Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 123 Toshio Saeki, who left home

Li Xuan still had a somewhat good impression of this driver.

Fujiwara Jiro, rubbing his aching neck, said somewhat embarrassedly, "I thought you... you came to the Forest of Trees to end your life. I was about to leave, but the more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt, so I came back to find you and try to persuade you to cherish your life. I never expected you to be the legendary exorcist..."

Exorcist?
Isn't my title as a judge of Fengdu more prestigious?
Li Xuan said, "I am not an exorcist, but a Taoist priest from China, and also a judge of Fengdu City in the underworld, who is in charge of judging the good and evil of ghosts and gods wandering among humans."

Fujiwara Jiro was shocked by the words "judge," "trial," and "demon."

This sounds incredible. Even a so-called Onmyoji shouldn't be able to do things so arbitrarily. Besides, the Onmyoji in the annual special festival rituals look like incompetent swindlers who cheat people out of their money.

He felt embarrassed; it turned out the other person didn't need his help at all.

Li Xuan seemed to see through his thoughts and smiled, "Doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, regardless of whether the result is successful or not, at least your starting point is good. This is a rare virtue, and you don't need to feel embarrassed."

Fujiwara Jiro said, "Guest, it's too dangerous here. Shall we go back to Tokyo?"

Li Xuan thought for a moment, looked at the messy forest, and nodded, saying, "Let's go back. We've seen a bit of this forest now."

As the two left the forest and drove towards Tokyo, Fujiwara Jiro's attitude towards Li Xuan improved significantly. This was not only because Li Xuan gave him money, but also because Li Xuan's ability to fight against ghosts—something ethereal and intangible—made him a master among masters, someone that ordinary people would never encounter in their entire lives…

Looking at the dark highway, Fujiwara Jiro remembered Li Xuan saying he wasn't from Japan, so he asked, "Did the guest book a hotel in Tokyo?"

Li Xuan said, "Not yet."

Fujiwara Jiro quickly said, "If you don't mind, you can stay at my house for a few days. Anyway, I have spare rooms at home, so there's no need to spend so much money at a hotel in Tokyo."

Li Xuan had only visited the island nation once in the real world, mainly to buy some digital products, and had not learned much about the local customs and culture.

He had heard that the sex trade streets were very popular in island nations, where people dressed in all sorts of colorful clothes spoke pleasantly and there were also exciting performances...

Hey……

Now the only thing to do is stay away from these things.

Judges of Fengdu were not forbidden from marrying, but there were certain precepts that required them to stay away from women, especially when wearing official robes and performing rituals.

Hey……

A few hardships are nothing compared to the path to immortality.

Li Xuan said, "Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"

Fujiwara Jiro laughed and said, "How could that be? If my wife and daughter knew you were such a capable person, they would be overjoyed! My daughter has recently become a fan of an actor who played the role of an Onmyoji in 'Abe no Seimei.' He gained many fans with his face and various cool poses, and she is one of them..."

He chuckled and said, "No matter how realistic an actor's performance is, it's still fake. Nothing beats how real you are."

Two hours later, around 9 p.m., the car entered a more remote area of ​​Tokyo, which was mostly inhabited by scattered businesses and residents.

After parking the car.

Fujiwara Jiro opened the door: "Welcome, welcome!"

Li Xuan took off his shoes and went inside. He looked around and saw that the house was very small, only about 60 square meters, but it had three floors, like a small building block house.

A woman in her thirties walked in from the inner room. Seeing Li Xuan's handsome appearance and the distinct difference in demeanor compared to the Japanese, she paused for a moment, then nodded politely in greeting. She then looked at her husband and asked, "What is this gentleman's name?"

Fujiwara Jiro was also taken aback; he still didn't know the guest's name.

Li Xuan said, "My name is Li Gan, I'm from China, and I'm here in Japan for tourism. I work in some folk culture-related fields, and by chance, I met your husband. I was kindly invited to stay at your home for a few days..."

The woman quickly replied, "Hello, my name is Fujiwara Riku, please feel free to stay here."

Fujiwara Jiro hung his coat on the hanger and said with some doubt, "Strange, hasn't Iyuki come back yet? She said a few days ago that she was going to work as a caregiver to earn her first money after graduation. She called me this morning, but it was very noisy on the other end and the signal seemed bad. I was busy at the time and didn't pay attention. Did she call you?"

The example was somewhat taken aback: "No, but it's time to come back now. I'll give her a call."

She picked up the landline in the hallway and dialed her daughter's number.

Fujiwara Jiro led Li Xuan to sit down at the living room table, turned on the television, and brought over two bottles of sake: "Mr. Li, please try some sake from our island nation. Don't worry, you won't get drunk."

Remembering that judges are prohibited from drinking alcohol, Li Xuan decided it would be more practical to simply quit drinking altogether, waving his hand and saying, "I don't drink alcohol; I usually drink tea..."

His direct words startled Fujiwara Jiro for a moment, but he quickly realized that since the man was a foreigner, he didn't communicate with the same roundabout ways as the Japanese.

Fujiwara Jiro brought out the tea set, brewed the tea, and scalded the cups. He smiled and said, "Tea ceremony is very popular in our island nation, but I'm not good at it. I'll have my wife demonstrate it for me later. She used to work at a high-end resort and received very high praise..."

Just then, the person on the phone started to look anxious: "Hey, Jingxue, can you hear me? Your voice sounds weird, come back quickly..."

Fujiwara Jiro sensed something was wrong and turned to his wife: "What's wrong? Let me tell you."

He got up, walked over, and took the phone. He held the receiver to his ear and heard his daughter Jingxue's voice: "Daddy, I'm so scared! There are little kids making cat-like noises, and women hiding in plastic bags. I'm terrified! It's so dark here. Please come and take me away..."

Ah!
Fujiwara Jiro shouted, "Where are you? Stop saying such terrible things and tell me your address!"

He is still shaken by the supernatural events he encountered in the forest at dusk, and hopes that his usually mischievous daughter was just joking.

Little did he know, while he was on the phone...

In Li Xuan's "field of vision," a pale little hand slowly emerged from the receiver, attempting to grab Fujiwara Jiro's neck...

This is outrageous!
He immediately recognized that it was Toshio Saeki's hand. He got up and rushed over in three quick steps. He had a talisman hidden in his left palm. He grabbed the hand and pulled it out!

It was indeed Kayako's six-year-old son, Toshio Saeki. He suddenly fell to the ground, looked up at Li Xuan in a daze, opened his mouth, and let out a wildcat-like scream...

This child is not simple. He doesn't seem to attack proactively, but he's cooperating with Kayako to scare people. He must not be allowed to live...

Now that we've made our move, we won't hold back!

Still calling?

Li Xuan flipped his hand and tossed the Fengdu Treasure Guiding Seal into Saeki Toshio's wide-open mouth, then kicked it shut. He casually pulled out a Fengdu-specific talisman, the Fengdu Fire Hell True Talisman, and slapped it onto Saeki Toshio's forehead, loudly chanting the Fengdu Fire Hell Incantation:
"Red smoke and black mist, copper blazing and iron city. Suppressing and imprisoning sinful souls, torture without end. The Southern Dipper burns bones, the Fire Emperor burns forms. Quickly remove the source of evil, and bring peace to the people. Fire soldiers arrest and inspect, burn down the ghost camp. Anyone who dares to disobey will be punished according to the law. So be it!"

Saeki Toshio's house is Kayako's base of operations and a place where the threat level is greatly increased. Now that Saeki Toshio has taken the initiative to run away, let him stay and let him know the consequences of running away from home!
