Tokyo: My Hundred Ghosts Scroll

Chapter 26 The Four Heavenly Kings of Wild Fox Zen
"The Sanzui family we are going to visit today enshrines a sky fox that has been cultivated for thousands of years."

Grandpa told everyone the purpose, and the three-tailed fox stared wide-eyed: "Tianhu? But, didn't you say that it was to strengthen the seal?"

"Yes, a sealed sky fox."

"Is it that great?"

Gu Yun asked curiously: "This family is so strong to be able to seal Tianhu."

"It's really great."

There seemed to be deep meaning in the grandfather's smile, and Gu Yun always felt that the purpose of going this time was not simply for this commission.

"Hundreds of years ago, the sky fox made a big disturbance in the world, summoning ghosts to walk at night in broad daylight, disrupting the order of the world."

"Finally, with the help of the gods, the ancestors of the Sanzui family sealed Tianhu and guarded it for generations."

Being able to summon a hundred ghosts, this sky fox can be called a 'big monster' even if it is rated as a monster.

And even the gods have taken action, which shows how powerful the Tianhu of Mitsuchi's family is.

"Don't worry, though."

Grandpa smiled and said: "Sky Fox has been sealed for hundreds of years, and its power is no longer as strong as it used to be."

The power of the spirit fox comes from the offerings of all living beings and the aura of nature.

The existence of the sealing barrier prevented Tianhu from absorbing spiritual energy.

So after hundreds of years, today's Tianhu has just broken out, probably at the level of a lower-level demon.

"Unless it chooses to turn into a demon completely, there won't be any trouble."

Although Linghu has lost a lot of spiritual power, the foundation is still there, like an empty bucket.

Once Tianhu chooses to pollute the spiritual power and turn it into demon power, and then recklessly absorbs the curses and resentments everywhere in this era, that is the real big crisis.

"impossible."

Three-tailed fox directly denied this situation, and she explained to everyone: "For Tianhu, absorbing demon power is like letting humans drink sewage."

If it is not forced, how can people drink dirty sewage.

"Miss Three-Tailed Fox is right," said Grandpa, "Don't say that the sky fox can't break out, even if it really escapes, it won't join forces with demons."

After all, Tianhu was born as a spirit fox. Even if he does evil, it is at most a prank, and he will never easily kill someone.

"Okay, Miss Sanweihu hides herself."

Everyone came to the station and got on the tram to Mizugawa. An old man took a girl and a boy, just like a grandfather taking his grandchildren out to play.

Soon after, the three of them arrived at their destination before evening.

Mizugawa Station is located in the middle of the field, and the platform is quite shabby, with a rusty bench, a metal plate with the name of the platform written on it, and even a simple one without a light bulb.

"Oh, oh, I'm really in trouble this time, Iijima-sensei."

The person who came to greet the Iijima family was an elderly old lady, with her waist bent, her hands behind her back, and she was wearing a red and white witch costume.

"Long time no see, Granny Mitsuchi."

Grandma Mitsuchi is the person who has the greatest say in the Mitsuchi family, but she is not the head of the family.

Anyway, when Rei Iijima (grandfather) was young, Granny Mitsuchi already looked like an old woman, but 50 years later, she is still like this.

To some extent, this is also a monster old woman.

"These two are..."

"My grandson and granddaughter, the boy's name is Gu Yun, and the girl's name is Nao."

"Grandma Sanzui is good."

Gu Yun and Nao Hayasaka saluted her together.

"Oh, what a polite little guy, hello."

Grandma Sanzui glanced at the two of them, and then led them into a young man's car.

The young man is called Tatsuhiko Mitsuchi, he is 19 years old this year, and he is the younger brother of the head of the Mizuchi family.

Almost all the heads of the Mitsuchi family were women.

Because only the daughter of the Mitsuchi family can inherit the power of the water spirit and protect one side as a water priest.

"Since Mr. Iijima brought the child here, it must be to continue the fate of the two families."

Grandma Sanzui invited Grandpa to use his power to strengthen the seal of Tianhu, and by the way, it was also for Gu Yun to meet her peers and make more friends.

"Ah, in the Five Elements family, there is only the Three Hammers of the Water Spirit, and I still have some relationship."

"Well, we help each other, and we have no reason to refuse."

Granny Mitsuchi received a lot of favors from her grandfather in the early years, so she was willing to help the Iijima family after his death.

"But more things, I can't do anything."

Grandma Sanzui said helplessly: "It's not 50 years ago now, the Five Elements families have all declined, and life is not easy."

"Five elements family?"

"Didn't Mr. Iijima tell this kid about us?"

"Xiao Guyun has awakened his spiritual power not long ago," the grandfather said with a smile, "but it's just right now, mother-in-law, please introduce this child."

There are monsters in this world, and there are also people who have awakened spiritual power on the human side.

Naturally, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there is power.

Since ancient times, the spiritual world of this country has been controlled by ten families, and they are called the ten families.

Among them, Gu Yun already knew about the Abe family.

Abe is a family of onmyojis, but he gave up using spells in battle early, and instead specializes in divination, prophecy and Fengshui. Since the Heian period, he has stood at the apex of the supernatural circle.

They control the economy and politics, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the rulers of the country's shadow.

"The Abe family is powerful, but their magic skills are not satisfactory."

Grandma Sanzui is like grandpa, when she mentions the Abe family, she will subconsciously sneer: "If you really encounter a powerful monster, you have to rely on our family to fight it."

To put it simply, the Abe family is rich, but they are not good at fighting.

Perhaps because of self-knowledge, the onmyojis of the Abe family generally do not participate in the battles of removing spirits, exorcising demons, and curing ghost stories.

"In addition to the Abe family, the Five Elements family used to be one of the ten famous families."

But that was a long time ago. The mother-in-law said: "It's a pity that in the Warring States Period 500 years ago, the daimyo was divided into one side, and the Five Elements were separated because of different ideas."

A family split into five, and the Sanzui family was separated from the Five Elements family.

They inherited the water of the five elements, and then established their own family.

In addition, there are Hualing of Fire, Mori of Wood, Moon Field of Earth, and Tianhe of Gold.

Together with the three hammers of water, the five schools are collectively known as the five elements and one family among the ten famous schools.

"Because of the split, the Sanzui family alone is no longer a ten-name family, and has no right to speak."

Grandma Mizuki was a little emotional, as if she remembered the past glory of the Five Elements family.

"That's better than me." Grandpa laughed at himself, "I'm just a charlatan."

The Iijima family is neither a famous family nor a powerful demon-killing family. They are defined as "Yehu Zen" in the supernatural circle, which means self-taught people who have no background and no sect.

The upper limit of Yehu Zen is very high, and the lower limit is very low.

Formidable ones, like grandpa, who can drive several super monsters, is a powerhouse that even ten families dare not provoke.

Weak ones may be like Iijima Ring, who can see monsters but cannot cast spells.

Even a little bit too much, even the monsters can't be seen, so they start to kill the spirits recklessly.

This is why everyone in the circle scoffs at Yehu Zen.

"We turned out to be at the bottom of the chain of contempt."

Gu Yun didn't care much about these things, Hayasaka Nao listened quietly, and almost understood the situation of Iijima's house.

"Don't listen to Iijima-sensei's nonsense."

Grandma Sanzui snorted: "The man who can be called the Four Heavenly Kings of Yehu Zen is only the man who created the spirit control technique. As long as you are willing to speak, the ten sects will immediately give you the vacant seat."

The Ten Families are just a title, and there are actually not ten families and forces.

The ones that were vacated were to recruit folk masters like Grandpa.

"Four Heavenly Kings of Wild Fox Zen, what is that?"

When Gu Yun heard this word for the first time, he secretly thought that the secondary school of the people of the island country is really engraved in their bones, and they want to have the Four Heavenly Kings for everything.

"Why, didn't Mr. Iijima even tell this kid about this?"

Granny Sanzui sighed, and grandpa quickly said: "Xiao Guyun has only learned spells from me for a month, and it's too early for him to do these things."

"What's more, the Four Heavenly Kings are all false names."

Yehu Chan is a quack warlock of Wumen and Five Schools, and among these people, four folk masters were born.

They each created a powerful forbidden technique that even the ten sects are extremely envious of, and based on this, they gained a great reputation.

"Kotaki Goshiro, Natsume Reiko, Tsuba Kishiro, and young master Gu Yun, your grandfather Rei Iijima."

Granny Mizuki seemed to admire these four people very much, at least more respect than the so-called Abe family: "This is hidden among the people, the Four Heavenly Kings of Wild Fox Zen."

"It turns out that grandpa is so powerful!"

"Hey~~"

Grandpa waved his hands again and again, saying that it's no big deal: "A false name, it's all a false name."

It can be seen from his expression that he can be praised by his grandson. Although the old man doesn't care about these false names, he enjoys his grandson's admiration.

If I didn't see the old man's mouth, he would smile crookedly!
'Keep boasting, don't stop, Xiao Guyun! '

In his life, maybe right now, the old man felt that the title of Four Heavenly Kings was of some use.

'Sure enough, with Grandpa's level, it's impossible to be weak. '

Gu Yun always thought that the old man possessed both ability and morality, but he never expected that he would become such a big name among the people.

But among the four, Gu Yun had some impression of the first name.

Jialong Wusilang, the spiritual vision technique that Gu Yun practiced before is the spell he created.

I remember Grandpa said that this spell is forbidden, so you must be careful when you ask Gu Yun to practice it.

'Spiritual vision, forbidden? '

'Could it be that this spiritual vision technique is the powerful forbidden technique created by Kotaki Goshirō? '

Thinking about it carefully, even the three-tailed fox and other monsters have never heard of spells to improve their spiritual status and enter different dimensions. This kind of ability must be extremely rare.

And the other party would actually hand over such a powerful spell to grandpa before he passed away. It is conceivable how good the relationship between the two is.
