Tokyo Survival from Tamamomae

"It's normal for you to be surprised. After all, when I first heard about it, I looked like you."

Fujiwara Kirei didn't seem surprised by Haoren's behavior, he stroked his white beard lightly and smiled.

"No, grandpa, what is going on?"

"Let me ask you, you should have heard the allusion that Minamoto Yoshitsune learned art from Tengu, right?"

"I've heard of it. But Ushiwakamaru isn't..."

It was precisely because he had heard it that Haoren was surprised.

In the allusion, Ushiwakamaru did learn martial arts from Tengu when he was a child, but he has never heard that Ushiwakamaru himself is a Tengu demon!
"I know what you want to ask. This matter is a long story, and it will be difficult to explain it for a while. Generally, you can understand that when Minamoto Yoshitsune was about to die, her master—that is, the legendary A tengu demon replaced her with demon blood, and passed on her lifelong demon power.

Since then, she has shed her human body and turned into a monster through and through..."

What Fujiwara Kirei said moved Hao Ren instantly.

Because, the Ushiwakamaru in his words is so similar to his experience.

Replacing bloodlines, imparting demonic power...

Isn't this exactly what Yuzao did to him before?

However, what surprised Haoren even more was yet to come.

"It's strange to say that after she became a monster, she didn't lose her human sanity like those half-demons, and became only know how to kill and kill, but she still retained her humanity.

It is also because she retains her humanity, became the Queen of the Tengu Demon, did not harm humans, and even often protected the descendants of the Genji clan.

The Yaozu has a long lifespan, and even now, she still exists in the world and has become a high-ranking member of the Tengu Yaozu.

And after she became a high-level member of the Tengu Clan, she tried her best to avoid the conflict between the Tengu Clan and humans, and even chose to be neutral in the third human-monster war.

Although she has become a monster, she is also the ancestor of the Genji clan anyway, and she often helps the younger generation and human beings.

Therefore, the Genji clan recognized this ancestor, and for this reason, a special shrine was established to worship her.

Moreover, the attitude of the three major spiritual institutions in the island country towards the Tengu clan is completely different from that of other monster clans. A large part of the reason is the existence of Minamoto Yoshitsune.

Of course, this is a secret of the Genji clan, and the three major agencies have tacitly understood this, and most people still don't know the truth..."

"So...that's it..."

It has to be said that what Fujiwara Kirei said resonated in Haoren's heart.

Having encountered the same situation as Ushiwakamaru, he felt as if he had found the same kind.

That's fine.

But the ending of Ushiwakamaru is quite good.

After becoming a monster, he was not regarded as an enemy by human beings and kept chasing after him.

On the contrary, he was recognized as an ancestor by the Genji clan, and a statue was built to enshrine it. Even the three major exorcism agencies treated him with an ambiguous attitude.

This gave Haoren a glimmer of hope.

What hope?
Nature is the hope of peaceful coexistence with mankind!
You know, since he became a nine-tailed fox demon, he has been worrying about his personal safety all the time, for fear that one day, if he accidentally reveals his identity as a fox demon, he will be chased by a large group of spiritual masters and strangled on the spot.

He used to think that human beings and monster races had a deep blood feud, and the spirit-eliminating agencies were unreasonable existences, and they would kill monsters when they saw them.

But seeing what happened to Ushiwakamaru now, maybe things are not as bad as he imagined.

Although this is because Ushiwakamaru is not an enemy of humans, but often helps humans and takes care of the younger generation...

But he doesn't intend to be an enemy of human beings, and even became close friends with the Queen of Britain, the head of the Miko organization.

Maybe, I can also be like Ushiwakamaru...

Hao Ren thought about it, and soon thought of another question.

"Wait, Grandpa, I understand what you said, but the ancestor of the Genji clan is a tengu demon, what does it have to do with you asking me to come here?"

These were the original words of Fujiwara Kirei before, and Haoren took advantage of the situation to ask them.

"There is some connection, but not much. The reason why I asked you to come here this time, I think you know well..."

"Is it because I awakened the emperor's blood of our Fujiwara clan?"

"That's right, the bloodline awakeners of our Fujiwara clan haven't appeared since the end of the third human-monster war in 200 years. Your father and I, as well as your great-grandfather, your great-great-grandfather, haven't awakened bloodlines.

In fact, the Genji clan, like our Fujiwara clan, also has the power of bloodlines, and it has not been a long time since there has been a bloodline awakening.

The awakened bloodline is random and we cannot control it. The only known way to increase the chance of awakening is to marry a family with a different bloodline.

Therefore, our Fujiwara clan and the Minamoto clan have been married for generations. If we want to marry, we will only choose the bride and groom of the Minamoto clan. Your deceased grandma is Minamoto's own sister..."

"Ha, isn't Master Yuan my uncle? Wait, grandpa, what do you mean by saying that? Do you want me to marry Master Yuan...a junior from my uncle's family?"

So isn't this an incestuous marriage?This is too much punishment!
Facing Haoren's question, Fujiwara Kirei shook his head.

"That's not the case. This generation of the Genji clan has no other direct descendants except Minamoto Laichang and your grandmother, and the old man Mina has no other choice but to regard you as the heir of Genji.

So this time, one of the reasons why I came here with you is that we two old men came forward to help you stabilize your awakened blood.

Another reason is that the old man Yuan wants you to worship the ancestors of the Genji clan and officially inherit the Genji clan, and the object of worship is the Tengu statue.

The last reason is to urge you to give birth to offspring as soon as possible, and adopt one to Genji..."

"Ha, let me inherit Genji? Adoptive child?"

"Yes, the Genji family has no other direct descendants, so you don't have to abide by the marriage rules of our two families, as long as you can find a healthy girl with spiritual power to marry."

"I see, no wonder you are so anxious to urge me and Liu Meichan..."

Haoren was slightly taken aback, a little dumbfounded.

The method of adopting blood-related children is indeed a method for some families to ensure the inheritance of incense.

These Haoren didn't have any objections, anyway, one was his grandfather and the other was his uncle.

But what Fujiwara Kirei said made him suddenly think of a person——his dead father.

"Then, what about my father, since the Genji clan has lost track with Uncle Yuan, did he not marry a girl from the Genji clan? Where is my mother from?"

Speaking of which, Haoren hadn't seen his mother much since he was a child.

According to my grandfather, my mother seemed to have committed something and was arrested and imprisoned.

He also asked Fujiwara Kirei several times since he was a child, but he never got an answer.

How Fujiwara Kirei replied when he was a child, Haoren can't remember clearly, but this time, the other party's reaction surprised him slightly.

"Don't mention that woman in front of me!"
