Zongman: I accidentally picked up a JK

[It seems that Miss Kujo's name has been misspelled since some time ago... Never mind, just be willful. ]

As we all know, after the Taika Reform, Japan has been learning from the Tang Dynasty.

Although rebellious in modern times, the reborn Tang Dynasty just laughed it off for its own children, and Japan carried out the Taika Reform 2.0.

The current Tang Dynasty retains the title of nobility, so Japan also follows suit and worships the aristocracy.

The upper class are said to be powerful families, but the real classification should be "power, wealth, and nobility". For example, Yukinoshita is powerful, while Kujo is rich.

As the second in command of the Five Regiments family, one can imagine how popular his eldest daughter, Marisa, is in the University of Tokyo, and this admiration is universal.

"You don't actually bring a lunch box prepared by a five-star chef at home, and you have your own exclusive dining room at the University of the East."

Mari's outfit at school was not casual wear, but an elegant black dress that reached her ankles.

"Another one of those big-girl stereotypes you got from the second dimension?"

"Yes."

Manari thought to herself that it was indeed so.

"The Wushe Family is not yet at the point where they can ignore public opinion. They are not the Tang Family of the Tang Dynasty."

"They really don't look like nobles."

Mingyou couldn't remember whether this "Tang" family existed in the history of his previous life. As for the people around Li Shimin, Mingyou only remembered people like Li Jing and Cheng Yaojin.

The Tang family's title is "Duke", the highest title, one step away from being a king of a different surname. But in reality, their influence far exceeds that of a king or a prince. Because every time the Tang Dynasty turned around, it was inseparable from the participation of the descendants of the Tang Kingdom.

It is precisely because of their outstanding achievements that they are different from any other nobles, and they do not need to rely on etiquette to show themselves. Compared with Kujo or Konoe, they are much freer and more relaxed.

Back to reality, today is Mingyou's first day of school. Zhenli naturally wants to meet Mingyou.

Lunch break was a good choice. The teaching building where she took classes was close to the cafeteria, so she waited for him there.

The two of them were walking normally on the campus road, but in the eyes of others it was not normal.

"A young lady who has never been close to anyone actually lets a commoner walk side by side with her?"

It’s not clear whether other people think this way, but this is a strange idea in Zhenli’s mind.

"Are there any other people from the She family in our school?" Ming You had never seen anyone from other families.

"Yes. The third son of the Konoe family, the second daughter of the Takashi family. The eldest son of the Nijo family and the eldest daughter of the Ichijo family."

"Er Tiao... Yi Tiao... Do these two families play mahjong?" Ming You was from the Tang Dynasty after all, so his mind would automatically translate into Chinese. In his opinion, these two families had the same surname as Jiu Tiao, which was very down-to-earth.

"When the Ichijo and Nijo families play mahjong, they consider it an honor to win a hand, especially if it is a matching hand."

"… Is it the same in your family? No, I asked."

There was no way this was the first time Mingyou had complained about something like this.

Marisa glanced at Mingyou and ignored his topic, continuing to introduce the members of the Five Photographers family to Mingyou, all the way to the entrance of the Tokyo University cafeteria.

"So they each have one, right? Are you the only one, Mari, who has lived in Tokyo since high school?"

"Yes. Every family and every generation will have a child come to study at the University of Tokyo. I actually passed the exam and took up a place."

"Huh?" Mingyou was surprised when he heard this. "Exemption from the exam?"

"Yes." Mari didn't look concerned.

"Is this something you can tell me?"

"Everyone in Japan knows about these things, but they just don't bring them up."

"No wonder, I am an outsider."

Mingyou did not comment on whether the descendants of nobles should enjoy special rights. There is no objection to what is acceptable, and objection to what is not agreed upon is unlikely to be useful.

At least at this moment, Mingyou could get an expensive lunch, so he now agreed that the eldest daughter of the Kujo family, Kujo Mari, had the privilege.

"Thank you, Mari-senpai!"

"I felt that this was the only time you called me senior, and sure enough."

"Food is the first necessity of the people. If you provide me with food, you are the first necessity."

Mingyou felt no shame and even ordered another dessert after finishing one portion.

Zhenli still treated everyone, but she felt a little strange when she saw that the style of the snacks did not seem to suit Mingyou, a boy.

"For the girl in your family?"

It's true that they are friends, but using her money to treat others to snacks, and in front of her...

"Maybe this is okay between friends?" Manari didn't know if her misunderstanding was wrong.

"Yeah." Ming You admitted, and then took out two small rectangular pieces of strange black paper from his trouser pocket.

"Talisman?" Zhenli recognized it at a glance. It was a classic exorcism tool of the Taoist sect of the Tang Dynasty.

"Well, I drew them before, but never used them." Mingyou put two talismans in front of Zhenli, "One is for Qingxin, and the other is for Leifa. They are not very useful to me."

Clearing the mind helps with cultivation, and thunder magic helps with exorcism. Both are very useful talismans for exorcists.

The key point is that this world is not like the various natural treasures in literary and film works. The exorcist himself is the spiritual being. If you want to write talismans, you can only rely on your own blood. Even the talisman paper must be soaked in blood and then dried.

Therefore, the talisman paper in this world is all black after the blood has dried, and the talisman is written with blood. If you don't look carefully, it is difficult to see the talisman on it. Not only Taoism, but other factions also have their own paths, and the methods are similar, all using blood.

The key is that not every exorcist is qualified. Since exorcists are not divided into different levels like in the game, there is still no clear standard for the strength of the spiritual objects they can create. Those who are qualified do not want to bleed for nothing, which leads to any spiritual object being in short supply in the exorcist world.

"So Mingyou asked me to treat you just to give me this."

Zhenli understood Mingyou's thoughts. Her expression remained unchanged, and she just said to Mingyou:

"I'll have people deliver snacks to your house every day from now on."

I didn’t expect Mingyou to refuse.

"Don't. When friends help each other, we can't always think about equal value. You treat me to a meal and a snack, and I give you two talismans. Next time I give you a piece of candy, and you give me a room. This is how friends should get along. It doesn't mean that we should pursue equality every time. That's a transaction."

The reason why Mingyou gave the talisman to Manari was because from today onwards he would not participate in every exorcism, especially the time-consuming levels above Level B.

Before Mari finds her next partner, it's her duty as a friend to give her more ability to protect herself.

I believe that Mari is smart enough to think of this. As expected, she was silent for a while.

“What kind of house do you want?”

"..." Mingyou didn't know how to answer.

"I haven't given you candy yet." Mingyou could only say, "I'll tell you when I think about it."

"The young lady is quite cute at this time."

Knowing that it was pointless to insist, Zhenli picked up the talisman and prepared to accept it. She would talk about the reward later.

She wanted to take a look at the runes on it, but when she did, she was shocked.

Zhenli has learned a lot of theoretical knowledge. In the Taoism of the Tang Dynasty, the talisman is composed of the talisman head, the main talisman god, the talisman belly, the talisman foot, and the talisman heart. It looks complicated and difficult to understand, mysterious and profound.

But these two photos of Mingyou...

It turns out that Manari's face is getting darker.

"So he's just here to eat for free!"
