After Shizuko Tsuruoka sent the news back to Japan, Soichiro Yagyu weighed it for a long time, but ultimately failed to suppress his desire for power. He planned to take a risk and go to the Northeast Region in person to bring back the demon sword.
Since Chaya Tsering had gotten rid of the people following him after their last meeting at the noodle shop, Tsuruoka Shizuko found his traces again with great difficulty and informed him of Yagyu Soichiro's decision.
Chaya Tsering did not make things difficult for them this time but readily agreed. He agreed to meet Soichiro Yagyu and return to Japan with them.
This surprised Tsuruoka Shizuko, who originally thought she would have to waste more words, but she thought it was Chaya Tsering who couldn't hold on any longer, so she had no doubts.
······
Two days later,
In a hotel suite in the middle of the city, Hu Xiuwu was playing poker with Deng Youcai and Hu Bayi to pass the time, while Deng Youcai's eldest brother, Deng Youfu, was studying alone in the back room.
They were waiting for Hui Erye, who was currently in Hu Bayi's inner view hall, to perform divination.
Except for Mr. Hui, who was responsible for divination and did not go out, all the disciples in the entire Northeast region took action.
The disciples who came out were divided into three waves. Following the clues given by Master Hui, they pursued the whereabouts of Chaya Tsering day and night.
Hu Xiuwu and the others are the third group of people. The other two groups have a lot of people. Only their group has the smallest number of people because Liu Kunsheng is holding the battle. There are only a few of them.
In order to facilitate their movement, the Shaman lineage specially rented a hotel for these disciples near the center of the city to facilitate their movement.
Originally, when Hu Ba saw that they were all playing together, he left Deng Youfu alone. He was a little embarrassed and wanted to drag Deng Youfu over to chat with him about home affairs.
But Deng Youcai grabbed him: "Brother Hu, don't worry about my brother. My brother is a nerd, and he is probably still studying there. He is already a doctor and wants to continue studying. He also wants to study abroad."
"I just don't understand. What's wrong with this black land? We still have to go out."
Although he was unforgiving in words, Deng Youcai still respected his eldest brother in his heart. It was he who first proposed to play poker in the lobby and gave up the partition in the suite to his eldest brother.
When teasing Menzi with Hu Xiuwu and Hu Bayi in the living room, Deng Youcai also deliberately lowered his tone, not wanting to disturb Deng Youfu who was studying in the back room.
Hu Xiuwu held a deck of cards in his hand and asked casually: "Brother Youcai, I have wanted to ask you for a long time. How did you invite Master Huang to you if Master Huang is not stationed in your hall?"
After hearing Hu Xiuwu's question, Deng Youcai was stunned and asked, "Didn't Second Master Hui tell you?"
Hu Xiuwu and Hu Ba shook their heads together, and Deng Youcai laughed: "It seems that Second Master Hui wants to get along with you. Since it is the elegance of the elders, how can I break it?"
"Can't say, can't say."
Then, Deng Youcai, the God of Wealth, said mysteriously: "Anyway, you will know after catching Chaya Tsering's little brat."
"If it weren't for him, you would have known."
Damn it, Deng Youcai, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, can actually do riddles.
Hu Xiuwu thought angrily.
While they were chatting and playing cards, Hu Xiuwu suddenly heard the sound of the door to the room being opened, and the sound of the door chain being hung inside the room being pulled apart.
Hu Xiuwu stood up immediately. The runes of the Ghost Tomb had moved to the palm of his hand and glowed faintly. The other hand was also placed on the needle bag.
Deng Youcai and Hu Bayi also kept their cards on the ground and looked at the door with wary expressions.
A powerful shout came from the door:
"Hey, Youcai, you little brat, is this how you welcome grandma?"
The speaker was short and had white hair. She looked kind-hearted, but in fact she had a loud voice. Even Deng Youfu who was staying in the back room was shouted out by her.
As soon as he saw the people coming in, Deng Youcai was like a mouse seeing a cat. He put away his original fierce face and put on a flattering smile:
"That's okay. Grandma is here. If you are rich, I will definitely entertain you with eight sedans."
The visitor was not really angry at first. After hearing Deng Youcai's words, he laughed and cursed: "Glib."
After Deng Youfu came out, he called her grandma like Deng Youcai, and then he and Deng Youcai helped the grandma sit on the sofa.
The old woman waved her hand and pushed the two away. No matter how old she was, she still had a loud voice:
"What are you doing? I don't need help, and I'm not old."
Deng Youcai continued: "That's right, you are still a flower in the Northeast."
Deng Youcai teased the old lady so much that all the wrinkles on her face were stretched out. Hu Xiuwu and Hu Bayi stood aside a little nervously, not knowing who was coming and who was missing.
Deng Youcai introduced the two of them: "Brother Hu, Xiu Wu, this is my and my eldest brother's great-grandma. She is also the head of our shaman lineage, Guan Shihua, one of the ten shamans."
Hu Xiuwu and Hu Bayi went forward to say hello to Guan Shihua.
Guan Shihua did not act like Deng Youcai when facing the two brothers. Instead, she acted like the grandmother next door, beckoning them to come closer so that she could have a better look.
"Okay, they are all good kids!"
"Grandma Guan, let's talk about old times later. We still have business to do today."
A rich male voice came from the porch. Everyone was surrounding Guan Shihua just now, but they didn't realize that Guan Shihua was behind her, followed by a tall man with a tough face wearing a peaked cap.
Both Hu Bayi and Hu Xiuwu knew this man, and they had seen his photos.
The person who came was none other than Gao Lian, the person in charge of the Northeast Region of Nadutong and the head of the Gao family, one of the four families.
Deng Youcai said in surprise: "Uncle Gao Lian, why are you here? I need you two to deal with that brat from the Japanese country. We juniors are more than enough."
Guan Shihua scolded Deng Youcai: "You are the only one who talks a lot. You are everywhere!"
With just one sentence, Deng Youcai stopped talking, and then Guan Shihua turned to look at Hu Bayi, who looked confused:
"Xiao Bayi, tell Mr. Hui that there is no need for divination anymore."
Hu Bayi responded, closed his eyes and concentrated on transmitting the words into the ears of Mr. Hui in the interior scene.
When Mr. Hui came out of Hu Bayi's body, his eyes seemed to be redder than usual. The whole mouse was like two bright red strawberries on a chocolate cake:
"What's going on? Someone has found the whereabouts of that kid. How can someone be faster than me?"
Except for Hu Xiuwu's dead master Wu Dechang, Mr. Hui has never been afraid of anyone in divination.
He was surprised that this time someone found the clues about Chaya Tsering before him.
Is there such an expert in Nedu Tongzhong?
Gao Lian explained: "You misunderstood. We didn't get the result through divination, it's just that we have spies by his side."
After saying that, he looked at Deng Youfu and seemed to see Liu Kunsheng through him:
"Let's talk to Uncle Liu Kunsheng, this scene should be over."
Guan Shihua sat on the sofa and slowly said to Deng Youfu: "Youfu, call everyone else back, and we will arrest them together with people who know everything!"
Deng Youfu was the only Chuma disciple of his generation who signed a contract with Liu Kunsheng. He had a high prestige among the Chuma disciples, so Guan Shihua ordered Deng Youfu to summon the Chuma disciples.
When Gao Lian heard Guan Shihua's words, he began to persuade her:
"Grandma Guan, we agreed. The Shaman lineage does not need to interfere in the rest of the matter. Those people will probably jump over the wall in a hurry, and there may be casualties."
But Guan Shihua's attitude was very firm: "Gao Lian, you don't need to persuade me anymore, there are no cowards in our shaman lineage."
"Are you allowed to throw your life away, but we can't shed our blood?"
