Chapter 47: Arrival

Sima Qiu thanked Xiaolongji (princess) and promised that he would definitely come here to practice in the future. After saying goodbye to the little dragon (princess) and the left and right two ghost gates, Sima Qiudao packed up his bags and happily went down the mountain to Tokyo, the modern RB metropolis in the middle of nowhere......

After descending the mountain, Sima Qiudao went straight to the nearest town, but he still ran into trouble when handling accommodation in the town - it seemed that Sima Qiudao did not have a legal ID card, driver's license, passport and other documents. It stands to reason that you can't stay, and even the innkeeper can directly call the police and send Sima Qiudao in to eat free pork chop rice.

In the end, I took out the apprenticeship GHOSTSWEEPER qualification certificate given by the Koyasan Shingon sect to successfully get it, because although the profession of exorcism scavenger has little intersection with ordinary people, even the vast majority of ordinary people, especially residents of big cities, do not believe in ghosts and monsters (but in the countryside, people are very convinced).

Of course, this is more due to the development of modern civilization and the rise of scientific and technological power. But on the other hand, it is also the relationship between the state power that deliberately conceals and downplays or even misleads, such as what supernatural cases occur and even monsters are infested, and the government has a special agency to deal with such affairs to cover up, and even ordinary police stations have no right to intervene, so that even the police do not know that there are really ghosts and monsters in the world.

It's like the man in black. Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, the profession of GHOSTSWEEPER is like the shrine maiden and the presiding priest of the shrine, and it can definitely make any ordinary person feel unfathomable. In addition, as an exorcist scavenger, it is an absolutely high-income industry in big cities, especially Tokyo, Osaka, etc.

THIS IS MAINLY BECAUSE THE SERVICE OBJECTS OF GHOSTSWEEPER ARE BASICALLY WEALTHY CLASSES, ENTERPRISES, CONSORTIA AND EVEN THE GOVERNMENT, SO THE RETURN AFTER COMPLETING THE COMMISSION IS VERY RICH (IT SEEMS THAT ORDINARY PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD TO HIRE GHOSTSWEEPER, IF THERE IS REALLY SOMETHING AND THERE IS NOT MUCH MONEY, YOU CAN ONLY TURN TO SHRINES OR TEMPLES, BUT NOT ALL SHRINES AND TEMPLES HAVE REAL MYSTERIOUS PEOPLE IN CHARGE, MOST OF THEM DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO EXORCISE DEMONS, That is, relying on the feng shui formation inherited from the ancestors and some utensils with various energies to simply ward off evil spirits and dispel filth).

HOWEVER, THERE ARE ALMOST NO WEAK PEOPLE IN THE GHOSTSWEEPER INDUSTRY, AND THE BARRIERS TO ENTRY ARE VERY STRICT. WITH RB, THE PROFESSIONALISM AND ELITISM OF THE DOMESTIC GHOSTSWEEPER INDUSTRY ARE EVEN FAR GREATER THAN THOSE OF THE ANCIENT INDUSTRY OF MERCENARIES AND KILLERS. The high degree of elitism and the fact that the opponents are all demons and monsters will naturally have a high income. In modern society, the most obvious and practical measure of a person's social status is the level of their legitimate monetary income. Therefore, with this certificate in hand, although it is troublesome, Sima Qiudao can be regarded as a normal travel and accommodation.

Unlike the Celestial Empire, in RB, in fact, many times you don't need to take an ID card, you only need to show a legal driver's license, and things like accommodation and travel can be easily handled. However, Sima Qiudao feels that it is safest to get a real legal identity document as soon as possible, and the previous promise of Xiaolongji (Princess) in Miaoshenshan seems to be just a fellow Daoist on the mysterious side, and the legal identity of this secular society seems to have to be handled again, which also proves from the side that the cute Xiaolongji (Princess) is really a god who does not eat the fireworks and dust of the world, hehe......

Sima Qiudao thought of this, and could only smile bitterly. Fortunately, Xiaolongji (princess) still gave a way, that is, to go to Tokyo to find the priest Tang Long, who is known as a genius of cultivation, and use his status as a senior director of the Eastern Ghost Sweeper (Demon Scavenger) Association to see if there is a way to solve it.

In any case, Father Tang Long, as the head snake of the land, must have more information than Sima Qiudao, an outsider who does not know the situation.

In addition, according to information obtained from Mochizuki Shuangjiao, the GHOSTSWEEPER (Demon Scavenger) Association is nominally a private trade organization. But in fact, it is also officially recognized by RB as having a semi-official background.

ALTHOUGH THE RB GOVERNMENT ALSO HAS ITS OWN EXORCISM AGENCY (YES, BUT IT'S NOT BIG, AND THERE AREN'T MANY PERSONNEL, AFTER ALL, COMPARED TO THE HIGH RETURNS AND INDUSTRY STATUS OF THOSE CIVIL FREEDOM GHOSTSWEEPERS, PEOPLE WHO REALLY HAVE THEIR OWN CAN'T LOOK DOWN ON THE DEAD WAGES GIVEN BY THE GOVERNMENT AT ALL, AND THEY HAVE TO BE OBLIGED TO ACT LIKE ORDINARY CIVIL SERVANTS. Therefore, the basic ones in their ** positions are very poor, almost miscellaneous fish and miscellaneous, and they can only do some work as "men in black". BUT IT'S NOT THAT THERE ARE NO MASTERS, IT'S JUST TOO RARE COMPARED TO THE FOLK GHOSTSWEEPER).

IN MANY CASES, THE RB GOVERNMENT OFTEN INVITES OR HIRES PRIVATE FREE GHOSTSWEEPERS TO CARRY OUT SOME EXORCISM ACTIVITIES THAT ARE INCONVENIENT FOR THE OFFICIAL TO COME FORWARD.

As for the other way, it is to ask Koyasan Kongoji Temple to teach the Dharma to Ayanli, the mountain monk Ruguang for help?

It's a pity that people didn't have a friendship with Sima Qiudao before, and the connection established through the matter of the exorcist Mochizuki Shuangjiao has already been paid off by using the concession (mentioned in the previous article Mochizuki Shuangjiao) to grant the quasi-apprentice GHOSTSWEEPER qualification, and this can only be obtained with Xiaolongji (princess) as a guarantee.

After all, those bald scoops are big, and Sima Qiudao doesn't treat the bald scoops of Buddhism very much in his heart, and he doesn't want to deal with them unless necessary. In this way, in the end, it depends on the relationship of the little dragon (princess). It's so worthwhile to get to know the little dragon (princess), and the next time we see each other, we must express our gratitude sincerely.

Sima Qiudao, who took the train, didn't say anything all the way and arrived in Tokyo smoothly, but it was still troublesome to find the genius GHOSTSWEEPER Father Tanglong that Xiaolongji (princess) said, Tokyo is an international metropolis, ranking first in RB China, with a population of tens of millions, and it is really troublesome to find someone.

IT MAY BE BETTER TO GO DIRECTLY TO THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE GHOSTSWEEPER ASSOCIATION IN TOKYO, WHERE FR. TANG LONG IS ONE OF THE SENIOR DIRECTORS, AND THERE MUST BE CONTACT DETAILS AND ADDRESSES. However, it seems that this kind of thing could not be done on the day Sima Qiudao first arrived in Tokyo City, at least he had to find a place to rest first.

Thinking about these trivial matters, Sima begged, opened the brochure on the seat in the carriage to introduce the city of Tokyo, and browsed it, an organization like the GHOSTSWEEPER Association, which is famous on the mysterious side of the world, should be located in the most prosperous commercial district in Tokyo, right? The train ends at Shinjuku Station in Tokyo, so let's take a look at the most famous business district in Tokyo and the entire RB region.

Shinjuku Ward is one of the 23 administrative districts in RB Tokyo, and it is also one of the most prosperous business districts. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office (Tokyo Metropolitan Government) is located in the ward and is one of the urban cores of Tokyo. Commercial and entertainment facilities are complete, colleges and universities are concentrated, and there are many large corporate headquarters.

Shinjuku Station is one of the most important transportation hubs on the west side of the city, including the JR Yamanote Line, the JR Chuo Main Line, the JR Sobu Line, and the headquarters of the private railway companies Keio Electric Railway and Odakyu Electric Railway.

There is an area in the Higashi-Shinjuku area, the administrative center of Tokyo, which is the most lively and chaotic traditional shopping street area, which is the famous red light district - Kabukicho, which has about 3,000 bars, clubs, inns and other entertainment venues of various sizes and styles, not only for heterosexuals, but also for 2-chome is a famous place for gay men in Asia, and there are many places for lesbians in 3-chome, and you can see many foreign tourists in Kabukicho. There are also many entertainment venues that are membership-based and not open to outsiders, all of which are within the Shinjuku area.
