If you want to learn spells, you must first have the ability to see ghosts.
This is a barrier that cannot be overcome no matter what.
If you can't see ghosts, no matter how talented you are, you will eventually be unable to learn spells and become an Onmyoji.
This is a well-established fact in the world of magic.
However, there are only a handful of Onmyoji embryos in this world that can see ghosts. Except for those children of famous aristocratic families who have talents almost every generation due to genetics, among ordinary people, it is difficult to give birth to an embryo with the ability to see ghosts. For talented people, it cannot be said that it is impossible, it is just that it is really difficult.
In this regard, it is the same as the Chaldean magic family. Only the bloodline with a long history can better inherit the mystery. It is difficult for ordinary people to have a person with magic circuits.
The reason why Luo Zhen has the ability to see ghosts is, on the one hand, because he has practiced magic and can sense vitality and spiritual energy. On the other hand, it is also because he has the skill of "spiritual vision". Under the influence of hearing and seeing, he can gradually rely on it to See through the aura.
And Natsume happens to be the type who has the talent to see ghosts, which is why he was adopted by the Tsuchimikado family.
On the contrary, the son of the branch family, Natsume's sworn brother, Harutora in Luo Zhen's mouth, was obviously born in the Tsuchimikado clan of the Onmyoji clan, but he did not have the talent to see ghosts, which was an anomaly.
Maybe it's because Harutora can't see ghosts that the Separation family wants to adopt Natsume
After all, if there is someone to inherit the main family, there must be someone to inherit the family if it is divided.
There is no doubt that Natsume will definitely continue to separate the family in the future.
In this case, learning spells has become a necessity for Natsume.
However, Natsume doesn't seem to like learning spells very much.
No, saying that I don't like it is a bit too exaggerated. It should be said that I am afraid of the unknown, so I subconsciously dodge it.
However, Natsume's sense of responsibility and self-esteem are quite different from his fear of strangers.
"I...I'm already planning to ask my mother to teach me spells in the near future!"
Natsume mustered up the courage to say so.
"Yeah?"
Luo Zhen raised his eyebrows somewhat.
Luo Zhen had already prepared for Natsume to learn spells sooner or later and would not be surprised by this.
However, Natsume was able to make up his mind so quickly, which was somewhat beyond Luo Zhen's expectations.
"You don't have to force yourself." Luo Zhen gave rare advice: "Generally speaking, although each family of spells will start to train their descendants from an early age so that they can lay a solid foundation, but considering the profoundness of the spells, their age You won’t be able to learn anything if you are too young, so it’s not too late to learn spells after you are ten years old, right?”
Hearing this, Natsume said this: "But dad said that Qiuguan, you started learning spells when you were two years old. It has been several years now, so you must have learned a lot."
"Are you comparing yourself to me?" Luo Zhen rolled his eyes and said, "I am an exception."
Just kidding, Luo Zhen is not really a little devil, he can't even study.
Rather, it would be better to say that Luo Zhen loves to study. Studying well and learning well are Luo Zhen’s life goals.
Of course, Luo Zhenkai began to learn spells when he was two years old, and Tsuchimikado Yasumi's factors are not without him.
Generally speaking, even aristocratic families will wait until their children are around ten years old before starting to teach them spells. However, Tsuchimikado Taishun asked Luo Zhen to learn spells after he became sensible. From an outsider's point of view, it is no longer strict, but Was it abuse
For various reasons, Luo Zhen calls himself an exception.
But Natsume still said that.
"Then...then I have to make an exception."
Natsume seemed a little stubborn.
This gave Luo Zhen a headache.
In fact, Natsume is a very introverted and well-behaved girl. She usually does not disobey others. She often listens to the mercy of Luo Zhen and Harutora and follows two stinky men around. However, instead of complaining, she actually Still looking very happy.
But sometimes, Natsume can become extremely stubborn.
When Natsume becomes like this, no matter what others say, she won't listen.
Under such circumstances, Luo Zhen could only say this.
"Is that okay with you?"
Luo Zhen had to ask.
You know, learning spells is no joke.
If someone is not good enough and causes problems with his spiritual energy, he may be like Luo Zhen and end up with a weak body for the rest of his life. That would be fun.
Unfortunately, Natsume seems to have decided.
"Dad said that we are members of a separate family and our family needs us."
Natsume spoke so softly.
"We are destined to become the shikigami of our family."
Yes.
God formula.
In Tsuchimikado, the person who separates the family will become the shikigami of the person in the family. This is a tradition from ancient times and is also a family rule.
Although shikigami generally refer to some kind of spiritual existence, such as monsters, demons, ghosts, monsters and the like, in modern times, with the development of "Onmyojitsu", not only artificial shikigami have appeared in the industry Gods, some people will choose to become other people's shikigami and serve them like their masters.
The Tsuchimikado family has a rule that the person who separates the family must become the shikigami of the family and must not be disobedient.
Because of this family rule, Natsume's parents are Tsuchimikado Yasumi's shikigami and have always served him. This is one of the reasons why Tsuchimikado's main family and the branch family have always been in the same spirit.
That's what they say, but in this era, there are very few people who will abide by such uncivilized family rules.
For example, Harutora, that idiot never considered the affairs between the main family and the branch family. He lived like a wild boy every day and was extremely happy.
This is also the reason why Harutora can't see ghosts.
If you can't become an onmyoji, then even if you become a shikigami, you will still be an errand boy. No one requires such a person to be your shikigami.
Luo Zhen also never thought about wanting Natsume or Harutora to become his shikigami.
Who told him that he was not the legitimate son of the Tsuchimikado family
Like Natsume, he was adopted.
However, Tsuchimikado Yasumi has never announced this matter, and for some unknown reason, he is planning to pass all the Tsuchimikado family's family business to Luo Zhen, an outsider. Luo Zhen has not figured this out yet.
But this is Tsuchimikado Taishun's approach, and there is no need for Luo Zhen to follow it.
At worst, when it comes time to inherit the family business, I'll just run away.
Luo Zhen had always planned this.
Not so with Natsume.
"Since it is a family rule, you must abide by it."
Natsume stared at Luo Zhen, her eyes a little wet and made a sound.
"I want to learn spells, become an Onmyoji, and then serve you as Qiuguan's shikigami."
After leaving such words, Natsume's pretty face turned red, as if she had said something very shy, she lowered her head and ran away.
Luo Zhen stopped and watched Natsume leave blankly. After a while, he murmured with a strange expression on his face.
"Isn't the kid a bit older?"
This is Luo Zhen's only thought.
