The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 654: The Journey to the Mountain of Osorrow (7)

After Qian Xiaoyi went in, the exorcists who were doing odd jobs also noticed them.

"Isn't this King Kong~"

"Master Kidou? And Terao?"

"Are the siblings from the Takasaka family here too?"

"Wait, the person who just came in was the psychic detective Qian Xiaoyi, right? What is he doing here?"

When some exorcists who knew them saw King Kong and his friends, they immediately put down their work and started chatting with them.

King Kong said enthusiastically: "Let me help. Is this your daily special training?"

He took the axe from an acquaintance and started to help him chop wood. The muscles in King Kong's arms bulged and he could chop a bundle of firewood in just two or three strokes. His movements were extremely skillful.

"Thank you for your help." The familiar exorcist wiped the sweat from his head: "Here we need to light a fire for cooking and bathing, and suddenly you want me to chop wood. I did this kind of thing in the countryside when I was a child, so I have some experience, but it's really torture. Fortunately, you are here."

King Kong smiled and said, "This kind of thing is nothing to me. I would rather do this than the special training that Mr. Qian has given me during this period of time."

"You can't even stand King Kong? So you can't stand the rough special training over there, so you came here instead?" The exorcist said happily, "That's great."

King Kong shook his head: "No, I was just brought here by Mr. Qian for communication and to start the second phase of special training. I will leave after a few days."

"Oh~ what a shame."

Seeing King Kong taking the initiative to help everyone with the work, Terao Yu and Kidou Ryumitsu felt it was not convenient for them to just stand there, so they also started to help with some odd jobs.

Suzuna also saw an acquaintance, and walked over with a mocking smile, and said in a superior tone: "Oh, isn't this Ms. Shennen Minako~ I'm so sorry, I almost didn't recognize her~"

Shinno Mariko, who was cooking, got angry when she heard the voice. She turned around and shouted subconsciously, "Who is Shinno Minako... Tsk, why are you here? Did Mr. Qian dislike you and send you here? Haha, the hard training here is not something a delicate city girl like you can endure. Go back to the city quickly."

Ling Na covered her mouth and laughed, "That's true. A weak lady like me naturally can't stand such a rough life... Only seniors like you who are used to rural life can stand it."

"What are you talking about? Are you saying I'm a country bumpkin?" Shinno Mariko waved the iron spoon and shouted, "Get out of the kitchen! Go~ Go~"

Shinno Mariko lit a handful of dry straw on fire and waved it at Suzuna as if to drive away a wild animal, creating a large amount of smoke.

"Ahem... How rude! So impolite!" Suzuna ran away in embarrassment.

In the yard, Terao Yu was helping to carry building materials and said casually, "It's really lively here. I guess you guys have a fulfilling life here every day, right?"

"What a fulfilling life!" complained the bald exorcist who had a good relationship with him, "You don't know how we've been spending these days. I was prepared to practice hard before I got here, after all, this is a temple deep in the mountains and forests. But after I got here, I spent most of my time doing odd jobs. If it weren't for the water and electricity, I would have felt like I'd returned to ancient times."

Terao Yu sighed: "Or is this the true state of asceticism? Every day, you need to spend most of your time to make a living, training your soul and body."

"What kind of training! If I had known, I would have gone to Master Ashiya." The bald exorcist said, "Just train the spirit, not the body. I don't plan to live in the mountains permanently, so what's the point of doing these miscellaneous tasks!" At this time, outside the dojo, a group of high school students poked their heads out, looking at the scene inside in curiosity. It was rare to see so many exorcists in different clothes gathered together, it was like a large-scale role-playing event.

"These...are all exorcists?" Kawasaki's eyes lit up: "Real exorcists? That's awesome!"

Kawasaki, who had been cheated too many times in the past, suddenly had an unreal sense of happiness. Qian Xiaoyi once told them that real psychics are almost rare in the industry of exorcists, and most of the "exorcists" are actually scammers.

So when so many genuine exorcists gathered together, Kawasaki was excited. With so many people, they must be preparing for something big!
Xiao Maeda Yui pulled Kawasaki's clothes and asked fearfully: "Buyer, there are so many strange people... It feels very dangerous inside, why don't we leave?"

Kawasaki was not happy: "How can this be possible! We finally have this opportunity. If there is an exorcist willing to cooperate with us and find evidence of the existence of ghosts, then our supernatural department will be prosperous! This is a great discovery in human history!"

"..." Suzuki didn't want to talk. If it was really so easy to prove the existence of ghosts, then why would it be your turn?
Inuyama Heita said: "Otherwise... let's wait for Brother Yi to come out. We don't know anyone inside, it would be bad if we get cheated."

Kawasaki nodded: "Let's do it! It's still early, we can definitely make it back before the last bus."

Sato held his stomach and sniffed, mumbling, "It smells so good... I wonder if we can go in and eat some."

At this time, Qian Xiaoyi, whom they were waiting for, had already sat in front of Grandma Tao, ready to negotiate with her.

In the lounge, Granny Tao was kneeling on the cushion behind the coffee table, with her head slightly lowered and her eyes closed, as if she was dozing off.

"Granny, Mr. Qian is here." Naraku Hanako came to Grandma Tao and said in her ear.

"Hmm..." Granny Tao slowly opened her eyes, looked at the person in front of her blankly, and asked, "Who? Which Mr. Qian?"

Naraku Huazi gave Qian Xiaoyi an apologetic look, and then reminded Granny Tao, "It's Mr. Qian, the psychic detective. Granny, you kept saying you wanted to meet him."

Granny Tao opened her mouth slightly, and after a long pause she asked, "Who?"

Qian Xiaoyi sat quietly, he knew about Grandma Tao's situation before. As an excellent psychic, Grandma Tao must have performed countless "spiritual rituals" in her life, which had confused her thinking a long time ago.

But as someone who may have seen Taoist Jingde, Qian Xiaoyi could only come to see him with a try-it attitude. But now it seems that his hope is going to be dashed.

"Well... I don't know who he is, but since I said it, it must be something important..." Granny Tao smacked her lips and said, "Hua Zi, go out first. I'll ask the others."

Upon hearing this, Naraku Hanako nodded and left the lounge.

Qian Xiaoyi was a little curious about who the other people Grandma Tao was talking about. She clearly didn't make any movements. She just sat there with her eyes closed and didn't call anyone over.

But the next second, he understood what this "other person" was.

——Then you are not a human being.
