Dragon Clan: Reboot Life

Chapter 164 The Food of the Night
"You guys have been waiting for a long time."

A man in a black-patterned haori draped strides in through the main entrance.

Like a sharp long knife cutting through everything, the sharpness between his brows made everyone in the room turn their eyes away.

The old man who sat at the top suddenly showed joy in his eyes.

He looked at Yuan Zhisheng now, as if he saw a knife that could cut off fate.

The knife is out of the sheath, so who can stop it?

But he also had doubts in his heart, obviously this child was full of hesitation before, why did he have such an astonishing determination now?

Yuan Zhisheng went straight to the small table of Yuan's house and sat down, looking around, no one dared to move, the sense of oppression was almost substantive.

The hall was extremely quiet, and the sound of the rain became more and more clear to the ears.

The old man sitting at the head applauded first, and everyone in the hall began to applaud.

Applause for this man who let his aura radiate to the audience as soon as he stepped into the main hall.

Wait until the applause completely subsides.

The old man adjusted his kimono, stood up, took a few steps back, and bowed deeply.

Everyone was surprised that the person who bowed to them was the head of the family.

The Bajia of Sheqi practiced a very old family system, and the status of the patriarchs was so respected that the younger generations would not even have the opportunity to meet Mr. Masamune, so they were all grateful for the "summoning".

And now the elders actually bowed to them!
Only then did they realize that the importance of this meeting far exceeded their imagination.

"I have been the head of the family for ten years. In the past ten years, I have been honored to know you, to be recognized by you, and to bear this history with you. These years have passed without complaint or regret. I have entrusted you with your care over the years, Reluctantly maintaining this family, many things are not perfect, causing trouble to everyone." The old man said.

"Mr. Masamune is taking care of us." Patriarch Fengmo spoke first.

"Mr. Masamune is taking care of us!" Everyone said in unison.

"We are all one family. Without everyone's efforts, I, the patriarch, would have died long ago." The old man waved his hand and signaled everyone to sit down.

"It's raining again, I really miss it!" He sat down himself, "I came to Japan for the first time many years ago, when the plane landed, I opened the door, and it was raining like this outside, the wind was wet and cold, cold to the bone."

"Thinking about it now, it turns out that so many years have passed at once. We have gained a lot and lost a lot in these years."

"I go to a lot of funerals every year, wearing dark glasses to hide the pain, and I think, when will this end? We grow stronger and our enemies grow because they are one with us. Yes."

"Like a thriving tree, the tree is growing, and the shade it casts is slowly covering more areas."

"What do you mean, Patriarch?" Patriarch Feng Mo said in a deep voice.

"It's time." The old man blushed angrily, "They should never have touched the final bottom line, they are trying to get back on the road to hell!"

"Road to the Underworld?!" Patriarch Feng Mo was terrified, "Isn't that a legend?"

"Never." The old man said coldly, "It's just that the family blocked this road, because this road will bring destruction! All those who try to become pure-blooded dragons are our endless enemies!"

"Pure blood dragon?" Everyone looked at the old man in shock.

"It's time to tell the young people the truth about the closed history." The old man nodded at Patriarch Fengmo.

"After that person burned the family's archives, many previous materials have been lost, especially those absurd things."

Patriarch Fengmo said in a deep voice,
"Everyone should know Gao Tianyuan. It is recorded in the family records that when Gao Tianyuan comes to the world again, the gate of the Netherworld will be opened, and the mother goddess Yizang Ranzun who was imprisoned there will be free again. After that, Amaterasu , Tsukiyomi, and Susanoo will return to her arms, and the world will return to the era of God!"

The Patriarch of the Inuyama family shook his head and said, "Do you believe this kind of thing?"

In Japanese mythology, Takamagahara is the place where the gods gather.

According to the truth recorded by the Eight Sects of Sheqi, Gao Tianyuan is the domain of the dragon and the domain of the White King!

But this legendary place has been sealed and buried in the deep sea by Amaterasu and Yueyomi.

"Don't underestimate dragons!" the old man said in a low voice, "Everyone, we are proud of our bloodlines, how can we underestimate the source that gave us this bloodline? That is the real god!"

"To be precise..." Patriarch Feng Mo was silent for a long time, as if what was about to be revealed would be a shocking secret.

He didn't know if it was right or wrong to unseal these secrets that should have been buried forever.

"The one buried in the deep sea is not the real Gao Tianyuan..."

Everyone was shocked by this sentence.

The burial place of the gods is the deepest secret hidden by the family. The bones of the gods are hidden there. It used to be a place where all the gods gather, but now someone tells them that there is actually another Gao Tianyuan!

Patriarch Fumo took a deep breath, looked around the crowd, and slowly lifted the dusty veil of history under the encouraging eyes of Mr. Masamune.

"It is Gaotianyuan that is buried in the deep sea, but it is not Gaotianyuan. The nobles of the dragon clan will build magnificent buildings on a large scale. They are entrenched in the center of the greatest ancient city, overlooking the sky and the earth, but that is by no means their resting place. Their real The sleeping place is the Nibelungen!"

"The Gaotianyuan under the sea is a real ancient city, so it cannot be the Nibelungen!"

"Countless years ago, the first generation of Susanoo unearthed the sacred remains of the gods from the Nibelungen, and thus embarked on the road to the underworld, which is a taboo field and a trap for the White King."

"In order to stop the first-generation Susanoo who was about to become the White King, Amaterasu and Tsukiyomi had to bury the entire ancient city near the sea under the deep sea."

"At the cost of sacrificing themselves, they simulated [Return to Ruins] and [Shiva Karma Dance], two taboo spirits. Although they are not enough to exert their full power, they are enough."

"[Return to the Ruins] set off a huge vortex, and a monstrous tsunami swept Gaotianyuan, [Shiva Karma] destroyed the seabed, and the sea flooded the entire Japan. The foundation of Gaotianyuan broke, and it moved along the The sea floor has slid down to the depths of the trench."

"And this is the god burial place that everyone is familiar with."

Patriarch Feng Mo told this secret history in one breath, he took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and continued speaking in front of the already silent crowd.

"The other place, Gaotianyuan, is the sleeping place of the gods. The first generation of Susanoo unearthed the bones of the gods there. It also has another name—the food of the night."

"The legendary Kingdom of the Night?" someone whispered.

"Yes, the legendary Kingdom of the Night, the opposite of Takamahara in mythology, but in fact it is the real residence of the gods. And unlike Takatagahara, which sank into the trench, it still stands on the land of Japan!"

"What?!" Everyone looked at him in shock.

"Nibelungen, a paradoxical space created by alchemy, the commissioner of this department entered the Nibelungen, the king of the earth and the mountain not long ago, and killed the king of the earth and the mountain who was sleeping in it, but the four How can a monarch compare with a real god? Only the black king can stand shoulder to shoulder with the white king!"

Patriarch Fengmo paused every word, "The fierce ghosts are now trying to dig out the holy remains under the deep sea and open the door to the food of the night. They not only want to become dragons, but also want to control the ancient city of dragons!"

"So, it's time." The old man slowly accepted Patriarch Feng Mo's words, "We can't bear it any longer. They have touched the bottom line of the family, and this is a bottom line that cannot be compromised."

"I don't know how many people will agree with me and how many people will follow me, but I want to tell everyone."

He got up and clapped his hands, the side door opened, and the priests came in carrying two white screens and placed them behind him.

Under the screen are pen holders and ink-soaked brushes.

"Once the ghosts get the power of the holy skeleton and open the food of the night, not only the family will face life and death, but the whole of Tokyo and Japan will return to the era of the dragon clan!"

"If you think the family should fight to the death with the ghosts, please write the word '正' on the left screen. If you think the family should continue to hold back, please write the word '正' on the right screen."

The whole hall was silent, only the wind whistled like a ghost, and the cherry blossoms fell outside the window, making people feel that life is impermanent.

No one got up, even the house owners were hesitant, it was very difficult to write on any screen, as if the pen was soaked with the blood of young people.

Until the man at the small desk of the Yuan family suddenly got up.

He indifferently swept across everyone present, passed by Tachibana Masamune, picked up a pen dipped in thick ink, and drew a heavy stroke on the left screen!
Then strode away.

Immediately afterwards, the Patriarch of the Inuyama family got up and left his seat, walked to the front of the screen on the left side and drew a pen, then threw the pen on the pen holder, turned around and left, pushed away the entourage who rushed up to hold him an umbrella, and went straight into the wind and rain.

Among all the patriarchs, the patriarch of the Inuyama family has always been the one who least insists on solving problems through war.

But now, he chose to support.

Just because, as the old man said, the last bottom line of the family is never allowed to be touched!

All those who try to become pure-blooded dragons are their enemies!

……

……

"Children, what happened to you?"

The meeting was over, and after seeing off the heads of each family, the old man found Yuan Zhisheng in the back room.

Yuan Zhisheng's silence and sharpness today surprised and confused him.

He was pleasantly surprised by Yuan Zhisheng's changes. Only the real Amaterasu can open the door to the food of the night, and to become a real Amaterasu, one must be enlightened and bear the life of Amaterasu.

But he didn't know where Yuan Zhisheng's transformation came from.

Everyone's growth does not happen overnight, it must go through an evolution, and he prepared a corresponding script for Yuan Zhisheng early in order to push Yuan Zhisheng towards the established ending.

But his script had just begun, and Yuan Zhisheng showed amazing determination, which surprised him a little, and felt that the situation seemed out of control.

Yuan Zhisheng turned around.

"Father, is what Patriarch Fengmo said true?"

"Yes, it's all true, I'm sorry, I haven't told you all this time."

"It doesn't matter. If you tell me, I will only be more troubled before."

"Just 'before'? Now?"

"I promised you that I will accompany you to the end, and you must also promise me not to lie to me."

"Of course! How could I lie to you? You are the next generation patriarch!"

"Patriarch? Then the next generation of patriarchs can temporarily use some privileges?"

"Of course, what do you want to do?"

"Find someone named Fujiwara Shinnosuke and bring him to me."

"Fujiwara Shinnosuke? Of course, but what do you want to do?"

"I... have to confirm something first."

"Understood, the family will bring this person to you as soon as possible."

"It's troublesome."

"You are the patriarch of the next generation, so there is no need to say such things."

……

……

The place where the meeting is held is a very classical shrine. After careful renovation, the shrine does not have any dilapidated feeling.

The only thing that has not been repaired is the burnt torii gate and the vermilion stone wall, which still maintain the same appearance as before, and no one is even hired to clean it.

The girl in the red maiden costume stood alone in front of the window, facing the patter of rainwater falling from the eaves.

A veiled woman quietly appeared beside her.

They stood side by side without saying a word.

Until Erika finally noticed the woman's appearance.

At that moment, her eyes lit up, it was the light of seeing a good friend.

A person who has been lonely for so many years and finally has a good friend, when he sees a friend, his eyes really shine brightly to the extreme.

Because her world also appeared light.

Erika tilted her head and gently tugged at her sleeve.

The woman didn't look at her, but stood in front of the window with a cold appearance, her chin was slightly raised, her cold eyes were looking at the rain, every angle had been carefully adjusted, and every moment was enough to become a model of a photoshoot.

It's a pity that Erika is not a cameraman, so she can't understand the woman's deliberate posture.

The woman ignored her, and she just kept pulling on the other person's clothes, playing petty temper very rarely.

Finally, the woman got impatient.

She looked back at her dissatisfied, and patted Erika's hand that was holding the hem of her clothes away.

"Hurry up, what's the rush, can I eat hot tofu if I'm in a hurry?"

Her voice is sweet and pleasant, like the splash of clear spring in the mountains, but her tone is full of sarcasm,
"How can there be a girl like you who is so obsessed, it's really shameful."

Erika's eyes lit up again, on this girl, the eyes seemed to really shine brightly, like stars in the silhouetted night.

The woman frowned, and said again: "Are you dumb? Why don't you talk? Didn't I tell you that you can talk as much as you want by my side? Are you looking down on me?"

Erika blinked innocently, tilted her head, and a strand of hair fell to the side of her face.

The woman raised her hand to brush up her messy hair, as intimately as if she had been best friends for more than ten years.

She raised her hand and tapped Eri Yi's eyebrows: "You, you should have more eyes."
