Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

In addition, there's his perfect purity of spiritual energy.

With the same amount of spiritual power, Gu Yun's magic could almost crush his grandfather's spiritual power.

That's Iijima Gosho, a highly legendary exorcism master.

An ordinary mage would probably not even have the courage to put up a fight.

"With my current spiritual power, I can easily make four amulets."

These days, Gu Yun not only learned many spells, but also greatly improved his spiritual power. In addition, with the extremely high purity of his spiritual power, Gu Yun has no need to worry that his protective amulet is inferior to the one made by his grandfather.

The capacity of the guardian spirits varies depending on their quality.

These four belong to the intermediate-level divine servants.

Gu Yun's spiritual power was sufficient to fill it to its limit.

"Master, use my power."

Xiao Bai's voice echoed in Gu Yun's mind.

【Hakuzosu】

Rank: Special-grade demon

Talents: Flame Manipulation, Dream Mountain Barrier

As Gu Yun's strength increased, Xiao Bai also awakened two talents, one of which, Dream Mountain Barrier, is an extremely powerful barrier spell.

"it is good."

Gu Yun had Xiao Bai possess his body, and then he added the 'Dream Mountain Guardian Oath' to the four divine guardian amulets.

In this world, shikigami can be summoned to help sorcerers in battle.

They can also possess warlocks, granting them their power.

Just like now, Xiaobai possessed Gu Yun, causing his power to surge instantly.

This power includes Xiaobai's demonic power, as well as her own original spiritual power.

When the two are combined, 1+1 is far greater than 2.

"Whoo~~~"

Gu Yun's teeth grew sharper, and his eyes turned into beastly pupils.

At the same time, a strong urge to destroy arose within him.

Xiao Bai is an unsafe entity. Gu Yun can only use its possession for 1 minute, otherwise Xiao Bai will lose control and forcibly break free from the possession state.

"It's done!"

Fortunately, Gu Yun completed the production of the four divine servant amulets in just over 20 seconds.

【Dream Mountain Flame Shadow Guardian】

Quality: Intermediate

Effect: When the wearer encounters danger, an independent Dream Mountain Barrier will be activated, protecting them until their spiritual power is exhausted.

"not bad."

Looking at the contents of the scroll in his mind, Gu Yun nodded in satisfaction.

This is a feature of the scroll discovered by Gu Yun.

It can identify things that possess spiritual power and relay the information about them to Gu Yun.

"Grandpa, the amulet is here."

Gu Yun handed the four amulets to his grandfather, who then distributed them to the four people: "You must wear them carefully and never take them off. Even the children must wear them at all times."

Grandpa wanted Gu Yun to practice, but he couldn't say that the amulet was made by Gu Yun.

After all, Gu Yun is still a child.

For laypeople, older exorcists are more reassuring.

'In just a few days, they've even been able to make amulets.'

Grandpa had naturally sensed that these four amulets were of very high quality, definitely rare and exquisite items.

If sold to shrines and temples, they could make a fortune.

However, Grandpa did not recommend that Gu Yun do this.

For practitioners, using magic to earn money can easily lead to karmic entanglements and attract numerous troubles.

If you only cultivate yourself and don't exorcise spirits, you won't encounter any danger.

Once you start treating exorcism as a job, you'll accept commissions and need to go to places where paranormal events occur.

Therefore, the karmic consequences mentioned here actually refer to a series of troubles that follow.

Whether it comes from demons or monsters, or from the covetousness of others.

It's not that practitioners can't make money with magic, but saying that would cause a lot of trouble.

Money is only enough to live on.

There's no need to put yourself in danger just to make money.

This was Grandpa's code of conduct.

Of course, for Gu Yun, with Iijima Tamaki's abilities, money was just a number.

"Thank you, thank you, Professor Iijima."

The Takanashi couple accepted the amulet and thanked them repeatedly.

Although the two of them had obtained countless such amulets from various shrines.

However, those things were completely useless.

This is also a matter of course.

The protective charm itself is just a material; to become a true amulet, it must be enhanced with spiritual power and magic.

Among the shrine maidens and priests, there may be those with powerful magical abilities.

But the Takanashi family certainly wasn't lucky enough to be able to buy a genuine amulet.

“The protective amulet is only one part of it.”

Grandpa noticed the Takanashi family's worry and said, "Please explain the situation so I can think of a way to exorcise the demon."

"Xiao Gu Yun, could you take care of this cute little girl?"

Grandpa will later recount this paranormal event to Gu Yun, adding his own analysis and solutions.

Therefore, it doesn't matter much whether Gu Yun is there or not; it would be better to go and take care of the little girl.

"Your name is Takanashi?"

Can I call you by your name?

In Japan, only close friends or family members can call each other by their first names.

But they are only eight or nine years old, so there's no need to make things so complicated.

"Ah."

Takanashi Toka is very cute.

She had long, jet-black hair and wore a white dress. She seemed a little shy, and several times she stole glances at Gu Yun, but each time she looked away the moment he turned his head away.

“Don’t be so nervous,” Gu Yun said. “My name is Gu Yun, Iijima Gu Yun.”

"You can call me Iijima."

“However, everyone in my family is called Iijima,” Gu Yun said with a smile, “so it’s better if you just call me by my name here.”

Having two younger siblings, Ryu and Si, Gu Yun knew very well how to get along with children.

"Um…"

Shihua cautiously began, "Gu Yun."

Chapter 10 Haunted House

In the afternoon, the Iijima family returned from flower viewing.

Grandpa told them that the Takanashi family would be staying here for a while.

The family members did not react to this.

In fact, throughout the history of the Iijima House, countless people have come to visit and stayed there for no apparent reason, so there's really nothing strange about it.

After dinner, Grandpa asked Lu and Xiaosi to play with Shihua and Liuhua.

The two children were very enthusiastic about the new lady and baby.

"Gu Yun, come here for a moment."

Gu Yun knew that her grandfather was about to tell her the whole story of this supernatural event.

"I already understand the basics."

"This case was likely caused by a cursed earthbound spirit."

After a person or other object dies, its range of movement is limited to a specific area. The spirits of the dead who are bound to that area often harbor resentment and thus become evil spirits.

Generally speaking, earthbound spirits cannot leave the place of their death.

"Ju-on" (The Grudge).

Grandpa said, "This matter is much more complicated than that of ordinary earthbound spirits."

"The only thing that can be confirmed now is that the cause of this curse has nothing to do with the Takanashi family."

The matter originated from Mrs. Takanashi, based on previous conversations.

Mr. Takanashi is a senior executive at the company with a substantial annual income, but he is also a diligent and conscientious person. Whether at home or at the company, Mr. Takanashi has a good reputation.

As for Mrs. Takanashi, because of her kind heart and her inability to stay at home, she would occasionally go out to do what she could.
