Chapter Twenty-Eight: Receiving Disciples

Hmph, what's next......"

Standing on the rock, looking down at the courtyard of the Nanjo family below, Yihao was proudly mixed with a bit of fun, like a demon in the past.

"When did you start to have such a bad taste......

There was a heavy sigh behind him, and Lin Heng walked along the mountain road, but his eyebrows were full of tiredness.

"Because your words are already in chaos down there...... Say, not being able to use the Imperial Divine Technique anymore is like depriving the Nanjo family of their survival value, aren't you going to help them? But deliberately throwing them into confusion, what the hell are you thinking? ”

“…… I want to see it. Yihao didn't look back, but there was a pleasant taste in his voice.

"Want to see ...... What do you want to see? Lin Heng stood next to him and looked down at the Nanjo family below, but he couldn't help but ask.

"Nanjo Family...... It's not the boy named Nanjo Arashi, if he really has the ability to save Japan. Yihao replied.

"What are you talking about, it's not him who has the ability to save Japan, but you who are the young emperor of Penglai, right? If you don't get the assistance of the Shenzhou side, it is impossible to fight against the evil spirits with the remnants of the Nanjo family alone......" Lin Heng frowned slightly.

"Indeed, if you use Penglai's power to annihilate the evil spirits, it shouldn't be a difficult thing......" Yihao said thoughtfully. But there is no reason for Penglai to do so. ”

"So as long as you order Penglai to help......" Lin Heng looked at Yihao in confusion, a little confused, what he wanted to say.

"Ordered as the young emperor of Penglai? Then I must stand in the position of the young emperor of Penglai as a prudent judgment. ”

Yihao turned his head to look at Lin Heng. There was no more banter in his expression.

"This is different from the situation of the Angel Beast in North America, the collapse of Japan comes from its own split, the Hojo family is driven by ambition, and the Nanjo family is defeated and fled in the struggle, and the ghosts released by the Hojo family are all demons that have been in the underground of Japan for thousands of years...... In the eyes of the young emperor of Penglai. I don't see any reason why China must be involved in this Japanese civil war. ”

Hearing this, Lin Heng finally understood Yihao's concerns.

Yihao is revered as the young emperor of Penglai, and at this moment when the gods of the four directions and the imperial dragon are retreating, no one can hinder him from driving Penglai's power as he wants. As long as he wishes to unify the Red World, it is not impossible. However, what is valuable is that Yihao knows how much power he has in his hands, but he is not arrogant at all, but regards the legitimate use of Penglai's power as his own responsibility, and is cautious about it.

If this caution falls on ordinary people, it will probably form a neurotic and sensitive appearance, right? However, with the arrogance of Yihao. But it is blended into a god that is proud of the mortal, without the slightest incongruity, and it feels even more awe-inspiring.

"But didn't you save the Nanjo family several times before? And I also contacted Kunlun ......"

Although Lin Heng admired his friend's transformation, he still tried his best to fight for the Nanjo family.

"Helping the Nanjo family is just my personal behavior, and it doesn't represent Penglai's position, and contacting Kunlun is just to reassure Penglai. lest you have to listen to the old men's complaints when you go back......" Yihao shrugged his shoulders and smiled as if to comfort him. "Don't worry, at least until you learn to control the 'Burial God Realm'. I will continue to help the Nanjo family as a disciple of the Iron Gate as I am now, but as for whether Japan can get the support of Shenzhou, it depends on them, or the next cousin of the young man. ”

"You seem to have a lot of expectations for Arashimaru, don't you?" Lin Heng was puzzled.

"No, I only met him yesterday. There is nothing to expect at all. Yihao shook his head. But he is the suzerain of the Nanjo family, and he is the only one who can lead the Japanese to fight against the ghosts, if he can't afford the fate of this country, then even if I order Penglai to come to support, in the end, I will only ask for trouble......"

Noticing Lin Heng's confused expression, Yihao explained slightly.

"I said, although Penglai has the strongest strength in the Red World, after all, it is not a political institution, it cannot provide financial assistance, and it is impossible to send officials, and it is all up to Japan's own efforts to rebuild order in the ruins. If the Nanjo family did not have the basic organization to achieve this, even if Horai helped to annihilate the demons, Japan would still end up in disorder and chaos...... In that case, does it make any difference if the Hojo family rules it? ”

Completely removing the interference of feelings, Yihao's analysis was rational and thorough, even Lin Heng couldn't help but be speechless.

"So what the fate of Japan will be in the future depends on Arashimaru's appearance......"

In the frozen silence, Yihao's gaze returned to the Nanjo Mansion below, and the corners of his mouth raised a slight arc.

"If he can show me what he means to be the country, then it doesn't hurt to give him the future of Japan."

Lin Heng was speechless, he knew the negative feelings of the Tie clan towards Japan, and it was rare for Yihao to be able to say such a thing, but looking at his friend's side face, he suddenly felt that it was like a god who was proudly looking down on mortal dust......

……………………

By the time the two returned to Nanjo's house, the commotion they had caused had come to an end.

Although the Nanjo family can't deal with Yihao, who doesn't even care about the gods, Momiji, who leads Yihao to the secret cave, is all blamed for this. Originally, that cave was the core secret of the Nanjo family, and the only people who could enter and leave it freely were the suzerains of the past generations, although I don't know how Momiji learned about the existence of the place as a ninja, but just the crime of casually breaking into the forbidden place was enough to make her bear the capital crime, plus there was also the unprecedented felony of "instigating outsiders to break the god contract", even if she was executed on the spot, there was nothing to question, and Momiji himself had no intention of exculpating himself at all.

Yihao had left the Nanjo family when they were arguing about what to do with the autumn leaves, sneering and spending his energy on boring things, but ignoring the real things to do, if the whole Nanjo family was like this. Then there is nothing to look forward to in Japan's future. He didn't intend to watch Momiji be executed, even against Momiji's own will, he would have saved Momiji a moment before the execution, just then

When it comes to saying goodbye to this island, right?

Thinking like this, Yihao stepped into the Nanjo family's mansion and was greeted by countless pairs of hateful and fearful eyes. Nanjo Arashi's magic was seen as the only hope for the Nanjo family to turn defeat into victory, but Yihao cruelly deprived them of hope. As a result, his identity has changed from the original "grateful benefactor" to an "abominable evil god". But of course, no one dared to show it, and everyone avoided the two of them from a distance on the way to the main hall.

"How does it feel to be in a cold place?" Lin Heng looked at Yihao with a wry smile.

"Well, he's considered a bad guy anyway. It's good to play to the end. Yihao shrugged his shoulders and thought to himself that if the Nanjo family had decided to dispose of Momiji, they would immediately rob people and escape.

After stepping into the main hall, Yihao blinked his eyes and looked at the young sect leader sitting in front of him in surprise, while Hongye sat next to him with a respectful expression. It doesn't look like he's being punished at all.

"Momiji, are you alright?" Surprised, Yihao stopped. "Look at the way those guys looked like they were going to swallow you alive?"

(It was the suzerain who exonerated me...... Momiji showed Yihao's gaze as he moved to the young man sitting on the ground, but the other party took the initiative to stand up and walk in front of him when he was about to say something. Bow down to him respectfully.

"Sir, the grace of saving his life, Arashimaru is toothless and unforgettable, along with the kindness of rescuing the Nanjo family several times. He will give his life in retribution. ”

"Thank me......" Yihao followed with a slight surprise, but the corners of his mouth raised a sarcastic arc. Although it was formally to save your life, but in the end, you used the power of the 'god mastery', and on the way here, the locals you met treated me as a plague god, but you want to thank me...... Is your own life more important? ”

Yihao asked so. A sharp line of sight inadvertently shot out of his eyes, and Lin Heng next to him noticed this and couldn't help but sweat for the young man.

"For us, the loss of the 'Imperial Divine Technique' is indeed an unbearable blow, but the Nanjo family is by no means a person who cannot distinguish between things!" Feeling Yihao's contempt, a slightly annoyed look appeared on Nanjo Lan's face, although it showed the immature side of the youth, but at the same time, it was enough to prove that what he said was indeed from the heart.

"I heard from the doctor that I had half my foot in the ghost gate last night, and if I hadn't been rescued by my husband, I would probably have passed away. In this way, the Nanjo family will lose both the magic and the leader, and because of the relationship between Mr. and Momiji, at least one of them will be retained, and the Nanjo family has no reason to resent him. ”

"Is this your personal opinion or is it the unanimous opinion of the Nanjo family?" Yihao's right hand caressed his chin, which was his habit when he or the demon became interested in something.

“…… Just my personal opinion. Nanjo Arashi looked distressed. Everyone was angry that Momiji wanted to put her to death, and although I reluctantly stopped her, the result was disappointing everyone, and now most of the Onmyoji of the Nanjo family have left this mansion, and only a few ninjas and refugees are still ......"

"Well, it's expected, for most people, the magic is the only hope. The Nanjo family has lost its magic and its suzerain is a milky imp, if this can also defeat the Hojo family, who dominates the evil spirits, it can be said to be a miracle. If I were an onmyoji, I wouldn't have stayed with the Nanjo family for burial. ”

Completely ignoring the mood of the person concerned, Nanjo Arashi lowered his head in pain, and the red leaves behind him were held high and wrote, "Excessive! The two-word whiteboard, but Yihao pretended not to see it.

"But there are still people who are willing to believe in this miracle."

Yihao's tone changed suddenly, Nanjo Lan raised his head in amazement, but saw Yihao's gaze falling behind him, and when he turned around, he happened to look at the whiteboard in Momiji's hand.

Not only Momiji, but also the position a little later, nearly a hundred ninjas appeared there at some point, and there were a few onmyoji who chose to stay, all of them were exhausted, some of them were still wrapped in bandages, but they all knelt on the ground in unison, and the wordless posture conveyed some kind of perseverance and consciousness that was even more deadly.

"Big ...... Everyone......" Nanjo Lan felt her voice tremble, trying to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, tears flowed down her face.

"Hoho still has so many fools who are willing to believe in miracles......" The voice that rang behind him sounded neither like a well-intentioned effort nor a malicious mockery. It seemed to be just a reminder of what was necessary. "Then what are you going to do to repay the Nanjo Sect Master who has lost the magic of the gods to repay their stupid expectations, which can be said to be stupid?"

In the overflowing tragic moment, he threw out cool words and imposed mental persecution on the helpless boy, Yihao can be said to have played a completely hateful negative role this time, so it naturally aroused the Qi Qi of the Nanjo clan. Even Lin Heng looked at him suspiciously, but he himself looked like he was looking forward to something good.

"I ......"

Nanjo Lan raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears and looked back at Yihao. There was some kind of resolute decision in his eyes.

"I want to ......"

The corners of Yihao's mouth curled slightly, and he did not hesitate to sing black face to put heavy pressure on the young man, just to hear the next sentence.

This sentence will show the spiritual integrity of the young suzerain, whether he has the keen insight to grasp the current situation, whether he has the correct judgment to formulate countermeasures, and whether he has the deep awareness to bear the fate of Japan. At the same time, it will also decide whether Japan will receive assistance from Shenzhou, crucially.

The young sect master's previous expression made Yi Hao look sideways slightly, he predicted that in this case, Nanjo Arashi's reaction would be nothing more than a few, but at the same time, he was happy to see that the young sect master had the possibility of his prediction.

It's just that there is a saying in this world called "smart is mistaken by smart".

Under Yihao's playful gaze, Nanjo Arashi walked step by step to the position three steps away from him, and then before he had time to react. A short body bowed down.

"I want to worship you as a teacher!"

……………………

"Please allow me to worship Mr. as a teacher!"

Nanjo Arashi bowed down to Yihao.

"The Imperial Divine Art is a secret method that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Nanjo family, but the power of the land displayed by Mr. is even more than the Imperial Divine Technique! Now I can't use the magic anymore, but I hope to worship under my husband.

Cultivating to be able to replace the power of the Imperial Divine Technique to save the Japanese people Arashimaru is even at a cost! Mr. Wang's answer! ”

It can be said that the magic is the symbol of the Nanjo family, and it is also the foundation of the Nanjo family's thousand-year-old prosperity, but Nanjo Lan's statement at this moment is equivalent to abandoning this Nanjo family's thousand-year-old tradition, which is absolutely rebellious to any family. And for him, who bears the last hope of the Nanjo family, making such a choice is even more heavy. However, in the end, the persistence of "saving the people of Japan" overwhelmed the deep-rooted family concept, and people had to admire the consciousness of the teenager.

Even Lin Heng, who didn't intend to interject, couldn't help but look at Yihao, but then his friend was in a state of confusion.

He didn't expect Yihao to bite his lip unwillingly, he predicted almost all the possibilities, but he missed the situation of setting himself on fire.

From an intellectual point of view, it seems inevitable that Arashimaru made such a choice. When he helped the Nanjo family who was attacked by evil spirits before, the young sect master's mind firmly remembered the scene of fighting hundreds of evil spirits empty-handed, and as for going to the forbidden cave to negotiate with the gods, it also proved from a certain aspect that he was at least an equal to the gods worshiped by the Nanjo family. After losing the god who relied on him as a backer, asking him for help was the inevitable choice of the Nanjo family, and Yihao did not intend to refuse, but he never thought that the other party would ask for "apprenticeship".

Arashimaru's ambition to save his clan by his own efforts is undoubtedly more commendable than to entrust everything to Yihao, but it is an unexpected situation for Yihao. In fact, he should have thought that Arashimaru might make this choice, but some strange bystander psychology blinded his prediction, and it became the current situation of "burning himself".

"You...... Do you want to worship me as a teacher? Yihao asked a little dumbfoundedly, as if he hadn't recovered from the shocking confession he had just made.

"Yes, Mr. Wang's permission!" Arashimaru's forehead was almost touching the ground, and his voice and movements were respectful.

"But I ...... I don't have any plans to take in apprentices yet......" Yihao stammered, and the predicted situation in front of him made him feel difficult to deal with.

"Well, isn't that nice?" It was Lin Heng who interjected, and he persuaded his friend in a pleasant tone. "Anyway, you also plan to observe Arashimaru's qualifications carefully, wouldn't it be more convenient to take him as an apprentice? There is no one who knows his disciples better than Master, right? Besides, Lan Maru himself is also a very sensible child, regardless of qualifications and conduct, he is the best choice, if he is born in Kunlun, those old men will not have to fight for apprentices! Such a piece of good gold and jade will be automatically delivered to you, what are you hesitating about? ”

“…… Then why don't you take in disciples? Yihao glared at him depressedly.

"It's a pity that what people like is the masculinity of the Tiemen disciples, but they don't have much interest in me, a delicate Taoist." Lin Heng shook the tail behind him full of "ill intentions", and then turned to Aramaru to take care of the topic and continue the topic on his own.

"I said, Arashimaru, there is a saying in Shenzhou, 'one day is a teacher, one life is a father', and you know the truth in this, right? Since you must abide by the Iron Gate Precepts when you enter the Yihao Sect, I can tell you first, the Iron Gate Precepts are notoriously strict! In addition to unconditionally obeying the decision of the head of the family, those who violate the precepts will be punished at the least, and they will be expelled from the school and beheaded on the spot if they are too bad, it is simply a deed of sale for evil ghosts! You have to think about whether it's worth it or not...... Uh-uh! ”

"you! What is a deed of sale! "Yihao kicked someone who was babbling nonsense." And where the hell did you know the Iron Gate Commandments? ”

"What's the matter, with the relationship between Iron Gate and Kunlun, it's not very simple to get an introduction to Iron Gate?" Lin Heng rubbed his buttocks and said angrily. "Isn't there a group of Kunlun disciples who come to the Iron Gate for apprenticeship every year? They were punished by the elders to go to the iron gate to 'experience life', and when they came back, not one of them went to hell without crying...... What do you say is not a deed of sale for demons? ”

"Hmph, isn't the Kunlun disciple too weak?" Perhaps sensing that if the argument continued, it would cause a fire fight between the disciples of the two factions, and Yihao urgently pulled the topic back. "Besides, Lan Maru has no Jiuli bloodline on his body at all, even if I promise to accept him as an apprentice, he won't be able to learn the Iron Gate martial arts."

"You know more than the Iron Gate Martial Arts, such as the alchemy you are good at, don't you just teach him this? After all, Arashimaru was born as an onmyoji, so he should learn quickly, right? ”

"You mean...... Shoran Pill as an alchemy apprentice? ”

Yihao was stunned for a moment, and this unexpected mention made him quite excited.

Teaching Arashimaru alchemy without involving the Iron Gate is indeed the easier option. Onmyoji's sensitivity to the elements is higher than that of ordinary psionic Arashimaru, and his qualifications are not bad, and with the experience of accepting Lucas as an apprentice in his previous life, he must be familiar with teaching, but Yihao is still reluctant - once he does agree with Arashimaru as an apprentice, it means that he can no longer take the Nanjo family and the riots in Japan as a matter that does not concern him, and the trouble of the disciple is the trouble of the master, and it is very difficult for an upright young man with a sense of responsibility to ignore this.

But on the other hand, he couldn't find a reason to refuse Araimaru, and the demon soul in his previous life seemed to be ready to move because he had the opportunity to be a teacher again.

"Tiejun, I also ask you."

On the shaky wall, a heavy hammer was Nadeshiko's request, and she came to the main hall a little later, she learned about the situation from Momiji, and also bowed her head to Yihao, please, and Momiji knelt on the ground, and the word "compassion" was written on the whiteboard in front of her.

"Please, sir, Arashimaru will definitely follow the teachings of the master and never live up to the expectations of the master!"

Arashimaru, who was always respectful, reaffirmed in a voice that would make it difficult to doubt his sincerity.

"Please, sir!"

As for the nearly 100 Nanjo clansmen behind Arashimaru, they also unanimously exerted huge coercion on Yihao.

"Mmmm......mmmm

Looking at the people who were kneeling on the ground in front of him, Yihao felt that he had been driven into a desperate situation......
