This witch is a boy

Michizane Sugawara shook his head and said, "Because Confucianism has not produced saints who can rival gods and Buddhas in Japan, and there are no saints like Confucius and Mencius in Japan, but this does not mean that Confucianism has no power, and it is called the god of learning, known as Confucius in Japan In fact, I have become a representative of Confucianism or learning, and there is no difference between Confucianism and learning in the hearts of the world, so I am the god of literature and Taoism."

"I can mobilize the beliefs of more than 1 Tianmangongs across the country, as well as the luck of the country's literature and Taoism, and then count the beliefs of the god of fire behind you, Tiantian Numing, Saruta Hikoming, and Dongzhao Quanxian, and you can use these Faith, please come out to the Lord of Mount Tai."

"But if you do it, don't regret it. Maybe you will offend Izanami. The Lord of Mount Tai has a higher personality than the Great God Huang Quanjin. The Great God Huang Quanjin can't trouble him, but you are destined to be hated by her."

"So you should think about it carefully. If you promise, the three of us will help you solve this trouble, which can be regarded as eliminating disasters for the world. If you don't agree, then this matter will be done. It's up to you to choose."

Sugawara Michizane said in a deep voice, rejecting Izanami's godhead also means rejecting her grace, which is a humiliation for Huang Quanjin.

Chapter 78 Inari Myojin

"Ah... it turned out to be a big murderer."

Gui Julan looked at the lottery in her hand with some depression, not even Xiaoji, but the legendary "big ominous", this is really unlucky, you must know that this is not for her own sake, but for Ying Siguang of.

I don't know what happened to Jingu, Saigu didn't even participate in today's upcoming Aoi Festival, so he hastily returned to Ise. You must know that today's Aoi Festival represents the inauguration of her cousin, Prince Keikonai, as King Kamosai What could be more important than today's Aoi Festival on the big day.

At this time, she is located in Fushimi Inari Taisha Taisha, which is a very old shrine in Kyoto, and it is also the main shrine of more than [-] Inari shrines all over Japan, and it is also one of the oldest shrines in Kyoto. .

"No, I have to draw again. It must be these nasty mainlanders who have drawn all the good tickets."

Gui Julan complained, and took out 100 yen again, preparing to draw another good lottery.

As the saying goes, money can make ghosts turn the wheel. The main god enshrined by Inari Taisha Shrine is the Inari Myojin of agriculture and commerce. It seems that the priests of Inari Taisha Shrine have also inherited the essence of gods, and they are as immoral as Yebisu Shrine .

The maidens of the shrine are enthusiastically introducing the usage of the Poma Arrow to foreign tourists in English and Chinese, and they are also busy selling the shrine’s guards and fox amulets.

"Selling Royal Guards, [-]% off for two, [-]% off for five."

The witches enthusiastically said to the tourists in Chinese that the requirements of each shrine are actually very different. The Tenman Shrine requires the priests to recite Chinese poems or waka about plum more or less. For the people of Inari Taisha If a clergyman cannot speak either Chinese or English, you are not qualified to be a clergyman.

Of course, if you can speak both Chinese and English, then it doesn’t matter whether you can speak Japanese or not, because Inari Myojin Shrine is different from those domestic Turtle Shrines whose influence cannot go beyond Japan. Korea and even Asia, and finally to the shrine of the world.

Group after group of Chinese tourists came to buy "Yu Shou" and "Broken Arrow". The densely packed Chinese painted horses hung on the painted horse wall, and then looked at the witch who enthusiastically introduced in Chinese, which made her a little confused , Is this a Japanese shrine or a Chinese shrine.

"It must be these foreigners who took all the good tickets away."

Seeing another "big fierce" lottery in his hand, Gui Julan stomped his feet angrily, and drew another chapter.

The shrine regards lotus, amulets, and guards as commercial activities, so in the face of foreign tourists, most of the printed signs are good ones. After all, the cost of a lotus is 3.5 yen, and it is sold for 100 yen. It can be said to be a huge profit, but there is no Thinking that the one who got drawn was actually "big murderer".

After drawing three times in a row, Gui Julan immediately stopped drawing lots, vaguely understanding that Ying Siguang might be in serious trouble now.

There is no way to solve the lottery. Although it is clear that Ying Siguang may be in danger based on the two Chinese characters of "big fierce", there is no way to explain it or even crack it through theory.

She is just a battle priestess, not a priestess who is proficient in Shinto theory like Shiro or Reisenin Nadeko, and she is completely unable to seek answers through divination, tortoise divination, and the like.

Jingu's best prophecy is actually His Royal Highness Jing Zi, because she can see the future, so she also relies on Jing Zi very much, but after hearing what Zhai Gong said to her that night, she was a little hesitant about what to do. Be able to keep Jingzi at a respectful distance.

At least until the situation is clear, she will never do unnecessary things.

"Inari Myojin, please bless Xiaoguang, she is your descendant."

Ghost Julan stood under the prayer place, praying sincerely.

The Inari Taisha Shrine worships the Inari gods headed by Yuga’s soul god. There are four main gods in total, and the second god is Saruta Hiko, who is also the chief god of the Inari Shrine. According to myths and legends The offspring born with Tiantian's daughter's life are the Yingsiguang clan.

The bells rang, and the bells at the prayer place swayed without wind. Gui Julan opened his eyes and found that the shrine, which was crowded with people, suddenly became cold. Tourists, even witches, and priests disappeared.

A white fox held a key in its mouth and looked at Gui Julan, its smart eyes were full of human wisdom like a human's.

"Is it an angel?"

A person who suddenly disappeared, an empty shrine, and a fox appeared in front of her like this, and she couldn't allow her to doubt it.

It seems that this place is no longer in the human world, has it been pulled into the realm of the gods?

Gui Julan thought in her heart, staring at the fox and refusing to look away.

The gods will not easily show their posture in front of mortals, so animals, as messengers of gods, have become a necessity to convey the divine will.

The chickens of Ise Shrine, the crows of Suwa Taisha, and the foxes of Inari Taisha are all very famous gods.

"follow me!"

The fox uttered human words and said to Gui Julan, then turned around and ran towards the distance after speaking.

Oni Julan hurriedly chased after him, running non-stop along the torii gate of the shrine.

The fox ran faster and faster, and disappeared in the shrine in a short time. She stopped, knowing that she had finally reached her destination.

I saw a boy wearing a fox mask sitting there, writing something on the red torii gate with his right hand, and holding a crimson folding fan in his left hand.

"Who is your Excellency?"

Gui Julan stopped, looked at the young man with his back turned and asked.

Only Inari Myojin can enter the Inari Taisha Shrine, and there are a total of four Inari Myojin at Fushimi Inari Taisha.Among them, the first god of worship, Yuga, the god of the soul, is a goddess, Omiya can sell gods is also a goddess, and the only male god is Saruta Hikoshin, but it is also possible for gods to appear in front of human beings in a gender-reversed way, so Oni Julan is not Dare to determine the identity of the other party.

Calling the wrong god's name in person is a very serious offense to the gods, and Inari Myojin is the right god, and Inari Taisha is also a famous god shrine. Even if it is not as powerful as Izumo Taisha and Ise Shrine, There is not much difference, because Inari Taisha is the head office of all Inari shrines in Japan.

Inari Shrine is the largest number of shrines in Japan. The wide belief in Inari Myojin far surpasses other gods, so it should not be underestimated.

"The Hidden Priestess of the Shrine, this is the first time we have met."

The boy put down the pen in his hand, and took off his fox mask, revealing a handsome face.

"Xiaoguang, why is it you?"

Gui Julan looked at the young man who took off his mask and smiled at him in surprise, it was Ying Siguang.

After a while, he shook his head and rejected his own thoughts. Although his face was exactly the same as Ying Siguang's, it was definitely not him.

The young man in front of him was majestic, with wisdom hidden in his eyes, as if he had only met his eyes for a short time, and the other party had already seen through him.

"Are you Saruta Hikogami-sama?"

Oni Kalan questioned, Saruta Hikoshin is not only the deity of Inari Taisha Shrine, but also has his shrine in Ise Shrine.

There is such an intriguing sentence in the Shinto classic "Kindai Suzuki Leaf Collection", "The way is the way of Amaterasu, and the teaching is the teaching of Sarutahiko."

"Chuijia Sheyu" also said that "Tao is the way of the sun god, and teaching is guided by Saruta Hiko."

It means that the way of Amaterasu is the foundation of Shinto. To understand the virtue of Amaterasu and accept the rule of the emperor, one must follow the guidance of Amaterasu.

In the mythology, Hikomi Saruta is the god who welcomes the grandson of heaven, and Hikomi Saruta provided the place where Amaterasu asked her witch Wahime to find a place to worship her.

Sarutahiko was regarded as the "god who illuminates the sky and the earth" in Ise, and was worshiped by local believers as the sun god before Amaterasu.

In the various ceremonies held in the shrine, the god Hiko Saruta also guided the way, because Hiko Saruta was the original real master of Ise.

The young man with the appearance of Ying Siguang looked at Gui Julan, carefully sizing her up, and Gui Julan couldn't help but feel hairy all over his body. After a while, the boy suddenly said, "Witch, have a baby with my descendants!"

"Huh?" Gui Julan was full of doubts in his mind, why did he say this all of a sudden.

"I originally thought that my descendants should not lack the popularity of women, but it still doesn't work."

The boy shook his head and lowered his head and said, looking into Gui Julan's eyes, "The reason why I let Yu Zeguang enter the shrine at the beginning was to let him form a relationship with the girl in the shrine earlier, who knows that after staying for so long The girl's hand has never been touched."

The young god, that is, Saruta Hikomi, said this with an angry tone, full of hatred for iron and steel, and seemed to have made a decision when he looked at Gui Julan, "So you Gui Julan, and Nadeko of Lengquanyuan, Ise The whole house of Saigong Shirakawa will be given to my descendant Yu Zeguang as a bride and bear children for him."

"Here, the shrine maidens are not allowed to marry."

Gui Julan finds it ridiculous, not to mention the monogamy in modern times, and more importantly, Ise's Zhai Palace must be chaste to serve Amaterasu, but what the god said made her feel somewhat incredible.

"I said that if you can get married, you can get married, and you all want to give birth to my descendants."

Saruta Hikoshin shook his head, looked at Gui Ju Lan and said solemnly, "Don't you know anything? The gods of Gao Tianyuan have been blocked by me from the way to the world. The shrine is mine now, and I belong to Ise God of the land, I want to take back my place, from now on, the shrine of Ise is no longer the shrine of Amaterasu, but the shrine of me, Sarutahiko."

Hearing Saruta Hikoko's words, Gui Ju Lan thought he had heard it wrong, and looked at the boy who was exactly like Takashimitsu with incredulous eyes and said, "You are betraying the gods of Takamahara."

"If my clan is cut off, then I have no reason to hand over Ise to the Gods of Tianjin."

Saruta Hikomei said in a cold tone, because he is Ujigami, so he can feel the life of his descendants like a candle in the wind, which will die at any time.

Because he was the one who welcomed Tianjin gods such as Tiansun and Amaterasu into the world, it also meant that he was able to completely block Gao Tianyuan's road to the world.

Chapter 79

The warm sun outside the window slowly shone into the room, Ying Siguang got out of his bed, revealing a small head, seeing the sun outside only felt warm.

A familiar but noisy voice came from outside, Ying Siguang rubbed his eyes, put on his clothes and slippers, pushed open the door and walked out, only to hear the singing.

wandering alone by the window

Difficult to draw a pen

suddenly smell the fragrance

Early Plum Breaking Cold Cream

The voice of reciting waka was somewhat familiar, and Takashiko just walked towards the source of the sound curiously when he saw a large group of people surrounding Natori Monday, who was holding a scroll of calligraphy and painting in his hand.

"Winter is approaching, and finally there are so many plum blossoms that can be counted on the branches. The severe cold will pass, which symbolizes beauty..."

Seeing Takashiko's arrival, Natori smiled at him on Monday.

"Whose song is this, it sounds really good."

Takashiko looked at Natori Monday and asked, who has been baptized in conservative famous works, she has already reached a very high level of appreciation for Tang poetry, Song lyrics and songs. upward flavor.

The artistic conception of plum blossoms coming and spring coming in it is just like the Zen that I received at Tianmangong before.

"You can tell just by looking at the signature, this is director Saito's family heirloom!"

On Monday, Natori showed the inscription of the calligraphy and painting, and the inscription on it is called "Yuanrongbao".

According to the old tradition, no matter whether it is a prayer at a shrine or a letter, the inscription of the name will be done with your own name.

For example, his own name is Ying Siguang, but the inscription on the official letter does not write Ying Siguang, the five major guards, Jiutiao, Yitiao, Ertiao, and Yingsi. These surnames are actually only Miao characters, even if they are unprecedented They will also adopt sons from other Sheguan families or Tsinghua family officials to inherit the family name, because they all have common ancestors and the common surname Fujiwara.

Director Saito's ancestor is Saito Kazu from the Shinsengumi, just an ordinary samurai, it is impossible to have such a high level of literary accomplishment to write such moving waka, so there is only one answer.

This is a waka written by the lord of the Aizu Domain, Matsudaira Yohoho, to Saitoichi. Because the Matsudaira clan is known as the Seiwa Genji, the inscription of Matsudaira Yohoho is the source of the song.

There is actually such a story about Matsudaira Yohoho and Saitoichi. When the end of the Tokugawa period was turbulent and the shogunate system collapsed, Matsudaira Yohoho still did not give up the idea of ​​being loyal to the Tokugawa family. Saitoichi said such a thing.

Aizu Fan has the mission of being loyal to the general and protecting the emperor, and then asked him, "Saitoichi, are you willing to serve the imperial court and the shogunate with me?"

If other people encountered such a question, they would probably grit their teeth and say it without hesitation.

However, Saitoichi shook his head and said, "You are the only one I am willing to sacrifice my life to protect, but what you want to protect, my lord, is what I want to protect."

A very rare heart of loyalty, Saito Kazu, who practiced the way of the samurai, never left even during the Aizu War, and was buried in Aizu after his death.

Of course, some people say that the protagonist of this question is Isamu Kondo, but since director Saito has insisted on this, let it be regarded as Kazu Saito.

Thinking of this story, Eagle Siguang felt more and more that he was somewhat similar to Matsudaira Rongbao and Saitoichi, deeply in the tide of the great era and couldn't help himself, even he might have to choose the same fate as Saitoichi.

Director Saito carefully took back his calligraphy and paintings, which are his family heirlooms and will be handed down to future generations.

"Now is the time when the Sunflower Festival is about to start. After filming this part, we're done."

When Director Saito said it, Takashiko realized that the time when he met everyone was finally coming to an end.

…………

Aoi Matsuri, also known as Kamo Matsuri, is a festival held at Kamo Ozu Shrine (Shimogamo Shrine) and Kamobelei Shrine (Kamigamo Shrine) in Kyoto City.

It originated 1400 years ago, and it should have been held in May, but because of the 5th anniversary of the city’s birth in Kyoto, and the fact that His Royal Highness Prince Uchiha served as Saioh’s entry into Kamo Shrine, in order to celebrate this glorious event, it was also held in May. It was held today.

Viewing seats for the Aoi Festival were set up from the Kenrei Gate of the Kyoto Imperial Palace and the Imperial Gate of Sakaimachi. Thanks to the name of the NHK national television station, they also got a good position, but unfortunately they were only used for filming.

Looking down from the auditorium, I saw a team in sunflower leaf costumes approaching in a mighty way. There was the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and the guards in charge of opening the way for the guard of honor rode in through the city gate on tall horses.

Behind the guards who opened the way, there were a group of civil and military officials, dressed in samurai uniforms and court uniforms, riding majestically on horseback, and appeared after the guards and attendants.Then came the childhood virgins decorated with tender sunflower leaves and vine flowers, dressed in colorful clothes such as crimson, purple, and light yellow, coming out slowly, walking in a long line of gentle and elegant.

With the pagoda-repaired gate and the tile-roofed slab core mud wall as the background, against the background of the white city gate, the procession passing through the cobblestone road, this scene is like a dynasty picture scroll, this is the dynasty picture scroll of the Heian period.

Imperial envoys on white horses rode through the streets.

King Sai, who was enshrined for life, wore a twelve o'clock single-clothes sacrificial robe, and sat on a black lacquered and gold-inlaid imperial sedan chair, which was carried solemnly by the guards. The roof of the sedan chair was also decorated with tender sunflower leaves and vine flowers.The four attendants huddled in front and back, holding long-handled umbrellas decorated with various flowers in their hands. The whole team was like a moving sea of ​​flowers, and the scene was spectacular.

The imperial chariot pulled by a black ox slowly followed the team with a rumbling rumble.

"Is it Jingzi?"

Looking through the sedan chair, he wanted to see clearly the person sitting inside. It was not the Jingzi he had seen before, but a girl with the appearance of a young girl. Her appearance was similar to Jingzi's, just like Jingzi's older sister.

Ying Siguang had an illusion that maybe Jingzi should look like this girl when she grows up.

Seemingly aware that someone was watching, the young girl Keiko opened the curtain and looked at Takashiko. Even if they were facing each other from a distance, he could still feel the girl's torch-like gaze.

It hurts, it hurts!
