The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 663: The Journey to the Mountain of Osorrow (16)

"Is it actually King Kong who is temporarily in the lead?" Qian Xiaoyi was staring at the performance of his students below and was a little surprised. He originally thought that the Suzuna siblings and the Guifu Ryuko trio would take the lead.

He murmured, "It seems that King Kong has made greater progress than I thought..."

King Kong's previous method of cultivation was to train himself into a big furnace, constantly burning himself and emitting intense heat, making it difficult for demons and monsters to hurt him. But the disadvantage was that because he was in the furnace, he could not easily sense the situation outside, just like a blind man. If the enemy played a trick on him, he would be doomed. Moreover, because he could not retain the dissipated energy, he could easily fall into a state of suffocation.

And now, under the special training arranged by Qian Xiaoyi, King Kong has finally mastered how to absorb the heat that is constantly overflowing into his own body and become more restrained.

When King Kong really achieved this step, he felt that the world was incomparably clear, just like a person who was accustomed to noise suddenly came to the quiet nature. Even the sound of insects chirping in the distance was so clear in his ears.

Of course, this is only temporary. In Qian Xiaoyi's eyes, King Kong's inspiration is just barely passing, even inferior to Heitaro's.

As for Terao Iku, the symbol on his palm is called the "Curse" Talisman by himself. It is a symbol summarized from studying the "Curse Book" written by Hiruda. According to Qian Xiaoyi's idea, if he really understands the madman's notebook, he may be able to use countless "Curse" Talismans to write an article, which would be considered a great achievement.

But as of now, Terao Iku hasn't figured out even one word, and the symbol on his palm is still incomplete. It can only be said that both he and King Kong are learning by slow and steady methods, which cannot be achieved in a hurry, but the future is promising.

As for the Suzuna siblings and Kito Ryuko... they all used quick methods, so why were they not as good as Terao Yu and Kongo? Qian Xiaoyi was a little confused, so he fixed his eyes on the trio not far below.

"No, no! Haven't you found it yet?" Suzuna looked at Takuya anxiously as he kept searching his backpack and asked, "Don't you have a mask suitable for this occasion, Takuya?"

Takuya took out a demon's [Hannya] mask from his bag and asked, "Is this... okay?"

"What the hell!" Ling Na said helplessly: "Do you want us to kill all those little ghosts? Our goal is to save those guys!"

Takuya stared at them with the [Hannya] mask in his hand and said, "Then kill them! Wear me, Suzuna! Let me devour the souls of those bastard brats! Let me..."

Takuya decisively stuffed the Prajna Noh mask into his bag and took out another Noh mask.

"This is... [Tengu]?" Suzuna said with a "tsk". "This guy has a bad temper and is very greedy. I don't want to be in debt because of such a small matter."

[Tengu] snorted coldly.

Takuya was still rummaging through his backpack, but the backpack had limited capacity, and they only brought a few Noh masks for combat and self-defense this time, and nothing else.

While Takuya was still searching, Suzuna looked at Kidou Ryuko and asked, "Master Kidou, aren't you going to do something? If you don't do anything, we're going to lose the game. Don't you want to go back and drink beer and enjoy the air conditioning? I don't want to feed mosquitoes and do odd jobs on the mountain."

Gui Teng Longguang curled his lips, said nothing, and began to recite Buddhist scriptures silently with his eyes closed.

On the hillside, although he didn't know what happened over there, Qian Xiaoyi could see that the trio seemed to have some internal conflicts because of the poor cooperation. "It is so..." Qian Xiaoyi covered his forehead and shook his head. He guessed the reason. He originally wanted to let Suzuna and Kidou Ryuko form a group so that they could not be lazy. Otherwise, if any of them were to be with people who could do practical things, they would definitely choose a more labor-saving way instead of doing it themselves.

But I didn't expect that even so, they still planned to rely on others.

"Is it because they are reluctant to pay the price?" Qian Xiaoyi thought, "Suzuna needs to bear a debt to use the mask, and Kito is practicing the silent meditation. The longer he keeps his mouth shut, the more powerful the mantra he speaks will be. He doesn't want to waste his accumulated power... But these two idiots don't understand that if you don't use it, you lose it. If they don't use this skill for this reason, then their proficiency will never improve, and it will be in vain."

The story of three monks having no water to drink is perfectly presented in these three people.

Qian Xiaoyi stroked his chin and thought: If we just let them be passive and lazy, the result will definitely be that they are unwilling to pay the price, and this actual combat training will be meaningless.

"Ms. Wei Bo, can you do me a favor? Can you..." Qian Xiaoyi told Wei Bo beside him his request.

"Eh?" Wei Bo was very surprised after hearing Qian Xiaoyi's request and asked, "But if so, won't it cause any danger to them?"

Qian Xiaoyi said: "There is no other way. If there is no pressure, these guys will never use their real abilities. We must force them. Don't worry, I will keep a close eye on them."

"I understand." Since mentor Qian Xiaoyi said so, Wei Bo said no more. She knelt on the ground, closed her eyes, and a special aura began to emanate from her body, as if she was communicating with the mountain.

Soon, Qian Xiaoyi felt that Wei Bo seemed to have summoned something out of the mountain. After circling around Wei Bo several times, it entered the barrier.

"What is that?" Qian Xiaoyi asked.

"The spirit of the mountain." Miba replied, "It is a special existence in Mount Osorezan. We serve the gods and have made a contract with Mount Osorezan, so we can ask for help from this mountain to a certain extent."

"It's really magical..." Qian Xiaoyi suddenly realized that it was actually the most primitive kind of belief in mountain gods, which is relatively rare even in China. After all, in the domestic metaphysics circle, even mountain gods must be formally organized. These wild gods may have existed in the past, but it is really hard to find them now.

But this is how psychics fight. They are not good at fighting themselves, but they can summon some special beings to help.

Qian Xiaoyi and the others were chatting and laughing while exchanging knowledge about exorcism, but the students below were complaining bitterly. They finally understood the horror of Mount Osorezan: any ordinary ghost that came here would be blessed by the site and become extremely difficult to deal with.

While complaining and arguing, the Suzuna trio noticed the changes in their surroundings.

"...Takuya, Master Kitano." Suzuna looked around and said a little scared: "Have you noticed that there seem to be more ghosts around us?"
