Chapter 923: The Fujiwara Family's Mission

Following Fujiwara Daishi all the way to his residence, Xiao Tian looked at the houses in front of him, whether it was the size of the land area or the selection of materials, which were obviously beyond the surrounding buildings, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the power in his hands was different.

After a simple lunch, the three of them came to Fujiwara Akita's house under the leadership of this special person, which looked very dilapidated from the outside, and was more than one grade worse than Fujiwara Daishi's residence.

But fortunately, the layout inside is quite tidy, but there are only two rooms that can live in people, and the rest is a room with miscellaneous items, and a living room that is not very spacious, and there are rooms that can live on both sides.

The guide who led Xiao Tian and the others here said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I can't provide a separate room for each of the three of you, but our clan patriarch specially asked me to tell you that if it is too crowded, you can separate one person to live in his residence." ”

Addison Claire wanted to reply that there was no need to bother, she could live in a room with Xiang Yiting, but then she thought of her somewhat terrifying image, and the other party was not necessarily willing to live with her, so she swallowed her words back.

Xiang Yiting naturally didn't know what Addison Claire was thinking at this time, and the latter was wearing sunglasses, so she couldn't find anything in her eyes.

But she still took Addison Claire's arm very naturally and said, "It's good that the two of us live together, don't bother!"

These words gave Addison Claire a feeling of great relief, feeling that her previous anxiety about Xiang Yiting's critical illness did not fall into the void.

When the person who led the way heard this answer, he naturally had no objections, and after simply taking the three of them around, he quickly said goodbye and left, reporting the situation to Fujiwara Daishi.

……

Fujiwara Daishi's residence was now home to six or seven well-known people in the village, and each of them was older than him in terms of age alone.

After listening to the report of the clansmen, Fujiwara Daishi waved his hand quietly to signal that he could go down, and then his eyes fell on the faces of the people around him, and asked lightly: "Seniors, now you can speak freely." ”

As soon as the words fell, an old man with half-white hair said: "Patriarch, with all due respect, those three people today are very strange, so you should be vigilant." ”

"What's so weird?" asked Fujiwara anyway, trying to find out what he had overlooked.

Soon, the old man stood up and said, "Everyone must have seen the previous scene, and those three people didn't react to our Star Scepter, isn't that enough to explain the problem?"

"At that time, the patriarch was not targeting those three people, even if there was no big reaction, it would be natural, right?" A man of similar age to the old man was the first to speak and sing the opposite tune.

"You're right!"

The old man admitted the other party's statement unhurriedly, and then suddenly changed the conversation and said: "But don't forget, it's the Star Scepter, even if it doesn't show a big reaction, but it hasn't been affected at all, do you think it's possible?"

The person who spoke the opposite tone before wanted to respond immediately, but the old man's statement was so reasonable and well-founded that he couldn't find a place to refute if he wanted to, so he had to be quiet, watching his nose and nose, and waiting for others to speak.

After a while, Fujiwara nodded in agreement with the old man's statement, and then asked, "According to the opinions of the seniors, what will be the origin of those three people?"

The old man pondered for a long time, took a sip of the tea on the table, and began to explain his inferences one by one.

"First of all, I think those three people must not be some lost travelers, this statement is untenable!"

After a while, someone immediately asked, "Do you think those three people will be undercover agents sent by the government?"

"Probably not!"

The old man shook his head: "Because of our old guys' insistence over the years, the official plan for us here has long been dead hearted, and we are left to fend for ourselves." ”

"As long as we old fellows die, the future generations may not necessarily insist on staying here, you see those very tempting conditions, don't they just want the younger generation to go out? As long as the officials are patient, they can always wait for that day. ”

After saying this, the faces of the people around him were all difficult to see, although the old man said all the truth, but this truth was obviously not so easy to accept.

After a long silence, another person sighed and said in a sad tone: "Now the young people of the clan are afraid that they have been looking forward to our death for a long time. ”

Hearing this, the old man nodded approvingly and said, "This is also a matter of no choice, after all, except for us, the young people in the clan no longer know what we are protecting!"

Regarding the protection in the old man's mouth, it is actually the treasure left by the Fujiwara family, the life-killing demon knife, which is hidden in the ancient well in the village.

The Demon Sword was once the sword of the Fujiwara family, and it is said that it was named because it was stained with the blood of tens of thousands of people.

On the eve of the imminent decline of the Fujiwara family, the then patriarch of the Fujiwara family left a mission to order future generations to guard the demon sword, waiting for the clansmen who can awaken the demon sword, and reinvigorate the family's prestige with the sword in hand.

The awakening of the demon knife is also very simple, as long as the blood drips on it, if the conditions for awakening the demon knife are met, then the demon knife will spontaneously react and recognize him as its master.

Over the years, every baby born in the village will be secretly released a little blood, and then someone will go to try to awaken the sword, but until now, decades have passed, and the Fujiwara family has developed for several generations, and still has not been able to find someone who meets the conditions for awakening the demon sword.

And in order to prevent the news from spreading, the matter of the demon sword hiding in the ancient well is limited to the high-level of the Fujiwara family, and only a small range of people have the right to know, and the younger generation does not know about it.

……

The topic in front of him was deviated, and Fujiwara Daishi hurriedly beckoned and said, "If those three people are not official people, what do you seniors think they are here for?"

As soon as these words came out, the old people on both sides of the long table, one by one, you look at me, I look at you, and no one can say why.

But to say that Xiao Tian and the others had no problem, but they felt that it was unlikely, so they had to put their eyes on Fujiwara Daishi's face again, waiting for the current clan leader, who was younger than everyone else, to express his opinion.

Fujiwara Daishi waited for a moment, and no one spoke, so he said lightly: "I have a bold guess, but there is nothing specific to corroborate, and saying it is likely to cause internal instability in us, I hope you seniors are prepared." ”

The old people on both sides couldn't help but be shocked, and they all felt a bad feeling......
