The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 791: Enemy in Honnoji Part 10 ()

After a fierce fight among themselves, the gathering of vengeful spirits finally lay there motionless, and Terao Yu came up to the monster and took out another notebook.

He held an open notebook in one hand and stabbed the gathering of vengeful spirits with a brush in the other hand, then pulled it out, bringing out a stream of black ink-like liquid. While the brush was still connected to the ink, Terao Iku began to write rapidly on the blank pages of the notebook. Like a siphon effect, the black ink was continuously drawn out of the gathering of vengeful spirits' bodies and written on the notebook. The gathering of vengeful spirits' volume continued to shrink until it completely disappeared and turned into ghostly drawings on the notebook.

Looking at a page full of horrific graffiti, Terao Yu nodded in satisfaction: "Just right."

He transformed the resentment of the gathering of evil spirits into spell words and stored them in a notebook.

After putting away the notebook, Terao Yu shouted to the people around him: "Did you see it? This is my new powerful strength! This is the power of spells! I am the man who will become the king of spellcasters!"

The exorcists around him couldn't understand his operation and thought it was no different from ordinary exorcism methods.

"What are you so proud of, you goth guy!"

"It's just a vengeful spirit. I just drew a spell on it and sealed it."

"That's right, I thought you had some magical tricks, but it's just the same as what we usually do."

"And you were chased by that thing for so long. I think you almost ran out of energy."

Terao Yu was so angry that his face turned red. He subconsciously imitated what Qian Xiaoyi had said and retorted randomly: "The spell of a sorcerer... is not ordinary at all! The spell of a sorcerer, can it be called a spell? And I was not being chased, I was... strategically moving!"

The exorcists laughed happily.

Just when Terao Yu was about to turn red, Qian Xiaoyi directly gave him some strength.

"Hey, stop chatting, over there, Terao."

Someone reminded him.

Terao Ikuya suddenly felt an extremely dangerous aura and the sound of a baby crying.

He looked back and saw that a man holding a hammer had appeared in the arena at some point. His body was broken and twisted, his face was covered in blood, and he showed his white teeth to Terao Yu.

"The hammer killer." Qian Xiaoyi said, "He went crazy and killed several people before jumping off a building to commit suicide. He is one of the stronger evil spirits that have been attracted here in the past two days."

Terao Yu also realized Qian Xiaoyi's intention. He wanted him to shut up and not show off the matter of the "Curse Book".

"I understand, Mr. Qian." Terao Yu murmured, "I will astound them with my strength!"

He opened the notebook that was full of scribbles and selected a page. The handwriting on it was extremely wild and powerful, and it could be seen through the paper. Terao Iku stretched out his hand, and the strange words on it began to deform. Then, Terao Iku pulled out a black one-handed axe from the page out of thin air, and the notebook became blank.

"【Spell: Rage Axe】." Terao Yu said, "Feel this pure rage!"

He rushed forward and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the hammer killer. A round of ping-pong fighting began, and it turned out that they were evenly matched.

Qian Xiaoyi observed the battle situation and commented in his mind: "The combat level is a mess... Never mind, he has only been exposed to this field for a short time, and it is good enough that he has studied it to this extent. Anyway, his mission is not to face the enemy head-on."

"How is the operation of this Rebirth Ksitigarbha?" Xingchangrang came over and asked. Qian Xiaoyi leaned against the railing, watching the performance below, and said: "It is very stable. Mr. Ashiya knows this thing very well, so there will be no mistakes."

"Really? That's great." Xingba Rang said this, but there was no joy on his face.

Qian Xiaoyi asked, "How is it going over there? Has the activation of the Rebirth Ksitigarbha caused any impact on the Yellow Spring House?"

Xingchang Rang said, "I was just checking with the old man, and we haven't found any loopholes yet, so it should be fine."

"Where is the old man? Didn't he come with you?" Qian Xiaoyi asked.

"He's receiving guests at the entrance bar." Xingba Rang answered.

The two looked at each other and pretended to look towards the arena as if nothing had happened. They originally wanted to find an excuse to look for the secret of Huangquan House. As of now, although they haven't found anything, the plan is going well. All that's left is to investigate carefully.

Just when they seemed to be watching the game attentively, Xingchang calmly took out an emerald green leaf, held it in the palm of his hand, rubbed it slightly, and the leaf immediately emitted a green glow.

"Start the action, I will cover you here." Xingchangrang's voice reached Qian Xiaoyi's ears.

Qian Xiaoyi nodded, stretched himself, and then took out a purple talisman from his bag as if no one was around. He shook it casually, and a tattered oil-paper umbrella appeared in his hand.

Qian Xiaoyi held up the broken umbrella. Under the umbrella, it seemed as if it had turned into a dark night. Even the floating lanterns inside the restaurant could not illuminate the world within the umbrella.

"I'll go take a look." Qian Xiaoyi took out another yellow talisman and handed it to Xingchang Rang, saying, "I'll leave it to you."

Xingba said: "Don't get caught."

Qian Xiaoyi smiled and replied: "If we are discovered, if old man Ashiya is not a traitor, then I will be fine. If he is a traitor, then you will know it."

He held an umbrella and left the area. No one noticed Qian Xiaoyi's departure.

After Qian Xiaoyi left, another Qian Xiaoyi next to Xing Changrang still maintained the posture of leaning against the railing, watching the actual training below. Xing Changrang chatted with Qian Xiaoyi from time to time and gave some comments.

The real Qian Xiaoyi held an umbrella and walked through the crowd, even passing by King Kong and Heitaro, but they ignored him.

Holding an umbrella in one hand and a compass in the other, he came to a blank wall. After confirming again and again that this was the place, Qian Xiaoyi put a yellow talisman on himself, took a step forward, and actually walked straight through the wall, as if the wall itself did not exist.

After passing through the wall, Qian Xiaoyi was enveloped in pitch darkness, but the world under the tattered oil-paper umbrella was not affected by the darkness at all. Although the world under the umbrella was also dark, it was not completely invisible. If one had to describe it, the darkness around him was like ink, while the darkness under the umbrella was more like walking in the dark at night, with still some light.

"The direction is correct. This is very classical..." Qian Xiaoyi stared at the compass. As far as he knew, there were similar places in some ancient fairy mountains and historical sites. This was very close to what Ashiya Yoshisuke said, that the manufacturing method of Huangquan House was passed down from the Ashiya family.

It is said that the Ashiya family's izakaya already existed in Edogawa during the Edo period, and it even evolved into an urban legend that has been passed down to this day. I'm afraid that the foundation of Yomiuri-ya is built on this cognition, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the property of the Ashiya family.

But Qian Xiaoyi still felt that he should see it with his own eyes to see what it was like.

So he followed the guidance of the compass and walked towards the dark distance.
