In the world of Zongman, the ruthless monks just want to play badly

Although it was a little light for him, the spiritual power contained in the blade made up for it. Even ordinary people without extraordinary powers could still harm evil spirits and monsters when holding the Cong Yu Wan.

Of course, for ordinary people, the biggest problem is how to get Cong Yuwan's approval.

Even though Cong Yuwan had been pulled out of the stone by him, this divine sword still had its own little temper. Yumiko and Kita wanted to touch it, but it deliberately dodged them. It can be said that it is very spiritual.

If the sword could be worshipped by the Wangyue family for another few decades, or if a powerful person used spiritual power to temper the sword, it would not be surprising even if a sword spirit was born.

Bai Li played with it for a while, then prepared to insert Cong Yuwan back into the boulder without any reluctance. After all, this was a family heirloom of the Mochizuki Shrine. It was impossible for him to give it to him generously just because he pulled it out.

He is not King Arthur, and Cong Yuwan is not the Sword in the Stone. In the end, everything must be returned to its rightful owner.

However, the divine sword started to throw a tantrum at this moment.

The priestess of the Mochizuki family has been replaced one after another, and hundreds of years have passed, but no one has ever satisfied it.

Cong Yuwan’s requirements are actually very simple. If you want to become its master, you must at least be talented in spiritual practice, right?

Of course, the appearance must also be very beautiful, one in a million, otherwise how can she be worthy of the identity of the Divine Sword?

But the shrine maidens who came to draw the sword were either mediocre in talent or ordinary in appearance.

Or they have mediocre qualifications and ordinary looks.

Now he has finally waited for his destined master, who not only meets his requirements perfectly, but also surpasses them.

Of course it didn't want to leave. The blade trembled violently, making a clear clanging sound, and was reluctant to be inserted into the cold crevice of the stone.

This gesture of resistance makes people inexplicably feel like a child on the first day of kindergarten, reluctant to let go of his mother's clothes.

Seeing this farcical scene, Mochizuki Chiyo sighed:

"Now that you have drawn the divine sword, my distinguished guest, please take it away."

Although it was hard to see the divine sword that had been enshrined for hundreds of years being taken away by a foreign tourist, since the other party had pulled out Cong Yuwan, he was the recognized owner of the divine sword.

The divine sword has a spirit. It is fine before it recognizes its master, but after it recognizes its master, it will never serve anyone else unless the master dies. Even if it continues to be worshipped in the hall, it can only be used as a decoration.

Of course, she can also choose to silence these people and manually format the master recognition program.

But firstly, Mochizuki Chiyo is not a bloodthirsty person who will do anything to kill. Secondly... even if she really chooses to silence the witness, the divine sword is not blind. Wouldn't it be bullying Cong Yuwan to kill its chosen master in front of it?

"Just give it to me like that?" Bai Li raised his eyebrows.

"Once you draw the divine sword, you will be recognized as its master. Even if I disagree, it will find a way to secretly follow you."

Mochizuki Chiyo looked at the Cong Yu Wan in his hand and shook her head. "I just hope that you can treat the Divine Sword well in the future because of its unwavering devotion to you."

I just pulled out a knife, why do you act like you're entrusting your granddaughter to me?

But Baili still nodded, "I will."

Grandma Chiyo smiled kindly and changed the subject: "The Mochizuki Shrine has a rule since ancient times that whoever pulls out the sacred sword becomes its master. However, until now, only shrine maidens with the bloodline of the Mochizuki family have been qualified to pull out the sword."

The reason she brought this up was not because she regretted it, but for another purpose: "I wonder if the distinguished guest is interested in entering into a marriage contract with the Wangyue family?"

"If you agree, you can choose one of the eligible miko maidens as your wife, or you can choose more than one. In the future, the entire shrine will be handed over to you as your heir."

The bloodline of the Mochizuki family is born with a curse and can never give birth to a boy.

For this reason, in order to ensure the continuation of family inheritance, recruiting a son-in-law became the only option.

“Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh?!”

Xiduo's face was filled with horror. This, this, this... could this be the legendary "Catching a Son-in-Law" from the neighboring Celestial Empire?!

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it "catching a son-in-law under the knife"?

Hong Xia and the others looked at Bai Li anxiously, fearing that he would agree immediately.

In Neon, it is very common for wealthy families and tycoons to recruit sons-in-law.

After all, it is difficult to cultivate an outstanding heir, but it is easy to find an excellent son-in-law.

Ordinary people don't have much prejudice against son-in-law, not to mention that the Mochizuki family is almost equivalent to the local tyrants in the town of Hoori. They are not short of money or fame. As long as they agree, they will get both money and beauty.

Among them, Yumiko was the most nervous.

Although she has some strange habits, they are just like Ye Gong's love for cattle.

On the premise of ensuring your status as the "main wife", you can also treat it as a little hobby.

But if you take away her status as the "first wife"...

It's like I share my dinner with you, but you are not satisfied after eating it and even want to take the bowl away. Isn't that too much?

Similarly, young calves are enjoyable, but older calves are harmful to the body.

I can bully people, but you can't really bull people away.

Mochizuki Ayako was a little shy. She secretly glanced at Baili and agreed with her mother-in-law's suggestion in her heart.

Even if he was not chosen, the fact that the shrine had such a handsome and beautiful lord was pleasing to the eyes.

"Let's forget about the son-in-law thing."

Baili shook his head slightly and rejected Grandma Chiyo's proposal.

Even in a traditional world like the cultivation world, he had never experienced arranged marriages. Instead, people often came to propose marriage, but his master flatly rejected them all, saying that he "would not interfere with his disciples' free love."

It's impossible that in the more open 21st century, he would go backwards. Wouldn't it be a waste of his time then?

Grandma Chiyo originally wanted to persuade him a few more times, but seeing Bai Li's look as if "there is no need to talk about this matter", she didn't say anything more in the end.

Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to be a bit stalemate, Xie Liang took the initiative to break the calm.

"Granny Chiyo, what exactly is the evil spirit and how did it appear?"

This is the issue that concerns her most. Xieliang has always been worried that the evil spirit will attack her and her group because she is being punished for not respecting the gods. But now it seems that it is not that simple?

Chapter 76 Then keep beating it!

"This matter can be traced back to the history of Suizhi Town hundreds of years ago."

Grandma Chiyo asked, "You must have heard the legends of the town, right?"

Hong Xia nodded. "Legend has it that the Inugami helped the Mochizuki clan master drive away the daimyo's army... Since the divine sword exists and the Inugami is real, is this really the case? Did the daimyo really send out an army of thousands of men?"

"That was a post-production artistic process. In reality, there weren't that many enemy troops."

Grandma Chiyo shook her head. "Hoori is just a remote town, and the location isn't exactly easy to defend. The daimyo certainly won't mobilize a large army."

In fact, the other side only sent two hundred armored soldiers.

Although most of the armor they wore was animal skin, and most of it was in tatters, not to mention covering their entire bodies, the quality of the weapons in their hands was also uneven.

But facing a group of farmers who were half-naked and could only use hoes and pitchforks as weapons, it was still a dimensionality reduction attack.

If nothing unexpected happened, these two hundred people would be enough to easily capture the town of Hoori. However, a dog god suddenly appeared and launched a sneak attack without any moral ethics.

Letting these soldiers bully malnourished and cowardly farmers is of course their specialty. They burn, kill, loot, and cause chaos everywhere, unscrupulously releasing the dark side of their hearts.

But when facing legendary monsters, they appear very vulnerable.

Even the warrior leading the army, wearing full body armor, was 1.7 meters tall.

Compared with the subordinates beside him, both his equipment and body size are several levels higher.

But when facing the Inugami, who stood at 1.9 meters tall and had muscular body, he was still like a weak child and was split in half at the first sight.

Seeing that their leaders were dead, the army's morale collapsed and everyone was just trying to escape.

In the end, except for a few people who escaped, the rest of the evil soldiers were all killed by the angry Inugami, and the crisis in Suori Town was resolved.

But the Inugami was also exhausted, and after leaving behind the Murasamemaru that helped it kill the enemy, it turned into a point of light and dissipated between heaven and earth.

Among the soldiers who escaped, some reported to the daimyo what had happened in Hoori Town.

The daimyo was furious, but he was still afraid of the legendary monster, and the matter was eventually left unresolved.

Peace should have been restored in Suizhi Town, but perhaps because the Inugami was too murderous, the soldiers killed by it continued to hold grudges and turned into evil spirits, continuing to harass this land.

In desperation, the head of the Mochizuki family had to build a shrine and, with the help of Cong Yuwan's power, shoulder the mission of expelling the evil spirits for generations.

"But why would the evil god target us?"

Xie Liang was puzzled.

It is very clear at this point that Suishin and Inugami are enemies. There is no need to stand up for Inugami. There must be other reasons for attacking them.

Regarding this, Grandma Chiyo was also a little puzzled. She frowned and thought for a long time before she slowly said:

"Perhaps, they are not targeting you, but this distinguished guest."

The distinguished guest she was referring to was of course Bai Li.

Compared with ordinary people, the evil spirits do prefer to attack those who possess spiritual power. If the former are just simple meals, the latter are luxurious feasts, which are not only more delicious but also more nutritious.

But this is just speculation. What if the evil spirit is actually attracted by beauty?

After all, they are a group of monsters made up of resentment. Their actions cannot be judged by common sense, so it is not surprising that there is any logic in their behavior.

"There are still some vacant rooms in the shrine. If you don't mind, you can stay here. It should help you avoid being attacked by the evil spirit again."

"During this period, I will also lead the priestesses up the mountain to exorcise as many evil spirits as possible. I believe this should keep them away for a while."

Grandma Chiyo has a very decisive personality. She must have been a hot-tempered shrine maiden when she was young.

"Is there no permanent solution?" Hong Xia couldn't help but ask.

"No."

Grandma Chiyo sighed and felt helpless about this.

Evil spirits are monsters born from resentment. As long as the resentment persists, even if they are temporarily exorcised, they will come back again soon.

Resentment will not dissipate with the passage of time, but will only grow stronger.

Just like a ghost who died unjustly will not be able to achieve enlightenment and reincarnate peacefully just because he has been dead for a long enough time.

To eliminate the resentment, you have to fulfill their obsession, but the obsession of the evil gods is to take revenge on Hoori, so this is an unsolvable knot.

It is naturally impossible for the Mochizuki Shrine to help take revenge on its own family in order to eliminate the resentment of the evil gods.

What's the difference between this and hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting yourself by ten thousand?

There is no other way but to go up the mountain regularly to exorcise the evil spirits, just like a diligent gardener clearing weeds in the yard, and not giving them a chance to grow.
