I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 176: Dharma, Heaven and Earth
The scene in the brothel was far from the joyful and lively scene of that day. There were no longer customers leaning against the railings on the top of the building with prostitutes in their arms, drinking and singing. The prostitutes were probably hiding in the girls' quarters to rest, so the outside seemed extremely cold and deserted.

The wooden railings and paper doors that were damaged by the cassock hanging a few days ago have long been repaired. In the corridor on the first floor, there is only a young servant with a squirrel head and wearing green clothes, who is walking with a wooden tray in his arms.

The door that was kicked open suddenly frightened him so much that he trembled. He stared blankly at Dong Yeyu who walked in and looked around. He wanted to scold him first, but he felt the breath like a mountain or an abyss. A big monster? !

The squirrel's heart skipped a beat.

He recalled the discussion in the courtyard a few days ago about the fox monster who had killed Jiashaxuan. Both the prostitutes and the servants were wondering whether that monster would come back to cause trouble.

The person who just kicked the door open has bad intentions. I'm afraid he is that person.

Hurry up to meet him.

"Sir, our Chunxiangyuan is closed for the past few days--"

Dong Yeyu glanced at the little demon and said coldly, "I am not here to have fun. Where is your madam? Ask her to come out and see me."

Squirrel Head didn't dare to be rude, he knelt on the floor and bowed his head and answered: "Mama-san is away on a business trip."

Going far away? With that madam's personality, would she risk going out of the Monster City?

Maybe he knew I would come and hid in some corner of the Monster City in advance.

After all, Hishizawa Monster Market is so big, with the aura of tens of thousands of monsters mixed together. It is unlikely that you will find it if you just go into any store.

It's quite cunning.

Dong Ye Yu thought to himself, but he was not ready to give up.

Although this brothel is in Lingze Monster Market, and I can neither kill the monsters nor do too much damage, but since I'm here, I have to extort something before leaving, otherwise where can I put my face as a big monster?
"The monk may escape, but the temple cannot. Who is in charge of your courtyard now?"

"Your Excellency, the Oiran Yiji is hosting the event."

"Then ask her to come see me and tell her that she is here to settle the score for the fox that killed Jiashaxuan four days ago."

After saying this, Dong Yeyu reminded him, "Remember to make her hurry up, my patience is limited."

The squirrel was stunned, but didn't dare to refuse. "Well, I'll ask Yiji to come out and greet you."

After saying that, he stood up, bowed towards Dong Ye Yu, took small steps back, then turned around and ran a few steps. His green clothes fluttered down, and he turned into a red-haired squirrel, climbing up the pillar, and soon disappeared behind the railing on the fourth floor.

Soon, the courtesan Yiji, wearing a gorgeous dress with intricate patterns, her face painted pale white, willow-leaf eyebrows, a Hyogo bun, a tortoise-shell hairpin and various gold and silver hair accessories on her head, came over from the other end of the corridor in small steps.

Unlike ordinary prostitutes, Yiji had three pairs of tortoise-shell hairpins on the front and back of her hair - ordinary prostitutes could only wear one pair.

The squirrel-headed servant led the way with a small lantern.

Behind him were two petite bald men with fox heads, wearing orange-red peach-branch kimonos.

The bald ones, or underage girls without hair, are the exclusive maids of the oiran. While serving the oiran, they also learn "industry knowledge" from her. They look like two little red foxes.

Several people came in front of Dong Ye Yu and saluted.

The squirrel bowed its head and held the lantern, while the two little red fox maids looked curiously at the great monster of the same species in front of them, and Yiji smiled and complimented.

"A few days ago, you fought with that cassock and killed him easily, eliminating a scourge for Taoxiang. You also went to the fairyland with six other lords to slay demons and monsters, earning the reputation of the Seven Righteous Men. I have heard of you and admired you for a long time, but I have never had the chance to meet you. Now that I have seen you, you are truly a peerless talent."

Dong Yeyu glanced at the courtesan and said, "The madam of your brothel ran away, so they asked you to come out and kneel down to apologize?"

Yiji smiled helplessly: "I came here voluntarily to plead my case to you, my Lord. I was adopted by Mama-san when I was young, and she taught me well and never forced me to do anything. She has been very kind to me. Besides, Wenxiangyuan is also my home. If I don't come here, who else can I count on?"

"Sir, this is not a place to entertain distinguished guests. Please do me the honor of visiting my room. Madam Sang left a message before she left, and she will give you a satisfactory explanation."

Dong Ye Yu was not afraid that they were cheating, so he nodded slightly. Squirrel Head quickly led the way and brought them to an elegantly decorated Japanese-style room on the fourth floor.

After taking their seats, the two sat opposite each other across a rosewood table. Two little red fox maids knelt behind Yiji, lowering their heads very respectfully.

Yi Ji gracefully pushed a cup of tea in front of Dongye Yu with both hands, her words were full of ancient charm and her voice was soft.

"A few days ago, Mama-san and some monsters in the courtyard, under the pressure of the cassock, offended you, my Lord. I am here to apologize to you on her behalf."

Having said that, he left the table, knelt down and bowed to Dongye Yu.

The madam doesn't show up, and makes the courtesan kneel down. It's not the courtesan who offends me, so this is not acceptable.

Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. Although Dong Yeyu is determined to take revenge, he has his own principles. He nodded and said, "Go on."

Seeing that he didn't let her get up, Yiji didn't get angry. She lay on the floor, her round and perky buttocks clearly visible under the brocade kimono, and she explained softly.

"That demon is terrifying. Although he is a frequent visitor to Wenxiangyuan, he is narrow-minded and vindictive. He slandered the adults a lot during the banquet. If Mama-san does not cater to him, it will be considered an offense to him, and then Wenxiangyuan will not be able to continue to operate."

"If we leave Wenxiangyuan, we will be expelled from the Monster City. If we are found by the monster, our life or death will be uncertain. We are forced to make a living and have no choice but to follow the thief. I hope you can understand."

I heard that your madam and her pimp entertained the monk with great fanfare that night, celebrating and laughing so hard that their faces almost broke. Yi Ji, on the other hand, remained silent at the table and just accompanied him.

Dong Yeyu looked calm, "Stand up, I can understand, but I don't know what your sincerity is?"

"Thank you, sir."

Yiji stood up quickly and signaled to the two maids behind her. They immediately stood up, bowed, turned around and went out. Not long after, they came in carrying a wooden tray containing five strings of sacred money and a letter.

Yiji took the plate, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Dongye Yu with both hands.

"Before leaving, Mama-san guessed that the master might come to visit, so she wrote a letter, offering five thousand gold coins to make peace with the master."

The divine money is different from the copper coins in the mortal world. In addition, the Hishizawa demon market is located in a remote area and is not as prosperous as the demon market in Heian-kyo. Even if big monsters come to drink and have fun, they will not spend money lavishly. Five strings of divine money are not a small amount of money for such a medium-sized brothel.

I opened the letter and took a look at it. It was nothing but some corny apologies.

The other party was very pretentious, but Dongye Yu still hated this kind of person in his heart.

He says one thing in front of you and another behind your back. As soon as he sees something is wrong, he immediately slides down to his knees, more slippery than a loach. If a reasonable person comes here, he will probably just accept the apology after facing this series of attacks.

Dong Yeyu was a reasonable person in his previous life, but he always felt that he was at a disadvantage for being reasonable. Now that he has become a monster in this life, he doesn't want to be reasonable anymore, especially when facing the sluts like the madam and the pimp of Wenxiangyuan.

Dong Yeyu tapped his fingers on the table for a while, thought for a moment, observed this Japanese-style room belonging to Yiji's boudoir, saw the dress design drawings and some textile tools on the desk, and asked: "Do you like textiles?"

"like."

Yiji smiled and nodded: "I have liked those beautiful dresses and gorgeous brocades since I was a child, but I had a lot to learn when I was young and didn't have much energy. After becoming an oiran, I had a lot of free time. When I was bored on weekdays, I started to learn weaving and designing dresses."

Dong Yeyu nodded thoughtfully, his eyes falling on Yiji's face: "I know the owner of a shop called Zhi in Xishi. You should pack up and leave this brothel and go there to be an apprentice."

As a great monster, it is more than enough for me to recommend an oiran to be an apprentice in his shop.

If the money tree of Wenxiangyuan is stolen, the madam will lose more than five thousand gold.
As for whether Yiji, who is used to a life of having everything provided for her, is willing to work, this is not a problem for me, a fox, to consider.

As the saying goes, good medicine tastes bitter, honest advice is unpleasant to the ears, and entertaining people with sex is ultimately not the right way.

Yu has always been kind and generous, and loves to save people from danger. I believe she will understand her painstaking efforts in the future.

Dong Yeyu's tone could not be disobeyed. When Yi Ji heard that, her smile disappeared immediately and she looked stunned.

After successfully persuading the man to become a good person and receiving five strings of cash, Dong Ye Yu left the Monster Market in a happy mood and set off on his journey home under a sky full of stars.

It was around 10pm when we returned to Xiaoli Hot Spring Hotel. There were not many people in the corridor. A few demon hunters who had just finished their bath came over and saw Dong Yeyu. They saluted and said, "Mr. Dong Ye."

After the battle that day, some demon hunters rested in the hot spring hotel and then left for home. There were not many demon hunters left here.

This demon-hunting operation was a big loss for the Kanto demon-hunting community.

No less than ten demon hunters and shikigami were killed or injured, both young and old. Most of them were killed without a complete body, leaving only some items and tattered clothes. Their bodies were eaten by demons.

Nobuaki Jinguji and others who were separated in the white fog were captured by the Uda family, who used evil methods to rob them of their energy and cultivation, providing the final help for Uda Kagemasa's ascension to godhood.

However, perhaps because Uda Kagemasa wanted them to witness the moment of his ascension to godhood, he did not kill them but only imprisoned them in the shrine.

Later, Higashino Yu summoned thunder to kill Ueda Kagemasa, and the deity's throne was destroyed at that time. If Yuanjun had not used magic weapon to stabilize the fairyland that was about to collapse, Taoxiang might have become a legend.

After regaining control of the fairyland, Yuanjun immediately returned to the Hishizawa Shrine to rescue the imprisoned demon hunters. At that time, almost all of them were weak and no different from elderly and seriously ill mortals.

Because he was too weak, he did not choose to go back to a large hospital in Tokyo for treatment. At this time, he was basically recuperating in Inzai City Hospital.

However, judging from their blood and qi deficiency, it is certain that their lifespan will be greatly reduced.

As for the other demon hunters and demons of the Ueda family, they were basically all caught in one fell swoop.

After regaining control of the fairyland, Hishizawa Water God Yuanjun immediately sealed off the fairyland and directly attacked the Ueda family and all the demons. Under the wrath of the real water god, no one survived.

Although Yuanjun looks like a virtuous royal lady in human form, her original form is a dragon, and a dragon that is about to be promoted to the level of earthly immortal.

Once a dragon gets angry, no one can stop it.

Of course, no one tried to persuade them, and many demon hunters basically turned a blind eye to it. They probably hoped that the water god would be more cruel.

After this, the Uda family, a family of demon hunters that had dominated Inzai for hundreds of years, would probably be uprooted, and all their accumulation over thousands of years would be lost in one day.

I can only say that sometimes choice is far more important than hard work.

Dong Ye Yu sighed, returned to his room, and began to comprehend his newly acquired magical powers.

That day in Li Township, I consumed a Demonic Thunder Flag and received two gratitude rewards, both of which were rated B+, and the rewards were two spells.

The secret of avoiding fire and the laws of heaven and earth.

Both are very powerful spells, belonging to the Disha spell and the Tiangang spell respectively.

Let’s talk about the fire-avoiding technique first. It can avoid all fires in the world, except for Laozi’s Six Ding Divine Fire, but the famous Samadhi True Fire cannot break it.

Later in Journey to the West, Red Boy used the Samadhi Fire to burn the Monkey King. If it weren't for the aftereffects of his Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils caused by the smoke, there would probably be no need to ask for help from Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the Monkey King would have been able to kill him alone without any injury.

It can be said that if you master this spell, it will be easy to get something out of trouble.

Then there is the ability to control the heaven and earth, which is even more amazing. It allows the caster to transform into the heaven and earth, imitating the scale of the heaven and earth, being as tall as the sky and as wide as the earth. It is a skill that can be as high as the heaven and earth, and is a great supernatural power.

Among the characters in Journey to the West, the only ones who are clearly recorded as knowing this magic are probably Patriarch Bodhi, Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen.

The Bull Demon King doesn't count. He changed to eight hundred feet in length, which was just his original form, and was far inferior to his ten thousand feet body.

However, although these two spells are powerful, they are also difficult to practice.

The Fire Avoidance Art is fine, but Dong Yeyu has not yet fully comprehended this Art after obtaining it, and has not yet started to practice it.

Just then, there was a knock on the glass shoji door facing the courtyard.

When the door was opened, two little monsters wearing conical hats and light grey kimonos appeared, with large sleeves tied up with white shoulder straps. They looked quite capable, but were very small, even shorter than the Hobbits, only about half a meter tall.

They carried three stacked lacquer food boxes in a sedan chair. When they saw Dong Ye Yu, they bowed and held up a small wooden sign.

"Sir, these are the pastries you bought in my store. They have arrived. Please sign for them after counting them."

After the inventory, just as they were sent away, two more little monsters came, also carrying lacquer food boxes.

This continued until the room was filled with dozens of boxes of various pastries and a box of spirit wine.

The money spent on buying these things and the clothes is not even as much as the five thousand gold coins obtained from Wenxiangyuan today. The several dozen strings of cash obtained from selling the cassock are still in Taodong's house and have not been touched for the time being.

Dongye Yu was not planning to spend all the money at once, but asked Taodong to pay attention to what goods and magical weapons were available in the Hishizawa Monster City every week and write down the list and send it to him.

I thought that if I came across a magic weapon or spiritual object that I liked in the future, I would write her a letter and ask her to buy it for me, and then the store would send a little monster to deliver it to Tokyo.
