Dragon Clan: Restart your life

Sake and sesame nori were put on the table.

"Young man, there is no abalone and sea urchin ramen tonight because I didn't prepare the ingredients." Uesugoshi put the noodles into the soup pot, "Remember to make a reservation in advance next time, and don't bring Anger with you. If it weren't for you, I would have already Once the stall is closed, this old bastard will no longer be seen."

"Here's to our revolutionary friendship that has lasted for more than sixty years." Angers raised his glass.

"Fucking revolutionary friendship is a bad fate!" Master Yue said angrily, "If I had a choice, I would definitely choose not to know you, so that no one would disturb my life."

"That's so rude." Ange sighed, "Look at you, and then look at Ahe. Ahe is just a family head, but he sent someone to pick me up at the airport, brought dozens of bodyguards, and drove a whole fleet of cars. Mercedes-Benz has blocked the entry and exit halls.”

"The reception was held at the most luxurious club in Shibuya. Dozens of girls covered in gold powder danced for me, and various idol girls poured me wine and lit cigarettes."

"And you, the underworld emperor, are reluctant to treat me to a bowl of ramen."

"It's the former underworld emperor." Uesugi frowned and said, "It was that guy Aga who told you my location, right?"

"Aga booked the place to welcome me, why did you have to turn the other way around? How about, I can book your ramen stall and buy you ramen for a whole month." Ange shrugged, "Brother is rich."

"I know that you often book a room in Paris and buy drinks for everyone that night, and the bar girls are vying to sit on your lap, but there is no rule of booking a room here. Rich and wealthy guests like you will always leave when they come," Uesugi Koshi He said calmly, "And for the past 70 years, I have only relied on students to patronize my ramen noodles."

"You asked for this. You have a street worth $1.2 billion waiting to be developed, but you would rather go to the grave with it. Who will inherit this street when you die? You have Heir?" Angers raised his eyebrows.

"I am really poor. I don't have much money in my bank account. I have to support myself every month with the income from selling ramen. The only valuable thing I have is this piece of land, but after selling it It will be developed into skyscrapers, these old houses will be demolished, and the old trees will be moved away. There will be no place for old people like me."

Master Yue wiped the table and said calmly,

"Old guys like us, where can we go after losing our former habitat? There is no place for us in the new world. Angers, not everyone can live as freely as you."

"Are you free and easy?" Angers scratched his head, "Let's take this as your compliment."

"It's just praise." Master Yue sighed, "When I see you appearing in front of me like you did back then, I feel like time is going backwards. How long have you lived, old guy, and why won't you die?"

"I will not die before I realize my dream." Angers smiled.

"But I don't have such a great dream as yours, so can't you let me go?" Master Yue said with a bitter smile.

Angers lifted up the cloth cover and looked out of the van. This was a small street behind the University of Tokyo. Thanks to a certain master Yue, this street had never been developed and retained its appearance decades ago.

There are old wooden houses on both sides of the street, and there is a hint of dilapidation in the quietness. But walk a few dozen steps from here, and outside you will see brightly lit high-rise buildings, Japan's city that never sleeps.

The changes in the world over the past few decades have been earth-shaking. High-rise buildings have been erected one after another like bamboo joints. Human beings have challenged the limits of building height again and again.

Whenever I see those towering buildings and countless novelty gadgets, Angers always feels like a tombstone from the old era.

"Let me tell you a story." Master Yue pushed two bowls of ramen in front of Lu Mingfei, "Two bowls of soy milk ramen. Thank you for your patronage. Eat it quickly! Young man, can I accompany you to this roadside stall to eat noodles? Girl, you must cherish it!"

"What story?" Angers asked.

Master Yue brought over two more bottles of sake and an empty small cup.

"I also heard from a customer. He is a foreign scholar who came to Japan to investigate the local customs. Before coming to Japan, he heard that Japanese hot springs are for men and women to bathe together. He really wanted to be with a beautiful girl in the hot springs. Being naked, drinking wine and eating hot spring eggs, what an unforgettable memory this will be."

Master Yue poured a glass of sake and drank it slowly.

The vice-principal said with great interest: "You actually still retain this bad habit? Are men and women bathing together in Tokyo?"

Master Yue narrowed his eyes: "That scholar also asked the professor who received him the same question. The professor said, alas, I only heard my fathers talk about the common bathing between men and women in the past. It no longer exists in Tokyo, but I heard It is said that there are others in Hokkaido. I have a friend who is a writer living in seclusion in Hokkaido. We went to find him. So they went to Hokkaido, but after the writer heard their intention, he regretfully said that you were late and I didn’t even have it. Have you ever bathed in hot springs like this? They are probably only found in extremely cold mountains now, right? In this case, I will take you to the mountains to ask. Then they hiked into the snow-capped mountains and rested in the home of a mountain man at night. They went out to visit The writer came back at midnight and shouted, "There is plenty! There are hot springs for communal bathing here! But the women bathing there are all old ladies!"

Several people present were smiling.

Is this not so much a story as a joke derived from Japanese customs?

But Master Yue didn't laugh. He poured another glass of wine and continued, "At this time, the visiting scholars and professors quickly put on their clothes and walked out of the door impatiently, shouting that we should leave as soon as possible!"

The vice-principal took a breath of the cold wind and shuddered: "Which country's scholars have such strong tastes? They can't be from the UK, right?"

Angers glared at him angrily.

He was born in England and is of Anglo-American descent.

Master Yue spread his hands and imitated the scholar's tone and said: "Because if we wait any longer, those old ladies who were once young girls will become even older. When they pass away, there will no longer be a bathing partner in Japan." It’s a hot spring.”

This time even the vice principal fell silent.

The old guys understood the joke without exception.

This joke may be just a joke to young people. After hearing it, everyone laughed and then forgot about it.

But for old guys like them who have lived for too long, there is such a heavy sadness.

This sadness comes from time, called "years", and it is so heavy that people cannot resist it.

"If young people know that the Shadow Emperor of the Jakikihachi family is giving them ramen, will they ask you for an autograph as a souvenir, or will they be so frightened that they kneel on the ground to apologize?" Anger suddenly asked.

"The former Shadow Emperor is just a ramen chef now. They pay me and I ramen for them. They don't need to apologize."

Lu Mingfei's expression gradually became weird.

The previous emperor of the eight Sheqi families?

Cheap uncle's ancestors?

He suddenly understood why Lu Mingze strongly recommended him to eat noodles at this roadside ramen restaurant.

"Ange, I am an old guy too." Master Yue said softly, "The new era has no place for old guys like me. I should die here quietly."

"I have been retired for more than sixty years and have been waiting for death. Why are you still hanging on to me?"

"The new world doesn't need people like you?" Angers asked.

"Yes, the new world does not need monsters like me." Master Yue said firmly.

"But the problem is, your successor has appeared again." Angers said softly.

The boss' hand holding the wine glass suddenly stopped and trembled slightly.

"You heard that right, the Sheqi family clenched into a fist just like they did when they found you before World War II. What do you think gave them the confidence?"

Ange put down his wine glass and said calmly, "The previous master's name was Ju Zhengzong. The person was changed just a few days ago. The current master's name is Yuan Zhisheng. Do you know these two people?"

"You are not mistaken, I came to you this time not only to reminisce between old friends, but also to start a war." Ange stared at Uesugoshi's eyes and said word by word, "If the Sheqi Eighth Clan insists on having its own way, Then I can only finish what I didn’t finish back then, and clean up the Sheqiba family!”

"Impossible!" Uesugi whispered.

"You think I can't do it?" Angers sneered.

"It's impossible for a new Shadow King to appear!" Master Yue roared, "The three inner families are already dead!"

"What did you say?" Ange was surprised.

"The proof of the Shadow Emperor is blood. Since ancient times, only the Three Nei families can give birth to the Shadow Emperor. But the Three Nei families have died, and I am the last person from the Three Nei families!" Master Yue raised his finger and pointed at himself and said, "I am the last emperor. . Do you think there will be a new super hybrid in Sheqiba’s family? No chance, the super hybrid will be done with me.”

Angre frowned. He glanced at the girl next to Lu Mingfei and thought, isn't there a mafia princess from the Uesugi family?

Speaking of which, both of you are named Uesugi, so I'm afraid you are somewhat related.

The girl with dark red hair sat quietly next to the carriage. She scooped up the snow-white and rich soup with a wooden spoon, rolled up the slender ramen noodles with chopsticks, and carefully put it into her mouth.

She was eating so seriously, as if everyone's conversation had nothing to do with her.

Lu Mingfei was beside her helping her peel garlic.

These two little guys seemed to have their own barrier, blocking the conversations of the old guys. They seemed to really be here to eat ramen.

"Are you saying that Masamune Tachibana and Minamoto Chisei are not really descendants of the three families?"

"They can find a few children from the outer five families to adopt to the inner three families, and change their surnames to Minamoto, Tachibana, or Uesugi, but that is a lie. The real inner three families are the families that inherit the royal blood. People with the outer surnames cannot change no matter how hard they try. Become an emperor."

"What exactly is the Emperor?"

"It's a monster that shouldn't exist in this world." Uesugi said in a low voice.

"Be clear. If you don't make it clear, we will continue to come and eat and drink for free tomorrow." The vice-principal said with a leisurely expression.

This guy brought his own packed side dishes, and now he was drinking sake with a certain priest.

It seemed that they left the battlefield of topics to Angers and Uesugoshi, but in fact they were always paying attention to the dialogue in the field.

"Are you acting like a rogue?" Uesugi said with a black face, "Are you worthy of your status?"

"As long as everyone doesn't tell anyone, no one will know what happened tonight, Mr. Former Shadow Emperor." The vice-principal shrugged, reminding him of his identity.

"It's a blessing to know you all in my life." Uesugi expressed deep sorrow.

He poured himself a small glass of sake, drank it slowly, thought for a long time, and said in a low voice: "This will be a long story. This story must be told from the war in ancient times..."

"To make a long story short." The vice principal interrupted him and patted the table, "Also, where is my ramen? I'm here to eat ramen!"

Uesugi's face twitched slightly and he said, "I believe you are Leonardo now. This beating is indeed unique to you."

Master Yue stood up and returned to his old business, rolling the soup in the pot with his spoon, and said angrily, "Stop interrupting me, and listen to your story in peace!"

"You should all know about the Ice Sea incident. The black emperor suppressed the white emperor, captured her, tied her to a copper pillar that reached the sky, and sank the copper pillar deep into the ice sea..."

The story begins.

Angers slowly sat up straight, folded his hands, and looked solemn and respectful like a good student listening to a lecture.

This respect is not for Uesugi Koshi, but for the emperors of the mythical era. Although they are all dead, their names are still like blazing torches, brilliant and unparalleled when they are mentioned again tens of millions of years later. .

Lu Mingfei raised his head and glanced around, thinking someone was calling him.

Seeing that no one called him, he lowered his head again and leaned in front of Eryi.

"Sakura, the ramen is delicious." Eriki whispered in his ear, her voice was soft and soft, almost inaudible.

Lu Mingfei sighed inwardly. A princess who regarded Michelin three stars as a canteen was treated by a bowl of ramen from a roadside stall.

"The ice sea has been frozen for 60 years, and its location is speculated to be north of today's Iceland. The Black King drew two cracks a hundred kilometers long on the frozen sea. The cracks crisscrossed to form a huge cross. It is the 'Place of Execution'. It seems that an ice cone has been inserted into the northern ocean of the world and will never melt. The sun will never see the sky there."

"And the reason why the Black King did this is to show all dragons the fate of betrayers, and it is also preparation for the complete destruction of the White King."

Ange suddenly said: "The Black King has been preparing for sixty years?"

Uesugi Yue nodded: "That's what is recorded in the book, because the Black King himself is not sure that he can kill her forever. The White King is the dragon closest to the Black King in history."

"The second time you used 'she' to call the White King, does that mean the White King is a female?" Angers said. (Japanese)

"This is not necessarily true, but because the eight Sheqi families are all descendants of the White King, we believe that she is the common mother of the eight Sheqi families. We respectfully call her 'Joruri Mother', so we usually use the female name." She's coming to address."

Uesugoshi explained, "After 60 years of freezing, the Black King sank the White King and the copper pillar into the volcano on the bottom of the sea. After the extreme cold, he burned her with extreme heat and turned her into ashes. Then he swallowed those ashes and took back the power he gave to the White King. The Black King believed that he had completely killed the White King and completely wiped out the White King's bloodline."

"Then there shouldn't be any descendants of the White King in the world." Angers said.

"Yes, it wasn't supposed to happen, but during those 60 years, some humans sneaked into the 'Place of Execution'!"

"Human?" Angers was stunned.

Uesugi nodded slowly: "The Black King has set up a domain in the place of execution, but that is to prevent the invasion of dragons. If a powerful dragon invades the place of execution, the White King will emerge from the ice sea cage. , then there is no doubt that the war will restart. But that restriction cannot restrict weak humans, it only responds to the powerful dragon bloodline."

"Just like a city wall can stop a battering ram, but it can't stop a rat," Angers said.

"Now we have no way of knowing why that human being risked being crushed by the Black King to sneak into that forbidden place, and how he withstood the extreme cold there. But in the end he did it."

"He reached a contract with the White King and obtained the 'Holy Child'. This is a mysterious reference, just like the so-called 'Holy Grail' in Christianity probably refers to the 'Blood of Christ'. We think he obtained the White The king's 'blood of the ancient dragon'."

"This human being is the ancestor of the Snake Qiba family. He was also the first generation of the 'Shadow Emperor', but there was no such title at that time. After Japan came into contact with China, the descendants of the Snake Qiba family believed that the 'Emperor' was the king above and below. The word " can illustrate our bloodline inheritance, so we call ourselves 'Emperor'."

"You're saying that the ancestors of the Sheqiba family were blessed with the blood of ancient dragons, and in this way they became hybrids, even close to pure-blooded dragons?" Anger asked in surprise.

Previously, the law of hybrids was a critical blood limit. If the blood limit was exceeded, hybrids would degenerate into Deadpool.

In response to this, he and the vice-chancellor actually launched a special plan, the Nibelung Plan, but this was to curb corruption through alchemy and serum.

And now, a life form that is born to exceed the critical blood limit law is born.

"Yes, what do you think is a super hybrid?" Uesugi Yue shrugged, "The emperor can be said to be a pure descendant of the White King. Every emperor is a monster, and our bodies are almost filled with dragon blood."

"Tracing back to the roots, the hybrids in Europe originated from the dark ages when humans dedicated human females to male dragons for mating and reproducing, while the hybrid families in Japan came from the forced modification of genes by dragon blood. We can call it 'evolution', or we can Call it 'pollution'."

"This is the origin of the emperor's blood."
