If...if he hadn't woken up at that time, he would have died suddenly like those of Toyotomi Nobhide's cronies who did not survive the erosion of the "power of immortality" mentioned by Hatsumi.
Just when he had passed out and was about to close his eyes forever, another "self" suddenly appeared.
"He" took Ogata through the past scenes, allowing Ogata to rekindle his fighting spirit and determination, as well as his consciousness that was about to dissipate, and reopen his eyes that had been closed by the "power of immortality"...
It can be said that without "his" help, Ogata would most likely not have been able to complete the final digestion of the "power of immortality".
"That person"... seemed to have appeared at that moment specifically to help Ogata and "wake up" Ogata.
Who is "that person"? This question has been lingering in Ogata's mind since he woke up.
If there is anyone who is most likely to know the answer to this question... then it is naturally the well-informed Yuan Yi and Feng Mo.
Therefore, Ogata decided to take advantage of this great opportunity, when both Genichi and Fuma happened to be present, and there were no other irrelevant outsiders, to ask them this question.
Unexpectedly, before he could explain in detail the cause and effect of his question, he heard an unexpected answer from Feng Mo.
"One is the whole, and the whole is one?" Hearing this sentence that he had never heard before, Ogata couldn't help but be startled.
Yuan Yi raised his eyebrows at this moment.
"One is whole, all is one... Why does this sentence sound familiar..."
"Because I have told you before." Feng Mo glanced at Yuan Yi angrily, "I remember it very clearly. It was probably more than forty years ago. When we first traveled together, I mentioned this Let me tell you a saying that has been passed down from generation to generation in our Fengmo community."
"Then you said to me: 'Why do the ancients always like to come up with such riddles that they have no idea what they mean or what they are called?'"
"Oh, I remember." Yuan Yi patted his forehead, "A long time ago, when we were still very young, you did tell me this sentence, because I had no idea what this sentence meant. What did it mean, so I turned around and forgot about it."
"At first, when I heard you say that this famous saying passed down from generation to generation in our Fuma Village was an incomprehensible riddle, I was still very angry. But after thinking about it later, I found that you didn't seem to be wrong. This sentence is indeed true. It’s a puzzling riddle.”
After briefly chatting and laughing with Genichi, Fuma turned his serious gaze on Ogata.
"Brother Ogata, since you can ask such a question, wouldn't you...have you tried talking to yourself?"
"...This is what happened." Ogata told Genichi and Fuuma everything he had encountered in a deep voice.
From how he met another "self", he carefully talked about how he finally woke up when the other "self" shouted "draw the sword".
The two listeners, Yuan Yi and Feng Mo, became more and more serious as they listened.
After finally telling the cause and effect of the incident, Ogata quickly asked:
"Lord Feng Mo, what does the saying 'one is whole, whole is one' mean? Have you ever experienced something similar?"
"I have never experienced anything like this." Feng Mo raised his hand and scratched his shiny scalp, "Where should I start..."
Feng Mo raised his head slightly, thinking.
Ogata didn't push him, and let Fuma slowly think and organize his words.
Fuma didn't keep Ogata waiting long.
After only half a moment, Feng Mo opened his lips and said slowly:
"In our community of Feng Mo, 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 it can one achieve the supreme state of a warrior: one is whole, and all is one."
"Who said this sentence and why it was circulated among our Feng Mo people is completely unexplainable."
"Although this sentence has been circulated among us in Feng Mo, no one knows what it means."
“I have tried to study the meaning of this sentence, trying to figure out what it means to be recognized by and talk to another self and ‘one is whole, 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 I only found a passage in the "Five Teachings of Huayan" of the Huayan Sect of Buddhism that seemed to be related to 'One is the whole, the whole is one', 'All dharmas are the gate of freedom'
, All the above meanings are one and all, everything is one, they are perfect and free, without hindrance, and if they are in the same body, they are self-sufficient and capable of absorbing all dharmas."
"You should also know what the Buddhist scriptures are. The Buddhist scriptures are just a collection of riddles."
"This passage in "The Five Teachings of Huayan" is even more difficult to understand than the famous saying in our Feng Mo Zhili, so it has no reference significance at all."
"Looking through the classics has no results, and asking people everywhere has no results either."
“No one knows what it means to be recognized by and talk to another self and ‘one is whole, all is one’.”
“When I mentioned this sentence to Yuan Yi, he was scolded by Yuan Yi as ‘a riddle that I don’t know’.”
"I'm not wrong." Yuan interrupted abruptly, "This sentence is indeed an incomprehensible riddle, without even an explanation. So I turned around and completely forgot about this sentence.
"
"It was you who told me that you should spend your whole life to achieve the ultimate swordsmanship, so I kindly told you these words that might help you reach the highest level of swordsmanship." Feng Mo said.
He stared at Yuan Yi with a bit of resentment.
"Hahaha." Yuan Yi smiled freely, "To achieve the ultimate in swordsmanship, you have to slowly explore it with your own sword. It's boring to rely on other people's guidance."
"Looking back now, I think carefully about the reason why I turned around and forgot the saying 'one is all, all is one'. There are quite a few reasons, probably because I don't want to rely on other people's guidance to reach the highest level.
'The paranoid character is at work."
Ogata has been listening carefully since just now, digesting every word and sentence that Fuma just said.
He had just been looking forward to hearing the introduction about "One is whole, whole is one" from Feng Mo's mouth.
But who knew that things would go against his wishes, and Feng Mo didn't know what this sentence meant.
I originally hoped to be able to clear up my doubts after talking to Yuan Yi and Feng Mo, but I didn't expect that not only were my doubts unanswered, but there were even more.
"Ah..." Ogata, who had an uncontrollable expression on his face, sighed and turned his attention to Genichi, "Genichi-san, have you never experienced anything similar?"
"No." Yuan Yi shook his head directly, "I have never tried to talk to myself."
Having said this, Yuan Yi put on a happy smile and then continued:
"Ogata-kun, you really surprise me every time."
"Unconsciously, you seem to have reached a state that I have never reached."
"What a terrifying future life!"
"In terms of swordsmanship training, I am still far behind, and there is still a lot of room for improvement!"
There is no yin and yang negative tone in Yuan Yi's words.
There was only the purest joy in the tone of voice.
Especially when he said the words "I am still far behind", Genichi showed a pure smile like a simple child.
Looking at Genichi's smiling face, Ogata couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
"Whether I have reached a new level or not, I'm still not sure." Ogata sighed softly, "Maybe after tonight, I will never be able to meet another 'me' again."
"Just let nature take its course." Yuan Yi waved his hand, "Maybe it won't be long before you can meet 'him' again."
"If I have to face a near-death crisis like tonight before I can meet 'him' again, then I hope I won't meet 'him' again for the rest of my life."
After saying this in a half-joking tone, Ogata bowed solemnly to Fuma.
"Lord Feng Mo, I can't thank you enough. Thanks to you, I no longer have any clue as to why I can see another 'me'."
Before Feng Mo could reply, Yuan Yi smiled and answered for Feng Mo:
"Ganshi's saying 'one is whole, whole is one', you can just use it as a reference."
"After all, the value of this sentence is still open to question."
"There are a lot of riddles circulating in the Wind Demon that have completely unclear meanings and feel like they are completely nonsense."
"I remember that Kanshi seemed to have told me another riddle that has been passed down from generation to generation in their Fuma clan. What is it called 'driving the thunder'?"
"'Only when you have reached the supreme realm can you control thunder and perform lightning strikes.'" Feng Mo continued silently, "This sentence has also been passed down from generation to generation in our Feng Mo community."
"The method of harnessing thunder and lightning strikes?" Ogata's expression slowly became weird, "This... is completely nonsense, right?"
This sentence is the same as the sentence "One is whole, all is one". I know every word, but when connected together, the whole sentence feels very confusing...
"Although I don't want to admit it, I still have to agree that what Yuan Yi said just now is right." Feng Mo sighed and raised his hand to touch his forehead that had been reflecting the moonlight, "These have been passed down in our Fuma family for generations.
According to legend, the content does feel like nonsense, and its value and correctness are open to question."
"So Ogata brother, just take what I just said as a reference."
Ogata nodded and was about to say "I understand"
"Ayi, what are you doing? I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Behind him came Omachi's voice and the already familiar sound of Omachi's footsteps.
"Ah, that's bad..." Ogata took a deep breath and quickly turned his head. He saw Omachi standing behind him with his hands on his hips, casting an unhappy look at him.
.
At this moment, Ogata finally remembered that he was here to fetch water for Atachi...
"I'm sorry... I met Mr. Gen and Mr. Fuma in the courtyard, so I couldn't help but chat with them about martial arts."
"I thought you fainted on the road..." A depressed mood flashed in A-Machi's eyes.
Although the depression in Atachi'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 gentle smile to A-Machi, "I'll be fine. Just stand there and wait for a while, I'll get the water right away."
A-Machi: "Well..."
Ogata lowered his voice and turned to Genichi beside him. Fuma whispered:
"Master Gendai, Master Fuuma, and Omachi are still waiting for me, so I'll leave first. Let's talk in detail later if we have the chance."
After that, Ogata threw the bucket that he had been holding in his hand into the well next to him.
While Ogata was concentrating on fetching water, Genichi looked at Ogata with a meaningful look, and then looked at Atachi who was standing not far away.
"...Ogata-kun." Genichi whispered in a voice that only he, Ogata and Fuma could hear clearly, "Although you seem to be in good condition now, I still want to ask you what to do after you have absorbed it.
After the 'Immortal Power', you didn't feel any physical discomfort, right?"
"Ha..." Ogata smiled bitterly, "Atachi just asked me the exact same question... Don't worry, I'm fine. Except that my physical fitness and recovery ability have become much better than before, everything remains the same."
"That's good...you should pay more attention to Miss Atachi in the future." Genichi raised his eyes again and glanced at Atachi who was quietly waiting for Ogata to fetch water, "My husband has absorbed the unknown origin."
"Immortality power', I wonder if there will be any sequelae or other messy things in the future... Even if Miss Atachi doesn't say it, I can vaguely guess that she must be very worried about whether you will have any accidents in the future."
"You should have noticed, right? Miss Atachi's current mood."
"...Who do you think I am? I am the husband of Ogata Town."
…
…
After fetching water, Ogata and Omachi walked side by side back to where they were just now.
"Help me wet this piece of cloth and wring it out." Omachi sat cross-legged on the ground and picked up the barrel of Kasumi Nagi's gun that had been removed.
"Okay." Ogata knelt down next to A-Machi. Following A-Machi's instructions, he threw the white cloth that A-Machi just handed him into the bucket to wet it, then collected it and wrung it out.
"By the way, I haven't thanked you yet." Ogata handed the white cloth with the water squeezed out to Omachi, "Thank you for bringing me the knife in time again."
After saying that, Ogata glanced at the Daishiten and Daizizi hanging on his left waist.
"A similar scene happened on Butterfly Island a year ago. You showed up in time with Da Shi Tian and Da Zi Zai and brought me a knife."
"Thanks to our good luck." Atachi smiled slightly, "When we attacked Ryushui Temple, we found your sword among the enemies."
"Thanks to that first light for telling me where you were at that time."
"At that time, when I heard Hatsumi saying that you were in the northwest of Osaka, my mind buzzed and everything went blank."
"At first, I couldn't believe Chu Guang's words."
"But after I heard Hatsumi categorically telling me that a large army was massing toward the northwest of Osaka, I decided to treat the dead horse as a living horse. After discussing it with Mr. Gendai and the others, we decided that it would be up to me and
Mr. Genichi, Mamiya and Makimura are still in relatively good condition and are here to see you."
"Ah, I have to thank Mamiya."
"I was in such a hurry to rush to the northwest of Osaka that I forgot to take your knife. It was Mamiya who reminded me, and I remembered that you didn't take your knife."
"Ha, it seems like I have to make a special trip to thank Hatsumi and Mamiya later. There are so many people to thank tonight..." After that, Ogata slowly changed to a serious tone.
, "Ah Ding, Master Yuyi... is implicated by me..."
"I'm so sorry to him... He helped me repair the knife so perfectly, but I didn't even have the chance to thank him in person..."
"Atachi, can you come with me to bury Master Yuichi properly?"
Ogata, who already knew what happened to Atachi, Genichi and others tonight, naturally also knew that Yuichi, who helped him repair his sword, was implicated by him and suffered a terrible disaster.
"Well..." Ating nodded gently, "Of course, that's what I meant."
Afterwards, both of them were silent.
Omachi concentrated on cleaning up his Kasumi Nagi and Umeizen for Ogata.
Ogata also sat silently aside, giving advice to Atachi.
There was a peaceful atmosphere between the two of them that could only be found in an old couple like them.
Atachi cleans guns very quickly.
In just a short time, Kasumi Nagi and Umeizen became as new as ever under the skillful hands of Atachi.
"Okay." There was a faint look of satisfaction on the corner of A-Machi's upturned mouth, "Here, take it. Remember to pay more attention next time and don't let them fall into the water again. If they fall into the water frequently, use
Life span will be greatly shortened.”
"Oh, it was repaired so quickly." Ogata played with the repaired Kasumi Nagi and Ume Ran, "As expected of Amachi...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 help you wash clothes, you always use the phrase 'As expected of A-Machi' to fool me..."
After Ogata laughed awkwardly a few times, he silently took Kasumi Nagi and Ume Ran back into his arms.
"I'm not flattering, I'm telling the truth...cough, cough, cough."
Before he finished speaking, Ou suddenly started coughing.
As soon as the coughing sound started, Omachi's expression immediately changed, and he approached Ogata with a nervous look on his face.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"I'm fine." Ogata cleared his throat, "I just accidentally inhaled a few large dust particles."
"That's it...that's good..." Amachi breathed out as if he was relieved.
Ogata had been silently observing Omachi's expression just now.
When he saw Atachi reacting so violently to his slight cough, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
"...A-Machi."
"Huh? What... eh?"
A-Machi looked at Ogata in surprise...who suddenly hugged her hands.
Atachi is only 155m tall, and her hands are naturally very small.
Ogata's big hands easily hugged Atachi's small hands.
Before Atachi could ask what Ogata wanted to do, he heard Ogata say softly:
"I'm sorry... Amachi, for making you so uneasy."
With just one sentence, Omachi was stunned.
"If I keep telling you: I will be fine, you probably won't feel at ease either."
"After all, the 'immortal power' I obtained came from the monsters on Butterfly Island, not from strange pieces of meat like Toyotomi Nobuhide and Iemon."
"After digesting such 'immortal power', there will be no special sequelae in the future. Maybe no one in the world can answer this question."
"I can understand your uneasiness."
As soon as he said these words, A-Machi's lips tightened slightly and his eyes slowly turned red.
"I don't know what else I can say to you that can make you feel at ease under the current circumstances."
"I can only promise you that no matter what happens in the future, I will try my best to live well."
"Your guarantee cannot make me feel at ease..."
Although Atachi said this, after hearing Ogata's assurance just now, a smile appeared on her cheek, showing a strange expression of smile and depression at the same time.
"...I'm so scared." After bursting into laughter, Ating slowly pursed his lips again and lowered his head, "I'm so scared...will the 'immortal power' in your body be lost?"
What side effects...I'm so afraid that I will wake up one morning and see you not breathing..."
Ogata's words made Ogata feel both funny and touched.
These are words that only those who care about him and truly hope that he can be safe can say.
He quietly tightened his grip on A-Machi's small hands.
This allowed A-Machi to feel the temperature of his palm more clearly.
"Brother Ogata! Miss Atachi!"
At this moment, Makimura's shout suddenly sounded from a distance.
"The man among the two prisoners we captured before is finally willing to reveal information!"

Yesterday, a book friend suggested that I read more about Big Bear Girl, which would be good for my eyes. I think it makes sense! So today I spent a lot of time watching Big Bear Girl, so the update is a little late, sorry QAQ
