Takamagahara is the world where gods live in Japanese myths and legends. It is also the world of gods in the minds of many Japanese people. It has been praised for more than 2000 years.
However, Takamagahara does not exist in reality, but there is a place that does exist, and it is the northern plateau of Japan.
This sparsely populated plateau with numerous mountains cannot be compared with the densely populated south, but everyone in the Japanese martial arts community knows that this is a place where a powerful Taoist tradition is stationed.
This Taoist tradition is Heian Onmyodo, one of the famous Onmyodo in Japan. As an Onmyodo system that emerged in the Heian period of Japan, Heian Onmyodo has a history of more than 1,000 years.
It has stood in Japan for too long, and powerful onmyojis have been born from generation to generation. They have great prestige throughout Japan, both in the martial arts world and the secular world.
With a long heritage of more than 1,000 years, Heian Onmyodo has a profound foundation and is considered one of the absolute giants in the Onmyoji world in Japan.
The northern plateau, as the inheritance place of Heian Yin Yang Dao, is also the place where generations of Yin Yang masters have retreated and practiced asceticism.
At this moment, on the northern plateau, there is the Yin Yang Shrine of peace.
This huge palace complex standing on the top of a mountain has obvious Chinese cultural characteristics. The pavilions, pavilions, and palace tiles are deeply influenced by the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty.
"Great Three Gods of Creation, I am your humblest slave. I believe in you devoutly, praise you, and pray to you..."
The most spectacular and luxurious of all palace complexes is a magnificent temple enshrined in three tall sculptures.
The three statues are about ten meters high. They are all wearing mysterious robes with mysterious expressions. Their eyes are deep and boundless, as if they contain endless wisdom and can see through the ultimate mysterious laws of the universe.
In the majestic palace complex, several devout onmyojis were kneeling. They were prostrate on the ground, chanting words and praying constantly.
From their words, it is not difficult to judge the true identities of these three statues. They are the famous three gods of creation in Japanese mythology: the main god of the sky, the god of the high and middle sun, and the god of the god of the sun.
The Three Gods of Creation are the oldest gods in Japanese mythology and the first generation of gods. They are powerful and most extraordinary.
"The Great Three Gods of Creation, evildoers are now rampant and wreaking havoc in the world. Your humble people are living among the gods of water and fire. We ask the Great Three Gods of Creation to save your most humble servants..."
"We praise you..."
Seven onmyojis wearing black divine robes were kneeling devoutly, chanting words and praying continuously.
If there are people from the Japanese martial arts community and Onmyodo here, they will definitely recognize these seven or eight Onmyojis. These seven people are the seven great Onmyojis of Heian Onmyodo.
In the field of Onmyodo, those who can be called the "Great Onmyoji" are all powerful mythological masters, while the "Great Onmyoji" is a demigod-level existence above the myths.
The seven great yin-yang masters naturally represent the seven demigods.
There are actually seven great Onmyoji in a mere safe Onmyoji. This is obviously different from the information known to the world, but it would not be surprising to people in the Japanese martial arts world.
Because in Japan, martial arts have been weak since ancient times.
In contrast, Yin Yang Dao has a long inheritance, is unfathomable, and rarely sets foot in the world. It is a high-ranking divine figure.
The martial arts world is not powerful, but Yin Yang Dao must be extraordinary. There are myths and demigods. The Japanese martial arts world will not be shocked. At most, it is just a small accident!
"The three great gods of creation..."
The lengthy prayer finally came to an end, and the seven Great Yin Yang Divine Masters were about to stand up and end their monthly routine prayers when the statue in the middle suddenly opened its eyes and looked down at the seven people below.
Without noticing, the seven people rolled up their divine robes, stood up with support, bowed to the three statues, and prepared to walk out of the temple.
At this moment, the statue in the middle moved its lips up and down and spoke: "Are you the servants of God in this generation?"
As soon as these words came out, it was like thunder on a dry land. It shocked the seven great Yin Yang Masters all over. Their faces changed and they looked at each other in shock.
"Who is speaking?"
"Seems to be……"
Swish swish——
As if there was a tacit understanding, the seven people turned their heads at the same time and looked at the three statues standing above, and then saw the statue in the middle with its eyes open and shining with divine light.
"This, this, this..."
"Did the statue open its eyes?!"
"Apparition!"
"The great god has appeared!"
"Plop——"
"Plop——"
In an instant, the seven Great Yin-Yang Divine Masters all knelt down on the ground, their heads buried deep at the feet of the statue, and their whole bodies were trembling uncontrollably. It was not clear whether they were excited or frightened.
"My slave, why don't you answer my questions?"
The statue in the middle spoke again, and the voice was ethereal, as if it came from the horizon, and also seemed to explode in the ears, deafening, and the ears of the seven great Yin and Yang masters were rumbling.
At this time, the Great Yin Yang Divine Master in the center reacted the fastest. He hurriedly took two steps forward, his teeth chattering and said: "Return... to the great Lord God of the Heavenly Palace, we are the ones who preside over the palace of this generation.
Onmyoji, I am your humblest and most devout slave, fly safely!"
Safe flight!
The most revered Great Onmyoji in contemporary Heian Onmyodo in Japan is also the master of the Heian Onmyo Shrine. His status is very prominent. He has a very respected status both in the secular world and in the field of Onmyodo. He is called
:Feidu Divine Master!
It is no exaggeration to say that his disciples and disciples are all over the Japanese government, consortiums, companies and many other fields.
This is a truly important man. Even if the emperor sees him, he must bow respectfully and call him "divine master"!
However, at this moment, this prominent figure was kneeling on the ground in the temple, his voice trembling.
If such a scene were to be known to outsiders, they would be extremely shocked. Is this still the unsmiling and aloof divine master?
Little did they know that at this time, the divine master Ping An Feiniao was experiencing something incredible.
"Safe flight!"
The statue murmured, and then continued: "My servant, let me ask you, why has faith declined so much in recent years?"
Loss of faith?
This... why do you ask this?
Ping An Feidu trembled with fright, and said quickly: "Reporting to the great Lord God of Heaven, this is something that is uncontrollable, because in recent years, science and technology have become increasingly developed, people's wisdom has gradually become brighter, and their living standards have improved. People are gradually changing.
I have lost my faith..."
With the development of science and technology, the progress of the times, people's wisdom is gradually opening up, people are no longer as ignorant as before, and their faith has been lost. This is a very normal law of nature.
Even though he was the Great Onmyoji of Heian Onmyodo and an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years, Heian Feidu saw the number of followers decreasing little by little, but he only watched and did not stop it.
Because he knew very well that this was the trend of the times and could not be stopped at all, but he never thought that this would arouse the dissatisfaction of the Lord God of Heaven.
