The ministers on the left and right lined up on both sides,
After them are the six ministers, and so on, arranged by rank.
And before the ‘Taizheng Minister’,
It is the title of ‘Emperor’.
The Emperor is a tablet,
It was respectfully enshrined behind the bamboo curtain.
Beside it, there will be a "corpse person" with the "blood of the Emperor" in his body waiting.
It is the Emperor who all the ministers kneel down to worship.
When you have something to ask the emperor for a reply,
The "corpse person" on the side will communicate with the emperor, get the emperor's instruction, and tell the emperor's answer.
Do you understand?
The lineage of emperors is ‘gods’, not a symbolic statement.
But that’s how it is.
They can use human bodies to convey their will.
But their true form,
No one can ever see it.
What can represent them is like the tablets of the emperors of the past in the Amaterasu Black Fire."
Ping Lingzi pointed at the imperial tablets surrounded by Amaterasu's black fire in the sky and said.
Su Wu thought about the scene she said,
I felt that scene was extremely weird!
He couldn't help but have more associations in his mind - after Jianzhen crossed to Dongliu Island, he completed the division of "yin and yang are separated, and humans and ghosts coexist". Is the final purpose of this division to facilitate the eternal family?
'Line of the Emperor'?
He used this to make deals with the emperor's lineage,
To facilitate yourself to complete certain things on Dongliu Island?!
"The emperor is a god, why do we need to change the lineage from generation to generation?" Su Wu asked again.
"It is never the emperor who changes.
It's the 'corpse person' beside the emperor.
The tablet of the contemporary emperor is 'Houyu Shanghuang', Houyu is the name of the person in the corpse position, the emperor has no name, the emperor is just the emperor." Looking into Su Wu's eyes, Ping Lingzi replied.
Su Wu frowned and didn't ask Ping Lingzi anything else.
Ping Lingzi observed his side face,
He was quiet and didn't say much.
After hearing Ping Lingzi's explanation, many chaotic thoughts appeared in his mind, and he felt that many clues obtained from Dongliu Island were vaguely connected and were about to be connected into a line.
But if we look into it carefully, we still can't grasp the little "aura" that connects all the clues.
"What exactly is it?" Su Wu murmured to himself.
at this time,
The dark hair hanging upside down in the sky is like a long river, winding and twisting, tightly entwining the "bloody moon".
Under the bleeding moon,
The shadow of Jianzhen, whose whole body was burning with raging fire, turned the smoke emitted by the fireworks that burned everything in him into arms, and also held the "bloody moon".
Amid the fire of Amaterasu that stretched across the sky and shaped like terrifying claws,
The consciousness of the dead gathered together to form a huge face, its eye sockets opened, and the flames in the eye sockets were burning.
The 'Emperor' of Dongliu Island looked at the shadow of Jianzhen in front of Zhaotai Temple and said sternly: "Those people are you going to use to satisfy Tsukuyomi's killing rules?
They are all my descendants——"
"For inhuman things like us,
Family ties and blood descendants can be easily discarded.
You are already nearly immortal,
What do we want future generations to do?”
The Jianzhen shadow on the ground slowly spoke.
He raised his eyes and stared at the blood moon in the sky, hanging above the heads of many wealthy families.
The huge human faces gathered in the fire of Amaterasu remained silent.
The endless long hair spreading from the head of Jianzhen's shadow on the ground suddenly shrank at this moment - the red-cassocked Jianzhen's shadow in the sky holding the moon also continued to twist and tighten the fireworks arms that burned everything it had brought!
That bloody moon, with the two forces entangled and tightened,
It's like an 'orange', being held tightly by someone with great strength.
The juice was squeezed out!
Wow!
Rolling streams of blood poured down from the ceiling!
In an instant, all the mansions and residences of noble families around the imperial palace were flooded and melted!
The blood-stained moonlight rages in the blood stream!
There are a large number of living people left in the mansions of those wealthy families.
Before they could react, they melted and died in the moonlight!
Blood flow surrounded the imperial palace and kept overturning!
The shadow of Jianzhen on the ground had a look of peace and tranquility on his face. He whispered to himself: "The public's bones were trampled in the streets, and the inner storehouse was burned to ashes..."
"The law of heaven is clear, and retribution will not be satisfactory."
"So many common people have died, now it's time for the rich and powerful to die..."
Crash--
The flow of blood was especially pouring into the mansions of noble families around the Imperial Palace.
The entire Heian Kyoto boiled with the blood flowing from the sky. After countless people reacted, they frantically stayed away from Heian Kyoto and kept escaping out!
Su Wu looked at the half-moon reading in shock, which was held by the shadow of the appraisal.
Watching the half-month reading being squeezed out of the fierce and mysterious charm,
Directly move around the Imperial Palace and clear out all the wealthy families who occupy 90% of the power and wealth of the entire Dongliu Island!
"Half Month Reading" was used by Jianzhen to squeeze out the charm with such brutal means.
It will inevitably lead to its inability to recover for a long time!
Jianzhen used this "unique" method to induce the "half month reading" murder pattern and put it into a period of silence. This method shocked Su Wu to the point of no return!
How can you still do this?!
You can use this method for monthly reading,
Can other spooks also use this method to release their murderous patterns in advance and let them fall into a period of silence later?
It's a pity that I don't have the power of authenticating myself to be able to squeeze out and unleash the strange murderous rules...
As the blood poured in, countless people died,
Su Wu saw that among the mansions and mansions that had been reduced to ruins, bits and pieces of consciousness of the dead were flying out.
The consciousnesses of the dead left behind by the deaths of countless people directly merged into a long gray river filled with the murmurs and wails of countless people. It flooded through the air and was instantly poured into the Amaterasu Black Fire!
After the Amaterasu Black Fire across the sky accommodated the long river of consciousness of the dead, it quickly began to shrink and retracted into the Imperial Palace, which was surrounded by ruins!
The long black hair that spread in the sky also shrank back at this time.
The shadow of Jian Zhen, whose whole body was burning with fire, and the 'bloody moon' whose killing pattern was released in advance, disappeared without a trace.
in a blink,
The sky has returned to calm.
All kinds of horrors and weirdness that were about to revive fell into silence once again under the operation of Jianzhen Shadow.
Su Wu and Heping Lingzi jumped off the roof of the nave,
A group of people left Zhaoti Temple and returned to Boqi Kingdom.
…
Boqi country.
In and around the rebuilt Inoue Family Courtyard, samurai wearing leather armor patrolled back and forth, keeping tight security.
The area of the entire courtyard has expanded nearly three times compared to its original size.
The courtyard has been completely built into a small fortress.
at this time,
In the middle courtyard of the Inoue family house,
A large number of warriors gathered here and formed a long queue.
At present, the Inoue family has captured the "Nangfune Kingdom", annihilated the Nagafune Kingdom defenders, and recruited their samurai for their own use.
Although the Inoue family actually controls the land of the two countries, the money and food in the storehouse are simply not enough to arm more than two thousand samurai. The ability to gather so many samurai under the Inoue family is entirely due to the fact that the head of the family, "Inoue Kiyoshi" is a ghost samurai who also possesses
A 'White Dragon Mask' with 'unbelievable' abilities.
With these two advantages,
Only 'Inoue Kiyoshi' could control and restrain his samurai, so that there was no rebellion among the samurai under his command for the time being.
However, this constraint cannot be maintained for long.
As for today,
There was already a small commotion among the warriors.
Fortunately, when this situation was about to start, the "family elder" who had been working for Genji returned to Boqi Kingdom and quickly suppressed the riot.
And I will reward the warriors who captured the Longship Kingdom today,
Give me armor, swords, and food!
Those with outstanding merits will be given manors.
Even - retainers who have made great contributions to the Inoue family will be given the opportunity to become Oni Samurai by the 'Old Royal Family - Inoue Canteruu'!
After the old man returned to Inoue's house,
As the Inoue family annexed the territories of both countries, their sphere of influence greatly increased, and their retainers also increased.
What used to be applicable to the five major classes of the Inoue family, namely, the "eldest family member", "general general", "general ashigaru", "head of the ashigaru", and "ashigaru", is no longer applicable today.
Therefore, the class was reclassified based on the head of the family, "Inoue Kiyoshi".
The Inoue family is divided into seven classes: "Oikawa elder", "Family elder", "Ministry general", "Servant general", "Ashigaru general", "Ashigaru head" and "Ashigaru".
The family elder "Inoue Canteru" who returned to the Inoue family was directly promoted to the "royal elder".
The position of 'family elder' is still vacant.
Even the position of 'General' was vacant.
The former generals "Yayyo" and "Takeda Nobuo" were demoted to generals due to their poor performance in the expedition against the Nagafune Kingdom. Each of them commanded thousands of samurai. This time the two seemed to be demoted, but in fact their real power was increased.
.
They used to be generals,
However, their respective subordinates did not even have a samurai team of 500 people.
The warriors who had received the rewards one by one walked around the long queue carrying heavy leather armor, brand new scabbards, swords with handles, bamboo spears, and heavy grain bags on their backs.
Wherever they passed, the warriors who were still queuing up to wait for their rewards all looked envious.
Someone was talking quietly in the queue.
"I killed three Longfeng Kingdom warriors in front of the car. I received a pair of chain armor, a tachi, and a katana directly. I was selected into the 'First Team'!"
"I only injured one enemy, so I won't get any reward, right?"
"Will not!
I heard that as long as the warriors participate in this war and do not run away from the battle, they will be rewarded with a piece of leather armor, a sword and a bag of grain.
It’s not like there’s nothing!”
"The master of the family is truly a kind and righteous gentleman!
The boss of the Yu family is also a kind general!"
"Who says it isn't?"
The mountain of supplies in the Central Courtyard quickly shrunk as the pages of the military merit book continued to turn.
In the main hall of the middle courtyard,
Nine warriors with outstanding merits who had been selected from different levels were sitting on their knees, looking at a picture scroll hanging on the wall opposite the door.
On the scroll, there is an illusory figure wrapped in light and fire.
Behind the shadow, golden cobras stand side by side, covering the head of the shadow, forming a golden canopy.
A circle of red sun light bursts out from the body of the virtual shadow and continues to radiate outward.
Facing this picture with unclear meaning,
The nine samurai have sworn to be loyal to the Inoue family forever. If one day they turn their backs on their master and ask for honor, they will be resurrected by the evil spirits in the future. As a result, they will die in the evil spirits' resurrection!
make a vow,
These nine warriors are qualified to be selected as 'ghost warriors'!
