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 Kibune 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' that time, wouldn't these three elements have been mastered by King Xingshi and others long ago? The information in the countermeasures room really does not have more detailed records in this regard.
Yet?"
Kamiyagawa asked.
"One thing. During the rebellion when the ghosts besieged Kyoto, the Taira Shomon who appeared as the ghost emperor was not complete. This seemed to be one of the keys to the 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 have 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.
It's quite far apart.
And each is suppressed by free shrines and Buddhist temples.
Kamiyagawa: "Could it be said that Taira Shomon's corpse was divided into many parts and sealed? Are there other body parts... Well, I guess, if it was during the Takiyashime Rebellion a thousand years ago
, Ping Shomon was resurrected with his head and right hand missing. Then the other parts of his body are probably missing, right?"
"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, he gathers fierce soldiers as his companions, and his profession is to fight together. He looks very different from ordinary people. 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 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 something that looks unusual at first glance.
"Double pupils" is also a very classic expression, one of the factors that expresses the difference in appearance between capable people and ordinary people.
It is unknown whether Taira Shomon has two pupils in his left eye. However, according to the records in the Countermeasures Room, Shomon'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 ineffective at all.
Thanks to Jiangmen's incomplete body, with his neck and right shoulder exposed, he was finally given the opportunity to take advantage of it.
There are many folk legends about Heishōmon. In addition to the legend of the resentful spirit, there are also stories such as "Shadow Warrior" and "Bronze Head and Iron Bone". According to legend——
Shomon's mother is not actually a human being, but a female serpent who has lived in Soma County of Shimo-sou Province for a long time.
In Japanese folk 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 Shomon, the big snake transformed back into its original form at night and licked Shomon's whole body with his tongue. The saliva on Nobuko's body was stained by the demonic power attached to Shomon, giving him steel.
An indestructible body.
However, there was only one place that was not licked, and that was the area between Jiangmen's eyebrows. Some say it was the temple. In addition, there are also legends about the right eye or the Yintang area above the eyebrows.
In short, this unlicked part becomes a fatal injury similar to "Achilles' heel".
Since there is such a life gate, the death of Jiangmen is naturally related to it.
It is said that Ping Zhensheng, who was attacking Ping Jiangmen at that time, took advantage of the wind and hit the vital point between Ping Jiangmen's eyebrows with one arrow.
Taira Shomon, who was hit by an arrow and fell from his horse, 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 he knew 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 Demon 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 fire and water, 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 spread to the streets during the Heian period, and 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 Taira Shomon's 'flesh' is completely controlled by King Xingshi, the enemy we have to face is likely to be an unbeatable ghost among ghosts?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yes, at least it is difficult to hurt him with ordinary means." Jiecheng Zhenjianyou agreed with this statement.
"Usual method."
Kamiya, who was sitting in the chair, leaned back slightly.
I don’t know if Onikiri can cut it.
Kamiyagawa: "If King Xingshi really wants to resurrect Taira Shomon, then he will definitely take action against Kanda Shrine and Sanjukgendo Hall? Are we going to wait for him to come?"
Kisei 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 it? Is it possible to destroy Heishangmon'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 that easy to destroy."
"I don't know if the Onmyoji a long time ago tried to destroy Heishangmon's corpse. Anyway, judging from the results, they finally chose to seal it with a Nuo formation. However, if you really want to try to destroy Shomon's corpse, maybe you can
Try it?"
"me?"
"If I have to say it, there is no other choice besides you." Qi Cheng 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, then we are playing into King Xingshi’s plan? For example, the moment the seal is unlocked, 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 Heijiangmon once, and now for the second time, who knows what kind of back-up plan he has?
To be more aggressive, try to destroy Hei Shomon's head and right hand directly.
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
