Chapter 137: The Transcendent

Noon, school, library.

Today's Su Qi didn't go to pet the cat, but came to the library, what happened last night made him frightened, and he really didn't have the mood to pet the cat today.

Of course, he still has the Xiyuan Temple, where he often goes there and has seen the lazy cat, to help him feed the cat.

……

In the library.

On an empty table, three small livers with long hands and feet sat in a circle on the table, stretching out their little hands to play a game of clapping, making a "poof" sound.

Su Qi sat at the table next to him, and there were several books related to Japanese history on the table, and he was checking the information.

Pages of history are turned back to ancient times.

The Meiji era opened the curtain of the Restoration.

The Tokugawa shogunate was unified, the shogunate system was in place, the samurai rose and fell, and the country was closed to the outside world, and it was the Edo period.

The rise of the daimyo was divided by the Warring States period.

The samurai regime was born in the Kamakura period.

Imperial Shinto mystical prosperity, Heian period.

Prince Shotoku's 12th crown, Asuka period.

The funeral rites of the imperial tomb prevailed, the ancient burial era.

Farming, textile, iron smelting, pottery, Yayoi period.

Primitive knotted rope stone tool civilization, Jomon period.

……

History is gradually traced back to the beginning of civilization, the birthplace of life.

Su Qi flipped through the historical materials, wanting to find the root of the He family through trivial clues.

……

and His.

This terrifying mystical who suddenly appeared.

Just showing the mystery almost made you lose control...... No, it should have gotten out of control.

If it weren't for the eerie octopus statue on the edge of the deep sea, he would have lost control.

This is already the second time that the idol has pulled him back from being out of control, the last time was when he gained 'puberty'.

Every time one of its tentacle whiskers is broken, it seems to be able to help itself resist a loss of control.

Now he has lost control twice, breaking two roots, and there are six left.

This mysterious idol, Su Qi didn't know what was going on for the time being, but it wasn't something he should prioritize at the moment.

And Shi, this dangerous person.

is what Su Qi should pay attention to first.

The other party is behind the Tengu incident.

And he once expressed murderous intent to him.

Yesterday, for some unknown reason, he suddenly appeared in front of him and said something strange.

In the face of this dangerous Heshi, Su Qi can be said to be in a state of ignorance.

That doesn't sound great.

……

Su Qi had already reported the information about the appearance of the He clan to Heimen, but he didn't plan to wait just like that, he completely relied on Heimen, and he was also checking it himself.

He was on the tram last night, and appeared in front of him for a short time, leaving not many clues.

At present, Su Qi can only try to investigate through these trivial clues.

The ancient burial mound is carved with the magatama of Himiko.

These are the two clues that Su Qi was able to discover and impressed at that time.

……

Himiko.

Japan's Yayoi period, the queen of the Yamatai Kingdom,

The founder of the ancient "Ghost Taoism".

Because of the age, it is difficult to find tangible historical materials from the "Nihon Shoki" and "Kojiki".

Yayoi period.

At that time, China had already entered the Eastern Han Dynasty.

But at that time, Japan had just passed through the Stone Age and entered the agricultural age.

The meaning of "Yayoi" is rice, and there is the meaning of agricultural cultivation, and there was no concept of history at that time.

The real historical record only began after the Taika reform of the Asuka period.

Therefore, the actual identity of Himiko is difficult to confirm in Japanese history books, and there are many theories

For example, in the "Nihon Shoki", the traces of the Japanese hundred raids on Hime, in the "Kojiki", the mother of the night Maden Deng, Zeng Bi, the empress of the gods, the daughter of Emperor Taruhito, Yamato Hime, ......

There are various theories, and so on.

In the era when there is no history, the identity will become blurred, and the humble in Japan, just like Yao Shunyu in domestic history, belongs to the historical figures of the chaotic era of ancient civilization.

……

Therefore, Su Qi shifted the scope of consulting materials to domestic history books.

During the Yayoi period, the country was the Eastern Han Dynasty.

……

It is recorded in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty:

The Wa Guohuan and the Lingjian, the Wa Kingdom was in turmoil, and they attacked each other, and there was no owner over the years.

There was a woman's name called, Himihu.

The old man does not marry, and he is a ghost and a god, and he can bewitch the people, so he becomes the king together.

There are thousands of maids and maids, and there are few people who see them, and only one man gives food and drink, and spreads words.

Residence in the palace room, the building view of the city gate, are guarded by soldiers, and the law and customs are severe.

The Wakoku was the name given to Japan at that time, and it had just passed through the Stone Age, and began to metallurgize and burn pottery, agriculture, and civilization.

Himiko was the queen of the Wa Kingdom at that time.

It is also mentioned in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" that this person who originated ghost Taoism is a very mysterious ruler.

Three Kingdoms Period.

Himihu once sent an envoy to the Wei State to make it difficult to promote rice, and was named the general of the good Zhonglang, and Himihu was named the king of Wei.

Based on the comprehensive historical materials of China and Japan, Su Qi barely has a understanding of Himiko's identity.

……

While looking at the information, Su Qi wrote it down in his notebook:

Himiko, Queen of Majitai, Oni Taoism, Yayoi era, sent to Wei......

In his hand, he carries a magatama with the inscription Himihu, which is related to the legendary ancient "ghost Taoism"? Did this ancient religion really exist?

Su Qi put a big circle on the words "Ghost Taoism" to remind himself to pay attention.

……

There are so many clues to Himiko, and then the other one is, the ancient burial mound.

……

Kofun period.

After the end of the Yayoi period, it was the Kofun period, also known as the Yamato period.

At the beginning of this era, the Wa Kingdom entered a period of conflict with Goguryu, that is, the Korean Peninsula, and the five Wa kings often paid tribute to the Jin Dynasty in order to gain support.

At the same time, because the two sides of the strait have become more and more frequent, more and more cultural customs have begun to cross eastward.

Among them, it includes funerals, sacrifices, imperial tombs, tombs, ancient tombs......

Kofun period.

The reason why the name "kofun" is used is largely because of the influence of funeral customs, and the rulers at that time built a large number of kofun.

The famous "Mausoleum of Emperor Naruhito", which is now located in Daisen Town, Sakai City, Japan, is an ancient burial tomb left over from that era.

……

The burial mound building was very popular among the rulers.

Although from the current point of view, it may be difficult to empathize, why did the ancients build their own graves, they could be so enthusiastic and fanatical......

Anyway, in ancient times, it was indeed good to have a large mausoleum.

No matter which country, the Ninety-Five Supreme, even if he dies, he has to lie in the best grave.

It's just that Japan in the Kofun period is more exaggerated.

During the period of the Five Dwarf Kings, the rulers still built tombs, but after Emperor Jitai unified the eastern tribes of Kinai, the Kitakyushu forces failed to follow suit and disintegrated, leading to civil wars among the various tribes.

Then, in order to encourage the people below to fight, the tribal leaders instituted rewards: those who are capable and meritorious are allowed to build small burial mounds.

That's right, the military reward at that time was to allow you to build graves......

Since then, the construction of ancient burial mounds has been out of control, and large and small groups of burial tombs have begun to appear.

At the end of the Kofun period, the number of large and small kofun in the country had reached 100,000.

This situation was not until the Asuka period, when Taika reformed and issued the "Thin Burial Order".

Emperor Kotoku intervened to curb the increasingly extravagant tombs of the nobility and promote cremation.

During the Asuka period, Prince Shotoku reformed and rebuilt Taika, which was Buddhism in Japan at that time.

Buddhist cremation gradually became mainstream, and Buddhist buildings such as temples were built to replace large mausoleums.

At this point, the Kofun period came to an end.

This is also a complete change.

From burial in kofun to Buddhist cremation.

From the ancient burial mounds to the temple.

……

Cultural Eastward Crossing, Ancient Burials, Funerals, Mausoleums......

Su Qi recorded this information on paper.

After pondering for a while, he circled the "Dispatch Wei" that he had written down when he had checked the information on Bei Mihu and the "Cultural Dongdu" that he had just written.

He sent Wei to study domestic culture, and his domestic culture traveled east to Japan, which influenced the rise of the Kofun period.

It's a logical closed loop.

Su Qi found Beimihu to send the envoy to Wei again, and circled the name of the envoy who sent Wei "difficult to ascend rice".

Suppose that this earliest envoy to Wei was a mystic.

So, is it possible that after seeing the "mausoleum funeral" custom in China at that time, he discovered such a ritual that did not exist in his own country, but had great potential to be widely spread, so he brought it back to China as his own mystery and preached and admired it.

This single-handedly contributed to the birth of the Kofun period.

This man-made large-scale mystery lasted for two hundred years during the frenzied construction of ancient tombs at that time, and it flourished for a while.

This model of large-scale mystical construction 1,500 years ago seems to be no different from the frenzy of public opinion in this era.

Everything seems to depend on nothing more than ......

It's just a rabble.

Fifteen thousand years ago it was a rabble.

Fifteen hundred years later, still.

……

Su Qi shook his head, and focused on the name of the difficult rice on the paper.

Related to Himiko, the Wei envoy Wei led the good Zhonglang general, who happened to be a figure at the beginning of the Kofun period, and all the contradictions point to this key name.

The only thing that doesn't match is time.

This is a man from 1,500 years ago.

Su Qi thought about it and sent a message to Director Alice.

"Director Alice, can the family of time live for fifteen hundred years?"

"No, time dependents also have a lifespan."

Su Qi received a reply almost instantly.

This made Su Qi slightly surprised, did the director hold his mobile phone every day?

However, Su Qi couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or relieved after reading this answer.

The disappointment may be that his consideration is in the wrong direction, and the peace of mind is probably because he is afraid of the mysterious and unpredictable family members of Director Alice who can live for a long time.

If it's really a time dependent, a person who has lived for 1,500 years, then it's scary enough.

However, just as Su Qi was thinking about overturning the previous inference and looking for clues again, Director Alice sent a new message.

"But the 'transcendent man' can, and the birth of a transcendent person needs the support of an era, and they have a lifespan and knowledge that can transcend the era."
