One thing to say, Lu Xiao actually couldn't recognize the difference between foxes and other canine creatures.

Considering the white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox that appeared in Japanese mythology, Lu Xiao subconsciously identified this three-tailed god as a fox...... Essence.

Yongzhen put the seal on his chest with one hand, looked at the three-tailed fox with a warning and asked, "Shikami, who are you instructed by?" Why do you follow us in secret? ”

The three-tailed fox's attitude was still respectful, and she maintained a saluting posture until Yongzhen and Lu Xiao asked her to look up.

"The little demon has no master, so he went to meet the two adults of his own will."

"Ridiculous!"

Yongzhen retorted on the spot: "It is impossible for Shikigami to exist in the world for a long time without the spiritual power provided by the master, and it will either be transformed into a monster again, or it will disappear from now on. ”

"You obviously still maintain the posture of Shikigami, don't think that we are outsiders and don't know the inside story."

The three-tailed fox explained with a wry smile: "Master Onmyoji, please calm your anger, the situation of the little demon is quite special, it is imprisoned here by someone with the method of earth binding, and it cannot be separated from it for eternity. ”

"Earthbound?"

Yongjin had read about this spell from Kama Taj's collection, and she probably understood the state of the three-tailed fox.

"In other words, your surviving spiritual power is provided by the leylines of the shrine in Kanda?"

"Exactly."

Yongzhen pondered for a moment, then turned his head and asked Lu Xiao for advice with his eyes.

Lu Xiao didn't speak, just nodded to Yongzhen silently.

"Raise your head first."

Yongzhen didn't completely let her guard down, but she temporarily lowered her right hand that was standing on her chest.

When the three-tailed fox lowered her head, Yongzhen and Lu Xiao could only see half of her side face.

The three-tailed fox who raised his head fully showed his beautiful appearance.

Not long ago, Lu Xiao had only seen the light elf queen Honora, who also had a super appearance, and the beauty of the three-tailed fox was different from her.

Honora is beautiful, but her flawless beauty will make people feel dreamlike unreal, which makes Lu Xiao subconsciously feel a sense of distance from her.

In contrast, the beauty of the three-tailed fox can be said to have reached the limit of what humans can accept, and even Yongzhen, who is a woman, can't help but be fascinated by her beauty and lose her mind for a moment.

Lu Xiao's soul strength was extraordinary, and he could force himself to stay awake in the three-tailed fox's seemingly demonic charm, but he also deliberately pretended to be distracted, and his eyes looked at the three-tailed fox's beautiful face obsessively.

This is the best opportunity to test the opponent's intentions, and if the opponent is hostile, this is the best time to strike.

But the three-tailed fox didn't make a move, she still maintained a polite posture, silently waiting for the "two" to come back to their senses.

"Hiss~"

After about two seconds, Yongzhen took a deep breath and finally broke free from the magical charm of the three-tailed fox.

“…… You didn't do it on purpose, did you? ”

"Yes."

The three-tailed fox replied with a dignified expression: "This is the innate natural ability of the little demon, and I can't control it." ”

The contact between the three of them seems to be very long, but less than 10 seconds have actually passed since the three-tailed fox appeared.

Yongzhen and Lu Xiao's pause made the young onmyoji who watched them leave suspicious, he didn't seem to see the existence of the three-tailed fox, and planned to step forward and urge the two.

"Now is not the time to chat."

Lu Xiao's spell casting temporarily stopped the time of the entire shrine, and the onmyoji's movements as he walked forward suddenly stopped.

"Little fox, you suddenly appeared to stop us, you should have prepared a suitable communication environment in advance, right?"

The three-tailed fox took a deep look at the completely stagnant Onmyoji, and nodded gently: "Yes, please come with me." ”

……

The three-tailed fox who was imprisoned in Kanda Shrine has lived here for many years, but she remembers every plant and tree at the shrine clearly.

Under her leadership, the three of them took advantage of the time when time was suspended and quietly came to the back of the side hall on the left side of the main building of the shrine.

The three-tailed fox jumped into a quaint stone well first, and Lu Xiao and Yongzhen followed.

There is no head visible below the well, but the actual height is less than three meters.

After the three of them landed steadily, the three-tailed fox waved his hand to dispel the illusion, and what appeared in front of them was a rather vast secret space.

There are rows of bookshelves stacked in this underground space, and a large number of ancient books are stored in it, which looks like a study room.

"This is a secret room that the little demon has spent years arranging, and it is impossible for the onmyoji of the shrine to discover the mystery here unless he jumps directly into the well."

Under the guidance of the three-tailed fox, Lu Xiao and Yongzhen sat down one after another.

Lu Xiao stared straight at the three-tailed fox's soul-seducing eyes: "Little fox, let's talk straight, what are you looking for us?" ”

The three-tailed fox bowed slightly in a dignified manner: "Please also let the little demon introduce himself first." ”

"My name is Tamamo, I wonder if the two adults have ever heard of this name?"

Lu Xiao was not surprised by the name reported by the three-tailed fox, as early as when he saw her three tails, Lu Xiao had some guesses.

Yongzhen was very surprised and asked: "In front of Tamamo, the white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox that appeared in the Heian period?" A peerless beauty who serves Emperor Toba as a palace maid? ”

Tamamo nodded without hesitation and admitted: "That's right, although there are many discrepancies between legends and facts, it is true that the little demon only entered the human world at the end of the Muromachi shogunate. ”

As a native of Japan, Yongzhen was very interested in Tamamo's experience, but Lu Xiao interrupted her to continue the question.

"It's not your experience that matters, it's why you came forward to stop us."

Tamamo smiled and explained, "The little demon naturally has something to ask for, and I hope to escape from the fate of being bound here. ”

"I can provide you with important information about your life, or you can become the onmyoji-sama's Shikigami and ask yourself to take me out of this small and unchanging world."

"Lives ...... at stake"

Lu Xiao narrowed his eyes, and his originally somewhat casual attitude became serious: "Go on, if your intelligence is valuable, I can agree to your request." ”

A gleam of joy flashed in Tamamo's eyes, and after hundreds of years of anticipation, there was finally hope, and she settled down to tell the information she had learned.

……

"Inner Ghost...... Is it? ”

The information provided by Yuzao just completed some of the information that Lu Xiao was missing in this conference.

According to her, there are many people in the Onmyoji Association who are dissatisfied with the status quo of the association's drawing of the ground as a prison, and hope to connect with the world in a more open way.

There is also a group of more radical Onmyoji hidden in this sect, led by a famous family named Abe Shunkichi, who hopes that the Onmyoji Association will gain a prominent position in the world, and even replace the Holy Land Kama Taj as the leader of the earth's mystical realm.

"Abe Shunji is one of the descendants of Japan's most well-known onmyoji - Abe Harumi, he did not learn the essence of the ancestors' yin and yang, but he learned Harumi's insidious cunning ten out of ten."

Speaking of Abe Harumi, Tamamo, who has always maintained an elegant posture, has a murderous aura in his eyes, and it is obvious that the two sides have clashed before.

"Abe Shunkichi colluded with outsiders and planned to eradicate the conservatives and enlightened moderates in the association in one fell swoop, and take control of the Onmyoji Association himself."

"The person who connected with Abe Shunji was none other than Kama Taj's traitor, Mordo, who had received demonic powers, and when communicating with Abe Shunji, he called himself Baron Mordo."
