Chapter 285: The Battle of the Ghost Lord
"This is just a misunderstanding..." Lin Zhen said casually.
After showing his strength, the other party's attitude changed completely, which made Lin Zhen feel very boring, and he couldn't even explain his feelings carefully.
This is the case with Japanese people. The more polite you are to them, they will kick their noses in your face. Only if your fist is big enough, will they listen to you seriously. This principle also applies to those in the West.
.
Lin Zhen couldn't help but lament that even if he is separated from normal society, this "diplomatic attitude" still applies.
At this time, the "mountain boy" who had been chased by Lin Zhen before quickly came under the two of them, raised his head and chirped at Abe Akihiko.
Abe Akihiko nodded slightly, and then whispered to the "mountain boy": "I understand, as long as you are not injured, please step back..."
After that, he looked at Lin Zhen and said, "Let's talk somewhere else."
Even if he didn't say anything, Lin Zhen had this intention and nodded immediately.
"Come with me." Abe Akihiko said with a smile, then turned around to lead the way.
At this time, the fishermen who had been observing the movements here from a distance saw that Abe Akihiko seemed to be planning to leave. Several of them bravely ran over tremblingly. An old man in his fifties or sixties shouted loudly
He said: "Lord Akihiko, are you leaving? Have you dealt with the thing that attacked us?"
Abe Akihiko stopped and was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that these ordinary fishermen could not see Lin Zhen's existence at all.
Then, he turned to look down at the fishermen and said in a kind tone: "Mr. Village Chief, I think this is just a misunderstanding. I'm really sorry for causing you trouble. I will let the mountain boy help you renovate your house."
The village chief nodded first: "So it was a misunderstanding..."
Then he shook his head quickly: "No, no, no, how can I let Master Shantong work hard!"
Abe Akihiko shook his head and smiled: "It doesn't matter, just give it some rice balls to eat."
Abe Akihiko's attitude towards these fishermen made Lin Zhen feel a little fond of him.
Lin Zhen knew very well that to Abe Akihiko, these fishermen were just like ants, but his attitude towards these people, far from being condescending, was actually very easy-going, which showed that his character was not bad.
After talking to the village chief, Abe Akihiko looked at Lin Zhen, bowed slightly, and said, "Sorry for keeping you waiting."
Lin Zhen said calmly: "It's nothing."
Abe Akihiko took Lin Zhen deep into the dense forest and climbed all the way to the top of the mountain.
In the wind-controlling state, climbing is not difficult for Lin Zhen.
Under the leadership of Abe Akihiko, they quickly arrived at a small courtyard on the top of the mountain.
Lin Zhen looked around and saw that this was a very ordinary small courtyard. Deep in the courtyard, there was a wooden house with a strong local style.
Abe Akihiko smiled and invited Lin Zhen into the house: "It's a humble house. Please don't dislike it, sir."
Lin Zhen didn't show any pretense. After changing his shoes, he walked directly into the hut.
The furnishings in the hut were very neat. Abe Akihiko introduced Lin Zhen into the living room, motioned Lin Zhen to sit down, and said: "Sir, please wait a moment, I will prepare tea."
Lin Zhen nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Since others don't bother you, why should you be polite? Besides, we may have to chat for a long time, so it would be good to have some tea to soothe your throat.
Lin Zhen sat down on the floor at the low table, while Abe Akihiko left.
After a while, Abe Akihiko returned to the living room carrying a carved wooden tray.
On the tray, there are a pair of teacups and a teapot.
The tray itself is also of great artistic value.
The tray was carved from mahogany, with hollow patterns on it. Lin Zhen could distinguish plum blossoms and orchids at a glance.
Abe Akihiko placed the tray on the low table, and then poured a cup of tea for himself and Lin Zhen each with skill.
When the light brown tea flowed out of the spout, Lin Zhen smelled a refreshing fragrance.
"Good tea!" Lin Zhen exclaimed casually.
Abe Akihiko smiled: "This is an oolong tea species that my father brought back from China and was improved and cultivated by him. I think it will suit your taste."
The tea was still steaming, but Lin Zhen was not in a hurry to drink it.
After pouring the tea, Abe Akihiko knelt down opposite Lin Zhen, put his hands on his legs, and said: "Since the onmyoji was abolished, the onmyojis have been scattered everywhere..."
"After my father left, I built this hut here to be with the shikigami of plants and trees, and my life was quite leisurely."
"Mr. Lin, how did you get here?"
Lin Zhen slowly took off the hood of his cloak, sighed, and briefly told his story. Of course, he omitted the experience of being imprisoned by the "Mrs. in the Forest"...
Abe Akihiko listened with great interest, and until Lin Zhen finished speaking, he seemed to still have more to say.
"You really have a legendary experience... With all due respect, I envy you." Abe Akihiko said.
"My father is not interested in Onmyoji. He likes tea ceremony very much... When my grandfather taught me Onmyoji, he once said that the origin of our Onmyoji is the Onmyoji family in China."
"So strictly speaking, we should be considered half of the same sect."
"This land has not been peaceful recently. Many ghosts and gods that have disappeared for a long time have come out to cause trouble. But to me, this is not a bad thing..."
"Ever since I learned Onmyojitsu, I have always dreamed of being able to fight ghosts and gods... Haha, it's very childish, isn't it..." Abe Akihiko laughed at himself.
Lin Zhen sighed and did not comment on Abe Akihiko's thoughts, but he did care about Abe Akihiko's last sentence.
The sudden appearance of those ghosts and gods who disappeared may have something to do with Luo Yin's self-destruction of the "Yin Yang Seal"...
"Mr. Akihiko, it's nice to meet you, but now I just want to return to China as soon as possible. The situation there is not optimistic..." Lin Zhen said bluntly.
Abe Akihiko was silent for a moment and said: "In your current condition, it shouldn't be a problem to secretly take a plane back to China... I can point you in the direction..."
"Actually, I'm curious as to why you are in this state?"
After all, Abe Akihiko couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.
Lin Zhen sighed and said: "Hey... it's a long story. In short, you can understand that this is a curse. I can only exist in this way for the time being..."
