Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 446: Raccoon Book
"There are so many 'Mirror Water-stopping Spells'..."

"How much do psychics throughout the ages love to use the four words 'clear mirror and still water'?"

Looking at these "ancient books" that spanned a very long period of time, art types and text media, Xia Fan was already stunned.

"So, you asked me to come here because you wanted me to help you see if there is any way to identify these spells?"

"But so many psychics don't know, so I'm even more..."

He picked up an ancient book on the table and flipped through it curiously...

"Sure enough, I can't understand a single word."

This is a unique thread-bound copy handwritten with a brush. Xia Fan can't recognize any of the small characters written in a flamboyant style.

"Eh? Wait..."

His gaze lingered for a moment longer, and the originally obscure and difficult-to-understand ancient characters seemed to come alive and wriggle before his eyes...

"The heart is like a clear mirror, reflecting everything; the mind is like still water, responding to things as they come!"

Before he could react, Xia Fan subconsciously recited a spell at a machine gun speed, with an ancient tone and obscure words.

Some strange power was quietly surging in the dark room.

"This feeling..."

"So peaceful..."

Jinguji Aoi and Xia Fan felt refreshed, their minds were more peaceful than ever before, and even the tone of their voices became calm.

"As expected of you, Master Xia Fan. This 'Li Tong Shu' is the only handwritten copy left by the 'Da Li Gou Cult' whose inheritance has been cut off for a thousand years. How could you be able to activate the spell on it?"

Jinguji Aoi naturally understood that it was Xia Fan who activated the "ancient curse" in the book.

"Thank you for the compliment. I just wanted to give it a try and accidentally activated the spell."

Xia Fan then realized that he had just activated the protection of [High-Speed ​​Divine Words].

This divine blessing, in addition to making him a "burning fast-talking rapper", is actually a "spell that can activate everything in the age of gods and the human world"...

The thousand-year-old spell in this ancient book is obviously not enough.

"The four words 'unintentional' are too modest."

"Even the psychics of the association could only barely discern the words 'bright mirror and still water' on that page. It is incomparable to the ease with which Lord Xia Fan could activate the spell."

If it weren't for the spell's effect of forcing her to calm her mind, Jinguji Aoi would probably have been so excited that she would have lost control and started shouting.

For both her and the Psychic Association, Xia Fan's behavior of transcending time, religious beliefs, writing, heritage, bloodlines and other dimensions, ignoring gestures, spiritual power, rituals, beliefs and possible materials, and directly using the lost ancient spell was as surprising as resurrecting a dinosaur on the spot.

"But the effect of this 'Mirror and Water Curse' seems to only help people concentrate and calm their emotions. It seems to have nothing to do with the Cloud Mirror?"

"Oh, by the way, remember the last time I accidentally broke into Mirror Sky, it was through a mirror. Is it related to that?"

"Why don't you have someone bring a mirror over so I can try each spell one by one?"

In this clear and calm state, Xia Fan felt that his thoughts were extremely clear.

"what?!"

"That is to say, Master Xia Fan is confident of all the spells on the table..."

Hearing these words, Jinguji Aoi's originally calm mind broke through the effect of the spell and caused a huge wave.

……

ten minutes later.

Behind Jinguji Aoi's residence, in the empty woods, a full-length mirror as tall as a person reflects the cold moonlight.

"The heart is like a clear mirror, reflecting everything; the mind is like still water, responding to things as they come!"

Xia Fan held the ancient book called "Li Tong Shu" in his hand, stood in front of the mirror, and recited the previous spell again.

His [High-Speed ​​Divine Words] can only be passively triggered when he sees the "text" recording the spell, and no memory will be left in his mind afterwards, so he can only "open the book and cast the spell."

"It feels not much different from before."

A refreshing power once again permeated the forest. "The mirror has not changed either. It seems that the 'Mirror Water-stopping Spell' on it has nothing to do with the Cloud Mirror and the Mirror in the Sky."

"I don't know what kind of situation this 'Big Lycoris Cult' is in, what kind of mirror it is, and what kind of water it is stopping?"

Looking at the unchanged mirror in front of him, Xia Fan shook his head.

"Well, let's try again?"

"This "The Pillow Grass Secret Scroll" was written by an unknown Yin-Yang master in the Heian period. It is a long time ago and the pages are in tatters. Master Xia Fan, there is no need to force it..."

Xia Fan returned the ancient book to Jinguji Aoi and took a tattered scroll from her.

"Let me see……"

"Like the sky that covers everything, like the earth that carries everything, the intermittent light of fireflies flickers on and off within a foot..."

Looking at the pages with blurry characters, Xia Fan automatically recited a series of low incantations as a reflex...

"To my surprise, he can even use the spells lost in the Heian period easily... Where did Mr. Xia Fan learn from..."

"Perhaps, he can open the seal leading to that secret realm?"

Feeling the unusual activity of spiritual energy in the field, Jinguji Aoi's amber eyes were filled with excitement.

"Look, it's up there!"

After chanting the spell, Xia Fan subconsciously looked up at the sky...

The water vapor from all around gathered towards the sky above the forest and turned into a smooth water ball, reflecting the surrounding objects like a mirror.

"Could this mirror-like mass of water be the passage leading to the 'Mirrored Heaven'?"

"The effect of the spell is unknown, try it carefully..."

The two carefully looked at the suspended mass of water, and slowly approached it step by step...

"Hua la la la la..."

Suddenly, the water mass shook unsteadily, and broke into a turbulent stream, falling from the sky!
"It seems that this is just an ancient method of praying for rain."

"This amount of rain, which is not even enough for a bath, is shamelessly given such a cool name as 'Mingjing Zhishui'..."

Xia Fan and Jinguji Aoi seemed to have been caught in a rainstorm and instantly became soaked.

"You only need to perform a spell during a drought to easily gather a large number of believers, so this kind of magic is very popular in many ancient religions...A-choo!"

Aoi Jinguji, who was soaked all over and had her ponytail hanging down behind her head, couldn't help but sneeze.

"So, praying for rain is not to fight drought, but mainly to recruit believers?"

"Jinguji, are you okay? Do you have a cold?"

Xia Fan looked at her with concern.

"It's okay. I've been practicing martial arts for many years, and my body is much healthier than it looks..."

"Mr. Xia Fan?"

"You...your clothes...would you like to change into another one..."

Jinguji Aoi smiled and puffed out her chest, but found that Xia Fan in front of her was looking straight at her.

"what!"

Following Xia Fan's gaze, Jinguji Aoi lowered her head and realized that her completely soaked miko costume was wrapped around her delicate body like a tights...

The original pure white fabric turned translucent, revealing a slight flesh color, clearly outlining the undulating mountains on the chest, the slender and firm legs, and the imaginative Bermuda Triangle.

"No, please don't look at me like that..."

With her arms around the curvaceous body, Jinguji Aoi trotted back into the house.
