I directed the mythical revival in Tokyo

Chapter 116: Leader of Akatsuki
"Minister Fujiwara, I am so grateful for your trust!"

Minister Miki and Minister Fujiwara sat opposite each other, with a shogi set on the table.

Minister Fujiwara shook his head, picked up a chess piece, moved it forward, and then spoke.

"In fact, you don't need to be so polite. I have heard that His Excellency the Priest, he is not a person who would do anything wrong."

"not to mention."

Minister Fujiwara withdrew his hand from the chess piece and then explained.

"Nowadays, extraordinary people are appearing frequently. The high-ranking officials have been paying attention to the mythical priests and monks for a long time. The high-ranking officials all know that they need to make friends with them in advance."

"In fact, many people have begun to privately contact the legendary Onmyoji family and provide them with investment without any bottom line, just betting that the other party's family will rise and have an additional ally to maintain their status in the new era. In addition, your request is just to consult ancient books."

At this point, Minister Fujiwara smiled slightly.

"To put it another way, this is your job, how can I not support you?"

"Many thanks!"

"Come on, continue playing chess!"

……

"Your Excellency the Priest, please follow me over here!"

A stone tablet beside an ornately decorated temple reveals the temple's name.

【The Lotus Sutra Temple of the Sin-Extermination】

What came into view was a vermilion gate, but it was tightly closed.

"I'm very sorry, Your Excellency the Priest, the main gate has been closed for the past few days. You can only enter and exit through the small gate on weekdays."

Hearing the gentle voice of the female monk in front of him, the priest shook his head slightly to show that he didn't care.

After all, this time we didn't come here for a visit, but to collect information about the Fujiwara family.

Yes, Fahua Temple is open to the public.

Originally, in the seventh century, Fahua Temple was ordered by Empress Guangming to become a Buddhist temple for women.

After several restorations during the Kamakura, Muromachi, and Edo periods, it has now reached a scale different from that of today.

To this day, Fahua Temple holds many Buddhist activities and celebrations every year to attract believers and tourists.

The relationship between Hokke-ji Temple and the Fujiwara family is even deeper. Hokke-ji Temple was originally given by the Emperor to Fujiwara Fuhito as his family residence.

After Fujiwara no Fuhito died, he passed it on to his daughter Fujiwara no Kōmyōko, who was also the original name of Empress Kōmyō.

The reason why Fahua Temple was able to promote its transformation so smoothly is also due to its legal inheritance status.

Therefore, due to historical reasons, Hokke-ji Temple still has a large number of ancient books belonging to the Fujiwara family.

The priest followed the female monk with light steps. When passing by the main temple, he couldn't help but look to the side, where he saw the emperor's unique chrysanthemum emblem clearly visible on the eaves.

As expected, the Fujiwara family has a close relationship with the Imperial family!

Crunch!

As the door of the library was opened, a smell of old books wafted into the air. The female monk clasped her hands together and bowed slightly to the priest, then turned and left.

……

The priest put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the ancient books of the Fujiwara family. His expression brightened and he kept running his hands across the yellowed pages of the book.

This is to avoid missing any information.

【Fujiwara no Nawa's mother was the daughter of Kurumi Kuniko-kun, Yoshiko-niang, and Kurumi Lady. 】

[Emperor Tianzhi gave the female concubine to Kamatari and said: "If the woman is pregnant, if she gives birth to a boy, he will be your son, if she gives birth to a girl, she will be my son." Later, a boy was born, which means they are not equal. 】

Suddenly, the priest saw the news in the two books, his face changed and he began to compare them.

"The car is late? Why don't you wait?!"

In addition, the priest quickly recalled that in ancient times, princes were named after their mother's surname.

If Fujiwara no Fuhito is the emperor's illegitimate son, then according to his mother's surname, Kurachi, everything fits in!
This is where Prince Chechi came from? ! !

It is true!!!

Then the priest decided to look through the genealogy of the Fujiwara family first. As the "shasha" sound gradually came, the priest nodded as he looked at the recorded text.

In the Fujiwara family tree, Fujiwara no Fuhito had four daughters besides his four well-known sons. The eldest daughter, Fujiwara no Miyako, was the wife of Emperor Mommu and the mother of Emperor Shomu. The second daughter, Fujiwara no Nagako, was the concubine of Prince Nagaya. The third daughter, Fujiwara no Kyouko, was Empress Komyou, who set a precedent in Japanese history for a minister to become an empress. The fourth daughter, Fujiwara no Tabinou, was the wife of Prince Tachibana no Morooyoshi of Katsuragi.

and many more?

Four daughters? Wasn't it five?

The priest's eyes widened and his scalp tingled. Why did he remember that the notes of the Queen of Light that he had read before recorded that there were five sisters?

Are there discrepancies between the members in the notebook and the family tree?
Thinking of this, the priest seemed to be crazy, and began to flip through the ancient books. Then he found an ancient book called the Notes of the Queen of Light.

I kept flipping through the pages, relying on my own impressions, and eventually found a subtle "whisper".

[My father has been busy with work lately and has never paid attention to us five sisters]

It turns out that there are five daughters...

Seeing this, the priest pinched his head with his fingers, and his thoughts began to churn wildly.

His intuition told him that he must have discovered the key point.

"Impossible. The family tree shows that there are only four daughters. Why is there five in the Queen of Light's notes?"

Huhu.

【All the descendants of Fujiwara may die! 】

Suddenly, a faint low sound came from outside the window.

The priest's confused mind was brought back to reality.

He stood up and walked towards the window and suddenly saw flames shooting up into the sky.

There were a lot of cries for help coming from outside the door.

"There's a fire! Help!"

"Contact the fire department immediately!"

--------

Salsa salsa.

The sound of shoes stepping on bamboo leaves continued to be heard, echoing in the bamboo forest.

"You did a great job this time, Shan Shang. I didn't expect to get the talisman back so smoothly!"

The masked man was walking in a bamboo forest, with Yamagami Tetsuya following closely behind him.

"where are we going?"

The masked man stopped.

The masked man's voice in Yamagami Tetsuya's ears was more serious than ever before.

"This time we are going to meet the leader of Akatsuki. You must be careful. That gentleman has a bad temper..."

Gudong.

Yamagami Tetsuya couldn't help swallowing his saliva to ease his excitement.

After being in contact with Akatsuki for so long, are we finally going to see its true face?

As the sound of footsteps continued to come from the bamboo forest, Yamagami Zhe was no longer sure where he was or how far he had walked.

All he knew was to keep following the masked man's footsteps.

As the two of them penetrated a thick fog.

What caught Tetsuya's eye on the mountain was a temple with simple decoration.

"Let's go!"

Yamagami Tetsuya stepped over the threshold of the Buddhist temple. The red and white statues on both sides were staring at him, which made him feel scared for some reason.

"How's the work done?"

A suppressed female voice came into Yamagami Tetsuya's ears.

This made him slightly stunned, and then he looked towards the front of the temple. A figure wearing a white hunting robe was sitting cross-legged on a cushion.

I saw long silver hair tangled on the ground.

The leader of Akatsuki is a woman?
