Chapter 69: The Man with White Hair
Chapter 69: The Man with White Hair
"The third person who lost the Eye of God seems to be a famous swordsman nearby."
Two people and one emergency food are walking on the road.
Paimon: "I heard that he is the current leader of the Mingjing Shisui School. He seems very powerful."
As Paimon was talking, he saw the destination not far ahead.
Wuwang: "There are two people over there, go ask them."
When he got closer, Wuwang heard the conversation between the man and the woman.
The man said, "Junior sister, don't be too sad. Master will be fine. Weren't those guys who came to challenge us before beaten away one by one by Master?"
Girl: "But... I'm still a little worried. Because in the past, no matter how dangerous the situation was, Master never wavered. But now..." The worry on the girl's face was visible to the naked eye.
The man said excitedly: "That's because Master was possessed by evil spirits! After this exorcism ceremony, Master will surely recover smoothly."
As soon as he finished speaking, Paimon's voice rang out in the field.
"Um, what happened?"
When the man saw Wuwang and his group, a look of alertness instantly appeared on his face, and he asked, "Who are you?"
Before Ying could say anything, he continued, "Whether you are just some random people or those who want to take advantage of Master's evil spirit to cause trouble, get out of my way! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude with the sword in my hand!"
As he spoke, his hand reached for the knife at his waist.
"No, no! Actually, we are here to...uh..."
Paimon hurriedly waved his hands to explain, but then he scratched his head, not knowing what to say.
At this time, Ying stood up and said sincerely: "We are here to become your disciples."
"Apprenticeship?"
The man obviously didn't believe it.
Seeing this, Paimeng quickly added, "Yes, yes, yes. We heard that the leader of the Mingjing Zhishui School is very powerful, so we came all the way here from far away to learn from him. However, as soon as we got here, we heard you guys talking about being possessed or something like that."
Wuwang covered his mouth to hold back his laughter, his body trembling slightly.
The man noticed Wuwang's abnormality and looked at Wuwang.
Ying quickly turned to look at Wuwang and glared at him fiercely.
Wuwang quickly stood up and said, "Yes, that's right."
The man held his chin with one hand, thought for a moment and said, "Looking at your clothes, you are definitely not locals."
Then he said apologetically, "I'm very sorry, because there are too many people looking for trouble recently, so we have to be careful. You came at an unfortunate time. Master has been possessed by an evil spirit recently, and his body has not recovered yet, so he cannot accept you as his disciples for the time being."
Ying said seriously, "We can wait for him to recover."
Seeing Ying's sincerity, the man said, "It seems that you are really sincere in wanting to be my disciple. My junior sister and I will introduce you to my master. It's up to you to decide whether to stay or go. My master's name is Tumen, you should know that... Aba Aba Aba..."
Junior Sister: "Since Master's divine eye was taken away, his personality has changed drastically, so we asked the shrine maiden from Narugami Taisha Shrine to help."
The moment Paimon heard the name of Naruto-taisha Shrine, his little body trembled.
The junior sister noticed that Paimeng was acting strange and asked with some concern, "What's wrong?"
"No no"
Paimon waved his hands quickly.
Man: "The exorcism ceremony will be held in the evening. If you are interested, you can come and have a look."
Ying nodded and left with Wuwang and Paimeng.
When leaving, Wuwang looked at Ying with a sly smile on his face and said, "I didn't expect that our Ying would be so capable."
Ying's face quickly turned red like an apple, and she made a sound and quickened her pace forward.
Wuwang was amused when he saw Ying's expression.
Time flies, just like your love for me...
Cough!
At night, the two people and the emergency food returned to the same place as during the day.
The man I saw during the day was still there, but the junior sister was missing.
The sadness visible on the man's face.
When Wuwang and the others approached, the man immediately shushed them, asking them to be quiet.
Then she said, "You are here. Fortunately, you came late and didn't see the Master go crazy just now. Just now, Junior Sister was supporting the Master and accidentally heard the Master muttering some names in a low voice. Junior Sister asked who they were, and the Master suddenly showed a horrified expression and pushed Junior Sister away..."
At this point, the man's face showed even more sadness.
"Master seemed to be in great pain, covering his ears, with a pair of red eyes, looking around constantly. He kept calling out some names, some of which we knew and some of which we didn't. They all seemed to be kendo masters that Master had defeated before. One of them was called Anxi, who was Master's former senior brother, but after being defeated by Master in his early years, he had been wandering without a fixed place to stay. Master just called out his name several times... Alas, fortunately the shrine maiden knocked Master unconscious, so the exorcism ceremony could continue. Now that the exorcism ceremony has begun, let's wait quietly for the result. I hope Master is okay..."
He said the last sentence as if talking to himself.
"Right! I'll go get some water for Master. You guys wait here."
After saying that, the man left quickly.
As soon as the man left Wuwang, he noticed someone was watching them nearby.
Turning around, he saw a man with white hair, and the man realized belatedly that Wuwang was looking at him.
He turned and ran without any hesitation.
Ying also noticed a gaze, turned around and found the man with white hair, and saw Wuwang was also looking at him.
