Chapter 19: Memories (II)
Of course, unlike other children, with her own intelligence, she quickly found out from the gossip of many subordinates and even clansmen why her father would make an exception to hire such a teacher. Even his own people didn't have much opposition.
It is said that my father was on a trip and was attacked by a powerful monster by chance. Then he was rescued by this teacher Huiyin who passed by by accident.
And his father also talked about it after some thanks, thinking that it was to take the opportunity to make friends with this woman who was suspected of being an onmyoji or an exorcist. As a result, I didn't expect that after some exchange, I was completely impressed by the other party's abyss-like knowledge. Even despite the opposition of others, he directly invited him to be the teacher of the clan school.
I heard that the clansmen were originally dissatisfied with this matter in private, after all, the other party's origin is unknown. What's more, it's still a female streamer. Even if it is a suspected knowledgeable onmyoji, it is still too ridiculous to hire the other party as the teacher of the clan lecture hall.
Even the patriarchs of the family have many objections. But his father seems to be very recognized of his knowledge, and it is even said that he directly let the clan elders have an academic 'debate exchange' with this newly invited 'teacher'.
As for the outcome of the 'debate', this is not known to outsiders. But now that the other party has completely become his own teacher, and even the complaints of the clansmen have been suppressed by the clan elders who originally held opposing views, the result of the 'debate' can be imagined.
But just imagining that kind of scene, Ah Li couldn't help but smile knowingly. Think of a group of old masters, who kept talking about a woman, but they were ruthlessly defeated by the other party's tongue and team. Thinking about it, the old-fashioned faces of those old men who had not changed for thousands of years at that time must have been very exciting.
And she quickly understood her father's good intentions.
Although the other party's teaching method is like those old masters, old-fashioned and monotonous. But the other party's knowledge is completely worthy of the title of the other party's teacher. Even he was quickly impressed by the other party's knowledge like a sea of knowledge. Just like his father.
Once, I thought that I had read most of the books in my family, even if it was my father and a group of clan elders, I couldn't compare to my current knowledge in terms of accumulation. In terms of the reserve of knowledge alone, no one can beat himself. But in front of the other party, his little reserve was instantly suppressed.
No matter how tricky and outlandish the question is, the other party can give an appropriate answer, and even point out the source of the answer to the question. Even some doubts that no one has ever been able to answer have found the answers they have been trying to pursue in the words of the other party.
Not to mention that after contact, she found that the other party had an unparalleled understanding and insight into mysterious existences such as monsters.
She was even more overjoyed by this discovery. As a result, she became the most diligent and inquisitive student on the other side. And the other party is completely like a most competent teacher, and he is full of patience to answer his countless strange thoughts and questions one by one.
So in this way, one was willing to learn and the other was willing to teach, and the two soon became intimate. At least in the eyes of outsiders, it is.
After quickly getting acquainted, she soon began to affectionately call the other party Teacher Huiyin, and the other party couldn't move her, and began to call her name.
As the trust between the two became stronger and stronger, he gradually revealed some of his thoughts to the other party that he had never told others.
And Teacher Huiyin did not disappoint her, and quickly recognized her ideas, and even gave her own suggestions and insights. At that moment, she completely listed the other party as a confidant.
Even the troubles about his future life were subconsciously forgotten. Instead, he devoted himself to the discussion of knowledge with Teacher Huiyin.
In the blink of an eye, time flies, and several spring and autumn seasons pass quietly. Originally, all this was so beautiful, and even the beautiful self thought that time was going to go on like this.
But one day, a rumor suddenly spreads that a youkai attack the city's residents in the middle of the night in the town ruled by his family. Originally, this kind of thing was relatively rare, but it did happen occasionally.
Most of the time, it's just rumors. Even if there are occasional youkai breaking into the town, they will be quickly eliminated by the exorcists enshrined in their own clan, and they will quickly subside.
But this time, I don't know why the rumors are getting worse, and the number of dead residents is increasing day by day. Even if it was the worship of his own clan, he couldn't find out the cause of the matter. Even with the enshrinement, the unknown 'youkai' seemed to be enraged, and it became even more rampant.
Countless residents do not leave their homes at night, closing their doors and windows, for fear of being attacked by the 'monsters' who do not know where to hide in the night. But it was still useless, and even though the inhabitants were all secluded and there were countless patrols at night, it still couldn't stop the rampant behavior of the youkai.
I often wake up early in the morning to find that a family, or even a few households, have been killed.
If this made the inhabitants of the whole town panic, the corpse of the exorcist enshrined in the clan was found in an alley one morning, which completely detonated the panic of the whole town.
And this news also completely shook the entire clan. The clan urgently wants to send someone to invite other well-known exorcists to come to help. But something even more terrible happened, and the people who sent out were found the next morning that their bodies had been abandoned outside the city gates, and their bodies were covered with horrible wounds, and the only face that was still intact was full of hideousness and fear, and they did not know what had happened to them before they died
Panic completely enveloped the entire town. Even if some residents tried to escape the town, their bodies would be found outside the city gates the next day. Running away is death, not fleeing is death, this unknown 'youkai' sowed endless fear on everyone's heads.
What made their clan even more panicked was that after asking for help this time to no avail, the unknown 'youkai' stretched its claws into their clan.
As the bodies of the people who kept dying were discovered, they couldn't sit still. Just when her father, the head of the family, was about to decide to form an elite guard to escort the main members of the family from the town to another wealthy family for help.
Finally came out of the library and suggested that she could deal with the monster.
The clansmen, who were almost forced to have no way out, held the attitude of giving it a try and let her make a move. As a result, to everyone's expectations, the 'monster' that had been unable to be stopped and confronted was actually discovered by Huiyin, and even repeatedly prevented 'it' from killing.
Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Teacher Huiyin said that he already knew almost the body of the 'monster'. Let everyone cooperate with her to set up an ambush, ready to completely capture and even hunt this crazy 'monster'.
It was a full moon night, and everyone set up an ambush. But under the left and right waiting, they still didn't hear the agreed signal. Just when everyone was waiting impatiently, a terrible scream resounded through the night sky.
Everyone rushed to the place where the screams came, and under the moonlight, everyone finally saw the original form of the terrible 'monster'.
'She' was covered in blood, and the blood on her slender hands that had not yet coagulated was dripping down. And the pair of long horns on his head are so conspicuous, and the blue clothes he wears on weekdays have been changed to a 'seeping' turquoise at some point. The face that was slightly stunned was so 'hideous and terrifying' in the eyes of everyone at this moment.
In front of her, a 'corpse' that had been shattered and only a skull was still intact was quickly identified. That is the eldest son who has been designated as the next family heir, the head of the family, the eldest brother of Ali, and the young head of the barnyard family.
Everyone looked at everything in disbelief. And Ah Li, who ignored the obstruction of the servants and insisted on coming, only felt that the world was spinning when he saw the face of the 'monster' clearly, and his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted.
Huiyin-sensei!?
