Chapter Thirteen Zashiki Warji
The visit to Xiaoniao Youjia was just a small episode in Gu Yun's practice of magic at his old house in Iijima.
This is not a special situation. Customers often come to my door and ask Grandpa for help.
"New shikigami?"
Grandpa couldn't understand what Gu Yun meant by the new shikigami.
Gu Yun briefly explained that he seemed to be able to wake up some sleeping demons and let them fight for him.
As for the reason, Gu Yun himself doesn’t know.
The Shikigami Scroll is Gu Yun’s secret, even to his grandfather, he didn’t tell it.
Fortunately, Gu Yun's talent is beyond grandpa's imagination.
Grandpa was a little confused about the magical phenomenon that happened to him, but he quickly accepted his powerful ability to summon shikigami.
After all, the previous three-tailed fox and Xiaobai were also summoned by Gu Yun using his method.
"Does grandpa know Zashiki Warashi?"
"The house elf."
Of course grandpa knows about Zashiki Warashi.
In terms of combat prowess, Zashiki Warashi can only be regarded as a little monster, not a monster.
But she is not so much a ghost or monster, but more like a goblin in the West, a creature similar to a leprechaun.
"What Kotani Yun wants to summon is an elf like Zashiki Warashi?!"
Grandpa showed an incredible expression, and Gu Yun was a little puzzled: "What's wrong? Zashiki Warashi, is it just a little monster?"
"No, no, no, Xiao Guyun, you don't understand."
Zashiki Warashi, that’s Zashiki Warashi.
Just like the little leprechaun in Western mythology, Zashiki Warashi is also a guardian spirit like a small god of good fortune in Japan.
All in all, Zashiki Warashi is not strong in combat, but it is extremely rare.
In addition, it is not the soul of a child that can be called a zashiki-dashi.
Only those little gods of good fortune who can bring peace to the home and make the family prosperous are the real Zashiki Warashi.
"Grandpa, can you take a look at Zashiki Warashi?"
Grandpa had never seen Zashiki Warashi before and was very interested in him.
The Iijima family was not wealthy before, so my grandfather once had the idea of looking for a zashiki boy to improve the family situation.
However, although Zashiki warashi cannot fight, they are very good at hiding.
In this world, if mages want to capture Zashiki Warashi, they have to spend a lot of time and energy, and they can only try their luck.
Like Gu Yun, Zashiki Warashi was able to answer his call.
Unbelievable, unbelievable!
"Grandpa, do you need anyone when summoning?"
Gu Yun opened the Shikigami scroll and looked at the pattern of Zashiki Warashi on it.
【Zashiki Warashi】
Summoning method: When there is no one around, say to the room, ‘Let’s play together, Zashiki Warashi’.
Because no one is needed, Grandpa can't watch from the sidelines.
"Oh, then Xiao Guyun, you have to be more careful."
Grandpa didn't force it, there just happened to be a performance tonight, and grandma and the others liked those shows very much.
He originally didn't plan to go.
However, Gu Yun needed an empty house, so Grandpa followed Grandma and the others.
"Ah, it's really rare."
Grandma joked: "Lian will actually go to the show with us."
After saying that, grandma happily held grandpa's hand, and the family left Iijima's old house chatting and laughing.
After nearly a month of practice, Gu Yun's strength has improved by leaps and bounds.
Even without the help of shikigami, Gu Yun can rely on his own powerful spiritual power to repel ordinary lower-level demons with spells.
If you include the three-tailed fox and Xiaobai, it would be difficult for even the superior demons to get close to him.
Despite Gu Yun's young age, if he were really put outside, relying on the two shikigami, he would be able to take on the difficult work of removing spirits on his own.
"But if I really do that, my mother will definitely kill me, right?"
In recent years, under Gu Yun's guidance, Iijima Tamaki not only owned a very large publishing house, but also made large investments in foreign countries and held shares in many international companies.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if Tamaki Iijima only maintains his current assets, Gu Yun will still be a second-generation rich man.
However this is impossible.
The Iijima family's business will only grow bigger and bigger.
My mother wanted nothing more than to enter the upper class and become a real Chinese celebrity.
In her eyes, her son is a genius.
He should stand at the top of mankind and control the lives of countless people, instead of risking his life to deal with monsters and monsters.
"Master, will you become a spiritual master in the future?"
"It's unlikely."
Gu Yun scratched his face and smiled bitterly at Xiaobai: "I feel like I will become the president of a big company in the future."
"President?"
Xiaobai showed an unclear expression: "Although I don't know what it is, it seems to be very powerful!"
"Hahaha."
Gu Yun smiled and said, "Okay, let's summon Zashiki Warashi."
"Uh-huh!"
When he heard that the number of companions was about to increase again, Xiaobai jumped up and down happily.
"Zashiki Warashi is a cute child."
The three-tailed fox doesn't know Zashiki Warashi, he just knows that there is such a monster and knows the other party's information.
The shikigami summoned by Gu Yun actually have nothing to do with each other.
They only know that they are Gu Yun's shikigami, and they must protect Gu Yun wholeheartedly and obey his orders.
"Okay, you guys go out first."
The call of Zashiki Warashi needs to be in an empty room.
Gu Yun didn't know that the three-tailed fox and Xiaobai were considered 'human beings', so let's let them go out first.
"So…"
Gu Yun slowly closed the door and stood in the dark room.
Surrounded by wooden sliding doors, there are tatami mats at the feet.
The room is not big, only about 20 square meters.
As for the atmosphere…
Not to mention, it really feels like a Japanese supernatural movie.
"Let's play together."
Gu Yun took a deep breath, and then called out in a gentle tone: "Zashiki Warashi."
"Ding bell~~"
As Gu Yun's words fell.
The crisp sound of bells rang in the quiet room.
Like raindrops falling on the water, causing ripples, the sweet ringing sound slowly echoed in Gu Yun's ears.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Gu Yun noticed a figure standing in the corner of the room.
"Zashiki Warashi?"
"Hello, master."
Clusters of faint blue will-o'-wisps lit up in the room, reflecting the appearance of Zashiki Warashi.
She is small and looks to be only seven or eight years old. She is wearing a red kimono and has a small white horn on her forehead, which makes her look particularly petite and cute.
'This is the Fire Girl in the game.'
Zashiki warashi are female monsters with a gentle temperament.
Although he occasionally likes to play pranks, he is essentially a good child who can bring happiness and prosperity to the family.
"Master, master?"
Feeling the movement in the house, Xiaobai's voice came from outside the door.
"You can come in."
Opening the door, Gu Yun walked out.
Behind him was Zashiki Warashi, and the little girl followed suit.
When he saw the three-tailed fox and Xiaobai, Zashiki Warashi greeted them politely: "Hello, I am Zashiki Warashi. Please, please give me some advice."
"My lovely little girl, I am a three-tailed fox."
The three-tailed fox was very casual, and Xiaobai looked at Zashiki Warashi happily: "I am Shiro Zangzhu."
【Zashiki Warashi】
Level: Lower level demon
Talent: Soul Fire, Prosperity, Good Luck and Misfortune
Zashiki Warashi has three talents.
Among them, Soul Fire is her combat skill, which can create will-o'-the-wisp fire to attack enemies.
Gu Yun tested it and found that it was not very powerful.
【Good Luck and Prosperity】
Effect: It can identify a family and bless it with prosperity, abundant financial resources, safe home and good health.
This ability, to be honest, is quite powerful.
In today's modern world, Zashiki Warashi's "good fortune" is simply an ability that countless people dream of.
Gu Yun also immediately thought of his mother's company.
"Can Zashiki Warashi bless the Iijima family?"
Although Zashiki Warashi is Tananyun's shikigami, the shikigami is nothing more than a slave to his master.
Zashiki Warashi will never be able to disobey Gu Yun's order.
But Gu Yun doesn't want to treat them as servants.
He respects every shikigami and wants to be good friends and family with them.
"Okay, Master Gu Yun."
Zashiki Warashi is a spirit that can protect the house. She can feel the breath and fortune of each house.
"But I can only bless one family."
Zashiki Warashi pointed to the old house of Iijima: "The owner of this house is an old man."
Through good luck, Zashiki Warashi saw Rei Iijima's luck.
"Can you see this too? How about grandpa's luck?"
Gu Yun cannot see luck, this is the talent of Zashiki Warashi.
If he wants to see it, he needs to let Zashiki Warashi possess him, thus unlocking the talent of luck.
"Grandpa's luck is very ordinary."
Zashiki Warashi said: "My good fortune can be magnified based on the original good fortune."
"But if you don't have much luck, you won't be able to become rich even with my help."
According to Zashiki Warashi, the Iijima snail's luck was consumed once in its early years.
"That forbidden technique?"
Gu Yun remembered that his grandfather told him that he had used forbidden magic when he was young and lost 10 years of his life.
"If that's the case, there's nothing we can do about it."
Grandpa is very kind to Gu Yun, and the relatives in Iijima's hometown are also very gentle and kind.
If possible, Gu Yun also wants to help them and improve their living standards.
It is a pity that before my grandfather passed away, the family who owned the old house in Iijima could not get the protection of Zashiki Warashi.
"My other ability is called the dependence of blessings and misfortunes."
The effect of the interdependence of blessings and misfortunes is that a person's luck can be increased out of thin air, but the price is that he will encounter equivalent disasters in the future.
This kind of curse-like method cannot be solved even by a mage.
Unless that person can find God and let Him give him protection.
"It's better not to use this kind of luck."
Tani Yun didn't want the Iijima family to suffer, but Zashiki Warashi shook his little head: "No, Lord Tani Yun."
"It's a curse placed on others."
If you are one of your own, Zashiki Warashi can compress and reduce the bad luck, thus achieving the effect of making sure profit without loss.
For example, she can bring good luck to people and make them successful in gambling.
Suppose this person wins 1 million yen, then according to the effect of blessing and misfortune.
When the good luck ends, he needs to pay the equivalent of 1 million yen in bad luck.
Only in this way can blessings and misfortunes depend on each other.
"Can you weaken Doom?"
"Um."
Zashiki Warashi, who looked like a little girl, nodded with a smile: "Depending on the type of thing, the proportion of reducing bad luck will be different."
Generally speaking, for things like gambling, which have nothing to do with personal ability, even Zashiki Warashi can only reduce it to 80%.
That is, the price of 1 million becomes 800,000.
In contrast, if it is test scores, work efficiency, business development, etc., these are themselves linked to a person's ability.
"The stronger your ability, the less bad luck you will have to pay in the future."
Zashiki Warashi told Gu Yun that if he studied hard and worked hard.
Then the effect exerted by the interdependence of blessings and misfortunes is equivalent to twice the fortune and prosperity.
As for the so-called price, the hard work, sweat you put in, and the psychological pressure you endured are themselves offset by the price.
