Just now, the wine swallowed the question asked by Uesugi Kiyoshi truthfully, and now Uesugi Kiyoshi is too lazy to make a mystery and hide it.

But this is a lot like scolding the street, and it's really a bit acute.

He can't say he's a time-traveler - his subconscious, he always feels like it's his biggest secret.

Say it, and something very ominous may happen.

It's not that he's hypocritical, or suspicious, but that there is something like a sixth sense in his mind, or a mental suggestion that reminds him of this all the time.

Be part of the world.

It's like you were born here.

So, he straightened his face.

"Speaking of which, I haven't introduced myself yet, but my name is Uesugi Kiyoshi."

"Swordsman, the new Yin Stream is exempt from all the legends, he is new to the transcendent, and he is currently the fourth collector of the Collectibles Association."

"Please advise, Your Excellency the Ghost King."

The wine swallowing boy frowned, and said impatiently, "You know I'm not asking you this. ”

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't mind that his attitude was a little bad, and reached out and pointed at the mural on the wall.

"I know what you want to ask, but I can't give you an answer."

"Everything here comes naturally after I awaken the transcendental, this is my dream, it is my world, they seem to stay here until I find him."

"The roster of monsters, the scroll of a hundred ghosts, the step of ascending to the gods."

"It's all like that."

"You speak to me very well, and I won't hide it from you, I can get power from here, but I am indeed human."

"I am not a ghost, nor a god."

"If you have to say it..."

Uesugi Kiyoshi recalled tonight's battle, slaying the demon king first, and then the gods, and the smile on his lips became confident and presumptuous.

Cultivation makes one's body stronger, and victory makes one's spirit stronger.

"I am the one who slays ghosts and gods!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi looked at the wine swallowing boy with serious eyes, and the words he said were loud, not just an answer, but like a grand wish.

Hearing this, the wine-swallowing boy was stunned for a moment.

Immediately after, to cover up his gaffe, he took a sip of wine.

After a long silence, he spoke faintly.

"That's familiar... Do you know who said that last time I heard this? ”

Without waiting for Uesugi Kiyoshi to speak, the wine-swallowing boy asked and answered himself.

"It's the first owner of the Hundred Ghost Scrolls behind you."

Hearing this, Uesugi Kiyoko was interested.

Without him asking, the drunken boy opened the conversation on his own.

"The ghosts and gods on the hundred ghost scrolls behind you, I am too familiar with them."

"During the Heian period, they were all subordinate to someone's subordinates - you heard it right, these youkai obeyed the orders of a human, and they were considered to be the nocturnal of the hundred ghosts under his command."

"You know, Kiyoshi Uesugi, my first reaction when I came here was..."

"Could it be that you are his reincarnation?"

"Although he was supposed to be a disillusioned person... But I always felt that kind of people didn't die so easily. ”

"With the same sword, you can use the ghost cut, and you can control the hellish hand of the great rivers and mountains, which is very pleasing to the monsters - that little girl with the soul of the demon sword Ji looks very dependent on you."

"And the Lord of the Tales of a Hundred Things..."

"At the beginning, she was a big monster who didn't pretend to anyone, a green lantern to accept the soul, that is the lord of the green lantern who dares to argue with the Yan Jun in the underworld, she is arrogant, and there are not many ghosts and gods who can enter her eyes."

"The owner of this Hundred Ghost Scroll is counted as one."

After drinking the wine, the wine-swallowing boy became more verbose, his eyes were a little blurry, and he didn't know whether he remembered the sword and sword shadow of the year, or the old friends who had been separated by yin and yang.

"I want to know his name."

Uesugi Kiyoshi asked bluntly.

He was very sure that he could not be the reincarnation of anyone—he could accept the idea of reincarnation, because he had crossed over.

He also has a past life.

Because of this, he clearly remembers that he was a work-study student in a prestigious school in his last life, and he studied a hard-working major such as communication engineering.

These pasts, vivid in our minds, as if they were yesterday, can never be false.

So he asked for a name.

Who knows, the face of the drunken boy suddenly became confused, and there was also a trace of pain.

"Name..."

"Yes, his name, I should remember..."

"But why can't I say it?"

“...”

"Someone can tamper with my memories?! No way, I can't forget that person! ”

"No one will forget him! That kind of strong man! ”

For some reason, the drunken boy suddenly turned hideous, he gasped heavily, and covered his head, like a drunken man.

The hoarse voice of the ghost king echoed in the empty mirage building, highlighting a bit of treacherous atmosphere.

"I won't forget, I won't forget!"

"Qijiao Mountain will not forget him, Black Night Mountain will not forget him, Arakawa will not forget him, and our great rivers and mountains will not forget!"

"That's the Lord of the Hundred Ghosts who led the Hundred Ghosts to travel at night, subdued Suzuka Mountain, and single-handedly slashed the Sword to meet the Demon Plain!"

"Who is he?!"

How is this man asking himself?

Uesugi Kiyoshi was suspicious in his heart, he didn't look like he was pretending to be crazy and stupid.

If he didn't want to say it, he could have shut up in the first place and be a mural on the wall, there was no need to come to such a play.

It's more like an outpouring of his true feelings.

That kind of suppressed pain can't be faked.

Then this thing is strange, listening to what the drunken boy said, the capital of his own life, this hundred ghost picture scrolls, its first owner, seems to be a famous figure in the Heian period, and can impress this ghost king.

But his name was forgotten by the drunken boy.

The memory of ghosts and gods is not so bad, and there must be hidden secrets in them.

Could it be... This body that I crossed over was once the reincarnation of a certain great person?

That doesn't make sense, how could that kind of person die at the hands of a small ghost thing, giving him a chance to take advantage of?

For a while, Uesugi Kiyoshi was full of doubts and thoughts--it is better not to have heard of these things, at least he is at peace.

Just as he was thinking, his mind suddenly moved, and he felt that someone was touching his dream mirror.

It felt amazing, like someone knocking on the door while you were at home.

There are transcendents knocking on the door and wanting to visit Uesugi Kiyoshi's dream mirror, this kind of thing is not difficult to do, at least Akutagawa Ryunosuke once gave Uesugi Kiyoshi "the method of visiting other people's dream mirrors".

As long as the two sides reach a consensus, when they met for the first time, Uesugi Kiyoshi was invited by Ryunosuke Akutagawa to the dream mirror and chatted for a long time.

"Someone's coming... At this time? ”

Uesugi Kiyoshi's heart moved, and his gaze looked through the void to observe the appearance of the person who touched his dream mirror.

“... It turned out to be him? ”

He frowned, deciding to receive the guests, he looked at the wine swallow, and said in a loud voice, "If you are drunk, you should go back to the wall and stay." ”

Uesugi Kiyoshi's attitude is not good, he holds a grudge, even if he knows, the mortals used to sacrifice are all the handiwork of Dong Wenyu, but the blood debt of the Yokota family must always be counted on the head of the wine swallowing boy.

He and this ghost king have never been friends.

It's just that he can't do anything about swallowing the boy with wine now, how to deal with this ghost king, and when he has thoroughly studied the hundred ghost picture scrolls, he is not in a hurry.

When the drunken boy heard his words, his face suddenly turned pale.

"Uesugi Kiyoshi, I'll tell you, you've listened."

"I don't remember his name, but I do know that he was one of the three masters of Genji, a swordsman who made a name for himself in Edo."

"If you're interested, find out for yourself..."

"If you find his name, please let me know, that kind of person, should not be forgotten."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Ghost King stood up, turned into a red light, flew into the wall, and turned into a lifelike portrait again.

It's just that the current portrait of wine swallowing has a little more sadness on his face.

"Genji Sanjie, Heian period?"

"I guess it has something to do with the battle to seal the ghosts and gods..."

"Damn, half of the people who talk like this are the most annoying..."

Although he thought so, Uesugi Kiyoshi shook his head helplessly, temporarily suppressed the doubt in his heart, and prepared to ask his friends.

Now, let's go and greet the guests.

With a casual wave of his hand, the gate of the mirage building opened, and the slaughtering scenery of Hyakki Town came into view.

walked out, and not long after, on the long street, a figure came over.

It was the "guest" that Uesugi Kiyoshi put in, a heroic figure he had never met, but he was like thunder.

The two of them were separated by a few meters, standing still on the commercial street of Hyakkicho, and there were too many secrets in the mirage building, and Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't want to invite someone in.

He was the first to speak.

"You're not dead... Hmph, it's really a good calculation, it deserves to be the master of Dongwenxiong, who borrowed the hands of me and the Collectibles Association to kill his own brother, what a ruthless means! ”

Uesugi Kiyoshi was expressionless, and his words were not very polite.

The person who came was dressed in a black kimono, with a somewhat wild beard, and his face did not look old, but his spirit was a little drooping.

This face, Uesugi Kiyoshi has seen.

In dreams, transcendents will maintain their original appearance, and this face cannot be faked.

The snake of Dongwen, Dongwenjue.

Dongwen Jue smiled softly, didn't mind Uesugi Kiyoshi's question, shook his head, and spoke softly.

"First time we met, Uesugi-kun, I'm in Hidekawa's mouth, but I've heard your name from time to time."

"You're wrong about one thing... I am indeed no longer in this world, and the person who is here to talk to you is just a wisp of my soul. ”

"I'm linking to the heroic soul of Mino pit viper Saito Michizo, I played a snake, and I used it for a lifetime, so I can naturally get some benefits."

"One of the abilities of the pit viper can keep my soul alive after death and stay in this world for a short period of time, so I sealed a wisp of my remnant soul in the Buwu seal, preparing to use this as a last resort to protect Maki."

"I've seen the battle tonight, and I'm glad I didn't use my back hand, so I can come and talk to you about it."

To be honest, Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't believe these words very much.

Dong Wenjue's words, if you believe it, it is difficult to have a good death.

He shook his head indifferently and said coldly: "When people die, they should go where the dead should go, I heard that there is an underworld and a hell in this world, and that is where you return." ”

"If you don't become a Buddha, you will cause trouble to others."

He doesn't have a good impression of Dong Wenjue, but he doesn't dislike it either, after all, he is a good friend of the master, and he also saved Rin's life, although calculating himself makes him very unhappy, but he won't come up and draw a knife at him.

However, if you let him treat Dong Wenjue like an elder, it will be difficult for him to be strong.

The smile on Dong Wenjue's face remained unchanged, and he took a step forward slightly, and his tone became a little more sincere.

"Buddhahood... I'll forget it, people like me really deserve to go to hell. ”

"Before that, though, I have something to talk to Uesugi-kun, and I'll cut it short, and I'll leave some time to say goodbye to Maki."

“...”

"Uesugi-kun, do you want to join the Tobunkai?"

Hearing this sudden and straightforward question, Uesugi Qingjian raised his eyebrows, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he pondered Dong Wenjue's thoughts.

"Maki promised me that I would help him behead Dong Wenyu, and he would give me half of the Dong Wen Society... President Dongwen, I don't think I want to regret it, right? ”

He turned his head with the thought in his heart, and he didn't stop talking, and asked this question-for-tat.

Dong Wenjue seemed to have expected him to say this, and shook his head again and again.

"No, Uesugi-kun, you're mistaken."

"I mean, all the Tobunkai."

"I willingly died at the hands of Ah Yu, for three purposes."

"First of all, I need an opportunity to cut off the stubborn diseases of the Dongwen Society, those unsightly businesses that break through the government's bottom line, the former Dongwen Club did not refuse, and now it can't be taboo."

"The government is looking at one aspect, but the biggest reason is that the environment where sin and desire are intertwined, it is too easy to breed believers in ghosts and gods, I have been busy with that kind of thing more than once, and the people below are bewitched by ghosts and gods to parasitize, and even take away, it is not uncommon, Ah Yu has been moved to the headquarters by the statue of the king of the ghost clan, this is the best example."

"Then, I want Maki to see my heart clearly - I will die after all, and I will definitely not die well, even if I don't die in the hands of Ah Yu, I will die in the hands of some opponent, I have already seen through this."

"Maki will have to face this situation sooner or later, so whether to go or stay, I want her to make her own choice."

"Finally... This is the exam question I gave you, Uesugi-kun, 100 points of the paper, you answered 150 points, I am very satisfied. ”

Dong Wenju's eyes softened as he looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi.

"Uesugi-kun, do you want to become the master of the Tobunkai, this will allow you to ascend to the sky in one step and save decades of hard work."

"In return, you just..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Kiyoshi Usugi.

"I'm sorry, thank you for your kindness, I decline."

Dong Wenjue was a little stunned, he frowned and said, "Don't you listen to me?" ”

Uesugi Kiyoshi shook his head disapprerovingly, and sighed: "It's not that I'm being amorous, your next words are probably like that." ”

"Marry Maki, give birth to a child who changes his surname to Towen, and promise to never abandon Maki, and then you can inherit your huge inheritance."

Looking at Dong Wenjue's expression, Uesugi Kiyoshi knew that he had guessed correctly.

"Dongwen senior--for Master's sake, I call you that."

"If you want to recruit a son-in-law, there are countless sons and daughters of wealthy families in Tokyo for you to choose from.

"I only want Maki to promise me half of what I have promised - you give it to me, everyone cooperates happily, and makes money in harmony, if you leave the means, you don't want to give it to me..."

Uesugi clears his eyes.

"Then I'll... Take it yourself. ”

Dong Wenjue was stunned for ten seconds before he came back to his senses.

He was a little incredulous, and said urgently: "I didn't mean to deceive you, and I don't need you to be involved, Uesugi-kun, I just want to find a husband for Maki who is worthy of entrusting him for life." ”

"Those big families are not in my consideration, I promise, when they confirm that I am dead, the Dongwen Society will become fat in other people's mouths, and those wealthy families will not let go of ducks in their mouths."

"You're different, Uesugi-kun, you don't have [family] as a bond, and you just need support, this is a win-win solution, why should you refuse."

Uesugi Kiyoki shook his head.

"Not to mention that you didn't consider Maki's idea - maybe it's because in your mind, choosing a husband for your daughter is a matter of course, but that's none of my business."

"I repeat, I refuse."

"Dongwen senior, I will find a girl I like as a lifelong partner to go on, but for now, it won't be Maki."

"Maybe marriage is just a tool for you to get support, but for me, it's different."

"We have different views, so there is no need to mention this question again."

"By the way..."

Uesugi Kiyoshi suddenly opened his eyes, and the gaze in his eyes burned as if there was a flame burning.

"I'm no longer the weak person who needs the help of others to face the ghosts and gods."

"I have a master, a friend, and a collectibles association to back me up."

"Tonight, it was the first time that I had organized such a big offensive as a link to raze Dong Wenyu's forces, and I would be able to do the same thing for the second time."

"I'm no more... Alone! ”

Uesugi Kiyoshi looked at Dong Wenjue without giving in.

"You said that the Dongwen Society would save me a few decades of struggle, I admit it."

"But, Dongwen senior, what you can do from scratch, I can naturally do it easily with a good hand."

"At the very least, I think... I'm no worse than you! ”

"You can reach the top of the Tokyo Metropolitan Pole, but the height I can reach may be higher than yours!"

Dong Wenjue was a little speechless and looked at Uesugi Qing for a long time, and then smiled.

"This temper is at your master's beh."

"That's it, the twisted melon is not sweet."

"In that case, I won't be too long-winded."

"I believe that your future will be extraordinary, but I don't know if it's a cheap little girl, Maki has no blessings, I don't force it."

"It's just..."

Dong Wenjue suddenly bowed ninety degrees and made a big salute.

"Uesugi-kun, I hope that if Maki is in trouble in the future, you can help her more - I only have such a daughter!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi accepted it calmly and nodded in agreement.

"Dongwen senior, don't worry."

"We have a tradition in the new yin... It's all very short! ”
