Chapter 30 The difference between men and women, the mainland is divided
In these dangerous times, the powerful Onmyoji will be sought after by mortals wherever he goes. Kaguya and Harumi were no exception, and they encountered a lot of things on their way west.
Subduing demons and ghosts, the two of them relied on their own strength, but they also made a name for themselves along the way.
Of the three rituals of exorcism, complete extermination is the most conventional means. When encountering a powerful fierce spirit, the Onmyoji will also accept it as a Shikijin if he has the conditions.
As for the so-called transcendence, it is something that most onmyoji will not do. Because, it doesn't make sense to do this.
However, a peck and a drink are all days. The more you give, the more you will get.
Of course, don't think that the more you give, the more positive you get. In many cases, the more you give, the more negative you get.
But transcendence, although it looks like the latter, is actually the former.
Qingming is a young man with a relatively positive outlook! For him, as long as he is a ghost who has been wronged, he will take excessive measures.
Unexpectedly, this mercy actually pushed him to the first person in the Onmyoji world.
Using empathetic psychic contact to resolve the resentment in the ghost's heart, the ghost is overpowered.
Among them, because his own mind has been greatly tortured, Qingming's will will become stronger.
What is the will? The will is the subject of a person's thinking. Spiritual energy, on the other hand, comes from personal thinking.
As a result, a strong will brings great spiritual power, and a strong spiritual energy hooks more natural energy.
In the end, because of the follow-up influence of transcendence, Qingming's spiritual power began to develop by leaps and bounds.
Stop-and-go, from the future Fire Country all the way to the west, the two of them walked for ten years before they reached the Ghost Country region of the later generations.
Where is the location of the Oni Country? We all know that on the map of the world with the Land of Fire as the core, the location of the Land Country is due northwest.
And the country of ghosts is a country bordering the southwest corner of the land country.
Of course, in the era of this city-state, the state has not yet appeared.
Therefore, when people introduce their origins, they usually say which city-state they are from.
After three hundred years of change, the former tribe became a city-state. And the witches in the tribe, because of the difference between men and women, eventually derived two professions.
One is called Onmyoji, and the other is called a shrine maiden.
In the beginning, the onmyoji and the shrine maiden were only called separately because of their different genders.
However, because of the priority of the natural energy of the spiritual energy in the spiritual power, the two are divided. This split is not for the sake of gender, but for the sake of one's own way.
In the end, the path of the Onmyoji is for spiritual energy to harness nature, that is, from the inside out. The means of battle is a talisman drawn with spiritual power.
And the path of the shrine maiden is the natural energy to control the spirit, that is, from the outside to the inside. The means of fighting is a single spiritual power. It can be said that this is a battle mode that breaks all the ways with one force.
The main force of the Onmyoji is in the east of the continent. The main power of the shrine maiden is in the western part of the continent.
Therefore, the westward journey of the two of them was from the sphere of influence of the Onmyoji to the sphere of influence of the shrine maiden.
The practice of Onmyoji is easy first and then difficult, that is, Onmyoji is easier to get started. And if you want to become strong, it is impossible without the courage of Qingming.
The practice of the witch is difficult and then easy, as long as you can control the natural energy, the spiritual energy is also trivial. Most people, however, kneel on the threshold of controlling natural energy.
In general, the base of the Onmyoji is large, and the strength is uneven. Although there are many monsters in the east of the continent, most of them are not very strong.
And the base of the shrine maiden is small, but the strength is stronger than the other. In this environment, although there are few monsters in the west of the continent, they are all elites.
And this, as the two of them gradually walked to the west, they could feel it from the power of the monster.
At the same time, after arriving in the territory of the Oni Country, this feeling became even more obvious.
Although in the future, this area will be called the Land of Demons. However, it has always been a place of beautiful mountains and rivers.
In the future, the reason why its country is named ghost is because this country has an extremely rich witch culture.
Moreover, unlike the east of the mainland, the political system of the west of the mainland is still the patriarchal system inherited from the tribal period.
In other words, the one who dominates the west of the continent is one witch after another.
Under normal circumstances, every village will have a shrine maiden stationed to protect the villagers. This kind of thing is simply inconceivable in the east of the mainland.
What the? You let me live in that kind of rural place, do you look down on me as an onmyoji?
After learning about the situation in the west of the mainland, Qingming was able to make up his brain and place the onmyoji in the countryside, what are the faces of some onmyoji.
How so? Whether it's a shrine maiden society or an onmyoji society, both have their own advantages!
Because of this problem, Harumi also discussed it with Kaguya. Of course, this discussion is based on a deep understanding of the western part of the continent.
In the end, according to the discussion, the advantages and disadvantages of the two are as follows.
First of all, it is the east of the continent dominated by the onmyoji. Because it is the man who is in charge of the house, the patrilineal spirit is the main body in the eastern part of the mainland.
And the patrilineal spirit is exclusive, and the will to fight is high. Generally speaking, the changes in the eastern part of the continent are more drastic. And drastic changes can easily promote the progress of society.
Secondly, the western part of the continent, dominated by shrine maidens. Because it is the woman who is the master of the house, the matriarchal spirit is the main body in the western part of the mainland.
The matriarchal spirit is inclusive, the will to fight is low, and it tends to be conservative. Overall, the western part of the continent is changing very slowly. And the slow change is very friendly to civilians.
Think about it, in such an era of monsters everywhere, as an ordinary person, it is not easy to live to be sixty or seventy years old!
In the eastern part of the mainland, the village chief is generally the most powerful person. Because it is strong, it will not be easily killed.
In the west of the mainland, the village chief is the oldest person. Because old age is the wisest.
Of course, in the west of the mainland, the village chief in the village is not the largest in the village, and the shrine maiden stationed here is the earth emperor here.
"Thank you for your hospitality!" Gently placing the porcelain cup on the table, Kaguya knelt on the wooden floor and thanked the shrine maiden in front of him.
"Hehe~~" The beautiful woman in front of her let out a silver bell-like laugh while covering her mouth with a fan.
"You're welcome!" The shrine maiden named Sakura said softly, "I'm here! But it's been a long time since a shrine maiden has passed here! Besides, an onmyoji who is rarer than a shrine maiden. As she spoke, the shrine maiden's lovely eyes glanced at Haruaki.
