Chapter 782 The Enemy at Honnoji Temple Part 2
This banquet ultimately exceeded Qian Xiaoyi’s budget. Even with those vouchers, Qian Xiaoyi still had a wave of blood, leaving him looking empty. His wallet hurt so much, but luckily he had brought enough money, otherwise he would have had to borrow it from others. As a Chinese, he still needed this face.
After the banquet, Inuyama Heita and Shichijo Masato went back holding their big bellies. These two guys were like eating a high-end buffet. They didn’t regard themselves as outsiders at all. They ordered several extra portions of meat and ate it. So happy, Everyone else at the banquet was chatting and drinking, but they and Suzuki were busy cooking.
Seeing Masato Shichijo's unpromising look, Qian Xiaoyi could hardly help but said to him: "You, sit down later." "The children's table".
However, although it hurts, such a meal is still necessary. After Qian Xiaoyi revealed that the leader of the Spiritual Master Alliance, Mr. Ashiya, may be related to Hyakki, although there is no obvious relationship. It showed that only a few people knew about this, but Qian Xiaoyi found that everyone's morale was still low to a certain extent, so it was better to get them together to relax.
With this foreshadowing, when they face Ashiya Jisuke in the future, they will not reveal their flaws so easily. After all, they are only in the stage of gathering intelligence now, and Ashiya Jisuke should not have discovered their purpose yet.
The next time everyone faced Ashiya Jisuke was just a few days after the banquet, when the Underworld Room opened every half month.
"I always feel a little nervous..." Inuyama Heita and Qian Xiaoyi walked in the deserted alleys of Kabukicho, looking for the entrance to the Yellow Spring House.
Heita Inuyama couldn't help but said: "After knowing that kind of thing, stepping into that place is like stepping into an enemy's circle. It's creepy."
"Don't expose our purpose, Heitaro." Qian Xiaoyi said, "Although I don't know that When will this black-hearted old man stab us in the back? Maybe after we win the staged victory against the Hundred Ghosts, but before that, we are still safe. He probably has his own purpose in establishing this Alliance of Soul Exterminators. , don’t worry about him attacking us now.”
Inuyama Heita was a little surprised: "You mean... Mr. Ashiya and the Hope Sect are not the same group?"
"It's just speculation." Qian Xiaoyi said: "Hakki itself is a combination of various interest groups. organizations, and the leaders of each interest group have ulterior motives. It is impossible for such an organization to be united, so it is not surprising that there are factional struggles. If there was no deterrent power of those saints in the ghost realm, I am afraid that the hundred ghosts would have started civil strife."
"So we. We have to deal with the Hope Teaching first~" Inuyama Heita nodded.
"Okay, don't say these words." Qian Xiaoyi said: "We should enter the opponent's territory soon. Don't talk nonsense or act abnormal after entering. The chance of entering the underworld is very small. There are only two times a month, we have to collect as much intelligence as possible there, if I can crack The magic circle there, then Ashiya Jisuke is not so scary.”
The reason why Qian Xiaoyi didn’t do that before was because once this behavior was discovered, it would be disrespectful to his allies. Originally, as an outsider, it was easy for me to be isolated if I did this kind of thing, but it was different now.
"Even if he's not in the Underworld, he should still be very strong, right?" Heita Inuyama whispered.
"No matter how strong he is, he is just an old man. The human spirit will weaken. If he really takes refuge in Baigui, it means that he is already old." Qian Xiaoyi said: "And our purpose In order to find evidence that he is a Hyakki, it is natural to investigate his underworld first. House, I have always cared about this place since I first came here.”
Hearing Qian Xiaoyi’s explanation, Inuyama Heita stopped talking, and he could also feel that they had already started. We have entered the ghost realm. If we continue chatting, we might be overheard.
They walked to the end of the alley familiarly, and finally saw the familiar izakaya. There were still lively sounds inside, as if this was just a very common tavern in Kabukicho. Same.
I opened the door and walked in. The inside was still the same as before, with an unattractive appearance. "Welcome." Ashiya Kisuke's granddaughter, Xiaoju, turned around with a plate in her hand and said, "Ah, it's Mr. Qian. Please go directly inside. Grandpa and the others are already over there."
"Oh, thank you, Xiaoju." Qian Xiaoyi greeted with a smile. This cute little girl was also the focus of his secret attention.
Walking along the passage, although they couldn't see the other people behind the booth, both Qian Xiaoyi and Inuyama Heita knew that behind the curtain, there were other spiritual exterminators gathering here. After more than ten years of operation, Ashiya Jisuke's Huangquanya has become the stronghold of the spiritual masters in the Kanto region.
According to the prestige of Ashiya Jisuke, as long as he gives an order, he, an outsider, will become the enemy of all spiritual masters.
Qian Xiaoyi walked forward slowly, feeling the structure here. He could vaguely realize that this place also used certain formations, and even had a smell that made Qian Xiaoyi feel familiar. , but many things like Onmyoji come from Taoism in China, and some theories even directly follow the theories in Dao Zang, so even Qian Xiaoyi cannot easily draw conclusions, saying that here It must be related to the lair of Hyakki.
After passing through the shoji gate corridor, they came directly to a corridor. The door at the end of the corridor was open, seeming to invite Qian Xiaoyi and the others in.
Inuyama Heita couldn't help but said: "It seems that every time I come to the Huangquan House, the route I take will change."
Qian Xiaoyi said: "In other people's territory, use the naked eye to observe and record The route is the stupidest, you still have a lot to learn.”
They walked into the room inside, where the several spiritual masters who had barbecued together before were there, as well as some other moneymen. A spiritual exterminator whom Oto is not familiar with, and Ashiya Kisuke as the protagonist.
Qian Xiaoyi also saw an unexpected person.
"Miss Yangzi?" Qian Xiaoyi asked: "Is your body okay?"
Fushigi Yoko said politely: "Ah, thanks to you, it's no longer a serious problem. I just need to recover for a while."
She looked a little haggard. Qian Xiaoyi remembered the first When I first saw her, she was still a carefree and energetic woman.
Because Fushigi Yoko had just been discharged from the hospital not long ago, and Fushigi Yin had just held a funeral, Qian Xiaoyi did not invite her to attend the banquet. Unexpectedly, she came directly to Huangquanwu this time. side.
"Qian Jun, are you here?" Ashiya Jisuke greeted him and said, "Please take a seat. We are planning to discuss how to fight against the Hope Sect next."< br>
