Zen Temple Master
The two people in the corridor were sitting at a distance not too far from each other, and the cake plate placed in the middle seemed out of place.
The squirming creature raised its head, looked at the black-haired boy with a strange expression, then opened its mouth and swallowed the plate bit by bit into its stomach.
As if it had sensed that the boy disliked it, the low-level cursed spirit squirmed and hid under another person's sleeve.
Both of them looked away quietly, and no one spoke first. At this time, Fushiguro Megumi was also very regretful. Why did he come over here for no reason?
He and the long-black-haired man beside him have a special connection, not because of the so-called blood relationship, but because of another more mysterious existence.
Megumi Fushiguro couldn't explain that feeling, but he also couldn't ask.
Zenin Hui is not good at caring about other people's emotions, but he can understand the thoughts of people around him without too much speculation.
After all, they are "the same person".
"If you have any questions about the technique, you can ask me." As a teacher who is about to take up a job, this is a very reasonable start.
The black-haired man stood up, and his shadow on the floor was infinitely stretched.
Fushiguro Megumi hummed, then breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the figure walk away.
After observing the behavior of another teacher, Gojo Satoru, Zenin Kei determined the value of having no reference.
Although there is one more teacher, the lifestyle of the high school students has not changed. After the exchange meeting, several people have been recommended and are about to become first-class magicians.
After the initial assessment, Zenin Hui was rated as special as expected.
As the level increases, the corresponding tasks increase. Students in technical colleges no longer work in groups of three, but try to learn from their seniors.
As two people using the same technique, they were logically placed together.
As a special-class, Zenin Kei's missions are not much less than Gojo Satoru who often goes out. However, it seems that he is afraid of something, and most of his missions are only in the Tokyo area, so he does not need to run around.
Looking at the face that looked like her own, she felt awkward saying the word "teacher". Fushiguro Megumi, holding the map, sighed silently, and after receiving a signal from her eyes, she lowered her head and ticked on the paper.
Too easy.
He only needed to gather good information and then follow the person in front of him to the mission location. After that, neither of them needed to take any action, as the summoned shikigami would naturally resolve most of the cursed spirits.
At this time, in order to gain experience, Fushiguro Megumi will control the shikigami, learn the methods of the people around him, and let the shikigami search everywhere.
The huge black jade dog was squatting quietly. It was allowed out because ordinary people could not see it. Fushiguro Megumi observed the red curse pattern on its head and confirmed that it was a black jade dog.
His two jade dogs have merged into one, and although their power has not been lost, he still feels pity when he thinks about it. After all, the jade dogs are the original shikigami that accompanied him and can be used without training.
The black jade dog stared at one direction intently, its owner was talking to someone else. But after sitting for a while, it turned its eyes and looked at the boy who had been staring at it.
Megumi Fushiguro touched her nose and was about to divert her attention when she saw the previously motionless jade dog secretly wagging its tail.
The boy looked at the tail swaying slightly with some hesitation, but still with the secret expectation in his eyes, he slowly reached out and touched the hair on its front paws.
It's too high, Fushiguro Megumi thought. If I want to touch its head, I'll have to stand on tiptoe.
But the Black Jade Dog seemed to be looking forward to it.
The boy was hesitating when he was caught off guard by a pair of eyes. The owner of the eyes had just hung up the phone and was looking at the man and the dog standing close to him with a calm expression.
The Black Jade Dog returned to its serious look, and at the signal of its owner, it turned into a shadow again.
While waiting for Ijichi to pick them up, the two stood in front of the road sign, one in front of the other. Because of their similar looks, they attracted many glances from passers-by.
Her long black hair was tied up and hidden in a wide collar. There was no uniform dress code for teachers in technical colleges, so Zenin Hui's requirements were also different.
For example, a high collar that can cover half of the face by lowering the chin, a hunting-style design, and wide sleeves can hide the unpleasant 005.
After some hesitation, Fushiguro Megumi finally expressed his doubts: "Where is that... white jade dog? I don't think I've ever seen it before."
During this period of time, the shikigami that Zenin Kei summoned the most was the Jade Dog, but every time it was the Black Jade Dog.
After a moment's hesitation, Zenin Kei explained seriously, "Because white is very obvious and gets dirty easily."
Fushiguro Megumi showed a bewildered expression. The jade dog was a shikigami, so naturally it did not need to be cleaned as much as ordinary pets.
"From the looks of it, it gets dirty very easily." Zenin Kei added expressionlessly.
The strange reasons increased.
However, this topic eased the tense atmosphere. After letting out a sigh, Fushiguro Megumi tried to strike up a conversation: "In the next few days, Gojo-sensei has arranged for us to go to Kyoto Technical High School, so we may not be able to travel together."
Zenin Hui nodded, looked at the passing traffic and replied, "Okay."
With his eyes lost in thought, he asked himself: "I just need to be a good teacher, right? What are the standards for completing the task?"
005's voice was coming and going. He held onto the soft body and looked out through the gap in her sleeves: "I don't know. You should learn how to be a teacher first."
If students just keep people around and solve problems easily, they won't learn anything.
After being reminded, Zenin Kei also realized this. He really didn't know how to be a teacher, let alone a good teacher.
But he still cared about the mission and the script.
The script mentioned that he needed to be a qualified villain and become a whetstone for Rokugan, and only leave after Rokugan becomes "invincible".
But that was for the young Gojo Satoru, not the Gojo Satoru who is now the "strongest" head of the Gojo family. If we look at it this way, the plot only has one last part left -
〖Does it mean that I have to die at the hands of Gojo Satoru, as if it is destined?〗
005's mood became complicated. He didn't say anything, so why did this guy associate it with something strange?
"Hey, why are you in such a hurry? Just treat it as a vacation." 005 said, "Besides, this world is not the one we should go to. You just need to wait patiently."
Shika Ninja lowered his head, holding 005's neck with one hand, and with the motion of lowering his head, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The final fate of the villain is to die at the hands of the protagonist, isn't it?"
But if you know the script in advance, you can avoid such a plot. He wants to know the more specific ending, not to be a qualified villain and follow the plot.
He just wanted to give himself time to plan ahead.
005 felt a chill, but before he could say anything, a car stopped in front of them.
Fushiguro Megumi was looking down at her phone, and when she saw a car pull up, she thought it was Ijichi who was coming to pick someone up. But when she looked up and saw the window rolling down, she swallowed the words she was about to say.
The window of the back seat rolled down, revealing a slightly old but energetic face. The man was wearing a kimono, but he didn't put it on properly. Instead, he opened the collar to expose most of his chest.
"Mr. Naobito." Zenin Kei's reaction was very calm. When the young man beside him seemed to be hesitant to speak, he spoke in a natural manner.
Zenin Naohito squinted his eyes and looked them up and down, then invited them, "Would you like to sit with us?"
Fushiguro Megumi frowned, but before he could speak, the person in front of him raised his hand and said, "You go back first, Fushiguro."
Zenin Kei knew that the boy didn't like to have any contact with the Zenin family, but his surname was Zenin, not Fushiguro, so there was naturally no reason for him to avoid him.
Seeing the person who got into the car smoothly, Zenin Naohito looked a little surprised. Looking at Fushiguro Megumi who was still standing on the roadside, he nodded slightly and closed the window.
The car started slowly, the noisy sounds outside were blocked out, and it was so quiet inside the car that only the sound of breathing could be heard.
The driver did not speak, and was a qualified tool. The black-haired young man also had no intention of speaking, so Zenin Naobi took the initiative to find a topic.
"Do you want to book a hotel or teahouse?" Zenin Naohito looked at the expressions of the people around him, and the driver also tilted his head to listen carefully to the answer.
Zenin Hui just looked out the window. He raised his hand calmly and said, "No need. Let's go back to Zenin's house."
This answer was somewhat surprising. Zenin Naohito laughed out loud and nodded with satisfaction.
"I feel sorry that Megumi Fushiguro should have been kept in the Zenin family. I have always wondered what would happen now if he had not been sold to Gojo Satoru for 1 billion." Zenin Naohito said as he stroked his beard.
“But now I know for sure.”
If Fushiguro Megumi had not been sold to Gojo Satoru, he would have been a strong man like the people around him, who regarded the Zenin family as his own and had the strength to compete with the Rokugan.
Thinking of this, Zenin Naohito felt a little regretful. But now that a better choice was presented to him, he would not let it go easily.
His narrowed eyes were full of calculations of assessing the situation, but Zenin Kei pretended not to understand the hidden meaning. He said calmly: "My last name is not Fushiguro, but Zenin."
Although it was not stated explicitly, communication between smart people was easy. Zenin Naohito laughed, patted his knees and said "good" several times.
"Besides, my current worth should be more than 10 billion." Zenin Hui supported his chin with one hand and looked through the rearview mirror to meet the driver's gaze.
The man subconsciously averted his gaze, and when he came to his senses, his head was covered in sweat.
That was the aura of a strong man, and the difference was obvious at a glance.
"That's natural." Zenin Naohito said directly, "If you are willing, you can get more."
Unlike Fushiguro Megumi who is still in the training stage, that boy has potential, but he is still in the training stage. Moreover, he has been raised by Gojo Satoru since he was a child, and his heart has long been estranged from the Zenin family.
As for the person next to him, whether in terms of value or strength, he can bring far more to the Zenin family than a teenager.
In the past, Zenin Naohito only hoped that Fushiguro Megumi, who was of the Zenin family's bloodline, could establish a good relationship with the Rokugan while stabilizing the relationship between Zenin and the Gojo family.
But now there is no need to be so cautious, as they already have someone strong enough to rival Rokugan.
As the car drove into the Zenin family's mansion, the two people who were originally talking gradually stopped talking.
The Chanyuan's house is very large, with three floors inside and three floors outside. The only people who can enter the inner area are the Chanyuan people and their subordinates who take care of them.
There is a strong sense of separation between this place and the outside world, as if we are still in an ancient feudal family.
