He was very sure that he could not be anyone's reincarnation - he could accept the idea of ​​reincarnation because he was a traveler through time.

He also had a past life.

Because of this, he clearly remembered that in his previous life, he was a top student from a prestigious university who worked and studied hard, and he studied a tough major like communications engineering. After graduation, he was able to handle hardware and software, and was recruited by a large company through campus recruitment.

These past events are still vivid in my mind, as if they happened yesterday. They cannot be false.

So he wanted a name.

Who knew that Shuten-doji's face suddenly became confused, and a hint of pain also appeared on his face.

"name."

"Yes, his name, I should remember it."

"But why can't I tell it?"

"."

"Could someone have tampered with my memory?! Impossible, there is no way I could have forgotten that person!"

"No one will forget him! Such a strong man!"

For some reason, Shuten-doji's face suddenly became ferocious. He was breathing heavily and covering his head, like a drunkard.

The hoarse voice of the Ghost King echoed in the empty mirage tower, highlighting a somewhat eerie atmosphere.

"I won't forget, I won't forget!"

"Qikakuyama will never forget him, Kuroyehyama will never forget him, Arakawa will never forget him, and we at Oeyama will definitely not forget him!"

"That was the Lord of the Hundred Demons who led the Night Parade of the Hundred Demons, subdued Mount Suzuka, and single-handedly slashed the Plain of Demons with his sword!"

"who is he?!"

Why is this person asking himself?

Uesugi Kiyoshi suddenly became suspicious, as he saw that Shuten-doji didn't seem to be pretending to be crazy or stupid.

If he didn't want to say it, he could have just shut up from the beginning and painted it on the wall like a mural. There was no need to do this.

This is more like his true feelings.

That kind of suppressed pain cannot be faked.

That's strange. According to Shuten-doji, the capital for his livelihood, this Hundred Demons Picture Scroll, its first owner seemed to be a famous figure in the Heian period who could convince the King of Ghosts.

But his name was forgotten by Shuten-doji.

The memory of ghosts and gods is not that bad, there must be some hidden story.

Could it be that the body I traveled through was once the reincarnation of some great man?

That doesn't make sense. How could such a great man die at the hands of a tiny ghost, giving him the opportunity to take advantage of him?

For a moment, Uesugi Kiyoshi's heart was filled with doubts and thoughts - it would be better if he had not heard of these things, at least he would have peace of mind.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt someone touching his dream mirror.

It felt strange, like someone knocking on the door when you were home.

There is a supernatural being knocking on the door, wanting to visit Uesugi Kiyoshi's dream mirror. This is not difficult to do. At least Akutagawa Ryunosuke once taught Uesugi Kiyoshi "how to visit other people's dream mirrors."

As long as both parties reach a consensus, when they met for the first time, Uesugi Kiyoshi was invited by Akutagawa Ryunosuke into the dream mirror and talked for a long time.

"Someone is coming. At this time?"

Uesugi Qing's mind moved, and his eyes penetrated the void and observed the appearance of the person who touched his dream mirror.

".It turned out to be him?"

He frowned and decided to entertain the guest. He looked at Shuten and said loudly, "If you are drunk, you'd better stay behind the wall."

Uesugi Kiyoshi's attitude was not good. He held a grudge. Even though he knew that all the mortals used for sacrifice were the work of Dong Wenyu, the blood debt of the Yokota family must still be attributed to Shuten Douji.

He and the Ghost King have never been friends.

It's just that he has no way to deal with Shuten Douji now. As for how to deal with this ghost king, he will decide after he has thoroughly studied the Hundred Demons Scroll. There is no need to rush.

When Shuten-doji heard his words, his expression suddenly became serious.

"Uesugi Kiyoshi, I'm telling you, listen carefully."

"I don't remember his name, but I know he was one of the Three Great Masters of the Genji clan, a swordsman who became famous in Edo."

"If you are interested, go find it yourself."

"If you find his name, please let me know. People like him should not be forgotten."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Ghost King stood up, turned into a red light, flew into the wall, and turned into a lifelike portrait again.

However, the current portrait of Shuten has a more sad look on his face.

"The Three Great Men of Genji, Heian Period?"

"Could it be related to the battle of sealing the ghosts and gods?"

"Damn it, half of the people who say this are the most annoying."

Although he thought so, Uesugi Kiyoshi still shook his head helplessly, temporarily suppressing the doubts in his heart and preparing to ask his friends.

Now, let's go and greet the guests.

He waved his hand casually, and the door of the mirage opened, revealing the solemn scenery of Hyakki-cho.

He walked out leisurely, and not long after, a figure came towards him on the long street.

That was the "guest" let in by Uesugi Kiyoshi, a heroic figure whom he had never met but was well-known to him.

The two stood several meters apart on the commercial street of Hyakki-cho. There were too many secrets in the mirage, and Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't want to invite anyone in.

He spoke first.

"As expected, you are not dead. What a good plan! You are worthy of being the leader of Dongwen who is good at making alliances. You used me and the Collectibles Association to kill your own brother. What a ruthless method!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi had a blank expression on his face and his words were not very polite.

The man was wearing a black kimono and had a wild beard. He did not look old, but his spirit and energy seemed a little worn out.

Uesugi Kiyoshi had seen this face before.

In dreams, extraordinary people will maintain their original appearance, and this face cannot be faked.

Dongwen Snake, Dongwen Jue.

Dong Wenjue smiled softly, not minding Uesugi Kiyoshi's questioning, shook his head, and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Nice to meet you, Uesugi-kun. I often hear your name from Xiuchuan."

"You are wrong about one thing. I am indeed no longer in this world. The one who is talking to you here is just a remnant of my soul."

"I am linked to the heroic spirit of Saito Dosan, the Mino Viper. I have played the role of a snake for my entire life, so naturally I can get some benefits."

"One of the abilities of the Viper is that it allows my soul to remain in this world for a short period of time after my death. So, I sealed a part of my soul in the Buwu Seal, and I plan to use this as a last resort to protect Maki."

"I saw the fight tonight. I'm glad that I didn't have to use my backup plan. Thanks to this, I can come and talk to you."

To be honest, Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't quite believe these words.

It is difficult for those who believe Dong Wenjue's words to have a good ending.

He shook his head indifferently and said in a cold voice: "When a person dies, he should go to where the dead should go. I heard that there is an underworld and hell in this world. That is where you should go."

"If you linger around and don't become a Buddha, you will only cause trouble to others."

He didn't have a good impression of Dong Wenjue, but he didn't hate him either. After all, he was a good friend of his master and had saved A Lin's life. Although he was very unhappy that he was plotting against him, he would not draw his sword against him right away.

However, if you ask him to treat Dong Wenjue like an elder, that would be too much to ask.

The smile on Dong Wenjue's face remained unchanged. He took a step forward and his tone became more sincere.

"I'd better forget about becoming a Buddha. People like me should go to hell."

"However, before that, I need to discuss something with Uesugi-kun. I'll make it short and save some time to say goodbye to Maki."

"."

"Uesugi-kun, do you want to take over the Touwen Society?"

Hearing this sudden and straightforward question, Uesugi Qing raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes slightly, and tried to guess what Dong Wenjue was thinking.

"Maki promised me that if I helped him kill Dong Wenyu, he would give me half of the Dongwen Association. President Dongwen, are you going to go back on your word?"

His thoughts were turning in his mind and his mouth was not stopping as he asked this question in a tit-for-tat manner.

Dong Wenjue seemed to have expected him to say that and shook his head repeatedly.

"No, Uesugi-kun, you misunderstood."

"I mean, all the Dongwen Clubs."

"I am willing to die at the hands of Ayu for three reasons."

"First of all, I need an opportunity to cut off the stubborn disease of Dongwenhui. Dongwenhui used to accept all those shameful businesses that broke the government's bottom line, but now we can't be so unrestrained."

"The government's close watch is one reason, but the biggest reason is that the environment where sin and desire are intertwined is too prone to breed believers of ghosts and gods. I have been busy with such things more than once. It is not uncommon for people under us to be bewitched and parasitized by ghosts and gods, or even possessed by ghosts and gods. Ayu even moved the statue of the ghost king to the headquarters. This is the best example."

"Then, I want Maki to look clearly into her own heart - I will eventually die, and it will not be a good death. Even if I don't die at the hands of Ayu, I will die at the hands of an enemy. I have long seen through this."

"Maki will have to face this situation sooner or later, so I want her to make her own choice whether to leave or stay."

"Finally, this is the test I gave you, Uesugi-kun. You scored 150 points out of 100. I am very satisfied."

Dong Wenjue's eyes became softer when he looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi.

"Uesugi-kun, do you want to become the master of the Dongwen Society? This will allow you to rise to the top in one step and save you decades of hard work."

"As a price, you only need..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Uesugi Kiyoshi.

"Sorry, thank you for your kindness, but I refuse."

Dong Wenjue was a little stunned. He frowned and said, "Don't you even listen to what I said?"

Uesugi Qing shook his head indifferently and sighed, "I'm not being sentimental. Your next words are probably the same."

"Marry Maki, change the name of your child to Dongwen, promise to stay with Maki, and then you can inherit your huge inheritance."
