Chapter 553: Memory pulls the past of the Ming Dynasty
In the night, the lanterns are lit.
Shakuhachi drums, shamisen songs, fish and dragons dance at night, and the pipa is played again.
The handsome child carrying a red lantern sang a melodious but sacred tune, walking slowly and wonderfully, as if leading the float behind him.
The souls participating in the Yayoi Festival spontaneously stood in two rows. Regardless of their clothing, gender, or the amount of sinister aura they displayed, each of them bowed respectfully.
Kong Sang watched the luxurious float gradually drive into the Futarayama Shrine. Gradually, wisps of clouds and mist like ribbons surged from the wheels of the float, and finally disappeared.
But at the same time, a layer of open fire suddenly lit up on the palace deep inside Futarasan Shrine.
The firelight is like bright fireworks, warm and brilliant.
For a moment, the ghosts began to laugh and laugh again. This moment seemed extremely harmonious. It was impossible to tell that this was a gathering place for ghosts.
In fact, compared to the current situation in the city, this place is more like an unusual paradise.
Tadu & Xiao<@Shuo APP* Sora-san stood there, not in a hurry to enter, because there was this stone tablet outside the Futarayama Shrine. On this stone tablet, the story about Tokugawa Ieyasu was recorded.
Looking at the words stated on the ancient stone tablet, Kong Sang's vision began to blur.
At the same time, some wonderful memories appeared in his mind.
As if... I have been here before?
For a moment, a soft voice seemed to ring in his ears.
…
It seems to be an unknown hilltop, and because it is uninhabited, it looks a bit eerie.
In the palace surrounded by trees, Sang Zheng, dressed in plain clothes, was kneeling on a futon, offering incense respectfully to Emperor Fengdu in front of him.
"Master."
A little Taoist boy ran in in a hurry.

Sang frowned slightly and immediately said: "How is it appropriate to be so flustered in front of the Patriarch?"
The little Taoist boy looked to be only seven or eight years old, his childish look had not faded, his head was shaking like a rattle, he looked very interesting.
"Master, have you heard? Not long ago, the shogun of the island country secretly visited Kyushu. His name seemed to be... Tokugawa Ieyasu!"
Sang turned to look at his apprentice: "Yuanchuan, you should learn from your senior brother Yonghao and don't be surprised by these mortal world. Working hard to cultivate Taoism and improve Taoism as soon as possible is the right path."
Dai Yuanchuan curled his lips: "Master said this every time. But this time is different. They all said that although the man named Tokugawa Ieyasu is paying homage to the emperor, he is here to find you."
Sang couldn't help showing a look of astonishment: "What does this have to do with me?"
Yuanchuan shook his head: "I don't know the specifics. I just said that I hope the master will take action to suppress something. But it's very vague."
Sang didn't feel anything was wrong at first, but at this moment he reacted and grabbed Yuanchuan's ear: "You are such a playful little brat, did you use the mechanism that I left in the palace as a teacher?"
"It hurts, it hurts!" Yuanchuan said with a mournful face: "I don't understand. Master, you were helping Zhu Di conquer the world. Later, even if you left the palace in order to seek a long life and a good death, so many years have passed."
"The current Ming Dynasty is getting worse with each generation. Although Shenzong is now in power, there is a hint of a revival, but it has not regained the glory of the Ming Dynasty."

Sang shook his head helplessly: "You, you, don't forget that the cause and effect between my master and Shenzong's grandfather Jiajing is still unsolved."
"That's all. Now that we have heard this through the agencies left behind, it will not be long before Tokugawa Ieyasu comes back to visit him as his teacher. But I don't know what the purpose of his visit this time is."
Sang seemed very distressed and didn't want to see these people from outside the mountains.
The waiting time also made Sang unable to calm down and practice Taoism, so he simply let his disciples Yuanchuan and Yonghao relax for a few days.
As the sun rose and set, under the thin green smoke, four days later, two footsteps finally arrived on the empty mountain top.
In the main hall, Sang couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he looked at Ming Shenzong, who was wearing a dragon robe. Behind Ming Shenzong, there was an old man wearing island country clothes.
"See Your Majesty."
Facing the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Sang didn't seem to have much respect, and even bowed with a perfunctory and careless look.
However, Ming Shenzong, who controlled the power of life and death in Kyushu, was not angry. Instead, he looked at Sang with a hint of respect on his face.
"I'm here to bother senior again. The last time we met, I was still a child whose birth was hidden. If senior hadn't taken action, I'm afraid my grandfather would..."

"Stop." Sang interrupted Ming Shenzong's words rudely: "I saved you back then, just because I didn't want you to die in the hands of Jiajing, who was crazy about practicing immortality and Taoism. After you came to the throne, you sent people to find me again and again.
It’s just a way to seek immortality.”
"But I've already said that I don't have a way to live forever."
Ming Shenzong smiled bitterly and said: "Senior, I was just joking. When I first met you, you were still very old, but now you are as young as a child."
"However, I am not an ignorant person. If your senior doesn't want to give it, I won't say anything. I came here this time for the sake of the island country."
Sang showed a strange look, looking at the leader of the shogunate who had set aside the emperor of the island country and established the authority of the samurai family: "The dignified first leader of the island country, but he did not follow the serious way, but secretly crossed eastward to the front
You came to our country, and even asked Shenzong to bring you here, what do you mean?"
With that said, Sang turned around and walked out of the hall, obviously not intending to let the two of them enter the temple dedicated to Emperor Fengdu.
Yuanchuan and Yonghao, who were still young, were lying on the door, watching their master reprimanding the two of them as if they were reprimanding juniors, and they couldn't help showing admiration.
A moment later, when Ming Shenzong revealed his intention, Sang smiled coldly and waved his whisk, almost as if to see off the guests:
"It's ridiculous! I have been cultivating here for many years, and I have never even interfered with the turmoil of the Ming Dynasty over the years. Now it is ridiculous to ask me to take care of the resentful spirits of other countries."
As he spoke, Sang stared at Tokugawa Ieyasu, who trembled all over and showed a hint of fear in his eyes.

"As far as I know, your country also has onmyoji, monks, priests and other special talents. Are they all incompetent?"
Tokugawa Ieyasu showed a hint of embarrassment and explained in a somewhat lame Kyushu language: "It is true... no one can suppress it."
Sang frowned. The resentful spirit that caused all the masters of the country to fail would probably have a huge resentment.
"What kind of evil spirit?"
"Heishangmon." Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately said: "This man was the only person who raised troops to rebel against the emperor during the Heian period. He even conquered most of the Kanto region, so..."
Upon hearing this, Thornton suddenly understood.
He was a murderous warrior during his lifetime, and had a certain degree of royal luck in the island country. Such a person would naturally become a vicious and evil spirit after his death.
It’s also sad that none of the exorcists in the island country can do this.
"Please... senior take action!" Tokugawa Ieyasu said, taking out a letter from his sleeve and handing it over.
"What is this?" Sang couldn't help but ask.

Tokugawa Ieyasu explained: "Before coming here, I thought that the strange traveler knew my intention and gave me this letter. He said that if you see this letter, you should be willing to go."
"Oh?" Sang raised his eyebrows, revealing a hint of a smile: "I want to see what it's like..."
Before he finished speaking, Sang's pupils shrank when he saw the words in front of him.
Just because the content of the letter is concise and powerful: "Sang, I haven't seen you for a thousand years. I have found the method of immortality, Xu Fu."
Sang Wei narrowed his eyes, and the letter in his hand shattered.
Immediately, Sang turned around and returned to the main hall, and at the same time, a cold voice faintly came out: "We will set off in three days."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door closed directly.
…
At this moment, Kong Sang's consciousness recovered.
He looked at the stone tablet in front of him with some surprise. The content on the stone tablet clearly only described Tokugawa Ieyasu's life. Why did it involve his past?
"Yinshan...could it be the life of Yinshan Taoist? But was the span of that life so long? From the Ming Dynasty to the Republic of China?"
Kong Sang didn't believe this.
Because if I had really lived for such a long time in this lifetime.
Then, during the longevity ceremony incident, the self who appeared in the memories in the Mo family's ancestral home should not have looked so immature in doing things at that time.
A Taoist priest who could wander around the emperor would have died long ago if he didn't have this ability.
"Could it be that...as a disciple of the Yinshan Sect, am I the second generation? And...in this memory, there are actually Yuanchuan and Yonghao. I have seen them before in Yang Yuhuan's handbook of Liudao Zhenhuang Temple. Could it be that...
…”
Kong Sang suddenly discovered that many of the friends he had met in this life had intersected with him in the long river of time.
"Empty Sang."
Mr. Yunhe's voice interrupted Kongsang's thoughts.
Taking a closer look, I saw that the Yayoi Festival seemed to have reached a fever pitch.
"Let's go, let's go in and take a look." Kong Sang said, simply merging with Zhou Hui and turning into a ghost.
In this way, you don't have to worry about being seen by the dead next to you that you are alive.
Kong Sang, Liu Guinian and Yun He entered the shrine one after another.
The ghosts and monsters all around who were covered with white paper saw Kong Sang and the others, looked at them for a moment, and then turned away.
"Kong Sang, are we looking for something here now? The stone monument just now seemed..."
Faced with Liu Guinian's question, Kong Sang nodded: "Yes. That stone tablet records the life of Tokugawa Ieyasu, and it is not a very grand stone tablet. So there should be more among the Erarasan Shrine.
The rest of the stelae exist."
The copper coins in Kong Sang's palm are surrounded by complex lines of cause and effect.
"Um?"
Seeing that one end of the chaotic causal line was faintly involved in a certain position deep inside, Kong Sang's eyebrows moved.
Because this line... represents Shio Fujiwara!

"Could it be that Shio Fujiwara is also at the Futarayama Shrine where the Yayoi Festival is held at this moment?"
Following the line of cause and effect, Kusang gradually came to the depths of Futarasan Shrine.
Suddenly, the child holding a red lantern stopped in front of Kong Sang with a hint of laughter.
"Is it you?"
Kong Sang could clearly see that this person was the lantern boy who had attracted him just now and almost fell into the abyss.
"This is the residence of Lady Si, outsiders are not allowed to enter."
"Nv Si?" Kong Sang looked at the cause and effect line in his hand that was directly connected to the worship hall not far away, and suddenly showed a strange look: "Is your female Si the only one in this worship hall?"
A little knowledge:
Taira Shomon was the first samurai in Kanto during the Heian period and the only one who claimed to be the new emperor.
Because the Japanese emperor emphasized the divine right of kings, even though there was no actual power behind him, no one really rebelled and became the emperor.

At most, like Tokugawa Ieyasu, he holds the actual power of governance in his hands.
It is said that Taira Shomon was so powerful that he remained resentful even after his death.
The Onmyoji at that time had no choice but to suppress the evil spirit of the Taira Shomon after his death using the method of Shomon Mound.
