There is nothing wrong with the training method of the Justice Messenger

"Of course we don't care, but are you sure you want to go find that person by yourself? From the perspective of life safety, I think it's better for you to wait for others to find you. At least there won't be too many scary guys around you, and you can still run, and you can call on your friends in the Onmyoji Office. Oh, yes, it seems that you have a good relationship with the Nura group, and it would be even better with their help." Fujiki really kindly reminded: "The chances of survival will be much higher that way."

Li Nian was too lazy to explain and just said, "Then I'll trouble you two."

"Look, how confident he is." He said this with sarcasm. Translated, Teng Qi meant that he thought Li Nian was ignorant of life and death and too arrogant. He thought that having strength was one thing, but being careless was another. "No wonder he could have a common language with someone like Tsuchigumo. Birds of a feather flock together."

"Since you have defeated the Earth Spider, Master Li has the capital to be confident."

Dalian Temple Zhidao looked at the calm Li Nian and did not miss his admission that he might die in the fight with Yuyuko. He felt that this person was very similar to his old friend named Tian Ruo Qingxian. Although their personalities were different, they would always face challenges head-on, take the initiative, and put life and death aside because they valued other things more.

Dalian Temple Zhidao knows this kind of people too well.

So is he.

"So, about taking me to see Yuyuko?"

Dalian Temple Zhidao smiled and said, "Since Lord Li has this intention, then when you go to Kyoto, you will naturally be able to find that Lord."

Sure enough, it’s in Kyoto.

It is a place similar to the base camp of the exorcist, and it is also the place where the feathered fox was once suppressed.

It was also the place full of sad memories where the Kyoto spiritual disaster broke out, killing "Li Nian"'s parents and many innocent people.

"Of course, you don't have to go to Kyoto to find her. You can stay in Chiba, and she will come to find you... and those guys from the Nura Group." Fujiki suddenly remembered something and clapped his hands: "Oh, yes, speaking of the Nura Group, those people are also planning to go to Kyoto to find her recently, or you can go together?"

Are the Nura Clan members going to Kyoto too?

Li Nian was stunned when he heard this, he had never heard of it. Then he thought about it and guessed that the Nura clan also had their own grudges that needed to be resolved with Yuyuko, and it might also involve their monster unity and the matter of establishing a new master for the demons and monsters.

Li Nian's eyes flickered.

He was not really stupid. He didn't know that if he took the initiative to look for Yuyuko, he would definitely run into her subordinates, making it difficult to escape or fight. He just felt that even so, it was better than being found by her and affecting the people he cared about, so he was willing to take the initiative to go to Kyoto.

Li Nian also planned to pick a good time to go there, communicate with his superiors, and get some information and support from the Yin-Yang Bureau.

Now after hearing Fujiki tell him that the Nura clan will also be there soon, Li Nian feels that it will turn into a grand situation, and the Onmyoji Agency will definitely take action at that time.

Although Li Nian had no intention of deliberately taking advantage of other people's power, he keenly felt that it might be a better opportunity for him to fish in troubled waters.

It's a good time indeed.

But was this news leaked to me by Fujiki?

Li Nian looked at Teng Qi in confusion.

"Why, Master Fujiki and I have met a few times and talked a few words, and we have developed feelings for each other, so you don't want to see me die?"

"Aiya, Yato's friend, as a father I have to take care of you."

"Thank you for your kindness, what is the truth?"

"Haha, I want to see the scene become more lively and chaotic, so that people like you who like to mess around will have a better chance to show off."

"...That seems to mean that you don't want your boss, Yuyuko, to unify all the monsters too smoothly?"

"Maybe it's to help her gather the troublemakers together so that they can be caught in one fell swoop?" Fujiki said casually, as if to find an excuse for his actions.

"...makes sense."

It's all possible.

Li Nian couldn't see what this person was thinking behind his playful expression.

But I remembered that Lu Sheng once said that the original purpose of this guy instructing Yato to kill all the Great Ape of Kanto was to provoke the Nura group and intensify the conflict between the Nura group and Yuyuko. It seems that that was not Yuyuko's intention, but that he personally had another purpose in mind and acted willfully and recklessly, which deviated from the intention of the organization.

At this moment, I feel more and more that this guy is definitely not a loyal subordinate of Yuyuko, but just a temporary partner.

This includes the man next to him, Zhidao Dalianji. His words showed respect for Yuyuko, but his attitude had nothing to do with loyalty.

In comparison, the three monsters who once died at the hands of Li Nian, Kidomaru, Mole Cricket Group, and Ibaraki Douji, were obviously subordinates loyal to Yuyuko.

Tian Ruoyou said that Yuyuko's subordinates include people from all walks of life, so it is not surprising that such a guy would appear besides his confidants.

They are a group of evil parties gathered together for their own interests. It is normal for them to have their own ulterior motives. It is a joke to expect them to have any loyalty and unified beliefs.

Suzuka suddenly said, "While you guys are chatting, can you let me see the information about the Taishan Fujun Festival?"

Dalian Temple Zhidao just remembered, his eyes slightly left Li Nian, glanced at Suzuka, and immediately pushed a folder in front of him from the table, and smiled gently: "This is it, take it away, and read it carefully, Suzuka, I look forward to your further research and experiments after you get this information.

Even when Suzuka once again decisively refused to join them, Dalianji Zhidao still handed over the information casually without making any further requests.

Although that attitude still couldn't be said to reflect the deep love between father and daughter, it did seem like a teacher's expectations for his students.

Suzuka, however, felt extremely disgusted by this, with a sinister expression on her face. She took the information without saying a word, and even took out a piece of paper to wipe the place where the man had touched, and then started reading.

She came here just for this information and needed to confirm its contents. Although she didn't think that someone like Dalian Temple Zhidao would lie to her, she was also worried that there was a trap hidden in it that would lead her to perform the Taishan Fujun Festival in a strange way, so as to achieve this guy's experimental purpose.

Li Nian waited for Suzuka to finish confirming the information. He did not mention the matter of Yuyuko again, but asked about the information related to the Taishan Fujun Festival.

"The Taishan Prefecture Lord Ceremony is a ritual system that involves the soul, right?"

"Exactly. Just as the name suggests, it is a technique for communicating with the Lord of Mount Tai and manipulating the soul through divinity." Zhidao of Dalian Temple wanted to chat with this mage for a while. He remembered that Li Nian had mentioned before that he was interested in the Lord of Mount Tai Festival. He also wanted to talk to him about the topic of the soul and see what insights he had.

"In other words, the prerequisite for implementation is the existence of both the Lord of Mount Tai and the soul."

"Isn't that a matter of course?"

"Where is the Lord of Mount Tai? Where is his soul?"

The Great Daoist of Dalian Temple decisively answered: "Hell."

It is said that after a person dies, his soul will go to that place.

"Is that a real place?" Suzuka asked hopefully.

"It does exist." It was Fujiki who answered, "People who have never died or been there may not understand it, but it is actually a well-ordered little world. Some people call it the other side. After a person dies, the soul will leave the body and be led there, experience reincarnation, and be reborn as a new person. In addition to the god of death who will come to escort you, there are also spells cast by wizards in the world to save souls. As a god, my Yato also has the ability to guide souls. Are you interested in trying it?"

Li Nian ignored his half-joking nonsense, grasped the point, and asked doubtfully: "You sound as if you have died once and have been to a place like hell."

"Bingo, you guessed it right, but unfortunately there is no prize."

"…So what kind of monster are you?"

This Fujiki looked like a young man of the same age as himself, but the Yato God who seemed to be born in ancient times called him father. It was obvious that he was a man with quite a story. Now he even admitted that he had died and had been to hell, which made Li Nian ask curiously.

"Calling people demons and monsters is really too much... I am just a pathetic being repeating the cycle of reincarnation." Teng Qi laughed at himself and asked, "What about you, the mage named Li Nian? You seem to be just an ordinary male high school student, but what kind of soul is hidden in your body? Have you never been to hell? Or is the hell on the mainland different from ours?"

"I haven't been there." Li Nian answered simply, "I'm not like you all, who seem to have some strange fate. I'm just an ordinary person among the countless people, and my origins are not worth mentioning."

Teng Qi sneered, thinking that Li Nian was hiding his origins, but he also heard that Li Nian admitted part of it. It was considered that they exchanged information.

Everyone here tacitly agreed that Li Nian was an old monster hidden in a young body, which was the only way to explain his powerful strength.

This guess is half correct.

Today, Li Nian was taken away by "God" after his death and sent to another world, where he was resurrected in another self.

But it seems that the normal process for people to go through hell and underworld after death and then be sent to reincarnation and rebirth is this. Li Nian also understands this, having heard many legends about it before.

Li Nian, who has now become a practitioner, has a deep understanding of another knowledge system and phenomenon based on the existence of spiritual energy. He has seen many Asuras, gods, Buddhas, demons and monsters.

At this time, in addition to a few exorcists, there was Yatoshin standing there. The little girl named Fei was also a spirit. Dalian Temple Zhidao seemed to have died once on his own initiative and turned into some kind of spiritual being. This Fujiki even said that he had been to hell and had the underworld. It seemed that he was a special existence who repeated reincarnation but had not forgotten the past.

In such a world with spiritual energy and the birth of many spirits, it is not surprising that hell and the underworld really exist. Or it might have existed in the world before myself, but I was just an ordinary person at that time and could not perceive it.

Maybe if I hadn't been taken away by that "god", I would have to go through this process again after I died? Li Nian was thinking.

"It's not just the hell below." Fujiki pointed to the top of his head: "Takamagahara in the sky also exists. It's where the high gods usually live."

When he spoke of the almighty gods, there seemed to be a rare hint of disgust and sarcasm in his voice.

Li Nian looked at Yatoshin: "So you live there too?"

Yatoshin shook his head: "Without a shrine, I have no place in Takamagahara."

After a moment's hesitation, he added, "But I want to have one."

Fujiki frowned: "It doesn't matter if I don't go to such a boring place."

Yato fell silent.

Dalian Temple Zhidao smiled and said, "The so-called gods are just spirits born from wishes. There is nothing special about them."

"The so-called special is originally not created by heaven, but determined by humans." Li Nian shook his head: "It is because someone set up the framework and dogma that the concept was defined, so the mind power had a direction, which pushed the spiritual energy to flow in the dark, was given meaning and took shape, and gods were born from it. From this perspective, they are indeed special."

Dalian Temple Zhidao thought about it carefully and said, "It's an interesting angle, but it's also because of this that gods are a very troublesome group of beings. If you want to borrow their power, you have to follow their rules. You can't mess around, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble."

"Laws cannot be formed without rules."

Suzuka listened carefully, and suddenly interrupted their discussion, saying, "Since Hell and Hades really exist, then my idea of ​​resurrecting someone is also possible, right?"

Chapter 445: The Soul of the Wrongly Dead Wants to See Retribution

They said that hell and Hades really existed, and it seemed that all souls would be taken to that place. Fujiki even claimed that he had been there and experienced reincarnation...

This makes Suzuka feel more and more hopeful.

She looked up from the information and looked at the so-called father whom she had been avoiding looking at, seeking the answer from this person, because Suzuka knew that Dalian Temple Zhidao was the person in the world who had done the most in-depth research on Taishan Fujun Festival... and on the soul.

Dalian Temple Zhidao also understood that he was seeking answers from himself, but he did not answer directly, but asked.

"Fujiki said he saw the well-preserved body of a boy in your room. Was that Rishi?"

This name, coming out of the man's mouth, instantly made Suzuka furious and she roared.

"What qualifications do you have to call me by that name!?"

So Li Nian knew that Rishi was the name of Suzuka's brother.

Suzuka seemed to want to avoid talking about this person and never mentioned that name to Li Nian. She obviously didn't intend to mention it in front of the man in front of her named Dalian Temple Zhidao... Even if that was the person she wanted to resurrect and a name that could not be avoided, she didn't want to mention it at all to this person here.

But now Dalian Temple Zhidao actually took the initiative to bring up his brother's matter, and called that name in a very intimate manner, as if he was acting like a father. Suzuka was instantly overwhelmed by anger and lost control for a while.

"Don't be so angry. I'm also sorry about Li Ya."

Dalian Temple Zhidao remained very calm, as if he could not see the hatred in his daughter's eyes.

Speaking of regret, Dalian Temple Zhidao's expression showed a bit of pity, but Li Nian, who saw the overly weak emotion in his eyes, knew that this person definitely did not show any affection for his son.

Suzuka knew this man better than anyone else and gritted her teeth.

"Your regret is only the failure of the experiment..."

She was undoubtedly right.

The man recalled something that happened too long ago. Thinking back to the experiment he had conducted, he remembered the data and information he had obtained at that time more clearly than the child's face. He said this with regret.

"Well, if the experiment was successful, Li Shi wouldn't have to die. It's such a shame that the precious materials were wasted so easily."

material? material!

Yes, to this man, his brother and himself were just materials for his experiments. They were precious only because of his talent for seeing ghosts.

“You…you…you…!”

Thick dark emotions surged into her brain, clouding her thinking. Suzuka couldn't control her expression again, and her pretty face instantly became extremely hideous.

——"What do you regard human life as?"

Before her, it was Li Nian who asked this question.

"Don't misunderstand me, Lord Li." Dalian Temple Zhidao replied with a polite smile: "Not everyone can be used as material for the curse experiment. You know, only precious people who are adaptable and have awakened the talent of seeing ghosts are good materials. I will only take such materials seriously."

Li Nian stared at Dalian Temple Zhidao for a long time.

Then he nodded and said, "Well, it seems that I didn't misunderstand anything."

He was very calm, as if he didn't feel anything.

Looking at Li Nian like that, Teng Qi's smile became brighter and brighter, and he said nonchalantly: "Oh, it seems that things have really become troublesome."

Li Nian's reaction also calmed Suzuka down.

It's not that she could ignore the shameless smile of the culprit who killed her brother in front of her, but she knew that someone would come to give her justice.

Dalian Temple Zhidao seemed to have noticed nothing and continued, "So, the one you want to revive is Li Shi, right? I see. Let's get back to the topic of reviving a person. Theoretically, it is a very simple matter. All you need to do is summon the soul and prepare the vessel."

"But that's the problem, right?" Li Nian also continued to chat calmly with Dalian Temple Zhidao: "How to summon the soul and what kind of vessels to prepare, this is the difficult task."

"Yes, first of all, it's a vessel. A body that can hold a soul is not so easy to find. Just like transplants of body tissues will have rejection reactions, this rejection reaction is even more serious when it comes to the soul. If it's a vessel with bad compatibility, it's probably difficult for the soul to squeeze in, let alone merge with it. In the final analysis, the best vessel for a soul is undoubtedly the original body. If the original body is destroyed, it will be very difficult to find another vessel. Finding a suitable living person is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Zhidao of Dalian Temple said without hesitation that he wanted to find a living person to serve as a container.

But what he said was true. The container of the soul, the living body, is not something that only living people have, right?

In the world, this situation is generally called "snatching away someone's body".
