Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

She is Kinomoto Nadeshiko, a person who should have died three years ago.

However, thanks to Gu Yun's magic, Nadeshiko did not transform into a pure ghost.

In the end, Gu Yun did not choose to defy fate or perform the Taishan Fujun sacrifice.

He felt that Nadeshiko's fate was indeed not something that should be forced.

However, it is too cruel for a young child to lose his mother at such a young age.

Therefore, Gu Yun chose to take action.

He happened to find a kind of magic from the West in Yu Yao's collection.

Spiritual power can be converted into magical power, but not vice versa.

As the saying goes, different paths lead to the same destination. For Gu Yun, magic or spells are essentially no different.

So, Gu Yun used this magic to transform Nadeshiko into something akin to a guardian deity.

In the West, this specific guardian deity is called a 'guardian angel,' a very rare and highly difficult form of magic.

"No, this is what I should do."

Gu Yun said politely, "Although he is young, since Tao Shi has chosen to become my disciple, I have an obligation to take good care of him."

"Gu Yun is really reliable."

Nadeshiko floated in mid-air, covering her mouth and laughing.

To be honest, Nadeshiko was more worried about her daughter Sakura than Touya, who had been very steady since childhood.

That child was born with an exceptionally strong spiritual constitution.

To protect her, Gu Yun sealed away her magic.

This also resulted in Sakura being the only member of the Kinomoto family who couldn't see Nadeshiko.

"Greetings, Lady Nadeshiko."

Although Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't see Nadeshiko, she still greeted her.

Gu Yun relayed, "Fuko said you've become even more beautiful."

"Ah, really?"

Jing Ke'ai said happily, "Thank you, Madam, you are very beautiful too."

"You can't see it anyway."

"Don't expose me, you bastard Gu Yun!"

"Pfft~~"

Touya couldn't help but laugh at their playful banter.

This child is very studious.

Although he didn't say it, he never forgot his dream of reuniting his family.

He needs to work even harder so that Sakura can see her mother sooner.

Actually, Sakura will be even more outstanding than you in the future.

Gu Yun did not tell Tao Shi about this.

Furthermore, even if Touya doesn't work hard, once the boy grows up to a certain age, Nadeshiko can leave him and become Sakura's guardian angel.

At that time, Sakura will be able to see Nadeshiko.

This relationship will continue until Nadeshiko feels she has fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother.

When that time comes, Nadeshiko will leave her children and go to the underworld, where she will wait silently with the snails and others for the arrival of her family members who are still alive.

"Aren't guardian angels the same as ghosts?"

"They are completely different kinds of existence."

Unlike ordinary guardian spirits, guardian angels can touch things in the material world and can even eat food.

Apart from being essentially a spirit and thus invisible to those without spiritual power, it is almost indistinguishable from a living person.

It was through this method that Gu Yun protected the happiness of the Kinomoto family.

Furthermore, since Touya and the future Sakura both possess the ability to see ghosts, for the entire Kinomoto family, Nadeshiko is practically the same as if she had never died.

"I'll leave Touya to Tanigumo."

"it is good."

Nadeshiko smiled gently at Gu Yun, then entered the realm of the benevolent god and disappeared from Gu Yun and Touya's sight.

Guardian angels are not true gods, but they are similar to benevolent gods and are beings on par with Mr. Nanfeng.

"Brother Gu Yun, what kind of magic are you going to teach me today?"

"Don't be anxious."

Gu Yun patted the little boy on the shoulder. Ever since the Nadeshiko incident, the boy had regarded Gu Yun as an idol.

He didn't care about power, but he developed a great curiosity about magical knowledge.

Gu Yun didn't tell him about Fuko, hoping he could maintain this motivation and go further on the path of magic.

"Mr. Gu Yun".

"Gu Yun Onii-chan~~"

Soon, one person after another appeared at Gu Yun's house.

16-year-old high school girl Nanami Momozono, and 3-year-old Toru Takagami, who inherited the pure spiritual power of Miyako and the Mitsuchi family.

There's also Tsubagi Aoi, who's only 6 years old this year and has an extremely tragic background.

Tsubagi Aoi is the granddaughter of Tsubagi Shiro.

Two years ago, the girl's father died a violent death because of a curse.

Aoi's mother raised her, but abandoned her because she was afraid of Aoi's ability to see ghosts, leaving her to starve to death.

At that time, Shiro Tsubagi was with Tanigumo, sending Shiro's son to the underworld.

He died from a curse, his soul haunted by a great deal of resentment.

Such a soul is completely unable to travel to the Peach Blossom Spring in the Yellow Springs.

Even if they are forcibly sent to the afterlife, there is a high probability that they will still fall into hell.

Shiro Tsubaki is skilled in combat, but has only a superficial understanding of rituals, sacrifices, and magic.

With the snail already deceased, Tsubagi Shiro could only turn to Tanigumo, hoping he could help his son attain Buddhahood (be reborn in a better realm).

Gu Yun naturally had no choice but to take on the responsibility and successfully used the power of the gods to purify the other party's soul.

Afterwards, Aoi was adopted by Shiro Tsubagi and became a disciple of Tanigumo, where she learned the art of exorcism.

Shiro didn't expect his granddaughter to become powerful; he only hoped that she could protect herself in the future.

"teacher."

Kui greeted Gu Yun politely, and the latter patted the girl's head: "Kui has been practicing the Battle God Technique diligently."

"Ok!"

Because of Tsubaki Shiro's unreliability, Aoi was often entrusted to Tanigumo by him, which made their relationship extremely close.

To Gu Yun, Kui was like a little sister from a relative's family—a very well-behaved and sensible girl.

Shiro Tsubagi is such a jerk.

This guy even went so far as to declare, "You're a direct descendant of our Four Heavenly Kings!"

Now that the four families have merged into one, as the head of the family, I naturally have to uphold the reputation of the four families, cultivate these promising children, and expand the family's prestige.

Well, Gu Yun had already told this old man everything, so what else could he do?

Fortunately, Gu Yun does indeed like children quite a bit.

Of course, they must be well-behaved and sensible.

He wouldn't tolerate a brat like Hiratsuka Shizuka. If she dared to cause trouble, he'd spank her until her bottom was raw!

"Brother! x2"

"Yes, Xiao Si, Lu."

The last to arrive were Gu Yun's two younger cousins, Ritsu and Tsukasa.

As for Ritsu Iijima, he no longer wears women's clothing at the age of 7.

But Gu Yun still likes to tease him about this.

As for Xiao Si, she, like Lu, inherited the bloodline of the snail.

This child's spiritual level is not high, barely reaching 5 points.

However, Gu Yun's classes were not solely for teaching them magic.

More importantly, it's about knowledge of various monsters and how to deal with them.

For example, the difference between a soul, a wronged spirit, and a vengeful ghost.

What should you do if you encounter ghost stories?

Which demons are harmless, and which are dangerous?

Gu Yun didn't expect them to be able to confront the demons head-on, but at least they needed to know their own strength and how powerful their opponents were.

"Sister Jing."

Aoi greeted Hiratsuka Shizuka happily.

"Oh, Xiao Kui, you've come to learn magic too?"

Jing Ke'ai smiled and said, "You actually came here to listen to Gu Yun tell stories, right?"

The two have known each other for many years.

In Aoi's eyes, Hiratsuka Shizuka is a super rich older sister who often buys her snacks.
