Tokyo: My Hundred Ghosts Scroll

Chapter 63 Natsume Reiko
"Now, is Gu Yun still worried that grandpa will die in two years?"

"Forehead…"

Gu Yun scratched his face, not knowing how to answer.

He really didn't expect Huangquan to be the same as the real world, almost like Second Life, and it was a utopia-like paradise.

To be honest, if you can reach the underworld after death, is this really death?

"But no matter what, you shouldn't put the word 'death' on your lips."

"Hahaha."

Grandpa didn't refute, he smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to visit three old friends, I don't know if she's here yet."

"she?"

"Have you heard about Mei Yezi before?"

Grandpa said: "The four heavenly kings of Yehu Zen, the three other than me."

Kotaki Goshiro, Natsume Reiko, and Tsuba Kishiro.

Grandpa invited three people to gather in Huangquan today, in order to introduce his grandson to them.

"Reiko."

Among the three, Gu Yun should be most familiar with Natsume Reiko.

In his previous life, he had watched the anime called 'Natsume Ren Hood' and liked the daily life in it very much.

However, according to the anime, Reiko seems to have passed away when Natsume's mother was very young.

Specifically, the manga did not explain.

According to Gu Yun's judgment, Reiko was at most in her early 20s when she passed away.

"Reiko and Goshirō are both dead."

"So they should come sooner, maybe they are already waiting for us in front."

"That guy Mushirou is still alive," Grandpa said, "It's really not easy to call them all over at the same time."

Among the three, only Jiawulang lives in Huangquan.

Although Reiko has passed away, her spiritual power is very strong, and she has cultivated to the point of "supernatural power" before she was alive. She is known as the most promising existence in the past hundred years to complete the "Twelve Days Trial".

Although she died young, death was just a new beginning for Reiko.

She didn't stop practicing, on the contrary, after abandoning her flesh and blood body, her spiritual power increased greatly, and now even her grandfather is no longer her opponent.

"Twelve days of trials?"

The 'Queen of Water' that Gu Yun met last time was the wife of one of the Twelve Heavens, Shui Tian.

But Gu Yun's understanding of what the Twelve Heavens are is extremely one-sided. He only knows that they seem to be twelve very powerful gods.

"To put it simply, it is to find a 'Twelve Days' and complete the other party's test."

"Is the test difficult?"

"Very difficult!"

Grandpa said: "As far as I know, it has been almost 100 years, and no one has been given the title of [Heaven]."

Please note that the [Twelve Days Achievement] here does not mean that you can become a member of the Twelve Days after you complete it.

Achievement is achievement, twelve days are twelve days, there is no relationship between the two.

"The twelve days are legendary existences."

Grandpa explained: "They used to be the twelve most powerful gods of war and battle gods among the gods."

"For thousands of years, due to various reasons, twelve days have descended into the heavens one after another as human beings," Grandpa said, "They have gone through various hardships in the world, and broke the shackles with mortal bodies, and ascended to heaven again." god."

If Natsume Reiko can complete the [Twelve-Day Trial], she is likely to become the strongest sorcerer in the world of spirit removal for a hundred years.

Of course, Reiko was dead.

But that's not a big deal.

Reiko was a living god during her lifetime.

After the death of human gods, their spirit bodies will not disappear, but will turn into special spirit gods.

The spirit god has no godhead, but has the same power as the gods.

So when it really came to that point, if Reiko wanted to be resurrected, there were many ways.

The easiest way is to use the "law of descending from heaven and becoming a man" just like the twelve days.

"Grandpa, can't you complete the twelve-day trial?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Grandpa smiled and said, "Me? I'm still far behind!"

Among the Four Heavenly Kings of Yehu Zen, Natsume Reiko is definitely the one who can fight the most.

In the words of grandpa, that girl was just hanging out.

"Not to mention completing the trial, just finding twelve days and having a dialogue with them is enough to make countless spiritual masters despair."

The twelve-day spiritual level is very high, and it is almost impossible for spiritual masters to go to the world they live in.

"Oh, here it is."

Just as he was talking, Grandpa brought Gu Yun to a wooden house built on a cliff-like wooden plank road.

"Knock knock."

"Come on~~"

The person who opened the door was a woman in her 30s. She was wearing a kimono and looked like a very virtuous housewife.

"Reiko?"

"Ah, kid, you've got the wrong person."

Isshiki Emiko covered her mouth and smiled lightly, and her grandfather introduced, "This is Mrs. Isshiki."

"Just call me Emiko."

Mrs. Emiko is a very gentle woman, and Gu Yun hurriedly saluted: "My name is Iijima Gu Yun, and I am the grandson of the snail."

"It's the teacher's grandson."

"welcome."

Mrs. Emiko shouted into the room: "Reiko~~ Teacher is here!"

"It's too late, sir."

Soon, a girl with a delicate face ran out from the back room. She scratched her head, as if she had just woken up: "Besides, long time no see!"

The girl looked seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was wearing the old Japanese high school uniform from decades ago, that is, the blue and white sailor uniform.

"Well, I haven't seen you for almost ten years, Reiko."

"Reiko?"

Unlike the Reiko in Gu Yun's impression, the Reiko in this world is not incompatible with other people because of her psychic abilities.

"Are you the teacher's grandson?"

Reiko hasn't seen her grandpa for many years, but they haven't lost contact. Instead, they often exchange magic skills, so she knows Gu Yun's existence.

In the grandfather's description, his grandson is well-behaved, sensible, and intelligent.

At such a young age, he has shown impressive cultivation and aptitude, and he is a genius who can perfectly inherit all his abilities, far surpassing himself.

"It's the first time we meet, I'm Gu Yun."

"Natsume Reiko."

Reiko coughed lightly, instead of hugging Gu Yun impatiently like other people who saw Gu Yun for the first time, she stood there very politely: "Then what, you are just like the teacher said, very kawaii. "

"Aha?"

Gu Yun was taken aback for a moment, but saw Lingzi's cheeks flushed and asked softly, "Can I give you a hug?"

"Yes, yes."

So, after getting Gu Yun's permission, Reiko hugged him into her arms, her eyes full of love: "Is this Xiaohuan's child? I have never seen such an attractive aura before."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Grandpa smiled and said, "Really? Xiao Guyun is super cute!"

"Cough, it's okay, it's okay."

"That's it."

As she said so, Reiko never took her eyes off Gu Yun.

Obviously, Reiko really likes Gu Yun, but she is a bit arrogant and doesn't want to admit it.

"But what should I call the boy?"

Natsume Reiko: "Aunt Reiko? Or Senior Sister Reiko."

"Hey?"

Aunt Gu Yun could understand that Reiko was more than ten years older than Iijima.

Natsume Reiko passed away at the age of 24. If she is still alive, she should be 45 years old this year, a proper old aunt.

But because he was young when he died.

In addition, Reiko used the soul engraving technique to retain her 17-year-old high school spirit body during her lifetime.

So in terms of psychological age, Reiko is more inclined to Iijima and Miyako.

Even Reiko cares about her age.

It has nothing to do with whether you are a warlock, whether you are dead or alive!
As long as you are a woman, you don't like being called 'old aunt'.

"Sister?"

Gu Yun was puzzled not by Reiko's age, but by the "Senior Sister Reiko" in her mouth.

"Didn't I tell you?"

Grandpa said, "Reiko is my first student, and Iijima's first disciple!"

"follow"

The corner of Gu Yun's mouth twitched slightly: "Grandpa, did you make it up now?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Grandpa smiled and said, "Don't worry about the details, Gu Yun."

The Iijima family's spells have no genres, and they are indeed quite casual.

"I'll make tea for you."

In Isshiki's mansion, Emiko went to the kitchen to cook, and Kotaki Goshiro seemed to be out on errands and hadn't returned yet.

Tsuba is a prodigal son, acting coquettishly, he is the last one to arrive every time, Grandpa and Reiko have long been used to it.

So, taking advantage of this time, Lingzi told Gu Yun about her childhood memories.

"I really miss the old days..."

The relationship between Reiko and the Iijima family is much closer than Gu Yun imagined.

Decades ago, Natsume's family was attacked by a group of monsters because of their strong blood. Reiko's parents also died in this disaster.

Only the five or six-year-old girl was left alone.

If there is no accident, Reiko in this world will be taken in by relatives as Gu Yun remembers, and then spent her childhood under the fence.

It was also at that time that Reiko met Iijima Snail, who was about 30 years old and still in his youth.

Snail has been greatly favored by Natsume's family. In order to prevent the girl from being constantly circulated among relatives and being thrown around like a drag bottle, he chooses to adopt the young Reiko.

For this reason, grandpa also used his contacts in the spirit world to solve various legal problems.

Perhaps because of the appearance of grandpa, Reiko's fate has been changed.

In this way, Reiko grew up in the old house in Iijima.

In her mind, the snail is not only her teacher, but also a father-like existence.

Of course, Reiko could not avoid some original tragedies after all.

That too powerful spiritual power makes it difficult for Reiko to become friends with ordinary people.

The only ones who can speak are the Iijima family's younger sister, Iijima Tsuruka, who also has the ability to see ghosts, and Iijima Snail, who is the adoptive father.

However, they are family, not friends.

Behavior different from ordinary people caused Reiko to be bullied at school.

The girl is naturally not the kind of character who likes to endure, so she decisively uses spells to take revenge on those who bullied her.

Grandpa didn't say anything about it.

Or in the subconscious of Snail Iijima at that time, there was also dissatisfaction and hatred for ordinary people persecuting warlocks.

Ordinary people have a huge base, have inheritance, and the ratio of warlocks who have learned spells to them is almost an exaggerated 100 million: 1.

"Is grandpa like that before?"

Gu Yun always thought that his grandfather was a moderate person from the very beginning, but he didn't expect to be so violent when he was young.

But the reason why grandpa changed is because he fought.

Of course, it's useless.

Grandpa didn't change anything, but caused the lives of his important family members to die.

"I sometimes wonder if it would have been different if I hadn't resisted at that time."

"Well."

Reiko laughed at herself: "Sure enough, with my personality, I can't help it."

"So, sister Reiko, have you made a move?"

"It's done."

Reiko took a sip of tea: "I called some little monsters and frightened them severely, and after being retaliated by me, they completely behaved themselves."

No one dared to look down on her anymore, and no one dared to bully her anymore.

And Reiko also paid the price for this, that is, she completely lost the luxury of friends.

"People started to be afraid of me."

"Whether it's classmates or peers, everyone chooses to alienate me."

Poor ghost girl.

A woman like a monster.

She's just a dark guy.
All kinds of gossip made Reiko of Girls' Generation an outlier.

This is Japan.

Whether in school or in society, heterogeneous groups are disadvantaged groups who are discriminated against and bullied.

Perhaps there will no longer be obvious punches and verbal offenses.

But this kind of cold violence and isolation are sometimes more vicious than real violence.

If at that time, Reiko could meet another warlock of the same age, they might become very good friends.

Unfortunately, such people are too few.

Snail wants to help, but he really can't help Reiko introduce a friend who has the same interests.

"Humans are such creatures."

Reiko said with emotion: "They are afraid of your power, but they are jealous that they can't have it."

Over time, Reiko, who rejects humans, came into contact with monsters, and through fighting...

No, it should be said that it was a unilateral beating of monsters to vent the depression in my heart.

Of course, Reiko is not a sadist either.

The monsters who have fought with her, one by one, have formed a fate with her.

It was also during this process that Reiko created her own powerful forbidden technique based on the spirit of speech - Natsume's Book of Friends.

"It's my senior sister's experience," Reiko said to Gu Yun, "Gu Yun, you must be careful."

"Well, Reiko, you can rest assured."

Grandpa smiled and said, "Xiaohuan is super rich now."

And Gu Yun is also very good at hiding, he has a lot of friends.

"Huh? Is Xiaohuan a rich man now?"

Reiko has been traveling in different dimensions over the years.

She is not in the human world, so she naturally does not know how far this world has developed.

"Gu Yun is different from us. He not only surpasses you and me in the talent of being a spiritual master," grandpa said, "In the society of ordinary people, he is also a celebrity in the world."

"Sky One!!"

After learning that Gu Yun's family was so rich that it exploded, Reiko was shocked.

By the way, Gu Yun is really a spiritual master?

Shouldn't they get rid of the spiritual masters one by one, and then all lead a precarious and miserable life?

"that…"

Gu Yun raised his hand and said, "Let me ask, why in your concept, Senior Sister Lingzi, are you all poor except spiritual masters?"

"It goes without saying!"

Reiko pointed at herself, then at the teacher, and then said, "And Goshiro and Tsuba-san, we are all poor!"

"..."

"Cough cough cough."

Grandpa's smile became more and more stiff.

Reiko's words are indeed correct, but do you have to use your own people as a metaphor?

Grandpa: Am I poor?I call it clean and clean, with a clean sleeve!

Just like being an official, some people live a very simple life, while others can live a full day.

It does not mean that the latter is a corrupt official.

In fact, there are many ways to live a better life, and not all of them are illegal.

Within the scope allowed by the law, there are ways to make yourself live a good life.

The reason why grandpa didn't do this was purely for cultivation.

Otherwise, he could be a fortune teller or a feng shui master, and with just a few words, he could make a lot of money and become a master.

However, money, power, status, these things are endless.

When you earn 10 a month, you will think about earning 20 a month.

If your monthly income is 20, you will want 100 million.

At this rate, how can you guarantee that you will stop and not want more?
A person's energy is limited.

Grandpa learned spells more because he wanted to understand the world than to spend a lot of time thinking about how to make more money.

Money, enough is enough.

Excessive wealth and power are not conducive to the practice of warlocks.

Just like how can an official serve the people wholeheartedly if he focuses all his attention on how to collect money?
Life is simple, not because of masochism and stupidity.

It is to encourage myself all the time, not to forget my roots!
Iijima Snail: That's right, I just don't want to do this!It's definitely not because the novel sold poorly and couldn't make money!
