I'm a Hokage in Tokyo

I have to say that monks' ability in debate is really strong, which is totally different from the hodgepodge of Onmyoji.

Moreover, the Tendai sect is also a major sect in Japanese Buddhism. The aura of the fat monk as the leader is so overwhelming that both the Seimei Shrine and the Tsuchimikado Shinto Shrine cannot raise their heads.

He fought one against two and refuted the Yin-Yang Taoist duo thoroughly, leaving them with red faces.

"Well, please stop arguing for now."

The Prime Minister coughed and spoke slowly.

After he gave the order, the fat monk did not pursue the victory, but lowered his head and silently chanted the Buddha's name.

"Master, what you just said, the scripture says that chanting the Taishan Palace Lord Mantra can heal without medicine, is that true?"

The Prime Minister looked through the documents in his hand and asked thoughtfully.

"Amitabha, monks do not tell lies."

It turns out that in addition to the power to control the cycle of life and death, the Lord of Mount Tai also has the power to cure diseases.

And Konjac Yama is increasingly overlapping.

It turns out that Dr. Satomi's original extraordinary healing skills came from this.

The Prime Minister touched his half-bald head, felt that he had discovered the truth, and patted his thigh with satisfaction.

"I wonder what Professor Changshan and the other experts think? Is this the Lord of Mount Tai, or some other deity or Buddha?"

Several experts looked at each other, and finally Professor Changshan stood up.

"We believe that He is the King of Hell, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and the Lord of Mount Tai! Trinity!"

Professor Changshan carefully considered his words and spoke word by word.

"Oh? What do you mean?" The Prime Minister's eyes lit up and he asked with interest.

"In the Kamakura period, there was the 'Ten Kings Sutra' which claimed that King Yama was the incarnation of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Now it seems that this is not groundless."

Professor Changshan pondered for a moment and analyzed seriously: "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Yama King may be one of the incarnations of the Lord of Mount Tai."

The Prime Minister and others also sat upright, listening attentively with their ears pricked up.

"In some ancient books from the Han Dynasty in China, the Buddhist King of Hell and the Lord of Mount Tai are also equated as one god."

Professor Changshan explained in a clear and orderly manner.

"Considering that during the Asakusa Incident, the Toad Sage directly addressed the Hell Messenger as the Lord of Mount Tai, and the Train did not object, it was obvious that he assumed that King Yama was the Lord of Mount Tai."

King Yama and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva are incarnations of each other, and King Yama and the Lord of Mount Tai are one and the same.

Therefore, the Lord of Mount Tai is equal to King Yama and is equal to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

The bigwigs present at the meeting suddenly understood and nodded frequently.

"I see."

"No wonder their powers are so similar, they are both the Lords of Hell."

"Trinity! It's really extraordinary!"

In fact, they were inclined towards this possibility.

It would be more convincing if it were endorsed by Professor Changshan and other experts.

"..."

The other historians and mythologists looked at each other, their mouths twitching and their expressions slightly unnatural.

Professor Changshan’s conclusion is not entirely fabricated.

Whether it is the "Sutra of the Ten Kings on the Causes and Conditions of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Aspiration" or the equating of the King of Hell with the Lord of Mount Tai, both are true events in history.

But from a mythological perspective, this is just a missionary need.

When Buddhism was introduced into China, in order to cater to believers, it set its sights on the then popular belief in the underworld god Taishan who exorcises ghosts.

The monks at that time took the initiative to translate "hell" into "Taishan", intentionally or unintentionally confusing the King of Hell with the Lord of Mount Tai, in order to infringe on the faith of the Lord of Mount Tai.

As soon as Buddhism gained a foothold, it immediately abandoned this view and demoted the Lord of Mount Tai to a status lower than that of King Yama.

The belief in the Lord of Mount Tai, which existed at the beginning of the Qin and Han dynasties, was divided and absorbed by Taoism and Buddhism and gradually disappeared.

From an academic perspective, Professor Changshan's conclusion is really far-fetched. If it were published as a paper, it would certainly be criticized.

But times have changed. Even the Lord of Mount Tai has personally come to the scene. Is there any more powerful evidence than this? !

Facts speak louder than words. Academics are not just talk, and they cannot change reality.

Judging from the existing evidence, the possibility that the Lord of Mount Tai, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Yama King are a trinity is the highest.

"Okay, it's decided to be the Lord of Mount Tai!"

The Prime Minister and other bigwigs whispered to each other and had a heated discussion for a while, and finally decided to offer sacrifices to the Lord of Mount Tai.

"Since he is the Lord of Mount Tai, then we must hold a Lord of Mount Tai Festival."

"The Taishan Palace Ceremony alone is not enough to express our gratitude and sincerity. Should we go a step further and hold the Heavenly Courtyard Ceremony?"

"The Heavenly Court Festival, isn't this held when the Emperor ascends the throne? Your Majesty has only been on the throne for a few years, and you... are truly treasonous."

"Reissue, I mean reissue! Don't misunderstand what I mean."

The Prime Minister and other bigwigs were much more active and enthusiastic than they were before in the Parliament Hall when they looked listless.

Compared with dealing with state affairs, it is more important to worship the Lord of Mount Tai.

"The Lord, and the representative of Tsuchimikado."

The Prime Minister's eyes flashed and he asked meaningfully.

"I wonder if you still have the method of holding the Taishan Palace Lord Festival?"

The shrine's leader and the Tsuchimikado representative looked at each other in silence.

The Taishan Fujun Festival was abolished as early as the Meiji period and has not been held for more than a hundred years. For a small family like theirs, it is natural that the tradition has been lost long ago.

"Of course... we will of course pass down the ceremony of holding the Taishan Lord Festival intact."

The God gritted his teeth and lied boldly.

The official must seize this golden opportunity to re-hold the Taishan Lord Festival. At worst, they can just piece together a set of rituals from the classics to fool people.

"I'm not talking about that kind of Taishan Fujun Festival, but another kind of 'Taishan Fujun Festival'."

The Prime Minister's words immediately made the other bigwigs' eyes glow green like wolves.

The Uchiha Immortals were not the only ones who had heard of another kind of Taishan Fujun Festival.

The Prime Minister was not talking about the ritual Taishan Fujun Festival for praying for blessings and warding off disasters, but the supreme secret art of Yin and Yang Taoism that is said to be able to prolong life and even bring the dead back to life.

"This……"

After realizing what was going on, the chief priest of Seimei Shrine stammered and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

If it were to ordinary believers, the god would certainly dare to brag.

But anyone in the conference room could kill him with just a little finger. If he made a big promise but failed to do it, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Ugh."

Looking at the two representatives, the Shinto shrine and Tsuchimikado, whose faces turned pale and whose bodies trembled like sieves, the Prime Minister showed obvious disappointment on his face.

"Send these masters and experts down to rest, and then consult with them about the preparations for the Taishan Lord Festival."

The Prime Minister waved his hand, and several men in black suits came forward and took everyone away.

A gray-haired minister approached the Prime Minister with a somewhat anxious look and said:

"Is there really no Taishan Lord Sacrifice technique that can prolong life?"

“It’s something you can encounter but you can’t ask for it.”

The Prime Minister shook his head.

"But I have already sent people to search the Seimei Shrine, hoping to find valuable clues, not just the magic of the Taishan Fujun Festival, it would be even better if there is the inheritance of Abe Seimei."

Abe Haruaki is not only the inventor of the Taizan Fujun Festival, but also the most powerful Onmyoji in history.

Thousands of years ago during the Heian period, it was Abe Haruaki who sealed Princess Kaguya in Mount Fuji.

The love-hate entanglement between Abe Haruaki and Princess Kaguya is so fascinating that one can't stop thinking about it.

"Next, what work is left to be done?"

The Prime Minister turned and asked his secretary.

"Mr. Prime Minister, we have invited the BBC and Kyodo News Agency to the press conference to announce the extraordinary event to the world..."

The secretary listed a series of world-famous TV stations.

"That's enough, that's enough."

The Prime Minister interrupted his secretary's speech with a dull look, which seemed like a desperate move.

"This little thing..."

Chapter 333 Chapter 334 Don't ask the common people, ask the ghosts and gods

The next morning, the surface of the Sumida River was shrouded in mist, and the morning mist gradually rose, revealing the clear sky.

The Skytree in Tokyo's Sumida district is less than a ten-minute walk from Sensoji Temple, and you can clearly see Sensoji Temple from the 450-meter-high observation deck.

Unfortunately, although the Sky Tree is still there, Sensoji Temple has been completely wiped off the map.

Such a big change has taken place in Asakusa, which is not far away, and people are in panic, so the Skytree will naturally not be open to the public.

A figure stood silently on the empty observation deck.

Looking down from here at the original site of Sensoji Temple, a cordon has been set up around it. Staff in white coats and black uniforms are busy running back and forth like ants.

"Poor at midnight, I don't ask people to ask ghosts and gods."

A fat crow with shiny feathers stood on Uchiha Ming's right shoulder, combing its feathers.

Uchiha Ming slowly opened his right eye, his expression a little strange, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

He also did not expect that after the Asakusa Incident, the Japanese government would actually make the worship of Taishan Fujun a top priority.

The reconstruction of Asakusa and the resettlement of its residents, as well as calming people's hearts, dealing with public pressure from across the country and even the world, and making public the many supernatural phenomena that have occurred since the 19th year of the Heisei era, are enough to overwhelm the Japanese government.

But even so, the Japanese government still decided to hold the Taishan Fujun Festival.

Moreover, it must be held in a grand manner, with no expense spared in the budget, and it must be elevated to a national festival in one go.

Preparations are now in full swing, and even special personnel have been dispatched to search for the so-called descendants of Tsuchimikado.

Even Uchiha Ming, the mastermind behind this, was speechless for a long time after hearing the news.

What is this?

A funeral as a celebration? Or a diversion?

Neither of them seem like it. They are devout and want to offer sacrifices to the Lord of Mount Tai.

Isn't it a bit too careless of the Japanese government? At this critical moment of life and death, at this turning point in the fate of the country, it actually wants to waste massive amounts of manpower and resources on such a futile thing.

"Don't ask the common people, ask the ghosts and gods..."

Uchiha Ming chanted in a rhythmic voice, "Ah, I am a ghost myself, so forget it."

In fact, Uchiha Ming, the instigator, knew in his heart that under the background of the revival of the Age of Gods that he fabricated, people naturally believed that praying to ghosts and gods was really "useful".

Wasn't it the Lord of Mount Tai who finally suppressed the Asakusa Incident?

It is not difficult to understand why the Japanese dignitaries harbored emotions such as fear, desire, and admiration for the Lord of Mount Tai.

As the early BOSS and the leader of the Akatsuki organization, Afei released Kaguya-hime and defeated Gama Sage, with an impressive record. The third-stage Susanoo is nearly a hundred meters high, and his every move has overwhelming power.

The news frightened the top government officials, who at one point wanted to abandon the city and flee.

However, this invincible Ah Fei was used as a stepping stone and was instantly killed by Taishan Lord's "Shiki Fujin".

How can we not let the Japanese government prostrate itself before the mighty power of the Lord of Mount Tai?

Lord Taishan is the strongest among all Uchiha Ming's current aliases, and is not even on the same level as the so-called Kage-level powerhouses.

The official classification of Lord Taishan as super shadow level is appropriate.
