High Priest in Japan

Heqing-kun, I haven't seen you for a long time. Your demeanor is even better than before. Fujiwara Michinobu, who was dressed in a traditional gray-brown kimono, greeted with a smile on his face in the compound of the home of a samurai in the old shogunate era.

Accept your good words, but Fujiwara-kun seems to be in a bad state. Did you encounter any trouble? Qin Heqing, who was following the servants in the mansion, stopped, looked at Fujiwara Michinobu for a while and asked in surprise.

Sure enough, I can't hide it from Heqing-kun. Let's go into the house. Fujiwara Michinobu smiled wryly, and said with an invitation gesture sideways.

please.

Then the two walked into the hall for receiving guests, and each knelt and sat down on the tatami mats on one side.

This is the only bad thing about old-fashioned old houses. They are good-looking, but some of the furnishings and layouts inside have to go back to the old times, which is a bit against the social trend. It is difficult to adapt to this serious kneeling posture.

Without him, the legs can't stand it after a long time.

After exchanging greetings and drinking tea, it took me a while to get to the point.

The reason why I invited He Qingjun over this time is mainly because I want to ask Qin Jun for one thing.

Please? Qin Heqing asked unexpectedly, What is it?

At the same time, the situation on his face became thoughtful, as if he had noticed something.

If something happens to me or something happens to me, I hope you, Mr. Qin, can help take care of my mother because of the friendship we have had as comrades-in-arms. Fujiwara Daoxin gave a wry smile and bowed down very formally please.

Why me? And with your family's situation, it shouldn't be a problem to find someone of the same clan who is equally capable to help take care of you? No matter how bad you are, you can also find people from the Tsuchimikado family. There are so many close relatives and relatives People don't ask, they have to find an outsider like me... If Fujiwara-kun can't give me a reasonable reason, please forgive me for not agreeing. Qin Heqing looked at him, shook his head slightly and refused.

He has no relatives and no reason, why should he raise a mother for others?

He Qin Heqing didn't have a mother in this life, but it didn't mean she lacked a mother.

It's not that I don't want... oh... but, it's that this incident involves a family scandal. Michinobu Fujiwara hesitated for a moment before sighing helplessly.

Later, through Fujiwara Michinobu's narration, Qin Heqing generally understood what happened.

Just like all the rich and bloody dramas, the Fujiwara family also encountered things that the illegitimate child and the main family did not deal with.

It's just that it didn't happen in this generation, but I want to mention Fujiwara Michinobu's grandparents. At that time, it was the late shogunate period, and many customs still maintained the customs of the shogunate period-such as polygamy! So Fujiwara Michinobu's grandfather was not the only son of the family, but had brothers and sisters.

The only difference from those brothers and sisters is that his grandfather is a natural son, born half a chip above everyone else, plus he is talented, so he is inevitably somewhat proud and arrogant, unlike other brothers and sisters of the same generation who came from the concubine. Too deal with, so a lot of contradictions accumulated.

If it was normal at that time, it would be fine, but it just happened to catch up with the Falling Curtain War. As a strong supporter of the shogunate system, the Fujiwara clan was inevitably involved, and the patriarch was not surprised to support the reformers at that time. In the hands of the forbidden Taoist, the family suffered a great blow, and all kinds of chaos occurred frequently. It was not something that the grandfather of Michinobu Fujiwara, who was a high school student at most, could handle at a young age.

So all kinds of wrong decisions began to appear one after another...

Then something unexpected but reasonable happened. The concubine finally couldn't stand the different treatment of Grandpa Fujiwara Michinobu, and left the family directly in a fit of anger, and the family was separated.

If it's just that, it's fine, but I don't know if he was bewitched or he was out of his mind, but a certain male in the concubine immediately transferred to the Curse Forbidden Dao department, which annoyed the young and energetic The grandfather of Fujiwara Michinobu, who had just taken power not long ago, no longer cared about his blood and family ties, and directly ordered the pursuit and killing of his concubine children...

At this point, the conflict between the two sides intensified, and then evolved into hatred with the bloodshed in the battle, and no one could see the good of the other, making things even more out of control.

It wasn't until the Falling Curtain War was over, when the reformers had gained a firm foothold, and the Cursed Forbidden Dao disappeared for some reason, that the whole thing came to an end.

But Fujiwara Daoxin did not expect that after a lapse of nearly a hundred years, the descendants of that line appeared again, and attacked him very unceremoniously, and this was the scene when Qin Heqing and Fujiwara Daoxin met.

Are you worried that the other party will kill them all? Qin Heqing frowned.

Yes. After all, you also know the concept of cursing the forbidden way. They are all a group of extreme guys. No one knows what kind of people in that family have been influenced by the influence of nearly a hundred years. Michinobu Fujiwara Reluctantly said.

Then why didn't you find the Tuyumen family? Qin Heqing asked still puzzled.

The reason why the Curse-Forbidden Way suddenly retreated after the victory of the Restoration and lost power, although it was influenced by many families, but the most important thing was because of the Tsuchimikado clan, so on the day when it was impossible to determine whether to belong to the Curse-Forbidden Way Whether the members of the Zhi family came to us for revenge, or it is a sign that before the Jujudo intends to return to the mainland, I can't pin my hopes on the Tsuchimikado clan... Fujiwara Michinobu explained.

Curse forbidden way... Qin Heqing was silent, and couldn't help but think of what happened in Tachibana Mali. After all, Yue'er also said that the tattoo on her body involves the technique of cursing the forbidden way. Although it is not complete, it may even be a mutated version, but combined with what Fujiwara Michinobu said, it is really difficult for Qin Heqing to regard it as a Isolated cases exist.

Otherwise, for so many years in the past, there was no trace of the curse forbidden way, how can it be such a coincidence to encounter two things related to it at once?

So Qin Heqing had reason to suspect that the Cursed Forbidden Dao probably wanted to kill him back.

He Qingjun, He Qingjun.

Sorry, I was distracted. Qin Heqing apologized.

He Qing-kun thought of something? Fujiwara Michinobu said seriously.

Because judging from his brief contact and understanding of Qin Heqing, Qin Heqing doesn't seem like someone who would easily distract himself when discussing things.

So there must be a reason for distraction, and it is probably related to what I said.

Indeed there are some. Qin Heqing nodded and told the story of Tachibana Mali.

Ghost tattoos, engraving techniques... are indeed very similar to the style of the Forbidden Curse Dao! It seems that the members of my family not only came back to seek revenge from us, but also very likely came with a mission, representing the Forbidden Curse Dao He came to test our details. No, this matter must be communicated to the countermeasures bureau, so as not to be caught off guard when the forbidden curse really comes back. Fujiwara Michinobu said in a deep voice.
