Chapter 395: The Phantom of the Ancient Mansion (I)
Qi Tao thought for a while and asked, "Why did this onmyoji scare Sayuri out?" β
"I don't know, I think there may be some secret in this house, after all, it was handed down from Grandpa Sayuri, and it's not surprising that there are some secrets in this scene."
"One more thing, why didn't he just let the resentful spirit show up and drive Sayuri away on the first day, and wait until the next night?"
Luo Han shook his head: "I don't understand this either, but I'm sure there must be something strange behind this resentful spirit." Takasuke Tsuchigomon once said that resentful spirits do not arise from the death of resentment, and extremely harsh conditions are required, otherwise this world would have been full of evil spirits for a long time, and there would be no place for humans. β
After a pause, Luo Han continued: "No matter what, the resentful spirit must have something to rely on, and the resentment on it is also a special spiritual power fluctuation of the spirit, and there is no way to hide it. Since Xingtong said that he didn't feel it, he should have been taken away from here. We're going to have to wait for time anyway, so we're just going to wait here slowly. β
Qi Tao took out the cane from his sleeve, put it on the cabinet on the side, and said, "Shall we not do anything?" β
Luo Han shook his head and said to Han Qingwei: "You were also a priest before, you should know some basic things, arrange them according to the method of the priest, first, to make these three girls feel a little safe, and second, to mislead the onmyoji behind him, so as not to scare him and dare not appear." β
Han Qingwei nodded: "I'll go buy some materials and come back immediately." β
It's okay here for the time being, Luo Han began to contact Qin Hu to inquire about the progress of the main quest.
Qin Hu and his people were on their way to the Great Divine Palace, because the evil spirits could control the vehicle and cause accidents during the day, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they could only walk, at most they ran normally, and speed was a big problem.
After listening to Qin Hu's introduction, Luo Han only said four words: "It's not my race." β
Qin Hu understood what Luo Han meant, this trial was the last chance to strengthen before the promotion trial, in the promotion trial in the near future, these people were likely to become competitors or even enemies, even if they didn't stumble, they couldn't help them for free, but they should develop more tasks and earn more trial points. After all, Storm is the strongest, and he also has Luo Han, a third-order, and Star Pupil, a strong spiritual power who can deal with evil spirits with half the effort, at least he can't threaten others before they die, so there is no need to bother to complete the main line.
After Luo Han made a suggestion, he cut off the call, woke up Qi Tao, who was hurrying up to catch up on sleep, asked him to look at the point, and went out for a walk by himself, adding a little blockage to the onmyoji of the Tuyumen family, making them run a few more laps, and then got some food and returned to Sayuri's house.
After eating and drinking, Luo Han also made up for sleep. When I woke up, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
Looking left and right, Qi Tao was holding his mobile phone and reading a book while on guard. Han Qingwei was asleep, and Xingtong sat in the middle of a pile of comic books, reading the comics intently. The three girls are still sleeping soundly, and it seems that they are too tired these days.
Qi Tao saw Luo Han sit up and move his body, and said, "Captain, you're awake." I found something interesting while you were asleep. β
"What's that?"
Qi Tao stretched out his hand and pointed upstairs: "You can go up and have a look." β
Luo Han didn't doubt him, and walked up the stairs. As soon as his head poked out, Luo Han knew what Qi Tao was talking about. The entire second floor turned out to be a whole room, with no partition at all, and there was an empty space in the middle. There are flags in the four corners of the room, and you can make out that the flags have four big characters written on them: "gold", "wood", "water" and "fire". The bookshelves placed next to the flags enclose the whole room, and the bookshelves are all quaint thread-bound books. Luo Han walked to the nearest row of bookshelves and glanced at the titles, which turned out to be all kinds of books such as the five elements of yin and yang, and even books signed by Huaxiaren.
Where does this look like a merchant's study? It is clearly a library of the Onmyoji sect or a library of university scholars specializing in the study of the five elements of yin and yang.
Luo Han picked up a book at random and flipped through it, it was really a simple theory book, and it didn't involve the use of magic and Taoism, but the theory in it was obviously not very scientific, and it was a bit deified.
Luo Han picked up a few more books and looked at them, although the content was different, the themes were similar, and they were completely in the category of metaphysics.
"Isn't this Sayuri family ancestor also an onmyoji? This onmyoji who controls evil spirits may have deliberately scared Sayuri away in order to find something that Sayuri's family had handed down. Luo Han put the book back on the shelf, looked around again, and found that there was a thick layer of dust on the ground, and there were obvious footprints behind him. Strange, if the other party is here to look for something, why didn't they leave footprints? Did he deliberately cover it up? There's no need at all. Could it be that the other party is not looking for something here? β
Luo Han walked down to the second floor, sat next to Qi Tao, and asked, "What do you think?" β
Qi Tao put down his phone and shook his head: "I don't have a clue, I just guess that it may be related to this house." β
Luo Han thought about it, walked to Sayuri's side, hesitated, and woke up the girl.
Sayuri opened her eyes in a daze, glanced at Luo Han, was stunned, and only came to her senses for a long time, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Master." β
Luo Han asked, "How did you sleep?" β
Sayuri nodded: "I've never slept so soundly." Thank you, Master. By the way, master, that ...... Did you catch the wraith? β
Luo Han shook his head: "I haven't found any resentful spirits, I think it may not be here now." Let me ask you a question, what did your grandfather do? β
Sayuri wondered, "Why is the master asking this?" β
"Just answer."
"Hmm...... Grandpa, he's a teacher. β
Luo Han frowned: "Then what's going on upstairs in your house?" β
Sayuri thought for a moment and said, "Are you talking about those strange books?" It's been like that for as long as I can remember. I asked my father, and he said that it was collected by his grandfather before and that he would not let me touch it. Because I have a small family, the space on the first floor is large enough, so no one has been taking care of the second floor, and even the aunt who is a housekeeper will not clean the second floor. β
After a slight pause, Sayuri said: "I went up with Nanako and Akemi before, and Dad didn't blame us when he found out, just asked us not to mess with the books on the shelves, I think there should be nothing strange...... Gollum ......"
Sayuri's stomach rang uncontrollably, and the girl's face flushed with shame. Luo Han shrugged and said, "Let's go out to eat and wake them up." β
"Yes, Master."
Luo Han watched Sayuri wake up Nanako and Akemi, and suddenly asked, "Nanako, Akemi, haven't you been home these days?" Won't your family be worried? β
Nanako said: "We're the same as Sayuri, we don't have anyone at home, so we're scared. β
Luo Han understood, it seems that the three of them are the types with good family backgrounds and super busy parents, no wonder they will become good friends.
"Let's go, where is there good food nearby, you should be familiar with it."
Sayuri said, "I know there's a rotating sushi that's very good, and I'll lead the way." β
Eating at a sushi restaurant, the three girls soon saw what it means to have a big stomach. Stacks of plates quickly accumulated around Luo Han Qi Tao, and the Xing Pupil was only slightly inferior, and even Han Qingwei was also a plate.
Soon the behavior of the four of them provoked the owner of the rotating sushi restaurant, and a middle-aged man in his forties with his hair in a bun walked up to Luo Han and said with a serious face: "Sir, sushi is a delicious food, please enjoy it with the attitude of tasting food, not just as an ingredient to fill your stomach." β
Luo Han said a little inexplicably: "What are you talking about?" Isn't food meant to be eaten? β
The middle-aged man said with a straight face: "You're right, but such exquisite and delicious sushi, you should taste it carefully, chew it slowly, and not swallow it in a big gulp like a rice ball." It's disrespectful to sushi and to the chefs who work so hard to make these foods. Now I ask you to leave here immediately in the name of the boss, you are not welcome here. β
Not only the middle-aged man, but also the nearby diners also talked about it, expressing their dissatisfaction with Luo Han's way of eating. Luo Han somewhat understood, it was like seeing a cow chewing peonies, but Luo Han really couldn't understand how it could rise to the point of disrespect when he ate a meal?
"Sir, I think you're mistaken, it's not that we disrespect food, it's just that they're so delicious......"
"Please get out!" The serious boss almost snarled.
Qi Tao's face turned cold, and he wanted to give this guy a little color, Luo Han pulled him, took out a stack of yen and put it on the table, and walked outside without looking back.
Han Qingwei and Xing Tong immediately followed, and the three girls were a little embarrassed, and chased them out while apologizing.
"This guy is too arrogant, even if it is a five-star restaurant, there is no reason to rush people because customers eat faster and eat more. What kind of thing is he? Ahh Qi Tao spat on the ground, angry.
Luo Han was not very happy, anyone who encountered this kind of thing would not be in a good mood.
Xingtong asked, "Brother, do you want Xingtong to help you teach this nasty guy a lesson?" The star pupils are not yet full. β
At this time, I caught up with Sayuri and hurriedly bowed and apologized: "Master, I'm sorry...... I'm sorry...... I beg your pardon for not making it clear to you in advance that Mr. Ozawa is such an old-fashioned person, but he is not a bad person, so please don't blame him. β
Although Luo Han was not happy, he didn't have a hard time with the other party, thought about it and said: "Sayuri, take us to the nearby supermarket, buy something and we'll go back to make a hot pot to eat, so that no one will blame us for the large amount of food." β
Sayuri busily led the way in front and arrived at a supermarket.
Everyone scattered to buy ingredients, and Akemi Kurosawa walked up to Luo Han and asked, "Master, so you're actually from Huaxia, right?" You're not a Japanese onmyoji? β
Luo Han said as he picked out the things: "To be precise, we are not all Huaxia, there are genuine priests between us, and as for me, although I have a different way from the Onmyoji xiΕ«liΓ n, I can also deal with evil spirits." So you can rest assured that you will be safe with us. β
Akemi thought for a moment and said, "Actually, we lied, and we didn't go home because no one at home was afraid. β
Luo Han turned his head to look over, and Akemi hesitated to unbutton the school uniform, revealing snow-white skin. Luo Han's pupils shrank slightly, and there was a blood-red handprint on Mingmei's chest, which stretched all the way to the collarbone.
When Akemi saw Luo Han see it, she rebuttoned it and said with a wry smile, "Since we met that resentful spirit at Sayuri's house that day, we have found that this thing has appeared on our bodies. We can't sleep because we don't see evil spirits, but because we ...... Because...... The location of the handprints was occasionally very itchy, and we didn't dare to go home for fear of being found by our family wearing loose clothes at home, so we lied and said that we were staying at Sayuri's house. We had planned to wait until Onmyoji came to solve the problem and then we could eliminate this thing. β
Luo Han thought for a moment, this kind of mark is actually similar to the death mark, both are used to lock on to the target, but this is obviously much lower-level.
"Why didn't you tell us before?"
Akemi said helplessly: "Because we found out that you were not Japanese from the beginning, we suspected that you were a liar, but we really couldn't help it, so we took you to Sayuri's house." Because this heart is here, we are afraid that you will do bad things, so we will not tell you for the time being. β
"I'm curious, you've been with us, how do you communicate?"
"We have our own sign language, and it's OK to have our back to you when we're riding. Since I haven't had any pain since I was with you and I slept well, we think you are really capable, so we decided to confess to you, hoping that you don't blame us. β
Luo Han solved a question, why he couldn't find the resentful spirit in Sayuri's house during the day. The reason is that the three of them have marks on their bodies, and the onmyoji behind the resentful spirits can easily detect their return, and he should know very well that most of the three girls dare to come back, and his resentful spirits are too fragile during the day, so they dodge in advance.
Luo Han just nodded in response and continued to focus on buying ingredients. After a short time, several people left the supermarket with large bags and small bags of things and returned home.
Luo Han threw the ingredients on the floor and said to Qi Tao: "The hot pot is handed over to you, I'll ask something." Then he turned to Akemi and said, "You come with me." β
The two entered the next room, closed the door, and Luo Han said, "If it's convenient, can you let me take a closer look at that handprint?" β
Mingmei's face turned red, they didn't want to say it before because they were afraid of this kind of thing, if Luo Han was a liar, it would be a big loss. But now that it is confirmed that Luo Han is indeed capable, and judging from his behavior at the sushi restaurant, he doesn't look like a bad person, so he doesn't have too many scruples.
Akemi took off her shirt, and the blood-red handprints looked particularly shocking in the light.
