Xia Shao did not expect to meet an onmyoji at this time. Japanese onmyojis, like Feng Shui masters, have suffered political suppression and currently only exist in the name of religion and family education. Moreover, there are very few Onmyojis who have passed down their techniques. But the vitality surrounding the onmyoji in front of Xia Shao showed that he must have a lineage of inheritance, but his vitality was not very deep. Xia Shao opened his eyes to observe the vitality flowing in his body. At such a close distance, the man was completely unaware of it.
Judging from the level of cultivation in the Feng Shui sect, this person's cultivation level should be the first to refine Qi and transform into gods, comparable to Wen Ye's level. Judging from his age, his talent and cultivation level are both rare. Meet the master.
Not everyone in this world has the same gift of clairvoyance as Xia Shao, nor is he as unique as Xu Tianyin. Their talents are considered to be geniuses in today's world of Qimen, and Wen Ye entered the world at the age of fourteen. Those who are in the dark realm can be considered monsters.
Among the Feng Shui sects that are still passed down in China, Xuanmen has a main hall in Hong Kong, and Tang Zongbo, a Chinese leader in the field of metaphysics, is the leader of the sect, and its reputation is definitely well-known. Although Xuanmen has gone through a major cleanup and lost most of its disciples, judging from the current decline of the Feng Shui sect, Xuanmen definitely has the most disciples. Moreover, the talent level of the disciples can be considered to be at a high level.
Xuanmen not only has three transformation masters, Tang Zongbo, Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin, who are able to refine gods and return to the void, but also eight masters of dark power, including Zhang Zhongxian, Qiu Qiqiang, Zhao Gu and Hai Ruo. Such a lineup can definitely sweep through Qi Men Jiang Hu! But even so, Zhang Zhongxian is now sixty-five years old, still at the peak of his dark power, and has been slow to realize the threshold of transformation. Qiu Qiqiang and others have just entered the threshold of Anjin for a few years. They may be able to advance in this life, or they may always stay at this level and never make further progress.
When it comes to martial arts and internal cultivation, the requirements for talent and talent are sometimes so stringent.
But even if they are so harsh, the talents of Qiu Qiqiang, Hai Ruo and others are still excellent. How many martial arts practitioners in the world can reach the threshold of dark power at the age of forty? Wen Ye entered this threshold at the age of fourteen, and his talent could be described as a monster. But the Onmyoji standing in front of Xia Shao could definitely be called a genius if he could reach this level at the age of twenty-seven or eighty-year-old!
Seeing such a rare talent, Xia Shao couldn't help but take a closer look at the onmyoji, and the other person was obviously also taking a look at her. However, Xia Shao usually kept a low profile and was used to restraining her vitality. The other party did not have a clairvoyance to see that she was restrained in her vitality, so he naturally thought that their cultivation levels were at best comparable to each other.
But even so, Abe Shuzhen's eyes still changed slightly. After all, Xia Shao was only twenty years old and her cultivation level was similar to his, which meant that her talent was higher than his.
The two just stared at each other, neither of them saying anything. Instead, Yamato Club and Li Liangjun and the others who came with them looked a little confused. But Toshiro Miyafuji, who was standing next to Hidema Abe, felt a little pressured by people like Li Liangjun and Gong Muyun, so he took the lead in breaking the silence, "Is Miss Xia here to meet our master of Abe Shinto?"
Xia Shao raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, Abe Shinto
"This is our great Onmyoji of Abe Shinto, Master Hideshin Abe." Miyafuji Toshinari said with a long face. He had been studying the Huaxia Group's information in the past few days and also saw some reports on Xia Shao's Feng Shui. He did not expect that she was a Feng Shui master. If the Miyafuji family had not been friends with Abe, he would not have dared to pursue the Chinese market. But now that he has something to rely on, he is naturally not afraid of Hua Xia Group's manipulation of Yamato Corporation's feng shui.
The employees of Yamato Club all held their heads high. They had just been humiliated, and now their eyes could not help but feel the pleasure of winning back a victory. However, they did not see Xia Shao's fearful gaze, but saw her raising her brows and smiling leisurely.
What Xia Shao was laughing at was not Abe Shinto. Abe Shinto is the earliest and oldest Onmyodo sect in Japan. Although it originated in China, it has become its own system in the long-term development. Abe Seimei, the founder of Abe Shinto, is the greatest onmyoji in Japanese history, and his talent is also a rare talent among the Qimen.
But what made Xia Shao smile deeply was Abe's surname.
It sounds like Hidema Abe is an Onmyoji and is most likely a descendant of Abe Seimei, but in fact, Abe Seimei's direct descendants are not surnamed Abe, but Tsuchimikado.
This involves a very long historical origin.
Onmyodo was created by the great onmyoji Abe Seimei during the Heian period. It was not until Abe Seimei's 19th grandson, Abe Yushu, that he was given the title of Tsuchimikado. Since then, the Abe family has changed their surname to Tsuchimikado. After the Meiji Restoration, the new government abolished Onmyoji. Fortunately, many branches of the Abe clan, headed by the Tsuchimikado family, secretly formed the Tsuchimikado Shinto Association, so that the inheritance of Onmyoji was preserved in that era. It was not until the 1950s that Tsuchimikamon Shinto became an official religious legal person according to the draft Constitution on Freedom of Religion, and it exists today as a family school.
The Abe Shinto mentioned by Miyafuji Toshinari is actually Tsuchimikamon Shinto! However, the direct descendants of Abe Shinto should not be named Abe. Hidejin Abe is probably a side branch of the Abe family, not a direct descendant.
"Oh? It turns out he is the Great Onmyoji of Abe Shinto. Nice to meet you." Xia Shao smiled slightly, but the focus of her words fell on the Great Onmyoji. Her smile was intriguing. Only those who have made great achievements in the study of Onmyodo and are highly respected can be called great Onmyojis. This title is equivalent to a dean in the world of metaphysics. Xia Shao is a direct disciple of Xuanmen. She can accept being called a Feng Shui master, but she will never accept being called a master of metaphysics. Talent is one thing, but she is too young to be praised for it.
When Toshinari Miyafuji introduced Hidema Abe in this way, people with a little knowledge would only think it was a compliment to him, while insiders would just laugh after hearing this.
Xia Shao's smile was undoubtedly an insult to the people of Yamato Club. Coupled with her previous announcement to Yamato Club, these people were immediately filled with indignation and said: "Asshole! How dare you be rude to Master Abe!"
Xia Shaoli ignored the clamor of these people, just looked at Miyafuji Toshinari, calmly smiled and said: "President Miyafuji, even if there is a great Onmyoji next to you, please remember my words. Don't be tempted when you shouldn't be. You have to think about where you want to go, otherwise, it won’t be as simple as reaping the consequences.”
After that, Xia Shao turned around and left without looking at these people.
Behind her came Hidema Abe's voice, "Does Master Xia look down on his descendants?"
Xia Shao turned around after hearing this and saw Hidema Abe's cold eyes. He himself had a feminine temperament, but now he was as cold as a snake. Although he is a child from a side branch, his talent is higher than that of his direct descendants. He has been bullied and ridiculed by many direct descendants since he was a child, and he is very concerned about this. Even though he gradually showed his talents, the head of the family attached great importance to him and accepted him as a disciple, making him learn and pass on the art of Yin and Yang. However, this made some of his direct descendants more hostile to him, and also made him more hostile to his direct descendants. Feeling of superiority is disgusting. To Hidema Abe, Xia Shao's smile was no different than ridicule.
Xia Shao's smile was indeed mocking, but it was not a mockery of Abe's sideline origins. Sects with inheritance are indeed very particular about seniority, and the same is true for Xuanmen. Some secret techniques can only be passed down to direct disciples. In fact, this is not discrimination, but is related to the disciple's roots, talent and character. The rules set by Xuanmen since the ancestors put filial piety first and foremost in accepting disciples, which is also the character of mind. The esoteric techniques are not only difficult to learn, but are also extremely destructive. If they are taught to people with evil natures, it is tantamount to harming them. Not all side disciples have problems with their character, most of them have talents that limit their height. But if both character and talent are excellent, there is a natural possibility of being accepted as a direct disciple, such as Wen Ye.
Xia Shao did not look down upon his disciples, but was amused by Hidema Abe's recognition of Toshiro Miyafuji's introduction of him as the "Great Onmyoji".
"Master Abe, I only heard that Abe's Shinto has been passed down for thousands of years, and there are only three people who can be called great onmyojis." Xia Shao didn't say much and stopped at the point. How Hidejin Abe views his background and talent has nothing to do with her.
"I dare not compare with the Great Onmyoji of Abe Shinto, but I can compete with Master Xia!" Abe Xiuzhen obviously understood what Xia Shao said, but the second half of his words made Xia Shao, who had already turned around and was about to leave, Shao paused again.
And just when she paused, a strong aura came from behind her, making Xia Shao's eyes freeze!
When she turned around, a dark force shot out from her hand, and she swiped her back! Li Liangjun, Gong Muyun, Qi Chen, Li Qingyu, Jie Nuo and others standing behind her felt a strong wind blowing in their faces, and they dispersed backwards with a roar!
As soon as they dispersed, a group of people exited with their feet almost touching the ground and spread out in a fan shape. The smile on Gong Muyun's face faltered slightly, and Qi Chen stared at Xia Shao with a dark expression. Li Qingyu also saw that Xia Shao was responsible for this strange thing, and his eyes changed slightly, while Li Liangjun, Jie Nuo and others did not understand at all. I don't know what happened. Geno's smiling expression froze, while Li Liangjun and his old friends were all surprised, and some were even a little scared. And just when a few people dispersed, the pleasant atmosphere in the venue fell into silence. Everyone turned around and looked up, all looking over.
At this time, a large open space was opened in the middle, and Xia Shao stood quietly in the middle, looking forward with cold eyes.
Ahead, Hidema Abe pointed at Xia Shao with a fan in his hand. The side with the moon-shaped pattern on the fan was facing her. All the negative energy in the venue gathered. The temperature where the two of them were standing dropped by several degrees in an instant! The people at Yamato Club who were following Hidema Abe couldn't help but feel chills running down their spines. They thought it was because the air conditioner had been turned down and didn't think much of it. Some people even looked excited. Seeing Hidema Abe declaring war on Xia Shao, they couldn't help but want to see Xia Shao embarrassed in public.
Miyafuji Toshinari just frowned slightly. He knew that it was not appropriate to fight on this occasion today, but Abe Hidejin was not an employee of Yamato Club. He wanted to compete, and even he did not dare to say anything. When he raised his eyes and saw that Old Burton had also noticed the situation here and was walking towards him, he couldn't help but flash his eyes and make a calculation in his heart. It is obviously disrespectful to fight at the auction venue held by the Ladis Group, but it might not be so bad if the Ladis Group can see the power of Yamato Club. Hide Abe is really an onmyoji, and Old Burton may not dare to blame him. The face of Yamato Corporation has been greatly damaged just now. If everyone present knows that Yamato Corporation still has this powerful helping hand, it may be helpful to the company's ambition to regain prosperity in the future.
With this in mind, Miyafuji Toshinari did not stop Hidema Abe. Instead, he signaled to his subordinates and led a group of employees to retreat slowly and make room.
"Master Abe, this is the auction venue. Isn't it appropriate to discuss things here?" Xia Shao looked at Abe Xiuzhen indifferently. The evil spirits gradually gathering around him made her not even move her eyebrows.
But there was an uproar in the venue, and everyone who heard Xia Shao's words was shocked and in an uproar—is this a competition
"I am an onmyoji, not here to participate in the auction. For me, there is no suitable or inappropriate." Abe Shuzhen said, his firm and decisive words and reckless temperament are quite inconsistent with his feminine temperament.
"Onmyoji?" The celebrities in the venue were all surprised. In most people's minds, people like Onmyoji may not be unfamiliar, but they mostly exist in movies and TV dramas, and it is rare to hear that such people exist in reality. In reality, Onmyoji is far less famous than Feng Shui masters. Anyone present knew that Xia Shao was a Feng Shui master, but they didn't expect that there was actually a Japanese Onmyoji in the venue today
Is this because colleagues are extremely jealous when they meet and want to compete on the spot
Some are worried, some are curious, and some are excited. To be honest, everyone present has attended cocktail parties and other events countless times, and some people feel bored. Feng shui masters and onmyoji masters, no matter which one, are mysterious professions in the eyes of everyone. If these two people compete, some people are eager to see the novelty and want to know how they will compete.
Compared to the curiosity of some people, Old Burton felt his head was as big as a bucket, and he quickly pushed through the crowd and walked over. But before he reached it, he heard Hidema Abe say: "It doesn't matter whether he is a direct descendant or a collateral descendant. The real strong are not afraid of challenges!"
