Who stipulated that hot weapons are not allowed to kill spirits?

The terrain of hills and mountains contains countless precious environmental resources, but at the same time, it is also a natural moat that blocks transportation and cultural exchanges.

Tens of millions of people will never step out of their birthplace in their entire lives, not because they lack the spirit of exploration, but because the risk is so high that ten deaths and nine lives will be lost.

Therefore, Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara, these three plain cities, which are rare in Japan, were the promised lands in the minds of countless people at that time.

The environment of the plain is not only suitable for farming and grazing, but also avoids the miasma in the mountains and the harassment of wild animals. Just press the seeds on the ground casually, and you can harvest a heavy ear of rice in autumn.

At that time, countless people desperately wanted to run here, which made sense.

Among the three plain cities, Kyoto was the well-deserved leader at that time.

The reason could not be simpler.

The supreme ruler of Japan is the heir of the gods in the myths and legends. Until today, the residence of the "Sky Locust", which still occupies a place in the Japanese political arena, is in Kyoto.

Do I need to say more about the location and prosperity of the 'Sky Locust'?

The army against mortals stands majestic, but it is difficult to deal with supernatural psykers.

The aristocrats who worshiped gathered into social circles to stabilize the country, and the wealthy businessmen brought a lot of wealth and enough supplies for the whole city to eat and drink.

Coupled with the art of dance music, the literati who recite poems, and the gifts of culture and materials from the kingdom of heaven from time to time.

Whether it is security, culture, or the most basic material expenses, as long as you have a lot of strength and are willing to work hard, it is not difficult to live in Kyoto.

You only need to put in the same effort as growing crops in the countryside, and you can live a life that is several times, or even ten times, richer than in the countryside. If this is not the promised land of the Japanese people, what else can it be.

Here, the difficulty of "going to Beijing" and the affluent life that can be obtained after "going to Beijing" became a kind of expectation of the Japanese people at that time.

When everyone speaks of the word "Shangjing", it contains the yearning for future life and the strong will to cross the poor mountains and rivers to reach the promised land.

Everyone who left the place of birth and went to Kyoto knew what was waiting for him ahead, but it was precisely because of the future he could see that inspired countless people to keep going forward.

Just like the reality, if there are progress bars for learning, fitness and other things, I am afraid that a large number of elite students will emerge.

At that time, the word "Shangjing" in Japan was a kind of "progress bar". Everyone knew the dangers that the progress bar would encounter when "reading", but at the same time, everyone also understood that the "reading" of the progress bar 'After that, I waited for my own 'result'.

All Japanese people, even the humblest and poorest mud-legged people, can understand the meaning of "Shangjing". How could those dignitaries living in Kyoto, literati and refined scholars not know it.

However, compared with those ordinary people who are looking forward to going to Kyoto to seek a living, they have a different view of "going to Beijing" who have already taken root in Kyoto.

A group of nobles, literati and wealthy businessmen, why can't they use the same words to call Kyoto as the poor mud legs?

These people began to think that the meaning of the word Shangjing could be changed again.

As for the final conclusion, there is actually nothing special. It is nothing more than free translation of the word "upper" into "upper class" and "upper class", which means that Kyoto is very expensive. It can also be compared with Osaka and Nara. The adjacent plain cities are compared.

Ever since, after the free translation of this name was determined, many organizations in Kyoto at that time began to use this name.

Of course, only organizations that are qualified enough can be named "Shangjing", otherwise it will cause displeasure to the locusts.

The alliance formed by the combination of all sectarian forces in the entire capital undoubtedly has this qualification, and the name of the alliance is also taken as "Shangjing Tianyun League".

The word "Shangjingtian" has the meaning of Kyoto, and at the same time, it represents that the Kyoto Psychic Alliance was under the control and under the banner of Tianlocust. "Cloud" means that there are many sects in the alliance, but they work together, regardless of you and me.

...but that's what it says in the information, but the actual situation is another matter.

The original intention of the Shangjing Tianyun League was not to unify sectarian forces, exorcising demons and killing ghosts with one heart and soul.

The original intention of this organization was to resist the Japanese government at that time!

The confrontation between ZF and sectarian forces has existed since ancient times.

It is true that in ancient times when science and technology were underdeveloped, the extraordinary power mastered by psychics had the power to control the fate of women's families and control the life and death of common people...but don't forget the samurai in the Japanese army!

In the ancient era of endless wars, the most brilliant ones were not the priestesses, but the ones who survived from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood. Top Samurai! !

Why did the modern Japanese samurai decline?

The biggest reason is the lack of actual combat, the lack of life-and-death battles, so that the strength of the warriors will be stagnant, falling behind the priestesses and priests who only need to practice spiritual power to become stronger.

In ancient times, those who really stood at the pinnacle of military power were never those religious personnel who were weak and could only pretend to be gods and ghosts, and call talismans and spells.

Instead, they are fierce, battle-hardened, muscular warriors!

If a samurai from the Warring States period was allowed to travel to the modern age and see the situation in the modern Japanese spiritual energy world, he would probably be shocked from ear to ear.

——Those weak chickens can't do it. When can the witch priest who can cut the bone in half with a single knife, can be pressed on the head of the samurai? !

Different times bring about different changes.

In ancient Japan, sectarian forces were the ones who were really 'oppressed' by the Japanese zf!

Facing the bloody and frightening army, the psykers of the sectarian forces had nothing to do.

You can't fight and you can't fight, and you can't talk about it.

It is impossible for the Japanese zf to relax the control over sectarian psykers.

The reason couldn't be simpler.

In the eyes of the ruler, a group that is not under their own orders but possesses powerful and extraordinary powers is no different from robbers and bandits who may mess up their minds at any time.

If it weren't for the need to use them in supernatural events, and the cautiousness of the gods who might send divine punishment, the locust would have ordered the army to wipe out all these sectarian forces immediately!

In this extremely unfriendly situation to the sectarian forces, one can imagine how miserable the situation of the sectarian forces at that time was.

Not to mention the spiritual energy resources needed for cultivation, even the three meals a day and daily necessities all depend on the face of the shogunate!

It is not guaranteed that one day you will offend a high-ranking and powerful warrior, and the material ration for that month will be cut in half abruptly. I don’t know how many people in the sect will go hungry because of this...

It was under such circumstances that the sectarian forces couldn't hold back any longer, so they formed the 'Shangjing Tianyun Alliance'.

The purpose of forming this organization is also very simple, it is to unite all the sectarian forces in Kyoto, so as to obtain the ability to compete with the Japanese zf... At least you can't always be hungry, right?

But the idea is beautiful, the reality is cruel.

At that time, Kyoto was the back garden of the locust, and there were all kinds of eyeliners headed by ninjas. How could a gathering organized by a group of sectarians who had never been secretly trained be able to hide from the ninjas who were proficient in hiding and spying.

The information of the alliance was quickly presented to Tianlocust's table, and the subsequent development was very simple.

The leaders of all medium and large sectarian forces in the alliance were 'friendly' invited by the warriors to Locust Residence.

After the "harmonious" communication with Tianlocust and a group of warriors with "benevolent eyebrows and kind eyes" standing in the temple, the leaders of the sectarian forces declared their absolute obedience to the ZF management, and changed the name of the alliance to 'Shangjing Tianyun League'.

The leaders of all sectarian forces all expressed that the alliance is a dog of the locust, which comes and goes when it is called, and has to wag its tail all the time to express its joy of serving the locust.

At this point, the leaders of all sectarian forces were able to leave the locust's house without any surprises, one by one, in the satisfaction of the locust.

And this is why the name "Shangjing Tianyun League" sounds domineering, but it is actually the origin of the alliance that condenses the history of the aggrieved history of ancient Japanese sectarian forces.

Chapter 470 Seven Times Are Changing!

Time flies to modern times. With the occurrence of the black ship incident, the people of the Lighthouse country bombarded Japan, which had been closed to the outside world for more than two hundred years, with strong ships and sharp guns.

While the lighthouse country signed many unequal treaties with Japan, it also brought a brand new trend and unheard of technology to Japan, which has been dull for a long time. Finally, under the leadership of Meiji Tianlocust, Japan launched a campaign to change the destiny of the country. 'the Meiji Reform'.

The shogunate rule that lasted for more than [-] years came to an end. At the same time, in order to maintain its own rule, the Meiji Heavenly Locust issued the "Forbidden Sword Order" without hesitation, fearing that the samurai might make a comeback.

The promulgation of the ban on swords was extremely sudden, and the speed of execution was extremely fast. The shogunate fell, and the samurai who had a difficult life never imagined that the Meiji locust would do such a terrible thing.

What kind of knife ban is this!

This is to break the root of the samurai! !

It was not that the warriors at that time did not think of rebelling, but

Everything came too fast.

In front of the guns and iron artillery team newly formed by Meiji Tianlocust, apart from the A-level swordsman, only the B-level swordsman can fight one or two, and the samurai of other levels can't use their bodies to resist the flames spewing out of the sky. Steel shot!

Even if you want to resist, you will be smashed into a sieve by muskets in a face-to-face meeting!

Even if you try your best to kill a few people, or even a dozen or dozens of people, so what?

Soldiers who use muskets only need to be roughly trained for less than half a month to go into battle and pull the trigger, while a warrior with even C-level strength needs years of training and tempering. The "rareness" between the two is fundamental Not one level.

The former is a consumable that can be used as a disposable item, while the latter is an elite that dies one less.

It's a pity that under the technology, this gap has been infinitely reduced to the minimum, and the warriors can no longer even gain an advantage in the battle with this group of ordinary people.

Seeing that the warriors were dying and fleeing, those sword masters and great sword masters at the top could not sit still.

With their strength, the "Knife Prohibition Order" is just a dead letter to them, and no stunned youth really dares to touch their bad head with a piece of paper.

As long as they remain calm, even the Meiji Heavenly Locust, who had already controlled the entire Japan at that time, would have nothing to do with them.

However, how can a samurai be such a cowardly and incompetent person.

The blood in the bones of every warrior who has come out of the battle of mountains of corpses and seas of blood cannot be hidden.

Even a wolf wearing ten layers of sheepskin can't cover up the bloody smell underneath.

Within a few days after the "Knife Ban Order" was issued, the Juggernauts moved.

At that time, there were 34 strong men in Japan who had reached the realm of sword masters. Apart from those who were alone, ignored the world, and those who were unwilling to take part in the action, there were 27 sword masters who stood up to respond to the action and planned to restore the inferiority of the samurai. people.

27 Juggernauts, this number is unimaginable now.

After all, before Wei Xuxu, there were only six sword masters in Japan, and it has been 20 years since the breakthrough of the last sword master. It can be said that the high-end combat power of the sword circle has already appeared an obvious fault.

But in that war era, countless battlefields produced sword masters one after another, and all of them had extremely rich actual combat experience. The number of strong warriors in the entire warrior group was far from what it is now.

After the 27 Juggernauts and their sects stood up, the rest of the middle sects who were still on the sidelines or retreated also stood up to respond to the call of the Juggernauts.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention that only a few years have passed since the fall of the shogunate. The warriors at that time were still strong, far from showing their current decline. As long as someone takes the lead, they can crush all powerful enemies .

——That was indeed true in the first place.

Led by 27 sword masters, more than a thousand great sword masters, and tens of thousands of warriors, this is a force capable of shaking the foundation of Japan.

What's more, it was not a few years before the Meiji Heavenly Locust accepted the ruling power of Japan, and the foundation was not strong at all, and the lighthouse country that only wanted to grab benefits in Japan was also unreliable.

If the samurai were determined to raise their banners to rebel, the Meiji Heavenly Locust would most likely be turned into a complete puppet by the angry samurai, and the samurai would re-establish the shogunate ruled by the samurai regime.

This is an extremely critical node.

The samurai win, and Japan will return to the shogunate era.

If Meiji wins, Japan will enter a brand-new modernization.

This important turning point happened when several sword masters headed by the warrior camp went to the locust residence to "negotiate" with the Meiji locust.

It has to be said that the Meiji Skylocust, who has changed the future of the entire Japan and even the world pattern by himself, does have its own uniqueness.

This person looks taciturn on the surface, but he is extremely ruthless in his bones.

Regardless of whether he was treating himself or others, the methods were extremely ruthless.

Long before the "Knife Ban Order" was promulgated, the Meiji Heavenly Locust predicted [-]% to [-]% of the next movements of the samurai.

The samurai would resist, as he had expected.

It was also within his expectation that the sword masters would stand up and call out.

Even the sword masters would break into the locust residence to force the palace, and even plan to rebuild the shogunate regime, using themselves as puppets. The Meiji locust had already expected it.

From the very beginning, he had planned everything.

When the samurai broke into the locust residence and the living room aggressively, what the samurai saw was not the panic-stricken Meiji locust as expected, but a super-large multi-integrated spell that could limit and imprison even the gods. Array.

When the warriors fell into panic because of this sudden situation, even the sword masters couldn't understand it, and when they couldn't break free from the shackles of the large compound formation, what slowly appeared in front of them was headed by the palace chiefs of the six major shrines today. Leaders of a group of shrines and temples.

The moment they saw these people, the warriors fully understood that their actions were doomed to fail today long before they started.

The leaders of the shrine and temple forces remained silent, and did not say a word to these old opponents in front of them.

They just bowed and lined up, leaving a path in the middle, and even the companies of the six big shrines bowed their heads respectfully, as if they were waiting for the arrival of an emperor who could control their destiny.

And at the end of the passage, the warriors all saw their 'goal' this time.

The panic-stricken Meiji sky locust, who they thought would be frightened by the intrusion of the samurai, was sitting on the locust seat, staring at them coldly with indifferent eyes.

Led by several sword masters, all of them are elite fighters, more than a hundred elite warriors who can decide the outcome of a game on a local battlefield, in front of such an ordinary person, in such a situation that does not even have spiritual power In the eyes of ordinary people, they are like a group of dead people.

Only then did the samurai realize that the Meiji locust was simply a monster in human skin.

His body didn't have the blood of an extraordinary creature, and he didn't have the power to crush stones with bare hands like an extraordinary person. In a real fight, even a samurai apprentice who just got started could decapitate another person within three rounds.

But it was just such an ordinary person, an ordinary person who was physically weak due to years of official duties, but he was like a godless king, ruling the lives of dozens of A-level powerhouses present, and even the future of the entire Japanese spiritual world.

The future of the Japanese psychic world, the lives of the samurai, will be determined in just one look or one sentence of his.

The samurai could not fight back, nor could they resist.

Long before the Juggernauts led a team to break into the entire locust residence, dozens of A-level psykers jointly carved out a giant magic circle that could stop even a god in person.
