The rain fell like rain.
The silver-white rain curtain can almost block the view. The umbrella supported by the steel frame can only struggle to hold up under such rain. The leaves are smashed to pieces by the raindrops. The air no longer has the sultry heat of summer, and the rain has dispersed it. They bring a cool and refreshing feeling. The rainwater falling on the eaves of the shrine creates a beautiful parabola. The century-old cherry trees in the garden are covered with sad cherry snow.
The men in black, with short swords in white sheaths stuck to their waists, passed under the burnt torii gate, walking in unison and in unison, walking through the stone steps strewn with cherry blossoms, and stopped under the vermilion stone wall in front of the main shrine. After bowing deeply three times, they dispersed into two teams.
The eight people who entered the shrine next were holding umbrellas and wearing formal kimonos. The men wore black patterned haori and the women wore black sleeves. They looked ahead with solemn expressions. They walked on both sides of the street as they passed through the burnt torii gate. The men bowed deeply, and the whole scene was solemn and quiet.
At the head is Minamoto Tatsuo, followed by Minamoto Tatsuo and Uesugi Eri, followed by the heads of the five outside families. After they entered the main hall, the rest of the men and women in suits slowly came. Walk in slowly.
There were a large number of them, but they did not cause any trouble. When they took their seats in the large main hall, no one made a mistake. They all knew where their positions should be, and the positions of this gathering were basically unchanged from the last time.
Among the few changes, the most important change was that of the leader... Everyone looked at the center of the temple, which was also the highest place. There was no longer a silver-haired, kind-faced old man who was not angry or proud, but a young man. He is even younger than most of the people present, but now he is sitting in the position of leader. He is justified and does not feel inappropriate at all, as if he was born for this position.
Usually his position should be on one side, but now the old man who should be sitting in the center is dead, so he can only sit in his current position. The most important thing to do today is to move his This position is fixed.
"Everyone, everyone is here." Sakura, who was in a black close-fitting suit, presented the roster to Yuan Zhisheng. Behind her were Yasha and Crow. The two had been clamoring for soy sauce for so many days. They came back, but Yuan Zhisheng had been worried that their bad character might anger Mo Qiuran, so he chose to let them out. But today, as his confidants, it would be unjustifiable if he let them out.
When the master is about to become the head of the family, the status of his close subordinates will naturally rise. Crow and Yaksha are happy. Fortunately, after all these years, at least their expressions have been managed quite well and they still look solemn.
"Okay," Yuan Zhisheng nodded and looked around, "Let's get started."
…
"My son is so handsome!"
A little further away, in a pavilion on the mountain, Uesugi said proudly.
Knowing that today was an important day, he was finally not wearing the clothes of a ramen chef. Instead, he was wearing a gold-embellished kimono that looked decent.
According to him, it was dug out from the bottom of the box specifically for today's important day. He originally planned to pawn it and sell it to get some money for the dance hall, but then he remembered that there was a family crest on it, so he definitely couldn't sell it. , even if I sold it, there would be trouble later, so I just kept it. I didn’t expect that it could still be used today, which was an unexpected surprise.
I have to say that this ramen chef was once a [King of Shadows]. After changing into this outfit, he really had a bit of a "king spirit", but this feeling basically disappeared after he opened his mouth. .
As for why he didn't go down to the main hall to participate in this ceremony directly... Uesugoshi's idea is that he doesn't want to return to the Seraki Hachi family, because in his opinion, the imperial blood is a curse that should not continue, and the reason for contacting him now is purely because When he was old, he was delighted that the son he had received as his father would become the head of the family.
After all, it is impossible to cut off the blood connection. If you can help, you can help. However, Uesugoshi does not want to show up unless it is absolutely necessary. The previous time was enough. If he participates now... that is do what? Stealing the spotlight from your own son?
So Uesugoshi stayed here, preparing to witness this moment through the monitor screen.
And to be on guard against the King General who is very likely to come back and cause trouble... Uesugoshi had already learned about the King General and Tachibana Masamune from Minamoto Chiaki.
In addition to the monstrous anger at what that hellish devil-like guy did, he was also jealous. One thing I had to admit was that General Wang was definitely a capable and strategic guy. After all, he first relied on a pure Being an outsider, not even a foreigner from the Waiwu family, becoming the head of the eight Sheqi families is a difficult and almost impossible task!
It can be said that if Wang Jiang and Tachibana Masamune are two people, then what he does is definitely the most competent patriarch in the history of the Sheqi family, the kind that no one has ever done before... But now the two are one person, when this person When all the beneficial things done are for another selfish purpose and create more harm, this person must be eradicated!
It only takes a moment to go from great to terrible.
So as a father, if he fails to fulfill his responsibility of raising his son, then he should help them take revenge!
Uesugoshi thinks that he has no great abilities. He is a mess when it comes to general principles. There is no way to impart experience and lessons. The only thing he can do is to fight... It just so happens that his old bones have healed. It hasn’t been touched in decades, and I even feel a little bit looking forward to it!
"Master, we admit that your son is very handsome, and his appearance may even have reached the average of our panel...maybe a little bit higher," Fingel added after seeing Uesugoshi's eyes. , "But why do we need to be here, can't we go down together?"
"What's so good about going down there? Let's not mention that you need important members of the clan to go down there. I haven't even gone there, so what's the point for you to go down there?" Uesugi glanced at Fingel and said, "Besides, you can adapt to being down there. The etiquette of kneeling down?"
"You can't, you can't! The master is indeed a master, he is so wise!" Fingel said with a thumbs up showing his white teeth.
"That's right, that kind of thing is purely anti-human! I always thought about getting rid of this link back then, but unfortunately I was too hasty and forgot about it after burning down the family history museum... " Uesugoshi shook his head and said. It's not that his body can't bear to sit in that posture for a long time, but... he doesn't have the patience!
"Um...can I take the liberty to ask, Master, why did you have to burn down your family history library when you ran away from home?" Fingel asked with his eyes widened.
There must be a lot of valuable information in the family history museum of the eight Sheqi families. It’s a no-brainer!
But this was all burned down by Uesugoshi?
He is simply the most prodigal son in history!
"Ahem... All those materials are curses, even the royal blood in my body... That's why I burned those things!"
Uesugoshi doesn't want to discuss the "heroic feats" he once performed. It is well known that most people will feel "the past is too painful to look back" when looking back on the past. In the common saying, "How could I be so bad at that time?" Before It was purely an accident that I mentioned it!
"By the way, don't you have someone else? That... Mo Qiuran, right? I remember that he seems to have very strong strength, and he is also the protégé of that guy Angers?" Uesugi Yue asked.
"Proud disciple..." Fingel and Chu Zihang looked at each other. Isn't Mo Qiuran a student of Professor Schneider? When did you become the principal's favorite student?
Could it be that the principal saw that Mo Qiuran was extremely talented and decided to take over Mo Qiuran's love and accept him as a closed disciple?
Or are you just bragging in front of old acquaintances?
"He should still be climbing the mountain now. There is an organization planning to complete a deal with him." Fingel looked at his watch.
…
"It's almost twelve o'clock..." Mo Qiuran took out his phone and looked at it and muttered.
Mount Fuji is not covered with snow all year round. Unless it is located at an altitude of more than 4,500 meters, it can be covered with snow all year round. The altitude of the top of Mount Fuji is only about 3,700 meters, so it can only be The seasonal snow turns into a dark volcano every summer.
As an active volcano, Mount Fuji has been experiencing large-scale eruptions in recent years... To be honest, Mo Qiuran doesn't want Mount Fuji to be a big one, mainly because it is too close to China. If it were located on the Hawaiian Island, I would love it. You can spray it however you want, but when the distance is so close, it is very powerful and it is very likely to affect the coast.
Compared with natural disasters like "everything is a rotten dog", Mo Qiuran still prefers man-made disasters...at least controllable.
"So where has this damn "Perfect Evolution" organization gone? Isn't it planning to let me go?" Mo Qiuran frowned and looked around.
According to the call from the doctor yesterday, he said that he would call Mo Qiuran at this time to discuss the last resort... twelve o'clock is also the "official" last time for the hunter website.
Once this time passes and the "Perfect Evolution" organization has not confirmed the transaction result, the hunter website will automatically confirm it... and then Mo Qiuran can get one million US dollars for nothing.
Although for Mo Qiuran, one million US dollars is just a wave of his hand, but who doesn't like making so much for nothing, right?
It was raining heavily all around, but Mo Qiuran did not hold an umbrella. The rainwater had already moved away when it was about to fall. From a distance, it looked like a semi-circular transparent semicircle. What separates Mo Qiuran from the rainwater is a [realm]-like existence!
Such a field was maintained until Mo Qiuran climbed here. It was about three to four hundred meters above sea level from the top of Fuji. Mo Qiuran climbed up almost in one breath. He had to drive for several hours. It only took about half an hour...probably because he ran the whole distance and went straight up the mountain.
Anyway, climbing Mount Fuji is prohibited in such weather... So Mo Qiuran didn't mind showing off some "special" methods.
Of course, the most important thing is something else... Mo Qiuran closed his eyes and instantly switched to another field of view - this field of view was soaring in the sky at this moment!
Stormy weather, dense clouds, blue ice crystal giant eagles flying in the dark clouds, as fast as a blue lightning, unless you have special detection capabilities, it is impossible to detect... Of course, this Even the ice crystal eagle's super vision will be affected by the weather, but it still has a fairly wide field of vision!
Mo Qiuran has never been one to passively wait and then fight back. He creates opportunities when there are no opportunities! Following the clues is what he wants to do most!
It's just that as long as the other party is not a fool, he probably won't give you this kind of opportunity... But you can get a million dollars in that way, right?
Another wave of good news with no loss at all!
Of course, according to Mo Qiuran's idea, as long as the other party is an organization with some normal brains, they will not send anyone to this transaction. The purpose is just to divert themselves away, and then put the main line elsewhere... For example, everyone is holding a meeting Long succession ceremony for the eight Sheqi families?
Mo Qiuran doesn't believe that the Perfect Evolution Organization has nothing to do with the King General. This organization can reach out to all parts of the world. It obviously has a solid and powerful foundation, and what it does is exactly the same as that of the Fierce Ghosts. Fittingly, the king general who has mastered the "black and white" of the Japanese underworld will ignore or not know the existence of such an organization?
Even though there was no direct evidence, Mo Qiuran still made such an association.
But even after realizing this, Mo Qiuran still came because he was confident!
If Masamune Tachibana, or General Wang, really had that intention, to divert himself away, and then make a backhand plan to control the situation until it was too late when he realized it...
He will definitely receive a huge surprise!
Just as he was thinking about it, Mo Qiuran's cell phone finally rang.
"Your Excellency, our people are waiting for your arrival at the top of the mountain, and the money for the transaction has been prepared..." said a gloomy voice.
Mo Qiuran didn't even think about talking nonsense with the other party. He hung up the phone and quickly ran and jumped towards the top of the mountain... In his eagle eye view, there was no one on the top of Mount Fuji!
Then the interesting thing comes... No one is there, but it is said that there is someone... What is the reason?
"She has some brains, and her handwriting is pretty good... It has nothing to do with me this time, right? It was the other party who did it!" Mo Qiuran thought to himself, as the distance to the top of the mountain was closing rapidly.
Although he had vaguely guessed what would happen there, he still wanted to go.
Walking into the trap carefully designed by the other party, and then walking out intact and swaggering, this is the most shocking thing to people's mentality!
Mo Qiuran likes to do this kind of thing!
