Chapter 713: The Situation of the Eight Great Onmyoji Families (Second Update)
Zhang Qian smiled and said, "Okay! Since you want to go and have a fun, then you can go with me!" It is rare for him to come to Japan, and after this incident is over, he is ready to go back to retreat for half a year, and he will go out of the customs before the year.
After that, he would take his parents' ashes and go to Youzhou to solve the last thing in his heart, and then he would plan to refine the jade plate of the two-way teleportation array and go to the heavenly realm.
Perhaps, this time, it will really be the last time he and Chiba Xue will meet.
Moreover, Zhang Qian just went to give Ying Long the pendant of the Heavenly Maiden, Ying Long is the mount of the Heavenly Maiden, with the token of the Heavenly Maiden in hand, he and Chiba Xue will probably not be in any danger, it is almost just a trip to play, and it doesn't hurt to bring Chiba Xue.
Seeing that Zhang Qian agreed so quickly, Chiba Xue was very happy in her heart, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, then why do we set off, I will go and let someone arrange the boat and wait at the dock!"
Zhang Qian said: "Let's set off early tomorrow morning, and you should prepare well today!"
"Okay, Mr. Zhang, you come with me and go talk to my grandfather!" Chiba Xue said happily, seeing Zhang Qian nodding, and then pulling Zhang Qian out of the backyard and arriving at the door of a wooden house in the front yard.
Chiba Xue knocked on the door and shouted, "Grandpa, are you there?" I have something to tell you!"
"Come in!" came an old voice from inside the room.
Chiba Xue pushed open the door and pulled Zhang Qian into the house, only to see an old man wearing a samurai uniform with white temples closing his eyes in the center of the room.
After Zhang Qian and Chiba Xue came in, the old man slowly opened his eyes, looked at Zhang Qian, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and asked, "Xue'er, who is this?"
Chiba Xue said: "Grandpa, he is Mr. Zhang who helped me in the Central Plains last time! This time Mr. Zhang is going to sea and going to Death Island, I want to accompany Mr. Zhang to go with him, please ask grandpa for approval!"
Although Chiba Xue is the patriarch of the Chiba family, she still respects her godfather very much, and if there is any major matter, she must report to this old man first and listen to his opinion.
The last time Chiba Xue was in the Central Plains, this old man naturally knew something, and through Chiba Xue and his disciple's description of Zhang Qian's strength, he thought that he was not Zhang Qian's opponent.
At this time, seeing that Zhang Qian was so young, and he didn't feel any spiritual power fluctuations on Zhang Qian's body at all, he was completely like an ordinary person, and he was even more jealous in his heart, and stretched out his hand to Zhang Qian and said: "It turned out that Zhang Zhenren is here, and if you miss the distance, Zhang Zhenren, please take a seat!"
"Okay!" Zhang Qian was not polite, he sat down in front of the cross-legged old man generously, and Qianye Xue sat next to Zhang Qian meekly, like a little girl, without the usual momentum of the head of the family.
The old man looked at Zhang Qianyi for a while, and said: "Zhang Zhenren's matter, the old man has heard Xue'er say it, thank you Zhang Zhenren for taking care of Xue'er in the Central Plains, I don't know what Zhang Zhenren is doing on Death Island? That place is very dangerous, when the old man was young, he accompanied Xue'er's grandfather to check on the vicinity of that sea area once, and he didn't dare to approach it at all!"
"Even if Zhang Zhenren is already a strong person in building a foundation, that place is not easy to break into! An Pei Qingming back then, but a congenital strong man, he didn't dare to get half a step close to the sea over there! Once he entered, he would die for life!"
Zhang Qian smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this, since I dare to go, I am sure that I can come out! Since Miss Chiba wants to go and have a fun, then I will take her there, and I will guarantee her safety!"
When Chiba Xue heard this, she also said on the side: "Grandpa, you just promise to let me go, Mr. Zhang is very powerful!"
The old man pondered for a while and said, "Zhang Zhenren, are you really sure that you can come out safely?"
Zhang Qian said: "I dare not say that I am completely sure, but I am ninety percent sure!"
The old man nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then let Xue'er follow Zhang Zhenren to meet the world, Xue'er's safety, there is Lao Zhenren......! Can you talk to the old man alone?"
Zhang Qian said lightly: "It's no problem! What do you want to talk about?"
The old man turned his head to Chiba Xue and said, "Xue'er, you go out first, I'll talk to Zhang Zhenren!"
"Yes, grandpa, Mr. Zhang! Then you talk, Xue'er has retired!" Chiba Xue glanced at Zhang Qian, and said, "Mr. Zhang, I'm waiting for you outside!" After speaking, he got up and left the house.
After Chiba Xue left, Zhang Qian said to the old man: "If there is anything, you can just say it! I see that you are seriously injured, and you will not have long to live!"
When the old man heard this, his wrinkled face suddenly showed a look of surprise, his eyes stared at Zhang Qian, and said: "Zhang Zhenren is really powerful, I can see at a glance that I am seriously injured!"
Zhang Qian said: "You are injured in your body, it should have been a year, what kind of person can leave such an evil force in your body, eat away at your vitality, if it weren't for the strong man in the Bigu Realm, I'm afraid you would have died on the spot!"
"Even if you use the true yuan in your body to forcibly support it, you won't be able to last half a year, because that power has been completely integrated into your internal organs, and your vitality has long been cut off, even if you are a strong Jindan, you can't save you!"
After listening to Zhang Qian's words, the old man smiled and said: "Zhang Zhenren is really as wise as a torch, just by looking at the old man a few times, he can infer the injuries in the old man's body to eight or nine, which is really amazing!"
He said: "Yes, the old man is indeed seriously injured and difficult to treat, and he doesn't have long to live, the only thing that can't be relieved is the Chiba family, and Xue'er, this little girl!"
Zhang Qian asked: "What's the matter with your injury? In today's world, I am afraid that you can be injured like this, I am afraid that you can be counted on one hand!"
When the old man heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Since Zhang Zhenren asked, the old man will not hide it, it is the old guy from the Aso family who injured me!"
"The Aso family is also a family of onmyoji on Kyushu Island, which has been inherited for nearly a thousand years, not much weaker than the Chiba family, and is one of the eight famous onmyoji families in Japan!"
"Originally, this Aso family, usually in the Onmyoji family, has always been the most low-key, and does not earn anything from other families, but last year, the old guy from the Aso family also entered the realm of Bigu and became a great Onmyoji, and then used the secret method of the Aso family to communicate with the soul of the evil ghost head of Eiganji!"
"With the help of the power of the evil ghost, the warrior who can temporarily transfer the power of the evil ghost to his side and act as his puppet! The power of the evil ghost is very strong, and the resentment is monstrous, after gaining great power, the Aso family is full of ambition and wants the other seven great onmyoji families to surrender to them!"
"Among them, there are three Onmyoji families, caught off guard, and they were secretly forcibly subdued, and the other four Onmyoji families, including our Chiba family, reacted, because the impact of this matter was too great, and it was not publicized, only the four of us old guys knew, and then discussed it, and then joined forces to crusade against Aso Palace!"
"My strength is the strongest, I will take the lead on our side, the five of us secretly challenged Aso Palace, and in the end both were defeated, but Aso Palace's injuries are not as serious as mine, and it is estimated that after half a year, we will be able to fully recover!"
"And I'm dying soon, so I'm very worried about the fate of the Chiba family and Xue'er's little girl in the future!"
