Chapter 126 The House of Underworld (7)
After calming down, Qian Xiaoyi asked: "Is there anything else I want to know?"
"Originally, there is, but No more." Ashiya Jisuke said with a smile: "Come to me. There is actually a link for the newcomers in the store, but Qian Jun is a smart man, so there is no need."
"A show of force, right?" Qian Xiaoyi said: "Teach the newcomers a lesson. Pretentious guys, be honest and they will be more conservative "Rules."
"That's right." Ashiya Jisuke said appreciatively: "Under normal circumstances, after sending an invitation letter to a newly-minted spiritual master, he often has to wait for one or two months, sometimes even It took them half a year to find Lao Chan. , it takes half a month for faster ones. It’s rare to get here on the same day. Newcomers who can do it so quickly show that they are quite talented, so I don’t mind giving them some preferential treatment. It’s an early investment. So, what do you have? Want to ask? ”
"Yes, for example, that little ghost girl..." Qian Xiaoyi turned to look at the little girl in kimono who was busy happily and said, "She has been dead for a long time, right? It's such a shame to let such a young lady work here. Violating labor laws and employing child labor. "
Inuyama Heita was a little surprised. He couldn't even feel that the girl was a ghost. It felt like a real person. If it was Taken in front of him, he would definitely notice it immediately. to the fact that the other party is a spirit body.
"Have you actually been noticed? Among so many newcomers, you are the first to notice it. It seems that you are really extraordinary, Mr. Qian..." Ashiya Jisuke was also a little surprised, but then he He smiled bitterly: "She is the old granddaughter. Because of some She died unexpectedly, so I created this place for her to move around. Don’t tell her about it.”
“That’s it,” Qian Xiaoyi said, “Those things about Huang Quan. The rumors about the house were also spread by you, for It is for this purpose to consolidate the existence of this izakaya in this narrow space of life and death, and even invite new people here. Is everything because of her? "
Ashiya? Jisuke's face became increasingly ugly, and he hurriedly Said: "Hey, hey, hey~ This is an old secret. Only people close to it know it. Why can you see it at a glance? Isn't it too outrageous? Are the newcomers now monsters? Stop talking and let others listen. What to do?”
"There is a barrier, so what are you afraid of?" Qian Xiaoyi smiled and asked, "Then when do you plan to free her? Although her soul can maintain its form in this place, being locked up here all year round is not enough. It's so pitiful. "
Ashiya Jisuke said helplessly: "Forgive the lonely heart of a lonely old man. He is very old now and will probably be gone in a few years. By then, I will Walking with her... Can you change the topic?"
"Okay." This is a private matter. Qian Xiaoyi just saw the little girl's spirit and asked, as long as it was nothing. He was too lazy to meddle in other people's private affairs because of such outrageous matters. He looked at Inuyama Heita and said, "You've been peeking at this old man just now. Do you have anything you want to ask? Let's ask now."
Ashiya Kisuke also quickly said: "I'm sorry, I was so involved in chatting with Qian Jun that I forgot about you, little brother, so just ask." He didn't want to talk about related topics with Qian Xiaoyi anymore. The young man coming from across the sea made him feel a little uncomfortable. His eyes were too poisonous.
Heita Inuyama heard this and asked: "I'm sorry...Um, excuse me, Mr. Ashiya, since you are a descendant of the legendary Onmyoji Ashiya Michitsu, that is to say, on Abe Seimei's side Is Onmyoji still here?”
Ashiya Jisuke said: "The Tsuchimikado family? Like the Ashiya family, there are not many people left, but they are still there, but they usually only move around in Kyoto." Seeing that this old gentleman has no airs, Inuyama Heita He asked curiously: "Then you and them are still mortal enemies?"
"It's not so long ago." Ashiya Jisuke said with a smile: "Those hatreds have been there for more than a hundred years. When the former Yin and Yang dormitories were disbanded, they also The smoke has dissipated, and now everyone is living in a state of survival. We are lucky to be able to pass on the inheritance. How can we care about the grudges a thousand years ago? "
"Ah, that's right..." Inuyama Heita suddenly Thinking of something, he asked: "The little sister just now is your granddaughter. Are there anyone else in your family?" If he was really the only one left, wouldn't it mean that the famous Ashiya Michitoshi was actually there? Are you going to be extinct in this era?
"Of course." Ashiya Yoshisuke said: "There are still many people in the family who stay in their hometown in the countryside to enjoy their lives. Young people don't want to learn these things. Only the old ones came to Tokyo and have old bones. You still have to work, otherwise the reputation of the Ashiya family will really decline. Really... Speaking of work, young people today are so lazy. I have a friend's child who only worked for a day or two and then started yelling that he didn't want to do it anymore... …”
Ashiya Kisuke started to complain to them about the political situation and the current situation of society like an ordinary old man. Finally, he moved to another izakaya that was not as good as his. How could he look like an onmyoji with his nagging? Qian Xiaoyi glanced at Inuyama Heita accusingly: What kind of stupid questions are you asking? Are we here to make a homely meal?
Inuyama Heita looked back with an apologetic look: I didn't expect it to be like this...
But after a while, Ashiya Kisuke noticed. He coughed awkwardly and said: "Cough ...Well, people become verbose as they get older, and their brains are a bit hard to use. Sorry."
"It's okay, this is an izakaya after all," Qian Xiaoyike. The formula: "Speaking freely is the essence of an izakaya."
"Yes, that's right~" Ashiya Jisuke laughed loudly: "This is a good saying. Many people come here and they only know how to fight. I'm afraid that I might have said something wrong, but if that's the case, why would I open an izakaya? It seems that Mr. Qian and I get along very well, so I'll give you a piece of advice."
"Please tell me," Qian Xiaoyi said.
Koshisuke Ashiya put away his smile and said: "Don't focus all your attention on those ghosts. People are much scarier than ghosts."
Qian Xiaoyi was stunned and asked: "You mean, let me be careful about the next revenge from Kido Ryukou?"
Ashiya Jisuke said: "I didn't intend to take care of the business conflicts between you kids. As an outsider, he naturally attracts more hatred, so he is destined to conflict with those small and xenophobic groups. Their ability to remove spirits is average, but they like to use some extraneous tricks.
But I know that. You are capable. Even if they take you out in the end, they themselves will not be much better. They will only lose both sides and things may get out of hand. So let’s see, I’ve changed my mind. I will arrange a fair competition opportunity for you. The winner will be the king and the loser will be the bandits. I wonder if you are willing to accept it? ”
