The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 399 Huang Quan Invitation (5)

"S-level! It's the pinnacle of exorcists." Terao Yu said with fascination: "Only when you have reached a height that others cannot reach in a certain field can you enter this level."

Qian Xiaoyi asked, "So you're not going to make another ranking of the top ten masters, are you?"

"You're so long-winded!" Terao Yu blushed and said, "It looks neater that way!"

Qian Xiaoyi was speechless and said, "So they are really the top ten masters...Okay, okay, don't worry, I won't interrupt you, okay? You can start introducing these ten S-level masters."

Terao Yu said: "Then I will start..."

Then he stared at Qian Xiaoyi in a daze without saying a word. Qian Xiaoyi reacted and said quickly, "Really, really, I won't interrupt this time."

Terao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I will really begin. By the way, there is one thing you should know. I am talking about exorcists in the Kanto region. I don't know much about people in other regions. However, Tokyo is the largest city in Japan, with the largest population and the largest number of exorcists. Even if the dojo is not in Tokyo, there are still many exorcists who often operate here, so it should be no problem to say that they are the strongest group of people."

"Yeah~" Qian Xiaoyi nodded: "Let's get started."

"Okay!" Terao Yu said with sparkling eyes, "First, the last one in the S-rank ranking, that is, the tenth one - [Strange Store Manager] Hoshiba Ryou."

"Xingchangrang is only ranked tenth? But he does have some weird nicknames..." Qian Xiaoyi complained silently in his heart: "Do these Japanese feel uncomfortable if they don't give others a middle school nickname?"

Terao Yuke couldn't hear Qian Xiaoyi's thoughts, so he continued to introduce: "Mr. Hoshiba is the heir of the ancient exorcist family, the Hoshiba family. He is the grandson of the famous "Ghost Doctor" Hoshiba Ren. He is also a top craftsman who can make excellent props and weapons and is good at sealing techniques. I heard that he is also very powerful, and his family has a deep foundation that ordinary people can't reach. Even if he only relies on props, he won't be too weak. However, since he basically doesn't accept general commissions and only makes money by opening a shop, his record is average, so he ranks at the bottom."

Qian Xiaoyi thought to himself: "That guy is not only good at making props..."

However, Xingchangrang rarely takes action, and outsiders do not know his strength, so it is acceptable to rank him here, so Qian Xiaoyi nodded: "Please continue."

Terao Yu said, "The next one is the ninth one - [Osorezan Shrine Maiden] Granny Momo. As you can tell from her name, she is from Osorezan in the northeast region (one of the three major sacred places in Japan). She is good at communicating with spirits. Although she is a little old, her strength should not be underestimated. It is said that she can summon a thousand dead spirits to fight for her. Not only that, it is said that no matter how long ago a soul has been dead, she can temporarily summon it from the underworld to ask questions. She often travels between Tokyo and Aomori Prefecture, and can be considered someone in this circle."

"It's a bit like asking a fortune teller?" Qian Xiaoyi thought, "Are you good at fortune telling?"

He didn't know this person, and he didn't know whether what Terao Yu said was true or not, but he was inclined not to believe it. If he could summon the souls of anyone he wanted, the world would have been in chaos long ago. But unfortunately, in the eyes of the cognitive school, hell and heaven never existed, so it was impossible to do it.

"Next is the eighth one." Terao Yu said, "The successor of the Meiko-ryu, Ruriin Hiroaki, is recognized as the most diligent exorcist. I heard that his current strength is no less than that of his father. Although he is not good at socializing, he often accepts various dangerous commissions to hone his exorcism skills."

Another old acquaintance. Qian Xiaoyi remembered him. He had come to the office before and wanted to discuss with Qian Xiaoyi how to deal with the woman with the slit mouth, so he remembered it clearly. At that time, he knew that the monk's cultivation was not weak, so it was not surprising that he was ranked here.

"Then there is the seventh one." Terao Yu said, "God's Agent, Kamino Yoshiyuki. We all call him Father Kamino or Father."

"Priest? Catholic? Exorcist?" Qian Xiaoyi was interested. Although Christianity was also spreading in China, the public there had no knowledge of exorcism, and most people did not even take God seriously. Therefore, Qian Xiaoyi had never seen Christian exorcism methods, which would not work in China. But it was different in Japan. Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan had absorbed a lot of Western culture, Christianity being one of them. Therefore, Christianity still had a certain weight here. In theory, holy water and the like were useful here.

Qian Xiaoyi asked with interest: "Tell me, how does this priest exorcise spirits? And why is he listed as an S-level exorcist?"

Terao Yu said: "His nickname is very clear. The priest has a firm faith. He can use the power of God to strike at evil spirits. He is an almighty being with almost no weaknesses."

"So amazing!" Qian Xiaoyi asked, "Then why is he only seventh?"

Terao Yu said: "Because he only helps his followers solve their requests and will not act for money, so his limitations are quite large."

"I understand." Qian Xiaoyi nodded: "I really want to see this person's methods."

"I advise you not to." Terao Yu said, "The commissions that S-level exorcists take on are all very difficult. It's better for people of our level not to get close to them."

Qian Xiaoyi said: "That makes sense, what's the next one?"

Terao Yu coughed twice and said, "The next one... Speaking of him, I have to mention the person who was originally ranked sixth - [Curse] Hiruda Makoto. The reason for this nickname is that he is the curse itself. According to legend, he has thousands of curses in his body. The power is already filthy and unbearable. In addition, he has a bad personality. No one wants to be hostile to him. In terms of blood relationship, he and I are cousins... OK, actually not that close...

Anyway, such a troublesome guy was defeated head-on... You have heard about the competition last year, right?"

Qian Xiaoyi said: "I have heard something about it."

Terao Yu said: "It was a dirty competition. Under the auspices of Mr. Ashiya, Hiruda Makoto and another exorcist from China started a duel. Although I was not there, I know some inside stories...

Hiruda, that guy, cheated and brought a dozen of his accomplices to the competition venue, intending to besiege the exorcist from China. However... including Hiruda Makoto himself, after the competition, a dozen first-rate sorcerers all went crazy! And the winner was the Chinese exorcist. "

Qian Xiaoyi questioned in the tone of a well-known host: "Really? I don't believe it~"

"It's true! They are still in the mental hospital! I saw it with my own eyes!" Terao Yu excitedly said loudly, "That was that despicable Hiruda! Even after setting up traps, he still lost to the Chinese exorcist, which shows how powerful the opponent is! So the sixth S-level is the [Psychic Detective] from China, Qian Xiaoyi, who replaced Hiruda Makoto!"

"Wow~"

Qian Xiaoyi exclaimed dryly.
