"The food of the night..."
Yuan Zhisheng chewed this word over and over again.
According to the family priest, this is a forbidden area where ghosts from all ages are imprisoned. He has sensed the gate of the Night Food Plain many times, but has never entered it. According to records, this is because his bloodline is not pure enough.
He is indeed an emperor, but compared to his ancestors, the purity of his bloodline is still far behind.
"A few days ago, I went to see Principal Angers." Yuan Zhisheng observed Inuyama He's expression, "When I met the principal, I happened to meet a senior."
Inuyama He's demeanor changed for an instant, but this did not escape Yuan's innocent gaze.
He knew in his heart that Uesugi Yue had been staying in Tokyo for so many years but had never been discovered by his family. It was obvious that someone was covering for him behind the scenes.
As the first-generation head of the Japan branch, Inuyama Ga has this ability.
"The head of the Inuyama family must have met that person more than once, right?" Yuan Zhisheng stopped covering up and went straight to the point.
"...I visited the shrine several times with my father when I was young. I was only a teenager at that time, and he was only in his early twenties."
"Oh?" Yuan Zhisheng thought, "What was he like when he was young?"
"Like everyone, he is a handsome man." Inuyama Ga recalled the scene in his memory. He still remembered that Uesugi Koshi was a somewhat feminine handsome man, and in this aspect he was somewhat similar to Minamoto Chiaki.
He was suddenly startled.
The memory images in my mind actually overlapped slightly with those in front of me, and their sitting postures and expressions were unexpectedly similar.
"A handsome man?" Yuan Zhisheng shook his head, "According to the calculations of the head of the Miyamoto family, the well containing the corpses can be drilled in forty-eight hours."
"That's two days."
Inuyama He's eyes were solemn, knowing that the day of decisive battle was in the not-too-distant future.
"Are you sure you want to kill the god?" he asked, "rather than capture it?"
"Why capture it? What is the use of that kind of thing to us?" Yuan Zhisheng said quietly, "Whether it is a holy corpse or a god, it is a joke played by King Bai on us, a cruel joke. It gives us the sacred
blood, but it is that kind of blood that creates generations of ghosts; it gives us the Holy Skeleton and guides us on the path to evolve into dragons. The result is that the White King blood descendants fight to the death for the Holy Skeleton, but the Holy Skeleton never truly gives us the blood.
No one has power or happiness. King Bai stood at the end of the ancient road to Huangquan, with a sarcastic sneer, watching people pray to it for power and happiness."
Inuyama Ga lowered his head and listened quietly.
"The reason why the family rejects ghosts so much is because ghosts are the most susceptible to being bewitched by holy bones. To some extent, those cold family rules for dealing with ghosts are not aimed at ghosts, but to curb the resurrection of gods. From the ancient times of the gods to today,
The blood of ghosts is shed for gods. Our enemy is not the monsters nor the generals, but our own destiny."
Yuan Zhisheng said word by word,
"We are all cursed people. We are inextricably linked to the White King from birth. The ghost of the White King is hidden in our blood. As long as the ghost of the White King is not wiped out, the family and Japan will always be
A building built on floating sand."
Inuyama Ga asked: "So are you ready to end this curse? No matter how much blood you shed for this, it won't be a pity. It doesn't matter even if this generation is all dead, even you will die on the battlefield.
?”
"Yes. I'm ready." Yuan Zhisheng sat in front of Inuyama He, his tall and tall figure was like a majestic mountain, his tone was calm and fearless, "It's not a pity to bleed, and it doesn't matter if you die, at least
The next generation will have a happier life than ours. As for me..."
Yuan Zhisheng paused and said, "I am the head of the family. When the day comes that the blood needs to be shed, I will be on the front line."
Inuyama He was silent for a long time. He felt the awe-inspiring determination from the young man in front of him.
In fact, he has never been very optimistic about the emperor of this generation of his family, let alone the choice of the eight Sheqi families to abandon the secret party and become independent.
In terms of bloodline, he is not as young as Uesugi Koshi back then, and even Uesugi Koshi back then couldn't defeat Angers on the frontal battlefield.
In terms of mental strategy, Yuan Zhisheng is not the best. The family has been able to prosper over the years, firstly because of the hard work of the previous generation of patriarchs, and secondly because of the protection of the secret party. The family has lost its nominal freedom, but it has indeed achieved safe and stable development.
time.
In this case, the family's betrayal of the Secret Party would have been a hasty choice.
The new leader has a young family background and has never shown the leadership style. He is more like a martial artist, or a sword, but the leader of the Sheqi Eight Families should be the one holding the sword, not the sword held by others.
.
But at this moment, Inuyama He suddenly felt that the young man in front of him might really be able to cut off the fate that had troubled his family for thousands of years.
"Are you all looking for me today just to ask about Uesugoshi?" Inuyama raised his head, his eyes bright.
He guessed that Yuan Zhisheng must have an extremely important mission when he came to him today.
"I have recently been thinking about who is the most trustworthy in the family, and after much thought, it fell on the head of the Inuyama family."
"It's a great honor for me!" Inuyama Ga was slightly surprised, "I wonder if you parents can tell me the reason?"
"The reason?" Yuan Zhisheng said with a wry smile, "This trust naturally falls on Principal Angers."
Inuyama was silent for a moment, never expecting it to be such a relationship.
"It sounds like parents have a good opinion of the principal." He asked tentatively.
"I don't resist Principal Cassel and Principal Angers." Yuan Zhi said calmly, "I admire Principal Angers very much."
"Then why did the patriarch allow the family to betray the Secret Party?" Inuyama raised his eyebrows.
"I also want to ask, why did Your Excellency, who has always been the least insistent on solving problems through war, choose to support it at that meeting?" Yuan Zhisheng asked.
Inuyama He was speechless.
At the meeting that decided whether the family would fight to the death with the Menggui, he unexpectedly chose to support it. From this perspective, he seemed to be no different from Yuan Zhisheng.
They unanimously skipped the topic.
"How does the head of the Inuyama family... view the previous generation of patriarchs?" Yuan Zhisheng was silent for a long time, and finally asked quietly.
Inuyama He's expression changed, his gaze suddenly changed when he looked at Yuan Zhisheng, and he said in a low voice: "Master, what does this mean?"
"Master Inuyama, you don't need to worry too much. You can speak frankly." Yuan Zhi said calmly, "The conversation we have today will not fall into the ears of a third person."
"His Excellency Tachibana Masamune has devoted his whole life to the family. Although he is not the leader of pioneering work, he is also the one who maintains its success." Inuyama Ga pondered, "Without Mr. Tachibana Masamune, it would be almost impossible for the family to unite as one. I'm afraid.
It’s still a time of civil strife.”
He was telling the truth. After the end of World War II, Angers supported him to become the head of the Japanese branch in 1946, but it stopped there. He failed to become the head of Uesugi Echigo.
The position of the head of the family has been vacant for decades. Because of the lack of blood from the three upper families, the lower five families refused to obey anyone. The eight Sheqi families have been in a state of separatist warfare.
It wasn't until Tachibana Masamune appeared, and even the two Minamoto brothers appeared one after another, that the family gradually became cohesive.
"I learned from senior Uesugoshi that he was supposed to be the last bloodline of the Shangsan family." Minamoto Chisheng said softly.
Inuyama He said silently: "The bloodline of the patriarch has been confirmed, and it is indeed the most precious royal blood of the family."
He knew exactly what Minamoto was alluding to. At the beginning, the family was extremely suspicious of the appearance of Tachibana Masamune and the Minamoto brothers, because Uesugi Koshi was known as the last member of the three families, but recently
In the past ten years, three descendants of the upper three families have appeared one after another.
Only with the bloodline verification from the priests, and the "royal bloodline" shown by Yuan Zhisheng later, all the family heads had to be convinced.
"Master Inuyama, aren't you curious about my origin?"
"Have you found any clues about your parents?"
"I had a long chat with Mr. Masamune yesterday and finally got some unexpected information." Yuan Zhisheng said expressionlessly, "According to what he said, I am actually a product of genetic engineering."
"Genetic engineering?" Inuyama He frowned, suddenly thought of something, and the child's eyes suddenly zoomed in.
When his father was still alive, he sighed many times late at night and worried about the future of the family. He also accidentally heard from his father that the elders of the family at that time had taken Uesugoshi's genes and sent them to Germany in an attempt to create a new emperor through technological means.
This replaces the "disobedient" Uesugoshi!
But I haven’t heard of the success of this plan, and it happened in the 1930s and 1940s, so 70 or 80 years have passed.
"If it's genetic engineering...then who is your father?" Inuyama Ga whispered.
"In terms of blood relationship, Uesugoshi should be considered my father."
Inuyama He never expected that the man in front of him would be so calm when talking about his blood father, as if he was just talking about a stranger.
This conversation lasted for up to an hour.
Inuyama Ga listened to Minamoto's story in shock.
In Minamoto's story, the previous patriarch, Mr. Masamune, turned out to be the source of great changes in the family in a sense. It was he who brought the Lenin, which caused it to sink to the bottom of the sea and become a sacrifice for the White King to awaken.
Brought the royal blood that the eight Sheqi families had been waiting for...
"The Point Guard Is Here"
By the end, Inuyama Ga could no longer remember how he walked out of this room.
After sending Inuyama He away, Yuan Zhisheng sat alone in the room for a long time before walking out of the room.
He arrived at the top of the rooftop, where Sakura was waiting for him for a long time.
"Did it go well?" Yuan Zhisheng asked softly.
Sakura nodded: "It went very well."
Yuan Zhisheng nodded and said nothing more.
He had actually deceived Inuyama Ga just now. There was no third person tonight. Under his arrangement, all their previous conversations had accidentally fallen into the ears of Masamune Tachibana.
Yuan Zhisheng looked up at the deep night sky, his eyes were as deep and unspeakable as the night sky.
Even Sakura didn't know what he was thinking at this moment.
