I formed the strongest swordsman group

(Orachioya? Ogatamaru? What kind of weird name is this? Are you playing tricks on me?)

(This is our code name to demonstrate the determination to "realize the evil spirits to achieve your goal.")

(...Well, this kind of thing is fine no matter what. This is a prison, how did you come in?)

(Of course, I walked in with a swagger.)

("Come in with a swagger"? There are many prison guards outside.)

(What's the big deal? As long as you kill all the prison guards who block the road, won't you walk in with a swagger?)

(…)

(Bai He, don’t show such a look. Didn’t you do similar things a month ago? Kill more than a dozen officials with your own strength.)

(…That’s because they’re going to kill my father.)

(What a pity... your desperate attempt failed in the end. Not only was it impossible to rescue Ling Zun, but you were also imprisoned.)

(…Shut up. You went to the ground with great difficulty, are you just coming to mock me?)

("Damnation"? No, no, how could it be! It would be the opposite! Baihe, we respect you very much! I admire your courage with Lingzun! It's amazing! If everyone could be like this, they could be like this! You father and son are as brave as you, I believe this world has long been transformed into the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.)

(... My father and I hoped to use this play to arouse the fighting spirit of the parents and fellow villagers and resist the atrocities of the surrogate officials. However...not to mention resisting the surrogate officials, when my father was captured by the evil slaves of the surrogate officials, they kept going. Standing in the distance, watching coldly...)

(Bai He, don’t resent those people, not everyone has the courage to “jump straight down from the cliff”.)

(…I want to hate those people, but my heart tells me: I hate the wrong person, and even hating these guys who stand by and watch will be useless. In the end, I am full of grief and anger, but I don’t know where to vent.)

(Ha ha……)

(why are you laughing?)

(Nothing, I just feel a little missed... Once upon a time, I had similar thoughts. I wanted to hate people, but I didn’t know who to hate; I wanted to kill people, but I didn’t know who to kill.)

(Ha, it seems that you are also a very story-provoking person.)

(My story is very long. If I have the chance in the future, I will tell you slowly. Time is tight now, so please let me get straight to the point - Baihe, do you want to join us and become a member of us?)

("Join you"? Who are you?)

(We are the righteous men of the law who punished the Party and used the laws of heaven and earth to punish evil spirits, so it is called "Faod Punishment". We strive to create a new world, and to create this ideal world, the most urgent task is to defeat the Edo Shogunate.)

(Down with... Edo Shogunate...? Hey, are you serious?)

(Of course it's serious! To achieve this goal, we are now attracting talents. And you, Baihe, you are the talents we want to be included in our army!)

(...This is really interesting. I am just a actor with a low status. How can I participate in the great cause of the collapse of the curtain?)

(No, Bai He, this is wrong! You are a talented talent! You have extraordinary talents! If you can get your help, I will be powered by thousands of people!)

(…)

(Of course, I won't force you to do things, I won't allow anyone under my command to have weak will. Next, I will open the prison door for you and give you a knife. If you want to be our partner, then Just pick up this knife and kill the acting official who ruined your family and let me see your determination. If you don’t have this intention, you can leave directly and we will never stop you. )

(…I have something I don’t know whether to say it or not.)

(Speaking.)

(When I witnessed my father being arrested, I was very scared... Even if I drew my sword in my hand, I couldn't reduce this fear. I was afraid of the shogunate, afraid of acting officials, afraid of prison cells, afraid of death... Until I easily killed more than a dozen people. After I was sent to the official, I realized that these seemingly terrible guys, but Er. At the same time, I also realized that compared to the lyrics of the play, the clanging sound of the sword can make the sound of the sword more powerful. Those wicked people listened to it. So... open the door and give me the knife. )

...

...

The voices of the past gradually faded...

The boy Shuitun felt that time had passed... His consciousness seemed to have spent several years with his memory.

In essence, everything happens only in the blink of an eye.

——I...abandon everything...

——I... finally got to this point...

——I...how can I... give up halfway...?

As soon as he thought of this, he gritted his teeth and leaned on the ground with a knife, and stood up with difficulty.

The moment he stood up, he suddenly felt a flash in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, he was shocked to find that the space under his feet had undergone tremendous changes!

It is no longer the Tensou Pavilion in Edo Castle, but a gorgeous theater!

"This is……?"

The boy Shuitun looked around and couldn't hide his surprise.

As the former Kabuki actor, he recognized at a glance - this is Shiju's hut! That is, a theater specially used to perform Kabuki!

There is a spacious stage under your feet.

There is a tall ceiling above my head.

Next to it is a flower path for the actors to enter the venue.

There are dense seats around.

Warm yellow candlelight fills the vision.

Without thinking about it, Shuitun Boy further discovered that following the venue under her feet, her and Aoden's clothing had undergone significant changes.

He saw himself wearing a black fire suit with white mountain patterns on his cuffs.

Qingdeng, opposite, was wearing a white plain clothes.

Both sets of clothes are from the play "Kashina Handibo Loyal Minister".

In this drama, the protagonist Yuryosuke is wearing this black suit and killing the treacherous minister Takashi Nao, who is wearing white suit.

"Kana Tadaoshi" and Yurinosuke Osei... This is his best play and character.

In order to perform this drama well, he tried hard to polish his martial arts.

Yuryosuke, who starred in him, always receives one-sided praise from the audience.

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something and looked around him with a blank expression.

In another flash, the seats that were originally empty were now full of audiences.

They cheered, screamed, shouted, and smiled.

A bunch of excitement or expectation gazes shot from all directions, focusing on him.

Cheers sounded in his ears… His eyes were filled with audiences… Everything was the same as before.

The boy Shuitun blinked his eyes in confusion first, then bent the corners of his mouth slightly, and the tips of his eyebrows trembled, revealing a complicated expression that seemed to be laughing but not laughing, and not crying.

Kabuki... I really miss it...

If the things that happened back then hadn't happened, I'm afraid I'm still working hard to "become the best actor" and "let my house call resound throughout the world."

So...I'm back...

I'm back!

I'm back on the stage!

As soon as he thought of this, he slowly spread his arms and posed for a stance—

...

...

The timing of the two of them getting up is hard to tell.

Qingdeng silently raised his upper body, then straightened his back and stood up straight.

The lungs are swollen... The head is dizzy... The muscles in the body are making silent protests...

Under the dual stimulation of "tirement" and "pain", the "strength" has long been exhausted, and only "perseverance" is left to support it!

Qing Deng stepped on his heels, posing in a middle position, preparing to start a new round of fierce fighting.

However, at this moment, a scene that he unexpectedly happened - the Shuitun boy opposite suddenly posed in a strange position.

He half-squatted, with a solemn expression.

Immediately afterwards, he heard him chanting in his skillful singing style:

"We are old judges and ministers. We are here to eliminate the old hatred for the lord. The lord takes his own life with this knife. Please use this knife to cut off the stomach with the ritual of a warrior!"

His eyes were empty, as if there was no focal length. Although he stared at Qingdeng directly, he seemed to be looking at someone else.

Qingdeng doesn’t like Kabuki and rarely goes to Shiju’s cottage to watch dramas.

But even though he didn't know Kabuki at all, he immediately realized that this was a famous line in "Ka Na Shouben Loyal Minister".

"Kana Handan's Loyal Minister" - one of the three famous works of Kabuki.

This work is based on the "Akaho Incident" which started with the Akaho Nagazuki, the lord of the Akaho vassal state, and ended with Oshima Inuikawa helping to avenge the Lord.

Because the Edo Shogunate explicitly prohibits real names from appearing in literary and artistic performances, the background of the play was changed to "Mukumachi Shogunate". Oshiwai Uenosuke, who avenged his revenge, was changed to "Oseki Yuryosuke", and Yoshira Uenosuke Change to "Gao Shizhi".

Thanks to the famous "Chicui Incident", the drama is very popular among the scholars and the people.

Lian Qingdeng, a person who rarely watches Kabuki, has also heard of the famous name of this drama and is aware of the famous lines and scenes inside.

The scene that Shuitun Boy just performed is the climax of the play.

Oseki Yuryosuke led a group of companions into Gao Shizhi's mansion, forcing Gao Shizhi to commit suicide and take revenge for the Lord.

Gao Shi directly reached out to take the knife handed by Yurinosuke Oseki, but did not commit suicide, but instead swung the knife to counterattack. The two immediately started a fierce battle.

In the end, Gao Shi Nai, who was not as skilled as others, was killed by Yuryosuke Oseki.

The strange behavior of Shuitun's boy confused Aoden.

He has experienced many battles and encountered this situation for the first time.

Is he tempting me to take a move?

Or...just crazy?

Before I could think about it, Shuitun Boy's voice sounded again:

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

"…Gao Shizhi, don't you commit suicide?"

In an instant, the atmosphere on the scene stagnated!

The boy Shuitun raised his gaze quietly, his eyes filled with strong hatred.

This hatred is so strong... It seems that Qing Deng is really the "Gao Shizhi" who killed his lord!

He released an unconcealed murderous intent and waved Sun Liujianyuan in his hand fiercely!

Seeing this, Qing Deng no longer thought about the other party’s abnormal situation - his whole mind regained his battle in front of him!

In an instant, the two people who were several meters apart the previous second turned the distance into zero in this second!

The sound of the blade cutting through the atmosphere once again dominates this space!

This is a battle without any beauty.

There is no superb move.

There is no exciting game.

The exhausted two people had no extra strength and could only use monotonous and boring horizontal and vertical chops, swinging their swords at each other again and again!

Sweat drops and blood beads shine in the sunlight.

The boy Shuitun's eyes were like two kaleidoscopes. Every time he blinked, the scene in front of him changed rapidly.

The venue under my feet is sometimes the dilapidated Tianshou Pavilion, and sometimes the Zhiju hut that is full of spectators.

Sometimes the swordsman's ruling sounded in his ears, sometimes noisy cheers and warm applause sounded.

His identity is sometimes the boy Shuiten who killed the party, and sometimes the loyal minister Yurinosuke.

Under the witness of countless audiences, he fought with "Gao Shizhi" on the stage! In exchange for a lot of cheers!

He can no longer tell where reality is, where illusion is.

He swung his knife selflessly and "performed" selflessly!

The long-lost performance, the long-lost joy is like thunder... At this moment, he is almost about to cry.

Yes...I am Yuryosuke Ose!

I must kill Gao Shizhi! Take revenge for the Lord!

Under the gaze of thousands of "audiences", on the spacious "stage", he shook the "black clothes" on his body and rushed towards "Gao Shizhi" with his sword! A fierce offensive unfolded in front of his sword!

This state of God-assisted change the situation of the battle.

For a moment, Qingdeng was suppressed and only the only way to resist was left.

However... strangely, when the boy Shuitun's behavior became more violent, Qingdeng's expression became calmer.

He closed his eyes half-stricken without any sorrow or joy, staring at each expression and movement of the other person, as if he was waiting for something.

For a moment... Although only for a moment, a unique light flashed in Qing Deng's eyes - this is a light that is very different from the "non-self-free realm"!

At a moment when there was nothing special, the boy Shuitun raised Sun Liujianyuan in his palm, took the stage shape, and prepared to slash Qing Deng's body.

Just at this moment, without any warning, Qing Deng's eyes, which were originally half-closed, suddenly widened!

At the same moment, his feet made a loud noise - he rushed towards the other side like teleportation!

The speed and the accuracy of the timing make the boy Shuitun cannot defend!

The boy Shuitun blinked hard, and the figure of "Gao Shizhi" filled his entire vision... Suddenly, the scene in front of him changed again.

The moment before, "Gao Shizhi" was still wearing the white plain clothes.

But in the next moment, the white clothes of "Gao Shizhi" turned into black fire-fighting clothes, with exquisite mountain patterns on the cuffs.

He was stunned and looked down quickly - the "black clothes" on his body turned into "white plain clothes".

Qingdeng becomes a loyal minister, "Great Star is helping Ryono"! And he became a treacherous minister, "Gao Shizhi"!

The unexpected identity intermodulation caused his brain to fall into a brief downtime.

No...I am the justice...I am the loyal minister...!

Before he could pull off the "white plain clothes" on his body, the "Oshiro Yurinosuke" in front of him had already stabbed the knife in his palm.

Puff!

Vairocana's blade penetrated his chest and stabbed it from the tip of the knife into the knife.

This is a blow from the medicine stone without a doctor.

This is a blow to decide the outcome!

【bite! 】

It's the system sound... In a moment, the long-lost system sounded in Qingdeng's mind:

【Scan to Talent】

I have been planning for the duel in this chapter for a long time.
