Chapter 67: Getting Started

Brother Long's voice was no longer obscene and arrogant, but with a sense of historical heaviness, an indescribable vicissitudes of life, and began to tell me about the Goguryeo Barbarian City and the origin of the Japanese Onmyoji......

There is no doubt that Japan is another inheritance of Chinese culture. Even if this inheritance has become a bit hateful in thousands of years, it has forgotten its ancestors and has been a little ungrateful. But I have to say that Japanese civilization is indeed a kind of inheritance of Chinese civilization......

In metaphysics, it is extremely obvious.

In the Japanese metaphysical world, the two most powerful forces occupy the Japanese Shinto and the Onmyodo.

Shinto was originally a traditional national religion in Japan, originally based on nature worship, derived from shamanism, and belongs to a kind of animistic polytheistic belief that regards various animals and plants in nature as gods.

In the earliest days, Shinto in Japan did not have an official name at first, and it was a simple religion with no name and substance. It was not until the 5th to 8th centuries that Buddhism in the Central Plains was introduced to Japan through Korea, and gradually accepted by the Japanese and began to have followers. In order to compete with the term "Buddhism," Shinto believers coined the term "Shinto" to distinguish Shinto, which is inherent in Japan, from Buddhism imported from abroad.

However, what Shinto believers did not expect was that they paid attention to the Buddhists, but they did not notice that as early as the Three Kingdoms period, the follow-up school of the Yin-Yang family, which was introduced from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period from the Eastern Wu Period, was slowly growing...... Eventually, it replaced Buddhism and became one of the two major religions in Japan, along with Shinto.

In fact, to be precise, Yin-Yang Dao is not a purely religious belief. Because of the Yin and Yang Dao, there is no god of their own beliefs. It believes that everything in the world is divided into the five elements of yin and yang, which operate according to the laws of nature. There are no supreme gods, only powerful gods, and the onmyoji can achieve some kind of master-servant relationship with these powerful gods through contracts.

Therefore, Japan's onmyoji is actually regarded as the intergenerational inheritance of the onmyoji family during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Of course, this is not worthy of descendants.

The situation of Yin-Yang Dao is relatively complicated. During the Three Kingdoms period, smoke and wars raged on the land of China. Powerful princes from all walks of life competed for dominance in the Central Plains, and countless Taoist monks also joined the princes they were optimistic about to serve them.

Among them, the two inheritors of the Yin and Yang Dao are two brothers, and they have thrown themselves into the camp of Eastern Wu. It is unknown what complicated things happened in the follow-up, but in the end, these two brothers turned against Dongwu and had a fierce fight with other Fangshi who returned to Dongwu!

In the end, the two brothers separated, and the younger brother fled to Japan at that time with half of the "Yin and Yang Chronicles" on his body and settled down. The elder brother took the other half of the "Yin and Yang Chronicles" and fled to seek refuge in a powerful regime established by an ethnic minority in northeastern China at that time, which was Goguryeo.

Time flies, thousands of years have passed, and Yin-Yang Dao, which was not a powerful sect of Chinese Taoist metaphysics, has actually developed greatly in Japan, and even became one of the two major metaphysical forces in Japan, competing with Japan's state religion Shinto. There are even three powerful onmyoji families, and there are many wizards in the clan, infiltrating all walks of life in Japan's politics, military and business, calling for wind and rain.

The three major Onmyoji families all inherited the "Yin and Yang Divination" from the younger brother who fled to Japan from Soochow. The high-level leaders of the three major families also know that the source of the Japanese Onmyoji is in China, and this source is incomplete from the beginning!

Therefore, in order to complete the inheritance of the Japanese onmyoji, it also happened to take the opportunity of the Second World War and the rise of Japanese militarism at that time. After discussion, the three major Onmyoji families in Japan took the lead of the Kamo family and brought the other two Onmyoji families into China with the invading Japanese army to find the other half of the "Yin and Yang Divination". The core ruling area of Goguryeo is the area of the three northeastern provinces of China......

Therefore, under the strong influence and control of the three Onmyoji families on Japan, the invading Japanese army first occupied the three northeastern provinces of China. In fact, the most direct and main purpose is for the He Mao family to lead the other two onmyoji to dig three feet into the ground and find the other half of the "Yin and Yang Divination"!

You must know that the Three Kingdoms period is not far from the Qin and Han dynasties, and it can be said that it is a defect after the transition between the "mythical era" and the "historical era" in the historical sense. At that time, the Taoist monks were said to have abilities that were far more powerful than they are now. For example, Zhuge Liang's borrowing of the east wind, is it really luck? In fact, many people know that it is because Zhuge Liang himself is an extremely powerful Taoist monk! It was he who cast his own spell and summoned the east wind.

It is conceivable how powerful the spell books left over from that era will be. Half of the "Yin and Yang Divination Record" established an extremely powerful metaphysical force outside of China, splitting the three major onmyoji families in Japan. If you can find the remaining half...... It is estimated that those little Japan are so excited that they can't sleep when they think about it.

After a search by the powerful invading Japanese forces in the three northeastern provinces, they finally found some clues. It turned out that after the elder brother of the ancestor of the Japanese onmyoji fled from Soochow to Goguryeo, he obtained the title of national teacher and held power in Goguryeo for a while, and the scenery was infinite.

Later, as if he had discovered something, he recruited a large number of soldiers, mobilized Goguryeo's military forces, and built a large number of buildings in the area of the current Khinganling. With a large amount of manpower, he built a magnificent city in the wild primeval forest.

This city, in the history of Goguryeo and later in some national history classics on the Korean Peninsula, is called the Goguryeo Barbarian City!

On the day of the successful construction of the city, the elder brother of the two brothers of the inheritor of the Yinyangdo disappeared into the primeval forest of the northeast, and together with the Goguryeo barbarian city, it seemed that he had disappeared into this world, and since then there have been no clues handed down......

But there is reason to believe that the remaining half of the "Yin and Yang Divination" must have been buried with him in the Goguryeo Barbarian City in the northeast......

Although they knew such news, the He Mao family and the other two Onmyoji families searched in the northeast for many years, but they did not really find the location of the Goguryeo Barbarian City. It wasn't until the end of World War II that I finally discovered that in the primeval forest of the Xiaoxinganling near today's Yichun City, there was actually a clue to the Goguryeo Barbarian City!

The Japanese Onmyoji was so excited that he hurried in. went to countless Onmyoji elites, and there were powerful Onmyoji leaders, but the Japanese Onmyoji army that went to Xiaoxinganling was completely wiped out and never appeared again, as if it had completely disappeared from this world.

Only one person escaped, that is, the so-called most genius onmyoji of the He Mao family in the past thousand years, and now the head of the He Mao family, He Mao Yuanyi!!

He seems to have obtained some secrets from the Goguryeo barbarian city, so before the invading Japanese army withdrew from China, he carried out a horrific massacre in the 731 bacteriological troops, killing all the prisoners of war and making the Nether Demon Flower. Because, the flower core of the Netherworld Demon Flower can open the area on the periphery of the Northeast Barbarian City!

These information are also some clues that those people in the religious office finally got through countless information collection after the founding of New China. It's just that what they don't know is that such an extremely rare thing as the Nether Demon Flower is actually under their noses......

The Northeast Bureau of the Religious Office has actually been looking for the location of the Nether Demon Flower, firstly, this thing is extremely evil and will cause serious harm; Second, it is also known through various information that the flower core of the Netherworld Demon Flower is related to the opening of the Goguryeo Barbarian City. But I never found it, but I didn't expect to be found by mistake this time......

After listening to Brother Long's story, I somewhat understood. It turns out that this Japanese onmyoji still has such a relationship with the Chinese Taoist metaphysical inheritance! During the Three Kingdoms period, half of the "Yin and Yang Divination Records" was transmitted to Japan, and it was able to create a powerful inheritance that lasted for thousands of years. Of course, perhaps the Taoist priest at the beginning did not expect that the spell he had passed on to the small island outside the wilderness would actually bring great disasters to Huaxia thousands of years later......

"Is "Yin and Yang Divination" really so powerful? The Japanese Onmyoji poured the power of the country into the war to find it? I asked, confused, holding a piece of blanched beef.

Brother Long took advantage of my daze and snatched my beef from my chopsticks. Stuffed into his mouth and chewed contentedly: "Hmm, this...... The same cannot be said either. Little Japan is a dilapidated place, poor in resources, pitiful in small area, and so big in natural disasters, it is impossible to survive, and it is inevitable to start a war. It's just that the Hemao family and other Onmyoji families chose the Northeast as the vanguard to capture the position, probably for the sake of half of the "Yin and Yang Divination Records" in the Goguryeo Barbarian City. Hmm...... Yes, you little cub has a good grasp of the timing of the hot beef, the meat is juicy and plump. ”

My day! Brother Long, can you still be a little less particular?

Only then did I realize that the piece of beef I was holding on top of the chopsticks was snatched by this guy and thrown into his mouth to eat, which was really speechless. However, at this time, my mind was not mainly on eating, so I didn't bother to bother with him, so I took a sip of wine from the big bowl on the table and asked him: "Then we got the flower core of the Netherworld Demon Flower this time, are we going to Goguryeo Barbarian City?" Also, in the five veins of Taoist metaphysics now, there are no metaphysical classics such as "Yin and Yang Divination Records" that have been handed down? ”

Brother Long took a big bite of meat in his mouth, and replied to me a little vaguely: "Go in?" He Mao Yuanyi's old thing didn't dare to go in, aren't we looking for death when we go in? The leaders of the various Taoist sects can't do that old thing if they talk one-on-one. Let's just take a look around the periphery to find out the situation, and then solve a supernatural case from the police station over there in Yichun. ”

"He Mao Yuanyi is so powerful?!"

My mouth was wide open, a little incredulous. I have always thought that the Japanese Onmyoji is a heritage of Chinese Taoism, and the Taoism is not as powerful as the Chinese, but I didn't expect that just the patriarch of the Kamo family, one of the three major Onmyoji families in Japan, could completely abuse the sects of the various Taoist sects in our great country? This...... I can't accept it anymore.

Seeing my appearance, Brother Long snorted: "Don't look down on the spells of other countries just because China's metaphysics has a long history, you must know that the road is simple, and the different paths are the same." What's more, Little Japan still retains half of the original "Yin and Yang Divination". Although it is only a fragment, it is an antiquity after all. At present, in our country, I am afraid that there are no authentic works that are so old. China has a long history, which shows that there are many lost and incomplete antiquities, so now the people in the Taoist sect in China are also eyeing the remaining half of the "Yin and Yang Divination Record" in the Goguryeo barbarian city, this time, we may go to explore the way first. It's more dangerous, and those in high positions don't dare to make a move easily......" He poured himself another bowl of wine and drank it all.

I didn't ask Brother Long why we were going. He accepted the nascent demonic energy of the Netherworld Demon Flower given by the old man Dong, so he naturally wanted to repay the favor. It's just that I don't understand why he, a soldier monk who cultivates masculine qi and blood, wants this demonic energy of yin and evil attributes.

"So, what the hell is that Panochasis?" I'm pretty much done with this onmyoji, and I'm curious about this again. After all, this thing sounds like a cult.

Brother Long slapped his thigh: "Good question!" This Ten Thousand Souls Sect is a fucking cult organization, but I didn't expect it to become a climate. Its origin is not yet clear, but it first appeared in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. It was born by some people who have returned from studying abroad and have a high-quality Western scientific background and a Chinese Taoist background. It stands to reason that such people should benefit the people, but they are partial, engaged in all kinds of dirty things, and engaged in political and economic infiltration, and want to control China from all sides. Fortunately, it didn't work out, otherwise it would have been miserable......"

He seemed to be a little drunk, and his face was red. However, it can be seen that Brother Long seems to have a special dislike for this Ten Thousand Souls Sect, and it seems that he has a holiday.

"In the Ten Thousand Souls Sect, there are leaders from all walks of life, Taoist priests from various schools and branches, all of them, and they are extremely powerful! For example, the reason why the Nether Demon Flower grew at the site of the 731 Bacteriological Unit this time was because people from the Ten Thousand Souls Sect infiltrated the officialdom of Heilongjiang and intervened from within to abolish the decision to build a museum and use popularity to cooperate with the suppression seal, otherwise these things would not have happened. The demon you met in Lianghe Town seems to be your uncle or something, and he should have joined the Ten Thousand Souls Sect. Speaking of which, I also have a grudge against you......"

Jiang Xuan! What kind of pan-souls are taught by this?

My heart was shocked, and I felt that what Brother Long said was really possible. Otherwise, where did he learn so many Dao techniques from the other branches of the mountain character vein? And with so many men, it looks like they probably joined an organization.

"Then what is the purpose of this cult? If it is so big, do you really want to seize power? "I'm a little confused.

Brother Long waved his hand: "Whatever, anyway, as long as you don't mess with Lao Tzu." "He was now flushed, his beard was all open, he looked like a fighting, and he looked really drunk. Because not only did he drink a lot of himself, but he also drank most of my bottle.

This guy is so big and three coarse, and he has a strong Taoism, but the amount of alcohol is very poor. Basically, after I practiced the amount of alcohol, it was a rhythm of getting drunk every time I drank, but I still like to drink, so every time I get anxious.

So, I hurriedly asked about the religious office while he was still a little clear. After all, the cold-blooded guy who suddenly turned his face in the Qin people was the leader of the southwest region of the religious office, and I had to understand some of the situation first.

In Brother Long's drunken and staccato narration, I finally managed to figure out the general situation of the religious office. The full name of the religious office is the Religious Security and Defense Office of the People's Republic of China, which is nominally subordinate to the Ministry of State Security, but it is basically independent and unchecked. The director of the religious office and the minister of national security have the same political power, and at the same time, he has the cultivation of Taoism above the earth immortal, which can be described as an extremely human minister.

In fact, in all dynasties, similar institutions have been set up, such as the Manchu Qing Dynasty called the Thirteen Halls, the Republic of China called the Special Service Ten Departments, and after the arrival of New China, it was renamed the Religious Office. It is divided into five sub-bureaus: Southwest, Northwest, Northeast, Southeast, and Central Plains, each responsible for religious-related affairs in a region. On top of the five sub-bureaus, there is also the Central Intelligence Office and the Deacon's Office, which sit in Beijing and control everything.

Basically, the religious office includes more than 60 percent of the Taoist metaphysical sects in China, and it cooperates with various large Taoist sects, and at the same time, it will also give the sect some false positions. For example, the real person in charge of Longhu Mountain was named the deputy deacon chief of the deacon office of the religious affairs office, received a special allowance every month, and went to Beijing once a year to report on his work.

It wasn't until I learned about this that I realized what a behemoth this impermeable-sounding religious office was. Now, it seems that the Southwest Bureau has strong hostility towards me or some other secret plan, but this plan must be unsightly! Because according to the performance of the old man Dong and Brother Long's series of words, it seems that the other four major branches of the religious office do not know about my situation. It can also be seen from here that the interior of the five major sub-bureaus does not seem to be so harmonious......

In other words, in fact, the only people I need to guard against at the moment are the people from the Southwest Branch of the Religious Office. At the beginning, Brother Long had been hiding in Lianghe Town for many years, and even if Jiang Xuan appeared to slaughter the town, he didn't show up, just to take me away so that the Qin people would have no way to verify it, and they could live and practice freely in the far northeast.

Thinking about this, I feel a lot more stable in my heart, at least I still have a lot of time to slowly get stronger. Qin people, Southwest Branch, one day, I will come to the door to ask you for an explanation!

Look at Brother Long again, he was completely drunk at this time, and he fell on the table with a red face, his face had already smashed directly into the sauce bowl of the hot pot, and the sauce he brought with him when he breathed was gurgling.

Oh my god! This guy is really ......

I was speechless, endured my nausea, and struggled to carry the hundreds of dozens of pounds of meat to the bed, and wiped his face clean. Exhausted, he walked to another bed and closed his eyes.

Tomorrow, we will set off for the legendary city deep in the mountains of the Northeast, what will happen, and what will the road look like in the future? I do not know.
