life and death deed

Chapter 378 Struggle
is a person.

I saw a person!

Wearing a colorful cassock, he sat cross-legged and made seals with one hand.

Beside him, there are countless ancient golden lotus lamps. Each golden lotus lamp is extremely delicate, with complex patterns and lifelike patterns.

The ancient yellow light shines in this room. The simple room gives people the illusion of splendor.

Of course, these are not the most critical!
The light still shone on the man.

illuminated his cassock.

It also illuminated his face.

This monk surrounded by ancient golden lotus lamps, his appearance, facial features, and appearance are exactly the same as me!
Make no difference!

The appearance is exactly the same as mine when I was old!
Right now, I have a mysterious feeling in my heart, as if I am him in front of me, and he in front of me is me!

Meanwhile, an item in my pocket was piping hot.

This object kept vibrating violently!

It’s the golden cicada sacred tree!
Who is this man in cassock?

At this moment, there is no need to think at all.

"Little friend Chen, does he look familiar to you?" Kenwa Uesugi said with a smile.

I couldn't calm down for a long time and looked at Uesugi Kenkazu.

Uesugi Kenkazu continued: "He is Xuanzang. He is Xuanzang who was killed when he came to Japan to preach the Dharma. What you see in front of you is Xuanzang's physical relics, the eternal physical relics!"

Physical relics are the supreme treasure of Buddhism.

Throughout the ages, the Buddhist masters who can turn their bodies into relics are definitely no more than a slap in the face!
What I didn't expect was that Xuanzang's physical relics were not in a Buddhist temple in Japan, but actually in the Uesugi family!
"How come Xuanzang's physical relics are in the hands of your Uesugi clan?"

I stared at Uesugi Kenka and said.

"When Xuanzang was killed in Japan, our Uesugi family was the only Onmyoji force in Japan that helped him. In order to repay us, the Uesugi family, Master Xuanzang turned into a human relic with the supreme Dharma in mind after his death. My Uesugi family."

Shang Qianhe walked up to Xuanzang and bowed.

At this moment, I asked with some doubts: "How did you recognize me based on Xuanzang's body relics?"

"Master Xuanzang informed me," Uesugi said calmly.

"What!" I was shocked and pointed at Xuanzang's body relics in disbelief: "He...he told you?"

"Yes, Master Xuanzang told me that his reincarnation has arrived in Japan. His name is Chennian, and he is currently at Tsuchimikado's house!" Kenkazu Uesugi continued.

I couldn't help but take a step back and said in horror: "He is still alive!?"

Kenka Uesugi shook his head and said: "Master Xuanzang died more than 1000 years ago. Now he only has a trace of remnants wrapped up in thousands of Buddhist teachings. Relying on this remnant of Master Xuanzang, our Uesugi family is here In these more than 1000 years, I have survived countless catastrophes. In fact, if I had not been reminded by Master Xuanzang's thoughts, I would not have lost all my strength. Maybe, without Master Xuanzang, I would have been died!"

It turns out that among the physical relics of Xuanzang in front of me, there is still a trace of Xuanzang’s past memories!
After listening to Uesugi Kenkazu's words, I quickly asked: "How can I see this trace of regret!"

I was a little excited.

I understand that in order to revive the memory of the past life, the strength of the past life must be related to this residual memory in front of me!
I urgently need to improve my strength.

Not only facing the current danger in Japan, but also the Xuanmen-level strength of several schools in Yanxia, ​​as well as the pressure brought by Buddhism on me!

But at this moment Uesugi Kenkazu shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, little friend Chen, Master Xuanzang's residual thoughts cannot be awakened now. Every time Master Xuanzang's residual thoughts are awakened, a large amount of heaven and earth energy stored in his physical relics needs to be consumed. gas."

Hearing this, I frowned.

I looked at Master Xuanzang, who looked exactly like me.

"Then how long do I have to wait until his residual memory awakens again?" I asked Uesugi Kenwa.

"It has only been a few days since the last time Master Xuanzang's residual thoughts were awakened. To wait until the energy of heaven and earth in Master Xuanzang's physical relics has recovered to the level that the residual thoughts can be awakened, it will take about...about five years. Bar."

Shangshan said modestly.

"Five years!"

I frowned even tighter.

I can't wait five years!

Kenwa Uesugi rolled his eyes, lowered his head, and whispered: "However, our Uesugi clan has been accompanying the physical relics of Master Xuanzang for thousands of years, and we have gradually obtained another method. By relying on this method, we can You don’t have to wait five years to directly restore the energy of heaven and earth in Master Xuanzang’s physical relics.”

"what way!"

I suddenly became energetic and asked quickly.

However, at this moment, Uesugi Kenkazu smiled lightly at me, and his smile was full of meaning. He said: "This..."

My expression condensed slightly, my eyes moved, and I understood something. I also smiled at Uesugi Kenka, and then said: "Ah! Senior, please go first, let's go back to the room where we were just now, and then have a good discussion. If there is anything, Let’s talk slowly and not in a hurry.”

"Extremely!"

Shang Shiqianhe's smile was brilliant.

Under my hypocritical expression, I was slandering this old man in my heart.

As expected, he is the patriarch of the Uesugi family. Even though he has lost his strength, he is still so scheming.

No wonder he insisted on taking me to see Xuanzang's physical relics. Uesugi Kenkazu must have guessed that I was eager to meet Xuanzang.

In this way, in order not to wait for five years, I have to ask Uesugi Kenkazu for help!
After that, I can only obediently discuss with him the "important matters" of saving Japan!

Afterwards, Kenka Uesugi and I returned to the small room before, and the two of us sat cross-legged.

"Senior, please tell me first, why am I the only one who can save Japan? How can I, a man from the hot summer, save Japan?" Before Uesugi Kenkazu could speak, I took the lead in speaking out.

"When Xuanzang taught Buddhism to Japan, the people of Japan were in dire straits. The situation in the court was unstable and wars were frequent. Each person in power carried out massive construction projects and built pavilions. It was Master Xuanzang's Buddhism that gave the people hope and hope. bright!"

"At that time, the Onmyoji world of Japan was also in the beginning stage of chaos. Abe Seimei had not yet been born. Only the four Qishe families had mastered some skills such as sacrifice, divination, and fortune-telling. It was the emergence of Master Xuanzang , it was Master Xuanzang’s teachings that allowed our Yin and Yang world in Japan to get on the right track!”

After saying this, Uesugi Kenka sighed and said bitterly: "It's a pity that when Master Xuanzang suffered, the other three families were white-eyed wolves. Only our Uesugi family was not afraid of the Buddhist sect in the hot summer and came to help Master Xuanzang! Otherwise, we If the four families work together, we might be able to help Master Xuanzang get out of this predicament!"

I didn't completely believe what Kenkazu Uesugi said, and I still had some doubts.

"And little friend Chen Nian is the reincarnation of Master Xuanzang. You will definitely be able to save my land of Japan again!" Kenwa Uesugi looked at me sincerely and said.

I looked at Kenka Uesugi intently, and after a while, I said to him: "How on earth are these forces of the Tsuchimikado family going to destroy Japan?"

Uesugi Kenkazu's tone calmed down, and he spoke out: "The Tachibana family, the Kamo family, and the Gyouma family want to destroy the Tsuchimikado family and regain control of the order of the Japanese Onmyoji world! And the Tsuchimikado family took this opportunity, We also want to completely destroy the four Qishe families and become the most unparalleled existence in the Onmyoji world of Japan! A war between the two sides will definitely affect the fate of the entire Japan. In the end, both sides will suffer, and we, Japan, will perish!"

Listening to Uesugi Kenkazu's words, I fell into deep thought.

The four Misa families, as the oldest families in Japan, have been suppressed by the rising star of the Tsuchimikado family. It is indeed very likely that they will become dissatisfied.

But I looked at Kenka Uesugi strangely and asked, "So, you Uesugi don't want to be the boss?"

"I don't want to! Even if we, the four Qishe families, win in the end, it will be a tragic victory! Our strength will definitely be greatly reduced. Furthermore, little friend Chen Nian has also seen that I have lost all my realm. With the strength of my Uesugi clan, how can I Going to fight with the Tsuchimikado family? I promised to deal with the Tsuchimikado family together, but I was only forced by the other three forces!"

Uesugi Kenka opened his mouth to explain to me.

I asked: "The Tuyumen family is at the Banbu Town national level, and the strength of the four Qishe families, according to our Yanxia standards, is at the Xuanmen level. Can you beat the Tuyumen family?"

"Abe Eilord's strength is terrifying. In the face of top strength, we are indeed no match for the Tsuchimikado family. But when it comes to the overall strength of the clan members, the four of us combined are not inferior to the Tsuchimikado family at all!" Kenka Uesugi replied.

After he finished speaking, he paused for a few seconds and continued: "In addition, the Misa family also has a secret weapon! This kind of thing is also the real reason why the Misa family dares to challenge the Tsuchimikado family!"

"Oh? Secret weapon? What is it?" I asked curiously.Uesugi Kenkazu asked me, "Do you know why our four families are called the Misaki Four Families?"

"I don't know." I shook my head. I really didn't understand it in depth.

Kenka Uesugi said: "Thousands of years ago, a shocking monster appeared in Japan. He was ten thousand feet tall, with eight heads born in a snake body. He came from the sea, bringing fierce waves and waves, and the rivers he passed through Overflowing, all vitality is lost! His name is Yamata no Orochi!"

Orochi!

My heart skipped a beat.

In the ranking of Japanese monsters, this is undoubtedly the number one monster.

A monster more terrifying than the Daitengu, Shuten, and Tamamo Mae!

"The Japanese god Susano'o finally surrendered this shocking monster, and the ancestors of the four Misaki families were the warriors beside Susano'o back then!"

"However, the Yamata no Orochi was too powerful after all. Even Susanoo only cut off seven of its heads. The last head of the Yamata no Orochi and his demon soul could not be destroyed!"

"The ancestors of our four Misaki families finally shouldered the task of suppressing the last head and demon soul of the Yamata-no-Orochi under the guidance of Susanoo for generations to come!"

"So, our four families are called the Four Qishe Families!"

Ken Uesugi said.

I looked at Kenka Uesugi thoughtfully, and after a while, I asked, "What does this have to do with your secret weapon?"

Uesugi Kenkazu took a deep breath and said: "Because this secret weapon is Yamata-no-Orochi! They want to resurrect Yamata-no-Orochi! Use Yamata-no-Orochi to deal with the Tsuchimikado family and Abe Eisei!"

My mind was shaken again.

The reputation of the Yamata-no-Orochi is astonishing even to me as a native of Yanxia. These Yamata-no-Orochi families are so courageous. No wonder Uesugi Kenkazu said he would destroy Japan.

Resurrecting Yamata no Orochi to launch a war could really destroy this little Japan!
In addition, if the Qishe family cannot control this monster by then, the consequences will be immeasurable!

The land of Japan is located on a small island, surrounded by the vast sea. It is simply the best battlefield for Yamata no Orochi!

At this moment, I remembered something and asked hurriedly: "You said earlier that monsters and spirits also want to destroy Japan. Are they also related to this matter?"

"Yes, the other three families have been blinded by power and actually want to cooperate with those monsters with ulterior motives! It is precisely because of the help of those monsters that they were able to resurrect the Yamata-no-Orochi!"

Kenwa Uesugi's voice was heavy.

I was slightly taken aback.

Anyone who is not a fool can imagine that the monsters and spirits resurrecting Yamata-no-Orochi must have some agenda!

Humans and monsters have different paths, and aliens are aliens after all.

I believe that the Misaki family must also understand this, but since they still choose to cooperate with monsters and spirits, it is nothing more than that they think they can control the situation, or because they really want to replace the Tsuchimikado family!
Now, only Uesugi remained calm.

In other words, it was because of his strength that Shangshan remained calm.

I believe that if Uesugi Kenkazu's shikigami origins are still there and he still has the strength of the second level, he will never let me save Japan.

Because he will definitely work with the other three families to seek the status of the Tsuchimikado family!
Now, the Uesugi family is weak and forced to participate in this operation against the Tsuchimikado family. Even if it succeeds, the Uesugi family will suffer heavy losses. In the end, what they gain is far less than what they lose. That's why Mr. Uesugi wants my help!

"Do you want me to stop them? But do you think I can stop them with just my low-level energy strength?"

After a moment of silence, I said to Uesugi Kenkazu.

Kenka Uesugi smiled and said: "My dear friend Chen, you really don't have this ability for the time being, but don't forget your identity. You are the reincarnation of Xuanzang! And now Xuanzang's physical relics are in my Uesugi clan In his hands, his physical relics are even more filled with his residual thoughts!"

"What you really want is for Xuanzang to take action?" I asked.

"That's not true. My little friend is the reincarnation of Xuanzang. As long as Xuanzang's residual thoughts wake up, the residual thoughts will eventually return to my body. With this residual thought, I will be able to control Xuanzang's physical relics and rely on Xuan Zang's relics. Zang’s physical relics helped me move to Japan, so in the final analysis, I still need help from my friends!”

Kenka Uesugi shook his head and replied to me.

"In other words, you help me get Xuanzang's remnants, and I help you stop them?" I asked with a sudden thought.

"You can say that!" Shangshan nodded modestly.

I fell into deep thought, thinking about the pros and cons.

I don't mind cooperating with the Uesugi family. After all, I clearly know the Uesugi family's intentions now, and I won't worry about what other ideas Uesugi Kenka has.

"If you want to avoid a fight, you must first prevent the resurrection of Yamata no Orochi?" I looked at Uesugi Kenwa with a deep look and said.

"Yes, Yamata no Orochi is the key! The Tachibana family, the Kamo family, and the Gyouma family are the culprits that started this struggle. The Tsuchimikado family is just fighting back. As for those monsters and ghosts, they are just imps fanning the flames! "

Shang Shiqian replied to me.

"When will Yamata no Orochi be resurrected? Where will he be resurrected?" I asked.

"The meeting of the five alliances! The ancient wilderness!" Shangshan said modestly.

"What!" I was stunned.

Shangshan Qianhe said: "The purpose of the meeting of the Five Alliances was originally a regular meeting between the four Qishe families and the Tsuchimikado family to discuss the future development of the Japanese Onmyoji world. In the end, the four Qishe families jointly presented a gift to the Tsuchimikado family. Red box!”

"The red box is also called the blood box. It is a red box made of blood. It is a gift of surrender. Offering the red box represents that the four Misa families regard the Tsuchimikado family as the most respected one and the Tsuchimikado family as their own. Japan’s bull’s ear!”

"However, this meeting of the Five Alliances is a signal that the Misa family officially declares war on the Tsuchimikado family. When the time comes, we will not offer the red box, and will kill the people sent by the Tsuchimikado family!"

I was taken aback.

No wonder I was bound to die if I participated in the meeting of the Five Alliances. This was actually the first shot fired in the Qishe family's fight for power!
"The Yamata no Orochi is sealed underground in the Great Wilderness. At that time, the Misa family will also take the opportunity to resurrect this amazing monster!" Kenkazu Uesugi continued.

"The meeting of the Five Alliances should start soon. If you put it that way, there won't be much time. Also, you may not know that I am the one participating in the meeting of the Five Alliances on behalf of the Tsuchimikado family!"

If I have any pointers.

"What!" Uesugi Kenkazu was shocked.

But soon, he understood, "Does the Tsuchimikado family want little friend Chen Nian to die?"

"That's right." I nodded.

Uesugi Kenwa was silent for a while and said: "This is not necessarily a bad thing. At least little friend Chen can legitimately enter the ancient wilderness."

He was right.

Looking at it this way, becoming Abe's scapegoat does not seem to be a bad thing.

"If I promise you, then the way to awaken Xuanzang's residual memory..." I looked at Uesugi Kenka and said.

"Don't worry, little friend Chen, this method was discovered by my Uesugi family after many years of exploration. As long as you agree, the task of awakening Xuanzang's remnants will be left to me! But..." Kenwa Uesugi promised, patting his chest.

"But what?" I asked.

"It will take some time to awaken Xuanzang's remnants. It is expected to be completed during the meeting of the Five Alliances. By then, little friend Chen Nian may have to go to the Five Alliances meeting first!" Uesugi Kenwa said with a look of embarrassment.

"Oh?"

I frowned.

It really takes time.

Or is it that Kenwa Uesugi is afraid that I will not stop Yamata-no-Orochi from resurrecting after I get the remembrance?
Both are possible.

But this is harmless. Thinking about it from another perspective, if I were Kenkazu Uesugi, I would also use this method just to be on the safe side. After all, I have to be on guard against others.

As soon as I thought about this, I no longer hesitated and said, "Okay! I wish us a happy cooperation!"
