The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 657: The Journey to the Mountain of Osorrow (10)

After getting several amulets of different shapes, Kawasaki and his companions left contentedly, saying that they were going to ask a medium to summon Einstein and Oda Nobunaga, but they didn't know if they would be beaten to death.

Qian Xiaoyi didn't bother to care about that guy. He just put the extra money into his pocket with a smile.

Although Qian Xiaoyi tricked Kawasaki into buying a bunch of magical instruments for self-defense, those instruments were all real materials, but the effects were different from what Qian Xiaoyi said.

Those magical instruments were actually made by Qian Xiaoyi himself, or imported from Xingchang. Kawasaki thought that after buying those things, he wouldn't have to be afraid even if he summoned any evil spirits or resentful ghosts in the future, because the other party couldn't hurt him.

But in fact, those protective magic weapons do not work in this way. The most likely possibility is that even if Kawasaki really follows all the steps, he will not be able to summon anything.

"That kid, don't even think about encountering ghosts or the Nobel Prize in the future... Ha~" Qian Xiaoyi showed a sinister smile. In addition, he lied to Kawasaki, saying that many exorcists were unwilling to take out their hidden treasures, and Qian Xiaoyi needed to persuade him again, so he asked him to come back in a few days.

According to Qian Xiaoyi, it is a rare opportunity to have so many genuine exorcists gathered together. You have to know that you won’t be so lucky next time and encounter such a situation.

As a second-generation rich man, Kawasaki took the bait immediately. Qian Xiaoyi had known about the psychic club from Inuyama Heita and Suzuki. Just by looking at the many expensive fakes collected in the psychic club's activity room, he knew that Kawasaki definitely had a collecting habit. If he didn't collect all the different amulets, Kawasaki might regret it for the rest of his life.

Compared to the fake goods in the room, what's wrong with selling him some real goods at a high price? Qian Xiaoyi felt no guilt at all about this. It would be best if he could empty the boy's pocket money so that he couldn't commit suicide again.

"Okay, next it's time to investigate Granny Tao's commission." Qian Xiaoyi nodded with satisfaction and was about to look for Granny Tao's disciples, but he saw the exorcists entering the Taoist temple talking and laughing after cleaning up the dishes.

Qian Xiaoyi grabbed an exorcist and asked, "What are you doing? Are you practicing?"

The exorcist replied, "What kind of practice is that? It's rest! Granny Tao said that we must take an hour-long nap at noon every day. Having fun, exercising well, and resting well are the secrets of their school!"

"So their style is actually the Kame-sen-ryu?" Qian Xiaoyi complained mercilessly.

"Who cares?" The exorcist replied, "It's good to be able to rest. I was really exhausted from working this morning."

As he said that, he entered the dojo, lay down on the mat and began to take a nap.

The dojo was suddenly packed with people, and there were even a few large fans that were shaking their heads and blowing air crazily.

Terao Yu came over and asked, "Teacher Qian, what are we going to do next?"

Qian Xiaoyi thought for a moment and said, "Today, let's experience the practice of the dojo with the others. Now let's go and rest."

Except for Suzuna and her brother who ran out to shoot a video, everyone else had a good sleep in the dojo until they were woken up at two in the afternoon.

King Kong scratched his belly and said in surprise: "After working, I took a good nap. I felt really refreshed. What are we going to do in the afternoon? Still working?"

The exorcist nearby explained, "It's too hot in the afternoon to work. In addition to those on shift who need to prepare food for the evening, the others need to go to the nearby mountains and rivers to meditate and sense the special aura of Mount Osoror."

King Kong nodded: "So that's how it is. It does have the meaning of hard training." Led by the disciples of the temple, the exorcists went to the quiet mountains and forests nearby, found a place for themselves, and began to practice inspiration.

Qian Xiaoyi was thoughtful. After working hard for a whole morning and having a good sleep, both physical and mental fatigue were eliminated. At this time, practicing can be said to be twice the result with half the effort. It can be seen that although Granny Tao's mental state is worrying, she is really good at teaching her disciples.

However, he would not participate in this kind of practice. For psychics with weak foundations, this kind of practice might have a good effect, but for him, it was of no use.

So he decided to start investigating the commission that Granny Momo had mentioned. First, he found Granny Momo's niece, Naraku Hanako, and began to understand Granny Momo's situation.

As the person who has always taken care of Granny Momo, Naraku Hanako may be the person who knows Granny Momo best in the world.

"Eh? Are you asking about Granny Peach?" After hearing Qian Xiaoyi's request, Naraku Huazi nodded: "I see. If you have any questions, just ask. I will try my best to answer you... The first question is? About what Granny Peach values?"

After Naraku Hanako thought for a moment, she answered uncertainly, "Nap? Afternoon tea? And Yokan?"

"It's too ordinary!" Qian Xiaoyi couldn't help but say, he even suspected that Naraku Huazi was joking.

Naraku Hanako said awkwardly: "Sorry... Speaking of this issue, my most profound impression should be this. My mother-in-law is really obsessed with taking a nap and having afternoon tea with yokan..."

Qian Xiaoyi asked helplessly: "Is there a more... solemn answer?"

Naraku Hanako said, "Something more solemn? Actually, after becoming a little forgetful, Granny Momo doesn't care that much about many things anymore. If you have to say what she values... I think this dojo should be one of them."

Qian Xiaoyi nodded, finally giving a more serious answer. He said, "Well, after all, this dojo is her home, so she will definitely value it."

But obviously, the answer is not this, otherwise even if Granny Tao was suffering from Alzheimer's, she would not let him go to find something right under his feet, so the answer must be something that is beyond their sight.

"Besides that?" Qian Xiaoyi asked, "Anything else? For example, does she have any relatives like a lover or a son who are still alive?"

Naraku Hanako replied: "My mother-in-law has never been married, so she has no children."

According to Naraku Hanako, the shrine maiden from Mt. Osore needs to "marry" the mountain god. In other words, in theory, she is the wife of the mountain god, so she has the ability to summon spirits through Mt. Osore.

Although in modern times, this is no longer a rule that needs to be strictly followed, and it is okay to get married secretly. However, as the most powerful and pious witch, Granny Tao did not violate this rule, but lived alone until the end of her life.

Naraku Hanako is the daughter of Granny Momo's younger brother. She came back to help run the dojo after Granny Momo had some difficulties in life. In less than ten years, she is actually married and has a son who is still in school.

"No?" Qian Xiaoyi murmured, "Then what is it that she values? Is it a disciple? A treasure? A spirit?"

Unable to find any clues for the time being, he decided to walk around the dojo and ask other people.
