How Could There Be Ghost Stories in Edo?

It's a detective story with a supernatural background. It's similar to a fictional reasoning, so it's just a bit of a mouthful. However, it's quite exciting. Come on.

Read the free part in one go and tell me your thoughts The biggest feeling is to recognize the author's self-promotion in the acceptance speech: This is indeed a book with a very high level both in terms of content and author However, Well, I am afraid of buts in everything, but I want to explain that my "buts" have nothing to do with the above-mentioned recognition of the author and the level of the book. After all, even a state banquet chef can only make excellent potato dishes when faced with potatoes, but he cannot make steaks, right? So this "but" is only related to the subject matter limitations of the book itself, and does not affect the fact that the author is of high standard. However, the subject matter limitation of this book is that it requires the protagonist to eliminate the mystery rather than promote it. You must know that in the current novels based on the earth background and with mysterious elements, the protagonists all pursue the route of pursuing mystery: even if it is originally a world without magic, they insist on creating mystery through Goldfinger. This is not written like this in one or two books, but a historical trend under this setting framework. The protagonist uses reality to cover up and eliminate the mystery. There is no doubt that this is an option that goes against the historical trend (of the same type of web novel). As we all know, going against the trend will result in half the effort. It is unknown what impact it will have on possible IP adaptations, but it will definitely have an impact on the performance of the novel. It would be fine if the protagonist said one thing and did another, eliminating the mystery on the surface and practicing secretly, but the protagonist of this book is determined to dig up all the mysterious ancestral graves. In other words, the better the writing, the further away from the historical tide! Personally, I think this is an important reason why this book has not yet become a high-quality product. I don't know how the author plans to deal with this problem in the future. Will it completely resolve the mystery, or will there be a twist in the route?

Come on (ง •̀_•́)ง, when you look at the content of this book, you will be amazing in the later stage, good guy. Come on, I will secretly support you 🙂🙂

The map will be changed in the plot in the near future, so I would like to take this opportunity to popularize (complain) about Japanese history. I rely on my memory to catch fish at work by hand, and I am sure I will point out my mistakes. 1. Parallel official position system in ancient Japan Since the end of the 12th century, when the Kamakura shogunate established the samurai regime that maintained its rule by force, Japan has formed a useless official position system centered on the "court" and a real-power shogunate official position system centered on the "general". The two do not affect each other, but it is obvious that the latter can use force to coerce the former, and the one with the sword is the boss. The name of the "public family" public ministers, nobles and court officials system headed by the emperor is more familiar to us. It has grades (salary) and official positions (services). We can roughly think of the ranks as ranging from "nine positions" to "one rank" and grades. Quite, but unlike ancient China, the Japanese imperial court quickly degenerated after the reforms of the Tang Dynasty. The functional institutions that were originally used to form the government became controlled by the family of the noble family. After losing power, the imperial court system in Kyoto gradually turned into a small circle game, and the nobles were useless. Locally, the rule of the public family is realized through the "Guo Si". Under the Guo Si there are County Sis, forming a familiar county-like system. The chief military and political officer in the state department is called "xx Shou", which is the concept of "shou" in the public system. Please note the difference with the following. In short, when the public family loses power and the legal system collapses, the state department cannot be maintained, and the official position gradually becomes a noble identity card without actual function. The "shogunate" of the samurai family built on the basis of the force of the "general who conquered the barbarians" is relatively uncomplicated. According to its original intention, the shogunate was actually a marching organization, and the positions in it were all ministerial positions. The relationship between the Sengoku daimyo's "ashigaru, ashigaru head, shogun, and family elder" was not a promotion relationship, but a difference in strength and seniority. Just like a soldier with only one company could be a commander, these ranks were only valid in this force. In other families, they would change depending on the soldiers and the food, so they had no comparative value. At the end of the 12th century, the Kamakura shogunate established a feudal public service system. The shogunate assigned members of his faction to local areas in the name of "rebellion" and forced the central court to recognize its legitimacy. The position responsible for military security was called "guardian", which was not the same as the "guardian" of the public family under the legal system. Only the samurai who are closest to the general by blood or name are eligible to hold positions in the samurai family system. The positions close to the generals in later generations ("Five big men and five followers can be chosen at will") are the benefits that only family members of the generation can have. I just didn't expect that the Genji's Kamakura shogunate collapsed even faster than the public family's decline, and the heirs were extinct in less than thirty years. From then on, it became a situation where the shogun was evading the emperor, and the Hojo clan was evading the shogun. Under this abnormal political structure, the "local leaders, guardians, and leaders" in various places quickly became local powerful factions, and the military and government took control. The imperial guardianship and the shogunate's guardianship powers overlapped, and sometimes they were simply one person. With the "Shiqing Shilu", the official position of the samurai family gradually became the identity card of the nobles. 2. Guardian Dai, Temple Power and "Noble Origin" The Guardian Dai is actually the position of "Acting Official" that appears in the novel. It has no rank, but he represents the administrative power of the master's family in the fief, so he has a high and powerful position, while other official positions in the court are add-ons. In the Warring States Period, you had to be a vassal of the samurai lord in name before you could serve as an official. Otherwise, wouldn't you be afraid of running away with your money if you were not a relative? With the development of the culture of lowering the upper class, in Japan's Warring States Period, this kind of situation where the guardians were more powerful than the guardians was inevitable. Various local powerful people used the name of the guardians to grab territory, and self-proclaimed and self-built began. Japan is an island country with prosperous religions. However, Buddhism is prosperous and has nothing to do with Onmyoji. Japan's modern Shinto religion is a modern product and has little to do with Onmyoji. So what is Onmyoji? Onmyoji is an official in the public court system. It is functionally equivalent to the Imperial Heavenly Prison in ancient my country. It is an institution used to explain celestial phenomena, suppress folk obscene worship, and control public opinion during the period when the emperor was in power. Its chief officer is the Seventh Chief or the Seventh Cong (not necessarily). During the period when the shogunate came to power, its functionality had declined. First, the samurai masters basically had family temples, and the central onmyoji did not have such a strong voice in the local area. Second, with the prosperity of Buddhism, it could no longer control the power of religious interpretation. Temple forces connected with the government began to become wealthy in various countries by relying on their economic privileges, but this has nothing to do with our protagonist's Onmyoji group. Local tycoons from all walks of life who grew up barbarically in the local area have risen one after another. After gaining enough power, they began to seek support for the legitimacy of their own regime. Some reincarnated ancestors had served as servants for nobles (often old samurai families), so these old samurai families who had degenerated into ministers were squeezed out and appointed themselves as guardians. This method is not very persuasive, and there is a risk of being beaten back by someone making excuses, and the person is not that good of a family. So how can we reduce the risk and how to do it? Recognize your father/recognize your ancestors. The typical example of the former is Uesugi Kenshin (Nagao Kagetora), who changed his family name (surname) in order to inherit the position of the Kanto governor (nominally the leader of the Kanto samurai); there are too many of the latter, and the great names of the Warring States Period are basically suspected of tampering with family trees. Among them, the most similar situation to the protagonist is the Oda family. Their ancestors are the Echizen priest family. Legend has it that the priest of the Echizen Shrine went to Omi Province and "specifically" wanted a descendant of the Taira family to inherit the shrine... I understand everything. So in Japan at that time, if you wanted to become a noble, you had to be a samurai first. If you wanted to become a great noble, then no matter where you were originally born, you had to prove that you were a descendant of Genpei. Of course, it was better to be a descendant of the Emperor. 3. Complaints The above irresponsible remarks are intended to explain the ancient Japanese official system to everyone, but at the end of the Tokugawa period where the novel is located, these are all gone. The decay of the Tokugawa shogunate is on par with the farcical aristocratic republic of the Qing Dynasty. Classes are completely solidified. The great samurai families completely control all resources, but are stingy about allocating positions. All systems are involution. The ministers only play ranking games with the ministers, and the feudal lords only play ranking games with the feudal lords. Ordinary samurai have no room to play. There is not much room for survival. Regardless of the civilian class, the entire society is on a powder keg. In terms of plot, the protagonist, as an onmyoji, is undoubtedly a member of the public system, but the identity of an onmyoji is special. It has a religious identity endowed by acquired legends, and in many cases it is a gold medal to avoid death. The point of so many complaints mentioned above is not the random refresh of Western celebrities in Japan and the routine fishing experience, but the protagonist's official position setting is too childish. In the public system, the position has reached the rank of judge (five official positions), and in the military system, the position of guardian has been reached. In Japan, where official positions have been knighted, there are only seven official positions as an onmyoji in the end, and onmyoji can only be in the onmyoji system. Qin Ming was promoted in an unusual way. In addition, how can Onmyoji hold a high-ranking official position (deputy position with real power) if he does not have a status as a martial artist? Could it be that Qin Ming's true identity is actually Tokugawa Shigemo's brother and Tokugawa Kihi's eldest nephew (laughing)? To make a comparison, Shingen, the protagonist of Koshu Treasures, was ranked "from the fourth position to Shinano Mamoru" when he died, while his arch-rival Kagetora was only ranked "from the fifth position to Shobi". Just talking about being an official in Qin Ming Dynasty, this story is: "A young man from the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Committee/Observatory, working in the career department, was transferred to a certain official position in the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission because of his outstanding case handling (?), And then was awarded a deputy position in the military region because of the need for a business trip." This is the silly elder sister singing - outrageous. Having said that, the details are also set up to serve the plot. In ancient Japanese society, there does not seem to be any temporary position of "imperial envoy". After all, Mito Huangmen's ability to show off is not due to his position as Huangmenlang, and because he is the general's uncle (...). The protagonist's current official position is actually not as useful as 🐭🐭, at least he can still possess extraordinary powers. The public court official system has been useless for so many years except to show nobility. There are acting officials, but it is of no use if the guardian deputy has been gone for many years. It can only be said that the shogunate is indeed corrupt. These two positions can indeed arouse the anger of the two vested interest systems. Qin Ming passively came to the forefront of the times. Don't change it, author, I'm just speaking out of my feelings. You will definitely write better and better

Song Jiang: My dear brother Qin Ming, why did you abandon your brother and become a magician in Japan? But brother, what did I do that made me angry? Come back to the mountain with your brother. Coach Lin and that black guy Li Kui miss you dearly.

I never follow new books by eunuch authors. Because the new book will basically include eunuchs at the end. Of course, it could also be a hasty ending.

The biggest ghost in Japan is this, right?

The setting is quite fun, but there's nothing exciting about it. After all, the main plot is to refute rumors, not to catch monsters 😂

The classification of this book confuses me. With such a good subject matter and the Japanese weird content involved in it, if it is classified as a two-dimensional light novel, it should be very popular.

You... I won't read your books anymore

According to the current way of writing, it's really good. It's really hard to find good books nowadays. Many books can't be read halfway through. . .

It's a pity. The theme and creativity are good, but it's the eunuch.

Can you believe it, he went back to write about the faint king

If it is true that people's beliefs can be turned into reality, then there are actually many operations that can be done. Others can create monsters, but you can't spread legends to create something beneficial to yourself? Just spread some legends and say that the reason why Qin Ming is so awesome is because he has a divine general who protects the law, a god descends to the earth, and so on. So judging from the situation in this world, as long as enough people believe it, then there will really be a protector in him to protect him.

The protagonist is 179 and only 58 kilograms? One bamboo pole

Qin Ming

I think this book is better than King Zhou😳😳Maybe the author prepared it very carefully, and it looks very interesting. I like this book very much, but I just want to make a suggestion. Don't post some of the scary reference pictures. Or give me a warning... I was shocked by the mask I am also looking forward to the King Zhou book! I hope I can see the completion of the book when the author returns to normal.

Everyone who keeps books should read more of the latest chapters to keep up the reading rate. Thank you 🙂

How could there be ghost stories in Edo? It will be on the shelves today. I hope everyone can come and support Xianhuo and make an initial order. There will be more updates after it is put on the shelves.
