Chapter 22: The Abe Family (1)

Cold, tired and sleepy, let's change this point first, and continue at noon!

Mt. Fuji on the outskirts of Tokyo is known as Japan's sacred mountain, and its summit is covered with snow all year round, making it one of Japan's most famous tourist attractions. At the northern foot of Mt. Fuji there are Fuji Five Lakes, and in the southeast of the lake, there are eight ponds, including the Wakiike Pond and the Kagami Pond, which are collectively called "Oshino Hakkai", and are connected to Lake Yamanaka, and the reflection of Mt. Fuji reflected in Lake Kawaguchi is said to be one of the wonders of Mt. Fuji.

Mt. Fuji is crowded with tourists, and Lake Kawaguchi is like a sparkling blue mirror, inlaid on Fuji, and the view is unforgettable.

At the southwestern foot of Mt. Fuji are the famous Shiraku Falls and Otoji Falls. The white waterfall has a drop of 26 meters, and is divided into more than ten thin streams from the rock wall, like countless white exercises falling from the sky, forming a rain curtain with a width of more than 13o meters, which is quite spectacular. The waterfall is like a giant pillar crashing down from a high place, the sound is like thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth.

There is a secluded valley next to the waterfall, which is very secluded and rarely visited, even if a tourist accidentally deviates from the main scenic spot and walks here, you will also see: private houses, idlers are not allowed to enter the sign. A fence more than three meters high separates the valley, and a huge iron gate locks the scenery inside the valley. Even if the unwilling tourists come here, they have to go back. If you want to sneak in, you will soon be expelled by a big man and given a stern warning, and then break into the private mansion and call the police.

You must know that the laws in Japan are very strict, and when you come out to play, you are nothing more than having fun, and no one wants to get into a lawsuit because of this. However, such a good location was actually built into a private residence, and many people were angry and speculated that which high-ranking official or rich man could have such a large private residence here, which was really envious of others.

Only a few people in Japan know that this is the seat of the Abe family, which has been passed down in Japan for thousands of years. It was also a blessed land given by the emperor at the beginning, and even if he was rich and powerful, he would not have been able to own such a large piece of land on the sacred mountain.

It is said that it is a mansion, in fact, it is a delicate manor, the grass and trees are forested, the winding paths are secluded, the birdsong is endless, the painting is flying clouds, the scales are one after another, the momentum can be described as magnificent and magnificent, it is really an elegant place.

It is rumored that the Abe family is descended from the Empress of Japan, and its origin began with the emperor of Emperor Xiaoyuan, the most famous figure for more than a thousand years is Abe Harumi, a generation of Yin-Yang Dao grandmasters, who have the ability to manipulate ghosts, gods and elves. Even today, it is still talked about by everyone, and there are even many film and television works that bring their legendary lives to the screen.

Since Abe Harumi, the Abe family has been a well-known family of onmyoji in Japan, divination, exorcism, rituals, and even the power of Shikigami to help the main family eliminate dissidents, and have played an extremely important role in various periods in Japan.

However, with the development of the times, the progress of science, and the fall of imperial power, for more than a thousand years, although the Abe family has been defeated, it no longer has the glory of the past, although it still has a certain influence in Japan, but it is far inferior to the past.

In order to survive, some of the children of the Abe family have even become the "thugs" of various underground forces in Japan, which makes them think of the supreme glory and glory of the Abe family during the period of the Holy Lord Abe.

Fortunately, this thousand-year-old manor on Mt. Fuji has always been the seat of the Abe family, and although various expenses are high, the Abe family, which has been overwhelmed, has wanted to resell it more than once, but in the end it has been retained as the last testimony of the glory of the Abe family. (1*6*$apnetbsp; At noon, the sun was shining, and the entire Abe house was shrouded in a bright sun, which seemed warm. Then, there seemed to be a strange mood in the villa, which made people feel depressed.

"Bang!" There was a loud bang in the main hall of the villa, mixed with a thunderous shout: "I must kill this person......"

The person who spoke was an old man of about sixty years, with a long body, a calm bearing, a very delicate and handsome appearance, his eyes were full of energy, he often showed a kind color, and his whole body naturally exuded a strong bookish atmosphere. Looking at his appearance, although he is old at this moment, he must have been a handsome man when he was a teenager.

This old man is none other than Shintaro Abe, the head of the Abe family's generation. At this moment, he was like a statue that had existed since ancient times, staring at the crowd in front of him without moving, his eyes fierce and almost hideous, destroying his elegant image.

There were a lot of people in the hall, including a big man dressed in black, men and women dressed in servant clothes, and children of the Abe family...... But none of them dared to look at Shintaro Abe at the moment, everyone was silent and pale, as if the end was coming.

With trembling hands, Shintaro Abe picked up a picture frame placed on the table, which showed a man of about thirty years old, looking very handsome and handsome, with a sunny smile on his face.

"Fujiwara, my son, why are you dead...... stretched out his finger and gently rubbed the smiling face of the man in the photo, the rigid outline of Abe Shintaro's face instantly became tender, but after a while, his eyes were full of tears, the man had tears and did not flick, but he did not reach the sad place, at this time, Abe Shintaro is no longer the yin and yang master with unpredictable abilities, but just a father who lost his beloved son and was heartbroken.

"Pass on my orders..."After mourning for a long time, the old tearful Shintaro Abe spoke, his voice weak and decisive: "Straighten out the team, at midnight today, I will personally lead the team to avenge Fujiwara......"

Before he finished speaking, at this moment, the closed door of the hall suddenly opened, and an old man walked in.

Shintaro Abe's expression changed when he saw this person. This old man has always been by his father's side, and he has never been half a step away from his father, how can he come here today? Could it be something important? He looked dazed and thoughtful, but quickly got up to meet him. The old man has watched himself grow up, and he has always regarded him as an elder, even if he is now the head of the family, he does not dare to be disrespectful to him.

The old man didn't do anything else, just walked up to him and whispered a few words to him, Shintaro Abe's face changed, and he waved his hand: "You all go down!" ”

After everyone breathed a sigh of relief and retreated, Shintaro Abe followed the old man to the back mountain, and as he walked, he couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Uncle Kihara, do you know what happened to my father's summoning of me?" ”

He couldn't help but be suspicious, since his father passed on the position of head of the family to him ten years ago, he no longer cared about the affairs of the family, and he always went to the back mountain every week to ask him for peace, and it was the first time in history that he took the initiative to summon himself like today.

But the old man only looked at him kindly, and did not speak. This can't help but make Shintaro Abe very disappointed, but he also knows that if Uncle Kihara doesn't say it, either he doesn't know at all, or he can't say it, even if he puts a knife on his neck, it won't help.

Houshan is a forbidden place for the Abe family, and it is also a place for Shintaro Abe's father to cultivate, except for the position of the head of the family, no one else is allowed to enter without permission.

Walking across a bluestone arch bridge, you can see that the mountains are clear and green, and in the depths of the verdant depths, a thatched cottage stands tall. The name of the hall "God knows", it is said that it was the retreat place of Abe Harumi back then, and even the name was chosen by him, and others do not know what it means. But everyone believes that by cultivating here, they can get the guidance and blessing of Abe Harumi, so as to obtain the power of mortal. Therefore, for hundreds of years, it has also become a place for families to retreat.

Tianzhitang is surrounded by the garden of the hundred-year-old acacia swaying and soft, the red maple dyed by the wall, the green vines are horizontal, raise the eyes to look, but see the green cane stems in the high sky, tangled and twisted, dense turns, the brilliant sunlight is separated from the outside, the small round leaves of the jagged shape on the vine are stacked layer upon layer, or vertical or oblique, or straight or rolled, in a thousand postures, among which you can see a few red maple leaves like fire, plus the golden light of the silk silk penetrates into the air, and adds the golden edge to these branches and leaves, which is extremely beautiful.

A clear spring runs around the courtyard wall on the east wall, and the morning mist rises like a veil, reflecting this place like a fairyland, which makes people feel refreshed and happy. Where the breeze goes, but see the green trees, strange flowers and different grasses compete to show their beauty, green vines entangle trees, strange stones are beautiful, winding paths are quiet, birdsong sounds, through the large lattice windows on all sides, faintly penetrate into the grass hall, as if making people merge in the infinite natural scenery.

The whole hall is furnished with extremely rare gilt wood furniture, famous paintings are hung on the four walls, and four octagonal palace lamps are hung on the beams, which does not lose the spirit of literature and beauty in the wealth. In a small and delicate incense burner on the middle desk, a faint wisp of green smoke rises, filling the room with a deep and elegant atmosphere.

The old man brought Shintaro Abe to the attic, stopped his steps, turned around and waited outside the cottage, motionless.

Shintaro Abe also knew Uncle Kihara's habits, so he stepped forward, gently pushed open the door made of fine sandalwood, and walked in respectfully.

I saw an old man sitting peacefully on a wooden couch, wearing a very old-fashioned robe, and the gray fabric looked as old as his person.

The old man's figure should have been very tall, but now he has shrunk like a shrimp, his white head is about to fall off, the wrinkles on his face are like the bark of ancient pines that have survived for hundreds of years, and the peeled mulberry seems to be engraved on his face, deep and haggard, and his sallow face has a very gloomy taste, like a dead man's face.

This is an old man who seems to be dying, old and unbearable, like a broken flower and a leaf in the bleak autumn wind, and there is a possibility of passing away at any time. But no matter who sees this old man, they can't help but have a very peculiar feeling, just like suddenly seeing a legendary long-extinct monster, even if he knows that he can't hurt others, it still makes people feel an indescribable mystery and strangeness.
