Chapter 421: Onmyoji

p

"Let her rest first." Li 9zhou gently pulled the quilt for Yang Yuhuan, and then walked out.

"What's going on?" 1 went out, Li Chongniang, Feng Wenjing, and Zhang Xiaoluo all looked at Li 9zhou strangely.

Why did Yang Yuhuan, who had long died, not die, and why did he appear in this place?

Li 9zhou then told them about the Mawei Post again once.

"Everyone in the world blames Yang Guifei for the Anshi Rebellion, but I am willing to speak out for her. The man's affairs are to be blamed on a woman. No matter how beautiful women are, it is nonsense." Li 9zhou said angrily.

Zhang Xiaoluo nodded constantly, "Yes, how could he blame the imperial concubine?"

Li Chongniang was even more angry than Li 9zhou: "Men is superior to women, and women are inferior. Women still have to bear the faults of men."

Feng Wenjing didn't say anything, but she was even more impressed by Li 9zhou's eyes.

Li 9zhou originally thought that Li Chongniang and Feng Wenjing would blame themselves, and even if they didn't blame them, they would not understand their behavior. However, just now, the few people didn't mean to blame him. As women, Li Chongniang and Feng Wenjing were moved by his idea of ​​equality between men and women.

Li 9zhou turned around and asked Old Man Zhang: "Are there Japanese people in the city?"

Old man Zhang replied: "There are quite a few."

Li 9zhou remembered a sentence: "Tang Dynasty culture is in Japan, and Ming Dynasty culture is in Korea."

The Tang Dynasty was a truly comprehensive and prosperous dynasty. Its influence on Japan was far-reaching. Politically, it imitated the Tang Dynasty to carry out great reforms, abolish slavery, and established 3 provinces and 6 departments. In terms of culture, it created its own texts with reference to Chinese characters, and its architectural style is based on the Tang Dynasty. Even clothes and diet were deeply influenced by the Tang Dynasty.

During the Tang Dynasty, Japan had completed a general rule in terms of regime and economy. At this time, the overall development level of Japan's country was still relatively weak. So how to reverse the embarrassment of facing the sea and being blocked in development, the Japanese looked at the great power of the East, the Tang Dynasty, and the development of Japan's national economy in the Tang Dynasty was inseparable from trade with the Tang Dynasty. The core point of the Tang and Japanese trade was to send the Tang envoys.

The Tang Dynasty had a comprehensive impact on Japan, even in urban construction, Nara City imitated the market model of the Tang capital Chang'an market in the city, divided into two cities, east and west, 51 centimeters in the east, and 313 centimeters in the west; silk fabrics were sold in each city, such as: coarse silk, silk, cotton, silk, etc.; cotton fabrics, such as cloth, cotton, etc.; daily necessities, such as oil, salt, rice, fish, etc.; cultural utensils, such as paper, pen, ink, etc.; other groceries, such as ironware, pottery, firewood, cabinets, brooms, etc.

The government has a special agency, "City Department", to manage and inspect the market, and classify the quality of the goods, and mark the price to make the transaction. The market opens at noon every day and closes the market every day. Nobles, officials, monks and ordinary citizens come to the market to buy the items they need.

Therefore, many Japanese people went to the Tang Dynasty to do business, but most of them were concentrated in Chang'an and Luoyang. There were also many Japanese people in Lingwu, which were unexpected by Li 9zhou.

At this time, Japanese merchants were just small and medium-sized vendors. There were not many Japanese merchants who went to the Tang Dynasty to conduct business activities.

"Do you know anyone?" Li 9zhou asked Old Man Zhang again.

"It doesn't count." Old Man Zhang replied: "I just go shopping often, and I'm a little familiar with it after 1 or 2."

body

"Take me there." Li 9zhou said immediately.

Although Old Man Zhang didn't know why he suddenly mentioned this, he still vaguely felt that Li 9zhou had discovered something, so the two hurriedly rushed to the city.

Come to a shop run by Japanese people.

This store mainly sells some Japanese folding fans, knives, etc. The shopkeeper is a typical Japanese dress and is very enthusiastic.

Because I have lived in the Tang Dynasty for a long time and can speak Chinese.

Knowing that the visitor was an important official of the Tang Dynasty, the shopkeeper did not dare to neglect it. After a brief chat, Li 9zhou said directly: "I came here to ask you about Yin-Yang techniques. I have seen the performance of Onmyoji in your country before, and I admire it very much, so I also want to learn some."

The shopkeeper frowned and said, "I have only heard of the Yin-Yang technique, but I have never seen it. The profession of Onmyoji is passed down from blood. It is either passed down to children or apprentices. If you want to learn it, I am afraid I can't help."

Li 9zhou asked again: "Do you know, who is in Lingwu City, who is in Yin-Yang Technique?"

The shopkeeper replied: "There are only dozens of Japanese people in Lingwu City. I think I know them all, and one of them really understands them."

"Is he the only one who understands?" Li 9zhou thought about it carefully.

The shopkeeper nodded, "There is only one Onmyoji in Lingwu City."

Li 9zhou said: "Can you tell me his address?"

The shopkeeper then took out the paper and pen, wrote the address and handed it to Li 9zhou.

Li 9zhou stood up and thanked him.

The shopkeeper said politely: "It's just a matter of raising one's hands."

Li 9zhou was polite again and went to search for the old man Zhang according to the address.

Japanese Yangji is a monk who originated from the Yin-Yang family in China. He knows how to observe stars, face people, and also knows how to measure directions, know disasters and strange things, seek Feng Shui, and performs sacrifices. Due to modern historical reasons, Onmyoji is no longer common in China. Most Onmyoji are mainly engaged in observing Feng Shui, face people to make a living.

During the Tang Dynasty, due to Japan's defeat in the Battle of Baijiangkou, Japan began to send Tang envoys to China on a large scale to learn the culture of the Central Plains. A number of concepts such as the Yin-Yang Family were introduced to Japan, and Onmyoji began to become increasingly popular in Japan.

Yin-Yang Technique is a combination of the original mantra forbidden paths in Japan. Yin-Yang Technique developed by Shintoism, and has become a unique element in Japanese culture. Unlike China, which is directly dominated by the people, Japan is controlled by the court, and folk Onmyoji is not the mainstream.

When I arrived at the Onmyoji's residence, the door was closed and looked a little weird.

"Do we want to go in?" Old Man Zhang asked Li 9zhou.

Li 9zhou shook his head, "Let's go."

"I'm going back now?"

"Go to the yamen and ask the yamen to arrest people."

Old Man Zhang was quite smart and asked, "Is this Onmyoji related to the Imperial Concubine's disease?"

Li 9zhou smiled and said, "When you arrive at the yamen, you bring someone to arrest me, I will wait in the yamen."

Seeing that he said nothing, Old Man Zhang was confused. The two came to the yamen. Old Man Zhang led a team of people to catch the Onmyoji. Li 9zhou sat in the lobby and ordered people to make a cup of tea and slowly started drinking it.

Lingwu City is not big. In the city, it is difficult to escape under the eyes of the yamen. Moreover, the Onmyoji did not know the situation and was caught off guard. Soon, the person was caught back.

"The person has been brought back and is in prison." Old man Zhang saluted Li 9zhou.
