Chapter 93: Eight Great Masters
Xingshen Temple is hidden in a corner of the building and is not easily visible from the ground or the sky. Only by opening the sliding door can one step into this cave.
Sakura opened a hidden sliding door, and the sunlight filtered in. There was actually a spacious terrace on this floor, a small vermilion "torii", and various ghosts and gods in Shintoism were carved on the granite walls.
From the solemn Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi to the mighty Susano'o, there are also ferocious demons, some with lion-like faces and fangs exposed, and some sitting cross-legged on piles of skeletons, surrounded by wind and clouds.
These gods and demons are like a hundred ghosts walking at night. There is actually a clear spring on the terrace. The spring is surrounded by a dry landscape composed of white rocks and green grass, giving it a leisurely Zen feel.
Sakura held up a copper basin filled with water. Mo Qianye washed his hands and rinsed his mouth based on the so-called "hand water ritual" he found on the Internet when visiting a shrine in Japan.
The black and white stone table formed a circular Tai Chi pattern, and the six people waiting at the table all stood up and bowed.
"Qianye-kun has already met Mr. Yuan Zhisheng, the head of the Yuan family..." Ying introduced them one by one.
"The head of the Ryoma family, Mr. Genichiro Ryoma, is the current head of the Japanese branch."
The head of the Ryoma family is neither slender nor sinister. He looks like a man going through a mid-life crisis. He wears a meticulous suit and his hair is carefully combed, but he has no energy. It seems that "" is written all over his face.
I work overtime and am under great pressure. My boss is very aggressive towards me. I didn’t expect my promotion. My wife is having sex with others and my daughter is in love early. Why don’t I just die?"
"The head of the Inuyama family, Mr. Inuyamaga. Mr. Inuyamaga is the first branch director and an old friend of Principal Angers."
The gray-haired head of the Inuyama family looked very kind, with a smile as bright as the sun. He scratched his head and laughed and said: "Oh my, my, because I can't kill Angers, I have to be friends with him. What a pity!"
"
"The head of the Sakurai family, Ms. Nanami Sakurai, also serves as the inspector of the Japan branch."
The head of the Sakurai family is actually a stunning young woman. Although she dresses deliberately conservatively, the suit skirt cannot cover her fiery curves. The pair of dark red thick-framed glasses are worn on her face, and her bare makeup looks like she is in full bloom.
More colors like makeup.
I just don’t know what the relationship between her and Sakurai Kogure is.
"The head of the Fuma family, Mr. Fuma Kotaro, and the 'Wakatou' of the Jakihachi family, when everyone is away, the family affairs are decided by Mr. Fuma. Mr. Fuma does not work in the Japanese branch, but for this mission we borrowed
We have joined the Fuma family’s ninja team, so Mr. Fuma will also attend today’s meeting.”
"The last one is Mr. Masamune Tachibana, the head of the Tachibana family, and the head of the eight Sheqi families."
"You didn't expect the so-called gangsters to be people like us, right?" Masamune Tachibana, who was dressed in white linen, smiled and shook hands with the Caesar team one by one, "Actually, we didn't expect that the ace commissioner of the college headquarters was such an outstanding young man.
ah."
Although he is already a gray-haired old man, Tachibana Masamune has established his status as "the leader among leaders" in the hearts of the guests just by his smile. Even the sharp and sharp Fuma Kotaro does not have the calmness he has.
There is a kind of confidence in that natural and friendly smile that you have things firmly in your hands.
"The head of the Miyamoto family is making some preparations. You will see her soon. As for the head of the Uesugi family, she is not in good health. She got sick again in the middle of the night last night. She is still in bed and resting. Please forgive her for being rude."
Tachibana Masamune said.
"It is not convenient for me to be present at the high-level meeting, so I will leave the meeting." Ying bowed deeply.
Ying Ying moved slightly to exit and closed the door, leaving Mo Qianye behind. Mo Qianye breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Excellency Qianye, are you nervous?" Inuyama He joked with a smile.
"No, it's just that Miss Ying was next to me and the heads of the family were opposite me, which made me feel like a girl bringing her boyfriend back to meet her parents." Mo Qianye replied jokingly, stroking the back of his head.
"Hahaha!" The family heads were amused by Mo Qianye's answer. It turned out that this was the reason why he was nervous just now.
It seems that the commissioner from this headquarters is a good talker.
A charcoal stove was lit on the table, and a Kansai iron kettle sat on the stove. The iron kettle was dark and heavy, with countless blunt thorns on the upper part like a durian, and a carving of a Crow Tengu with a red face and a long nose on the lower part, flying in the stream with open wings.
In the cloud flames, the charcoal fire burned the bottom of the pot red, and the face of the Crow Tengu and the edges of its wings glowed with glowing fire. The water was about to boil. The breeze blew by, and the water in the pot gurgled. From such a high place, you can directly see
When we reach the surface of Tokyo Bay, we can see white sails in the sunshine.
"The tea is very fragrant, sweet but not astringent. There is no dryness in the mouth after drinking the tea brewed from ordinary tea leaves. This is not ordinary tea, right?" Mo Qianye said casually.
"It's a blessing to have this tea approved by the heir to the Yan Group." Masamune Tachibana said, "This is Gong Gong Tea, the best tea specially supplied to the royal family. It took a lot of effort for us to get it.
."
When the water boiled, Tachibana Masamune picked up the iron kettle, poured the boiling water into the tea bowl, and then poured out the water. This is the standard Japanese tea ceremony procedure. The first hot water is just used to heat the tea bowl. Then he picked out the tea bowl with a wooden tea spoon.
Put two spoonfuls of tea powder into the teacup, then take a large spoonful of hot water from the iron pot and pour it into the teacup, stir it gently with a tea spoon. His technique is light and solemn, and the big sleeves of the linen kimono are flying in the breeze, just like
The piano master played in the wind, and the silent music overflowed like the vast ocean. He took out the golden ancient silk gauze from his waist and put it on the tea bowl, gently turned it in his hand, turned the side with the bamboo bird pattern toward Caesar, and bent down to serve it.
Tea. Mo Qianye noticed that there was also a piece of golden ancient silk gauze in front of him. He bent down and took the tea bowl calmly. He also used the ancient silk gauze to cushion it. He turned it clockwise twice in the palm of his hand, facing the bamboo bird pattern.
Tachibana Masamune.
Mo Qianye gently blew the tea in his hand to cool down, then raised his head and drank the tea soup. He paused for a moment, then slowly reset his body, rotated the tea bowl counterclockwise twice, reoriented the bamboo bird pattern to himself, and lowered his head to admire the pattern of the tea bowl.
, with a look of admiration on his face.
"Making tea is one of my few specialties. I would like to express my respect to the distinguished guests. Without wasting everyone's precious time, Mr. Fuma and Mr. Inuyama and I will take our leave first. The affairs of the academy will be taken care of by Shosei, Ms. Sakurai and Mr. Ryoma.
." Masamune Tachibana stood up and said goodbye, "I hope you will be happy in your time in Japan and your mission will go well."
Mo Qianye stood up and returned the greeting, and Masamune Tachibana left the terrace with Fuma Kotaro and Inuyama Ga.
The sliding door closed behind him, Fuma Kotaro took a step forward and lowered his voice: "Mr. Masamune, is he okay?"
"Although the child said that he is a difficult child to guess, I believe that he is indeed very good. Mo Qianye's bloodline is top-notch S-level among all mixed breeds. He is valued so much by Anger not just because he is a speaker.
The leader of the group, but anyone who can be trusted by Hilbert Jean Angers must be believed by the whole world!" Masamune Tachibana said in a deep voice, "His arrival is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us and we must not miss it.
!”
"I have a similar feeling. He clearly knows that we are a gangster, but he is not afraid in his attitude, handles it appropriately, and even understands tea ceremony etiquette." Fuma Kotaro frowned, "It's just that Mr. Masamune didn't respond when you used boiling water to make tea.
If you drink it all, won't it be... hot?"
Mo Qianye licked the burning roof of his mouth, wondering if the hot cup of tea had burned off a layer of skin there.
"Would you like some ice to hold in your mouth?"
"Have you noticed?" Mo Qianye was a little embarrassed now. He had worked so hard to endure it, but the other party had already noticed it.
"I don't think you need to be serious with Mr. Masamune about the tea ceremony. In fact, he doesn't understand tea ceremony at all. He is only a half-hearted Japanese." Minamoto said calmly.
"So I'm telling a Russian about tea ceremony!"
Yingying came in with an ice bucket, and Mo Qianye put aside his reserve and grabbed an ice cube and swallowed it in his mouth. The burning pain in his mouth was slightly relieved.
In a French restaurant with three Michelin stars, Mo Qianye sat on a chair and looked curiously at the busy waiters around him.
After visiting Genji Heavy Industries in the morning and meeting with several owners, he followed the plan and went to Sensoji Temple, a famous neon place, with Genji and the others, and then went to Ginza to buy things. Then he considered the car.
It might be crowded, so I went directly to this restaurant to eat.
"Hasn't Mr. Qianye ever been to a place like this?" Yuan Zhisheng asked, noticing that Mo Qianye looked curious about the baby.
"I rarely go out to eat. Most of the time I call for takeout in my dormitory. And I'm a little... not used to French food," Mo Qianye said.
Although with my current worth, it is perfectly fine to eat French meals for three meals a day, but once I am used to Chinese food, it is difficult to accept other dishes.
"Is that so..." Yuan Zhisheng nodded, said nothing, and then concentrated on eating the food in front of him. Mo Qianye stopped looking around and concentrated on eating.
That damn schedule didn't leave much time for lunch, so they didn't have much time to chat.
Chapter completed!
