Iijima Snail and Yaeko have four sons and three daughters.
In addition to the youngest son who died young, there are three sons and three daughters.
The Iijima Kai that Iijima Tamaki refers to is the third son and the child who inherits the most spiritual power from his father.
However, he had been missing for many years and his family thought he was dead.
In addition, Snail's eldest son and second son did not live with their father. They went out to work hard and finally chose to live in Tokyo.
Of the remaining three daughters, the eldest was named Hijima Iijima, and her surname was changed to Hirose after she got married.
It is very normal for Japanese women to take their husband's surname when they get married.
As the second daughter, Tamaki Iijima was determined not to marry, but unexpectedly gave birth to Gu Yun, the oldest boy of the third generation.
As for the youngest sister Iijima Juan, she did not get married, but got a son-in-law under the arrangement of her father.
"Hello, uncle."
"Guyun-chan, long time no see."
Takahiro Iijima, the son-in-law of the Iijima family.
His surname is Mikami. He has a kind personality and abides by his duties. He is very popular with Iijima Snail.
"Brother Gu Yun."
The girl who walked out of the house was called Iijima Tsukasa. She was the daughter of Snail's eldest son and Gu Yun's cousin.
Tsukasa is 6 years old this year and was fostered in the Iijima family because of spiritual problems.
However, her spiritual power is relatively weak, similar to that of Gu Yun's mother.
"Xiao Si, long time no see."
The Iijima brothers and sisters have a very close relationship and move around a lot on weekdays.
This also makes Gu Yun very familiar with the third generation children of the Iijima family.
"Um?"
It was also at this time that Gu Yun saw a small figure hiding behind Iijima Snail.
The child was young, only about 4 to 5 years old.
"Ah, this is the first time Xiao Guyun has met Lu."
"Ritsu, this is you Guyun Oni-chan."
Yaezi gently introduced the little girl in front of Gu Yun.
I saw her wearing a pink kimono and combing her hair like a Japanese doll.
"Lil, sister?"
"Ha ha ha ha."
As soon as Gu Yun finished speaking, everyone laughed.
"Gu Yunjiang, I'm not a sister, I'm a younger brother."
"Why?"
Gu Yun was stunned for a moment, secretly wondering what was going on.
younger brother.
Wear women's clothing?
If you are a master of cross-dressing at such a young age, you will be able to do it when you grow up.
But soon, Gu Yun figured out the cause and effect.
It turns out that Ritsu Iijima, like Gu Yun, also inherited his grandfather's spiritual power and has the power to see monsters and ghosts.
Therefore, in order to protect his grandson from being harassed by demons, Iijima Snail asked him to wear women's clothes since he was a child to avoid the prying eyes of demons.
"Is this okay too?"
Gu Yun was shocked. He didn't expect such a saucy operation at all.
At the same time, Ritsu Iijima glanced at Xiaobai next to Gu Yun.
However, the child showed no interest at all. Instead, he was afraid and sat far away from Xiao Bai.
Everyone at the dinner table didn't care about this.
Among the people present, only Iijima Tamaki, Gu Yun, Snail and Ritsu could see the monster, and the others did not notice Xiaobai's existence.
Of course, it's possible that you saw it but pretended not to.
For example, Gu Yun's aunt Iijima Juan, she also has the ability to see ghosts, but she is much more indifferent than Iijima Tamaki, and has long been accustomed to ignoring monsters.
"Come over here, Gu Yun-chan."
After a sumptuous dinner, Iijima Snail called Gu Yun to the study under the worried eyes of Iijima Huan.
Snail's study is not small, but it is full of things.
All kinds of ancient books are piled on the ground, and there is no place for the messy face to rest.
There are also cabinets filled with various items.
"grandfather."
Iijima Snail smiled gently: "You have great talents."
"I am powerful?"
Although Gu Yun was born in two lifetimes, his past and present lives combined were only over twenty years old.
What's more, this is the first time he has spiritual power.
Therefore, Gu Yun knew very little about this world, and he had to rely entirely on the guidance of the old man to understand his own situation and obtain information about this world.
"It's awesome."
"Grandpa, are you an Onmyoji?"
Faced with Gu Yun's question, Snail shook his head and said, "Ah, no, no, I'm not an Onmyoji. Well, I should be considered a warlock."
"Warlock? Is it any different from Onmyoji?"
Seeing that Gu Yun seemed to be very interested in Onmyoji, Snail explained: "Onmyoji is a profession, but not every Onmyoji knows spells and can control shikigami."
"how to say…"
The old man showed a kind smile, thought for a moment, and then began to explain to Gu Yun.
According to the snail's description, there are four types of people in this world who can intersect with the spiritual world.
The first type is people like snails, who have spiritual power and stand higher than demons.
They can solve all kinds of supernatural incidents, and they are also quite strong in attitude.
"The second category is the priests in shrines and temples."
"Most of them do not have the ability to see ghosts," said the snail, "but with the blessing of gods, they can protect themselves from demons."
The position of such people is equivalent to that of monsters.
Even if I can't control you, you can't hurt me.
"The shrine is just a turtle shell, so it won't be harmed by demons?"
"Hahaha."
Snail smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, this is the position of the shrine."
Then there is the third category, who stand slightly lower than the demons.
These people are collectively called paranormalists, onmyojis, exorcists, etc.
"General exorcists and psychics don't know magic themselves, so they can only use barriers and props to exorcise demons."
"If the demons were stronger, their lives would be in danger."
The snail in his youth belongs to this type of person.
However, as the strength increases, the snail can solve almost most problems.
"Finally, there's Tamaki, and there's people like Xiaoji."
"They can see monsters and monsters for various reasons," Snail said, "but they do not have the power to influence monsters and can only hide in fear."
Speaking of this, Snail's eyes were apologetic.
That was the helplessness for Gu Yun's mother and his children.
The Iijima family's bloodline contains extraordinary spiritual power. Even in the entire supernatural world, the Iijima family is an amazing family.
But this power is incomplete and relies too much on blood.
Only children who inherit strong power can become a strong person like Iijima Snail.
"what about me?"
Gu Yun asked: "Who do I belong to?"
"Of course it's the first one."
Gu Yun has conquered the Shikigami, and the spiritual power contained in him is enough to learn various spells.
If he enters the circle of exorcists, he will definitely become one of the best.
"Grandpa, do monsters have levels?"
"So there is."
Iijima Snail said: "The classification of monsters can generally be divided into four categories."
"The weakest monsters are miscellaneous ghosts," said the snail. "Miscellaneous ghosts are everywhere. They will not harm humans, and humans cannot see them."
Miscellaneous ghosts are the most numerous among monsters.
But because there is no danger, even if the snail finds it, it will not pay attention to it.
"Like those ghosts I saw?"
"Ghosts are not monsters."
In Japan, ghosts refer to horned, man-eating monsters, while ghosts are what Easterners call ghosts.
However, according to Snail, the underworld is very close to Japan, so the ghosts here are protected by the rules of the underworld.
"Protect?"
"Ghosts can't be killed."
Even if it is a snail, it can only be pulled out by using the rules of Huangquan.
Of course, what Easterners call ghosts are different from ghosts. In Japan, they are defined as evil spirits.
Evil spirits are also a type of monster.
"Once ghosts hurt people and absorb negative emotions, they turn into scary monsters."
At this time, the snail, as a warlock, can defeat it.
“To uproot is to dispel, to drive away.”
"Retreat means to eliminate, to make it disappear."
As long as ghosts do not violate the laws of Huangquan, they are protected by the world of the dead and cannot be killed.
Of course, humans are not helpless against ghosts.
In fact, the ghost cannot even enter the home without the owner's invitation and permission.
"As long as you set up a small barrier, you can block them."
"If you cast a spell, you can even seal it."
It cannot be killed, but it can be imprisoned and locked up.
But most people with magic would not do such a thing.
"There are rules in the underworld. The sins committed by ghosts during their lifetime will be repaid after their death."
Evil people will go to hell, and good people can go to the afterlife.
Therefore, to deal with ghosts, there is no need to seal them and force them to the underworld to be judged by the ghosts and gods there.
As for the evil ghosts, after they are exterminated, their souls will still remain.
But the soul here has lost its memory and personality, leaving only a confused self.
And even if such a soul is reincarnated, there is a high probability that in the next life he will be mentally retarded, disabled, or be riddled with bad luck and have a miserable life experience.
"If you violate the rules of Huangquan and do not want to go to the afterlife, you will have to bear the corresponding price."
Although Grandpa sympathizes with the souls that have turned into evil ghosts, he does not simply fight them off: "If I can enlighten them and turn them back into good ghosts, I will definitely try my best to do so."
But many times, ghosts will turn into evil spirits, often after experiencing great pain and carrying huge resentment.
It is really difficult to turn back such an existence.
