Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei returns from Sekiro

Chapter 225 Blackstone Mansion

Atami is a small coastal town located on the Izu Peninsula.

The famous "Izu Dancing Girl" was written by Kawabata Yasunari after his trip to Izu. This work has been put on the screen six times and has been sold in different translations around the world.

Kawabata Yasunari came to Izu to travel when he was 19 years old, and Lu Mingfei is also 19 years old this year. What a coincidence.

The helicopter flew over the sea, and Lu Mingfei looked down at the mansion on the high cliff, surrounded by high black walls. The white waves on Sagami Bay were beating against the cliff rocks. This high black cliff was like a rock sword cutting through the waves. A black general's residence was built on the tip, called the "Black Stone Mansion".

A few fallen cherry blossoms fell from the high wall along with the sea breeze and fell into the boundless sea.

The Kuroishi Official Residence is located in an extremely dangerous place. It is the commanding height of Atami, with high walls and sharp cliffs connected together. It overlooks Sagami Bay from the highest point.

The Izu Peninsula is 172 kilometers away from Tokyo. It takes two and a half hours by highway. If you take a helicopter, the time can be shortened to less than half an hour.

The night was getting darker, and Lu Mingfei was a little tired.

He hadn't slept for several days. He hadn't been able to sleep since the night when he and Chu Zihang Caesar went to Cowherd's shop. That night, he went to Genji Heavy Industries to abduct Eriki and then rode The motorcycle arrived at the safe haven in Gunma Prefecture. The next night, Eriki had a nightmare. He stayed by the bed and didn't sleep.

Today is late at night on the third day, and he has not slept for three days and two nights.

People will die if they don't sleep.

The brain is a tissue filled with cerebrospinal fluid. Although it only occupies 2% of the body's mass, its energy consumption is 20% to 25% of the body's. Cells obtain energy through aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. In this chemical reaction, At the same time, many impurities will be produced.

In other tissues of the human body, the circulating lymphatic system is responsible for solving the problem of cleaning up waste, but there are no lymphatic vessels in the brain. Only during sleep can cerebrospinal fluid efficiently remove impurities and waste from the brain.

If you don't sleep, impurities and waste will accumulate more and more.

Insufficient sleep is very harmful to the body. The most obvious manifestation is energy. You can't feel energetic about anything, you are drowsy, yawning, eyelids are fighting, and the efficiency of doing things and studying will also be reduced.

Lu Mingfei really wanted to have a good sleep. He was a little tired. Maybe it would be much better if he had a good sleep.

The Kuroishi Official Residence is now his property. I heard from Mai Shutoku that the residence has a quaint hot spring pool facing the sea. Every year in March and April, the cold cherry blossoms beside the pool will bloom. The residence was built by an Edo shogunate. It was built by the shogun whose gardener transplanted an old cherry blossom tree from the courtyard of Shuzenji Temple to this place.

Japanese people have the habit of using cherry blossoms to worship gods. Miko will use cherry blossom branches as a sacrifice. While singing and dancing, they will offer branches full of cherry blossoms in front of the gods. The symbolic trees of many shrines, temples and cemeteries are cherry trees. It is the sacred tree of Japan.

Lu Mingfei wondered if the speed at which the cherry blossoms were falling was five centimeters per second.

It has been three years since "5 Centimeters per Second" was released on March 3, 2007. Lu Mingfei feels that the days of hiding in Internet cafes and watching "5 Centimeters per Second" have become far away.

It was raining lightly outside, and he was sitting in the corner of the Internet cafe, wearing headphones and hugging a pillow. He was watching a movie with tears and snot flowing out of his nose. Because he couldn't bear to spend one yuan to buy a pack of paper, he ran to the toilet to pull some roll paper. .

At that time, he was only thinking about simple things, such as the fate of the world and the future of mankind. He did not dare to bring up these grand topics when bragging.

But now, he has to think about these issues seriously.

In Ashina, he had chosen to cut off the immortality. No, it is not accurate to say that. It was Kuro who chose to cut off the immortality. He was just a helper to help Kurang fulfill this wish.

To be honest, Lu Mingfei didn't know what he thought of Long Yin's power. Genichiro believed that Long Yin's power could save Ashina who was on the verge of destruction, but Jiulang believed that Long Yin was the source of all disasters.

Lu Mingfei went to kill the immortal just because Jiulang wanted to kill the immortal, but today he felt that he could understand Jiulang's mood a little bit.

When the babies are born, the eight Sheqi families will label them as to whether they will be kept in the family to be raised as offspring, or whether they will be sent to a boarding house in the mountains for observation.

When a child who is waiting to be fed is born, his future life is determined because of his so-called blood.

The family's imprisonment caused some of them to defect and become ghosts, while the rest stayed in the boarding house, facing the day of destruction in the high walls without hope.

People who pursue power use children to study Deadpool and conduct cruel and inhumane human experiments.

Lu Mingfei still remembered how the boy in New Jersey Harbor called those human-faced fish. Yes, the boy called the human-faced fish Deadpool his friend.

The crew members on the cargo ship were all dead and alive, except for one sailor who was missing. Later, the academy conducted a high-tech autopsy on Deadpool's body and discovered that the missing sailor's genes came from a distorted Deadpool.

Those Deadpools were once humans.

The human-faced fish, the faces on the fish are all their past faces.

Long Yin's power distorts the way people live. Mi Niang and Jiulang both said this, and Lu Mingfei finally understood it today.

Dragons also have existences like Constantine and Old Tang. Lu Mingfei didn't want to see anyone die like Sidney again, so he chose to ascend the throne and cut off this fate.

He gently touched the scabbard of Cedimaru. Kurang entrusted Cedimaru to himself, and perhaps also entrusted himself with the mission of cutting off Longyin, so he returned to the place where he started that afternoon.

Lu Mingfei's eyes gradually became firmer. Since he has chosen this path, he will follow it to the end. He will cut off everything that stands in the way of becoming a king without hesitation!

Hiroshi Kimura is the housekeeper of this mansion, an old man over fifty years old. He has been working at the Blackstone Mansion for 30 years. In the past 30 years, this luxurious mansion has had several owners, but there has never been one like the current one. The master is so indifferent to the mansion.

The previous owner of the Blackstone Mansion was a well-known director. Every weekend, the director would bring actors and friends here to hold parties, with champagne, fireworks, evening gowns, and helicopters carrying VIPs to the mansion to enjoy a luxurious holiday life. .

But within a few years, the director was running out of money. The Blackstone Mansion is a cultural relic recognized by the government. Although it is a private villa, the owner is obliged to repair and maintain the mansion. The stone used for repairs must come from the mountains of Kobe, and the wood must come from distant Hokkaido. , the carving must be done by craftsmen who are proficient in traditional Japanese handicrafts to maintain the original flavor.

The annual maintenance fee is one-tenth of the house price. The high cost forced the previous owner to sell the Blackstone Mansion.

However, interested buyers gave up after learning about the maintenance costs. In this day and age, no one would buy a luxurious house that is only used for hot springs, not to mention having to pay a large amount of alimony. , this is too luxurious.

The director could only try his luck by listing the mansion on eBay, but who knew that 15 minutes later, a deposit of 750 million yen would be credited to the director's account.

The buyer was the current owner of the mansion. Fifteen days later, the owner bought the Blackstone Mansion with a full check from Switzerland.

But so far, Kimura Hiroshi has not seen his master.

Nine years have passed since that transaction. For nine years, the only people living in this quaint luxury villa were the old housekeeper and some servants responsible for cleaning, and they were served by two Siamese cats. The villa has turned into a large cattery. All they have to do is prepare food for the cats every day and shovel poop.

Hiroshi Kimura changed from a top butler to a shit shoveler.

He learned all kinds of cat-related knowledge from scratch, such as how to match the cat's diet. The lecithin pills on the market that claim to make the cat's hair shiny are actually not as effective as the yolk of a hard-boiled egg. Every week Cats can supplement enough egg lecithin by eating one egg yolk.

Hiroshi Kimura will boil an onsen egg on Monday nights and serve the yolk to his cat owners before they go to bed.

He would put water in the hot spring every day, but day after day, he could not wait for anyone to come to the hot spring.

When he was young, he was a handsome butler in a suit, hosting every party for the previous owner. Celebrities and stars from all walks of life praised his service. Now that he is getting older and approaching retirement, he has changed his job to become a... The manager of cats.

He doesn't need to hold a party or receive big shots. All he has to do is feed the cat and shovel poop every day. He doesn't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

But it will all end today!

He received a call half an hour ago. The master was coming to the Blackstone Mansion to stay for a while.

He immediately put on a black suit and led his maid to stand in front of the mansion to greet him.

The helicopter stopped in front of the gate of Blackstone Mansion. The wind bent the branches, and with a huge wind noise, the owner of Blackstone Mansion was back!

A beautiful woman in black tights jumped out of the plane. She was wearing sunglasses and had a hot figure. Even Hiroshi Kimura, an old butler who had seen all Japanese female stars, couldn't help but exclaim. When she took off her sunglasses, she looked even more... It's heart-wrenching.

Kimura Hiroshi has never seen such a woman. Her temperament is completely different from other women, solemn and charming.

Kimura Hiroshi straightened his back. He felt that this was the master he had been waiting for for many years.

But the beauty did not walk towards the queue in front of the mansion to welcome guests. She took a step back, as if she was giving up her seat to a more distinguished adult.

A boy got off the helicopter, followed closely by a red-haired girl. The boy caught the girl under the plane, held the girl's arm, and picked her up.

The beautiful woman in tight clothes saluted the boy. He is the most noble person here!

"Steward Hiroshi Kimura of Blackstone Mansion! Welcome!" Hiroshi Kimura stood at the front of the team and introduced himself loudly.

"Hello, I'm Lu Mingfei. I'm sorry to ask you to take care of me these days." Lu Mingfei shook hands with him friendly and said with a smile.

He doesn't have the airs of a big shot, but is as friendly as a neighbor's son.

Kimura Hiroshi never thought that the master of Shenlong Bu Mian Kamui would be so young. His extremely high quality allowed him to behave appropriately. He led the team to bow with great momentum.

Lu Mingfei scratched his head for a moment, as if he had never seen this scene before: "I'll call you Mr. Kimura. You can call me Lu Mingfei. You're welcome. Mr. Kimura, is there a hot spring in the mansion? I want to take a bath." Hot springs."

Kimura Hiroshi did not dare to slack off at all, "Let me call you Mr. Lu. Of course there are hot springs. Mr. Lu, we will release water for the hot springs every day. No matter when you come, you can soak in the hot springs with the right temperature. I will Take you there."

Kimura Hiroshi led the way, and the servants opened the door.

The bluestone floor is paved in the corridor, and there are historical stone carvings and ancient decorations everywhere, making you feel like you have stepped into ancient times.

Lu Mingfei followed Kimura Hiroshi into the mansion. Suddenly, there was a sound of cat meowing, which made people's hearts itch. Two plump Siamese cats jumped down from the red painted wooden railings with cat steps. He walked to Lu Mingfei's feet and rubbed his ankles affectionately.

Lu Mingfei stopped and leaned down to stroke the heads of the two cats.

Eriki also squatted down and scratched the cat's soft belly.

Kimura Hiroshi has been feeding them for 9 years, but they have never looked so close to each other. They all turned against each other after eating the cat food. Sure enough, the owner is different from the cat owner.

"What are their names?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"My sister's name is Kotori Yu, and my brother's name is Tashou." Kimura Hiroshi said.

Xiaoniao You and Tou Shou are not purebred Siamese cats. They are too fat. Purebred Siamese cats are skinny and skinny, but these two are like big balls of fur. They are cute, round and fleshy. They are selling No one wants it when going out, but it feels good when rubbed and can be used as a pillow in winter.

"Little Bird You and Tu Shou?" Lu Mingfei picked up his sister, grabbed its paw, and gently squeezed the soft flesh ball.

Eriki knelt down and carefully grabbed her brother's tail.

Lu Mingfei felt like he had seen them somewhere. He had wanted to raise a cat since he was a child, but he had never had the chance.

Once when he was returning home from elementary school, there was a heavy rain. He saw a cardboard box on the roadside with two young cats in it. At that time, he put the umbrella in his schoolbag at the mouth of the cardboard box to protect him from the rain and got wet. When Yu returned home, his parents didn't let him keep the cat. Later, he went back to see that the cardboard box was no longer there.

Lu Mingfei scratched Xiaoniaoyou's belly, wondering if it was those two.

After petting the cat for a while, he put the cat down, and Kimura Hiroshi continued to lead them towards the hot spring.

We passed through a cherry blossom forest on the way, but the cat stopped following me here. The ancestors of cats come from the desert of Egypt. They naturally hate water and will struggle and scream when they fall into the water.

"This is it." Kimura Hao noticed that Lu Mingfei had a saber on his waist, "Mr. Lu, do you need to keep your saber for you?"

"Keep it? No need." Lu Mingfei shook his head and brushed the handle of Qianwan's knife. "It is my partner. I will take it with me wherever I go. Just let it soak in the hot spring with me."

When he said this, his eyes were lowered, as if he was recalling something.

Kimura Hiroshi seemed to see the young general holding the sword in front of him. Thousands of troops were about to capture the city. The general just sat in front of the formation and gently stroked the blade of the sword.

But he shook his head again. It was the 21st century. How could there be generals who had experienced hundreds of battles?

Besides, Lu Mingfei is so young and looks like he is only 18 or 19 years old. If Kimura Hiroshi had a grandson, he would be about this age. A boy of this age would only become a general at a comic exhibition.

Although the Kuroishi Residence is a shogun's residence, it was already in the middle of the Edo Shogunate period. Now, it is just a luxury villa for vacation. Its history has only increased its value, and as a cultural relic, it has high maintenance fees. The owner is a rich man, not a general.

But Hiroshi Kimura still lowered his head slightly. There was no other reason. He just felt that he should lower his head at this time.
