After taking a closer look at Zhang Qi, Liu Xing smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Zhang, why does he have to be brought to see me, please tell me." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Corporal Lixian, do not take Zhang Qi as a prisoner and humiliate him.

Liu Xing's behavior made Zhang Qi feel a pang in his heart, and he immediately said: "There is a group of heretical cultivators in Japan who have been following King Yu Kang, and when your army goes to attack, remember to be very careful of that group of Japanese cultivators. ”

There's a group of heretic practitioners from Japan? Hearing the news from Zhang Qi's mouth, Liu Xing immediately stared at him: "What kind of different way, what kind of spell to practice, Mr. Zhang, do you know?" ”

"That kind of heterogeneous Japanese people call it 'Shinto', but among the group of people who follow King Kang, many of them are also masters of the Dongying hidden technique." Zhang Qi answered questions immediately and adjusted his breath when he spoke, so that people could not hear that he was a person who was also seriously injured.

On the one hand, he was surprised that Zhang Qi could still self-heal despite his serious injury, and on the other hand, Liu Xing was surprised that the Japanese Shinto and cryptomyctic practitioners actually participated in the internal strife of the Great Song Dynasty with the little lady named Fujiwara.

Shinto did not have an official name at first, until the beginning of the Northern and Southern Dynasties in the Central Plains, when Han Buddhism was introduced to Japan through Baekje and gradually accepted by the Japanese.

In order to compete with the word "Buddhism", the term "Shinto" was coined to distinguish between traditional beliefs inherent in Japan and Buddhism imported from abroad. It is based on the "Nihon Shoki" that "the emperor believes in Buddhism and respects Shinto." For the first time, the term "Shinto" appears.

Although the word "Shinto" is also found in Chinese characters, the concept of the word is actually different between China and Japan. If you interpret Shinto literally in the original way, you will be misled by its name.

The Japanese call all the gods Kami, Kawei, and after the introduction of Chinese characters to Japan, the word "god" was used to mean Kami. The Japanese call the ancestors of the royal family, clans, and the spirits of deceased greats and heroes as kami, and also refer to the spirits of animals, plants, and nature, such as mountains, trees, and foxes, which are considered worthy of worship.

Shinto developed from the primitive religion of Japan, and was originally based on the worship of nature spirits and ancestors, and was roughly divided into three major systems: shrine Shinto, sectarian Shinto, and folk Shinto.

Shinto is a polytheistic sect that claims to have 800,000 gods, 8 million gods, or 15 million gods, and worships Amaterasu, the ancestral god of the sun.

The Pope called the Japanese nation the "Tensun Nation", the emperor a descendant of Amaterasu and his representative on earth, and the emperor is the god of God. The place of worship is called a shrine or shrine, and the clergy are called ancestral officials, ancestral palms, and so on.

When Buddhism was first introduced to Japan, Shinto believers were very opposed, and powerful clans such as the Soga clan from the mainland were staunch supporters. The native Japanese clans, the Monobe clan and the Nakatomi clan, supported Shinto and opposed Buddhism. Buddhist monks possessed advanced knowledge of the mainland, and the emperor supported Buddhism as a result, and Shinto lost power for a while.

However, after the late Tang Dynasty, the power of Buddhist monks increased, and the emperor wanted to suppress the power of Buddhism, so Shinto came to power again, and the two religions gradually began to mix with each other.

In the past, Liu Xing had learned from some Japanese merchants in Shandong in Liangxing who were pro-Central Plains that since the introduction of Buddhism to Dongying, Shinto Buddhism had gradually declined, and now it had actually become a dependent of Buddhism. Even the emperor of little Japan now openly professes to be a believer and practitioner of Buddhism.

In Shinto, the Fujiwara surname in small Japan is the largest group of theocratic daishi. Ever since the Japanese minister Kamazu was given the surname "Fujiwara" during the Northern and Southern Dynasties of the Central Plains, that family has been engaged in the tricks of ******** and swaying the Japanese imperial family.

Therefore, when he heard that Shinto was involved in the internal strife of the Great Song Dynasty, Liu Xing was surprised, but he was not completely shocked.

Compared with the Shintoism that can be suppressed by Buddhism, Liu Xing's most surprising and most interesting thing is actually the hidden technique that Zhang Qi said.

Stealth is a pearl of hidden martial arts in ancient Japanese martial arts, and was originally a tactic used in ancient Japanese martial arts to use hidden weapons and ambushes. Ninjutsu, like the Tang hands that are prevalent in the Japanese army today, have some roots in Chinese martial arts and Buddhism.

Originally derived from a traditional Japanese fighting technique, it was called "assassination" at the time, and later absorbed Chinese concepts such as "The Art of War" and "Liutao". Fusion of Shinto Taoism, Buddhism related mental methods and secret techniques, in the long-term practice and hard training of the independent development of the final formation of the hidden arts.

Like the assassination techniques of the Chinese Assassins, the Hidden Technique was actually an ambush tactic. Later, it was improved by the evolution of the Northern and Southern Dynasties to form its current appearance.

It is very different from those Shinto families, and Liu Xing's most surprising point is that the ninja family has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is difficult for the outside world to know its details. It can be said that Shinto Liu Xing can snoop through those pro-Central Plains Japanese businessmen at any time, but it is difficult to know one of them.

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles. Shinto and the Fujiwara family are easy to perceive, but after the addition of hidden arts, it is difficult to deal with, so Liu Xing's interest in hidden arts and the surprise generated by its access made Liu Xing decide to calm down first and see if the strange person in front of him knows some of the inside information of those guys who are mysterious and assassinate for a living......

"Mr. Zhang, do you know more about the Dongying Hidden Technique?" Standing up straight and looking at Zhang Qi, Liu Xing thought about it and asked Zhang Qi again.

Zhang Qi answered, and immediately replied again: "Xiao Di was fortunate enough to join forces with those Dongying stealth masters to kill the barbarians on Penghu Island in an accident two months ago, so he knows a little. ”

"Then please tell me first, what kind of spells are those hidden arts cultivators good at? What martial arts are good to use? After receiving his answer, Liu Xing immediately asked again.

Asked again, Zhang Qi still didn't think much about it, and immediately replied: "Most of its spells are invisibility techniques that the Japanese call 'divine hidden arts', and after casting the spell, the caster can hide his tracks and sneak for miles or even dozens of miles." The most difficult thing to deal with is which cultivators who perform the 'Divine Hidden Technique' can use their martial arts to kill people in the stealth infiltration. ”

After a pause in his words and a moment of thought, Zhang Qi immediately continued: "The martial arts of those hermits are relatively not terrifying, and the ones I have seen are only two commonly used martial arts. The first is swordsmanship, which uses a weapon similar to a strange sword to kill the opponent. The second is darts, which are used to shoot opponents with strange darts. With the swordsmanship and dart skills of those hermits, most of the martial artists of my Great Song Dynasty can fight back and kill those who have cultivated above or above or those who have cultivated the same spirit.
