Text: Chapter 33: The Book of War
Abe Shuang looked at me with a worried face and said, "Mengsang, you're in big trouble!"
I wondered, "What's the trouble?"
Abe Shuang: "He will definitely come back to you! It's all my fault, if it weren't for me, Mengsang wouldn't have anything to do with them, I'm sorry for causing you trouble!" With that, he stood up and bowed deeply to us.
I waved my hand, leaking an indifferent expression, and while stuffing the sashimi with a big gulp, I responded to her, "It's okay, anyway, there are more people who want to trouble me, and he is not one of them." Ouch, this mustard choked me to death!"
Abe said anxiously: "Mengsang, don't take it lightly! The one who was angry with you just now is the descendant of the Ashiya Michiman family who has been fighting with our family for generations, Yuta Ashiya. Their family's power is all over Kyoto, and they have intricate relationships with many big demons, so they are not an ordinary character!"
Me: "He, except that face is a little scary, doesn't feel like there's anything wrong with me." ”
Seeing that I was indifferent, Abe explained anxiously: "Yuta Ashiya only inherited the position of head of the family because of his status as the eldest son, and his own spiritual ability does not pose a threat, but you know, his younger brother Jiro Ashiya is the top 50 master in the last global spiritual exchange meeting!"
Me: "Global Psilocy?"
Xiao Wai explained: "The Global Spiritual Exchange Conference is like a martial arts conference in the world, where every once in a while, some young talents from various countries are selected to conduct Taoist research and exchange. ”
Me: "Why don't I know about this?"
Xiao Ai: "Do you know Taoism?"
Me: "This...... No, it won't. ”
Xiao Wai: "That's it." You know, what's the use?"
Me: "......"
The thirteenth princess said with a smile: "Brother Meng, when you were in the last exchange meeting, you were not a bad guy, so you didn't receive a notice. ”
So that's the case, I was relieved: "Okay, so that's it, at that time, I was still an out-and-out dick, so it was only natural that no one informed me." ”
Xiao Ai: "It's not like it is now." ”
I didn't argue with Xiao Ai, turned around and comforted Abe Shuang, who was anxiously stamping his feet, and said, "Okay, Miss Abeshuang, you don't always want to be angry with others and destroy your own prestige." If he dares to come to me, I don't mind scolding him again. ”
Foreign Taoist: "He is the kind of person, and I don't like to scold him with dirty words." ”
Abe Shuang saw that a few of us didn't care, so he had to purse his lips helplessly, thought for a long time, and finally sighed deeply, plucked up the courage to say: "This matter is because of me, although our Abe family is now in decline, but we will not let others slaughter, and tomorrow morning, I will hold a family meeting, mobilize the forces of the whole family, and will do my best to maintain the safety of your trip to Japan!"
Do you need to engage in such a big battle? Didn't he just scold that dead fat man, could he really hold a grudge like the little lady and fall out with me? Anyway, I also perform official duties on behalf of the underworld, and he can't embarrass me too much if he doesn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha.
I looked at Abe Shuang's expression on his face that the decisive battle was imminent, and asked suspiciously: "Is it so serious? How can I say that I was also sent by the government, he can't be so grandiose and want to fight with me, right?"
The thirteenth princess also chimed in and said: "I think what Brother Meng said makes sense, we are here on behalf of the underworld this time, no matter how powerful Yuta Ashiya is, he should not openly provoke the conflict between the two countries because of this trivial matter." ”
Abe: "You misunderstood me, I mean, he will definitely not give up and challenge you." When the time comes, I'm afraid you'll suffer, and you'll lose more than you gain. ”
Me: "Challenge, what challenge?"
Xiao Ai: "It's like the kind of war book that your samurai used to fight?"
Abe Shuang looked at us and nodded solemnly.
Cut, I thought he was going to gather the whole community and surround us at some inadvertent moment, in some unknown place, and slash us. It turned out to be just a challenge for the war book.
I said with a nonchalant face: "Then let him challenge it, it's a big deal if I don't accept it." ”
Abe looked at me incredulously, his eyes as big as Niu Ling.
"Mengsang, as a samurai, shrinking and avoiding war, but the greatest shame! I would rather die in battle than abandon my reputation because I am greedy for life and afraid of death!"
Me: "I don't have your bushido spirit, I'm not like you fools who take a knife at every turn, cut your abdomen and cut your wrists, and die with your will." What I've always believed in is that it's better to die than to live. ”
"However, the honor of your country's prefectural government ......" Abe Shuang obviously didn't expect me to answer like this, and stood still, not knowing how to answer for a while.
The foreign Taoist priest stood up and posed a handsome pose: "Reputation? Since the first day of his tenure, the reputation of the underworld has been ruined, and the negative value has exploded. After that, he looked at me with an expression of hatred for iron and steel, "Don't worry, isn't it just the fighting method, just come on, with me, the most handsome Taoist priest in history, can you still be afraid of him?" “
Xiao Ai: "It's the soldiers who are coming to block." “
The foreign Taoist priest scratched his head: "One meaning, one meaning." ”
......
In this way, our dinner was disturbed by the sudden appearance of a dead fat man.
The stomach that had been hungry for a day in order to eat the best tuna was not filled because of Abeshuang, who always had a sad face next to him.
Eventually, after eating thirteen more plates of sashimi, I had to stop with regret and rest hastily with the rest of the group waiting back to the hotel.
At noon on the second day, a hurried bell woke me up from my sweet dream.
"The old wolf wants to eat chickens, and the old wolf wants to eat chickens. ”
I picked up the phone and said impatiently, "Who dares to disturb the good dreams of this Heavenly Master!"
An apologetic voice came from the other end of the phone: "me! Just now, the battle book of the Ashiya family has been handed to our house, and now the people in the family have been arguing about it, Mengsang, come over quickly!"
I was surprised, "Isn't it? It's too fast!" After hesitating for a moment, I timidly asked, "Can I not go?" I came to Japan this time to propose, and I said before I came that I would keep a low profile, and it was not good to make such a big fuss when I came!"
Abe was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment on the other end of the phone, sighed, and said: "There are also many people in the family who think so, and they think that it is very unwise to cause us and the Ashiya family to tear their faces for the sake of Mengsan's reputation. ”
Me: "It seems that there are still smart people in your family." ”
Abeshuang: "However, as a warrior, you should dare to face any challenge, if you don't retreat without a fight, what face will you have to take up this position again in the future?"
I was kidnapped by Abe Shuang, and I had to get out of the bed and rush to Abeshuang's mansion with a group of people who were also sleepy.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a group of people surrounding Abe Shuang in the middle, chattering about something.
"Sister, you have to be clear, our family finally won the place of this national sacrifice, and now because of the envoys of other countries and the Ashiya family, if the above blames it and loses the opportunity for the national sacrifice, see what you take to explain to your dead father!"
A feminine-looking man, frowning, said to Abe's displeased accusation.
And a middle-aged man on the side also chimed in, "Niece, you also know that since your father died, there has not been an onmyoji in our family who can compete with the Ashiya family, so it will gradually be eaten away into the current state. If you still insist on going your own way now, the reputation of the Abe family may be ruined by you as a result!"
Another woman with colorful hair also responded: "Uncle is right, if you can have half the power of the previous generation of family heads, sister, we will not be squeezed by the Ashiya family so far." ”
The feminine man then sneered and echoed: "So I said, I didn't know what the head of the family thought at the beginning, but I actually handed over the Abe family to a woman in charge, if I inherited the mantle at the beginning, maybe it would have been ...... now."
Xiao Ai couldn't stand it, and hurriedly interjected: "If you inherit the mantle, maybe you would have changed your surname to Ashiya now." ”
The feminine man was stunned for a moment, turned around and saw us, snorted coldly with a displeased face, and said no more.
When Abe Shuang saw us coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and greeted: "Mengsang, you are here!"
I nodded at her and responded, "yes, I thought you had smart people in your family before I came." When I came, I found out that your IQ was already the highest in your family. ”
The dyed woman smiled hypocritically at us, and said pretending to be worried: "Are these envoys from the Celestial Empire?
Me: "Huh, what's the trouble?"
The dyed woman looked stunned and asked, "Don't you know yet?"
Me: "I don't really know. ”
The dyed girl hurriedly took out the battle book and said gloatingly: "This is the battle book of the Ashiya family, and I want to learn spells with a few of you!"
Me: "What are you talking about?"
Dyed Hair Girl: "Spell!"
Me: "With whom?"
Dyed Girl: "And you!"
Me: "What do you do with me?"
Dyed Girl: "Spell Fighting!"
Me: "With whom?"
Dyed Woman: "And you." ”
Me: "What do you do with me?"
Dyed Woman: "And ..... You play with me!"
Me: "yes, are you going to write a war letter too?"
