I, who was supposed to slay dragons, accidentally started cultivating immortals

Chapter 358

Inuyama Kari is an orphan.

His father is the son of the elder sister of the head of the Inuyama family.

The previous head of the Inuyama family supported the radicals in the Japanese military during World War II. Later, Japan was defeated and the previous head of the family cut seppuku. The Inuyama family, which was originally the weakest family among the Snake Eight, completely fell and was on the verge of extinction.

Therefore, the second sister of the owner of the current generation of Inuyama was with an American colonel in exchange for the protection of the family by the American army. Later, the elder sister of the owner gave birth to a child for him. A few years later, the colonel and officer wanted to return to the United States and wanted to take Inuyama The owner's sister and children were taken away, but died in an alley for no apparent reason on the eve of boarding the ship.

As long as the colonel goes one step further, he becomes a brigadier general. The humiliation of a senior military officer being assassinated in a defeated country made the United States, which was the victorious country at the time, furious and vowed to find out the murderer, but in the end nothing happened.

A few years after the death of the colonel, the second sister of the head of the Inuyama family died of illness—she had no relationship with the colonel, and she committed herself to him just to protect the family deal. She was not the colonel’s wife, but his wife. She was just a lover and a plaything. While being tortured for a long time, she almost died of hemorrhage during childbirth. After that, her health deteriorated and she finally failed to survive for a few years.

The contemporary patriarch adopted the child into his own name after the death of the second sister. The child was of the blood of the Inuyama family. The patriarch liked the child very much, but hated that he had a Japanese-American face. His sister abused the American military officer in every possible way, so she wanted to arrange for him the most traditional Japanese beauty as his wife so that he could give birth to a child most like a Japanese.

The Inuyama family gradually prospered after the rise of the contemporary owner from the youngest son, regained control of a large amount of skin and customs business in Japan, and successfully kept up with the times and mastered the entertainment industry-although the owner of the Inuyama family always said that the so-called Japanese entertainment industry is nothing more than Another custom industry, and there is no essential difference.

The Inuyama family has money, and the head of the family is very kind to the second sister's child, sending him to the best school, hiring him the best kendo teacher, and finding the most beautiful Yamato Nadeko for him.

The head of the Inuyama family, who controls the customs industry, began to choose the second sister's child when he was 15 years old, and only after five years did he choose the girl he was satisfied with—a gentle and elegant Yamato Nadeko who was the same age as the second sister's child.

Under the arrangement of the head of the Inuyama family, they married and had children, and gave birth to Inuyama Kari, a boy with a quarter of American ancestry with almost no foreign ancestry.

Inuyama Kari grew up day by day, and he was very satisfied with the head of the Inuyama Patriarch, who was in his prime. Even though it was the time when the family and other custom industry gangs had the most fierce competition, he would still often find time to see this child.

Patriarch Inuyama always likes to sit in the Japanese room with the door open, watching the children in the courtyard planted with fine bamboos holding bamboo knives practicing Beichen Yidao-style swordsmanship.

In the summer, the yard is cloudless, and the cicadas are singing from the distant woods. The wooden sword in Kari Inuyama’s right hand rubs against the air to make a sound of wind. Water is added to the corner and a bamboo tube is erected obliquely. The water drips in. When it is full, the bamboo tube collapses He knocked on the stone with a sound of "Bang", and the owner of the Inuyama family cut several watermelons in the house. When he was satisfied with Inuyama Kari's training, he called him over to rest, stroked the white beard and watched Inuyama Kari He ate watermelon, and reminded him from time to time not to forget to spit out the seeds.

Inuyama Kari likes this grandfather who is sometimes kind and sometimes majestic. The head of the Inuyama family also likes this elder sister's grandson very much, and always urges Inuyama Kari's father to have another child as soon as possible. The number of people in the Inuyama family is still too thin.

However, Kari Inuyama's father didn't like his children, let alone his wife.

Everything about him was arranged by Patriarch Inuyama. Patriarch Inuyama decided on his wife and sent her there. At that time, he was painting by the lake, listening to the sound of the wind blowing the lake and the leaves of grass, Patriarch Inuyama put a woman in a kimono, Stepping on clogs, a woman with her hair tied into a complicated shape led him in front of him and said, "You will marry her next month."

The woman who was the same as Nadeko glanced at him, lowered her head, and smiled shyly. Patriarch Inuyama was very satisfied. He opened his mouth several times, but he didn't have the courage to refuse. He only replied, "Can I finish this painting first? "

Later, Inuyama Karyou’s father married Yamato Nadeko, and he never painted again. He drank heavily every day and practiced kendo. Say less, but for Inuyama Kari, he beat or scolded him. Every time he was beaten hard, he would hold Kari and cry loudly, scolding himself for being a coward.

Kari Inuyama remembers that when he was eight years old, his father told his mother that he had cheated on him, and he fell in love with a female teacher from the Art Department of Tokyo University. kiss.

The father knelt down in front of the mother and said that he had done something wrong, and if the mother did not forgive him, he could cut off his fingers.

There was a moment of sadness in the mother's eyes, and then she knelt down in front of her father, and said softly: "It's okay, I am your wife, and you are my God. How could God do something wrong? You will Going to another woman must be because I haven't done well enough, I'm really sorry."

Inuyama Kari will never forget the look in his father's eyes at that time, the horrified look in his eyes as if he saw something extremely disgusting. He yelled, jumped up, and ran to the yard to vomit crazily.

Later, his father cut off his little finger, and the head of the Inuyama family was furious.

Father drank a lot of wine, a lot of wine, so he was very drunk. That night, ten-year-old Inuyama Kari was strangled awake in a dream, and he still couldn't breathe when he woke up. His eyes were his father's bloodshot golden pupils.

The suffocation made his consciousness more and more blurred, and Inuyama Kari stretched out his hand with difficulty to hold the bamboo knife beside the bed.

Inuyama Karyou's father learned kendo from the best teacher since he was a child, but in the end he was beaten to death by a ten-year-old child with a bamboo knife.

That night, Inuyama Kari awakened his word spirit—immortality.

Inuyama Karyou was judged to be a ghost by his family, and the nature of his mistakes was extremely bad. He will be imprisoned and executed.

From that day on, the Inuyama family never came to see him, nor did his mother.

At the age of 16, Inuyama Kari escaped from Inuyama's house. He wandered first, and then joined the demons. It has been 20 years now.

He didn't know if he had degenerated into a ghost, he didn't want to kill people, he didn't like the smell of blood, and when he saw a beautiful girl, he only wanted to appreciate it, and he wouldn't impulsively tear off his clothes to take possession of that beautiful body.

But he should be considered a ghost, right?After all, even a ghost would not kill his father.

Even if a ten-year-old child uses "immortality" to strengthen his body, how much strength can he have?

That night when his father got his first knife, he just fell to the ground in a daze. He stood up and looked down at his father's eyes. The reflection of the bamboo knife raised.

The bamboo knife was raised and swung down, blood splashed again and again, and Inuyama Karuyou, who was still a child, had blood dripping on his fair face, expressionless.

In the end, the blurred mass of flesh and blood gradually extinguished the golden pupil.

Inuyama Kari felt that he must be a crazy evil spirit, but he could read such a meaning from his father's eyes.

"It's so painful, kill me."

……

It rained and cleared during the day, so the night sky was clear and the stars twinkled.

In the narrow and cramped alley, Haruko Miyamoto was sitting on a muddy garbage dump. The rain washed the dirt into the soil and mixed it together. The mud was sticky and smelly. It was broken, and there was bloody smell between the mouth and nose, and there was not much stench.

Inuyama Kari held the honey red bean bread and mineral water he had just bought, passed the alley, turned his head, and saw a girl sitting in the mud.

The girl didn't seem to care about the stench and dirt under her body at all. The white shirt on her body was full of stains, and her long hair was wet with sweat, sticking to her forehead and cheeks in strands. She raised her head and stared at the night sky intently.

Inuyama Karu walked into the alley, and the girl immediately turned her head, like a vigilant wolf.

Inuyama Kari had noticed that she was holding a dagger in her hand, but this weapon was not enough for him.

"Bread, water." Inuyama Kari pointed to the unopened bag and mineral water bottle in his hand, and threw it to the girl.

The girl took the things and still looked at him vigilantly, but the coldness in her eyes melted.

Inuyama Kari took off his coat, took out the contents of his pockets, and threw the coat to the girl: "It's cold, keep warm."

The girl put on the coat slowly.

"What were you looking at just now?" Keeping a safe distance, Inuyama Kari asked her from the air,
"Xingxing," the girl said for the first time, her voice was hoarse, "beautiful."

As she spoke, she stretched out a hand to point to the stars.

"Oh, that's called Polaris, it will guide the direction." Inuyama Kari raised his head and said.

In the clear night sky, the North Star is dazzling.

"That?" The girl pointed to another star.

"Which one? I can't see clearly? Can you let me get closer?" Inuyama Kari asked.

The girl hesitated and nodded.

Inuyama Kari only took a step forward, and looked up at the night sky: "Oh, that one is called Venus."

"That one?" The girl pointed to another one.

"I can't see clearly, can I take another step forward."

The girl nodded.

I don't know when, Inuyama Kari has squatted beside the girl. She pointed to a star, and Inuyama Kari said a name.

Until the end, the girl pointed at herself: "This one?"

Inuyama Kari scratched his head to the right.

The girl smiled, it seemed that a flower had suddenly bloomed in the cramped and messy alley, as dazzling as the North Star in the sky, Inuyama Kari could see it fascinated.

"Miyamoto Haruko," she said.
