What is spirit
This question made the three top representatives of the magic world in the director's room all look at each other, and then they all turned their heads and looked at Luo Zhen, who had a calm face, as if they were trying to figure out his intentions.
Why ask this question
The three people present were thoughtful.
In the end, the person who answered Luo Zhen's question was not Genji Kurahashi, the director of the Onmyo Department, nor Daishin Tenkai, the director of the Curse Search Department, but Miyaji Bano, the director of the Exorcism Bureau with a grim look on his face.
"There is no explanation related to the soul in current spells. The officially recognized general view is that we don't know whether the soul really exists."
Miyaji Banfu answered like this with his eyes closed.
"In the general form, when we talk about spirit, we generally don't mean the spirit of the soul, but the spirit that creates all things in the world, or the Qi that inhabits all things in the world."
This is the concept of existences such as aura and miasma.
In Yin-Yang Tao, its most basic idea is the theory of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements.
Although the interpretations of this idea before and after the war, that is, the ancient "Onmyojitsu" and the modern "Onmyoji" were very different, this idea is still used as the backbone of "Onmyoji" to this day.
so...
"Yin and yang constitute the world, and yin and yang qi are classified into more detailed five qi of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. This is the theory of yin and yang and the five elements."
Miyaji Pano explained this in his unique voice that seemed full of laziness and distress.
"And all things in the world composed of these qi also include human beings. Therefore, even the general version recognizes that human beings have spiritual bodies called spirits, which are the spiritual bodies and spiritual beings that we often mention. Then Some people call it the soul because there are cases where only the spirit body remains after a person dies for a period of time, which is called the residual spirit body. This is the general explanation of the spirit."
In other words, the so-called ethereal souls of a religious nature are generally denied, and modern theories are used to explain the nature of spiritual bodies and spiritual beings, believing that they are different entities formed by aura.
Thanks to this, existences such as gods, Buddhas, demons, ghosts, etc. are all interpreted as a collection of Qi. Even the Yulings studied by the Yuling Department are also included in it. It is believed that the so-called gods and heroic spirits are all It is a thing formed by the remaining spiritual energy of the great beings in the past. It is filled in every corner of the world and is everywhere.
"Since you are the chief new student of this Yin Yang School, you should know the classification of spiritual disasters, right?"
Miyaji Bano asked this question.
The so-called classification of spiritual disasters refers to the classification based on the scale and nature of spiritual disasters.
With phase as the prefix, spiritual disasters are divided into five levels: phase1, phase2, phase3, phase4 and phase5.
Phase 1 is the direction of spiritual energy that cannot be recovered naturally.
Phase 2 is a state in which the spiritual energy is strengthened and causes physical damage to the surroundings.
Phase 3 is a materialized mobile spiritual disaster, commonly known as moving spiritual disaster. It will be like a naturally formed causative shikigami, with something as the core and using it as a form to form various postures.
Phase 4 is a state in which a huge spiritual disaster is at the center and countless spiritual disasters occur in a chain. It is also called the Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts. The spiritual disaster terrorist attack caused by Zhidao in Dalian Temple two years ago was a spiritual disaster of this level.
As for phase 5, it is a stabilizing spiritual disaster accepted by the world. Even the textbooks do not provide any more explanations about this level of spiritual disaster. I only know that the official recognizes the existence of this level, but I don’t know about this level at all. What does a spiritual disaster look like
However, based on the above statement, a conclusion can be drawn.
"Spiritual disasters are also formed by qi, but they are miasmas formed after the qi of all things in the world becomes unstable and distorted."
Miyaji Banfu said this.
"The miasma can materialize after it reaches phase 3. The so-called demons and ghosts are ultimately the existences formed by this level of spiritual disaster. Even the imperial spirits are spiritually different from ordinary spiritual disasters. For special spiritual disasters, if a human with excessive spiritual power meets certain conditions after death, the remaining spirit body will become the core of the special spiritual disaster and take shape. This is the Yuling."
This is the modern interpretation of the spirit, impeccably dissected.
"Your shikigami, that dragon in the servitude style is strictly speaking a kind of special spiritual disaster. The spiritual existence formed after the qi of all things in the world is unnaturally distorted. Therefore, in the pan-style, the so-called spirit and qi are The same thing.”
The director of the Exorcism Bureau, who specializes in dealing with spiritual disasters, perfectly explained the answer to his question to Luo Zhen.
"So you can understand, right?"
Tianhai Dashan took over Gongchi Panfu's words and smiled at Luo Zhen.
"The denial of the soul is the modern Yin and Yang Dao. If you touch it without authorization, you are like an antisocial terrorist. It is clear whether you should be punished, right?"
Tianhai Dashan said this, but the smile on his face didn't look like he was treating a criminal at all, but instead seemed like he was teasing and teasing.
Regarding this...
"In this case, why was the Tsuchimikado family's "Taishan Fukun Festival" not banned, and why was the former Soul Controlling Department allowed to study the Soul Controlling Department?"
Luo Zhen asked this question to the three people present with a half-smile, causing the three people present to fall silent again.
yes.
If this is the case, why was the Tsuchimikado family's "Taishan Fukun Festival" not banned, and why was the former Soul Controlling Department allowed to study the Soul Controlling Department
"The answer is actually very simple, because both the Tsuchimikado family's "Taishan Prefecture Monarch Festival" and the Yuling Department's research on Yuling are matters approved by the royal family."
Luo Zhen made such remarks unscrupulously regardless of the reactions of the three people present.
"The Tsuchimikado family's "Taishan Prefecture Lord Festival" is not only a ceremony held from generation to generation, but also has the meaning of offering sacrifices to the royal family."
"The same goes for the research of the Ministry of Soul Controlling. It is established in the Imperial Palace and is recognized for the research on Soul Controlling. It also has the permission of the royal family."
"If it is the imperial-style "Taishan Mansion Monarch Festival", it is strictly prohibited because it was the culprit that caused great spiritual disasters."
"But the Tsuchimikado family's "Taishan Fukun Festival" has an aspect of offering sacrifices to the royal family, so even if you want to ban it, you can't."
"In other words, it is allowed to hold the "Taishan Prefecture King Festival" that has been passed down from generation to generation in our Tsuchimikado family."
Luo Zhen's eyes turned to Kurahashi Genji, Amami Dashan, and Miyaji Banfu one after another, and finally said leisurely.
"It is precisely because of this that you don't know whether you should convict me and bring me here for dialogue. Otherwise, if it is really me who committed the crime, you big shots don't need to tell me so much, just directly If you arrest me, I believe the government and society won’t say much, right?”
Luo Zhen finally revealed this hidden fact.
That’s what you’re saying, right
"Actually, even you yourself don't know whether you should convict me, so that's why you let me come here, isn't it?"
Luo Zhen's last words seemed to convict the three people present, leaving them completely speechless.
