Rebirth without Regrets

Chapter 252 Abe Family (1)

Mount Fuji in the suburbs of Tokyo is known as Japan's holy mountain. The top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round and is one of Japan's famous tourist attractions. At the northern foot of Mount Fuji are the Fuji Five Lakes, and Oshino Village in the southeast of the lake has Wagyu Pond, Mirror Pond, etc.

The eight ponds, collectively known as the "Oshino Hakkai", are connected to Yamanaka Lake. The reflection of Mount Fuji reflected in Lake Kawaguchi is known as one of the wonders of Mount Fuji.

Mount Fuji is crowded with tourists, and Lake Kawaguchi is like a crystal blue mirror inlaid on Fuji, making it unforgettable to watch.

At the southwest foot of Mount Fuji are the famous Shiro Falls and Otonzhi Falls. The Shiro Falls have a height of 26 meters and are divided into more than ten thin streams from the rock wall. They look like countless white water falling from the sky, forming a rain curtain more than 130 meters wide, which is quite impressive.

Spectacular. The Yinzhi Waterfall is like a giant pillar crashing down from a high place. The sound is like thunder, shaking the heaven and the earth.

There is a quiet valley next to the waterfall. It is very secluded and few people come here. Even if a tourist accidentally strays from the main scenic area and walks here, he will see a sign saying: Private Residence, No Entry for Non-Travelers. It is more than three meters high.

A fence separates the valley, and a huge iron gate closes the scenery in the valley. Even if the tourists who are unwilling to come here have no choice but to go back in dismay. If they want to sneak in secretly, they will soon be

The burly man came forward to drive him out and gave him a stern warning. Then he broke into a private residence and called the police.

You must know that Japan's laws are very strict. When you go out to play, it is just for fun, and no one wants to get involved in a lawsuit. However, many people are indignant that such a good location has been turned into a private residence.

At this time, everyone was speculating as to which high-ranking official or rich man could actually own such a large private residence here, which was really enviable to others.

Only a few people in Japan know that this is the seat of the Abe family that has been in Japan for thousands of years. It was also a blessed place given by the emperor. Otherwise, no matter how rich and powerful it is, it would be impossible to own it on the holy mountain.

Such a big piece of land.

It's said to be a mansion, but actually it's like entering an exquisite manor, with dense vegetation, winding paths, endless chirping of birds, rows of painted buildings and flying clouds. It's magnificent and majestic. It's really an elegant place.

It is said that the Abe family is descended from the Empress of Japan, originating from Ohiko Mikoto, the prince of Emperor Xiaoyuan. The most famous figure for more than a thousand years is undoubtedly Abe Seimei, the master of Onmyodo. He has the ability to control ghosts, gods and spirits. Even today, he is still popular with everyone.

He is so talked about that many film and television works have brought his legendary life to the screen.

Since Abe Seimei, the Abe family has been a famous Onmyoji family in Japan. They perform divination, exorcise ghosts, perform sacrifices, and even use the power of shikigami to help the family eliminate dissidents. They have played extremely important roles in various periods of Japan.

However, with the development of the times, the advancement of science, and the decline of imperial power, for more than a thousand years, the Abe family has been defeated and no longer has its former glory. Although it still has a certain influence in Japan, it has far

It's better to get over it.

In order to survive, some children of the Abe family even became "thugs" for various underground forces in Japan. This reminded them of the supreme splendor and glory of the Abe family during the reign of Holy Lord Abe Seimei. While remembering it, they couldn't help but sigh.

.

Fortunately, this manor on Mount Fuji that has been passed down for thousands of years has always been the home of the Abe family. Although the various expenses are high, the already overwhelmed Abe family has wanted to sell it more than once, but in the end it was still retained. As Abe

The last witness to the family's glory.

At noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the entire Abe family was shrouded in the bright sunshine, making it feel warm. However, there seemed to be a strange emotion permeating the villa, which made people feel depressed.

"Bang!" A loud bang came from the main hall of the villa, mixed with a thunderous roar: "I must kill this person..."

The speaker is an old man in his sixties, tall and tall, with a calm demeanor, a very delicate and handsome appearance, a bright and kind look in his eyes, and a strong scholarly aura all over his body. Look.

Although he looks old now, he must have been a handsome and handsome man when he was young.

This old man is none other than Shintaro Abe, the head of the Abe family. At this moment, he is like a statue that has existed since ancient times. He stares at the people in front of him motionlessly, his eyes are so fierce that they are almost ferocious.

The image of elegance is completely destroyed.

There were many people in the hall, including burly men in black, men and women in servant uniforms, and children of the Abe family... But none of them dared to look at Shintaro Abe at the moment. Everyone was silent and pale.

, as if the end is coming.

Shintaro Abe picked up a photo frame on the table with trembling hands. The photo showed a man about thirty years old, who looked very handsome and handsome, with a smile as bright as the sun on his face.

"Fujiwara, my son, why are you dead..." He stretched out his fingers and gently stroked the smiling face of the man in the photo. The hard contours of Shintaro Abe's face instantly became tender, and a moment later his eyes were filled with tears.

Men don't shed tears easily, but they haven't reached the point of sadness. At this moment, Shintaro Abe is no longer the master of yin and yang with unpredictable abilities, but just a heartbroken father who lost his beloved son.

"Pass my order..." Shintaro Abe, who had been grieving for a long time and bursting into tears, spoke with a weak but decisive voice: "Reorganize the team. At midnight today, I will personally lead the team to avenge Fujiwara..."

Before he finished speaking, at this moment, the closed door of the hall suddenly opened, and an old man strolled in.

Shintaro Abe's expression changed when he saw this man. This old man has always been with his father and never left his father. Why is he here today? Is there something important? He looked dazed and thoughtful, but he still

He quickly stood up and went to greet him. The old man had watched him grow up, and he had always regarded him as an elder. Even though he was now the head of the family, he did not dare to be disrespectful to him.

The old man didn't do anything else. He just walked up to him and whispered a few words to him. Shintaro Abe's expression changed and he waved: "You all can get out!"

After everyone breathed a sigh of relief and retreated, Shintaro Abe followed the old man to the back mountain. As he walked, he couldn't help but asked suspiciously: "Uncle Kihara, do you know why my father summoned me?"

He couldn't help but be suspicious. Since his father passed the title of head of the family to him ten years ago, he no longer interfered with the affairs of the family. He always went to the back mountain to pay respects to him every week. He took the initiative to summon him like today.

That was the first time ever.

However, the old man just looked at him kindly and said nothing. This made Shintaro Abe very disappointed, but he also knew that if Uncle Kihara didn't say it, either he didn't know at all, or he couldn't say it, even if he was

Putting a knife to his neck didn't help.

The back mountain is a forbidden area for the Abe family, and it is also the place where Shintaro Abe's father hid in cultivation. Except for the head of the family, no one else is allowed to enter without permission.

Walking across a bluestone arch bridge, you will see a thatched thatched hall standing erect deep in the green mountains and waters. The name of the hall is "Tianzhi". It is said that it was the place where Abe Seimei retreated. Even the name was given by him. What does it mean?

Others don't know. But everyone believes that by practicing here, you can get the guidance and blessing of Abe Seimei, thereby gaining extraordinary power. Therefore, for hundreds of years, this place has become the place where the family practices cultivation.

Place.

In the garden around Tianzhitang, there are centuries-old locust trees whistling in soft bamboo, the walls are stained with red maples, and green vines are growing everywhere. Looking up, you can see the green vines high in the sky, tangled and dense, blocking the brilliant sunshine.

Outside, the zigzag-shaped small round leaves on the vines are stacked one after another, either vertically or obliquely, straight or curled, in various shapes. In the middle, you can see a few maple leaves as red as fire, with a wisp of golden light filtering through the air.

I also added a golden edge to these branches and leaves, which is very beautiful.

A clear spring flows around the east wall. The morning mist rises like a veil, making the place feel like a fairyland, making people feel relaxed and happy. Wherever the breeze blows, you can see lush green trees and exotic flowers and plants.

Competingly beautiful, ivy-wrapped trees, strange rocks, winding paths, and the sound of birds singing faintly penetrate into the thatched cottage through the large lattice windows on all sides, as if people are integrated into the infinite natural scenery.

The entire hall is furnished with extremely rare gilt wood furniture, famous paintings are hung on the walls, and four octagonal palace lanterns are hung on the beams. The hall is rich and elegant without losing the aura of elegance. In the small and exquisite incense burner on the table in the middle, there is a faint ray of fragrance.

Green smoke curled up, filling the room with an elegant and profound atmosphere.

The old man brought Shintaro Abe to the attic, stopped walking, turned around and waited outside the thatched cottage, motionless.

Shintaro Abe also knew Uncle Kihara's habits, so he went straight forward, gently pushed open the door made of fine sandalwood, and walked in respectfully. As soon as he entered the pavilion, a refreshing fragrance rushed in.

He couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling light and healthy, and feeling comfortable all over.

I only saw an old man sitting peacefully on a wooden couch, wearing a very old-fashioned robe with gray fabric that looked as old as him.

The old man's stature should have been very tall, but now he has shrunk like a shrimp, and his white hair has almost fallen out. The wrinkles on his face are like the bark of ancient pine trees that have survived for hundreds of years, and the peeling mulberry trees are like

It was carved on the face, deep and haggard, and the sallow complexion had a very gloomy smell, like the face of a dead person.

This is an old man who seems to be on his deathbed. He is as old as flowers and leaves in the bleak autumn wind. He may pass away at any time. But no matter who sees this old man, he can't help but have a very strange feeling, as if

It's like suddenly seeing a legendary long-extinct monster. Even if you know that it can't hurt anyone, it still makes people feel an indescribable mystery and monster.
