For an ordinary person who suddenly hears "Death does exist in this world", only ninety-nine out of a hundred people will think that the other person has a brain problem. As far as actors are concerned, let alone a "ghost of death", even if there are gods and Buddhas all over the world, they will not react.
So, what about Wushen Xizi
It is certain that the Godless family is not an ordinary family.
This is a family of onmyojis. In fact, the cast of this film is not weak. They are all newly-emerged onmyojis from the medium-sized theaters in Dongying. They are qualified to star in a movie of the first level of ghosts, which is enough to prove their strength.
The heyday of Onmyoji was during the Heian period in Japan. In the so-called Heian period, Emperor Huanmu moved the capital from Heijo-kyo to Heian-kyo and named it, and Heian-kyo is today's Kyoto. The Heian era is said to be an era when hundreds of ghosts walk at night, and the very famous onmyoji An/Be Seimei in history was a person of that era. Onmyoji's status was extremely extraordinary in that era, even the emperor, the general who conquered barbarians, would give way to Onmyoji. In the era of ghosts and night walks, human beings can only rely on onmyojis to fight against all kinds of ghosts and monsters.
However, even so, today's Japan is no longer the era of the ghosts of the night, but the era of the peak of science, which is also called "the era of the end of the law". Today, Onmyoji has been far away from the political center, and has less and less public activities. Especially after Japan's defeat, the atomic bomb made ordinary Japanese people see clearly the horror of nuclear weapons. Compared with ghosts and evil spirits, the real nuclear terror is obviously more terrifying.
If you really want to talk about the god of death... The Japanese really regard it as the god of death, it should be the two atomic bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki back then. Japan succumbed to the deterrence of the atomic bomb and chose to surrender. The emperor is no longer a god, and people can only regard him as a spiritual symbol. Although Japan is recovering economically, it no longer has the power to own an army, and its economy and politics are greatly controlled by the United States.
For Wu Shen Xizi, "Death" is a symbolic concept that only exists in mythology. Since she was born, she has never seen a real monster ghost, but she does know that her family is a family that rose in the Heian period and was valued by the emperor.
"Reaper... is there really a so-called god of death?" Yuan Xuexun's tone now seemed "unbelievable": "Brother, isn't this kind of thing too absurd?"
"Xizi, this is true. From ancient times to the present, the God of Death has always existed. Famine, disease, war, everything is caused by the existence of the God of Death. Look at this map...all the red dots in it are the events that happened in Kyoto. A series of abnormal deaths."
"Well... I know that there have indeed been many deaths recently..."
"These deaths are very abnormal." Pointing to the map above, Ye Xiang said: "The common point of the cases is...the time of death identified by the forensic doctor does not match the time when the last witness saw the deceased... "
"What do you mean?"
"Simply put... Someone once, after these dead people died, saw 'them'!"
The atmosphere in the room seemed to have dropped by dozens of degrees.
For Yuan Xuexun, this kind of supernatural phenomenon has long been commonplace, but for Wushen Xizi who has never really been in contact with supernatural phenomena, it is an extremely terrifying thing.
"Big... big brother... you, don't scare me..."
"So I don't want to tell you." Ye Xiang sighed, then pointed to the location of Wushen Shrine on the map, and said, "Each red dot represents an abnormal death event, and the center point of these death events, This is where our shrine is!"
"This... No, I've never seen such a thing in the newspaper!"
"Do you think the government will easily announce this abnormal phenomenon? People in the police station will naturally not disclose it to the media."
"But..." Yuan Xuexun pointed at the map, and then pointed at Ye Xiang: "That's not right... If the police station doesn't disclose it to the public, how would you know about it?"
"You seem to have forgotten... I'm an onmyoji, Xizi. I haven't told you all this time. In fact, I've been in touch with the police for so many years. I rely on the ability of an onmyoji to help them solve the case. Naturally, all the credit for the incident will be given to me." Give it to them, I will not mention me in the newspaper, but as a condition, I hope they will help me investigate the disappearance of my parents. After my parents disappeared, I found some notes hidden by my parents. On it, I found some clue."
"Is the so-called 'clue' just... Death?"
The resurrection of the dead, the god of death... This concept is still difficult to understand even for people born in the Onmyoji family.
"Brother... the so-called god of death really exists?" At this time, the godless group began to question: "If there is a god of death, is it that the life and death of human beings is determined by the so-called god of death? Does war exist because of the god of death? Is it because of the god of death? Is it because of the god of death that our country encounters the atomic bomb? Is it because of the god of death that we will lose in the war? Isn’t it? It’s all decided by those politicians!”
In fact, in World War II, the emperor needed to bear the responsibility for the war. However, in order to better control Japan after the war, the United States chose to retain the emperor system in the end, and never held the emperor responsible for the war, even including Prince Asaka Hatohiko who was directly responsible for the Nanjing Massacre. Escaped from guilt, and died a good death!
Frankly speaking, Yuan Xuexun is extremely disgusted with Wushentuan's lines at the moment! What she said seemed to be that the responsibility for the war was not initiated by Japan at all. The Japanese only thought of how many lives their citizens had taken away from the atomic bombs. How many innocent civilians had they slaughtered in foreign lands? The so-called "Japanese are also victims of war"? It was this group of people who set foot on the land of China one by one with the idea of fighting for the emperor, and slaughtered without conscience! Now, he is still shamelessly paying homage to war criminals, completely whitewashing his crimes of aggression!
"Our country has also committed all kinds of murderous crimes in China." Ye Xiang said this sentence at this time. This is a line that is not in the script. After all, it is the same as revising Japanese textbooks. Such lines appeared in the movie script. At their level, it is allowed to make slight changes to the script to a certain extent where it only involves details. Of course, this also requires a redemption ticket.
But Ye Xiang said so. He is sure that it will not be NG. The 1990s was a period of relatively good relations between China and Japan. According to the calculation of time, just last year (1995), Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama visited China and visited the Marco Polo Bridge Memorial Hall. At this time, ordinary people in Japan should also fully understand and have a mentality of apologizing for the war of aggression against China.
And... Saying this line, even if it's NG, Ye Xiang thinks it's worth it! After all, with Yao Shichen's redemption ticket, he can afford it!
Sure enough, as soon as this line came out, there was no NG. Ye Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Hell Cinema's judgment on such a big issue of right and wrong was fairly fair, and it did not strictly favor the side of the Japanese theater chain.
However, at this time, Yuan Xuexun said again: "No... I think the second brother is right. If it is understandable to talk about the epidemic and famine, but the war was started by human beings themselves, how could it be related to the god of death?"
Ye Xiang took a deep breath.
"It may be difficult for you to understand, but the god of death has always controlled the life and death of human beings. However, it does not make much sense to discuss the relationship between war and the god of death. The biggest problem now is that we Onmyoji have a great relationship with the god of death. connection."
"We... Onmyoji?"
"Onmyoji and Shinigami are natural enemies. We changed the balance between the living and the dead, allowing those who should have entered the death list of the Shinigami to survive. So... for the Shinigami, we have become the ones who must make up for the omissions. The subject of the death list."
"The missing... death list?"
It sounds like the plot of the famous horror movie "Death Comes"!
"The reason why father and mother have disappeared until now is because... they must prevent the god of death from attacking the members of the Onmyoji family. They... are for us to survive!"
