Chapter 647 Mr. Sakai, please die
There are still several manuscripts of Toshiya Sakai newly found by Onitsuka Kiriho.
After Mr. Sakai entered Tsuchimikado Village, he probably recorded what he saw and heard with a research mentality, and also added some of his own essays.
From this level, channeling a serious and thoughtful folklorist would be huge in helping Onizuka understand the situation in Tsuchimikado Village.
[Today I met with Mr. Yasifuku Tsuchimikado, the head of Tsuchimikado’s family. This energetic and friendly old man is very supportive of my research activities in the village, but only reminded me not to interfere with the normal life of the villagers. ]
[The Tsuchimikado family suggested that I change my residence and let me live temporarily with the Kawai family. ]
[In addition to the Tsuchimikado family, Tachibana, Kawai, and Takehara are also the major families in this village, and they are all branches of Tsuchimikado. The Tsuchimikado family is in charge of the village's ritual activities, and the other three families also have their duties. The Kawai family is responsible for keeping the ancient books and materials in the village. ]
[I asked the head of the Kawai family to borrow materials, and he agreed without objection at all. Although it is a bit strange, it is a good thing for me to be able to check the ancient books and information here with my own eyes. ]
[I heard that this village still has the secret method of Onmyodo inherited from the great Onmyoji Abe Seimei. However, such things are only kept in the Tsuchimikado family. What the Kawai family keeps is only the data recording the history of the village. It's a pity. If possible, I would also like to see what the secret techniques left by the Great Onmyoji during the Heian period are like. ]
Wow.
The paper was flipped and Onizuka continued to read the contents of the manuscript.
"It seems that Sakai Etoshi also stayed at Kawai's house for many days. He looked through the documents here and made very careful summaries and records. The few scraps of manuscripts I obtained before should be part of the subsequent research records."
There are so many books in the Kawai family. It would take an unknown amount of time for the little miko to investigate them carefully.
Maybe a few days won’t be enough.
But fortunately, predecessors have already done this work. During the time that Sakai Etoshi stayed at the Kawai family, he made a summary of a large amount of literature here.
By reading his manuscript notes, you can extract important information in a "fast-food style".
What else can I say.
Thanks to the folklorist.
[Amado Bronze Mirror]
[According to legend, the precious mirror held by Amaterasu, the sister of the great god Amaterasu, was later given to Amaterasu. In the past, when the goddess Amaterasu was performing a shamanic dance at Amado Rock, she hung this mirror on her chest to reflect the radiance of the sun god and guide Amaterasu to appear in Amado Rock. ]
[Now the Tianhu bronze mirror is used to stabilize the stone gate. ]
[According to book records. In the Tsuchimikado Village, in addition to the Amado Bronze Mirror, there is another treasure originating from the childish goddess, which is kept by the successive heads of the Tsuchimikan family. ]
[Amado Rock]
[...Tian Tiannu, who had lost everything, returned to the former Amado Rock, and the god committed suicide. His body shattered into pieces, and divine blood flowed to the earth like a surge. This is how to cut off...]
[However, the resentment of the two gods has persisted in Amado Rock for a long time, forming a miasma that cannot be eliminated. ]
[The crevice leading to Amado Rock is located behind the stone gate guarded by the Tsuchimikado family during their time, and is stabilized and blocked by the Amado Bronze Mirror. The pain and resentment from the gods have washed away the seal over the years, and there is a risk of breaking through the shackles at any time. ]
[The Tsuchimikado clan calls the danger hidden deep in Amado Rock "Yoko". If night falls, Tsuchimikado Village, even Kyoto, and even the entire Kansai region will be affected and turned into a barren land. ]
[Amado Shaman Festival]
[...The selected miko will undergo a "body-cutting ceremony". The hands and feet are bound with red ropes, and the flesh and blood are slowly cut off during the sacrifice, reflecting the fate of the Tenden girl at Amado Rock. And cooperate with the sacrifices to alleviate the resentment and pain of the gods in this way, ensuring that the night seal is stable...]
[Tsuchimikado]
[After the Heian Era, the world of ghosts and ghosts was separated from the human world, and the spiritual power of the world withered. By the fifth generation of Abe Seimei's descendants, the onmyoji in the clan could no longer consolidate the Amado Shimon with onmyoji techniques. This is when the bloody Tendo Shaman Festival was born. ]
[The head of the Abe family who developed this method hopes that future generations with mediocre qualifications can also use this method to seal the space gap leading to Amado Rock. ]
[Moreover, the witch ritual itself is too evil and contrary to human ethics. At that time, the head of the Abe family felt that he was ashamed of his ancestor Abe Seimei, so he changed the family name to the Tsuchimikado clan. It is recorded in the book: "This move betrays the ancestors, and makes it shameful to bear the surname of the ancestors again.\
