The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 694: The Journey to the Mountain of Osorrow (47)

The Osorezan Festival ended in an inexplicable way. Even the police drove up in the middle of the night, which made people wonder if some accident had occurred.

The guests who were supposed to watch the ceremony had no idea what was going on with this year's Osorezan Festival. Some guests who had connections went to their acquaintances to ask, and it took a lot of effort to get a reason - a dried corpse was found at the festival site, so the evening festival was urgently terminated.

Fortunately, it was just a mummy and not a fresh corpse, otherwise who knows how the story would spread. The guests staying at the temple were arranged to rest in their rooms, and the temple said that their accommodation fees would be refunded to them.

As for the inner courtyard, by the time the police arrived, the exorcists had already woken up, and none of them admitted that they had fainted. They only said that they immediately called the police after discovering the mummy, and did not mention anything else.

"You're lying!" Kawasaki said angrily. "It was me who informed the temple staff and they called the police! And I saw them faint after I got there! You all saw it, right? That scene!"

In the room, Inuyama Heita comforted him, "Forget it, Senior. If something like this happens, those exorcists will definitely not tell outsiders. After all, this is obviously an accident. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if they told others?"

"Oh, it's okay." Kawasaki sneered, "I have evidence. When I went in, I took a good video. I'll send the video out... Hmm? What's going on!!!"

Kawasaki searched the video in his handheld camera in a daze, but he couldn't find anything he had filmed before! He murmured, "I clearly filmed it! Why is it gone? Where is the video?"

Inuyama Heita remembered that the camera was returned to Kawasaki by Suzuki when she went out. So, it is very likely that Suzuki deleted it when she picked it up to avoid exposing her own existence. It must be said that she did a great job.

Inuyama Heita said, "Isn't there a situation like that? You took a photo or video of a ghost, but when you opened the tape, you found that you didn't see anything? Maybe this is that kind of situation, a supernatural event. Congratulations, senior, you finally encountered a real supernatural event for the first time."

"I don't want this to be my first time!" Kawasaki yelled, "Give me back my video!"

Sato, a member lying on his side, yawned and said, "Fortunately, it wasn't filmed. If it was, it might become a cursed video that says 'you'll die seven days after watching it'. Yawn~ Go to sleep quickly, it's already late."

Since they knew that the people in the yard were not dead but just fainted, the high school students in the Supernatural Department did not have any trauma. After all, they had encountered strange things in the White Fox Village, and it was not a rare thing to encounter it again in Osorezan. There were just people lying on the ground, and there was not even a ghost to be seen.

On the other side, Qian Xiaoyi and his team had been fighting hard for half the night, and it was already dawn after they finished dealing with the aftermath. They took the bus down the mountain and returned to the hotel the next morning, enjoying the long-lost air conditioning and network signal, as well as the soft beds, and had a good sleep.

Because the matter was resolved smoothly, everyone ordered a table of delicious food in the hotel that night, intending to reward themselves and enjoy the last day of the trip.

But before that, Qian Xiaoyi had an important thing to do. He carried a fruit basket, came to the ward of the town hospital and knocked on the door.

In the ward, Wei Bo was sitting in front of the bed peeling an apple, while Granny Tao was sitting on the bed in good health. Although she looked a little weak, she was in good spirits.

"Hey, grandma, you look good." Qian Xiaoyi greeted her, "You didn't forget me, did you?"

"Not this time, and it won't happen again in the future." Granny Tao looked at Qian Xiaoyi with a smile and said, "Thanks to you this time, Mr. Qian." "Yes." Qian Xiaoyi complained, "You really should thank me this time."

He put the fruit basket on the table, took out an apple, sat on a chair nearby, rubbed the apple on his body casually and started to eat it.

"So you bought it for yourself?" Wei Bo couldn't help but complain.

Qian Xiaoyi said, "Japanese fruit is really expensive. I'd feel like I'm missing out if I don't try a bite. Anyway, grandma won't mind, right?"

"Eat, eat. You brought it here." Granny Tao smiled, then she suddenly remembered something. Her expression became serious and she asked, "Mr. Qian, I have something to ask you... How did you deal with my master's body?"

Qian Xiaoyi said, "What else can we do? We just had it burned and purified. I also did some follow-up work to prevent the zombie from coming out to harm people again. Even if the existence inside that thing has been eliminated, this zombie alone can still cause harm to a certain area, so we must deal with it before the zombie's self-awareness awakens."

"Burned it..." Granny Tao was in a trance for a while, as if she couldn't accept this fact. After a while, she finally let go of her obsession and said with a wry smile: "It's good to burn it. Finally, this matter is completely resolved... It seems that I don't have to worry about it so much in the future."

Qian Xiaoyi said, "Enjoy your old age. You already have an outstanding disciple, don't you?"

Speaking of this, Granny Tao quickly came out of her lost mood. She nodded and looked at Wei Bo with relief: "Yes, that's absolutely right... People shouldn't always be immersed in the past, otherwise they won't be able to create a better future. And the future of my dojo has already appeared."

Wei Bo said somewhat dejectedly: "Granny, my practice is far from enough."

What happened at the end of yesterday still left a deep feeling of powerlessness in Wei Bo's heart. She hated the feeling of wanting to change something but being unable to do anything.

"You can practice at any time." Granny Tao held Wei Bo's hand and said, "But life is gone if you miss it. Human life is limited. Only by valuing the present can you avoid wasting precious life... Alas, when people get old, they always like to talk about big principles, regardless of whether others are willing to listen or not... Wei Bo, the dojo will be handed over to you from now on, and it's time for me to retire."

"Master..." Wei Bo sighed and felt a little nervous. She didn't know if she could live up to the name of Granny Tao.

At this time, Qian Xiaoyi asked, "Speaking of which, after this incident, your dojo will probably be excluded by other forces in Mount Osorius, right?"

Wei Bo fell silent after hearing this. What Granny Tao did was indeed very serious, and their dojo would definitely become the target of public criticism.

"Yes, after all, it was my mistake." Granny Tao said calmly, "In the end, it's all about reputation and profit, so I will shut those people up and give them what they want. This is the last thing I can do for the dojo... There's no need to talk about such boring things. I also know why you are here, so, let's talk about your reward, Mr. Qian."
