This is the legendary...it's mainly about turning against guests. Although in fact, Xie Zhe and the others are not the masters. The real owner is probably the city lord or someone sent by his subordinates, right? They haven't seen anyone like this appear yet. At some point, Amiao suddenly appeared from the shamisen. It doesn't seem to hate the red spots on people's foreheads now, or it seems to be a little used to it. It circled around Gui Hai's feet several times, sniffing non-stop. What's even more surprising is that Gui Haishi can probably see it. His eyes followed the kitten's shadow. Although others didn't quite understand what he was doing, Xie Zhe and Xue Miyin could figure it out at a glance.
"Are you waiting for someone too?" Han Shang started to greet him directly, "We heard from the guards that your surname is Guihai."
"Ah, yes. There's nothing to hide."
Gui Haishi said, holding up a rhinoceros horn cup. Han Zhang and Xie Zhe looked at each other, feeling a little confused. Just now he refused to reveal anything, and now he says it's not worth hiding. It's really weird. Ling Huan looked at the hem of his clothes that were sparkling in the sun before. Now that he was indoors, it seemed not so obvious.
Five other people were brought here with them. Among the five people, there was a silent monk with a scar on his face, and two onmyojis dressed in ordinary clothes. One of them had a fierce expression and claimed to be a demon hunter, and the other was a woman. There was also a Taoist priest with a gray beard and his eyes didn't work very well. The last one was a fortune teller. When chatting with others on the road, he mentioned that he was a fortune teller from the east. He went around the south gate to enter the city, and he was definitely arrested. Xie Zhe thought to himself that it was another local who was arresting people randomly to take credit.
"Are you also the Onmyoji who came to see the city lord?"
The fierce demon hunter asked. Gui Haishi turned her face to look at him, but he was not in her eyes.
"That's right, but it's not the same as you."
"Didn't you say that you are also..."
Xue Miyin frowned and asked, half-sentence. Because she did remember that before entering the city, he said that Onmyoji were being recruited here, and she came here for this purpose. But think about it carefully, since he was invited into the city in such a big way, and now he is being treated well - after all, the guards originally standing in this private room were dressed the same as the guards who brought them here, so they were probably The same people. So maybe... his status is actually more noble than they thought?
"I am an Onmyoji, and I am indeed here to see the city lord." Guihai looked at Miyin, but did not really look at her. "But I did not actively respond to his call, but he invited me here."
"You mean you're very tall?" said the person before.
The other four of the five people didn't speak, but judging from their looks, they might have thought the same thing, except for the old man who was probably deaf and couldn't hear. But actually Xie Zhe and the others don't think so. If he wanted to put on airs, he could have just said why he came and what he was doing when they first met, but he didn't. He just talked about the situation in Wanlong City. Putting aside that strange sense of distance, he is still a talkative and amiable person. I am answering this now because I was asked this question.
The man with a ferocious face suddenly became mute. It seemed that he was just bluffing. But maybe he is still half-smart? After all, the only one who looks most presentable and powerful here is Gui Hai. Could it be that he personally came to test whether these people were charlatans? It's not impossible. After all, the reward for recommenders is not so easy to get.
"I have met the city lord a few times, and we have helped each other a little. Now I will help him again. He has a lot of things to do every day. I have a letter of appointment here to chat with a few people for him temporarily. You can check in first, Prove that I didn’t lie to you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, an attendant came forward holding a tray covered with silk. On the plate is the rolled-up letter of appointment. Xie Zhe, who was standing in the middle, hesitated for a moment and was about to reach out, but was snatched away by the only female onmyoji next to him. She opened the scroll and everyone came to look at it. The general idea is that Gui Haishi is right, there is also the Seal of the City King underneath. The onmyoji snapped it back into the tray, and the attendant withdrew. Gui Hai stood up slowly, put his hands behind his back, and said seriously to the people in front of him:
"You generally know the situation. But the people who are here are basically people from outside the city, so I'd better explain a little more. You must have heard about the living corpses, which is why you are gathered here. Many people feel that this is an infectious disease that is difficult to treat. Governments in various places are trying their best to recruit doctors and buy home remedies at high prices. However, to this day, no matter whether herbal medicine, acupuncture, or other methods are effective, they have no effect. The lord of this city believes that the resurrection of corpses must be caused by strange powers, so he is recruiting people with strong spiritual powers. Whether there are any spells that can suppress the disease, or there are any methods to deal with living corpses, please speak freely. If what you say makes sense, The money and medicinal materials for in-depth research are also readily available, and the reward is calculated separately. It doesn't matter even if you don't know magic. If you can come up with any effective suggestions, you will still be rewarded heavily."
He talked freely and openly, and he really had nothing to hide. Although he does not work in the City Prince's Mansion, he is as relaxed and comfortable in Wanlong City as he is at home. After listening, several people nodded, except the old Taoist priest who was confused, but he didn't ask further questions. It is estimated that this old man was kidnapped by others as soon as they heard he was a Taoist priest.
"So what do you think? Or do you want to show off and prove your strength?"
"I'll go first!"
The fierce demon hunter stood up first. He has two axes that can be equipped with his own powerful spiritual power. He did have two brushes and started playing in the private room on the spot. He was like an acrobat in a theater troupe, and his tricks in dancing with swords and guns were so flashy that he dazzled several people. Amiao really didn't like him. She kept baring her teeth and huffing at him, with her ears tilted back. This Onmyoji might not have any real skills, he couldn't see Amiao at all. And judging from the current situation, none of the five guests can see it.
The witcher used too much force and smashed a hole in the ceiling. With a "boom", the whole building seemed to be shaking, and several pieces of wall covering fell down like snow, causing them to cover their heads in embarrassment. Fortunately, the meal must have been finished, otherwise Gui Hai might have lost his temper.
However, he currently does not, and he does not even frown. He just nodded and asked this question:
"Then what's the use of your skills?"
"If I fight against a living corpse, I can defeat one against a hundred. When dealing with those monsters, I should beat them into obedience. If you don't believe me, you can ask for my name. I was——"
"Okay, let's take the young master to the private room next door to rest."
As soon as Gui Hai raised his hand, two attendants immediately came forward to "help" him go. His posture didn't look like he was holding someone in custody, but he was a little anxious. He kept beeping and beeping until the attendant closed the door. Xue Miyin scratched his head and asked Gui Hai:
"Didn't you send him away?"
"No. Keeping this kind of person will always be useful, but he is not needed here." He answered solemnly.
The monk who had been silent until now suddenly shouted: "What a reckless man."
"Then what is this master good at?"
What happened after that was meaningless. The monks came from the west and had no special skills, but they could help the souls of the dead and return them to peace. He was also invited into the next room, and it sounded like he was with the witcher. After all, this is the job of many monks and Taoists, and there is much more they can do. Apparently, he was just here to try his luck and make a living. As for the female onmyoji, she is quite capable. In addition to her ability to slay demons, she said she had an ancestral medicine that could make people incapacitated. She'd tried it on living corpses, and some worked, but some didn't. This may be related to many reasons - the amount of medicine, the age of the deceased, the weather of the day, the time of death and the state of decomposition of the body... To make a drug that can be widely used, I am afraid more is needed. experiments and materials, and a lot of time.
She was invited to the private room opposite and was not with those two people, which was noteworthy. The remaining two were elderly, and the old Taoist priest simply couldn't hear a word and made people make gestures. Although Gui Hai didn't feel impatient, the attendant was exhausted from waving, writing and jumping in front of the old man. In the end, there was really no choice but to invite him home. An attendant said that the old man was a local and had been sent by his family. He was indeed somewhat famous in the temple when he was young, but later the dilapidated temple was demolished, and he returned home as an idler. Probably, he really has no ability, but his children are hoping to use this "work experience" to see if they can get some rewards. As for the fortune teller, he confessed honestly that he was a charlatan and couldn't even tell fortunes accurately, so he was kidnapped by the locals. Gui Haishi didn't make it difficult for him, he waved his hand and let him go. Until the end, apart from a dozen attendants, there were only four of them left that Gui Hai wanted to ask.
"Everyone, please go out first." Gui Hai said to them.
"Yes, there are two young masters here who have swords..."
The attendants were hesitant, but Gui Hai shook his head and said to them: "Those who carry weapons may not necessarily take action against others; those who take action against others may not necessarily carry weapons."
Several people scratched their heads and didn't quite understand. Two of them also said that if Mr. Guihai had any shortcomings, he would definitely be held accountable. But since Mr. Guihai was so insistent, they knew better and reluctantly retreated. The last person to leave said that they were right outside the door and could call them if anything happened. Gui Haishi nodded, and then he left behind closed doors.
"Let me tell you something first," Han Chang said suddenly, "We are running with you, and the only real onmyoji is Xie Zhe."
"I know," Gui Hai said, "you are a monster."
He stiffened for a moment, then smiled awkwardly. Nowadays, there are really more and more talented people in the world. Can anyone see through my own transformation skills? Although the people who recognized him did have some abilities, he still couldn't help but have some doubts about himself. Guihai did not make things difficult for him, but directly asked the silent Xie Zhe:
"Master Xie has something you want to say a long time ago, right?"
Xie Zhe was called by name, and then he spoke slowly: "Ah... yes."
Ling Huan asked: "What do you see? What ideas do you have?"
"There is really no idea," Xie Zhe said sincerely, "but I wanted to tell you something before, but the chance was interrupted, and I didn't have the chance to say it after that. I didn't think it was an important matter, so I didn't say it. That's fine. But since I have met this young master again and you have seen what I want to say, I will tell my whole story to my friends, so please don't mind."
"Please." Gui Hai extended his hand.
Xie Zhe looked at him, and the other person was also looking at him. But in his eyes, there seemed to be no reflection of his own person, but only his own sword. The outline of Fengyun Zhan was outlined with sharp edges and corners in Gui Haishi's eyes. No wonder he asked Xie Zhe last and sent everyone else away. After all, this divine sword is not something you can just tell others about.
Xie Zhe's eyes fell on his Liwu hat and said: "You know a lot about the Southern Sea, and you also know a lot about the grievances and hatreds of the Shark people. I think that's where you are from. people."
"good."
"After all...you are not a human being."
