January 1, 2009, Japan, Hakuba Tengu Shrine.

Although the Hakuba Tengu Shrine is usually open to tourists, it is actually the burial place of the heads of the Hachiya family.

Every year on the first day of the new year, the Eight Families of Snake Tree hold a sacrificial ceremony to remember the heads of the family of the past generations, and at the same time summarize the development of the Eight Families of Snake Qi in the past year.

At this time, the heads of the eight families of the Snake Qi family will attend this important sacrifice.

Uesugi Eri, she is not only the princess of the Japanese underworld group, but also the head of the upper three families of the Snake Eight Family, with the moon reading life in Japanese mythology, so she is also the priest of the White Feather Tengu Shrine, responsible for sacrificing the heads of the Eight Snake Families.

At the end of the wooden corridor, there is a unique room, and at this moment there are two female priests standing in front of the door, with dignified and solemn faces.

Inside the room, Erika took off her skirt and folded it, then took off the shrine maiden costume hanging on the wall, put on her undergarment, and put on a white coat and red hakama on the outside, and her long dark red hair fell behind her and hung down to her hips, like a holy priest who came out of the myth.

She picked up the red sash and tied it around her waist, leaned over and put on the white foot bag, stepped on the clogs and walked out.

"Lord Priest." Outside the door, two female priests bowed their heads, then turned and walked outside.

Eri followed behind, already accustomed to all of this.

In the courtyard outside, there were already neatly standing the elites of the eight families of Snake, all of them in black suits in a neat and orderly manner.

Eri followed the two priests out of the corridor, and looked curiously as they passed by them, as if they were looking for something.

Soon, Eri realized that this place was full of family members, and outsiders couldn't get in, so she was inexplicably a little lost.

In front of the temple, Tachibana Masamune was on crutches in both hands, and he just stood there, and the majesty of the head of the family fell on every member of the Snake Eight Family.

This old man is the current patriarch of the Eight Snake Clans and the leader of the entire Japanese underworld group.

Next to Tachibana Masamune, stood Gen Zhisheng, the young master of the Yuan family in the upper three, who was recognized by everyone as the next patriarch after Tachibana Masamune's abdication, and his status was equal to Tachibana Masamune, and he was qualified to stand side by side with Tachibana Masamune.

However, out of respect and respect for Tachibana Masamune, the current head of the family, Gen Zhisheng is slightly half a step behind.

After that, there are the heads of the Eight Families of Snakes, Inuyama Family Head Inuyama Kaga, Wind Demon Family Wind Demon Kotaro, Ryoma Family Ryoma Genichiro, Sakurai Family Sakurai Nanami, Miyamoto Family Miyamoto Shio.

The above eight are the eight families that make up the entire Japanese underworld group.

The Eight Families of Snake Qi used to be famous nobles in Japan, but after the Meiji Restoration, the survival of the Eight Families of Snake was fundamentally shaken, and they had to transform into the underworld family of the 11th District.

...

...

The two female priests lowered their speed and landed behind Eri.

Eri walked past the heads of the family, and Tachibana Masamune nodded lightly towards Eri with a kind look in his eyes.

The entire Snake Eight Family knows that Tachibana Masamune is the current head of the Snake Eight Family, and he is also the father of Eri and Gen Zhisheng.

For the two children, Eri and Genjisheng, Tachibana Masamune has always had great expectations and love.

Eri glanced at Tachibana Masamune, with no expression on her face.

In the Snake Qi Eight Family, everyone thinks Eri is very indifferent, like an emotionless machine, even for her kind father Tachibana Masamune, she has never shown due affection, she seems to be the same as everyone, maybe she doesn't have the concept of a father, but the only one who is closer is her brother Gen Zhisheng.

However, she did not disobey Tachibana Masamune's orders.

At least when it was the secret weapon of the Snake Qi Eight Family, it was like this.

Eri Yi naturally doesn't know what everyone thinks, and it's hard to know.

Sacrifice is a tedious thing, if you look at it for the first time you will feel curious, after a long time it is a boring thing, all kinds of strict steps in order, there can be no mistakes.

After each step of the ritual is completed, Eri Yi, who is a priest, also presents a sacrificial dance passed down from the Eight Clans of Snakes.

The red and white shrine maiden costumes danced in the wind, and the priests who were as holy as gods were not to be blasphemed.

In front of the shrine, everyone looks at the girl dancing in the wind, she symbolizes nobility, holiness, and is the mythical Tsukiyomi life, but in reality she is nothing more than a canary imprisoned in a cage by the Snake Qi Hachi.

When the priest was finished, Tachibana Masamune kindly touched Eri's head and ordered, "Go and change your clothes, and come over for a meeting later." ”

In fact, it doesn't matter if Eri comes or not, but she is the head of the top shirt family, and according to the rules, she must attend.

Eri didn't know if she had listened to it, so she retreated.

Tachibana Masamune turned around and looked at the heads of the family, "After worshipping the ancestors, we will go to the hall for a meeting." ”

...

...

Outside the shrine, crows hide on the outer wall and smoke,

He was most annoyed by this kind of priestly activity, so he would sneak out whenever he had time.

He felt that he was not suitable for that kind of atmosphere, and every time he saw Miss Shirt, he thought, maybe Miss is also pitiful, and when she came to this world, she was bound by the Eight Snake Families.

She doesn't have the joys and emotions of girls her age, because no one can give her, and she is more suitable to be an emotionless machine.

The crow has lost count of how many times the young lady has run away from home, and each time he has gone to catch it.

In fact, it can't be caught, because Miss's runaway from home has basically never left Genji Heavy Industries, he just took two steps, and he saw Miss like a lost child, looking at the outside world and stopping at a loss.

Many times the crow thought that it would be better to pretend not to see it, or to sneak behind the young lady so that she would not find out.

But the young lady stood for several hours, as if she didn't know where to go, the young master of the source was in a hurry, and the crow could only go up and call the young lady back.

Of course, it is not without success, that time the young lady was abducted by a boy from China, and he was scolded by the young master of Yuan.

From Yuan Zhisheng's mouth, he learned that the boy who kidnapped Miss was called Lu Mingfei.

The crow swore that when he saw Lu Mingfei again, he would definitely teach that kid a lesson, could Miss be abducted by a bastard like him?

"Made, what's the matter?" The crow took a deep puff of his cigarette, threw the butt on the ground, and stomped it out on his tiptoes, rubbing it back and forth.

The next moment, the crow stopped moving, because he saw a guy with a black scarf covering his face sneakily poking his head out.

The four eyes touched, and the crow was stunned for a while, "You ......"

This is the shrine where the Snake Qi Eight families worship, and it is not open during the festival at this stage, and looking at the appearance of the other party's face covering, it is obvious that it was sneaked up.

Someone dares to sneak into the territory of the Eight Snake Families? You must know that the heads of the eight families of the snake are going to have a meeting now!

"Mr. Ryuji Saeki, long time no see." The masked man was the first to speak, and before the crow could speak, the other man knocked him unconscious with a bang.

The crows can't even see each other's movements clearly, the other party is too fast!

Before the crow fainted, there was only one thought, "Who are you, do I know you?" ”
