Chapter 510 Onmyoji, Abe Seimei
At nine o'clock in the morning, we got on the bus to Kyoto.
Along the way, Li Mazi and Ruxue, who were sitting in the back row, were talking and laughing, and the quarrels made me unable to concentrate on thinking about things. I reminded them several times to pay attention to their quality and not to embarrass the Chinese because it was an early bus and many people were sleeping on the bus.
Ruxue pouted and said, "There is no sign in the car that can't be spoken, so why don't you talk?"
"Didn't you see many office workers sleeping?" I said.
"He slept with him, and I said mine, but it didn't affect..."
At this time, Xiao Gao quickly set up a smooth move, saying that Japan and China's national conditions were different. The public places here were quieter, and it was better to whisper softly, and Ruxue was a little more restrained.
I feel that the gap between Japan and China is indeed quite big. For example, when you get in the car, the Japanese are particularly orderly and garbage sorting is also very good. Although it has been advocated in China, everyone has no awareness at all. For example, Japan's public toilets are very clean, while Chinese toilets are stenchy and unbearable.
In my understanding, Japan has always been a nation with savage spirit in its bones. All kinds of perverted news are common, but when I travel here, I found that their education is actually very good.
China has a long history and vast wealth. After the reform and opening up, the economy has taken off rapidly, but getting rich too fast has its drawbacks. Everyone has a lot of wallets, but their quality cannot keep up. I think some aspects should be learned from this neighboring country!
My thoughts went back to the incident last night. Saito was a small leader who used loan sharks. The bald uncle might have owed a huge loan shark. He accidentally met a monster and asked him to help him get it done.
However, the vixen looked quite powerful, how could it succumb to an ordinary person?
At this time, there was a bento sold on the car. I was a little hungry and was about to buy one. Xiao Gao advised me not to buy it, so I would get off the car later and eat Kaiseki cuisine.
It was only 40 kilometers from Osaka to Kyoto, and it was within an hour. After we got off the bus, we still looked for a taxi and booked a hotel. We arrived in the city at noon and had lunch at a well-known restaurant.
Japanese cuisine is very exquisite, but for example, what is strange is that they only pay attention to "color, fragrance, and meaning", which is the color, aroma and artistic conception of the dishes... What the hell is artistic conception?
Although Kaiseki cuisine tastes good, I think it is still not as good as the Chinese spicy hotpot, which is far inferior.
After dinner, we walked on the street. Xiao Gao was a tour guide for us. He said that Kyoto is an ancient city with a long history, with many temples, shrines and cultural sites. The pattern of this city was built imitating the Chang'an City of China. In the past period, it has been the capital of Japan. It has gone through several dynasties and generations, and its status in Japan is roughly equivalent to that of Nanjing, China.
I feel that the atmosphere in Kyoto is completely different from that in Osaka. Ancient buildings can be seen everywhere. People's life pace is also very slow and leisurely. The roads are very narrow, and there are few buildings with steel and concrete. They are completely different from a modern city.
Yin Xinyue said: "This place is so good. I really want to come here to spend my old age."
Xiao Gao said: "Immigration to Japan is quite troublesome. Not only is the review complicated, but you have to change your Japanese name after you come..."
Ruxue laughed and said, "You have to be named Japanese. Sister Yin, you might as well call it Yamamoto Shinko and your brother-in-law named Tanaka Kyurin."
"It sounds so ugly! I don't want to immigrate to Japan." I shook my head.
Ruxue soon discovered something fun. At the entrance of a theater, a handsome guy in ancient costume was delivering flyers there. It was like a cosplay. She ran over and took a photo with the handsome guy in ancient costume, and brought back a flyer.
"What is it written on it?" Ruxue pointed to the flyer and asked Xiao Gao.
"It seems to be playing Abe Harumaki's play," Xiao Gao translated.
"Isn't Abe Harumaki the most famous Onmyoji in Japan?" I asked.
"Yes, Abe Seimei is the greatest Onmyoji in Japan. She subdued countless demons and demons during her lifetime, leaving behind many moving legends. It is said that Abe Seimei's mother is a nine-tailed fox." Xiao Gao nodded.
"Why do Japanese people like vixen so much?" Ruxue asked.
"In Japan, foxes are divided into family foxes, wild foxes, fantasy foxes, heavenly foxes, etc. Among them, fantasy foxes are gods who protect the fields for farmers in folklore. Just like the land gods in China, they are particularly respected. The heavenly foxes are close to the gods, and only in front of Tamamoma can be called heavenly foxes." Xiao Gao explained.
"Aren't Tamamomae the Chinese Daji?" I asked.
Xiao Gao told us that there is indeed a legend. After the Battle of the Investiture of Gods, Xiqi's army overthrew the brutal rule of the Shang Dynasty.
In order to escape Jiang Ziya's pursuit, the fox demon Daji escaped to Japan, transformed into the beautiful Tamamomae, bewitched the Japanese emperor at that time, and continued to be his own princess.
Under Tamamomaki's instigation, the emperor ignored the government affairs all day long, just eating, drinking, having fun, and watching the beauties dance. Finally, the ministers began to doubt, so they invited Onmyoji Abe Haraki to conquer the demons. After experiencing a fierce battle, Tamamomaki was finally killed by Abe Haraki. When he died, he turned his resentment into a killing stone. This killing stone can absorb all the dead souls within a radius of hundreds of miles and use it to help Tamamomaki reshape his body.
Abe Haruka knew that he could not completely eliminate the fox fairy, so he sealed it in a place that no one knew...
Xiao Gao was stunned for a moment when we told him, Ruxue asked, "Are these stories made up?"
Xiao Gao smiled and said, "It's just a legend, and no one has really verified it."
When I turned around, I found that the man in T-shirt was missing. After a long time of fucking, he was standing in front of the small theater, staring at Abe Haraki's poster.
He turned his head and said, "I want to go to the show."
Xiao Gao said that he was acting in Noi Opera, which is a very ancient Japanese drama. Not to mention Chinese people who can't speak Japanese, even he, a Japanese translator, couldn't quite understand it. It was probably equivalent to an American who went to watch Chinese Huangmei Opera, and he must be confused...
I can understand the mood of a T-shirt man. Although his culture is different, Abe Haraki is also his colleague and a god-level figure in this field.
It was rare to see him so interested in something, so I suggested to go with him. Xiao Gao led the others to go shopping, and met up when the show was finished. In the end, everyone agreed.
We bought two tickets and entered the theater, sat down near the stage, and waited for a while. The lights dimmed, and the curtain slowly opened. As soon as the actors wearing masks and kimono came up, the audience applauded together, and then quietly enjoyed it.
The whole performance lasted for two hours. The actors sang and chanted well. The performance was very serene, very charming, and the stage effect was very good. This drama tells the story...
tmd I can't understand a single sentence!!!
After only half an hour of watching, I couldn't stand it anymore. I was so sleepy that my eyelids were fighting, and my ears were filled with babbling birds. However, the man in the T-shirt sat in the dark and was very impressed. I couldn't help but try to calm him down, so I had to keep looking.
Later, I really couldn't hold on anymore, so I poked the man in the T-shirt and asked him if he wanted to go out for some breath.
The man in T-shirt suddenly sat upright, and I asked in surprise: "When did you fall asleep?"
"No, I've been watching."
Such an obvious lie made me and him laugh, and he waved his hand: "Forget it, let's go!"
