The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 667: The Journey to the Mountain of Osorrow (20)

However, in the end, neither team won. One team got into trouble that they couldn't handle, while the other team couldn't control their own strength and went berserk, causing trouble for their fellow team members.

In this situation, Qian Xiaoyi could only announce that both sides had to stay and help with the chores in the dojo, which made Lingnai miserable.

"Woo woo woo... My network, my signal, my single bedroom and the air conditioner..." Her face was distorted. She didn't expect that even if she was in debt, she still lost the game and couldn't go back to the hotel to rest. It was really a failure.

As for the matter of salvation, in order to make up for the trouble caused by his own students, Qian Xiaoyi had to step in and help other exorcists to save the souls of the vengeful spirits gathered here. It was almost dawn, and then everyone returned to the Taoist temple with sore backs and dizziness, and fell asleep.

In the afternoon, Qian Xiaoyi, led by a disciple of the dojo, walked through all the special places near the dojo with a map, but still did not find anything unusual...

No, that shouldn't be said, because of the special nature of Mount Osore, it should be said that all places are abnormal, there is no normal place, and often Jizo is needed to suppress the special aura there. Every place has its own weirdness.

But because there were too many anomalies, Qian Xiaoyi had no idea what Jingde had done here or what he had left behind. It was like a tree hidden in the forest, leaving him with no clue where to start.

"What exactly did she forget?" Qian Xiaoyi sat on the steps in the yard, looking at the people working not far away, thinking hard.

"Oh, young man, what are you doing sitting here? Are you troubled by something?"

Qian Xiaoyi was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't notice someone coming up to him. He turned around and saw Granny Tao with her hands behind her back, bending over, looking at him with concern, like a grandmother looking at her grandson, with a smile on her face.

Qian Xiaoyi said unhappily: "Mother-in-law, I was just thinking about the commission you asked me to give me."

He was thinking hard here, and you, the client, actually came to ask him what he was thinking about? Qian Xiaoyi was really a little amused, but there was nothing he could do, because the old man had a bad memory.
"Ah? Did I ask you for something?" Granny Tao said with a smile on her face, "I'm so sorry, maybe I'm getting old and confused, sometimes I always forget what I said to others... If it's something unimportant, then forget it."

Although the client said so, how could Qian Xiaoyi give up? He said helplessly: "Mother-in-law, that is not something unimportant. On the contrary, it is something you said yourself, which is very important."

"Is that so?" Granny Tao showed a surprised expression: "Is it actually very important? That's strange... Although I am easily confused and always repeat the same things... But if it is something important, why did I forget it? It should be deeply remembered in my mind, it's really strange... Speaking of important things, by the way, isn't it time for afternoon tea?"

She murmured, seemingly forgetting that he was talking to someone, and walked towards the lounge on her own.

"What time is it now?" Qian Xiaoyi felt helpless and amused. He had forgotten many things, but he couldn't forget afternoon tea...

Suddenly, Qian Xiaoyi had an idea: "Wait! Even if someone has Alzheimer's disease, they will remember some important things. For example, some elderly people will go out to pick up their grandchildren from school, even if their grandchildren have graduated from school for many years... If it is really an important thing, how could she forget it?"

Qian Xiaoyi stood up suddenly, walked past Lingnai and others who were working, and walked past them.

Ling Na, who was burning a fire with black marks all over her face, turned around curiously and asked, "Mr. Qian, what happened?"

King Kong, who was holding firewood in his arms, shook his head blankly: "I don't know, maybe he has diarrhea. Mr. Qian has a bad stomach."

Qian Xiaoyi found Wei Bo and asked directly: "Ms. Wei Bo, when did Granny Tao start to like afternoon tea?" This person was the person who had followed Granny Tao for the longest time. If she didn't know, no one else would know either.

Wei Bo didn't understand why Qian Xiaoyi suddenly came to her to ask about this, but she still answered: "Afternoon tea? It started a long time ago, right? When I first came to the dojo, my mother-in-law did this. It seems to be a tradition of our dojo."

"Tradition? That's it! Tradition!" Qian Xiaoyi's eyes lit up, and he finally figured out what he had overlooked. He asked, "If it's tradition... when you first came to the dojo, were there other people there?"

"No." Wei Bo shook his head: "I am grandma's first disciple. She seemed to have just returned from traveling outside and inherited the dojo not long ago, and then she began to recruit disciples."

Qian Xiaoyi asked, "That is to say... you have never met Granny Tao's master? The original owner of this temple? Did she mention this matter?"

Miba shook her head again: "This... it seems not. Granny never mentioned this matter to us disciples. We only know that the dojo has a long history and has been around for hundreds of years. But it didn't seem to be called Naraku Dojo before. It was changed after Granny Momo inherited it."

Qian Xiaoyi's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he became more and more certain that his idea was correct - the matter that Grandma Tao entrusted him with was exactly related to Grandma Tao's master.

"Everyone says that the most important thing to Granny Tao is her family, but she never mentioned her master..." Qian Xiaoyi murmured, "It should be the most important thing, but she forgot it."

Qian Xiaoyi remembered that Wei Bo once said that many of the disciples in this dojo were sent here because of poor family conditions and physical conditions. So is it the same for Granny Tao? So she and her master should have a very close relationship, just like Ms. Wei Bo and Granny Tao herself.

There must be something wrong!

After Qian Xiaoyi thanked Wei Bo, he left under the other's puzzled look.

He came to the lounge again. Granny Tao was holding a cup of tea, and a disciple was taking care of her. When Granny Tao saw Qian Xiaoyi, she greeted him warmly: "Hey, are you a guest? Please take a seat. It's time for tea now."

"Granny Tao, I know what important thing you are looking for." Qian Xiaoyi said directly.

Granny Tao also looked at him with a puzzled expression: "What important thing? Did I lose the key to my house? Thank you so much..."

Qian Xiaoyi ignored Granny Tao who was confused again, and stared at her and said, "Granny, do you still remember what your master looks like?"

"Master? My master?" Granny Tao was at a loss, but the word "Master" seemed to evoke certain memories deep in her heart.

"Oh right... my master, how could I forget... where is my master? Where is she? I... I want to go find her."

Granny Tao looked ahead with confused eyes, stood up tremblingly, and walked slowly outside step by step, not even hearing the calls of her disciples beside her.
