Tokyo: My Hundred Ghosts Scroll

Chapter 59
"Let's explain first, the west of the sea and the east of the mountain."

The old man chose a relatively simple concept and explained it to Gu Yun: "You already know the present world of matter, the afterlife of the underworld, the afterlife of hidden gods, the imaginary world of strange stories, the quagmire of evil gods, the sky of good gods, and the world of all things. God is higher than heaven."

"Actually, there is another place that I have never told you, Xiao Guyun."

"Where?"

"Eternal world!"

The so-called eternal world is the 3.5th layer above the quagmire of the evil gods and below the sky of the good gods.

Eternal Eternity is an extremely vast world, where humans, animals and plants live, but all operations are not based on scientific laws, but forces called celestial and terrestrial principles.

"There is a special 'door' between the ordinary world and the present world," Grandpa said, "This kind of door is called 'eclipse'."

An eclipse is a space-time storm. Once it occurs, it will cause huge disasters in this world, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, typhoons and tsunamis, and so on.

It is also through this that a thing called "egg fruit" in the eternal world will flow into the world with the wind of eclipse, and implant a bed in the woman's body to form a fetal fruit, thus giving birth to the son of heaven.

"The probability is very low, but not impossible."

"Forehead…"

Gu Yun was stunned for a while, then asked: "In other words, I actually don't have a father?"

"Well, Xiao Guyun, you only have a mother, not a father."

The combination of a normal ovum and a woman can be a fertilized little life, or there is no such step.

There are many women in this world who have not been married to humans, but only had a dream, such as a dragon entering the belly, an angel telling each other, and when they woke up, they found that they were pregnant.

Among all viviparous births, there is nothing special about a child who has the union of his parents, nor can he be called a child bestowed by heaven.

And those who only have a mother body and no father are special existences.

Just like Sakura and Gu Yun, both of them have extraordinary power and mission.

There is an inherent term for such a person in the spiritual world—living saint.

"Essentially, egg fruit is also divided into two types."

"One is with parents, and the other is without parents."

The egg fruit is the way for ordinary people to conceive children, so the ordinary fruit fruit will have two pairs of parents.

One pair is in the ordinary world, and the other pair is in the present world.

In this kind of pairwise combination, only the child born from the ovum of the impermanent parents who went to the present world after eclipse and combined with a non-pregnant woman is the living saint.

"Egg fruit also has parents? What do you mean?"

To be honest, Gu Yun still doesn't understand what an 'egg fruit' is, is it a fruit, or some kind of treasure?
Or, a woman in the eternal life has a miscarriage after pregnancy...

"The egg fruit is the fruit that grows on the tree."

Grandpa said: "Eternal life is a legendary fairyland, just like the place where immortals live in oriental mythology."

"There, women don't need to suffer from the pain of pregnancy," Grandpa said. "If a man and a woman love each other, they only need to come to the tree, tie the red rope to the branch, and pray sincerely."

"After ten months, the place where the red rope is tied will bear eggs. After cutting them open, you can get a child."

"..."

Gu Yun is a little confused, what kind of inexplicable fairy tale is this.

It really is Momotaro, and the child is sent by the crane, or the princess Kaguya Hime of Takenaka.

"More than that," Grandpa continued, "If you want plant seeds or animal cubs, you can also pray through Limu."

"There are also wild trees, the seeds and fruits of animals and birds, grasses and trees in the mountains and fields, and the trees of fish that live in the water."

It can be said that in the eternal world, all living beings and all things are born from the fruits of various trees.

"that…"

Gu Yun commented: "It's really a world full of mythology. Grandpa, have you ever been to the eternal world?"

"Well, I went there when I was young."

Grandpa said: "At that time, I, Reiko, and Kishiro traveled in different time and space and dimensions under the guidance of Kogoro's spiritual vision."

Thinking of the years when he was young, grandpa showed nostalgia.

Although Spirit Vision has no combat power, it can travel through the world and reach different dimensions, dimensions, and time and space. In this regard, it is a well-deserved secret technique in legends.

"So," Gu Yun said, "how should the matter between Sakura and Nadeko be resolved?"

"The best way to deal with Nadeko is to do nothing."

"what?"

Gu Yun looked at his grandfather puzzled: "Why?"

"Xiao Guyun should know, how long can I live?"

"sorry!"

Gu Yun's face changed, and he quickly bowed his head to apologize.

"Hahaha, I didn't mean that."

Grandpa laughed quickly: "Although I told you that you don't need to care about other people's moral kidnapping, how can I say it..."

"Sure enough, I can't help it."

The old man scratched his cheek and said: "I turn a blind eye to those who need help, and the one who suffers is myself instead."

But everyone's personality is different, and grandpa belongs to the kind-hearted kind of person.

But the old man didn't want Gu Yun to become like that.

Kindness is a very tragic character. People with this character always care about others and ignore themselves.

They will live very hard, will often blame themselves, heartache, and because of the suffering of others, they will not be able to eat well or sleep well.

Kindness is sometimes a curse.

It's just a kind-hearted person who loves it.

Of course, Grandpa also told Gu Yun that true kindness will not force and blame others.

That kind of mother bitch who harms others and does not benefit oneself is definitely the person that grandpa hates the most, not one of them.

"I…"

Listening to his grandfather's explanation, Gu Yun felt a little ashamed. He is a selfish person, and he really can't sacrifice himself for others.

"It's okay, it's really okay."

Grandpa gently stroked Gu Yun's hair: "You don't need to force yourself to do things you can't do."

"Heroes are great, but for Gu Yun, it's better not to be a hero."

Perhaps the world will praise Gu Yun for this, but the grandfather only wants his grandson to be happy.

"What's wrong with being selfish."

Grandpa is also selfish in loving his grandson.

If it is strangers and Gu Yun who are in danger, let grandpa make a choice, he will save his grandson without hesitation, not outsiders.

"Xiao Guyun, just remember one thing," said grandpa, "The most difficult thing for a person in this world is not to do something, but to be able to restrain oneself and not to do anything."

"The more powerful people are, the more powerful they are, and they can do far more things than ordinary people."

"Just like you, Gu Yun," Grandpa said, "You are still young, but in the future, you may have the power to destroy the world."

"Hey?"

Gu Yun felt that what Grandpa said was a bit exaggerated: "This is unlikely, right?"

"Who knows..."

Grandpa joked: "Let's just assume that Xiao Guyun has such potential."

"So, if one day, Xiao Guyun, you have such power, can you restrain yourself and not do evil?"

"I…"

With Gu Yun's personality, he didn't want to make such a guarantee.

However, facing the old man in front of him, Gu Yun didn't want to disappoint him: "I can..."

"Don't answer."

Before Gu Yun could speak, the old man's hand fell down: "The way of the future should be left to the future self. If you make a decision for your future life now, you will only leave regrets."

Gu Yun in the future may blame his past self and the old man who is like a frog in a well.

"Even if one day, Gu Yun, you made that decision."

Grandpa: "I also believe that you must have made a choice after careful consideration."

"Then, let's do it."

It doesn't matter whether it destroys the world or does a lot of evil.

If this is Gu Yun's own thoughts and wishes, the old man will not stop it, because he believes in the future judgment of Gu Yun.

"I have less than two years left to live."

"Xiao Guyun, you have been in my study, you should know," said the grandfather, "Actually, I have a way to continue living."

"Ah."

Among the spells collected by grandpa, there are some ways to extend life.

Most of them have side effects, and some are extremely evil. Grandpa would never want to live in that way.

But, he still has Gu Yun.

Gu Yun's power is more than sufficient for those forbidden spells that have extremely high requirements for spiritual status and have no side effects that Grandpa himself cannot perform.

Grandpa believes that as long as he speaks, Gu Yun will definitely help him prolong his life, and even gain eternal life.

"Don't do anything like that."

Grandpa asked Gu Yun, what is the difference between saving Nadeko and prolonging his life?

Without Gu Yun, Nadeshiko might only have one year to live, and Grandpa would only have two years to live.

Both are at risk of death.

If Gu Yun saves Nadeko, will he continue to save Grandpa, and then...

Endless!

"Everyone has his own mission," said Grandpa, "Maybe you don't like this sentence, but destiny is determined by God."

If you are dissatisfied in your heart and want to go against your fate, it is naturally possible.

"But grandpa and I," the old man said with a smile, "now I just want to take the boat of life and go down the river to see the scenery ahead of the journey I should have arrived at."

Death is not the end. After 80 years of life in this world, the next stop of the journey is called Huangquan.

"so…"

Gu Yun asked: "Sakura's appearance is also due to fate. It is the life that Ms. Nadeko should have experienced. I shouldn't interfere too much, should I?"

"Yes and no."

Grandpa told Gu Yun that Mei Yezi's curse was caused by the ancestors of the Mitsuchi family and had nothing to do with her.

To put it simply, Mei Yezi should have lived to be 80 years old, but because of Queen Suitian, she could not live to be 30.
However, Nadeko's life expectancy was counted by her grandfather back then, and she died at the age of 27!
"Does Xiao Guyun know about Culolido?"

"I've never heard of it, who is he?"

Gu Yun naturally knows that anyone who has watched "Cardcaptor Sakura" knows the name of Kuro Kuide.

In this world, Culolido is the descendant of the Kino Mori family who left Japan hundreds of years ago.

But in it, the blood of the Wooden Mori clan is actually not too much.

"Through intermarriage time and time again, the Senluo family has integrated into the blood of a certain family in the east, and has stolen the ancient magic inheritance of the country of Ying."

Clow Lido is a great magician bred under the three power systems of the East, the Far East, and the West.

In terms of strength, it is probably almost the same as Abe Seimei, the great onmyoji in Japanese legend.

"When I was observing Nadeshiko, I discovered that Sakura's birth was not an absolute coincidence."

Sakura is indeed a fetus, but that is only her physical body, while her soul comes from Clow Rido.

In this regard, Gu Yun is completely different.

His soul comes from another world, he is given flesh and blood by his mother in the true sense, and his soul is all given by God.

"Sakura's soul is very special, it reminds me of Alice, the flawless girl pursued by another branch of the Mori family."

"Then, what is it?"

Gu Yun found out that his old man was really knowledgeable, he felt like he knew everything.

"I don't know very well, I just heard people talk about it."

Grandpa said: "After the split of the Wood Clan, they were scattered in Europe, and the two most famous ones came from Germany and the country of Ying."

The descendant of Ying country's branch is Clow Lido.

As for the branch in Germany, its last generation patriarch is called Luo Zhen, who is an excellent puppet master and alchemist.

'This Five Elements family feels so powerful. '

As far as Gu Yun knows now, any family after the split of the Five Elements family has its own background and methods: "Ten famous families, so the gold content is so high?" '

"So all of this is Culolido's plan?"

Gu Yun had this idea before, but he was not sure.

But Grandpa, who has nothing to do with Culolido, also made the same judgment, so the possibility is very high.

And Gu Yun remembered that it seemed that in the manga, Sakura's mother Nadeko finally reunited with the Kinomoto family in the form of a spirit body.

Speaking of which, Culolido doesn't seem to be a bad guy.

"That's my judgment."

Grandpa said: "When I met Nadeko for the first time, I divination for her. She only has 27 years to live."

That's why, Snail felt that Nadeshiko was in destiny, destined to die.

Therefore, it is necessary to change fate against the sky in order to save Nadeko.

As for the appearance of Taoya and Sakura, it is more like the process leading to death.

Even without these two children, Nadeko would have died in an accident at the age of 27 one day.

"But if your guess is right, grandpa, Clowrido made Nadeko give birth to Sakura again..."

This is like a man-made deadline, the cause of death arranged by Clowrido for Nadeko.

"In my opinion, Culolido may not be hurting Nadeko," said Grandpa, "On the contrary, he is actually saving her."

If Nadeko is destined to die at the age of 27, which is her fate, then whether Sakura is born or not will not affect this ending.

On the contrary, the appearance of Sakura may break Nadeko's fate and give her a new possibility.

Listening to his grandfather's judgment, Gu Yun thought to himself: "So, is there an ending like in the comics?" '

"That's why I don't recommend Gu Yun to do more in-depth research."

Grandpa said: "About Nadeko's matter, we shouldn't get involved too much."

The Iijima family didn't know what Culolido wanted to do.

"Is there such a taboo about getting rid of the spirit circle?"

"there is."

Grandpa said: "If the other party is an evil warlock, we can take action, but this is a family affair of the Kino Mori clan."

"oh, I understand now."

Since he has no ability to interfere with the fate of Kinomoto's family, Gu Yun will not force himself to do so.

"So, I went back?"

"Don't worry," the snail quickly stopped the grandson: "It's already here, why don't you spend more time with grandpa."

"No, it just happens that the ring is not there."

Just in time, Grandpa thought it was time to take Gu Yun to meet an old friend, and broaden his grandson's horizons by the way.
