Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Feathered Fox
Qianye was welcomed into the mansion by the Tsuchigomon Haramoru and a group of people from the Tsuchigomon family, and after taking a seat, a servant immediately came over to serve tea, but was taken by the honeyworm who followed Chiya. This style can't help but make the Tuyumen family look at each other, and I don't know if Qianye is dissatisfied with the Tuyumen family.
"I'm here today to check the seal of the feathered fox." Qianye didn't care about the feelings of the Tuyumen family, so he asked directly: "I asked Qingxin to spread the word yesterday, is the Tuyumen family ready?" After speaking, he turned his gaze to Harumi Tsuchimon, who was kneeling on his right hand.
Although Qianye's gaze did not have any sense of oppression, Haramoru Tsuchigomon was swept by his gaze, and he still had a feeling like a thorn in his back. So he hurriedly bowed down and replied, "Yesterday I received a message from Harunoshi, and the Tuyumen family has already checked the seal overnight and is ready to wait for the arrival of Lord Chiba. A simple question and answer, but it made Tsuchimon Harumo feel under great pressure. When he was a child, he saw how Thousand Nights destroyed the Earth Imperial Gate Clan, which made him always a little cringe when facing Thousand Nights.
The cowering appearance of Tuyumen Harumi was seen by the honeyworm, and he immediately frowned, and at the same time he was dissatisfied in his heart and sighed, the descendants of Abe Harumi are really not as good as the generation, and there were still people who dared to face Qianye head-on, but now they can't even straighten their waists in front of Qianye and deal with it calmly. But after all, he is a descendant of Abe Harumi, and the honey worm didn't make a sound, just put a bowl of prepared matcha in front of Qianye.
Chiya saw the movement of the honey worm, so he picked up the tea bowl and drank the tea, and at the same time, he also withdrew his gaze to look at the Tsuchiomon Harumo.
Qianye retracted his gaze, and Tsuchimon Harumo suddenly felt relieved, and looked at the honey worm with gratitude. But the honeyworm didn't pay attention to him, just knelt beside Qianye with his head down, serving the tea set.
"Who is the inheritor of the Yin and Yang Technique of this generation of the Tuyumen family? Is there a suitable candidate? Qianye put down the tea bowl in his hand and asked in a flat tone.
Tsuchigomon Haruka, who was sitting under the head of Dogomon, looked behind him, gestured slightly, and a girl stood up from her seat, walked to the middle of the room, bowed down in front of Chiya, and said respectfully: "Dogomon Haruka, meet Chiba-sama." ”
"If you can use the word 'Qing' as the Miao character, it seems that you are the inheritor of the Yin and Yang of the Tuyumen family." Qianye looked at the girl in front of her with interest: "But being able to obtain the inheritance of Yin-Yang Art is enough to prove that your talent is extraordinary, whose daughter are you?" And keep your head up. ”
Haruka Tu Yumen, who was lying on the ground, raised her head, facing the eyes of Qianye's scrutiny, but she was able to look directly at him with a generous face and said, "My father, Tu Yumen Haruliang." ”
Such a performance that is neither humble nor arrogant makes the honey worm beside Qianye look high, but it doesn't mean anything. Qianye listened to the answer of the earth royal gate Haruka, glanced at the earth royal gate haruko beside him, and he immediately replied with interest: "This is the only daughter of my second son Haruka, who has shown a talent for yin and yang since she was a child, so she was spoiled by the family, and I ask Lord Chiba to forgive me." ”
"It's okay, it's good for a little girl to be vibrant, if she's as dull as an old man at this age, then what's the point?" Chiya seemed to have become interested in Haruka Dogomon, and asked Haruka Dogomon on the side, "I remember your name is Haruka?" You're the only one left in the Onmyoji of the Tuyumen family, right? Tell me, how is this little girl's yin and yang arts? ”
The clear sky of the earth royal gate did not dare to slack off, but there was still some bearing on the body when the earth royal gate family was prosperous, although he was still a little afraid of the thousand nights, but he did not show it. After thinking for a while, Tsuchigomon Qingkong replied to Qianye: "Haruka's talent is good, and she is quite diligent, so the foundation of Yin-Yang is still solid. It's just that I haven't learned the Yin and Yang inheritance of the whole earth imperial family, and the things I can teach this girl are limited, so the level of this girl is also the level of Yin and Yang in the past, if it is the guidance of an unknown teacher, the future achievements will only be like this. ”
Qianye nodded and didn't speak again, and the honey worm on the side just put a bowl of freshly mixed matcha in front of Qianye.
——————————————————
Kyoto Daigo Temple, located in Fushimi District, Kyoto City, Japan, is the head temple of the Daigo sect of Japanese Buddhism Shingon sect, and is said to be the disciple of Kukai, the founder of the Shingon sect in Japan, which was founded in 874 A.D. and has a history of more than 1,100 years. There is a statue of the deity of Goddess of Mercy in the Zhun Xuan Guanyin Hall, and the ceremony is held on May 18 every year, and the shrine is only open for 3 days before and after. In 1939, the temple was burned down and rebuilt in 1968. The temple was designated as a World Heritage Site in 1994 as a "Cultural Property of the Ancient Capital of Kyoto", and many of its buildings, such as the Golden Hall and the five-storied pagoda, have been designated as "National Treasures" of Japan.
In 874 A.D., the grandson of Kukai's disciples, he established a shrine on the top of Mount Katori in the southeastern suburbs of Kyoto in 874 A.D. to enshrine two statues of Kannon, the Shogi and the Wishful Wheel. The temple was named Daigo, and Mt. Kasatori was renamed Mt. Daigo.
Among the five flavors of Buddhism, Daigo is known as the "best of the five flavors", symbolizing the highest delicacy in the world, and Daigoji Temple has also become the headquarters of the Daigo sect of Shingon Buddhism in Japan.
Daigo Temple was revered by many emperors of Suzaku and Murakami, and it has been continuously expanded to form a scale relative to today.
Walking in Daigo-ji Temple, the architectural style in front of you is derived from the Tang Dynasty, and Senya can't help but recall the scene when Emperor Murakami built the five-storied pagoda more than 1,000 years ago.
"Qingming, the Buddhist scriptures say that saving a life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, why is the tower here only five floors?" Minamoto Hiroya, who was serving as Daisuke Chubu at the time, was appointed by the emperor to oversee the construction of the five-storied pagoda, but he did not understand why the pagoda had only five floors.
"This is an imitation of the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty, why is it a five-storied pagoda, you might as well ask Xuan Yi, he should know." Abe Harumi, who was pulled by Yuan Boya to accompany him, shook the bat fan in his hand, glanced at Qianye standing beside him with a smile, and said to Yuan Boya.
Qianye glanced at Qingming helplessly, shook his head and explained to Yuan Boya: "The pagoda originated from Tianzhu, and according to legend, when Shakyamuni lived in the world, he praised the eight spiritual pagodas to his disciples, indicating that if someone has great confidence, builds the eight spiritual pagodas, and undertakes things to support, it is a person who can obtain great benefits, get great results, and leave a good reputation for future generations." Among them, the Great Awakening Pagoda of the Buddha Gaya Dabodhi Temple is the place where Sakyamuni became a Buddha, and it is also the only pagoda of the Buddha, and many pagodas in the Tang Dynasty are built in imitation of the specifications of the five-storied pagoda body of the Great Awakening Pagoda. In the third year of Gaozong Yonghui, in order to preserve the Buddhist scriptures, relics and other things brought back from Tianzhu by Master Xuanzhu, Gaozong ordered the construction of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and its regulation was to imitate the five-storied pagoda built by the Great Jue Pagoda. So it's no surprise that this pagoda in Daigoji is a five-storied pagoda. ”
Yuan Boya listened to Qianye's explanation, and said with a bright smile: "You still know more about Xuanyi!" ”
The past seems to be still vivid, but Abe Harumi and Gen Boya have been ancient for thousands of years, so that Qianye can't help but feel nostalgic.
Seeing that Qianye was sad looking at the five-storied pagoda, the honeyworm walked up to Qianye's side and said to him, "Does Mr. Xuanyi remember the past again?" ”
"When the five-storied pagoda was built, Boya invited Qingming and me to come here to watch the construction of the pagoda. Unexpectedly, thousands of years later, the five-storied pagoda is still there, but Qingming and Boya are long gone. Qianye's tone was a little nostalgic, but it wasn't too sad.
The rest of the Tsuchigomon family did not follow them, only the Onmyoji and the seal keeper of the Tsuchigomon Haruka followed behind Chiya.
A monk from Daigo Temple was accompanying him, carefully greeting Chiya and his party.
Four hundred years ago, Thousand Nights sealed the feathered fox in Daigo Temple.
"There is indeed no problem with the seal, but unfortunately, the soul of the feathered fox has long been reincarnated from the seal." Standing in front of the five-storied pagoda, Chiya looked up and shook his head and came to a conclusion.
Qianye's words made the faces of the Tuyumen Qingtian and the accompanying monks change greatly, and the Tuyumen Qingtian couldn't help asking, "Chiba-sama, how is this possible?" The seal is intact, and my Tuyumen family has not slackened for four hundred years, how could the soul of this feather-clothed fox break away from the seal? ”
"When was the Hall destroyed?" Chiya ignored the question of the clear sky of the Tsuchigomon, but asked the monks standing on the side about the situation of Daigoji Temple.
The monk thought for a moment and replied, "In 1939, the temple was destroyed by fire, and it was not rebuilt until 1968. However, four years ago, the temple was struck by lightning and caught fire, and when the firefighters arrived, the entire temple had been scorched, and even the statue of the national treasure, the statue of the national treasure enshrined in the temple, was not spared, which is the biggest regret of our temple in recent years, Amitabha. ”
Qianye shook his head: "Four hundred years ago, I sealed the feathered fox in the five-storied pagoda, in order to prevent her from getting out of the seal, I even separated her soul from her body and sealed it in the statue of Quasi-Guanyin in the Zhun Xuan Guanyin Hall, and used this Buddha statue to suppress the resentment in her soul. Unexpectedly, four hundred years later, even the Buddha statue that was once enshrined by the Holy Treasure Liyuan could not suppress her. Are you right, Aunt Ge Ye? With that, Qianye set her eyes on a female high school student not far away.
"Xiao Xuanyi, a thousand years have passed, and you still can't remember, you want to call me Sister Ge Ye. Besides, I told you 400 years ago, and now I am a feathered fox. This high school girl didn't look special, but what she said made the faces of the three people of the Honey Worm and the Tsuchigomon family suddenly change. Tuyumen Qingkong protected his female disciple behind him, took out a talisman in his hand, and looked at the female high school student in front of him who was called Ge Ye by Qianye with a wary face. On the other hand, Harunobu Tsuchigomon untied the sword pouch in his hand and held the hilt of the demon exorcism knife contained in the sword bag.
Qianye looked at the female high school student for a long time, as if she had expected her appearance. Qianye said to the monks who were a little confused about the situation: "Go and evacuate the tourists, there are some things that they can't see." ”
Although the monk didn't know what was happening, he quickly turned away and began to evacuate the visitors near the five-storied pagoda.
