Chapter 65 The pressure is on your side
"That Higa?!"
Except for Emiko, an outsider, and Gu Yun, who didn't understand it at all, everyone present looked solemn.
But who are they.
Those are the legendary figures who were expelled from the spirit world and respected as the Four Heavenly Kings of Yehuzen!
"that…"
Gu Yun raised his hand: "What is this Higa Dougong clan? Can you explain it to me? I have never heard of it."
"Oh, sorry."
"I forgot that Xiao Guyun is here."
"Then what, who can explain it to Xiao Guyun?"
They almost forgot about the little protagonist of this party. They saw Natsume Reiko putting her hand on the red triangle scarf on her chest: "Let me, Sister Reiko, explain it to you."
"Eh~~"
"Obviously she's an old woman, sister or something, ugh!!!"
Before Tsuba Kishiro finished speaking, his expression suddenly turned into a mask of pain.
Under the square table, Natsume Reiko gave Kishiro a hard kick on the calf. The latter's face was twisted in pain and he couldn't help but gasp.
"Hiss~~"
Seeing this, Kotaki Gosiro immediately swallowed the complaints that had reached his lips and remained obediently silent.
"Ling Zi..."
"Sister Reiko."
"Hehe, hehe."
Gu Yun felt the murderous intent coming from Reiko. Forced by the temptation of a certain older sister who was pretending to be young, Gu Yun could only bow to the evil forces: "Then please explain to me, Sister Reiko."
"Yeah, no problem!"
Reiko said with a smile on her face: "The Douban clan, an ancient family that is like a myth in the world of spirit slayers, has a history that is almost equal to Japan's spirit slayers."
"They have changed their names many times over the past thousands of years, and Higa is the surname used by the current Douban clan in the world."
"Is it equivalent to the history of Japan's exorcist world?"
Gu Yun was surprised: "They are Onmyoji?"
Although Onmyoji is weak in this era, Onmyoji was indeed very powerful in ancient Japan.
"No, it's much more than that!"
Reiko asked: "Guyun, do you know what the earliest Japanese legend of exorcism is?"
"Um…"
Exorcism, in other words, is the act of exorcising demons, removing spirits, exorcising spirits, or fighting monsters to protect the human world.
Obviously, the history Reiko mentioned includes mythology.
"It should be the story of Suzhan Mingzun (Susano'o) killing the Yamata no Orochi."
This is what Gu Yun can think of, the origin of Japan's use of force to conquer demons.
"Actually, there is something even older."
Reiko said: "Izanami, the mother of Japanese gods, died of burns after giving birth to the fire god Kagutsuchi."
"Father God Izanagi went to the underworld to bring his wife back, but found that she had turned into an ugly figure covered in maggots and had a choked throat."
Because of fear, Izanagi desperately fled towards the human world.
Izanami was filled with shame and anger, so she sent the ugly girl from the underworld and 1,500 underworld troops to chase her, hoping to capture her husband and take him to the afterlife.
"In the end, Izanagi used the Senki Stone to block the boundary between the underworld and the human world, Hirazaka, and was able to escape with his life."
After that, Izanagi washed away the filth in the river.
The god he transformed into when he washed his left eye was named Amaterasu Omikami.
The god that was transformed when I washed my right eye was named Tsukiyomi Ming...
The god who was transformed when he washed his nose was named Takesusa no Omei.
"I've heard of this myth," Gu Yun asked, "but what does this have to do with the Higa Douban clan?"
"The Thousand Yin Stone is also known as the Daofi Stone, which means 'the path stops here, and the demons will return quickly.'"
According to Natsume Reiko, it was not Izanagi who blocked the door between the underworld and the human world.
"Thousands of years ago, at a critical moment for the Japanese Father God, an extremely powerful practitioner stepped forward," Reiko said:
"He repelled the underworld army and ghosts sent by Izanami, protected Izanaki, and also protected the world."
"..."
Gu Yun commented: "This ancestor of the rebel clan is a bit fierce!"
"Legend has it that Izanagi gave him the position of guardian of the Reed Plains Country in gratitude to the 'Ancestor of the Way', with the power to expel eight million gods and make them return to their original land quickly."
The so-called Reed Plains Country is generally considered to be Japan today, and is also a mythical world.
In other words, the ancestors of the Douban clan are the guardians of the world appointed by Izanagi. They can be called the oldest and most powerful family of spiritual slayers.
"The Daofan clan has taken protecting the world as its own responsibility from generation to generation and has never participated in worldly struggles."
As long as the world is not destroyed, or gods and ghosts cross the border and cause trouble in the world, the Taoist clan will not appear.
"This is a rule from ancient times."
Grandpa said at this time: "The Dao rebel clan will never intervene in the struggle of the lower five realms at any time."
The lower five realms here generally refer to the turbulent world in which the evil gods live, as well as the material world, the underworld, the reincarnation and the afterlife, and the ghost world below.
"So what are they doing?"
Kotaki Goshiro said: "The Douban clan has never had anything to do with the spirit slayers."
In Japan, demons and ghosts are actually among the "eight million gods."
Therefore, the Higa clan's "power of rebellion" is equally effective against them.
But the Daofan clan is arrogant by nature, and they neither know how to destroy evil ghosts, nor how to defeat demons.
Even when faced with a curse, he always had an indifferent attitude.
The only targets of Higa's rebel clan are those fallen gods and evil gods that are not tolerated by the world.
"At the invitation of the ten famous sects, the Dao rebel clan came out."
"Well."
Speaking of this, Tsuba Kishiro paused and said, "But even if we say they are one clan, there are actually not that many people."
"You must have heard that the descendants of Daofei have a long life span, but due to their duties as guardians of the human world, their fertility is getting worse and worse, almost to the point where they are passed down by a single line."
Although the Daofan clan is powerful, their population is very sparse.
Only one person in each generation can inherit the blessing from Izanagi.
"Kotoko Higa."
Tsuba Kishiro said: "I heard that the name of the leader of this generation's rebel clan is a girl of twelve or thirteen years old."
"Then, what does this have to do with the cancellation of the Spiritual Master Convention?"
"Because she made a request to the ten sects."
Tsuba Kishiro said: "If you want the Doubi clan to come out, let all Japan's psychics, psychics, onmyojis, priests, witches, monks, exorcists, priests, and spiritual exorcists be the most prestigious families and powerful ones."
and leaders, go and greet us!”….
"I…"
This time, not only everyone, but also Gu Yun was confused: "What, what are you trying to do?"
How arrogant!
Who does she think she is?
"Would anyone agree to such a thing?"
Gu Yun has learned that there is no absolutely official organization like the Spirit Exorcist Association in Japan.
In other words, the spirit remover does not register his identity anywhere, he just does things according to his own preferences.
Let’s not talk about whether Higa Kotoko’s request can reach the ears of all spirit removers.
Even if she really does it, will the spiritual masters go to see her as she wishes?
Yes, meet you.
In Gu Yun's view, Higa Kotoko's behavior was like calling the heroes of the world to worship her as a queen.
"It seems that you also discovered it, Gu Yun."
Tsuba Kishiro crossed his hands and said, "The Higa family has lived in seclusion for many years and doesn't know much about removing spirit circles."
"Then she..."
"So Higa Kotoko made a decision
"," Tsuba Kishiro: "In the next few years, she will visit the ghost-killing families with potential and foundation one by one, and then come to challenge them."
Whether they are widely known, or they live in seclusion in the mountains, or they live like ordinary people.
As long as you have psychic abilities, she will find you and invite a fight.
"Forehead…"
Gu Yun seemed to understand: "If you lose, you have to mess with her?"
"That's not true."
According to Kishiro, Kotoko Higa seems to want to establish a real spirit-killing association. She wants to unify the spirit-killing circles in Japan and become the number one spirit-killing master in Japan.
If you lose, you just need to recognize her status and recognize the Soul Exorcist Association as an authoritative organization.
"Number one in Japan..."
Gu Yun has no interest in this title at all.
But if Kotoko Higa really comes to challenge, Gu Yun will really have a headache: "It feels so troublesome..."
"Will she challenge us too?"
The Four Heavenly Kings of Yehu Zen should be very famous in the industry, right?
Granny Sanchui once said that they are legendary figures passed down by word of mouth among spiritual masters.
Kotaki Goshiro: "Well, I'm already dead."
Natsume Reiko: "Dead 1."
So, the pressure was put on Grandpa and Tsuba Kishiro.
"What," Grandpa said seriously, "I will try my best to die within two years, please don't worry."
"Oh oh oh~~"
"As expected of Master Iijima."
"Master Kakuichi!"
Kotaki Goshiro and Reiko applauded one after another, praising their grandfather's determination.
"..."
Tsuba Kishiro looked embarrassed as if he had eaten shit: Did you do it on purpose or accidentally?
Among the Four Heavenly Kings of Yehu Zen, he has the longest lifespan and can live for another seventeen or eighteen years.
Tsuba: What about the Four Heavenly Kings who were promised? Such a big group, they just disbanded when they said they would disband?
traitor!
You three traitors!!
"Eh~~~"
Gu Yun was a little disappointed and said: "I was really looking forward to the battle between grandpa and Higa Kotoko."
"Kotoko Higa will definitely challenge the Iijima family."
What grandpa said just now was obviously a joke: "If she comes to me in the past two years, I will naturally accept the challenge, but if it takes more than two years, then she will be a little overwhelmed."…
After all, everyone is dead.
It is impossible for Higa Kotoko to chase him to Huangquan and fight with him.
Their purpose is to invite powerful exorcists to join the association, which is something that dead people cannot do.
"Maybe when the time comes, boy Gu Yun is needed, go fight her."
Tsuba Kishiro looked at Gu Yun jokingly, obviously putting the pressure back on the younger generation, making him quite contented.
"Tsuba is still such a scumbag."
"Even the kids are bullied."
"Yeah, that's so shameless."
"Hey! That's enough for you three!"
Tsuba Kishiro said dissatisfied: "A guy who died so casually has no right to make irresponsible remarks to me!"
"Eh~~"
"Shut up, everyone!!!"
All in all, Huangquan is another world after all.
Real world problems should not bother them anymore.
Therefore, there is a high probability that the people Higa Kotoko will challenge will be Gu Yun and Tsuba Kishiro.
Of course, Gu Yun is a junior, and with Higa Kotoko's arrogance, he will definitely not come to the house for a fight immediately.
She should go to Tsuba Kishiro first.
In terms of seniority and qualifications, Tsuba Kishiro is a first-rate folk master.
In terms of combat power, it is definitely not inferior to Iijima Snail.
If such a senior master, Kotoko Higa could beat him, the fame he would gain would definitely be far greater than that of an unknown person like Gu Yun.
Legendary little person.
"Then, where is Miyoko-senpai?"
"Miyako-chan should also be Higa's target."
Reiko already knew about Miyoko from Gu Yun and her grandfather.
When she died, Miyoko was only a child of seven or eight years old.
However, after the demon exorcism ceremony, Miyoko's spiritual level exceeded 50, and she was placed in the world of exorcism. She was a figure who could carry the flag after the Four Heavenly Kings.
If Kotoko Higa really wants to unify Japan's spirit-killing world with such a strong person, she will never let him go.
"Speaking of which, Higa's coming out of the mountain should actually be a good thing, right?"
In this regard, Kotaki Goshiro commented: "The warlocks in the spirit world are fighting on their own. If one person can really stand up, wouldn't it be what we hoped for back then?"
True exorcists are too rare.
There is only one person with psychic abilities in a million. Looking at the whole of Japan, there are probably only about 10,000 people.
Moreover, among these 10,000 people, the number of souls is only 1~5, that is, people like Iijima Tamaki, who can see ghosts but can't do anything, account for 90% of them.
There are only 10,000 people. Even if you claim that you can see monsters and ghosts, others will treat you as a delusional person or a middle-aged man.
In Japan as a whole, there are definitely more than 10,000 people with brain problems.
Even if they are all thrown into a mental hospital, the country will not put too much pressure on them.
One can imagine what kind of vulnerable group people with psychic abilities are.
Only they can see it, but they can't practice magic.
He is harassed by all kinds of ghosts and monsters every day, and his compatriots regard him as a weirdo and isolate him.
If things go on like this, even if there is no problem in the first place, I am afraid that all kinds of problems will develop.
"That is to say, if she comes to see me," Gu Yun asked, "Would it be better to support her?"
The total number of warlocks (who can cast spells) in Japan is estimated to be only 1,000...
These people are scattered throughout the country.
Among them, only two to three hundred people who are willing to become spiritual exterminators and take this as their profession can survive.
Just like Gu Yun, he is not actually a spiritual slayer, but a capable warlock.
In the same way, the Four Heavenly Kings of Yehu Zen all belong to this category.
Only warlocks whose main occupation is to remove spirits will be recognized as ‘official spirit removers.
And whether it is official or not, there is another most important criterion.
That is whether people in society and ordinary people can find you easily, such as how to issue a commission and how to contact this person.
Meiyoko and Gu Yun are just interested.
They won't accept any commissions at all, and they don't have similar contact channels. At most, they just help a bunch of people they know.
This is the unofficial folk magician.
Seven to eight hundred out of a thousand people fall into this category.
Folk sects live in seclusion all over the country, either in the mountains or in the countryside, or have serious jobs to support their lives.
The only way to communicate with each other is the annual Kyoto Spirit Exorcist Conference.
Therefore, if a warlock has never participated in the Soul Exterminator Convention, he may really become a transparent person.
Gu Yun: I am half transparent now...
"Um…"
Grandpa thought for a while and said: "Let's take a look first. If there is no problem with the other party's character, then we must support it."
The key lies in the person Kotoko Higa.
What exactly does she want to do?
If she really wants to gather all the magicians in Japan to create a new era.
As vested interests, they have no reason not to agree.
The other party is willing to stand in front of the stage and bear huge pressure and risks, but Gu Yun and others can receive various benefits.
How is this arrogance? He is simply a revolutionary leader!
"Since the Ten Named Sects have taken the initiative to invite the Higa Michio clan," Kotaki Goshiro said, "it seems that the official group of spiritual exterminators from the upper class are
, should support her."
The Ten Famous Sects are not evil people. They mix with the Japanese government and are essentially a deterrent to ordinary people.
In disguise, they actually protected people like Gu Yun.
"So that little girl's target is the folk group?"
Tsuba Kishiro clasped his hands and said with a rather troubled expression: "Ah, ah, ah, it's really troublesome. I don't want to have to fight the monster at my old age."
Not all folk sects are strong, but there are indeed some hidden masters within them that even ten sects look upon with suspicion.
Not to mention others, Tsuba Kishiro and Iijima Snail are similar to Fujitora who appeared in the Navy Recruitment.
Even if these two were placed in the top ten sects, they would definitely be bosses at the head level.
One-on-one, even if Kotoko Higa could win, it would never be easy.
After all, given their age, the huge spiritual power accumulated by the two seniors over decades is not something that a girl under 20 years old can underestimate.
"Let's take a look at Higa's matter first."
Anyway, even if the sky falls, there will still be tall people who can hold it up.
There are many people in the civil sect, and some of them are even hidden. Grandpa and the others have lost contact with them.
For example, in the Five Elements family, Hanazhi of Fire and Tsukino of Earth.
Grandpa can clearly feel that these two are in Japan and have never left...
However, the two families kept a low profile and hid it for more than fifty years. Even my grandfather only met the seniors of these two families when he was young.
At that time, some of the ten goalkeeper families were eliminated, not because the latter were not strong enough.
Instead, they gave up the intrigues in this world and chose to live in seclusion.
"Okay, let's talk about something happy."
Tsuba Kishiro suddenly said: "The four of us are called the Four Heavenly Kings by those who do good things, but in another ten years or so, the Four Heavenly Kings will probably become history."
"Are you happy about this?"
Gu Yun was at a loss and couldn't figure out where the happy spot was.
"Inheritance, inheritance."
Tsuba Kishiro crossed his hands: "I really can't find anyone here who can teach the God of War, and I don't want this forbidden art to be lost, so I'm very troubled by this."
Fighting God Technique, also known as Fighting God Technique, is a forbidden technique created by Tsuba Kishiro.
Together with Reiko's Law Order Technique, Kotaki's Spirit Vision Technique, and Grandpa's God Control Technique, they are also known as the Four Forbidden Techniques in folklore.
"Do you think everyone hides their treasures like you, Shirou?"
Kotaki Goshirō smiled proudly: "I have passed down the art of spiritual vision well!"
He passed on his spiritual vision to Snail, who in turn passed it on to Miyoko and Gu Yun.
Therefore, there are descendants of spiritual vision, and they are all living well.
"This is indeed a problem."
Reiko said: "Reina is not spiritual enough to create her own friends' account."
"Why?"
Speaking of this, Reiko looked at Gu Yun: "Isn't this ready-made? Shirou, that's what you actually mean!"
"Nenei, Gu Yun-chan, do you want to learn your sister's law technique?"
"Law Technique?"
"It's the forbidden technique that I used to create a tent of friends," Reiko smiled and hugged Gu Yun in her arms: "Tani Yun-chan can definitely learn it, and maybe she can surpass me."
"Then I'll pass on the God of War technique to Xiao Guyun."
Tsuba Kishiro showed a deceitful smile as if a female cadre had succeeded in her scheme, and he said, "Brother Iijima must have taught this child the art of controlling gods, right?"
"No way, in that case..."
Reiko exclaimed: "Doesn't Xiao Guyun want to master the four forbidden arts by himself?"
As a warlock, he must keep his secret skills well hidden.
However, Kotaki Goshiro trusted his grandfather and entrusted him with the spiritual vision technique. Grandpa doted on Gu Yun and directly passed on the two forbidden arts.
As for Natsume Reiko, she knows that her friends
The nature of the human tent, the Law and Order Technique, is so terrifying, so it is well protected.
But if the other party is Gu Yun, Lingzi is willing to believe him.
"I can understand Reiko doing this."
Grandpa looked at Tsuba Kishiro and said in confusion: "Taishiro, I remember that you are planning to completely eliminate the God of War, aren't you?"
"Isn't it time to meet a talented young man?"
"Eh~~~"
The three of them looked at Tsuba Kishiro suspiciously.
They don't doubt each other's abilities, but their character does need to be considered.
Of course, Tsuba Kishiro is definitely a good person, a kind-hearted person, and he will never do anything to harm Gu Yun.
"Oh I got it!"
Kotaki Goshiro seemed to understand something, and he whispered a few words to Reiko and Grandpa.
The next moment, the three of them looked at Gu Yun in unison, showing a strange evil smile.
"That's right."
"It seems very interesting."
"Yeah, right."
Seeing that his old friends had read his mind, Tsuba Kishiro immediately said: "Sure enough, the future era will have to be left to the young people. It's time for us old guys to retreat bravely."
"Arnold," Reiko raised her hand, "I'm already dead."
Kotaki Goshiro: "Dead 1."
Grandpa: "I will stay with you for up to two years."
"You three bastards!!"
Tsuba Kishiro gritted his teeth angrily: I can still live for seventeen or eighteen years, when will I be able to stand up!
"Then what..."
Gu Yun's mouth twitched slightly: "Seniors, don't you want me to fight Higa Kotoko?"
"Hey~~"
Seeing how disrespectful the four people were, Gu Yun's fist hardened.
"Then Gu Yun, don't you want to learn?"
Grandpa's words really hit Gu Yun's weakness.
He wants to learn.
Gu Yun's biggest hobby now is learning all kinds of magic.
Facing secret arts such as the Legal Order Technique and the Fighting God Technique, which are about to be out of print, Gu Yun can't find any reason to refuse.
"Then it's such a happy decision."
Tsuba Kishiro is worthy of his reputation as a scumbag, and he doesn't even frown when he tries to trick the younger generation...
Chapter completed!
