A samurai who doesn't want to be a daimyo is not a good onmyoji

Chapter 10
Looking at Miyabe Tsurujun who was full of joy, Shinkuro smiled a little in his heart. This guy was smarter than he thought.

During the Warring States Period, which lasted for hundreds of years, Nippon was full of people everywhere.

For the sake of power, wealth and status, or simply for some minor disputes, sons kill their fathers, ministers rebel against the king, brothers and sisters kill each other, and the list goes on and on.

Therefore, even if Miyabe Jirun declares his allegiance to him on the spot and becomes his retainer, he will never be able to trust him 100%. This is something both parties know very well.

But if he worships himself as his master, it will be completely different. The relationship between master and disciple is to some extent closer than the above-mentioned relationships.

Now Shinkuro can safely drive the other party without worrying that he has any different intentions, because once Miyabe Tsugujun, his apprentice, betrays him, he will have no place in the entire Nippon.

Of course, there is an exception, that is, Miyabe Jijun was already powerful enough at that time, even more powerful than Shinkuro himself, so naturally it was not considered a betrayal.

In this chaotic Warring States era, everyone has a common consciousness, that is, it is natural for the strong to replace the weak.

It's just that Shinkuro will never give Miyabe Jijun this chance.

Shinkuro accepted the other party's kowtow very calmly. This is a part of etiquette and an important process of confirming each other's identity. Naturally, it cannot be omitted.

"Okay, Jirun, then I will accept you as my apprentice."

Miyabe Jirun immediately kowtowed in ecstasy: "Jirun pays homage to Master!"

Shinkuro smiled slightly and continued: "I received the inheritance from Lord Seimei, which is divided into five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as the art of wind and thunder. In addition, there are many types such as channeling, alchemy, and spells. I don’t know which one you want to learn?”

The fact is of course more than that. Abe Seimei's inheritance also includes a lot of astronomy, geography, astrology, Jiugong, Bagua, and even the Book of Changes. It is said that Abe Seimei went to the Cathay Empire to learn it when he was young, but of course Shinkuro cannot do it all at once. Leave it to the other party, not to mention that the other party won't be able to learn that much at once.

Upon hearing what Shinkuro said, Miyabe Jijun became even more excited. He said cautiously: "Master, poor monk, ah no, my disciple is stupid and has never been exposed to Yin and Yang magic before. What do you think my disciple should do?" What should we learn first?”

Although Shinkuro is only 15 years old now, and Miyabe Tsugujun himself is already married and has given birth to a child. He is a young man in his thirties this year and is more than twice as old as Shinkuro. I didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed at the time.

Shinkuro nodded and thought for a moment: "The Five Elements and Wind and Thunder techniques are all about personal talent. You can gradually find out what suits you best in the future learning process, and then study them."

"If you want to learn alchemy, you need to first learn to be familiar with the properties of the medicine, and it is best to practice fire-attribute spells. The two complement each other." "If it is about spells, you also need to have basic magic power first, and then learn. "

"By the way, are you familiar with Zhouyi, Liuren, Dunjia and Jiugong Bagua? If you want to study talismans intensively, you need to master these in advance."

When Miyabe Tsumugi heard this, he immediately got a big headache. He is a monk by profession and only knows a few scriptures. Especially after leaving Mount Hiei, he was busy learning various internal affairs things every day in order to create and develop. Miyabe Castle was preparing, and a lot of his original studies were wasted. How could he know so much?

He immediately shook his head and said: "Master, my disciple is stupid. Most of these things that came from Cathay are not understood by me. It is even said that Duke Qingming once went to Cathay to practice in person, so he could achieve such great achievements. Disciple really doesn’t have that talent.”

Shinkuro felt relieved. Not to mention that Miyabe Tsurujun didn't understand. In fact, even if he accepted Abe Seimei's inheritance, he himself had many doubts, not to mention the calluses on Miyabe Tsurujun's hands. You know, he will definitely not be a monk who loves reading.

But he said that those were passed down from Aurora. Could this Aurora be the Aurora in his memory?
He secretly noted this matter in his heart, but on the surface Shinkuro frowned: "Is that so..." Seeing Shinkuro frowning, Miyabe Jijun suddenly felt bad. He quickly stood up and ran to Shinkuro in small steps. Standing beside Jiulang was: "Master, my disciple is really too stupid, but didn't you just say that there is also the art of channeling?"

He is also smart and has memorized all the types of spells, and the art of channeling is the only spell that the master did not mention just now.

Shinkuro frowned when he heard this: "Of course there are psychic techniques. This was Seimei Gong's unique skill back then. However, psychic techniques are easy to learn but difficult to master, and there are many disasters. Shikigami all have their own independence. Thoughtful.”

Shikigami Shiki, Shikiya, refers to some demons and ghosts driven by Onmyoji.

But how can these evil-natured guys be so easy to control?It's not uncommon for someone to bite the owner if they're not careful.

Therefore, Shinkuro did not regard this aspect as his first choice at first. There are kind-hearted monsters, but they are not so easy to encounter.

However, it would be great if someone would take the initiative to try it for him and give him some experience in this area.

But Miyabe Jirun didn't expect this. He just said very excitedly: "Disciple knows that Seimei Gong's twelve postures are famous all over the world. Disciple, let's learn this!"

Legend has it that Abe Seimei is the son of the demon fox and was born with the blood of the demon clan, so he and Shikigami are extraordinarily close because of this.

After going through a series of events, he conquered twelve powerful shikigami and named his shikigami according to the twelve directions on the Taiyi Rokuren shikigami plate.

Tan snake, Suzaku, Liuhe, Gouchen, Qinglong, Tianyi, Tianhou, Taiyin, Xuanwu, Baihu, Taishang and Tiantian are the twelve generals of Abe Seimei. This legend has been circulated in Nibon for hundreds of years.

Shinkuro pretended to think for a few breaths, then nodded and said: "Okay, then I will teach you the psychic technique first."

"But Jirun, you have to remember that shikigami are external forces after all and are not as reliable as your own power. Moreover, the production methods of some shikigami are slightly evil, so you have to consider it carefully."

Demons and ghosts don't exist anytime and anywhere, or they can be used as shikigami at any time, so onmyojis have developed many methods of making shikigami by themselves, and Abe Seimei, who is a great onmyoji, is naturally one of the leaders.

For example: Inugami, Guanhu, Demon Sword, etc. are basically products of this type.

Although the conditions are still very harsh and the requirements for mana are not low, these are indeed shikigami that can be actively created by Onmyoji.

Miyabe Jijun was immediately overjoyed. He finally found a way forward.

"Yes, disciple, thank you Master for your teaching!"

Although he said so in his mouth, in fact, he didn't care at all in his heart. Whether he was evil or not was not his focus at all.

In the chaotic Warring States Period, kindness and justice are useless, only strength is real!
