Chapter 44: The Dojo

The interior of the Myojinsan training center is very simple, with few facilities, but it is more like a traditional Japanese house with a bath and some accommodation rooms. Sima Qiudao didn't think much about it, as Xiaolongji (princess) entered a certain house, as soon as he entered, he felt as if he had entered some kind of formation with an enchantment, and when he changed his shoes (Japanese-style houses have a hallway as a place to change shoes and clothes, he had to change his shoes at least when he entered the inner room) and entered the indoor main hall, Sima Qiudao suddenly found himself outside, why was he outdoors again?

In front of you is an open Japanese-style hall, with corridors connecting to other houses on the left and right, and as the background of the hall is a typical Japanese-style garden, with a clear pond bamboo tube drawing water to form a complete bamboo water clock, surrounded by scattered rockery rocks surrounded by blooming flowers and plants, and a winding path paved entirely of rough cobblestone at intervals leads to an antique red lacquered wooden arch bridge not far away, from which the arch bridge is connected to a spacious Japanese-style water pavilion.

Stone paths, arch bridges, water pavilions, rockeries and vast lakes, as well as verdant bamboo forests looming in the distance under the shroud of clouds and mist, a good picture of winding paths leading to the secluded water pavilion to listen to incense. This artistic conception alone can make people empty their minds, forget their troubles, and feel the ethereal spirit of heaven and earth, and the far-reaching charm of water. Sure enough, it is worthy of the true dragon who was born with good water, and the samadhi in this water is so deep......

In this place with a long artistic conception, the guests and hosts are seated in the back (the reason why the word "sitting" is not used is because in these typical Japanese halls, the host and guest are to sit upright. Just put your legs together, straighten your waist, and sit on your heels. Fortunately, there is a mat otherwise my knee hurts to death), and its own servant, the clay puppet, came to serve refreshments, which is also normal hospitality, but it seems that such a large Miaoshen Mountain cultivation ground, only Xiaolongji (princess) and the two ghosts and gods guarding the door are alive!

I haven't seen anyone else along the way, and even things like serving tea are all done by Japanese-style clay puppets constructed by magic, so Sima Qiudao can't help but wonder - a huge dojo, can Xiaolongji (princess) take care of it herself? However, it doesn't seem to have much to do with me, so naturally I don't want to ask too much.

Waiting for Xiaolongji (princess) to put the refreshments on the table and toast the tea, Sima Qiudao hurriedly got up to take the tea, although people do everything themselves, but in the end they are born with a true dragon, the god of a mountain (considered the earth), their own must not be trusted to lose the number of etiquette, and there is no one to laugh at themselves for being a barbarian who does not understand the etiquette.

That's not a shame, especially in front of such a beautiful beauty......

Well, cough cough, it seems that Sima Qiu Dao is a little, hehe, I don't want to think about it, the little dragon Ji (princess) is the real dragon mountain god, don't look at the name called Xiao Long Ji, that is compared with other dragon gods, for mortals, it is still not better.

In short, after some polite courtesy, he finally got to the point, Sima Qiudao first excused himself by being chased by demons and had to go east to Japan to hide, because he was smuggling, so he had no identity, and he didn't dare to show up at will in densely populated places in order to avoid trouble.

When his family traveled to the foot of Mt. Hiei, he keenly noticed that the mountain seemed to be passive, there was an inexplicable enchantment to drive mortals, and some monsters began to haunt the neighborhood.

Because his family was originally to avoid disaster and prevent being hunted down by the demons in his hometown, he was very sensitive to this kind of thing; Because I wasn't sure if it was for my own arrangement and wanted to secretly find out, I rushed into the mountain to investigate one day, and as a result, I bumped into the tragic situation of the destruction of Enryakuji Temple on Mt. Hiei. The commission was made while his presiding officer was still alive. (Here is a brief introduction to the opening article again in order to cover up the truth that he is a traveler, and hope to obtain a new legal identity)

After finishing speaking, Sima Qiudao took out the Wenzhu entrusted by the host of Enryakuji Temple in Hiei Mountain, and handed it to Xiaolongji (princess), who had become serious.

Needless to say, the recorded images in the Wenzhu are self-explanatory, and when the little dragon (princess) looks at it completely from beginning to end, the Wenzhu finally ends its mission and disappears. Sima Qiu said that the little dragon princess saw the real murderer who attacked the Enryakuji Temple on Hiei Mountain, so she took the opportunity to tell her story about her experience of encountering demons many times along the way, from the foot of the mountain outside the Enryaku Temple to the Miaoshen Mountain.

Especially in the small town that was assassinated by the ghost path and the dilapidated shrine that was occupied, the unscrupulous young witch who was willing to be a lackey of the monster demon clan as a human soul slayer, and the great tengu who was the martial saint of the demon clan was also a subordinate of the same party, etc.

Of course, regarding the bitter battle that night, Sima Qiudao covered up and deleted a lot of content in the form of nine truths and one falsehood, especially about himself being temporarily controlled and using the dark demonic qi to turn the tables against the sky, all of which were concealed and not mentioned. Throw as much of the pot as possible to the dead Koyasan Kongoji mana monk and demon exorcist Mochizuki Shuangjiao, and take out his relics, the three-cobalt pestle and the rosary (a rosary that seems to have been practiced on a special pilgrimage), and give it to Ryuhime (princess). Use this as physical evidence to show that what you say is the truth......

Anyway, Mochizuki Shuangjiao is dead, and even the soul has been collected by his own family, and the completely scrapped shrine and three corpses have been destroyed by Sima Qiudao under the pretext that there is not even a slag left. Even if someone went to investigate, it would only be as Sima Qiudao said. The entire town would come out to testify to Sima and thank him for his kindness in his efforts to exorcise the demons. This matter has been arranged by Sima Qiudao seamlessly.

Xiao Longji (Princess) really didn't see any suspicions, and deduced from the clues given by Sima Qiudao that the demonic female high-ranking demon clan who appeared on the scene was the real culprit who destroyed the Enryakuji Temple in Mt. Hiei. Even her identity Xiaolongji (princess) did not hide it and told Sima Qiudao - the bewitching woman was named Medusa.

Originally, she was a member of the dragon god clan like Princess Xiaolong, but later she betrayed the dragon clan and cut herself off from many gods in the entire heavenly realm, and instead directly degenerated into the demon world and became a middle-to-high-level demon noble. It seems that a certain highness of the Demon Realm (this is an honorific title for the existence that truly possesses the rank of the Demon God) intervened in it.

It can be said that Medusa has now become a disgrace and public enemy of the dragon god clan, especially with the little dragon princess, and it is not an exaggeration to count the two sides as old enemies. After listening to Xiaolongji (princess)'s explanation, Sima Qiudao was relieved that the traitor Medusa of the Dragon God clan had something to do with his own, although he almost killed this banshee that night, but his identity was not exposed, so there was nothing to worry about.

What's more, it seems that the little dragon princess has a bold and unrestrained style, and she has successfully won her trust with her careful arrangement and cover-up, so it shouldn't be a problem to think about the goal she is seeking this time.

PS - Celestial Protoss, the so-called Protoss is not actually a god, but should be called "Celestial" exactly. Compared to mortals in the human world, the celestial races are diverse, and they are born with very strong strength and strange talents. Calling it a Protoss is just out of the envy and awe of mortals. For example, the dragon god clan, among which there is only one patriarch who can barely be called a god, is still called the dragon god because of his responsibility for Si Yu to transfer water to control the world. Well, just like the Dragon King of the Four Seas. If the celestial beings obtain the title of gods and have the priesthood, they can also be called gods, but they are basically small gods such as the earth, the gods of the land, the gods of the mountains, and the gods of the city. Just like being an official in the world has duties and official seals, the real ability depends on one's ability to cultivate. can't be compared with the real gods and demon gods, that is like a monarch and emperor, who speaks the law and uses it for his own use.
