Everyone returned to Iijima Residence. Mother was a little tired after a hard day's work, so she took Gu Yun to rest.

Tamaki Iijima hasn't slept with Gu Yun for many days.

Nowadays, the Guyun element is extremely scarce, and it is time to replenish it.

"Yes, I'm really sorry..."

"Young master can't come to class tomorrow."

"It's great of you to be considerate."

Hayasaka Nao helped Gu Yun apply for leave from school.

Gu Yun has to go to his grandfather's place. In order to have more time, he can't help but take a day off.

Of course, what the school said was that Gu Yun was going to participate in a piano competition.

"Well…"

Early the next morning, Gu Yun woke up from his deep sleep and found that there was nothing around him.

Well, he's used to it.

My mother has been like this since he was a child, quietly going out and letting him continue to sleep.

After checking the time, it was almost 9 o'clock. Hayasaka Nao and Iijima Tamaki both went to work. Breakfast was prepared by the three-tailed fox.

"Haa~~~"

Yawning, Gu Yun came to the restaurant after washing up.

"Master, breakfast is ready."

"Oh, thank you."

After eating the breakfast carefully prepared by the three-tailed fox, Gu Yun said to the golden fox who was watching TV in the living room: "Xiao Kong, can you use your divine chariot?"

"Boom!"

With the sound of wheels rolling, an ancient chariot with four wheels burning with flames and clouds riding below appeared in the courtyard.

"I'm going to find grandpa, Xiao Kong, will you come with me?"

"TV shows I want to watch..."

"Then Xiao Kong, you stay."

So, leaving Kong Huan to look after the house, Gu Yun took Xiaobai, Hongye, Prajna, Three-tailed Fox and Yingcao, riding the Inari God's chariot, to the old house of Iijima in the countryside.

"Boom~Boom~~"

The chariot of the gods can not only travel through the air, but can also travel through illusory space, so the speed is really not ordinary.

"Um?"

At this moment, in the courtyard of Iijima's old house, under a huge cherry tree, two old people were sitting there drinking tea.

One of them is Gu Yun's grandfather Iijima Snail, and the other one is wearing the clothes of an old Western man from the Taisho era of Japan, with a cane and a black gentleman's hat on his head.

"This is…"

Feeling the breath in the sky, the white-bearded old man stood up curiously: "Which noble god is coming?"

"It's Inari God-sama."

Grandpa recognized the illusory chariot, and the old man's eyes widened curiously: "Could it be the Tenhu-sama of the Mitsui family? She is currently serving the Iijima family?"

It stands to reason that using 'service' to describe the relationship between gods and humans is somewhat disrespectful.

But the Iijima family's situation is very special.

In their hands, they possess the art of controlling gods that can create gods and enhance the power of gods.

To a certain extent, the people of the Iijima family can indeed occupy the dominant and lordship position in their interactions with gods.

"No, not the Iijima family."

Grandpa corrected him: "To be precise, he is serving my grandson."

"..."

The old man is not a human being, he is also a god.

He is the spirit of the cherry blossoms. He is above the ignorant good gods, but not as good as the flower essence of the true gods.

Racially speaking, they are similar to the Yingcao around Gu Yun.

"Grandpa~~~"

Gu Yun stood in the carriage of the chariot, lifted the curtain at the rear, and shouted and waved downwards.

Because it is located in the sacred chariot, except for beings with spiritual power such as snails and the old man, ordinary people can neither see Gu Yun nor hear his shouts.

"It's Guyun Onii-chan's voice."

On the other hand, Lu, who was playing with Xiao Si in the house, heard Gu Yun's shout and ran quickly to the courtyard.

"Lü, where are you going?"

"I heard Gu Yun Onii-chan's voice!"

"Xiao Guyun is here?"

Iijima Juan immediately put down the dishes she was washing, dried her hands, and walked to the entrance.

But Gu Yun didn't come from there.

Iijima's old house is divided into a front yard and a backyard. The front yard is a gate and connects to the entrance hall, while the backyard is open and has a pool, a pebble garden, and a huge cherry blossom tree.

"Hey, long time no see, Lu."

Gu Yun jumped off the divine chariot and turned it into a cloud of fire and dissipated it with a wave of his hand.

Lu looked at this scene with great curiosity.

"Haha, my brother has something to do with grandpa today. I will take you to play in the sky next time."

"By the way, this is a gift," Gu Yun said, "Some of it is for Xiao Si. Please pass it on to me."

"Thank you, Onii-chan!"

Gu Yun touched the head of a little crossdresser, then walked up to the snail and the old man: "Grandpa, this is..."

In Gu Yun's spiritual vision, the old man is not a human being, but a good god.

But the good god should be very small.

Are there actually adult and old benevolent gods?

[Obtain clues to the new shikigami ‘Sakura Demon’]

【Sakura Demon】

Awakening Mission: Contact a Sakura Flower Essence (Completed)

Summoning method: Find a cherry blossom tree and give it the godhead of a cherry blossom.

'This clue to the shikigami came so suddenly.'

Gu Yun didn't expect to come to his grandfather's place, and a new shikigami came out. What a surprise.

Sakura Demon, another new SR is about to be purchased.

"Let me introduce you to Xiao Guyun."

Grandpa said: "This is Grandpa's old friend. You can call him Mr. Nanfeng."

"Hello, Mr. Nanfeng, I am Iijima Taniun."

"Ah, what a distinguished young master."

"It's really a blessing for me to be able to talk to you."

Fascinated by the majesty of Gu Yun's body, the old man took off his top hat and elegantly introduced himself: "I am the elf of the cherry blossom tree. At this time of year, I ride the south wind and travel around."

Old Nanfeng and Grandpa have been friends for many years and have received a lot of help from Snail in the past.

"The words of the spirit of the cherry blossom tree..."

Gu Yun asked curiously: "Are all the cherry blossoms in Japan under your control?"

"No no no."

Old Nanfeng waved his hand quickly and said: "I can't control the cherry blossoms, I can only make them bloom, and not all cherry blossoms."

There is more than one elf in the cherry blossoms, and Old Nanfeng just happens to be in charge of this one.

Moreover, he is already very old and has always wanted to find an opportunity to retire.

"Do gods even retire?"

"When humans are tired, they go to the underworld; when gods are tired, they pass through the afterlife."

Huangquan is also called the other world, and the afterlife is a very magical place.

In the description of Old Man Nanfeng, the afterlife is built on an endless ocean, which is connected by railways.

The gods will call them huge dragon boats, shuttle on the sacred water, and enjoy and relax in the streets and shops created by fantasy beings.

"The souls in the land of hell will be reincarnated and reborn, and they will also go to the 'afterlife'."

The present world is the material world, which is the first level.

Huangquan is the other world, the second level.

The afterlife is the return from the underworld to the present world, so it is level 1.5.

In this process, the underworld spirit will throw away the filth, and the place of discarding is the world of the weird stories - the virtual world on the 2.5th floor.

The third level is the quagmire of the evil gods, and the fourth level is the sky of the good gods.

The fifth level is the divine realm where the gods live.

This is the tip of the iceberg of this diverse world that Grandpa, Miyoko and Gu Yun once described.

"So, there are many gods in the afterlife?"

"Um…"

The old man Nanfeng said: "Real gods cannot go to the afterlife, because the afterlife is the lower world."

Again, there are no things in the upper world that exist in the lower world, and there are no spirits in the upper world in the lower world.

Therefore, gods without physical and spiritual bodies cannot go to the afterlife.

If they want to go through, they need to make a body for themselves, with different materials and strange images, including animals and monsters.

"After the human soul reaches the afterlife, it will embark on a final journey."

They will ride on the tram, sail on the rails, and recall their two lives before and after death.

"During this process, the soul loses all color and turns into a black shadow."

These shadows will get off the bus at different places and start their next life.

"sound…"

Gu Yun had a vague sense of déjà vu, and he thought to himself: "Why does it look so like the hidden land in "Spirited Away"?"

Yubaba's hot spring house, the food street around the hot house, and the gods coming from the sea on ships.

"Master Iijima, if you are interested, you can go and see the afterlife."

Old Nanfeng smiled and said, "But remember to prepare paper and masks."

"ah?"

Gu Yun asked doubtfully: "What?"

"It is used to cover your face and block the breath of things in this world."

In Japan, the pronunciation of paper is similar to that of god, and it can mislead demons.

Needless to say, masks are things that hide one’s identity.

The afterlife is between matter and soul, so ordinary people have a certain chance of breaking into it.

But when living people enter the afterlife, they will be eroded by the laws of the afterlife and will disappear soon.

If you want to survive, you must eat food from the next life.

But in this way, just like Izanami in Japanese mythology and Persephone in Greek mythology, after eating food from the afterlife, they cannot return to the earthly world.

However, this has no effect on Gu Yun.

Because his spiritual quality is very high, his existence can be recognized by the next life.

As for the idea of ​​covering one's face with paper, it's actually more like giving face to the next life. Even if you can do whatever you want, you still have to pretend.

"If I have the chance, I would like to see that mysterious world."

Gu Yun did not forget the purpose of coming to see his grandfather this time. They chatted with the old man Nanfeng for a while. The latter knew that the grandfather and grandson had something to do, so he chose to resign.

"Have a nice trip, Mr. Nanfeng."

“I’ll come next year too~~”

After bidding farewell to the elf of the cherry blossom tree, Grandpa sat down with Gu Yun. He said, "I already knew the matter on the phone."

"This matter is a bit troublesome." x2

Almost at the same time as grandpa spoke, Gu Yun also said the same thing.

Obviously, this sentence has become grandpa's mantra.

Every time Gu Yun came to see him, the old man said this.

“…..”

Grandpa glanced at Gu Yun helplessly, smiled and patted his head gently: "You bastard."

But he doesn't hate it.

Snail really enjoys this kind of playing time with her grandson.

"I told her about Nadeshiko's problem back then."

"Can't have any more children?"

If that's the case, Gu Yun frowned: "That's really troublesome."

This is like going to the doctor. The doctor has told you that you must not do this thing, and if you still do it, then you are seeking your own death. You can't blame others.

In the same way, Nadeshiko forced herself to give birth to a second child even though she knew about her own body. This...

"No, Gu Yun, you misunderstood."

Grandpa shook his head and said: "Nadeko did not ignore my warning, she followed it well."

Gu Yun knew about the existence of Sakura Kinomoto because of the anime in her previous life.

But for Nadeshiko, she didn't have any need to have a daughter. She was actually satisfied with Toya as her son.

"Then, is it Mr. Fujitaka's problem?"

Kinomoto Fujitaka, Nadeshiko’s husband, Momoya and Sakura’s father, and the reincarnation of Crowrido.

The wife didn't want it, but the husband couldn't help it, so he died.

"Neither nor."

Grandpa knew that Gu Yun was thinking wrongly, so he interrupted again: "Both Fujitaka and Nadeshiko have followed the rules well. They haven't done this once in the past three years, cough cough."

The old man felt that it was not easy to explain this kind of thing to Gu Yun. He was a little embarrassed and said: "That's right, no..."

"Grandpa, I know how children are born."

"Oh, that, that's good."

Grandpa nodded, secretly thinking that this child is too mature.

"Since Mr. Nadeshiko and Mr. Fujitaka are paying attention, where did Sakura appear from?"

Gu Yun was confused, this is unscientific!

If Nadeshiko and Fujitaka didn't have sex, then who is Sakura's father? Could it be that Nadeshiko cheated on her?

"It's not what you said, Gu Yun."

Grandpa said helplessly: "Actually, Nadeshiko's daughter is not an ordinary person. Like you, Gu Yun, she was born in a womb."

"???"

Gu Yun's face was full of questions: "What is the birth of a fetus? Aren't you talking about Xiaoying? Why did it involve me?"

"Didn't I tell you?"

"Not at all! Old man!"

Gu Yun said: "What does it mean to be born from a womb?"

"Um…"

Grandpa thought for a while, as if he didn't know where to start.

"Is there any taboo that you can't tell me?"

"No, I was just too sudden and I don't know where to start."

Grandpa thought carefully for a moment, and then said: "The so-called fetal fruit generally refers to the eggs and fruits brought by the time and space storm called eclipse from the west of the sea and the east of the mountain, and then conceived after being thrown into the mother's body.

The life that comes out of it.”

"Forehead…"

Gu Yun looked depressed. To be honest, he didn't understand what his grandfather was saying at all.
