In view of the many issues related to spells that appear in this volume, enthusiastic book friends have provided some information to facilitate their understanding.

The following content is provided by book friend "mental_h".

I hope it can give my friends some help.

1. Water and Heaven Law

タニヤタ·ウダカダイバナ·エンケイエンケイ·ソワカ!

"My nephew Wu Tuo Jade Po Na 噙 醯堙 醯娯娑妑娑"

Luo Zhen competed with Genji Cangqiao when he was young. The water method used by Cangqiao created a "dragon rope seal" when activated (all the seals mentioned in the spells, please refer to Baidu for details). The source of the Buddhist scriptures is Volume 11 of the Dharani Collection:

Water and Sky Calling Seal Thirty-Five

Use the little fingers of both hands. The second ring finger is behind the little finger. Fingers intertwined. The same goes for the second middle finger. The second finger presses the first joint on the back of the second middle finger. Raise your palms up like squeezing water. Use the two big thumb fingers. Each is attached to the index finger side. The big mother pointed her fingers back and forth and cursed.

Nephew (1) Wutuo (disseminated) Jativana (2) [King*] Xi [Wang*] Xi (3) Shahe (4)

The water and sky here refers to the water and sky among the twelve deities who protect the Dharma in Tantric Buddhism. The earliest source of water and sky in Buddhism is the Varuna, sky, and rain in Indian Vedic mythology mentioned in the article. and the god of the sea. Many protector gods in Buddhism were directly absorbed from original mythology, including the later Emperor Shakti.

Regarding the interpretation, "Saha" appearing in the original text is the transliteration of the same word as "Shaha" in the scriptures, which means "achievement"; "Xie Ta" means "that is to say the curse", both of which are Common words used in Buddhist mantras. In addition, "Wu Tuo" means "superior, supreme" in Sanskrit, and "Deva" refers to the gods in the six paths, that is, the category of gods to which water and heaven belong. After comparing "堙醯" with other texts such as "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva Taduo Suixin Dharani Sutra", it was determined that it means "invite you to come". Therefore, the combined meaning is probably "that is, when the mantra is said, on the day of the supreme defeat of the tower." People, please come, please come, it will be accomplished.”

2. Fudo Ming King

(1) The Little Mantra of Fudo Mingwang:

ノウマク·サンマンダ·バサラダン·カン!

"It's a pity that Namo Sanmanduo defeated Nan"

When Luo Zhen confronted Jing Ling Lu, the fire method used by Jing Ling Lu was also used by Luo Zhen against phase 4. Create a "sword seal" when activated.

In reality, it is also called the Mantra of the Immovable King, which comes from the Mahavairocana Sutra (full name: Mahavairocana's Divine Transformation and Blessing Sutra). "Maharava Vairocana" is Mahavairocana, which is the foundation of Buddhist Tantra. (one of the sutras), it is the most frequently chanted mantra among practitioners and believers.

Its Sanskrit interpretation is that "Namo" means "take refuge", "Sanmanduo" means "everything", "vajra" means "Vajra", and "regret" means "カン". The seed character of Fudo Myooh. Except for the word "regret" which represents King Ming, the other words are common words in Buddhist mantras, so this entire mantra is also called a one-word mantra.

It appears as a fire method because in Buddhism, Fudo Myoyo often uses flames to burn out external and internal demons. Details can be found in the "Spell of Mercy" section.

(2) Fudo Myoyo Fire Realm Mantra (Great Mantra):

ノウマク·サラバタタギャテイビャク·サラバボッケイビャク·サラバタタラタ·センダマカロシャダ·ケンギャキギャキ·サラバビギナン·ウンタラタ·カンマン!

Namo (take refuge) Safu Tuo Nie Di Bi Yao (all Tathagata) Sa Fu Muqi Bi Yao (all the gates of faces) Sa Fu Tuo (all places) Tala Zha (shout and break obstacles) Zan (violent evil) ) Maha Lusa (great wrath) owes Dharma Sa Tail to the south (all obstacles) (urges to break) Talacha (harms and breaks obstacles) Regret (seed)

It is the most important exorcism spell in pan-Yin Yang magic, which uses the fire of curse to burn the object. When activated, a "fundamental seal" is formed. There are so many appearances that I won’t go into detail (laughs)

In reality, this sutra from "The Vajrapani Light Initiation Sutra, the Most Excellent Standing Seal, the Great and Mighty Wrathful King Chanting Ritual Dharma" (do you think it is too long? The demons were burned by Buddhism and fled in all directions. All living beings were afraid that the running demons would break in and harm them, so King Fudo (called "Holy Wudo the Great and Wrath King" in the title) passed down this mantra, which can help practitioners in the world to protect themselves. When you cast this spell yourself, it has the power to burn mountains and boil the sea, swallowing all the demons into the fire and light realm and turning them into fuel to burn, so it is called the "Fire Realm Curse".

Because it comes from the ritual of chanting and practicing, that is, the formal ceremony of cultivation, in reality, it needs to be taught by a guru before it is allowed to be chanted. It is a very formal mantra. The spells of Fudo Myooh are divided into large, medium and small, and the Fire World Curse is the big spell.

However, since the original work is set to be generic, most Onmyoji can use it, making it a mess (laughs). But it may be because it is related to practice in reality. It is also shown in the works that the more you practice, the stronger your spiritual power will be, and the greater the power. Different people use it with different powers. Miyachi Pano, who is known as "the strongest Onmyoji in the world", became the strongest by virtue of this spell.

(3) Immovable gold binding method

(す)べてべよ, ひっしとべよ, Unknown King’s righteous end and original oath をもってし, この evil を搦めとれとの大 swearなり! オンビシビシカラカラシバリソワカ

"Everything in this world is under control. I, the Immovable King, take the oath to uphold my true self, and make a great vow to cast down this evil spirit! Xisikaluakalusimali Saopaha"

To bind the play Suzuka's spell (laughs), first make the **** seal (I'm a little worried about the harmony), and then make the curse seal.

This is a mantra from the Shugendo system and can be found in the Shugendo Shoshu. Shugendo is a belief native to Japan. It combines belief in Japan itself and Buddhist gods and Buddhas. Due to the great influence of the introduction of Buddhist esoteric Buddhism, it is largely close to Buddhism, but its content is very different. Therefore, this mantra cannot be found in traditional Buddhist scriptures, but it is attributed to Fudo Myooh, シバリ (Simori), which means "binding" in Japanese. In the original work, Ruqing only used pseudonyms for the first half of the sentence.

(4) Fudo Myoyo’s Merciful Rescue Curse (Middle Curse)

ノウマク·サマンダ·バザラダン·センダンマカロシャダヤ·ソハタヤ·ウンタラタ·カンマン

"In the past, Mo Sammando Vuri and Luo Nan fought against Maha Lusa Sa Po Zha Ye Ta Luo Jia Huan Man"

Luo Zhen opened up the incantation of the Buddha's Ding Zun Sheng Mantra on the Jingling Road. The middle curse among the large, medium and small curses of Fudo Myooh, forms a sword seal when activated. In the original work, Otomo-sensei used this spell to absorb the fire snake produced by the small spell on the mirror, and then bounced it back.

The original text comes from Volume 2 of the Mahavairocana Sutra. In order to remove all internal and external obstacles to practice, the World Honored One (called "Bhagavan" in Sanskrit, referring to the Great Sun Tathagata, whose incarnation is Fudo Mingwang), dwells in the flames and uses the flames to Burning out the obstacles of sin (the scripture is "In order to stop all obstacles, dwell in fire-born samadhi"), this mantra was passed down, so that practitioners can fight against internal and external obstacles based on it, and the mantra is called "The Great Destroyer of Obstacles, the Saint will not Move the Lord’s mantra”. Many of the mantras related to Fudo Myoyo in Buddhism are related to flames, and this is why.

The Compassion and Rescue Mantra, like the Minor Mantra, comes from the Mahavamna Sutra. Since the effect of the mantra is to save practitioners from sins, infringements and other obstacles, when it appeared in "The Secret Achievement Ritual of the Forty-eight Envoys of the Victorious Army Fudo Myoyo", it was called "The Mantra of General Relief of Fudo's Merciful Rescue", so it was generally called "The Mantra of Mercy". Rescue spell".

3. Thunder method

(1) Why is the attribute of thunder wood

In the previous chapter, someone asked why thunder is not metal but wood. The five elements must have nothing to do with modern physics. 23333

In fact, in the Bagua, "Zhen", which represents thunder, belongs to wood according to the five elements. King Wen's Houtian Bagua also attributes Zhen to the east, that is, among the five elements, it corresponds to wood, the five sacred beasts belong to Qinglong, and the four seasons belong to spring. This may be because in ancient Chinese people's thoughts, thunder is often related to spring, which represents the beginning of farming and rebirth. The same is true for the "Jingzhe" in solar terms.

(2) The mantra of Emperor Shakti

ノウマク·サンマンダ·ボダナン·インドラヤ·ソワカ!

Namo San Manduo Bo Tuo Nan Shuo Eats Luo Yesha He (the translation used by Ru Qing)

The thunder method used by Natsume was used in sparring when she was a child, and when she was jealous of Kyoko (?). The "Emperor's Seal of Heaven" is activated.

According to the Japanese pronunciation, インドラヤ means "Indraya", so the mantra can actually be translated as:

Namo (take refuge) Sammanduo (everything) Bodana (Buddha) Indraya (Indra) Saha (please achieve)

This is the mantra to call upon Indra, the emperor Shakti. Indra, also known as Emperor Shakti, was originally the main god in Indian mythology. He controlled thunder and lightning. Buddhism absorbed him as a protector god. He is one of the twelve heavens and lives in the east (just as mentioned before, thunder corresponds to the east and the five elements of wood. ).

(3) Cross Bible

The nine heavens respond to the sound of thunder and transform the Heavenly Lord!

(Finally no need to look for Sanskrit anymore hahahahaha)

The thunder method used by Luo Zhen and Jing Ling Lu in their first battle.

Jiutian Yingyuan Thunder Universal Transformation Tianzun is the name of the Taoist God of Thunder. The "Cross Heavenly Sutra" is a recitation and practice method from the Southern Taoism. Reciting the name of the god is practice, and it can also call for the protection of Tianzun. Tianzun means the supreme god, so he is the highest level thunder god in China. In the Romance of the Gods, Jiang Ziya conferred the title of Taishi Wen Zhong of Yin as the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunder Universal Transformation Heavenly Lord (of course, most of the Romance of the Gods has nothing to do with Taoism itself), and Taoist classics consider him to be the incarnation of the Antarctic Immortal Emperor.

In the original work, this thunder technique was Tsuchimikado Chizuru's specialty, and it seems that it was passed down to Luo Zhen (laughs).

4. The Invisibility Method of Mori Zhitian

—オン·アビテヤマリシ·ソワカ—

"Abhidoyamalishisavaha"

The "Invisibility Technique" used by the six-person Chihiro praises the mantra that calls for the blessing of Malizhitian. "Abhi" means "superior". When activated, it can be activated by saying a sentence. The best effect is to recite it several times, form the "Great Vajra Chakra Seal", and then touch the heart, forehead, left shoulder, right shoulder, and top of the head with your hands to bless it. This method of use appears in the original work.

Ma Li Zhitian means "light" and "sun inflammation" in Sanskrit. The essence of "sun inflammation" is the light phenomenon caused by uneven air temperature and changes in refractive index under sun exposure. Because she is the deification of this phenomenon, Marichiten is believed to have the ability to become invisible and protect her. Therefore, she is a goddess believed in by many Japanese samurai, including ninjas, and is therefore considered the god of war.

It is said in the "Buddha Speaks of the Mantra Sutra of the Mantra of the Mali Tribe" that "Bhi Mali is the heaven. No one can see and no one can catch him. He will not be deceived by others and will not be bound by others. He will not be owed money by others." That is to say, Mali is the heaven. Zhi Tian is also the god who helps collect debts (laughs)

5. Mantra to eliminate filth

オン・シュリマリ・ママリマリ・シュシュリ・ソワカ!

"·Shulimoli·Momolimoli·Shuxiuli·Sabhaha!"

This is the mantra of King Wushu Shamoming (also known as the Fire-headed Vajra and the Vajra that removes impurities). Its main meaning is to pray for peace and auspiciousness. In the setting, it is a kind of barrier method. When Luo Zhen competed with Cangqiao when he was a child, Cangqiao used it as a protective barrier, and Luo Zhen used it to seal spiritual disasters in the practical examination. The "Wushu Shamoming King Seal" is activated.

In reality, the impurity-removing Vajra has an angry appearance and has the ability to remove impurities, so it is usually enshrined in the toilet in temples (Puch.jpg). According to the legend of its birth, "The Secret of the Magical Powers of the Great Mandharani", the Vajra was born when the World Honored One was about to enter Nirvana, in order to punish a Brahma king who enjoyed himself and disrespected the World Honored One (as for how to enjoy himself... Harmony 233333). The city walls of King Brahma were covered with filth, and many of the gods and Buddhas sent to capture him were cursed to death because they were close to filth. However, the Vajra of Vajra was not afraid of filth and was able to capture him.

What is strange is that the Japanese version of this mantra is easy to find, but the source is not found in the classics about King Wushu Shamo Ming. In addition, its pronunciation is very different from Sanskrit, so it may have been transformed by Japanese Buddhism or Shugendo.

6. The supreme mantra of the Buddha’s crown

ナマサマンダ·ボダナン·カロン·ビギラナハン·ソ·ウシュニシャ·ソワカ!

"Mo Sammando Boduo Namgyalong Piji Na Pan Sa Xiu scares Sa Po He!"

It is also known as one of the most powerful spells in the imperial style. It was used by Jing Ling Lu against Luo Zhen. The "Great Sun Seal" is activated.

In actual Buddhism, there is also the "Fo Ding Zun Sheng Dharani Sutra" ("Dharani" is the "mantra" in Sanskrit), which records the "Fo Ding Zun Sheng Dharani Mantra", which was introduced in the Tang Dynasty. China and later introduced to Japan. The content of "Fo Ding Zun Sheng Dharani Sutra" tells the story of the Buddha telling the Emperor of Heaven about this mantra, and how it has the effect of purifying all evil karma and heavy obstacles and making the light shine all over the universe.

But it is a pity that in the original work, this mantra contains only ウシュニシャ (transliterated as Wushenisha, meaning Buddha's top), as well as commonly used sentences such as "曩Mosamandadubodana" at the beginning and "Sabhaha" at the end. , the remaining part seems to be fabricated by the original author and has no origin.

(ps: What’s more funny is that the top of the Buddha’s head actually refers to the bag on the head of the Buddha. Yes, it can be seen in the TV series Journey to the West. The bag on the head of Tathagata 23333333 is said to be different from ordinary people on the World Honored One. One of the 32 physical characteristics, representing infinite Buddha wisdom, although the total feeling is 2333333)

Seven, nine characters, early nine characters

,Soldiers,,all,,,,line up,in front!

(You should be able to understand traditional Chinese characters 2333)

The purification spell that Natsume used during the exam is a spell that many people are familiar with. According to Japanese legend, it was brought to Japan by Master Ashiya Michuman (the life-long rival of the great Onmyoji Abe Seimei. Abe belongs to the official Onmyo Ryo, while Michoman is a so-called wild master and does not belong to the imperial court). Therefore, it is included in Japan. This is the path of cultivation often practiced by people in the mountains and forests. Just like the five-pointed star Seimei Platycodon Seal is the symbol of Abe Seimei, the five rows, four columns and nine lines of the Zaojiu pattern are also the symbol of Doman.

In this chapter, many people pointed out that "all arrays (arrays) should be moved forward!" and so on. I have sorted out these opinions.

Nine characters were first seen in Ge Hong's "Baopuzi Neipian Dengshe". It is a technique to protect yourself and ward off evil spirits when entering the mountains and forests. It is called "Liujia Secret Blessing". The original sentence is indeed "all march forward in formation". Then, in Japan, there are also two different sayings. One is Shingon Buddhism (also known as Eastern Secret Buddhism, which belongs to Tantric Buddhism), which chants "all in array"; the other is Tendai Buddhism, which was directly introduced to Japan from China. (That is, it was passed down by Chinese monks, and the Shingon sect was propagated in Japan after Kukai studied the Dharma in China and added his own understanding.) What is recited is "all march forward in array." It can be seen that "all march forward in array" is indeed the original solution, and "all in array" is a mistranslation. As for the so-called "all arrays go forward", Wikipedia says that it is because word editing documents will automatically convert "array" into "array", which leads to misinformation (Pfft.jpg).

Jiuzi has different usages of Jiuzi and Zaojiu, which are also shown in the original animation. The former is more complicated to pronounce a word and form a mudra. You can search for the mudra by yourself. The latter is simple. To form a knife mudra, from the upper left to the lower right, first draw a horizontal line and then a vertical line. Say a word and draw a line, and finally draw a horizontal line. Five wires, four wires vertically.

8. Seed word

(1) Azi Guan and the Seed Characters of the Great Sun Tathagata

Luo Zhen let Crow Feather possess him and purify himself through meditation.

"Azi Guan" comes from the mantra of the Great Sun Tathagata of Buddhist Tantric Buddhism. "Ah" is the seed character of Mahavatha Tathagata. The seed character means that the Buddha can emerge from it and contains all the mysteries of the Buddha. Therefore, visualizing this seed character is to visualize the Tathagata Mahavamapara, using Buddha's wisdom and power to resist the internal and external. The erosion of both worlds. There are many places in the Mahavairocana describing this kind of power, such as "As the Azimen says, all dharma is not born", "If you turn the Azi before, you will become the Mahavairocan" and so on.

When Luo Zhen used Azi Guan, he formed the Dharma Realm Seal, which is also the mudra of the Great Sun Tathagata in the Womb Realm. It has the appearance of silence and motionlessness, and is also in line with the meaning of concentrating the mind and condensing energy. Specific fingerprints can be searched on Baidu.

(2) The seed character of King Jun Tali Ming

—ウン—/“Moo!”

Jing Linglu resisted the spell used by phase4 and used the seed character of Jun Daliming King to repel it.

Jundali Mingwang, one of the five great Mingwangs, is the teaching wheel body and wrathful incarnation of the South Treasure Born Tathagata (Fudo Mingwang is also the teaching wheel body of the Great Sun Tathagata). "Jundali" means "bottle" in Sanskrit. The bottle often represents nectar in Buddhism, so it is also called "Nectar Army and Li Mingwang". "Nectar Jundali Bodhisattva's Offering, Chanting and Achievement Ritual" describes its ability to destroy demonic obstacles and use nectar to nourish practitioners who are trapped in darkness. Therefore, King Guntalimei himself is not a god who particularly focuses on attacking and exterminating demons, but as the incarnation of wrath, he naturally still possesses the ability to eliminate foreign enemies.

Then, although there seems to be no basis for it on the Japanese Wiki, because the pronunciation of Jundali is similar to the "spiral" that represents female personality in ancient Indian yoga, and the arms of the statues are wrapped with snakes, there is speculation that, Before the Buddhist image was absorbed into the mythology of ancient India, Jundali was a goddess and the concubine of Lord Shiva, and her gentle image of controlling nectar was indeed not too masculine, so. . . . . (horrified)

9. Bishamonten’s taming mantra

Aromaticニ・ソワカ!

"Nephew Sana, Boshimana, Maha, Sayiyao, Nephew, Nafu, Emperor Mahapoza, Nesaopoha."

The mantra used by Mu Mu when fighting Phase 4, praying for the protection of the God of War, and blessing it on the Demon Sword. This mantra has its source in the real Buddhist scriptures. It comes from "The Rituals of the Northern King Bishamon's Accompanying the Army to Protect the Dharma". It was translated by the eminent monk Fu Kong in the Tang Dynasty. The translation in the Tripitaka (although they are all transliterations) is:

"Desanaveshi Ramaye Maharaja Wild Medicine Gasa Dipoduo Namo Pofu Di Madarabha carries you Sahe"

Bishamonten is the protector of Buddhism and one of the four heavenly kings well-known to many people. The four heavenly kings are actually the king of hearing, the king of holding the country, the king of growth and the king of wide eyes. "Bishamonten" is the transliteration of the king of hearing. Students who have watched "Noragami" probably know that Bishamonten is also one of the seven gods of good fortune in Japanese folklore.

The reason why Bishamonten is considered the military god is because Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty believed that he had suppressed rebellions many times under his protection. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty army worshiped Bishamonten and painted his image as a flag called the "Tianwang Banner" to ensure military prosperity. After Buddhism was introduced to Japan, Kenshin Uesugi, the military god of Echigo during the Warring States Period, claimed to be the incarnation of Bishamonten, and his military flag had the word "" (ie "Bi") on it.

In addition, the image of King Tawen (i.e. Bishamonten) is holding a pagoda in his hands, which is considered to be the prototype of King Li Jing holding a pagoda. There is indeed "Nezha" among the sons of King Tawen, which is also a figure in Buddhist legends. Dharma protector.

10. Collection of Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit

When Luo Zhen is making new Crow Feather Weaving and Moon Wheel, the narrator mentions the Onmyoji classic.

The full name is "Three Kingdoms Legend Yin Yang Gui Neizhuan Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit Collection", which can be shortened to "Three Kingdoms Legend Xuanming Sutra", "Gui Nei Zhuan" or "Golden Crow Jade Rabbit Collection". This book is real and is considered to be one of the most important materials on the onmyoji that was popular in medieval Japan. Although in fact it was not necessarily written by Abe Seimei himself, but was summarized by later generations of the Tsuchimikado family (such as The Analects of Confucius was summarized by Confucius’ disciples)

The first thing I want to say is that the title of this book has a lot of origins, although there is a chapter where the word count is too much (laughs).

First is the "Three Kingdoms", which does not refer to the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The "three phases" in the original sentence means "Three Kingdoms", which means that it was introduced to Japan from India and China, referring to these three countries. This book is also referred to as "The Legend of the Three Kingdoms Xuanming Calendar". The "Xuanming Calendar" was one of the calendars used in the Tang Dynasty. It was used in China for 70 years, but in Japan it was used for a full 823 years. It is almost as old as ancient Japanese astronomy. Calendar symbol. This calendar was used in Japan before Seimei was born, and he was an expert in astronomical calendars (historically), so he got this abbreviation.

Then, "yin and yang" (if there is a typo here, it is divided into two), "" is the metal sleeve on the wheel hub, "" refers to "Yin Yang", the original meaning is the thing worn on the hub axle to prevent the wheel from falling off The small iron rods, taken together, symbolize control (the stability of the car), which means "governance". Then, (the glyph is Zhufu Pan, fu) and Gui (the glyph is Zhugen Pan, gui) are ritual vessels used to hold millet, rice, and rice during ancient Chinese sacrifices, indicating that the content originated from ancient Chinese sacrifices and hexagram performances. wait. In addition, the literal meaning of "Neizhuan" has been explained by "Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit" Ruqing.

Regarding the content, "The Collection of Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit" has a total of 5 volumes. The first volume tells the legendary story of the origin of the Bull-headed King and the good and bad relationships between the eight directions; the second volume talks about the bad and bad luck of the calendar, including the five elements and the heavenly stems and earthly branches. The third volume covers Chinese myths and legends starting from the creation of the world by Pangu; the third volume covers other theories of the five elements, yin and yang, and bad luck, including music, fortune telling, etc.; the fourth volume covers the content of Feng Shui and architecture; the fifth volume covers the astrology of Esoteric Buddhism Techniques mainly come from Buddhist content rather than Chinese content.

Many people may not know much about the Bull-headed King in the first volume. The Bull-headed King is the son of the Buta King, Susano'o, and was visited by the Medicine Buddha. Because his head is a bull's head, no girls like it (Gan, why do I have knees (Hit by an arrow), and thus embarked on a journey to find his wife. On the way, he taught the people the method of protecting the talisman of the future. He married a wife and gave birth to seven boys and one girl. The children guarded the eight directions, so they explained the good and bad luck of the directions. First, I told the story of the Bull-Headed King. In fgo, Minamoto Yorimitsu is the incarnation of the Bull-headed King (written in part f/a in Direct Death), and the Bull-headed King and Emperor Shakten (i.e. Indra) were gradually confused in later legends.

11. "Kojiki" and Japanese Mythology (1)

"When Fangtiandi first emerged, he became a god in Gaotian"

"His name is the Lord God of Heaven"

"Second, Gao Yushengneso Sun God"

"Second, the God of the Nest Sun God"

"These three pillars of gods are all sitting alone and invisible."

The incantation recited by Luo Zhen to summon the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit comes from the "Kojiki" and does not appear in the original Tokyo Crow. It is Ruqing's own initiative. (By the way, everyone knows where the adapted version of the Heroic Spirit Contract spell that was recited later came from, so I won’t go into details.)

"Kojiki" was written in 712 AD. It is Japan's first historical book. Its content can be divided into "Honci" and "Teiki". The latter is about the history of the emperors of the past; the former is about Japan. Prehistoric myths and legends.

What Luo Zhen was thinking of was the beginning of Kojiki, which tells the story of Japanese mythology, when the heaven and earth were opened, three gods were born one after another, and then hid themselves in Takamagahara. Takamagahara is the heaven in Japanese mythology.

These gods who were born when the heaven and earth were opened are called "other gods"; those born after that are called the "seven generations of gods", including Izanagi and Izanami. These gods also slowly retired; and after that, Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Susano'o (Suzhan Mingzun) and other subsequent main gods were born. This is actually very similar to Greek mythology. First the first generation (Earth Mother Goddess Gaia, Abyss Giant Tartarus, etc.) and the second generation (Cronos, etc.) exited the stage, and then the third generation (Zeus, etc.) became Lord God.

Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi and Susanoo are the most important gods in Japanese mythology. They were both born from Izanagi and Izanami. The brother and sister stories of Izanagi and Izanami (dense fog) can be searched by yourself, which is quite curious (sure). What I want to say is that according to legend, the ancestors of the Japanese royal family are the children of Susanoo and Amaterasu (both Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi are female!), so the Japanese royal family once claimed to be the descendants of gods, and the Japanese believe that in their families My children have two sisters and one brother, which is more auspicious, and they probably come from here.

As for the relationship between these gods and the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit, to be honest, it is not too big. After all, the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit is strictly a Chinese mythical beast. Although the messenger of Amaterasu (the sun god) in Japanese mythology is the Yata Crow, this is obviously Taken from Chinese mythology. But unfortunately, it is difficult to find descriptions related to the moon in Chinese mythology such as "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". In addition, if you choose "Kojiki", you may also be targeting Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi as goddesses (laughs)

12. The art of supreme evil and Japanese mythology (2)

High Tian Yuan Tian つ Zhu の Tai Zhu Chi ち Add む ん で む. 祓えい清めう

I wish you the best. 祓えい清めう

"With the blessings of the gods of Gao Tianyuan, the evil will purify all things."

"Gao Tianyuan Er Xuantian's congratulations are too congratulatory to swallow up the sins in the world and purify the body and mind."

The most powerful one used in Shinto spells is called Mogami Haru in the original work of Tokyo Crow. Luo Zhen is used to calm the huge spiritual energy shock when the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit descends. The two Japanese mantras I listed are the same sentence, expressed in kanji and kana respectively. However, the original text I saw was not translated. This is the first time I saw the translated version 23333 on Ruqing. I wonder if there is a source for Ruqing’s translation

This incantation is simplified by the daiji passed down through the ages in Japan. The daiji is a congratulatory message for ancient Japanese Shinto rituals. It is recorded in the literature that it was used in the June Hui Dazhong, and it is still held in the main hall of the Japanese Royal Shrine. The content of the congratulatory speech is to first tell the legendary story of the emperor's arrival in Japan, then list the crimes committed called Tianjin sins and Guojin sins (it has nothing to do with Tianjin), and finally talk about how to get rid of filth, and the gods who specialize in evil. A sight that makes filth disappear.

Speaking of the so-called Tianjin crime, Kokujin crime, Kokujin crime refers to the crimes committed by people, while Tianjin crime is related to mythology, because Susano'o, the ancestor of the Japanese royal family, once made a very naughty scene in heaven, so he was killed by his sister. Amaterasu was banished to the lower world (he did very funny things, such as defecating on the roof), so this sin also needs to be eliminated by his people in the lower world.

Speaking of the incantation itself, the "holding and adding むんでむ" means "swallowing the sins in the world", which refers to the "Kibuki householder", one of the gods responsible for evil spirits, who sucks away the sins in the world and then blows them with his breath. The Country of Roots is also the underworld. Is this a garbage dump? (laughs); and the so-called "Heaven's Blessings Too Blessings", according to the Japanese official explanation, refers to the entire blessing itself, and has no other meaning.

13. Immortal Taoism - Fighting Cows Across the Mountain

あんたりをん、そくめつそく、びらりやびらり、そくめつめい、ざんざんきめい、ざんきせい、ざんだりひおん、しかんしきじん、あたらうん、をんぜそ、ざんざんびらり、あうん, ぜつめい, そくぜつ, うん, ざんざんだり, ざんだりはんっ!

"In the dimness, the clouds and candles flicker and flicker, swaying unsteadily, with flickering life, fierce life, and splashing momentum. In the swaying, the meditation formation, swaying violently, ah, the life is cut off, the brightness and extinction are interrupted!"

Luo Zhen's spell to instantly kill Jing Linglu was a spell from the immortal Tao system. In the original work, Teacher Dayo also used this move against Master Daoman, but because this move was specifically targeted at humans and had little effect on spirits, Master Daoman was not seriously injured (although his clothes were in tatters).

Shintoism not only contains content about Japanese mythology, but also absorbs a lot of content from Taoism. The part about becoming an immortal can be called the Tao of Immortals. There are still Shinsendo in Japan, the most famous of which is "Miyachi Shinsendo" (or "Miyachi Suikai"), which is currently the fifth generation. The first leader, Miyachi Suikai, is said to have disintegrated into an immortal in 1907 ( laugh).

And this spell, in Japanese, is called the に人をさせる法, which is "a long-range attack method that makes the person sitting opposite become angry". Legend has it that it is the water level of the palace, and it was created by the Japanese Tengu leader Sugiyama Monmasa (Tengu was once regarded as Monster, later regarded as a mountain god and widely worshiped). Thinking about it this way, this spell doesn’t seem to be that big of a deal (laughs), after all, it’s so recent.

By the way, this translation is not a literal translation, but a free translation, but the translation team translated it into a four-character short poem, which is very atmospheric, so special thanks to the Qingguo translation team.

14. The Great Mighty Virtue

——オンキリクシュチリビキリタダノウウンサラバシャトロダシャヤサタンバヤサタンバヤソハタソハタソワカ——オンシュチリキャラロハウンケンソワカ——

"He Li Se Ji Li Wei End Li Dona Hu Safu She Tuo Lun Hua She Ye Sai Dan Po Ye Sai Po Ye Suo Po Zha Suo Po Zha Suo He Se Zhi Jia Lu Lai owes Sa He"

One of the most powerful spells in the pan-style, it uses the power of the mighty Deming King to suppress and subjugate enemies. When activated, a large single seal is formed.

According to common sense, multiple Onmyoji must form a five-pointed star formation using the Goma Altar in five directions before it can be used. In the original work, after Teacher Otomo discovered that Doman was not a human being, he activated the demons that were ambushing on the roofs of five nearby buildings. The troops, as well as the Humo altar set up in advance, severely damaged Daoman. When Luo Zhen faced the "Fire Demon" Gongji Panfu, he activated it alone by guiding the flames released by the opponent and Beidou's guidance.

The original sentence comes from the Buddhist scripture "Holy Yamaman Dejiawei Nu King Licheng Great God Experience Chanting Method". The dash indicates that it is a combination of two mantras. The first sentence of the dash is called "The Great Heart Mantra" in the scriptures, and the latter sentence is called "Heart Center" Dharma mantra".

As for the so-called Huma Altar, it is also recorded in the scriptures, and different altars need to be prepared for different effects. For example, if you want to win a war, "Take one hundred and eight thatch leaves. Twelve fingers long. Sesame oil triangle furnace" Burn the thorns and firewood in the middle. Protect it for seven nights. Recite the mantra one hundred and eight times. Name the general in the mantra." When you want evil people to stay away, "take one hundred and eight black wings. Burn mustard oil in a triangular furnace. . The thorns make the firewood. Protect it for one night. Name that person in the mantra. Throw it into the fire again and again."

By the way, the steps described in the scriptures require you to recite the name of the person you want to cast a spell on. If you want to win, you must recite the name of the opponent's general, etc. This seems to be close to a curse (laughs)

15. The mantra of the great mighty Deming King, the great mighty Deming king

オンアクウン!

"The Dharma of Homo to expel evil spirits"

Luo Zhen finally restrained himself from activating the powerful mantra. In the original work, Teacher Dayou used this mantra to bless himself and knocked Dao Man off the roof. This translation was made by the Qingguo translation team. In fact, it does not translate the meaning. It just expresses the effect of the spell and means that in order to overcome evil spirits, the power of the mighty King Deming is used.

Like the incantations of the Great Powerful Virtue, they all come from the "Recitation Method of Holy Yamaman Deka Powerful Wrath King to establish the Great God", which is called "Three-Character Ming Mantras Distributed Everywhere One by One", and the transliteration given is "Evil ”, and described it as being able to “give this blessing to achieve enlightenment”. The part of the Yamantaka Dharma mainly introduces the rituals in reality. Here we introduce the Yamantaka King himself.

First of all, the "Yamman Deka" in the title of the sutra is the transliteration of the Sanskrit name of the great mighty Deming King, which means "the Lord who subdues Yama", indicating that he has the power to overcome death. It is regarded as having the power to subdue evil dragons, demons, enemies, etc. Because of its power to subjugate demons, it is called "Great Power", and because it subdues demons to protect practitioners, it is called "De", so it is called "Great Power". King Wei Deming" (this is a translation from Tibetan Buddhism).

Then, in Eastern Tantra (Japanese Buddhism), King Yamantaka is one of the five great kings, guarding the west, and is the incarnation of Amitabha; while in Tibetan Buddhism, King Yamantaka is regarded as the incarnation of Manjushri Bodhisattva. Since the Heian period in Japan, people have often worshiped him to seek victory in wars, subdue evil spirits, etc. Its image is six-faced, six-armed and six-legged and riding a buffalo. The six faces represent the six realms of heaven, humans, asuras, animals, hungry ghosts, and hell. The six arms hold halberds, bows, ropes, swords, arrows, and treasure sticks. Riding a green bull is because he is the surrenderer of Yama. , expressing the pride and cruelty of surrendering Yama.

Finally, by the way, "Yama" refers to Yama, the ruler of the "Fire Motian" in the twelve heavens. He himself is the god of death in Indian Vedic mythology and the son of the sun god Surya. In other words, theoretically He is the half-brother of Little Sun, but Kunti, the mother of Little Sun, also gave birth to Jianzhan, the eldest brother of the five sons of Pandavas, with Yanmo, so I don’t know whether he is an uncle or an elder brother (laughs)
