Genji Heavy Industries, top floor.

Lu Mingfei's spirit floated in front of the painted mural, a little distressed.

His spiritual vision is no different from his physical body, and he does not have the ability to see at night, so he can only see the illuminated murals near the lantern, and the frescoes in the distance are hidden in the darkness, so he can't see them really.

Although the lantern is bright enough, the influence of the spirit on the material world is very weak, and it can't even lift a cup of wax, let alone the floor-to-ceiling lantern that is almost a person high.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Mingfei had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

He raised his hand, and translucent red silver threads emerged from his palm, quickly weaving into a long sword that radiated a faint glow.

Immediately, as Lu Mingfei's mind moved, the light on the long sword suddenly rose, illuminating the surroundings.

Lu Mingfei wasn't sure if someone would see these lights with his physical body, but anyway, as a spirit body, he could indeed see his surroundings clearly with the help of the light of the Silver Mistletoe Sword.

It is worthy of being a weapon produced by the Dwarf King, and after being fused into the body, it can even be used in the spirit state.

With the light of the silver mistletoe sword, Lu Mingfei began to inspect the mural from the beginning.

The murals look a little old, at least certainly not modern, but the pigment on them is still sticky and creamy, and it is unknown what materials were used by the people who painted them.

The first mural looks a bit like a map, with dragons and snakes in the middle of the sea, towering cities standing on the ground, roads spanning the sea, and black and white dragons suspended in the sky side by side, each holding the same golden scepter with one hand outstretched.

Except for the two-headed dragon floating in the sky, which is obviously the black king and the white king, this painting is more like a map, a ...... Map recording ancient dragon cities.

Lu Mingfei was a little surprised, all the half-bloods knew that it was the era when dragons ruled the world before, and their civilization was more prosperous than modern human civilization, and the secret party has been committed to restoring the history of dragons in order to study their alchemical technology and weaknesses, which naturally includes the city distribution map of ancient dragons, but even the European part has not been restored so far, and there is still controversy in the academic community.

If the contents of this painting were not nonsense, then it must be priceless, and the headmaster would probably have to fly over himself.

It's a pity that Lu Mingfei doesn't have a suitable excuse to inform, otherwise he would be quite curious about what the academy would do, whether to buy it or rob it?

He continued to read, and as the map went on, the picture gradually became absurd, with a hideous monster, eight long necks and eight heads around its body, the long neck was knotted like a rope, it was lying on the ground, its head was drinking the water of the upper reaches of eight rivers, its sharp tail cut through the mountains at the end of the river, and bright red water flowed out of its belly into the river, which seemed to be a behemoth with a length of hundreds of kilometers.

There was also a naked woman frozen in a huge block of ice, and a snake came out of the crack in the ice and talked to the man above the ice; All kinds of bizarre pictures, the symbolism is very strong, but obscure.

This is obviously a metaphor for something, but unfortunately Lu Mingfei can't understand it, or this metaphorical painting method itself is to make "outsiders" unable to understand the content, only by mastering certain knowledge and comparing it with the mural one by one, can it be interpreted.

Lu Mingfei remembered a piece of analysis about Tianlong Babu that he had read on the Internet before, and the sweeping monk said that the more Shaolin 72 Absolute Studies practiced, the greater the anger, and the need to be proficient in Buddhism to resolve it, this statement is not necessarily not very martial arts, but a bit of a Xianxia away, so some people in that analysis speculated that the reason why Seventy-two Absolute Studies need profound Buddhism is because a large number of unique Buddhist terms are used in the cheats to replace the terms of ordinary martial arts cheats, so that people who don't know enough about Buddhist culture will practice the wrong cheats, and then go crazy.

This is in line with the fact that murals are used as metaphors for certain messages.

Anyway, the snake in the mural is definitely not real, at least it must not be that big, a behemoth of hundreds of kilometers, from a biological point of view, it will directly crush itself to death, unless it has the physical fitness of the Hulk, but in this case, it may be able to play with nuclear bombs as a cannon, and it is a bit fantasy to think about.

Because he didn't decipher the key message of the metaphor, Lu Mingfei didn't stay long before the second one, but instead floated to the third one, which had a lot of notes in small seal fonts.

That is undoubtedly the Chinese small seal, I am afraid that the Japanese had not yet invented their own script when the mural was painted, so the painter used the Chinese small seal characters as annotations, but the small seal is a new font simplified by the Qin Shihuang after the unification of the six kingdoms when the "book with the same text" was based on the large seal of the Yin and Zhou periods, and it was gradually replaced by the affiliation book at the end of the Western Han Dynasty.

Looking at this mural, it may have a history of about 2,000 years, about the cultural exchanges between China and Japan at that time, Lu Mingfei could only think of the legend that Xu Fu took 500 boys and girls to the east to find the elixir, and then drifted to Japan and became the originator of the Japanese.

There are many people on the third mural, and Lu Mingfei has limited understanding of the small seal, but fortunately, the Chinese characters have been passed down from generation to generation, and every change is traceable, such as the ability of modern Chinese to understand traditional characters.

Although because of several changes, the small seal is very different from the simplified characters, but fortunately, the characters on the mural are relatively simple, so Lu Mingfei can even guess something - basically some exaggerated words.

Probably means that there will be a supreme and noble half-breed in the world on a regular basis, called "Emperor", his birth is called "incarnation", his meaning is comparable to Prometheus who stole fire, Jesus Christ who atoned for the sins of mankind with his own blood, he is the son of heaven, the emperor of fate, his titles include "Emperor of the East", "Emperor Yao", "Emperor Zhen", "Lord Taiwei"...... He is the embodiment of all the virtues of human beings, and has the great power to fight against God.

These notes are written in the mural near a small figure hooked with a golden edge, and the people around him are bowing down to the little figure.

Lu Mingfei is not very interested in this kind of thing, he is an old otaku, he is very familiar with the habits of the Japanese, these people use praise words to always exaggerate, the daily language is "so powerful" and "great", the title of the Olympic athlete is "counterattack の the strongest woman high student", and there are even "cooking immortals" and "sushi gods", I don't know that I thought I was going to fly up with a kitchen certificate.

Therefore, Lu Mingfei didn't care much about the loud honorific names on the mural, and after watching it for a long time, the only effective information he extracted was that "the Eight Families of Snake Qi will give birth to an 'Emperor' every few years, and the bloodline of the Emperor can exceed the limit ratio of half-breeds and stay awake, and he has the potential to rival the Dragon King, and he is the natural leader of the Eight Families of Snake Qi." ”

When he saw this, Lu Mingfei suddenly thought of the head of the Uesugi family - according to what she said, the pure-blood dragons that the Eight Snake Qi families couldn't handle would be handed over to her to deal with, which means that her strength was at least above most pure-blood dragons, and it was even likely to reach the realm of ancient dragons.

Could it be that she is the "emperor" mentioned in the mural?

Lu Mingfei was a little puzzled, didn't he say that the "emperor" was the natural leader of the eight families of Snake Qi? The Eight Families of Snake Qi just locked their own leaders under house arrest in a small room in a building? This is a puppet emperor, right?

As he continued, the mural behind it was devoid of text and very abstract, depicting a skeleton with wings giving a bone to a man. What is amazing is that the skeleton and the human form the structure of the "yin and yang fish", the golden skeleton lies on the black background, the golden person lies on the white background, the skeleton arm holding the bone touches the human hand, and the whole picture rotates like a whirlpool.

The background of the "Yin Yang Fish" in the back probably expresses the meaning of reincarnation, circulation, birth and death, etc., Lu Mingfei can still guess it, but what do the golden skeletons with wings, bones and the person who took the bones represent?

The metaphorical painting is not the key information that cannot be interpreted as the "key", so Lu Mingfei skips this one and looks at the next one.

This is the last mural, and its composition is very simple, at first glance there is only a white dragon roaring in the sky, the dragon occupies almost the entire mural, its wings spread out to the edge of the two walls, as if it will break free from the mural and fly out.

But if you look closely, you can see that at the very bottom of the mural, there is something - a cracked, eggshell or cocoon, the eggshell or cocoon is outlined like an emperor with gold edges, surrounded by white bones, and the tip of the white dragon's tail hanging directly above the eggshell crack.

What does that mean? Will a dragon in Japan be cocooned and reborn? Lu Mingfei was a little puzzled.

The white dragon looks exactly like the one holding the scepter in the original mural, and if nothing else, it should be the white king who rebelled against the Black King and was completely killed by him - at least that's what the history of dragons discovered by the secret party is recorded.

But looking at this mural, it seems to mean that the White King has not been completely killed, and one day it will also be cocooned and reborn?

Well, if this is true, then there will be one more enemy of the secret party in the future, and one more enemy who is more terrible than the four kings.

Lu Mingfei shook his head, and his eyes fell on the gold edge outlined by eggshell - what does this gold edge, which is almost the same as the emperor, mean?

It can't always be said that this eggshell is the emperor......

A bold idea jumped into Lu Mingfei's mind.

This eggshell can't really be the emperor, right? Doesn't the meaning of this mural be that the emperor has become a ...... for some reason White King?!

Lu Mingfei was taken aback by his own thoughts, he subconsciously felt a little ridiculous, although finding a way to evolve into a pure-blooded dragon has always been the ultimate goal of many forces in the mixed-blood race world, but everyone is thinking about evolving into an ordinary mixed-blood dragon at most, and from now on, they can live forever and be reborn in a cocoon, who will ascend to the sky in one step and delusionally become the existence of the four great monarchs or even higher......

Wait a minute! Live forever!

Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered that if the composition time of this mural was two thousand years ago, then this time was almost the time when Xu Fulai was looking for the elixir of immortality for Qin Shi Huang......

Is there a more top-notch elixir in the world than incarnating as a dragon king?

Lu Mingfei felt that he had guessed the truth - Japan had the possibility of making a half-breed incarnate into a pure-blooded dragon, and it was also a white king with a noble status, second only to the black king.

The First Emperor learned of this secret for unknown reasons, so he sent Xu Fu to Japan to find it.

In the end, Xu Fu should have failed, and until today, two thousand years later, the White King has not reappeared, otherwise the world would have been in chaos a long time ago.

And the biggest secret of the Eight Snake Families...... Maybe it's because they want the emperor to evolve into a white king, and then raise the clan to become a pure-blood dragon!

Damn, I've dug up a nuclear bomb now.

Lu Mingfei tugged at the corners of his mouth.

He was indeed very curious and concerned about the secrets of the Eight Snake Families, but he didn't expect to dig up such a powerful thing in the end, and he knew that he might as well not come.

Luckily, he came from a spirit body, and no one would know that he had discovered the secret.

Retracting the sword of silver mistletoe, Lu Mingfei rushed out headlong and went to find the head of the Uesugi family.

Now he also understands why the head of the Uesugi family can see him, and it is not difficult to deduce from the content of the mural that a considerable part of the Japanese half-breed should be descendants of the White King, and the "Emperor", as a super hybrid who has the opportunity to become the White King, must also have the genes of the White King in his body.

The White King is the Dragon King who controls the "spiritual" element, so it makes sense that the head of the Uesugi family, as the "Emperor", can see him.

……

When Lu Mingfei entered the house of the head of the Uesugi family, he heard the sound of rushing water.

Obviously, she was taking a bath, unlike yesterday when the head of the Uesugi family didn't have a shower because he was applying shower gel, this time the head of the Uesugi family was obviously taking a shower, so Lu Mingfei heard the obvious sound of water as soon as he came in.

Again, it is normal for men to yearn for the beautiful body of the opposite sex, but it is really too obscene to use a spirit body to peek at people taking a bath, so Lu Mingfei did not go in, and honestly floated in the room outside, waiting for the head of the Uesugi family to come out.

Wrong.

Lu Mingfei reacted suddenly-the head of the Uesugi family can see me, this can't be considered voyeurism, this is blatant...... It's still very obscene!

Ten minutes later, the head of the Uesugi family walked out of the bathroom while wiping his hair, and there was not a single strand on his body.

Lu Mingfei hurriedly turned around, and said in his heart, girl, what's the matter with you, I've seen you three times, you sent me benefits twice, is it the kind of female character in Japanese comics who is specifically responsible for giving benefits to the protagonist?

The head of the Uesugi family saw Lu Mingfei at a glance, his eyes lit up slightly, and he ran to the table to pick up the notebook and pen, and then ran to Lu Mingfei, what he wanted to write.

"Get dressed! Get dressed first! Lu Mingfei covered his eyes.

At this time, the bad part of the spirit body is reflected, even if you close your eyes or even cover your eyes, your vision will not be affected - the principle is not very clear to Lu Mingfei, maybe because the eyelids and hands of the spirit are transparent?

The head of the Uesugi family tilted his head, obediently walked to the closet, and put on his underwear and red and white witch clothes in turn.

Then she raised her notebook towards Lu Mingfei: "Where are you going to play tonight?" ”

"Can't go too far, huh...... If I look at it, if you go as far as you can, you should be able to get to the vicinity of the Tokyo Sky Tree. Lu Mingfei pointed to the landmark road in the distance.

"Then go to the Tokyo Sky Tree." Eri held up her notebook.

"Uh...... I shouldn't be able to get to the Tokyo Sky Tree," Lu Mingfei scratched his head, "I can only go to the edge, at most I can see it up close, and I can't get in." ”

……

There were two spirits floating in the night sky.

Lu Mingfei looked at the Tokyo Sky Tree a few hundred meters away, and shrugged his shoulders towards the head of the Uesugi family: "You see, if you can't go, no matter how far you go, there will be a risk of interrupting the connection between the soul and the body, and we won't be able to go back then." ”

The head of the Uesugi family nodded ignorantly: "Then I won't go." ”

What an obedient man. Although it's a little girl's character, at least it's a well-behaved little girl.

When she was secretly sighing, Lu Mingfei saw that she was staring at the Tokyo Sky Tree, a towering building with an unknown number of light bulbs in it, standing brightly in the night sky, reminiscent of the Tower of Babel in the Bible, where people burned bricks through the ground and built a tower that reached the sky.

The dark rose-colored eyes of the head of the Uesugi family reflected the lights without blinking.

It's really pitiful, I can't even enter a landmark tourist building, and the emperor of the Eight Families of Snake Qi is like a little girl who has never seen the world.

Also right...... If the Eight Families of Snake Qi are really pursuing the so-called making the emperor a white king, then after becoming a white king, will the emperor still be himself? Or is it that through the body of the emperor, the white king is now in the world?

If this is the case, it is indeed enough to put the emperor under house arrest, and when there is no chance for her to become a white king, he will use her as a weapon, and when the time comes, he will sacrifice her to the gods, she is the most perfect sacrifice.

Suddenly, looking at the girl looking at the sky tree in Tokyo, Lu Mingfei's brain twitched, and he said, "You can go." ”

Eri looked at him hopefully.

Lu Mingfei couldn't wait to slap his mouth - let your mouth be cheap, where to go, if the spirit body is disconnected from the body due to distance, maybe he will be a modern version of the iron cane!

"Ahem, although I can't go now, I can go in the future," Lu Mingfei said, "But in the future, I will have a way to make the soul farther away from the body, and I will be able to take you there then." ”

The Ancient One Mage ...... There should be a way, right? Lu Ming is not in the heart.

The head of the Uesugi family was unaware of Lu Mingfei's pie-painting behavior, and just nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "I will wait for Mr. Ghost." ”

Immediately, she stretched out her hand towards Lu Mingfei: "Is it okay to pull the hook?" ”

Lu Mingfei's thinking is a little divergent, I heard that the Japanese hook originated from the underworld, called "finger cut", when the underworld makes a promise, they will hook each other's little fingers and swear, and whoever violates the oath in the future will cut off the little finger, and some gangs require members of the golden basin to wash their hands to cut off the little finger.

Thinking about the hook game played by children, and then thinking about the origin of this thing, Lu Mingfei has a strange feeling.

Still, he reached out and hooked up with the Uesugi family master - he was a spirit anyway, immune to physical damage.
