Chapter 540: Mordu: Rua!
The current president of the association, Mifune Ashiya, belongs to the moderate faction of the reformists, and the Onmyoji, led by the Ashiya family, advocates a slow opening to the outside world so as not to take too big a step and pull the egg.
The Hemao family is the banner of the old school of stubborn forces, and they are resolutely opposed to violating the ancestral system and communicating with the "barbarians".
The Onmyoji in the crowd who resisted Lu Xiao but was not bitterly hostile was a member of the old school.
The moderate reformists represented by Ashiya Mifune have the most normal attitude towards Lu Xiao, and they will not be too flattering at the same time.
Interestingly, the radical reformists also split into two waves of dissenting people.
Some of the young onmyoji looked at Lu Xiao with reverence and yearning, perhaps hoping to get the guidance of the contemporary supreme mage and better understand their future.
However, some of the onmyoji led by Abe Shunji showed hostility to Lu Xiao in a clear manner, and this hostility was far stronger than that of the old school.
There are many different factions in a small Onmyoji Association, and if there is no strong enough leader to subdue the others, it is almost inevitable that they will fall into division.
Lu Xiao and Yongzhen pretended not to know anything, and entered the main hall of the shrine under the guidance of Ashiya Mifune.
The time of the demon is a common term used by the onmyoji, which generally refers to the daily time of the transition of yin and yang, that is, dusk and dawn.
In modern times, the concept of the time of the devil has been fixed, usually referring to two time periods: early morning and 6 to 8 pm.
There is a saying in the Japanese yin and yang world, when there is a demon, a hundred ghosts walk at night.
Whenever there is a demon, the ghosts and spirits that wander the world will become extremely active, and this is also the golden time for the onmyoji to dispatch, and if you want to capture the right Shikikami, you usually choose this time period to shoot.
In addition to gatherings and exchanges, the younger generation of onmyoji will also try to capture their favorite Shikijin under the care of their elders.
Most of the great demons of Japanese mythology and legends, such as the Sake Swallowing Boy, Yaki Orochi, Ibaraki Boy, Tengu, Daigakumaru, and Tamamomae, have been killed or sealed by powerful Onmyoji throughout the ages.
Now the style gods who can still be driven by the Onmyoji are worthless in the eyes of Lu Xiao and Yongzhen.
At the invitation of Ashiya Mifune, Lu Xiao and Yongzhen witnessed the activities of the young onmyoji to capture the Shikigami at the moment of the demon.
Most of the onmyoji captured ordinary gods such as lantern ghosts, Tang paper umbrella demons, and mountain children, and occasionally those with more luck could encounter the rarer Raven Tengu and the Nine Lives Cat Demon.
These all-too-common Shishen made Lu Xiao and Yongzhen unable to lift their spirits, and after watching the ceremony, the two kept a formulaic smile and said some scenes.
The next session finally made Yongzhen have some interest, and there was an exchange of spells about the Onmyoji.
During the in-depth discussion between Yongzhen and senior onmyoji such as Ashiya Mifune, Lu Xiao half-closed his eyes and began to recuperate.
Onmyoji such as Ashiya Mifune also knew that the things they were discussing would hardly get into the eyes of the Supreme Mage.
Most Onmyoji set their sights on Yongzhen, hoping to leave some good impressions in the Supreme Mage's mind by befriending this "compatriot".
Sure enough, it was gone. ’
Lu Xiao, who seems to be flying out of the world, has actually been awake, and when most of the onmyoji and Yongzhen are discussing hotly, some of the onmyoji led by Abe Shunji have disappeared.
Expanding the scope of Eagle Vision, Lu Xiao discovered the whereabouts of Abe Shunji and others in the side hall opposite the ancient well.
They are gathering together to cast spells together, trying to open the space channel connecting the shrine to the outside world with an unofficial release.
Kama Taj's mystics have the help of the Hanging Ring researched by their ancestors, and the apprentices who have just left the house can learn convenient teleportation spells, but the teleportation distance will be limited by their own mana.
Onmyoji doesn't have such benefits as Kama Taj, and space spells are already considered very high-level spells for them.
Although Abe Shunji relied on the identity of a famous family to gather a group of like-minded ...... Or a like-minded companion, but his own strength is not so outstanding that he can't even open the portal alone.
Through the small spatial passage opened by Abe Shunji and others, Mo Du, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately tore open the portal along the spatial fluctuations, and a dark figure stepped into the lightless side hall of the Kanda shrine.
In the pitch-black environment, Abe Shunji and the others could only see a mouthful of white teeth that Mo Du showed when he grinned at the corners of his mouth, and his whole person seemed to be completely integrated into the environment.
"Shunji, where is the target?"
Mordo's high-minded attitude of calling his subordinates made Abe Shunyoshi, who had been pampered since childhood, a little dissatisfied, but now was not the time for him to lose his temper.
Holding back his unhappy mood, Abe Shunji said sullenly: "It's still in the main hall." ”
Of course, Mordo saw Abe Shunji's dissatisfaction, and hooked the corners of his mouth disapprerovitically.
The two sides didn't have a good relationship in the first place, and they only came together temporarily out of a relationship of mutual use.
Shunji, whose heart is higher than the sky, secretly calculates Modu, and Modu doesn't treat them as cannon fodder.
Holding his left hand with a hanging ring, Mordo opened a large portal with great ease.
Dozens of mystics with calm faces entered the shrine from the other side of the door in an orderly manner, and under Mordo's instructions, they were all ready for battle.
Mordo ignored Abe Shunji and solemnly said to the mystics present: "Today is the best time to manifest the order of nature, and the rebellious mystics who wantonly destroy the laws of nature must be punished!" ”
"Let's go!"
Mordo kicked open the wooden sliding door of the side hall, his eyes began to glow with an eerie red light, and the mystics accompanying him also enchanted and prepared for close combat...... Yes, it's still the same old thing.
"Uh......"
Abe Shunkichi stretched out his hand to alert Mordo, but by this time the mystics had already burst into front of the main hall.
“…… The traditional Japanese door slides open on both sides. ”
The Kanda-ri shrine itself is a solid, semi-permanent mirror space where you can fight without fear of harming the innocent.
Under the secret arrangement of Abe Shunji, the onmyoji guarding the shrine during this time period were all his henchmen, and Mo Du and the others rushed to the front of the main hall almost without hindrance.
"What people!"
The elite onmyoji guarding outside the hall let out a scolding sound, and before these onmyoji could cast spells to summon the gods, Mo Du suddenly threw out several fiery red energy chains at them.
The onmyoji who was bound by the chains immediately let out a terrible roar, and the chains were accompanied by strange flames that burned their souls, and the appearance of the locked onmyoji did not seem to change, but their souls were burned in the flames.
"Hiccup~"
Lu Xiao in the hall had already opened his eyes, and he vaguely heard a belching sound coming from nowhere.
"Humph!"
Ashiya Mifune and the others, who were shocked, only heard a cold snort, and when they turned their gaze to Lu Xiao's location, it was already empty.
"Ding!"
Just as Mo Du was about to repeat his old trick and burn the souls of other guard onmyoji to dedicate to a certain "person", Lu Xiao suddenly appeared on the scene and waved the Xuanyuan Sword to cut the chains.
The chains of pure energy made a crisp sound like a substance under the attack of the Xuanyuan Sword.
"Hmm!"
These chains seemed to be directly connected to Mordo's soul, and the moment they were severed, a look of pain was evident on his face.
"Self-depravity."
"Boom!"
Lu Xiao stomped on the ground, and the traitor mystics who were about to attack him in a group were all locked up in the dungeon without exception, leaving only one head to struggle desperately outside.
Lu Xiao looked at Mo Du with a look of surprise with a sharp gaze, and the other party was looking at the golden sword in Lu Xiao's hand with great fear.
"Huh!"
Pointing the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand at Mo Du, Lu Xiao asked sternly: "Surrendering your soul to the demon, is this what you call maintaining the natural order?" Mordo! ”
