Chapter 109 I, Tamaki Iijima, vow to fight the evil forces to the end
"It's been cured, Master."
The green fluorescence gradually dissipated, and Yingcao left Gu Yun's body, holding a dandelion floating in the air.
The little good girl checked Higa Kotoko's condition and found that her original damaged body had recovered, which meant that she had recovered and became a girl with a future again.
Gu Yun exited the haunted state.
This was the first time he had used the power of Slippery Ghost in actual combat, and he didn't expect it to be particularly useful.
"That's good. Thank you for your hard work, Yingcao."
Gu Yun looked at the shrine maiden who was still in a coma and let Yingcao return to the courtyard.
Gu Yun waved his hand casually, and the originally broken earth was immediately restored.
He gently placed the girl on the ground, and his gentle movements seemed to be noticed by the unconscious Higa Kotoko, which made her frown slightly relax.
"Hmm~~"
With a gentle cry, the girl woke up from her painful dream.
"Yo!"
She opened her eyes and saw Gu Yun's smile: "How do you feel?"
This made Miss Miko a little embarrassed, and blamed herself for being able to break her psychological defenses by such a simple method.
"Thanks."
Just like Gu Yun saw her memory, the girl also knew what he had done to her.
Obviously, the other party had no ill intentions and everything he did was to help her.
The Taoist seal is crumbling, and in three years at most, she may lose control.
At that time, in order to survive, Higa Kotoko can only choose to "sacrifice" in exchange for more time.
The so-called sacrifice means giving up flesh and blood and a sound body, such as blindness in the eyes, paralysis of the legs, and the weakening or even disappearance of various internal organs.
The deal with the evil god is definitely not as easy as imagined.
In the end, the girl will probably become a zombie like the anti-miko of all generations.
Calculating the time, she should be less than 30 years old at that time.
In fact, very few Taoist priestesses in the past have lived to this age, and most of them died in their early 20s.
With ten years more than the others, Higa Kotoko is worthy of the title of the strongest miko in the past thousand years.
"Your Excellency Gu Yun, why do you want to help me?"
Higa Kotoko regained control of her body. She felt it for a moment and immediately discovered that the originally shaky Dao reverse seal in her body had been repaired and even became more perfect than before.
This result was somewhat beyond the girl's expectation. She originally thought that Gu Yun had just relieved the pressure of the evil god.
"you…"
The miko lady subconsciously asked: "How did you do it? With such a complete Taoist seal, even we..."
"You're welcome!"
Gu Yun interrupted Higa Kotoko's inquiry: "I just casually analyzed your Taoist seal, helped you repair it, and also improved it a bit."
“…..”
Higa Kotoko was shocked by Gu Yun's ability. Where did he learn the anti-seal technique?
What was your kung fu just now?
Learn now and sell now?
If this is really the case, it would be too scary.
"Is this what you planned from the beginning?"
The witch lady is very smart and has already figured out Gu Yun's previous performance.
The other party is irritating herself so that she can have a psychological defense and then help reshape the seal.
Gu Yun helped her, and it was such a life-saving grace.
As for why I didn’t say it properly…
Putting aside Gu Yun's empty talk, Higa Kotoko believes that he can repair the seal.
The girl would definitely not agree to just releasing the evil god.
Therefore, following the urgency of the matter, Gu Yun chose to kill first and then report, let the dust settle, and then leave it to Higa Kotoko to make her own judgment.
Fortunately, Higa Kotoko is not someone who repays kindness with hatred.
If it weren't for her sister's safety, and if Gu Yun's constant mental spells had shaken her mind, Higa Kotoko would never have lost her composure like this.
She is very calm and can tell right from wrong.
Gu Yun's methods were a bit excessive and forceful, but since he was trying to save her, he was her benefactor.
"Thank you."
Higa Kotoko tried to stand up, but found that her feet were weak, like a body recovering from a serious illness, and could not support her free movement at all.
"Mr. Tsubagi and Miyako asked me to help you."
Gu Yun supported the shaky miko lady and let her collapse on the ground again: "If you want to thank them, just thank them."
"No, this is just one aspect."
Higa Kotoko shook her head and said, "What I mean is that you helped me point out a serious mental flaw."
The girl is talking about her sister Makoto.
If Gu Yun hadn't brought this up, she wouldn't have even known that being threatened by an enemy against her sister would cause such a huge emotional upheaval for her.
In terms of fighting skills, Gu Yun undoubtedly won this one.
Regardless of the result or his omissions in naming himself, the young man in front of him is the winner of this battle.
"Kotoko Higa, I am convinced."
"In addition, I will definitely repay you for your life-saving grace in the future."
Looking at the girl with a serious attitude, Gu Yun actually thought: 'As long as you don't blame me for seeing you fat, I will be grateful.'
"Your Excellency Gu Yun?"
"What?"
"Are you thinking of something bad?"
Is this a woman’s sixth sense?
"how come!"
Gu Yun quickly changed the subject: "You are more familiar with the matter of sealing than I am. If you investigate further, if there are any problems, I can correct them immediately."
"good."
Higa Kotoko knelt on the ground and meditated for a short period of time.
Soon, the miko lady opened her eyes, her brows filled with joy.
Not just a simple seal, Gu Yun also set up a channel for her to extract evil gods.
This allows Kotoko Higa to truly borrow or even steal the power of the evil god without affecting her sanity and causing her to go berserk.
The miko lady can predict what a huge leap her strength will take once she becomes familiar with this method of extracting the power of the evil god.
"Your Excellency Gu Yun's seal is even better than the one passed down by the Daofan clan."
Higa Kotoko said: "The Dao Anti-Seal requires more than 70 spiritual points to be cast. Even among the ten sects, there is only one sorcerer with such qualifications."
The miko lady couldn't do it, and it seemed like no one she knew could accomplish such a great feat.
"If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have lived for three years."
"With my character, I will definitely keep myself alive. I don't know what price I will pay by then."
Higa Kotoko is a perfect lady, but she is much more elegant than that fake Hiratsuka Shizuka.
Except for her initial bosozou attire, in Gu Yun's mind, the miko lady is like a classical lady of Chinese origin, elegant and noble.
This kind of temperament is definitely not comparable to the "nouveau riche" like the Iijima family.
"Yeah~~"
Gu Yun waved his hands repeatedly: "It's just a small effort. If you insist on thanking me, just give me face in the spirit removal circle in the future."
"It's natural!"
Higa Kotoko actually didn't quite understand the meaning of Gu Yun's words.
But considering the size of the Iijima family, they obviously don't need money.
In terms of power, the Iijima family, which already controls public opinion, politics, and the economy, is at its peak and does not need Higa Kotoko's help.
Calculating it this way, excluding what Gu Yun said about 'giving face', Higa Kotoko seems to think that the only things that can satisfy the other party are the ancient books and spells accumulated by the Douban clan.
'Well, that's it.'
With an idea in mind, Higa Kotoko asked Gu Yun about his need for spells.
"Spell?!"
Gu Yun quickly said: "Okay, okay, I'm really interested in this. Let's study it together then."
In order not to cause too much loss to the other party, Gu Yun also expressed his willingness to share the research results.
The only requirement is that Kotoko Higa cannot tell these things to other members of the Douban clan.
"To be honest, I don't like your family very much. It makes people feel disgusting."
The previous sealing technique briefly connected the two emotionally. Gu Yun saw the memory of Higa Kotoko, and the girl also felt his character and attitude.
So Higa Kotoko can understand, after all, even she herself sometimes thinks that my fate is up to me.
"In this case, I am taking advantage."
The spell is given to Gu Yun, who studies it, and the results obtained from it are shared by both parties.
This approach is no different from Higa Kotoko finding a teacher for herself.
And with Gu Yun's talent, being able to sit down and talk with him, Higa Kotoko only felt her face getting hot, and she felt a little shameless for no reason.
"Actually, I have a question, I wonder if..."
Higa Kotoko looked at the young man in front of her and recalled the evil aura she had experienced previously, which made the miko lady very confused.
It's obvious that Gu Yun's mind is very pure, but how did he create that evil scene?
"What is the evil god you just summoned and that terrifying evil aura..."
Could it be that the evil god was also sealed in Gu Yun's body? Higa Kotoko had a vague expectation that she had found someone of the same kind.
"Xiaoju is the evil god I 'surrendered'."
"As expected of Your Excellency Gu Yun."
Higa Kotoko had no doubt that being as powerful as Gu Yun and subduing an evil god was nothing at all.
"That evil spirit is..."
"It's just a spell."
Gu Yun had already thought of a countermeasure, so he transferred the evil energy from his body, so that only blessings remained.
For a time, the golden light was shining, and countless good gods sang holy songs.
This kind of dignity makes even gods and Buddhas pale in front of young people.
"I see!"
Naturally, Higa Kotoko didn't fully believe it, but she didn't intend to pursue it.
Not to mention that Gu Yun showed kindness to her, completed the anti-Tao seal, and saved the girl's life.
With the boy's frightening power, Higa Kotoko was helpless.
So what if it's true?
If Gu Yun is really some kind of evil god, can Higa Kotoko be able to deal with it?
Don't be kidding, that's the end.
"I thought you were just like me."
This was the reason why Higa Kotoko asked, wanting to know if Gu Yun had the same problem as her.
"Actually, it's pretty much the same."
Think back to the awakened shikigami on the scroll, red leaves, hannya, higanhua, and then the recent Yamata no Orochi.
It seems that there is nothing wrong with saying that they are evil gods, evil gods, and ghosts who were 'sealed' in their bodies by Gu Yun.
In other words, Gu Yun did suppress them with his own power, preventing them from wreaking havoc on the world and causing harm to one party.
"I see."
Higa Kotoko was very smart, and after just a brief thought, she came up with the possibility of the opposition between good and evil.
That is, a warlock conquered an extremely terrifying evil god, causing himself to bear the other person's evil karma, thus exuding evil energy all over his body.
Gu Yun's situation just now was obviously very similar to this type of warlock.
As for the current holiness, it must be that Lord Gu Yun has conquered many good shikigami and used their light to cover up the auras of the evil shikigami.
'Amazing.'
Gu Yun heard Higa Kotoko's speculation about herself, and secretly said that the anti-miko was really good: "Although there are still deviations, it is almost the same."
"Don't worry, Mr. Gu Yun, I will never leak your information to anyone."
"Whether it's spells or your shikigami," Higa Kotoko said, "I will never let a third person know about it."
"In addition, I will also publicize to the outside world that I lost to Mr. Gu Yun and that you are the number one spiritual exterminator in Japan."
When she heard Tsuba Kishiro's arrogance earlier, Higa Kotoko was still a little unconvinced.
Now I competed with Gu Yun, but I found that I couldn't even touch the opponent's heel.
Beat up!
Tsubagi was right, he really hung her up and beat her.
"No, no, no!"
Hearing Higa Kotoko's words, Gu Yun suddenly became anxious: "As I said before, if I win you, you have to listen to me."
Without giving the other party a chance to refute, Gu Yun said bluntly: "My request is very simple. As a result of this fight, you need to declare to the outside world that we are tied, and make it clear to you after the fight that you are not willing to join.
Spiritual Masters Association.”
"Tie, tie?"
Higa Kotoko was stunned: "But..."
She knows her strength well. Not counting the power of evil gods, it is stronger than Hongye and Prajna. She is a powerful spirit slayer who can defeat big monsters.
But compared with Gu Yun, it's really far behind.
Even if the evil gods were completely unsealed, Gu Yun could ignore Higa Kotoko's wishes and go berserk, sealing them at will.
With such unfathomable strength, how dare the miko lady say 'tie'.
Where did she get her face? Is she so thick?
"There's nothing that can't be said."
Gu Yun admires Higa Kotoko's will and personality very much.
She wants to guard the world and protect ordinary people, which is what Gu Yun is doing.
The difference is that Gu Yun does not intend to save the world.
Higa Kotoko has such an idea and is willing to take risks and put in all her efforts for it.
It's okay if Gu Yun doesn't help, how can he hold her back?
Just imagine, Higa Kotoko's defeat to the now unknown Tani Yun, how much influence and blow this will have on the ten sects' plan to deal with the tide of ghost stories.
Therefore, Miss Miko cannot be defeated, at least not so cheaply!
Unless Gu Yun is willing to expose his own strength and promote his status as the best in the world.
But in that case, how many people would come to look for him after encountering trouble, and what kind of conspiracy vortex would they fall into, dragging Gu Yun into the quagmire and getting tired of running around.
"I almost understand your ambition."
After Gu Yun's explanation, Higa Kotoko understood his ambition: "Since this is the case, then Kotoko can only shamelessly say that he failed to defeat Lord Gu Yun."
It was a failure to defeat, not a tie.
There is no way, Higa Kotoko really can't accept the word 'tie', it's really shameless.
"Miss Qinzi, you can understand, and I'm grateful."
Gu Yun did not look down upon Miss Miko just because she was stronger than her opponent.
The other party is one of the most powerful warlocks he has encountered since he came to this world, and he is also one of the very few people who can sit with Gu Yun and communicate on an equal footing.
In a way, Gu Yun is actually very lonely.
Gu Yun is actually quite happy to have a peer with high EQ and IQ.
"Everyone has their own way of survival. Since Mr. Gu Yun doesn't have this idea, I will naturally not make trouble unreasonably."
Not only that, Higa Kotoko also wants to help Gu Yun and let him live the life he likes: "Don't worry, Lord Gu Yun, as long as you don't want to, the Ten Names will not disturb your seclusion."
The two agreed on the rhetoric and announced to the public that the fight ended in a draw, and Higa Kotoko would not nag Gu Yun about this matter again.
"Ah, I really need Miss Qinzi's help in this regard."
Gu Yun paused and added: "However, there is one thing I want to explain."
"I just don't want to get involved in the intrigues of the supernatural world, that's all."
"But if there is a big demon that causes trouble somewhere, and Miss Higa needs my power, then I am willing to do my part to protect the world."
Gu Yun has a stable world and is not invaded by evil spirits and ghost stories. It is Gu Yun's duty to do so.
Otherwise, it will be the end of the world, and Gu Yun's family and friends will also be in danger.
He couldn't accept this result, so he had to take action.
"Your Excellency Gu Yun, are you really willing?"
"Um."
Gu Yun said: "I only have one-way contact with you, I don't want others to know my strength."
A person with abilities doesn't want to be a hero, but he doesn't mind helping others.
The same goes for Gu Yun.
He just doesn't want to be bound by the rules and regulations of the Soul Exorcist Association, rather than turning a blind eye to the ghost stories raging in the world.
Likewise, Gu Yun is very capable.
And when a person has abilities, a group of people will inevitably appear and make various demands on him.
Obligations, responsibilities, missions…
All kinds of burdens will be thrown on Gu Yun's shoulders by those idiots, while he will enjoy the benefits because of his incompetence and weakness.
If something like this really happened, Gu Yun was worried that he would be unable to bear it and become a villain.
Gu Yun: So, Miss Qinzi, you don’t want me to become evil, right?
"absolute!"
"We will never let this happen!"
Higa Kotoko obviously foresaw such a future, so she secretly made up her mind to never let those idiots cause trouble to Gu Yun.
'By the way, in this case, Mr. Gu Yun is no different from joining the Spiritual Exorcist Association, right?'
Higa Kotoko figured out Gu Yun's acting style. He was the kind of person who hated taking responsibility but was willing to lend a helping hand.
'You are truly worthy of being the descendant of the Four Heavenly Kings of Yehu Zen.'
The girl showed a bright smile and praised: "The older generation said that Teacher Snail has both ability and political integrity. As the head of the contemporary Iijima style, Mr. Gu Yun, this quality is really admirable."
"However, if possible, I hope you can call me Qinzi."
"Oh, then you can also call me Gu Yun."
Gu Yun stretched out his hand and held it with Qinzi: "We will be friends from now on."
"friend…"
To be honest, this word is very new to Hikari Kotoko.
She has no friends.
Kotoko Higa has never made any friends with ordinary people or psychics.
The strict supervision of the Douban clan and various forced training tasks have made the miko miss live in endless darkness for ten years.
The tribesmen euphemistically called it to temper her mind.
But this is Higa Kotoko, she is determined.
If it were another person with such talents and qualifications, he would probably have become a black man long ago.
Not talking about the future, with the power Higa Kotoko has now, if she is willing, she can directly defeat the entire clan.
Well, let's put it this way, Higa Makoto is indeed the miko-san's Achilles' heel.
The members of the Taoist clan control the younger sister and make the girl throw herself into a trap. No matter how powerful she is, she is unable to do anything.
What's even more embarrassing is that the Taoist clan cleverly packaged this matter as "justice."
Maybe at this time, if Kotoko Higa fights back, Makoto, who has been brainwashed by her elders, will think that her sister is crazy.
The reason for this is because the Daoban clan has constantly instilled in the clan the idea that 'evil gods can change their minds' and 'those shrine maidens who are forced to panic are all bewitched by evil gods'.
Good guys and bad guys are all decided by these old guys.
However, this series of scheming methods left Higa Kotoko, who was only seventeen years old and had spent a lot of her life in cultivation and exorcism, unable to resist.
A girl is not born with knowledge, she just has high talent and strong learning ability.
Faced with political means and spiritual pua, Higa Kotoko couldn't teach herself.
She can only hope that Qiban will master this method as soon as possible through her own intelligence and save her sister from the deception of the Dao rebel clan.
Higa Kotoko has already thought about it. She will study psychology in college so that those old people can see what it means to be a scary female doctor!
"Your family is indeed in trouble."
Gu Yun's mind-reading ability can be called a bug at such a distance.
He could hear almost any girl's thoughts clearly.
"Although you have saved my life, you may not be able to stop reading my thoughts?"
The girl's face was slightly red, and it always made her a little uncomfortable for the other party to know some private things.
"Sorry sorry."
Gu Yun tapped his temple gently: "Well, I can't hear you anymore."
"Forehead…"
Higa Kotoko found that Gu Yun had a particularly gentle personality, just like the younger brother next door.
This reminded her of her sister Makoto, and she unconsciously felt a little homesick.
"Oh, by the way, I have cured your physical problems."
"Wha, what?"
Higa Kotoko was puzzled, and Gu Yun said: "It is your body function that was destroyed by the tribe. I used the power of shikigami to treat it for you."
Function, destroyed by tribesmen, treatment...
"You, you mean?!"
The girl subconsciously put her hand on her lower abdomen. Her voice was trembling, even crying: "Is this true? I..."
"Thank you, thank you very much."
"I was already prepared to be alone for the rest of my life..."
Speaking of this, even an intellectual and beautiful girl like Kotoko Higa couldn't help but feel her cheeks get hot, so she immediately stopped the topic, leaving only the uncontrollable joy and excitement.
"As long as you don't blame me for making my own decisions."
Gu Yun scratched his cheek. Although he felt a little embarrassed to say such a thing, he still said clearly: "When I used the sealing technique, I found that they used Tao anti-secret techniques to destroy your internal organs."
"This kind of damage is not only on the magical level, but also on the material level."
It's like the difference between being cursed and unable to use your arm, and having your arm cut off directly.
The Douban clan not only placed a curse on the girl, but also used physical means to cause permanent and irreversible damage to the internal organs of the miko.
Higa Kotoko naturally knew about this, and she also hated and regretted it.
But at this time, her sister's existence will become her spiritual sustenance. Even if she does not have children in the future, she still has a family.
However, as the girl continues to grow up, the loneliness and despair of being alone become more and more clear.
"Uh, don't cry!"
Gu Yun saw Higa Kotoko crying and quickly stepped forward to comfort her.
"I'm sorry, I just, just..."
The miko lady's words were confused, and in the end she could only cover her mouth and cry silently.
No matter how strong a woman is, she will still have weaknesses, and children, family, future and family ties are Higa Kotoko's fatal weaknesses.
"I just don't know how to thank you."
The Dao Anti-Seal was completed, so that she would not have to worry about the evil god breaking the seal for at least several decades. Now, her body that had been damaged by the madness of her tribe had been cured, and she had a better future and hope.
'Usually in this kind of situation, the promise is made with one's body.'
Of course, Gu Yun was just joking. He already had Jing Keai and he really didn't dare to provoke others at will.
If you have feelings and can't escape, let's talk about it differently.
But Higa Kotoko only met him once, and they were far from falling in love.
"Since I decided to make you my friend, I can't ignore your injuries."
"The old man said before his death, help those who are worthy of help," Gu Yun said: "And in my opinion, Qinzi, you should not suffer such a fate."
"As for saying thank you..."
Gu Yun doesn't mind lending a helping hand to people he recognizes: "If I encounter difficulties in the future, wouldn't it be nice if you help me once?"
Friends are meant to help each other and deepen their relationship.
"Um!"
Higa Kotoko wiped away her tears and tried to calm down as much as possible.
The matter of repaying kindness has reached this level, and the miko lady really has no choice.
Life-saving grace brings new life.
How can she repay this?
Do you really want to commit yourself to the other person and pack up your entire being to give to the other person?
"So Gu Yun, are you really not going to leave the mountain?"
Higa Kotoko's originally extinguished thoughts were once again ignited.
Only this time, she no longer used 'mission' and 'responsibility' to force the young man, but truly felt that Gu Yun should stand up and lead them.
Needless to say, in terms of ability, the miko lady believed that Gu Yun could kill ten sects by herself.
As for character, there is no doubt about this.
If it were any other person, with such power, would he be able to restrain himself from doing whatever he wants?
'This self-discipline alone is admirable.'
To sum up, Higa Kotoko sincerely feels that Gu Yun should go with her to become the president of the Soul Exorcist Association.
No matter what others think, Higa Kotoko is willing to follow the boy in front of her and create a new future with him.
In Miss Miko's opinion, becoming Gu Yun's retainer and being loyal to him is the only way she can think of to repay her gratitude.
"Tsk tsk tsk."
"Qinzi, you made your promise before, why did you regret it again?"
Gu Yun wasn't angry, it was just a joke.
"I, I just..."
Higa Kotoko wanted to explain, but couldn't find any reason.
"Fine."
"If you think so, that's your freedom," Gu Yun said with a smile: "I won't say my answer for now, but before that, I think you should discuss it with my mother first."
Gu Yun is naturally not a mama's boy, but Tamaki Iijima is too good at this aspect of gaming.
"Why?!"
Hearing Iijima Tamaki's name, Higa Kotoko instinctively felt guilty: "I, I think this is Gu Yun's business, and you have the right to decide all this!"
"Yeah?"
Gu Yun shrugged: "Although I have a fight with you, Miss Qinzi, you have to know one thing."
"What?"
"I'm still a minor!"
Gu Yun looked at Higa Kotoko's dull look and couldn't help but laugh: "Anyway, let's wait for my lawyer, no, let's wait until my mother comes."
Throw the blame!
Gu Yun did not hesitate to blame the trouble on his mother.
Tamaki Iijima: As Gu Yun’s guardian, if you have anything, you can tell me.
The decision-maker of the Iijima family has always been Gu Yun.
But as long as Gu Yun needs it, his mother will not hesitate to become his shield: 'I will not give up Xiao Gu Yun to you!'
Tamaki Iijima said that after finally killing an Iijima snail, so many ghosts and monsters came out to steal her son.
Unforgivable!
I, Ring Iijima, vow to fight against the evil forces to the end!
