Chapter 1,226 The famous head, help me ascend to immortality!
"Dream……"
On the Kagura treasure ship, Li Yan opened his palm, and a crystal clear green leaf floated in the air. Jiuye's voice came from inside, reporting Yan Shifan's movements.
Yan Shifan received unknown information through a dream, and his destination was actually Gao Tianyuan, which proved that the demon in his body was related to the so-called kingdom of heaven.
But the specific content of the dream is still unknown. Jiuye observed from a distance and did not alert the snake.
Li Yan put away the green leaves and looked at the vast mist in the distance.
Just yesterday, Wu Sheng's old mother tried to enter and almost got lost, but Xiao Bailong and Bajie went together to find her.
Bajie, who was greedy for comfort and was lazy and careless, went out with the Ginseng Baoshu at the critical moment, but when he came back, he wanted to break up the gang and refused to join again.
Because the treasure tree, which can purify filth and protect a place's safety, is actually helpless against this strange mist. Fortunately, the mist cannot corrode the treasure tree, otherwise this idiot would have to get lost in it, and naturally he would be very frightened.
"Does this mean that the main component of the mist is not the filth of heaven and earth, but the doomed karma of the devil?"
Li Yan had new thoughts on this.
The hostile existences encountered so far can be divided into two major categories: evil spirits and demons.
Evil spirits are gods, ghosts and spirits that have been corrupted and corrupted by the filth of heaven and earth, such as Hangzhou
The evil spirit transformed from the evil soil is a burly old man...
The same goes for the peach tree spirit in heaven. In order to extend life and interact with it, the gods invisibly introduce evil spirits, transform into spirits, and secretly descend to the earth.
Li Yan once classified the Japanese gods into this category. He felt that these Japanese gods were existences that could only gain a foothold after opening their arms and accepting filth. However, problems still occurred and their sense of existence was weak.
After all, the power of filth is really so easy to control. Heaven and Lingshan have already done this. But in fact, the gods in Heaven chose to sleep. Although the underworld is still functioning, it is also in chaos...
And recent experiences have gradually tilted his understanding of Japanese gods toward the second category, demons.
There is currently very little information about the demon, except for the broad definition given by Buddhism, which is the existence that possessed Yan Shifan this time.
It is closely related to the karma of the tribulations of living beings, and is probably the culprit behind the birth of the Nine Tribulations after the changes in heaven and earth.
The fog in front of me also belongs to this category...
This explains why the inanimate old mother will be lost, but the little white dragon can come in and out safely, because this eight-part heavenly dragon Guangli Bodhisattva guards the passage between the two realms and has great merits and virtues to protect the body...
The same is true for the ginseng tree. It cannot clear away karma, but its ability to maintain a person's peace can also resist karmic disasters to a certain extent.
If this judgment is correct, Li Yan himself can enter, and he also has merit.
Of course, it is basically useless to go in. After Xiao Bailong penetrates thousands of miles, he feels danger and has to retreat. His current merits are not as good as Xiao Bailong, and the distance he goes deeper will only be shorter.
So there are two ways, either to increase the merit of resisting karma, or to find another way and explore another method.
Li Yan was prepared.
How to increase merit?
After breaking through the limits of the ordinary world, the consultation appointment for Yama in the Ten Palaces of the Underworld is finally on the agenda!
How to find another way?
"Yan Shifan, it depends on your ability to make trouble!"
...
"It's the same dream again...it looks like we're going to do something big!"
Yan Shifan stood up and pressed his brow.
Over the past few days, his dreams have gradually become unified, each time they are foggy.
cover, the ferry diverts the water.
And every time he calls out, the boatman responds with that request. The nine karma are heavy
skull.
Yan Shifan didn't want to follow it at first, and he even tried to get into the mist, but as soon as he drifted a hundred steps inside, he felt unparalleled pain.
It was as if thousands of ghosts were pounced on him, biting every inch of flesh and blood, and woke up screaming.
With no other choice, he could only consider offering the skull.
If you were still in the Ming Dynasty, you could collect the skull bowls of Monk Fan and pick out nine of them. Now you don't have that condition, you can only make them now.
"Is the karma heavy?"
Yan Shifan's eyes flickered and he already had a target in mind. He looked at Kato Danzo and said, "The Kingdom of Kai is coming soon. Please tell me in detail about the heroic appearance of Governor Takeda. I want to know more about this brave general."
Kato Danzo was very happy and showed a proud look: "My head is indeed an invincible general, a fine knight from the land of Fuso. He uses it superbly. Once the flag of the Takeda family flutters, Fugaku (Mount Fuji) will too."
Follow the wave..."
Yan Shifan listened carefully, eliminating the boasts and paying attention to the character style behind the achievements.
For example, after Takeda Shingen entered the battlefield at the age of sixteen, he fought more than 50 fierce battles, basically attacking and rarely defending. He even experienced more than 20 siege battles, all of which were focused on storming and besieging the city.
, he would not hesitate to spend several months for a city, and would never retreat until it was captured...
Another example is that Takeda Shingen did not allow the enemy to surrender but killed them all, used thousands of heads to pile up to destroy the opponent's morale, deliberately offered sky-high ransoms and forced noble captives to serve as slave labor...
All these things made Yan Shifan conclude in his heart: "This man is indeed a talented general, and he is so successful that he is so prosperous and arrogant that he can be exploited!"
When it comes to governing the country and safeguarding the country, this little cabinet minister is always a bit inept, but when it comes to conspiracy and calculation, he is an expert at it, and he immediately has the prototype of a plan.
However, he was unfamiliar with the people and place here, and as arrogant as he was, he did not dare to act rashly. He asked again: "I heard that there are many practitioners in the Japanese country. How is their relationship with your family head?"
Kato Danzo said: "The noble Onmyoji and Dharma monks all live in shrines and temples. The head of the family is the great monk Masaru of the Tendai Sect and has close contacts with them."
Takeda Shingen was a devout believer in Buddhism. His original name was Takeda Harunobu. He changed his name to "Shingen" after he became a monk. When he wrote a letter against Oda Nobunaga, he also signed it "Tiandai Zamon Shingen", indicating that he is the protector of Buddhism, Oda Nobunaga.
When replying to the letter, he signed it "Nobunaga, the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven", thus tit for tat.
Yan Shifan asked curiously: "Since they have the support of those people, how can other armies resist the cultivators who call the wind and rain? Why can't your family leader unify the Japanese country?" Kato Danzang said: "The cultivators will not interfere in secular disputes.
Of course I won’t help the family leader attack other famous names.”
Yan Shifan shook his head: "You have power, but you don't commit any crime against the secular world? I don't believe it!"
Kato Danzo became excited: "Every daimyo has a destiny. They will compete to be the common leader of the world. That is the key to the rise of our Fuso. How can we destroy it?"
Yan Shifan roughly understood that the Japanese practitioners hoped that the secular forces would choose a strong man through fighting and fighting to lead the island nation to rise.
In his opinion, this is purely wishful thinking. With such a large territory, even if the political power is unified, what else can be done? Is it possible to cross the sea and attack the Ming Dynasty?
This is wrong, not to mention that more than thirty years later, after Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified Japan, his ambitions expanded. In order to divert domestic conflicts over the uneven distribution of land, he began to expand externally, and even planned to use force
First invade North Korea, then conquer the Ming Dynasty, then seek Tianzhu, and then dominate the entire continent.
When they invaded North Korea, the Japanese army was really at a considerable advantage. They launched a blitzkrieg and captured many important places in North Korea within a month. They even captured King Seoul. The King of North Korea fled north and asked for help from the Ming Dynasty.
At that time, Zhang Juzheng died of illness, and Wanli had already begun to be passive in politics. Fortunately, it did not last long, and the national power had not declined significantly. Li Chengliang was still there, and the Qi family army was still there, becoming the main force in the Korean battlefield and defeating the Japanese invaders. These are the three major forces of Wanli
Conquer the war against Japan and aid Korea.
However, the seven-year war seemed to have won the Ming Dynasty and North Korea, but in fact, all three suffered losses.
Korea was destroyed and resurrected. As the main battlefield, there were countless casualties, needless to say; the Japanese army also suffered heavy losses. After the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the Toyotomi family quickly declined, and power was seized by Tokugawa Ieyasu; as for the Ming Dynasty,
This greatly weakened the military strength of Liao Town and virtually gave Hou Jin a chance to rise. When Li Chengliang died, Nurhaci could no longer be contained.
Kato Danzo naturally didn't know that under normal circumstances, the development of the Japanese country would indeed have a huge impact on the other side of the sea. He said with admiration: "Whenever Onmyoji and magic monks appear on the battlefield, they only save the souls of the dead, never...
I will help anyone, even the ninjas under my command, and I will not serve any daimyo. This is a detached attitude. You Ming masters are breaking the rules too much!"
"It's ridiculous to tie your own hands and feet. I don't believe that this group of Japanese practitioners can unite to this extent. There must be another reason behind it!"
Yan Shifan sneered in his heart: "According to this statement, you are a ninja who works for Takeda Shingen. Why did you cross the ocean and sneak into the Tianshi Mansion?"
Kato Danzo was full of piety: "We, the people, must obey the Amaterasu Oracle!"
Yan Shifan said: "But when you returned to Japan, you didn't see Amaterasu summoning you. The sneak attack on Li Shizhen failed and you were abandoned?"
Kato Danzo's piety remained unchanged, but his expression darkened.
He brought Yan Shifan to Fusang in accordance with the oracle, but when he actually returned to the island, he did not receive any further instructions.
But Gao Tianyuan's divine will was something that a humble ninja like him could not comment on. He did not dare to ask any questions, but he naturally felt very uncomfortable.
Yan Shifan still wanted to take advantage of him, but did not want to hit him too hard, so he changed the topic and continued to ask about Takeda Shingen's situation.
After Kato Danzo not only told about his lord but also the nearby daimyo, Yan Shifan ordered him to hunt game, and then discussed with Qinfeng and told his dream: "The Japanese were fighting endlessly, and everyone
The great names must all have deep karma, and taking off their heads will help me ascend to immortality and do whatever I want!"
Qin Feng was full of admiration: "My husband is a great talent!"
Yan Shifan laughed, the red light in his eyes became more intense, and he was full of confidence: "Does the barbaric land also deserve destiny? I... am the destiny!"
