The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 642: Intensive Special Training (5)

It is said that after that day, neighbors living near the old house of Hayashi Koichirō would occasionally hear a woman screaming outside when they were sleeping late at night, but when they wanted to listen carefully to where it came from, the sound disappeared. This caused a lot of discussion among everyone during this period, and they began to discuss whether they should call the police to find out the cause.

Qian Xiaoyi was not very clear about the trouble that Lingnai had caused. Apart from asking her to come to the office every once in a while to check on the results of her training, he did not pay much attention to it. After all, this was the special training that Lingnai had requested herself, and even if she wanted to quit, it was her own business.

Fortunately, Suzuna didn't have any aversion to this special training, and she gradually adapted to it. She must have begun to master the tricks and tasted the sweetness. As for how far she can reach, it depends on how high her bitch level is.

Compared to the special training session that Lingna has already arranged, Qian Xiaoyi needs to think more about how to arrange the remaining people.

Kongo, Terao Yu, and Inuyama Heita are all easy to deal with. They are all grown men who are eager to become stronger, can endure hardships, are motivated, are strong and durable, and have many ways to exercise. But there is one guy...

Qian Xiaoyi looked at Gui Teng Longguang who was sitting on the sofa in front of him, stroking his chin in deep thought, and remained silent for a long time.

To be honest, the arrival of Gui Teng Longguang posed a difficult problem for him. It was really difficult to arrange special training for this old man who was already in his sixties.

If you want him to take the same unconventional path as Suzuna, he doesn't have the talent and will easily get himself burned and kill himself.

I want him to build up his basic skills and be as hardworking as King Kong and the others, but I'm also afraid that he might strain his old waist.

It can be said that he is neither good at literature nor at martial arts, but his strength lies in his connections.

Qian Xiaoyi really didn't want this type of student. He even wanted to persuade him to go somewhere else, but...

——The other party gave too much.

"Brother Qian, I know this is not an easy matter..." Gui Teng Longguang took out a bundle of banknotes from his wallet and placed it on the coffee table, begging: "But I still hope that I can have some ability to protect myself, and I hope you can pay more attention..."

Seeing this, Qian Xiaoyi said righteously: "What are you talking about, Brother Gui Teng? We have known each other for such a long time, how could I not care about your affairs? Your affairs are my affairs, please don't worry at all! Since Brother Gui Teng thinks so highly of me, I will accept the deposit for this commission."

"Deposit?" Gui Teng Longguang's hands trembled, and he said with a bitter face: "Yes, this is the deposit for the commission. As long as the commission is completed, I will pay the remaining half of the commission."

Qian Xiaoyi had no psychological burden in cheating this "old brother" of Gui Teng. This guy had been working in this business for many years and must have some savings. This little money was nothing.

So there was a scene where Qian Xiaoyi was sitting on the sofa, thinking hard, and staring at Gui Teng Longguang. Having taken their money, Qian Xiaoyi couldn't let Gui Teng Longguang and King Kong suffer together, so he had to at least give them some special treatment.

But it brings us back to the previous question - how to give special training to Gui Teng Longguang?
Gui Teng Longguang felt a little uncomfortable with Qian Xiaoyi's gaze. He asked with a bitter face, "Is it really that hard to imagine?"

He was a senior after all, and it was a great decision for him to lower his face and ask for help from a junior. Now he was being humiliated by a junior. It was really unreasonable! If there were no outsiders around, he would have left long ago.

“……” Qian Xiaoyi remained silent.

"Please think about it again..." Gui Teng Longguang asked. Qian Xiaoyi suddenly asked: "Master Gui Teng, what are you best at? Don't think, just say it."

Gui Teng Longguang was stunned for a second, then blurted out: "Probably chanting."

He may not be familiar with the other things, but he has been practicing chanting scriptures for who knows how long. From small things like the funeral industry to big things like exorcism commissions, it can be said that as long as he personally takes action, there will almost certainly be a session of chanting scriptures.

This is also the reason why he was able to stand out from the crowd and become the main force in summoning the incarnation of Acala, because he has been reciting various scriptures for decades.

"I see..." Qian Xiaoyi nodded and said, "In that case, I'd like you to just shut up for the time being."

"What?" Gui Teng Longguang opened his eyes wide in confusion. What he was best at was chanting scriptures, but Qian Xiaoyi asked him to shut up?

Qian Xiaoyi said: "Regarding your current situation, although it may be a bit rude to say this, Master Gui Teng, the reason why you are making slow progress in practicing Buddhism is probably not because you don't have talent, but because you are too smart."

"What does this mean?" Gui Teng Longguang frowned.

Qian Xiaoyi shook his head and said, "I have also seen some real masters in China. They were not smart since childhood. Some of them even said that they were stupid when they were young. They could not even recite scriptures as fast as others. It often took them several times longer to completely recite them. It even took them much longer to understand the contents of those scriptures."

Gui Teng Longguang understood something: "You mean... because those masters are not as smart as others, they spend most of their time studying the scriptures, and they can understand them more deeply, and those 'smart people'..."

"Smart people will use their extra time to do other things," Qian Xiaoyi said. "In general, 'smart people' will act with a more efficient mindset. They call it efficiency, but in essence it is 'utilitarianism', which is contrary to Buddhist philosophy itself."

Gui Teng Longguang's old face turned red, he knew that he was the 'smart guy', reciting Buddhist scriptures was just his tool and means, he would rather make other friends and expand his network, so that he can better manage his 'exorcism business'.

Qian Xiaoyi said: "So if you want to increase your strength, you must understand the true meaning and purpose of those Buddhist scriptures, as well as the effects they can cause. In fact, I am not as good as the monk Liuliyuan in this regard."

"But that will take a long time." Gui Teng Longguang said directly, "Too long that I can't wait. I need to maintain my position in the industry and deal with the attacks of the Hundred Ghosts. If I practice there with others, my secrets will be exposed to others. That's why I came to you. I need a faster and shorter method."

"That's the silent meditation." Qian Xiaoyi said, "Equivalent exchange. If you want to get something, you must give something. Since you want to increase your understanding of the Buddhist scriptures in a short period of time, you have to practice under more extreme circumstances..."

Gui Teng Longguang sighed and said, "After all, this is no different from being in Liuliyuan. It's just that we don't talk to each other on a regular basis."

"Haha... The extreme situation I mentioned doesn't mean that you can't speak." Qian Xiaoyi clapped his hands: "What I meant is that you must complete the practice of silent meditation under such circumstances."

When he clapped his hands, a white fox shadow appeared on Qian Xiaoyi's shoulder, looking at Gui Teng Longguang with its green eyes. In the direction of the utility room, the innocent yet weird laughter of children could be heard...
