Seeing Gen Tsuchimikado kneeling in front of him, Jason was taken aback.
In the 'city that never sleeps', there is no rule of surrender or death.
The best enemy is a dead enemy—this is the truest rule of 'City That Never Sleeps'.
Jason has always believed in such rules.
Can…
Isn't it a pity that a 'cow' that keeps producing milk is killed like this
The old monk of Tongshou Temple noticed Jason's hesitation.
As a former street swindler, the old monk of Tongshou Temple may not have other abilities, but he is quite good at observing words and expressions. Just by looking at him, he can understand what Jason is hesitating about.
"'Onmyoji' has the 'Pancotyledonus Seal', and takes the 'Seal' as an oath, and will not betray."
"Furthermore, the blood of Tsuchiyamen predestined them to do what they say."
The old monk of Tongshou Temple explained to Jason while complimenting Tsuchimikadomoto.
It is not that simple to survive in the society in front of you.
lick one
too naive!
If you lick one, it's really licking a dog!
But I am different!
I lick a thousand!
I am God of War!
The old monk of Tongshou Temple with the belief in self-life looked indifferently and calmly at Tuyumen Moto who was kneeling there.
This Tsuchimikado is also very straightforward.
Sealed without hesitation—
After biting off his thumb and bleeding out, he drew a pentagram-like formation on the ground in front of Jason.
"The bellflower imprint is the main one!"
"Heian capital's cloud deputy!"
"The door root of the Yin-Yang Liao!"
"I, Tu Yumen, regard the man in front of me, Jason, as the master. He will never betray him forever, and he will be his minister for life and life."
The Tsuchimikado made the oath in a chant.
Immediately, the bellflower prints on the ground lit up with brilliance.
Eventually, the brilliance dissipated.
A mark appeared on the back of Tsuchimikadomoto's hand.
At the same time, Jason could clearly perceive the existence of Tsuchimikadomoto in his heart.
You can also sense Tsuchimikado's emotions.
The emotions at the moment are respect and fear.
"Is it like a contract?"
Jason guessed according to his own ideas.
Then, he asked directly.
"Can you summon the previous 'Ghost River'?"
"Yes, my lord."
"As long as the weather is right, I can arrange it in advance, and it can be summoned, but... that is not the real 'Ghost River', it can only be regarded as a projection of its tributaries."
Facing Jason's inquiry, Moto Tsuchimikado didn't hide anything.
"Tributary? Projection?"
Jason is interested.
"Yes, the real 'Ghost River' doesn't exist in this world at all."
"It's closer to the legendary place 'Yellow Spring'!"
"There are rumors that the 'Oni River' used to be a tributary of the 'Santu River', but because of a certain demon's rebellion, it was captured and thrown out of the 'Yellow Spring', forming the 'Oni River' we see now. '."
Tsuchimikadomoto replied.
"'Oni nogawa' is a tributary of 'Santugawa'... Suck."
Jason's eyes lit up and he took a deep breath.
He is hungry.
[Swallowing 'Oni no Kawa. False' (a large amount)]
[Excess recovery of physical strength, energy, and injuries!]
[Saturation +400]
[Saturation: 1468]
…
This is what he just gained.
Without the 'excitement of food', the degree of satiety is more than enough.
More importantly: not dangerous!
Perhaps for ordinary people, entering 'Ghost River. False' is a dead end.
But for Jason, that kind of corrosion couldn't even break the skin.
Moreover, this is only a tributary projection.
What if it's the real 'Oni no Kawa'
What if it was the 'Santugawa River' that the 'Onigawa' used to be attached to
Thinking of this, Jason's heart was burning.
"How to get to 'Santu River'?"
Jason asked directly.
"My lord, that's where only the dead can go!"
"If the living enter there, they will definitely suffer catastrophe!"
"Different from the present world, if you approach the 'Hell Spring'... death is bound to follow you everywhere."
Tsuchimikadomoto persuaded Jason with a solemn expression.
"It's not just that."
"The present world has long been closed to legendary places such as 'Yellow Spring'."
"Once connected again, it will be the end."
"The 'demons' there are not those who linger in this world, but the real monsters."
The old monk of Tongshou Temple also spoke.
He was persuading Jason.
The old monk of Tongshou Temple was full of guilt when he handed over the flag with the word 'Wei' to the other party just now.
He didn't want anything to happen to Jason.
Jason frowned slightly.
He really wanted to taste the taste of 'Santuchuan', but he was cautious by nature and knew very well the consequences of recklessness.
So he put the idea on hold for now.
began to turn to ask.
"What about 'Oni no Kawa'?"
Hearing Jason's question, Moto Tsuchimikado breathed a sigh of relief.
He just tied Kikyo seal to serve Jason, but he didn't want anything to happen to Jason.
If Jason died, he would also suffer greatly.
Even, simply death.
This is totally unacceptable to Tsuchimikadomoto.
He is also afraid of death.
"The real 'Oni River' can be visited through 'Heian-kyo'—every year on the full moon of 'Prosperous Moon', 'Heian-kyo' will be open, and anyone with an invitation letter can go there."
Tsuchimikadomoto said.
"Invitation card?"
Jason frowned.
At this time, the old monk of Tongshou Temple stood up again.
"Master Tongshou Temple, your invitation letter."
The old monk of Tongshou Temple handed Jason an invitation letter with a gold border and a black body.
Since he took the blame for him, he must give benefits.
The old monk of Tongshou Temple understood.
After Jason received the invitation letter, the old monk immediately dragged Jason to the corner of the courtyard.
Tsuchimikadomoto was not surprised by this.
The rumored 'Tongshou Temple' is a rather strange temple.
Every master is not from the 'Tongshou Temple', but the previous master set up a series of tests, and the one who passes is selected as the new master of the 'Tongshou Temple'.
His lord must be the test target chosen by the previous Tong Shousi.
Now
Of course it passed.
Naturally, there are more things to discuss.
Including but not limited to legacy.
This is a good thing.
Thinking of this, Moto Tsuchimikado turned his head to look at Hui Lijing and Ryosuke.
"It's still a while before dawn."
"Do you two need a break or refreshment?"
Tsuchimikado Moto smiled kindly, making the already handsome face even more handsome.
It also made Ryosuke feel even more unreal.
Why can we sit down and have tea together now that we were enemies before
Is this the 'mystery side'
Can…
Thinking of something, Ryosuke hesitated a little.
"Iwashita and Ichiro Aoki..."
"not me."
"I didn't make a move."
"Even if they deserve it."
Tsuchimikado denied it.
Looking at the handsome man in front of him, Ryosuke frowned.
Perhaps, as the other party said, it was not the other party who made the move.
But it must be under the guidance of the other party.
But what if he knew
Let alone whether there is any evidence.
Judging from the courtyard where the other party lives, that Podocarpus pine tree alone is his salary for ten years. Such wealth...
Ah.
Ryosuke chuckled lightly.
"There's no need for refreshments."
"I am a person who recognizes the bed, and I can't sleep in another place."
"Leave first."
After Ryosuke finished speaking, he walked out of the courtyard.
There, a servant had already been waiting for a long time.
Following the servant, Ryosuke walked out of the courtyard, rejected the servant's request to continue seeing him off, and Ryosuke strode forward.
He didn't even glance at the courtyard behind him.
He was afraid that he could not help but say something excessive.
He is not alone after all.
He also has a younger sister to support.
If he dies, his sister... can't live either.
It can only be out of sight and out of mind.
Sure enough, I am similar to those bastards.
Ryosuke smiled to himself.
Then-
Snapped!
He slapped himself hard.
"It hurts."
Ryosuke murmured, and then looked around.
"Have you reached the mountain yet?"
"Should I walk back on foot?"
Ryosuke regretted rejecting the servant just now.
However, he still didn't look back, just walked like this, walking down against the mountain wind.
…
"I'd like some hot tea."
"Then, is there Dou Dafu?"
Hui Lijing didn't have Ryosuke's entanglement anymore.
She immediately reported what she wanted to eat now.
"certainly."
Tsuchimikadomoto waved his hand immediately.
In less than a minute, a small tea table appeared in front of Hui Lijing.
There are three bean daifu in a delicate small bowl on it, and the hot tea is cooked by a tea art master.
The whole process is pleasing to the eye.
But Hui Lijing didn't look at this at all, but looked at Jason and the old monk of Tongshou Temple from time to time. It's just that she, who was always sharp and sharp, couldn't hear their conversation at all.
According to this distance, it should not be.
"This is a kind of secret technique."
"It's kind of a trick."
"However, it is rare for a monk like Tong... Tongshou Temple to cultivate to this level."
Tsuchimikado Moto saw Hui Lijing's doubts and explained for her.
As for the old monk of Tongshou Temple, the old master was thrown away, and only the original name was kept—this was because he didn't know the old monk's original name, otherwise he should be called by his real name at this time.
In Tuyumen Moto's view, his master should be the master of 'Tongshouji'.
"So it is!"
Hui Lijing's eyes lit up again.
She is full of curiosity about that world.
Now I am more and more curious.
Especially watching the conversation between Jason and the old monk of Tongshou Temple, she wished she could take on Jason's role.
Obtain the inheritance of Tongshou Temple.
Then, thank the old monk.
Then, facing her sincerely, the old monk took out the real profound teachings and passed them on to her.
She was grateful and thanked again and again.
Afterwards, she rose rapidly relying on such esoteric principles, but her foundation was still superficial, and she was seriously injured by someone's conspiracy. The old monk appeared again and saved her life, and immediately passed on her skills.
It's just that the old monk passed away after passing on the practice.
She's taking revenge!
Soon, after her revenge was successful, she became the real number one in the world.
Moreover, she was proud of an era and became a true legend.
so good!
Hui Lijing sighed.
But in fact—
"sorry."
"terribly sorry."
"forgive me."
In the corner, the old monk of Tongshou Temple apologized three times.
Then, before Jason could speak, the old monk of Tongshou Temple spoke up.
"I am willing to make up for it!"
"How to compensate?"
Jason looked at the old monk who blamed him with an unfriendly expression.
He didn't know what happened, but if the old monk in front of him didn't give him a reasonable explanation, he didn't mind letting him feel the fragrance of the soil after being buried deeply.
"As I just said."
"Everything in Tongshou Temple is yours."
"Including but not limited to inheritance, props, etc."
The old monk of Tongshou Temple said apologetically.
He knew very well what kind of danger his selfishness would bring to Jason.
but!
He really has no choice!
He doesn't want to die!
He had long wanted to hand over the 'Tongshou Temple'.
But until now, I still struggle to support it, that is, I am afraid that the entrustment will not be human.
He was afraid of being sorry for the fake monk.
Therefore, he gritted his teeth and insisted, and he didn't want to hand over 'Tong Shou Temple' casually!
Until I just met Jason.
First, Jason is very strong.
He couldn't see how strong he was, but at least he was stronger than him, and he was also stronger than that Tsuchimikadomoto.
It's nothing that he's an ant.
But Tu Yumen Yuan has quite a reputation.
But facing Jason, Moto Tsuchimikado didn't even dare to resist.
This is enough to explain the problem.
Give the 'Tong Shou Temple' to the other party, at least you can protect yourself.
Second, character.
Facing the pursuit of 'ghosts', being able to stand up without hesitation and break the back for them is already admirable.
Later, when faced with the "bet" between him and Moto Tsuchimikado, he gave him help without hesitation, which made him feel the courage and kindness of Jason.
Maybe not very talkative.
But the heart is hot.
People who are cold on the outside and hot on the inside are generally not too bad.
Third, identity.
He had heard of Jason's identity as an 'exorcist'.
Comes from the 'mysterious side' itself, no need to adapt to the 'mysterious side'.
The chances of survival are greatly increased.
Really is the best thing.
Not bad in strength, not bad in character, and adaptable, this is the 'successor' he has been looking for.
So, whenever he had the chance, he dumped the pot.
And if you get rid of the pot, you will naturally have to make up for it.
Not just everything in the 'Tongshou Temple'.
In the view of the old monk of Tongshou Temple, Jason deserves it. After all, as long as Jason inherits 'Tongshou Temple', everything in 'Tongshou Temple' should belong to Jason.
Therefore, he had to express his apology in his own way.
The corresponding secret technique teaching
That's as it should be.
The fake monks did the same thing back then.
Corresponding props to teach
It is also the same.
After putting aside these things, the old monk of Tongshou Temple found that there was not much he could do.
After much deliberation, the old monk of Tongshou Temple thought of a way.
When he was still a wanderer, he often used this method to thank people.
It's just... that's when it's time to wander.
Now it is different.
But in a short time, the old monk of Tongshou Temple who really couldn't think of it could only choose this method.
call!
After taking a deep breath, the old monk of Tongshou Temple said in a nervous and ashamed tone——
"Otherwise... shall I treat you to dinner?"
