Chapter 539: A Plate of Loose Sand

Jade's adaptability to environmental changes is better than Lu Xiao imagined, and her learning ability is also very strong.

When I left for the venue in the afternoon, Tamamo was already proficient in playing with her smartphone.

The semi-spiritual state of Yuzao could not be seen by ordinary people, but in order to prevent the onmyoji attending the meeting from discovering her traces, Lu Xiao let her turn into a pocket-sized four-tailed little fox and shrink into Yongzhen's arms.

The fluffy touch of the warm ocean made Yongzhen's face full of happy smiles, and Tamamo hid in Yongzhen's wide onmyoji hunting suit and continued to play with his mobile phone.

Yuzao's obsession with modern intelligent equipment surprised Lu Xiao a little: "Xiaoyu, what do you think of this era?" ”

The little fox with golden fur poked its head out of Yongzhen's neckline and glanced at Lu Xiao, his orange-red eyes flashing with a smart look.

"Hmm...... How to say it. ”

Tamamo thought about it for a while: "In terms of the living environment, it is better in the past." ”

"In the past, the water of the stream was clearer and the air quality was higher, and the further back in ancient times, the purity of the spiritual power contained in the air also increased."

"But it's not very objective to consider the environment alone, and in terms of living conditions, the current era is undoubtedly more advantageous."

"Most of the world's civilians no longer have to worry about filling their stomachs, and they can enjoy the many convenient entertainment methods brought by modern technology in their spare time...... Such as smartphones, personal computers, and so on. ”

Smartphones are outdated in the eyes of Lu Xiao and Yongzhen, and it is unacceptable to get used to using the more portable Focus, and then go back to using a "bulky" phone.

But for Tamamo, who is new to modern technology, the smartphone is definitely an epoch-making "treasure" beyond her imagination.

Lu Xiao nodded thoughtfully: "Sure enough, the further you go to ancient times, the higher the concentration of magic in the atmosphere......

went around and around and returned to the circle of the end of the Dharma era.

Even in the world of Marvel, which is still full of magic, with the growth of population and the destruction of the environment by humans, the concentration of magic is indeed declining.

This is a common problem in almost all worlds that contain the concept of magic.

Lu Xiao is not sure whether the resources of the Marvel Universe will eventually be exhausted due to the uncontrolled growth of the population, as Thanos said.

This question only left some impressions in his mind for a moment, and as the flow of people who went to Kanda Shrine to worship gradually converged, Lu Xiao temporarily forgot about this topic.

With more than 35% of Japan's total population in the greater Tokyo metropolitan area, Lu Xiao, who lives in a high-end residential area, doesn't usually feel it, but the flow of people on the streets increases exponentially during the festival season.

Compared to when visiting Kanda Shrine during the day, the flow of people in the afternoon is more terrifying.

After entering the Kanda street outside Chiyoda Ward, the street is blocked by pedestrians who come to participate in the festival.

Blocked by the policing police, only a space was left in the middle of the street for the portable shrine to pass by, and a large number of people piled up on both sides of the road chattering and discussing.

The noisy surroundings made Tamamo very uncomfortable, and she used to live in the Edo period, Tokyo...... In other words, Edo is far from such a terrifying population density.

Plugging his ears with his tail, Tamamo looked like he didn't listen to anything outside the window, and continued to poke and poke on the smartphone with his nimble little paws.

The Onmyoji Association has long considered the problem of crowd flow, and in order to avoid the distinguished guests attending the meeting being blocked by "ordinary people", the association has specially arranged a green channel.

Near the Ichino torii gate leading to the shrine, several onmyoji, dressed in hunting clothes, hold one-handed knots on their chests.

In the eyes of ordinary people, these onmyoji are just part of the festival celebration, and they are dressed like this to set off the atmosphere.

But as long as they get close enough to a certain distance, people who are related to the mysterious world can feel faint and soft spiritual power fluctuations.

After approaching Kanda Shrine, Tamamo reluctantly became completely spiritualized at the urging of Eternal Truth.

When Lu Xiao and Yongzhen walked up to the onmyoji who was in charge of greeting them, one of the older onmyoji's eyes suddenly widened, obviously recognizing the identities of the two.

The Japanese worship of the strong has never changed since ancient times, and this onmyoji immediately beckoned the others around him to salute Lu Xiao respectfully.

"Supreme Master and Master Yongzhen, welcome the two of you who have traveled thousands of miles to participate in the Onmyoji Conference."

Lu Xiao maintained a faint smile on his face: "The sudden announcement of the meeting is probably a lot of increase in your workload, I said that everything is simple, President Ashiya is too polite." ”

The current president of the Onmyoji Association is named Ashiya Mifune, and like the Abe and Kamo families, Ashiya is also a family that has left a strong mark on the history of Onmyoji.

The most representative figure of the Ashiya family is Ashiya Michiman, who is regarded as the biggest threat by the first onmyoji Abe Harumi.

Thousands of years have passed, and Daoman and Qingming have long since disappeared, but the Dao system they left behind has been inherited from generation to generation.

The three major families of Abe, Kamo, and Ashiya are collectively known as the Onmyoji's Imperial Three Families, and the president of each generation of the association is elected from among the three families.

Surrounded by a large number of onmyoji, Lu Xiao and Yongzhen were welcomed into an antique two-story building.

Through a spatial passage connected by spells, Lu Xiao and Yongzhen teleported directly to the Kandari Shrine.

Compared to the desertion of the morning, the shrine has become very lively.

A large number of onmyoji wearing the same hunting clothes are scattered all over the shrine and talk loudly, and some people will even make a few gestures on the spot.

Due to the rules of the association, it is forbidden to cast spells in the shrine without permission, and these people are just gesturing and not infusing mana.

Lu Xiao turned on his eagle vision and glanced in the direction of the side hall, and there were several elderly onmyoji with serious expressions guarding the dry well that no one cared about in the morning.

Without waiting for Lu Xiao to observe in detail, a sturdy old man wearing a black hat and a white goatee on his face took the lead and walked out of the main hall quickly, followed by a large group of men, women and children wearing various kinds of hunting clothes.

Lu Xiao learned about this old man from the information given by Altheya, and he was the current president of the Onmyoji Association, Ashiya Mifune.

Raising two fingers in the middle of the meal to give a salute on his chest, Ashiya Mifune politely welcomed the arrival of Lu Xiao and Yongzhen.

"Supreme Master, Yongzhen Master, the Onmyoji Association welcomes the two of you."

Lu Xiao maintained a gentle smile on the surface and greeted Mifune, but secretly locked on an onmyoji who was obviously hostile to him.

It was a young man with a handsome appearance but a gloomy temperament, and the magic power that unconsciously overflowed from his body made Lu Xiao feel a little uncomfortable.

"Abe Shunji, this strange magic, really ......'

Eagle Vision has not yet scanned Mo Du's whereabouts, and Abe Shunji will not be troubled for the time being, but he can't expect him to have a good face for Lu Xiao and Yongzhen.

"Supreme Mage, I have admired the name for a long time, but I didn't expect the famous Kama Taj to actually take a fancy to our small local organization."

Abe Shunji's yin and yang weird attitude made Mifune very dissatisfied: "Shunji! Watch your words! ”

Lu Xiao didn't care about the other party's mouth, he looked at the demeanor of the group of high-level Onmyoji in front of him with interest.

Sure enough, as Xiaoyu said, it's just a plate of loose sand. ’
