Chapter 603 The crisis of Kazama Liuli (two in one, please subscribe!!!)

It is said to be a side hall, but it is actually the enshrining hall of the old Sheqi Hakka Shrine. It is located behind the main hall. The main hall is used for New Year banquets and major meetings, while the enshrining hall, as the name suggests, enshrines the spiritual tablets of ancestors.

Because it is located in a remote mountain, the old shrine of the Snakekihachi family was not baptized by the super tsunami. Only strong winds and heavy rain washed the mountains and forests. Other than that, the ancient buildings in the mountains were silent, and they were often seen on weekdays. The priests in white clothes at the shrine have also disappeared... The priests of the Snake Qihachi family are not devout and good people. On the contrary, they were once vicious and violent maniacs. Because they committed mistakes in the family, they He was punished to go to the mountains to guard the memorial tablets of his ancestors, and wash away his dirty souls in tranquility.

But the "god" suddenly resurrected, and a huge disaster suddenly swept through Tokyo. Natural disasters such as tsunamis and volcanoes broke out at the same time. At this critical moment of life and death, vicious thugs are of course more useful than pious priests.

As early as when the tsunami had just flooded Tokyo, the priests of the shrine had discussed it. Together they took off their white robes and put on black suits. They took out pistols from behind the statue of a saint, reincarnated themselves into brutal gangsters, and rushed to Genji Heavy Industries. The building... The shrine brings more spiritual and symbolic richness to the Sheqihachi family, but the foundation of the Sheqihachi family is actually in the Genji Heavy Industries Building. At this moment, Genji Heavy Industries needs manpower far more than the shrine.

Only a few old priests stayed, but in such a stormy weather, no old priest would be free to patrol around the shrine, so when Kazama Ruri came from the quilt directly in front of the shrine, When the burnt vermilion torii came in, there wasn't even any resistance.

Kazama Ruri stood under the eaves of the shrine, and the rainwater flowed down the corners of the house, as if a transparent curtain had been hung in front of him. The mountains were filled with white mist, rich and confusing, and the shrine itself was still Meiji. The main body of the old buildings during the Restoration period has undergone a round of renovations. Generally speaking, they still try to maintain their original classical appearance without any sense of desolation. Every year, the Sheqiba family spends a large amount of money to hire specialized people to maintain and repair it. , reinforcement.

But diametrically opposed to the building itself of the shrine, the ruins outside the shrine still look like they were burned down, with mottled blood stains on them... Kazama Ruri stared at the burned-out walls in a daze. He had heard about that paragraph. The dust-laden past, he only learned not long ago that the person who burned down the Snake Qihachi Shrine was his father.

It is extremely ironic to say that as the son of the previous Yakuza Supreme and the nominal second son of the Minamoto family, Kazama Ruri has never been to the family shrine once... On the contrary, the shrine of the Snake Qihachi family is very important to Kazama Ruri. It is said to be a restricted area, but due to its position, if the dragon king of the fierce ghosts is allowed to invade the sacred place where the family pays tribute to heroic spirits, the situation of the Sheqi Eighth Family will be quite dire.

Kazama Ruri was at the entrance of the worship hall, looking at the shrine in the heavy rain. He didn't know what was going on in his mind. He stood quietly under the eaves for a while. Right in front of him was a huge Buddha statue with a Buddha face. It was already rusty and mottled, and the raindrops fell along the Buddha's head and landed in the potholes under the eyes of the Buddha. It looked like the Buddha was crying... Fengjian Liuli's hand slowly stretched out into the rain curtain. He did not have any religious beliefs and no He was in awe, but he wanted to wipe the tearful brows of the Buddha statue and offer him a stick of incense.

At this moment, Kazama Liuli seemed to understand a little. Many times, people did not believe in something itself, but they were powerless to deal with the predicament in front of them. They could only place their hope on some illusory thoughts to alleviate the uneasiness in their hearts.

But with such a heavy rain, it was obviously impossible to offer incense. Kazama Liuli finally retracted his hand, turned around and walked slowly into the worship hall.

At the same time that the palace door was opened, a violent storm rushed into the palace. The ink-colored screen was blown wildly, and the flower branches in the porcelain vase on the table were swaying. Fengjian Liuli closed the door, and the wind and rain were isolated from the door. He slowly Stepping slowly into the enshrining hall, white socks stepped silently on the tatami in the hall. Except for the sound of wind and rain outside the hall, the enshrining hall was completely silent.

Kazama Ruri found this place by following his intuition. A few days ago, he went to the mountains where he was fostered as a child. He looked at the school where he and his brother studied together when he was a child, stood for a while in front of his adoptive father's tombstone, and finally there He was silently dazing beside the well where he once "died", but found nothing... He was not going to pay homage to his childhood and memories. Those things had become an eternal past with his first death. He went to those places for Get some clues.

To be precise, he was looking for someone... Kazama Ruri was looking for his brother, Yuan Zhisheng.

But it's a pity that everything was quiet in the mountains where I was fostered as a child. The village was peaceful and quiet. It seemed that no outsiders disturbed me and no old friends came to visit. It was obvious that Yuan Zhisheng had never been there.

Yuan Zhisheng has been missing from She Qiba's house for several days. In the past few days, Fengjian Liuli's heart has been wrapped in an inexplicable uneasiness. He is eager to find Yuan Zhisheng, but he has no clue. and clues, so Kazama Ruri brought herself into Minamoto's perspective, imagining if she were the older brother, imagining herself succeeding as the head of the Snake Qihachi family, knowing the true identity of Tachibana Masamune, and being killed by that Where will a man who is like a teacher and father go after betrayal?

Perhaps due to some mysterious intuition, or due to the induction between brothers, Kazama Ruri came to this shrine in the mountains, and then came to the worship hall behind the main shrine... There was a voice in his heart telling Kazama Liuli, maybe Yuan Zhisheng came here before disappearing.

Kazama Ruri was walking in the silent shrine, surrounded by darkness. Occasionally, thunder and lightning struck outside the hall. The lightning shined into the store through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, reflecting the mottled shadows of the Buddhist niches. Kazama Ruri slowly came to the shrine. In front of the incense burner that serves the Buddha.

Kazama Ruri was half-kneeling on the futon. He bent down to light the candle in front of him, but his movement suddenly stopped, as if he had discovered something was wrong.

Fengjian Liuli picked up the incense candle in the incense burner. The incense candle only burned to a normal position and then went out. Fengjian Liuli twisted the candle head with his hand, then looked down at the black ashes between his fingers... The candle did not go out naturally. Yes, but was forcibly exterminated.

Kazama Liuli put aside the unburned incense candle, and in a dark environment, Kazama Liuli slowly closed his eyes. He completely brought himself into the identity of the underworld young master, imagining the heir to the family patriarch. After inheriting such a life with my brother's character, what would he think and do.

Trouble... A life that has inherited such a lofty status must be full of troubles. Big figures from various families, heads of families of various surnames and elders of the family gathered in the main hall in front, drinking and drinking, and the noise was endless.

With a personality like my brother's, he must be very repulsive to family gatherings, right? You would also hate being in such an environment, right? But as the young master of the family, if he said such words in public, it would chill the subordinates who supported him.

If you are proud of your brother, you must not be able to bear the disappointed looks of others, right?

So I could only find an opportunity to sneak away and come alone to the dark and silent worship hall behind the main hall, temporarily escaping the burden of family responsibilities on my shoulders and the pressure of interpersonal communication.

Tiredness...it is natural to be tired, not only physical fatigue, but also mental and spiritual fatigue. On one side is the director of the Executive Bureau, fighting on the front line of killing "gods" and "ghosts". Yuan Zhi is not born with it. What a lofty ambition, but out of his stubborn sense of responsibility, but without desire and relying solely on sense of responsibility, there is no way to control a behemoth like the Sheqi Ba family. Yuan Zhisheng bears the expectations of thousands of clan members, but he I simply cannot afford such heavy expectations.

Suddenly from an extremely noisy environment to an extremely quiet environment, the surging tiredness came over like a tide. Yuan Zhisheng wanted to take a nap. Half asleep and half awake, Yuan Zhisheng felt like he was a bird in a trance. A moth in the darkness is flying in the darkness of the eternal night. He can't find the way forward, and he doesn't know if there are any moths like him in the world. It seems that he will never be able to touch the boundaries and warmth.

Until he saw a warm fire, he rushed forward without hesitation. The ferocious flames began to burn his wings, but he never looked back. He had stayed in the eternal night for too long, for just a little bit. Light, even if it burns oneself to death, it doesn't matter.

Yuan Zhisheng woke up suddenly, dripping with cold sweat. He suddenly remembered a face. The past ten years ago appeared in his mind like a nightmare, and he couldn't get rid of it. That dusty memory carried a deep regret. , making Yuan Zhisheng unable to extricate himself.

Escape... you must want to escape, to escape the past and reality, to escape the regretful past, and to make a clean break with your life twenty years ago.

At this time, I can only drink, using alcohol to numb my nerves. I sit in the darkened hall, staring at the rainy scene outside the window in a daze, imagining escaping from this city, going to a country that no one knows, and spending time in a country where no one knows me. A long, ordinary and nameless life.

Thinking of this, Fengjian Liuli had already come to the window. This is the life of her brother. With the help of Lu Mingfei, Yuan Zhisheng finally saved one regret from this rugged life, but fell into another huge crisis. It's a pity that the admiration and closeness to Tachibana Masamune were exchanged for cruel lies and deception. Facing a fragmented family, it must be even more tiring.

Trouble, fatigue, escape... Kazama Ruri is a very good actor. An excellent actor must have a strong ability to empathize. At this moment, Kazama Ruri is completely involved in the drama. He is leaning on the window sill of the enshrinement hall. , looking at the wind and rain outside the floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes were blurred, and his body was full of tiredness.

Kazama Ruri wanted to drink for no reason, so he subconsciously reached out and grasped a bottle of wine placed against the edge of the bed in the dark... The moment he touched the bottle, Kazama Ruri's body shook suddenly, and he Wake up in the naive role of the source.

Kazama Liuli lowered his head and picked up the wine bottle in disbelief. It seemed that he actually touched a bottle of wine without expecting that he wanted to drink.

Kazama Ruri looked intently and saw that it was a bottle of 18-year-old Yamazaki whiskey. Half of the liquor was drunk, and the mouth of the bottle was open. It looked like someone had drunk it and then it was suddenly put aside.

A chill came out of Fengjian Liuli's back and went straight to Tianling Gai. His whole body was shrouded in great uneasiness... Fengjian Liuli suddenly realized something, about the reason why Yuan Zhisheng disappeared.

But the sudden sound of footsteps outside the enshrinement hall interrupted Fengjian Liuli's thoughts. Fengjian Liuli's body subconsciously tensed up, like a cheetah that smelled danger. He suddenly dodged into the darkness, quietly Waiting for the arrival of uninvited guests outside the worship hall.

How could anyone come to the old shrine of the Snake Qihachi family at this time, especially to the remote worship hall of the shrine... Obviously he is not a priest of the shrine. It is impossible for an old priest to take such a hasty step, and Kazama Liuli can hide his aura perfectly, making it impossible for the priest to detect his presence.

Moreover, Kazama Liuli noticed that the footsteps were overlapping, and it was obvious that there was more than one person... Those people were quickly approaching the entrance of the enshrinement hall.

Kazama Ruri was hiding in the darkness behind the door of the enshrinement hall, his eyes fixed on the direction of the door, waiting for these uninvited guests to appear in his field of vision.

But the footsteps suddenly stopped at the door of the Consecration Hall, and Fengjian Liuli's heartstrings tightened instantly... Just this behavior of the other party allowed Fengjian Liuli to conclude that the other party already knew that there was an intruder in the Consecration Hall, otherwise The other party will not stay at the door like him, waiting for the moment when the other party reveals his body.

Kazama Ruri was not sure whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, but at such a sensitive moment and in such a sensitive place, Kazama Ruri no longer had time to figure out the other party's thoughts.

And at this moment, whoever reveals his figure first will be the one who reveals his flaws first!

As time passed by, Kazama Ruri knew that it was impossible to continue the stalemate like this. His heart suddenly lurched, he shook the Yamazaki whiskey in his hand, and suddenly threw the bottle away.

The wine bottle drew an arc in the air and made a dull sound the moment it landed on the tatami, breaking the stalemate of silence.

The door panel was knocked open by a huge force, and the black figure rushed into the worship hall with the sound of wind and rain outside the door, and rushed to the place where the whiskey bottle fell to the ground.

The cherry-red long sword at Fengjian Liuli's waist suddenly unsheathed. At the same time, his figure was like a cheetah ready for hunting, and he suddenly pounced out. The long sword cut through the air at high speed, carrying a harsh sound. The sound of breaking through the air cut towards the neck of the figure holding Yamazaki Whiskey.

"Don't move!"

"Don't move!"

The exact same scolding sound sounded inside and outside the door at the same time. Fengjian Liuli and a figure outside the door threatened each other at the same time.
