Under the violent wind and rain, the mountains and fields of Narukami Island were shrouded in darkness at the moment. Everything looked eerie and terrifying, as if ghosts were baring their teeth and claws. In the sky, dark clouds were densely covered with thunder and lightning, as if they were about to split the entire sky.
The violent raindrops fell on the trees, making a crackling sound.
The wind howled, and the rain blown up was as sharp as a blade. The trees in the mountains swayed with the strong wind, and the leaves rustled, as if they were shouting something.
The rain washed away the soil, and the splashing raindrops fell on the soil drop by drop, instantly turning into dust and dissipating in the sky.
In such apocalyptic weather, there was only one hut in the mountains with flickering lights, and everything around fell into deathly silence. Only the sound of heavy rain echoed in the mountains and fields, and the hearts of those who listened were numb.
"It's raining so hard, it's going to drown the fish." A man in red stood at the door, with his hands crossed on his chest, looking out at the pouring rain, a look of shock flashed across his face, and his lips parted lightly as he said.
"Hiiragi closed the door, and the rain came in." The scene inside the house was not much better than outside. There was only one oil lamp burning alone in the dark room, and the dim light shone on a capable old man.
The old man had long gray-white hair hanging down his shoulders. He was dressed in a dark purple robe that made him taller and taller. His withered face had an evil flavor, especially his eyes, which seemed to contain endless calculations.
"Okay." The young man named Hiirago Sato (appeared in Chapter 39) closed the door and said to the old man in the house: "Old man Kujo, if you don't stay at home in this weather, come here.
What are you here for?"
The old man called Mr. Kujo was none other than the head of the Kujo family, Kujo Takayuki. Hearing Sato Hiirago's words, he raised his head slightly, glanced over him, and then slowly closed his eyes: "What do you care about?
Well? Come on, let me warm up the wine. This damn weather is really not a place for people to stay. Drinking some wine will make you feel better."
After Kujo Takayuki said that, he threw the sake bottle to Sato Hiirago. He sat on the wooden chair nearby, closed his eyes and fell asleep, as if falling asleep.
"okay!"
Hiirago Sato took the wine pot and lit a fire in the fire pit in the house. After a while, the rich aroma of the wine came out. The fragrance filled the air and lingered in the house for a long time, making people intoxicated.
After Kujo Takayuki smelled the aroma of the wine, he opened his eyes, reached out and grabbed the wine glass on the table, picked up the bottle, filled himself up, raised his neck and drank it.
"Gulu."
After taking a sip of wine, a spicy feeling goes straight down the throat, like a burning flame, but it does not burn the throat. This feeling is extremely comfortable, and the warmth continues into the stomach and flows throughout the body.
After drinking the wine, Kujo Takayuki was a little drunk. He sighed and said to Sato Hiirago: "Why do I come here in this weather? It's because an evil ghost who should have gone to hell has come again.
It’s me.”
"Evil ghost?"
After hearing this, Sato Hiirago, who was holding a wine flask and preparing to pour wine for Kujo Takayuki, stopped when he heard these words and asked doubtfully: "Then we should ask a shrine maiden to get rid of the evil spirits."
"It's not the kind of evil ghost you think." Kujo Takayuki smiled and shook his head and said, not intending to talk too much to Sato Hiirago.
Just as Kujo Takayuki reached out to take the poured wine, suddenly, the closed door suddenly opened, and a strong wind blew past him, rolling up his clothes and making a sound.
"Brother Kujo, what you said is too harsh. What do you mean that an evil spirit has found you? Aren't we the best partners?" A slightly joking voice sounded at the door, and a middle-aged man stood at the door.
Hearing this voice, Kujo Takayuki was not surprised. He just frowned slightly and said, "You're here."
Sato Hiirago looked at the middle-aged man at the door in surprise and said, "Tong Shenjie, the head of the Tong family? Why are you here?"
The person who appeared at the door was Tong Shenjie, who had been missing for a long time in Inazuma. He appeared here at this time after being hunted by three ninja organizations: the Final Chapter, Azuma Shizhi, and Okukizu.
Tong Shenjie walked into the house, ignoring the shocked Sato Hiirago, but walked directly to the opposite side of Kujo Takayuki, looked at the shochu on the table, and said: "There is such a good liquor here, Kujo brother, brother, I will
You're welcome."
After saying that, he walked up to himself, picked up the soju on the table and drank it, ignoring Kujo Takayuki and Sato at all, as if these two people did not exist.
"You're not here just for a drink, what do you want to do?" Kujo Takayuki looked at Tong Shenjie sitting opposite with a smile, and said coldly, his eyes were quite sharp.
"Brother Kujo is indeed an open-minded person." Tong Shenjie looked at Kujo Takayuki with a smile, a cold light flashed deep in his eyes and said, "I'm here to continue to cooperate with you, brother. What do you think, are you interested in listening?"
