I’ll Quit Being a God Chapter 21: Forbidden Techniques and Hidden Danger

The origin time of the slippery ghost is not easy to verify.

However, the origins of Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji are relatively easy to find out. Books such as "Ogakusako" record that they were the leaders of the ghost clan during the Heian period and the villains in Minamoto Yorimitsu's legend.

Converted to about 990 AD, more than a thousand years ago, this is still the time when the name was abandoned, and the actual existence time must be much longer.

Let’s not talk about existences that are a thousand and hundreds of years old. Japan has this—no, it’s not Japan.

This is a Chinese restaurant. Could it be that this is a flower gardener who came here in the early years and finally took root here.

Because I am not a local, I do not want to mention my name.

Don't say it, it's really possible.

The look he looked at the shop owner also had a natural intimacy.

"You just said that I have a special constitution because I inherited it from my mother?"

"There is nothing special about her." The shopkeeper shook his head, "Although you can eat spicy food after staying in the store for a long time, it is not a matter of physical fitness. However, your physical fitness does have something to do with her - Guan family boy, Answer me truthfully, have you practiced something you shouldn't have practiced?"

"Shouldn't you practice? Garuda King Sword?"

The reason for this answer is because of the special attitude of Kagura Mangame and Yagami Hayate towards this move.

"That's nothing that shouldn't be practiced. It's just that people who spread the sword in modern times are eager for quick success and self-righteousness."

The shopkeeper said disapprovingly.

"I probably know the answer. The Guan family is an Onmyoji family, but you have followed the path of swordsmanship, and your aura is so dim..."

"You mean... that forbidden technique?" Guan Junyan finally realized, although it was not practiced by him, but by the former master.

"As expected." The shopkeeper nodded, a smile appearing on his lips.

"That forbidden technique——"

"——I gave it to Mihe as a wedding gift to her."

Guan Junyan's expression instantly became weird.

Wedding gift...gifting forbidden magic? What kind of weird logic is this.

Do you always express your dissatisfaction by not being optimistic about the marriage between cheap parents?

No wonder Guan Junyan thinks too much. Wedding gifts are all about giving good luck. Burning your soul at the expense of it is not a good meaning no matter how you think about it.

"What's that look in your eyes?" The shop owner glanced at Guan Junyan, "Although I do not like Guan Taiyi and think he is not worthy of Mihe, but I will not do such boring things. On the contrary, in two years When they came here to eat before, I even advised them not to worry about those meaningless fights, because they would get themselves involved, and the result...sigh."

In other words, the shop owner had foreseen the fate of Cheap Mom and Dad two years ago and had given him a warning, but the two of them didn't heed it for some unknown reason.

It is said that Cheap Mom has been working here for four years, so it is impossible that she does not know the importance of the shop owner. Her words are most likely to be more accurate than Kagura Mangui's prophecy.

If you don’t listen to this, are you so stubborn that you believe you can change your fate against the odds, or have you already accepted your ending, or is there something else you’re hiding?

Since there was too little information about the cheap parents, Guan Junyan could not make any inferences.

Furthermore, he is now in the position of being chased and unable to return to Okutama, so he may not be able to care about it.

So Guan decided to remain silent and not speak.

The shop owner didn’t mention it much and changed the subject: “What do you think about the access control technique?”

"It's very dangerous." Burning the soul, how can it not be dangerous?

"What else?"

"Very strong." After beating Tianjing to death and getting a body that is not much worse than Kagura Mio, who has practiced kendo since childhood, how can it not be stronger?

"Don't you have any other feelings?"

"Uh, no."

Before leaving the Guan family, Guan Junyan had already read through all the books at home - looking through the catalogue, to determine whether they were of any use to him.

Almost all the inheritance of the Guan family is understood, except for the key to soul penetration, the forbidden technique mentioned in the last letter.

Maybe it was hidden in a secret place by the original owner, but he didn't ask any questions about this matter at all. He could only hide his doubts in his heart and pretend to be dumbfounded - oh, he wasn't pretending, he was really dumbfounded.

The store owner's unfailing calmness finally broke: "What a beautiful child, just as slow as ever."

"Is there another mystery behind the forbidden technique?" Guan Junyan asked tentatively.

"Of course." The shopkeeper snorted, "Although this kid Meihe is from an average background and has no talent, she has always been diligent and hard-working when working here and has never been lazy. How could I treat her badly?"

"Please give me some advice from the shopkeeper." Guan Junyan leaned forward, as if he was asking for advice humbly.

However, the shop owner didn't take his advice at all, and replied coldly: "Think about it for yourself. Meihe is Meihe, and you are you. The gift given to her is to repay her efforts, and leaving you alone is out of curiosity for Meihe's child. Those three dishes are an affirmation of your filial piety as a human son. I don’t owe Meihe anything, and I don’t owe you anything, do you understand?”

Why did you say something nice and suddenly fall out?

With such a moody personality, no wonder those big demon kings are afraid of him.

I cursed in my heart, but had to keep a smile on my face.

"What you are saying is that you also know that I inherited this aspect from my mother. You don't want to talk about forbidden arts. Can I ask some other things?"

"Ask first." I have the final say whether you answer or not.

"Those three dishes...do they also have a mystery? Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com" Ibaraki Doji dipped some sauce and started to set fire to it.

"This is still a question of forbidden techniques..."

The shop owner glanced at Guan Junyan impatiently, and sighed helplessly as he looked at his hard-working smile and cautious attitude while suppressing all emotions.

"Forget it, since you are willing to kill your enemies without hesitation, I will tell you. There is indeed another mystery to that dish, in order to solve the hidden dangers left by the forbidden technique."

"Hidden danger?" Guan Junyan's heart skipped a beat. Does this thing have any side effects?

"Have you ever felt that your body occasionally hurts and your movements are slow, as if it is rusty?"

"Yes." The most obvious feeling was the moment I just traveled through time.

"Have you ever felt that it would be easier to calm down at Yingcai Academy than at home?"

"This... seems to be the case."

Not to mention not paying attention, Guan Junyan felt that it was indeed a point.

Reading at school is indeed more efficient than at home, regardless of whether there is a system bonus or not.

The home here is not only the current apartment, but also the former Guan family, including the Guan family's large library whose environment is no worse than the library.

This can no longer be explained by atmosphere.

"When you first saw Baishou, did you have the urge to behead her?"

Baishou, Baitou, should be the name of the hair-eating ghost.

Guan Junyan himself was fine, but Yingying's reaction was very violent, slashing, slashing, slashing.

Shikigami are spiritually connected to their masters and will influence each other. If that is not Sakura’s demon-breaking instinct, but a reflection of Guan Junyan’s impulse——

"It seems there is."

They are all details that are not easy to notice, and you don’t think much about them when you notice them. But when the shop owner strings them together, it is obviously not that simple.

"You mean these are hidden dangers——?"
