Chapter 246: The Sleeping Place
Akihabara, the home of the Uesugi family. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Uesugi Ayane frowned and looked at the seven black-clothed figures in front of her, her brows furrowed slightly, at that time she sent out a total of eight ninjas from the family, and said that she would come back at this time, but now only seven people have returned, and the eighth person has disappeared for no reason.
For the ninjas of the Uesugi family, who are extremely rigorously trained, there is no such thing as forgetting the time, or accidentally delaying the time so they can't come back, and the ninjas of these families are strictly like machines, and it is impossible for such deviations to occur.
There was only one reason why there was one person missing, and the family ninja who didn't make it back was left behind! Maybe he died at the moment.
This can only mean one thing, Xue Ji is indeed in other spheres of influence as she expected!
The matter became complicated in an instant.
Uesugi thought for a moment, then waved the ninjas back, and walked through the courtyard to the depths of a magnificent room.
This is the family gathering place of their Uesugi family, where all the family nuclei live, and there are many ninjas hidden inside and out, although it is also called the Shikino Shrine, it is completely different from modern skyscrapers.
Located in an ancient village in Akihabara, the former residence of the Uesugi family, there is almost no sense of modern society, and the architecture of the shogunate era has been completely retained.
The building is similar to the ancient Chinese house, surrounded by a high wall, leaving only a gate to enter and exit, a heavy courtyard is arranged together in an orderly manner, the layout is atmospheric, and some rockery and clear springs are inserted all over the courtyard.
"Father. Uesugi Ayane raised her hand and knocked on the door, shouting loudly.
"Come in!"
The sound of the head of the house in the house, after hearing the answer, Ayane pushed the door in, only to see Uesugi Ryugari sitting cross-legged on the low bed and maintaining a meditative posture, exuding a mysterious aura on his body, after hearing the sound of her coming in, he suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of wolf-like eyes, looked at Ayane Uesugi and said, "Ayane, but for the sake of Yukihime?"
"Yes, Father,"
Uesugi Ayane nodded, "Yukihime's whereabouts have basically been determined, and it's in the industries of those companies within Kabukicho 1-chome. ”
After a pause, he said, "I think it's most likely to be in the Akizuki River under the girl of Yukichiyo, after all, our conversation that night was probably overheard by her." ”
"Akizuki River?"
Uesugi Ryukari narrowed his eyes slightly, and said to himself: "This girl is from the Ichizawa family, I'm afraid it's not easy for us to move her, and the heir of the Ichizawa family, Ichizawa Fujikawa, likes her so much, and he will definitely not sit idly by if something happens, but it's a little troublesome." ”
The three major ninjutsu families in Tokyo, in addition to their Uesugi family, there are also the Ichizawa family and the Genji, the three major families basically control all the underground forces in Japan, and the others are just some small families, with limited power and are not worth mentioning.
Among the three, Genji is the strongest, surpassing the other two, accounting for nearly 40% of the underground power in Japan, while the Uesugi family and the Ichizawa family each account for the remaining half.
It can be said that the three of them are the emperors of the whole of Japan!
Uesugi Ayane said, "Father, I'm going to go to the Akizuki River tonight to have a look, and if Yukihime is really there, see if I can bring her back!"
Ryukari stood up from the ground, took a deep breath, came to her, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "You haven't gotten the power of Shikigami yet, and you may not be the opponent of that girl in Yukichiyo, so let's let the Night Demon go with you, and it will be safer." ”
Uesugi Ayane is his favorite daughter, who has shown a high talent for cultivation since she was a child, and he has high hopes that she is the future successor of the family, and she is tasked with carrying forward the Uesugi family, so her life cannot be lost.
And her identity as a woman is nothing, in Japan, there is also a son-in-law who says that as long as Uesugi Ayane is strong enough, why worry about choosing a husband? At that time, the entire Uesugi family will be under her control.
"Follow me!"
Ryukari walked out of the door and walked deeper into the shrine of Shikino, followed by Ayane Uesugi.
In fact, the place where he lived was at the back of the entire divine residence, and the surrounding buildings were already very scarce, and across a large meadow, a somewhat dilapidated wooden building nearly twenty meters long appeared in front of him.
This is the most important place of the Uesugi family, no one is allowed to approach except the head of the family on weekdays, and there are many family elite ninjas ambushed around.
Just because this is the place where Shikigami is stored!
Most of the Uesugi family's shikigami are housed here!
Before the two of them came to the hut, they bowed respectfully in the direction of the door, and then pushed the door in, and the evening sun suddenly shone into the room through the open door, casting a bright color on the ground, slightly dispelling the darkness in the house.
There was a special aura in the whole room, and it was obvious that you could feel that invisible thoughts collided here, and various forces manifested in the room.
I saw that there were huge rows of rows on the offering table in the room, from one side to the other, there were as many as three rows, not to mention dozens.
The rows were engraved with names, in front of them were slowly burning sandalwood and offerings, and behind them were huge cocoon-like things, each nearly two meters high, oval-shaped, with folded skin and dense horizontal stripes.
Cocoons hung upside down from the beams, exuding divine fluctuations, some of which had broken open, leaving only the outermost layer of empty shells, and it was clear that the contents had broken out.
These giant cocoons are Shikigami spirit cocoons, and the people living in them are Shikigami, and the names engraved on those rankings are Shikigami!
This is the place where Shikigami sleeps!
Those giant cocoons that have been broken show that the Shikigami who inhabit the cocoon has been born and has become the patron saint of someone in the Uesugi family, and there are still thirty-seven Shikigami who remain here!
The placement of these Shishen rankings is also exquisite, the more backward, the closer to the middle of the Shishen ranking, the more powerful the Shishen is represented, you can see that in the third row near the middle of the position, a pure white cocoon has been broken, and there are new traces around the crack, obviously this Shishen cocoon has only cracked not long ago.
If you perceive it carefully, it is not difficult to find that the breath on this cocoon is exactly the same as the breath on Xiaoxue's body!
