Chapter 568: Ancient Seeker
Kyoto has a long history, and the Tenbakufu is also located in it.
At this moment, it is the beginning of winter, and the cold north wind is whistling by, bringing with it a biting chill, and snowflakes are falling with the wind.
The establishment of Kyoto can be traced back to the period when Nichiren God first established the Tenshogunate.
It was planned and built by his subordinate Daming Gang Murhara himself as a dedication to the gods.
The city's streets are laid out in an orderly manner, criss-crossing like a giant chessboard, and the entire city presents a regular rectangle.
What’s even more special is that this is the residence of “His Majesty Amaterasu”.
Therefore, the architectural style of Kyoto City is deeply influenced by Buddhism, and there is a strong Buddhist atmosphere everywhere.
Walking around the streets of Kyoto City, you can see stone tablets carved in Sanskrit in many places.
The contents on these stone tablets all praise the merits of His Majesty Amaterasu.
On both sides of the road in early winter, the cherry blossoms are still in full bloom and luxuriantly blooming.
In addition, there are several well-designed gardens scattered throughout Kyoto.
The small bridges, flowing water, green trees and red flowers in these gardens are all carefully cared for by Onmyoji.
It ensures that the scenery here is like spring all year round, and the flowers are blooming and will never wither due to the change of seasons.
In the entire city of Kyoto, if you want to say which place is the most conspicuous, it is undoubtedly the "Dainichi Imperial Palace".
This towering building is not only the residence of Nichiren God, it is also regarded as the most sacred and inviolable holy place in the entire Yingzhou world.
If you can stand on the top of Dainichi Imperial Palace, you will have a panoramic view of the entire Kyoto city.
Those who are lucky enough to live in Kyoto are almost all the most devout believers of Nichiren God.
They were deeply taught by the god and had a deep bond of faith with Nichiren.
At the same time, high-level cronies who hold important positions in the Tenshogunate also live here.
However, in recent years, due to the fact that Lord Nichiren has fallen into unpredictable natural obstacles, and the entire Yingzhou world is in a state of turmoil,
This situation makes the city of Kyoto, which was supposed to be bustling and bustling, now seem unusually quiet, even a little lonely.
The streets are less hustle and bustle in the past, making people feel unusually quiet.
Except for some Onmyoji who still stick to the city and perform their tasks because of their responsibilities,
The generals and daimyo in the Tenshogunate have all gone out to quell rebellions in various places.
Even though Lord Nichiren is now in deep sleep, anyone with a slightly higher level of cultivation can clearly feel that,
Within the towering Imperial Palace, there is still an elusive aura exuding.
This breath seemed to tell them that Lord Nichiren had not left.
He is just sleeping and will wake up one day.
This is also the case so far, whether it is Tianmufu, Jingshenfu or Lingshou Division,
These organizations have remained stable and have not disbanded or become an important cause of rebellion.
Xie Que is currently walking on the streets of Kyoto,
He observed the onmyojis hurriedly walking on both sides of the street. They were all retainers of important figures in the Ten Shogunate.
Due to their responsibilities, they must stay in Kyoto and be responsible for various tedious and important tasks, and cannot leave at will.
Each of these Onmyoji masters has a good level of cultivation.
However, in the city of Kyoto, their work is often unassuming, and it can even be said that they are overqualified for their use.
Just like Dayun, an Onmyoji who has reached the sixth level of strength, if he were outside Kyoto City, he would almost certainly be revered as a great name.
However, in the city of Kyoto, he is just an ordinary gardener, responsible for pruning and maintaining the cherry blossom trees on both sides of the road day after day.
At this moment, Xie Que unleashed his martial arts will, sweeping across the entire Kyoto city without concealment, taking in every corner of the city.
With his current strength, looking at the entire Yingzhou world, except for Nichiren God Lord who is trapped in a natural barrier,
Already unrivaled, he has become the pinnacle existence in this world.
So he naturally had no scruples.
Suddenly, a petite figure appeared in Xie Que's sight.
She was an extremely coquettish woman, her red lips were so vivid and shocking.
She was wearing a gorgeous kimono, with wooden clogs under her feet, but she didn't look clumsy at all when she walked.
Although her steps seemed light, her speed was extremely fast. In just a few steps, she had already covered a hundred meters.
Xie Que looked at the woman who suddenly appeared and asked with a smile: "Are you Miss Jiezi?"
The woman nodded slightly, acquiescing to her identity.
She walked to Xie Que's side and stood side by side with him.
Then, she also turned around and stared with Xie Que at the towering Imperial Palace of the Sun, which almost reached into the sky.
There seemed to be a hint of trance in Jiezi's eyes, as if he was remembering something, or looking forward to something.
Xie Que didn't bother her, nor did he ask any questions.
After a long time, Mustard Zi finally broke the silence softly:
"Sir, are you not a native of Yingzhou?"
Xie Que was not surprised by this. After all, his recent rise was indeed astonishing, and it would inevitably attract attention and speculation from the outside world.
But he was not afraid of it;
Because he knows that with his current strength, he is enough to deal with any crisis that may arise.
He did not directly answer Mustard Seed's question, but chose a more implicit way to express his identity.
He said calmly:
"Yingzhou, this is part of the Earthly Immortal Realm, so whether I am a Yingzhou native or not actually doesn't mean much."
These remarks neither admitted nor denied Mustard Seed's speculation, but they made people think deeply.
Xie Que has already given his answer. As for how Jiazizi will interpret it, that is beyond his control.
After hearing Xie Que's answer, Jiezi's expression did not change much.
He just nodded slightly to express his understanding:
"Sir, your identity is indeed what I expected."
Then, she continued:
"However, a person with such ability as Mr. should not be unknown in the world..."
"Is it because of Lord Nichiren's retirement that you, sir, chose to be born at this time?"
Xie Que instantly understood what Muster Zi meant. It turned out that she had already guessed about her identity.
It's just that she mistook herself for an ancient existence that had survived since the time of the Earthly Immortal Realm, and happened to collide with what she was saying now.
And because of the intimidating power of Lord Nichiren, he chose to endure for many years.
But he had no intention of correcting it. After all, such a misunderstanding of identity was not harmful to him.
Moreover, from this woman's words, it can be felt that she seems to have come from the earthly immortal world and has gone through endless vicissitudes of time.
Xie Que was keenly aware that although this woman's aura was quite deep,
But her cultivation realm seems to be only the one-god realm, and she is far from reaching the peak of the divine realm, let alone comprehending the long river of time at that time.
Xie Que naturally had a strong interest in such an ancient being that spanned millions of years of history.
Xie Que nodded slightly in response to her curiosity:
"Miss Mustard Seed, haven't you also experienced the same long years as me?"
Jie Zi gently pushed back the hair on his forehead, turned around gracefully, looked at Xie Que's face and said:
"I'm not the same as you. I haven't lived in the shadows for as long as you, but I don't dare to stand up and resist."
Xie Que didn't argue too much.
After Mustard Zi finished speaking, he continued to ask:
"Mr. Kurokawa, after so many years, have you ever thought that since you have such great strength, why don't you choose to join His Majesty Amaterasu in exchange for resources?"
Xie Que replied succinctly: "I have never had such an idea."
After hearing this, Jiezi showed a slight smile on his face, and the two pear dimples on his cheeks were looming, adding a bit of cuteness and playfulness.
She said gently: "Since Mr. Kurokawa has no favorable impression of His Majesty Amaterasu, then we can be regarded as fellow-minded people."
Immediately afterwards, Mustard Zi further elaborated:
"Our Pantheon has stood majestically on the four islands of Kyushu since the time of the Earth Immortal Realm, and has gone through countless winds, rains and changes."
"If monk Nichiren hadn't been lucky enough to understand the secret of Zhou Guang, how could we be forced to live in his shadow and be controlled by others everywhere."
"If a being with outstanding strength like Mr. can join our Pantheon, we will definitely treat you with the highest respect and give you the title of Great God."
Having said this, Jiezi finally extended an olive branch to Xie Que.
In the myths and legends of Yingzhou, the Great God is the supreme being and enjoys the most noble status.
The so-called His Majesty Amaterasu is such a being who is revered as the Great Royal God.
However, within the Pantheon, those who have been given this honor privately,
As far as Xie Que knew, there were seven or eight of them.
In Xie Que's opinion, such a title has lost its original value and meaning.
Jiazi seemed to sense Xie Que's disdain for the title, so she changed the subject and tried to attract him in another way:
"Sir, since he has experienced such a long time, he must have extensive knowledge. So, you might as well guess where I come from?"
At this moment, Xie Que finally turned around and looked directly at Mustard Seed.
Jiezi spoke slowly and asked, "I wonder if sir, have you ever heard of the ancient book 'Susu Destiny Book'?"
Xie Que answered frankly: "This is indeed the first time I have heard of this name."
Jiezi explained: "This is actually a secret technique mastered by ancient warriors. I was lucky enough to receive this inheritance by chance."
Xie Que knew something about Wangqishi.
This is an extremely mysterious group, they can observe luck,
The person below can calculate the blessings and misfortunes of a person's marriage, the person above can discern the fortune of a country, and can even touch the elusive and elusive destiny.
In the Earthly Immortal Realm, every spiritual leader is highly respected and often becomes the honored guest of various major sects.
Behind the future direction and major decisions of sects and aristocratic families, there is often the guidance and influence of these hopefuls.
However, with the division of the Earthly Immortal World, these fortune-tellers seemed to have disappeared from the world, and no trace could be found anymore.
At this moment, Xie Que couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard Jiezi mention her identity.
If Mustard Zi's cultivation can reach the realm of creation, then he might still be a little afraid.
After all, the potential and power of a master of creation who can understand the past, coupled with a fortune teller who can predict the future, is immeasurable.
But unfortunately, Jiazi's cultivation level is not outstanding, he is just an ordinary seventh-level monk.
Even though she claimed to be a fortune teller, Xie Que didn't care too much.
At the same time, he also understood the real reason why the Pantheon was able to escape encirclement and suppression repeatedly.
This was not only because they were hiding in distant overseas, but more importantly, Mustard used her fortune-telling and fortune-telling skills to help them accurately avoid disasters again and again.
This also explains why the Pantheon can stand firm in such a turbulent environment.
Mustard continued: "Mr. Kurokawa, I observed the sky a few days ago at night, and it cost a million years of life..."
"The fortune of this shogunate... I'm afraid it can only last for twenty years."
There was a trace of reminiscence in her eyes: "Before the earthly immortal world was divided, the land of Yingzhou was jointly ruled by the three noble gods Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo."
"But I never thought that after the breakthrough, the monk Nichiren actually killed the other two majesties and occupied the orthodoxy of Yingzhou alone."
Xie Que was a little surprised. This seemed to be completely different from what he learned from the classics he got from Penglai Fairy Island.
In the Penglai records obtained by Xie Que, the Three Noble Gods were just legends, not realities.
And Nichiren Monk was also a low-key person, so it shouldn't be like this.
So at this moment, Xie Que was only half-believing and half-doubting what Jiezi said.
As for the truth, he still needed to find out for himself.
Jiezi continued: "After so many years, the orthodox name of Nichiren Monk has also been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the people of Yingzhou have gradually forgotten the other two great gods. This is also the fundamental source of Nichiren Monk's destiny."
Hearing this, Xie Que immediately looked up to Jiezi in his heart.
The so-called "destiny" in his mouth should be the place where the Tianxin Seal is.
But he didn't expect that this fortune-teller could even see this.
Jiezi then glanced at Xie Que: "But the luck of Tianmu Mansion is about to end, and the luck of Monk Rilian should also end."
"I think you are extraordinary, maybe you will get luck in the future."
Xie Que was slightly shocked, but there was no expression on his face: "Miss Jiezi, you are joking."
Jiezi smiled: "When there is great luck in the sky, there must be hope. The great luck that you have revealed since you were born may indeed be the will of heaven, and you should have great luck in the future!"
Xie Que just smiled and A voice: "Amaterasu is a god with amazing power, and she is also a top figure who has entered the world of destiny. Since she is still alive, how can the will of heaven favor others?"
Speaking of this question, Mustard Seed did not seem to avoid it at all: "Nichiren monk has supported the world of Yingzhou for 300,000 years, and now it has become a chaotic state for only three years."
"Even if Nichiren monk has entered the world of destiny, how can he be immortal forever?"
Xie Que raised his eyebrows immediately: "It seems that your Pantheon is confident that you can deal with Nichiren monk?" (End of this chapter)
