I accidentally died yesterday [comprehensive]

Kurokawa made many turns in his heart, but his face was still gentle, and he didn't show any extra expressions to let the curator see some superfluous things. Seeing that it was late and he had read the book for a long time, he proposed.

"How about going outside for a walk first."

"I have heard about the reputation of the Sendai Museum for a long time, but I have never been lucky enough to see it with my own eyes."

The curator was discussing with Kurokawa very excitedly, and a steady stream of thoughts spewed out like a spring. He couldn't bear this kind of inspiration, so he raised his heels to follow behind Kurokawa, chatting with him while introducing the treasures in the museum.

Sendai has a long history.

But the treasures in the collection are still much weaker, not as good as the charm of the ancient capital of Nara, Kyoto. Most of them are small gadgets such as combs, grates, cups, bowls, and some old Western paintings. Of course, the most important thing in the exhibition hall is Date Masamune. Weapons and armor, covered in a hood, standing under the light, posing a sitting posture, can also give people a little glimpse of the atmosphere of the warriors in those days.

The curator took Kurokawa for a rough introduction, and focused on picking two with Sendai characteristics, saying that they were gifts from Sendai Fan and Edo Castle during the material exchange during the Tokugawa Shogunate.

The curator commented.

"It has little value in itself."

"But the political significance is very high."

After that, he pointed to a painting inside the cover next to it and said, "The same is true for this treasure ship painting of the Seven Lucky Gods. In the Edo period, it was just a wall painting sold by everyone at the beginning of the first lunar month. Its name and value are much higher than those of its peers. After hundreds of years, other papers have been made into soil, but this one is still preserved in the museum.”

Hearing this sentence, the tourist next to him looked unhappy, and walked over a few steps to explain to the curator: "You are biased in thinking this way. The painting of the treasure ship of the Seven Lucky Gods originally carried beautiful blessings. Although the carrier of this painting is the most humble It’s just ordinary drawing paper, but the humbler it is, the more it can show the spiritual nobility and best wishes of the giver.”

Hearing this, the curator raised his nose: "Where is there a good wish, why didn't I see it?"

As he said that, the curator walked up to the treasure ship painting and pointed at it: "Look here, look here again, this is the most common treasure ship painting, it is clearly a defective product given by Edo to humiliate us back then. "

The painting of the treasure ship shows a treasure ship with several barrels of rice and many treasures on it, and it is heading against the wind and waves. There are also seven gods of good fortune sitting on the ship, with happy faces and amiable expressions.

Kurokawa stepped forward to take a look at the painting of the treasure ship of the Seven Lucky Gods in the Edo period.

The seven gods of good fortune refer to the seven gods of Ebisu, Daikokuten, Bencaiten, Bishamonten, Budai, Fulushou and Shoulao.

Ebisu is sometimes the god of commerce, sometimes the god of the sea and the god of agriculture, Daheitian governs and dispels disasters and diseases, and sometimes is also the god of wealth and wealth, Beng Caitian is the god of harvest, music and academic debate Samantian is the god of war, and the remaining three gods are all related to wealth, longevity and health.

Because the seven gods of good fortune carry the implication of good happiness, residents of both Edo Castle and Kyoto like to enshrine these seven gods.As the curator said, at the beginning of the first lunar month, small vendors can be heard shouting in the streets and alleys, "Selling treasure boat paintings——"

One after another.

The apologetic tourist took a few glances, "This portrait is lifelike, with a moving demeanor. It looks like it came from a famous artist. Why are you so aggressive?"

The curator raised his eyebrows and smiled: "If you come out to argue with me, you should do your homework."

He stretched out his hand, pointed to the treasure ship painting inside the cover and said, "Come on, let me explain it to you."

"The most orthodox treasure ship painting must have sails."

The tourist nodded: "There are sails."

The curator said: "There should be writing on the sail, it should say 'tapi', what is a tapir, it is a mythical beast that devours human nightmares, and it is a symbol of good luck."

The tourist said dumbly: "..."

After a while, he replied: "I didn't write it."

Yes, the word "tapir" is not written on this treasure ship painting donated in the name of politics.

The curator said again: "Look here again."

He pointed to the only goddess among the seven gods of good fortune. The goddess was wearing a precious garment and had a graceful figure.

The tourist said: "What's the problem with this goddess? It can't be that this eloquent genius is actually a male god."

The curator tilted his face, "Hey, you, you can't even tell."

He beckoned, "Hei Chuan, come and tell him something."

Kurokawa rolled his eyes, pointed at the goddess and said, "Ben Caitian among the Seven Lucky Gods is the god of music, learning, and debate, and has a beautiful appearance."

The tourist stared at the painting and said, "I can't see it."

Heichuan continued: "Hold a pipa, often for playing."

The tourist looked at the object in the hands of the goddess, and was suddenly surprised: "This..."

Heichuan pointed to the goddess in the painting of the treasure ship and said, "And this goddess is wearing palace attire, with high hair and holding a jewel, just like a noble lady."

"It's completely different from Biancaitian."

The tourist murmured, "What is this?"

Kurokawa fully introduced the origin of this abrupt goddess.

"It's an auspicious day."

"It is a goddess in Hinduism. Legend has it that the gods stirred the sea of ​​milk in order to obtain the nectar of immortality. One of the gods pulled up the Bengal mountain to make a pestle. Even Asura participated in it and contributed to it. In the nectar of the sea of ​​milk Several gods were born, and this auspicious day was among them. When she was born, she was so beautiful that the gods competed for it."

"Auspicious Heaven, Auspicious Heavenly Girl, and Merit Heaven are all her titles."

"I came to Japan during the Heian period, and then there were many believers. It is a god in charge of wealth, luck and harvest."

"It was originally one of the Seven Lucky Gods."

"but."

"With the arrival of Ben Caitian, Ji Xiangtian was abandoned, and his reputation and prestige were not as good as that of Ben Caitian. Then he was squeezed out of the position of the Seven Lucky Gods and completely replaced by Ben Caitian."

Kurokawa pointed to the painting of the treasure ship and said, "There is no seat for Auspicious Heaven here."

After hearing this, the tourist scratched his head: "...Yes, it's not very good."

"It seems a bit gloomy to draw the auspicious sky here."

The curator cleared his throat: "Why, now you understand."

Date Masamune missed the seat of Tianxiaren, isn't he "replaced" like Jixiangtian.

After hearing this, the tourist sighed and said: "I didn't expect there are so many doorways in it."

He then saw souvenirs for sale at the exit of the museum, one of which was a portrait painted by Treasure Ship, so he took out his wallet and bought several as a support for the museum.

Seeing that it was late, Kurokawa left after saying goodbye to the curator. He found the tour guide who was resting in a nearby restaurant, and wanted to find Kiemon again. For some reason, there was no sign of Kiemon everywhere.

So Kurokawa got into the car, locked his body inside, and his soul came out of his body to the sky, overlooking the surrounding fields.

The human body is still too limited.

Kurokawa turned into a black mist, and the faint mist spread in all directions. It was found that Kiemon's figure appeared in the northeast, which was the park where they came.

How did he go where?

Kurokawa followed in the blink of an eye.

There was a lot of people in the park, and Kurokawa followed the flow and quickly found the center of the crowd.

It was a century-old tree, majestic and green, with a shimenawa rope tied around the tree. The shimenawa rope only appears in shrines, and it is used to show pedestrians that the front is the domain of gods.

Putting it here tells visitors that the tree ahead is the domain of the god.

The inside of the rope is empty, and the outside of the rope is bustling.

Many people stood outside praying piously, some local and some from other places. Kurokawa also saw a few young students standing outside, pointing at the bowing believers, saying "stupid" and so on. if.

Kurokawa saw Kiemon, and also Mr. and Mrs. Yongkichi.

Kiemon was lying on the top of a tree outside, looking at the tree god and Nagayoshi-sensei.

Heichuan gently landed beside him, "What are you looking at?"

Kiemon murmured, "I'm envious."

He pointed to the circle of Zhuliansheng, "...Look, this means that this is his domain."

"There are still so many believers."

He also pointed to Mrs. Yongji who was meditating silently with her palms folded: "There is another fanatic."

Kurokawa has never seen what a real god looks like.

He had seen a Futsu God at Sesshomaru's birthday party before, but he was a Nodo like Naoko and Kiemon.

"Where is that god now?"

Kiemon said: "I don't know...Although the gods usually stay in their own shrines, they occasionally go out for shopping."
