Chapter 553 Taira Masakado's Head and Right Hand

Assume that King Xingshi really participated in the Takiyashahime Rebellion, and that today, thousands of years later, King Xingshi still exists in some way.

Then the power of Kifune Myojin's "curse" is likely to be reflected in him.

After all, if you want to exist for thousands of years, you can't just rely on yourself to keep breathing. You must have something to do with the power of ghosts and gods.

"If this is the case, the bones that resurrected Taira Shomon, that is, the curse of Kifune Myojin, may have been controlled by King Xingshi. Even worse, as mentioned earlier, Taira Shomon was also resurrected during the Takiyashahime Rebellion. , if it was also based on the method of 'flesh, spirit and bone', then wouldn't these three elements have been mastered by King Xingshi and others long ago? Yet?"

Kamiyagawa asked.

"One thing. During the rebellion when ghosts besieged Kyoto, the Taira Shomon who appeared as the ghost emperor was not complete. This seemed to be one of the keys to Onmyoji's suppression of the rebellion at that time."

"incomplete?"

"Yes, the head and right arm are missing."

It sounds like "meat" is the key to preventing Taira Shomon's resurrection?

"Is Taira Shomon's head inside the Shouzhong?"

"Actually not." Yusei shook his head, "I already understood it. The remains of Taira Shomon's head have been in Kanda Shrine, and were suppressed under the Nuo formation inside the shrine."

"What about the right hand?"

"Sanjujukgen-do in Kyoto."

Sanjurokgen-do, formally known as Hokke-o-in, is a Buddhist temple. The temple's nickname comes from the pillar room between the 36 pillars that support the temple.

Taira Shomon's head and right hand, one is in Tokyo and the other is in Osaka.

Quite far apart.

Moreover, they were suppressed by free shrines and Buddhist temples.

Kamiyagawa: "Could it be that Taira Shomon's body was divided into many parts and sealed? Are there other body parts... Well, I guess, if it was during the Takiyashahime Rebellion a thousand years ago, , Ping Shomon was resurrected with his head and right hand missing, so the other parts of his body are probably missing?"

"Currently, only the remains of the right hand and head are still under control." Uncle Jiecheng confirmed this conjecture.

Onizuka on the side also spoke at this time, putting everyone's common bad guess on the table: "So, we must be prepared that except for the head and right hand, the rest of Taira Shomon's body has been controlled by King Xingshi? "

There is actually a theory behind the separation of Taira Shomon's body after his death.

The legendary new Huangping general——

"He is decorated with bows and arrows, gathers fierce soldiers as his companions, and fights together as his profession. He looks very different from ordinary people in this world. He is more than seven feet long, his five bodies are made of iron, and his left eye has two pupils."

Seven feet long, in ancient Japan where the average height was very short, he was already at the level of a towering man.

In ancient times, if you wanted to express a person's extraordinary talent, you would always describe him or her as having an appearance that was different from ordinary people.

This is of course related to the fact that people spread word of mouth and use their imagination to depict the deeds of these capable people and strangers.

Maybe the people at that time simply believed that powerful people were different from ordinary people, even if they looked different.

It's unusual at first glance.

"Double pupils" is also considered a classic, expressing one of the factors that distinguishes the difference between capable people and ordinary people.

It is unknown whether Taira Shomon has two pupils in his left eye. But in the records in the countermeasures room, Jiangmen's body is as hard as iron and invulnerable, which may be true.

Because according to existing records, Taira Shomon was resurrected during the Takiyashahime Rebellion, and the initial attacks on him by the Onmyoji and the samurai were not effective at all.

Fortunately, Jiangmen's body was not complete, with two flaws on his neck and right shoulder exposed, so he was finally given an opportunity to take advantage of it.

There are many folklores about Heijingmon. In addition to the legend of ghosts, there are also stories such as "Shadow Warrior" and "Bronze Head and Iron Bone". According to legend——

The mother of Shomon is actually not a human being, but a female serpent who has lived in Soma County of Shimo-sou Province for a long time.

In Japanese local legends, big snakes usually also represent dragons.

Therefore, there is also a saying that Jiangmen’s biological mother is the Dragon God.

On the third day after giving birth to General, the snake transformed back into its original form at night and licked General's entire body with its tongue. The demonic power was attached to Jiangmen through the saliva on Nobuko, giving him a body as hard and indestructible as steel.

However, there was only one place that he didn't lick, and that was the spot between Jiang Men's eyebrows. It is also said that it is the temple. In addition, there are also legends about the right eye or the Yintang above the eyebrow.

In short, this unlicked part becomes a fatal point similar to the "Achilles' heel".

Since there is such a life gate, the death of Jiangmen is naturally related to it.

It is said that Ping Zhenmori, who was attacking Taira Shomon at that time, took advantage of the wind and hit Shogun's vital point between his eyebrows with one arrow.

After being hit by an arrow and falling from his horse, Taira Shomon was stabbed in the head by Fujiwara Hidego who was driven forward later.

This legend of "bronze-headed iron-bone brow-centered gate", Kamiya had also looked up on the Internet a few days ago after knowing that Yu Fangxiang and Heping Jiangmen might be related.

But as for folk legends, the various versions of stories circulated are not uniform and cannot be regarded as reality.

Moreover, now that he knows more about the situation, Kamiyagawa has more insights into this legend.

Maybe...

This story is not about the general who is still alive.

It was the Oni Emperor Taira Shomon who came back from the dead during the Takiyashahime Rebellion.

It is known that the resurrection of Taira Shomon may be related to Kibune Myojin, and Kifune Myojin is the god of dragons and snakes.

The Ghost King's body is invulnerable to water and fire, which is probably due to the power given by the Dragon God.

As for the Mingmen, it was the connection between the missing right arm and the head.

The relevant information may have been spread on the streets during the Heian period, and it was combined with Taira Shomon's life, and gradually evolved into the "Achilles' Heel" story that is heard today.

We discussed Ping Jiangmen’s “meat” for a while.

Kamiyagawa: "So, if Heishangmon's 'flesh' is completely controlled by King Xingshi, the enemy we have to face is likely to be an unbeatable ghost among ghosts?"

"Yes, at least it's difficult to hurt him with ordinary means." Jiecheng Zhenjianyou agreed with this statement.

"Usual method."

Kamiya sat back slightly in his chair.

I don’t know if Onikiri can cut it.

Kamiyagawa: "If King Xingshi really wants to resurrect Tairashoumon, then he will definitely take action against Kanda Shrine and Sanjukgendo Hall? Are we going to wait for him to come?"

Kisege Shinkensuke: "It seems that in order to prevent the resurrection of Taira Shomon, who has no weaknesses. In addition to finding the location of King Koushi, we also need to guard these two shrines and temples at the same time. I will apply to the higher-ups for manpower arrangements now."

"Isn't it a bit too passive to just guard him? Is it possible to destroy Hei Shomon's head and right arm? Although I can guess that the remains of the body can be preserved for thousands of years, so it is definitely not easy to destroy."

"I don't know if the Onmyoji a long time ago tried to destroy the corpse of Shomon. Anyway, judging from the results, they finally chose to seal it with a Nuo formation. However, if you really want to try to destroy the corpse of Shomon, maybe you can Try it?”

"me?"

"If I have to say it, there is no other choice besides you." Jiecheng said in a helpless tone.

"Indeed." Onizuka poked his chin with the end of the ball pen in his hand and nodded in agreement, "But is it possible? I mean it is possible. Taira Shomon's body was sealed under the Nuo formation. If more people are sent to guard it, There is no problem. But if we break the seal and try to destroy it, it will play into King Xingshi’s will. For example, the moment the seal is broken, the corpse will be obtained by King Xingshi in some way.”

Kamiyagawa:……

Jiecheng Zhenjianyou:...

Well, the little witch’s guess is not completely unreasonable.

King Xingshi has probably participated in the resurrection of Pingshoumon once, and now for the second time, who knows what kind of back-up plan he has?

The more aggressive approach was to directly try to destroy Pingshoumon's head and right hand.

Or stay the same to cope with the ever-changing situation and just wait and see.

It is difficult to say which of these two ideas is absolutely correct.

After discussing for a while, Uncle Yui temporarily ended the video conference: "In short, first strengthen the defensive strength of Kanda Shrine and Sanjujugendo. After that, whether you want to continue to guard or try to destroy, you have to ask me first Boy, you’ve been staying at Kanda Shrine for a while.”

"knew."

Kamiya has no objection to this.

He is the strongest fighter in the countermeasures room.

Currently, Jiangmen's head and the remains of his right hand are still under control. The heads contained resentment, and had a terrifying record of flying from Kyoto to Kanto to cause trouble.

If King Xingshi wants to resurrect the Ghost King, and he has the experience of the last failure, the head must be crucial.

Whether it is to strengthen the guard or to destroy it, Kamiyagawa must be present to make people feel at ease.

Another strong spiritual exterminator must be arranged to guard the Sanjujukgendo Hall.

Originally, the current goddess of destiny, Grandma Jiang Gu, was a good candidate, but since the last crusade against the Breeder and the God of Plague, Grandma Gu had presided over the Great Nuo Formation, and subsequently was responsible for the crusade against Meng Nan, her status has not been the same. very good.

After all, he is old.

So this year, Onizuka and Tomi Nei were the main ones responsible for the affairs at Juqiong Shrine.

Uncle Jiecheng is considering arranging another partner with similar strength to Granny Gu.

There are only a handful of such candidates in the strategy room.

This also includes Shikigami Rippuchi Girl who was promoted to Aragami herself.

In the end, at the Sanryokugendo Hall, the true swordsman was entrusted to Master Zuxia, a highly respected old Buddhist master who was also a very powerful spiritual master.

Master Ancestor is probably in his sixties and is still in good health.

He had participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Fairy Lady before.

As for forming a true sword to protect himself, of course he will not be idle. If he wanted to start investigating King Xingshi, it would be best to find him out directly.

In the investigation work, the personnel previously dispatched to Kyoto will participate, and the little miko Onizuka will also bring people from Juqiong Shrine to cooperate.

Onitsuka, Tomi Nie and others can also be regarded as the mainstays of the new generation of spiritual masters in the industry. The shikigami themselves are formed at the level of Arakami, and with their cooperation, they are a very good head fighting force.

In order to deal with the ghost among ghosts, Ping Jiangmen, the spiritual masters were not careless, and the elites from all sides quickly took action.

…

Kamiya returned to Tokyo from Kyoto that day, went home to pack for a while, and then went to Kanda Shrine.

Because I felt that I would be staying at Kanda Shrine for a long time, and the matter of King Koushi and Hei Shomon might bring about some unknown danger. You know, Kanda Shrine is located in Chiyoda District, Tokyo, so what he called tidying up was actually arranging the family members.

Just vacate your home.

Kaitan who did not participate in the battle, such as Kukucho and Xiaowu, were all sent to the safe zone of the other world by the hearse group.

Even Wenche Yaofei, who had work to do, was sent in by Kamiya Kawa with a firm attitude.

There can be trouble at work, anyway, the release date of "Miss Mary" has not been officially determined yet.

But Xiaowenche's safety cannot be in trouble.

It is hard to find a Kaitan as capable as her.

Paradise, hotel, sea country, the Kaitan at home can stay anywhere they want.

There are Nanajin Gozen, Rabbit Maru, Kanihime and Isohime in the world, and it is easy for them to take care of Kamiya's family.

Among the Kaitan who entered the other world, only Xiaowu did not have the right to choose a temporary residence on her own. She was directly arranged to go to the Live Fish Hotel because there was a room for her there.

Kamiya emptied Wu's old house from the Akihabara other world last time. Except for a computer selected for the writer, all other things were put in the hotel.

This is also in my plan.

Wu, even if you enter the hotel, you can't forget your work!

Although there are no dedicated live broadcast tools in those electronic devices in the other world.

But this level of difficulty, the smart Xiao Wu will definitely find a way to overcome it.

She is Xiao Wu who knows everything!

For example, use the other world equipment to control the computer at home in reality, remote live broadcast and so on.

Wu is an electronic ghost story with great power on the Internet, no problem.

Later, Wen Che Yao Fei also went to the hotel.

The reason is also that there are Xiao Wu's electronic devices there.

With the assistance of Wu, Wen Che can choose the time to communicate with his studio employees to a certain extent.

Although she was confined by her master, she still couldn't let go of her work...

She is really dedicated.

The safety of the ghost stories is all guaranteed, and the only thing left is the apprentice Shikanoya who can't enter the other world.

Kamiya chose to take Xiaolu directly to Kanda Shrine.

Usually let Yasakana stay by her side, and try not to leave her sight. Once something happens, let Karu Tengu pull Xiaolu into the Ikki fight space, and Yasakana stays to help fight.

Although Tengu is the only Shikigami who has not yet become a wild god, his one-hit strike ability is really useful.

It can attack when advancing and defend when retreating.

Especially when used to protect specific targets, Kamiya would like to say that Tengu's protection ability is the strongest.

With such an arrangement, Xiaolu's safety can also be guaranteed.

The last time she fell into Matsuzawa must not happen again.

Anyway, before Xiaolu grows up to be able to stand on his own, Kamiya's desire to protect her will probably always be excessive.

After all, compared with two years ago, Kamiya Kawa is no longer the only person in the household registration book who is not afraid of anything.

He wants to protect a lot more people.

But fortunately, his strength is growing very fast, and Changshi's power management is also thriving.

Strong enough to protect the people he cares about.

This feeling is not bad.
