I’m Really Unnerved In Tokyo - Chapter 1010

“I don’t know if faith can generate electricity, but Aum Shinrikyo wants to use this ‘Hundred Ghosts Reality Show’ to earn a small abacus of faith, and it shouldn’t be a big deal now…”

Obviously talking about ghosts and gods, Hanyu Mai’s tone is like gossip “The experimental mouse No. 3 shows no phenomenon”: “Because, this genius has already cracked the most crucial medium of the ‘belief transmission formula’, and typed it in advance. Wang fried!”

“Faith transmission formula? Medium? Wang Zhan? What are you talking about, old lady…”

Hou Hai Lu Dou was confused when he heard these many obscure words.

“If I guessed correctly, Aum Shinrikyo will broadcast the ‘self-destruction conspiracy’ early in the morning in order to lock the coordinates for the next ‘faith transmission’…”

Without any explanation for the two “stupid humans” in front of him, Hanyu Mai still said to herself: “And the most crucial medium for the transmission of faith is the name!”

“Name… So, Dr. Hanyu, you deliberately asked me not to mention the names of those ghosts and use the slang term ‘XX-type hidden energy field life form’, is it for…”

Oida Yuan, who was beside him, seemed to understand what Hanyu Mai meant.

“Yes, worthy of being a famous ‘spirit explorer’, he is surprisingly keen in this regard… No matter what kind of mythology and legend it is in, ‘name’ seems to have important meanings for these supernatural beings.”

A rare compliment to Oida Yuan, “Dr. Hanyu” held his head in his hands and gave the two of them a lesson with great interest: “According to the ‘testimonies’ of the ghosts and gods who were slumbered ‘became a Buddha’ and ascended to heaven, combined with the research I have been studying The ‘Transmission Theory of Belief’…”

“‘Name’ and ‘image’ may play functions similar to ‘media’ and ‘coordinate’ in the process of illusory belief transmission.”

“Based on this, it is deduced that, whether gods or ghosts, if ‘lost name’ or ‘distorted image’ is equivalent to severing faith, then it is forgotten in the long river of time, weakly waiting to die.”

“Meaning, without the correct name and image, those guys can’t receive any beliefs and can only wait to die? Old lady, your ‘assumption’ is too illusory…”

Rubbing his tired cheeks, Hou Hai Lu Dou still felt that this “belief transmission theory” was too unreliable: “If it was so easy to make those ghosts and gods disappear, it wouldn’t have to wait until today, right?”

“Hey, my theory isn’t completely a castle in the air. Before science can be traced back to its origin, the ‘metaphysics’ that people have paid for and accumulated experience to gain often go ahead.”

“The battle between gods and Buddhas, Hundred Demons’ Night Walk, the Shimabara Rebellion, the Battle of Crossing the Island… From the perspective of the ‘War of Faith’ throughout the history of Japan, it is not only the agents of the ‘gods’ who fought each other for ‘belief’ The ‘Battle Record’ is also a “Practical Guidebook for Faith Wars” in every detail.”

Looking back on the **** and chaotic history of Japan for thousands of years in her mind, Hanyu Mai showed a subtle smile: “No, it’s not just as simple as a ‘guide’! Some ancient existences have already played with this set. It’s… local trails, have you heard of it?”

“Native Drift?”

After laboriously searching for this word in his mind, Hou Hai Lu Dou rolled his eyes subconsciously: “Is it the ancient ‘confusion of gods and Buddhas’, ‘the combination of gods and Buddhas’, and ‘sacres of the gods’?”

During the Asuka era in the 6th century AD, Buddhism was introduced to Japan from the Dragon Kingdom, and under the promotion of the ruling class headed by Prince Shotoku, the “reincarnated holy monk”, it became the “religion of the country” in Japan at that time.

However, Shintoism, which was born in the local area, has become a vassal of Buddhism for a while because it lacks a systematic scripture and a complete organization.

After that, Buddhism even pushed the nose to the face, and used the hands of the royal family to promote the “local deeds” theory of “Buddha masters and gods”.

The local deity means that the Buddha or Bodhisattva is declared to be “local”, while the gods worshipped by Japanese Shintoism are the “dangji” of the Buddha or the bodhisattva, and the local gods of Japan are regarded as the guardian deities of Buddhism. For example, the Tendai sect reveres the “Hieri Mountain King” as the relic of “Sakyamuni Buddha”, and the Shingon sect reveres the “Amaterasu God” and “The Great God of Harvest” enshrined in the Ise Shrine as the relic of “Dainichi Tathagata”, etc. .

In the Nara period, they even began to build new temples in the shrines and renamed them Jinguji. Not only did they enshrine the unity of gods and Buddhas at the same time, but they also declared that the “guardian gods” of other countries, shrines, and families had given up their gods and practiced Buddhism in order to seek liberation. .

During the period, Shintoism also gave birth to many theories such as “God is local, Buddha is false”, “Retro Shinto”, which advocated a complete break between God and Buddha, and many other theories. Very little.

It was not until the first year of the Meiji era that the imperial family who regained power in order to demonstrate the divine might of the emperor and to support Shintoism as the state religion issued a “decree on the separation of gods and Buddhas”, which triggered the “abolition of Buddhas” movement, resulting in the destruction of a large number of Buddhist statues in Buddhist temples and the forced return of monks to the secular world. This has drawn an end to the “confusion of gods and Buddhas” that has been going on for hundreds of years and forcibly combined gods and Buddhas into the same belief system.

“It doesn’t matter whether that Prince Shotoku is really a reincarnated holy monk, but this move of ‘local deeds’, in the ancient times when information was blocked and relied on word of mouth, was simply a great move in the war of faith!”

Mentioning this saint, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is as conceited as Hanyu Mai and has to admire: “Not only did the ‘god’ who was originally listed with the ‘Buddha’ be forcibly downgraded, but also the belief that belonged to Shintoism was transferred to Buddhism. In his body, Buddhism, which originally belonged to the domain religion, flourished in Japan for thousands of years, and because of this, he himself was believed by later generations as ‘Japanese Sakyamuni’.”

“So, Dr. Hanyu, you made Araki-kun dress up as a ‘Ghost Rider’, and you are doing this live broadcast to remove spirits, just to imitate Prince Shotoku and do a ‘drawing from the bottom of the pot’, so that the people believe that the ‘Ghost Rider’ will definitely defeat those The ‘hidden energy field lifeform’ of the ‘lost name’?”

Looking at the dark and gloomy city outside the room, Oida Yuan subconsciously tightened his jacket: “But, in this situation, I don’t see where our chances of winning are at all?”

“Hmph, throughout history, back-to-back is only the cornerstone of the victory of the war of belief, and the decisive one is the part that will start next…”

“Next, to start… which part?”

“Of course, let’s see whose ‘agent’ is thicker, stronger, more durable and capable…”

Having said that, Hanyu Mai grabbed the blanket on the side and wrapped it around her, as if she wanted to sleep more comfortably.
