[Comprehensive] Goddess Event Book

Kamogawa has flowed slowly from the city called Heian-kyo since thousands of years ago, nourishing and wreaking havoc on this land.But no matter what, this place is always so unhurried, walking quietly.This is the old capital that has stood for thousands of years, here is Kyoto.

Anna got off the Shinkansen car, and the cool and fresh air entered her lungs. Most of the people coming and going did things in a different pace of life than other Japanese people - it's hard to describe, but it's a unique way Yes, the mystery and heaviness that Anna had never experienced in Tokyo.

Before coming to Kyoto, someone reminded Anna what kind of place this is. It seems like a small kingdom independent of Japan. The changes in modern society cannot make this place retreat. They stick to their own way of life.

"Kyoto, Kyoto, even if your family has lived here for three generations, you still can't be regarded as an authentic Kyoto person. Only when you have lived here for five generations or more, will you be accepted by the people of Kyoto as your own child."

When Anna heard this statement at the time, she felt that it was too exaggerated, but now it seems that she really did not come for nothing.The older he is, the more stubborn he is. Since he has chosen to stay the same amid thousands of years of changes, the contemporary changes are probably not worth mentioning in his eyes.

Don't judge all this with the eyes of a contemporary person, it is a city that has lasted for thousands of years.

"Teachers, this way please." The Kyoto government invited Nippon Kiin, so the arrangements will definitely be made.

Anna just got off the Shinkansen here, and someone from Kyoto was there holding a sign to receive her.People from the Chess Academy got on the spacious bus one after another, and the bus departed after the number of people was confirmed to be correct.

"This is Kyoto, it feels very different from Tokyo." Through the car window, Anna saw the ancient but new bustling streets, with an inexplicable power.

Dongying and Huaxia have different principles for restoring ancient buildings. Huaxia's principle is to restore the old as old, while Dongying's principle is to restore the old as new.I can't say who is good and who is bad, only that the feelings they bring to people are different.Huaxia retained its original appearance, but also sacrificed some sense of impact, making it look a bit shabby.As for Dongying, the sense of history is slightly lacking, but it makes people see the same things as the ancients to the greatest extent.

"Anna's first visit to Kyoto is the first time." Ansheng Lumei put down her luggage on the luggage rack with a smile: "Then you have to take a good look at Kyoto. It really has its own differences."

"Is this the first time for Anna Chudan to come to Kyoto?" A male chess player sitting behind looked quite shocked: "Wow! I thought Anna Chuduan had Kyoto blood, or maybe she was from Kyoto, after all, Anna Chuduan's accent... um Well, how should I put it, people who are familiar with it should be able to hear it, it has some Kyoto accents. Isn't that right, Mr. Matsumoto?"

Mr. Matsumoto was arranged by the Kyoto side, and at this time he was holding a small flag to take care of the situation of each chess player.Hearing someone asking him, he immediately looked at Anna and laughed: "Mr. Anna? The accent has some Kyoto accents, but real Kyoto people can't hear it... Maybe someone from Teacher Anna's parents is People from Kyoto."

Anna covered her mouth and laughed: "I'm a foreigner. As for my accent, it's probably because my Japanese teacher is from Kyoto... I have two Japanese teachers, and one is from Gunma Prefecture."

"Foreigner?" Matsumoto's expression was surprised: "This is really surprising, Teacher Anna's Japanese is very good!"

Hearing this kind of praise, Anna just smiled and said nothing.

Unlike China, the Japanese are happy to wear their traditional clothes even after entering the modern age.Women in kimonos of various colors walk around with small steps on the streets of Japan. If it is a festival, there will be more girls in yukata.

But there is no other city where traditional kimonos are worn so densely like Kyoto.In the streets and alleys, almost at a glance, there are women in traditional clothes.

Clothes are just a superficial thing, but deep impressions are often brought about by this excessive surface.Even Anna, a foreigner, can't help being infected by Kyoto when the gorgeous or elegant kimono skirt passes by.

The Kyoto government is not stingy, it arranged a five-star hotel for Qiyuan, Anna and Ansheng Lumei got a standard double room, and the two girls had no problem staying there.Plus Maori one, it won't feel crowded.

"Today, teachers are resting here first. Tomorrow, there will be a promotional event in the auditorium of the hotel, and there will be special promotional photos after that. Ah, teachers, go this way. Anyway, I will trouble the teachers when the time comes. .” Mr. Matsumoto respectfully guided the players.

After a long journey, Anna and Ansheng Lumei quickly took a bath and rested. Even the noisy Mao Li cooperated quite well and fell asleep obediently in Anna's arms.

The activities in the hotel auditorium are actually a bit of a cliché. They are some old professional practitioners invited from the capital, plus some representatives of the local consortium, like a reception.

However, the practitioners of these ancient occupations are still very interesting. The famous geisha, kimono tailors, century-old wagashi shop pastry chefs, monks in Kyoto, and many people who Anna does not know their occupations at all.

"I still have to wear a kimono." Before Anna came, she was told that during travel activities in Kyoto, kimonos were required to be worn on many occasions.She has her own kimono - all of which were prepared by her grandparents after she was born, but she had no chance to wear them in the first 13 years!

"Isn't Anna's kimono very expensive in the first stage?" Almost every Japanese person can judge the quality of a kimono, and Kami Ansheng can make a good guess at a glance.

Anna's kimono has a bright red background with a Hoshoka pattern, and the Hosaka pattern is light white, like snowflakes falling on a red blanket.From the perspective of quality and design, you can tell that it is very expensive at first glance.

Anna fiddled with the kimono: "This is a gift from grandpa, I haven't worn it before!"

Ansheng Lumei sighed, and called the waiter of the hotel to help put on the kimono - the sash of the kimono is very difficult to tie. This is not only a problem that only professionals can understand some knotting patterns, but also because it requires a lot of work. Great strength.Not to mention the wearer himself, even ordinary female friends can't help.

If it is a five-star hotel, it will always meet the needs of the guests.What's more, in this place of Kyoto, it is relatively easy to find someone who can help you tie a kimono belt.

After putting on the kimono, Anna didn't comb her hair in a bun, and simply let her hair hang down: "Let's go."

An Sheng Lumei is also considered young and beautiful among the female chess players, and soon a male chess player took her away.As for Anna, while the male chess players like her very much, they also avoid this girl who is only a junior high school student.She is too young, so it's fine for the group of uncles to talk about it, but I dare not approach it alone.

So when I arrived at the hotel auditorium, Anna placed the order, and came with a small handbag and Maori.Mao Li seemed to be particularly interested in the snacks on the table, so Anna simply let him eat the snacks, while she found a sofa in a corner and sat down.

"Wow, whose family are you from?" A little boy in a red safari suddenly rubbed against Anna's back. Anna turned her head and saw him squarely.

This was a boy who looked like a primary school student, but Anna didn't guess that he was a family member.Not because of anything, but because of the aura emanating from him—except for the leader of the exorcist gang she met before, this is the person with the most aura she has ever seen in Japan.

So this is not a family member, but probably some kind of 'special occupation' practitioner.

"Perhaps... are you an exorcist?" Anna opened her eyes wide, her bright red lips curved, revealing the two dimples at the corners of her mouth.

As soon as Huakaiyuan broke into the auditorium, he noticed Anna in the corner—it is useless to sit in the corner with the white light of Pikapika flashing to this extent!

For onmyojis, they like this kind of spiritual power very much, so they quickly chose to hook up with the young lady.And he doesn't think that this level of spiritual power can be possessed by an ordinary person who knows nothing - even if he is of ordinary origin, after so many years of experience, he should know the 'truth' of this world.

Leaning over to talk, it was indeed as expected, this young lady is an insider, although she started with a question that onmyojis don't like very much.

On the mysterious side of Dongpu, there is a chain of contempt, and onmyoji's contempt for exorcising demons is one of them.This is like the domestic disciples of Maoshan, Longhushan and other famous families who despise some folk-born talisman masters and navy masters. This is not necessarily a difference in ability, but it is just a special social situation and a long-standing tradition. Impact.

"Miss sister, you are really unfriendly..." Facing Anna's face full of question marks, even if Huakaiyuan wanted to get angry, there was nothing he could do.No way, this is the privilege of a good-looking young lady.

"Miss sister, you are not from Dongying." This sentence is actually just the exclamation of Huakaiyuan breaking the household. In his opinion, Anna just doesn't know much about the business.This statement exaggerated Anna's ignorance.

But for Anna, it is a matter of course to nod: "That's right, I'm not from Dongying, I'm from China."

This is a much older country than Japan. On the mysterious side, Japan also learned many things from China.What Anna said made Li Huo suddenly realize. He just said, everyone has at least heard of the "young talents" in China. How could such a dazzling young lady not know.

Pohu took the seat next to Anna unceremoniously: "Well, from now on, young lady, don't talk about exorcising demons so casually, I'm the creation-style envoy of Huakaiyuan's family, and Huakaiyuan's breaking the household! Ai Hualiu is the main candidate. It is very unfriendly to casually tell an onmyoji that he is a demon exorcising master."

Of course, Anna didn't know about the small issue of Onmyoji and Demon Eliminator at this time, so she asked very honestly: "Why is that?"

"Huh? Why? Probably the exorcising master is too unstyled." Huakai Yuan replied casually.

There are deep reasons for this, and style is only a very superficial reason. Onmyojis always use this superficial reason to attack demon masters—the entry threshold for demon masters is too low, and most demon masters What can be dealt with is the level of the little ones.It is undeniable that there are also very powerful guys among the exorcists, but overall, the professional level of the exorcists is very low.

The onmyojis, who have always boasted of their famous families and whose inheritance is more prominent than that of the exorcising demon masters, are different.This is probably the difference between general casting of nets and focused training. Unlike the extensive growth of demon extermination masters, every onmyoji is actually the product of careful cultivation.

From this point of view, although the number of Onmyoji groups is small, all of them are comparable to the elites among demon masters.In contrast to this situation, it seems normal for the Onmyoji to stand at the top of the chain of contempt and look down on the Exorcist.

However, this is only the most superficial reason. In addition to demon masters, Dongying has many other professions responsible for eliminating evil spirits. Onmyoji is not very friendly to demon masters alone. This is no longer simply explained by peers. that's it.

If I had to say it, it was actually the Exorcist who posed a great threat to the survival of the Onmyoji.

Extensive training methods for exorcists have many disadvantages, but the benefits are also obvious.This allowed the group of exorcists to grow rapidly, remember this, don't underestimate it!This is how the change of dynasties in all industries in the world often begins!

Onmyoji is in the high-end field, and Demon Eliminator is undoubtedly very close to the people.Moreover, as the demon-eliminating masters passed on for longer, more and more outstanding young people became demon-eliminating masters instead of onmyojis, and they have begun to set foot in the upper realm that originally belonged to onmyojis.

Just like the custom industry that has been popular in Japan since ancient times, there were the most "taifu" a long time ago. They were proficient in various talents, and their manners of conversation were very elegant, and they were no less noble than princesses.Such a "Tai Fu" is something ordinary people can't even think about, even the "end" under the "Tai Fu" makes it difficult for ordinary customers to kiss Fangze.

Then with the change of the times, 'Tai Fu' and even 'Duan' disappeared in time, while the 'Oiran' who was once relatively low-end jumped up.They are not so particular, and the rules for interacting with them are not very cumbersome, and they quickly swept the industry.

There is nothing wrong with this, since Yangchun Baixuequ has always been high and low~ Isn't that how it is when the Onmyoji is holding it?

If the onmyojis are not under the pressure of survival, there is no problem in continuing to maintain their high profile.The key is that onmyojis also have to survive!In China, ascetics will also emphasize the "law, wealth and land". The material foundation and the help of powerful people are the basis for them to practice and obtain the Tao with peace of mind. This is of course a common principle in Japan.

To put it bluntly, exorcising demons means stealing the jobs of onmyojis and touching the bread and butter that originally belonged to onmyojis. Can this be tolerated?There is a Chinese saying, 'cutting people's fortunes like killing their parents', but there is no equivalent in Japan, but similar meanings do exist.

Among all the conflicts, only the conflict of interests is the cruelest and most enduring.At this stage, Onmyoji didn't work with Demon Eliminators, it's just that these two industries are special, and the upper echelon would not be happy to see such a thing.On the face of it, it's not bad, but the actual relationship between the people... Hehe, understand the spirit, understand the spirit.

Huakaiyuan explained it to Anna in a rather cryptic manner. Of course, there were some things that were not clear, but only vaguely explained.But Anna is very smart, she gave a meaningful 'oh~', and the two exchanged glances, everything was silent.

"My name is Liu Anna, and I'm a professional Go player. This time, I came to Kyoto only because of the activities of the chess academy." Everyone has already said so much, and of course Anna will not hesitate to introduce herself.

"Huakaiyuan's broken household, Aihualiu's alternate is the master, just ask me to break the household." The expression of Huakaiyuan's broken household is both straightforward and indescribable: "Professional Go player? Your profession is really unique."

The young lady was born to be in their line of work, professional Go?What is that, can I eat it?

"Puchi!" Anna laughed, curling her hair with her fingers, and whispered, "Actually, I have a part-time job. I am a Taoist priest, but I also worked as a shrine maiden here in Dongying. something."

That's right!Finally, Huakaiyuan no longer has to worry about Anna's career.

I don't know why, but the two hit it off very well, and it can almost be said that the performance of talking happily made the servant who followed the broken house unable to close his eyes.

It is true that Huakaiyuan Pohu is the outstanding young master of the Huakaiyuan family's next generation, but it does not mean that he is a worry-free child.Most of the time, he is an existence that causes headaches for those around him.

Children are not easy to deal with, let alone children who are capable of causing destruction!Huakaiyuan, who was so powerful at a young age, broke into a household, and he messed up... Thinking about his shikigami, trembling, trembling!

Usually, everyone coaxes him as much as possible, but even so, this little ancestor often has trouble—to attend this occasion today, these accompanying people have been waiting with trepidation, because they don't want to come because they have broken their households!It really feels unreal to be so docile now.

"Miss Anna, you must be very powerful. By the way, you Chinese Taoist priests don't use shikigami, do you use zombies to help you fight?" Huakaiyuan finally asked the question that has been bothering him.

This was probably the worst time a Chinese Taoist priest was hacked, and Anna could only be dumbfounded—that's how she knew that Dongying viewed Chinese Taoist priests in this way.

"Ah? That kind of thing... Hmm, maybe there are some mages like that." China has a vast land and abundant resources. Anna really didn't dare to beat him to death, so she could only explain as much as possible: "It's just a few The more influential sects are not like this."

The opening of Huakaiyuan's household is completely like the illusion has been shattered, and it looks a little weak: "In that case, who will be the Chinese Taoist priests to assist in the battle!"

"Traditionally speaking, our Taoist priests have very strong fighting power. What's more, no matter how strong the fighting power is, monsters and ghosts will have no way to deal with strong enough spells."

Anna thought for a while, and then added: "Some Taoist priests will 'enlighten' some little monsters, and some kind-hearted monsters can also become assistants."

While the two were discussing the difference between this and Shikigami, there was a commotion in the distance, and Anna reacted quickly because she saw the small figure of Mouri.

"Mori!" The skirt of the kimono really affected the movement, Anna picked up the skirt and was about to run over, but the speed was very slow.

Maori had been avoiding the other party, because he knew that the owner's request was to play an ordinary child and not reveal his differences.But Anna noticed that this side was different, he quickly dodged to Anna's side, and quietly put his hand on the body knife hidden in the skirt of the kimono.

"What, so there is an owner." The middle-aged man in a dark kimono curled his lips.

"Hey, it's Bu you." Of course, Huakaiyuan broke the household and noticed the situation here.

Huakaiyuanbu, if you count seniority, can be said to be Huakaiyuan's broken cousin.But the branch families have been independently inherited for a long time, especially the few big branch families... In terms of blood relationship, the two people have long been indifferent.

"Broken household?" Huakai Yuanbu looked at him, then at Anna, surprised by the spiritual power on Anna.

Pohu didn't pay much attention to Huakaiyuanbu, saying that they were both from Huakaiyuan's family, but the age gap between the two was too big, and they didn't even talk to each other.

The broken eyes fell on Mori Toshiro: "This is Miss Anna, your assistant? Wow, you have a good eye!"

With the ability of Huakaiyuan to break the household, of course, the details of Maori can be seen at a glance.Fusangshen, swords and swords, that kind of aura can almost cut people!And comparable to the fighting power is the loyalty of Sword Fusangshen, an assistant that Onmyojis all yearn for.

It's just that the swords of Fusangshen are not so easy to get. The swords of Fusangshen are rare, and they have to find a way to wake them up-few onmyojis can do it.Moreover, it is said that after awakening, Daojian Fusangshen will continue to use the master's spiritual power. Thinking about it this way, it is not so cost-effective.

Anna patted Mao Li's head as a way to appease the kid who was about to explode, and nodded to the onmyoji opposite.

After realizing that Mori Toshiro was not Fusangshin who was acting indiscriminately, Hanakaiinfu also restrained his behavior.Nodding towards Anna: "If you are his master, you'd better keep an eye on him. In Kyoto...everyone is very sensitive about this kind of thing."
