The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 661: The Journey to the Mountain of Osorrow (14)

The terrain here is very flat, and there are no dangerous things around, such as boiling hot springs or cliffs. It is also some distance away from the woods. Qian Xiaoyi nodded, which means that this is indeed a relatively safe place as Wei Bo said.

In the cognitive school of thought, the dangers in the ghost realm often correspond to various environmental threats in reality. The more dangerous the place is, the more terrifying the ghost realm formed will be.

"Ksitigarbha who guards the naughty boy?" King Kong was a little confused: "What does this mean?"

Suzuna looked at the piles of rocks in the barrier and said, "Maybe there's something in there?"

Wei Bo smiled and said, "You will know once you go in."

She pulled up the shimenaka rope so that everyone could get in by bending down slightly.

It was not until they entered the flat ground that everyone understood what Miha meant. The inside and outside of the Shimenawa barrier were two completely different places. They could not feel anything outside, but once inside, they immediately heard the laughter and whispers of children, as well as malicious eyes. It seemed that the barrier set up by the Shimenawa isolated the things inside.

Many short shadows poked their heads out from behind the piles of rocks in the distance, looked at them viciously and sneered.

Qian Xiaoyi sighed in his heart: "If Ajian was here and saw this scene, he would definitely be very happy, right?"

Ling Na shuddered: "These... kids, why are they looking at us like that? It feels like the aura from them is not that peaceful."

Miba explained, "This is a place dedicated to commemorating those abandoned children. They have enough reasons to resent their parents and the world. The reason why the Shimenawa ropes and the Jizo statue are set up is to attract them in and prevent them from escaping. In this way, Jizo-sama can purify their evil thoughts."

Terao Yu stroked his chin and said, "But it seems that the evil thoughts in them have not been purified."

Wei Bo said: "It takes time to calm down the resentment. Children are innocent, but their malice is also the purest. There is no reason, it is just pure malice, so it is more difficult to resolve than ordinary vengeful spirits."

Qian Xiaoyi agreed: "Yes, that's right."

He understood this well. There were still a few little devils in the office that he hadn't gotten rid of yet. Those guys were just naughty in front of him, but if they ran to a place where he couldn't control them, they would become harmful.

Upon hearing this, an exorcist laughed and said, "So, our special training today is to exorcise the vengeful spirits of these children and make them become Buddhas? Hahaha, it doesn't sound like a difficult task."

You have to know that they are not new exorcists, but experienced people who have worked in the industry for a long time. Could it be that they can't deal with these little guys?
"That's right, you underestimate us!"

"Hahaha, it's just an infant spirit. It's nothing compared to the evil spirits I destroyed before."

"It's a piece of cake. It's far inferior to those monsters like Baigui."

Seeing how confident everyone was, Qian Xiaoyi noticed a smile on Wei Bo's lips.

"I'm afraid these guys are going to suffer~" Qian Xiaoyi thought with glee, fearing that Shan would teach them a lesson.

Miba continued, "Because this is the first day of actual combat training, we thought of having everyone come from the lowest level special spiritual field on Mount Osorezan... One more thing to note, your goal today is to try to transcend and purify the resentment of these children, not to eliminate them, is that okay?"

"Of course~" an exorcist said, "We are not rookies anymore. If we kill these spirits carelessly, we will be tainted with resentment and karma. There is no need to emphasize this point. Everyone knows it."

"Yeah, yeah, let's get started."

"The sooner we can help these little guys here to be liberated, the sooner we can go back to sleep."

Wei Bo said, "Okay, please wait a moment, we will start soon."

As she spoke, she started preparing something with the other disciples of the dojo.

"As expected, Mount Osore is really powerful. This place is just the lowest level?" King Kong came to Qian Xiaoyi and asked, "Mr. Qian, what should we do next?" The others also gathered around Qian Xiaoyi, looking at him eagerly. Only they knew that this special training was definitely not that simple, otherwise Qian Xiaoyi would not have brought them here.

"Our overall goal remains unchanged." Qian Xiaoyi said, "We are still going to save those little ghosts, but since this is a special training, we have to add one more rule."

He raised a finger and said, "How about a team battle?"

"Team battle?" Terao Yu asked, "Are you saying that we should form a team and compete with each other?"

Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Yes, it's interesting, isn't it? It's a competition to see who can find and save more little ghosts. Also, since it's a battle, I allow you to use some means to hinder the other team as long as it doesn't affect their lives."

King Kong was somewhat interested and said with a smile: "It sounds very interesting! It feels a bit like the competition between you and Master Gui Teng last year, Mr. Qian."

Talking about what happened last year, Gui Teng coughed twice and felt a little embarrassed. This King Kong kept talking about things that were not relevant.

Terao Yu said: "Since it is a competition, is there a reward for the winner? Or a punishment for the loser?"

Suzuna said uneasily, "Don't mention such things!"

She felt that Qian Xiaoyi would definitely give the loser an unbearable punishment.

"Of course there are." Qian Xiaoyi shrugged, "But it's not necessarily a punishment or reward. It's just a small incentive mechanism to prevent some people from being passive and lazy."

He stared at Suzuna.

Suzuna looked to the side with uneasiness in her eyes. She was indeed thinking about whether she should slack off later. After all, it was a team competition. If the team won, she would win.

"What is it?" King Kong asked curiously.

Qian Xiaoyi said, "The winner can go back to the hotel to rest tomorrow, go to the restaurant to eat, drink beer, enjoy the air conditioning, and enjoy the convenience of the Internet. The loser will stay here and train with other exorcists."

"Ahhhh! I don't want it!" Suzuna shook Takuya madly and shouted, "I must win! Do you hear me! Takuya! I don't want to burn wood, cook, and clean like a village girl."

"Hey!" Shenneng Mariko, who was not far away, glared at him: "Who are you calling a country girl?"

Takuya sighed helplessly.

"Although I don't mind practicing here..." King Kong stroked his chin and said, "But it's not bad to be able to go back and drink beer."

Terao Yu sneered, "It doesn't matter. With the new power I got, I won't lose."

Gui Teng Longguang lowered his head and twirled the Buddhist beads.

After the rules were established and the groups were decided, Wei Bo was also ready.

All the disciples of the dojo left the range of the Shimenawa, as if this protected place was about to turn into a dangerous place.

Wei Bo himself held a ribbon in both hands and walked slowly to the statue of Jizo, as solemnly as if it were some kind of ceremony.

"After that, please work hard and put what you have learned during this period into practice." Wei Bo smiled mysteriously: "The game of hide and seek is about to begin."

As she spoke, she covered the eyes of the stone statue of Jizo with the ribbon.
