Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

If one cultivates diligently for ten or twenty years, one's magical power will certainly be extraordinary.

The only problem is that Gu Yun doesn't have any magic for Tao Shi to learn.

Magic is a Western import; it arrived in Japan as early as the 14th century, along with firearms and guns.

Over the years, many Japanese spells have evolved to the point that they can be activated and transformed using magic.

While it's true that spiritual power can do things that magic power can't.

However, the difference between the two is not that dramatic.

In percentage terms, magic can do what 90% of spiritual power can do.

The extra 10% are mostly extremely terrifying forbidden techniques, such as methods to change one's fate.

Little Momoya's spirit level is only in the early 40s, and the forbidden techniques he cannot learn almost all require a spirit level of 50 or higher.

Therefore, whether one possesses magical power or spiritual power makes little difference.

"magic…"

Gu Yun thought that Tao Shi was too young to understand what she meant, so she was about to leave when the boy grabbed her clothes: "Can you... can you make Mommy better?"

Touya's words startled Gu Yun.

I cannot give a guarantee.

Gu Yun didn't want to lie to this child who cherished his family.

"why is it like this…"

Touya lowered his head in disappointment, his eyes filled with frustration.

"You definitely can't do it now, because you're still too young."

Gu Yun said, "But I will try, and perhaps I can find a way to restore your mother's health."

Seeing Touya and Nadeshiko, Gu Yun inexplicably thought of himself and Tamaki.

If one day Huan were to suffer the same curse, Gu Yun would surely do everything in his power to protect her.

"Really, is it really okay?"

The boy gripped Gu Yun's clothes tightly, his head bowed, his eyes filled with tears, but he still tried to smile: "Thank you, big brother."

Gu Yun is 9 years old and Tao Shi is 8 years old, but the child is developing more slowly and is a head taller than Gu Yun.

"Just call me Brother Gu Yun."

Gu Yun patted Touya's head and thought to himself, "In that case, if I meet Sakura in the future, she should call me Gu Yun Onii-chan, right?"

By forging a good relationship with the Kinomoto family, you can gain two promising allies like Touya and Sakura in the future.

In Gu Yun's plan, the Iijima family not only wanted to build a conglomerate and become a powerful family in the mortal world, but also to develop enough connections and power in the exorcism world.

Only in this way can the Iijima family gain control of the narrative and avoid being bullied by others.

"Truly worthy of being the master."

At this moment, Xiaobai, sandwiched between Gu Yun and Tao Yi, clearly sensed its master's longing and ambition: "We have to tell everyone quickly."

Xiao Bai naturally had no idea what Gu Yun was thinking, but the shikigami could sense the changes in its master's emotions.

Just now, a fleeting ambition crossed Gu Yun's mind, one that he himself might not even be aware of.

But this couldn't be hidden from Xiaobai.

He heard his master's desire to dominate the world!

Next, the banquet continued.

Mr. Masashige announced that Xiaoyang had become the adopted daughter of the Iijima family without changing her surname, and Gu Yun also gained a lovely adopted sister, receiving blessings from the wealthy people present.

Yukino Yukinoshita, who will have a mature and sophisticated aura in the future, is now just a shy little girl who is timid and hesitant even when greeting Tanigumo.

However, she gets along very well with Hiratsuka Shizuka.

In just a short while, she had already joined Jing's lovely little group.

Goodbye, Brother Gu Yun~~

After the banquet, Touya took his great-grandfather's hand and said goodbye to Gu Yun.

Gu Yun has no magic at hand and cannot find anyone to lead Touya into the exorcism circle for the time being. Moreover, this matter must first be approved by the Kinomoto family.

Otherwise, such a hasty action would be tantamount to child trafficking.

In addition, Gu Yun also needs to ask his grandfather for his opinion.

"Does Grandpa know about Aunt Nadeshiko's matter?"

In the car, Gu Yun brought up this issue, and her mother said, "I was going to tell you this anyway."

Tamaki Iijima told her son everything her father had told her, in much more detail than the few words he had mentioned before.

"Ah."

After listening, Gu Yun stroked his chin and pondered, "Almost all spells that can change one's fate are forbidden."

"These types of spells have very high requirements for spiritual quality and are almost always accompanied by huge side effects."

As far as Gu Yun knew, the lowest requirement for spiritual points among the techniques for changing fate was 50.

Moreover, this kind of fate-altering technique cannot be considered a true change of fate; it can only be described as exploiting loopholes and belonging to unorthodox methods.

It's like you're trying to resurrect someone, but you end up turning them into a zombie or a vampire.

Essentially, this can be considered a kind of 'resurrection'.

However, in the definition of fantasy, this should be considered necromancy, not resurrection.

The same applies to changing one's fate.

The method of changing one's fate with a spirit level of 50 or higher exploits this loophole.

To truly change one's destiny, this kind of magic requires at least 60 points of spiritual energy.

“I saw this spell at my grandfather’s place,” Gu Yun said. “However, that spell was incomplete, and if it were forcibly cast, it might leave significant side effects.”

That kind of price is absolutely unacceptable to Gu Yun and Iijima Tamaki.

"this…"

Tamaki Iijima felt a pang of regret. She cared deeply about Nadeshiko's health, but if the price was her own child...

Please don't blame her. As a mother, Tamaki Iijima only wanted to be a selfish woman when it came to issues involving Tanigumo.

"Mother, you don't need to blame yourself."

Gu Yun said, "Aunt Fuko is your good friend, but have you forgotten what Grandpa said?"

"If we can save one person, we should first observe and see if that person is worth saving."

If the person possessed by an evil spirit is extremely wicked, then even if the snail has the ability, it will not interfere.

"If it's worth saving."

Gu Yun continued, "We saved him because we are of noble character; it would be perfectly reasonable not to."

The Iijima family had no obligation to help the world or to be compassionate.

They are still ordinary people at heart. Is there a rule in this world that ordinary people must help others when they see them in need, otherwise they are considered heartless and cold-blooded?

Stop joking, where did this saintly talk come from?

Humans are inherently selfish.

Grandpa's ability to restrain himself from using magic to do evil and his willingness to accept a simple life is already quite remarkable.

For that reason alone, no one can ask them for anything more.

"Don't worry, Mother."

Seeing that Iijima Tamaki understood, Gu Yun continued, "My spiritual level is very high, so even if it's a fate-altering technique with a level of 70 or higher, it won't have any side effects."

"But, Gu Yun, do you know such powerful magic?"

So, you see…

Gu Yun said somewhat awkwardly that it wasn't a matter of whether he knew how to use it, but rather that even his grandfather didn't have a collection of spells of this level.

“Spells that require 70 spirit points to cast are all forbidden spells among forbidden spells without exception.”

"Mother, have you heard of the Taishan Fujun Festival?"

"The Taishan Fujun Festival?"

Tamaki Iijima subconsciously shook her head, but then heard Nao Hayasaka, sitting in the passenger seat, say, "Is it that, the legendary Onmyoji spell that can revive the dead?"

"Naiyo-nee, do you know?"

Gu Yun said, "That's right, it's that spell."

"Resurrecting the dead, does that mean they come back to life?!"

Tamaki Iijima never expected that the spiritual power passed down from the old man could even accomplish something like this.

It is important to understand that resurrection is an extremely difficult phenomenon in any mythology.

It is rarely seen in the West, and even in the East it is something that can be described as a 'divine means' in legends.

"The spirit requirement for the Taishan Fujun Festival is 72 points."

Gu Yun said, "This spell is widely known in the exorcism world, but no one has ever seen it."

This is also a matter of course.

A requirement of 72 Spirit Points is simply outrageous.

Before meeting Gu Yun, Snail even thought that there was no one in the world with a spirit level of 70 or higher.

"The principle of the Taishan Fujun Festival is to forcibly recall the souls of the dead from the Yellow Springs and Hell, while using magic to create material and regenerate the body to reshape the flesh and blood."

"Then, the spirit and body will be united to complete the perfect resurrection of a dead person."

Tamaki Iijima and Nao Hayasaka were stunned as they listened, for what Gu Yun was saying was beyond their comprehension.
