Rebirth of Devouring Dragon Emperor

Chapter 638 Abe Riyoshi's Problem
What Abe Ryoichiro said loudly was the truth, but no Onmyoji responded.

There is no other reason, it's just that over thousands of years, there have been too many similar debates within Onmyoji, so many that everyone has become accustomed to it and has defaulted to a certain answer, and no one is willing to deviate from this answer.

The Yin-Yang masters all looked at the boy with sneers, patiently preparing to laugh at his joke.

Abe Chishou said solemnly: "Our ancestors left us a legacy that our lineage must return to China as kings. Don't you remember that?"

The hall began to quiet down again, and everyone could hear from the leader's tone that he was still trying to protect his grandson.

This guy Abe Riyoshi has a really weird personality. He is somewhat timid when facing many Onmyojis, but when facing his grandfather, he is very confident and righteous.

He said loudly: "In order to create a large-scale new technique, our ancestors used the shikigami as a model and experimented with the new technique on animals and mortals. As a result, the animals rebelled and became wild gods, and the mortals also rebelled and became the ancestors of the ninja lineage."

"It can be seen that with the ability of our lineage, there is no chance to surpass the ancient Chinese alchemists. Now, everyone, if we Yin Yang Masters do not make changes, how can we return to China as kings?"

"Because of the competition of foundation, we can't compete with China at all now!"

After these words were spoken, even Chitose Abe, who was recognized as a man of great wisdom, was speechless for a moment.

The Onmyojis in the hall couldn't help it and started to argue fiercely about this issue, because no matter what, Abe Riyoshi's statement seemed to be correct!

The atmosphere was quietly changing, and the topic of this public trial seemed to be heading towards the future of the Onmyoji lineage.

"Everyone please be quiet!"

At this time, Hatsune Miko looked indignant. She had no intention of forgiving Abe Riyoshi, who had ignored her in the past.

He said loudly: "I can testify! What Abe Riro taught the shikigami Hanako Orika was not to go to China to steal ancient magic for us, but to let Hanako Orika become a real Chinese creature, and the kind that will be born in China for generations!"

"So I'm sure that Abe Riyoshi's heart has completely turned away from this land. He even betrayed us Onmyoji before the shikigami Hanako Orika!"

Her voice was very loud, and even contained some magical power, making it sound like a lion's roar.

All the Onmyojis heard it clearly.

You should know that the punishments among Onmyoji against each other are very light. Even when the Emperor's family betrayed and broke away, they did not suffer serious revenge from the Onmyoji.

Of course, if what Hatsune Miku said was true, Abe Riyoshi's betrayal this time would be very serious, and the punishment he would receive would certainly not be light.

Almost instantly, four ancient shikigami teleported over, pinned Abe Ryorozu firmly to the chair, and completely controlled him.

A solemn and murderous atmosphere quietly rose in the hall.

Abe Chitose's eyes were as sharp as a sword, and anyone who stabbed them would feel extremely painful.

He asked solemnly: "Abe Riyoshi, think about it before you answer. Is what the Hatsune Miko said true?"

If this charge is really proven, the best outcome for Abe Riyoshi would be to have his Onmyoji skills wasted, and to live the rest of his life as a mortal!

There was a smug smile on the innocent face of Hatsune Miko. In the Tadoi room of Kanagawa, there was a sacred artifact called the "lie detector jade". That thing was originally a rare item among the Japanese people and was collected by Onmyoji. It was most capable of detecting whether a person was lying.

Anyway, she is certain that Abe Riyoshi will not be able to pass this test!

In the middle of the hall, Abe Riyoshi's mouth moved, and everyone's eyes quickly turned to the inconspicuous half-jade and half-stone object near him. Whenever someone lies in this Kanagawa Tadashi, it will temporarily turn into the color of jade - so Onmyoji never lie in this place, because it would only bring humiliation upon themselves.

But when the Onmyojis went outside, they all started telling lies, and this habit was directly related to the "lie detector jade".

Why is it that every time someone tells a lie, the magical artifact turns into a beautiful jade?

Why is it just an inconspicuous stone when no one else tells lies?

Therefore, the Onmyoji firmly believed that lying in the vast world outside was a necessary virtue for a superior, unless that person considered himself to be born lowly.

In Japan, due to the influence of Onmyoji, anyone who can read and consider themselves to have a decent social status has already integrated lying into the blood of this nation.

Thousands of years have passed, and Japan has actually become completely untrustworthy. The only place where it can still maintain some credibility is right here in the Kanagawa River, in front of the "lie detector jade".

Abe Ryosuke's mouth moved a few times but no sound came out.

This immediately caused a lot of complaints.

The Onmyojis are all waiting eagerly.

Soon, Abe Riyoshi organized his words and said slowly: "Part of what Hatsune Miko said is true. I did ask Hanako Orika to go to China and never come back, but my heart is still in Japan and I will not leave."

The Onmyojis were confused when they heard these contradictory words.

What kind of fucking logic is this?

So you, kid, instigated your shikigami to betray Japan, and you yourself are still a loyal minister, right?

An onmyoji with a hot temper immediately shouted: "Liliang boy, stop talking nonsense! If you really feel such a weird thing, you must be schizophrenic and have multiple personalities!"

Apart from this, there seems to be no other explanation.

At this time, another Yin Yang Master whispered: "Well, the lie detector jade has not changed. What he said is true."

Indeed, the lie detector jade did not change at all and still looked like a shiny stone.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became weird, and the Onmyojis looked at the young Abe Riyoshi with expressions of pity.

Because the profession of Onmyoji, although originated from the ancient Chinese alchemists, it only inherited the spiritual practice of the alchemists.

Now, if such a young Onmyoji had mental problems, it would be more serious than any trouble.

It is very likely that he will not be able to go far in the future and will never be able to make any progress in his life;

Maybe one day his head will explode with a bang. There are precedents for this in history.

It is also possible that Abe Riyoshi will suddenly go crazy and kill his wife and children one day in the future. There are precedents for this in history.
In a nutshell, the schizophrenic Abe Ryoji will definitely not have a good ending in the future.

The Onmyoji leader Abe Chitose did not speak, but the expression on his face seemed to have aged a little, looking like a lonely old beast.
