Lu Mingfei Returns from Monster Hunting

Chapter 108 Tachibana Masamune

"Miss, next time please don't run around before the meeting at my house."

Seeing the girl with her head half down, Sakura finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The girl nodded aggrievedly.

She was still quite afraid of Sakura getting angry.

Although Sakura is nominally her brother's subordinate, it is basically equivalent to her subordinate.

But Sakura can always educate her with the aura of an elder, not like a subordinate, but like her sister-in-law.

"You are one of the Patriarchs of Sheqi Eight Families, so don't always be as willful as a child."

Sakura sighed and touched the girl's long dark red hair.

"Patriarch of the eight families? She too?"

Beside the two, Lu Mingfei asked curiously.

In his mind, the image of the head of the ancient underworld family like the Sheqi Bajia should be a tall and thin old man, wearing a pitch-black kimono, with bursts of yin from his nostrils.

It's hard to relate to the dumb beautiful girl in front of you.

"Yes, Miss is the head of the Uesugi family among the three surnames." Sakura bowed slightly, "Thank you for helping me find Miss this time, otherwise the meeting will be delayed again."

"Uh... no thanks, I just came out to hang around out of boredom, I met by chance, I didn't know she was an important person in your family."

Lu Mingfei was sincere, leaving half a sentence of truth in his words.

Patriarch Uesugi shrank behind Sakura like a kitten, and tugged on her sleeve.

Just as Lu Mingfei thumped in his heart, thinking that the girl was about to tell what happened just now, she held up the small notebook.

"What about brother?"

"The young master went to deal with some matters before, and he has come back. He and other Patriarchs are waiting for you in Xingshen Temple. Please follow me."

The elevator stopped on the [-]th floor, which was the place where Lu Mingfei had teased earlier that it was a nursing home.

But the meeting was not held here.

Sakura went to the corner, opened a hidden sliding door, and the sunlight seeped in.

The genial brilliance adds a bit of warmth to the winter.

There is actually a spacious terrace on this floor. It is hidden in a corner of the building, and it is not easy to be noticed from the ground and the sky. Only by opening this sliding door can one step into this cave.

The name of this place is Xingshen Temple, and it really is the decorative style of the temple.

But not a Buddhist temple, but a Shinto temple.

There is a small vermilion "torii gate".

Lu Mingfei has never seen this thing in the real world, but it can be seen in many animations.

In many shrines on the mountains in Japan, a series of torii gates will be cast on the mountain road leading to the look.

It exists to remind visitors that stepping into the torii is entering the realm of the gods.

All the words and deeds of the visitor after that should be paid special attention to.

The space of Xingshen Temple is not large, so there is only one torii.

However, its granite walls are carved with various ghosts and gods in Shintoism.

From the majestic Amaterasu and Tsukiyomi, to the mighty Susanoo, and the vicious ghosts.

Some have lion-like faces with their fangs bared, and some sit cross-legged on a pile of skeletons. The wind and clouds surround these gods and demons, as if a hundred ghosts are walking at night.

These images of ghosts and gods set off the atmosphere of the temple.

There is also a clear flowing spring on the terrace, surrounded by dry mountains and waters composed of white stones and green grass, leisurely revealing a sense of Zen.

Sakura held the copper basin, which contained clear water.

Patriarch Uesugi obediently washed his hands and rinsed his mouth with clean water.

Lu Mingfei hurriedly followed behind and studied in a decent manner.

He is not Japanese. Although he is good at Japanese, he also does not know the "Tezumi Ritual" of visiting shrines in Japan.

He just saw Patriarch Uesugi do this, so he followed suit.

It's just a bit strange that a man and a woman wash their hands and mouth with a basin of water.

Seeing him rudely drink a large mouthful of hand water used by the young lady, and spit it out again, Sakura was a little confused.

"What are you doing?"

"Isn't it... a ceremony...?" Lu Mingfei was surprised.

"I have a second copy here."

With her left hand, Sakura raised a wooden spoon like scooping well water, and pointed to the clear water inside.

Lu Mingfei: "..."

"Cough cough."

The water left in his mouth sprayed uncontrollably to the ground.

He widened his eyes: "Didn't you say it earlier?!"

"You are moving too fast."

The corner of Sakura's mouth twitched slightly.

She had mentally marked the commissioner of the headquarters with a non-threatening description.

How could someone with such a dull mind discover the secret of their Japanese branch.

"Anyway, it's good that you don't dislike it."

"Of course I..."

Lu Mingfei just wanted to say "Of course I hate it", after all, this is equivalent to drinking other people's saliva.

Even if the culture here is very perverted for someone who has always known that he is living a good life, he is prepared to do as the Romans do before he comes.

But no one wants to drink someone's mouthwash for no reason.

But when he saw the beautiful girl who looked like she came out of a Two-dimensional anime not far away, the words suddenly stuck in the corner of his mouth.

Forget it, if you suffer a little, you will suffer a little.

Lu Mingfei shook his head.

"Take me in."

inside the temple.

Black and white stone tables form a circular Tai Chi pattern.

Seeing Sakura, the six people waiting at the table stood up and bowed.

"You have already met, Mr. Yuan Zhisheng, the head of the Yuan family."

Sakura introduced Lu Mingfei one by one.

Lu Mingfei was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the director of the executive bureau of the Japanese branch was actually one of the highest-ranking people among the three and eight people in Sheqi.

In this way, the Sheqi Bajia were really kind to him.

Except for being a little tighter.

Minamoto, who had changed into a kimono, sat there with a calm expression.

He just glanced at Patriarch Uesugi, and Patriarch Uesugi immediately moved to sit beside him with small steps.

That attitude didn't look like the other party's brother, but rather like her own father.

It turns out that the concept of elder brother like father is also popular here in Japan.

Lu Mingfei thought silently.

"The head of the Ryoma family, Mr. Genichiro Ryoma, Mr. Genichiro Ryoma is the current head of the Japanese branch."

The Patriarch of Longma's family is neither shabby nor ghoulish.

A man who appears to be going through a midlife crisis, in a clean suit.

The thinning hair was combed carefully, but the whole person looked lifeless.

It seems to be written all over the face, "overtime pressure, big boss, fierce promotion, no hope of wife messing with others, daughter and puppy love, why don't I die".

Or the current Japanese branch minister?

If you say this guy is a pure middle-aged loser office worker, he will believe it!

Lu Mingfei murmured in his heart.

"The head of the Inuyama family, Mr. Inuyama He. Mr. Inuyama He was the first branch minister, and now he is old and has retired. He is an old friend of Principal Angers."

The head of the Inuyama family with gray hair looks very kind, with a smile that shines like sunshine.

He scratched his head and laughed, "Ah, ah, because I can't kill Anger, I have to be friends with him. What a pity~"

"The head of the Sakurai family, Ms. Sakurai Nanami, she also serves as the inspector of the Japanese branch."

The head of the Sakurai family is a woman with stunning looks, dressed as a young woman.

Although she deliberately dressed conservatively, the suit skirt couldn't hide her fiery curves, and the pair of dark red thick-rimmed glasses were worn on her face, adding color to her plain face like full makeup.

"Mr. Fuma Kotaro, the head of the Fuma family, and the 'Wakatou' of the family. When the head of the family is away, Mr. Fuma makes decisions for the family. Mr. Fuma is not working in the Japanese branch for the time being, but this time we have the help of Mr. Fuma's ninja team. , so he also came."

The Patriarch of the Feng Mo family finally fits the image of the underworld big brother in Lu Mingfei's mind.

This old man in a black kimono is like a knife made of forged iron. His eyes are cold and stern. After being scanned by him, he can't help but get goosebumps... Mmm... Lu Mingfei didn't feel that way, but felt that his eyes were a little prickly people.

And the other party's name is Kotaro Fuma. There was a man called the King of Ninjas in Japanese history who also had this name.

He can't really be the Fuma Kotaro in history, can he?That ninja king was more than 400 years ago.

"The last one is Mr. Tachibana Masamune, the Patriarch of the Tachibana Family, who is also the head of the Sheqi Ba Family."

The old man in white linen stepped forward and stretched out his hand, he smiled at Lu Mingfei, even Fumo Kotaro, who was as sharp as a knife, did not have the calmness of him.

The natural and friendly smile contains the self-confidence that seems to be able to firmly grasp everything in his hands, which has the taste of a smiling tiger.

This made Lu Mingfei very uncomfortable.
