Chapter 104: Looking at the scriptures from a distance
This is the legendary... the guest is the master. Although in fact, Xie Zhe and the others are not the master. The real master is probably the Lord of the City or someone sent by his subordinates, right? They have never seen anyone like this appear. I don't know.
At some point, Amiao suddenly appeared from the shamisen. It didn’t seem to hate people very much at the moment.
The red spot on the forehead may be a little accustomed to it. It circled around Gui Haishi's feet several times, sniffing non-stop. What's even more surprising is that Gui Haishi can probably see it. His sight
Always following the shadow of the kitten. Although others didn't know exactly what he was doing, Xie Zhe and Xue Miyin could understand it at a glance.
"Are you waiting for someone too?" Han Shang started to greet him directly, "We heard from the guards that your surname is Guihai."
"Ah, yes. There's nothing to hide."
Gui Hai said and picked up a rhinoceros horn cup. Han Zhang and Xie Zhe looked at each other, feeling a little baffled. Just now they were unwilling to disclose anything, and now they said it was not worth hiding. What a weird person. Ling Huan looked towards
The hem of his clothes that sparkled in the sun before seemed less obvious now that he was indoors.
There were five other people brought here with them. Among the five people, there was a silent monk with a scar on his face, and two onmyojis dressed in ordinary clothes. One of them had a fierce expression and claimed to be a hunter.
The devil, the other one is a woman. There is also a Taoist priest with a gray beard.
, his eyes didn’t work very well. The last one was a fortune teller. When chatting with others on the road, he mentioned that he was a fortune teller from the east. He walked around the south gate to enter the city, and he was definitely caught. Xie Zhe’s heart
I thought to myself, I wonder which local is arresting people randomly to take credit.
"Are you also the Onmyoji who came to see the city lord?"
The fierce demon hunter asked this question. Gui Hai turned his face to look at him, but he was not in his eyes.
"That's right, but it's not the same as you."
"Didn't you say that you are also..."
Xue Miyin frowned and asked, half-said. Because she did remember that before entering the city, he said that Onmyoji was being recruited here, and she came here for this reason. But thinking about it carefully, since he was invited in with such a big deal,
In the city, he is now being entertained well again - after all, the guards originally standing in this private room were dressed the same as the guards who brought them here, so they are probably the same group of people. So maybe... In fact, his identity is higher than that of the guards who brought them here.
Do they want to be more noble?
"I am an Onmyoji, and I am indeed here to see the city lord." Guihai looked at Miyin, but did not really look at her, "But I did not actively respond to his call, but he invited me here."
"You mean you're very tall?" the person before said.
The other four of the five people didn't say anything, but judging from the look in their eyes, they might also think so, except that the old man might be deaf and couldn't hear. But in fact, Xie Zhe and the others didn't think so. If he wanted to put on airs, when they first met,
He can just tell himself
Why did he come and what did he come for, but he didn’t. He just talked about the situation in Wanlong City in a general way. Apart from that strange sense of distance, he was still a talkative and amiable person. Now he answered like this
, also because of being questioned like this.
The man with a ferocious face suddenly became mute. It seems that he is just bluffing. But maybe he is still half-smart? After all, the most presentable and powerful person here is Gui Hai.
He is one person. Could it be that he personally came to test whether these people are charlatans? It is not impossible. After all, the rewards for recommenders are not so easy to get.
"I have met the city lord a few times, and we have helped each other a little. Now I will help him again. He has a lot of things to do every day. I have a letter of appointment here to chat with a few people for him temporarily. You can check in first.
Prove that I didn’t lie to you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, an attendant came forward with a tray covered with silk. On the tray was a rolled-up letter of appointment. Xie Zhe, who was standing in the middle, hesitated for a moment and was about to reach out, but was stopped by the only person next to him.
A female onmyoji took it away. She pulled it open
Everyone came over to look at the scroll. The general idea was that Gui Haishi was right and there was a seal of the city king underneath. The female onmyoji put it back into the tray and the attendant stepped back. Gui Haishi stood up slowly and said,
With his hands behind his back, he said seriously to the people in front of him:
"You generally know the situation. However, those who are coming now are basically people from outside the city, so I'd better explain a little more. I believe you all have heard about the living corpses, which is why you are gathered here.
Many people feel that this is an infectious disease that is difficult to treat. Governments in various places are trying their best to recruit doctors and buy home remedies at high prices. However, to this day, whether it is herbal medicine, acupuncture, or other methods,
All of them have no results. The city lord believes that the resurrection of corpses must be caused by strange powers, so he is recruiting people with strong spiritual powers. Whether there are any spells that can suppress the disease, or any methods to deal with living corpses, please feel free to speak out.
If what you say makes sense, you can easily get the money and medicinal materials for in-depth research, and the reward will be calculated separately. It doesn’t matter even if you don’t know magic. If you can come up with any effective suggestions, you will be rewarded heavily."
He talked freely, his tone was open and honest, and he really had nothing to hide. Although he did not work in the palace of the city king, he felt as relaxed and comfortable in Wanlong City as if he were at home. After listening, several people nodded.
, except for the old Taoist priest who was confused, but he did not ask further questions. It is estimated that this old man was also kidnapped by others to take credit as soon as they heard that he was a Taoist priest.
"So what do you think? Or do you want to show off and prove your strength?"
"I'll go first!"
The fierce demon hunter stood up first. He had two axes, which could be possessed by his own powerful spiritual power. He did have two brushes, and he started playing in the private room on the spot. He was like an acrobat in a troupe.
, the things about wielding knives and guns are so flashy that a few people
I was dazzled. Amiao really didn't like him. She kept baring her teeth at him, huffing, and tilting her ears back. This Onmyoji might not have any real skills, and he couldn't see Amiao at all. And judging from the current situation,
None of the five guests could see it.
The witcher used too much force and smashed a hole in the ceiling. With a "boom", the whole building seemed to be shaking, and several pieces of wall covering fell down like snow, making them all cover their heads in embarrassment.
.Fortunately, the meal must have been finished, otherwise Gui Hai might have lost his temper.
However, he did not do so at the moment, and he did not even frown. He just nodded and asked this question:
"Then what's the use of your skills?"
"If I fight against living corpses, I can defeat one against a hundred. When dealing with those monsters, I should beat them into obedience. If you don't believe me, you can ask for my name. I was——"
"Okay, let's take the young master to the private room next door to rest."
As soon as Gui Hai raised his hand, two attendants immediately came forward to "help" him go. The posture did not look like he was escorting someone, but he was a little anxious. He kept beeping and talking until the attendant closed the door.
Xue Miyin scratched his head and asked Gui Hai:
"Didn't you send him away?"
"No. Keeping this kind of person will always be useful, but he is not needed here." He answered solemnly.
The monk who had been silent until now suddenly shouted: "What a reckless man."
"Then what is this master good at?"
What happened after that was meaningless. The monk came from the west and had no special skills, but he could transcend the souls of the dead and bring them back to peace. He was also invited to the next room, and it sounded like he was with the demon hunter.
After all, this is the job of many monks and Taoists, and there are many things they can do. It seems that he is just here to try his luck and make a living. As for the female onmyoji, she has some abilities. In addition to subduing demons and killing demons,
In addition to her abilities, she said that she has an ancestral medicine that can make people incapacitated. She has tried it on living corpses. Some of them work, but some don't. This may be related to many reasons - the amount of medicine.
, the age of the deceased, whether it was sunny or rainy that day, the time of death of the body, the state of decomposition... To make a medicine that can be widely used, I am afraid it will require more experiments and materials, as well as a lot of time.
She was invited to the private room opposite, and she was not with those two people, which is worth noting. The remaining two were elderly, and the old Taoist priest simply couldn't hear a single word and made people gesture.
Okay. Although Gui Hai didn't feel impatient, he could
The attendant was exhausted from waving, writing, and jumping around in front of the old man. In the end, there was really no other way, so he was simply invited to go home. One of the attendants said that the old man was a local and was sent by his family.
He was indeed famous in the temple when he was young
, but later that dilapidated temple was demolished, and he went home to be an idler. Probably, he really had no ability, but his children were hoping to use this "work experience" to see if they could get some rewards.
As for the fortune teller, he will tell you directly and honestly.
He was a charlatan, and he couldn't even tell fortunes accurately, so he was kidnapped by the locals. Guihai didn't give him any trouble, and waved his hand and let him go. Until the end, Guihai wanted to ask, except for a dozen
Apart from the three attendants, there were only four of them left.
"Everyone, please go out first." Gui Hai said to them.
"Yes, there are two young masters here who have swords..."
The attendants were hesitant, but Gui Hai shook his head and said to them: "Those who carry weapons may not necessarily take action against others; those who take action against others may not necessarily carry weapons."
A few people scratched their heads and didn't quite understand. Two of them also said that if Mr. Guihai had any shortcomings, he would definitely be punished. But since Mr. Guihai insisted so much, they knew better and they would not hesitate.
Yuan Di retreated. The last person to leave said that they were just outside the door and could call them if anything happened. Gui Haishi nodded, and then he closed the door and left.
"Let me tell you something first," Han Chang said suddenly, "We are running with you, and the only real Onmyoji is Xie Zhe."
"I know," Gui Hai said, "you are a monster."
He froze for a moment, then smiled awkwardly. There are really more and more talented people in the world now, can anyone see through his transformation technique? Although the people who recognized him did have some skills, he still couldn't help but
He had some doubts about himself. Gui Hai did not make things difficult for him, but directly asked the silent Xie Ze:
"Master Xie has something you want to say a long time ago, right?"
Xie Zhe was called by name, and then he spoke slowly: "Ah... yes."
Ling Huan asked: "What do you see? What ideas do you have?"
"I really don't have any ideas," Xie Zhe said sincerely, "but I wanted to tell you something before, but the coincidence was interrupted, and I didn't have the chance to say it after that. I didn't think it was an important matter, so I didn't say it.
That's fine. But since I have met this young master again and you have seen what I want to say, I will tell my whole story to my friends, so please don't mind."
"Please." Gui Hai extended his hand.
Xie Zhe looked at him, and the other person was also looking at him. But in his eyes, there seemed to be no person reflecting him, but only his sword. The outline of Fengyun Zhan was outlined in Gui Hai's eyes. No wonder.
He finally asked Xie Zhe and sent everyone else away. After all, this divine sword was not something that could be told to others casually.
Xie Zhe's eyes fell on his Liwu hat and said: "You know a lot about the South Sea, and you also know a lot about the grievances and hatreds of the Shark people. I think that's where you come from.
