"When I was 14 years old, my grandmother and mother died one after another because of their end of life and illness."

Lin said in a calm tone of things that should be heavy for her.

"After my grandmother and mother passed away, in order to realize my own dream, my uncle and I left home together."

"Dream?" Ah Ding asked, tilting his head.

"I'm not interested in any **** Fuxing Toyotomi." Lin replied, "I never thought there was any possibility of Fuxing Toyotomi."

"I have only one dream since I was little-to make a lot of money, to make a lot of money, to be a big businessman who never worry about spending money, and to live the life of what you want to eat."

"So, not long after Uncle He left his hometown, he founded Huluwu, a rice merchant who only sold rice as its main business at the beginning."

"Although I have no interest in Fuxing Toyotomi, I admire my ancestor, Toyotomi Hideyoshi."

"My ancestors started at the end of the day, a commoner who was not even a samurai, relying on hard work and grasping the opportunity to sit on the throne of the world."

"My background is also bad. Thanks to my **** brother who took away all the savings of my family, I was almost hungry to pick up trash and eat."

"So I am determined to learn from my ancestors."

"Back then, the ancestor Toyotomi Hideyoshi used the gourd as his horse seal (the indicator tied to the general to exaggerate the power of the army and the place where the general general is located), and the gourd horse seal was completed with the ancestors. The world is unified under the hegemony."

"Therefore, I am determined to learn from my ancestors, and named my chamber of commerce as'Gourd House', and named Gourd as the symbol of my'Gourd House'."

"After the creation of the Calabash House, after several hard struggles, I finally succeeded in making the Calabash House operate stably and steadily bring me wealth."

"After I have some money, I want to wear a good knife for myself."

"After returning to the country, Uncle Gong accepted me as a disciple and taught me the two-sword style of selflessness."

"I have never had a good knife that can be named-I have always been brooding about it."

"After all, I am a swordsman. Without a good knife, I feel like a part of my body is missing."

"So I used my personal connections and looked around for a good knife that I could look at."

"Then-I found this Yan Mo who is kept in the main elephant temple."

Lin raised her hand again and touched Yan Mo who was on the right side of her body.

"Under my detailed investigation, I found out that this knife is also related to me-this Yan Mo was once one of the hidden knives of my ancestor Toyotomi Hideyoshi."

"According to rumors, this knife is made of a special metal, so the blade is painted black."

"In terms of sharpness, it is not the top category."

"But in terms of tenacity, no knife can compete with it."

"Out of admiration for my ancestor Toyotomi Hideyoshi, I have a keen interest in this knife that was once collected by my ancestors and I am willing to take it as my own."

"So I rushed to the Honxiang Temple in Nara with Kuro, who had been under my command at that time."

"By the way-at that time, Kuro was planning to take up his position."

The corners of Lin's mouth were slightly raised at this moment, showing a slight smile.

"Kuro's abacus is very good, so he was in charge of the finances of my gourd house at that time."

"I used to learn the methods of planning and accounting in Edo." Mamiya added abruptly.

"Before I arrived at the Honjo-ji Temple in Nara, I expected that this trip to buy a knife would not go smoothly."

"After all, this Yan Mo is the treasure of this elephant temple. It is impossible to buy this knife in just a few words."

"Facts have proved—it really is."

"Host of the Benxiang Temple: Yunhe, his attitude is extremely tough."

"I have already raised the bid to almost all of my savings at the time: 1000 taels of gold, he was unmoved, unwilling to sell Yan Mo."

"I didn't want to just give up this knife, so I stayed in Nara temporarily, and while enjoying the scenery of the ancient capital of Nara I visited in the future, I was thinking about ways to persuade Yunhe to sell the knife."

"That's when I was temporarily staying in Nara... A monk from Honxiang Temple: Mija secretly found me."

"He told me something... the truth that made me sweat."

At this moment, Lin's face slowly sank.

The complexion of Mamiya on the side also no longer looks good.

"Mique told me: Although Yunhe, the host of their elephant temple, looks kind, but in essence, he is full of villains who are thieves and prostitutes."

"He has always taken advantage of the status of the host of the large monastery to deceive the girls who are devout to Buddhism, secretly detaining them in the temple, and insulting them."

"Most of the high-level personnel in the Benxiang Temple participated in Yunhe's evil deeds-the Mique who reported this to me was once a member of Yunhe and the others."

"According to Mique: After being invited by Yunhe to join their evil deeds, he also enjoyed the feeling of being able to abuse girls wantonly at first."

"But gradually, after looking at the tragic conditions of the girls, Mique, who was not as desolate as Yunhe and the others, gradually felt pain, and finally could no longer bear the condemnation of his conscience, and was determined to expose the darkness."

"But the relationship between Yunhe and the officials of the town of Nara is very good. If you report to an official, his report is very likely to fall into the sea because of the practice of Nara and the stubbornness of Yunhe."

"So Mique continued to forcibly endure the condemnation of his conscience, silently waiting for the opportunity to expose this darkness."

"Just waited until the arrival of Mamiya and me."

"Mi Que said that he was going crazy by his own conscience at that time, and if he didn't quickly find a way to report the villains Yunhe, he might really be crazy."

"So he broke the jar and decided to place his hopes on me and Kuro, whose eyes he felt were very upright."

"I can't leave freely, and at the same time I don't have the ability to leave Nara. Let Kuro and I go to the temple that specializes in Buddhist temples and shrines and report it to the temple."

"I was dubious about Mique's words at the time. After all,'Yunhe is a villain full of male thieves and female prostitutes.' It was entirely Mique's words."

"It cannot be ruled out that Mique is maliciously reporting Yunhe."

"So I planned to wait until after dark and sneak into the Honxiang Temple with Kuro to spy on information to see if what Mija said is true or not."

"After confirming that Mique's remarks are true or false, we can make the next step."

"But who knows... the night has just fallen, and the accident has come."

"After reporting Yunhe's evil deeds to me, in order to prevent Yunhe from discovering his betrayal, Mique hurried back to the Honxiang Temple."

"As soon as it got dark, Mamiya and I saw Mija, who was soaked in blood and tried to escape to me for the last breath."

"It turns out that Yunhe had long suspected that Mique had a heart of betrayal, so every time Mique went out, he would secretly send a tracking master to follow Mique."

"Just today... Yunhe finally caught evidence of Mique's betrayal."

"So after Mique returned to the temple, Yunhe planned to kill Mique, but he didn't realize it but let Mique escape by chance."

"But... even though she escaped... Mija, whose blood was almost draining at the time, had few breaths left when she fled to me..."

Lin slowly lowered her head and looked at her open left palm.

"Bloodful Mija, grabbed my hand with all my strength at that time, and asked me to go to the Benxiang Temple to rescue the poor girls."

"After Hibari learned that Mique had really betrayed him, he hurriedly mobilized all his accomplices to kill the poor girls who were hidden in the temple by them, destroying their bodies and destroying the evidence."

"After exhausting the last bit of strength in my body and asking me to save the poor girls, Mi Que swallowed one last breath."

"Kuro and I carried the sword and rushed to the Honxiang Temple as quickly as possible."

"However... it's still a step too late."

"After Kuro and I rushed to the Honxiang Temple and sneaked into the depths of the Honxiang Temple, we soon found a secret room... with a strong smell of blood."

"At that time, two monks were cleaning in the secret room. After interrogating the monk with Mamiya Haosheng, we finally knew-the evil deeds Mique said about Yunhe... are all true."

"The girls have been killed, and their bodies have been cleansed. There is no evidence that Yunhe and the others have done those nasty things."

"Without this evidence, the government will have nothing to do with Yunhe-but this kind of thing doesn't matter anymore."

"Because I was determined not to let Yunhe see the sun tomorrow."

"This is... the truth about my attack on the Elephant Temple."

"The burning of the elephant temple is purely an accident-when Jiulang and I were fighting with that Yunhe, we accidentally overturned the candlestick."

"The overturned candlestick ignited the screens, paper windows and other combustibles. That night happened to be a dry and windless night. The fire went out of control in an instant and swallowed the entire Benxiang Temple."

"Lord, you and Mamiya are fighting with that Yunhe?" Shimada's eyes widened at this time, "Is that Yunhe so powerful? Can you fight with the Lord and Mamiya?"

Lin nodded: "This is what I want to focus on next."

"That Yunhe's skill is not outstanding, he is naturally inferior to either of me or Mamiya in terms of his skill."

"But—he is a very difficult person to die."

Ogata's brow jerked.

Then he held his breath and prepared to listen carefully to Lin's next words.

"His self-healing ability is extremely strong. After cutting a knife on him, he can clearly see that the injuries on his body are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye."

"With more than a dozen knives in his body, he can still fight me and Mamiya like a okay person."

"What's more terrifying is that his physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people."

"Everyone here is not someone who doesn't know martial arts. It should be clear-a person's strength, agility, and reaction speed are much higher than yours. What does this mean."

"No matter how good the technique is, it is difficult to make an effective attack against a person whose physical fitness far exceeds yours."

"Of course-that Yunhe can last so long under the attack between me and Mamiya, in addition to his body is different from ordinary people, there is also a very important reason, because I want to capture him alive."

"I want to know how his body became like this."

"So when Jirou and I took the sword, we both showed some affection."

"Although his self-healing ability is amazing, he is not a true undead person who can't be hacked to death."

"After giving him a certain amount of trauma, the recovery speed of his wounds has obviously weakened."

"After slashing hundreds of knives on him, the self-healing of his wounds finally stopped."

"But I didn't realize that Yunhe is also a ruthless character."

"Seeing that there is no hope for survival, he immediately swallowed a poison, and my plan to capture him completely failed."

"But before he committed suicide, he said something that made me extremely concerned."

"He said: ‘If I have real immortality, even if I am afraid of you’!"

"After shouting this sentence, he took poison and committed suicide."

"After he committed suicide, the officials of the Nara Town Magistrate also rushed to the outskirts of Honjo-ji Temple, which was about to be burnt down."

"I don't want to conflict with officials, so I can only retreat with Kuro temporarily."

"Before I left the Elephant Temple, I took Yan Mo away easily."

"It is an insult to this kind of treasure to let Yan Mo stay in such a dirty place as the Benxiang Temple."

"Moreover, taking away Yan Mo can be regarded as revenge. Although not all monks in the Benxiang Temple participated in Yunhe's evil deeds, I still don't have any good feelings for the Benxiang Temple."

"But I didn't take it for nothing."

"When I took away Yan Mo, I left all the money I was carrying with me at the time, totaling 300 taels. But I did nothing but it was useless. Later, I was still treated as the evil of burning temples and stealing treasures. thief."

"But it doesn't matter. When I decided that Yunhe would never see tomorrow's sun again, I was ready to be treated as an enemy of Buddhism. I don't care if my reputation will get worse. It's a little bit."

"After leaving Nara smoothly, Yunhe's words before his death made me worry all the time."

"According to Yunhe's dying cry and my intuition, I have to doubt: there is a mysterious organization or a mysterious person who has the ability to turn a person's body into a monster-like body."

"Moreover, Yunhe's immortality should not be the most complete one, because what he called before he died was'If I had a real immortality'."

"There is a mysterious organization or mysterious person who has the ability to turn people into monsters—this thing makes me restless."

"After all, if this ability falls into the hands of some lunatic or careerist, the consequences will be disastrous."

"From the perspective of Yunhe's character, this ability that allows people to have immortality is extremely likely to fall into the hands of unscrupulous people."

"This kind of thing is not what I want to see."

"It affects the realization of my dream."

"Even people who don't know anything about business should know that business can only be done in a stable and peaceful environment."

"If the world is messed up by ambitions, how can I make money?"

"And I don't want to see the kind of ambitious guys who have only their own desires in their heads make the world sad."

"So I decided to investigate'immortality' to find out who has this ability to turn people into monsters."

"Finding out the truth about'immortality' will definitely inevitably fight, so I have successively brought the excellent skills of Yahachi, Shichiro Hebei, and Katsurokuro into my head. I will expand the scale of my business and earn more sufficient funds."

"Furthermore, by the beginning of last year, I finally collected useful information—heard the rumors of "undead" appearing on Butterfly Island, so I sent Kuro and Yapachi to the island to check the situation."

"The following things shouldn't be necessary for me to repeat them."

It's not a long story, it's over.

Ogata pursed his lips, silently digesting the story Lin just told.

But Shimada touched his nose at this time, smiled and said with admiration:

"It turned out to be like this... It turned out to be a painstaking investigation of'immortality' for this."

"It's the lord...I am willing to take the initiative to drip this kind of muddy water in order to prevent the careerists from raging on the world. If it is me, I should avoid this kind of muddy water..."

"...Didn't you listen carefully to what I just said?" Lin turned her head slightly so that Ogata and others could not see her face, "I didn't try my best to investigate for such a noble reason." Immortal' Oh, my main purpose is to make my dream of making a lot of money and being a big businessman come true."

Seeing Lin's reaction and the words Lin said, the four of Genichi, Mamiya, Makimura, and Asai seemed to have a heart, and they all smiled knowingly.

Shimada also discovered that Mamiya and others weren't like him, and showed admiration after listening to the story Lin just described.

So Shimada looked at Mamiya and the others with a surprised look: "Senior, do you already know the reason why the lord is investigating the "immortality"?"

"I just talked about it." Mucun said, "As a newcomer, it is naturally impossible for you to tell you too much secrets."

Lin had already turned her head back at this moment and looked directly at Ogata.

"Your second question, I have also finished answering it."

"Is there anything you want to ask?"

"...No more." Ogata shook his head.

"Since you don't have any other questions you want to ask." Lin straightened her waist a little bit at this time, "Then it's my turn to ask you a serious question—"

Lin put on a serious expression.

"Ogata Itosai, do you want to join hands with our gourd house to investigate'immortality' together?"

Ogata hardly hesitated too much.

All the mysteries about the gourd house he wanted to know were now clear.

Now he could not find any reason to reject the ready-made ally in front of him.

Not long after Lin's voice fell, Okinawa smiled slightly:

"...Please take care of each other as you did last year against Shiranui."

A smile appeared on Lin's face when he heard Ogata's words.

"I also ask you to take care of it."

…

…

At this moment—

Osaka, Isshiki Sword Museum, inside a certain utility room—

Isshiki now stuffed most of her body into the closet of this cluttered room, only to expose the male's hips full of the urge to slap forward.

Isshiki was playing around in the closet, causing her exposed buttocks to sway slightly, making people even want to slap them hard.

"Xiao Hua." Zhi Zhou walked over slowly at this time, "How about the secret road here? Is there anything that needs to be repaired?"

"There is nothing wrong with the secret path." With his **** facing Zhi Zhou's Isshika, UU read www. udkanshu.com slowly pulled his body out of the closet.

"Well, that's good." Zhi Zhou nodded.

"Grandpa." Isshiki turned to Zhizhou at this time with an unpleasant gaze, "What is the need for the construction and maintenance of this secret road? We are not in the Warring States era, which is always disturbed by war. Da Ming, you need to build multiple secret passages to facilitate your escape."

"Xiaohua, how many times do you want me to say it." Zhi Zhou made a straight face, "The secret road doesn't cost much to build and maintain."

"With a small amount of money, you can give yourself one more means to deal with any emergencies. Why not build such a good thing?"

Zhi Zhou was chattering there endlessly.

Facing Zhi Zhou's nagging, Isshihua turned a deaf ear and let out a silent sigh.

—Grandpa is really stunned...

Isshika secretly said in her heart.

About 5 years ago, I don’t know if it’s because of my old age, a different way of thinking, or some other reason. Zhizhou, who had never been interested in secret roads before, heeded the advice of a friend of his 5 years ago. And suggested that they spent a lot of money to build a lot of secret roads that can lead to the outside in their Isshiki home.

At the beginning, the parents of Isshika and Isshika were very opposed to building something that feels like a fart, but Naozhou stubbornly said that he would not listen, and said plausibly: My friend is right! The secret path might come in handy at some point! Must be built!

Isshika and others who couldn't talk about Zhi Zhou could only helplessly accompany Zhi Zhou's waywardness.
