Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

However, Tamaki Iijima saw things more clearly than the two women.

In her perception, although Touya Kinomoto was young, his body contained an extremely special and enormous power.

This power is different from the spiritual power of Eastern people; it is more colorful and vibrant.

how to say…

If spiritual power is pure, colorless, and attribute-free energy, then the power possessed by Momoshiki is multicolored, like a radiance formed by the fusion of multiple attributes.

Tamaki Iijima didn't know what this energy was, and she asked her father, hoping he could help Nadeshiko recover her health.

But the snail said it was powerless to help.

He told Tamaki Iijima that he knew what the power within Touya was, and also why Nadeshiko was physically weak.

But the snails couldn't do anything about it, because it wasn't a disease at all, but a calamity called divine jealousy.

Simply put, it's about an ordinary person giving birth to a child with immense power.

During pregnancy, spiritual energy constantly erodes the mother's body, much like exposing an ordinary person to radiation.

In theory, Tamaki Iijima should be like Nadeshiko.

But her situation is rather special.

The Iijima family bloodline allowed Tamaki Iijima to bear the cost of giving birth to Kumo Tani.

In contrast, Nadeshiko, who was just an ordinary person, was like a sacrifice on the path to the birth of her children, punished by heaven and deprived of the maternal love that her children should have enjoyed.

"The child needs to rest and recuperate; she must not have any more children."

Tamaki Iijima still remembered what her father had told her.

One Touya took half of Nadeshiko's life; if another one came, it would be the end for her.

However, two years ago, Nadeshiko's daughter, Sakura, was born.

Another child with a powerful spiritual presence made things even worse for Nadeshiko's already frail and sickly body.

According to the snail, Nadeshiko's fate was already predetermined.

Unless a sorcerer forcibly changes her fate.

However, without exception, all spells that can change one's fate are forbidden spells among forbidden spells, and even the simplest ones require more than 70 points of spirit, or even higher.

If 50 spirit points is considered the level of a current human god, then the requirement of 70 spirit points is simply outrageous.

The snail's spirit level is less than 50, so even with its immense spiritual power, it cannot cultivate such forbidden techniques.

"Hello, Mr. Tiangong."

Gu Yun quickly bowed and asked, "Do you know my grandfather?"

The wealthy people present didn't know much about Gu Yun's grandfather, and didn't even know what he did for a living.

Snail is a low-key person, so only those in the exorcism circle know about him.

In the world of ordinary people, Snail is an unknown novelist.

With such an identity, it's impossible for him to have any connection with these people.

Therefore, it can only be a connection based on the supernatural.

"Yes, we are very good friends."

Just as everyone was speculating about the snail's identity, Tengu Maki revealed a kind smile: "I encountered some things when I was young, and I was fortunate to have the help of Iijima-sensei."

"Xiao Gu Yun, you must have inherited Teacher Snail's skills, right?"

“I am still quite a bit behind my grandfather,” Gu Yun said modestly, “but if you need anything, the Iijima family will do its best to help.”

The probability of a normal person encountering a paranormal event is really low.

Generally speaking, the greater a person's influence, the lower the likelihood that they will be eliminated by those who are different from them.

You can interpret this as meaning that this person has a very tough life, and ordinary demons and monsters can't touch him.

Tengu Maki wasn't afraid of demons. He came to the banquet mainly to ask the snail to help him again and give him some advice on his granddaughter Fuko's illness.

"By the way, this is my great-grandson, Touya."

"Young Master Touya, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Gu Yun reached out his hand to Kinomoto Touya, but the boy was too shy to go forward.

Gu Yun naturally saw the power emanating from Touya Kinomoto.

Regarding this colorful energy, Gu Yun had heard the old man say, "Is this magic? It is indeed very beautiful."

Spiritual power is an energy system developed by people in the East, and magic power and spiritual power are essentially the same thing.

If you want to say that magic is converted from spiritual energy, that's fine too.

Magic power possesses multiple attributes, leaning more towards demonic power, but it is much more stable and complex than demonic power.

If spiritual power is an omnipotent force, then magical power is a product of unorthodox methods.

Anything that magic can do, spiritual power can also do.

Conversely, what spiritual power can do, magic power may not be able to do.

“In terms of spiritual status, Touya should be between 40 and 50.”

Although Touya's spirit is powerful, it has not yet reached the level of a living god, and there is still a certain gap compared to Miyako.

"Wikimoto..."

Gu Yun has excellent hearing; the name Mei and Sonomi just mentioned was indeed 'Sakura'.

If Gu Yun wasn't mistaken, he asked, "Does the old man Tiangong have a great-granddaughter named Kinomoto Sakura?"

"Yes, that's right. Sakura is a very cute child."

Just as Gu Yun had guessed, the person in front of him, Kinomoto Touya, was indeed the older brother of the first Moe Queen, Kinomoto Sakura.

Therefore, it's not surprising that the Kinomoto family possesses such spiritual power.

"The Five Elements are one family, the Wood element is the most abundant."

Granny Mitsumi once told Gu Yun that due to the turmoil in the Japanese exorcism world, the Wood Clan fled overseas hundreds of years ago.

Their descendants fled to England and Germany, where they married and had children.

The ancestors of the Senluo clan valued bloodline integration and liked to incorporate magic from the East, Far East, West, and Southeast Asia into their own system, demonstrating a strong spirit of innovation.

The Kinomoto family is not part of the Shinra clan, but Touya and Sakura's father, Fujitaka Kinomoto, is the reincarnation of the legendary magician Clow Reed.

"The art of reincarnation?"

The spell that allows one to control their own soul and reincarnate requires a Spirit Rank of 60 or higher.

This shows that even among the current gods and humans, Clow Reed is a very powerful being.

"I will discuss Miss Nadeshiko's matter with Grandpa again."

“Then I’ll leave it to the Iijima family,” Amamiya Maki said, knowing full well what she could offer in return: “If there’s anything I can do to help you in the future, just let me know.”

Gu Yun can learn any spell, but his spiritual power is insufficient to support him in casting those powerful forbidden spells.

Therefore, Gu Yun did not completely agree, but only said that he would give it a try.

He couldn't guarantee whether it would succeed or not.

Chapter 56 Sacrifice to the Lord of Mount Tai

"This is enough."

Amamiya Maki nodded in thanks: "It's really too much trouble for you, Iijima-sama and Snail-sensei."

The old man couldn't repay the Iijima family in any way.

All he owns is the Tiangong Group.

Regardless of whether Nadeshiko recovers in the end, Amamiya Mayori will do her best to support Iijima Tamaki and help her succeed.

At this point, all the important guests for the alliance ceremony between Iijima and Yukinoshita had arrived.

Yukinoshita Masashige, holding the hand of Haruno, who was dressed like a princess, led her to the front of the stage and began his speech: "Today is my daughter, Yukinoshita Haruno's birthday..."

"Crash."

Gu Yun stood below, clapping along with everyone else, and offering birthday wishes to Xiao Yang.

"Mmm, the cakes here are so delicious."

"This piece of meat is delicious too!"

The banquet began, and Kūgen led the shikigami to enjoy the buffet dinner. Kinomoto Touya, who could see ghosts, was curiously observing the shikigami.

The boy didn't make a sound. He had been able to see ghosts and such since he was a child, and he had long since learned the skill of keeping silent.

"You can see it, right?"

Gu Yun approached Tao Shi and was impressed by the shy and introverted boy: "Do you know magic?"

"Wha, what?"

Xiao Taoya is 7 years old this year. He has never been exposed to games or literary works about magic or ghosts, so he looks blank when Gu Yun talks about magic.

"noob."

Gu Yun didn't explain, but instead beckoned Xiao Bai to his side.

The boy clearly knew that Xiaobai was an outsider, and he was somewhat afraid.

"Don't be afraid, Little White won't hurt you."

Gu Yun snapped his fingers, setting up a soundproof barrier to create space for their conversation: "Xiao Bai is my shikigami, or, in Western terms, a familiar."

Of course, Touya had never heard of either shikigami or familiars.

"Too young, can't you understand?"

Gu Yun felt a little regretful. His original idea was to bring Kinomoto Touya into the supernatural world as well.

His spiritual level is not low, exceeding 40 points, which is enough to allow him to 'see' even evil gods and malice.
