Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 186 Visiting the Inuyama House

"Perhaps, we have endured it for too long." Patriarch Inuyama shook his head and exhaled foul breath.

He held Onimaru Kunizun around his waist. The sword had been out of its sheath for so long that even he almost forgot the weight of the blade.

He is indeed old, and his reflexes have become dull.

Perhaps, the lifestyle of the older generation is no longer suitable for this era.

Lu Mingfei's back, that flashing cold light, and the rolling head that fell onto the table appeared in front of his eyes.

Only when you show your sharpness can you show your majesty.

When peace can still be maintained, people always want to maintain peace, but if you let them go one foot today, they will go one foot tomorrow. Blindly forbearance will never bring you respect, and you must show iron-blooded wrists when necessary.

He has been the head of the family for 60 years and has already understood this truth.

But are they really powerful enough?
The struggle between the ghosts and the family is endless, and there has never been a result.

In the end, will the source of the ghosts be uprooted, as Mr. Masamune said, or will the blood of the family be drained, and countless people will be buried in this war.

Whatever the reason, war is always evil.

If it can be solved by peaceful means, he certainly wants to solve it by peaceful means. This has always been the truth he believes in.

But suddenly, he recalled the broken picture many years ago.

The American colonel was on top of his sister, the setting sun shone on his father's body, and the eldest sister who died on the street opened her arms.

That year, he was 18 years old.

The American colonel played with his sister recklessly, but he didn't even have the courage to resist, so he could only kneel down in a low voice.

Because that is the "benefactor" of the Inuyama family, the last talisman of the Inuyama family.

At the age of 18, he understood a truth: war will always bring only evil, whether it is the winner or the loser, there will only be devastation in the end.

He really doesn't want to usher in a new war, too many innocent people will be involved, so he has always been the most steadfast forbearance faction among the eight families.

But today's experience made him change his mind slightly.

"Masters, please inform me of the results of the meeting later." Inuyama He sighed, stood up and bowed, "No matter what the result is, I will accompany you with my life."

After speaking, he strode away, went straight to the gate, and disappeared into the night.

The whole hall was silent, and the sound of breathing was clear in my ears.

Tachibana Masamune watched Patriarch Inuyama go away, then clapped his hands, and the priest in white brought in two white screens and set them up behind him.

The ink-stained writing brush and pen stand were put down together. Tachibana Masamune stood up and swayed on the screen wantonly, writing the hearty "war" character and the round and graceful "forbearance" character.

"If you feel that the family should fight to the death with the fierce ghosts, please write the orthographic characters under the left screen. If you think the family should continue to be patient, please write the orthographic characters under the right screen." Tachibana Masamune said: "I am the head of the Tachibana family. I swear in the name of the parents that no matter what kind of speech you say tonight, you will not be punished. Whether you support me or oppose me, I am sincerely grateful, and I give up my money."

After speaking, he covered his eyes with a white cloth and sat between two screens.

Speechless, the atmosphere is full of depression.

No one got up, just sat where they were.

Their strokes represent the future of the family, and the future of tens of thousands of people under the tents of the Eight Snake Family.

The dead silence continued, only the seat of Patriarch Inuyama was vacant.

With a long sigh, Patriarch Feng Mo finally got up.

"Perhaps as Patriarch Inuyama said, we have endured it for too long. My family members died at home. This is something I can't bear." Patriarch Fengmo picked up a pen full of thick ink and drew under the screen with the word "war". a sum.

More people got up, mostly young people, and they all wrote under the word "war".

The rest of the Patriarchs are still hesitating. They bear the lives of too many people. "Fighting" is easy to say, but blood and bones are needed to pile up the honor of victory.

Some elders finally expressed their views and wrote under "forbearance".

The scales on both sides gradually become symmetrical, and there is no distinction between high and low for a while.

It wasn't until Yuan Zhisheng stood up suddenly, and drew a strong stroke in the column of the word "war".

The crow's pale face lingered in his mind, and what he feared most was losing the people around him.

And in the past two months of tracking down the "White" manufacturing plant, he has seen too many human tragedies, such evil deeds are outrageous!
The sins of the fierce ghosts will be wiped out!

The scales gradually tipped over, and fighting spirit emerged in the palace.

Only Patriarch Uesugi was still sitting there, playing with his mobile phone while ignoring his surroundings.

This storm is coming, it seems to have nothing to do with her.

The next day, early morning.

In the quiet courtyard, the spring breeze blew, and new buds sprouted from the branches, revealing a touch of vitality.

The warm spring sun sheds a ray of golden light, shining in the gurgling clear water, sparkling, and the koi fish swim in the water, as if they are swimming in the air and have nothing to support.

On the corridor facing the courtyard, there were four people sitting, with thick Japanese-style teacups beside them, and what was soaking in the highest grade Gyokuro.

"Little friend Lu Mingfei can get used to this tea." Inuyama He took a sip of tea, exhaling hot air from his mouth.

Gyokuro is the highest grade of Japanese tea.

It is said that even one hundred tea trees may not be able to find one to produce Yulu.

20 days before germination, tea farmers will put up straw to carefully protect the top of the tea tree and block sunlight so that the tea tree can grow soft new buds.

After the buds are picked, they are steamed immediately and twisted into long and thin tea leaves.

This kind of tea only needs to be brewed with warm water at 50 degrees.When you drink it in your mouth, the temperature will be lower, so you don't have to be afraid of burning your mouth.

"Good tea." Lu Mingfei gave a thumbs up.

He doesn't understand the grade of tea, but the tea is so clear that it is not as bitter as the tea he drank before. Instead, it has a sweetness, as if drinking a clear spring in the mountains, refreshing Refreshing.

After Lu Mingfei got up in the morning, he called Inuyamaga according to the number on his business card, explaining the intention of the three of them to visit.

After only 10 minutes, the special car came to pick them up.

All three of them changed into gray kimonos.

Today is the secret burial of Inuyama Yuka and Inuyama Ryo.

Secret burial is also called family burial. Only relatives of the deceased can participate in this kind of funeral. Usually, there are about 10 to 20 people in attendance.

The preparation period for social burial is longer and more expensive.

Some poorer families usually bury the dead after a secret burial.

Because the cemetery is the most expensive place for the entire funeral, due to urbanization, there is less and less land available for burial, and Japan has reached the point where it is difficult to find a tomb.

The total annual income of an ordinary family can only buy the cheapest cemetery, and they may not be able to grab the right to buy it.

But the Inuyama family does not have such a problem, they have their own family cemetery.

Even in Tokyo, where the land is precious, the Inuyama family has a large cemetery that has been passed down for many years.

"Afterwards, the monks from the temple will come to chant sutras and give precepts to Yuka and Liang." Inuyama He looked at the rockery in the courtyard, "Today is really not suitable for singing and dancing, please forgive me, I don't know if the three are fasting ?”

Caesar said, "Let's follow the rules of the Inuyama family."

"Everyone, don't be offended." Inuyama He waved his hand: "You are not related to the Inuyama family. If you are not used to eating, I will send someone to cook another table for you."

"The dead are the big ones, Patriarch Inushan, there is no need to treat us with special privileges." Lu Mingfei shook his head.

"Then I will arrange it together." Inuyama He nodded and said: "Yuka and Liang's relatives have been guarding in front of the coffin all night, and we haven't had time to offer incense. After the monks come to offer incense, we will eat simple vegetarian meals. "

"Have the bodies of Miss Yuxiang and Mr. Liang been transported back to Inuyama's house?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"After the inspection at the headquarters, they were transported back home early this morning, and the parents were able to meet." Inuyama Ka lamented: "It's just that neither of them has a complete body, and they are being placed in the mourning hall at the moment, covered with a black cloth. "

"May the deceased rest in peace." Lu Mingfei clasped his hands together and said softly.

"I don't know what kind of people Ms. Youxiang and Mr. Liang are like on weekdays." Chu Zihang asked.

Although the three of them were here as guests on the surface, they were actually here to inquire about information.

The focus is on "Inuyama Yuka", the secret behind this assassin who can use "Sword Control".

"I don't know much about Liang." Inuyama He whispered: "But Yuka, she is a very good child. She worshiped me as a foster father when she was 5 years old. It can be said that I watched her grow up, but I didn't know her. Thinking of the unexpected disaster, I died in my youth."

The three asked about Inuyama Yuka's news on the sidelines, and chatted with Inuyama He while drinking tea.

Suddenly, a man in black came to Inuyamaga and bowed.

"Report to Patriarch, Patriarch, Patriarch of Minamoto and Patriarch Uesugi have come to visit and have arrived outside the door."

"Patriarch Uesugi?" Inuyama Ka frowned, stood up, and the man in black put on a haori for him.

He could still understand the elders and Yuan Zhisheng, and they probably came to the door in person to inform him of the results of last night's meeting, but Patriarch Uesugi...
He thought about it and didn't know why this one came.

With a solemn expression, he said apologetically to Lu Mingfei and the others: "Everyone, I have something important to do, so I have to be excused for the time being."

Then he waved his hand, and three young maids in kimonos knelt down in front of them.

"If the three of you want to visit the Inuyama family land, you can ask them to take you there."

"Under Zhuxu."

"My next Kumiko."

"Under Kaori."

The maids introduced themselves. Although they are maids, they are all first-class beauties.

The silky smooth long hair is coiled on the head, and a simple hairpin is inserted. The wide kimono can't cover up their plump and graceful figure curves. The skin is as thin as fat and can be broken by blowing, and the moist oval face , black eyes, is a typical Japanese beauty.

But with the dancer Zhuyu in front of Yuzao, it would not be particularly amazing.

"Let's just sit here and have a cup of tea, Patriarch Inushan, let's get busy." Lu Mingfei said.

Inuyama He nodded and hurried away.

The three maids also bowed, retreated from the corridor, and stood guard at the end of the corridor.

"The body of Yuka Inuyama is here, we must find a chance to take a look." Caesar leaned over and whispered.

"It's not difficult to visit, but her body is covered by a black cloth, so it's very difficult to check the details. The mourning hall is full of people, and we can't go to the dead body in front of the family members." Chu Zihang said.

"This will be arrested as a corpse insulter." Lu Mingfei worried: "How about we go to Genji Heavy Industries to find the autopsy report."

"According to what you said, Genji Heavy Industries is a complete industrial building. Unless we ask for it, Yuan Zhisheng is willing to give it to me. Otherwise, where can we find the one that belongs to Yuka Inuyama from tens of thousands of materials? Autopsy report," Caesar said.

"We just need to confirm whether this 'Yuka Inuyama' is the real Yuka Inuyama." After thinking about it, Chu Zihang said: "Although the black cloth is separated, the height and body shape can probably be estimated. There are some basic data of her in last night's file, it should not be difficult to determine whether they are the same person."

"Then go to the mourning hall first." Caesar said.

"Okay." Lu Mingfei nodded.

The three drank the tea in the teacups in one gulp, and beckoned the maid to come.

The main hall of the Inuyama family.

Tachibana Masamune sat kneeling on the tatami, with Erika and Minamoto on his left and right.

Although Patriarch Uesugi was sitting, his eyes couldn't stop looking around, as if he was quite curious about everything around him.
There was a calligraphy and painting by a famous artist on the wall. She took out her mobile phone to take a picture, and her feet in plain white foot bags wriggled restlessly.

【I'm going out today^_^】

She typed on her phone and sent the photo to Sakura.

In the chat box, the last chat history is displayed the day before yesterday.

Patriarch Inuyama entered, Yuan Zhisheng shouted in a low voice: "Eriyi, Eriyi."

Patriarch Uesugi heard his brother's voice, and quickly turned off the screen of his mobile phone, put it in the bag of the maiden uniform, and sat upright.

Patriarch Inuyama sat opposite the three of them, with his hands on his knees.

"I'm here today to tell Patriarch Inuyama the result of yesterday's meeting. There were 240 people who supported 'war' and 190 people who supported 'forbearance'. Including Patriarch Inuyama, a total of eight people abstained." Tangerine Masamune said.

"I understand, I am willing to obey the family's decision." Inuyama He nodded.

"Thank you for the support of Patriarch Inuyama." Masamune Tachibana said, "I have one more thing to ask Patriarch Inuyama for today."

He looked at Patriarch Uesugi on the left, Patriarch Uesugi bowed to Patriarch Inuyama as if he had rehearsed in advance, Tachibana Masamune and Minamoto also bowed together.

"Master, why do you send this gift!" Inuyama Ka quickly supported Tachibana Masamune's shoulder.

"I really have something important to ask." Tachibana Masamune said slowly: "Of all the Sheqi eight families, only the Inuyama family holds shares in a private high school. Erika has turned eighteen, but has never been to campus. I know There are many inconveniences in this matter, but I hope Patriarch Inuyama can help."

After saying that, Yuan Zhisheng took out a stack of reports from his arms.

Inuyamaga frowned, looking at the girl who was leaning over.
