Chapter 2 About the Book

PrefaceAbout this book, the onmyoji, which can also be said to be a soothsayer, or an illusionist, originated in China. 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 above is seen in Baidu Encyclopedia)

My novels are about Onmyoji. And as an onmyoji, you must first have "yin and yang eyes". "Yin and Yang Eyes" is a psychic special function in folk beliefs, which represents the existence of supernatural phenomena that can see ghosts and other things that others can't see, also known as the ability to "see ghosts".

In folk beliefs, the yin and yang eyes can be brought by innateness, or they can be "opened" by a variety of methods because of the acquired nature. This is what people call the opening of the eyes of heaven. The third eye of Erlang God Yang Jian can shine on the heavens and the earth and shoot demons. In the novel, Naruto's "Yin and Yang Eyes" I set up were possessed during the journey to the Hokage Continent. The effects of yin and yang eyes are also divided into several types. For example:1. Psychic, 2. Catch ghosts, 3. Immortality and so on. Let's dig out the specific functions of Naruto's "Yin and Yang Eyes" in my novel, hehe......

"Onmyoji"*Control "Shikigami" is the main mana skill of the Onmyoji. There are those who make a contract through a sealing letter, some who submit it through the sealing array, and some who voluntarily submit it as a friend, and the general onmyoji wears a flowing hair to cooperate with the three knots of "dyeing and paying the Spring and Autumn Period, and Han Sancai, and Shura" to produce a contract technique, guiding the gods to become their own gods, and detaching themselves from desires. When you need help in ordinary times, you can use the "Wood Spirit Imperial Coins, Ancient Soldiers, Five-Tone Gold" contract and Shikigami agreement summon spells, as long as you read the agreed spell at any time to control and summon it, even the soul of a person can be used, and there are also living creatures as a basis for Shikkai. Shikigami summons creatures from other dimensions with its own spiritual power. Unlike puppetry, it is a living creature. Moreover, the existence of Shikigami is one with the caster. The stronger the caster's mental power, the more powerful Shikigami can wield. I think that's understandable.

Most of the objects that the "Onmyoji" cleaned up were "ghosts". As for "ghosts", in general, they can be roughly divided into water, fire, wind, darkness, and fierceness.

Water, of course, refers to a youkai that can control water freely.

There are very few fire-based monsters, but they are generally very powerful, and the fire is ......

Wind, the so-called "wind master" and the foggy tengu are representatives.

Dark, most youkai belong to this type, like darkness, and have an evil nature. There are too many representatives of this kind of youkai, and I don't say you know it. Fierce, this kind of monster doesn't have any abilities, it's just a simple strong body, and the attack power is huge, and it's hard to damage. The appearance is mostly burly as a mountain, with a hideous face and fangs, and a face that is iron blue or red. This kind of youkai is basically very low-level, and other high-level youkai of any series can easily kill them.

Many of these "ghosts" can increase their strength by devouring other ghosts. There are all kinds of ways to eat, some just devour each other's souls, some eat them together, and some also devour each other's demonic power. Oni with this ability will sometimes seek out psionics to devour, because eating psionics will give you more energy than devouring youkai - especially if the psionic energy is not awakened and has no attack ability at all.

Related to the Hokage: "Tanuki": Japanese legends all over the world believe that tanuki have incredible powers, and the "Sand Morizuru" in the Hokage is a tanuki monster that grows in the Nara Desert and is affected by the magic of the other world, and is buried and accumulated by the wind and sand. The tattoo on the body is violet, and the tattoo means to represent the pattern of the god of wind, symbolizing that the code name is wind. Therefore, "One Tail" is a "ghost" of the wind system, and it is called a tailed beast in the comics.

"Scythe": A weasel-like wind demon armed with a scythe, which uses a scythe to cut wounds on people's bodies, but it does not hurt or bleed. They are always associated with cyclones and seem to only appear in certain weather. In the Hokage, "Kamato" seems to be a summoned beast of Temari.
