I set off the Night Parade of Hundred Demons in Tokyo

"Abe Nakamaro, a great figure in the Nara period, is well-known in China and Japan. His achievements are absolutely unmatched in the Nara period. Even throughout Japanese history, there is almost no one who can match him."

Professor Kitayama looked at everyone and seemed to see that everyone still didn't quite understand how powerful Abe Nakamaro's achievements were.

Immediately, he said bluntly.

"When it comes to Japanese Onmyoji, I think the first thing you think of is Abe Seimei. You think he is the first Onmyoji."

Everyone nodded in disbelief.

Abe Seimei's contribution and achievements to Onmyodo laid the foundation for the future development of Onmyodo and had a profound impact on Onmyodo.

“Actually, people who really understand Onmyodo and history don’t think Abe Seimei is the first person.

In other words, I think there is someone who can compare to Abe Seimei.

For example, Guanle Sengzheng not only brought ideas such as Happy Dunjia Fangshu and Yin-Yang Five Elements to Japan, but also taught many great figures in Yin-Yang Dao, such as Yang Hu Yuchen, who is revered as the "ancestor of Li Dao" in Japan. Otomo Takatoshi, who is revered as the "ancestor of Tianbun Dao", and Yamabeka Hitachi, who is known as the "ancestor of Dunka Fangju" in Japan.

It can be said that Kanlei Monk is the pioneer of Onmyodo in Japan, and his name is no less than Abe Seimei. "

When everyone heard this, they already realized what Professor Beishan meant by what he said, and their faces looked shocked.

"Could it be that...Abe Nakamaro..."

"Yes, Abe Nakamaro is also a famous figure in Onmyodo. His achievements are the same as those of Kanre Sengmasa, no less than Abe Seimei, and even better."

Professor Beishan looked excited and his voice was trembling.

"Because Abe Nakamaro's reputation is not like that of Abe Seimei. It is only passed down in Japan. His name was also famous in China during the Tang Dynasty.

As you know about Master Kukai, he once went to China and obtained Buddhist scriptures, which had a profound impact on Japanese Buddhism. Abe Seimei also went to China, and it is said that he even became a disciple of Hakudō.

Both of them are very powerful. They studied in China and later became famous in Japan. "

Everyone nodded.

They still know what Professor Kitayama said. The suspected mythical and extraordinary glory of China is much more powerful than that of Japan. People like Abe Seimei and Master Kukai went to China one by one, and they made extraordinary achievements like gold plating.

Just when they were confused as to why Professor Kitayama suddenly mentioned these things, Professor Kitayama changed the subject.

"They just learned scriptures and apprenticed in China. Abe Nakamaro was different. He made extraordinary achievements in China. He took the imperial examination, became a Jinshi in high school, and served as the guardian of Tang Zuo Sanqi Chang Anan. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty was important to him , took great care of him, and when Abe Nakamaro returned to China, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty even made him a duke.

The Tang Dynasty, one of the most prosperous dynasties in the history of China, had the reputation of being visited by all nations, and Abe Nakamaro became a Jinshi and was promoted to a noble title in such a splendid country of China.

Anyone who is familiar with the history of China's Tang Dynasty will definitely know a person named Chao Heng.

Chao Heng is the Chinese name of Abe Nakamaru in China. "

"Chao Heng?!"

Kenji Tsuchimikado, who loves ancient Chinese poetry, changed his expression:

"Professor Beishan, the Chao Heng you are talking about is the Chao Heng in the poem "Crying Chao Qingheng" written by Li Bai, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty who was known as the 'Immortal of Poetry'?!"

Kenji Tsuchimikado likes ancient poetry very much. He likes to read ancient poetry every day when he has nothing to do.

As for those who like ancient poetry, how could they not know that Li Bai was a great poet known as the Immortal of Poetry, and his talents are famous throughout the ages.

Kenji Tsuchimikado's favorite poet is Li Bai. He has read all Li Bai's poems and studied every one of Li Bai's poems. Among them, he was deeply impressed by one of Li Bai's poems because that poem was related to Japan. To be precise, it was related to Japan. Related to the Japanese.

It is "Crying Chao Qingheng"!

The poem was written by Li Bai for a friend named Chao Heng. The reason why he wrote this poem was because Li Bai learned that his friend Chao Heng was going back to Japan from China because Chao Heng was Japanese. On the way back, Chao Heng Encountered a big wave at sea and drowned.

When Li Bai learned that his friend Chao Heng had passed away unfortunately, he was extremely sad and wrote a poem about Chao Heng.

Kenji Tsuchimikado never expected that Abe Nakamaro was Chao Heng, who was a close friend of Li Bai, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty.

Immediately, Tsuchimikado Kenji was deeply aware of Abe Nakamaro's achievements. He was a famous person who was famous in Japan and also in China, and could be recognized and befriended by famous people in China!

"Yes, I am talking about Chao Heng in the poem "Crying Chao Qingheng" written by Li Bai.

He was Abe Nakamaro. He was not only good friends with Li Bai, but also with great poets of the Tang Dynasty such as Wang Wei, Chu Guangxi, and Zhao Ye (Hua). "

When Tsuchimikado Kenji heard this, he gasped and stared at the boss. He had heard of all the Chinese names mentioned by Professor Beishan, and they were all famous poets in Chinese history.

Immediately afterwards.

After Tsuchimikado Kenji explained the identities of Li Bai, Wang Wei and others, Professor Kitayama also talked about Abe Nakamaro's deeds in Tang and Japan. Everyone was shocked and speechless.

They finally understood why Abe Nakamaro was said to be even more accomplished than Abe Seimei.

Sudden.

Professor Beishan said at the end, and then added something.

"As you know, people worship the strong, and there are often people who pretend to be the strong, or pretend to be the descendants of the strong, in order to gain vanity and attention. Of course, it is also a different kind of worship of the strong.

In fact, there are rumors that Abe Seimei once claimed to be a descendant of Abe Nakamaro. "

"What?!"

Everyone stood up suddenly. If Abe Otakemaro hadn't been present, they would have stood up in shock.

Even so, they were also horrified.

The number one Onmyoji master, Abe Seimei, such a famous person actually pretends to be someone else’s descendant? !

This alone is enough to show how powerful Abe Nakamaro is. Even Abe Seimei admires and is proud of him.

"Don't take it seriously. This is just a rumor. There is a lot of controversy in the historians about Abe Seimei saying that he is a descendant of Abe Nakamaro. They think this is false."

Professor Beishan waved his hands, fearing that if he told a rumor on a whim, everyone would believe it to be true. After all, it was just a controversial rumor that had not been confirmed or refuted.

In fact, the main reason why he told this rumor was because he learned that Abe Nakamaro was extraordinary today.

A celebrity who existed in the previous era of the Heian period is still extraordinary. Maybe this rumor is not necessarily false. Unfortunately, he cannot prove it. As a historian, things that are not confirmed cannot be said nonsense. Historians have to defend their own words. Responsible.

"It's not fake, it's real."

Without any warning, a lazy middle-aged voice came out, echoing in everyone's ears.

moment.

Everyone suddenly turned their heads and looked directly at Abe Otakemaro, their expressions were extremely shocking and their hearts were shaken.

"Really??" Professor Beishan couldn't help but asked, fearing that he was hallucinating.

It can be seen that when Professor Beishan asked this question, veins appeared in the corners of his eyes. He was so shocked that his blood surged and his voice was almost moaning.

Abe Otakemaro picked up a pastry on the table with a toothpick, ate it, and nodded.

"real."

…
