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.
Yawning, Gu Yun came to the restaurant after washing up.
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 a Western old man from the Taisho era of Japan, with a cane and a black gentleman's hat on his head.
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.
The old man Nanfeng said: "Real gods cannot go to the afterlife, because the afterlife is the lower world."
"It's Inari God-sama."
"This matter is a bit troublesome." x2
Almost at the same time as grandpa spoke, Gu Yun also said the same thing.
This is the tip of the iceberg of this diverse world that Grandpa, Miyoko and Gu Yun once described.
Early the next morning, Gu Yun woke up from his deep sleep and found that there was nothing around him.
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.
"Then, is it Mr. Fujitaka's problem?"
But when living people enter the afterlife, they will be eroded by the laws of the afterlife and will disappear soon.
"If I have the chance, I would like to see that mysterious world."
Lu looked at this scene with great curiosity.
Grandpa said helplessly: "Actually, Nadeshiko's daughter is not an ordinary person. Like you, Gu Yun, she was born in a womb."
"Oh, thank you."
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.
Fascinated by the majesty of Gu Yun, 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."
In Japan, the pronunciation of paper is similar to that of god, and it can mislead demons.
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."
"Thank you, Onii-chan!"
The afterlife is the return from the underworld to the present world, so it is level 1.5.
Therefore, gods without physical and spiritual bodies cannot go to the afterlife.
In their hands, they possess the art of controlling gods that can create gods and enhance the power of gods.
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?"
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.
Gu Yun didn't expect to come to his grandfather's place, and a new shikigami came out. What a surprise.
Snail really enjoys this kind of playing time with her grandson.
"ah?"
Old Nanfeng and Grandpa have been friends for many years and have received a lot of help from Snail in the past.
"It is used to cover your face and block the breath of things in this world."
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.
If that's the case, Gu Yun frowned: "That's really troublesome."
"sound…"
In the description of Old Man Nanfeng, the afterlife is built on an endless ocean, which is connected by railways.
"Boom~Boom~~"
They will ride on the tram, sail on the rails, and recall their two lives before and after death.
'This clue to the shikigami came so suddenly.'
"Boom!"
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.
"Neither nor."
Gu Yun was confused, this is unscientific!
"I heard Guyun Onii-chan's voice!"
"By the way, this is a gift," Gu Yun said, "Some of it is for Xiao Si. Please pass it on to me."
"So, there are many gods in the afterlife?"
"It's really a blessing for me to be able to talk to you."
“I’ll come next year too~~”
"Since both Nadeshiko and Mr. Fujitaka are paying attention, where did Sakura appear from?"
My mother has been like this since he was a child, quietly going out and letting him continue to sleep.
"Have a nice trip, Mr. Nanfeng."
Moreover, he is already very old and has always wanted to find an opportunity to retire.
"During this process, the soul loses all color and turns into a black shadow."
"Can't have any more children?"
Old Nanfeng smiled and said, "But remember to prepare paper and masks."
Gu Yun said: "What does it mean to be born from a womb?"
Grandpa shook his head and said: "Nadeko did not ignore my warning, she followed it well."
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.
Needless to say, masks are things that hide one’s identity.
If Nadeshiko and Fujitaka didn't have sex, then who is Sakura's father? Could it be that Nadeshiko cheated on her?
Gu Yun asked curiously: "Are all the cherry blossoms in Japan under your control?"
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."
"Um…"
"Haa~~~"
Gu Yun asked doubtfully: "What?"
To a certain extent, the people of the Iijima family can indeed occupy the dominant and lordship position in their interactions with gods.
Huangquan is the other world, the second level.
"Let me introduce you to Xiao Guyun."
"TV shows I want to watch..."
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.
The old man is not a human being, he is also a god.
"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.
"Didn't I tell you?"
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.
"Well…"
"Not at all! Old man!"
Are there actually adult and old benevolent gods?
"When humans are tired, they go to the underworld; when gods are tired, they pass through the afterlife."
Gu Yun stood in the carriage of the chariot, lifted the curtain at the rear, and shouted and waved downwards.
In the same way, Nadeshiko forced herself to give birth to a second child even though she knew about her own body. This...
"Grandpa, I know how children are born."
"Ah, what a distinguished young master."
"After the human soul reaches the afterlife, it will embark on a final journey."
Well, he's used to it.
But the Iijima family's situation is very special.
"Um…"
"Oh, that, that's good."
If you want to survive, you must eat food from the next life.
[Obtain clues to the new shikigami ‘Sakura Demon’]
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 pebbled garden, and a huge cherry blossom tree.
However, this has no effect on Gu Yun.
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"?"
"Um?"
"I told her about Nadeshiko's problem back then."
"It's Guyun Onii-chan's voice."
"Hey, long time no see, Lu."
If they want to go through, they need to make a body for themselves, with different materials and strange images, including animals and monsters.
Grandpa corrected him: "To be precise, he is serving my grandson."
The wife didn't want it, but the husband couldn't help it, so he died.
"Hello, Mr. Nanfeng, I am Iijima Taniun."
Sakura Demon, another new SR is about to be purchased.
"Grandpa~~~"
These shadows will get off the bus at different places and start their next life.
"No no no."
Gu Yun jumped off the divine chariot and turned it into a cloud of fire and dissipated it with a wave of his hand.
Every time Gu Yun came to see him, the old man said this.
"???"
Obviously, this sentence has become grandpa's mantra.
With the sound of wheels rolling, an ancient chariot with four wheels burning with flames and clouds riding below appeared in the courtyard.
"Then Xiao Kong, you stay."
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.
"Do gods even retire?"
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.
"Master Iijima, if you are interested, you can go and see the afterlife."
"No, I was just too sudden and I don't know where to start."
"Haha, my brother has something to do with grandpa today. I will take you to play in the sky next time."
Summoning method: Find a cherry blossom tree and give it the godhead of a cherry blossom.
"..."
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?"
Grandpa thought for a while, as if he didn't know where to start.
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.
There is more than one elf in the cherry blossoms, and Old Nanfeng just happens to be in charge of this one.
The third level is the quagmire of the evil gods, and the fourth level is the sky of the good gods.
Iijima Juan immediately put down the dishes she was washing, dried her hands, and walked to the entrance.
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."
But for Nadeshiko, she didn't have any need to have a daughter. She was actually satisfied with Toya as her son.
But Gu Yun didn't come from there.
Yubaba's hot spring house, the food street around the hot house, and the gods coming from the sea on ships.
"This is…"
【Sakura Demon】
But he doesn't hate it.
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.
The fifth level is the divine realm where the gods live.
"The words of the spirit of the cherry blossom tree..."
Awakening Mission: Contact a Sakura Flower Essence (Completed)
Grandpa said: "This is Grandpa's old friend. You can call him Mr. Nanfeng."
Gu Yun knew about the existence of Sakura Kinomoto because of the anime in her previous life.
Grandpa nodded, secretly thinking that this child is too mature.
“…..”
Grandpa glanced at Gu Yun helplessly, smiled and patted his head gently: "You bastard."
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."
It stands to reason that using 'service' to describe the relationship between gods and humans is somewhat disrespectful.
Gu Yun touched the head of a little crossdresser, then walked up to the snail and the old man: "Grandpa, this is..."
Feeling the breath in the sky, the white-bearded old man stood up curiously: "Which noble god is coming?"
"Lü, where are you going?"
Huangquan is also called the other world, and the afterlife is a very magical place.
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.
"It's not what you said, Gu Yun."
"No, not the Iijima family."
"Is there any taboo that you can't tell me?"
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?"
Kinomoto Fujitaka, Nadeshiko’s husband, Momoya and Sakura’s father, and the reincarnation of Crowrido.
The afterlife is between matter and soul, so ordinary people have a certain chance of breaking into it.
Racially speaking, they are similar to the Yingcao around Gu Yun.
"Xiao Guyun is here?"
Because his spiritual quality is very high, his existence can be recognized by the next life.
"No, Gu Yun, you misunderstood."
"Master, breakfast is ready."
"I'm going to find grandpa, Xiao Kong, will you come with me?"
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.
What do the west side of the sea and the east side of the mountain mean, what is eclipse, and what is the difference between the egg fruit and the embryonic fruit?
