Chapter 9: Categories (Seeking Collection, Seeking Push)
More than half an hour later, the dynasty that had returned to the vicinity of the residential area appeared at the foot of Kamata Shrine.
It is said that it is a mountain, but in fact it does not look like a mountain at all, but it is similar to the slope of some overly high piles, in the shape of a small hill, a short stone slab road leads up and down, and it does not take long to climb the stairs to reach the 'top of the mountain', and then a short distance forward, it is a gray-white torii gate built of stone, and then pass through the line of more than ten meters, which is the main hall of the shrine.
It looks very quaint, and the gray stone tiles that have been washed by the wind and rain and the lamppost stands and coins on both sides are full of traces of time, which looks very historical.
"Didn't you preside?" The dynasty, who walked alone to the main hall, simply glanced around, and said secretly in his heart.
Then he hesitated for a moment, and then he turned around and moved towards the place where the main house at the back of the shrine was located, which was not open to the public.
The dynasty doesn't believe in gods, at least not in Japanese gods, so it's better to pay homage or something.
After a few moments, he came to the back of the shrine and saw the expected building, an antique house similar to the main hall of the shrine, with an all-wooden structure.
Without much hesitation, he left and walked to the front of the big house.
"Excuse me, anyone?" At least the dynasty who knew basic politeness did not enter other people's homes without permission, but stood in front of the door of the big house and shouted.
"Here we go."
Then, about ten seconds later, the figure of an older middle-aged man dressed in white clothes and blue hakama, with a thin figure and gray and black hair, walked out of the room.
"Are you ......?" asked the visitor with a puzzled face.
"Hello, you're the owner here, aren't you? I'm a visitor to the shrine, so I would like to ask you about something. According to Japanese etiquette, the dynasty bowed slightly to the man in front of him, and opened his mouth to explain his intention.
"Oh, oh, that's right, please come in, we're talking about something in the house." The head of the society, who understood the intention of the dynasty, smiled on his face and invited sideways.
"Then bother." The dynasty was not polite, saluted again, took off his shoes and stepped into the corridor of the house, entered the house with the enthusiastic owner, and sat down in the living room where he entered the house.
"That, I'm an international student from China, and I'm not used to kneeling, so please forgive me." Wang Chao sat on his knees for a few seconds, and then he couldn't stand the feeling of thigh muscle tightness and knee pain, and sat cross-legged while smiling apologetically wryly.
For the dynasty, Japan, which inherited from the Tang Dynasty and inherited from the Spring and Autumn Period, is really unflattering, almost punishing, and it is no wonder that most of the legs of Japanese women are thick and strong and not straight, and this kind of sitting posture that compresses the blood circulation of the legs is undoubtedly the culprit!
"It's okay, just feel free." The owner waved his hand absently, followed for a moment, and asked with a slightly restrained expression, "I don't know, uh...... What do you call it? ”
"My name is Dynasty."
"What does Wang Jun want to ask me?" The owner nodded slightly and continued.
“…… Before answering this question, I want to know, are you an onmyoji, owner? Wang Chao was silent for a moment, as if he was organizing the language or didn't know how to speak, until four or five seconds later, he spoke with a slight hesitation.
"Onmyoji? No, it's not, I'm just a normal person. How? Is Wang Jun looking for an onmyoji? Although the owner was a little surprised by the problem of the dynasty, he did not slap his swollen face and become fat, Leng said that he was an onmyoji, and explained his state very honestly, and then asked thoughtfully.
Wang Dynasty nodded and said softly, "It's just that there are some questions I want to consult with the other party." ”
"Can you tell me about something?" The owner asked.
Obedient, Wang Chao raised his head in a little surprise and looked at the owner.
"Although I'm an ordinary person, but in the end, I'm the host of the family shrine, and some small problems can still be solved or appropriate suggestions can be given, so if Wang Jun doesn't mind, you can talk about your problem, maybe I can solve it by chance." The owner laughed. looked like a good gentleman, which made the impression of him in the dynasty's heart quickly improved.
It seems that the owner of this shrine is a warm-hearted person.
Then he nodded and said, "Actually, it's nothing, I just want to know, is there really a ghost in this world?" ”
"The ghost...... Hehe, it seems that Wang Jun has touched filth. But as soon as these words came out, the owner understood the crux of the dynasty somewhat—even if it was only his self-righteous conjecture.
"So, are there really ghosts in this world?" Wang Chao was surprised.
Although he had already seen it, after all, it was only that time, and coupled with the calm in the later period, it could be said that if he didn't have an inexplicable golden finger to prove that this world was not simple, he would have to wonder if that time was an illusion caused by the mental trance caused by rebirth.
"What does the king think is a ghost?" But to the surprise of the dynasty, the owner did not immediately affirm his words, but asked a little wittily.
"What the hell is it?" Wang Chao frowned, not understanding what the owner meant. Then he wondered, "Is there anything else the ghost can't say?" ”
"Yes, there are some. But before I talk about this, please tell me about the ghosts you have seen. The owner nodded and smiled.
“…… The hell I saw was in the hospital......" Wang Chao was silent for a moment, and recounted in detail the appearance and circumstances of the ghost he saw in the hospital when he first woke up from this world.
"In that case, the ghost that Wang Jun saw was a remnant of ordinary thoughts." After a while, the head of the society, who had listened to the dynasty's statement, replied in a decisive tone.
"Remnants of the mind?" Wang Chao wondered.
"The so-called remnants of the mind are the 'ghosts' formed by the chaotic thoughts that the deceased exudes when they die. Its main state is 'UFO', a chaotic movement with no purpose, until finally the energy is exhausted and dissipates on its own. "Maybe it's rare for someone to come and chat with him, the owner didn't hide it, and explained the problem of ghosts in detail.
"Won't it hurt anyone?" After listening to the owner's explanation, Wang Chao asked curiously.
"No, it won't." The owner shook his head.
"What kind of ghost is that?" Wang Chao asked.
"A ghost formed by a strong obsession. However, this kind of ghost generally only goes to the target that formed its obsession, and after harming the target, it becomes a Buddha on its own, and only a few will mutate in the process and become an evil ghost that attacks all living things. ”
"Except for the ghosts?"
"And the Earthbound Spirits, a kind of ghost that has been bound to the Land of the Dead for some reason."
"Anything else?"
"The ghosts of the world can generally be classified into these four categories." The owner shook his head.
"Then, will the owner exorcise ghosts?" Wang Chao's eyes moved, and he asked. And this is also the issue he is most concerned about.
"It depends on the situation of the ghost, if it's just an ordinary ghost, there's no problem." The owner said in a light voice with a reserved expression on his face. But the dynasty that had been observing him carefully found that under that reserved performance, a smug emotion that could hardly be hidden leaked from the corner of the owner's eyes, which made the paying dynasty can't help but secretly raise his eyebrows.
After a pause, Wang Chao said again, "If I want to learn the ability to exorcise ghosts, is the owner willing to teach it?" ”
"Uh...... didn't expect the dynasty to suddenly throw out such a question, and the patriarch suddenly froze, and the expression on his face became stiff. It wasn't until a moment later that he said dryly, "I'm sorry, I don't have a seat here." ”
Then there was an awkward silence between the two, which was not broken by the dynasty until a moment later.
"I want to ask for a talisman from the owner, I don't know if it's okay."
"What kind of amulet?" The owner's eyes lit up and he asked.
"Keep it safe." Wang Chao thought for a moment and said. For him, who is currently in a dire situation, there is nothing more desirable than peace.
"Yes." The owner did not refuse, and agreed, then got up from the spot again, turned around and walked into the back of the house, leaving Wang Chao alone in the room.
But Wang Dynasty did not sit still, but with a thought, he tried to get out the 'fog man' that he had summoned once before, modified it, made it look like a ghost, and controlled it to move behind him, lying on his back in the shape of a spirit behind him.
"It's a fog, it's weightless, it's really like a ghost." Wang Chao, who had played with his hand twice and put his arm around his neck, sighed secretly in his heart.
After another half an hour, the former owner returned to the living room, walked up to the dynasty, and handed him an amulet in a red amulet pouch.
Wang Chao got up and took it, looked down briefly, put it away casually, took out the change, picked out a few banknotes with a face of 1,000 and handed them to the owner, then said goodbye to the owner, and left the house with the owner's escort, and disappeared around the corner of the shrine.
"Can't you see...... It seems that the owner here is just an ordinary person without the slightest abnormality. Passing through the torii gate, the dynasty who walked down the stone steps step by step to the mountain put away the mist people on his body, and sighed with a sad expression.
But think about it, if the hidden master is really so easy to find, then the world is not a little messy? So soon the dynasty gathered up his mood and continued to move towards his next destination, a shopping complex, and began to prepare for his armament.
……
I wandered around like this, and it wasn't until about three o'clock in the afternoon that I returned home with my things.
"Now it's just the books."
Then Wang Chao sat down at his desk, turned on the computer, and skillfully swam around the network.
