Chapter 38 Study hard and make progress every day
Natsume knew that after learning the task, although he was a little strange about the content of this course, the well-behaved Natsume didn't ask, anyway, he would always know after studying.
"Alright, let's start class. Miko Sakurakami placed Natsume on the desk in the gazebo and prepared to start class.
As for why Natsume was placed on the desk, of course, it was because Natsume's size was too petite, and if he put it on the seat, would he still see Natsume's figure?
Natsume could only stay under the table, so let's get down to business.
"I also told you that today's learning content is a course to mobilize divine power, so what is this divine power?" Natsume shook her furry little head in confusion to show that she didn't know, and Miko Sakurakami smiled and didn't care and began to continue to tell Natsume: "Divine power is a general term for a high-level energy system between heaven and earth. There are many kinds of it, but it is not something that can be seen casually, only the gods can control and use it. Natsume asked curiously when he heard this: "When I was in the demon world with my parents before, I once got a demon power essence, and they said that it was a priceless treasure that contained divine power left behind after the death of the monster. Then why do youkai also have divine powers?"
"There are eight million gods in Shinto in Japan, and everything has a spirit, and there are gods everywhere you go. Many of them are monsters who have cultivated to become gods, and there are several ways for this monster to become gods. The first one takes advantage of the fear of human beings for youkai to gather more and more fear of the future for their own use and transform it into their own powerful strength to become a god. The second is the use of human beings
The idea that God dwells all things in the world, which holds that all things were created by God and that there are gods in all things.
In this way, the people who felt the changes of the seasons and the abundance of nature and their national character came up with the idea of worshipping nature as a god.
Using this idea to guide human beings to respect themselves, they have cultivated into gods through the worship and offering of incense to human beings over time,,。
Due to the rapid development of the modern world and the loss of faith among young people, these gods that are believed to exist will completely disappear.
Most of the eight million gods in Takamagahara are of this kind, and most of them live in mortal shrines, and only in October every year when Kannatsuki rushes back to Takamagahara from Izumo to attend meetings.
(In Japan, October is called Kamino Moon, and in Izumo it is called Kamino Moon.) God has no moon meaning
It is said that the reason for the "moon of the departure of the gods" is that during this time, various gods from all over Japan gather
"Izumo" this place to have a meeting. In Japan except
"Izumo" this place put
"God has no moon" called
Except for "God has a moon", other places will be called
"God has no moon". Japanese folk believe that eight million gods gather in Izumo in October, and there are no gods in all parts of Japan except Izumo.
Izumo calls it October
"God has a moon". But in fact, it's just that these low-level gods are not high in rank and their divine power is not high, and they can't leave their shrine for too long to live in Takamagahara, and they can only return to Takamagahara from Izumo in October. He took a sip of tea and continued: "But after mankind entered the industrial civilization, some gods dissipated from heaven and earth due to the disappearance of the last worship, and the number of gods can always be seen decreasing every year when the gods return to Takamagahara. Seeing Miko Sakurami's somewhat lonely expression, Natsume comforted: "Aunt Miko, don't be sad, although they have all dissipated, I believe they will still watch us from the sky." Looking at Natsume's worried eyes, Miko Sakurakami touched his head: "I have been in Takamagahara for so many years, and as the hub of Takamagahara, I know a lot of things, so I feel it deeply! ”
"Okay, let's go on, in addition to these two kinds of relying on external forces to become gods, there are also those who only rely on their own ability to cultivate, transform demonic power into divine power, and then become gods. This kind of god-like youkai is generally very powerful, such as the Daoseiji Temple bell you saw before. There is also the use of merit to become a god, which requires the accumulation of a very large amount of merit, which is very rare now, and it cannot be produced in troubled times. But you don't need any of these, you are born with a divine body, and what flows in your body is divine power, as long as you learn to use divine power, you will be a god after the coming-of-age ceremony. ”
"Actually, there are some similarities between the methods of mobilizing divine power and cultivating to become gods that we are going to learn today, and we need to go through meditation (meditation is the way to achieve concentration, through meditation to eliminate distracting thoughts and thoughts, and to transcend material desires. Feeling and communicating directly with the primordial cause, the true meaning of meditation is to fully concentrate the mind, mind, and spirit in the primordial beginning. Sink deep into your body and mind, feel the pervasive divine powers in your body and find a way to mobilize them. Natsume suddenly said, "None, Aunt Miko, I've seen it before! ”
"It seems that our little Natsume has experienced it, so it's good that you start to think back to your previous feelings, and enter this feeling again to mobilize the power in your blood and meridians so that you can speak human language, and even become human for a short time in the future. Hearing this, Natsume's eyes lit up a little, and he hurriedly agreed: "Okay, Aunt Miko, I must study hard." Natsume swears.
Miko Sakurakami also smiled and arrived. began to enter the actual combat Listening to Miko Sakurami's password, Natsume followed step by step
"Breathe evenly, concentrate and feel carefully..... "It didn't take long for Miko Sakurakami to step into that mysterious feeling again, and successfully saw the golden energy.
Carefully trying to guide it, but failed, and when Natsume failed many times, he instantly withdrew from this feeling when he was a little anxious.
"Is this a success?" asked Miko Sakurami. Natsume said his question blankly: "I saw them, but they didn't move, and then they suddenly came out." ”
"It's normal not to move, you are still too young and not strong enough to mobilize the divine power in your body, so now you only need to meditate to exercise your mental power, and when your mental power is enough, you can naturally mobilize it. There are two reasons why you suddenly come out, the first is that your mood swings are too big and too demanding. The other is that your mental strength is not enough to support your long-term internal vision. Natsume is also silently reflecting, she seems to be in a hurry, everything has to be done step by step, not just thinking about it.
