"In ancient times, there was a monster with a snake body and nine heads, which could eat countless people. It was named Xiangliu. Wherever it went, it affected the whole country and brought great disasters to the world. The ancestors of the Onmyoji went through hardships and forged the Tushan Sword.
I killed Xiang Liu's physical body, but failed to kill his spirit. Xiang Liu's spirit is immortal and condensed into crystals, which are the scales I just mentioned." Xi Can responded.
These things are not secrets in themselves, so he said it very straightforwardly.
"Thank you, Great Elder, for clarifying my doubts." No. 93 bowed and saluted.
Xi Can waved his hand: "Do you still have any questions?"
The onmyojis looked at each other, but no one said a word.
"Since there is no doubt, I will take you to your accommodation first, and we will talk about other things tomorrow." Xi Can waited for a while, but when no one spoke, he moved forward.
Everyone followed him and quickly arrived in front of a five-story wooden building. He pointed at the wooden building and said: "When I was explaining the Yin-Yang Lao to you, the Yin-Yang masters who had been removed from the establishment by you had already been vacated.
For the house you lived in before, you can each hold your waist badge and go to the corresponding room."
"Yes." People responded in unison.
Xi Can waved his hand and disappeared in a bright pillar of light. When the remaining light of the light pillar dissipated, Qin Yao, who was among the crowd, suddenly found that everyone's eyes seemed to be focused on him...
"What are you looking at me for?"
The colleagues standing in front of him moved out of the way and said respectfully: "Sir, please go first."
Qin Yao: "..."
The privileges belonging to the powerful Onmyoji were instantly reflected after Xi Can left.
And this privilege is only an insignificant aspect of it, and the title of senior brother is another aspect.
Although the colleagues in the Yin and Yang dormitory do not have a common master, because they study in the same dormitory, they are regarded as senior brothers among their peers.
At present, he is the head of the ten elites and the senior brother of all his colleagues. All kinds of benefits and treatment are only under those of the chief executive and elders.
A short time later, Qin Yao climbed to the fifth floor with greetings and opened the door to the largest of the three rooms with his waist badge. When he saw it, he saw an empty space.
It's impossible not to be empty. There are only three rooms on this floor.
Room No. 1 is the largest, and the two companion rooms are slightly smaller. After Tadayuki has emptied all his belongings, this room is like a spacious hall.
"This is why Onmyojis work so hard to climb up."
Qin Yao came to a row of windows and reached out to open the window in front of him. With the height of the fifth floor, he looked down at the entire Yin Yang Residence and found that the most eye-catching thing was the golden light released from the forbidden area.
"Eh~"
Suddenly, he heard a strange voice coming from somewhere. After carefully sensing it, he couldn't figure out where the voice came from.
Qin Yao's heart moved, and he guessed that the voice was most likely coming from Xiang Liu, so he did not dare to respond easily, lest he cause panic when he first arrived.
Inside the Golden Pagoda.
In scale stone.
The monster with a snake body and nine heads was floating on the black pool, looking at the figures on the fifth floor from a distance, its eyes flickering.
Trying its best to suppress its eager emotions, it dived into the black swamp and never appeared again.
The person looked unfamiliar, and he should be a newcomer who had just entered the dormitory. If he contacted the other party rashly without being sure of his likes, dislikes, and needs, he was afraid that the other party would turn around and tell the top management of Yin Yang Liu.
Wait, wait.
He has been waiting for so many years, and the seal has been loosened, and it doesn't take more than a few days.
Nothing happened all night.
The next day.
Qin Yao was meditating on the futon when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Elder brother, are you up?"
Soon after, Tadayuki's voice sounded outside the door.
Qin Yao slowly finished his work, stepped to the door of the room, stretched out his hand to open the wooden door: "Is something wrong?"
"I'm here to call you for a morning meeting." Zhongxing saluted.
"Morning meeting?" Qin Yao looked surprised.
Tadayuki nodded and said with a smile: "The Onmyoji of Yin Yangliao will gather in front of the main hall every morning to listen to the great elder reading out today's tasks. Those who are interested can take on a certain task and receive certain rewards. This is the morning meeting.
The main content.”
"Do I have to go?"
"It's not necessary. If you have nothing to do, you can go listen and see if there are any interesting tasks." Zhongxing said.
"That's it." Qin Yao bowed his hands in thanks: "Thank you so much, Junior Brother Zhongxing."
"You're welcome, Senior Brother." Zhongxing said respectfully.
Yesterday's battle really defeated him.
Soon, the two people gathered in the crowd and followed many Onmyojis to the main hall. They saw Xi Can, wearing a short black crown and a dark robe, already waiting here. When the time came, no matter whether anyone came or not,
Qi, opened his mouth and said: "Thirty miles outside the eastern suburbs of Pingjing City, gangs with shikigami appeared. They robbed and cut off official roads along the way. The Jinwu Guards could not control them, so they sent word to us. Who is willing to stand up and wipe out the gangs?"
"I do."
"I come."
Immediately, more than ten people responded.
At this time, Qin Yao gently pulled Zhong Xing and asked secretly: "Yesterday, when Elder Xi Can took us past the library, he said that we can freely browse the books in the library. Is there any Yin Yang magic in these books?
"
Zhongxing nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "Of course there is. It can be said that most of the books in the collection are Yin and Yang techniques, but there are no secret techniques in them, only some very common techniques. I personally feel that they will not be of much help to you, senior brother."
Qin Yao: "I know, but I still want to see it."
Since the relationship wasn't that high, Tadayuki didn't try to persuade him much and ended the topic with a slight smile.
After lighting a stick of incense, more than half of the colleagues in front of the main hall left. Xi Can glanced at Qin Yao, who remained unmoved, and said to the remaining people: "That's it for today's morning meeting. Let's break up!"
With an order, the crowd dispersed. Qin Yao walked slowly in the slightly gloomy Yin and Yang House, and finally stopped in front of the library.
"Senior brother, waist badge." The colleague guarding in front of the third-story book pavilion said respectfully.
Qin Yao untied the wooden sign from his waist, handed it to the other party, and asked casually: "Are there usually many people reading books?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After carefully checking the waist tag, the young guard handed it back respectfully: "Not many, you can even say very little. Because the brothers in the dormitory currently have no need.
For those who are laying the foundation, most of what they lack are secret skills and unique skills, but this is not available in the XZ Book Pavilion."
Qin Yao held his belt, nodded and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." The young guard was flattered and said quickly.
Qin Yao smiled at him and strode into the library...
A few days later.
Lian Xisheng called Xi Can to the small building in charge of the office. He stood in front of the stone railing on the third floor and looked at the sea of clouds: "What has Qin Yao been doing these days? Why do you feel that his presence is so low?"
Xi Can stood upright behind the desk clerk and said respectfully: "On the second day after entering the dormitory, he stepped into the library and has not come out until now."
Lian Xisheng said in surprise: "Based on his strength, is he still worthy of those Yin and Yang techniques in the book pavilion?"
Xi Can: "I heard from the patrolling disciple that he looked at it very seriously."
Lian Xisheng: "..."
"In charge of the case, do you need to monitor him?" Xi Can asked proactively.
Lian Xisheng shook his head: "It doesn't have to be like this. Maybe his unique skill is to integrate the best of hundreds of schools of thought, or maybe he lacks some foundation..."
It's the end of the month in a blink of an eye.
Lian Xisheng summoned Xi Can again and asked, "Qin Yao is still in the library?"
"yes."
Mentioning this slightly mysterious elite disciple, Xi Can looked a little weird: "According to the patrolling disciples, he practices in the library, as if he regards the library as his own practice room."
Lian Xisheng: "..."
Is this guy working too hard?
"He must be present at the Lunar New Year Competition." Shao Qing said in an unquestionable tone.
Xi Can nodded: "It has been arranged. Tomorrow morning, Zhongxing will go to the library to call him."
Lian Xisheng pondered for a moment and said, "How strong do you think he is?"
Xi Can recalled the scene of Qin Yao's victory over Zhong Xing, and said hesitantly: "You should have the strength to become an elder in the liao."
"What number?"
"Tenth, or ninth, Yi'an is still very strong, Qin Yao may not be able to beat him." Xi Can said.
Qu Yi'an, the eighth person in the dormitory.
Lian Xisheng shook his head: "You underestimate him too much."
Xi Can was shocked: "Do you think he can be in the top five?"
"I don't think you can beat him." Lian Xisheng said.
Xi Can: "..."
Are you serious?
After taking a closer look at Lian Xisheng's face, Xi Can found in dismay that the person in charge of the case seemed extremely serious.
On the first day of the seventh month, there was a grand competition in the residence. Qin Yao practiced as usual in the library pavilion.
"Thing thump, thump thump, thump thump."
Tadayuki ran up to the third floor like a gust of wind and shouted to the figure sitting cross-legged by the window: "Brother, do you know what day it is today?"
Qin Yao was so focused on practicing that he didn't care about the passage of time. He immediately asked: "What day?"
"What a big competition in the dormitory!" Zhongxing was speechless.
Qin Yao was not very happy to go, so he asked, "Is it okay if I don't go?"
"I'm afraid it won't work." Zhongxing spread his hands and said: "The big competition in the dormitory and the morning meeting in the dormitory are not the same concept. If you don't go to the morning meeting, no one will say anything. If you don't go to the big competition without a legitimate reason, you will be regarded as war-shy."
Qin Yao sighed and stood up slowly: "That's fine, I hope I won't just watch after I go."
Tadayuki: "..."
Don't give up and watch...you still want to meet the challenger.
Later, the two of them came to the main hall of the building one after another. This time it was Qin Yao's turn to stand at the head of the second to last row. In front of him were the eight elders, and in front of him were the chief elder and the chief.
The same as last time, Lian Xisheng's opening remarks were still so concise. After saying two sentences, the disciples in the sect turned to look at the challenger. The battle was about to start, and there was a sense of solemnity that a storm was about to begin.
"ah……"
Qin Yao glanced at this month's challengers and couldn't help but yawn.
It’s no wonder that today’s sunshine warmed my soul, bringing out the tiredness from days of hard training.
If it wasn't for the suspicion of showing off, he really wanted to stand here and sleep for a while.
In the blink of an eye, the whole morning passed by.
There was no strongman in the challenger team this time. Among the top ten elites, only the tenth place was challenged by the tenth place last month. The key is that they have not won the challenge yet, so the entire challenge seemed very boring.
taste.
In fact, this is the norm in life.
"Aren't you going to take action today?"
Lian Xisheng quietly appeared beside Qin Yao and asked softly.
Behind him, the great elder Xi Can and the elder Luo Jie's eyelids almost jumped at the same time, and their hearts slowed down for half a beat.
What the eldest elder wanted was to say that Qin Yao was stronger than him. If he hit the mark and the other party challenged him again, wouldn't his status above that of the entire liao come to an end?
What Luo Jie was thinking was that even if Qin Yao didn't challenge him, if he challenged any of the eight elders, he might be eliminated.
Just like that poor guy who was squeezed out of the top ten elites.
After thinking about their respective situations, the two of them had the same understanding of the current environment: taking charge of the case was just making trouble.
No, to be precise, I am doing it to myself!
"In charge of the case." Qin Yao saluted first and then said with a smile: "I am very satisfied with the title of the head of the top ten elites."
Lian Xisheng said with a smile: "Although he has a great reputation, he is still a subordinate. How can he be comfortable as an elder?"
After all, he gave Xi Can some dignity and did not mention the issue of the Great Elder's position.
Qin Yao paused slightly and said in a gentle voice: "I come to Yin Yang Lao not for fame and wealth, nor for freedom and ease, but to practice and study the Eight Classics of Zheng'er."
Lian Xisheng: "When you talk about practice and study, do you mean soaking in the library and practicing the most basic Yin and Yang techniques?"
Qin Yao laughed and said: "A friend of mine told me that there is no such thing as onmyoji that is useless. It just depends on how people use it and whether they can use it."
Lian Xisheng looked at him thoughtfully, and his body disappeared in an instant.
Qin Yao also wanted to leave, but the nine elders were all watching here, so he could only stare at him with his eyes and nose, his nose and heart stuck in place, his mind wandering to the sky.
Staying up until the evening, the competition finally came to an end as the night fell. Qin Yao thought, and countless white lights suddenly appeared around his body. The white lights formed a beam of light, taking him away through the air and flashing into the library.
The combination of space escape technique and hexagram positioning is really easy to use...
Many times better than I expected.
Three years later.
Tadayuki took his two children into the main hall of the Onmyoji, bowed to Lian Xisheng who was standing in front of the statue of the Onmyoji sage, and saluted: "Greetings to the Master."
"Greetings." The boy and girl who came with him saluted.
"Who are they?" Lian Xisheng glanced at the two children and sensed a demonic force in the boy's body.
"They are the two children I rescued during this mission. They are homeless and have nowhere to go. In order to survive, I had to bring them back," Tadayuki said.
Lian Xisheng said quietly: "You know, Yin Yang Liu is not a charity house and does not support idlers."
Zhongxing lowered his eyes and said, "I raise them."
Lian Xisheng: "Don't you want a future for yourself?"
Zhongxing sighed: "There is no charity hall in Pingjing City. I can't just watch them become thieves, beggars, or even die somewhere."
Lian Xisheng thought for a while and said: "Maybe... you can ask Qin Yao to help you."
Zhongxing's heart moved: "Yes, I will take them to the library right now!"
