60. The Eight Families of Snakes and Fierce Ghosts

In the ancestral hall of the Eight Clans, the high-ranking and elite gathered together were watching the live game broadcast of the head of the Uesugi family.

It is not very appropriate to use "unscrupulous" to describe her actions, and a more appropriate word is "as if no one is around".

The head of the Uesugi family is a very young girl.

Although she covered her face with a black veil and wore a men's black pattern of Fuhaori, the wide kimono could not hide the curves of her body.

Exquisitely slender, obviously the figure of a young girl.

At first, she was honest, sitting there not like a dignified head of the house, but like a female student waiting for the teacher to come to class.

Because the meeting was postponed due to the absence of the head of the Gen family, she took out the controller of the game console from the kimono with lightning speed, and then the projection equipment in the main hall was activated, and the head of the Uesugi family quickly entered the game to select the characters.

After only ten seconds, the other family heads and the hundreds of people below still didn't understand what was going on, and the sound of "fight" had already resounded in the main hall, and the battle began.

Maybe in her opinion, since she has to wait, then hurry up and play two, as for the occasion or ancestors or something, it is not a problem at all.

If she could, she might have pulled the ancestor solo enshrined on the tablet for a game.

The scene was a little awkward.

This is an important gathering of the underworld family, the heads of the three major surnames and five small surnames are gathered, and it is held in the shrine dedicated to the ancestors' spiritual seats, and the atmosphere is extremely solemn and solemn.

Everyone did their best to show the ritual of the occasion, sitting on their heels with their knees bent and their hands pressed to their knees, their waists straight.

However, the other party is also the head of the family, and the patriarch sits on the main seat, and it is difficult to stop the other party out loud.

Yuan Zhisheng frowned with a little headache.

"Eri, let's stop for a moment."

The tone in which he spoke to the head of the Uesugi family was not harsh, but rather like coaxing a child, like an eldest brother talking to his younger sister, with a little bit of sternness.

"I'll play with you when I'm free."

Gen Zhisheng is probably the only one in the entire Eight Snake Families who will make the head of the Uesugi family obedient.

She nodded obediently, hid the handle in the wide vibrating sleeve, sat down obediently, and returned to the original schoolgirl appearance.

The embarrassing scene in the main hall is finally over.

Gen Zhisheng stood in his place and bowed, his kimono and etiquette were meticulous: "Sorry for being late, I have already checked the front and back of the shrine and confirmed the safety matters." ”

After a few seconds of silence, Mr. Masamune was the first to applaud, followed by everyone.

"It's good to come, sit down, it's really hard for you to check the safety matters in person on this windy and rainy day." Mr. Masamune said.

Gen Zhisheng said that this was what he should do, and then sat back in his seat.

The entire main hall was suddenly extremely quiet, and it was raining lightly outside, and the sound of the rain sounded through the roof of the shrine.

Mr. Masamune, who was sitting on the main seat, straightened out his kimono, and his eyes were cloudy like a deep pool, and the blade was thick in it, hidden but not visible.

"I'm sure you've all heard about last night."

"I have been the patriarch for ten years, and I have been fortunate to know you, to be recognized by you, and to bear this history with you, and I have lived without regrets over the years."

"Many of you here know that I was not born in Japan, so it is an unexpected honor for me to be elected as my elder."

"So in the past ten years, I have worked diligently, although I have occasionally neglected my duties and lost a lot of territory, but I have finally kept the ancestral teachings of the Eight Snake Families."

"We have never forgotten our creed, the eight families of the snake have survived since ancient times, that is, they must guard the gate of the dragon, and never allow the dragon clan to be resurrected in the world!"

Speaking of this, the people around him were excited, and some young people were enthusiastic about it, eager to throw their heads and spill their blood on the spot, and donate their lives for the snake family.

Only a few of the old guys were silent, and combined with what Mr. Masamune said at the beginning, they obviously had something in mind.

Mr. Masamune's eyes shot two essences, as well as a sharp edge that was diametrically opposed to his old state: "However, just last night, our Director of the Executive Bureau, Gen Zhisheng, witnessed the awakening of an ancient dragon while carrying out the task of cleaning up the fierce ghosts!" ”

There was a commotion in the main hall, and everyone looked panicked and looked a little overwhelmed.

For a long time, although the eight families of the snake clan have taken dragon slaying as their own responsibility, but in the land of the Japanese island country of projectiles, there is no dragon recovery at all, so the most these so-called elites usually do is to encircle and suppress the fierce ghosts, as well as manage the business of the gang.

This life has numbed their fighting spirit, and although the dragon's blood in their bodies reminds them of the dragon's existence all the time, many of them regard it as a symbol of nobility.

It's like an aristocracy in the Edo period.

At this time, he suddenly told them: the time has come to fulfill the mission, and it is time to sacrifice his life for the cause of dragon slaying.

Most of them don't rush into battle with swords, but pack up and run.

The so-called hybrids are sometimes less fleshy than the traditional samurai.

Mr. Masamune clapped his hands to quell the commotion, and continued, "A dragon, a primordial species, or even a dragon king lurked in Tokyo, but not only did we not stop its revival, but we also failed to stop it from harming our ancestors. ”

"The moment it woke up, a hundred miles in a radius turned into a sea of fire, and one-third of the Chiyoda district fell, and if it weren't for the distance, even His Majesty the Emperor would have been buried in this disaster."

"This incident is my dereliction of duty."

As he spoke, Mr. Masamune stood up and bowed deeply.

The elders of the other families immediately bowed down, and the juniors followed suit.

The Eight Families of Snake Qi pursued a very ancient family system, and the position of the patriarch was unshakable.

Now Mr. Masamune actually gave them a big salute, no matter what the purpose of this salute was, it was not something they could afford to bear.

Mr. Masamune straightened up: "Although I am derelict in my duties, I still hold the position of the head of the family, this incident is special, and the members of the Eight Snake Families must obey the order." ”

"The Emperor and the Prime Minister have sealed off the territory, and even if we dig three feet into the ground on this trip, we must find each other out, kill them to comfort our ancestors, and make up for the mistakes we made due to negligence!"

The rest of the family heads leaned down in unison: "Yes! ”

After the meeting, the people of the five major families dispersed together, and only the eldest patriarch was left in the main hall, Gen Zhisheng, and the head of the Uesugi family.

Eri Yi pulled the corner of Genjisheng's clothes and sat on the side, Genjisheng rubbed her head and connected her to the monitor.

The sound of fists hitting flesh sounded in the main hall again.

Yuan Zhisheng sat opposite the eldest family and poured a cup of tea for each other at the same time.

The Japanese tea ceremony originated in Chaozhou, Guangdong, but it was unusual, and Yuan Zhisheng also dabbled in it.

With a light cup of tea, Tachibana Masamune asked, "How is Sakura's child?" ”

Yuan Zhisheng carefully grinds the tea, which is a process that tests patience: "I woke up before I came, and the doctor didn't find anything wrong, it should just be a coma caused by the dragon king's coercion." ”

"Dragon King, ......"

Tachibana Masamune sighed, to be honest, if it wasn't for the majesty of déjà vu he had experienced last night, he wouldn't have believed that there would be a resurgence of the Dragon King in Tokyo.

After all, the dragons that have been revived here from ancient times to the present day are extremely rare, even the next generation.

Japan, after all, is a small country.

Tachibana Masamune drank the tea and praised instead: "You can still retreat in the face of the dragon king, childish, you have grown up." ”

Yuan Zhisheng's movements paused imperceptibly: "It's all because you teach well." ”

He didn't choose to tell Gu Bei about it, because it sounded too fantastical.

The resuscitated dragon king was pressed on the head for half an hour by a person who didn't know if it was a half-blood, and then he was knocked unconscious, who would believe this kind of thing?

And the resurgence of the Dragon King is already an unbearable event for the Eight Snake Families, if there is another mysterious character with an unknown heel but enough to match the Dragon King at this time, the Eight Snake Families are afraid that they will not be fried.

In Yuan Zhisheng's concept, Gu Bei and the Dragon King are on opposite sides, and they have no threat to the Eight Snake Families at all, but the Eight Snake Families will not think so.

In the perception of the left, this potential threat is nipped in the bud.

Although Mr. Masamune is to some extent the adoptive father of Genji, Genjisheng is the only one who does not inherit Mr. Masamune's concept.

So Yuan Zhisheng chose to hide Gu Bei's existence, and lied that he escaped from the Dragon King with Sakura.

As for the mysterious person who saved him, if he had the fate to meet again, Yuan Zhisheng would thank him in person.

The two silently tasted tea until the tea bottomed out, and then put down the teacup.

Yuan Zhisheng stood up and beckoned to Eri: "Then I'll leave first, there is still a lot of work in the Executive Board." ”

Tachibana Masamune nodded and said, "Let's accompany Eri more, although ...... But when the dragon king is found, it is inevitable that she will be asked to contribute. ”

Yuan Zhisheng tightened the new knife in his hand and nodded: "I know, Dad." ”

Eri looked at the two of them suspiciously, still not understanding why the two of them mentioned their names.
