Chapter 288 Reputation
"Master Jisaku, this is..."
Representatives from other shrines were also somewhat surprised when they saw Jisa leading Wang Yi and his group over.
When they first came to Zizo, they were not surprised. After all, Inaichi Shrine had handsome men and beautiful women in every generation, and they had real talents.
But now, what virtue did this young man, who was dressed in ordinary clothes and looked a bit like a South Korean-style star, have to be personally brought here by Jisaku, the representative sent by Ise Jingu?
The potential influence of Ise Grand Shrine in Neon can be said to be extremely strong.
Not the metaphysical aspects, but the real worldly impact.
"This is the great Onmyoji Master Quan from the Central Plains."
Zi Zuo briefly explained Wang Yi's background.
Unlike South Korea, Japan has never denied that it has been influenced by the Central Plains culture, and even has the ambition to replace it.
In their field, masters from the Central Plains are still quite prestigious.
If he was an ordinary master, it would just be a courtesy, but since he is called the Great Onmyoji, it is completely different.
It is unknown whether there is such a person in Japan now. Even if there is one, he may be living in seclusion in the mountains and forests.
Great Onmyoji is just a title, and it is very simple to judge. One is the "chosen one" who has mastered various techniques, and the other is someone who has achieved the level of looking directly at spirits without the help of external forces through hard practice.
This means that the mental strength has exceeded the threshold, and it will be much easier to activate some of the summarized experience and skills.
Of course, the most famous ones are those who are the "chosen ones" and work hard in their practice. However, they are still called Great Onmyoji, but they usually leave some titles.
For example, Xiuming has his own name that is passed down.
And since Wang Yi was so young and was addressed like this, the only possibility was that he was the 'chosen one', which caused a round of whispers.
Envy and jealousy appeared in the eyes of many people.
This is a true genius, a child of destiny!
This kind of existence can easily gain a pivotal position in every dynasty.
Neon is a place that pays great attention to bloodline, and people believe that being born noble is the right thing to do.
There is no doubt that the chosen ones are born noble and reach the end of others at birth.
This is really enviable.
Most of those present have some abilities, and many of them practice hard in secret to strengthen their will.
But after so many years of hard practice, they are still not as good as others who are born with talent, so naturally some of them will have an unbalanced mentality.
Many people began to whisper.
"You are so young. Even if you are the chosen one, you may not be familiar with some skills."
“Don’t screw it up.”
"Yes, it would be troublesome if the demon fox escaped. There is no such thing as Lord Qingming now."
"Let's see what Master Jisao says, and then we'll cooperate."
“…”
Then another Onmyoji who was much older but still full of energy also stood up and said in a deep voice:
"Since Mr. Quan is here, I'll leave the hosting to you this time."
Wang Yi could see that this old man's level of spiritual concentration was indeed the highest at the scene. If he were in another world, he would definitely have the qualifications of a wizard. Perhaps he could not compare to a genius like Gu Qianqian, but he was willing to work hard.
In this kind of world, one can concentrate on hard training and hone his will. Changing to another place can really lead to different achievements.
Compared to the whispers that Wang Yi could easily hear, the old man was very calm and didn't care much about hosting such things.
After all, he was able to concentrate on practicing hard, so in terms of his character and mentality, he was closer to a "master", at least much more outstanding than those Wang Yi had met.
There are certainly many people of this type in China, but most of them live in seclusion in places like Mount Zhongnan and will not be easily involved in the secular world. Only in this way can they improve their character.
Those people in the world are all half-baked people with more worldly ideas.
"No need for a host. You should be able to temporarily open your spiritual vision by applying the cow's tears. Then, you can be the witness, so that you don't think I'm messing around."
The old man was slightly stunned when he heard this, hesitated for a moment but nodded, and took out a porcelain bottle from his long sleeves. There was a potion he had prepared in the bottle, which could temporarily allow him to see spirits.
He was also the original host of this ceremony and one of the highest-ranking Onmyoji in Japan. He came from the Tokyo Daijingu Shrine and could be said to be of the same lineage as the Ise Jingu Shrine.
"Would you like to start now? I can only open my psychic vision for half an hour at most."
The old man asked in a deep voice.
Wang Yi already knew something from Xiuming, and he could probably guess the reason for this limitation. If one forcibly concentrated on gaining spiritual vision for too long, it would increase the burden on the eyes, which would be detected by the body's immune system and eventually cause the eyeball to melt.
"Well, let's get started. It won't take long."
After getting the affirmation, the old man did not hesitate and directly applied the prepared viscous paste on his eyelids. He closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them again. He couldn't help but take a step back when he looked at Wang Yi.
Because Xiuming was floating beside Wang Yi at this time.
It was Xiuming's Yin Yang Master costume that made him feel relieved, but he still felt a little bit unbelievable.
"How is it possible that a spirit can move freely under the scorching sun?"
Although the other people present couldn't see it, since they were chosen, they must have a solid basic knowledge. After hearing this, they couldn't help but be shocked and started whispering.
"What do you mean, Mr. Miyazaki?"
"Mr. Miyazaki saw a spirit?"
"How is this possible! Under the might of Amaterasu, it is impossible for psychic energy to move freely!"
"Even if the demon fox escapes, it has to avoid the scorching sun. This is impossible!"
“…”
Wang Yi was speechless when he saw this group of inexperienced guys, and Xiuming also looked at the old man and nodded.
"Youngsters of the Great Shrine, when I was in charge of reinforcing the seal, it must have been your ancestors who cooperated with me. I remember that the head of the Shrine at that time was also named Miyazaki."
The old man, who had temporarily raised his threshold to be able to hear the sound, was also shocked at this moment, and then bowed.
"It's Master Xiuming. I'm so sorry for not recognizing you!"
As he finished speaking, he quickly turned around and said to the others
"Master Xiuming is the great Onmyoji who presided over the reinforcement of the seal last time. He is from the Inaichi Shrine and is standing by right now. Why don't you greet him quickly?"
The class system in Japan is quite strict, and the same is true for bloodline and inheritance. When they heard that a big shot from that time was also there, they immediately bowed to him in a crowd.
It even attracted many tourists outside to take photos.
However, there were corresponding guards blocking the way all around, so no one disrupted the ceremony.
At this distance, they couldn't hear the sounds inside, they could only see this group of people bowing to a young man.
"Wow, that's a pretty big deal."
Wang Yi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw the attitude of this group of people. Then he stepped over the Zhulensuo and came to the Killing Stone.
One can vaguely see the thick black aura of death inside the stone forming a fox face.
"This is probably because he was assimilated by the power of will. He is still a human after all."
Although it has a fox face, Wang Yi can still determine from a close distance that the essence of this spirit is still human, but the long-suppressed willpower has been entangled with it and has completed its assimilation.
As he finished speaking, Wang Yi raised his hand and pressed it on the Killing Stone. It did not shatter the Killing Stone, but it did force the spirit sealed inside out.
Suddenly, dark clouds filled the old man's eyes, and a strong aura of terror emanated from the Killing Stone. He stepped back in shock and muttered to himself.
"Escape!"
Although other people cannot see it, they are all insiders after all. Many of them have practiced hard and have keener senses than ordinary people . They can all feel the burst of coldness.
Can this happen in broad daylight?
What the hell is this?
After knowing that this thing had escaped, the entire Onmyoji team couldn't help but feel a bit agitated as they could feel the coolness even in broad daylight.
I knew we couldn't let young people like this mess around!
Finished!
"What should I do? What should I do?"
"The demon fox escaped, and we are all sinners!"
"Let's run while it's still daytime, or we'll be in trouble."
“…”
The invisible black mist quickly formed a huge fox face, staring at Xiuming and Wang Yi.
"Xiu Ming! If it weren't for your reinforcement, I would have escaped long ago, you bastard!"
The sharp sound seemed to ring in the ears of everyone nearby at once, allowing the Onmyojis to understand more intuitively how the evil creature had escaped.
But the next moment, Wang Yi slowly took out a silver Bagua, raised his hand and engraved a few magic patterns on the Bagua.
A terrifying suction force instantly captured the illusory black smoke and dragged it inside violently!
"What's this?!"
"stop!"
"Who are you?!"
"Who the hell are you?"
"hateful!"
"I curse you..."
However, before he could finish his words, all the breath had been absorbed.
Many of the Onmyojis were already panicking and were ready to run away.
But now after hearing all this noise, even without Miyazaki saying anything, he probably understood what happened!
What?
nailed it?
What's going on?
Is the seal reinforced?
I have no idea what the other party did!
Miyazaki also adjusted his hat which had tilted in panic, then walked over carefully and asked Wang Yi respectfully:
"Mr. Quan, is it over?"
At this moment, his attitude was obviously even more humble. Although he was much older than him, he acted like a junior.
"Well, it's over. I'll stay by your side to suppress and refine it. This will solve the problem once and for all. From now on, the ceremony here can be held as a normal festival."
Wang Yi's words made the old man overjoyed, and he turned around and announced the good news.
At the same time, Jisaku, the representative of Ise Shrine, trotted over with a smile on his face like a blooming chrysanthemum.
"The remaining scourge has been solved once and for all by Master Quan, which is truly a great deed! I have already reported this to the High Priest, and we will hold the most grand celebration to thank Master Quan, and we will also show our sincerity!"
Being able to build up this kind of reputation in Neon on another level would make things easier for him in the future, so Wang Yi would not reject it ...
