Chapter 116 The Legend Before Tamamo (3/3)(1/2)
Killing Stone.
It was originally the name of the swear song "Killing Stone".
The romance is the song and dance stage art created by the Muromachi Shogunate era after reform and improvement on the basis of ape music.
There is a great man in the history of Japanese classical operas, Ami.
In the three volumes of "The Legend of the World" by Bird Mountain Shiyan, the "Mist" is a painting of the Killing Stone.
Notes: "The killing stone was on the Nasu Plateau of Shinoya Kingdom. After the old fox died, it was transformed by the resentment, and the poisonous gas was released. Birds, beasts and insects died when they touched it. On the eleventh day of the first lunar month of Hai, Monk Yuanweng broke the pistol with a stick to resolve it."
...
Simply put, a poisonous stone.
A poisonous stone that has been passed down from the Heian era and has the legend of monsters.
The killing stone transformed by the great fox demon after his death.
Who is this big fox demon?
The breadth of the circulating period is not inferior to that of Tengu. In the past thousand years, famous monsters have been mentioned in various historical classics and literary creations.
White-faced golden retriever nine-tailed fox.
Tamamomae.
...
In the Heian era, Tooba Shanghuangyuan.
Such a monster legend is circulating.
Emperor Toba has a favorite concubine, Tamamomae.
He is extremely beautiful, has a wide range of talent and is highly favored.
only.
Tamamo went to the palace to serve, and the emperor became ill, so he summoned the famous Onmyoji at that time and checked in person.
After checking the documents, Abe Taishi looked through the documents and found that Tamamoma was actually a fox who was accustomed to seducing the monarch and disturbing the throne.
Later, the sacrifice method forced the fox demon to reveal its true form in front of Tamamota, and fled in panic. The emperor then recovered without medicine.
Soon, the Emperor ordered Hirota Hirota, and two generals Miura Yoshitsuru led an army of 80,000 to fight against the nine-tailed demon fox, and chased them all the way to the Nasu Plateau of Shino Kingdom, and finally successfully killed Tamamomae.
Although the demon fox died, his resentment did not dissipate. He lived in the stones near the crater and released poisonous gas to continue to poison nearby people and animals. Even the flying insects and birds were not spared.
This is the killing stone.
More than two hundred years later, the Taoist monk Yuan Weng Xinzhao passed by here, used a staff to strike the stone to resolve the resentment in it, and the killing stones were broken into several pieces, and he no longer harmed people.
...
This is the story of Heian era, Emperor Toba, Tamamomae, and Killing Stone.
Monster stories are all made up by people.
What's more, there was the Yin-Yang Lao, an imperial charlatan organization that was serving the royal family.
Why compile it?
This may be related to the times.
...
Emperor Toba's status in Japanese history has been a very embarrassing period.
During his reign, his ancestor, the Emperor Baihe, ruled the country from behind the curtain, and he heard it for three generations.
Emperor Toofeather became Emperor Toofeather.
The abdicated son Emperor Chongde.
Until the time of the White River Emperor was killed.
Emperor Tooba opened a court official, learned from his grandfather, and also took office from behind the curtain to rule, so he truly began to control the power.
The court ruler respects morality, guards, and the three generations of Houbaihe.
I don’t know if it was my grandson’s rebellion or my grandfather’s discomfort in the face of his long periods of oppression.
After Toba, the emperor's founding power, he opposed the old rule of the Shirakawa Emperor. The Shishimen lost power and supported the Mifuku Men's founding Fujiwara Nagashi.
Later, he and Fujiwara Nagashi's daughter got a son, Konoha.
Then he forced Chongde to abdicate his younger brother Koowei.
Two sons, love the younger one?
Of course not.
Emperor Koba is just a tool for Emperor Toba to facilitate the power of the Yuanzheng.
The Guard died after living for more than ten years.
Chongde wanted to restore his throne, but was opposed by Emperor Toba, who had been ordained at Todaiji, and failed.
Finally, Prince Yaren was appointed Emperor Houbaihe.
...
Then there is a plot that you like.
Such a chaotic emperor's regent, inheritance of the throne, and factional suppression resulted in deep resentment.
The Toba Monastery is very fashionable, and the Monastery dies.
Instant chaos.
Emperor Chongde and Emperor Houbaihe broke out in a full-scale conflict, which is the famous Baoyuan Rebellion in history books.
The Boyuan Rebellion sent Japan into the Shogunate era and directly promoted the rise of the samurai class.
It has influenced Japan's Warring States history for hundreds of years.
And the source of all this is the slutty operation of Tooba during the imperial court.
...
Such a character.
During his tenure, the imperial charlatan Yinyangliao compiled a story about attacking the fox demon, and used the death of the fox demon to achieve the royal family and the status of the charlatan in Yinyangliao.
It's a normal operation.
Mysterious fabrication has existed since ancient times.
It has been popular to this day.
...
The killing stone transformed by Tamamo before and after death.
It is said to be on the 'Nasu Plateau of Shimonoku'.
In a modern geographical location, it is Nasu Town, Tochigi Prefecture.
This place is now Nikko National Natural Park.
There is a very famous attraction, which is the Killing Stone.
Real poisonous stone.
Birds, beasts and insects can indeed lead to death.
Of course it is not as exaggerated as the legend.
This thing can now be explained by science.
Simply put, it is toxic sulfides of volcanic rocks.
Inappropriate contact is equivalent to holding a non-desulfurized coal stove every day to suck it hard. How can something happen?
...
Of course, it is OK to observe properly.
Now in Nikko National Park, Lifestone is a very famous tourist attraction.
You see, folklore can also promote the development of local tourism.
The experience of a scumbag, a lie, was exposed at that time, and it was a mistake. If it was passed down for a hundred years, even if it was exposed again, it would be a legend.
...
"What will the sermon seeking the killing stone?"
Dr. Jiutou asked.
"Where rumors gather, ghosts and gods will inevitably arise."
Hugo said.
