72. Abe Harumaki and the Nine-Tails 2
(3000 words, water, sorry.) Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoToday is a blast. )
I don't know how long it was, it seemed like a moment, it seemed like hours.
Finally.
Under the bright moonlight, a white fox shadow slowly fell from the sky and landed in front of Abe Harumi.
After landing, the fox immediately glanced at Abe Harumi gently.
And Abe Harumi, who was only five years old, couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart anymore after seeing the fox demon who he could only see once a month appear in front of him, and rushed towards the nine-tailed demon fox with all his might.
The size of the nine-tailed demon fox is the size of a bus, and looking at Abe Qingming who was running towards her, she didn't dodge, and was directly hit by Abe Qingming.
After all, it's the size of a bus. How could she be afraid of a child's collision.
It's just that if Yakumoji Temple is again at this time, he will definitely be shocked to find out.
The fox demon in front of him is none other than the fox demon that led him away from Abe Harumaki in the first place!
The demonic aura on her body is exactly the same as the demonic aura of the few fox feathers hidden in the box!
"Qingming, do you miss me?"
The fox demon asked.
"Hmm. I miss you so much, Mother. ”
Haruaki Abe replied.
But what exactly is ...... word 'mother'?
Haruaki Abe's mother...... How could it be a nine-tailed demon fox? and it seems to be ...... Abe Harumi's life experience has always been a mystery.
In modern times, people have done a detailed investigation of Abe's life experience.
Harumaki Abe, according to the family chart of the Abe clan, was the son of Abe Masai (あべのますき), a lower-ranking nobleman of the Daizen Daifu, and was born in Abeno (now Abeno Ward, Osaka City) in Settsu Province.
It is said that he is the son of Abe Nakamaro. The year of birth is unknown, and the record of dying at the age of 85 in September of the second year of Kuanhiro (1005, the mentally retarded author changed the year) may have been born in the 21st year of Yanxi (920).
There is also a saying that he died at the age of 45. (The records of the Tuyumen family are different.) There are no detailed records in his childhood, but he learned the way of onmyoji under the disciple of the onmyoji Kamo Tadayuki and the father and son of Baoxian, and was appreciated by Baoxian and was taught the way of astronomy.
The definite record of Abe Harumi appears in 960 AD, when Emperor Murakami appointed Harumi divination, who was then still a member of the Onmyo-ryo (subordinate to Onmyo-ryo and equivalent to the personal assistant to the head of the Onmyoji). Although Harumi came to prominence late, his divination talent has been highly recognized by the Japanese imperial family and aristocratic society. After that, he was appointed Doctor of Astronomy.
In 979, at the age of 59, Harumi was ordered by the crown prince (later Emperor Hanayama) to go to Nachisan to perform a ceremony to seal the tengu. From then on, Harumi seems to have gained the trust of Emperor Hanayama, and the records detail Harumi's execution of the Onmyodo ritual.
After the abdication of Emperor Hanayama, Harumi also gained the high trust of Emperor Ichijo and Fujiwara Michicho, as can be seen from Fujiwara Michicho's diary "Midoseki Hakuki" and the diaries of other nobles.
As an onmyoji, Harumi is very prestigious, and has served in important positions such as Doctor Sakyo Quan, Granary Temple, Harima Mamoru and other important positions, and his status has also risen all the way to the fourth place due to Fujiwara Michicho's trust and strong work ability, and has become an insurmountable peak of the Onmyoji in the Heian period.
In addition, Harumi's two sons, Yoshimasa and Yoshihei, were also appointed as doctors of astronomy and head of the Yin and Yang family, and the Abe family also became a family of Onmyo-do in Harumi's generation, which can be compared to the Kamo clan who are loyal to their master. Because he is the son of the white fox, the world calls him the "white fox son".
To say that he is a white fox boy has something to do with his parents.
Abe Harumi's father is usually considered to be a low-ranking nobleman Abe Masaki who is a doctor of the Great Diet, and there are many legends about his mother, the most common one is that his mother is a white fox (influenced by the Japanese belief in the god Inari), named Yuno Kai.
According to "The Tale of Kuzuha Monogatari", Abe rescued a white fox from the evil emon that is the fox fairy "Kuzuba" who has been practicing in the Shinta Forest of Izumi Province for many years. After the transformation of a person and a good material fell in love, and then gave birth to Qingming.
When Qingming was five years old, he unexpectedly saw his mother's original form as a fox, and the moment of separation came. Kudzu leaves her weeping young son and returns to the forest. "If you miss it, look for it...... The deepest part of Izumi Shinta Forest, Kudzu no Ha ...... "The song that is repeated repeatedly, that is the last words that the mother gave to the child, and in the future, Qingming will follow the instructions of this song, and will be able to see his mother in the secret place of the forest again, but the official Japanese version is that Abe Harumi's mother is a mountain person, and her name is unknown."
But there are also legends that Abe Harumi does not have parents, but is transformed by himself in all things.
Modern research believes that in fact, Abe Masasai should have married a low-ranking woman at that time, or a low-status girl such as a mountain folk wandering girl, and in the later period, in order to cover up this disgraceful fact or deliberately deify Abe Harumi, there was a legend of the white fox kudzu, in order to consolidate Abe Harumi's status and mystery in people's hearts.
But...... Even though he has the name of the white fox boy, shouldn't his mother be just a white fox?
Why is it a nine-tailed demon fox?
The nine-tailed demon fox that has a relationship with Abe Harumaki, only Tamamo front!!And the so-called relationship is still the relationship between Tamaki's grandson who once sealed Tamamo before!
In the earliest legends of Japan, Tamamae only appears as the image of the fox spirit who bewitches Emperor Toba in the legend, and has nothing to do with the image of the Chinese "fox spirit" Daji and Bao Xi.
Later, because of the creation of Japanese novels and kabuki, the image gradually changed, and gradually combined it with the evil girl [[Daji]] or [[褒姒]] of [[China]], some works say that she is Daji, and some works say that she is Bao Xi.
She was born in China, and legend has it that it is the crystallization of yin qi and knows the art of humanization.
In the eleventh century BC, she incarnated as a stunning beauty Daji and became the favorite concubine of Xin, the prince of Shang at that time. Under Daji's coercion, the Shang people lived in misery before being overthrown by the emerging Zhou regime in the west.
The demon fox also went to India and became the princess Hua Yangtian, the prince of the country of Moji, and then returned to China and lived an incognito life for the time being.
During the Tang Dynasty, Japan sent an envoy to China, and the demon fox slipped into Kibi Shinbi's ship and came to Japan. After that, hundreds of years later, the self-proclaimed "Tamamo Mae" gained the favor and trust of Emperor Toba.
Later, the emperor fell ill and was confined to her bed, and the ministers became suspicious of her and asked Abe Yasuko (Abe Haruaki's grandson) to secretly divinate her.
As a result, the true face of "Tamamo Front" was finally revealed, and it turned out to be a nine-tailed demon fox from China, so she fled the capital and hid far away.
――――Konima, isn't Daji Yakumo Blue!!
What kind of trouble is this situation now!!
………………
When Abe Harumi said that he missed his mother very much, the nine-tailed demon fox slowly faded from the shape of a fox and turned into a human.
I have to say that the faces of the fox demons who are famous for their charm are really at the level of alluring cities and countries!
This transformed face will be ranked first in Gensokyo in the future!
"This time, Mother has brought you a gift again, it's no longer a scripture. ”
The fox demon said, took out a book wrapped in cloth from his bosom and handed it to Abe Harumi.
"Mother, when will you be able to live with Qingming? Qingming doesn't want to let her mother wander outside anymore. ”
Abe asked.
Filial piety comes first. It seems that the young Abe Harumi is not only excellent in onmyoji, but also self-taught in filial piety.
Can...... Somehow.
The nine-tailed demon fox trembled violently after hearing Abe Qingming's words.
She was actually afraid of Abe Harumi! Afraid of her own son, who was only five years old!
It's just that...... I don't know if she is afraid of Abe Harumi's thoughts or yin and yang.
"Qingming is good, when Qingming becomes the head of the Yin Yang Liao, you can take your mother home. What Qingming should do now is still practice. ”
"Oh......"
Abe Harumi muttered the most.
Seeing this, the nine-tailed demon fox breathed a sigh of relief and spoke again.
"This time, what my mother gave to Qingming was not a Taoist book, but a military book! Qingming should remember to study hard and use it in the future. ”
"Yes!"
Haruaki Abe replied.
But at this moment, just after Abe Qingming finished answering this sentence, the nine-tailed demon fox in front of him disappeared directly and silently in front of Abe Qingming.
"Mother is walking so fast again this time. ”
Harumaki Abe muttered to himself, and then immediately opened the package of the book sent by his mother and read it excitedly.
Yin and Yang techniques, Abe Qing understands.
Taoism, Abe Harumi also understands.
Can...... The art of war, Abe Harumi doesn't understand.
I don't understand why my mother gave me books on the art of war, but ...... He was very fond of the art of war books given by her mother.
I love books on the art of war not only because it's a 'mother's gift'.
In fact, Abe Harumi was very envious of the generals in the Japanese court.
I think they can command more than 100,000 soldiers to fight, it's very impressive!
The young Abe Haruaki also fantasized that one day he would lead tens of thousands of soldiers to fight, and he would be majestic.
And now, the most important art of war on the march and in battle can be learned by himself, how can this not make him happy and excited?!
When I opened the package, I saw three books wrapped inside. Each of these three books ...... They are all books that are related to marching and fighting.
The titles of the books are: "Thirty-six Strategies", "The Art of War", and "The Art of War".
Every Art of War is a small atomic bomb!
If it is placed in the hands of an unknown general in Europe, it is enough to make those fools in Europe who dare to guard the city gate with one or two hundred knights be unified by it in an instant!
As long as the man who has learned the art of war does not be stupid.
It's just that...... Why is every art of war a book on the Shenzhou Continent?
