Swallow Back

Chapter 284 Huizhen's common name is Miaoju

A Guo, the previous generation of Izumo Taisha, escaped into Buddhism after leaving office?

It sounds a bit strange, "Izumo Taisha" is obviously a shrine as the name suggests. After resigning from the shrine, the people of the shrine went to Buddhism to become nuns. What happened?

If he had "Long Captain Long Light" on him, Liu Yun could ask questions at any time without worrying about any doubts.But before setting off today, I felt that it was a matter of hand, so I didn't deliberately bring this precious sword.

Don't worry about it, anyway, the other party has been controlled, so just ask questions immediately.

The old nun replied: "After the merger of Izumo Taisha and Alligator Temple 200 years ago, although the former has always been the mainstay, the latter also accounts for one-third of the weight. We should not be lightly insulted or neglected. The risk of losing the tail is too big, so the sages set the rules. The outstanding priests and maidens need to be ordained and become monks and nuns after 20 years of tenure. The arrangement is for the two families to be of one mind, so that there will be no gap."

Hearing this Liuyun was stunned for a while.

The meaning is clear. It is equivalent to merging two companies into one group, and agreeing to conduct regular personnel transfers and exchanges to strengthen the cooperative relationship.

It's just that I didn't expect that in Japan, shrines and Buddhist temples can play like this.

Enterprise mergers and acquisitions are easy to say, after all, they are all for profit. The purpose is the same, but the business is different.

But how did religious institutions merge?

One enshrines 800 million gods, the other worships Buddha and Bodhisattva, and what happens after they become a family?Is it possible to divide it into a single or double week?One, three, five worship your gods, two, four, six worship my Buddha, and have team building parties every week?

Liu Yun couldn't help sighing: "It turns out that shrines and Buddhist temples can be merged."

The old nun gave a relaxed explanation: "What the priests and monks said about the principle of 'the local ancestors should follow the body', the people below don't really care, as long as the way of collecting land rent and doing business remains the same."

This is true.

After all, the religious institutions in Japan are actually both landlords and businessmen, focusing on the management of secular industries, but they don't pay much attention to things like scriptures and ceremonies.

Ishiyama Honganji's Ichiko sect openly claims that he can be liberated by simply reciting "Amitabha Buddha" silently in his heart without any practice. Compared with this, how rare is the combination of shrines and temples?

Following this line of thought, Liu Yun nodded and said, "So, you are the person in charge of doing business in the shrine."

This was just a casual remark, but when the old nun sitting on the floor heard it, she had a look of reminiscing about the past, and sighed faintly: "Alas... before the poor nun officially became a monk, she used dance to serve her. The priestess of the gods, and the chief among the priestesses, was awarded the title of No.30 Seventh Generation 'Izumo Oguni' by Omiyaji... only sent to do business after getting old and fading. Otherwise, otherwise go to My lord, when you saw me, you must have ordered my personal attendant immediately, how could it be like this, cold as ice, and repelling people thousands of miles away, woo woo..."

Speaking of this, the old nun suddenly appeared full of sadness and resentment, and she couldn't help crying in pain.

Liu Yun really did not expect such a development.

In all fairness, although the old nun is not young anymore, she is only 40 to [-] years old by visual estimation. She is well maintained, her face is still fair and fair, and her waist is still soft and well-proportioned.If she will be considered "old and decrepit", it can only show that there are too many lolicons and copper alchemists in Japan in this era, and few people have enough taste to appreciate the charm of mature women.

If it is placed in the 21st century, I don’t know how many brave young people who are not afraid of steel wool will shout "I like you, madam" and "Auntie, I don't want to work hard" all day long!

Of course, it doesn't include Liu Yun, who is upright and restrains himself.

Although he has married more than a dozen beautiful wives and concubines one after another after time travel, and the back house is full of spring flowers, autumn moon, fat, swallows and thin, each winning the special show with a lot of beauty, but all of them are taken in out of a sense of responsibility to take care of everyone, and not It's not some vulgar "disease of the widow".

Sprinkling rain and dew every day is just to complete what should be done. Of course, I am still very satisfied physically, but I always keep calm in my heart, not blindly indulging in vulgar desires and joys.

In short, Liu Yun didn't feel much about the old nun's flirtatious gesture. (This quality is not even considered medium in my own home)

What concerned him was the title just now.

"You call me Master Shangshi?" Liu Yun rubbed his chin and asked, "Do you know who I am?"

"The poor nun doesn't know." The old nun knelt down, touched her forehead to the ground, raised her buttocks, and replied respectfully: "But just now, the poor nun was trying to release the spell, but you easily used the same source and a higher-level spell." This is enough to prove that you must be the envoy sent by the Lord God of the Great Country!"

What the hell is this "same origin but superior"...

In other words, because the bewitching power in my body comes from the same source as the other party, and is superior, it can exert a stronger effect and control this powerful nun. Is this what it means?

With Liu Yun's knowledge of mysticism, he couldn't figure out the reason, but he didn't care too much.

Anyway, it was a surprise to control the old nun who was in charge.

Liu Yun dismissed redundant thoughts, and finally asked: "What should I call you?"

The old nun lay motionless on the ground, twisted her waist a few times, and said in a coquettish voice, "The poor nun's dharma name is 'Huizhen', but the dharma name is too ugly... After becoming a witch and getting the title of 'A country' Before, the common name used by poor nuns was 'Miaoju'..."

Liu Yun nodded, and ordered the "Miaoju" of this half-aged lady to cooperate with Yizhi, Azaji and the others to take [-] virgins who were sold as goods off the ship and put them on the opposite side. Settle well on the island.He also ordered that we must ensure that we have enough food and clothing, that sanitary conditions cannot be ignored, and that we should find ways to arrange medical treatment for those who are sick or injured.

It is only fitting that this matter should be mainly in charge of Asagi Ikawa, who has a strong sense of justice.

Nun Huizhen, nicknamed Miaoju, learned that Ashaji was Liuyun's concubine wife, and she respected her very much, not daring to neglect her in the slightest.

There were more than 100 members of the chamber of commerce on the six boats. They all seemed suspicious and unconvinced when they saw a strange young man who became a distinguished guest and was respectfully called "Master Envoy" by his superiors, but no one expressed it.

Probably because nun Huizhen had accumulated too much power, no one dared to disobey her.

After explaining this matter, Liu Yun immediately went to Yaodao Ji's captain, Captain Guang, and asked what the so-called "same source but superior method" was.

However, Yaodao Ji is also very puzzled: "The Izumo Taisha Shrine enshrines the God of Kunitsu, and the power in the owner's body comes from Buddhism. In any case, there should be no saying of the same origin. Maybe you cut the Lanshe at the Shosoin of Todaiji Temple in Nara While staying, I got entangled with the Nine-Tailed Fox, and the power in my body changed. If there is any connection between the Nine-Tailed Fox and the God of Guojin, it probably dates back to before Xu Fu's journey to the east, which is beyond Yu's knowledge."

Hearing this, Liuyun thought, should he go to Izumo Taisha Shrine to find out about this issue before returning to Kinki to talk to Oda Nobunaga?

Although it doesn't seem necessary, but inside I always feel a little uneasy. -----PV1 reader 1563893925

Chapter 285 The Resonance of Izumo Taisha Shrine

Liu Yun is not a person who likes to procrastinate, Dang even got up and went to Izumo Taisha, wanting to see the details.

Anyway, I have already made plans to go to Kinki to find Oda Nobunaga to talk about the past, and it is very convenient to follow the northern sea route.

It just so happened that the old nun Huizhen—or Ms. Miaoju, who was a half-aged lady—would also like to return to Izumo Taisha, so she could be a temporary companion.

So Liu Yun ordered Azaji and others to place [-] children on Tsushima Island, and then set off after tidying up casually.

Seeing him taking a glamorous and overly enthusiastic nun on the road with him, the female relatives must have complained in their hearts.However, this time, it was for a legitimate and important matter, so naturally, he couldn't tolerate it.

Only Yizhi can transform into a sword and follow Liuyun like her grandmother.

The demon sword girl "Long Captain Changguang" said that Yizhi was afraid that her old enemies would come to her, and Yizhi would not be able to protect herself without the power to restrain her.As for the situation of this former enemy, he did not explain it to outsiders in detail.

In short, Liu Yun recognized this statement, and the others only had room for envy, jealousy and hatred.

Departing from Tsushima Island, through a [-]-kilometer long waterway, to the commercial port in Shimane County in the eastern part of Izumo, the weather and wind direction along the way are considered to be very smooth.

Liuyun on the road had already had some verbal exchanges with nun Huizhen who insisted on using the name "Miaoju", and knew the general situation here.

In Izumo Country, although the agricultural products are not abundant, the roads are rough, and there is not much commercial value in itself, but after all, it is in the hub position where the east and west routes meet, and it is inevitable for passing ships to stop and rest every day.Coupled with the fact that there are several good-quality iron mines around, it is enough to attract a lot of attention.

Therefore, these conditions support a small commercial port that is small in scale but well-equipped with all internal organs, and there are not many people coming and going.

However, the nearby land was ruled by the Nizi family for a long time before it was invaded by the Maori family more than ten years ago.People in Kansai are generally nostalgic and have a strong sense of locality. They still miss the old masters, and from time to time there will be rebellions by the old and the young.

The most famous is Yamanaka Shikasuke, known as the "Izumo Deer".

This guy is strong in martial arts, flexible in mind and good at communication. He launched a massive "Renaissance Army" three times. At the peak, there were nearly [-] people at one time. It almost made the Nizi family come back. It took more than ten years. Killed by Motoharu Yoshikawa of the Mori family.

The Mori family may have had a psychological shadow. Recently, the Izumo area has been extremely strictly controlled, and heavy soldiers have been sent to guard all major traffic arteries and important places to check everyone.Especially now that they are fighting against the Oda family on the front line, let alone cause problems in the rear.

Both the port and the shrine are on the watch list.

As a religious organization with a long history, Izumo Taisha still retains the privilege of "no input, no input" under the rule of the Maori family, but it must also cooperate with the management of the Maori family accordingly.

Otherwise, not to mention keeping privileges, it is not certain whether property can be kept.

——The nun Huizhen who insisted on calling herself "Miaoju" said these things in order to remind Liu Yun that as a stranger, he should pay attention to hiding his whereabouts and not to reveal them easily, so as not to cause unreasonable disasters.

Although I am not afraid of the soldiers of the Mori family, after all, it is very troublesome to solve it. One thing more is worse than one thing less.

How to hide it?

The nun bravely suggested that Liu Yun should pretend to be her new dewy lover and try to stay by her side instead of going out.

Liu Yun felt that there was nothing wrong with this, and did not feel that his dignity was damaged.

He really didn't want to waste time getting involved with the Maori family.

I just couldn't help but spit out: "It seems that you have returned from business trips with your facial hair so many times that the people around you won't be surprised."

The nun was not shy when she heard the words, she twisted her waist and smiled obsequiously, and said cheekily: "I didn't meet the envoy before, so I spent money everywhere looking for a fair man to come and have fun. Now that I have you, the poor nun has been tortured both physically and mentally." Filled to the brim, no more attracting bees and butterflies."

Liu Yun didn't bother to pay attention to her, so he glanced over angrily.

The nun, however, reacted violently as if she had received an electric shock all over her body. She tensed her hands and feet, trembled and moaned, her expression could not tell whether it was pain or happiness, and she murmured in a low voice, "My lord, your angry eyes are so wonderful..."

Seeing this, Liu Yun was really angry, and ordered her not to do anything wrong.

Although the nun was in high spirits, she didn't dare to disobey the order in the slightest, and tried to calm down, but her expression was extremely resentful.

It seems that the saying "from the same source" is really reasonable, the effect of mind control is really powerful.

So the two came out in pairs.

After disembarking the ship and arriving at the port, I briefly counted the accounts, and then took another carriage to Izumo Taisha Shrine.

Sure enough, along the road, there were three raids by the Maori family's army.

However, the soldiers' equipment was messy and the formation was loose, and their discipline seemed to be quite lax. The leading generals were not very serious, and they were completely coping with the errands.

The last officer laughed and joked: "Master Huizhen used to bring three or five little boys back every time, and whipped and abused them like cattle and horses. Today, there is not only one person but also the treatment is completely different. See This kid must have great strengths!"

At that time, the nun immediately made a "you understand" expression.

And Liu Yun didn't feel offended, he just turned a deaf ear and didn't change his expression.

Apart from this small episode, there is no other plot along the way.

Izumo Taisha Shrine is very close to the port of Shimane, and it takes less than an hour to arrive.

Nun Huizhen, who insisted on calling herself "Miaoju", gave a general introduction of the millennium-long history of the company, as well as the current business situation.

Liu Yun only heard some running accounts, but had no real gains.

Even Changguang, who is in the shape of a sword, could not come to a conclusion after carefully listening to the worship list of Guojin God.

So in the end, I only know that the Izumo Taisha is now very powerful, with a total of six to seven hundred priests, witches, monks, and nuns under its jurisdiction, thousands of handymen and servants, countless tenant farmers and apprentices, more than ten thousand stones in real estate, and one hundred thousand business transactions every year. Pass left and right.

It is not surprising that such a large stall occupies at least a dozen hectares of land at the confluence of two natural rivers.

Liuyun sat on the same sedan chair as the nun, followed the caravan into the gate, and could see the lively scene of people coming and going.

The nun Huizhen who insisted on calling herself "Miaoju" seemed to be really high-ranking. The house was deep in the shrine, and everyone she met along the way greeted her very attentively.

At the same time, they are also a little cautious.

This may be due to the nun's usually harsh personality?

What Liu Yun is concerned about is that since he entered the torii gate, he has indeed vaguely felt that there is something resonating with the power in his body in the direction north of the center of the shrine.This resonance was extremely weak at first, and gradually became stronger as we moved forward.

He ordered the nun to lead the way.

The latter obeyed naturally.

The handymen immediately changed their route, did not go to the residential area to rest, but carried the sedan chair to the main hall of the shrine.
