In the mountains just outside Tokyo, a cold wind blows through the charred torii gate and the roof of the shrine.

White lanterns hang around the small pavilion in the courtyard, and the candles shine through the white paper, illuminating this small space.

There is a charcoal stove on the wooden table, and a Kansai iron kettle sits on the charcoal fire, and the water is about to boil.

This iron kettle, which is produced in the Kansai region of Japan, is dark and heavy, with countless blunt thorns like durian on the top half, and a crow tengu with a long nose on the bottom half, spreading its wings and flying in the flames of flowing clouds.

The charcoal fire burned the bottom of the pot red, and the face and wings of the crow tengu glowed with glowing fire.

When the water boiled, the old man lifted the iron kettle, poured the boiling water into the tea bowl, and after rotating the tea bowl, poured the water out.

In this way, the bowl is heated.

The old man put two teaspoons of tea powder into the tea bowl, took a spoonful of hot water from the iron kettle with a long-handled wooden spoon and added it to the tea bowl, and gently stirred it with a cylindrical bamboo brush called "tea first" until the tea powder completely melted in the hot water.

He cushioned the tea bowl with golden ancient silk yarn, gently rotated it in his hand, and turned the side with the bamboo finch pattern towards the opposite man, and bent down to serve tea.

This is a very strict and demanding tea ceremony, and you can't go wrong with it.

The guest bends down to take the tea bowl, and also uses the ancient silk yarn on the kimono belt, and rotates it twice clockwise, pointing the bamboo finch pattern at the tea maker, which is a sign of respect for the tea maker.

Then drink the tea soup respectfully, rotate the tea bowl twice counterclockwise, turn the bamboo finch pattern back to yourself, and look down to admire the simple but unique flavor of the tea bowl.

This is also etiquette, the etiquette of tea drinkers.

If Gu Bei watched this set of etiquette, he would definitely be suffocated, and the two of them sat on their knees from the beginning of boiling water, and could only admire each other's faces and the white steam spewing out of the iron kettle.

I waited for half an hour just to drink that sip of tea, and I didn't even have a few melon seeds to relieve boredom during the period.

According to etiquette, after drinking, you have to turn the tea bowl up and down, giving a compliment like "What a beautiful tea bowl~".

Otherwise, it would be rude.

The man said heartily, "Everyone's tea ceremony has improved again."

The man was handsome, wore old-fashioned tortoiseshell-rimmed glasses, and his hair was neatly combed, like a young teacher in some college.

Tachibana Masamune also put down his teacup: "Shio, how is the geological exploration over there in the red well?"

"We have changed the exploration method and have delineated the large *** site, and the specific location needs to be further confirmed."

Shizuo Miyamoto, the head of the Miyamoto family of the Snake Eight Family, is now less than thirty years old, although he is young, but he is a recognized academic talent in the family, who studied at the Kassel Academy, and then turned down the offer of several faculties and returned to the Japanese branch to preside over the Iwayu Research Institute, and is now the director of the Iwayu Research Institute, and the current top technical director of the Hachiya Snake Flow.

He is also the proposer of the "God-killing Project".

In fact, there is no "red well" in Tokyo, and the real name of this place is probably No. 13 water storage well, which is located in the mountains near the Tama River, about the middle of Tokyo and Yokohama.

"Red Well" is just a code name.

The god-killing plan of the Eight Clans of the Snake Sect is a crazy plan: use a TBM to open the passage to the "Well of Burial Remains", and introduce the White King hiding in it into the water storage tank called the Red Well, and then throw in 5,000 tons of mercury and a large amount of thermite incendiary bombs, and use the high temperature and mercury vapor they produce to kill and damage these monsters with dragon blood.

Although it sounds simple and crazy, it is highly feasible.

First, the White King has not recovered.

The White King in the Well of Hidden Remains is an unbroken egg in its own right, so killing the White King's body on this basis will cause the White King's soul to lose its shelter, and even without the Philosopher's Stone, it can complete the great feat of killing the Dragon King.

Second, the flames produced by dragons with their speech spirits are not special except for the extremely high temperature, in other words, thermite can indeed produce high temperatures that are harmful to dragons.

In theory, there are no problems with this plan, but in practice there are still many problems that need to be solved.

However, for this stage, this is indeed the best way to kill the White King.

The struggle between the Eight Clans and the Demons has always revolved around the struggle of the gods.

The demons want to resurrect the gods and then replace the Eight Clans of the Snake Sect as orthodox.

The Eight Snakes want to kill the gods before they awaken, and then become independent from the secret party.

God is at the heart of all problems.

"Gu Bei." Tachibana Masamune spat out a name, "He's from the main department, maybe it has something to do with Ange."

Miyamoto's body stiffened, and he couldn't help but recall the painful memories of being pinned to the ground the night before.

He had experienced that kind of power firsthand, obviously he was not injured, but he just couldn't resist, it was like being locked by something and his hands and feet couldn't move.

Thinking about it, he should have a common topic with Caesar, who was once pressed to the ground by Gu Bei's chest.

"I will definitely speed up the progress, please rest assured." Miyamoto Shio looked serious, with a certain determination.

Tachibana Masamune smiled, lifted the iron kettle, washed the tea bowl, and then made another cup of tea and pushed it to Miyamoto Shio: "I've been thinking about letting Ashio take over as the head of the family recently."

Miyamoto Shio's hand holding the teacup suddenly paused, and he didn't realize that the hot water was splashing out: "Patriarch, you want to abdicate!?" Why is it so sudden?"

"I'm old, and the revival of the Eight Clans of Snake Qi will ultimately fall on you young people," Tachibana Masamune smiled, "Besides, it will take some time for the young students to get used to."

"But ......"

"Needless to say, the young man will have to take over this position sooner or later, and when the time comes, you will have to help him more in the affairs of the family."

Tachibana Masamune held the tea bowl in the palm of his hand, took a sip slowly, and exhaled a hot breath: "Find the well of the hidden remains as soon as possible, I will officially abdicate after the god-killing plan is over, while my old bones can still move, and do more things for the young people."

Shio Miyamoto pursed his lips and knelt down deeply: "I will start the arrangement of the god-killing plan as soon as possible."

"Hmm."

Where Miyamoto couldn't see, Tachibana Masamune's eyes were obscure.

——

"Ha~Cool!"

Gu Bei and Lu Mingfei put a bowl as big as their faces on the table at the same time, and then the animals rubbed their stomachs in unison, and the synchronization rate was completely comparable to that of the spiritual guy who shook the flower hand in front of the Great Snow Temple.

Of course, for Gu Bei, who has a six-library immortal thief, rubbing his stomach is just a habitual action, and Lu Mingfei is really eating.

After disposing of all of Deadpool's bodies this morning, the people of the Eight Snake Families sent back some of the people they had taken before.

In fact, the Snake Eight family is planning to resettle everyone in the town to Tokyo, and then abandon the town, but some people are determined to return, so the Snake Eight family can only send people back.

As for the damage caused by Deadpool, it can't be recovered in a short time, so it was pushed to last night's local earthquake, although last night's earthquake was not a natural disaster at all, but a man-made disaster.

Eri took a small sip of ramen: "Does Xiaobei like to eat ramen very much?"

Gu Bei patted his belly: "Fortunately, I have no resistance to all delicious food."

Lu Mingfei agreed: "Food is the meaning of life...... And games."

Eri nodded, "There's a delicious Yatai ramen in Tokyo, I'll take you to eat it when I get back."

"Okay." Gu Bei grinned with his teeth.

Eri also smiled.

Lu Mingfei felt that it was a wrong decision that he didn't come with Su Xiaoqiao, and now he is not only a little supportive, but also a little crooked.

Liu Miaomiao sat on the side, looking at these two legendary figures from Shilan Middle School with a curious expression.

Lu Mingfei is okay to say, this product has been a dick silk image from the beginning, even if it later became a male god-level character, but Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiao have a good relationship, and she is also a person who knows everything, so she naturally knows that Lu Mingfei is actually still the same as before.

As for Gu Bei...... Although it is a class, and

used to be a tablemate, but she really didn't know each other.

Whether it is in Shilan Middle School or anywhere, Gu Bei's existence is like a mystery, many people may have seen what he looks like, but most of them have not even said a word to him, let alone have any in-depth exchanges.

As a result, even though there are many of his fans in Shilan Middle School, no one has ever had contact with Gu Bei.

Even the big iceberg like Chu Zihang inevitably communicates with his classmates, but Gu Bei really doesn't have it.

In addition to asking him to play games may be responded to.

It's outrageous.

Therefore, Liu Miaomiao was still very curious about Gu Bei's existence.

Moreover, after joining Nadutong again, Liu Miaomiao also knew from Su Xiaoqiao that Gu Bei was the founder of Nadutong.

This is even more incredible, and the curiosity is doubled.

So now he looked at Gu Bei's eyes a little bit like he was looking at a person, but at some kind of exhibit.

Only...... Similar to skeletons and specimens in the Museum of Extinct Animals.

Fortunately, Gu Bei, as an S-level in Kassel, is baptized by this kind of gaze every day when he walks on campus, and he has long been surprised, he turned his head to look at Lu Mingfei: "How about it, you help me with this, I will give Su Xiaoqiao half a year vacation, and she can't work overtime if she wants to."

Lu Mingfei complained: "You are using power for personal gain, aren't you afraid that Sister Hua will hammer you?"

Gu Bei waved his hand: "Everything, I'm the boss."

Lu Mingfei nodded helplessly: "You are the boss, you have the final say."

A few people were eating and drinking, and suddenly they heard footsteps outside the store, and then the door of the store was opened with a "bang".

"Welcome~Come!"

The ramen chef has a strange emphasis that he didn't know where to learn, and it is said that a coffee seller taught him that it is very effective in attracting customers.

Gu Bei and others expressed deep doubts about this.

A quiet girl holding a book walked in at the door, and when she saw the scene in the store, the girl exclaimed, "Lu Mingfei? Liu Miaomiao? Why are you here!? And also...... Gu Bei!?"

Gu Bei said hello: "What a coincidence, Chen Wenwen."

It's a coincidence...... It's weird.

There were already fewer people in the town, and there were fewer shops, and even fewer after the eight families moved out of the house.

There aren't many places to eat in the town now, except for the hot spring inn, and this ramen shop is still open.

Not by chance, but by necessity.

Chen Wenwen got up a little late today, and she always felt that the food in the hot spring hotel was a little wrong, so she didn't eat in the hotel, but ran out to find food by herself.

Then he happened to bump into Gu Bei and his party.

But what makes Gu Bei want to complain is that Chen Wenwen is bound to the book every time she appears? Is this little girl a career change monster? If you kill you, you will drop the Career Scroll?

Chen Wenwen didn't know what Gu Bei thought about the bad taste in his heart, so she ordered a bowl of miso ramen and sat next to a few people: "I didn't expect Gu Bei that you are really in Japan, I thought it was Zhao Menghua's nonsense."

Zhao Menghua? What is this about Zhao Menghua?

Gu Bei looked at Lu Mingfei, and Lu Mingfei was also a little confused.

Liu Miaomiao knew the reason, and told Zhao Menghua about stealing the limelight in the name of Gu Bei.

After hearing this, Gu Bei sneered: "It doesn't matter, it's just a little vanity, let him go, what if you don't say it?"

Lu Mingfei nodded, he was not an intriguing character, if it weren't for his little cousin Lu Mingze praising him to the sky at school, and Su Xiaoqiao's bonus playing a role, it is estimated that few people would be able to find out about Lu Mingfei's changes by now.

"Okay," Gu Bei said, "It wasn't a big deal, it's all over."

Gu Bei said this, and Chen Wenwen didn't say much, and it was only then that she noticed the girl beside Gu Bei: "This is ......

"Oh, introduce." Gu Bei took Eri's hand, "This is my girlfriend, Eri Uesugi, I came to Japan this time to celebrate her birthday."

Eri nodded quietly at Chen Wenwen, like a gentle Yamato Nadeshiko.

Chen Wenwen also responded, but she was surprised in her heart.

Former classmates, when they meet again, bring a foreign partner, and it will be strange to change anyone.

After greeting each other, the chatterbox of several people also opened, chatting about the interesting things about Shilan Middle School this year, and after a while, Chen Wenwen's miso ramen was also served.

At this time, the door opened again, and the person who walked in made the same reaction as Chen Wenwen: "Lu Mingfei? Liu Miaomiao? And also...... Gu Bei?!"

It was Zhao Menghua who came, and he really said that Cao Cao Cao arrived.

However, Gu Bei was not interested in Zhao Menghua.

In Gu Bei's view, if Chen Wenwen is a scheming bet girl, then Zhao Menghua is a playboy who sees things differently.

He didn't have a long time in Shilan Middle School, but in such a short period of time, he had at least heard about Zhao Menghua's five dating experiences, and he had a nose and eyes.

And these feelings are all related, which shows that they are not groundless.

And in the course of these relationships, Zhao Menghua has not stopped pursuing Chen Wenwen.

Gu Bei doesn't hate scumbags, the kind of scumbag who broke up last and replaced the next one is at most abusive, it doesn't matter.

But with several boats on his feet, Gu Bei didn't want to see him at all.

He engages in pure love.

So he took Eri Yi and stood up: "We still have some things, so let's go first."

Lu Mingfei and Liu Miaomiao also stood up.

Chen Wenwen sat there, a little at a loss.

Zhao Menghua's eyes lit up when he saw the Eriyi beside Gu Bei, and he came to Gu Bei's side to stop Gu Bei's shoulder: "This is leaving?" Don't you catch up with your old classmates?"

Gu Bei held Eri Yi with one hand, and pinched Zhao Menghua's wrist with the other: "People and people can talk about the past, what is there to talk about people and dogs?"

Zhao Menghua was stunned when he heard this, and then he was furious, and was about to speak, but he suddenly felt a pain in his wrist, and then a fist enlarged in his field of vision.

With a sound of "Peng", Zhao Menghua's whole person softened.

The shopkeeper has also seen strong winds and waves, and when he saw this situation, he directly threw down a sentence: "Don't leave me here if you kill me, bad luck."

"Yes." Gu Bei smiled, then turned his head to look at Lu Mingfei and Liu Miaomiao, "You two are here to accompany Chen Wenwen, I'll deal with him."

After speaking, without waiting for a few people to react, he dragged Zhao Menghua out.

Chen Wenwen sat there stunned for a long time, and finally reacted, and asked tremblingly, "Gu Beihe...... It can't be that you're part of some illegal organization, right?"
