The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 159 Competition (9)

King Kong said awkwardly from behind: "Hey, Mr. Gui Teng, aren't you being a little too shameless? This guy saved us all."

Gui Teng Longguang said: "I know, I remember this favor, but a competition is a competition, and it cannot be confused with the other. From the perspective of the rules, the fact is that only the person who solves the fundamental problem of this house is the winner. I will not admit defeat easily... So, where is that little brother Qian? Let him come out, there is no need to hide and watch the joke anymore."

Inuyama Heita shook his head: "I don't know where he is either."

"Humph, it's really outrageous to let a child come forward." Gui Teng Longguang turned his head and said to King Kong: "Let's go and go back to repair it. Now that we know the problem of this house, I have a solution."

He was prepared to risk his reputation and spend some money to invite monks from other temples to come over tomorrow to prepare a grand ceremony for the house to drive away the negative energy in the house, the sooner the better.

Before leaving, Guido Ryuko said to Inuyama Heita: "You should go out with us. This house is really weird. I don't know how long the talisman can last. If there is nothing else, you should not stay here at night."

Inuyama Heita thought about it and decided that since Qian Xiaoyi didn't show up, he should go out first. It was indeed very dangerous here.

"Wait, Inuyama." Ken's voice sounded in his ears: "I always feel that something is wrong outside, don't leave yet."

"Something's wrong?" Inuyama Heita looked at the talisman on the wall in confusion. It was clearly pasted on fine.

But he chose to believe Ajian and stopped.

"Hmph, whatever you want. Let's go, King Kong." Gui Teng Longguang misunderstood his actions, and walked towards the door with the Zen stick in his hand.

King Kong said to Inuyama Heita apologetically: "I'm sorry, brother. This time, it's all thanks to you. Please tell Mr. Qian that I will visit him next time to thank him in person."

Then he followed Ryuko Kito and prepared to walk out of the room.

Gui Teng Longguang touched the sliding door. This time the barrier of the room did not work, so he opened the sliding door easily. However, what appeared in front of him was not the corridor outside, but...

——Endless darkness.

"What is this?!!" Gui Teng Longguang was hit hard against the wall by the black air that surged in like a tide. King Kong protected his head with his arms and gritted his teeth to hold on in the black air. Three ghosts walked out of the door, and the family of three stared at them viciously.

Inuyama Heita was not affected by the shock because of Ken's reminder. He turned his head and looked at the wall. The moment Kidou Ryumitsu opened the door, the house-guarding talisman fell off the wall and landed gently on the ground.

"I guessed right!" Ken screamed, "We are still in the ghost zone! Hurry up and hide, Inuyama!"

Inuyama Heita took out the purple talisman and activated it. The cold feeling once again permeated his whole body, but this time he couldn't help but throw the talisman away as soon as he entered, because it was too cold. He had already reached his limit before, and if he maintained it for a little longer, he would collapse due to the erosion of negative emotions.

Three ghostly figures slowly walked towards the three people, as if announcing the arrival of the end moment.

"Why! Why is this happening?" Inuyama Heita's teeth chattered as he said, "I clearly pasted the house-guarding talisman at the core of the house's evil spirit, why is it useless..."

Ken warned, "Inuyama! I sense there's something outside the door! There are more than just these three evil spirits in this house!"

"Another? The fourth one?" Before Inuyama Heita could react, a flash of red light pierced through the darkness, and a black shadow flew into the room from outside the door and nailed it to the wall. Then the black air in the house quickly faded away, and even the family of three turned into pus and sank into the ground.

"That's right, this is the fourth evil spirit hidden deeper inside." Qian Xiaoyi walked into the house from outside, came to the black shadow, and said: "-This is the real mastermind behind this house." "Brother Yi!"

"Mr. Qian!"

Inuyama Heita and Kongo both showed happy expressions, only Kidou Ryuko had a look of as if he had eaten a fly. Although he didn't know what was going on, he understood that he had lost completely this time and had been rescued twice, so he couldn't deny it.

"The fourth evil spirit is..." Inuyama Heita looked at the black shadow that was nailed to the wall by the copper coin sword and kept struggling.

Qian Xiaoyi said: "Have you forgotten? The dead exorcist."

"Exorcist..." Gui Teng Longguang was shocked: "You mean, after that guy died in the house, he was not assimilated, but turned into an evil spirit and took control of the house?"

Qian Xiaoyi said, "That's right. The original house was just an ordinary haunted house with evil spirits. But after the exorcist was killed accidentally, the house became even more dangerous. It's really thanks to Mr. Ashiya for finding such a rare commission and taking so much pains."

Gui Teng Longguang said in disbelief: "So my barrier can't be lifted, and King Kong and I are locked up like this? Because this evil spirit was also an exorcist in his previous life, so he knows how to activate the barrier... and the house-guarding talisman. The three evil spirits are part of the house, but the evil spirit of this new exorcist is not. The house-guarding talisman doesn't have that much effect on him, so... you knew it from the beginning?"

"Probably." Qian Xiaoyi said, "Who told you not to understand Feng Shui? Under normal circumstances, the evil spirits in Feng Shui patterns are not so smart. They will just mechanically repeat accidents over and over again. Only evil spirits have some wisdom and can adapt to circumstances. So if you think about it, you will know that this is a mixed type of haunted house. No matter which single strategy is used to deal with it, it will lead to disaster."

Gui Teng Longguang sighed. This time he was really convinced. The opponent's strength and eyesight were far superior to his. In terms of exorcism skills, the two were not on the same level.

Inuyama Heita suddenly thought of something and asked, "Brother Yi, so you anticipated what happened just now, and I am also part of the plan?"

"What did you guess?" Qian Xiaoyi asked with a smile, "Tell me?"

Inuyama Heita also sighed and said, "First, use Master Kitano and the others as the first bait to draw out the surface threat of this house, and then let me solve the haunted house and lure the evil spirit of the exorcist to appear... In other words, this evil spirit of the exorcist has long been aware of my existence and even knows that I used that talisman, so he has been waiting for me to appear and then defeat the three of us in one fell swoop, and you are also waiting for it to take action, this is..."

"The mantis stalks the cicada." Qian Xiaoyi said with a smile.

"The oriole is behind." Inuyama Heita replied, and then he suddenly thought of a question and asked, "Wait! Since this evil spirit knew that I was in the house, it was patiently waiting for me to show up, then why didn't it know about your existence, Brother Otoko? We were obviously together before."

"Do I need to think about this?" Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Of course it's because... the moment I entered this house, I used the same spell as you, so in his eyes, I don't exist."

Inuyama Heitai was extremely shocked and murmured, "From the beginning? From day until now?!" He knew the side effects of the talisman too well. He could not bear it in less than half an hour, but Qian Xiaoyi could actually hold on for so long.

While Inuyama Heita was still in shock, Qian Xiaoyi looked at the black shadow struggling in pain on the wall, shook his head and said, "I forgot about you while chatting. So, goodbye, colleague whose name I don't know. I will pray for your salvation later."

He grasped the copper coin sword and swung it casually, cutting the black shadow into two pieces and burning it to ashes.

After doing all this, Qian Xiaoyi turned his head to look at the origami bird outside the window and said, "Grandpa, have you seen enough? Let's announce the winner."

The bird-shaped god flapped its wings and flew away. After a while, the ghost domain disappeared, the power in the room returned to normal, and the light reappeared. Then, his and Gui Teng Longguang's phones vibrated at the same time, and the same message came from them:

[First round, winner: Qian Xiaoyi. ]
