Chapter 713 My Ogata Yoshiki is going to chop the battleship with the plank! (Part 1) [7600]
"In order to study whether ordinary people would have any special reactions after eating the body of eight hundred bhikshuni, Nobuhide cut off the skin and flesh of eight hundred bhikshuni and let the experimenters eat it."
As soon as Xuanzheng finished speaking, the carriages of the "Asai Car" and the "Shimada Car" fell into a very brief silence...
"Let the experimenter...swallow the skin and flesh of eight hundred bhikkhunis?" Finally, it was Ating who asked in an unbelievable tone.
"That's the literal meaning." Xuan Zheng smiled, "Eight hundred nuns ate mermaid meat and became immortal."
"What will happen if you eat the skin and flesh of eight hundred bhikshuni who ate mermaid flesh?"
"Nobuhsu is eager to know the answer."
"Experimenters are so easy to find."
"Those who are treated as untouchables and no one takes them seriously are everywhere. A large number of experimenters can be captured at will."
[Note: Untouchables: The untouchable class in Japan during the Edo period could only engage in very low-end labor, which is covered in Volume 5 of this book.]
"Nobuhide managed to capture some nuns and forced them to eat the skin and flesh of eight hundred nuns..."
Xuan Zheng then showed his little finger to everyone.
"This experiment...has encountered great success and great difficulties at the same time since it started."
"Just feeding the skin and flesh of eight hundred bhikkhunis the size of the experimenter's finger cap will give the person who swallowed it a very powerful recovery ability, and his physical fitness will also be greatly enhanced."
"However, maybe it's because he swallowed the skin and flesh of eight hundred bhikkhunis instead of real mermaid flesh, so he didn't have such strong recovery power that he couldn't even die like the eight hundred bhikkhunis shown in that ancient book."
"If your head is damaged, or you suffer excessive damage in a short period of time, you will still die."
"But - even so, this is extremely exciting news for Nobuhide."
"However... Before I was happy for long, difficulties appeared."
…
…
"No matter who they are, male or female, strong or thin, anyone who eats the skin and flesh of eight hundred bhikshunis will eventually, without exception, vomit blood and die violently."
Toyotomi Nobuhide sighed softly as if recalling some depressing memory.
"The person who died the fastest died not long after eating the skin and flesh of eight hundred bhikshunis."
"In this way, I can't use the 'immortal power' for my own use, so what's the point of finding eight hundred bhikshunis?"
"So, I picked up that ancient book again."
The frustrated look on Toyotomi Nobuhide's face dissipated and turned back into that intriguing smile.
"Isn't it written very clearly in that ancient book - eight hundred nuns took the medicine given by the witch doctor of Fu Tang Tu and made the medicine, successfully suppressing the 'power of immortality' in their bodies and allowing themselves to die smoothly."
"I'm guessing: the reason why you died suddenly after eating the skin and flesh of eight hundred bhikkhunis is because the human body cannot bear the tyrannical 'power of immortality'?"
"It's just like people who take a drug that's too strong will feel sick."
"After all, this is the skin and flesh of eight hundred nuns, not real mermaid flesh. It is not a 'regular' way to obtain the 'power of immortality'."
"Then - I try to reproduce this medicine. If the experimenter takes this medicine together with the skin and flesh of eight hundred bhikkhunis, can the 'power of immortality' be suppressed to a level that the ordinary human body can withstand, so that ordinary people can go smoothly?
How about absorbing the 'immortal power'?"
"The contents of that prescription were roughly mentioned in that ancient book."
"Although it is a little incomplete, it is enough to try to restore this prescription."
"To this end, I tried to find all the famous doctors I could find."
…
…
"Nobuhide spent several years restoring this prescription."
Xuan Zheng laughed "ho ho" again.
"Xuanzhi and I joined the Toyotomi clan under the recommendation of Master Sengen and joined the research on the 'power of immortality'."
"Before joining the Toyotomi clan, I had many acquaintances in Koyasan and Koya Town, so I was often invited from Kyoto to Koyasan or Koya Town to treat people here."
"After going back and forth, I got acquainted with Master Xianyuan unknowingly. Because of this, I was valued by Master Xianyuan, and was then introduced to Nobuhide by Master Xianyuan."
As he said this, a look of reminiscence slowly appeared on Xuan Zheng's face.
As if he was recalling some beautiful past, the gloomy smile on his face turned into a smile of joy.
"After joining the Toyotomi clan and seeing the 'power of immortality' with my own eyes, I felt strongly for the first time - this world is really vast."
"Where you don't know, there might be something indescribable that can shatter all your common sense in the past."
"'The power of immortality' - all the knowledge I have in the past cannot explain the source and principle of this mysterious power."
"After seeing with my own eyes how incredible the 'Power of Immortality' is, I only had one thought left in my head: I want to spend the rest of my life studying the 'Power of Immortality'."
"So, almost without hesitation, I pulled Xuan Nao and agreed to join Toyotomi and work for Nobuhide."
"Nobuhide summoned all the doctors he could. He spent unimaginable manpower and material resources on the recovery prescription at all costs."
…
…
"Conducting an experiment on 'immortal power' will always require a large number of people to carry out the experiment."
"So, I entrusted Master Xianyuan to help me collect experimental subjects."
Toyotomi Nobuhide now sat cross-legged on the ground, making his eyes level with Lin again.
"Xiao Lin, you should understand, right? It is more convenient to entrust these monks with things like kidnapping people. After all, they are professionals in this area."
"Otherwise, Takano Sage's reputation wouldn't be so bad."
[Note: Koyasan: Koyasan monks who travel all over the country to promote their faith. Because there are many deceivers and deceivers among Koyasan, this group has a bad reputation]
"Master Xianyuan used his connections and sent out the monks he could entrust to help."
"Because Mount Koya is located in Kansai, Master Sengen and the others mainly help me collect experimental subjects here in Kansai."
"At the beginning, I was looking for those who would not be noticed by many people even if they disappeared."
"After that, because it was difficult to catch more filthy people, we had to attack ordinary civilians."
"Ah, by the way - Master Xianyuan also helped me bring in a lot of helpers to help me collect experimental subjects."
"for example--"
Toyotomi Nobuhide sneered several times at Lin in front of him.
"Abbott of Nara Honjoji Temple: Yunhe. He is the old monk who caused you to be wanted."
Hearing the familiar name of the temple and the familiar name of the person, the corners of Lin's eyes twitched uncontrollably.
"Yunhe and Master Sengen are close friends. After all, Nara and Mount Koya are very close to each other."
"After Master Xianyuan persuaded Yunhe to help me, Toyotomi, Yunhe can be said to have given me his fullest help."
"Not only did I use the convenience of the temple to help me collect a lot of experimental subjects, but it also helped me gain a foothold in Japan."
"When I first met Yunhe, I didn't have many strongholds in Japan, and I hadn't yet established a stable and large-scale stronghold in Japan."
"When I officially established a base in Japan, Yunhe used his connections and helped me a lot."
"He even said that he wanted to give me their temple-protecting treasure: Yama, which was said to have been one of Taikaku Hideyoshi's hidden swords."
"I don't lack good knives at hand, and I don't want to accept too many favors from him. So I declined his offer to give him a knife."
"Yunhe really helped me a lot, and I reciprocated the favor - I gave Yunhe a lot of good things."
"Yunhe is a bit lustful. Before he even got to know me, he had already started secretly abducting and imprisoning beautiful girls for his own enjoyment."
"So, I gave him some nice things."
"Besides... I also helped him become immortal."
…
…
"In the end - Nobuhide successfully restored the prescription bit by bit based on the records in that ancient book."
"Nobuhide named this pill that can suppress the 'power of immortality' - 'Bianruo Pill'."
"...I see, is this the origin of 'Bianwakamaru'..." Ogata, who had been a silent listener just now, suddenly interjected, "In the restoration of 'Bianwakamaru'
Later, you developed improved No. B pills and No. C pills, right?"
"Hey...you guys even know the A-number pills and the B-number pills. Yes, according to that ancient book, the Bianruo pill that was first restored can successfully suppress the 'power of immortality', but the suppression effect is quite average.
, even if they eat it, few people can successfully absorb the 'power of immortality'."
"Nobuhide named the initial Bianwakumaru 'A-hao pill', and then requested that based on the 'A-hao pill', further research on a Bianwakawan with better effects could be carried out."
"So, No. B pills, No. C pills, and No. D pills were developed one after another."
…
…
"I am a person who is never stingy with friends who have helped me."
"When we first successfully developed the No. C pill, Yunhe diagnosed a disease for which there was no cure - blood cough."
[Note·Blood cough: that is, tuberculosis. Before the advent of antibiotics, tuberculosis was an incurable disease that had no cure]
"There is no cure for blood cough."
"Yunhe has helped me so much, and I can't bear to just watch him die."
"And... we have never experimented on whether the 'power of immortality' can cure terminal diseases in the human body."
"So, I gave the skin and flesh of eight hundred bhikkhunis and No. C pills to Yunhe."
"Anyway, if he doesn't do anything, Yunhe will definitely die, so why not try to take a gamble."
"Ha, this matter is considered a secret among our Toyotomi clan."
"Only a very few people know that I also gave Yunhe eight hundred bhikshunis skin, flesh and C pills."
"I originally didn't have much hope that Yunhe could successfully absorb the 'power of immortality'."
"Although the ability of Pill C to suppress the 'power of immortality' is far better than that of Pill A and Pill B, there are still only a few people who swallow Pill C and successfully absorb the 'Power of Immortality'."
"The result was unexpected - Yunhe survived."
"His old body, suffering from a terminal illness, was able to successfully absorb the 'power of immortality'."
"After successfully absorbing the 'power of immortality', Yunhe's blood cough miraculously healed."
"Yunhe's successful case tells us that the ability to successfully absorb the 'Immortal Power' is not linked to physical fitness, but to physical constitution, and the 'Immortal Power' can indeed help eliminate diseases in the human body."
"After learning that Yun He successfully absorbed the 'power of immortality', I originally wanted to summon Yun He and let the doctors under my command study this rare 'successful person in absorbing immortality'."
"But I didn't expect it - only half a month after Yunhe was reborn, you suddenly appeared, killed Yunhe, and destroyed Benxiang Temple to pieces."
"Xiao Lin, you caused me to lose an important friend..."
Although Toyotomi Nobuhide said this, there was no trace of anger on his face. He only smiled bitterly and shrugged with regret.
…
…
"Nobuhide's goal is to develop a genwakamaru that has a high success rate in absorbing the 'power of immortality' and allows the absorber to have strong recovery and physical fitness at the same time."
"So although the absorption success rate of Dinghaowan is extremely high, it cannot make the absorber have strong physical fitness and has no recovery power. Moreover, this recovery power will become weaker and weaker as time goes by, until it disappears.
Pills are naturally unqualified in Nobuhide's eyes."
"The development of Dinghao Pill can be regarded as a failure."
"However... Nobuhide did not ask us to continue developing the Bianwakumaru."
"It's not because Nobuhide doesn't want to become Wakamaru with better results."
"It's because I can no longer continue to study the 'power of immortality'."
Xuan Zheng let out a low laugh that seemed to be self-deprecating.
"After so many years of research, the meat slices of the eight hundred bhikkhunis... are almost used up."
Xuan Zheng raised his right hand and gestured at his neck.
"When Dinghaowan was successfully developed, only the body parts above the neck were left of the eight hundred bhikkhunis."
"The eight hundred bhikkhunis are running out of meat for our experiments."
"So after the Dinghao Pill was successfully developed, Nobuhide ordered all experimental sites for studying the 'immortal power' to be destroyed and all experimental subjects cleaned up."
"Only the Dinghao Field, which was specifically responsible for conducting Dinghao Pill experiments, was attacked by unknown persons on the day of destruction, resulting in a very small number of experimental subjects escaping, but fortunately most of the experimental subjects who escaped were caught
Came back and got cleaned up smoothly.”
Sitting on the "Shimada Car", Hatsumi, the instigator of the "attack on No. 1 Field", gritted his teeth subconsciously.
Everyone present, without exception, looked ugly after hearing what Xuan Zheng had just said.
In order to conduct the so-called experiment, a person's body from the neck down was divided into tens of thousands of pieces, and the body from the neck down was eaten completely...
This kind of thing has exceeded the imagination limit of Ogata and others.
"Since we can no longer conduct experiments on the 'Immortal Power', we can no longer research new and better Bianwakamaru, so Nobuhide can only choose every Bianwakamaru currently at hand, and the effect is relatively
The best No. C pill to give his trusted subordinates the 'power of immortality'."
"He made many of his subordinates eat the meat slices of eight hundred bhikkhunis and No. C pills. However, in the end, only Yoshihisa, the brat, and Uemon succeeded in absorbing the 'power of immortality.'"
"After the research on Bianruomaru was stopped, research on the 'power of immortality' was also completely stopped."
"And this... was also the trigger for my breakup with Nobuhide."
Xuan Zheng slowly lowered his head, and then let out a self-deprecating laugh again.
"It was in order to study the 'power of immortality' that I decided to join the Toyotomi clan and work for Nobuhide."
"Now you tell me: If you don't study the 'power of immortality', what does this mean?"
"So, after I learned that research on the 'Immortal Power' was suspended, I immediately ran to have a big fight with Nobuhide."
"Eight hundred bhikkhunis still have one head left and can continue their research activities for about another month."
"I ask Nobuhide to give it one last try. Maybe we can get a huge breakthrough in the research on 'immortal power' in this last month."
"But Toyotomi is not moved at all by my proposal."
"Finally - because I was still unwilling to give in, the Toyotomi clan, who was extremely angry with me, imprisoned me in the prison of Mount Koya."
"...This is the whole story of your enmity with Nobhide." Ogata said, "So - you agreed to assist us for free just to avenge Toyotomi Nobhide?"
"That's right!" Xuan Zheng raised his head suddenly, his eyes widened, and his voice rose to an unknown number of degrees, "I worked hard for Nobuhide just to be able to study the 'power of immortality'!"
"I can tolerate him saying nasty things to me!"
"I can tolerate him putting me in jail!"
"But I can't tolerate him suspending his research on the 'Immortal Power'!"
"Studying the 'power of immortality' thoroughly is an ideal I want to achieve even if I spend the rest of my life."
"For this reason, I would even abandon the apprentice I have always regarded as my own!"
"In the end, Nobu Soo treated me like this!"
"Let me ask you - if it were you, what would you do?"
"Are you going to swallow your anger silently?"
"Or should we do our best to fight back?"
Xuan Zheng gritted his teeth, and the flames of resentment burned in Xuan Zheng's eyes.
"Although I am just a weak doctor, I also know the principle of 'tit for tooth'!"
"Hmph..." Asai, who was in charge of driving and always had a bad mouth, let out a very explicit sneer, "It's such a common reason..."
"... We understand why you are willing to assist us." Yuan Yi said solemnly at this moment, "Now... can you tell us in detail: what is going on when Xiaolin is used as a human pillar?
"
"Ah, this..."
The strong look of resentment that originally hung on Xuan Zheng's face slowly dissipated, and his expression slowly changed back to that extremely uncomfortable smile.
"While studying the 'Bianruomaru', we made... other unexpected discoveries."
"Regardless of whether the 'power of immortality' is successfully absorbed or not, this person's corpse will decay like ordinary people and return to nature, but the rate of decay will be much slower than that of ordinary people."
"In a very accidental situation, we discovered that - perhaps because they did not obtain the 'immortal power' in a formal way, all the people who died suddenly after eating the skin and flesh of eight hundred bhikkhunis, their
Corpses will become terrible...'poisons'."
"Put their corpses into the water, and then let ordinary people drink the contaminated water, and they will turn into monsters that have lost their minds, are extremely aggressive, and have terrifying resilience."
"Because after turning into such a monster, its eyes will turn purple, so we collectively call this kind of monster 'Purple Eyes'."
"After Nobuhide learned of the incident, he immediately asked us to investigate it."
"After investigation: Only after their bodies were thrown into the water could such destructive power be produced."
"There will be no abnormality if the body is buried in the soil, exposed in the wild, or incinerated."
"We speculate that the corpses of those who died suddenly after eating the flesh of eight hundred bhikkhunis turned into such terrible 'poisons', most likely because the human body failed to absorb the 'power of immortality'
, causing the 'immortal power' to produce special mutations when combined with the human body."
"Because we have tried to sink the bodies of those who successfully absorbed the 'power of immortality' into the water, and then let ordinary people drink the contaminated water, but these people did not turn into purple eyes."
"Only the corpses of those who failed to absorb the 'power of immortality' will pollute the water."
"Purple Eyes have no consciousness, and their physical fitness has not been enhanced, but only their resilience and their blood are very scary."
"Anyone who accidentally lets purple-eyed blood enter the body will vomit blood and die - the symptoms are exactly the same as those of people who fail to absorb the 'power of immortality'."
"So we conclude that Zimu is a monster contaminated by the mutated 'power of immortality'."
"They have mutated 'immortal power' in their bodies, that's why their symptoms are so special."
"But in the final analysis, Zimu is still a defective product under the power of 'immortality'."
"In our research, we found that Zimu still has many fatal weaknesses."
"Their first weakness: they are afraid of absorbing the blood of those who have succeeded in the 'Immortal Power'."
"To put it simply--spread the blood of those who have successfully absorbed the 'power of immortality' such as Yoshihisa, Nana, and Uemon on the weapon, and then use such a weapon to attack Murasaki, Murasaki
The injuries sustained by this weapon will not recover."
"As for the principle... we guess it is because the orthodox 'immortal power' can suppress this mutated 'immortal power'. It is similar to 'fighting fire with fire'."
"And Zi Mu's second... and also their most fatal weakness is that they don't live long."
"After our research, the average life span of purple eyes is basically only 4 years. After 4 years, all purple eyes will die of organ failure without exception."
"The symptoms of death are exactly the same as those of people who have exhausted their lifespan and died naturally."
"We speculate that this is related to the 'immortal power' that the human body cannot withstand mutation."
"However - even though the purple eye is just a defective product of the 'Immortal Power', Nobuhide still has a very strong interest in the purple eye."
"Therefore, Nobuhide decided to conduct a bold experiment: If a certain river is polluted, can the people who depend on this river become 'purple eyes'?"
"then……"
"So you chose to launch this experiment on Kii's Butterfly Island." Ogata took over Xuanzheng's words and answered for him.
Xuanzheng seemed to be used to the fact that Ogata and others knew a lot of things at this time. After hearing him laugh a few times, he continued:
"That's right. We chose to launch this experiment on Butterfly Island."
"I happened to be very interested in purple eyes at that time, so I rushed to Butterfly Island under the pseudonym Xuanzhi."
"For convenience of naming, we call this kind of corpse used to pollute water sources 'human pillar'."
"The person chosen to conduct experiments on Butterfly Island is a girl."
"We threw the girl's body into the upper reaches of the river where the residents of Butterfly Island depend on for survival, and then waited for the experimental results to come out."
"The result was unexpected - not long after the experiment started, I suddenly learned that the No. C experimental site in Ezochi, dedicated to the development of No. C pills, was a great success, and the No. C pill was successfully developed."
"Ah, I just forgot to mention: at that time, No. C pills and No. D pills had not yet been developed. The Die Island experiment and the development of No. C pills were carried out simultaneously."
"I was eager to see what the No. C pill looked like, so I applied to Nobuhide for permission to go to the No. C experimental site in Ezochi, and let someone else continue to observe the experiment on Butterfly Island."
"At that time, Nobuhide and I were still very close, so Nobuhide quickly gave me a reply and allowed me to go to Experimental Site C to observe the experiment."
"So I took Xuan Zhi and left Butterfly Island in a hurry and rushed to Ezo Land."
"However... when I first arrived in Ezo, Genzhi... suddenly abandoned me."
After hearing about Xuanzheng's current situation from Ogata's mouth before, a complicated expression appeared on Xuanzheng's face once, and now it appeared on Xuanzheng's face again.
"At that time... I had actually discovered that Xuan Zhi's mental condition was not very good... but... I hoped that he could always stay with me and study the 'power of immortality' with me."
"After discovering that Xuan Zhi suddenly ran away, I tried to find him once."
"But it was no use at all. After finding him once, he ran away immediately."
"In the end, I simply gave up and let him do what he wanted to do."
"Ah, sorry, I seem to have gone off topic."
After Xuan Zheng mocked himself, he continued:
"The experiment on Butterfly Island can be said to be a great success."
"After drinking the polluted river water, the residents of Butterfly Island all turned into purple eyes."
"This result... can be said to make Nobuhide overjoyed."
"Because, he finally found... a way to easily defeat the Edo Shogunate."
"Do you know Kanda Josui?"
"Two hundred years ago, when the Edo shogunate was first established, in order to build the shogunate into a large city that could easily accommodate even a million people, the shogunate used Inokashira Pond as a water source, collecting water from the pond on the way and diverting it to the foot of Edo Castle."
"This waterway was named Kanda Josui."
"All the people in Edo drew their daily water from Kanda Josui."
"Witnessing the great success of the Butterfly Island experiment, Nobuhide formulated a combat plan he named the 'Edo Battle'."
"The content of this plan is not complicated either."
"Throwing human pillars into Kanda Josui made the ruling center of the Edo shogunate look like Butterfly Island."
Although he had heard Genmasa briefly explain what the "Edo War" was when he was still on Mount Koya, Ogata still couldn't help but feel chills in his teeth after hearing such words again.
"Then what's the purpose of using the lord as a human pillar and throwing it into the Kanda water?!" The impatient Asai couldn't help shouting, "From what you just said, it shouldn't matter who the human pillar is, right?!"
"Well... well..."
The smile on Xuan Zheng's face... slowly became weird.
"The reason is very simple..."
…
…
"...You went to such trouble to capture me just to use me as a 'human pillar' and throw me into Kanda Josui?!" Lin growled at Nobuhide.
"Yes." Nobuhide smiled and nodded very frankly: "Because... think about it - compared to throwing an unrelated person into Kanda Josui, it is obvious that he will still have a relationship with our Toyotomi clan.
It would be more suitable for people with strong karma to throw themselves into the Kanda water."
"After all, launching a sharp counterattack against the Edo shogunate is more meaningful for us Toyotomi people to do it ourselves, isn't it?"
"In this way, what a sense of historical beauty!"
After saying that, Nobuhide showed Lin a bright smile.
This sunny look was just like what he said to Lin just now: "Sister, I wish you a happy birthday, I love you."
