After accepting the Yin Yang and Five Elements from China, the East formed their own unique Onmyoji culture by combining it with Feng Shui, fortune telling, etc.
Among them, the most famous Onmyoji in Japan is Abe Seimei, the ancestor of Abe Linhao who died at the Kimura family last time.
And here in Yokohama, there is also a very famous Onmyoji who is a descendant of the ancient Eastern Onmyoji Yamabei Hitachi. He calls himself the contemporary Yamabei Master.
However, compared to Lin Hao, the one who died last time, the other party's popularity is not that high.
Boss Liu and a few of his confidants took a car and arrived nearby. Because the alley inside was relatively narrow and could not be entered, they had to walk in.
When Boss Liu came here, he asked a younger brother who could speak Oriental to come in.
The boy opened the door and went inside.
About half an hour later, when Mr. Liu was waiting impatiently, he saw the younger brother finally coming out.
"Why does it take so long?"
"Boss, the master made two requests."
Two requests?
A hundred requests will do, as long as he no longer has nightmares and doesn't have to worry about dying.
"any request?"
"The first request is to prepare five million Dongyuan. The second request is that you have to kneel here for a long time to show your sincerity and he will solve your problem."
Five million Japanese dollars was not a lot, but if converted into Chinese dollars, it would be three hundred thousand. He thought it was worth saving his life.
However, if he is required to kneel here for a long time, how can his knees bear it?
"Why do you want me to kneel for a long time?"
"Boss, I just talked to the master about this issue, but the master remained silent and ignored what I said. Finally, he said that if he doesn't agree to his two demands, he will hire someone else."
When Boss Liu heard this, he wanted to leave immediately.
But, I'm afraid.
All I can say is: "Then I agree to Master's request."
When he saw that the boss had agreed, the younger brother went inside again. Soon, he saw the other party coming out with a round bedding.
Then place it on the stone slab at the door.
When Boss Liu understood what it meant, he knelt down.
Those around me followed them here
The younger brother could only follow him.
When it comes to kneeling for half a day, this half day is a half day during the day or a half day within a day. If it is a half day during the day, it will take six hours. If it is a day within the day, it will be twenty-four hours.
People like Mr. Liu usually don't kneel down to eat and are not used to it. So now that he knelt down, within half an hour, he felt that his knees couldn't bear it on that round mat.
It feels very painful and numb.
He wanted to stand up, but knew he couldn't give up halfway.
…
I don’t know how long I have been kneeling, but Boss Liu was almost paralyzed. The younger brother next to him said: "Boss, hold on a little longer. It has been four hours now. I think if Master sees your sincerity, he will definitely ask
You went in."
Boss Liu could only continue to kneel there.
Until noon, although the weather here was not hot yet, when the sunlight above the head of the alley shone down, Mr. Liu felt that he was sweating.
According to this time, six hours have passed, but I still haven't heard Master Yamabei calling me in.
This continued until about two o'clock in the afternoon, Tokyo time. The younger brothers couldn't stand it anymore and went to buy something nearby to eat. But the boss, Liu, continued to kneel there, sweating on the round mat on his face.
Fall like that.
Why doesn't it work?
Boss Liu is thinking.
If it weren't for Master Shanbei's reputation, he would have suspected that the other party was deliberately playing tricks on him.
When the sun was almost setting, the door finally opened, and a short and thin old Japanese man wearing ordinary clothes but looking very energetic came out.
The other party is Master Shanbei.
Master Shanbei has not married again except for accepting some apprentices. Although he is the last generation of Onmyoji in the Shanbei family by blood, he feels that he is not the last generation because he has accepted many apprentices, and they all
It was deeply influenced by Onmyoji, the ancestor of Shanbei.
Therefore, those disciples will also follow Shanbei's surname in the future.
As for the expenses he usually pays to solve problems for those people, five million Dongyuan per time is naturally a lot. However, in addition to providing the daily living expenses for himself and his apprentices, the rest of the money he receives is donated to
For those in need, this can be considered as doing
Good deeds accumulate evil deeds.
Perhaps it is for this reason that he is very well-known as an Onmyoji in Japan, and he is even more famous in Yokohama.
"Sir, come in with me!"
When Boss Liu stood up with difficulty, he already felt that his knees were swollen and painful. If it were not for the two younger brothers to hold him, he might not be able to get up at all. Now that he is holding on, he follows, and the other younger brothers also want to follow.
When they entered, Master Shanbei asked them to stay outside.
After entering, Mr. Liu saw many black and white paintings inside. In fact, these were the ancestors of Master Shanbei.
There are also many spiritual tablets enshrined at the front, which are also the spiritual tablets of Mr. Shanbei's ancestors.
"Sir, do you have any troubles that you can't solve?"
"Master, I, I'm afraid of death."
All mortals are afraid of death. Isn’t this normal?
Of course, Master Shanbei had already guessed a thing or two by looking at Boss Liu's expression and looking at him as a person.
"you say."
"Master, I am a member of the Chinese community in Chinatown. One of the bosses just died inexplicably. Now the other party has cursed me and said that I will say the same thing. Moreover, when I went to bed last night, I dreamed about the dead man all night long.
Boss."
People from the Chinese community?
Master Shanbei knew exactly what the other party did.
"Bring me your birthday and birth date, as well as your parents' birthday and birth date."
After Boss Liu hurriedly told all the birth dates of himself and his parents, Master Shanbei left and returned to his room.
About half an hour passed.
"Sir, you have done so many sinful things over the years, I'm afraid it will be difficult to save you!"
"Master, I, I have money, as long as you can save me as much as you want!"
"Money is not a question of money." Master Shanbei said.
Boss Liu was angry and resentful. He felt as if he had been deceived by the other party. He had knelt down all day in vain, and now he said that he couldn't solve it. So didn't he kneel down in vain?
When he seemed to be paralyzed and sat down, Boss Liu hugged Master Shanbei's legs and said: "Master, please, save my life no matter what, I don't want to die."
"Life and death are determined by fate and wealth. It's up to you. I won't accept your money."
