I accidentally died yesterday [comprehensive]

Someone in the car asked casually, "Is it really useful?"

"Humans always want to get something when they worship gods."

"Is it really useful to worship such a fictional god?"

The tour guide thought for a while and replied, "I don't know. After all, I don't know if it's a coincidence or a gift from the gods. Anyway, it's amazing."

Mrs. Yongji rolled her eyes and looked at the tour guide: "Something?"

The tour guide said, "Yes."

"For example, a student who repeated his studies for three years and wanted to be admitted to Kyoto University, after worshiping the fairy, his dream came true."

"There is also a couple whose four-year-old daughter disappeared, and returned home after disappearing for a day and a night."

"You also know that it is basically difficult to rescue a child who has been missing for 24 hours."

"There is also a couple who have been infertile for many years. They have been to many hospitals and abroad for treatment, but nothing has worked..."

Mr. Yongji coughed twice with fisted palms, and inadvertently interrupted the tour guide: "How far is the Sendai Museum from here?"

The tour guide said: "There are still 10 minutes."

Mr. Yongji said: "Then let's..."

But I heard Mrs. Yongji on the side emphasizing: "Please find a place to park."

Mr. Yongji pressed his wife's shoulder with his backhand: "What are you doing?"

Mrs. Yongji smiled, very gentle and beautiful: "I want to try it."

Mr. Yongji frowned tightly: "Don't do this, this kind of thing is accidental and coincidental, and existing science can't explain them—you can't pin your hopes on miracles."

Mrs. Yongji replied: "What if."

She told the tour guide to stop near here, and she wanted to get out of the car to have a look. Before she opened the car door and left, Mrs. Yongji told Mr. Yongji: "Gods have given miracles to mankind."

wow——

The blizzard outside rushed in.

Mrs. Yongji walked towards the park step by step.

Mr. Yongji gritted his teeth and got out of the car. Before leaving, he apologized and asked Kurokawa to trouble him to go to the museum alone for the time being. Kurokawa said it was okay, and he would contact the teacher then.

Mr. Yongji nodded and followed Mrs. Yongji in two or three steps. He hugged Mrs. Yongji's shoulders tightly and opened his coat to let his wife hide from the wind and snow under his clothes.

The tour guide saw this scene from the left-view mirror, and kept feeling: "Their relationship is so good, brother, shall we go?"

"Well, please excuse me."

Just as Kurokawa finished speaking, Kiemon grabbed his clothes. Kurokawa lowered his head and saw Kiemon mouthing him.

[There is God. 】

Heichuan raised his head, and glanced at the teacher and the others who had gone away in the rearview mirror calmly. He thought that there would be no problem.

Teacher Yongji had already contacted friends here when he first arrived in Sendai. After all, Japan is such a big place that some scholars who often participate in various historical research conferences can always meet.

In a few sentences, there will be friendship.

Today, Kurokawa is visiting the curator of the museum. In addition to some historical relics, there will be some original ancient books and classics here. Kurokawa and the others are here this time to borrow some photocopied manuscripts.

Pets are not allowed here, Kiemon jumped into the snowdrift to have fun by himself, Kurokawa entered the museum and found the staff to contact the curator.

The curator has snow-white hair, an intellectual smell of books, and glasses on the bridge of his nose. When he learned that Teacher Yongji was absent suddenly, he was very sorry that he hadn't seen him. Kurokawa comforted him and said that the teacher would come soon after finishing the matter. Visiting, the curator is not so sad.

The curator had long known of Kurokawa's intentions, so he took Kurokawa into the inner room to help him find information.

The north of Honshu Island, commonly known as the Tohoku region, was named Mutsu in ancient times, but it has been divided into several counties in modern times, namely Fukushima, Miyagi, and Iwate.

Teachers Kurokawa and Nagayoshi deliberately chose Sendai City, the center of Miyagi, because of the geographical location of Sendai. Let’s not say that this place used to belong to Mutsu where Ainu people were detained. After investigation, here is the economic and cultural center of the Northeast, so it is not very convenient to get any materials.

Kurokawa picked out a few materials prepared by the curator at random, and glanced at them casually.

They came this time to explore the lost cultural life of the Ainu people.

The Ainu people, originally a native of the Honshu Island around the first year of AD, were rooted in other regions and traveled across the ocean to live on the Honshu Island. They are racially different from the Yamato people.

Originally lived in various places in all directions of Honshu Island. Later, with the prosperity of the Yamato tribe, the Ainu tribe gradually lost to the enemy and were expelled to the northeast region.

So far, the history of the Ainu people has been excavated quite thoroughly.

In the middle of the fifth century, the king of Yamato was about to send troops to attack overseas, and the Ainu people took the opportunity to set off a rebellion. In the seventh century, in order to suppress the Ainu people, the emperor worshiped the king of the country at Miwa Mountain.

Heichuan vaguely remembers the legend of Sanlun Mountain that Monk Otomo told him—a memory hundreds of years ago. It is said that the gods worshiped at Sanlun Mountain have changed again and again. Then it is said that the Great Lord God and the Great Country Zhuming are one.

That's a mess.

But Otomo had the mentality of gossip at the time.

He told Kurokawa that snakes in the fields are a symbol of harvest and joy.

But that's not the case in some places.

For example, in the original myth, didn’t Susano obtain the Kusanagi Sword after beheading Yamata no Orochi... Many local monuments have also shown traces of snake elephant worship.

Otomo said at the time: "Snakes are not just snakes."

"The snake may be the most primitive god, but... died in the battle with the gods of Gaotianyuan, and was killed by Susanoo's life... Hehe, but this is not on the table Interesting news, it’s just a rough listen.”

In the story of Sanlun Mountain.

The most primitive snake gods were replaced by the form of the Great Owner God, and then by the form of the Great Country Lord.

Kurokawa was interested when he saw this place, isn't this the Age of God?

The gods replace, the gods replace.

He continued to look down again.

In the eighth century, the Ainu rebelled again and was suppressed by Sakaue Tamura Maro. This person is the first generation of general who conquered the barbarians... This name may be unfamiliar, but Tokugawa Ieyasu is probably familiar with it. Back then When Tokugawa Ieyasu took over the throne, he thought the title was not loud enough, and he kept refusing to formally take up the post of shogun. Later, the emperor bestowed the title of Great General, and it was justified, and the shogun officially started beautifully.

In the shogunate era before Tokugawa, such as the generals of Kamakura and Muromachi, they all received this title, which is a very honorable pendant title.

After the suppression, the emperor drove these Ainu immigrants to the northeast, and at the same time sent officials to suppress them. In addition, he also sent people to choose a leader from the Ainu people to govern the ethnic group-it is a pity that this The trick doesn't work, the Ainu people are aggressive by nature, and they don't obey the leader's discipline at all, and there are often fights.

Heichuan flipped through a few pages again, he read quickly.

In the eighth century, the Heian period was relatively turbulent. Some bandits specialized in robbing horses appeared between Tokaido and Higashiyama. Both Tokaido and Higashiyama were in the north of Honshu Island, far away from Heian-kyo, and difficult to govern.The bandits robbed the horses of Tokaido and then transported them to Dongshando for sale. Although there were horse dealers in this, there were also many Ainu people who were active.

All in all, the jurisdiction of the Ainu people has become more and more stringent, and their living environment has gradually been driven to the northern desolate area.

For example, Mutsu, which is the north of today's Fukushima, Miyagi, Iwate, Aomori and other places.

There are traces of Ainu survival.

After moving this nation to the north, it became a prison for prisoners. Many criminals who committed serious crimes were exiled here to survive. The imperial court also set up a special official position to guard, accept and inherit this position. It is the Abe family.

That is, the family of Onmyoji Abe Seimei.

Kurokawa rubbed his eyes when he saw this.

It's really interesting...

At this time, the curator came in with two glasses of water, letting Heichuan moisten his throat and rest for a while.

The curator saw that Kurokawa had a lot of books piled up in his hand, and knew that he had read a lot of materials about the Ainu people, so the thought of speaking also came up in his heart.

"Yongji, the target of your visit this time, has already told me."

"I'm here to explore the culture of the Ainu people."

Kurokawa nodded yes.

The curator said casually: "The Einu people are primitive cultures. They have not yet developed a more civilized social system. They follow the tribal system, and their culture is as aggressive as their characters. Even their religion is also affected, such as their bears. god."

"The Einu people's way of offering sacrifices to the gods is very...naked."

The curator smiled: "Humans worship the gods to get something. This statement can be compared with the Ainu people. The Ainu people worship the gods to eat the meat of the gods."

"They worship their own tribal god, the bear god, every year. After the worship, they bring the whole clan, old and young, to kill the bear god and eat his flesh and blood. In order to hope for a good harvest in the coming year."

"Bear God."

"After death, the soul returns to the sky, but in the coming year, it will still be born among the Ainu tribe and dedicate its own flesh and blood."

Kurokawa nodded. There is nothing he doesn't understand. Human beings pray to the gods for a good harvest, money, and health...but the Einou people are more thorough, and they only pray for flesh and blood.

The curator continued: "However, the bear gods of the Ainu have disappeared from this nation... Oh no, it can't be said to have disappeared. After the decline, they are rarely seen. Now you can still see many of them in places such as Aomori and Hokkaido. People claim to be descendants of the Ainu tribe, but nowadays there are very few pure-blood descendants.”

"Most of them died long ago in the generational cleansing."

"When the race dies, the religion that worships the faith naturally also declines."

Kurokawa asked while pointing to Abe Yori on the book, "Is this Abe family and Abe Seimei the same family?"

The curator looked at it: "Do you have doubts about this?"

"Ah."

The curator continued: "There should be a kinship relationship in blood."

"The Abe clan in the Heian period all came from an earlier clan named Abe clan."

The curator slapped his head, "I should put it another way."

"A long time ago, there were no surnames on the island of Honshu, only clans. At that time, the emperor did not call himself the emperor, but called himself the king and the king."

"At that time, there were several important families on Honshu Island, namely Monobe, Soga, Otomo, and Abe."

The curator said: "Monobe and Suga, you should understand."

Kurokawa nodded.

He has traveled through all ages, and his belief in gods is the most obvious.

The modern gods and Buddhas are one, and the people believe in the ancient Shinto as well as the Buddhist way. However, because of various animations, comics, novels and movies, it is obvious that the individual gods of the ancient Shinto are much better than the Buddhas of the Buddha. On the other hand, Shinto is still more popular.

However, when he traveled to the Warring States Period for the first time, Kurokawa found that Buddhism and Taoism were more popular than ancient Shinto. The daimyo would hand over young and non-inherited descendants to temples to raise them, and at the same time receive the most basic cultural education.

The most prosperous religion among the people is the Yixiang sect. Everyone shouts the Buddha's name and recites the Buddha's gatha, hoping to become a Buddha after death. At this time, the power of Buddhism is so great that it can shake a city or a country at will.

In the Edo period, the status of registered monks was equivalent to that of samurai, and they were quite prestigious. Ordinary people could not afford expensive aristocratic education, so they sent their children to temple houses run by temples, that is, schools for arithmetic, business, and strategy. study.

Time travel to the Muromachi period for the second time.

He witnessed with his own eyes that the Hojo clan, the ruler of Muromachi, confiscated the world's treasures. They were not used to make weapons or appease the samurai, but enshrined them in temples to pray for the blessings of gods and Buddhas.

Later, when the North and South were classified, the Emperor Nantian took the three artifacts out of the palace, so Ise Jingu had to go south with him, but it was a pity that it was the Emperor Beitian who won the final victory, and Ise Jingu was defeated.

Buddhism flourished.

The reason why Buddhism can play such a powerful role on Honshu Island is that it originated from a dispute between gods and Buddhas in the fifth century.

The two ends are divided between the Soga family and the Monobe family. Soga Mazi respects Buddhism because they are the Dulai family from North Korea. Traditional ancient Shinto beliefs, so they have endless disputes with the Suga clan.

In the end, the king chose Buddhism, so the Soga clan prospered, while the Monobe clan declined.

Of course, the story did not end here. Later, one of the remnants of the Monobe clan named Nakatomi Kamazu joined forces with a prince to kill the leader of the Soga clan. The situation was reversed, and Soga fell into dust.

And this one named Nakatomi Kamazu was later given the surname Fujiwara, the ancestor of the Fujiwara family who was in power during the Heian period.

Monobe, Nakatomi, Fujiwara.

Although after 500 years, I don't know how many times I changed my name and surname, but the power is still passed on in this family.

Later, because of political turmoil, the Fujiwara family gradually split into other families such as Kujo, and they are now also a famous family in this country.

There is a line in Conan's animation, "The prime minister's son is still the prime minister."

It can be seen that this country has been passed down for thousands of years, but most of the time the power transfer is just between these famous families.

It's no wonder that the Warring States period was called the "down to overcome" era regardless of one's background.

In this era, the sons of farmers who are reckless and insignificant can become masters.

The curator said: "As for Otomo and the Abe clan, people nowadays probably don't remember what these two families did."

"I heard that the textbook reform in some counties only teaches the content after the government reform in the 19th century."

After that, the curator smiled again.

"However, maybe a few people have heard the story of Abe Nakamaro as a bedtime chat."

Kurokawa said: "...The Tale of Taketori has Abe's name appearing."

The curator smiled and said: "Indeed, the most familiar deed of Abe to people nowadays should be that Master Abe, who appeared in the Tale of Taketori, wanted to marry Kaguya Hime, and Kaguya Hime asked for the fire mouse fur."

"Look, Abe was asked for the fire mouse fur in the Tale of Bamboo Tori, and Abe's direct descendant, the Abe family, became the Onmyoji family, and their descendants, Gomonin, have always adhered to the way of Yin and Yang. Isn't this amazing. "

Kurokawa thought, there is something even more wonderful.

At the end of the sixteenth century, he and Otomo went to deal with Xu's immortal body. He once found a bronze tripod that told about sacrifices.

Around that time, Otomo told him about the secrets of gods descended from heaven in the Heian period.

It is said that several treasures descended from the sky and were sent to different dignitaries.

Among them was a piece called Fire Rat Fur, which entered Abe's hands.

This should have been a secret.

But at the end of the tenth century, an author with an unknown name and no way to verify it wrote a story, which is the oldest story, Taketori Monogatari, in which it describes how Master Abe obtained the fire mouse fur.

Afterwards, the Abe family changed its name and surname, and a direct blood line divided into two Abe Abe families.

Then the Abe family worked silently, inherited the status of the Kamo family in the Onmyoji, and became the leading Onmyoji family, and a great Onmyoji like Abe Seimei appeared.

Afterwards, the Abe family adhered to Yin-Yang Dao, and one branch developed a new Yin-Yang art called "Inugami Method" for Izanagi-ryu.

The dog god method is the spell possessed by a person. To cast the spell, a dog must be tortured with an extremely cruel method.Let its wraith wander in the world.

Although Kurokawa didn't know the twists and turns.

But in the thirteenth century, the dog general was born—with Qiu Chongbao, the fire mouse.

You said it was a coincidence or not.
