This witch is a boy

"Hey, 30 years ago."

Sugawara Michizane looked at Toyuki Yoshida, his eyes seemed to want to see something from the other party, and he said after a while, "So you are the kid of that guy back then, it's a pity, I thought your father could cultivate the spirit of the heart, I didn’t expect to make that step in the end.”

"God, spirit, and heart are the three talents that I, Yoshida Shinto, imitated from Taoism. The three are indispensable. Even I don't know if I can successfully cultivate my own spirit of heart."

Yoshida Toyuki took a sip of tea. For him who has the blood of the gods, although the blood has been diluted a lot over the millennia, it is after all the Yoshida Shinto created by their family. It is naturally convenient in practice. God and spirit are okay. But if you can't grasp the most important heart, it will be just a falsehood in the end.

"But kid, there is one thing I want to remind you. It is very disrespectful for you to call me that, the great god."

"I remember my father used to call you that."

Sugawara Michizane suddenly interrupted Yoshida Toyuki, but Yoshida Toyuki was a little surprised, he clearly remembered that his title should be correct.

"Your father called me a minister, but you just called me a minister."

Michizane Sugawara said seriously, not satisfied with Toyuki Yoshida's words.

"Is there any difference between the two?" Yoshida Toyuki was dumbfounded.

"My official position is from a minister of the Taizheng, not from a minister of the Taizheng. This kind of title issue must not be messed up. If the so-called name is not correct, the words will not go well. If education is not flourishing, if education is not flourishing, punishments will be inappropriate, and if punishments are inappropriate, the common people will be at a loss."

"As a priest, you should understand this truth. You also have the responsibility to educate the world. You should not be careless about small things, so no matter what you do, you must first rectify your name, and the title is the same."

Michizane Sugawara taught Yoshida Toshin a serious lesson, and Yoshida Tohyuki, who had a wry smile on his face, suddenly sat upright to show that he was taught.

"It's different from one person to another. Originally, the minister of the Taizheng is the teacher of the emperor. He is an official who would rather be deficient than indiscriminate. It is an official position that only people with perfect morals and talents can hold. This is even more so, so a god like me who is full of virtue in the heavens is a perfect saint."

"You are like China's nine-rank official selection method, among which the first rank is awarded to saints like Confucius. I dare not stand side by side with Confucius. This is a Canadian minister who is at least as important as Mencius."

Sugawara Michizane touched his non-existent beard with satisfaction after Toyuki Yoshida said he was taught, and Takashimitsu almost spit out the tea in his mouth when he heard it.

There is nothing more serious than the destruction of idols.

Shameless, really shameless.

Although the fact that Michi Sugawara is really the god of learning is meaningless to Takashiko, but it is really too shameless to compare himself to a saint in character.

After losing the political struggle, who is unwilling to become a resentful spirit and go to settle accounts with those involved.

Not only scared Fujiwara Shihei to death, but also scared the emperor and the prince who would inherit the throne to death.

It's fine if the thunder falls and burns down the palace.If you still want to vent your anger and destroy the whole of Japan, you can just destroy the royal family, and the entire Japanese people will provoke you.

"It's exactly what a minister of the Taizheng said."

Yoshida Toyuki nodded in agreement, Takashiko did not see the embarrassment on his face at all.

As expected, he is worthy of being the head of the Yoshida family, his cultivation level is just like that of Ise's Zhaigong, and he has already reached home.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's start the formal tea party."

Sugawara Michizane made a point, and he was very grateful for Yoshida Toyuki's words.

Takashiko put the tea powder in a bowl spoonful by spoonful, poured it slowly with hot water, and repeated Sugawara Michizane's movements.

If tea parties were held in ancient times, there would be utensils for boiling water in the middle, but in modern times a hot water pot is enough.

Keeping my clear heart, I remembered the tea ceremony etiquette taught by Saigu and Lengquanyuan Nadeko. Tea ceremony, ikebana, incense and even kendo and bow are all compulsory courses for witches, although due to time constraints, one or two have not been practiced yet However, the tea ceremony is a compulsory key course.

Eliminate all interference, and calmly engage in all kinds of preparation work, smooth and perfect, just this action has a supreme beauty. After Sen Rikyu's tea ceremony, the level of Japanese tea ceremony has been improved several levels.

The tea ceremony, the tea ceremony, tea is the way, and the tea ceremony etiquette itself is an art, which is not inferior to the lofty evaluation of Noh.

Yoshida Toyuki and Sugawara Michizane looked at him collectively, and felt that the atmosphere in the tea room was a little different, as if there was a vast force arousing with his movements.

Toyuki Yoshida was surprised, Michizane Sugawara showed a thoughtful expression, his movements were nothing special, they were not exactly the same as the movements he did just now, but they were [-] to [-]% similar, but the movements of Takashiko seemed to have reached a certain level with Tiandi fit.

The vast power was attracted, Sugawara Michizane looked directly at his body, maybe it was his own power, maybe it was his own tea ceremony skills, maybe both.

But this matter is not important, the important thing is that he did it.

"It will be good tea."

Sugawara Michizane and Yoshida Toyuki looked at Takashimitsu who was addicted to the tea ceremony, and thought in unison.

Chapter 63

"The time of the gods is too long. From the Heian era to the present, the world has undergone too many changes. The changes are so fast that even I, a god of learning, can't handle it, but the gods will also keep pace with the times. , the way of a sage changes with the times, no matter how it changes, some things will remain unchanged.”

Michizane Sugawara looked at Takashiko's making tea and tilted his head while holding the plugged-in hot water kettle, and said, "From the sedan chair in the past, to bicycles, cars, and trains, the original means of transportation are constantly changing, and the utensils used to boil water are constantly changing. Change to this little plug-in thing, such as this bowl, such as that umbrella, but these have never changed."

"Seven principles of tea ceremony, the tea must be ordered well; the charcoal must be placed so that it can boil water; the camellias must be planted as if they were in the wilderness. Making tea can make people feel warm in winter and cool in summer. Plan everything and treat guests with heart. Going to the appointment ahead of time and being able to do these seven things is already a master."

"Sen Rikyu's words are really amazing. Even from the Warring States period to modern times, the true meaning of the tea ceremony has never changed."

Michizane Sugawara looked at the tea ordered by Hikaru Takashi and said approvingly, ordering tea treats people with heart-to-heart and sincerity. If you can't think about the other party, you can leave your status and be equal to the people at the tea party. If you don't understand the true meaning of the tea ceremony, the tea ceremony is also a way to treat guests with a heart-to-heart relationship.

"A minister of the Taizheng is an example of this. The tea ceremony was introduced to our country in the Kamakura period. It was the Zen master Rongxi, the first ancestor of the Linji sect, who entered the Song Dynasty twice and found the true meaning of the tea ceremony. Only then did the tea ceremony in our country develop. A minister of the Taizheng is rigorous in his studies and has the courage to accept new things, he really deserves to be the god of learning for a generation."

Yoshida Toyuki praised Sugawara Michizane without hesitation, and Takashiko on the other side was dumbfounded. This flattery is too obvious. Could it be that he can't get the priesthood of the pure rank because of his ability to please the gods? That's not enough. Michizane Sugawara is the god of learning anyway, so you should be able to tell that you are flattering him.

"No, no, Yoshida kid, you are wrong."

Michizane Sugawara shook his head, Hikaru Takashi was dumbfounded, as expected he saw that Toyuki Yoshida was flattering and flattering.

"I remember that in the 24th year of the Enli calendar, which is about 803 A.D. as you said, Master Yongzhong, the envoy sent to Tang Dynasty who returned to China, brought back several sacks of tea leaves to Japan at the same time, and presented them to Emperor Saga at that time. But there was no tea at that time. The ministers only regard it as medicinal materials, and when the emperor bestows them on me, I also use them as medicinal materials."

Sugawara Michizane shook his head, seeming to remember something, interrupting Yoshida Toyuki's words.

"Worthy of being the God of Learning. Seeing him today really made me very happy and benefited me a lot."

Suddenly Yoshida Tatsuyuki lowered his head heavily, tears filled his eyes, Takashiko couldn't believe what he saw, what he saw.

Toyuki Yoshida actually looked at Michizane Sugawara with a face of admiration, his face was full of incredulity, as if shocked by a miracle, it was all admiration.

"Where, where, it should be. You have studied foreign books such as "On Democracy in the United States", "The Wealth of Nations", and "On War".

Sugawara Michizane saw Yoshida Toyuki's adoring gaze, stroked his non-existent beard, and said modestly.

Morality, morality!

Michizane Sugawara, Toyuki Yoshida, thanks to the fact that one of you is a god and the other is a leader of the Shinto world, don't you lose your integrity now?

…………

The tea is very bitter, with a slight bitterness, not as delicious as the iced black tea on the streets of China. It is said that the eminent monks can feel the mysterious state of Zen tea when drinking tea.

Sugawara Michizane took a sip of the tea that Takashiko handed over, without saying a word, closed his eyes, and said after a while, "It's hard to evaluate. It's not that the tea is bad, but..."

Sugawara Michizane thought about it and handed the tea bowl to Yoshida Toyuki. He took the tea bowl and closed his eyes and took a sip with the same expression of thought. Finally, he looked at Takashiko with faint eyes and handed him the tea bowl, "Drink, try try."

Takashiko took the tea bowl and drank it in one gulp. This is the traditional drinking method invented by Sen Rikyu, the master of Japanese tea ceremony. No matter how many people are in the tea party, they only drink the same bowl of tea.

puff.

Ying Siguang spit out the tea in one gulp, couldn't help it, it was so bitter, so bitter, it was like traditional Chinese medicine, too bitter.

"People's state of mind can affect tea. If your heart is bitter, tea is also bitter."

Yoshida Toukyu looked at Takashimitsu and couldn't help smiling, took out the fan from his arms and said, "Do you know what Zen is?"

Ying Siguang shook his head, expressing his confusion.

"This is Zen. The suffering of life can only be detached. You have achieved the realm of the gods, and you are a god of disaster!"

Michizane Sugawara said quietly, seeing Ying Siguang's puzzled look, he said, "I didn't expect to see the birth of the God of Misfortune, and it was in front of me."

"What does the God of Misfortune mean?"

Ying Siguang's legs were trembling. Although he understood what the God of Misfortune meant and what kind of existence he had become, he couldn't accept it at all and always had expectations.

"Although there are some people in this world who regard monsters as gods, or monsters are degraded gods, but monsters and gods are always different, and the level of their spiritual status is even more different, not only because they can gather beliefs and realize People's wishes, what's more important, you know?"

Sugawara Michizane looked at Ying Siguang, and the imprint of Tiantian Numing's divine power had been broken on his head.

It is impossible for a god to imprint himself on another god. Even if the spiritual status of the two is far apart, the essence has begun to be the same.

Ying Siguang shook his head, some understood and some did not understand, the faint uneasiness in his heart made him not want to understand.

"Bringing happiness to believers, the God of Misfortune is an existence that can only bring disasters to the world. It is not out of its own will, but its own nature. The God of Misfortune in Huangquan will only bring killing and death to the world .Go away, Takashiko, you are not welcome in my shrine."

Michizane Sugawara stared at him and said suddenly, a black folding fan appeared in his hand, "Don't bring the filth of Huangquan to my shrine, if you don't get out, I'll purify your filth directly."

"No place will welcome the existence of the God of Fujin. No matter where you go in the future, the local land god will expel you. If you enter its territory by force, it may even lead to a war."

Yoshida Tatsuyuki sighed and said, I didn't expect that I didn't ask the gods to take action, but I turned into the God of Misfortune directly. What's the use of this kind of god who brings misfortune to the world, I'm afraid the gods haven't made a move yet. It was sealed by humans.

It is a common practice to enshrine the existence of terror that cannot be dealt with as a god, and to set up a shrine, worship it, and eliminate grievances. Sugawara Michizane, the demon king who wanted to destroy Japan in the past, became a god of learning after he became a god. It can be seen that the sacrifice One is great.

However, the God of Mizutsu is an exception. Although it is a god, Gao Tianyuan and God of Kunitsu do not agree that they are of the same kind. Even various shrines have a lot of spells to deal with God of Mizutsu.

"How can this happen? It's not that I am willing to be a disaster god. My lord, please help me, please."

Takashiko was a little flustered, Sugawara Michizane's sudden change of face made him a little unable to react, and then he fell into a deep panic.

If he becomes the God of Misfortune, wouldn't he be going to hell on his behalf.

"Lord Tenjin, no matter what, Xiaoguang is also the miko of Tiantian Maiden..." Yoshida Toyuki saw Takashiko kneeling on the tatami begging for mercy, and couldn't help but said to Sugawara Michizane.

"It's not anymore, she doesn't have any divine light on her body anymore." Michizane Sugawara said lightly.

"Please leave at least one God's order!"

Yoshida Toyuki stopped Sugawara Michizane who wanted to leave and said, "After all, we are friends of the tea party, and nothing is better than ruthlessness."

Michizane Sugawara looked at Toyuki Yoshida carefully, as if he didn't know each other at this moment, and sighed, "I was wrong, your mind is about to grow."

Sugawara Michizane turned around, turned his back to Takashiko and said, "Forget it, since we have a one-night relationship, then I will give you a god's order, and you are fine. This is Uesugi Kenshin, the incarnation of Bishamonten among the Seven Lucky Gods Words left in the world."

"Those who want to live must die, and those who want to die must live. The key point is what is the heart. If you can understand this heart and stick to this heart, you will not be hurt if you fight the fire, and you will not be drowned like water. Although you are alive and dead, why should you be afraid? I always understand this principle and settle down. Samadhi. Those who cherish life and hate death are not enough to be called warriors."

Takashiko listened carefully to Sugawara Michizane's instructions. This is a very important thing. If he can understand it, he will be able to solve his troubles.

"Little Yoshida, you have tricked me once this time. Although it is not my wish to disobey God Huang Quanjin, as a human god, why should I be afraid of it?"

Sugawara Michizane disappeared after saying these words, leaving only the priest Kitagawa Hisahiko lying on the ground without knowing why. From his dazed appearance, it seemed that he had just woken up.

"The god's order is nothing serious, but the casual words just now, Lord Tianshen revealed a lot of things, but in the troubled times of the Warring States period..."

Yoshida Toyuki looked at the dazed Takashiko, and knew that the other party didn't understand what Sugawara Michizane's commandment meant, and he wanted to tell his discovery triumphantly.

When the gods want to say something, they always use such unfathomable words.Although oracles are very straightforward words, but for believers to pray, want to know the future, and predict disasters and fortunes, the gods will become stingy and say some incomprehensible words for you to guess.

If you guess right, you are naturally a god, but if you guess wrong, you can only be regarded as useless and unable to understand the divine will.

Yoshida Touyuki smiled, if Uesugi Kenshin is Bishamonten, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi is Toyoko Daimyojin, the son of the sun, then Oda Nobunaga's Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, Tokugawa Ieyasu and Takeda Shingen's Warring States Trouble, is Maybe the gods will fight in reincarnation in order to gain the dominion of the world.

"Uncle Yoshida, are you talking about this manga?"

Takashiko looked at a manga near Sugawara Michizane, and saw that it told the story of a great chaos involving the reincarnation of gods in the Warring States Period and the incarnation of Warring States generals.

When I opened the cover, the words of Kenshin Uesugi happened to be written on the title page, and I felt like I was being cheated.

It feels so unreliable, it can't be just any comic book to deceive people.

Chapter 64

"Those who want to live must die, and those who want to die must live. The key point is what is the heart. If you can understand this heart and stick to this heart, you will not be hurt if you fight the fire, and you will not be drowned like water. Although you are alive and dead, why should you be afraid? I always understand this principle and settle down. Samadhi. Those who cherish life and hate death are not enough to be called warriors."

Takashiko chanted Uesugi Kenshin's words, trying to get some key information from his words.

This is the famous quote of Kenshin Uesugi, the daimyo of the Warring States Period, which contains his own understanding of the combination of Bushido and Zen.

Take it literally.Probably it is not to be afraid of death, because once a warrior is afraid of death, he will die, so he must not be afraid of death, and only after he is not afraid of death can he get the truth of a warrior in this life-and-death experience.

But it definitely doesn't mean that, Ying Siguang shook his head, the meaning of this sentence is to be ready to die.

He didn't ask God to ask for death, and he didn't want to accompany Huang Quan to accompany Huang Quanjin, he should find a way to survive death from the understanding of this sentence.

Natori Monday and director Saito didn't understand what kind of medicine Takashiko had taken wrongly, why he suddenly became so strange, and kept chanting words that he couldn't understand.

Hikaru Matsuhira, who left Tenmangu, didn't care about anything, and took Michizane Sugawara's manga from somewhere, as if he wanted to see some righteousness from it.

Although he himself felt that this manga might be a pit, but his current physical condition was already in a pit, and even if it was a pit, he had to hold his nose and jump down.

"Those who want to live must die, and those who want to die must live. The key point is what is the heart. If you can understand this heart and stick to this heart, you will not be hurt if you fight the fire, and you will not be drowned like water. Although you are alive and dead, why should you be afraid? I always understand this principle and settle down. Samadhi. Those who cherish life and hate death are not enough to be called warriors."

Takashiko was about to go crazy, and repeated it countless times, trying to figure out what Sugawara Michizane's words meant. It was vague, so couldn't you explain it more clearly?

He suddenly missed the God of Efficiency, because the God of Efficiency's instructions and prophecies were basically plain words, and he almost didn't tell you what to do by himself.

…………

The festival of Tenmangu is still going on, and the tea party is still going on.
