After a night's rest, Chi Shang Zhenyi clearly felt that his body had recovered, and he no longer had the tired feeling from the depths of his spirit yesterday, and he also discovered one thing, the energy that had just entered the body yesterday had been automatically running through a night, and it had a negative impact on the meridians, internal organs, bones, and bones in the body. The blood has been faintly strengthened, such a change makes him more happy, because in the future, the energy operation will have a cumulative strengthening of himself, and the longer the time, the stronger his body will be, but there is also a crisis side, that is, as the energy runs in the meridians in the body to make the body strengthened, it itself is also constantly consuming, although the energy consumed is not much, but with the energy in his body now, it will be consumed in less than a hundred days, and when there is no energy in the meridians, it will shrink, and the realm will fall, of course, he can also control the energy in his body not to run, but then he will not want to strengthen his body, and he will no longer want to break through the current ghost realmIt's like an endless loop.

The dead cycle that Chi Shang Zhenyi is encountering now will not happen at all in ancient times, because in ancient times, when cultivators entered the body with energy, they could use energy to circulate in the body to strengthen themselves, and the body would always absorb the free energy outside, and purify the guò meridians into the purest energy for their own use, and the speed at which they absorbed energy was much higher than the energy consumption of self-operation, so the situation that Chi Shang Zhenyi encountered now had not been encountered by cultivators at all in ancient times.

After looking inside the body with his spiritual power for a while, Chi Shang Zhenyi also understood the situation he was facing now, that is, he did not use external energy supply, lacked energy sources, and it seemed that he could only rely on those heaven and earth spars in his hands for the time being, but this is not a long-term thing, he still has to try his best to find the energy that can supply his body to cultivation, and also try to see if the best spar that has run out of energy can absorb electricity, which is very important to him, which is related to his future growth and realm, so he can't help but be in a hurry.

After cleaning up his own hygiene, he had just finished eating the breakfast sent by Yamada Kumaji, and before he could ask Yamada Kumaji to clean up, Yamada Kumaji came in to report.

"My lord, Lord Yamashita is visiting outside the door, and you can see if you will receive it. ”

Hearing Kumaji Yamada's words, he immediately remembered that Yagoro told him yesterday that Akira Yamashita had come to look for him, and he didn't know what was going on, so he seemed to be in a hurry, so let's see him.

"Well, you can bring Yamashita-kun in. ”

He sat down after instructing Kusuji Yamada, and he is still not used to kneeling in Japan, so he will sit cross-legged and wait for Akira Yamashita.

After Yamada Kumaji led Akira Yamashita into the house, he began to clean up the tableware that Ikeshang Makoyi had used in the morning, and when Akira Yamashita saw the appearance of the house, he immediately bowed ninety degrees and apologized.

"Ji Shangjun is really sorry to disturb your breakfast, I'm really sorry, but Yamashita really has an urgent matter to ask for Ji Shangjun's help, please don't blame me for my faux pas, I'm sorry. ”

After speaking, he bowed 90 degrees, and Chi Shang Zhenyi, who looked at it like that, frowned a little, he was also a student who had been to Japan in his previous life, but at that time the etiquette of the Japanese was not so rigorous, although it was more complicated than in China, but it was not as solemn and rigorous and complex and harsh as Japan in this era, this is how he felt when he came to Japan in this era, the almost perverted etiquette of the subordinate to the superior, made him scratch his head for a while, but it also made him more determined to be a superior person in the future, not for anything else, just to see an acquaintance on this day to bow and worship, he also has to be a superior, otherwise he will not be tired to death。

After a simple return salute, Chi Shang Zhenyi began to ask about Yamashita Ming's intentions, he didn't want to go around in circles, just say anything about it, he will help if he can help it, and it is useless for the other party who can't help him.

After seeing Kumaji Yamada pack up the tableware and go out, Yamashita Akira solemnly explained his intention to Chi Shang.

"Chi Shangjun, please listen to me, I am an orphan, I was raised by all the villagers in the village, the village where I live, there was a ghost rebellion when I was a child, more than 20 people died in the village at that time, and in the end, the village chief personally went out to invite an onmyoji master to seal the ghost and god. ”

"It was sealed in the courtyard of the ancestral hall in the village, and the village chief also because of the ghost things sealed in the ancestral hall, and a new ancestral hall was built, and the villagers who lived around the old ancestral hall were also moved away from the old ancestral hall, in case the villagers broke the seal and released the ghosts and gods to make trouble and harm people, since then our village has lived a peaceful life, although the people in the village know that the patio of the old ancestral hall is sealed with ghosts and gods, but he has been sealed up and can not harm people, so everyone has slowly forgotten about this matter, and even some of the descendants who were born in recent years do not know that there have been ghosts and gods in the village, but they know that the old ancestral hall in the village is a forbidden place。 ”

When he said this, Chi Shang Zhenyi could see Akira Yamashita's obviously trembling voice, obviously Akira Yamashita remembered very clearly what the ghosts in the village had done to people when he was a child, and even left a shadow of fear in his heart that he didn't even know about.

"Then with the passage of time I became the first person in our village to be admitted to the university, now I still remember the scene when I went to school to report and walked out of the village, the whole village of all ages came to see me off, their eyes were full of expectations for me, my tuition fee is a little bit of the village people made up, I know that they are very poor, some people will not eat meat once a year, let alone a new clothes, and the villagers in order for me to be able to study in a decent university, everyone took out a small amount of savings, the old village chief and several clan uncles personally ran to the market dozens of miles away to buy new clothes, new pants and new shoes for me, after returning a clan uncle personally drove a donkey cart to send me to schoolIn order to be afraid that I would be looked down upon by the rest of the school, Uncle Clan left without even looking at the school, and just said a few words of encouragement to me when he left, at that time I was sworn that I must have a good life, I must make my village rich, and let the villagers in my village live a good life, and then I was admitted to Ihara City in advance with excellent academic performance

As a civil servant, I was slowly promoted with my excellent performance, and later I became the mayor of Ihara City, in charge of this side of government affairs, during my time I was away I helped the village within my own ability, every year I went back to the village to worship my ancestors to watch the changes in the village, to see the villagers' days getting better and better, I was happy from the bottom of my heart, although the village was richer, he was still as calm and serene as before, every time I returned to the village, I would feel that my restless heart outside was slowly calming down. ”

In the past, the Japanese have always had a bad feeling about Chi Shang's true intentions, which may not have been the usual thinking of the Chinese, so he did not avoid vulgarity, but also brought this colored vision to the Japanese, in his imagination the Japanese nation is indifferent and ruthless, but Tong Guò these days his contact with Yamada Kumaji and six people found that the Japanese indifference reveals feelings, which is difficult for people of other nationalities to experience, only when you are one of them you will deeply feel that different feelings, rigorous and revealing friendship, this is a kind of interracial friendship, outsiders can not experienceThis is probably the reason why people in other countries think that Japanese people are indifferent, because Japanese friendship is only shown to themselves.

Chi Shang Zhenyi can see the inflow of true feelings when he said this passage to Yamashita Ming, from the scene when he said that he was sent to school by the villagers, his eyes were red and there were tears in it, to the proud and confident expression when he said that he became the mayor of Ihara City, so that Chi Shang Zhenyi felt that Yamashita Ming was the most true at this time, maybe the life of officialdom has changed him over the years, but the village that raised him and those simple villagers will still evoke the deepest truth in his heart, it seems that no matter who has something in his heart that he cares about and wants to protect, and what Yamashita Ming in front of him wants to protect is obviously the village where he was born and the group of villagers who raised him.

"And just yesterday I just received an urgent letter for help from my hometown, our village a few days ago, that is, on Good Friday in Hiroshima, there was a phenomenon of villagers dying horizontally, the deceased was one of my clan uncles, he used his own hands to gouge out his eyes, and bit off his tongue, and finally used a knife to dig out his own heart, and the clan uncle dug out a trace of blood in the heart, such a death is quite sometimes scared to death of the villagers, and this is not over, it is only the beginning of fear. ”

Hearing this, Chi Shang Zhenyi felt that this matter was not over, this ghost already had sanity, and he came out to harm people with such a murderous means, this should be the evolution of the earth ghost towards the ghost realm or it was already the ghost realm, and the purpose of harming the living was to replenish direct energy, and sure enough, Yamashita Ming's next words verified his idea.

"On the second day, another clan uncle also died in the same way of death, the most terrifying thing for the old people in the village is that the two people who died were the people who helped the Onmyoji to do it, which let the old man in the village know that this is the sealed ghost god, it escaped, it is taking revenge on the villagers, in order to stop the ghost and god from continuing to harm people, the old village chief once again personally went to invite the onmyoji of the neighboring village, but unfortunately he arrived to know that the onmyoji has gone immortal, and the onmyoji has no heirs so there is no inheritance, when the old village chief returned to the village, he knew that several villagers died, there was no way to go down, he wrote to me in person, Let me find a way to rescue the village, it is best to find an onmyoji to go over, but we don't know where there is an onmyoji family in Ihara City, and I don't know where there is in the entire Okayama Prefecture, so I can only ask Chi Shangjun for your help, Yamashita is here to ask you, please help our village. ”

After speaking, Yamashita Ming put his hands flat and kowtowed.

Looking at Yamashita Akira who knelt down and kowtowed on the other side, his body trembled slightly, Chi Shang really knew that the other party was crying silently now, he could feel the urgency in the other party's heart, this subtle perception appeared after his energy entered the body yesterday, but he felt the general change in the other party's heart, yesterday he felt sincere and warm in Yagoro, and now he also felt anxious and panic in Yamashita Mingming.

"Alright, leave the affairs of your village to me. ”

Yamashita Ming, who was still kowtowing, heard Chi Shang's true words, and suddenly raised his head to look at Chi Shang Zhenyi, his slightly moist cheeks proved that the mayor of Ihara City had just shed tears, but now his eyes were full of excitement.

"Thank you, Ji Shangjun. ”
