"Lin Hezhen!"
Mai Sakurajima grabbed a pillow and threw it at him, but Hayashi Kazuma caught it easily.
"Just kidding, there's no painting, right?"
After washing up, the two took the elevator downstairs. Since the hotel only provided breakfast for one person, they simply checked out and went out to look for some delicious food.
When we arrived at the famous Komachi shopping street, we saw all kinds of shops and stalls selling delicious food lined up in rows.
They ate as they walked around, and bought takoyaki, mushroom tempura, fried tofu sushi rolls, whitebait lasagna, Liancang baked rice cakes, matcha ice cream, Japanese sweets from Yumemiya, pork buns from the time-honored Liancang dim sum, and many other local specialties.
The two of them had a satisfying meal at Komachi Street and did not reluctantly start their journey home until after ten o'clock.
Lin Hezhen sent Sakurajima Mai to the downstairs of the apartment building and said to her, "Go back and rest first, and keep your phone open. I will go to the Smileless Cat to check the situation first. After the preliminary preparations are ready, I will call you to come over."
"Okay." Sakurajima Mai nodded obediently, "Be careful, he is a god after all."
Lin Hezhen laughed: "It's just a little demon. If that is considered a god, there should be hundreds of millions of gods in the Celestial Empire."
It is extremely difficult to become a true god through practicing the Taoism. It is no less difficult than for a cultivator to overcome tribulations and become an immortal. Only people in the island countries would regard monsters as gods, and there are a total of eight million gods.
After saying goodbye to Sakurajima Mai, Hayashi Kazuma sent a similar message to Kato Megumi, and then rode his bike towards the western suburbs of the city where the Unsmiling Cat was.
The closer they got to the hill with tall fir trees, the more Lin Hezhen's brows furrowed.
This area was very different from the last time he came here. The spiritual energy around was very active, even restless.
With a cedar as the center, the entire hill is covered by a dark red barrier. Ordinary people cannot enter and cannot detect any movement inside.
At the top of the mountain, there were signs of a large-scale conflict between spiritual energy and demonic energy. The Unsmiling Cat was probably fighting with a cultivator. The spiritual energy was bloody and ominous, and seemed very evil. It was probably an evil cultivator.
"No matter whether the person who came is good or bad, if Xiaomao is not killed by him, it will be a bit troublesome to solve the problem of Sakurajima Mai."
In fact, even if there was no Unsmiling Cat, Lin Hezhen had other plans, but they would be much more troublesome to implement.
Thinking of this, Lin Hezhen slammed on the brakes to stop the motorcycle, jumped into the air, and cast a spell to fly to the top of the mountain.
Lin Hezhen forced his way into the barrier, which naturally alarmed the barrier's owner and the Unsmiling Cat. They both stopped what they were doing and looked over.
The cat was in a very bad condition, with wounds all over its body, its left eye was blind, its right hind leg was abnormally turned outward, and it was covered in blood. It couldn't even stand steadily, and it was only holding on with one breath. If Lin Hezhen hadn't suddenly barged in, it would probably have been killed by its opponent in no time.
Looking at the monk fighting against the Unsmiling Cat, Lin Hezhen was very surprised to find that the opponent was actually a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old.
She was tall with attractive curves, wearing a sailor suit, with long straight black hair that fell like a waterfall, skin as white as cream, and a beautiful face, with a murderous look between her eyebrows.
The girl held a katana in her hand. The blade was dark red and exuded an ominous aura. Drops of blood dripped from the blade, and the plants stained with blood withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Back off!" the girl shouted angrily, "The Yin Yang Bureau is performing official duties, everyone else please stay away!"
"Onmyoji?" Lin Hezhen was a little surprised.
Judging from the name, this seems to be an official management organization for practitioners. I didn't expect that there is actually a practice school passed down in this world, and it has even become an official organization.
"Whose family are you from? How come you don't even know about the Onmyoji Bureau?" The girl frowned.
She looked Lin Hezhen up and down. He looked to be about the same age as her and seemed to have just started practicing. He looked unfamiliar and did not look like the son of a practicing family.
Even the Yin-Yang Bureau doesn’t know about it. Could it be that he is just a lucky and casual cultivator who accidentally obtained the inheritance?
The girl was disdainful in her heart. She ignored Lin Hezhen and rushed towards the Unsmiling Cat with a knife, and started fighting with it again.
"Wait, you can't kill it, it's still useful." Lin Hezhen hurriedly stopped him.
However, the girl didn't care about him at all. Her spiritual power surged and her sword slashed out wind blades, heading straight for the Unsmiling Cat.
Although she is young, her cultivation has reached the late stage of Qi training, and she is also a sword practitioner who specializes in killing. Buxiaomao had been injured by Lin Hezhen before, and now he is no match for her at all and immediately fell into a disadvantage.
"stop!"
Lin Hezhen used the power of his Nascent Soul, and an overwhelming spiritual pressure swept across the entire hill, blowing the Unsmiling Cat away more than ten meters.
The girl also retreated repeatedly and had to stop and use her sword to resist the pressure with all her strength.
She was shocked. This man looked so young, but his cultivation was so high!
Chapter 51 Kamo Ayame
"Who are you? Are you going to be the enemy of the Onmyoji Bureau by protecting this monster?" the girl scolded.
"My name is Lin Hezhen, and I'm a casual cultivator. I don't know what the Onmyoji Bureau is, but the Unsmiling Cat is useful to me, and you can't touch it." Lin Hezhen jumped into the air and said condescendingly.
"Oh, this cat demon has been using the power of faith to cause trouble recently. It seems like you are behind this?"
"I didn't instruct it to do that. In fact, I was trying to stop it. If you are willing to stop, I can guarantee that it will never collect the power of faith again."
"That sounds nice, but the power of faith is so precious. Would any monster be willing to give up the chance to become a god? Even if you are willing to give up, this cat monster will not give up." The girl sneered.
"I am willing to give up the power of faith, I am willing to give up! I will never collect faith in the name of God again!" The Unsmiling Cat swore to the sky and said firmly.
Just kidding, if I don't agree, not to mention the risk of backlash from the power in Sakurajima Mai, even the woman in front of me will kill it immediately.
The Yin-Yang Bureau is very powerful in the island country. How dare the non-smiling cat provoke it? Only foreign cultivators like Lin Hezhen are not aware of its power. The powerful dragon suppresses the local snake.
Seeing the Unsmiling Cat quickly clinging to the powerful dragon's thigh, the girl frowned. Before coming here, her father told her that she must kill the cat demon.
But after seeing Lin Hezhen's pressure, she estimated that she was no match for Lin Hezhen.
"Do you really want to keep this cat demon?" she asked coldly.
"Of course." Lin Hezhen stood in front of the Unsmiling Cat and refused to give in.
"Huh, do you know who I am?" the girl asked proudly.
"Do I need to know?" Lin Hezhen asked back.
In the world of cultivating immortals, he has seen many such guys. They are nothing more than bragging about their family background or sect, and taking advantage of the power of others.
However, after he achieved the golden elixir, this kind of cerebral palsy was basically no longer seen.
I just heard the girl say.
"My name is Kamo Ayame. My Kamo family is the number one family of Onmyoji in the island country. My father is the current Onmyoji Head of the Onmyoji Bureau, which is the highest organization in charge of all the cultivators in the island country and all the affairs of the Onmyoji world in the island country. How dare you, a mere casual cultivator, become an enemy of the Kamo family and the Onmyoji Bureau? You are really courting death!"
Lin Hezhen said leisurely: "Who is seeking death? You will know if you try. A cultivator must always speak with strength."
"hateful!"
He Mao Ayame was at a loss for what to do when he couldn't scare Lin Hezhen with his family background.
Her father asked her to get rid of the cat demon. She thought it was a simple task, but she hit a wall unexpectedly.
The woman was decisive and she sheathed the knife immediately.
She said coldly: "I hope you can still be so arrogant next time I see you."
After saying that, she turned around, jumped up and down a few times, and left the place and went down the mountain.
Lin Hezhen looked at her back, thoughtfully.
This girl is only sixteen or seventeen years old. In this era when spiritual energy has just been revived, she has already reached the late stage of Qi training. Her talent is indeed good.
From what she said, Onmyoji is the management agency of supernatural affairs in the island country.
Lin Hezhen had long discovered that the problem with Sakurajima Mai was not that simple, and sure enough, it was related to the supernatural organization of the island country.
He just hopes that the Onmyoji Ryoku isn't full of idiots like Kamo Ayame. He also wants to use them to locate his original world so that he can travel back in the future.
At this time, the Unsmiling Cat changed its gigantic combat form, turned back into a kitten, and limped over.
"Thank you very much for this time. If I fall into that woman's hands, not only will I die, but my soul will also be taken away and turned into a shikigami. I will never be able to reincarnate."
"What are you going to do in the future?" Lin Hezhen asked.
The Unsmiling Cat said in confusion: "I don't know either. Anyway, we can't stay in this place anymore. Let's just take it one step at a time."
"What if the Onmyoji continue to hunt you down?"
The Unsmiling Cat sighed and said, "Then we can only fight them. Even if we die, we'll take a few people with us."
Lin Hezhen suggested: "How about this? Sign an equal contract with me and become my spiritual pet for 100 years. During these 100 years, you will be at my service. After the expiration of the contract, you will be free again."
This cat demon is still quite powerful, and there are some things that are not convenient for him to do personally, so it is more convenient to have a spiritual pet to help.
The Unsmiling Cat asked cautiously, "Are you planning to use me as experimental material? Or are you planning to kill me after the contract expires?"
Lin Hezhen shrugged and said, "I'm not that free. If you're worried, just write it all into the contract. We swear to the heavens. That way you'll be relieved."
"I'll think about it." The Cat Who Doesn't Smile has seen too much intrigue and deception in his 100-year life as a cat, so he doesn't dare to trust others easily.
Lin Hezhen handed the slip of paper with his address to the Smiley Cat: "You can take as long as you want to think about it. This is my address. Come find me when you have made up your mind. But today we should first settle the matter of Sakurajima Mai."
"Of course, I will cooperate."
So, the man and the cat began to draw the formation under the huge fir tree.
Chiyoda Ward in the eastern part of Tokyo, together with Minato Ward and Chuo Ward, is known as the "3 city center districts". It is home to various capital functional buildings such as the Imperial Palace, the National Assembly, and the Supreme Court. It is the center of the island nation's politics, administration, and justice.
Kamo Ayame rode in a black luxury car and arrived at the gate of an unknown small shrine in Chiyoda District. She swung her hand and threw forward a gold medal, which turned into a stream of light and flew into the depths of the shrine.
Suddenly, the air in front of him began to ripple like water with a stone thrown into it. A rainbow flashed, and the dilapidated little shrine disappeared. The road in front continued to extend, with a dense forest and several tall, quaint buildings inside.
No one would have thought that in this place where every inch of land is valuable, there is actually such a large building complex hidden. A huge barrier covers the outside, and it is impossible to enter without a guide, so ordinary people can't detect it at all.
This is the core organization that manages supernatural events throughout the island nation - Onmyoji.
Kamo Ayame had a smooth journey and went straight into the office of Yin Yangtou, the highest official in the dormitory.
"I'm sorry, father. On my way to slay the cat demon, I encountered an obstruction from a powerful monk and failed to complete my mission. Please punish me, father."
"A powerful monk? Which family is he from?" asked the elegant middle-aged man sitting behind the huge desk.
"He is not any cultivator my daughter has ever seen. His aura is completely different from our Yin-Yang Dao."
"Could it be that he is a cultivator from the Celestial Empire? Aren't there no more cultivators over there?" The Yin-Yang Head fell into deep thought.
"How strong is he? What magic does he use?" he asked again.
"Please forgive my daughter for her incompetence. His intimidation alone made it completely impossible for me to resist." Hemo Ayame lowered her head deeply.
"When did such a powerful independent cultivator appear in the island country, and our Yin-Yang Bureau was completely unaware of it? Do you know his origins and purpose?"
He Mao Ayame shook her head and said, "My daughter doesn't know, but he must protect the cat demon. My daughter is no match for him."
The Yin-Yang Head frowned and spoke in a very cold tone.
"You know nothing and haven't completed your mission yet, and you're just coming back to report to me? Go to the clan's territory and receive your punishment. Remember, weakness is the original sin, and the Kamo family doesn't keep useless people!"
"Yes, my daughter will take her leave." Hemo Ayame left respectfully and closed the door, but her eyes were cold.
"Lin Hezhen, I will remember you."
Chapter 52: Onmyoji
Hemo Ayame left her father's office with a gloomy face. Her pretty face was covered with frost, like an iceberg that never melts all year round.
However, unlike her cold appearance, her heart was filled with rage as hot as magma, all because this afternoon, Lin Hezhen had snatched her prey from her hands.
Kamo Ayame has been gifted since childhood and has no rivals among her peers. Even among the older generation of Onmyoji, there are no more than two people who are stronger than her.
In addition, she was born into the most famous Onmyoji family in the island country and was designated as the heir at an early age. She grew up in all kinds of flattery from childhood to adulthood.
But today, she was suppressed by a wild boy who appeared out of nowhere.
Lin Hezhen was unable to move just by releasing his aura, and he forcefully snatched her prey away, embarrassing her in front of her father and making her taste defeat for the first time!
How could Kamo Acorus, a genius of his time, have ever suffered such a loss?
She had always treated others like this, and now someone was treating her like this. Humiliation and resentment filled Kamo Ayame's heart.
"Lin He is really right? Don't fall into my hands!" she said viciously.
Hemo Ayame walked to the corner of the stairs and suddenly found someone walking towards him. They were unable to stop in time and bumped into each other instantly.
"Ah!" The other party took a few steps back and stepped on empty air, rolling down the stairs, with the paper documents in his hand scattered all over the floor.
Hemo Ayame reacted quickly enough and adjusted his posture in advance, blocking his chest with his arms and using a lunge to cushion the force, so he was not affected at all.
However, her expression became even more terrifying. Apparently, this accident became the fuse that ignited the explosive pack, and her boiling anger roared out.
"Which department are you from? Don't you use your eyes when you walk?" She stared at the poor man and asked viciously.
Hearing the noise, employees from the Onmyoji Bureau came out from the offices on both sides of the corridor.
A middle-aged man who looked like a section chief said cautiously: "Ms. Kamo, he is a new member of our department. If a young man offends you with his careless behavior, I will punish him severely. I hope you will show some mercy..."
