Chapter 211 The Three Veins of Onmyoji It’s more than just a little heavy! This is clearly too heavy! The Omaeji held the compass with both hands with great effort, trying to keep his body steady, looking back and forth at the compass. With the result in mind, Omae-no-Miyasu returned the compass to Jingu Yaezakura, shook his hands, and said seriously: "This is the demon-killing compass owned by the Onmyoji who originated from the Tianwen Dao lineage." Astronomy Road? Jingu Yae Sakura was a little confused, and so was Hiramiya Chiya. They knew very little about Onmyoji. The Grand Priest took in the confusion on their faces, coughed lightly, cleared his throat, raised his head slightly, and said confidently: "Japan's Onmyoji can now be roughly divided into three branches." "The most powerful and longest-standing is the Yin-Yang Dao; the calendar is used to make calendars and determine whether days are auspicious or unlucky; the astronomy is used to observe celestial bodies, perform divination, and ponder the hidden meanings of comets." Seeing that the two still knew nothing about this, Prince Daijo was in a good mood and began to teach them some knowledge about Onmyoji. During the Asuka period, China's Yin-Yang and Five Elements theory was introduced to Japan, and Onmyoji was developed by combining Japan's original Jukindo and Shintoism. This is also the origin of Onmyoji. Just as Chinese Buddhism originated in India and was later improved by many eminent monks to become Buddhism that adapts to the Chinese system and customs.
The same is true for the Onmyoji lineage. The Heian period was the most prosperous era for Onmyoji, and at that time, Onmyoji's popularity once overshadowed Buddhism and Shintoism. Unfortunately, as the influence of the royal family and the nobility gradually declined, the Onmyoji who were dependent on the regime also stepped behind the scenes. After entering the Warring States Period, the imperial power declined, the samurai class ruled the country, and Onmyoji gradually disappeared from the stage of history. As it declined, the Onmyoji's Onmyoji was split into two branches: the Calendar and the Astronomy. Yang Hu Yuchen studied under Guanle Sengzheng and specialized in calendar, and was revered as the founder of calendar. Otomo Takamune studied under Guanle Sengzheng, majoring in the art of astrology and celestial observation, and was revered as the founder of astronomy. Back to modern times, as demons and monsters gradually appeared in the real world and caused harm, Onmyoji once again gained the attention of those in power and received strong support. The reason why Onmyoji are rarely encountered in daily life is that, just like in history, they depend on the royal family and the political power to survive. "The Tianwen Dao is good at observing celestial bodies and making divinations based on them, similar to the ancient Chinese astrologers." The Grand Priest pointed to the compass and said, "This demon-killing compass is a magical tool used to assist the Yin-Yang Master in observing the stars and making divinations correctly." At this point, Omaeji said with some admiration, "This demon-killing compass has been around for quite a while. If it was made 20 years ago, then the Yin-Yang master who possessed it must have been an important figure." Hiramiya Chiya understood what Daimamiyaji meant. 20 years ago, the world changed drastically, and the Seven Lords of Sin, Our Lady of Suffering, and the Distorted Lord all appeared on the stage of human history at that time. If there is an Onmyoji who can predict their existence in advance and create such a compass, it means that he has possessed great supernatural powers like the Buddhist clairvoyance, and can see the past and the future for a short period of time. Such a person, no matter which sect he belongs to, is a great figure like Master Liaojie. "Can you use this compass?" "will not." The Omaeji ended the topic simply. "Then why are you still talking so much nonsense?"
"..." Faced with the criticism of his own goddess, Omori Omiya could only endure it silently. Hiramiya Chiya asked Jingu Yaezakura to ask the giant octopus again about the compass. But he didn't get any useful answer, so Pinggong Qianye could only put the compass away for the time being. Like the Omae priest and the Iori priest, they also collect some religious instruments or precious objects that do not belong to Shintoism. "Shall we take Xiaoguai away from here?" When they were about to leave, Jingu Yaezakura took Chiya Hiramiya's arms with both hands in front of Omasa Miyabi, shaking and begging. "Its body is so big that only the deep sea environment is suitable for raising it." said Omori Omiya with a dark face. "No, I want to play with Xiaoguai when I have time in the future." "Can it become smaller?" asked Pinggong Qianye. "all right." Yae Sakura Jingu smiled and communicated with the giant octopus for a while, successfully turning the giant octopus into a small octopus that was active in Yae Sakura Jingu's palm. "Then I'll leave Xiaoguai to you to raise from now on, okay?" In response to Jingu Yaezakura's coquettishness, Heimiya Chiye nodded, saying that the pond in his temple should be okay. I already have a Umibozu, which also comes from the deep sea, so it would be a good idea to raise a giant Pacific octopus to keep it company. This really looks like the little octopus at the barbecue stall. I want to eat it. Hiramiya Chiye cast a thoughtful gaze at the little octopus, scaring it so much that it quickly hid under the back of Jingu Yaezakura's hand. As soon as the three of them stepped out of the gate of the amusement park, the Big Valley Amusement Park behind them suddenly disappeared. Even Pinggong Qianye couldn't capture any useful information. I can only sigh that there are still many unsolved mysteries in this world. "It's getting late, isn't it?" The Omaeji looked at the time displayed on the street shops and reminded them with a stern face. "You are so annoying." Jingu Yaezakura muttered, and then took Heimiya Chiye's arm and said, "I also want to visit your temple." "Well, let's go." Pinggong Qianye also looked at the time. It was 11 o'clock at night, not too late. "..." The Omiyaji could only sigh helplessly and followed the two of them silently. …… In Weilian Ancient Temple, Ruyi was guarding the temple alone. He had finished chanting sutras and was about to lie down to rest when he heard a noise coming from outside. He quickly got up and went out to check.
The person who came was Master Liansheng, and next to him was a girl wearing a shrine maiden's costume, and behind him was an old man who was neither too far nor too close. Is Master Liansheng going to bring this girl back to spend the night? Ruyi's expression was slightly stunned. He quickly suppressed this thought and went forward to meet him. "This is the goddess of Tsukimi Shrine. She often keeps an eye on this place when I'm not at the temple." Pinggong Qianye gave a brief introduction and let Ruyi go down to rest first. He took Jingu Yaezakura to visit a circle of temples. Daijoji also followed him into the temple and looked around the Weilian Ancient Temple with curiosity, but he didn't find anything special. After visiting the temple, Heimiya Chiye led Jingu Yaezakura to the pickle jar behind the side hall. Under the moonlight, Umibozu in the jar was hiding in a small stone nest, pretending to rest. "Live here for now. After a few days, when the lotus pond is built, we'll give you a new home." "Little cutie, you have to stay here and I will come to play with you often in the future." Yaezakura Jingu pulled out the little octopus that was curled up in her wide sleeves and put it into the water tank with a plop. "That hiding fish is so ugly." Jingu Yae Sakura said with disdain. "It's okay, it only eats vegetarian food now." Hiramiya Chiya signaled to Jingu Yaezakura to relax, saying that he had not sealed the giant octopus's demonic power, and if a real fight broke out, Umibozu would be beaten. In the water tank, as soon as the little octopus entered the water, it swam towards the small nest built with stones. It curiously looked at its neighbor who had arrived earlier than it, but saw that the neighbor ignored it. He opened his mouth and spat, from which came out several pearls, shells, conches, corals, and other objects. After waving its eight tentacles busily for a while, it built a temporary home for itself. Compared to the shabby house where the Umi-bouzu lived across the street, its house looked like a magnificent palace. Looking at this scene, Haifangzhu couldn't help feeling jealous, thinking that after the people left, he would take over the magpie's nest. It is the overlord of the deep sea and is suitable to live in that big palace. "It seems like they are getting along very well." Jingu Yaezakura observed for a while, and seeing that Xiaoguai and Umibozu got along well, she left with peace of mind. Walking out of the temple, Jingu Yaezakura looked at the bright moon in the sky and reluctantly held Hiramiya Chiye's arm. "Will you come and pick me up from the mountain again in the future?" "meeting." Hiramiya Chiye caressed Jingu Yaezakura's head lovingly. "Well, I'll wait for you." Jingu Yaezakura is smiling. The unpleasant-looking Omae Palace Chief said in an inopportune voice, "Goddess, you are the deity worshipped by the Tsukimi Shrine. You need to protect your own divine residence. You cannot come out casually, let alone sneak out."
Jingu Yaezakura pouted and said unhappily, "Is it okay to come out once a week?" "No." Omori Omiya shook his head and refused. He would not give in easily on this matter. "I don't care about you. I have to come out at least twice a month." After saying this, Yaezakura Jingu ignored the Omasa priest and used the moonlight from the sky to transform into a Milky Way that was difficult for ordinary people to see. In a few breaths, she landed on the top of the hill of Tsukimi Shrine. "..." Seeing this scene, Ojoji was both happy and helpless. With such magical powers, even if the goddess sneaked out and sneaked back, he would not be able to detect it. "Good night." Heimiya Chiya smiled at Omae no Miyabi and closed the temple gate. "..." Looking at the tightly closed temple gate, Ojoji had a lot of things he wanted to say, but in the end he could only sigh. Thinking about having to drive on that broken road when he got back, his butt started to ache. (End of this chapter)
