Chapter 2 Iijima Snails
Iijima Snail and Yaeko have four sons and three daughters.
In addition to the youngest son, who died young, there were three sons and three daughters.
Iijima Kai, who is talking about Iijima Huan, is the third son and the child who inherits his father's most spiritual power.
However, he has been missing for many years, and his family thinks he is dead.
In addition, the eldest and second sons of the snail did not live with their father, so they went out to work hard and finally chose to live in Tokyo.
The remaining three daughters, the eldest daughter is named Iijima Fei, who changed her surname to Hirose after marriage.
It is very normal for Japanese women to marry with their husband's surname.
As the second daughter, Iijima Huan was 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 did not get married, but recruited a son-in-law under her father's arrangement.
"Hello uncle."
"Gu Yunchan, long time no see."
Takahiro Iijima, the son-in-law of the Iijima family.
His old surname was Mikami, and he had a kind personality and kept his duty, and he was very popular with Iijima snails.
"Brother Gu Yun."
The girl who came out of the house was called Tsukasa Iijima, the daughter of the snail's eldest son, who was 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 Gu Yun's mother.
"Xiao Si, long time no see."
The siblings of the Iijima family are very close, and they often move around on weekdays.
This also makes Gu Yun very familiar with the children of the third generation of the Iijima family.
"Huh?"
It was also at this time that Gu Yun saw a small figure hiding behind the Iijima snail.
The child was not very old, about 4 to 5 years old.
"Ah, this is the first time Xiao Guyun has seen Ritsu."
"Ritsu, this is your Gu Yun Oni sauce."
Yaeko gently introduced the little girl in front of her to Gu Yun.
I saw her wearing a pink kimono and combing her sister's hair, like a Japanese doll.
"Ril, sister?"
"Hahahaha."
As soon as Gu Yun's words fell, everyone laughed.
"Gu Yunchan, it's not a sister, it's a younger brother."
"Huh?"
Gu Yun was stunned for a moment, and secretly said What is the situation,
Brother.
Wearing women's clothing?
is a women's clothing boss at such a young age, and he can still be able to grow up.
But soon, Gu Yun figured out the cause and effect.
It turns out that Ritsu Iijima, like Gu Yun, has also inherited his grandfather's spiritual power and has the power to see demons and monsters.
Therefore, in order to protect his grandson from the harassment of demons, Iijima Snail made him wear women's clothes from an early age as a way to avoid the prying eyes of demons.
"Is this okay?"
Gu Yun was stunned, he didn't expect such a commotion at all.
At the same time, Ritsu Iijima glanced at Xiaobai beside Gu Yun.
However, the child did not have the slightest interest, but sat away from Xiaobai in fear.
In this regard, everyone at the dinner table did not care.
Among the people present, only Iijima Huan, Gu Yun, Snail, and Ritsu could see the youkai, and the others did not notice Xiaobai's existence.
Of course, it may be that you saw it, but pretended not to see it.
For example, Gu Yun's aunt Iijima Juan, she also has the ability to see ghosts, but she is much more indifferent than Iijima Huan, and she has long been used to ignoring demons and monsters.
"Come over here, Gu Yunchan."
After a sumptuous dinner, Iijima Snail called Gu Yun to the study under Iijima's worried gaze.
The snail's study is not small, but it is full of things.
All kinds of old books are piled up on the ground, and there is no place for the messy face to settle.
There are also cabinets full of all kinds of items.
"Grandpa."
Iijima Snail smiled gently, "You have great talents. ”
"I'm amazing?"
Although Gu Yun is a human being in two lives, he is only in his twenties in his past and present lives combined.
What's more, it was the first time he had spiritual power.
Therefore, Gu Yun knows very little about this world, and he has to rely on the guidance of the old man to understand his own situation and obtain information about this world.
"It's amazing."
"Grandpa, are you an onmyoji?"
Faced with Gu Yun's question, the snail shook his head and said, "Ah, no, no, I'm not an onmyoji, I, I should be considered a warlock." ”
"Warlocks? Is it any different from Onmyoji? ”
Seeing that Gu Yun seemed to be very interested in the Onmyoji, the snail explained: "Onmyoji is a profession, but not every Onmyoji can spell and can control the gods. ”
"How can I say that..."
The old man smiled kindly, he thought about it, and then began to explain it to Gu Yun.
According to the snail's description, there are four kinds of people in this world who can intersect with the spirit world.
The first type is a person like a snail, who has spiritual power and stands above demons.
They can solve all kinds of supernatural events, and in terms of attitude, they are also 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 with the protection of the gods, they 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.
"The shrine is a turtle shell, and it won't be harmed by demons?"
"Hahaha."
The snail smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's the shrine's position." ”
Then there is the third category, whose position is slightly lower than that of the demons.
These people are collectively referred to as supernatural scholars, onmyoji, exorcists, and so on.
"Ordinary exorcists and psychics, they don't know spells themselves, and can only use enchantments and props to exorcise demons."
"If the power of the demons is stronger, they will be worried about their lives."
Snails when they are young belong to this category of people.
However, as the strength increases, the snail can solve almost most problems.
"In the end, it's the ring, and the kind of Xiao Si."
"For various reasons, they can see demons and monsters," 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 had apologetic in his eyes.
That was to Gu Yun's mother and helplessness to his children.
The Iijima family has extraordinary spiritual power in its bloodline, and even in the entire supernatural world, the Iijima family is a great family.
But this power is incomplete, and it relies too much on blood.
Only a child who has inherited great power can become a strong man like Iijima Snail.
"So, what about me?"
Gu Yun asked, "Which kind of person do I belong to?" ”
"Nature is the first."
Gu Yun has already subdued Shikishen, and the spiritual power contained in his body is enough to learn all kinds of spells.
If he enters the circle of exorcists, he will definitely become the best among them.
"Grandpa, do youkai have ranks?"
"I guess there is."
Iijima Snail said, "The classification of yokai can be roughly divided into four categories. ”
"The weakest youkai are the ghosts," the snail said, "and they are everywhere, they don't harm humans, and humans can't see them." ”
Miscellaneous ghosts are the most abundant among youkai.
But because there is no danger, even if the snail finds out, it will not pay attention.
"Is it like the ghosts I saw?"
"Ghosts aren't youkai."
In Japan, oni refers to a long-horned man-eating monster, and a ghost is what the Oriental people call a ghost.
However, according to the snail, the Yellow Springs Underworld is very close to Japan, so the ghosts here are protected by the rules of the Yellow Springs.
"Protection?"
"Ghosts can't be killed."
Even a snail can only be uprooted by the rules of the Yellow Spring.
Of course, the Orientals call ghosts, unlike ghosts, are defined as evil spirits in Japan.
Evil spirits are also a type of youkai.
"Once ghosts hurt people and absorb negative emotions, they turn into terrifying yokai."
At this time, the snail as a warlock can retire it.
"To uproot is to disperse, to drive it away."
"To retreat is to eliminate, to make it disappear."
As long as the ghosts do not violate the laws of Huangquan, they are protected by the world of the dead and cannot be killed.
Of course, humans are not helpless with ghosts.
In fact, without the invitation and permission of the owner, the ghost would not even be able to enter the house.
"Just lay out a little barrier to block them."
"If you cast a spell, you can seal it."
You can't kill you, but you can imprison and lock you up.
However, most people with spells don't do such things.
"Yellow Springs has the rules of Yellow Springs, and the sins committed by the ghost during his lifetime will be repaid after death."
The wicked will go to hell, and the good can die.
Therefore, to deal with ghosts, there is no need to seal them, forcibly send them to Huangquan, and let the ghosts and gods over there judge.
As for the evil spirits, after they are retired, they will still leave their souls.
But the soul here has lost its memory and personality before death, and only a muddy self remains.
And even if such a soul is reincarnated, there is a high probability that it will be mentally retarded, disabled, or riddled with bad luck and miserable in the next life.
"If you violate the rules of Huangquan and are unwilling to go to the afterlife, you will have to bear the corresponding price."
Although Grandpa sympathized with the souls that turned into evil spirits, he did not blindly treat them: "If I can enlighten them and turn them back into good ghosts, I will definitely do my best." ”
It's just that many times, ghosts turn into evil spirits, often experiencing great pain, with great resentment.
It's really hard to get such an existence to turn back.
