Chapter 46: Odawara Castle

"Your Highness?" "Your Highness?" The Imperial Venerable of the Heavenly Days, who was surrounded by golden flames, looked at the Amaterasu Grand Mijin in the center of the Divine Palace, and asked, "Is it too much to see the Venerable Hall like this on a moonlit night?"

"No, you don't understand......" Amaterasu looked at the void and explained, "Although my two younger brothers and I have been canonized by Izanagi, you must know that there is still a supreme emperor in this world, and he still favors the ancient gods of the sun and the sun, and my brother and I can only serve as regional sun gods and moon gods. ”

Speaking of this, Amaterasu sighed: "Because of the existence of Takamagahara, and Kamino Tsuki, I have won the favor of Izana, and with the blessings of these two, I have isolated the condemnation of the Emperor of Heaven from all aspects, but my brother is different, if he does not kill all the gods who violate his realm, no one knows if that god will become the favor of the Emperor of Heaven and use it to tear apart my brother's authority." ”

"Then do we need help to see the Venerable Hall on a moonlit night?" The Imperial Venerable was a little worried before the Heavenly Day, and all the Heavenly Emperors involved in Middle-earth could not help but be worried, he could clearly remember that the rise of the Guojin God and the Buddhist breakthrough of the gods and the blockade of the gods took root in Fusang, and there was the shadow of the Heavenly Emperor behind it.

"There is no need to do this, this is Fuso after all, and Izanagi will bless my brother and let him reassert his authority, so we don't need to interfere!" Amaterasu said, just retracting the sun mirror in his hand, not observing the changes in the netherworld.

"Hey!"

..................

On the other hand, after Li Haocheng found a new incarnation of the Seven Elephant Obscure Zun, he immediately manipulated him to escape into the underworld, and then with the help of the connection between the second element god and the Seven Elephant Obscure Zun, he collected the authority belonging to Fusang and part of the core divine power, dispersed the newly formed divine body, and successfully avoided the tracking of the great power lord.

After leaving Mt. Ibuki, Li Hao set up a horse and ran in the direction of Mt. Ono, and tonight's harvest was beyond his imagination.

It can be said that his plan to come to Fuso has already been completed, and the most important thing now is to rush to Onoyama as soon as possible, and not to give anyone the slightest chance to doubt his relationship with the Seven Elephants.

The existence of the Seven Elephants has improved Li Haocheng's control over Fusang's vitality, and the operation of some Taoist techniques does not need to be specially modified, making it more in line with Fusang's vitality.

In order to confuse others, Li Haocheng also made a special detour and showed his figure in Odawara Castle, a small city on the road from Qinghama Port to Onoyama.

Little Kyushu Heaven and Earth, in essence, is a world where the sky is round, except for the Middle Earth, which occupies the most essence of heaven and earth, there are only some subject countries left with their own civilizations, and in addition, they are all barbarians who maintain the primitive tribal system.

The frequent exchanges between the subject countries and the suzerains also allowed the civilization of Middle-earth to penetrate into the civilizations of various countries, creating that all the civilizations of Little Kyushu can be traced back to Middle-earth.

The superiority of civilization and the strength of the country make the people of Middle-earth respected and courteous in any subject country.

The Fuso merchants, like Kobayano, who stayed in Middle-earth all the year round, saw too much, and this respect and courtesy decreased as they became familiar with the people of Middle-earth.

But for the natives of Fuso, Middle-earth is the territory of the sage king, the beginning of all civilizations, and the people who come out of it are first-class wise men. Therefore, when Li Haocheng appeared in this small city, he immediately attracted the attention of many Fusang people.

As soon as Li Haocheng found a place similar to a restaurant and sat down, he saw a samurai coming from outside, knelt down beside Li Haocheng, supported the ground with his hands, and after showing respect, he communicated with Li Haocheng in the Middle-earth language with a strong local flavor of Fuso: "Dare to ask Your Excellency if you are a wise man from Middle-earth?"

"Poor and clear, the common name is Li Haocheng. Li Haocheng first replied in the standard official dialect of Middle-earth, and then repeated it in Fusang language, as a monk in the ghost fairyland, and with the blessing of the jade talisman Qingguang, in the more than a month of the boat, he has learned the Fusang language through Xiaolinye, plus now with the blessing of the seven elephants and the god position, even if there are some Fusang dialects, Li Haocheng naturally knows how to say it.

Seeing this, the samurai breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and began to communicate with Li Haocheng in Fusang language: "My family has always admired the culture of Middle-earth, and today I heard the news of Your Excellency, and I specially ordered me to come, hoping that Your Excellency can go and give you some advice." ”

Li Haocheng, who was about to use the well-known people here to prove his route, naturally would not refuse, but he still remained calm on his face, and only said with a little interest: "Do you admire the culture of Middle-earth?"

Seeing this, the warrior supported the ground with his hands again, lowered his head, and said in an extremely respectful and humble manner: "Please be sure to appreciate the light!"

"Well, I'll just go with you. Li Haocheng followed the warrior to a courtyard in the middle of the city.

This courtyard is a typical Fusang-style courtyard, with the beauty of self-reflection, subtlety, tranquility and indifference in the middle earth garden, and it is very demanding in the details, and the structure is perfect, so that the people who see it can clearly feel a kind of quiet Zen specially made.

Li Haocheng shook his head secretly, and before following the samurai to the hall, he saw a middle-aged man in a black kimono in the hall, sitting on a tatami mat, and a set of tea sets were placed on the coffee table in front of him.

When he saw Li Haocheng, his eyes lit up, and he got up and bowed down and said: "The first time we met, my name is Kawakami Harano, and I am a retainer of the Kujo family! It is really an honor to be able to meet a sage from Middle-earth, please take a seat!"

Li Haocheng stepped forward and knelt down, and the samurai who came with Li Haocheng retreated not far away to wait after bowing to the Kawakami Plain.

Kawakami Harano picked up the teapot, poured a bowl, then held the tea bowl with his left palm, held the bowl with five fingers of his right hand, knelt on the ground and raised the tea bowl, and sent it to Li Haocheng.

Li Haocheng stretched out his hands to receive the tea, and after thanking him, he turned the tea bowl three times, lightly, slowly, and returned the tea bowl, the action was extremely light and elegant, and with a sense of quiet inaction, he was slightly stunned when he saw the field on the bed, and then heard Li Haocheng speak: "According to the rules of your Fusang, it should be appreciated and praised for the tea set you use, but I don't know your Fusang tea set very well, so I will give you some guidance on your tea ceremony." ”

Kawakami Yuanye was slightly stunned, then put his hands on the ground, and said respectfully: "Please advise." ”

Li Haocheng briefly analyzed the tea ceremony in the Kawakami Plains from the perspective of artistic conception, and then picked up the tea set and briefly showed him his understanding of the tea ceremony.

When the tea bowl was delivered to him, Kawakami Plain took the tea bowl with a pilgrimage-like attitude, and Li Haocheng just now, first turned the tea bowl three times, light and slow drinking.

The first sip of tea is like a cloud, the second sip is like a clear spring, and the third sip is a bright moon.

After three mouthfuls, Kawakami Harano only felt that his soul had been baptized, and after opening his eyes, everything seemed to be a little different, and he respectfully returned the tea bowl.

Li Haocheng asked, "Do you understand?"
