The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 405 Huang Quan Invitation (11)

"Tsk, this level of injury doesn't hurt at all!" King Kong said nonchalantly: "I can blow them up with just one punch!"

As he said that, he rushed forward again and attacked the kamaitachi sitting in the whirlwind.

"Get behind me, idiot!" the doll yelled.

King Kong only felt a gust of wind whistling past from behind. He turned his head and found that there was a big cut on the back of his T-shirt. Although the wound was very shallow, it was still there, which meant that the enemy's attack could hurt him.

Kongo yelled, "Musashi, you need to give me advance warning!"

The doll said angrily: "My name is not Musashi! What an idiot! I only have one mouth, but there are three enemies. Can I come here? The one on the right! No, the left!"

As soon as he finished speaking, King Kong felt the sound of wind blowing past his ears again. He shouted and punched the enemy, but missed him. At the same time, he felt a cool breeze blowing on the back of his neck.

"Which side are you on?" King Kong roared, "Are you kidding me?"

"Huh?" The doll was also angry: "I'm kidding you? I was also cut and it hurt! I think you are too slow, aren't you? Idiot! Can't you feel that the enemy is playing a trick to attack in the east and west?"

King Kong was really angry this time, he yelled at the doll: "That's enough! Stop calling me a fool all the time! Have some respect for your master, or I'll beat you up!"

The doll said sarcastically, "I'm really sorry, Master. You are so weak and stupid. Even I can't do anything about it. Let's all wait for death together."

So, in full view of everyone, King Kong started quarreling with his partner, which made Xingchang Rang and Qian Xiaoyi shake their heads. The three Kamaitachi Shikigami also stopped attacking and watched the show from the side.

"It turns out that they haven't gotten used to each other enough." Qian Xiaoyi said helplessly, "And it also exposed his second weakness, which is that his attack method is too single. Once he is targeted, it is difficult for him to exert his strength. If he continues to fight like this, in actual combat, the three sickle-weasels will drain all of his blood without him noticing, causing him to die of exhaustion."

Xingchang Rang scratched his cheek and said, "If he can use the doll skillfully, he can also use the doll to release some spell attacks to contain the enemy, but Zanshiro... seems to be called Musashi now. Musashi is an evil spirit with its own thoughts after all. If you want to use it, it depends on whether it is willing. That guy is very smart, and it also wants to gain the initiative in this way. Whether it can be subdued depends on Kongo himself."

On the other side, Terao Yu took out his notebook and wrote: "Although Kong has made up for some of his shortcomings in terms of slow inspiration after owning the doll, it is obvious that he is not very skilled in using it... We can only say that there is a lot to look forward to in the future. For the time being, let's rank him in the top of the B-level. He is only one step away from the A-level."

This time, King Kong failed the challenge and fell at the fourth level. Ashiya Yoshisuke asked the paper shikigami to bring him a pot of wine as a reward for the challenge.

Seeing the pot of spiritual wine, King Kong immediately forgot his recent unhappiness, drank it in one gulp, and the cuts on his body began to heal slowly.

"You did well, but you still need to continue to work hard and practice. I hope you can make further progress the next time I see you." Ashiya Jisuke asked: "So, who's next?"

Qian Xiaoyi turned to look at Inuyama Heita and said, "It's decided to be you, Heitaro, go down quickly."

"Am I a Pokémon?" Inuyama Heita sighed, jumped into the arena, and stood firmly on the ground. If it were in reality, he would definitely not dare to jump from such a high place, but here, Inuyama Heita had long mastered the technique of changing cognition to reduce damage, so he seemed very calm.

"Um..." Inuyama Heita looked up at Ashiya Kisuke and said, "I am Inuyama Heita from Reiku Office. Please give me your guidance."

"Reiku Agency, sounds familiar." Terao Yu was still recording the newcomer's information with his notebook, thinking, "I just talked to this guy. It's obvious that he is a newcomer who has just entered the industry not long ago. He doesn't even know some common sense in the industry. I'm afraid he is not from a big family. In this case, he can only reach the second level at most, right?"

The difficulty of Ashiya Yoshisuke's challenge activities increases exponentially. The first challenge is often an ordinary vengeful spirit, which is used to test the exorcist's attack methods and efficiency. Basically, all challengers who can enter here can pass this level, it's just a matter of time.

At the second level, there is the advanced dog-demon shikigami. The dog-demon's attacks are more ferocious and the speed becomes faster. After passing this level, you will be at about the level of a mid-level B-level exorcist in Terao Yushin.

After the third level, Ashiya Yoshisuke will summon corresponding Shikigami according to the characteristics of the challengers, which means he starts to target them to see their comprehensiveness.

The fourth level is to strengthen the challenger's weaknesses.

According to the data held by Terao Iku, Ashiya Yoshisuke will only take out his commonly used main Shikigami after reaching the fifth level. It is said that currently there is only one person who has challenged to the seventh level. The challenger is the monk Ruriin Hiroaki of Mingguang Temple, the eighth-ranked S-level exorcist. Even so, he did not force out Ashiya Yoshisuke's most powerful Shikigami.

"Oh! Well done!"

Terao Yu had just been distracted for a while, and the challenger below had already passed the first level. When he came to his senses, he happened to see Inuyama Heita knocking the vengeful spirit away with his flaming fist, then taking out a talisman, sticking it on the vengeful spirit, and muttering something.

"Is it the Rebirth Mantra?" Seeing the hatred on the face of the vengeful spirit disappear little by little, Terao Yu was a little surprised. Few people would do this at this time. They are just vengeful spirits. Wouldn't it be enough to just destroy them? Was it a show in front of Mr. Ashiya?

Ignoring other people's comments, Inuyama Heita insisted on finishing the spell, allowing the vengeful spirit to ascend to heaven.

Qian Xiaoyi nodded and thought, "This kid still remembers this matter. It seems that he is really practicing hard."

In his country, his colleagues in the industry usually focus on salvation when they encounter such vengeful spirits. In addition to highlighting the compassion of his family, there is another reason, that is, they believe that directly beating these ghosts to death is against the harmony of nature. After all, these vengeful spirits were also poor people when they were alive. If they did not retain extreme resentment before death, how could they condense into evil spirits?
Of course, this is the view of the classical school. The cognitive school has another view, that is, these ghosts that harm people are essentially aggregates of negative cognition. If they are directly broken up, it would be like burning toxic garbage to save trouble. It seems to have disappeared, but in fact the toxic substances will spread into the surrounding air and affect people's health.

To put it simply, it will dilute these negative emotions in the surrounding area. If it's just a little bit, it's okay, but if you do this too much, then over time, the concentration of negative emotions in the air will continue to increase. Not only will people in the environment become depressed, but the probability of ghosts appearing will also increase, damaging the entire environment.

The ritual of salvation is actually a harmless treatment, using one's own cognition to influence and neutralize these negative emotions. Therefore, unless the situation is urgent or there is no other way, domestic colleagues will basically not destroy the ghosts directly after subduing them, but will try to perform a salvation ceremony first. This is the consistent code of conduct in Qian Xiaoyi's industry.

But in Japan, there are very few people who do this. Probably only those great monks or exorcists who only know how to perform the art of salvation would do this.

But no matter what others did, Qian Xiaoyi always adhered to this principle, so he naturally taught this habit to Inuyama Heita.
