Chapter 306 The Beginning of the New Year (3)
"Monster?" Hearing this word, Yan Ci in the mourning hall was a little emotional. He said: "I didn't expect Mr. Qian to actually want to ask this? It's been a long time since I heard anyone talk about it. That kind of thing. The last time I saw this word, apart from TV programs, there were only ancient scrolls left over from the past...
However, I have a question, why did Mr. Qian come to me instead? Mr. Ashiya? As a rare great onmyoji, his research on monsters is much better than ours. I think if Mr. Qian asked him, Mr. Ashiya would definitely tell you everything." He was very curious about it.
Why did you come to the mourning hall Yanci? Why bother asking? Of course it's because Qian Xiaoyi can't trust that old guy anymore.
It's not that Qian Xiaoyi suspects that he is related to those harmful monsters. After all, Ashiya Jisuke is a middleman synonymous with "fairness". If he is known to be doing such a thing, he will not be able to continue doing it. Went down.
It's just that as a broker, or a spiritual agent, Ashiya Jisuke has countless contacts. He might know the mastermind behind those things. If Qian Xiaoyi can find him and get information, then others can also get information from him. Get Qian Xiaoyi's information.
After all, Qian Xiaoyi doesn’t think that his face can be greater than money. He and Ashiya Yoshisuke are just casual acquaintances, so he is unwilling to go to Ashiya Yoshisuke.
Iwama Shrine is different. First of all, in terms of status in the industry, Iwama Shrine may not be as good as Ashiya Kisuke, but it will not succumb to the other party. It is considered a powerful and independent existence, and it is also very aware of the surrounding situation. learn.
Then there is the reputation. After Qian Xiaoyi’s inquiries during this period, Iwajian Shrine has had a good reputation for hundreds of years. Some resentful spirits will take the initiative to exorcise them. Not to mention Tokyo where cults are rampant, even the entire industry can be regarded as a breath of fresh air.
The last thing is the inheritance of the other party. This kind of ancient family generally researches ghosts and ghosts, but it is much better than the half-way monks like Kito. It will definitely be rewarding to pay a visit, and it is good to at least exchange experiences. .
To sum up, Qian Xiaoyi has long wanted to find time to pay a visit, but due to too many commissions, he never took the time. Now that he was free, he suddenly thought of this, so he took a ride here. .
"To be honest, I don't like to go to places like Huangquanwu." Qian Xiaoyi said: "Although I know he won't do anything to me, I always feel uncomfortable in that kind of place. , It's like walking into a room full of traps."
"Is that so?" Lingtang Yanci nodded and accepted the reason.
Perhaps in the eyes of some fellow spiritualists, the Underworld House is a mysterious club where you can drink, exchange information, and take on tasks. You will not feel dangerous, but will feel very safe. , because Ashiya Jisuke is in charge, no one dares to mess around.
But the more powerful the Spirit Exterminators are, the more they can feel the power contained in the Underworld House. They do not treat Ashiya Jisuke as a neutral "authority" like their counterparts, but Think of it as being on the same level as yourself and capable of threatening your own existence.
So they will instinctively be wary of that place.
Qian Xiaoyi is undoubtedly a spiritual exterminator of this level. "I understand." Mingtang Yanci said: "I am deeply honored that Mr. Qian can think of Iwajian Shrine, and I am very happy to communicate with Mr. Qian. So, what specifically does Mr. Qian want to ask? I must know "Nothing is wrong."
Qian Xiaoyi said: "Let's talk about the definition of monsters first. Although our two countries have many things in common in terms of monster culture, the process of spreading Maybe there will be differences gradually. I would like to first understand the views on monsters here.”
In terms of the definition of ghosts, the Japanese people are not very clear about the definition of ghosts. Wraiths can be monsters. Strange natural phenomena can also be monsters. Even some weirdos can turn into monsters. Even the monsters in urban legends are monsters. Unlike Qian Xiaoyi's place, monsters, elves, and ghosts are clearly distinguished, so he thought Hear what the professionals have to say here.
"Okay." Yanci said in the mourning hall: "Then I will start. According to the traditional definition, the so-called monsters are actually the collective name for monsters born when the filthy air of heaven and earth gathers on something, but Mr. Qian I also know that among spirit masters, in order to distinguish the characteristics of various monsters, there are still differences between monsters, and the definitions of different schools are also different. I am mainly talking about the sayings passed down from our family. "
The mourning hall Yan Ci began to talk about his classification of ghosts.
The first is the mythical type, which basically only exists in mythology. It often exists as an enemy of the gods. In some places, it is also worshiped as a god and only exists in ancient books.
Then there is the most common type of spirit body. This kind of thing is relatively common for psychics. It often exists in places with extremely heavy yin energy. There are only certain grievances with names. Only spirits can be called monsters, but the ghosts with names tend to be mythical and are rarely seen in normal times.
Next is the category of gods. Although Shintoism has been integrated into the culture of Buddhism and Taoism, its source is local shamanism. It is believed that all things have animism, which is the so-called eight million gods, all of which mortals do not understand. Any existence may be embodied as a monster. Here, the boundary between monsters and gods is very blurred. Nowadays, some rural areas still have offerings to these monsters (gods). This type can only be encountered in very remote places.
Finally, there is the legendary category.
The mourning hall Yan Ci said: "According to the records, this type of monster is different from the mythical monster. There are countless evidences to prove its real existence. In addition to the spirit body, apart from the ghosts that are most commonly solved by spiritual masters, , this is it."
"Real existence?" Qian Xiaoyi asked: "You mean, there is a physical existence?"
The mourning hall looked at Qian Ci strangely. Xiao Yi took a look and didn't understand why he asked this? If there is no entity, is it still called a monster? So Lingtang Yanci said: "Yes, this type of monster often has a physical existence. It may be a person or some kind of object. When the bad luck from heaven and earth gathers on that thing, monsters will be derived. Then legends gradually evolved, making them more powerful and even affecting the modern world."
Qian Xiaoyi asked: "You mean, like the ghosts in urban legends, such as the cracked girl. Classes also have entities, and their entities are hidden in a certain space?”
When talking about the cracked girl, the mourning hall was silent for a while, and then continued: "Yes, we think so. If Mr. Qian knows what happened 18 years ago, then it should be clear that if it is not a person with It is impossible for a physical giant monster to cause that level of casualties."
