Lan Ruochan

chapter 67
The little dragon king's arm injury was not healed, he didn't make a move, he just cut off the way for the Taoist to retreat into the room, so as not to be knocked over by him and startle others.

Qingyun grabbed the Taoist priest's neck with one hand, and tightly held the Taoist priest's right arm holding the sword with the other hand.

Unambiguously, Pi Pi Pa Pa Pa staggered the joints of the opponent's body, and randomly found a piece of cloth and stuffed it into the Taoist priest's mouth.

The middle-aged Taoist didn't even utter a sound, he was already restrained, he looked at everyone in horror, the veins on his neck were bulging, his cheeks kept moving as if he was trying to shout.

But how can he distinguish the three young masters in front of him?
They carried him all the way back to the Little Dragon King's residence like a chicken.

The three tied the man firmly to the wooden chair, Qingyun took the iron sword and took a closer look.

The workmanship of this sword is really unremarkable, but the embroidered gold is still thoughtful, although the simple mercury melting method is used, the color is very uniform.

However, the characters on the upper part and the characters on the bottom rows are obviously embedded twice, and the ratio of gold and silver used is very different, and the color difference is obvious, which is quite unsightly.

What confused Qing Yun the most was the inscription on the sword body.

57 characters on the front: In the middle of July in the year of Xinhai, it is recorded that the name of the ancestor of the court was Fubidi, and his son was named Duojia Lizuni. half of his son's name
58 characters on the reverse side: His son’s name is Jiachapi, and the rest of his son’s name is Huoju Chen, who has been serving as the head of the stick knife for generations. Since then, Huojiaduozhilu Dawang Temple was in Sigui Palace. Knife remembers me to serve Nehara

What does it mean?
Qingyun couldn't understand, so he handed it over to Mozhi and Yuanfaseng, who also couldn't figure it out.

To sum it up roughly,
"This sword seems to be newly cast, so the year of Xinhai should refer to the first year of Wei Yanxing."

In that year, the Southern Dynasty was still in the Song Dynasty, and the reign title of Qi State was not used, so Dianzhi only chose the Northern Dynasty reign title to distinguish.

"The latter should record the lineage of a certain Fan family, probably so."

The little dragon king picked up the iron sword with one hand, held it against the Taoist's neck and threatened,

"Listen up! This king will take off the cloth in your mouth, you can be honest with this king, otherwise this king will hack and kill an unknown Taoist priest, and no one will be held accountable.

When the brothers ask something later, you answer honestly, if you play tricks to make the master angry.

Um~ you get the idea! "

After saying this, he picked up the cloth strip in the Taoist's mouth with a sword.

The cold wind blew across his face, only scaring the man until his crotch was covered with wet marks, how could he dare to shout?

The little dragon king glanced at him and asked casually, "What's your name?"

"Three six nine!"

The Taoist was cooperative and answered quickly, but he saw the little dragon king's eyebrows raised slightly, and hurriedly added,
"Abe, Abe. It should be, Abe three six nine.

But the people in the temple only call me Sanliujiu. "

"Abe? Is this your last name?"

"Yes, yes. My little ancestor should be a Japanese."

Qingyun suddenly interrupted and asked,

"Why do you say it should be? Just now you used it when you reported your surname. Don't you have any doubts about your origin?"

"My father, Sarutobi, is said to have been raised by monkeys in Mount Song.

He was picked up by Taoist Qi Wu as an apprentice, but he never told me about his ancestors,

Until one day, I met, met..."

When the Taoist said this, he suddenly seemed to have some concerns, and suddenly listened.

"I met the immortal bhikkhuni from Lanruo Houshan."

Qingyun added casually, as if holding a wisdom pearl.

"You, how do you know?"

"Keep talking! Some things are secrets to others, but not to us.

Do you know who this young master is from?

Tao Hongjing, Mr. Huayang, have you heard of it? "

In order to frighten the other party, Qingyun lifted all of Binzhi's teachers out, and the latter had no choice but to put on an unfathomable posture.

"Mr. Huayang? I was born in a Taoist temple, so I've heard of it, of course I've heard of it.

This, no wonder...

I, I once fell into the woods at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain while chopping firewood, met Takahashi Ni, and had some misunderstandings. "

When the middle-aged Taoist said this, his feet unconsciously retracted, rubbing against each other nervously,
Thinking back, it wasn't a misunderstanding at the time, but some evil thoughts on his own,
"I had some conflicts with her. This sword was originally a relic of my father, but she also snatched it away.

She has seen the inscription on the sword body. Although there was no wrong gold at that time, the handwriting was not very clear, but she could understand it, and even whispered a lot of Japanese to me.

Seeing that I didn't understand, she didn't make things difficult on purpose, she just told me that my ancestors came from the Wa country and should be the descendants of the Abe family.

I just heard her talk like this, so I'm not sure. "

"""""Knock on the blackboard time"""""

The content to be discussed in this section is quite long, so let’s put aside the allusions of the Ridgebu first, and first talk about the iron sword in the hands of the three six or nine masters.

The Japanese ancestry was originally not the focus of this book, and should be explained in more detail in the follow-up works of the series.But this iron sword was born during the Northern Wei Dynasty, so some origins still need to be explained.

In fact, according to the inscription on the sword body, some readers have already guessed that this sword is the national treasure of Japan today, the iron sword with gold inscriptions unearthed from the Inarishan Tumulus.The owner of the tomb is suspected to be the ancestor of Abe.Abe is transliterated according to the pronunciation, and the modern transliteration is Abe.Abe is definitely an ancient surname in Japan. I didn't intend to pull someone out here, but the stalk of "[-]" cannot be figured out without learning the formula of abacus and nine returns.

Closer to home, regarding the interpretation of the iron sword inscription, some Japanese scholars tried to explain it, but they all gave a vague and general explanation.This is what they do intentionally to obscure the origin of the ancestors.In fact, Japan's own history is written very clearly.

The emperor of Japan owes eight generations to history from Shenwu to the next. Are these eight generations really owed to history?No, the emperors who owed history to eight generations all came from a clan called Heer.Regarding the history of the Heir family, this work is simplified. According to the monograph "On the Formation of Ancient Japanese Kingship" written by Yukihisa Yamao, an ancient historian at Ritsumeikan University, this is a Korean family who worshiped the sun.His descendant, the Kasuga family, has been the head of the emperor (Japanese king) in successive dynasties.The ancient Takahashi, Abe, and Ono clans are also branches of the Heer clan.

What follows is the author's personal opinion.The writing method of Heer (わにう) comes from foley transcription, and Heer is a commonly used transcription. In addition, there are several different ways of writing Heer, Maruer, and Maru. "わ" is the original character of 和 and 头, and "に" is a preposition in Japanese, which means coming.One of the interpretations of わに is "come to the Japanese", う sound "武".The Heer family may be a descendant of the Wu family who crossed Korea to Japan. The Wu family that conforms to this feature is the Wu family's branch in the Central Plains, and the Wu family passed down by Shang Wang Wuding.It was during the period of the Jizi Kingdom that the Yin people went out of customs and into Korea.Of course, it's far-fetched to rely on this point alone, and we still have to look at Japan's own records.In the early days, the names of the descendants of the He’er clan would all start with the word Wu. For example, Wu Tingchuan, one of the four generals, and Wu Zhenxiong, who was regarded as the originator by the He’er family, are all unusual Han names, aren’t they?It may be because of the change in the pronunciation of the word Wu in Japanese that the name with a prefix such as Heer (Immigrated to the Wu family) Wu Zhenxiong appeared.In addition, the fiefdom of the Heer family is called Wushe County, which belongs to today's Sanwu City.The modern transliteration of the word Heer is a "maru". The meaning of this word in Japanese should be clear to everyone now. Its relationship with martial arts can be described as ambiguous. Could this incomprehensible cultural background be related to this? Woolen cloth?Also, when Danhai Mifune, a descendant of the Heer clan (Danhai clan came from Ono clan, Ono clan came from Kasuga clan, and Kasuga clan came from He Er clan), when the early emperor was given the posthumous title of Hanfeng, the first emperor was given the posthumous title of Shenwu, and hope is not Just a coincidence.

What does this discussion have to do with the iron sword in Ershi and Sanliujiu's hands?Because the name with the highest seniority in Tiejian's family tree - Yifubidi, was compared to Prince Dayhiko, this conclusion has basically become a conclusion in Japanese academic circles.As mentioned earlier, "ming" is a term of address.Yifubidi is a transliteration of Baekje dialect, meaning rich and meaning big, Bidi Imasakuhiko, and there have been many characters named Bidi and Bigui in "Nihon Shuji", and the current translation is the same.This Prince Dayan Ming was of the He'er clan, and was also the father of the aforementioned General Wu Tingchuan.

I feel that it may not be possible to write the content in one section. As for the detailed explanation of the name behind the iron sword and why this descendant of Dayan Ming is related to Songshan, we will leave it to the next chapter.Here I just make a final clarification, does the author think that the Japanese emperor's surname is Takeshi?of course not!First of all, Japan has been customary since ancient times, the emperor has no clan, and he is called by the country, and the people of the Heer clan can not be called the surname of the family even if they become the king of Japan.It must be called, first the name of the country (now it is "Japan", the ancient name is "Japanese", "Yamato"), and then the title (now it is "Tianhuang", the ancient name is "Dawang", "Maharaja"), if necessary, Final title.This rule was not made by the Japanese, but an old custom in China before the Qin Dynasty.Secondly, the line of ten thousand generations is a kind of belief, not true.After reading this series, you won't believe this again.The author's main inference in this work is only related to the eight generations and above of the kings who owed their history. They are likely to be descendants of the Wu clan, or at least they are also members of the Heer clan as claimed in Japanese history books.
