Chapter 681: Disposal of the Spoils

Kyoto, Arashiyama.

The ghost car roared to a stop outside the Falun Temple.

Kamiya Chuan got out of the car and strode into the magnificent and brightly lit temple.

The more difficult exorcism investigation that the Falun Temple was responsible for had come to an end with Kamiya's help. However, the monks were still busy with this matter tonight.

The abbot of the Falun Temple saw the ghost disciple coming back, and his face was a little surprised: "Why did the donor Kamiya come back? You were away for only an hour. Didn't you just say that your disciples were in trouble in Ibaraki Prefecture?"

"The matter over there has been resolved, and they are safe. I'm back to continue my work here."

Kamiya Chuan waved his hand calmly.

In fact, the things on the Falun Temple side have been dealt with, and it doesn't matter even if Kamiya doesn't come back tonight.

But the friendly and dedicated attitude of the ghost disciple really makes the people of the Falun Temple feel very useful.

Look!

The ghost disciple is really a role model in the exorcism industry!

It is not a loss for the temple to have a relationship with such a person.

Although it only took about an hour for Kamiya to go to Ibaraki Prefecture, he has already gained something.

With the help of Hoshiguma Douji and Mary, the disciples killed the Omashiki and defeated the "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 got an epic item reward called [Mineral Needle].

In appearance, it is an ancient compass.

The specific effect is that it can assist in finding mineral deposits and veins.

Not bad.

In the ordinary world, the only large mine controlled by Kamiya's forces is Aokigahara.

If the [Mineral Needle] is handed over to the Kaidan who is not directly taught by Sister Jue, but has learned the basic skills of the divine craftsman, it may be possible to find more mineral deposits for his forces and enrich the resource reserves of the forces.

In addition, the Aokigahara Mine, which is very rich in mineral resources, has not yet been fully developed.

According to Sister Jue's previous estimate, there is a high probability that five different "spiritual metal" deposits can be found in the Aokigahara Mine.

And the dedicated miner captain "Shikijiro Twenty" has led the team to dig deep into the mine.

Now the miners in the faction are not only the twenty-four when they first started, but have expanded to more than sixty people.

This is because one of the winners of this year's "Takamagahara Love and Dedication" and the labor model of the faction ghost story, Jinxiong Tongzi, under the instructions and arrangements of Isohime, led the team to diligently explore several mine cave ruins with a history of hundreds of years.

And successfully found some Shikijiros, "invited" them back to the faction, gave them labor welfare benefits, and worked together for the great cause.

However, the expanded miners found no other high-level resources except for a few scattered pieces of Tianyin ore in the depths of the Aokigahara Mine.

In other words, at this stage, the two high-level materials, Tianyin and Gengjin, are still scarce in the new Takamagahara forces.

And "Spiritual Metal" is still very important for the development of the Kamiyagawa Group.

After all, it is the raw material of the Shikigami statues.

If the "Gengjin Mine" can be mined as soon as possible, then the statues of the Shikigami under his command can be plated with gold, and then the strength of the Shikigami will grow faster.

Therefore, this newly obtained item [Dowsing Needle] can also be used by Shikijiro Twenty to help the miners further explore the deep conditions of the Aokigahara Mine Cave.

In addition to obtaining two Takamagahara communication tokens and [Dowsing Needle].

Kamiyagawa also knows what spoils his disciples got at the end of the battle-

The ghost story relic of the Aragami in the painting, and a large wakizashi that looks unusual.

...

Two days later, Kamiyagawa returned to Tokyo from Kyoto after handling the affairs of the Horinji Temple.

Of course, the disciples have also returned from Ibaraki Prefecture.

The Countermeasures Office has already known about the appearance of members of the Omaji near Yoshikoji Temple, and they take it very seriously.

Shikanoya and Tsurumi have cooperated in making corresponding reports and records in the Countermeasures Office.

This matter has caused quite a lot of discussion in the exorcist industry, but the exorcists are somewhat accustomed to it to some extent.

What else can I say?

As expected of a disciple of the ghost, even the two female high school students he brought out can easily do things that others can't do.

Of course, most of the people in the official exorcists who do not have the authority to access the relevant files of the Omaji, after hearing this news, tend to believe that the two female disciples under Kamiyagawa were able to defeat the members of the Omaji with the help of their master.

Everyone can feel a little better if they think this way.

But the fact that Shikanoya and Tsurumi fought against the Omaji and won and retreated unscathed is real.

This time, the two little disciples have made a strong presence in the industry.

Even the reputation of Yoshikoji of the Tsurumi family has been improved to a certain extent.

However, as for Kamiya himself, he does not want his two apprentices to be too famous for the time being, and he has no intention of making them official exorcists in the countermeasures room.

Anyway, he still has to keep them by his side to continue training and training.

However, Xiaolu and Tsurumi are now new forces in the exorcist industry and are good seedlings.

If he wants to get a place in a prestigious school to study the "Yokai Studies" major 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 schoolgirls 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 when the incident occurred, the story of the incident still needs to be told.

Throughout the whole process, it was mainly Xiaolu who pestered Kamiya and talked, and Tsurumi occasionally added a word.

Tsurumi Aoi is actually quite envious of the relationship between her senior sister and her teacher. Compared with the serious relationship between master and apprentice, the two of them are more like a close brother and sister when they stay together every day.

A gentle and handsome brother, a lively and coquettish sister.

That's probably how it feels.

But this description of the relationship between teacher and senior sister seems not comprehensive enough.

After all, Kanoya is sixteen or seventeen years old. For a girl of her age, if she really has an older brother at home... Normally, she has basically entered the stage of life where she "begins to dislike her older brother".

"Tsurumi."

The second disciple, who was sitting on her knees, was slightly in a trance when she suddenly heard Kamiya calling her this way.

"exist!"

Tsurumi Aoi quickly straightened her back.

Then, she saw Teacher Kamiya picking up the smiling Qingjiang.

"You and Xiaolu performed well in the matter at Yoshikoji Temple. I will have this laughing Qingjiang forged and strengthened, and you can use it from now on. I will also teach you some in the subsequent kendo classes. The technique of the two-sword style.”

Kamiyagawa had just taken the time to identify this laughing face Qingjiang.

It's a very good spiritual weapon.

Although it is far inferior to Onikiri and Dojiri, it is equivalent to Ichimonji in terms of strength.

And it comes with a war-grey skill named [Smiling Ghost] derived from a certain samurai master in Qingjiang.

When the skill is actively activated, a grinning grimace can be formed in front of the knife wielder to resist attacks.

And when holding the knife passively, the user will also gain a ghostly-fast battlefield mobility bonus.

After giving it to Sister Jue for some upgrades and forging, it should be a very good spirit-removing weapon.

There is also the matter of teaching Tsurumi the Nitōryu technique.

Kamiya's teaching to his second disciple had no intention of limiting it to the self-evident style. He himself had made great achievements in Katori Shinto-style kendo skills.

Moreover, with Kamiyagawa's current swordsmanship strength, he can be regarded as a swordsman master in the world today. To put it bluntly, he is not far behind the great swordsmen in history.

As long as he is willing, it is no problem to directly use the self-evident style and Katori Shinto style as the basis, and then absorb some skills from other kendo schools, and then establish a sect to establish a brand new kendo school.

Historically, the founders of many kendo schools also did this.

"Xiao Kui...Xiao Kui!"

Kanoya, who was sitting on the edge of Kamiya, winked at Tsurumi.

The latter reacted with a serious expression, and his gloomy and deep eyes once again showed the look of a stray puppy that had just been picked up, with a wet background: "I understand, teacher."

Tsurumi has always fully accepted the teacher's arrangements.

After arranging things for the second disciple, Kamiyakawa raised his hand and patted the eldest disciple's little head: "Xiaolu, your performance at Yoshiko Temple is also very good, you should also be rewarded."

"Hey——! Do I have some too?"

The little deer jumped for joy, but unfortunately, as soon as the joyful expression appeared on his face, it was completely extinguished by Kamiya's next words.

"Of course, after dinner and a shower, wait for me in the living room. It's time for you to learn more advanced spirit control techniques."

"Objection! Master, I think..."

"invalid objection."

"Okay... okay." Xiaolu flattened his mouth and slumped his shoulders.

However, the increased academic pressure did not really make her depressed.

After experiencing the painter incident, Xiaolu Zaizi was somewhat dissatisfied with his current strength.

Isn’t it just learning?

Let’s learn from Master tonight and stay up all night!

Kanoya's ability to adjust her mentality has always been very strong, and she wants to make progress too much.

Kamiyakawa looked at Tsurumi Aoi again: "Also, Tsurumi. If you are okay tonight, stay with Xiaolu. I will give you an additional lecture on the basics of spirit control."

Tsurumi was born with flaws in the practice of magic.

This gap in talent meant that she would not be as proficient in the various sects of spells as Xiaolu.

However, you still have to give it a try.

If Tsurumi can barely master one technique in the future, then according to Kamiyagawa's training ideas for apprentices, the one she most hopes she can master is [Spirit Control Technique].

If one can cultivate shikigami, it will significantly and directly improve the strength of the spiritual master.

"Xiao Kui, Master wants us to learn together!" Luyewu became excited again, put his hands on the floor, and leaned over to get close to the junior sister who was kneeling opposite him, "Stay here tonight, my room is very big. When you are tired, we can spread out the tatami together and sleep. Also, we will have dinner later. The food cooked by Master Hannya is very delicious, right?"

…

Kamiya's house, kitchen.

The warm yellow light is filled with hot water vapor and falls on the frosted stone countertop, forming mottled light and shadow.

The fire pulsed slightly, and the tapping of the spatula mixed with the sound of bubbling stew.

The air is filled with the aroma of stewed meat, mixed with the refreshing taste of fresh vegetables.

During the evening preparation time, Kanoya brought Tsurumi, who decided to stay overnight, to the kitchen to help Prajna.

Xiaolu also had a very close relationship with the master's wives, and it was not the first time she cooked with Prajna. She wore an apron and skillfully chopped the ingredients on the chopping board while talking to the master's wife, making a rhythmic clacking sound.

Tsurumi seemed much more reserved, quietly washing vegetables by the sink, and occasionally answering the topics that the senior sister took the initiative to throw at her.

Such an atmosphere made her heart unusually calm and peaceful.

She began to think about some things.

How to emulate the senior sister and grow into an excellent exorcist like the senior sister.

Of course, after defeating the painter and talking to 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 like the senior sister in the future, with comprehensive abilities and enough to deal with various situations on the battlefield.

It's true that Tsurumi actually thought of a possible idea.

This inspiration came after Kamiya Kawa said he would give her Smiley Aoko to use——

That is, don’t powerful exorcist weapons like Ichimonji and Smiley Aoko 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.

So, if I can collect several weapons with skills in the future...

Like Ichimonji's [Red Ghost] to assist in attack, Smiley Aoko's [Smiley Ghost] to assist in defense. Other high-quality weapons, by matching different war ash skills, should also be able to achieve targeted different battlefield uses, right?

In this way, even if I am dull, I can use different weapons to deal with different battlefield situations.

Relying on the advantages of weapons, this is a way to strengthen myself.

It’s just a little difficult to achieve ideally.

How to carry a large number of weapons and how to quickly switch weapons in battle are problems that need to be solved...

…

Taking advantage of the two apprentices and Prajna preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Kamiya took the little crayon Caizhi to the basement.

He also appraised the spoils that Xiaolu submitted.

That piece of canvas is called [Painting Core], and it is indeed the relic of the wild god in the painting.

"Aizhi."

In the basement, with Kamiya's call, half of the red crayon rolled to the center of the floor of the room.

Then, several messy and scribbled red lines twisted and spread out, painting a 3D image of a little girl with a jellyfish head.

Aizhi:?

After Aizhi 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 be useful to you."

Kamiyakawa squatted down and handed the [Painting Core] to Aizhi.

And the canvas, the moment it came into contact with the chaotic red crayon lines, disintegrated into colorful balls, quickly gathering towards Aizhi's body.

The little crayon itself hadn't reacted to what happened.

All I saw was that on her small body made up of crayon lines, other colors besides red began to surge out...
