"The countryside."
Iijima Taniun was sitting in the car, resting his hands on his hands, looking out the window at the scenery along the way.
"I'm going to see my grandfather soon."
The person driving the car is called Iijima Tamaki, and she is Gu Yun's mother in this world.
As for her father, perhaps even Iijima Tamaki herself didn't know when she got drunk and gave birth to Gu Yun with a man who appeared out of nowhere.
Tamaki Iijima is a strong woman. After entering the society, she relied on her own efforts to build a publishing house.
Although he is not comparable to those truly powerful giants, Tamaki Iijima still managed to hold on to his fortune when the bubble burst, and even took advantage of this opportunity to see his net worth rise significantly.
So if you calculate it this way, then Gu Yun is actually a rich second generation in this life.
"Does grandpa know magic?"
The place where Iijima Tamaki wants to send Tani Yun to is the home of her father, Tani Yun's grandfather, the folklore and fantasy novelist Rei Iijima.
In Japan, younger generations call their grandfather and maternal grandfather "Grandpa".
"It's just not doing your job properly."
Tamaki Iijima has an independent personality and insists on not getting married.
But she doesn't hate Gu Yun, on the contrary, she dotes on him very much.
In Japanese society, it is difficult for women to get ahead, so mothers have to work hard to create an image of an iron lady.
Over time, it even became like this in front of my own children.
Sometimes, my mother is very distressed, worried that Gu Yun will hate her.
Fortunately, Gu Yun could understand her.
Gu Yun was an orphan in his previous life and had no parents, so he cherished his relationship with Tamaki Iijima.
Having been a human being for two lifetimes, Gu Yun could feel her care from her mother's words, as well as her worry that she was not gentle enough and could not be a good mother. .
"You can't learn from him," the mother said. "I just asked him to solve your troubles. When the problem is solved, he will come back to Tokyo immediately."
"The relationship between mother and grandfather is not good?"
"snort."
Her mother is the second daughter of the Iijima family, but she always felt that her father did not like her.
If it weren't for solving Gu Yun's problem, her mother would not be willing to return to this countryside. She is from Tokyo.
What's wrong with Gu Yun?
In fact, it's not a problem, it's just that Gu Yun awakened his golden finger.
Before Gu Yun traveled through time, he was playing a mobile game called Itchy Mouse.
And just when he had collected all the illustrations and was browsing the new Shikigami scrolls, his eyes suddenly went dark.
When he woke up again, he found himself lying in the arms of a woman.
"Master, haven't you arrived yet?"
On the seat next to Gu Yun was a red and white creature that looked like a dog and a fox.
It is the SSR Shikigami in the Itchy Mouse mobile game——Xiaobai, Bai Zangzhu.
"Not yet, Xiaobai."
Gu Yun stroked its head, feeling the delicate and soft touch, and comforted: "Keep on holding on, we'll be there soon."
Xiaobai is the first shikigami that automatically lights up when Gu Yun starts the scroll.
Gu Yun didn't know the reason why Xiaobai was awakened.
When asked about its origin, I still have no idea.
Xiaobai calls Gu Yun his master.
But it has no memory of the past.
The only thing he knew was that he was Gu Yun's shikigami and wanted to protect Gu Yun.
Originally, Gu Yun wanted to say that the world was safe and that Xiaobai might not need protection.
However, Gu Yun was soon slapped in the face.
After his eighth birthday, he discovered that his eyes seemed to have changed and he could actually see monsters and ghosts.
Also awakening at the same time was a painting of a hundred ghosts.
There are some shadows painted on the scroll, not as many as in the game, but there are still a lot of them.
At that moment, Gu Yun realized the problem.
There are demons and monsters in this world, but ordinary people cannot see them.
Gu Yun initially blamed the Shikigami Emaki for this incident, thinking that it gave him this ability.
But that night, Gu Yun was slapped in the face again.
"Can you take it back?"
The mother looked at Xiaobai from time to time, but quickly looked away, not daring to look any further.
"The monster is in my car," my mother's voice trembled slightly, "It's so scary."
Iijima Tamaki could see Xiaobai, and when he saw it for the first time, he rushed directly in front of Gu Yun, picked up a broom and tried to drive it away.
He was waving the broom nervously and telling Gu Yun to run quickly.
Gu Yun was both funny and touched.
"It's my shikigami, it won't hurt anyone."
"All right."
Perhaps thinking of the previous incident, Iijima Tamaki's image of a strict mother collapsed a bit. She said: "Really, that guy loves to cause trouble for me. This weird ability has troubled me all my life, and now it's Come to harm you."
"Can grandfather also see monsters?"
"It's all his fault!"
According to his mother, the Iijima family has had a bad relationship with monsters since their grandfather's generation.
Grandfather, several of his children, including Iijima Tamaki, most of them have spiritual powers and can see demons, ghosts and other inhuman things.
However, this ability is of no use at all.
Just like if you say to your classmates, "There are monsters," they will not only not take it seriously, but they will think you are a weirdo and a middle-aged child.
This also resulted in Iijima Tamaki having few friends during school.
"It's because he inherited too much of that guy's blood that he disappeared a few years ago and has not been found until now."
The Iijima family had seven children, four sons and three daughters. The youngest son died in infancy.
And the 'kai' that Iijima Tamaki refers to, the full name is Iijima Kai, he is the younger brother with whom she has the best relationship, the third son of her grandfather, and Gu Yun's uncle.
"You can actually subdue the shikigami."
"How strong is this blood? Isn't it enough that you can see dirty things?"
You can see monsters and ghosts in Iijima Ring.
But she was very afraid of them and didn't want to be friends with them.
Tamaki Iijima's spiritual constitution has troubled him over the years.
When she thought that her children would have to live like that, she could not wait to rush to her father, pick up his collar and ask: 'How long do you want to harm us! '
All in all, Tamaki Iijima's relationship with his father was poor.
If she could, she wouldn't even want to go back to that home.
In this way, the two people and a monster walked through a forest, and finally stopped in a courtyard covered with white stones.
This is the old house of the Iijima family. The house is large and has its own courtyard, but there is no fence to block it.
The cherry blossom trees outside the courtyard are in beautiful bloom.
"Is this my mother's hometown?"
Pink and white petals fell from the sky. Gu Yun rolled down the window and caught a cherry blossom with his palm.
"Um."
Iijima Tamaki responded softly. Her eyes fell on the Iijima old house in front of her, with nostalgia and sentimentality in her eyes.
"Let's go."
Holding Gu Yun's hand, Iijima Tamaki led him over.
In the corridor of the courtyard, an old man wearing a gray haori was smiling as he watched Gu Yun and Iijima Huan come in.
The old man's name is Rei Iijima, and he is a ghost novelist whose pen name is Iijima Snail.
He is about seventy years old, with gray hair and a slightly fat face.
"ring."
Iijima Snail called his daughter, and then focused on Gu Yun.
"Xiao Guyun, do you still remember grandpa?"
Iijima Snail smiled softly. He was a very kind old man with a kind face and a kind purpose.
Moreover, the old man was very kind to Tamaki Iijima, and there was no sense of alienation at all as Gu Yun's mother said.
When Gu Yun was very young, he once saw the Iijima snail.
"grandfather."
"Ah, Xiao Guyun, long time no see. Do you want some candy?"
Iijima Snail took out the candy and handed it to Gu Yun kindly.
It was also at this time that he saw Xiaobai in Gu Yun's arms.
"This little guy," Iijima Snail said, "is the shikigami of Kotani Yun that Tamaki mentioned on the phone?"
"Father."
Iijima held his forehead and said distressedly: "Not only can Gu Yun see monsters, but now he has adopted monsters of unknown origin as shikigami."
It’s no wonder Iijima Tamaki is anxious, because her youngest brother Iijima Kai’s whereabouts are still unknown.
Iijima Kai, like Gu Yun, has extremely strong spiritual power and has the power to conquer shikigami.
Among all the children of Iijima Snail, he is the most similar to the old man.
But because of his powerful spiritual power, Iijima Kai disappeared.
The relationship between Tamaki Iijima and his father deteriorated, largely due to his younger brother's affairs.
She always felt that it was the spiritual curse of the Iijima family that harmed her younger brother.
"Have you made it this far?"
Iijima Snail touched Gu Yun's head: "It's really amazing, Xiao Gu Yun."
"Aha?"
"Old man, please tell me clearly!"
Iijima Tamaki grabbed his father's lapel: "Do you know how I live these days? I'm always on tenterhooks, afraid that something will come out and steal this child away!"
"Ah la~~"
At this moment, Gu Yun saw an old woman coming out.
She covered her mouth and seemed to be snickering: "We haven't seen each other for so long, but the relationship between Huan and Lian is still so good."
"Mother."
"Long time no see, Tamaki."
This mother-in-law is called Iijima Yaeko, she is Iijima Tamaki’s mother and Gu Yun’s grandmother.
"Xiao Guyun, did you have a good meal?"
The people in the Iijima family are very gentle, and they treat their family members with great care.
"grandmother."
"Uh-huh."
Yaezi nodded, then bent down and asked, "Whatever you like to eat, grandma will cook it for you."
"Meat."
"Gu Yun!"
Iijima Tamaki was a little dissatisfied that Gu Yun was so close to this family.
She just wanted her father to solve Gu Yun's problem, and then take her child and run away far away.
However, the Iijima family obviously will not let Iijima Tamaki get his wish.
Gu Yun is the eldest grandson of the third generation of the Iijima family, and his surname is Iijima. Since several uncles have no intention of taking over the old man's ancestral business, Gu Yun can be said to be the only successor of the Iijima family.
However, Tamaki Iijima has his own company.
Having taken advantage of the economic crisis to enter the upper class, she has a prosperous career and a promising future, and she doesn't care about the meager wealth of the Iijima family.
"Old man, what are you going to do?"
Seeing Gu Yun disappear at the entrance of the entrance, Iijima Tamaki looked at his father complainingly: "Do you want Gu Yun to become the second one?"
"ring."
Iijima Snail shook his head and said, "That kid is much better than Kai."
"What?"
Seeing Iijima Tamaki's confusion, Iijima Snail said solemnly: "The first time I saw that child, I felt his spiritual power."
"Gu Yun's situation is very special."
"Generally speaking, the awakening of spiritual power begins at a young age," Iijima Snail said, "but Gu Yun awakened the ability to see ghosts at the age of 8."
Although he woke up so late, according to Iijima Snail's perception, Gu Yun's spiritual power was extremely huge.
"At such a young age, he already possesses such huge spiritual power."
Without waiting for his daughter to nod, the old man said: "He is destined to embark on that path."
"Staying away does not mean safety."
"Only with strong strength," Iijima Snail said firmly, "Gu Yun can protect himself."
After saying these words, Iijima Tamaki was stunned.
She really didn't expect that her father would give Gu Yun such high praise.
"Leave him to me."
Iijima Snail's expression was extremely serious: "At least before I die, I will never let any monster harm my lovely grandson!"
