Dragon Clan: Reboot Life

Chapter 237 The Beginning (Part [-])
"The food of the night..."

Yuan Zhisheng chewed this word over and over again.

According to the family priests, this is a forbidden place, where ghosts from all ages are imprisoned. He has sensed the gate of the Food of the Night many times, but has never entered it. According to records, this is because his blood is not pure enough. He is indeed an emperor, but compared with his ancestors, the purity of his bloodline is still a bit lower.

"A few days ago, I went to see Principal Ange." Yuan Zhisheng observed Inuyamaga's expression, "When I met the principal, I happened to meet a senior."

Inuyamaga's demeanor changed for an instant, and this did not escape Yuan Zhisheng's gaze.

He knew in his heart that Uesugi Koshi had been staying in Tokyo for so many years but had never been discovered by his family. It was obvious that someone was covering him behind his back.

As the first-generation head of the Japanese branch, Inuyama Ka has this ability.

"Patriarch Inuyama must have met that person more than once, right?" Yuan Zhisheng stopped hiding and went straight to the point.

"... When I was young, I visited the shrine several times with my father. I was only a teenager at that time, and the man was only in his early twenties."

"Oh?" Yuan Zhisheng's heart skipped a beat, "What was he like when he was young?"

"Like everyone, he is a beautiful man." Inuyama Ka recalled the scene in his memory, and he still remembered that Uesugi Koshi was also a somewhat feminine and beautiful man, which was somewhat similar to Minamoto in this respect.

He was startled suddenly.

The memory images in my mind overlapped slightly with those in front of my eyes, and their sitting postures and expressions were unexpectedly similar.

"Beautiful man?" Yuan Zhisheng shook his head, "According to the calculation of Patriarch Miyamoto, the well of bones will be pierced in 48 hours."

"That's two days."

Inuyamaga looked solemnly, knowing that the day of the decisive battle is not far in the future.

"Are you sure you want to kill the god?" he asked, "and not capture it?"

"Why do you want to capture it? What use is that kind of thing to us?" Yuan Zhisheng said quietly, "Whether it is a holy skeleton or a god, it is a joke played by King Bai with us, a cruel joke. It gives us sacred blood, but that's the blood that produced generations of ghosts; it gave us the relics, it showed us the way to evolve into dragons, and it turned out that the blood of the white kings fought to the death for the relics, but the relics never really gave Anyone's power or happiness. White King stands at the end of Huangquan Ancient Road, with a mocking sneer, watching people pray to it for power and happiness."

Inuyamaga lowered his head and listened quietly.

"The reason why the family rejects ghosts so much is because ghosts are the most easily bewitched by holy remains. To some extent, those cruel family rules against ghosts are not aimed at ghosts, but to curb the resurrection of gods. From the ancient age of gods to today, The blood of ghosts is shed for the gods. Our enemy is neither ghosts nor kings, but our own destiny."

Yuan Zhisheng paused word by word,

"We are all cursed people. We are inextricably linked with the White King from birth. The White King's ghost is hidden in our blood. As long as the White King's ghost is not wiped out, the family is always in Japan. A mansion built on floating sand."

Inuyama He asked: "So are you ready to end this curse? No matter how much blood is shed for this, it doesn't matter even if this generation dies, even you will die on the battlefield ?”

"Yes. I'm ready." Yuan Zhisheng sat in front of Inuyamaga, his tall and straight figure was like a majestic mountain, his tone was calm but fearless, "It's not a pity to bleed, it doesn't matter if you die, at least The next generation will have a happier life than ours. As for me..."

Yuan Zhisheng paused, "I am the head of the family, and when the day comes when the blood needs to be shed, I shall stand on the front line."

Inuyama Ka was silent for a long time, he felt the awe-inspiring determination from the young man in front of him.

In fact, he has never been very optimistic about the emperor of this generation of the family, let alone the choice of the Eight Sheqi Clans to abandon the secret party and become independent.

In terms of blood origin, he is not as young as Uesugi Yue back then, and even Uesugi Yue back then failed to defeat Angers on the frontal battlefield.

In terms of mental strategy, the origin is not perfect. The family's prosperity these years is due to the painstaking efforts of the previous generation of patriarchs, and the second is the protection of the secret party. The family has lost its nominal freedom, and it has indeed achieved safe and stable development. time.

In this case, the family's betrayal of the secret party is a hasty choice.

And the new patriarch, Yuan Zhisheng, has never shown the demeanor of a leader. He is more like a martial artist, or a sword, but the leader of the Snake Ba Family should be the person holding the sword, not the sword held by others .

But at this moment, Inuyama Ka suddenly felt that the young man in front of him might really be able to cut off the fate that had troubled the family for thousands of years.

"Did the parents come to me today just to ask about Uesugi Koshi?" Inuyama Ka raised his head, his eyes sparkling.

He guessed that Yuan Zhisheng must have an extremely important mission to find him today.

"Recently, I was thinking about who is the most trustworthy in the family. After thinking about it, I fell on Patriarch Inuyama."

"It's a great honor for me!" Inuyama He was a little surprised, "I wonder if my parents can explain the reason?"

"Is there a reason?" Yuan Zhisheng smiled wryly, "This trust naturally falls on the head of Principal Angers."

Inuyama Ka remained silent for a moment, never expecting such a relationship.

"It sounds like the parents have a good impression of the principal." He asked tentatively.

"I am not against Kassel and Principal Angers." Yuan Zhisheng said indifferently, "I admire Principal Angers very much."

"Then why did the head of the family agree to the family's betrayal of the secret party?" Inuyama He raised his eyebrows.

"I also want to ask, why did your Excellency, who has always been the least insisting on solving problems through war, choose to support it at that meeting?" Yuan Zhisheng asked back.

Inuyama He was dumbfounded.

In the meeting that decided whether the family will fight to the death with the ghosts, he unexpectedly chose to support it. From this perspective, he seems to be no different from Yuan Zhisheng.

They all skipped the topic in unison.

"Patriarch Inuyama... how does he treat the patriarch of the previous generation?" Yuan Zhisheng was silent for a long time, and finally asked quietly.

Inuyama He's complexion changed, and the gaze he looked at Yuan Zhisheng suddenly changed, and he said in a low voice: "Master, what is the meaning of this?"

"Patriarch Inuyama doesn't need to worry too much, he can speak out as much as he can." Yuan Zhisheng said indifferently, "Today's conversation will not fall into the ears of a third person."

"Your Excellency Tachibana Masamune has done his best for the family. Although he is not the master of pioneering talents, he is also the master of success." Inuyama Ka pondered, "Without His Excellency Tachibana Masamune, it is almost impossible for the family to be twisted into one rope. It’s still a time of civil strife.”

He was telling the truth. After the end of World War II, Angers supported him to become the minister of the Japanese branch in 1946, but he stopped there. He failed to become the patriarch of Uesugi Echigo.

The position of patriarch of the family has been vacant for decades. Because of the lack of blood from the upper three families, none of the lower five families will accept anyone.

It wasn't until the appearance of Tachibana Masamune, and even the appearance of the two brothers Yuan Zhisheng one after another, that the family gradually became cohesive.

"I learned from Senior Uesugi Eshi that he should be the last bloodline of the Kamisan Clan." Yuan Zhisheng said softly.

Inuyama He said silently: "The lineage of the head of the family has been confirmed, and it is indeed the most precious royal blood of the family."

He knew what Yuan Zhisheng was alluding to. At the beginning, the family had great doubts about the appearance of Tachibana Masamune and Yuan Zhisheng brothers, because back then Uesugi Koshi was known as the last member of the three families, but the most recent In the past ten years, three blood descendants of the Shangsan family have appeared one after another.

It is only with the bloodline verification of the priests, coupled with the "imperial bloodlines" shown by the follow-up Yuan Zhisheng, that the patriarchs have to be convinced.

"Patriarch Inuyama is not curious about my origin?"

"Did the parents find any clues about their parents?"

"I chatted with Mr. Masamune for a long time yesterday, and finally got some unexpected information." Yuan Zhisheng said expressionlessly, "According to what he said, I am actually a product of genetic engineering."

"Genetic engineering?" Inuyama He frowned, and suddenly thought of something, his pupils dilated suddenly.

When his father was still alive, he sighed many times in the middle of the night and worried about the future of the family. He also accidentally heard from his father that the elders of the family had taken Uesugi Koshi's gene and sent it to Germany, trying to create a new emperor through technological means. In order to replace the "disobedient" Uesugi Yue!
But I have never heard of the success of this plan, and this is a matter of the 40s and 80s, seven or eighty years have passed.

"If it's genetic engineering... then who is your father?" Inuyama He whispered.

"In terms of blood relationship, Uesugi Yue should be regarded as my father."

Inuyama He never expected that when the man in front of him talked about his biological father, he would be so calm as water, as if he was talking about a stranger.

This conversation went on for as long as an hour.

Inuyamaga listened to Minamoto's story in shock.

In the story of Yuan Zhisheng, Mr. Masamune, the patriarch of the previous generation, turned out to be the source of the great changes in the family in a sense. It was he who brought the Lenin, which caused the Lenin to sink to the bottom of the sea and became a sacrifice for King Bai to wake up. It brought the royal blood that the Bajia of Sheqi had been waiting for...

In the end, Inuyama He couldn't remember how he got out of this room.

After sending Inuyamaga away, Yuan Zhisheng sat alone in the room for a long time before walking out of the room.

He came to the top of the rooftop, where Sakura waited for a long time.

"Did it go well?" Yuan Zhisheng asked softly.

Sakura nodded: "Very well."

Yuan Zhisheng nodded and said nothing.

Just now he actually lied to Inuyamaga about one thing, there is no third person tonight, under his arrangement, all their previous conversations have accidentally fallen into Tachibana Masamune's ears.

Yuan Zhisheng looked up at the dark night sky, his eyes were as deep and unspeakable as the night sky.

Even Sakura didn't know what he was thinking at the moment.

　For this part of the setting, I chose to mix the serial version and the single-volume version, so don’t be surprised to see some places that are different from your memory, everything serves the plot
