Chapter 681: Spoils of War
Kyoto, Arashiyama.
The ghost car roared to a stop outside Falun Temple.
Kamiyagawa got out of the car and strode into the temple with its magnificent architecture and bright lights.
The rather difficult exorcism investigation that Falun Temple was responsible for had come to an end with the help of Kamiya. However, the monks were still busy with this matter tonight.
The headmaster of the Dharma Wheel Temple was a little surprised when he saw the ghost disciple coming back. "Why are you back, donatee Kamiya? You were only away for an hour, and you just said that your disciples were in trouble in Ibaraki Prefecture."
"The matter over there has been resolved, and they are safe. I will come back to continue my work here."
Kamiyagawa waved his hand calmly.
In fact, most of the things at Falun Temple have been dealt with, so it won’t be a big deal even if Kamiya doesn’t come back tonight.
However, the friendly and dedicated attitude of the ghost and god disciples really benefited everyone in Falun Temple.
Take a look!
The disciples of ghosts and gods are truly role models in the exorcism industry!
Falun Temple would not lose out by establishing a relationship with such a person.
Although Kamiya's trip to Ibaraki Prefecture only took about an hour, he had already gained some practical benefits.
With the help of Hoshiguma Douji and Mary, the disciples killed Omashiki and defeated "Painting Glass". The eighth Omashiki mission was completed, and the reward given by "Kaidan Monogatari" was still counted on Kamiya.
He got two Takamagahara pass tokens.
In addition, he also received an epic item reward called [Dowsing Needle].
In appearance, it looks like an ancient compass.
The specific effect is that it can assist in finding mineral veins.
not bad.
In the ordinary world, the only large mine controlled by Kamiya's forces is Aokigahara.
If we give the [Dowsing Needle] to Guitan, who is not a direct disciple of Sister Jue but has learned the basic skills of a master craftsman, he may be able to find a few more mineral deposits for our forces and enrich our resources reserves.
In addition, the Aoki Mine, which is very rich in mineral resources, has not yet been fully developed.
According to Sister Jue’s previous estimation, there is a high probability that five different kinds of “Spiritual Metal” deposits can be found in the Qingmu Mine.
The dedicated mining captain "Shikijiro Nishi" has led his team to dig deep into the mine.
The team of miners in the force now has more than the 24 people when it first started, and has expanded to more than 60 people.
This happened because one of the winners of this year's "Takamagahara Love and Dedication to Work" award, Kinkuma Douji, a model worker of the powerful ghost stories, led a team to diligently explore several mine ruins dating back hundreds of years under the instructions and arrangements of Isohime.
He also successfully found some Shikijiros, "invited" them back to his forces, provided them with labor benefits, and worked together for the great cause.
However, the expanded team of miners found nothing other high-level resources except a few scattered pieces of sky silver ore deep in the Aoki Mine Cave.
In other words, at present, the two high-level materials, Tianyin and Gengjin, are still scarce among the new Gaotianyuan forces.
However, "Spiritual Metal" is very important to the development of Kamiyagawa Group.
After all, it is the raw material for the Shikigami statue.
If the "Gengjin Mine" can be mined as soon as possible, the statues of the Shikigami under his command can be gilded, and the strength of the Shikigami will then grow even faster.
Therefore, this newly acquired item [Dowsing Needle] can also be given to Shikijiro Twenty to help the mining team further explore the deeper conditions of the Aokihara Mine Cave.
In addition to obtaining two Takamagahara Communication Tokens, there is also a [Dowsing Needle].
Kamiya Kawa was wondering what spoils his disciples had gotten at the end of the battle.
The painting shows the strange relics of the Aragami, as well as a large wakizashi that looks unusual.
……
Two days later, Kamiyagawa finished dealing with the affairs of Horinji Temple and returned to Tokyo from Kyoto.
Of course, the disciples have also returned from Ibaraki Prefecture.
The Countermeasures Office has learned about the appearance of Omaji members near Yoshikoji Temple, and they are taking it very seriously.
Both Kanoya and Tsurumi have cooperated in making corresponding reports and keeping records in the Countermeasures Room.
This incident caused quite a bit of discussion in the exorcist industry, but exorcists have become accustomed to it to some extent.
What else can I say?
As expected of a disciple of ghosts and gods, even the two female high school students he brought up can easily do things that others cannot do.
Of course, after hearing this news, the vast majority of official exorcists who did not have the authority to access files related to the Omaji tended to believe that Kamiyagawa's two female disciples were able to defeat the members of the Omaji with the help of their master.
Thinking this way, everyone will feel a little better.
But it is true that Kanoya and Tsurumi fought each other during the Demonic Era, and won and escaped unscathed.
This time, the two young apprentices have made their presence felt in the industry.
The reputation of Yoshikoji of the Tsurumi family has also been improved to a certain extent.
However, as for Kamiya himself, he does not want his two apprentices to become too famous for the time being, nor does he have the idea of making them official exorcists in the Countermeasures Room.
Anyway, I have to keep it by my side to continue training and training.
However, Xiaolu and Tsurumi are now both new forces in the exorcist industry and are good prospects.
If you want to get a place in a prestigious university to study "Monster Studies" in the future, it will be easy and well-deserved.
In other words, as long as the two apprentices are willing, they can even become the master's junior sisters in the future...
In the living room of the Kamiyagawa family.
The apprentices are telling their master about their experiences in Ibaraki Prefecture.
Although everyone knows that Kamiyagawa himself went to Yoshikoji Temple on the night of the incident, the story still needs to be told.
The whole time, it was mainly Xiaolu who was talking to Kamiya, and Tsurumi occasionally said a word.
In fact, Tsurumi Aoi is quite envious of the way her senior sister and teacher get along with each other. Compared to a serious master-disciple relationship, their daily lives together are more like a pair of close siblings.
A gentle and handsome brother, and a lively and spoiled sister.
That's probably how it feels.
But this description of the relationship between teachers and senior students does not seem to be comprehensive enough.
After all, Kanoya is only sixteen or seventeen years old. If a girl of her age really has a brother at home... normally speaking, she has basically entered the stage of "starting to dislike her brother" in life.
"Tsurumi."
The second disciple, who was kneeling, was a little absent-minded when she suddenly heard Shen Gu calling her like this.
"exist!"
Tsurumi Aoi straightened her back quickly.
Then, she saw Teacher Kamiya pick up the Smiling Qingjiang.
"You and Xiaolu performed well in the matter of Yoshikoji Temple. I will have this Smiling Seikei reforged and strengthened, and you will be the one to use it from now on. In the future kendo class, I will also teach you some two-sword techniques."
Kamiyagawa had just taken the time to appraise this Smiling Qingjiang.
It is a very good weapon for exorcism.
Although it is far inferior to Onikiri and Dojikiri, it is comparable to Ichimonji in strength.
Moreover, it has a battle ash skill named [Smiling Ghost] which comes from a former samurai master of Qingjiang.
When the skill is actively activated, a grinning face can be condensed in front of the knife holder to resist attacks.
And when passively wielding a knife, the user will also gain a ghostly-fast battlefield mobility bonus.
After giving it to Sister Jue for upgrading and forging, it should become a very good exorcist weapon.
There is also the matter of teaching Tsurumi the two-sword style technique.
Kamiya had no intention of limiting his teaching to the Jiken-ryu for his second disciple, as he himself had made considerable achievements in the Katori Shinto-ryu kendo technique.
Moreover, with Kamiyagawa's current kendo skills, he can be regarded as a kendo master in the world today. To be frank, he is not inferior to the great swordsmen in history.
As long as he is willing, it would be no problem for him to directly use Jiken-ryu and Katori Shinto-ryu as the basis, absorb some skills from other kendo schools, and then establish a new kendo school.
Throughout history, many founders of kendo schools did the same.
"Xiao Kui...Xiao Kui!"
Kanoya, who was sitting next to Kamiya, winked at Tsurumi.
The latter reacted with a serious expression, and his gloomy and deep eyes once again revealed the wet undertones of a stray puppy that had just been picked up and brought home: "I understand, teacher."
Tsurumi always fully accepts the teacher's arrangements.
After arranging things for the second disciple, Kamiyakawa raised his hand and patted the eldest disciple's head: "Xiaolu, your performance in Jiguang Temple is also very good, you should also be rewarded."
"Hey! I have one too?"
The little deer jumped for joy, but unfortunately the joy had just appeared on his face when it was completely extinguished by Kamiya's next words.
"Of course. After dinner and a bath, wait for me in the living room. It's time for you to learn some advanced spirit control techniques."
"Objection! Master, I think..."
"invalid objection."
"Okay... okay." The little deer pursed his lips and drooped his shoulders.
However, the increased academic pressure did not really make her depressed.
After experiencing the incident with the painter, the little deer was somewhat dissatisfied with his current strength.
It’s just studying!
I will study with Master tonight and study all night long!
Shikanoya has always had a strong ability to adjust her mentality, and she really wants to improve.
Kamiyagawa looked at Tsurumi Aoi again and said, "Also, Tsurumi. If you have nothing to do tonight, stay with Xiaolu. I will give you an additional lesson on the basics of the spirit control technique."
Tsurumi was born with some deficiencies in his ability to practice magic.
This difference in talent meant that she could not be as proficient in various spells as Xiaolu.
However, you still have to give it a try.
If Tsurumi Mirai could barely master a technique, then according to Kamiyagawa's idea of training his disciples, the one he most hoped she could master was [Spirit Control Technique].
If one could cultivate a Shikigami, the improvement in the exorcist's strength would be very significant and direct.
"Xiao Kui, Master wants us to learn together!" Shikanoya became excited again. He supported himself on the floor with both hands and leaned over to get closer to the sister who was kneeling opposite him. "Stay tonight. My room is very big. When you get tired, we can sleep on the tatami together. Also, we'll have dinner soon. The food made by Master Prajna is super delicious, right?"
……
Kamiya's house, kitchen.
The warm yellow light was diffused by the hot water vapor, falling on the frosted stone countertop to form mottled light and shadows.
The fire flickered slightly, and the tapping of the spatula mixed with the bubbling of the stew.
The air was filled with the aroma of stewing meat, mixed with the fresh smell of fresh vegetables.
During the evening preparation time, Kanoyaya brought Tsurumi, who decided to stay overnight, to the kitchen to help Bannya.
Xiaolu also had a very close relationship with the wives of the masters, and it was not the first time she cooked with Prajna. She wore an apron and talked to the wives of the masters while she skillfully chopped the ingredients on the chopping board, making a rhythmic clicking sound.
Tsurumi, on the other hand, seemed much more reserved. She was quietly washing vegetables by the sink, occasionally responding to the topics that her senior sister threw at her.
Such an atmosphere made her feel extremely calm and peaceful.
She began to think about some things.
How can I emulate my senior sister and grow into an excellent exorcist like her?
Of course, after defeating the painter and talking with Kanoya, Tsurumi was no longer depressed about this matter.
She just felt that she should find a way.
She just hoped that she could be as comprehensive as her senior sister in the future and be able to deal with various situations on the battlefield.
It's amazing that Tsurumi actually thought of a possible feasible idea.
This inspiration came after Kamiya Kawa said he would give Smiling Aoue to her.
That is, don’t powerful exorcist weapons like Ichimonji and Smiley Aoue have unique skills?
The teacher also said that as long as you add war ash to high-quality weapons, you can also actively enchant the weapons.
Well, if I can collect several weapons with skills in the future...
For example, Ichimonji's [Red Devil] is used to assist in attack, and Smiley Aoki's [Laughing Devil] is used to assist in defense. Other high-quality weapons, by matching with different combat skills, should also be able to achieve targeted different battlefield uses, right?
In this way, even if you are not very talented, you can still deal with different battlefield situations by combining different weapons.
Relying on the advantages of weapons, this is also a way to strengthen oneself.
It's just a little difficult to achieve ideally.
How to carry a large number of weapons and how to quickly switch weapons during combat are issues that need to be addressed...
……
While the two disciples and Prajna were preparing dinner in the kitchen.
Kamiya took the little crayon Aori to the basement.
He also identified the trophy submitted by Xiaolu.
That piece of canvas is called [Painting Core], and it is indeed the relic of the wild god in the painting.
"Caizhi."
In the basement, as Kamiya called out, half of a small red crayon rolled to the center of the floor of the room.
Then, several messy and scribbled red lines twisted and spread out, painting into a 3D image of a little girl with a jellyfish head.
Caizhi:?
After Caizhi appeared, she tilted her head and looked at Kamiya with a little confusion.
The little girl didn't know why the big brother brought her to the basement.
"Try this, it should work for you."
Kamiyagawa squatted down and handed the [painting core] to Caizhi.
The moment the canvas came into contact with the chaotic red crayon lines, it disintegrated into colorful balls and quickly gathered towards Caizhi's body.
The little crayon itself hadn't yet realized what was happening.
All I saw was that on her small body made up of crayon lines, other colors besides red began to surge out...
