The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 119: Fierce Fight! Seven Wonders of Campus! (16)

Esoteric Buddhism, also known as Toji Esoteric Buddhism, was established by the Japanese monk Kukai during the Tang Dynasty who returned from studying Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty and brought Chinese Esoteric Buddhism (Tangmi) back to Japan. Together with the Japanese Tendai Esoteric Buddhism (Taimitsu), they form the two most mainstream Buddhist sects in Japan and are very widely spread. It is not surprising that Gui Teng would use the exorcism techniques of the Esoteric Buddhism sect.

And what he said "When the siege is about to begin, all the soldiers will stand in formation in front" is a misprint of the Taoist nine-character mantra "When the siege is about to begin, all the soldiers will stand in formation forward" in "Baopuzi". It was integrated into Eastern Esoteric Buddhism and then inherited by Tantric Buddhism. The common scenes of ninjas making hand seals in anime are the result of the ninjas' belief in Eastern Esoteric Buddhism.

Qian Xiaoyi didn't know much about this school, so he was very absorbed in the reading. He carefully identified the handwriting on the ground with the ghost vine as the center, and said to himself: "The writing on the ground is the Great Sun Sutra, and the one he is chanting should be the Acala Mantra, plus the Zen stick placed next to it... the mantra, the formula, and the instrument, it's a bit like those bald men in China~ But the effect... hehe."

Qian Xiaoyi couldn't help laughing. When he was in China before, he knew many real masters who only knew these three methods of exorcism, which formed a sharp contrast with the various methods of Taoism. However, he dared not underestimate the monks who only knew these methods. Generally, the monks who practiced these methods were ascetics who needed to abide by various precepts and practice hard day after day. This was a method that was very dependent on the caster himself. Only monks who tempered their own spirits to a very strong level could exert its effect. The higher the monk, the more powerful it was. Although there were only three tricks, they were simple and crude, and very effective.

But in Japan... He didn't think the average level of monks here would be very high. It wasn't discrimination or prejudice, but since the Meiji Restoration, when the government issued the "Lifting the Ban on Eating Meat and Bringing Home Wife", monks could marry and have children at will, eat meat and drink wine, and indulge in enjoyment. Those rules and regulations had long been thrown aside. How could they practice asceticism? It was completely contrary to the conditions for practicing those exorcism methods.

Of course, there are wine-drinking monks in China, and there are definitely ascetic monks here, but the Master Gui Teng in front of him is undoubtedly not that kind of person. Just because he is blinded by profit and wants to compete with him for business and squeeze him out, it is known that his character is definitely not up to the standard, so his level in this aspect must not be very high. Or, if he is good at it, he will not fall for these tricks at all, and will just walk away as if it were flat ground, and will not even bother to argue with him.

Sure enough, on the surveillance screen, Gui Teng wrote a circle of Buddhist scriptures on the ground around him and kept reciting them, but his brows were still furrowed. There was no sign of him getting out of that state, and it was even getting worse. He took the brush and started writing spells on his face. After a while, his entire face was covered with spells. The Buddhist scriptures were densely arranged on his face, which made people feel weird no matter how they looked at it.

The employees playing the NPC roles also noticed something was wrong. They stuck their heads out from a distance and observed the monk behaving strangely, not knowing what to do.

"Guest, you..."

There was an NPC dressed as a plaster statue who wanted to check on the ghost vine. Qian Xiaoyi said through the loudspeaker: "Don't touch him yet. I'll be there soon. Remember, don't provoke him."

At this point, Qian Xiaoyi had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​testing the ghost vine. It was obvious that this guy lacked experience in fighting with others, and his own level was just at the entry level. He probably relied purely on his connections to have his current reputation. Now that he had given the first blow, continuing would only make enemies, so he just had to let the other party know that he was not someone to be trifled with.

"Manager, it's just a small matter. I'll take care of it. It should be over now."

"Oh, since Teacher Qian said so."

So Qian Xiaoyi got up and left the monitoring room, and came to the haunted house through the employee passage. In the past few days, he had already made a clear understanding of the layout inside. He took out the talismans he had placed previously from every corner of the haunted house with ease, and turned on the lights in various places. The gloomy feeling of the entire haunted house disappeared.

While Qian Xiaoyi was canceling the formation somewhere else, something unexpected happened on the ghost vine side.

As the lights came on, the dangerous aura that made his head hurt disappeared, and Gui Teng vaguely received the signal that the danger had left. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a scene that terrified him - a large group of demons and monsters gathered around him, looking at him as if they wanted to torture him to death and then tear him apart and eat him!

"Ahhhh!!! Get out! Evil spirits, get out!!!" the ghost vine screamed.

Seeing this, Takahashi Aiko, who was dressed as a female ghost, approached Gui Teng and asked worriedly: "Master Gui Teng, what's wrong with you? It's me, I am..."

"Back off!" Gui Teng roared in panic, raising the Zen staff in his hand.

"Sister Aiko, there's danger!" Ah Zheng pushed Takahashi Aiko away with one step, and was hit on the chest by Gui Teng's Zen stick, falling backwards in pain.

"Azheng!"

"Hey, why are you hitting someone?"

"Manager, is the manager here?"

The employees were in a panic, and Gui Teng finally woke up from his trance. He looked at Ah Zheng on the ground, then looked at the Zen stick in his hand, and finally realized what he had done.

The Zen stick fell to the ground with a bang, and Gui Teng explained hesitantly: "...It's not like that, I..."

"Please leave!" Takahashi Aiko hugged Ah Zheng, who looked in pain, and glared at Gui Teng: "You are not welcome here!"

"What are you doing, you evil monk!"

"The haunted house hates guests like you who beat up the employees the most!"

Gui Teng was frightened by the attitude of the crowd and took a step back. He was very upset and didn't understand how things turned out like this. He had brought all the tools today and was going to write a spell to let the manager of the haunted house see the existence of ghosts so that he would believe in himself and teach the foreign liar a lesson. But things changed too quickly. The guy was not a liar, and he accidentally attacked the employees of the haunted house. It seemed that not only did he lose the order, but his reputation would also be damaged, and all of this was caused by one person...

Qian Xiaoyi heard the noise of the commotion and rushed over immediately. He glanced at the scene and understood what had happened. He asked others to help A Zheng out to check, and he came to Gui Teng.

"Brother Qian." Gui Teng spoke first, his face full of guilt, "I am not well-trained and I couldn't tell the difference between reality and illusion. I hurt innocent people. I am really ashamed. I apologize for questioning you before. At that time, I was really blinded by fame and fortune and couldn't see the truth. I will pay for that person's medical expenses."

"Master, please don't say such things." Qian Xiaoyi said, "No one wants this kind of thing to happen, so Master, don't blame yourself too much. I'll take you out first."

"Thank you." Master Gui Teng said politely.

The two of them no longer had the previous hostility and greeted each other politely at the door. After exchanging business cards, Gui Teng put on his bamboo hat and left sadly. The attitude of this store was very firm. Even if they didn't want to pay for the medicine, they didn't want to see him anymore.

Looking at the other person's leaving figure, Qian Xiaoyi knew that the feud between them was settled.

"This matter is not over yet!" Gui Teng sat in a taxi, his eyes full of anger. He took out his mobile phone and asked in a group:
Gui Teng Longguang: [Gentlemen, does anyone know that there is a foreign colleague from Roppongi, his name is Qian Xiaoyi...]
