The modern curse technique prohibited all research related to the soul, and the root cause was the historical event caused by Luminous Light.
Because of the general idea of "not knowing whether the soul really exists," the research on the "unknown" will eventually lead to the occurrence of a catastrophe, which led to it becoming a taboo. That was the general understanding of the public.
In the industry, the reason why Mount Taishan Prefect Ceremony would cause a great spiritual disaster came from Miyazaki's explanation.
Because "spirit" was also formed from "qi", the great spell that Luminous Light used to manipulate "spirit" caused the "qi" of nature to be greatly affected. In the end, it caused the spiritual veins in Tokyo to be completely disrupted, which led to the frequent spiritual disasters. This was the understanding of the people in the industry.
But even so, could Yin-Yang Hall prohibit Onmyojis from touching "Ki"?
The world was formed by "Ki," and everything in the world was full of Spiritual Qi. Even the curse power used by Onmyojis needed to convert Spiritual Qi. If Onmyojis were prohibited from touching "Ki," then all Onmyojis and all human beings would be committing a crime.
In view of that, it eventually became a somewhat ambiguous practice of "prohibiting the research on soul curse technique."
And since the boundary was so ambiguous, it was naturally difficult to judge what was considered as touching the boundary.
With that, it was difficult to say whether it was a crime with the permission of the royal family, which led to the birth of the Spirit Guard Division, and the research on Spirit Guard became possible.
After all, Rozen could say that he was studying "Ki" instead of "soul," right?
It was the same situation now.
If Rozen really carried out the Emperor-style Mount Tai Prefect Ceremony, he wouldn't be able to escape the blame no matter what, because that was something that was explicitly forbidden. Yin-Yang Hall had the right to fully investigate the matter that caused a catastrophe.
But Rozen only carried out the Mount Taishan Prefect Ceremony, which was passed down from generation to generation in the Earth Royal Family. Even if he summoned a human's spirit, it could be said that he collected the human's residual Spiritual Qi.
The research on "Ki" did not mean the research on "soul."
That was why the royal family allowed the existence of the Spirit Guard Division, and the existence of the Mount Taishan Prefect Ceremony.
That was why Rozen mentioned it.
"Otherwise, if just summoning a spirit is considered a taboo, then all Onmyojis who have a naturally formed Spirit-branded Shikigami are considered a taboo. Is that okay?"
Rozen firmly grasped the initiative in his hands and questioned the three highest authorities in the field.
It was natural that they would be speechless.
Because that was the truth.
"Presumably, the three of you didn't call me here to convict me, but you're worried about the Mount Tai Prefect Ceremony, right?"
Rozen said in a relaxed tone.
"Don't worry, the Mount Tai Prefect Ceremony that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Earth Imperial Gate is very stable. It's just summoning spirits, not manipulating souls, and it won't have a huge impact on the Spirit Vein. This has been proven for thousands of years, isn't it?"
He no longer mentioned that the three of them were worried about him because he was Night Light's reincarnation, so they were worried about him getting in touch with Mount Tai Prefect Ceremony.
"In addition, I also want to remind you a little."
As if remembering something, Rozen smiled at Genji Kurahashi, Virtuous Amami, and Miyazaki Minato.
"Suzuru is my Spirit-branded Shikigami. Her research on Mount Taishan Prefect Ceremony is also based on her desire to contribute to the Earth Imperial Clan. Perhaps it is because she is an expert in Emperor Style, so she came into contact with Mount Taishan Prefect Ceremony in Emperor Style, but she didn't intend to implement it. Please punish her accordingly."
Rozen said such a big lie.
"Suzuru is your Spirit-branded Shikigami?"
Amami Umoto was surprised.
"Really?"
Miyabi Minato was also surprised.
"Contribute to the Earth Imperial Clan?"
Genji Kurahashi frowned.
Obviously, the three of them didn't expect such a thing to happen.
Of course, this time Rozen turned the truth upside down.
But …
"I know that the Curse Search Department must have found evidence that Suzuru studied Mount Taishan Prefect Ceremony, but she didn't implement it. Please punish her accordingly."
At this point, Rozen finally said something serious.
It was conceivable that Rozen was confident that he could get away with the Mount Taishan Prefect Ceremony, so he didn't worry too much about it. But Suzuru's contact with the Taboo was conclusive evidence, and Rozen couldn't erase the fact that it happened, so he could only choose to defend himself as much as possible.
In this way, even if Suzuru was really convicted, her crime would be reduced to a minimum.
As long as he said that she came into contact with Mount Taishan Prefect Ceremony for the Earth Imperial Clan, then because of the blurred line, it should be impossible to be convicted immediately.
As for the lie that Suzuru was Rozen's Spirit-branded Shikigami, that would not be exposed.
The reason was simple.
"I have a Spirit-branded Shikigami contract with Suzuru, and we have already established a spiritual connection. It shouldn't be difficult to see that, right?"
Rozen shrugged and said so.
That's right.
Rozen had already made a Spirit-branded Shikigami contract with Suzuru.
Just when he proposed the conditions at the foot of the Imperial Mountain.
So, that lie would not be exposed.
Of course, Suzuru herself signed a Spirit-branded Shikigami contract with Rozen in a confused situation, and the situation at that time didn't allow Suzuru to think about the problem calmly. As a result, Rozen succeeded. It was better not to say that.
As a result, in the face of the three people in charge of Yin-Yang Hall, Rozen successfully passed the difficulty with his glib tongue.
Senji Kurahashi just bowed his head in silence, and after a while, he said calmly.
"We have received your testimony. We will conduct a rigorous review of this incident and give you a satisfactory answer."
That was the final decision Senji Kurahashi made.
"The interrogation of Suzuru will continue for a while, and we will come to a conclusion as soon as possible. As for you, you can leave at any time."
Senji Kurahashi said so.
"Thank you."
Rozen nodded in satisfaction, glanced at Miyazaki, then turned around and walked out of the director's office.
Only the three people in charge of Yin-Yang Hall were left.
"I didn't expect the rumored reincarnation of Night Light to be so clever and eloquent. The younger generation will surpass us in time."
Dayoshi Amami didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't feel the slightest bit unhappy about being defeated by Rozen. Instead, it was as if he had opened his eyes and was quite happy.
"… The younger generation will surpass us in time."
Miyazaki recalled the last glance Rozen gave him before he left, and understood that he might have been seen through to a certain extent, and let out a sigh.
"Qiu Guan of Earth Imperial Gate …"
Senji Kurahashi looked in the direction Rozen left, and no one knew what he was thinking.
