Lu Mingfei doesn’t want to be a superhero

Chapter 142 The elixir of immortality is in Japan? (Please give me a monthly ticket~)

Genji Heavy Industries, top floor.

Lu Mingfei's spirit body floated in front of the painted mural, feeling a little distressed.

His spiritual body's vision is the same as that of his physical body. He does not have the ability to see at night. He can only clearly see the illuminated murals near the evergreen lamp. The murals further away are hidden in the darkness and cannot be seen clearly.

Although the ever-burning lamp is bright enough, the influence of the spirit body on the material world is very weak, and it cannot even lift a cup of wax, let alone the floor-standing ever-burning lamp that is almost as tall as a person.

After thinking for a moment, an idea flashed in Lu Mingfei's mind.

He raised his hand, and translucent red silver threads emerged from his palm, quickly weaving into a long sword that exuded a faint light.

Immediately following Lu Mingfei's thought, the light on the sword suddenly rose, illuminating the surroundings.

Lu Mingfei was not sure whether someone using the physical body would see these lights, but anyway, as a spirit body, he could indeed see the surroundings clearly with the help of the light of the Silver Sword.

It is indeed a weapon produced by the Dwarf King. After being integrated into the body, it can be used even in the spirit state.

With the light of the Silver Sword, Lu Mingfei began to examine the mural from the beginning.

These murals seem to be some years old, at least they are definitely not modern products, but the paint on them is still as sticky as paste. I don’t know what materials the people who painted them used.

The first mural looks a bit like a map. There are dragons and snakes in the vast sea. Towering cities stand on the land. Vertical roads span the sea. Black and white dragons are suspended side by side in the sky, each stretching out a hand and holding The same golden scepter.

Except for the two dragons floating in the sky, which are obviously the Black King and the White King, this painting is more like a map, a map... recording the ancient dragon city.

Lu Mingfei was a little surprised. All hybrids knew that there was a time when dragons ruled the world. Their civilization was more prosperous than modern human civilization. The Secret Party has been committed to restoring the history of dragons in order to study their alchemy technology and weaknesses. , which naturally includes the urban distribution map of ancient dragons, but even the European part has not been completely restored so far, and there are still ongoing disputes in the academic community.

If the content in this painting is not nonsense, then it must be worth a lot of money, and the principal may have to fly here in person.

It's a pity that Lu Mingfei didn't have a suitable excuse to tell the truth, otherwise he would be quite curious about what the college would do, would it be a forced purchase or a robbery?

He continued to look at the map, and the picture gradually became absurd. There was a ferocious monster with eight long necks and eight heads surrounding its body. The long necks were knotted like ropes. It was lying on the ground with its head drinking. The water in the upper reaches of the eight rivers has sharp long tails that cut through the mountains at the end of the rivers, and bright red water flows out from the belly and mixes into the rivers. From this painting, it seems that this is a giant creature that is hundreds of kilometers long.

There is also a naked woman frozen in a huge ice block, and a snake crawls out of the cracks in the ice block to talk to the people above the ice block; all kinds of incredible scenes are very symbolic, but they are difficult to understand.

This is obviously a metaphor, but it is a pity that Lu Mingfei cannot understand it. In other words, this metaphorical painting method itself is to prevent "outsiders" from understanding the content. Only those who have certain knowledge can compare it with the murals one by one. , can be interpreted.

Lu Mingfei remembered an analysis of the Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon that he had read online before. The sweeping monk said that the more you practice the Seventy-Two Secrets of Shaolin, the more violent the anger will become, and you need to be proficient in Buddhism to resolve it. This statement is not very martial arts, but a bit crazy. After the Xianxia left, some people in the analysis speculated that the reason why the Seventy-two Secret Skills require profound Buddhist teachings is because the secret books use a large number of unique Buddhist terms to replace the terms in ordinary martial arts secret books, so that people who do not know enough about Buddhist culture will Practice the wrong secrets and become obsessed.

This is similar to the way murals are used to metaphorize certain information.

Anyway, the snake in the mural is definitely not real, at least it is definitely not that big. It is a huge monster hundreds of kilometers away. From a biological point of view, it will directly crush itself to death, unless it has the physical fitness of Hulk, but in this case It might be able to use a nuclear bomb as a cannon, which is a bit fantasy when you think about it.

Because there was no key information for interpreting the metaphor, Lu Mingfei did not stay in front of the second picture for long, and then drifted to the third picture - there were many annotations in small seal characters on it.

It is undoubtedly Chinese Xiaozhuan. I am afraid that when the mural was painted, the Japanese had not yet invented their own writing, so the painter used Chinese Xiaozhuan for annotation. However, Xiaozhuan was ordered by Qin Shihuang when he unified the six kingdoms when he "shu Tongwen" in the Yin and Zhou Dynasties. The new simplified font based on the big seal script was gradually replaced by the official script in the late Western Han Dynasty.

Looking at it this way, this mural may have a history of about two thousand years. Regarding the cultural exchanges between China and Japan at that time, Lu Mingfei could only think of Xu Fu taking five hundred boys and girls eastward to find the elixir of life, and then drifted to Japan. The legend of the originator of the Japanese people.

There are many people on the third mural. Lu Mingfei’s understanding of small seal script is limited. Fortunately, Chinese characters are passed down from generation to generation, and every change is traceable. For example, modern Chinese people have the ability to understand traditional Chinese characters.

Although the Xiaozhuan script is very different from the simplified Chinese characters due to several changes, fortunately the characters on the murals are relatively simple, so Lu Mingfei can understand something without even guessing - basically they are all exaggerated. Kind words.

The general meaning is that a supreme and noble hybrid will appear in the world periodically, called the "Emperor", and his birth is called the "incarnation". His significance is comparable to that of Prometheus, who stole fire. Jesus Christ, whose blood atones for mankind's sins, is the Son of Heaven, the Emperor of Destiny. His titles include 'Eastern Emperor', 'Yao Emperor', 'Zhen Emperor', 'Taiwei Lord'... He brings together all human beings. A combination of virtue and great power to fight against God.

These notes are written near a small figure with a gold border in the mural. People around him are bowing to this small figure.

Lu Mingfei is not too interested in this kind of thing. He is an old otaku and is very familiar with the habits of the Japanese. These people always use praising words to be exaggerated. Their daily words are "so awesome" and "awesome", right Olympic athletes are called "The Strongest Female High School Student in Counterattack", and even "Cooking Immortal" and "Sushi God". Those who don't know better think that they are about to ascend to the culinary profession.

Therefore, Lu Mingfei didn't pay much attention to the loud honorifics on the murals. After looking at them for a long time, the only effective information he extracted was that "the eight Sheqi families will give birth to an 'emperor' every few years, and the emperor's bloodline can exceed He stays awake with the extreme proportions of a hybrid, has the potential to rival the Dragon King, and is the natural leader of the Eight Sheqi families.”

When seeing this, Lu Mingfei suddenly thought of the head of the Uesugi family - according to her, all pure-blood dragons that the Sheqi family cannot handle will be handed over to her, which means that her power is at least superior to most. Above pure blood dragons, it is even possible to reach the realm of ancient dragons.

Could it be that she is the "emperor" mentioned in the mural?

Lu Mingfei was a little confused. Didn't he say that the "Emperor" was the natural leader of the eight Sheqi families? The Sheqi family just locked their leader in a small room in a building under house arrest? Is this a puppet emperor?

He continued to look at it, and the mural at the back had no text and was very abstract. It showed a skeleton with wings giving a bone to a person. What is surprising is that skeletons and people form a "yin-yang fish" structure. The golden skeleton lies on a black background, and the golden person lies on a white background. The skeleton arm holding the bones is in contact with the human hand. The whole picture Turning like a whirlpool.

The background of the "yin and yang fish" at the back probably expresses the meaning of reincarnation, flow, life and death, etc. Lu Mingfei can guess it, but what do the golden skulls with wings, the bones, and the person who takes the bones represent respectively? ?

The metaphorical painting cannot be interpreted without the key information as a "key", so Lu Mingfei skips this one and looks at the next one.

This is the last mural. Its composition is very simple. At first glance, there is only a white dragon roaring up to the sky. The dragon occupies almost the entire mural. Its wings spread out and extend to the edges of the two walls, as if it will break away from the mural and fly out.

But if you look closely, you can find that there is something at the bottom of the mural - a cracked thing similar to an eggshell or cocoon. The eggshell or cocoon is surrounded by a golden rim like a king, and white bones are scattered around it. , the tip of the white dragon's tail hangs just above the crack in the eggshell.

What does it mean? Will a Japanese dragon emerge from a cocoon and be reborn? Lu Mingfei was a little puzzled.

The white dragon looks exactly like the white dragon holding the scepter in the original mural. If nothing else, it should be the white king who rebelled against the black king and was completely killed by him - at least the history of dragons discovered by the Secret Party This is how it is recorded.

But looking at this mural, it seems to mean that the White King was not completely killed, and one day it will be reborn in a cocoon?

Well, if this is true, then the secret party will have one more enemy in the future, and it will be one more enemy more terrifying than the four kings.

Lu Mingfei shook his head, his eyes falling on the golden edge outlined by eggshells - what does this golden edge that is almost exactly the same as the emperor's mean?

You can't express that this eggshell is the emperor...

A bold idea jumped into Lu Mingfei's mind.

Isn't this eggshell really the emperor? Then doesn't the meaning of this mural mean that for some reason, the emperor became...the White King? !

Lu Mingfei was startled by his own thoughts. He subconsciously felt that it was a bit ridiculous. Although finding a way to evolve into a pure-blood dragon has always been the ultimate goal of many forces in the mixed-race world, the most everyone could do was to think about evolving into a pure-blood dragon. Ordinary mixed-blood dragons can live forever and be reborn in cocoons from now on. Who can reach the sky in one step and dream of becoming one of the four monarchs or even a higher-level existence...

etc! Immortality!

Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered that if this mural was composed two thousand years ago, then this would have been the time when Xu Fulai was looking for the elixir of life for Qin Shihuang...

Is there any more top-notch elixir in the world than transforming into a dragon king?

Lu Mingfei felt that he had guessed the truth - there was a possibility in Japan for mixed-race species to transform into pure-blood dragons, and the White King had the most honorable status among them, second only to the Black King.

For some unknown reason, the First Emperor learned this secret and sent Xu Fu to Japan to search for it.

Xu Fu should have failed in the end, and until today, two thousand years later, King Bai has not reappeared, otherwise the world would have been in chaos.

And the biggest secret of the Sheqi family...perhaps they want the emperor to evolve into the white king, and then the whole family to become a pure-blood dragon!

Damn, we dug up a nuclear bomb now.

Lu Mingfei twitched his lips.

He was indeed very curious and concerned about the secrets of the Sheqi Ba family, but he didn't expect that he would dig out such an exciting thing in the end. If he had known it, he might as well not have come.

Fortunately, he came from a spiritual body, so no one would know that he had discovered this secret.

After taking back the Silver Sword, Lu Mingfei rushed out to find the head of the Uesugi family.

Now he also understands why the head of the Uesugi family can see him. From the content of the mural, it is not difficult to infer that a considerable number of mixed-race species in Japan should be descendants of the White King, and the "Emperor" is a super mixed-race species that has the opportunity to become the White King. , there must also be King Bai’s genes in his body.

Hakuo is the Dragon King who controls the "spiritual" element, so it immediately makes sense that the head of the Uesugi family, as the "Emperor", could see him.

…

When Lu Mingfei got into the house of the head of the Uesugi family, he heard the sound of rushing water.

It was obvious that she was taking a shower. Unlike yesterday when the Uesugi family owner did not shower because he was applying shower gel, this time the Uesugi family owner was obviously taking a shower, so Lu Mingfei heard the obvious sound of water as soon as he came in.

Again, it is normal for men to yearn for the beautiful bodies of the opposite sex, but it is really too obscene to use a spirit body to peek at people taking a bath, so Lu Mingfei did not go in and just floated in the room outside. , waiting for the head of the Uesugi family to come out.

wrong.

Lu Mingfei suddenly reacted - the head of the Uesugi family can see me. This can't be considered peeping. This is blatant viewing... It's still very indecent!

Ten minutes later, the head of the Uesugi family walked out of the bathroom while wiping his hair, with no hair on his body.

Lu Mingfei turned around quickly and thought to himself, girl, what's the matter with you? I've only met you three times, and you've given me benefits twice. Are you the kind of female character in Japanese comics who is responsible for giving benefits to the protagonist?

The head of the Uesugi family saw Lu Mingfei at a glance, his eyes brightened, and he ran to the table to pick up a notebook and pen, and then ran to Lu Mingfei, wanting to write something.

"Get dressed! Get dressed first!" Lu Mingfei covered his eyes.

At this time, the disadvantages of the spirit body are revealed. Even if you close your eyes or even cover your eyes, your vision will not be affected. Lu Mingfei is not sure about the principle. It may be because the eyelids and hands of the spirit body are transparent?

The head of the Uesugi family tilted his head, walked to the closet obediently, and put on his underwear and red and white miko uniform one by one.

Then she raised her notebook towards Lu Mingfei: "Where are we going to play tonight?"

"You can't go too far away, um... let me see, the farthest one should be near the Tokyo Sky Tree." Lu Mingfei pointed to the landmark building in the distance.

"Then let's go to Tokyo Sky Tree." Eriki held up the notebook.

"Uh... I shouldn't be able to reach the Tokyo Sky Tree," Lu Mingfei scratched his head. "We can only go to the edge. At most, we can take a closer look. We can't get in."

…

There are two spirits floating in the night sky.

Lu Mingfei looked at the Tokyo Sky Tree a few hundred meters away and shrugged at the head of the Uesugi family: "You see, if you can't go there, the connection between the soul and the body will be interrupted if you go further, and then we won't be able to go back."

The head of the Uesugi family nodded ignorantly: "Then I won't go."

So obedient. Although she has the same personality as a little girl, at least she is a well-behaved little girl.

While she was sighing secretly, Lu Mingfei saw her staring longingly at the Tokyo Sky Tree. That tall building was filled with countless light bulbs and stood brightly in the night sky, reminiscent of the Tower of Babel in the Bible. , people burned the bricks thoroughly on the ground and built a tower that reached the sky.

The dark rose-colored eyes of the head of the Uesugi family reflected the light, unblinking.

It's so pitiful that she can't even enter a landmark tourist building. The emperor of the Eight Sheqi Family looks like a little girl who has never seen the world.

That's right... If the Sheqi family is really pursuing the so-called making the emperor the white king, then after becoming the white king, will the emperor still be himself? Or is it that through the emperor's body, King Bai himself appears in the world?

If this is the case, it is really just a matter of putting the emperor under house arrest. When there is no chance for her to become the White King, use her as a weapon. When the time is right, sacrifice her to the gods. She is the most perfect sacrifice. .

Suddenly, looking at the girl looking at the Tokyo Sky Tree, Lu Mingfei's mind twitched and he said, "You can go."

Eriki looked at him hopefully.

Lu Mingfei wished he could slap himself in the face - you are such a slut, why are you going? After you go, if your spirit body loses contact with your body due to distance, you might become a modern version of an iron crutch!

"Ahem, although I can't go now, I can go in the future," Lu Mingfei added, "but in the future I will have a way to make the soul leave the body further, and then I can take you there."

Master Gu Yi... there should be a way, right? Lu Mingfei’s heart is not clear.

The head of the Uesugi family didn't notice Lu Mingfei's cake-making behavior at all. He just nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "I will wait for Mr. Ghost."

Immediately, she stretched out her hand towards Lu Mingfei: "Can I pull the hook?"

Lu Mingfei's thinking is a little divergent. I heard that the hook in Japan originated from the underworld and is called "jikiri". When the underworld makes a promise, they will hook each other's little fingers and swear an oath. Whoever breaks the oath in the future will have to cut off the little finger. Others The gang requires members of the Golden Pen Wash to also cut off their little fingers.

Thinking about the hook game played by children, and then thinking about the origin of this thing, Lu Mingfei had a weird feeling.

However, he still stretched out his hand to hook up with the head of the Shan family - he was a spirit body anyway and was immune to physical damage.
