The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 662: The Journey to the Mountain of Osorrow (15)

"She blindfolded...Jizang?"

The experienced exorcists on the scene immediately began to realize what was about to happen.

The moment the ribbon covered the eyes of the statue, everyone noticed the changes in the barrier. The terrifying aura of Mount Ore at night suddenly rushed in from outside, pressing on everyone and making them breathless.

The resentful laughter of the children around them immediately became louder, as if they had discovered something fun. Just like pouring boiling water on an ant nest, they showed the most innocent cruelty and malice.

Only then did the exorcists realize that this barrier was not meant to prevent things from outside from coming in, but to prevent people inside from leaving. The thing that truly suppressed the spirits inside was the Ksitigarbha statue. But now, the eyes of the master of this world who was looking after the naughty boy were blindfolded and he could not see.

An exorcist suddenly laughed: "Everyone, don't let the mediums here look down on you. They are just some weak spirits, not evil spirits. Don't act like that. Cheer up! Let's...ah! It hurts!"

Just as he said this, he was hit on the head by a stone. The exorcist covered his head and looked back, but only saw a shadow disappearing behind a pile of stones.

“Can’t sense it?” The exorcist widened his eyes.

Miha walked past him with a smile on her face, and said, "Mount Osorezan is not like any other place. Don't underestimate the aura here. It is only a thin line away from the spirit world. If you don't make use of what you have learned during this period, even some weak infant spirits can make you run around in circles. Remember, the rule is not to hurt them."

As she spoke, she walked towards the outside world. In the eyes of the exorcist, Wei Bo's figure gradually faded and slowly disappeared.

The exorcist's face turned red. He had just finished saying some cool words and wanted to gain leadership among the crowd, but he was teased by those little ghosts. It was really embarrassing. He could only grit his teeth and pray that he would catch the little thing that attacked him later, and then... uh, save it.

"Hahaha~ Really useless~" another companion patted his shoulder and teased, "Stop talking nonsense and start quickly. Otherwise, with so many of us, it would be even more embarrassing if we still haven't finished the salvation by dawn."

A group of exorcists began to use their inspiration to sense these little guys. Under the pressure of the terrifying aura of Mount Osoror, they really seemed to be playing hide-and-seek, running around behind various stone piles with a smile on their faces. They were very difficult to catch. The venue here was not simple either. Those large and small stone piles with windmills inserted in them were like some kind of formation, blocking their perception.

For a time, the exorcists were in a state of panic, as the number of cases where they failed to perform a ritual of salvation and were instead mocked continued to increase.

On the hillside outside the barrier, Qian Xiaoyi stood beside Wei Bo and watched the people playing hide-and-seek in the stone maze below. With the bright moonlight, he could see everyone's movements. He thought: "It's obvious that I just blindfolded Jizo's eyes, and the ghost domain was formed naturally. It's worthy of being one of the three major sacred places in Japan. I don't know what kind of experiment Jingde did here..."

"It seems that the foundation of these students is still not solid enough." Wei Bo said regretfully: "I have also heard about the Hundred Ghosts. They are a group of dangerous guys. If they are not stopped, the whole of Japan will surely suffer a disaster. But this is the best we can do in the short term. If we want to learn the skills of Granny Tao, it is not something that can be accomplished overnight." Qian Xiaoyi folded his arms and looked down, saying: "It is very good that you who live in the mountains are willing to lend a hand. The talents of these people are not bad. They can be recognized by Mr. Ashiya and become real exorcists without a complete system inheritance. It is the best proof. They just need some time to adapt."

"Indeed." Wei Bo nodded, then moved his gaze to two groups of people who were completely different from the others in the field, and asked: "I have inquired, Mr. Qian, your students seemed to be about the same strength as our students in the dojo before, why do they seem...more powerful now? Is there any special teaching method?"

Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said, "It's nothing special. As you can see, I only have a few students, so I can have enough time to make tailor-made plans for each of them. However, your dojo has dozens of people at a time, so I can't take care of everyone."

"So that's how it is." Wei Bo smiled and said, "Although Mr. Qian is very young, he is very experienced. He is just like a reliable elder."

Qian Xiaoyi complained: "There's nothing I can do. These guys are too troublesome. If I don't pay more attention, they will kill themselves..."

While the two people were chatting on the uphill, the exorcist below had gone crazy with killing. Although those little ghosts had no killing power and at most could throw stones, trip your feet, and do some similar pranks, they were really slippery and were worthy of being the naughty kids that needed Jizo to guard over.

"King Kong! Be careful!" Terao Iku shouted.

"Oh!" King Kong stretched out his hand without looking back and accurately pulled out a baby spirit from behind a rotating windmill. The baby was fluttering and kicking in his hand, and its sharp teeth bit King Kong's arm, but it didn't hurt and almost broke its teeth.

"I caught you. Don't move, little guy." King Kong grinned and said gently, "We will bear the resentment you have. We are sorry for not letting you enjoy this world... Ayu, I leave it to you."

"Understood." Terao Yu took off his tattoo sleeve, revealing his palm, and whispered incomprehensible words to the baby spirit.

Strands of black air continuously emerged from the body of the infant spirit, poured into the palm of Terao Yu, and formed a messy symbol on his palm that looked uncomfortable. After it was all absorbed, the symbol remained on Terao Yu's palm.

The black air on the infant spirit disappeared, and it shouted "ah, ah" twice at King Kong and Terao Yu, then giggled and slowly dissipated in the wind.

"Got it!" King Kong laughed, "This is the fifth one. The two of us are indeed the strongest combination! I'm sorry to say this, but even if Master Ghost Vine is in another group, we will definitely win."

"Don't speak too soon." Terao Yu said cautiously, "That person has been an exorcist for decades, and his commission completion rate is over 90% Master Gui Teng..."
