Chapter 1036: Requesting Ogata Ittosai's Body Fluids! [4200]

"..."

Boss Kiryu lowered his eyelids, his eyes flickered, and he remained silent for a long time.

Qing Deng stared at the old man, waiting for his reply, his eyes revealing a sharp and unyielding look.

He clearly remembered that when he first met Kinoshita Rin (the owner of the Calabash House and Awu's grandmother), she said in person that she had a deep friendship with Ogata Issei.

Since Kinoshita Rin and Ogata Issei are old friends, then Boss Kiryu, who is the first veteran of Huluya, is likely to also know Ogata Issei!

The old man's hesitant look made Qing Deng firm in his mind: He definitely knows something!
In Qing Deng's mind, Boss Kiryu has always been the human embodiment of the term "supernatural powers".

From combat to logistics, from paperwork to espionage, it seems that there is nothing in the world that he cannot do except giving birth to a child! The so-called "universal brick" is nothing more than this!

To be honest, compared to Ogata Issey, whom he had never met, Qing Deng felt that Boss Kiryu was more like an "immortal" - if he had not lived for a long time, Qing Deng could not imagine how a normal person could be proficient in so many subjects and skills?
It is because Qing Deng has 100% trust in Boss Kiryu that he turns to him for help at the first opportunity.

If Boss Kiryu is unwilling to help him, then he can only go directly to Rin Kinoshita.

No matter what, he must find out the whereabouts of Ogata Yoshisei!
The "confrontation" between the two lasted about 1 minute.

One minute later, Boss Kiryu sighed and looked regretful.

"Suffering from hemocough at such a young age, this... oh, what a trick of fate..."

Although Boss Kiryu does not have a deep friendship with Souji, he has always admired his talent.

He once told Qing Deng in private that when he was Souji's age, his strength was far inferior to hers.

After Qing Deng married Souji, Boss Kiryu and her developed a closer relationship, and they were considered half-relatives.

Therefore, it is not difficult to see that the regret and sadness he expressed were genuine and not false at all.

However, after lamenting Souji's misfortune, he closed his mouth again.

That strong look of hesitation still lingered on his cheeks.

Seeing that Boss Kiryu was still hesitating, Qing Deng pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and then slowly said:
"Boss Kiryu, Souji is both my wife and one of my earliest companions."

"When I was still a nobody, she was always by my side, accompanying me through life and death."

“I don’t know how much help I got from her.”

"And I...all this time, I have never been able to do anything for her."

"This time, it's my turn to help her!"

"No matter what the cost, I will save her!"

"This is my determination...please understand!"

Qing Deng's words caused Boss Kiryu's expression to change slightly.

Finally... the old man sighed as if accepting his fate, and his expression changed to bitterness:
"Now that you've said this, how can I refuse?"

After sighing like this, he took a deep breath and wiped away the hesitation on his cheeks:

"I do know where Ogata Ittosai is."

When these words were spoken, Qing Deng, who had been fully prepared mentally, could not help but be shocked.

Still alive...Ogata Ittosai is really still alive!

In a split second, he suppressed the shock in his heart and asked quickly:
"Boss Kiryu, is it true that Ogata Ittosai is an 'immortal' who possesses the 'power of immortality' as the rumors say?"

Boss Kiryu gave a wry smile:
"What are you doing... This should be a secret that no one knows, how come it has become known to everyone..."

At this point, Kiryu-sama no longer wanted to hide the truth and nodded happily:
"It's true."

"Ogata Ittosai is indeed an 'immortal' who possesses the 'power of immortality'."

"But he is different from the eight hundred bhikkhunis."

"The latter is a true 'immortal', while the 'power of immortality' possessed by the former is incomplete."

Before Qing Deng could ask back, the old man slowly stood up, turned around and walked into the mansion.

"Come in with me, we can talk while we pack."

Qing Deng nodded vigorously and followed.

As Boss Kiryu walked towards the bedroom on the second floor, he explained in detail:

"The information you know is probably correct."

"Eight hundred bhikkhunis really existed."

"She ate the 'mermaid flesh' from another world and became an immortal 'immortal'."

"After eight hundred years, she began to get tired of 'living'."

"So, she ended her life in a cave by unknown means."

"She should have disappeared into the long river of history, never to be seen again."

"However, more than eighty years ago, an ambitious man learned of the existence of the 'power of immortality' and attempted to use it to realize his ambition of 'enslaving the world'."

"Based on the few records in history books and ancient texts, he searched everywhere for the traces of the eight hundred bhikkhunis."

"Perhaps it was luck that allowed him to find the bodies of the eight hundred nuns."

"He used the corpses of eight hundred nuns as raw materials to conduct extensive research on the 'power of immortality'."

"For the sake of convenience, this rogue and his followers will be referred to as... 'Xiu Dang'."

"The brutality of the 'Xiu Party' is appalling, and they have completely disregarded human life and moral principles."

"They are kidnapping people everywhere to use as experimental materials."

"There was even a small island that became their testing ground. The entire island's inhabitants were infected by the mutated 'power of immortality' and turned into mindless monsters that could not be killed no matter how hard they tried."

"Fortunately, Ogata Ittosai showed up."

"I will skip the specific reasons for now."

"In short, Ogata Ittosai and the 'Hidetō' became enemies, and the two sides started a duel to the death."

"After a series of deadly battles, Ogata Ittosai succeeded in destroying the 'Hide Party'."

"However, in the process of fighting against the 'Xiu Party', he was unfortunately infected by the 'Power of Immortality'."

"As far as common sense is concerned, such a violent 'power of immortality' is far beyond the limit that the human body can withstand."

"However, Ogata Ittosai relied on his strong physique and a bit of luck to successfully absorb the 'power of immortality' in his body and became half 'immortal'."

"The reason why he is called half 'immortal' is because the 'immortal power' he absorbed is incomplete."

"Although it cannot make people immortal, it can greatly slow down the aging of the body and greatly enhance the physical strength, especially the recovery ability."

"In short, after absorbing this incomplete 'power of immortality', Ogata Ittosai's vitality became extremely strong, and ordinary injuries could not take his life."

"However, he will still die if he suffers severe injuries such as decapitation or piercing the heart."

"After destroying the 'Hide Party', Ogata Ittosai realized that the 'power of immortality' was a terrible disaster. Not only was it difficult to control, but it was also very easy to mutate, leading to irreversible and severe consequences."

"Therefore, he consciously took on the mission of eradicating the 'power of immortality'."

"He fought from Kyoto to Ezo, and from Ezo to Ryukyu, wiping out the remnants of the 'Hide Party' everywhere, doing his best to eliminate the influence of the 'Immortal Power'."

"The island that I just mentioned that was plagued by the 'Undying Power' was cleared by him personally."

"'Undead' can only be killed by 'Undead' - only Ogata Ittosai, who also possesses the 'power of immortality', can kill the monsters on the island."

"The above is the story of Ogata Ittosai."

"Qing Deng, if you want to look for 'mermaid flesh', it will be a futile effort."

"The example of the eight hundred bhikkhunis has already shown us the suffering of eternal life."

"Regardless of whether Xiao Si is willing to become an immortal, 'mermaid meat' is an extremely mysterious thing from another world. You can't find it just because you want to."

"Not to mention me, I'm afraid even Ogata himself doesn't know the exact whereabouts of 'mermaid meat'."

"If you want to cure Souji, you don't have to look for 'mermaid meat' - as long as you get Ogata Ittosai's blood, there will be hope that Souji will be cured!"

"The bodily fluids of the 'undead' contain a small amount of 'immortality'." "Although the content is quite weak, it is enough to transform a person's body."

"Ogata Ittosai is not a complete 'immortal', so the 'immortal power' in his body fluids is even thinner."

"And this is just right for treating Xiao Si."

"Anyway, our goal is not to turn Xiao Si into an 'immortal', but to restore her health."

"From a certain perspective, Ogata Ittosai's body fluids are truly a treasure from heaven and earth."

"Because it only contains a very small amount of 'immortality power', even ordinary people can easily absorb it and gain the miraculous effect of prolonging life."

"Ogata Ittosai's wife ingests his bodily fluids every day."

"Although her physique and recovery ability have not improved significantly, her body's aging rate has slowed down significantly, and her physical health is far better than that of ordinary people."

"His wife has never been sick in recent decades."

"From this, it can be seen that Ogata Ittosai's body fluids do have the effect of curing diseases."

Body fluids... After hearing the words "Ogata's wife consumes his body fluids every day", Qing Deng couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Even if one used his ass to think, one could tell that what his wife drank was definitely not blood.

——They drink it every day... This couple has so much energy.

When the words were about to come out of his mouth, Qing Deng forced himself to hold back the complaint and continued to listen attentively.

"In short, if we let Koji drink Ogata Ittosai's blood, there's hope that she will recover."

"With the overwhelming power contained in the 'Power of Immortality', it is impossible that it cannot do anything to a mere cough of blood."

"It can even heal horrific injuries of torn limbs in an instant. If you say it can't cure hemocough, I definitely don't believe it."

At the end, perhaps in order to ease the atmosphere, Mr. Kiryu deliberately changed his tone to a half-joking one.

However, Qing Deng was lost in thought and had no time to respond.

After a while, he spoke quietly:

"Boss Kiryu, according to what you said, the 'power of immortality' is not a good thing."

"Even the unrivaled Ogata Ittosai was only able to absorb the 'power of immortality' with the blessing of good luck."

"It's just my intuition, but I feel like if I want to cure Souji, I can't just drink one or two drops of blood and be done with it."

"Low levels are one thing, but high levels are another."

"If Koji has to drink a lot of Ogata Ittosai's blood to heal his body...isn't there really any risk?"

"Also, from your description just now, Ogata Ittosai holds a very cautious attitude towards the 'power of immortality'."

"In order to minimize the existence and influence of the 'Undying Power', he did not hesitate to fight wars all over the country."

"Letting Souji drink his blood is equivalent to spreading the 'power of immortality'."

"Will a person like him really allow another person with the 'power of immortality' to appear in this world?"

"Will he really lend his blood?"

Qing Deng's series of questions hit the nail on the head, causing Boss Kiryu to smile bitterly.

"Well..."

The old man shook his head and spread his hands.

"I don't know either. So, I have to go there myself and try to persuade him."

As they were talking to this, the master and the disciple happened to walk into the bedroom.

Boss Kiryu walked quickly to the closet and took out a bag and some clothes.

He casually stuffed the clothes into the bag, tied it tightly, and then casually threw the bulging bag over his left shoulder.

Seeing this, Qing Deng asked:
"Boss Kiryu, are you going to look for Ogata Ittosai?"

The old man nodded.

Qing Deng asked again:

"Is Ogata Ittosai's retreat far from here?"

Kiryu Boss curled up his lips, revealing a meaningful smile:
"No, very close, closer than you can imagine—he lives in Kyoto."

The unexpected answer made Qing Deng stand there in a daze, his pupils shrinking slightly.

"Ogata Ittosai lives in Kyoto?!"

Out of shock, he unconsciously raised his voice.

He originally thought that a master like Ogata Ittosai would most likely live in places far away from the world, such as deep mountains and dense forests.

Unexpectedly, the other party was the type who "lived in seclusion"! He lived right under his nose!
At this moment, Qing Deng suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but complain:
"I heard the rumor that Ogata Ittosai lived in seclusion in Kyoto a long time ago."

"After all this time, it turns out that the rumor is true."

"Not only is the rumor that 'Ogata Ittosai is an immortal' true, but even the rumor that 'Ogata Ittosai lives in Kyoto' is true - his seclusion is too crude! All the important information has been exposed!"

Faced with Qing Deng's sharp complaints, Boss Kiryu burst out laughing.

Judging from his expression, he also seemed to want to complain about Ogata Ittosai's so-called "seclusion".

"Qing Deng, time is running out, let's get going quickly."

As he spoke, he walked towards the entrance.

Qing Deng composed himself and followed closely behind.

This trip to Osaka went more smoothly than he expected.

Boss Kiryu really did know Ogata Ittosai and knew where he lived.

If all goes well... he might meet the legendary "Eternal Sword Saint" next!

When he thought of this, Qing Deng felt his heart beat faster.

As a fellow swordsman, how could he not want to meet the "Eternal Sword Saint"?

At this time, Mr. Kiryu, who was leading the way, suddenly spoke:

"Qing Deng, let me be in charge of the negotiation with Ogata Ittosai."

"Go back to Otsu first and wait for my news."

"To me, Xiao Si is the wife of my beloved disciple."

"I will certainly not sit idly by and do nothing about her condition."

“Even if the process is tortuous, I will do my best to convince the other party.”

"My thoughts are the same as yours - I will spare no effort as long as Xiao Si can be cured!"

That night--

Kyoto, a Japanese confectionery shop——

Ta-ta, ta-ta, ta-ta, ta-ta…

The sound of abacus banging on the abacus is endless.

Goro Komaki sat behind the counter, silently tapping on the abacus.

Asking for a monthly ticket! Please vote for recommendation! (Leopard head crying.jpg)

Thanks to a reminder from a book friend, Leopard suddenly remembered that Kinoshita Lin said in person that she knew Ogata Issey.

Alas, that's the downside of long serials without an outline, these side plots are always forgotten.
