Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

The few tourists on the mountain were basically all gone, because they wanted to catch the bus down the mountain before dark. The surroundings were silent except for the sound of wind and insects. Noda Hisakatsuma didn’t know where he went. It seemed as if the world was between heaven and earth. Only Lu Mingfei and Eli Yi were left, and the distance between the two was getting closer and closer... In fact, Lu Mingfei unconsciously moved towards Eli Yi's side, but Eli Yi did not move back. , until after the sun completely sets, the two figures on the top of the mountain are almost touching each other.

Lu Mingfei looked at Huiliyi, and Huiliyi looked at Lu Mingfei. It was like there were ten thousand soldiers beating drums in Lu Mingfei's chest, his heart pounding against his chest, Lu Mingfei's eyes It landed on Eri Yi's beautiful lips by accident... Damn it, it was an accident again. Lu Mingfei, who was teasing Noda Shou just now, was cursing in his heart at this moment, why did he say such a mean thing to Eri Yi just now? If that's the case, should I kiss you now or not?

If he kissed her, how would he be different from Hisashi Noda? Taking advantage of others' danger, he would probably become the guy who "does bad things on the mountain" in Eriri's mind, right? But with this environment, this atmosphere, this favorable time, place, and people, if I didn't kiss him, wouldn't he be inferior to Hisashi Noda?

In Lu Mingfei's mind, angels and demons kept arguing.

Kiss me! Kiss me! They haven't expressed their opinions but are waiting for you to express their opinions. Could it be that you are still actively waiting for other girls to kiss you? Then you are still considered a man... In Lu Mingfei's brain, the devil's voice overwhelmed the angel's voice. This is simply impeccable. The reason is, but Lu Mingfei feels that these words are familiar for some reason, and the devil in his mind seems to have the face of Master Yue?

Zhuyu is in front, and there is no need to be rational... Lu Mingfei was heartbroken, leaned down, and hugged Huiliyi into his arms. The evening breeze was slightly cool, and the girl's body was as soft as if she had no bones. Lu Mingfei Fei's breathing was as rapid as if he had just run a marathon. He could even feel Eliyi's body temperature. It was as hot as a soldering iron. Eiliyi's eyelashes were really long. Lu Mingfei's face and heart were itchy. When Eriki blinked, her eyelashes almost brushed his cheeks.

Just before Lu Mingfei was about to touch Eli Yi's lips, a voice interrupted his movements.

"Brother, brother!" A familiar loud voice came from the woods not far away, "Guess what I found!"

Lu Mingfei's body shook suddenly, and his hand suddenly let go of Eri Yi's body, like a guilty thief who was frightened by other people's voices while stealing things, and subconsciously put the things back where they belong. position, pretending to be calm and composed, fearing that others will see the disguise.

A figure emerged from the woods, running from far to near. It was Noda Hisashi. Noda Hisashi had an excited expression on his face. The sky was already a little dark, and Noda Hisashi didn't notice it even though he was far away. What were Lu Mingfei and Eli Yi doing, otherwise he would have cursed himself to death in his heart. He succeeded, but he ruined his elder brother's good deeds. This is so selfish!

"There is a creek over there. I almost tripped when I was running by the creek. Brother, guess what it is," Noda Shou excitedly asked and answered, "It's a stone Jizo Temple!"

"What's so strange about Shidizang Temple?" Lu Mingfei's tone was not very good, and his expression was not natural.

Nonsense, I finally made up my mind to do something bad to Eryi. It was a rare opportunity, but it was not too early or too late. The most critical moment was interrupted. Lu Mingfei felt that he had finally squeezed out some courage, and the bad water was also It was thrown out, but no benefit was reaped at all. This must make everyone feel unhappy... But Noda Hisashi is a very nervous guy and can't understand Lu Mingfei's resentful tone at all.

"Brother, don't believe it, the stone Jizo in the mountains is quite efficacious!" Hisashi Noda said seriously, "I met my classmates once in the mountains when I was in junior high school. At that time, I made a wish that I could actually join the underworld in the future, and my classmate made a wish. Your studies are going well, and then guess what, brother?”

"I really became the leader of the Noda Group, and my classmates actually got into university!" Noda Shou said in surprise, "Is it true or not? Big brother, just tell me if it works or not!"

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath. He didn't know what expression to use in response to Noda Shou's words. Lu Mingfei couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Your wish wasn't to study, so after graduation you'll just end up in the underworld and become a gangster. Your classmate's wish was academic success, so he must be a studious student. In the end, he got into university. Isn't that natural? It's like someone with a cold wishing for a quick recovery. Even if they don't make a wish, they're unlikely to die from the illness, right?" So even if the two of you don't visit the Ksitigarbha Temple, your wishes will most likely not be unfulfilled, right?

"No, where is Miss Zhen?" Lu Mingfei looked behind Noda Shou, "Did you leave Miss Zhen alone again?"

"No, no, no, I was really praying at the Ishijizo Temple." Hisashi Noda quickly explained, "Didn't I trip over the Jizo statue just now? It's very disrespectful to step on Jizo. She did it for me. To pray for disaster relief, I grew up with my grandma and believe in these things."

"Then let's go take a look?" Lu Mingfei turned to Eli Yi and said, but he did not dare to look into Eli Yi's eyes.

The charming atmosphere just now still lingers in Lu Mingfei's mind, and now he is still a little embarrassed when facing Eli Yi.

"I want to take a look." Eriki said something unexpected, and her eyes were gleaming with anticipation, "Ishi Jizo is very clever."

"Where did you hear that?" Lu Mingfei was stunned. Ishijizo was basically in the mountains. Except for the time when he took Eri to Umezuji Town, Eri should have never come into contact with this thing. A chance?

"It's not what I heard, it's what I saw." Eryi shook her head.

"Did you see it?" Lu Mingfei became even more confused, "Where did you see it from?"

"Natsume's Book of Friends." Eriyi said with a serious expression.

Lu Mingfei patted his head, he should have known... "Natsume's Book of Friends" is the name of an anime, telling the story of getting the "Book of Friends" made of contract books from the relics of her grandmother, Natsume Reiko. When Natsume Takashi decided to return the names of the monsters in his friend's account one by one, he encountered strange, sad, nostalgic, and touching heartwarming stories along the way.

"Natsume's Book of Friends" is a famous healing anime, and Eri's favorite genre. "Natsume's Book of Friends" has a story about Ishijizo Temple. This anime has made Eri cry several times. So she firmly believes in the story in the anime.

"Lead the way." Lu Mingfei said to Noda Shou.

It was getting late, and they should actually catch the last bus down the mountain, but they couldn't leave Miss Zhen alone in the mountain.

Passing through layers of dense forest, at the foot of the mountain are dodder and commeldera growing wildly. There is actually a path in this mountain forest. Although it is an uneven bluestone staircase and has been covered by weeds, there are still some wild grasses growing between them. The growing conditions of wildflowers such as lotus and zinnia are relatively harsh, which shows that the natural climate of this mountain forest is really good. It also shows that this road may have been completely abandoned, and it looks like it has been at least several years. No one walked by.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but admire Noda Shou for being able to find this way. This weird boy's luck was really weird sometimes. He was always involved in big events and met big shots, but he still survived and became Noda. The leader of the team caught up with his goddess Aso Makoto, and Izu happened to meet him even though she was far away from Tokyo. With these series of probabilities added up, if you buy the lottery, you can probably win the first prize, right?

There were conspicuous footprints on the road, which should have been left by Noda Hisawazaki when he passed by just now. Lu Mingfei kicked away the wildly growing weeds, and as for the small red or yellow flowers, he gently pushed them away with his hands. After walking for a few minutes, he The sound of running water can already be heard, probably the creek that Noda Hisashi mentioned. The sound of the stream is clear and mysterious in the quiet dense forest at night.

Next to the stream stood a stone sculpture as tall as a child. The so-called Stone Jizo Temple in Japan is actually not a temple in the true sense. It is just a small Buddha statue standing on the roadside. The top of the Buddha's head is covered with a square brick. The roof is used to protect the Ksitigarbha statues from wind and rain, and then hung with white flags, which is the so-called "temple". Some Ksitigarbha statues were built a long time ago. It is said that during the Warring States Period, some villages were destroyed by cruel samurai or soldiers in one fell swoop. After all the killings, the resentment that was so strong that it could not be resolved formed a ghost that even the monks could not transcend. So a stone Jizo statue was built at the mountain pass and prayed to the gods residing in it to suppress the evil spirit of the ghost.

The power of the gods depends on people's faith. People who seek help from the gods will regularly place various kinds of food in front of the Ksitigarbha Temple. If the food disappears the next day, it means that the gods have accepted their wishes... Some Shijizang temples have been abandoned not long after they were established. No one brings food to them all year round. Over the years, perhaps the power of the gods inside has become weak or has left.

This stone Jizo is probably the type that no one cares about. Lu Mingfei can’t figure out who would bother to build such a stone sculpture in such a remote and remote mountain. Maybe there were people living here many years ago. The surface was mottled and peeling due to the erosion of wind and rain. When Lu Mingfei and the others came, they actually knelt down in front of the stone carvings and wiped the mottled stone carvings with paper towels. They looked serious and pious. This posture really made them look as tall as the stone carvings.

"Mr. Lu Mingfei, do you have any food in your backpack?" Zhen pointed to the bag behind Lu Mingfei's back and asked a little embarrassedly.

"It seems like there are only drinks and potato chips left, right?" Lu Mingfei opened the bag and looked for it. Suddenly he took out the rice balls and handed them to Zhen. There were exactly four of them. "Is this okay?"

"Okay, okay, rice is the most sincere tribute!" Zhen took the rice balls from Lu Mingfei, tore open the packaging bags, and placed them one by one in front of the Ksitigarbha statue.

She guided Lu Mingfei and others through the process of praying. Starting from the beginning, several people made wishes to the unknown Ksitigarbha statue in the mountains. Lu Mingfei thought this experience was magical and reminded him of following his father when he was a child. The old and mysterious dragon-shaped stone statue my mother saw in the woods when she went to do some research in the mountains.

At that time, while taking pictures of the stone statues, Lu Lincheng told Lu Mingfei that the history of the stone statues could be traced back to about five thousand years ago. At that time, human civilization was not yet mature but people already had faith... It turns out that faith is really important to many people. is something indispensable.

Chapter 812 Pure Friends

Zhen took out a clean tissue and spread it on the ground. She slowly knelt down in front of the Jizo statue, closed her eyes, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and muttered something silently, looking pious and sincere.

After the true prayer, it was Noda Hisaru's turn. Noda Hisashi also imitated the true posture, kneeling in front of the Ksitigarbha statue, clasping his hands together and closing his eyes to make a wish... This guy knelt for a particularly long time, probably I was so greedy that I took the opportunity to make several wishes at once.

The next one was Eriyi. Lu Mingfei thought that Eriyi would be in a hurry, but he didn’t expect Eriyi to pray in a decent manner. Eriyi took longer than Noda Kotobuki. I don’t know because he prayed too much in one breath. She suddenly got distracted when she was making a wish... Eryi often got distracted. Sometimes Lu Mingfei took her out to play, and when she saw beautiful scenery or encountered something similar to the anime and TV series she had watched, she would She gets distracted. I wonder if Eri's appearance in front of the Jizo statue reminds her of "Natsume's Book of Friends" or some plots in other anime. She has her eyes closed and has no expression on her face. She looks very engaged.

Lu Mingfei raised his head and glanced at the sky. The moon had already risen. In Japan now, the harsh winter is still warm and spring has arrived. It gets dark quite early. Lu Mingfei calculated the time and found that the last train going down the mountain was probably around They drove away in five minutes. Even if they pedaled down the mountain at full speed through the "Sakura Village", they would not be able to catch up, unless their bicycles were equipped with a complete set of nitrogen acceleration devices.

However, Lu Mingfei didn't seem to be in a hurry, so he didn't rush anyone.

A few minutes later, Eliyi stood up. Lu Mingfei took the initiative to help Eiliyi pat the dirt on her skirt. Lu Mingfei asked curiously: "Eriyi has been using it for so long and has many wishes." Do you want to say something?"

"Three." Eriyi nodded.

"Three?" Lu Mingfei's heart moved, "What wish did Eli Yi make?"

"Mr. Lu Mingfei." Zhen reminded in a low voice, "Only Ksitigarbha and yourself can know the wishes you make to Ksitigarbha. If you tell others, your wishes will not come true!"

"Oh." Lu Mingfei nodded, thinking that this was the same as his birthday wish.

When she was little, Lu Mingfei asked her mother why her birthday wishes didn't come true when she said them. At that time, Qiao Weini touched Lu Mingfei's head and said, because in the final analysis, wishes are just her own obsessions. When she tells others about her obsessions, Sometimes, others will express support, encouragement and appreciation for your wishes in order to cater to you. These attitudes will construct a "social reality" in your mind and even affect your brain to create the illusion that your wishes have been realized. At the same time, you You will get a kind of substitute satisfaction in your heart. When you think that the goal has almost come true, you will lose the motivation to really achieve the goal... The explanation given by Qiao Weini was so philosophical. Lu Mingfei only seemed to understand. He originally thought that his mother would tell him that making wishes was a trick to trick children. In Lu Mingfei's impression, his mother, Qiao Weini, had always been such a nervous person.

"Brother, big brother." Noda Shou's voice woke Lu Mingfei from his memories, "It's your turn to pray."

"I won't use it." Lu Mingfei declined subconsciously.

"It won't be too troublesome, Mr. Lu Mingfei. This is a rare opportunity. As long as you are sincere enough, the gods hidden in the mountains are sometimes very effective." Zhen said to Lu Mingfei in a low voice, "If you don't have any wishes, If so, you can also make a wish for the person you care about. Ksitigarbha has no way of fulfilling the wish, and we have already paid tribute in advance."

Lu Mingfei thought for a moment, looked at Eli Yi again, and nodded: "Okay."

"Oh, by the way," before praying, Lu Mingfei seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He turned to Zhen and asked, "Generally speaking, how many wishes is more appropriate for one person?"

"Well... grandma didn't tell me, and there doesn't seem to be a clear rule about this." Zhen said with some uncertainty, "But you shouldn't make too many wishes at once, otherwise being too greedy will appear to be insincere, but I heard Ksitigarbha’s divine power is limited, and if you make a wish that exceeds Ksitigarbha’s divine power, your wish will probably come true.”

"I understand." Lu Mingfei nodded.

He really didn't have much to wish for. He killed his old enemy and was with Eriki. Everyone survived. Everything was perfect. He just hoped that his parents could see Eriki and spend more time together in the future. Life... But Lu Mingfei knew that his parents were also very busy, and he didn't want to interfere with his parents' work and responsibilities because of his own ideas.

So Lu Mingfei originally wanted to make a wish for his senior brother to find his father soon, but Zhen said that Ksitigarbha God's power is limited... He also made a wish to the little Japanese god to help Chu Zihang kill Ao Man? Even if there is really a god who can grant other people's wishes hidden in the Shijizang Temple, the god who receives this wish will not be able to help but curse the person who made the wish. He must be a lunatic, right?

The process of Lu Mingfei's prayer was very brief. Compared with Eri Yi and Noda Hisashi, it was even rushed. The whole process took less than half a minute. The wish he made was also concise and clear. He only wished for what he cared about. People's future lives can be safe and smooth.

Lu Mingfei patted the dust on his body. He raised his head and looked at the sky again. The sun had completely set, and stars like the Milky Way hung upside down in the black sky... Lu Mingfei looked up for the third time in ten minutes. Oh my God, he was actually wearing a timepiece on his hand, so Lu Mingfei's actions when he looked up at the sky were not like observing time through the sky, but more like expecting something to fall from the sky.

"During the day, Noda Hisashi said that you guys had just arrived in Izu from Tokyo, so you shouldn't be going back to Tokyo right away, right?" Lu Mingfei looked at Zhen and Noda Hisashi and asked, "Where are you going to go next?"

"I booked a hotel in Izu City, and I plan to go to Sagami Bay with Kazuma to see the sea in the evening, and then find something to eat nearby. I heard that Atami's sea bream and squid are very famous." Hisashi Noda asked Lu Mingfei , "Brother, where are you?"

"We also live in Atami. I booked a hot spring hotel in advance, right in Sagami Bay. Atami's hot springs are very famous." Lu Mingfei said, "I originally planned to have dinner at the hotel's restaurant. If Eri is not too If she likes dinner, I will accompany her to go shopping on the streets to see if there are any local specialties."

"Brother is indeed a big brother. I have seen hot spring hotels before coming here, but because of the tourist boom, rooms are scarce and the remaining units are too expensive." Noda Hisashi's eyes were filled with envy, "But we should We live not far away, so we can go shopping together at night!"

"Shou, Mr. Lu Mingfei finally took Miss Eriyi out for a trip. We can't disturb them anymore!" Zhen tugged on Noda Shou's sleeves and reminded him in a low voice.

"It's not really a bother. I had a lot of fun today. The scenery is beautiful, and I even encountered a Jizo statue in the mountains. It will be an unforgettable experience. I can still see it outside of Tokyo. I think we are destined to be together." Lu Mingfei turned his head to look at Eri, "Eri thinks the same, right?"

Erika nodded.

"Since the destination is the same, there is no need to separate immediately. Eriki and I will leave Izu tomorrow, and the rest of the trip should be different." Lu Mingfei suggested, "Otherwise, you will also come to stay in the hot spring tonight. At the hotel, there is a private hot spring bath in the room, and you can see the sky and sea from the hot spring area. It is said that the scenery of Sagami Bay at night is great."

Zhen and Noda Shou looked at each other, then turned back to Lu Mingfei and said: "Mr. Lu Mingfei, Shou and I are very happy. It is a very pleasant experience to get along with Mr. Lu Mingfei and Miss Eriki. If it doesn't disturb you You, Shou and I also want to stay with you, but I only have half of my salary left, and Shou's career has just started. This time Shou and I don't have such a high budget for going out, and the hot spring hotel is too expensive for us. ”

Zhen declined Lu Mingfei's suggestion, but there was no unnatural emotion on Zhen's face at all, because she knew that she, Noda Shou, Lu Mingfei, and Eriki were not from the same world. It's just a coincidence that several people became friends.

I really won’t be jealous or feel ashamed because of Eri Yi’s status, nor will I want to cling to him or dislike Noda Hisashi because of Lu Mingfei’s generous style. In addition to being polite, this girl is generous from beginning to end... ...Although she is not a rich person, it is not wrong to be poor, and it is not wrong to be friends with big people like Lu Mingfei and Eri Yi. No one in this world stipulates that poor people must be in embarrassment. This is true. What her grandma once told her.

"No, I mean, you don't have to worry about the cost of accommodation. I will book an extra room in the hotel tonight." Lu Mingfei added, "Of course it's a two-bedroom. Of course, you guys decide to stay in the same room or separate rooms tonight?" It's not my responsibility to care about the room and sleep, as well as today's dinner. I asked you about your upcoming itinerary. I originally planned to treat you to a meal tonight."

"How is this possible!" Zhen shook his head quickly, "I'm very grateful for Mr. Lu Mingfei's kindness, but this is so embarrassing. I'm very happy that Shou and I didn't disturb you and Miss Eriki's schedule, but we shouldn't This troubles you."

Zhen refused very simply. She was not a child who was full of joy but pretended to refuse when receiving red envelopes from her elders. Although a hot spring hotel was an exciting experience, Zhen had never stayed in a high-end hot spring sea view room in her life, but she could not agree to Lu Mingfei's request. Even if Lu Mingfei is generous enough, the cost of a night in a hot spring hotel is nothing to him, but there is really no way to convince herself... In her opinion, there is a bottom line between friends, and she can accept help from her friends. , but you can’t take advantage of your friends.

"Yes, brother, you are right." Hisashi Noda quickly expressed his opinion, "We can go and play with you at night, but it is really unreasonable to spend your money to stay in a hotel or something like that."

Seeing the reactions of Zhen and Noda Hisashi, Lu Mingfei smiled knowingly. His proposal was not a test of the two, but Lu Mingfei was sincerely happy that they had two such friends besides the Turtle Brothers in Japan.

No matter how righteous Yuan Zhisheng and Yuan Zhisheng are, after all, where their status is, there is inevitably a conflict of interest mixed with the relationship between friends. But Zhen and Noda Hisashi are the purest friends. Lu Mingfei I feel that even if the person who knows them is not the current self, but the bad boy in the past, they can still treat the bad boy as a true friend.

"If you say that, wouldn't it be me who is embarrassed?" Lu Mingfei looked at Noda Shou and then at Zhen, "Although I gave Shou a few words in the toy store at the beginning, Miss Zhen Didn’t she also make us coffee? Later, in Akihabara, Eriki and I were hunted down. Ms. Shin took us to hide in a maid cafe, made us tea and prepared small waffles, and later in Minato City At the auction house, Miss Zhen helped me find the key regardless of her own safety... In this way, it seems that we have always been troubling Miss Zhen, right?"

"No, no, it's not troublesome." Zhen waved his hand quickly, "And I'm really grateful to you, Mr. Lu Mingfei. Without you, Shou and I wouldn't be where we are today."

"Without Miss Zhen, I would have gotten into trouble several times." Lu Mingfei shook his head, "I'm serious, it's my first time to come to Japan. Although I don't have a good impression of this country, I have a lasting impression here. I made a lot of rare memories and gained a lot. In addition to Yuan Zhisheng and the others, Miss Zhen, you are also my important friends. Even if we don't meet in Izu, before leaving Japan, my senior brother and I plan to do something for you. What, I’ll treat you to dinner at least once, unless the real lady doesn’t treat us as friends.”

"How could..." Zhen explained anxiously.

"I don't think that asking a friend to stay in a hotel or have a meal is to be taken advantage of by the other party. Friendship is quite precious to me, and it is far from cheap." Lu Mingfei lowered his head and looked at his watch, "If you think friends If this is troublesome, then I may have to trouble my friends every three days, and you will inevitably trouble me next."

"What do you mean?" Noda Shou was stunned, not understanding Lu Mingfei's last words.

"Oops!" As if he had thought of something, he took out his phone and looked at the time, "It should be time for the last train down the mountain to leave now!"

Hisashi Noda's face changed drastically. They were so carried away with their play that they didn't pay attention to the time. After the last bus left, they had almost no means of transportation to go down the mountain. There might be a decent hotel on Omuro Mountain, but judging from the number of tourists on the mountain today, The hotels were probably full, and no one wanted to stay in the dark forest, but there was no way they could hike to the Izu Plateau.

"I'm sorry! It's all my fault!" Zhen Zhen's face turned pale, but he still apologized to Lu Mingfei and the others.

"It's not Miss Zhen's fault. I took you up the mountain on my own initiative. It's my fault if you missed the last bus." Lu Mingfei comforted, "Don't worry, I have a way to get down the mountain. I'll contact you when I get up the mountain. alright."

"I know that brother is always so reliable!" Noda Shou heard Lu Mingfei's words, and his gloomy mood was swept away. "Has brother made an appointment for a special car? Or is it a hidden last bus or something?"

"Do you dare to be more imaginative? It should be almost time." Lu Mingfei looked at his watch and pointed his finger to the sky, "We will probably leave from there."

Zhen and Noda Shou looked up in the direction of Lu Mingfei's finger. It was difficult to see anything except stars and clouds in the sky obscured by the woods. A few seconds later, the sound of roaring propellers filled the mountains.

"Could it be..." Noda Shou looked at something like a blackbird flying overhead, his mouth wide open in disbelief.

Chapter 813 Young Patriarch

Genji Heavy Industries, Xingshen Temple.

Gen Zhisheng was sitting on the terrace outside the main hall, facing the city of Tokyo with many high-rise buildings. In front of him was a wooden desk with densely packed cowhide sealed bags and files piled on it.

There are countless documents in the sealed bag. The dossier is a rubbing of the shrine. Each one is crucial. Some of them are related to the merger process of the Menggui Sect and the Snake Qi Eight Families, and the alliance with Kassel Academy. The details of the agreement, as well as the funding application for the reconstruction of Tokyo after the disaster, various expenditures have reached hundreds of millions of yen... Each of these various documents is urgent, waiting for Minamoto Chisei as a parent. of review.

It’s no wonder that Uesugi felt that Minamoto was overworked when he first saw him, because at that time Uesugi had also experienced the war period when he was the head of the family, and dealing with various complicated affairs gave him a headache that made him want to grow out. With three heads and six arms, in the end most issues were left to the shrine priests to decide on their behalf. But Minamoto was not Uesugoshi. His stubborn character allowed him to always maintain a sense of responsibility for his family. This sense of responsibility made him strong. It also made him feel tired.

However, at this moment, both the confidential red-headed documents and the important files to be stored in the shrine were pushed aside by Yuan Zhisheng. There was a huge piece of paper placed in front of him, with the three words "Design Drawing" written on the top of the paper. However, there is no trace of the design drawings at all when looking at the content. There are only a few rag dolls scrawled on the paper. The painter is so wild and careless that it feels like a European medieval horror fairy tale. It is difficult to recognize the dolls just by looking at them. kind of.

The countless urgent matters did not give Yuan Zhisheng any headache. On the contrary, at this busy moment, he was in a daze looking at this design drawing that looked like a child's sketch, as if he was worrying about something.

There was a knock on the door in the distance, and then the sound of hurried footsteps. An old man dressed as a priest walked across the bridge and flowing water at the entrance of Xingshen Temple, and walked quickly towards the terrace where Yuan Zhisheng was.

Yuan Zhisheng noticed the movement behind him. He quickly pulled out a piece of paper from the file and stamped it on the design drawing calmly. The pencil in his hand was also replaced with a seal dedicated to everyone.

"Master." The old priest stood one meter behind Yuan Zhisheng and bowed respectfully to Yuan Zhisheng's back.

"Sacrifice to the wine priest." Yuan Zhisheng nodded in return and revealed the identity of the person.

Liquor worship is a supervisory position in the civil service. The name comes from the official positions in ancient China. The old man has a very respected position in the family shrine and is the head of the priests. His status in the eight Sheqi families is probably almost comparable to that of the three other families. As the head of a foreign family, coupled with his considerable seniority, and the fact that Yuan Zhisheng has assisted three elders before and after his birth, he can be called the "veteran of the three dynasties" of the underworld family, so Yuan Zhisheng's attitude towards the elderly is also full of Respect.

"Why don't you stay in this hall?" The wine priest looked at Yuan Zhisheng, who was wearing thin clothes. "Sitting on the terrace for too long may be a hidden danger of catching wind and cold."

"An environment that is too comfortable can make people feel tired." Yuan Zhisheng shook his head and said in the same mature tone as the wine priest, "I've been really busy with work lately and I can't bear to feel dizzy. Staying here can help me maintain a calm and clear mind. , I hope the family’s worries can be resolved as soon as possible.”

The wine-sacrifice priest behind Yuan Zhisheng stood on tiptoes, stretched his neck and looked through the mountains of documents on the desk, and caught a glimpse of the corner of the shrine file directly in front of Yuan Zhisheng... It seems that everyone said That's right, it seems that he is indeed dealing with the family's official affairs non-stop. The first thing he consults is the file of the shrine. This shows the importance of the shrine in the hearts of everyone. The old priest immediately smiled with comfort, and everyone Although the elder is young, he is so responsible and far-sighted. It is really a blessing for the family!

"Is there anything important about offering sacrifices to the wine priest?" Yuan Zhisheng asked.

"It's not too urgent. I just want to check with the parents about the time when the files will be stored in the shrine after they have been approved." The old priest said, "After all, the files are the foundation of family history. They were destroyed in the fire of the shrine sixty-one years ago. Most of the files have been lost, the family has suffered serious losses, and no one wants such a tragedy to happen again, so for the current shrine, confirming the safety and integrity of the files is our top priority."

"I understand." Yuan Zhisheng nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Five days, the reconstruction after the disaster, the merger of the Fierce Ghosts, and the alliance with Kassel Academy. Recently, the family is in an unprecedented sensitive period. There are too many things in each department that need to be handled by me personally. I will try my best to handle the files at the shrine within five days, and have the deputy director of the Executive Bureau personally deliver them to the file room at the shrine?"

"No, no, no, there is no need to be in such a hurry. Compared to files and shrines, the head of the family is the mainstay of the family. You must take good care of your health. Only when you are healthy can the family stand firm in the turbulence of the times." The priest quickly said, "Just one week. The shrine doesn't want to be a burden to you. There is no need for you to appoint someone to deliver the dossier. I will bring someone to pick it up in person after one week."

"Then thank the wine priest for your consideration." Yuan Zhisheng nodded, "If you still have time, you can stay for a cup of tea, but I'm sorry that I can't entertain you personally."

"I'm very touched by your kindness, but I can't bother you any more. The shrine has to rush to make the spiritual tablets, so I'd better leave earlier." The old priest rejected Yuan Zhisheng with fear, and looked at Yuan Zhisheng's back. After bowing, they came and left in a hurry.

After the old priest completely left this floor, Yuan Zhisheng breathed a sigh of relief and threw aside the dossier covered with the design drawings, just like a student who was unexpectedly inspected by his parents and covered his winter vacation homework on the game console to pretend He looked like he was doing his homework seriously, but after his parents left with satisfaction, he impatiently threw the untouched winter vacation homework into the corner. Yuan Xiaosheng didn't even bother to put the seal in his hand.

The family's old shrine is in the suburbs. It is quite a distance from the Genji Heavy Industries Building in the center of Shinjuku City. It takes at least half an hour to drive. Genji knows that the sake priest is not willing to go all the way to the Genji Heavy Industries Building just for the sake of it. The old priest cares about whether he is working hard and in good health. In the final analysis, the old priest still cares about the files and funds.

Most of the priests in the shrine are family members who have committed mistakes in the past. This chief priest is no exception. It is said that he committed the crime of taking the wife of a family member for himself during World War II, and was sentenced to "tongue-cutting" by the head of the family at that time. Therefore, this old priest will not open his mouth too much when speaking, so as not to expose his remaining half tongue and the shame of that year. After so many years, his pronunciation has been trained to be the same as that of a normal person, and this long-standing sin has been buried in the history of the past, and no one mentions it anymore.
