But now this place is a scene of chaos after the war.
Before Daomen ended his career in person, the Prime Minister's Office had already fought a battle with the Zunbo faction. The previous regent, Sekibaro Toyotomi Hidetsugi, died unexpectedly on the way to personally conquer the Zunbo sect. Otherwise, the dignified regent Guanbai would not have been so easy to assassinate.
After Toyotomi Hidetsugi's unexpected death, the Prime Minister's Office had to withdraw its troops in a hurry, and then fell into internal fighting over the issue of the successor, so the Prime Minister's Office switched from offensive to defensive. Even because of the civil strife, his home base of Hide Kyoto was destroyed.
The pie was riddled with holes.
As a battlefield, Ise is littered with corpses.
The lack of order makes bandits run rampant.
And because of the special nature of Fenglin Island, living people can turn into ghosts, gods and monsters because of their resentment, let alone the dead. Therefore, Ise is now full of ghosts and ghosts, as if it is a ghost country on the ground, which is very scary.
The ghosts and gods in turn influence the living people, causing all kinds of mutations to occur in the living people. Many people look just like ordinary people on the outside, but in fact, dark ghosts have quietly arisen in their hearts. As long as the opportunity matures, they will take root, sprout, and thrive.
In the end, people turn into ghosts and monsters.
This means that the Zhiming Cult has not yet developed into Fenglin Continent. If there is a Zhiming Cult, within a few years, the undead army will sweep across the entire Fenglin Continent. ??
At this point, both sides have quite a tacit understanding. Both the priests of Tianmen and the Onmyoji of Onmyodo entered Ise and began to exorcise demons.
Because of this, Master Qingwei would send Tsuchimikado Onmyoji as an envoy, and with the identity of Onmyoji as a cover, even Ise Shrine did not notice it at first. It is a pity that Tsuchimikado Onmyoji because of himself
However, he failed in the end and his traces were exposed on the way back, which aroused the vigilance of Ise Shrine and left great hidden dangers to those who came after him.
Seeking benevolence will lead to benevolence, and in the end the Tsuchimikado family was rated as unworthy of use by Master Qingwei.
Within the Taoist sect, this is a very harsh evaluation. After being labeled with this label, it will be extremely difficult to go further in the future. It is conceivable that after the rebellion is suppressed, some people will skyrocket and some will be liquidated.
, and the Tsuchimikado family, which was evaluated by Master Qingwei as "unusable", although they will not be liquidated, they will have to stand aside.
However, because there are too many ghosts, Ise Shrine cannot ban Onmyoji from entering Ise just because of this.
Qi Xuansu disguised himself as an Onmyoji who did not belong to Onmyoliao and came to Dohui County in Ise in the name of exorcism.
The so-called Onmyoji who does not belong to Onmyogliao
, similar to the wandering Taoist priests in Taoism, who have Taoist status but no income, so they can only make a living by themselves. They can live in the world, read Feng Shui, read fortunes, tell fortunes, catch ghosts, and exorcise evil spirits. This is Qi Xuansu's specialty.
Okay, you can say that you are familiar with the road.
They are also onmyojis. The Tsuchimikado family is the largest faction in the onmyory. Their ancestor is not Tsuchimikado, but Abe. His ancestor is the great onmyoji Seimei. He studied under the Kamo family. He once used the "Yata mirror".
The great Onmyoji Yasuchika who wounded Tamamo Mae was also from the Abe family.
When the Great Onmyoji Seimei became famous, he was called the number one person in Horinzhou. He had an old enemy named Domitsu. He did not belong to either Kamo or Abe family, but was a Harima-ryu Onmyoji who wandered among the people.
.At that time, the Great Onmyoji Qingming supported Guan Bai, while the Great Onmyoji Doman stood on the opposite side of Qingming. The two were each their own, and they fought many times. In the end, Doman lost to Seimei and was exiled to Harima by the Fenglinzhou court.
During his exile, Doman recruited many disciples and spread the word widely. This is the origin of Harima-ryu.
The so-called Harima-ryu is somewhat similar to the Maoshan lineage in Shoichi. For a period of time, Daijin Mansion used the genealogy of "Shoichi Sanzan". The three mountains here are Unkinsan, Gakuzao, and Maoshan.
However, later the Gezao Tao split and was almost destroyed. Later, it was classified into the Quanzhen Tao by Xuansheng. Maoshan was weak and mainly engaged in private activities, with almost no sense of presence in the upper echelons of the Taoist sect. Today's Zhengdao no longer talks about righteousness.
There are one or three mountains, but I will only talk about the first one in Xijiang. There is only one mountain in the main road, which is Yunjin Mountain.
Many wandering Taoist priests and Mr. Yin and Yang come from the Maoshan lineage. They are mainly rooted in the folk and are very down-to-earth. Strictly speaking, after Qi Xuansu's master Qi Haoran joined Zhengyiyi, his surname was not Zhang, so he was not from the Yunjinshan lineage, and he was not a woman.
, it is not counted as Cihang lineage, it seems to be counted as Maoshan lineage.
Qi Xuansu is half a descendant of Maoshan, and coupled with his experience as a wandering Taoist priest, he naturally entered Ise as a Harima-ryu Onmyoji.
In fact, Qi Xuansu didn't like Feng Linzhou's clothes very much.
Fortunately, after nearly a hundred years of influence from the Taoist sect, Fenglinzhou has been transformed into the Central Plains to a large extent. Regardless of how the Zunbang sect shouts, it is the general trend to become the king of the Celestial Dynasty. The word "Muqiang" is almost engraved on Fenglinzhou.
In the heart of everyone, whether they are dignitaries or ordinary people, they are proud to imitate the Central Plains in terms of food and clothing. The more Central Plains is transformed, the more it proves that the family is rich. Even Toyotomi Hidemoto abandoned tradition
Tsukiyotou and Toyotomi Chiyo
, simply dressed as a female Taoist priest.
The clogs were invented by the Central Plains people, but most of the Central Plains people gave up the clogs long ago, and they have only been widely spread in Fenglinzhou. After the new wind from the Central Plains blew into Fenglinzhou, many people in Fenglinzhou also gave up the clogs.
This tradition was replaced by boots or shoes.
Nowadays, the most popular clothing in Fenglinzhou is Taoist robes and cloud shoes. Daimyos, feudal lords, and ministers cannot wear Taoist robes directly because of their status. Common people cannot afford to wear Taoist robes. They are most suitable for those who are not above or below, such as Onmyoji.
, warriors, wealthy businessmen, etc. This also made it more difficult to identify people from the Central Plains and Fenglinzhou. When Gui Shanxing and others assassinated Zhenwei Qingwei, everyone was dressed as a Central Plains person.
At this time, Qi Xuansu was wearing a Taoist robe that had been washed white, badly worn boots with raised toes, and a nondescript Onmyoji crown. The only thing that was well preserved was the folding fan in his hand.
This outfit looks like the kind of person who lives in a poor family. His ancestors had family property and status. Now his family is in decline, but he still clings to the glory of his ancestors. He tries to dress like a respectable person, trying to be aristocratic, but he can't hide that.
He was poor, and coupled with his identity as a Harima-ryu Onmyoji, he was very inconspicuous in the chaotic Ise, and almost no one would give him a second glance.
On the contrary, the Onmyoji of Tsuchimikado had lived a good life for too long, and they could no longer conceal their aura of wealth, so it was reasonable for them to be discovered by Tianmen in the end.
Qi Xuansu was walking alone in a battlefield site. There were bloody corpses everywhere, broken flags, broken weapons, and wild dogs looking for food.
Qi Xuansu did not bring Lin Lingsu with him.
Although he had a quota of one million, he did not use it on Lin Lingsu.
First of all, the amount of one million belongs to Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu. It is not 500,000 per person, but one million. It was negotiated by two people. Qi Xuansu wants to use public funds for private purposes, and Zhang Yuelu will most likely not agree. Zhang Yuelu
He is not a vassal of Qi Xuansu, and he will not let Qi Xuansu do whatever he wants. Moreover, public funds are not easily misappropriated. If you are not careful, you will be discovered, and that will be a catastrophic disaster that will ruin your future.
Secondly, if you want to produce a large amount of "soul-returning incense" in a short period of time, apart from Daomen, only Qibaofang can do it. Qi Xuansu is far away in Fenglinzhou and cannot contact Qiniang. If he has money, he has no place to buy it.
.
Finally, Qi Xuansu can't stand still. He is already a third-grade Youyi Taoist priest. He can no longer be as petty as before. He has to open up the situation, especially in terms of consciousness. There is still considerable progress.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and a projectile
Shooting towards Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu was able to dodge early, but he didn't want to expose his cultivation, so he just tilted his head slightly and let the projectile rub his cheek, as if the opponent missed it instead of him avoiding it.
Qi Xuansu looked towards the direction where the projectiles were coming from. A man dressed as an ashigaru stood up from his hiding place and pointed the muzzle of the gun at Qi Xuansu.
Because the armor on his body was severely damaged and the flag on his back was missing, Qi Xuansu could not tell which daimyo he was.
Qi Xuansu raised the folding fan in his hand and pointed it at the other party, and asked with "his mind", "Who are you?"
The ashigaru holding the gun frowned and asked, "Who are you? Are you from the prime minister's house? Or are you from the imperial court?"
Qi Xuansu said, "I am neither from the Prime Minister's Mansion nor from the imperial court. I am just an Onmyoji."
Ashigaru sneered, "The Shrine has announced that Onmyodo is a cult of obscene temples. Since you are an Onmyoji, you are a member of the Prime Minister's Office."
Before he finished speaking, Ashigaru fired the cannon without hesitation.
Qi Xuansu managed to escape again. Seeing that there was no one around, he didn't want to waste time with this ashigaru anymore. He folded the fan in his hand, and a blood hole appeared between the ashigaru's eyebrows, and he fell backwards.
Just when Qi Xuansu was about to leave, something unexpected happened to him. Black energy surged out of the ashigaru's forehead wound, and his head flew away from his body, and he rushed towards Qi Xuansu with his bloody mouth open.
Qi Xuansu only felt the fishy smell hitting his nose and punched him in the air.
The fist surged and hit the man's head directly into a puddle of blood and flesh, scattering in all directions.
Qi Xuansu came to the headless corpse, turned on the "Yin Yang Eyes" and "Qi Watching Technique", and roughly checked it. Combined with the common knowledge of the Onmyoji that he had gained in the past few days, he could roughly determine that the thing just now should be a "flying head"
"Barbarian" is one of many ghosts. It usually possesses the host and drives the human head out of the body while the host is sleeping. Seven days after being possessed by it, the host will turn into withered bones and die.
This Ashigaru has been possessed by Feitouman without knowing it. Even if Qi Xuansu doesn't kill him, he won't live long.
Qi Xuansu said to himself, "Fenglinzhou is really an evil place. The big monsters are dead but not dead, and people can turn into monsters. This is obviously an ominous place."
After that, Qi Xuansu drew the simplest fire charm in the way of an alchemist, burned the corpse to ashes, and moved on.
