Chapter 124 The House of Underworld (5)

“Welcome.”

Qian Xiaoyi and Inuyama Heita opened the door curtain and entered the izakaya. The noisy sound disappeared immediately, and a man wearing a red kimono short hair The girl bowed to them both and said: "Welcome to the Huangquan House."

The girl looked about ten years old. She had a serious look on her face. She looked cute but energetic, giving people a A sense of intimacy like the sister next door.

"Ah, yes." Inuyama Heita subconsciously returned the gift, and then was stunned, where is the evil Onmyoji that he promised?

"Little girl, where are your adults?" Qian Xiaoyi looked at the girl and asked.

The girl said: "Grandpa knows that you two are coming, and is preparing drinks for the guests. Please take a seat here first."

The two sat on the bar, Inuyama As soon as Pingtai sat down, he felt a sense of peeping. He looked back and saw the little girl holding a teapot and filling an empty table with tea.

"There is something over there, but there is a barrier and we can't see each other." Qian Xiaoyi said: "Heitaro, stop acting like a country bumpkin and drink tea first." After that, he took care of himself. He held the cup and took a sip.

Heita Inuyama looked at the steaming tea in front of him, his face a little ugly. He remembered the story Qian Xiaoyi told before.

"Don't worry, drink it." Qian Xiaoyi said.

"Is it really drinkable?" Heita Inuyama asked in surprise: "Could it be that this is ordinary tea? I thought everything in this place was fake."

Qian Xiaoyi said: "It is indeed fake." Then he took another sip.

“Eh?”

“If I must say it.” Qian Xiaoyi looked at the teacup in his hand and said, “This is the ‘ghost’ of tea, which only exists in the ghost realm. It’s just that this cup of tea is very pure, without any resentment or anything like it, so it’s okay to drink it. If this was real tea, I wouldn’t dare to drink it.”

"The ghost of tea?" Inuyama Heita didn't understand for a while.

"Qian Jun has really good eyesight." An old man with a silver ponytail came out of the kitchen carrying a jug of wine. He was clean-shaven and wearing a white T-shirt. With the word "Yellow Springs" written on it, he looks like an ordinary izakaya owner. Putting the wine bottle in front of the two of them, the old man smiled and said: "As expected of the spirit exterminator who came over there, you can actually tell it at a glance. You must know that many people are just like this Inuyama guy when they first come here. , I dare not touch anything, I wasted a lot of good things.”

“Put aside the pleasantries for now, what do you call this old Onmyoji master?” Qian Xiaoyi shook the tea cup and said it bluntly. asked.

"Old man?" The old man said while placing the wine glass: "The old man's name is Ashiya Kisuke. You two must have guessed it. The man who was as famous as Abe Seimei, Ashiya Michimi, was my family. Ancestor." Speaking of this name, a trace of pride appeared on the old man's face.

"Disrespectful." Qian Xiaoyi complimented him without sincerity. He didn't feel the name, and then he asked: "Then, what is the purpose of Mr. Ashiya inviting us here? No. You just want to invite us for tea and drinks, right? It's really flattering to receive a letter from an unknown source." Ashiya Jisuke said with a smile, "Sorry, although our store is not big, not everyone can do it. This is the simplest way to distinguish between parallel imports and genuine spiritual masters. Please forgive me if there is any discomfort to you, but as long as you are a successful customer, you will be regarded as a distinguished guest of our store. This first glass of wine is free. As for you, Inuyama, I will keep it for you until the day you grow up.”

He poured the wine into the wine glass in front of Qian Xiaoyi and said: "This wine is called 'Dream Like Fantasy', please."

Qian Xiaoyi sighed, He said: "Is this another test? Can't you be more honest? After so many steps..." He smelled the wine glass and didn't smell any alcohol. It was as plain as a glass of cold water.

"There is always a sense of ritual in life, and this is indeed a good wine that our shop is proud of. It would be a pity if you came here without trying it." Ashiya Kisuke said with a smile: "Please Use it, it won’t taste good after being stored for a long time.”

“Okay.” Qian Xiaoyi pouted. I heard that in the old society, there were many rules for outsiders to worship the mountain. It is nothing more than a test of a person's courage and ability, so Qian Xiaoyi regards it as a life experience. Under Inuyama Heita's worried eyes, he drank the glass of wine in one gulp, making Inuyama Heita hold his breath. It was said that drinking that wine would lead to hell!

"Hmm...this thing...is a bit high." After drinking it, Qian Xiaoyi's eyes became a little wandering, but just a few seconds later, he shook his head and sighed: "It's actually condensed. The inspiration of the drunkards in this area is so concentrated that most people can’t drink it.”

“Well, I didn’t lie to you, did I?” Ashiya Jisuke laughed: “It’s guaranteed to be a good drink. "

Qian Xiaoyi said: "It is indeed a good wine. For people who like to drink, it is simply the best. You can drink it no matter how much you spend. But will you be able to get out alive after drinking it? Well...it just depends on one's strength and luck."

"Will he really die?" Heita Inuyama said in surprise: "So is that urban legend true?"

"Part of it." Ashiya Jisuke took back the flask and cup, and smiled at Inuyama Heita: "It is indeed possible for ordinary people to drink to death, but as I said before, not everyone can do this in this shop. Come.”

Qian Xiaoyi took a sip of tea and said: "Well, I found the place and drank the wine. Can we get to the point? Mr. Ashiya, what is your purpose of inviting us over? It's with Kito Ryumitsu. Does it matter?”

“Yes and no.” Ashiya Jisuke said: “The old man did come from Onito. You know, but please don’t misunderstand, it’s not that he requested anything from me, but that I invited you two here on my own initiative.”

Qian Xiaoyi nodded: “That’s right, he’s the kind of person who is in charge. Spiritual Master, how can I hire a great Onmyoji like you?”

“That’s ridiculous, I don’t have the skills of my ancestors?” He is so powerful that he can be called the Great Onmyoji, but..." Ashiya Jisuke said confidently: "In the entire Tokyo... no, in the entire circle of spiritual exorcists in Japan, the words of the old guy still have some weight. , who want to achieve success in this industry, the old man will send them an invitation letter , as long as you can come here, you are a customer of our store, and the same goes for you two." "Well, so you are a businessman who opens a store and does business." Qian Xiaoyi nodded and asked. Said: "Excuse me, what services can I enjoy as a guest of this store?"
