Chapter 3 Evil Bewitched
Monday, March 20, from the lunar calendar, today is the day of the vernal equinox.
"As for the mid-spring month, the yang is in the east and the yin is in the west, it is called the vernal equinox. The vernal equinox is half of yin and yang, so day and night are even while cold and heat are even... a good day!" Standing in front of the window and blew a while, Lekang sighed at the rising sun, then walked towards the bathroom in his pajamas, planning to start a refreshing day after washing.
If we count the days when he woke up, it is now the seventh day he has arrived at Shibuya Psychic Research. After this week of life, he has been 100% sure that he has traveled nine years ago before he was born, and the place he traveled to was not China, but Tokyo Shibuya in Japan.
At the same time, he also learned what kind of company Shibuya Psychic Research is... Simply put, Shibuya Psychic Research is a company that studies paranormal phenomena and helps people who are troubled by paranormal phenomena to solve problems.
And now he is in such a mysterious company...working chores.
There is no way, he has no research on paranormal phenomena, and in terms of language, he can only talk to Lin Xingxu, who is also a Chinese... Yes! He knows some Cantonese, but he can't speak! Moreover, if Lin Xingxu speaks quickly, he may not be able to understand it.
This is also applicable in English and Japanese, and it is even more serious!
So, based on the above two points, all he can do is to do odd jobs in Shibuya Psychic Research and serve as a servant who serves tea, water and sweeps the floor.
When he arrived at the bathroom, his boss, Shibuya Ichi, was also washing his face. After noticing that he had arrived, he moved away from some positions.
"Good morning, Mr. Shibuya." It is necessary to say hello first when facing the boss, just like you need to say hello first when you meet a teacher... Although this boss is only seventeen years old now! He is two years younger than him!
"Good morning... There are still some problems with your pronunciation. I hope you can solve it in a short time, otherwise it will sound a little awkward." After hanging the towel aside, Shibuya Ichiya also looked up and down at Rakang, and smiled and said, "Are you still used to staying here?"
"It's okay, I don't have any habits or not..." Although Lekang does feel that it is sometimes very inconvenient after losing the two civilized weapons of computers and smartphones, it is useless now... In 1989, even if there are computers and smartphones, it is useless.
"So come on, I will find a way to solve the problem of the Copper Coin Sword with Lin."
"Really? Thank you!" His eyes lit up. After Lekang smiled and thanked Shibuya Ichiya, he touched his head and said, "I didn't expect that Psychic Research means supernatural research."
"I didn't expect it? What else do you think Psychic Research means?"
“Psychological Research…”
After a moment of silence, Shibuya Kazuya also said lightly: "psychic, generally speaking, soul, spirituality, supernatural, etc. I wonder why you listen to Psychological. These two words only have the first two syllables and sound a little similar, right?"
"Hey..." It's not that Rakang was embarrassed by Shibuya's words, but because Shibuya's words were too fast and he couldn't understand it!
"In the past few days, you memorize the dictionary and ask Lin for English knowledge." After slashing the corners of your mouth, Shibuya Kazuya finished speaking one word by one, and then rubbed his eyebrows: "Since you don't plan to return to China in a short period of time, there is no problem staying with me for work, but the premise is that we can communicate! If you can't even do daily conversations, what's the point of staying here?"
After saying that, he sighed and walked out of the bathroom.
In the bathroom, Lekang scratched his head embarrassedly... Since Shibuya Ichiha had already said one word by one, he could still understand such a simple word.
"It really needs to learn English well, otherwise it will be really hard if you can't even get a conversation."
After talking to himself, he washed himself and walked towards his room with his energy, intending to take out the English dictionary and memorize it well, and ask him for advice after Lin Xingxu finished his morning class.
But when he went back to the house, somehow he suddenly walked in another direction.
That is the miscellaneous room or storage room of Shibuya Psychic. It is the place where Shibuya Psychic. Research stores old information and some miscellaneous items. At the same time, Lekang's copper coin sword is also stored here at this moment, suppressing the person with talisman paper.
But when Lekang walked into the compartment room, he had no impression at all, and was still thinking about how to communicate with Shibuya and the others in English.
"My English foundation is not bad. I haven't passed the subject since I was a child. I also scored 110 points in the college entrance examination. As long as I communicate more, about one month should be enough for me to have a conversation with Mr. Shibuya... If I can still travel back, then my rapid English will be scary, right? Haha..."
Thinking happily, Le Kang had already walked to the copper coin sword with a talisman, and picked up the copper coin sword with a smile.
"In addition to English, Japanese will also improve rapidly, right? After all, this is Japan, and the environment is here. As long as I am a little more serious, I can learn Japanese well, and then I can be proficient in bilingualism..."
"Lekang!"
"Eh?" Le Kang, who was thinking about something pleasant, suddenly heard Lin Xingxu's roar and couldn't help but tremble all over... Anyone who was shouted when he was roaring when he was roaring, would be shocked. Moreover, Lin Xingxu's roar was so loud that it even made Le Kang's ears feel tingling.
"Put down the sword! Hurry!" Lin Xingxu shouted again, his tone full of tough orders.
But Le Kang was a little confused: "Sword? What kind of sword?"
After blinking, he felt that his right hand seemed to be holding something. When he lowered his head, he saw that his right hand was holding the copper coin sword forward and backward, aiming the tip of the sword at his heart!
When did I get it?! Why didn’t I have any impression of it?!
Le Kang's doubts suddenly emerged, and at the same time, he hurriedly let go of his hand and planned to throw the copper coin sword.
But when he wanted to let go of his fingers, he found that he could not control his hand, so he tried his best to let his fingers loosen a little!
"How could this happen?"
"Let!" Lin Xingxu did not answer Le Kang, but threw a talisman on Le Kang, then rushed over and kicked Le Kang's hand, kicked the copper coin sword away, then pulled Le Kang's collar and threw Le Kang out of the utility room.
"Bang...dangdang..." After being kicked away by the copper coin sword hit the wall, it fell to the ground, jumped twice, and returned to calm.
But Lin Xingxu did not relax at all, but stared at the Tong Coin Sword with sharp eyes for a moment, took out five pieces of talisman paper from his arms, threw four pieces into the four directions of the Tong Coin Sword, and finally posted the last one on the Tong Coin Sword, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he suddenly turned around and stared at Le Kang, who was sitting on the ground with his butt in a flat sand and geese: "Didn't I say not to enter this room?!"
"Hey..." Le Kang didn't know how to explain for a moment, so he could only smile bitterly: "I don't know why I ran into the debris room..."
Lin Xingxu frowned, but still stared at Le Kang coldly. After a while, he said, "Go back to your room first, I'll go find you later."
"Ah...well!" Nodded, Le Kang stood up quickly and limped towards his room.
Although Lin Xingxu's attitude cannot be said to be good, he can't care about these things now? If Lin Xingxu hadn't come over just now, would the copper coin sword pierce into his heart?
Although the Copper Coin Sword should not have a sharp sword edge, and the sword body made of thread cannot support the force of stabbing the flesh and blood, it has happened that he aimed the sword at himself inexplicably. So how strange it would be to stab his skin and blood?
"What happened?" When Lekang limped back to the house, Shibuya Ichi walked out with a gloomy face. After seeing Lekang's embarrassed posture, he frowned and stepped forward to support Lekang: "What's going on?"
From Le Kang taking the sword to stab himself to Lin Xingxu saving Le Kang, everything was solved almost within one minute. Although Shibuya Ichiya came out in time, he still missed the most critical moment, so he was not very clear about what happened.
After searching through my brain for English words and sentence patterns, Le Kang pointed at himself and said, "I was hypnotized and went to get a sword. Mr. Lin saved me. Let me go back to the room."
Although Lekang said it very ambiguously and the application of grammar and vocabulary is also a bit problematic, it is not a big problem for Shibuya Ichiya. I immediately understood what Lekang meant.
After frowning slightly for a while, he said, "Let's go back to your room first."
After saying that, he helped Lekang walk towards Lekang's room.
In the utility room, Lin Xingxu stared at the copper coin sword on the ground, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
At this moment, the sword spikes of the copper coin sword have all turned black, and only the part that is wrapped around the sword body is still red.
"Can a single talisman not help you? How about so many talismans?"
While he was murmuring, he walked to the shelf in the corner of the utility room, opened a vermilion wooden box, took out a large amount of talisman paper, and pasted it in every corner of the storage room.
After doing all this, he looked at the copper coin sword that was silent on the ground, gritted his teeth, left the utility room, and walked towards Lekang's room.
In Lekang's room, Lekang sat by the bed, frowned, with a look of distress and confusion, while Shibuya Ichiya was standing by the window, with his fingers knocking on the windowsill.
After seeing Lin Xingxu come in, Shibuya Ichi immediately said, "What happened?"
"The evil energy of the copper coin sword has increased, breaking through the suppression of the talisman." After briefly explaining the reason for the incident, Lin Xingxu looked at Le Kang: "Le Kang, tell me what happened when you went to the utility room."
"Uh... nothing happened..." After talking to Lin Xingxu about Shibuya Ichiya's conversation with him and what he thought when he returned to the house, Le Kang scratched his head and said, "I really have no impression of why I went back to the debris room to get the copper coin sword!"
Lin Xingxu nodded and said, "According to what you said, your situation can be said to be a manifestation of being bewitched by the Copper Coin Sword."
"Slut?"
"Some evil things will deceive people or other lives to dedicate themselves to them. Although the copper coin sword is a treasure for Taoist exorcising evil spirits and demons, this copper coin sword has been polluted by powerful evil spirits, so it can be regarded as one of the evil spirits... Alas..." As he said, a sad expression appeared on Lin Xingxu's face, and then disappeared immediately, and continued: "Although I have resealed it now and have set up a barrier, you should still pay attention in the short term. If something goes wrong, look for me or Na Lu immediately."
Naru is a nickname or nickname of Shibuya Kazuya.
"Okay!" Le Kang nodded immediately, then frowned slightly and said, "But... why did it come to me?"
After raising his eyebrows, Lin Xingxu said lightly: "First, you have never practiced and are mentally distracted, and you are most likely to be attracted. Second, didn't you say that you have been cut by sword spikes? The sword spikes are the root of evil spirits. I think the evil spirit has remembered your taste, and it also left a little of its evil spirit in your body. It's not much, but once it wants to gather blood food, you will be attracted to send it to your door."
"So...is there a solution? For example, destroying the copper coin sword or something!" Le Kang asked impatiently.
After all, this is related to his life safety, how could he not be impatient?
"This..." After pondering for a moment, Lin Xingxu shook his head and said, "You can't destroy the Copper Coin Sword. The evil energy on the Copper Coin Sword is very evil. Now it is completely suppressed by the Copper Coin Sword's exorcism effect. At most, my seal only serves to assist in strengthening the Copper Coin Sword's exorcism effect. If the Copper Coin Sword is destroyed and the evil energy spreads out, then not only you, but also me and Naru, and even Shibuya, may suffer a very great danger."
"How is that..." After hearing Lin Xingxu's words, Le Kang felt powerless inside, and at the same time, a feeling of despair slowly emerged.
Although he already knew that the Copper Coin Sword was very dangerous, he did not expect it to be so dangerous.
Looking at the depressed Le Kang, Lin Xingxu was silent for a while and said lightly: "There are two ways to solve your problem. One is that you can also practice to condense your energy and spirit and not be moved by external objects. This is the most fundamental method, but it will be difficult to work in a short period of time. The other is that I will make an amulet for you, which will prevent you from being threatened by evil spirits. This method works quickly, but I cannot guarantee 100% safety. After all, the evil spirit of the copper coin sword is very weird. Even if I seal it, it is growing continuously. It cannot guarantee whether it will bypass the function of the amulet and deceive you into it again. In this regard, I will contact my seniors to see if there is a better way. After all, I am good at summoning souls and ghosts. Although I have some knowledge of talisman art, it is not what I am good at."
Lin Xingxu's words made his mood fall to a low point, Le Kang instantly found hope. After biting his lip, he felt a little embarrassed, but looked at Lin Xingxu with a pleading voice and said, "Then... please give me a protective body, and then... can you teach me to practice?"
To be honest, Le Kang knew very well that his current request was shameless.
It’s okay to make amulets. Although he has no money to pay for it for the time being, he works here and will give Lin Xingxu the reward in the future. This is also a business. But the method of cultivation is not something that can be bought with money... At least, it will definitely not be bought with the little money that Le Kang earns from working. These are all secret treasures left by his predecessors!
But he had to be so shameless... He wanted to live!
Away from the copper coin sword?
He did think about this method, but when he thought of his inexplicable arrival in Japan of this era, is it really useful to avoid it from afar?
Will it be more dangerous than leaving professionals like Lin Xingxu?
No one can explain this clearly, so no one can guarantee it. Since that is the case, there is no suspense between choosing to leave and choosing to stay... It is very dangerous to put yourself in the unknown where you know nothing. Staying here will have at least some security guarantee, and leaving will have no security guarantee at all!
After hearing Le Kang's words, Lin Xingxu frowned slightly, but he was not unable to understand Le Kang's mood.
After pondering for a while, he sighed in Lekang's praying eyes: "You and I are also fellow villagers... It is not impossible to teach you the method of practice, but I can only teach you the basic qigong method. Don't count on anything else. Moreover, qigong is of great help to concentrate and concentrate, and it should be enough for you."
"Really! Thank you!"
