Upon arriving at the mountain, passing through the torii gate, a stone path leads all the way to the shrine gate. The stone slabs are relatively clean, although some are damaged, they still look alright.

However, the yards on both sides were overgrown with weeds. Although they were not deep, they were very unsightly, as if they had not been tended to for years.

The shrine looked old and small, and upon closer inspection, there were quite a few damaged parts along the edges.

Looking at the dilapidated shrine, Tsuchimikado Fuyu said speechlessly, "Sister Koyo, are you sure there are still mountain gods in this kind of shrine?"

Generally speaking, if a shrine is abandoned for many years, the "gods" enshrined in the shrine will die because they have no faith to support them.

Moreover, these "gods" are the favorites of Onmyoji. Onmyoji sign contracts with them when they are about to disappear because they once had a glorious past. As long as the Onmyoji can provide enough spiritual power, they will transform from "gods" into powerful "shikigami".

After all, most of the "gods" in Japan are monsters, so it's normal for them to be bound by contracts.

However, because they also have their own dignity, they will not give up their divine status unless they really cannot survive.

Some gods would rather disappear than sign a contract with an Onmyoji.

"Hahaha, that's why I said she's weak." Xiaoyi knocked on the door and shouted, "Hey, you idiot from Kiku University, come out and greet the guests."

Tsuchimikado Fuyu looked at Xiaoyi speechlessly. What the hell was this "entertaining guests" nonsense?

It made me think I had come to that kind of place.

Soon, the shrine gates opened, and a woman wearing a mask and an orange kimono walked out.

"Xiaoyi, you're here?"

"You begged me, so of course I had to come. Besides, I can make a fortune today," Xiaoyi said with a smile.

"Is this his child?" Kikuri suddenly turned her gaze to Tsuchimikado Fuyu and asked.

"How is it? Pretty good, right?" Xiaoyi said with a smile.

"The spiritual power is very weak."

Tsuchimikado Fuyu's lips twitched. Although it was true, you were being a little too honest.

There's nothing I can do about my weak spiritual power. I've only fought once. Without fighting, how can I gain experience to level up? And without leveling up, how can I become stronger?

"Defeating you is definitely not a problem anyway," Xiaoyi said nonchalantly. "You, who are so weak that you can only fight by relying on a Noh mask, have the nerve to talk about Xiaodong!"

The other party was stunned for a moment, and said in a flustered manner, "I was just telling the truth, and besides, this mask is also part of my strength."

"Then if you're so capable, go and solve those problems yourself. Why are you asking me?" Xiaoyi seemed to have gotten into the act of teasing, looking at Kikuri smugly and saying.

Kikuri, inside the mask, twitched at the corner of her mouth. "If I could handle those things, would I need to come to you?"

Hmph, once I have the Spirit Summoning General, let's see who begs whom. Without these "high-quality" tasks from me, how will you make money?

"Come in first! I'll tell you the details, and don't forget the agency fee."

"I know, you're so long-winded. When have I ever shortchanged you on your commission?" Xiaoyi waved her hand impatiently and said, "Speaking of which, you've made quite a bit of money from commissions these days, so why is your shrine still in such a dilapidated state?"

"This...this is none of your business. Why should you care where I spent the money?" With that, Kikuri walked into her room.

Upon entering the room, Tsuchimikado Fuyu looked around. Although it was quite ordinary, it was relatively clean, unlike the dilapidated state of the outside.

However, Tsuchimikado Fuyu could vaguely see a protruding object in the corner, which looked like a game controller.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu shook his head. He must have seen wrong. Gods shouldn't play games... Well, it's not impossible. After all, even angels can get addicted to games, so it's possible for a mere minor god on Earth to be addicted as well.

But thinking about it this way, humans are quite amazing, actually inventing things that even gods and angels are obsessed with.

No, no, what am I thinking? I might not even be able to tell if this is a game controller.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Koi found a place to sit down, and Kikuri quickly got into work mode, giving a detailed account of the incident.

The wealthy businessman's home is not far from here, but he dares not go home because of this incident and has bought a new house elsewhere. Therefore, it is quite troublesome for Tsuchimikado and his gang to take advantage of the situation to "extort" him money.

Kikuri and Koi were discussing how to successfully "blackmail" the other party.

Yes, this god is discussing how to blackmail others, how shameless is that!

You're a god! Even if you're a bit weak, it doesn't sound good to extort mortals!

When Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked this question, Kikuri simply replied that since they weren't her followers, she could extort them without a second thought, especially since she hadn't even done it herself, so she felt no pressure.

Okay, that makes a lot of sense... my foot! You've completely lost your integrity!

Having witnessed such a shameless god, Tsuchimikado Fuyu had even less hope for other Japanese gods.

Why bother worshipping any gods? I'd rather wait until I draw Ara, Ichimokuren, or Miketsu to worship them.

Now that Miketsu has been summoned, shouldn't we take a stroll around Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto? Who knows, we might even be able to raid the shrine!

At night, a cool breeze was blowing. Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Koi stood in front of a courtyard. It was very quiet around them, and no one turned on the lights. It was as if they knew that the house was haunted, and few people came out to walk around at night.

"Is this the place?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked curiously, looking at the courtyard surrounded by an extremely long wall.

This isn't just a wealthy businessman; he's a total tycoon! This courtyard is several times bigger than his own!

Even if this is the suburbs, it shouldn't be built like this. It's simply enviable and makes people jealous. Sure enough, we should take advantage of these nouveau riche.

"Yes, this is the largest courtyard around here," Xiaoyi nodded and said.

"Sister Yi, do you think the plan is reliable? I don't think it's very reliable at all."

Tsuchimikado and his team had already made a plan. The plan wasn't complicated; simply put, they would let the family see the earthbound spirit with their own eyes, and then the two of them would appear to destroy the spirit and save the family.

Moreover, Kikuri has already investigated and found that this earthbound spirit has nothing to do with this family. The wealthy businessman only bought this courtyard a year ago. It's not that the earthbound spirit is seeking revenge, but rather that it's taking its anger out on someone else.

If it's about revenge, Tsuchimikado and his group will first investigate the cause, and then use the "correct" method to fulfill the other party's wish and help it ascend to heaven.

As for how Kikuri found out about the news, Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't know, but as a god, she must have some channels of her own!

What Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't know was that if it was a vengeful spirit bound to the earth, the resentment would be very strong, especially since wealthy merchants would also have resentment.

However, if it's not for revenge, the resentment isn't that strong, and the wealthy merchant won't get this stuff on him. Of course, if the wealthy merchant lives in this courtyard for a long time, he will slowly get the other party's resentment on him.

The plan is simple, but it's a bit troublesome to implement. After all, people can't just suddenly come back to watch you exorcise ghosts!

The most crucial point here needs to be completed by Kiku.

"Although the students at Kiku University are a bit weak, they can easily do this little thing. Don't worry, let's go in and take a look. Someone will come soon."

With that, Xiaoyi quickly jumped onto the wall and then jumped inside.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu sighed and followed him over the wall. Although the wall was high, Tsuchimikado Fuyu was in the Nine Lives Cat form, so he easily climbed over.

However, due to the prolonged possession, the nine-tailed cat was already very unhappy, and the nine-tailed cat's impatient nagging kept echoing in Tsuchimikado Fuyu's mind.

If I hadn't promised to buy Nine Lives Cat some dried fish afterwards, Nine Lives Cat would have gone on strike long ago.

The courtyard was quite large, with many rooms. Xiaoyi had no desire to explore the rooms at all, and directly took out a piece of paper that looked like a talisman. This was something that Kikuri had made to sense resentment.

Xiao Yi infused the paper with spiritual power, and it instantly transformed into a water droplet, flying into the courtyard.

Because Kikuri is a water-attribute land deity, all of her abilities are water-attribute.

Xiaoyi and Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't stop either, jumping onto the roof and quickly following after them.

Just as the two were taking action, Kikuri also began her plan.

Although his strength has become very weak, the mask can still function, and he can still barely use some of his former abilities.

Actually, the method is quite simple: just use the earthbound spirit method to lure people over while they are sleeping.

Moreover, although the other party has moved out, they are actually not far from here, only about a ten-minute walk away. As long as no one obstructs them on the way, the process can proceed smoothly.

Kikuri didn't go alone; Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked the three-tailed fox to protect her. Since the fox wanted to conserve its divine power, the three-tailed fox carried her across.

After all, to run down the mountain quickly, one needs to use abilities, and those abilities require divine power to unleash.

The method is simple, but it is a bit troublesome to implement. First, you have to maintain the ability continuously, and second, you have to be careful not to be interrupted.

It would be awkward if I got interrupted.

Kikuri also wanted to conserve her strength, since no one came to worship, and every bit of her strength she used was less.

However, as the local earth god, she couldn't ignore such matters, which is why she sought Xiaoyi's help.

However, Xiaoyi's demands were exorbitant, and Kikuri would definitely not agree to pay for it herself, so she needed to "extort" the wealthy businessman.

Moreover, she herself has some reasons for needing money, such as spending money on in-game purchases, or buying games... oops, I misspoke, it's about protecting humanity and supporting game developers.

Yes, that's right, that's exactly it.

How could I, a dignified local deity, possibly be addicted to games?! Impossible, impossible.

The luring went smoothly, but to avoid a homeless man, they took a slightly longer route, taking about fifteen minutes to reach the courtyard.

Actually, there's another way: just pick them up while they're sleeping. That's faster and saves Kikuri's divine power.

But why didn't Kiku and the others think of such a simple method?

Tsuchimikado Fuyu had indeed suggested this method, but Kikuri rejected it because Kikuri said that this method of seduction would allow the other party to perceive their surroundings.

In other words, when he was being seduced, he knew where he was going and what he was going to do, but he couldn't control himself.

This would pave the way for Tsuchimikado and his team to rescue people, and also allow them to make more money.

If you simply hug them, people who don't know better might think Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the others are criminals!

Although they want to swindle money, they do it in a way that makes people give it willingly; they won't force anyone to take it.

This is Kikuri's bottom line as a local land deity who protects the area, although she still has no morals.

The man opened the courtyard gate and slowly walked toward the well.

Kikuri also sensed Koi's location and had the three-tailed fox carry her to where the two were hiding.

"You guys prepare to rescue them," Kikuri whispered.

"Don't worry, everything is ready," Xiaoyi said with a smile.

Tsuchimikado and the others didn't just come to the courtyard to wait; they had already deployed their shikigami in various locations to protect that person in a timely manner.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu is also ready to unleash "Word of Power: Bind" at any time; as long as he can trap the opponent for a short while, it will be enough for everyone to make their move.

Moreover, Tsuchimikado Fuyu is currently possessed by Princess Kaguya, and his spiritual power is at its peak.

Soon, Tsuchimikado Fuyu spotted the wealthy merchant. The merchant appeared to be in his forties, slightly overweight, not very tall, with messy hair and a slightly frightened expression on his face, indicating that he had sensed his location.
