Tamamo Mae's adaptability to environmental changes is better than Lu Xiao imagined, and her learning ability is also very strong.
When she left for the venue in the afternoon, Tamamo Mae was already proficient in playing with her smartphone.
In her semi-spiritual state, Tamamo Mae could not be seen by ordinary people, but in order to prevent the onmyoji attending the meeting from discovering her traces, Lu Xiao turned her into a miniature four-tailed fox and huddled in Yongzhen's arms.
The warm and furry touch put a happy smile on Yongzhen's face, and Tamamo Mae hid in Yongzhen's spacious Onmyoji hunting clothes and continued to play with her mobile phone.
Tamamozen's obsession with modern intelligent equipment surprised Lu Xiao: "Xiaoyu, what do you think of this era?"
The little fox with golden fur poked his head out from Yongzhen's collar and glanced at Lu Xiao, his orange-red eyes flashing with a lively look.
"Hmm...how should I put it?"
Tamamo thought for a while: "Considering the living environment, it is better to go back to the past."
"The streams in the past were clearer and the air quality was higher. The further back in time we go, the higher the purity of the spiritual power contained in the air."
"But it is not objective to consider the environment alone. In terms of living conditions, today's era is undoubtedly more superior."
"Most civilians in the world no longer have to worry about filling their stomachs, and can enjoy many convenient entertainment methods brought by modern technology in their spare time...such as smartphones, personal computers, etc."
Smartphones are already outdated in the eyes of Lu Xiao and Yongzhen. They are accustomed to using the more portable Focus, and it is unacceptable to go back to using a "bulky" mobile phone.
But for Tamamo Mae, who was exposed to modern technology for the first time, smartphones were definitely an epoch-making "treasure" beyond her imagination.
Lu Xiao nodded with all his thoughts in mind: "Sure enough, the farther you go to ancient times, the higher the concentration of magic power in the atmosphere..."
Going around and around, I returned to the circle of the Dharma Ending Age.
Even in the world of Marvel, where magic is still abundant, as the population grows and humans damage the environment, the concentration of magic is indeed showing a downward trend.
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 uncontrolled population growth, as Thanos said.
This question only left some fleeting impression in his mind. As the crowds of people going to Kanda Shrine gradually gathered, Lu Xiao temporarily forgot about this topic.
The greater Tokyo metropolitan area accounts for more than 35% of Japan's total population. Lu Xiao, who lives in a high-end residential area, usually does not feel that during festivals, the flow of people on the streets will increase geometrically.
Compared to when going to Kanda Shrine during the day, the flow of people in the afternoon is even scarier.
After entering Chiyoda-ku Soikaanda Street, pedestrians coming to participate in the celebration blocked the street.
Blocked by the police who were maintaining law and order, only a space was left in the middle of the street for the mikoshi to pass by. A large number of people gathered on both sides of the road, chattering and discussing.
Tamazomae was very uncomfortable with the noisy environment around her. In the Edo period where she lived, Tokyo...or Edo, for that matter, was far from having such a terrifying population density.
Blocking his ears with his tail, Tamamo Mae looked like he couldn't hear what was going on outside the window, and continued to poke at the smartphone with his nimble little paws.
The Onmyoji Association has long considered the problem of crowd flow. In order to prevent the distinguished guests attending the meeting from being blocked by "ordinary people", the association specially arranged a green channel.
Near the Ichino Torii leading to the shrine, several onmyoji in hunting robes raised their hands in a seal in front of their chests.
In the eyes of ordinary people, these onmyojis are just part of the festival celebrations and are dressed like this to enhance the atmosphere.
But as long as you get close to a certain distance, people related to the mysterious world can feel weak and gentle spiritual energy fluctuations.
After approaching Kanda Shrine, Tamamo Mae reluctantly turned into a spirit at Nagama's urging.
When Lu Xiao and Yongzhen walked together to the onmyoji who was responsible for greeting them, one of the older onmyojis suddenly opened his eyes, apparently recognizing their identities.
The Japanese's admiration for the strong has never changed since ancient times. The onmyoji immediately called on others around him to salute Lu Xiao respectfully.
"Supreme Master, Master Yongzhen, welcome you both to come from thousands of miles away to attend the Onmyoji Conference."
Lu Xiao kept a faint smile on her face: "The sudden announcement of participation in the meeting will probably increase your workload a lot. I have already said that everything should be kept simple. President Ashiya is too polite."
The current president of the Onmyoji Association is Ashiya Mifune. 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 Michimitsu, who is regarded as the biggest threat by the first onmyoji, Abe Seimei.
Thousands of years have passed, Daoman and Qingming have long since disappeared, but the orthodoxy 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 Onmyoji's three major families. The president of each generation of the association is selected from the three major families.
Surrounded by a large number of onmyoji, Lu Xiao and Yongzhen were welcomed into an antique two-story building.
Through a space channel connected by magic, Lu Xiao and Yongzhen were teleported directly to the Kandari Shrine.
Compared with the deserted scene that was glimpsed in the morning, the Sato Shrine at this time has become very lively.
A large number of onmyojis wearing the same hunting clothes were scattered around the shrine and talking loudly. Some people even made some gestures on the spot when they got excited.
Due to the regulations of the association, magic is not allowed to be cast in the shrine without permission. These people just made gestures and did not infuse magic power.
Lu Xiao turned on his eagle vision and glanced in the direction of the side hall. There were several elderly onmyoji with serious expressions guarding the dry well that had not been visited in the morning.
Before Lu Xiao could observe in detail, a hale old man wearing a black hat and a gray goatee took the lead and walked out of the main hall quickly. Behind him was a large group of men, women and children wearing various hunting clothes.
Lu Xiao learned about this old man from the information given by Aletheia. He is the current president of the Onmyoji Association, Ashiya Mifune.
Raising two fingers in front of his chest as a salute, Ashiya Mifune politely welcomed the arrival of Lu Xiao and Yong Zhen.
"Supreme Master, Master Yongzhen, and the Onmyoji Association welcome you both."
Lu Xiao maintained a gentle smile on the surface to greet Mifune, but secretly he first locked onto an Onmyoji who showed obvious hostility towards him.
It was a young man with a handsome appearance but a gloomy temperament. The magic power that unconsciously leaked from his body made Lu Xiao feel a little uncomfortable.
'Abe Shunkichi, this weird magic power is indeed...'
Eagle Vision has not yet scanned Modo's whereabouts, and Abe Shunji will not attack for the time being, but he cannot be expected to have a good attitude towards Lu Xiao and Yongzhen.
"Supreme Mage, I have admired the name for a long time, but I never thought that the famous Kama Taj would also take a fancy to our small local organization."
Abe Shunkichi's eccentric attitude made Mifune very dissatisfied: "Shunkichi! Watch your words!"
Lu Xiao didn't pay attention to the other party's verbal excitement. He looked at the expressions of the senior Onmyoji masters in front of him with great interest.
'It's just like Xiaoyu said, it's just a piece of loose sand.'
