Once upon a time, there was an "evil" monk Onmyoji Michiman, Ashiya Michiman.

In the position of the nobility of the time, he failed in a fight, so he was "evil".

Of course, the winner is clear, and it is naturally just.

However, this opposition Onmyoji, who has more monks than onmyoji, still has a high reputation among the people.

The general public did not think that he was evil, but missed this venerable mage.

He and Qingming, one is in the people, and the other is in the court.

It is also standing at the peak of the Yin and Yang Dao in the world, and it also has a very high popularity, almost the two banners of the Yin and Yang Dao at that time.

Of course, when it comes to Onmyoji, we have to mention the origin of Onmyoji.

Japan's "Yin-Yang Dao" originated from the Yin-Yang Five Elements Doctrine during the period of the Hundred Schools of Thought in China.

In the era of ignorance and scientific famine, in order to avoid disasters, people always hoped to know in advance about the changes in heaven and earth, and the emergence of the "Yin and Yang Five Elements Theory" turned this wish into reality. Its representative classic is the "Book of Changes" that has been handed down since the Zhou Dynasty!

Therefore, it is not unreasonable to regard the Book of Changes as one of the originating texts of Yin-Yang Dao.

In the 6th century AD, China's Yin-Yang Five Elements Doctrine, which mixed Taoist mantras with Esoteric divination, was introduced to Japan.

After landing in Japan, some local culture was infiltrated, and a unique "Onmyodo" was formed.

However, when the term officially appeared in Japanese historical records, it was already in the 10th century.

At this time, the Yin-Yang Dao was different from the early Chinese Yin-Yang thought, and it had both divination, sacrifice, astronomy, calendar, and other applications, from the national fortune to the emperor's order, down to the affairs of the common people, which could be used to explain.

Prince Shotoku of the Suiko Dynasty was one of the best people in this discipline. A firm believer in Buddhism, he took into account the coordination of the five elements of yin and yang when formulating the "Twelve Orders of Crowns" and the colors of clothing, which had a great impact on Japanese society, and since then onmyoji has become a popular "profession" and has entered a period of full prosperity.

What kind of person is Onmyoji?

To put it simply, it can be said that it is a soothsayer, or an illusionist. They not only know how to look at the stars and face people, but also measure their directions, know the difference in calamity, draw talismans, chant spells, and perform illusions. They are also well aware of the unseen powers of people, such as fate, spirits, and ghosts, and have the ability to control these things.

The organization formed by the gathering of onmyoji is called "Onmyodo".

A profession similar to that of an onmyoji was once present in China.

That's Confucianism.

That's right, it's Confucianism.

At least in Confucianism during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, it was a similar profession to the Onmyoji.

The same knowledge of feng shui, learning the "Book of Changes" divination, the wise Confucianism are all proficient in both.

Not only that, but the great Confucians at that time also knew astronomy and disasters, and even once came up with the doctrine of "heaven and man induction", which fooled the world for an unknown number of years.

Therefore, in this regard, even if the onmyoji is substituted for the Confucian students of the Han Dynasty, it is not impossible.

Anyway, both have to learn the I Ching, and even the secret mantras.

Yes, unlike the Confucian scholars of later generations, the great Confucians of the Han Dynasty even knew magic

Many people don't know that Confucianism has changed many times in the course of history, but at least Confucianism in the Han Dynasty really shouldered similar responsibilities as the Onmyoji.

There is no shortage of great Confucians who are proficient in physiognomy and divination, and at the same time dabble in astronomy and geography, as well as various disasters, including but not limited to drawing talismans and chanting spells, and expelling ominous people

It sounds more and more similar.

From this, there is no doubt that the origin of Onmyoji is regarded as ancient China.

The Heian period, an era that was once across the sea from the Tang Empire.

It has given birth to a splendid culture that has been admired by future generations and is incomparably gorgeous, but it also hides a lot of darkness that is not known.

From 794 A.D., when Kyoto moved from Nagagang to Heian, the Heian era, which had been ruled for more than 400 years, slowly kicked off.

However, the peace of the capital is not a happy land, with demons and shadows and resentful spirits intertwined - demons and monsters do not stay in the forests or deep mountains far away from the water, but live with bated breath with human beings in the capital, even under the same roof.

Heiankyo is encroached upon by demons, and it has become a lair of ghosts and ghosts, and it has also become an active stage for onmyoji.

In order to eliminate the contradictions between heaven, earth, people, and ghosts, the "Onmyoji" showed their skills.

They use all-encompassing hexagrams and mysterious spells to exorcise evil spirits, kill demons and destroy monsters, and become powerful protectors from the royal family to the common people!

However, the job bowl of the onmyoji is not easy to hold, and to survive in the deceitful court, they must be familiar with all the elegant things, such as waka, Chinese poetry, pipa, flute, and incense or tea ceremony.

In addition, you must have the ability to see through people's hearts and have a professional ethic that does not leak secrets. Therefore, those who can become onmyoji are all first-class talents at that time.

Therefore, a qualified onmyoji has the following requirements:

Familiar with court etiquette, know how to appreciate aristocratic entertainment, proficient in psychology, diplomacy, professional ethics of secrecy, familiar with the classics of Yin and Yang Dao, and have enough adaptability!

Under such harsh conditions, even among thousands of apprentices, there may not be one who can become a talent.

Therefore, at that time, the power of a country was poured into the formation of the Onmyo-ryo and the cultivation of Onmyoji, and the income was only enough to take care of the situation in Kyoto and not deteriorate.

It is no exaggeration to say that becoming an onmyoji, in the Heian era, was equivalent to becoming a nobleman.

Even ordinary little nobles are not as noble as the onmyoji.

They, in the Heian period, were equivalent to the scholar class during the Warring States period in China.

The status is above the ordinary aristocracy, below the big aristocracy, is the absolute elite of this country!

Onmyoji is a synthesis of alchemists, astrologers, and feng shui masters, mainly engaged in yin-yang-dao, alman-dao (making calendars), astronomical dao (providing services in astrological aspects), and o-eng (timekeeping).

If it were an ordinary world, then this kind of profession could at best predict the climate, which is rare for ordinary people, but it is not very magical.

It's a pity that this is a real era of ghosts walking at night and people and ghosts living together, and the ghosts and ghosts are real, and all kinds of disasters even haunt people's roofs

So in such an era, the onmyoji who wanders between people, gods, and ghosts, and balances yin and yang is quite amazing!

In the body of a mortal, fighting against gods and monsters is not just something that can be done with spells.

"The Onmyoji acts, the strategy occupies forty percent, the spell occupies fifty percent, and the remaining one percent relies on deception."

This is understood by qualified onmyoji.

To deal with the mobile natural disasters that destroy cities at every turn, relying on spells that have been cultivated for decades at most are not enough to rely on.

More often than not, they fight by cunning, courage, and illusion, and rarely confront them head-on.

Among them, the best of them are undoubtedly not famous all over the world and become heroes in people's hearts.

Michiman Ashiya is such a hero.

Although he himself does not think that he has anything to do with the word "hero".

"Does the Yinyangliao of Huakaiyuan have this record of this surname?"

Leaning against the wall of the ruined temple, the lazy Daoman mage asked about the air in front of him.

Shikigami can be intangible, just like all kinds of heterogeneity in this era.

Ordinary people do not have the talent to see evil spirits and ghosts.

"No, I have checked all the literature on surnames in the whole country, and there is no record of Hua Kaiyuan."

A voice sounded in the air like a little boy.

"In addition, there is also a saying that this flower blossom is your descendant"

Daoman, who was drinking, threw the flask out violently.

"I don't remember that I had a wife and children?"

Master Daoman is a mage onmyoji, that is, a monk onmyoji.

He has had disciples, but he has never married, where is there an heir with the surname "Hua Kaiyuan"?

"Is this acting in the name of an old man?"

The half-gray hair was full of Daoman, and he sighed dissatisfiedly.

"The old man wants to see it, this flower blooming courtyard dares to call himself my descendant, at least he has to show decent skills."

"Zi Ji, you go and try it for me, this flower blossom courtyard Xiuyuan's ability."

With Daoman's call, a girl dressed in purple walked out of the ruined temple, without saying a word, and was about to leave with her luggage.

"Go ahead, just right, he's met you, so he won't be the wrong person."

"You want to learn Yin-Yang from me, isn't it just to find this guy?"

"Now, it's time"

This girl is the same Izumo Murasaki who lost a mess three months ago.

Three months can change many things, including a girl's life.

The guy named Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan slipped away after making a fuss, and the blow to this girl was fatal, especially when she recited the spiritual vision in public

As a result, she was ordered to come and hunt down Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan to wash away her dereliction of duty.

So, Izumo Murasaki, yes, is now Izumo Murasaki, remembering what he saw in the original spiritual vision, he made a special trip to Harima to investigate, and found the Ashiya Michiman who lived in the ruined temple here.

The time was three days ago.
