Chapter 79 Waiting for the night girl to catch a bird
"Enough about the magical and interesting little leprechaun."
"Next, I'm going to tell you about a bad guy that needs attention."
"Everyone take out your pens," Gu Yun said, "write down everything I say next."
There is a saying that a good memory is worse than a bad writing.
Although Gu Yun would give them relevant pictures afterwards.
But once you go through it, you can always leave a certain impression.
Evil demons are different from good demons. You can just listen to the latter as a story, and there will be no danger if you encounter it in the future.
Damn monsters are different.
If you don't understand the other person and contact them rashly, your life may be in danger.
Therefore, there is no reason for Gu Yun to be careless.
"Crash."
Amidst the sound of books turning, everyone was ready to take notes.
"Well, then I'll start."
"Everyone, do you know Hei Yi?" (sheng, 3 sounds)
Black 皚, in ancient times, was a disaster caused by water vapor in the five elements. The water in the five elements was black, so it was called black 皚 in ancient times.
"I…"
At this time, Gao Shangtou raised his little hand: "I heard my mother say it."
This child is only 3 years old, but his spiritual power is the highest among everyone present.
Spirits above 50 are perfectly inherited from Miyoko's Water Spirit Flower.
Miyako married outside, causing the Mizui family to lose its heir.
Gao Shengsheng can become the new head of the Sanchui family, but after all, he does not have spiritual power and cannot accept the inheritance of the Sanchui family.
To this end, Miyoko used her psychic vision and went to the ordinary world with Mr. Gao Shang.
There, the couple made a sincere wish to a tree, and 10 months later, they received a baby boy from the fallen eggs. This was Gao Shangtou.
Xiaotou is shy and kind-hearted. He is a human god who has been blessed by the world since he was born and is loved by countless good gods.
Meiyoko asked the child to worship under Gu Yun's sect and become his direct disciple.
So really counting, among these people, the relationship between Xiao Tou and Gu Yun is even closer than that of Touya and Aoi.
It's the kind of thing where the sister's children call him uncle.
In ancient terms, it is a member of the Iijima family.
With this origin, when Xiao Tou grows up, it will also become his responsibility and obligation to protect Gu Yun's face and interests.
Therefore, Gu Yun is very fond of Xiao Tou and has high expectations.
"Xiao Tou, can you tell me something?"
Children's memories are generally not very good.
But because Xiaotou was born from an egg, it is a bit like what Easterners call an innate body.
This gave the boy excellent talent and a photographic memory.
The only problem is that this child has not inherited Miyoko's carefree temper.
On the contrary, like his father, he is very introverted, shy and gentle.
"I, I don't know much."
Xiao Tou plucked up the courage and said: "Mom just said that Hei Yi first appeared in the ancient country on the other side of the ocean, in the city called the Capital. It was a monster from the east to the far east and west."
"Others, I, I don't know."
"Um."
Gu Yun asked Xiao Tou to sit down and continued: "Xiao Tou is right, Hei Yi is a monster from that ancient country."
"About 500 years ago, something like this happened in the Ming Dynasty."
"The officials were attending the morning meeting at Fengtian Gate, and suddenly a terrifying black thing jumped out, scaring the ministers at the time and running around. Even the Emperor Ming Xianzong was so frightened that he was at a loss."
Gu Yun cast spells and used his spiritual power to outline simple line pictures, which were displayed in front of everyone like a puppet show: "And just when the emperor was about to run away, he was pinned down on the dragon throne by an eunuch.
This way, the royal dignity was barely preserved."
It can be seen from here that the demon named Hei Yi is definitely not an ordinary thing.
The strength is not yet known.
But it was actually able to run to the palace, even in front of a crowd of civil and military officials and the emperor.
This alone shows how great it is.
"In fact, something similar has already appeared as early as the Tang Dynasty."
Gu Yun said: "It's just that at that time, there was no such name as Hei Yi."
In the summer of 1120 AD, a terrifying black thing once appeared in Luoyang City.
It looks like a human from the outside, but this black shadow can come and go freely, and all weapons cannot harm this black thing at all.
Therefore, in order to prevent being hurt by black objects, people keep their doors and windows closed throughout the summer.
During the Xuanhe period (Northern Song Dynasty), this black thing began to creep into the house.
People chased it with sticks and found that the black thing had indeed escaped.
But when he looked back, his daughter was lying on the ground, apparently having died.
"It is precisely because such weird things happen one after another that people are very afraid of all these black and unknown things."
As Gu Yun told the story, the children, including the girl Momozono Nainai, began to worry, deeply afraid that they would encounter such a dangerous thing.
"But that was a long time ago."
Gu Yun said: "In modern times, because of people's fear of black things with unknown shapes that come and go like the wind, a new kind of strange story was born."
If it is true Heiyi.
Just imagine, in the three dynasties of Tang, Song, and Ming, there was no magician who could solve it.
One can imagine how terrifying the real Black Eye is.
Based on Gu Yun's understanding today, this thing may be an evil god rather than a simple demon.
"What we are talking about today will naturally not be the real Black Eye."
Gu Yun smiled and said: "The real Hei Yi is the demon god of the water element among the five elements. He is very, very dangerous."
If such a monster really appears, it is estimated that Gu Yun will have to take action personally to subdue it.
However, he didn't think that students would be so unlucky that they would encounter monsters of that level.
Gu Yun: Did I set a flag unknowingly?
"In the fourteenth year of Genroku (1701), Japan, a monster that looked like both a raccoon and a dog appeared in the mountains of Yoshino County, Nara Prefecture, Yamato."
"It moves like the wind and can scratch people's faces and bite their hands and feet."
"Because it always carries a black energy when it appears, Japanese magicians call it the 'Black Wind'."
There are two ways to describe the Black Wind. One is the trend of people being afraid of unknown and dangerous things in the dark, and the other is the unknown monster blowing a terrifying wind blade.
"The ability to hurt people as quickly as the wind is quite similar to Kamaitachi."
Gu Yun then talked about what to do when facing the wind of Hei Yi and the real Hei Yi.
The former is relatively simple, just like dealing with Kamamaitachi.
"As for the latter..."
Gu Yun looked at Xiao Tou in the crowd and asked him to answer.
"When you encounter Hei Yi, hold your head and squat on guard!"
Xiao Toru said seriously: "Then activate the guard given by Gu Yun Oni-chan and wait for rescue! Whatever happens during this period, you must first ensure your own safety!"
"Wait until Onii-chan arrives, then follow Onii-chan's instructions and act!"
"Pah, pah, pah..."
Gu Yun was very satisfied with Xiao Tou's answer: "Very good, very good!"
Be cowardly when you should be cowardly.
When the danger is over, go home immediately and start a righteous gang fight!
Gu Yun: The person who hit me still wants to run away, please wait for me after school!
"Oh oh oh."
"Xiao Tou really understands."
"As expected of Xiaotou, what you said is so good."
“…..”
Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was sitting below, looked at the recognition and support of all the boys and girls and began to doubt life: "Hey? Is this like this? Is this, this is the right thing to do?"
"Xiao Jing, then, if others are in danger..."
"By others, do you mean friends, family, etc.?"
Gu Yun said: "Then we can't be cowardly. Even if we risk our lives, we have to protect them. Otherwise, what's the point of learning magic?"
"Then, besides that, where are the others?"
“…..”
Gu Yun was silent for a while, then let out a 'tsk' sound.
dislike!
This look of disgust!!
"Xiao Jing, will you let me take risks because of an unrelated person?"
"Of course not!!"
As soon as these words came out, Jing Keai immediately understood.
"It seems that Xiaojing, you will also have to take some ideological courses in the future."
Because Shizuka Hiratsuka is similar to her in age, and unlike Nanaisheng, she often goes out to do business with Gu Yun.
Her understanding of Iijima style is really not deep enough.
"Xiao Kui."
Gu Yun said to Tsuba Mokui: "Come and explain to her the core purpose of our Iijima casual flow."
"Hi!"
"The core purpose of our Iijima style is to stick to the bottom line, and anything else can be careless!"
Just like Gu Yun, he will not take risks to protect unrelated people, nor will he harm his own people.
So when he educates students, he will tell them directly: 'As long as my moral bottom line is flexible enough, no one can use it to kidnap me!'
This is to protect them and let them do what they can.
Risking your own life to save your parents, partners, children, and extremely important close friends and relatives is called human nature, and it is something Iijima supports and advocates.
But other than that, it's really easy.
After all, Gu Yun's education is just education.
He does not feel that students must follow his ideas.
Everyone's personality is different, just like Xiaotou, he is kind-hearted by nature, a good person who does not force others, but only silently pays for himself.
Of course Gu Yun supports this!
If you can't bear it, you should naturally go and save him. This is your true intention.
And the world does need heroes.
Even though you are a hero, you always have to pay a price.
But if you are prepared and have the awareness to embark on this thorny road, Gu Yun will not stop you and will regard you as proud.
In the same way, if you don’t want to be kidnapped by other people’s morality.
Iijima-ryu also raised his hands in praise.
Yes, the moral bottom line of Iijima-ryu is so flexible.
Gu Yun: How can it be such an inconvenience to wander around my island at will?
"Learn magic, don't take the initiative to do evil, and then live a free and happy life without any regrets!"
This is what Snail created and is now inherited by Gu Yun.
“…..”
Regarding this, Hiratsuka Shizuka always felt that something was wrong.
But looking at the faces of the students around them who all agreed with each other, Jing Keai, who was originally a bit of a clay monkey and iron hanhan, suddenly realized: Oh, it turns out there is something wrong with me!
Then no problem!
"Next, is the practical class."
After eating the lunch prepared by Suzuran and the servants, Gu Yun led everyone to the specially built dojo at the Iijima residence.
This dojo is not used for swordsmanship and judo, but for experimenting with various spells and a special barrier reinforced by various spells.
Here, Gu Yun prepared many wooden dummies.
These wooden dummies are made of special materials and have many charms engraved on them. They can effectively resist various injuries and are used for students' spell practice.
Well, that being said, there are only a few who can actually cast spells.
The first is Xiaotou. Although he is only 3 years old, he has already mastered the most basic water spirit technique and can control water vapor.
Lu is also good, but his spiritual power does not have the affinity attribute, so Gu Yun asked him to use the divine control technique to borrow demon power from Qinglan.
Qinglan is one of the generals under Grandpa's command, a top-level peak demon, and a powerful being who controls everything.
Just like Hongye, with the help of divine control, Qinglan can briefly break through and touch the territory of the big monster, thereby causing the heavens and the earth to cry in mourning and controlling the law.
However, because Snail has passed away and Gu Yun did not inherit Qing Lan.
This makes Qinglan's current contract with Ritsu Iijima in a relatively ambiguous and hidden state.
How to say?
You may help or you may not.
From this point of view, it really fits the purpose of Iijima style.
"Ah! Come on, Xiao Taoya~~"
"Watch it, Mom!"
With the protection of an angel like Miss Nadeshiko, and the various magics taught by Gu Yun, Momoya has a promising future.
These three little ones are almost the future pillars of Iijima-ryu.
"So, it would be great if you were the one to succeed me, but you are this useless brat."
Because of Gu Yun's existence, Ritsu Iijima's father was not attacked by the demon, and Qinglan did not possess the dead Takahiro Iijima.
Grandpa originally planned to give everything he had to Gu Yun, including Qinglan, the strongest shikigami under his command.
However, Gu Yun's answer was still the same as before.
His current strength is strong enough. Qinglan's strength is not weak. He can fight Hongye one on one.
Both sides have trump cards and ultimate moves, and the probability of victory or defeat is 40 to 60.
Red leaves six, Qinglan four.
But with such strength, Gu Yun's current command cannot even rank among the top five.
Rather than letting Qing Lan become the second illusory person in Gu Yun's house, eating and drinking around, it would be better to stay with Ritsu Iijima, who has little guarantee of safety.
"Isn't that what you want to say?"
Gu Yun and Qing Lan are also very familiar with each other: "There are so many shikigami under Grandpa's command, but you are the only one who was given the last word spirit by him to protect Xiaolu until he is eighteen years old."
Obviously, Qinglan is very dissatisfied.
Since the snail did not let it serve Gu Yun, it should be set free instead of protecting a brat who is still young.
"A deal with a demon requires a price."
Qing Lan has no choice now. Before his death, his grandfather gave it a spirit using his real name.
If Ritsu Iijima had an accident before he turned 18, Qinglan might not be directly buried with him.
"You should know the risks I take!"
Qing Lan: "If this kid dies before he turns 18, I will be doomed."
"Yes, yes, I understand, I understand."
Gu Yun stood in the corridor, watching the children practicing spells. He said, "But Qinglan, you must have heard the saying that great power can deceive reason, right?"
“…..”
If Gu Yun hadn't appeared, Qinglan would have protected Lu until she was eighteen years old, and then devoured him.
It was cultivated by snails using spirit control techniques. If it can obtain the flesh and blood of Ritsu Iijima, Qinglan has a high probability of breaking through to the realm of great monster.
"You can't beat me."
Gu Yun said it very casually, Qing Lan curled her lips: Just say it, it would be pointless to show your fists.
"Qinglan, you know me."
They are friends, and Gu Yun will not do anything to them: "If you choose to be an enemy of Xiaolu, then I really have no choice."
Between his younger brother and his grandfather's shikigami, Gu Yun could only choose the former, and then sealed Qinglan.
"What's wrong with talking about the law?"
Gu Yun said: "When he grows older and masters the art of controlling gods to a deeper level, you may not have the chance to become a great monster."
"Tsk!"
Gu Yun can understand Qinglan's dissatisfaction.
In essence, the art of controlling gods is like a parent raising a child.
For Qinglan, the snail is its master, and obeying the snail is a matter of course.
Just like Gu Yun, if he has a child in the future, the shikigami under his command may not necessarily agree with such a brat.
He will definitely be taken care of.
After all, they must repay Gu Yun's kindness.
But if this little brat bosses them around, then I'm sorry.
Shikigami also have tempers, and maybe some of them will try their best to protect Gu Yun's bloodline, but some like Hongye and Higanbana will probably leave on the spot.
Qinglan belongs to the latter group. He is dissatisfied with Iijima Ryu and feels that his grandfather has arranged a bad job for him.
"Since you are anxious"
Gu Yun said: "You made a deal with grandpa, how about I make a deal with you too?"
"What?"
"Protect Xiaolu until he is 18," Gu Yun said: "If you still plan to leave then, then I will let you go free and help you become a big monster."
Gu Yun still loves his younger brothers and sisters very much.
Gu Yun has always been concerned about their safety.
Moreover, Gu Yun is now the head of the Iijima family, and he should be responsible for the training of the younger generations in the family.
"are you serious?"
"certainly."
Gu Yun smiled and said: "Others don't know, but you should know it very well, Qinglan. After all, when grandpa tested my spiritual power, you were the one protecting us."
In addition to his shikigami, Qinglan and grandpa are also insiders about Gu Yunman Lingge.
Grandpa will never reveal it, and Qinglan and the Shikigami will not reveal this secret under any circumstances because of their true words.
"you…"
Qing Lan didn't have the slightest bit of temper towards Gu Yun: "I know, it's only been ten years anyway."
"Um."
Gu Yun watched Qinglan dissipate into a line of smoke, and the students also invited him over at this time: "Here, if there is anything you don't understand, let me take a look."
"Boom!"
The dark sky is shrouded in clouds, and on the ruined wilderness battlefield, figures wearing ancient armor are divided into two camps, fighting each other.
This is a hidden world, a small space, but it is equivalent to the first level of the material world in Hokkaido, Japan.
"Ho~~"
The face demon with eyes all over its body joined the battlefield. The strength of the middle demon made it invincible in this remote and hidden world.
The battle between the two sides is like the ancient Japanese Ashigaru meeting the Hulk, with no single enemy able to defeat them.
The power of the hidden world is uneven.
For the more powerful ones, there are big monsters.
Weak, like a poor mountain village.
The monsters inside have completely degenerated and are almost the same as humans. In terms of level, they are all little monsters.
"war."
"Killing."
A black and white figure, like a figure stepping out of an ink painting, was standing on a cliff in the distance, looking at the war on this desolate plain.
Wearing an elegant and beautiful feather fabric and holding an umbrella, she looks like a crane flying out of a landscape painting.
Cold and arrogant, lonely, but with the unbearable and sorrowful look in her brows that only a mother can have.
"Whether it's a human or a monster, they are just the same thing after all."
However, these ashigaru are nothing more than chess pieces even if they are pushed to death. The real leaders behind the scenes are the superiors in the hidden world.
They fight for power and profit, inflict pain on innocent people, and enjoy the best things.
"Is this fate?"
But what does this have to do with her master Gu Yun?
"This is how life is, live foolishly, and then die unwillingly."
In fact, death is not the end in this world. Monsters are not monsters. They do not need to be purified and cursed after death. Their souls will be guided like humans to the Taoyuan Township on the other side of the underworld.
"well."
With another helpless sigh, Guhuoniao turned his attention away from the battlefield.
Among the shikigami under Gu Yun, Gu Huoniao is definitely one of the most kind and gentle. She rarely kills unless she encounters something that is intolerable to her.
For example, child abuse is one of the few absolute taboos in Guhuoniao.
It is precisely for this reason that Gu Yun decided to let Guhuoniao be responsible for supervising the follow-up issues of the face demon to prevent uncontrollable situations.
In the past few years, Guhuo Bird has successively rescued many innocent monsters from the hidden world.
These monsters will be brought to Gu Yun to see if they can elicit a reaction from the picture scroll.
The results have been mixed.
Four years ago, Gu Yun had a total of 10 shikigami, namely Hakuzo Lord, Three-tailed Fox, Hannya, Oni Momiji Momiji, Yingcao, Sode Shirayuki, Higanbana, as well as the Sakura Demon, Kappa and Kuho Bird who were planning to awaken.
.
And now, Gu Yun has awakened many more shikigami from the scroll.
Among them there are martial arts factions who are good at fighting, and there are also shikigami with other talents.
Also joining Gu Yun's command were the secluded residents who were rescued by Gu Huotiao, and the monsters who were gifted by Gu Yun as their power due to the damage to the shikigami information.
Among these people, Kong Huan, Yuyao, Xiao and Suzulan are the most powerful.
Gu Yun divided these monsters into different teams according to their functions, and distinguished them by "groups" just like in "The Sun of the Slippery Ghost".
There is a combat team specifically responsible for combat, as well as logistics, medical care, entertainment, and family guards, etc.
"Lord Xiao."
Xiao is Gu Huoniao's name to others, but Gu Yun prefers to call her Gu Gu, which is a nickname that belongs to him alone.
"What's up?"
Unlike Hong Ye, who cannot control his own sp, Gu Huo Bird can perfectly control the night-time mode and permanently maintain the sp night-time Gu Huo Bird posture.
In this state, Guhuotiao's strength has already entered the realm of a great monster who understands his own laws.
【Waiting for the night girl to catch a bird】
Race: Heavenly Emperor Girl, Feathered God Clan
Spirituality: 60 (SP mode can improve spirituality)
Spiritual power: big monster
Talents: Master of Swordsmanship, Mo Ran Yin Yang, Ciwu Fuyou, Jinluan Shengyu, Heaven and Earth Cry·Long Mian Xiaojin, Law Order·Lao Ye
Auntie is very strong. If she fights Hongye at her peak, there may not be much difference in the demon power between the two parties.
But in terms of combat talent, there is an insurmountable gap.
To put it bluntly, Hongye is an idiot who can only unleash demonic powers and abilities, while her aunt is a swordsman.
She can knock Hongye down and even kill him easily.
If you divide the big monsters into different levels, those like Momiji and Hannya belong to newcomers who have just stepped into the threshold.
Gugu and Yuyao, on the other hand, have already integrated their powers and truly established a firm foothold in the realm of great monsters.
Above that, there is Higanbana, a being at the peak of the great monster realm.
"Someone is looking for you."
The monster standing behind my aunt at this time is named Heimei. She is a monster transformed into a crane. She was rescued by her aunt three years ago, so she follows her.
He Ji admires her aunt very much and regards her as her idol in life.
"Looking for me?"
The aunt looked at He Ji in confusion: "Are you a customer? Something's wrong with the noodle demon?"
"No, it's a group of ghosts. They claim to be from Kyoto and belong to the Thousand Ghost Night Walk."
"."
The ghost here is not that kind of ghost, but a monster with horns.
In terms of race alone, Hannya and Zashiki Warashi actually have ghost blood.
"Bring them here."
No matter what the other party's purpose is, now that she has been found, the aunt is indeed obliged to meet them.
Of course, if it is an important matter, my aunt will not be good at making opinions. Instead, she will pass the news to Gu Yun as soon as possible and ask what he means.
