350. House Rules

"The boy is a sacred weapon created by alchemy. Your ancestor Yuan Laiguang once used this knife to cut off the head of the drunk-swallowing boy, and the blood of the wine-swallowing boy seeped into the blade of the knife, and it has not dried up for thousands of years." Wind Demon Kotaro said respectfully.

Tong Zi Kiri is one of the "Five Swords of the World" in Japan, and its story is well known in Japan.

It is a pair of other famous swords in Japanese history, "Onikiri", which were held by Minamoto Manchu, a famous general in Japanese history.

[In view of the general environment,

When Gen Manzhong wields this pair of weapons, he always slaps the enemy's face with a ghost cut, and at the same time sneaks into the enemy's knee with a boy cut.

However, it got the name "Tong Zi Che", the history of the mighty sword, because in the hands of Minamoto Yorimitsu, the son of Minamoto Manchu, it was used to cut off the head of the ghost god "Wine Swallowing Boy".

After curbing the drunken boy into drinking a lot of alcohol, Minamoto Yorimitsu used a sneak attack to kill this ghost god who had caused headaches to the emperor at that time.

Modern Japanese people don't believe in such tales of ghosts and demons, living in modern metropolises, wearing Western-style clothes and driving Toyota or Honda cars.

Traditional shrines and tea ceremonies and ikebanas still exist, but they are getting farther and farther away.

In a modern city created by industrial machinery, the lights are also bright at night, and there is no hiding place for ghosts and gods.

Such a story sounds more like the cranky whims of ignorant ancestors many years ago in the dark night.

Only a very small number of people still believe in these stories and treat them as history, such as the Eight Snakes.

In the history of the Eight Families of Snake Confusion, the identity of the drunken boy is clearly described, this so-called ghost god is actually the biological brother of the hero Yuan Laiguang, his name is Yuan Laijing, the youngest son of Yuan Manzhong's favorite.

The name of Minamoto Yoritsune is not recorded in the official history, but he was once a genius boy favored by the Genji family.

As the supreme master of Eastern alchemy, Yuan Manzhong was able to guide the famous craftsman An Gang to create rare famous blades, but he did not have the ability to use them.

Until the birth of Minamoto Yorijing, Gen Manzhong believed that this incomparable son would become the new shadow emperor.

When Gen Manzhong took the Yuan Yorijing, who had just been born and was still crying, from the maid's hand, the baby suddenly stopped crying and opened his eyes, stretched out his immature hand, grabbed the handle of the saber at Gen Manzhong's waist, and stared at it deadly.

It is the boy who is now in the hands of Yuan Zhisheng.

"This knife was actually born for the sake of the scriptures!" Yuan Manzhong was convinced of this.

However, Minamoto Yoritsune, who was cultivated as the future head of the family, ended up taking the exact opposite path.

The dragon bloodline that exceeded the warning value eroded his body and spirit, and day after day, his personality became more and more deviant from human.

When he can't control his emotions, he becomes extremely violent, greedy for alcohol and killing.

He had been a handsome young man with such a graceful demeanor, but when he insulted his victims, he could not help revealing the appearance of a dragon, as fierce as a demon.

Not only that, but the runaway dragon bloodline led him to kill them every time he did it.

He even built an iron-cast palace near Kyoto to lure other teenagers in his family to join him.

They indulge their desires and make the cast-iron palace a heavenly kingdom for their pleasures, but it is a hell for beautiful girls.

Before becoming a monk, Gen Manzhong passed on a pair of famous knives that were originally expected to be passed on to Gen Yorijing, to his eldest son, Gen Yoriguang, who was originally not favored.

Minamoto accepted the family's mission and stepped into the cast-iron palace where his younger brother lived.

Yuan Laijing did not doubt his brother's intentions, in his opinion, his brother came to join him.

This proud boy was spoiled by his father and older siblings from an early age, and he thought that when the Snake Eight families saw his overwhelming strength, he would eventually be enshrined as the shadow emperor and hold the lifeblood of Japan.

At that time, he had already proclaimed himself "Emperor" in the cast-iron palace, how could his brother hurt himself?

Isn't my brother the one who has taken the most care of himself since he was a child?

Minamoto Rarijing set up a banquet to show his brother the most beautiful women he had captured, and he had not yet eaten them, because he knew that if he had eaten them, he would kill them.

He left the most beautiful woman as a gift to his brother.

At the banquet, when Minamoto Yoritsu was already drunk and almost unconscious, Minamoto Yoritsu said that I have a song to sing to our "emperor".

The waka song goes like this:

"Remembering the world, humiliating the world.

I hate the non-volley bird, and I want to fly without wings."

When the song settled, Yuan Laiguang suddenly pulled out two knives and attacked and killed his younger brother.

Yuan Laijing came to his senses when he was dying and said, it turns out that brother, you hate me.

Minamoto Yoriko said yes, when you were in the middle of the day, I didn't want you to disappear into the world, and now I have finally become the heir of Genji, and I have obtained the wings of the sky, which are the swords that should belong to you.

The knife that cut off the head of Minamoto Yoritsura came to be known as "Tong Zi Kiri".

Some people say that when he was a baby, Minamoto Yoritsune opened his eyes when he saw this knife, but he didn't want to get it, but he realized that this knife would cut off his own head.

Minamoto Yorimitsu washed the cast-iron palace in blood, killed all his brother's followers, and destroyed all the evidence.

Others who knew the true identity of the source were also erased.

Since then, the name of Minamoto Yoritsune has been erased from the family tree and replaced by the demon "Drunken Swallowing Boy" in troubled times.

The Eight Families sent storytellers to all over Japan to glorify the story as a legend of a hero slaying demons.

This is the black history that the Eight Families of Snake Differences have been trying their best to hide.

For thousands of years, the main enemies of the Eight Snake Families were not awakened dragons, but their own blood relatives.

Their origins are different from those of European half-breed families, as they are directly eroded by the blood of the White King.

Although there are examples of self-control among their descendants, such as the Shadow Emperor, who are extremely over-blooded, they are constantly out of control.

Many of the demons in Japanese mythology are derived from those hybrids whose bodies have been transformed into dragons, and the final result is nothing more than that the Snake Eight families paid a huge price, shedding blood and sacrificing to wipe out the descendants of this dragon.

For thousands of years, the curse of the bloodline has been hanging over the Eight Clans.

The best of the best blood, but also the most dangerous potential enemy.

If it is Minamoto Yoriguang who can't control his bloodline, then it is Minamoto Yoriguang who is killed under the name of "Wine Swallowing Boy", and his younger brother Gen Yoritsu is a hero who will be recited by future generations.

Yuan Zhisheng lowered his eyes, the wind blew the shadow emperor robe on his body, and the paintings of the gods swayed in the wind.

"I've often thought lately that my ancestor Minamoto Yorimitsu could become a hero in the annals of history," Gen Zhisheng gazed at Tong Ziche and sighed softly, "not only by his own bloodline and courage, but also because he has loyal and brave retainers like the Four Heavenly Kings of Raiguang."

"Yes!" Wind Demon Kotaro bowed slightly.

It is rumored that Minamoto Yorimitsu's subordinates included four warriors, Sadamitsu Usui, Tsunade Watanabe, Kitakeshi Bube, and Kintoki Sakata, all of whom had made meritorious contributions to Minamoto Yorimitsu's deeds of retiring demons.

In real history, these people were half-bloods who served Minamoto Yorimitsu, and during the Heian period, when "demons" were infested, they guarded each other back to back on the battlefield, and their statues still stand next to Minamoto Yorimitsu's bronze statue at the shrine under the name of the Snake Eight Clan.

"I've always thought you were my Four Heavenly Kings."

Gen Zhisheng suddenly raised his head and looked directly into the eyes of the Wind Demon Kotaro.

Wind Demon Kotaro leaned over and kowtowed, not daring to move.

"The masters of Inuyama, Sakurai, Ryoma, and Miyamoto don't have the courage and loyalty of you."

Yuan Zhisheng sighed softly.

"But this time, in front of the elite of the academy headquarters, you made a fool of me." There was an irrefutable determination in his voice, "Apologize."

Wind Demon Kotaro didn't have a word of rebuttal.

He took it from his bosom

He took out a white handkerchief, wrapped the little finger of his left hand tightly, and then pulled out the boy and cut it.

He pressed his hand to the ground, pressed the blade of the boy's knife to his little finger, and slowly cut it off.

Although it is a half-breed with steel-like bones, it is still fragile when cut by the boy, and this famous blade made of ancient alchemy technology does not have any effort to cut the head of the wine-swallowing boy.

The corners of Kazema Kotaro's eyes twitched slightly from the severe pain, but he didn't mean to break quickly, and the hand holding the knife was slow and steady, feeling every pain of bone separation.

The handkerchief wrapped around his little finger was left on the ground, stained red with blood, and Kotaro Kazema healed the wound with another white handkerchief, bowed down and said, "Sorry to disappoint you."

This is the rule of the Japanese underworld, and it is also the family rule of the Eight Families of Snakes, and those who do wrong things need to cut off one of their fingers to apologize.

This serves three purposes.

One is to make amends with pain.

Second, even the regenerative ability of the hybrid cannot grow new fingers, which will become an eternal mark of shame.

Finally, the person who has lost his finger can see at a glance that he is "a man who was once in the underworld", and the secular society will refuse to accept him, and he will have to rely more on the family.

Yuan Zhisheng nodded, "I accept your apologies."

Wind Demon Kotaro secretly let out a sigh of relief.

In fact, this punishment was much lighter than he thought. He came with two handkerchiefs in his arms, and he was not prepared to leave with his whole body.

Taking the lead in disobeying the orders of the head of the family, even if it is a death to apologize, it is not a pity to die.

"I wonder how many guests are satisfied with my handling?"

Yuan Zhisheng's voice rushed over with bloody gas.

Chu Zihang frowned, and his right hand shrank back.

The members of the Eight Families of Snakes, except for the eldest patriarch and a few special cases, were not allowed to carry weapons, so before entering the door, Chu Zihang left the "Village Rain" transformed by the Equipment Department outside.

But that doesn't mean he's defenseless right now.

In fact, Chu Zihang has some subtle lack of security, and once he is in a state of no weapons, it is easy to fall into a nervous mood.

So even when the academy and Gu Bei were in the same dormitory, a short knife would be pressed under his pillow.

Not to mention that now they are deep into the nest of the Japanese branch.

Without weapons, it's just a death, okay.

Chu Zihang specially picked a larger one when he was picking out clothes in the clothing store, and then brought in a short knife and dagger and other Dong XZ in a place where it was not easy to be found.

Once Yuan Zhisheng or the people around him showed a desire to attack, Chu Zihang would pull out his weapon and fight back as quickly as possible.

Yuan Zhisheng naturally also noticed Chu Zihang's movements: "Chu Jun doesn't need to be nervous, it's just a friendly exchange."

He said this sincerely, but he had just witnessed the sight of cutting off his fingers, and his sincere words were really not convincing.

"Patriarch should get straight to the point," Caesar stood up and looked at Gen Zhisheng unceremoniously, "What you want and want, just say it, although we don't guarantee that things will be on us, but it is better to say that things are not on us."

is worthy of Caesar, even as a party being interrogated, he speaks with confidence.

"Just confirming something."

Yuan Zhisheng's tone was calm.

"The place you've been, Takamagahara." Yuan Zhisheng paused, "That is the holy place that the Eight Snake Families have guarded for thousands of years, and it may be the last dragon city that has been preserved to this day."

"You've seen the corpse guard there, the Lenin, and a king, right?"

Although it was a question, it was in an affirmative tone.

These were all mentioned in the report submitted by the action team, and they even said that they had killed the king, but until now, the body of the dragon king has not been recovered.

They don't even have a way to dive, because

The Dirieste has been abandoned by the operation team on the bottom of the sea.

But the most important problem is still the dragon king.

The identity of the dragon king is very important, is it the dragon king who was originally sleeping in the high heaven plain that the action team killed, or the one who came later?

"Do you know the identity of the king whom you slain?"

Although it was a question for the four of them, Yuan Zhisheng's gaze fell on Xia Mi unabashedly, and the girl who was also the king must know the identity of that king.

This is the idea of the source child.

And this is not a secret, all Natsumi answered his question: "Behemoth, king of the sea and water."

Everyone erupted in an even stronger commotion than before.

The people who can sit here basically know the inside story, they know that there is an "ancestor" at the bottom of the sea, but they don't know that there is another dragon king at the bottom of the sea.

It's a secret that only a few people know about.

"In 1992, there was an unknown shipwreck in the Sea of Japan, the icebreaker "Lenin" of the former Red Federation was wrecked, and according to the coordinates, it broke down just when it reached the top of Amagahara and sank straight into the ruins of Takamagahara." Yuan Zhisheng said.

Caesar and Chu Zihang glanced at each other, but neither spoke, but Yuan Zhisheng said eloquently: "In the bilge of that ship, there is a dragon nobleman whose identity is unknown, it has eroded the ship, and with that giant ship as a sword, it has inserted it into the high heaven...... Now it seems that it should be the dragon king named "Behemoth."

Wind Demon Kotaro held back the pain and took two steps forward: "Patriarch, if they really killed the Dragon King, then we need to salvage the Dragon King's body as soon as possible, otherwise ......

What else would have happened?

Caesar and the others heard half of it, and found that the wind demon Kotaro stopped, and suddenly felt a knot.

However, everyone in the Japanese branch understood.

If these students didn't brag and really killed the dragon king, then if the dragon king's body was not salvaged as soon as possible, I am afraid that the dragon corpse would become food for the resurrection of something!

"Wind Demon Family Master, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Yes!"

Having said that, the recovery of the body is impossible to achieve after all.

After all, the dragon corpse and the dragon bone cross have been fished out by a certain old six.
