Naoto Akiyama's timely action allowed [Inugami] to escape the catastrophe.

Before the skeleton warrior swung his sword and slashed off the [Inugami] arm, Naoto Akiyama took the lead in using his playing cards to cut off the skeleton warrior's arm holding the sword.

The skeleton warrior who had lost his arm actually grew another arm in the blink of an eye, and everyone was stunned in surprise.

Not wanting to repeat the mistake of the past, Inugami immediately bowed down and picked up the sword dropped by the Skeleton Samurai from the ground, while the Skeleton Samurai pulled out another sword.

The two knives slammed into each other with a piercing metallic crash.

The skeleton warrior looked weak, and his weak limbs were in danger of falling apart at any time, but this sword was extremely powerful.

It only shook the [Dog God] to the point that his arm was numb, and a snow hatred cracked in the tiger's mouth.

Knowing that he was no match for the skeleton warrior in terms of strength, the [Inugami] immediately withdrew and did not dare to continue to fight hard.

The twelve gods of [Phantom God Province] are all special talents with superpowers, which are by no means comparable to ordinary people, and [Dog God] thinks that it is no exception, if she fights alone, her strength is only above Naoto Akiyama, not under Naoto Akiyama.

Now facing the skeleton warrior in front of him, the strength of the [Dog God] is obviously not enough, and it can compete with the skeleton warrior, so the skeleton warrior can be very powerful.

"What the hell is this?" Inugami muttered to himself as he stepped back.

"He looks like he has six swords?" Mr. Impermanence asked from afar.

"That's right, I snatched one, and he had one in his hand, and there were no four that had not yet been unsheathed." Inugami replied affirmatively, at this time he was closest to the skeleton samurai, and no one could see it better than him.

"What does he have six knives?" Naoto Akiyama asked curiously.

"Yes, I'm sure of that." Inugami confirmed again.

"Could it be that he is ......" Naoto Akiyama still didn't believe it.

"Who is it? Who do you think it is? [Inujin] asked, she also wanted to know who this guy was.

"No, maybe I'm thinking too much, there can't be such a thing." Naoto Akiyama shook his head and said.

"But it doesn't hurt to say that, maybe we'll want to go together." Mr. Impermanence looked at Naoto Akiyama with a smile.

"How is that possible! Could it really be that person? Naoto Akiyama looked at the skeleton samurai dumbfounded.

"Who is it? Who are you talking about? Can you not sell it! [Inujin] asked impatiently, while she asked for the answer, she also had to worry about the skeleton samurai, his Taoism was really not lazy.

"As far as I know, during the Warring States period in Japan, there seemed to be only one samurai in all of Japan who carried a six-handled sword." Mr. Impermanence said.

"That's right, in that era of backward technology, the Taidao was an expensive luxury, not to mention that carrying six Taidao at the same time had completely lost the value of fighting. So many knives will only become a burden to the battle, and it will inevitably do more harm than good to any user, such a costume obviously pays more attention to the decorative effect, and it does have a strong deterrent effect to keep so many knives on the body, which makes people daunting and rashly approaching. Naoto Akiyama said with a thoughtful analysis.

"You've been talking for a long time, but you still haven't told me who he is!" [Inujin] said angrily.

"Don't worry, haven't you thought of it yet? I thought you'd think of this person faster than we did, because you're a native of Japan. Naoto Akiyama said unhurriedly.

"Don't sell me guanzi, tell me who it is!" [Inujin] is already furious, and she will go crazy if she continues like this.

"Besides the Sixth Heaven Demon King, who else do you think it can be!" Naoto Akiyama said matter-of-factly.

"What! How can it be? Your dream is this skeleton, the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven! "[Inugami] couldn't believe what his ears were hearing.

"That's right, I also think it's the Sixth Heaven Demon King, only he can dress like this. At that time, he had a heavy army in his hands, and a total of six armies were driven by him, and he was the most powerful person in Japan at that time, and he had the momentum of unifying Japan and changing the dynasty. The six-handled sword he wore was the symbol of the six-way army, so he called himself the [Sixth Heavenly Demon King]. Mr. Impermanence agreed.

The so-called [Sixth Heavenly Demon King] is also known as Bo Xun, Moro, and the Six Brahma Lords.

The Sanskrit name is [Brahma-Bhavati], the head of the heavenly demons in Buddhism, and likes to obstruct the Buddhist cultivators.

In ancient Buddhist legends, the world is divided into three worlds: the world of desire, ****, and colorlessness.

And in the realm of desire, there are six desires.

The so-called desire refers to the five desires in the world, namely sound, color, taste, fragrance, and shape.

The Desire Realm is where the Six Realms live, and there are six layers in the Desire Realm, also known as the [Six Desires Heaven].

The [Six Desires Heaven] of the Desire Realm, from the bottom of the world, are respectively, the Four Heavenly King Heavens, the Celestial Heaven, the Night Heaven, the Tushi Heaven, the Lotte Heaven, and the Freedom Heaven of the Other.

The sixth heavenly demon king, that is, the highest in the realm of desire, is that he is free in the sky, this god does not need to be happy by himself, but loves to be in the sky, and plays freely with the pleasures of others, so it is called "he is free in the sky".

Moro always tried to hinder the practitioner's path by means of temptation, coercion, etc.

In the Buddhist scripture story, during the practice of Shakyamuni Buddha, he rejected the temptation of Moro many times.

During the Warring States period of Japan, the daimyo Oda Nobunaga once called himself the [Sixth Heavenly Demon King].

It is said that the origin of the title of "Sixth Heavenly Demon King" originated from Oda Nobunaga's burning of the [Ichijonomine] temple, and the monks who survived the catastrophe called him the "Sixth Heavenly Demon King" because they were afraid of him.

Oda Nobunaga believed in the Lotus sect of Buddhism, and Ben also knew the origin of the [Sixth Heavenly Demon King].

He had read in the Buddhist scriptures, about the Yoga Sutras, the records of the six desires.

[Four Heavenly Kings], is the four heavenly kings live in the hungry land, the four heavenly kings are the north of the multi-Wentian, the east of the country, the west of the wide-eyed sky, and the south of the growth of the sky.

At the top of Mount Meru, in the center is the residence of the Emperor Shakti, and there are eight days in each of the four directions, which are collectively called the thirty-three days.

[Night sky], this day lives in the sky, and the lotus blossom opens and closes and divides day and night.

[Tushitian] is said to be the residence of Maitreya.

[Lotte of Heaven], the people of this heaven can change the shape of the world at will.

[He is in the sky], this heaven is the lord of the realm of desire, and he takes pleasure in destroying the joy and happiness of others. The sixth day is also the fourth demon of the four demons, and it is also the foundation of all demons, hindering the enlightenment of gods and Buddhas, so it is called the sixth day demon king, referred to as the heavenly demon, also known as Bo Xun and Moro.

The Buddha said that in the past, the Heavenly Demon was afraid that Prince Siddhartha would realize himself and wanted to prevent him from becoming a Buddha, so he sent three witches to tempt the prince, namely Trisina, Rorti and Raja.

They were dressed up in strict costumes, and Ling Bo walked to Prince Siddhartha to flatter him. But the prince was deeply silent, turning a blind eye to the witch's **** teasing, and was unmoved, like a lotus flower out of the sludge without staining.

The witches tried their best to bewitch and bewitch in a bewitching manner, and the prince admonished them: "Although you are in good shape, but your heart is not upright, like a beautiful glass bottle full of dung, and you are not ashamed, do you dare to come to deceive people?" "So that the witch can see her own evil state, only to see skull joints, skin and tendons, pus sacs and spittle.

The Heavenly Demon was very angry when he saw that the witch's temptation was unsuccessful, and he led all the demons, poisonous insects and monsters, with poisonous thunder and poisonous arrows, to the throne of Prince Siddhartha.

The Heavenly Demon threatened: "If the prince does not return to the palace immediately to enjoy the life of glory and wealth, let the prince die under the tree." "Prince Siddhartha concentrated on his cultivation and thinking, as if he had not heard the threat of the heavenly demons.

The Heavenly Demon ordered all the demon swords and arrows to fire together, the prince's body was pure, and all the demons fell, and the swords and arrows could not get close to the prince's body.

At this time, there was a loud noise in the sky, and the Dharma Protector God came to help the prince and disperse all the demons.

And Prince Siddhartha is the future Shakyamuni Buddha.

Oda Nobunaga was very familiar with Buddhist scriptures, and used the [Myoho-renge-kyo] as a military flag, and also took refuge in the Rinzai sect of Zen.

During the Warring States period in Japan, Buddhism flourished, and many armed monks and soldiers appeared, becoming a powerful force to compete with the Gongjia He and the samurai. The leaders of some sects are actually big names themselves, and even more, they have ambitions to be kings and want to become the world's people.

Oda Nobunaga, who took refuge in Daitokuji Temple in his early years, began to lean towards Christianity one by one due to his constant conflict with various Buddhist sects.

At that time, Christianity, which came with the Southern Barbarian merchants, was widely concerned and accepted by the people because of its various novelties.

This also made Oda Nobunaga go to the opposite side of Buddhism, and after learning that he was called the [Sixth Heavenly Demon King], he not only did not become angry, but from then on he regarded himself as such.

Not only that, but it is said that the Azuchi Castle built by Oda Nobunaga was built according to the pattern of the Six Desires.

Azuchi Castle was founded in 1576 and is now in ruins.

It is said that the castle tower of Azuchi Castle in the past looked like a five-story castle tower from the outside, but the castle tower had six floors inside, and it was called the Azuchi Castle Shinjo Nobunaga Pavilion.

At Azuchi Castle, when Oda Nobunaga traveled back and forth between Kyoto and Gifu in the main castle, he had to stay at Anyoji Temple in the fishing village of Azuchi, so after Nobutada succeeded him as the governor, Nobunaga ordered his retainer Niwa Nagahide to build a new castle in Azuchi.

In the construction of Azuchi Castle, 10,000 migrant workers were employed, and excellent architects from Kyoto and other places were invited to contribute ideas. Located on the top of a hill more than 100 meters above sea level, Azuchi Castle was arguably the tallest building in Japan at the time, and there was an avenue running through the castle, along which houses, temples, and military commanders were built.

Azuchi means "peaceful and happy land", and the structure is extremely majestic. The castle is connected with the hills from east to west, and there is Mount Azuchi in the northwest; The castle was built on a small peninsula jutting out of Lake Biwa and surrounded on three sides by water, and was separated from Lake Biwa by Okushima Island and Izaki Island, becoming an inner lake with a radius of two miles. The castle is divided into two pills, both of which are built on the central hill, and behind it is a rectangular castle tower, which Nobunaga changed from its old name to "Lord's Tower".

This is not so much that he is close to Catholicism, but that he is the self-proclaimed "God" of Japan, and he will rule the world with this city.

The first floor of the Catholic Terrace is a stone wall, which serves as a storehouse for grain and straw.

The second layer is built on top of the stone wall, the wall is gilded, the number of pillars is two hundred and four, and the hundred birds and Confucians are painted.

On the third floor, there are 146 pillars, painted with flowers, birds and portraits of sages.

The fourth layer, the number of columns is ninety-three, painted pine, bamboo, etc.

The fifth layer, unpainted, is triangular.

The sixth layer, octagonal, was designed by Nobunaga himself, the outer pillars are painted red, and the inner pillars are covered with gold leaf, surrounded by carved railings, carved turtles and flying dragons; The outer wall is painted with evil ghosts, and the inside is painted with a picture of Shakyamuni and the ten disciples.

On the seventh floor, the interior and exterior are coated with gold leaf, and the four pillars are carved with dragons

After the completion of the castle tower, Nobunaga ordered the monk Nanhua to write "The Story of Azuchi Mountain in Jiangzhou" to praise the grandeur of Azuchi Castle, and the poem was attached to the text: The first mountain of sixty Fuso, the old pine is green and white clouds. The palace is as tall as the Afang Palace, and the city is trapped in Hangu Pass. If Tang Yu does not rule the world, he must be released from the world. Penglai 30,000 miles of fairyland, stay with Kuanren forever.

In 1576, Nobunaga moved the castle to Azuchi, including being bordered by Lake Biwa to the north and Kyoto to the west.

Azuchi Castle is close to Nagahama Castle of Hashiba Hideyoshi and Sakamoto Castle of Akechi Mitsuhide, so it is also more convenient to contact the two.

After the Honnoji Incident and the assassination of Oda Nobunaga, Azuchi Castle was burned down, and now only Ishigaki remains. The outer layers of the castle are painted vermilion, light blue or white, and the top layer is gold. Inside the castle, there are rooms with ink paintings by Eitoku Kano and rooms decorated in rich gold and blue colors, integrating some of Japan's most outstanding art at the time. Azuchi Castle is the oldest castle tower in Japan, and it is a famous castle in history.

If the skeleton warrior in front of him is really the [Sixth Heavenly Demon King], then it is not surprising that this castle tower is even [Azuchi Castle].

In the third year of the Motokame, in 1572 A.D., the daimyo [Kai no Lao] Takeda Shingen, when he was in Shangluo, wrote a letter to Nobunaga, signed [Shamon Shingen, the lord of the Tiantai Seat], claiming to be a Buddhist monk and protector.

Nobunaga smiled at this, and signed [Nobunaga, the Sixth Heavenly Demon King], to entertain Takeda Shingen, and to express his uninhibited devotion to tradition and faith.

As a result, Oda Nobunaga officially regarded himself as the [Sixth Heavenly Demon King], and in order to make himself look more like the [Sixth Heavenly Demon King], he not only made a fuss about the construction of Azuchi Castle, but also made a fuss about his own army.

Oda Nobunaga divided his army into six legions to conquer the four directions, sweep away the daimyos, and the remnants of the forces that rebelled against him.

The first army was the Higashiyama Road Army, with Takigawa Kazuyoshi as the general general. After defeating the Takeda clan, Ichiki entered Ueno Stable Bridge Castle and succeeded him as the governor of the Kanto region, and began to compete with the Hojo clan for the dominance of the Kanto region.

The second army was the Hokuriku Army, and the main general, Shibata Katsuie, led Maeda Toshiie, Sasa Narumasa, and Fupo Koji to enter Echichu and compete with the Uesugi clan. At this time, he was besieging Uozu Castle in Echichu, which was subordinate to the Uesugi clan.

The third corps was the Nankaido Legion, and the main commander was Nobunaga's third son, Kobe Nobutaka, with Niwa Nagahide as an auxiliary officer, and assumed overall responsibility. The goal of the Legion is rapidly rising, and it is about to unify the Chosamune Ibe clan in the Shikoku region.

The fourth army was the Sanyo Province Army, and the general general was Hashiba Hideyoshi, prepared for China, and surrounded Takamatsu Castle, which was garrisoned by the famous Maori general Shimizu Soji. Faced with the surging Maori reinforcements, Hideyoshi dug into the nearby Ashimori River to cut off Takamatsu from the outside world. In later generations, there was a folk song of "killing Miki by hunger, killing Totori by thirst, without using a knife, flooding Takamatsu".

The fifth army was the mountain **** army, and the general was Akechi Mitsuhide, who took over the military affairs of Tajima, Inaba, and Haki from Hashiba Hideyoshi after pacifying Tanba and Tango. In fact, he and Hideyoshi had the same enemy to face, both of them were the Maori family of the Nobunaga Gongji Temple of Aki Honnoji Temple, because the Maori army rescued Takamatsu, Hideyoshi wrote a letter to Nobunaga for help, so Nobunaga temporarily ended Mitsuhide's reception mission and ordered him to gather troops as soon as possible and send reinforcements to the west.

The Sixth Army was Tokugawa Ieyasu, although Tokugawa Ieyasu was not a subordinate of Oda Nobunaga, but Tokugawa Ieyasu and Oda Nobunaga were strong allies, and he assisted the Oda family in defending against the enemy in the east, and at this time Ieyasu already had the three kingdoms of Mikawa, Enoe, and Suruga, and his power was even greater than that of Imagawa Yoshimoto, and he would fight against the Hojo clan who had seized the Kanto region.
