Tokyo: My Hundred Ghosts Scroll

Chapter 2 Iijima Snail
Iijima Snail and Yaeko have four sons and three daughters.

In addition to the youngest son who died young, there are three sons and three daughters.

The Kai Iijima mentioned by Iijima Ring is the third son and the child who inherited the most spiritual power from his father.

But he disappeared for many years, and his family thought he was dead.

In addition, Snail's eldest son and second son did not live with their father. They went out to work hard and finally chose to live in Tokyo.

Of the remaining three daughters, the eldest daughter is named Fei Iijima, who changed her surname to Hirose after she got married.

It is quite normal for Japanese women to marry and follow their husband's surname.

As the second daughter, Iijima Huan determined not to marry, but accidentally gave birth to Gu Yun, who is also the oldest boy of the third generation.

As for the youngest sister Iijima Juan, she was not married, but recruited a son-in-law under the arrangement of her father.

"Hello, Uncle."

"Gu Yunjiang, long time no see."

Takahiro Iijima, the son-in-law of the Iijima family.

His old surname is Sankami, he has a kind personality and keeps his duty, so he is very popular with Snail Iijima.

"Brother Gu Yun."

The girl who walked out of the house was Iijima Secretary, the daughter of the eldest son of the snail, Gu Yun's cousin.

Si is 6 years old this year, and because of spiritual problems, he was fostered at Iijima's house.

However, her spiritual power is relatively weak, similar to that of Gu Yun's mother.

"Xiao Si, long time no see."

The brothers and sisters of the Iijima family are very close, and they often walk around on weekdays.

This also made Gu Yun very familiar with the third generation children of the Iijima family.

"Ok?"

At this time, Gu Yun saw a small figure hiding behind the Iijima snail.

The child was young, about 4 to 5 years old.

"Ah, this is the first time Xiao Guyun sees Li."

"Lü, this is your Guyun Oni sauce."

Yaeko gently introduced the little girl in front of Gu Yun.

I saw her wearing a pink kimono and combing her hair, like a Japanese doll.

"Law, sister?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

As soon as Gu Yun finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

"Gu Yunjiang, not a younger sister, but a younger brother."

"Hey?"

Gu Yun was stunned for a moment, secretly wondering what the situation was,
younger brother.

Wear women's clothes?
If you are such a young lady, you will be a master of women's clothing, but you will be able to pay off when you grow up.

But soon, Gu Yun figured out the cause and effect.

It turns out that Ritsu Iijima, like Gu Yun, has inherited his grandfather's spiritual power and has the power to see demons and ghosts.

Therefore, in order to protect his grandson from being harassed by monsters, Snail Iijima made him wear women's clothes since he was a child, so as to avoid the prying eyes of monsters.

"Is this also possible?"

Gu Yun was stunned, he didn't expect such a showy operation at all.

At the same time, Ritsu Iijima glanced at Xiaobai next to Gu Yun.

But the child wasn't interested at all, instead he sat in a seat far away from Xiao Bai in fear.

Everyone at the dinner table didn't care about this.

Among the people present, only Iijima, Gu Yun, Snail and Ritsu could see the monster, and the others did not notice the existence of Xiaobai.

Of course, it is also possible to see it, but pretend not to see it.

For example, Gu Yun's aunt Iijima Juan, she also has the ability to see ghosts, but she is much calmer than Iijima Huan, and has long been used to ignoring ghosts and ghosts.

"Come here, Gu Yunjiang."

After a sumptuous dinner, Iijima Snail called Gu Yun to the study under Iijima Huan's worried eyes.

The snail's study is not small, but it is full of things.

All kinds of ancient books are piled up on the ground, and there is no place for messy faces to rest.

There are also cabinets filled with various items.

"grandfather."

Iijima Snail smiled gently: "You have great talent."

"I am powerful?"

Although Gu Yun has been a human being in two lifetimes, the sum of his past and present lives is only in his 20s.

What's more, it was the first time he had spiritual power.

Therefore, Gu Yun knew very little about this world, and he had to rely entirely on the guidance of the old man to understand his own situation and obtain information about this world.

"Great."

"Grandpa, are you an Onmyoji?"

Facing Gu Yun's question, Snail shook his head and said, "Ah, no, I'm not an onmyoji, I should be considered a warlock."

"Warlock? Is there any difference with Onmyoji?"

Seeing that Gu Yun seemed very interested in onmyoji, Snail explained: "Onmyoji is a profession, but not every onmyoji knows spells and can manipulate shikigami."

"how to say…"

The old man showed a kind smile, he thought for a while, and then began to explain to Gu Yun.

According to Snail's description, there are four kinds of people in this world who can communicate with the spirit world.

The first type is people like snails who have spiritual power and stand higher than demons.

They can solve all kinds of supernatural events, and their attitudes are quite strong.

"The second category is the priests in shrines and temples."

"Most of them don't have the ability to see ghosts," said the snail, "but they are blessed by the gods and can protect themselves from demons."

The position of such people is equivalent to that of demons.

Even if I can't control you, you can't hurt me either.

"The shrine is a tortoise shell, so it won't be harmed by demons?"

"Hahaha."

The snail nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, this is the position of the shrine."

Then there is the third category, who stand a little lower than the demons.

These people are collectively referred to as psychics, onmyojis, exorcists, and so on.

"Ordinary exorcists and psychics don't know how to use spells. They can only use enchantments and props to exorcise demons."

"If the demons were stronger, their lives would be in danger."

The snails when they were young belonged to this kind of people.

However, with the increase of strength, the snail can almost solve most problems.

"Finally, it's Huan, and Xiao Si."

"They can see demons and ghosts for various reasons," said the snail, "but they don't have the power to influence demons, so they can only hide in fear."

Speaking of this, the snail looked apologetic in his eyes.

That was the helplessness towards Gu Yun's mother and his children.

The blood of the Iijima family contains extraordinary spiritual power. Even in the entire spiritual world, the Iijima family is an amazing family.

But this kind of power is not complete, and it relies too much on blood.

Only children who inherit great power can become a strong man like Iijima Snail.

"what about me?"

Gu Yun asked, "Which one do I belong to?"

"Nature is the first."

Gu Yun has subdued Shikigami, and the spiritual power contained in his body is enough to learn various spells.

If he entered the circle of exorcists, he would definitely become one of the best.

"Grandpa, do monsters have levels?"

"I guess there is."

Iijima Snail said: "The classification of monsters can generally be divided into four categories."

"The weakest monsters are ghosts," said the snail. "Ghosts are everywhere. They can't harm humans, and humans can't see them."

Miscellaneous ghosts are the most numerous of monsters.

But because there is no danger, even if the snail finds out, it will not pay attention to it.

"Like those ghosts I saw?"

"A ghost is not a monster."

In Japan, oni refers to horned, man-eating monsters, while ghosts are what Easterners call ghosts.

However, according to the snail, the underworld of Huangquan is very close to Japan, so the ghosts here are protected by the rules of Huangquan.

"Protect?"

"Ghosts can't be killed."

Even snails can only be exterminated by the rules of the underworld.

Of course, the fierce ghosts that the orientals call are different from ghosts. They are defined as evil spirits in Japan.

Evil spirits are also a type of monster.

"Once ghosts hurt people and absorb negative emotions, they turn into scary monsters."

At this time, the snail as a warlock can cure it.

"To get rid of is to disperse, drive it away."

"Treatment is eradication, let it disappear."

As long as ghosts do not violate the laws of the underworld, they are protected by the world of the dead and cannot be killed.

Of course, humans are not helpless with ghosts.

In fact, a ghost cannot even enter a home without the owner's invitation and permission.

"As long as a small enchantment is placed, they can be blocked."

"If you cast a spell, you can even seal it."

It cannot be killed, but it can be imprisoned and locked up.

However, most people with spells would not do such a thing.

"Huangquan has the rules of Huangquan. The sins committed by ghosts in life will be repaid after death."

Wicked people will go to hell, and good people can go to death.

Therefore, to deal with ghosts, there is no need to seal them and forcefully send them to Huangquan, where they can be judged by ghosts and gods.

As for the evil spirits, after they are cured, their souls will still remain.

But the soul here has already lost the memory and personality of his life, leaving only a muddle-headed self.

And even if such a soul is reincarnated, there will be a high probability of being mentally retarded, disabled, or suffering from bad luck in the next life.

"By violating the rules of the underworld, if you don't want to go to the afterlife, you have to bear the corresponding price."

Although Grandpa sympathizes with those souls that have turned into evil spirits, he doesn't just dismiss them blindly: "If I can enlighten them and turn them into good ghosts again, I will definitely try my best to do so."

It's just that in many cases, ghosts will become evil spirits, often after experiencing great pain and carrying huge resentment.

With such an existence, it is really difficult to turn it back.
