Chapter 13: The Zashiki Boy
The visit of the little bird tour is just a small episode of Gu Yun's practice of spells in the old house of Iijima.
This is not a special case, and it is not uncommon for guests to come to the door and ask for help from grandpa.
"A new Shikigami?"
Grandpa couldn't understand what Gu Yun meant by the new god.
Gu Yun explained simply, his statement was that he seemed to be able to awaken some sleeping demons and let them fight for themselves.
As for the reason, Gu Yun himself didn't know.
The Shikigami Picture Scroll is Gu Yun's secret, even if it is his grandfather, he doesn't tell it.
Fortunately, Gu Yun's heavenly capital is beyond his grandfather's imagination.
Grandpa was only a little puzzled by the magical phenomena that happened to him, but he quickly accepted his powerful ability to summon gods.
After all, the previous three-tailed fox, as well as Xiaobai, were also summoned by Gu Yun using his method.
"Does Grandpa know Zashiki Boy?"
"The elves of the house."
Grandpa naturally knows Zashiki Boy.
In terms of combat effectiveness, Zashiki Boy can only be counted as a little monster, not a demon.
But she is not so much a ghost or a monster, but more like a goblin in the West, a creature similar to a little goblin.
"What Xiaotani Yun wants to summon is an elf like Zashiki Boy?!"
Grandpa showed an incredible expression, and Gu Yun was a little puzzled: "What's the matter, Zashiki Boy, it's just a little monster, right?" ”
"No, no, no, Xiao Guyun, you don't understand."
Zashiki boy, that's Zashiki boy.
Just like the little goblin in Western mythology, Zashiki Boy is also a guardian spirit in Japan.
All in all, the Zashiki boy is not very strong, but it is extremely rare.
In addition, it is not the soul of a child that can be called a child.
Only those little lucky gods who can bring peace to the family and make the family prosperous are the real Zashiki boys.
"Grandpa, can you take a look at Zashiki Boy?"
Grandpa had never seen Zashiki Boy and was very interested in him.
The Iijima family was not wealthy before, so my grandfather also had the idea of looking for a Zashiki boy to improve the family's situation.
However, although the Zashiki boys cannot fight, they are very good at hiding.
In this world, mages who want to capture Zashiki Boy have to spend a lot of time and energy, and they can only try their luck.
Like Gu Yun, Zashiki Boy was able to come at his call.
Unbelievable, unbelievable!
"Grandpa, you need no one when you summon."
Gu Yun opened the Shikijin Picture Scroll and looked at the pattern of the Zashiki boy on it.
【Zashiki Boy】
How to summon: When no one is around, say to the room, 'Let's play, Zashiki boy'.
Because there was no need for people, grandpa couldn't watch from the sidelines.
"Oh, then Xiao Guyun, you have to be careful."
Grandpa didn't force it, it just so happened that there was a show tonight, and grandma liked those shows very much.
He wasn't going to go.
However, Gu Yun needed an empty house, and his grandfather followed his grandmother.
"Ah, that's rare."
Grandma laughed, "Ren will even go to the show with us." ”
After saying that, grandma happily held her grandfather's hand, and the family left the old house in Iijima with a smile.
After nearly a month of cultivation, Gu Yun's strength has improved by leaps and bounds.
Even without the help of Shikigami, Gu Yun could use his powerful spiritual power to repel ordinary lower-level demons with spells.
If you count the three-tailed fox and Xiaobai, it will be difficult for the superior demons to get close to him.
Don't look at Gu Yun's young age, if he really puts it outside, relying on the two gods, he can take charge of it alone and accept those difficult spirit removal work.
"But if I do that, my mother will kill me, right?"
Over the years, under Gu Yun's guidance, Iijima has not only owned a super-large publishing house, but also made a large amount of investment in foreign countries, holding shares in many international companies.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if Iijima only maintains his current assets, Gu Yun is also a proper rich second generation.
However, this is not possible.
The Iijima family's industry is only going to get bigger and bigger.
My mother is bent on stepping into high society and becoming a real celebrity Chinese.
In her eyes, her son is a genius.
He should stand at the apex of humanity and control the lifeblood of countless people, instead of risking his life to deal with demons and monsters.
"Is the master going to be a soul exorcist in the future?"
"Unlikely."
Gu Yun scratched his face and smiled bitterly at Xiaobai: "My words, I feel that I will become the president of a large enterprise in the future." ”
"President?"
Xiaobai showed an unclear expression: "Although I don't know what it is, it seems to be very powerful!" ”
"Hahaha."
Gu Yun smiled and said, "Okay, let's summon the Zashiki boy." ”
"Uh-huh!"
Hearing that his companions were about to increase again, Xiaobai jumped up and down happily.
"Zashiki boy is a cute child."
The three-tailed fox didn't know Zashiki Boy, but he knew that there was such a monster and knew each other's information.
The gods summoned by Gu Yun actually have nothing to do with each other.
They only know that they are Gu Yun's gods, and they must protect Gu Yun wholeheartedly and obey his orders.
"Alright, you guys go out first."
The call of the Zashiki boy needs to be in an empty room.
Gu Yun didn't know that the three-tailed fox and Xiaobai were considered to be 'people', so let's let them out first.
"So..."
Gu Yun slowly closed the door, and he stood in the dark room.
It is surrounded by wooden sliding doors and has tatami mats underfoot.
The room is not big, only about 20 square meters.
As for the atmosphere...
Not to mention, it really has the feeling of a Japanese-style supernatural movie.
"Let's have fun."
Gu Yun took a deep breath, and then called out in a gentle tone, "Zashiki Boy." ”
"Jingle ~~"
As Gu Yun's words fell.
The crisp sound of bells rings in the secluded room.
Like raindrops falling on the water, rippling, the melodious ringtones also slowly echoed in Gu Yun's ears.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Gu Yun noticed that there seemed to be a figure standing in the corner of the room.
"Zashiki boy?"
"You, hello, master."
Clusters of dark blue ghost fires lit up in the room, reflecting the appearance of Zashiki Boy.
Small, she looks only seven or eight years old, she wears a red kimono with a red base, and a small white horn on her forehead, which looks very petite and cute.
This is the firefighter in the game. ’
Zashiki boys are girl-like youkai with a gentle temperament.
Although he likes to play pranks occasionally, he is essentially a very good child who can bring happiness and prosperity to the family.
"Master, master?"
Feeling the movement in the house, outside the door, Xiaobai's voice came.
"It's time to come in."
Pushing open the door, Gu Yun walked out.
He was followed by the Zashiki boy, and the little girl walked in unison.
When he saw the three-tailed fox and Xiaobai, the Zashiki boy greeted politely: "Hello, I'm the Zashiki boy, please, please advise." ”
"Cute little girl, the concubine is a three-tailed fox."
The three-tailed fox was very casual, and Xiaobai also looked at the boy happily: "I am the master of the white treasure." ”
【Zashiki Boy】
Rank: Lower-level demon
Talents: Soul Fire, Fortune and Prosperity, Blessing and Misfortune
There are three gifts for Zashiki boys.
Among them, Soul Fire is her combat skill, which can create ghost fire to attack enemies.
Gu Yun tested it, but it was not very powerful.
【Fortune and Prosperity】
Effect: Able to identify a family and bless it with prosperity, wealth, home safety, and physical well-being.
This ability, to be honest, is quite powerful.
In today's modern age, Zashiki Tongzi's 'good fortune and prosperity' is simply an ability that countless people dream of.
Gu Yun also thought of his mother's company for the first time.
"Can Zashiki boy bless the Iijima family?"
Although the Zashiki boy is Gu Yun's Shikigami, and Shikigami is nothing but a slave to his master.
Gu Yun's order, Zashiki boy is absolutely impossible to disobey.
However, Gu Yun didn't want to treat them as servants.
He respects each and every one of them and wants to be good friends and family with them.
"Yes, Lord Gu Yun."
Zashiki is an elf who can shelter the house, and she can feel the breath and fortune of each family.
"But I can only bless one family."
Zashiki boy pointed to the old house of Iijima: "The owner of this family is an old grandfather. ”
Through good fortune, Zashiki boy saw the luck of Rei Iijima.
"Can you see this, too? And how is Grandpa's good fortune? ”
Gu Yun can't see good luck, this belongs to the talent of Zashiki boy.
If he wanted to see it, he needed to let the Zashiki boy attach it to him, so as to open up the gift of good fortune.
"Grandpa's luck is very ordinary."
Zashiki said, "My good fortune is prosperous, and I can magnify it on the basis of my original good fortune. ”
"But if the fortune itself is not much, then even with my help, there is no way to become rich."
According to Zashiki Tongzi, the good fortune of the Iijima snail was consumed once in the early years.
"Is that forbidden art?"
Gu Yun remembered that his grandfather told him that he had performed forbidden techniques when he was young, and thus lost 10 years of life.
"If that's the case, there's no way around it."
Grandpa is very good to Gu Yun, and the relatives in Iijima's hometown are also very gentle and kind.
If he could, Gu Yun would also like to help them and improve their living standards.
It's a pity that before the grandfather passed away, the family to which the old house of Iijima belonged, they couldn't get the protection of Zashiki Boy.
"Another of my abilities is called Blessing and Misfortune."
The effect of blessing and misfortune is that it can increase a person's fortune out of thin air, but the price is that in the future, it will encounter equivalent disasters.
This kind of curse-like method is something that even a mage can't solve.
Unless that person can find the gods and let Him take refuge.
"This kind of luck, let's not use it."
Gu Yun didn't want the Iijima family to suffer, but Zashiki shook his little head: "No, Lord Gu Yun." ”
"It's a curse on others."
If it is his own person, Zashiki boy can compress and reduce bad luck, so as to achieve the effect of making sure that he does not lose money.
For example, she can give people good luck and then go on a killing spree in gambling.
Suppose this person wins 1 million yen, then the effect of blessing and misfortune depends on each other.
When the good luck is over, he needs to pay the equivalent of 1 million yen.
In this way, blessings and misfortunes can depend on each other.
"You can, weaken Doom?"
"Hmm."
Zashiki, who looked like a little girl, smiled and nodded: "Depending on the type of thing, the proportion of bad luck will be different." ”
Generally speaking, good luck that has nothing to do with personal ability, such as gambling, can only be reduced to eighty percent even if it is a Zashiki boy.
That is, let the price of 1 million become 800,000.
Conversely, if it is test scores, work efficiency, business development, etc., these themselves are linked to a person's ability.
"The stronger your own ability, the less bad luck you have to pay in the future."
Zashiki told Gu Yun that if he studied hard and worked hard.
Then the effect of blessing and misfortune is equivalent to twice the fortune and prosperity.
As for the so-called cost, your previous hard work, sweat, and psychological pressure are counted as offsetting the cost.
