Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

'I really want to beat her up!'

But the little female ghost had no physical body, so Gu Yun couldn't hit her even if he wanted to.

'If only I could turn that little demon into a shikigami…'

Gu Yun isn't looking for power or strength this time; as long as he can get clues about the shikigami related to the female imp, he's determined to take her down.

Then, ruthlessly humiliate her, so she'll know the consequences of offending you!

"But the little female devil is a bit weak."

Look at Gozenjin, she's the only one who has the final say in the Pure Land.

Anyone who dares to jump in front of her will be slapped to death.

Although this is also related to Miketsu's physical body, which allows her to even contend with the Twelve Heavens of the Upper Realm with the advantage of playing on her home turf.

Even if she can't win, she has the confidence to keep the opponent out and protect Gu Yun with the entire Pure World as a barrier.

In contrast, the female ghost's next life is governed by complicated rules that she has no control over.

To put it bluntly, this guy is just a referee.

She has the right to kick someone off the field, but if the other party follows the rules of the game, even a little devil can't do anything about these guys.

That's really bad!

"Never mind, even if it's just to beat her up, I'll turn her into a shikigami!"

Making a silent vow in his heart, Gu Yun left the riverbank and walked towards the street in front of the bathhouse.

Chapter 134 The Great Onmyoji of Africa? The Deer Boy's Warning!

"It's quite lively."

Gu Yun walked out of the deserted alley, and the space in front of him suddenly opened up. On the bustling street, a large number of shadowy, lingering spirits were wandering around.

Calling them shadows isn't entirely wrong.

A person and their shadow are one.

Your shadow accompanies you throughout your life; the person who knows you best in this world is your shadow.

Therefore, in this world, shadows will take the place of the reincarnated person, dedicating their lives to the next life and becoming a part of this place.

"But I always feel like I don't belong in this world."

As he walked, Gu Yun noticed many figures observing him. He glanced at his clothes, which were indeed somewhat strange, as they were modern attire.

Is it because of this outfit?

Gu Yun casually touched his body, and his original home clothes began to transform into a Japanese kimono: "This should be fine, right?"

'What powerful magic!'

There are many strange and unusual people around Gu Yun.

For example, a group of chubby, fluffy yellow chickens are called the Great Bird Gods. It is said that the chicks that failed to hatch and grow up successfully and died along the way will become the Great Bird Gods.

The job of such deities is to protect newborn humans and animals, allowing them to grow up healthily.

"Most of them are tsukumogami, but there are also spirits, benevolent gods, and deities."

Besides these, there are also spirits transformed from pots and pans.

As mentioned before, in Japanese culture, all things have spirits and will one day die.

When people die, they become ghosts; when stones, plants, and trees die, they become spirits; and when inanimate tools die, they give birth to tsukumogami (spirits).

Tsukumogami are like the spirits of objects.

Because they themselves are not 'born', tsukumogami are more like a new life.

"Where did they come from? From the human world?"

Gu Yun wanted to communicate with them to see if he could trigger new shikigami clues.

To teach the will of the next life a lesson, Gu Yun began to exert his power.

"..."

The deity, who looked like a radish, bowed to Gu Yun as a greeting.

"Oh, hello, hello."

When the other party bowed, Gu Yun naturally couldn't be impolite and quickly nodded in acknowledgment.

Unfortunately, this radish-shaped deity did not communicate with Gu Yun. It seems that in this world, the deities are not given to speaking.

Come to think of it, words have power; the words of the gods themselves possess great magical power.

Soon, Gu Yun saw the vermilion bridge ahead and the bathhouse standing on the opposite bank, which was the place where the gods relaxed and recuperated in the afterlife.

"So what's the difference between the next life and the Pure Land?"

Gu Yun discovers that the bathhouse in the afterlife and the Konohana-tei in the purification of the world are surprisingly similar in function.

"The direction of self-cultivation is different."

Miketsu explained to Tanigumo, "Purification is mainly about relaxing the mind, while the afterlife is about cleansing the body of impurities."

The afterlife connects to the underworld, which can be said to be the dirtiest place in the world besides the filthy world.

But the filth here is different from the curses of the corrupt world; it's more like garbage in the eyes of all living beings.

"No wonder that little brat has a foul mouth, hehe."

“Please don’t say that,” Miketsu said. “That child does have a bit of a temper, but she’s not a bad person.”

"Mizuki, you don't understand. To deal with a little brat like this, you have to teach her a lesson!"

Gu Yun has now encountered the female ghost, which has become another main quest for him in his next life.

In fact, Gu Yun was confident that he could rescue Qian Xun.

As long as the opponent is not a powerhouse at the twelfth level, with his current magical skills, nothing is too difficult for him.

The most powerful people in the entire bathhouse are Yubaba and Haku.

Now that Haku is nowhere to be found, and as for Yubaba's strength, it's not that Gu Yun looks down on her, but this Western witch's level is really quite ordinary.

Even if it comes down to force, Gu Yuntang is a perfect spiritual being who traverses the three realms (the present world, the afterlife, and the pure world).

Granny Tang, how dare she disrespect Gu Yun?

As for money and benefits...

Miketsu is an extremely wealthy woman. The power of faith (the currency of the divine world) she holds has accumulated over thousands of years to an astronomical figure.

Gu Yun has the ability, the status, the connections, and the money.

Could someone like him really not be able to save a little Chihiro?

You said Gu Yunli made a promise, which is not good.

Gu Yun: What flag? This is clearly the confidence of a strong person!

"Hello, everyone."

In a better mood, Gu Yun also became interested and began asking the guests around her, "Where are you all from?"

Gu Yun's question went unanswered; the Radish God didn't speak, but simply pointed in a direction.

For some inexplicable reason, Gu Yun actually understood its meaning: "From the boundary between the ocean and the land?"

"Hey?"

Gu Yun blinked, realizing he seemed to be able to communicate with these strange deities: 'Not mind reading, just simple 'understanding'?'

"..."

The Carrot God nodded, narrowing his eyes as if he were smiling at Gu Yun.

"Yubaixian?"

Gu Yun thought for a moment and quickly found the other party's divine nature: "So you are also a god who controls abundance."

Goshira is a deity in local Japanese religions, also known as the god of silkworms, the god of horses, and the god of agriculture.

In addition, Gu Yun also saw a string of seashells around the neck of the Radish God, and discovered that the god seemed to have the power to bless aquatic harvests.

In conclusion, this is a kind deity who protects the region and is very helpful to humankind.

[Obtained clues to the new shikigami 'Ebisu']

Ebisu

Awakening Needs: On Boys' Day, May 5th, raise a carp streamer and call out Ebisu's name.

A new clue has appeared!!

Gu Yun secretly thought that his idea was indeed correct; contact with these strange gods could awaken new shikigami.

Unfortunately, this time the clue they obtained was about Ebisu.

In Onmyoji, Ebisu is a gentle, steady, and kind old man. Because he rides a goldfish, he is affectionately called "Goldfish Grandpa" by players.

'Grandpa Goldfish isn't strong enough.'

Ebisu is also a major deity in Japan. He and Miketsu are considered the pillars of Japanese commerce.

However, no matter how you look at it, Ebisu doesn't seem like the type to summon a female demon.

Furthermore, Ebisu is not a flawed shikigami.

Without any defects, unless Gu Yun uses some forbidden technique, it would be difficult for them to merge with the will of the world.

After all, this is actually harming one's own shikigami.

To do such a thing in order to punish the female demon ultimately goes against Gu Yun's principles.

'What a pity.'

Gu Yun thought to himself, 'Of course, I'm not looking down on you, Grandpa Goldfish. Don't blame me, don't blame me.'

Gu Yun held each of his shikigami in the highest esteem.
