Chapter 562: Qiyun Temple

Stompe... Stompe... Takeda Katsuyori and his group of more than 40 people rode on Tianmu Mountain with difficulty.

"My lord! There's a temple there! Looks like there's a trail ahead! Katsushi saw a temple on a hill not far away, and there was a passable mountain path in front of the temple.

"Quick! Go there! If you have a road, you can get out! As if he saw hope, Takeda's spirit was lifted.

"Drive! Drive! The crowd hurried in the direction of the temple.

"Lord, where should we go next?" Nagasaka Nagakan followed closely behind Katsuyori Takeda.

"Hmm... Get out of here first, and... Then let's go to Iwaki Castle in Ueno. "Takeda Katsuyori is also in a mess in his mind now, and he really can't think of any other place to go. He knew that with the defection of Nobukun Anayama and Nobushige Oyamada, Kai Kuni... Also lost...

Looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, this sentence is not wrong at all, the temple looks not far away, but in fact, the mountain road is tortuous, and it takes a long time to reach the temple gate.

"Qiyun Temple... It turned out to be here..."Takeda Katsuyori raised his eyes and looked at the plaque at the temple gate, slightly distracted, but he didn't expect to run here in a panic.

Qiyun Temple, Rinzai Temple, the deity believes in Sakya Rulai, and its main hall mountain number is called "Tianmu Mountain". In the temple is enshrined a pagoda with the rank of the thirteenth Takeda Governor, Takeda Nobumitsu.

Takeda Nobumitsu, the shortest-serving governor in the history of the Kai Takeda clan, succeeded after his father's death in 1413 and was killed in the 1417 Kanto Uesugi Zenhide Rebellion. Since Nobuyitsu died on the Ten Thieves Mountain not far from this temple, the mausoleum was moved to this place.

When Katsuyori Takeda was very young, he followed his father, Shingen Takeda, to this temple and offered military flags, military equipment, and mirrors to the tomb tower of Nobumitsu.

Now, after many years, he has returned here by accident.

"My lord! Lord! My subordinates have inquired! This mountain road... This mountain road goes north! You can get to Ueno! Katsuzi ran over happily, he had just gone to the temple to inquire about the news.

"Is it..."Takeda Katsuyori was not very interested, in fact, just after seeing the plaque, he knew where this was, the burial place of a generation of family heads!

"My lord! Let's go! Nagasaka was urging that the Hosokawa army would chase after him at any time, and he didn't think that there were more than 100 people, how long could he delay.

"Good! Launched! Drive! Takeda Katsuyori swept away the gloom in his heart, and as soon as he clamped the horse's belly, he was about to continue on his way.

Hiss! As a result, the war horse under the seat was weak, and even the people and horses fell to the ground together.

"My lord! Madam! How are you! Everyone hurriedly dismounted and stepped forward to help Takeda Katsuyori and Mrs. Hojo.

"It's okay, it's okay." Katsuyori Takeda stood up and looked at his beloved horse, his limbs stiff and foaming at the mouth, obviously exhausted.

"My lord, ride your horses." Katsuki Kibe took the initiative to lead his horse and gave way to Katsuyori Takeda.

"Good!" Katsuyori Takeda nodded, turned on his horse, and was about to bring his wife with him. As a result, the horse's hooves also weakened, and he fell and gnawed on the mud with one mouth, and now his mouth was broken.

"Huh? Subordinates damn it! Subordinates damn it! Please, the Lord punishes you! When he saw that he had injured the lord's body, he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and received his own punishment.

Hiss! As if it was an infectious disease, Nagasaka's horse also screamed miserably, foaming at the mouth and dying of exhaustion.

"This..."Everyone felt an inexplicable sadness, as if it heralded the feeling of imminent death.

"Hey... Probably because the ancestors were here, they didn't go in to worship when they saw us, so that's why it's like this. Takeda Katsuyori had no choice but to use the dead ghost Shinman as an excuse to dispel everyone's fears.

"It's... Oh, yes... Hehe, my subordinates think it's strange... Just now, the group of monks asked us if we had come to worship. Originally... It turns out that there is a spiritual seat of the ancestor in it. "Traces of Katsuzi also hurried to cover.

"That's... Lord... Then let's go in and worship the ancestors? Only... Just for a moment? Nagasaka had no choice but to go along with it, but vaguely reminded him that time is precious, so pay attention to fleeing quickly.

"Well, Shengzi, long leisure! Accompany me, my wife and Nobu Katsu to worship our ancestors! A few of you stay outside, just in time for the horses to rest. With that, Katsuyori Takeda raised his legs and walked towards the gate of the temple.

As soon as you enter the temple, everything inside is the same as the memory of childhood, the pure temple, in the center is the solemn "Tianmu Mountain" main hall, and... The Treasure Seal Pagoda on the right.

"There it is!" Katsuyori Takeda locked on to it at a glance and walked over quickly.

"Shinkatsu! This is the thirteenth generation head of my Takeda family: Ming An Gong! Come and see the ancestors, the ancestors are a generation of heroes who dominate the battlefield and bravely serve righteously! Takeda Katsuyori pulled over to Nobukatsu and looked at Takeda Nobumitsu's tablet, which read, "The Great Monk of the Temple of the Temple."

*************

"Salute!" The abbot of the temple on the side, who was in charge of the worship ceremony, did not bring any sacrificial supplies because he fled for his life, so he simply bowed, and then he should offer tribute.

Takeda Katsuyori and his wife and grandson Nobukatsu saluted respectfully, and there were words in their mouths, probably wanting to say how to bless his father and son, and how to bless the Takeda family.

"Gift!" After the salute, the abbot sang another harmony.

Nagasaki Nagasaki and Katsushi Shibe on the side immediately held it carefully and respectfully offered tribute. These two tributes are not ordinary, they are actually the family treasures of the Takeda family: the Hinomaru Imperial Banner and the Shield Armorless.

This plaster flag of the Takeda family is said to be the oldest national flag in Japan. The reason why the Hinomaru Imperial Banner and the Shield Armor are revered as supreme treasures is that they are said to have been used by Empress Shinko (170-269) in the ancient days of Hitomoto when she conquered Samhan (Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo), and after Sanhan became a vassal to Empress Shinko, Empress Shinko enshrined them at Sumiyoshi Shrine in Settsu Province.

In the fifth year of Eijo (1050), Minamoto Yoriyoshi received the decree of Emperor Goryumi to go to conquer Mutsu Dewa, and before the expedition he visited Sumiyoshi Shrine, and that night, Sumiyoshi Daimyō asked Minamoto Yoriyoshi to dream, and gave him the Hinomaru Imperial Banner and Shield Armor, and wished him victory, and these two treasures went to the hands of Kiyowa Genji.

According to legend, the Qing and Genji have eight-collared armor that is the heirloom of the family, which is named respectively: "Bo Jin, Gentai Cloth, Ze Yuan, Dun Wu, Knee Pill, Eight Dragons, Month and Day." ”

Generally speaking, these eight-collar armor are inherited and kept by the suzerain of the Seiwa Genji clan, but Minamoto Yoriyoshi passed on the "shield no armor" and another treasure "Hinomaru Imperial Banner" to Gen Yoshimitsu, which shows his love for this little son, and Gen Yoshimitsu is the direct ancestor of the Kai Takeda clan of the later Warring States period.

As the name suggests, "shield without armor" is armor that is very strong and does not require a shield when worn on the body.

In addition, the family crest of the Takeda family, the cutting rhombus, is taken from the loose skin rhombic pattern on the sleeve of the shield armor. Therefore, the shield armor and the Hinomaru Imperial Banner can also be regarded as the symbol of the Takeda family.

"Father! When the child grows up, he will be like the ancestors, and lead my Takeda family to expand the territory! Create the supreme cause! After the worship, Takeda Nobukatsu looked at his father very seriously.

"Good, good. Remember what you said today! After saying that, Takeda Katsuyori glanced at the two treasures again, and the reason why he stayed here was because he was afraid that he would be damaged in the process of escaping.

In the future, I will still get it back! But...
