"Now, is Gu Yun still worried about grandpa's death in two years?"

"Uh..."

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

He really didn't expect that Huangquan would be the same as the real world, it was like a second life, and it was like a peach blossom paradise like a utopia.

To be honest, if you can reach the Yellow Spring after death, is this really called 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, and I don't know if she's arrived." ”

"She?"

"Have you heard Miyoko talk about it before?"

Grandpa said: "The Four Heavenly Kings of Wild Fox Zen, the three except me. ”

Kotaki Wushiro, Natsume Reiko, and Tsuba Kishiro.

Grandpa made an appointment with three people and gathered in Huangquan today in order to introduce his grandson to them.

"Reiko."

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

In his previous life, he had watched the anime called 'Natsume Manned Cover', and he liked the daily life in it.

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

Specifically, the comic does not state.

According to Gu Yun's judgment, when Reiko passed away, she would be in her early twenties at most.

"Reiko and Wushiro are both dead."

"So they should come sooner, maybe they're already waiting for us at the front."

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

Of the three, only Kogoro 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 her death, and is known as the existence with the most hope of completing the [Twelve Days Trial] in the past hundred years.

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

She didn't stop practicing, but after abandoning her flesh and blood, her spirit increased greatly, and now even her grandfather is no match for her.

"Twelve days of trial?"

The last time Gu Yun met the 'Queen of Water', she was the wife of Shui Tian, one of the twelve days.

But Gu Yun's understanding of what the twelve heavens were was extremely one-sided, he only knew that they seemed to be twelve very powerful gods.

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

"Is the test hard?"

"It's very hard!"

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

Please note that the [12-day achievement] here does not mean that you can become a member of the 12-day when you are completed.

An achievement is an achievement, twelve days is twelve days, and there is nothing to do with the two.

"Twelve Days is a legendary existence."

Grandpa explained, "They used to be the most powerful of the twelve martial gods and fighting gods among the gods. ”

"For thousands of years, for various reasons, twelve days have descended to heaven one after another," Grandpa: "They have gone through all kinds of hardships in the human world, and they have broken the shackles with mortal bodies and re-ascended to heaven and gods." ”

If Reiko Natsume can complete the [Twelve Days Trial], she will probably become the strongest warlock in the spirit world for a hundred years.

Of course, Reiko is dead.

But that's not much of a problem.

Reiko was a living god during her lifetime.

When the present gods die, their spirits will not die out, but will turn into special spirits.

Spirits have no godhead, but they have the same power as gods.

So it's really come to that point, Reiko wants to be resurrected, and there are many ways.

The simplest thing is to perform the 'method of descending from heaven to man', just like the twelve heavens.

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

"Hahahaha."

Grandpa smiled: "Me? I'm still far from it! ”

The Four Heavenly Kings of Wild Fox Zen, the most capable one is definitely Reiko Natsume.

In Grandpa's words, the girl was opened.

"Not to mention completing the trial, just finding them for twelve days and having a conversation with them is enough to make countless soul slayer desperate."

The twelve days of spirit are so high that it is almost impossible for a soul hunter to travel to the world in which they live.

"Oh, it's here."

As he spoke, Grandpa took Gu Yun to a wooden house built on a wooden plank road like a cliff.

"Knock knock."

"Here it is~~"

The door was opened by a woman in her thirties, dressed in a kimono, who looked like a very virtuous housewife.

"Reiko?"

"Ah, the kid recognized the wrong person."

Emiko Isshiki covered her mouth and chuckled, 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 a snail. ”

"It's the teacher's grandson."

"Welcome."

Mrs. Emiko shouted into the house, "Reiko~~ Teacher is here!" ”

"It's too slow, master."

Soon, a delicate-looking girl ran out of the back room, she scratched her head, looking like she had just woken up: "Besides, long time no see!" ”

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

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

"Reiko?"

Unlike Reiko in Gu Yun's impression, Reiko in this world did not become incompatible with others because of her spiritual ability.

"You're the teacher's grandson, aren't you?"

Reiko and her grandfather hadn't seen each other for many years, but they didn't break off contact, but often exchanged spell experiences, so she knew about Gu Yun's existence.

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

At a young age, he showed good cultivation and qualifications, and he was able to perfectly inherit all his abilities and far surpass his own genius.

"When we met for the first time, I was Gu Yun."

"Reiko Natsume."

Reiko coughed lightly, she didn't wait to hug him like the others saw Gu Yun for the first time, but stood there very politely: "What, you said the same as the teacher, it's very kawaii." ”

"Huh?"

Gu Yun was stunned for a moment, but saw Lingzi's cheeks slightly red and asked softly, "I, can I hug you?" ”

"Yes, you can."

So, after getting Gu Yun's permission, Reiko hugged him into her arms, her eyes were full of love: "Is this Xiaohuan's child, the majesty on his body, I have never seen such an attractive atmosphere." ”

"Hahahaha."

Grandpa smiled, "Huh? Kotani Yun is super cute! ”

"Ahem, it's okay."

"That's it."

said this, but Lingzi's eyes never left Gu Yun.

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

"But what should I call this kid?"

Reiko Natsume: "Aunt Reiko? It's still Senior Sister Reiko. ”

"Huh?"

Aunt Gu Yun can understand that Reiko is more than ten years older than Iijima Huan.

Reiko Natsume passed away at the age of 24, and if she was still alive, she would be 45 years old this year, a proper old aunt.

But because he was still very young when he died.

In addition, Reiko used soul engraving to retain her spirit body when she was 17 years old in high school.

So in terms of mental age, Reiko is more inclined to Iijima Kan and Miyoko.

Even Reiko cares about age.

It has nothing to do with whether he is a warlock or not, dead or alive!

As long as you are a woman, you don't like to be called an 'old aunt'.

"Senior sister?"

What Gu Yun was puzzled about was not Reiko's age, but what she called 'Senior Sister Reiko'.

"Didn't I say that?"

Grandpa spoke: "Reiko is my first student, and she is the eldest disciple of Iijima's casual flow!" ”

"With..."

The corners of Gu Yun's mouth twitched slightly: "Grandpa, you are made up, right?" ”

"Hahahaha."

Grandpa smiled: "Don't care about the details, Gu Yun." ”

There is no genre in the spells of the Iijima family, and it is indeed quite casual.

"I'll make you tea."

In the Isshiki mansion, Emiko went to the kitchen to cook, and Kotaki Wushiro seemed to be out on errands and hadn't come back yet.

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

So, taking advantage of this moment, Reiko told Gu Yun about her childhood memories.

"I miss the old days..."

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

Decades ago, the Natsume family was attacked by a group of demons because of their powerful bloodline, and Reiko's parents were also killed in this disaster.

Only five or six-year-old girls were left, lonely.

If nothing else, Reiko in this world will also be taken in by relatives as Gu Yun remembers, and then send someone to spend her childhood under the fence.

It was also at that time that Reiko met a snail from Iijima, who was about 30 years old and still in her youth.

The snail has received a great favor from the Natsume family, and in order to prevent the girl from constantly circling around with relatives and being thrown around like an oil bottle, he chooses to adopt the young Reiko.

To this end, Grandpa also used his connections in the spiritual world to solve various legal problems.

Perhaps because of the appearance of her grandfather, Reiko's fate was changed.

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

In her mind, the snail is both her teacher and a father-like being.

Of course, some of the original tragedies, Reiko couldn't avoid them after all.

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

The only people who can talk are the little sister of the Iijima family, who also has the ability to see ghosts, and the Iijima Snail, who is an adoptive father.

However, they are family, not friends.

Unusual performance leads to Reiko being 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 have bullied her.

Grandpa didn't say anything about this.

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

The huge base of ordinary people, with inheritance, and the ratio of warlocks who have learned spells to them has almost reached an exaggerated 1 million:1.

"Was Grandpa like that before?"

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

But Grandpa changed because he fought.

Of course, it doesn't work.

Grandpa didn't change anything, but caused his important family members to lose their lives.

"I sometimes wonder if if I would have changed if I hadn't resisted at that time."

"Well."

Reiko laughed at herself: "Sure enough, with my character, I must not be able to help it." ”

"So, Sister Reiko, did you make a move?"

"It's a shot."

Reiko took a sip of tea: "I called some little monsters and scared them hard, and after I retaliated, they learned to be obedient completely." ”

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

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

"People are starting to be afraid of me."

"Whether it's my classmates or my peers, everyone chooses to distance themselves from me."

Unfortunate Onihime.

A youkai-like woman.

She's just a shady guy...

All kinds of gossip made Reiko an outlier in Girls' Generation.

This is Japan.

Whether in school or society, heterogeneity is a vulnerable group that is discriminated against and bullied.

Perhaps there are no more overt punches and verbal offenses.

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

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

It is a pity that there are too few such people.

The snail wanted to help, but he really couldn't help Reiko introduce her friends to the same interests.

"Humans, that's the kind of creatures they are."

Reiko sighed, "They are afraid of your power, but they are jealous that they can't have it. ”

Over time, Reiko, who repels humans, begins to come into contact with youkai and fights through ...

No, it should be said that it is a one-sided violent beating of monsters to vent the anguish in my heart.

Of course, Reiko is not a sadist either.

The monsters who fought with her, should I say that they don't know each other if they don't fight, and one after another, they have concluded a fate with her.

It was also in this process that Reiko created her own powerful forbidden art based on ———— Natsume's Friend Account.

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

"This, Reiko, you can rest assured."

Grandpa smiled: "Xiaohuan is super rich now." ”

And Gu Yun is also very well hidden, he has a lot of friends.

"Huh? Is Xiaohuan rich now? ”

Reiko has traveled in different dimensions all these years.

She is not in the world, so naturally she 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 the soul slayer," Grandpa: "In the society of ordinary people, he is also a celebrity in the world." ”

"Scoop One!!"

After learning that Gu Yun's family was rich enough to explode, Reiko was stunned.

Anyway, Gu Yun is really a soul eliminator?

Shouldn't they be poorer than the other, and then all of them live a miserable life?

"That..."

Gu Yun raised his hand and said, "Let me ask, why in your concept, Senior Sister Lingzi, the spirit removal masters are all poor?" ”

"Needless to say!"

Reiko pointed to herself, then to the teacher, and then said, "And Wushiro and Mr. Tsuba, we are all poor!" ”

“.……”

"Ahem, ahem."

Grandpa's smile grew stiffer.

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

Grandpa: Am I poor? I'm called clean and self-conscious, and my sleeves are clean!

is like being an official, some people live a very simple life, but some can fish and meat all day long.

It's not 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.

To the extent that the law allows, there are ways to make a good living.

The reason why Grandpa didn't do this was purely for the sake of cultivation.

Otherwise, he can be a fortune teller and a feng shui master, and in just a few words, he can make money every day and become a master.

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

When you earn 100,000 a month, you think about making 200,000 a month.

If you earn 200,000 a month, you will want 1 million.

How can you be sure you're going to stop and not want more?

A person's energy is limited.

Grandpa studied spells more to understand the world, rather than spending a lot of time thinking about how to make more money.

Money, just enough money.

Too much wealth and power is not conducive to the practice of a warlock.

Just like if officials focus all their attention on how to accumulate wealth, how can they serve the people wholeheartedly?

Life is simple, not because of masochism and stupidity.

It's to encourage yourself all the time, and you can't forget your roots!

Iijima Snail: That's right, the old man just doesn't want to do that! It's definitely not because the novel sells poorly and can't make money!
