Chapter 194: The Fifth Jade. Conan?
It's not that Fifth Jade is really so irresponsible, it's just that as the youngest Onmyoji in modern times, being able to be selected as his apprentice shows that the headquarters values Mei and Leo. In the same way, this also shows that the talents of the two of them are better than ordinary people.
If the Fifth Jade teaches carefully, and Mei and Leo also work hard to practice, they will not surpass the Fifth Jade, but they will definitely progress much faster than they are now!
It's just that Fifth Jade doesn't intend to do this. A person's life is constant, no matter how hard you try, when you reach the end of your life, everything will come to an end. Life becomes fulfilling when people have a goal or a dream and work hard to achieve it. But if this goal or dream is realized too soon, people will fall into confusion and emptiness.
Looking for a new target? That being said, it's very difficult to actually do. is like the current Fifth Jade, although he has worked hard to act in movies and variety shows, no matter what, these are inseparable from his other identity.
The so-called complete abandonment of the past is nothing more than self-deception, a person's existence at this moment is based on the past, if he can really put aside the past, isn't it equivalent to denying the present self? Even if you deny yourself, why should you pursue a new dream?
Fifth Jade just wanted them to pause, pay a little attention to the beauty around them in the journey of life, and don't think like himself, hurried to the end, but found that he hadn't found the next journey yet.
Although they were very dissatisfied with the fifth jade's approach, Leo and Mei obediently packed their luggage and followed the fifth jade to the car.
The destination is still the same place in Li He, and although it is the first day of the first lunar month, for these young people, this does not prevent them from pursuing their dreams. Coming here with a familiar car, Fifth Jade stopped the car and looked at the scene in front of him in a daze.
Leo and May also stopped performing muffled gourds at this time, and one by one grew their mouths, and Leo muttered half-loudly:
"Sir, am I right? It's daytime! β
"Moreover, it stands to reason that a small place like South Korea should not have such a powerful yin qi!" Mei frowned, her still cold voice couldn't hide her surprise.
Fifth Jade nodded, and said in a deep voice: "If you count this time today, since I came to Korea, I have encountered three relatively powerful ghost things, and they are all types that apprentices can't handle. It appears three times in just a few months, which is indeed a bit strange for this part of Korea. β
The more he spoke, the more solemn Fifth Jade's expression became, and his frowning brow and deep voice made Leo and Mei nervous.
"Could it be that you say," Fifth Jade said thoughtfully.
"Excuse me?" Leo and Mei stared at the fifth jade tightly, the powerful yin qi in front of them, many powerful ghosts appeared in a short period of time, and it was also in this place in South Korea, strange things were connected, and suddenly the two young boys and girls developed rich associations.
I saw that the fifth jade suddenly tilted his head, and said seriously: "Could it be that I have Conan's physique?" β
Leo and May: ""
After looking at the fifth jade speechlessly for a while, Leo said, "Sir, now is not the time to joke, is it?" β
Mei also nodded in agreement, and then said: "I think we should report this situation to the headquarters and see what the headquarters has to deal with it." β
"What can be done? It's just to let the Onmyoji come over and sit in town, and I'm the Onmyoji! Fifth Jade replied lightly.
"But isn't that strange?" Mei continued to ask without giving up.
"There's nothing strange about it, even low-level paramecium insects know how to seek advantages and avoid harm!" Fifth Jade shrugged and explained lightly.
"If a man dies and his spirit is scattered, and is placed in a place of evil, he is defiled by it and is reunited. The face of the reunited thing is no different from that of the living, but its lifeless breath is also terrible, and there is no thought, no thought, no self, only obsession with the ear! The fifth jade suddenly dragged Wen and said.
Leo looked at the fifth jade suspiciously, and then said: "I can memorize this thing when I am five years old, doesn't it mean that people will lose most of their memories after becoming ghosts, and only one obsession remains?" β
"Normally, that's how it looks!" Fifth Jade finally began to do what a teacher should do at this time, and patiently explained: "Those who were talking about just now are ordinary people, but there are some that are not ordinary!" He glanced at Leo with deep meaning, and then continued:
"Like the vampires who have a legacy, like ...... We! β
"Isn't it strictly forbidden for an onmyoji to transform into a ghost?" Mei asked in surprise.
Fifth Jade pursed her lips disdainfully and said, "Aren't the so-called prohibitions all after the behavior has occurred?" Besides, when your life is about to come to an end, how many people can truly resist the temptation to choose to die? β
"You mean, there are still onmyoji who ignore the ban and choose to turn into ghosts at the last moment?" Leo asked incredulously.
"Not that there are, but a lot!" Fifth Jade said affirmatively.
If this is the case, then why does this ban still exist? According to the status of those Yin and Yang students before their deaths, and the ...... of so many disciples behind them," Mei analyzed rationally.
"Because the meaning of our Onmyoji's existence is to get rid of these ghosts!" The fifth jade said insincerely.
Mei frowned and stared at Fifth Jade suspiciously.
"Okay." Fifth Jade spread her hands and muttered, "It's really hard to deceive children nowadays." He then went on to explain: "In fact, becoming a ghost does not mean that you can live forever, and if you want to continue to exist in this world, you must continue to accept the erosion of yin qi. But even if we are onmyoji, if we continue to be eroded by yin energy, our sanity will eventually dissipate, so after becoming a ghost, no matter who he was in his lifetime, the final result will be to become an evil ghost who has no sanity and does evil everywhere. Therefore, ghosts and us humans are destined to be enemies. β
"That makes sense!" Mei nodded calmly, and the fifth jade who looked at it was speechless for a while, and complained: "It's really cute, can't you be naΓ―ve!" β
Completely ignoring Fifth Jade's complaints, Mei continued to ask, "Then why didn't you choose to become a vampire?" It's no secret that you can become a vampire now! β
"In order to adapt to the current spiritual power environment, that secret method has been modified, but the modified secret method can only withstand the soul strength below the onmyoji, so ......" Fifth Jade Chaomei shrugged her shoulders, and the words behind it were clear without saying, at this time, Leo suddenly interjected:
"Then an apprentice like ours should be fine, right?"
"Absolutely!" Fifth Jade chuckled, and Leo looked at her with a strange face.
Mei suddenly felt embarrassed by Leo's words, held her forehead on the side, and said speechlessly: "Leo, your graduation assessment won't be cheating, right?" You don't understand the relationship between spiritual power and yin energy? Interdependent yet antithetical! Becoming a vampire, do you still want to continue on the path of Onmyoji? No matter how glamorous the vampire looks, it can't hide their bloodthirsty and half-human, half-ghost nature. Moreover, the current high-end power of vampires is basically transformed by those old guys, that is, as Mr. said, with ancient secret methods, with onmyoji-level souls. Weak souls like us can only become those low-level vampires, and the low-level vampires have a long but limited lifespan, and their chances of being promoted to high-level vampires are very small, and they have to pay the price of not being able to move during the day! β
βOKοΌ OKοΌ Leo hurriedly raised his hand in surrender, and then said: "I just didn't turn the corner for a while, spare me, high-achieving student!" β
Fifth Jade suddenly clapped her hands at this time and said, "Okay, the class is over!" Grab your instruments, we're going to save your instrumental teachers! β
Although just looking at the degree of yin qi leaking outside, Leo and Mei also understood that they would not be able to help in the next battle, but it was too ridiculous to let themselves bring musical instruments inside, right?
Fifth Jade took two steps, noticed the expressions of these two people, thought for a while, and explained: "We have to get some compensation, such as their special skills and so on!" β
Leo and May: "......"
At the same time, at the door of the fifth jade's house, a young man rang the doorbell for a long time, and scratched his hair in distress after finding that there was no response, and only then said to himself:
"Didn't you go to Li He?"
