Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

As a sorcerer, one would certainly keep one's unique skills to oneself very well.

However, Kotaki Goshiro trusted his grandfather and entrusted him with the art of spiritual vision. His grandfather, who also doted on Gu Yun, directly passed on the two forbidden techniques.

As for Natsume Reiko, she knew how terrifying the essence of the Book of Friends, the 'Ritsuryōjutsu', was, and therefore protected it very well.

But if the other party is Gu Yun, Lingzi is willing to believe him.

“I can understand why Reiko would do this.”

Grandpa looked at Tsubagi Shiro and asked, puzzled, "But Shiro, I remember you were planning to completely destroy the Fighting God Technique, weren't you?"

"Isn't this a case of encountering a talented young person?"

"Eh~~~"

The three looked at Tsubagi Shiro with suspicion.

They didn't doubt the other's abilities, but their character was certainly questionable.

Of course, Tsubaki Shiro is definitely a good person, the kind with a kind heart. He would never do anything to harm Tanigumo.

"Oh I got it!"

Kotaki Goshiro seemed to understand something, and he whispered a few words to Reiko and his grandfather.

The next moment, the three of them looked at Gu Yun in unison, revealing a strange and wicked smile.

"That's right."

"It seems quite interesting."

"Yeah, right."

Seeing that his old friends understood his thoughts, Tsubagi Shiro immediately said, "As expected, the future will be handed over to the young. It's time for us old guys to retire gracefully."

“Arno,” Reiko raised her hand, “I’m already dead.”

Goshiro Kotaki: "Dead +1".

Grandpa: "I'll come and join you in two years at most."

"You three bastards!!"

Shiro Tsubagi gritted his teeth in anger: When will I be able to stand up again, when I still have seventeen or eighteen years left to live!

"Well..."

Gu Yun's lips twitched slightly: "You seniors don't want me to fight Higa Kotoko, do you?"

"Hey~~"

Seeing the four people's disrespectful behavior towards their elders, Gu Yun's fist hardened.

"Gu Yun, don't you want to learn?"

Grandpa's words really hit Gu Yun's weak spot.

He wants to learn.

Gu Yun's greatest hobby these days is learning all sorts of magic spells.

Faced with secret techniques like the Law of Commands and the God of War Technique, which were about to become extinct, Gu Yun simply couldn't find a reason to refuse.

"Then it's such a happy decision."

Shiro Tsubaki truly lives up to his reputation as a scumbag; he can trick his juniors without even flinching.

There will be another update tonight, please be patient.

Chapter 66 Lingzi, you scumbag woman

"Where are we going now?"

Gu Yun followed the four people away from Jia Long's residence in Huang Quan. The latter took the lead and stepped out of the empty cliff.

"Gala La La~~"

Before Gu Yun could speak, wooden planks appeared out of thin air where there had been a sheer cliff, instantly transforming into a pier that stretched into the distance.

"We are now in the peaceful zone of the underworld. If we cause trouble here, we will only cause trouble for the Grim Reapers."

Kotaki Goshiro was exceptionally familiar with the underworld: "Reiko's magic is quite powerful; we need to find an open space."

"Where should we go?"

Shiro Tsubagi crossed his arms; he didn't know much about Yomi.

"How about going to the Sanzu River? The spider lilies there are incredibly beautiful."

Lingzi took Gu Yun's hand and led her to follow the three of them.

The Sanzu River, also known as the Head-Burial River, the Crossing River, the Sanzu River, or the Sanzu River, is the legendary dividing line between life and death.

Because the water flow is divided into three types—slow, normal, and rapid—based on the deceased's behavior in life, it is called the 'Three Paths'.

"Sanzu River?"

Gu Yun asked, "Isn't this the River of Three Crossings?"

"of course not!"

Reiko said, "There are three great rivers in the entire Yellow Springs: the Paradise of the Other Shore, the River of Three Crossings, and the River of Hell."

The Peach Blossom Spring is where Gu Yun and others are located, and it is also the first stop for the souls of the living after they come to the Yellow Springs world.

Most people who have not committed sins can live peacefully in this place and recuperate their tired bodies and minds.

"The Yellow Springs are divided into three waters and four streams."

"The blue sea of ​​paradise, the blood red of the three paths, and the pitch black of hell."

Reiko continued, "When those on the other side let go of the past, they will cross the bloody three paths and truly enter the realm of death."

“Besides that, there are also those who committed many evil deeds in their lives,” Reiko said. “They are not qualified to go to Peach Blossom Spring, but instead go directly to the world of the dead through the Sanzu River.”

After crossing the Sanzu River, these spirits will come before the gods of the underworld to be judged.

The innocent enter the cycle of reincarnation and then board the train to the next life to begin their final journey.

As for the wicked, they will continue downstream, crossing the black waters to reach hell, where they will suffer various torments to cleanse their souls of resentment and karma.

"Wow, it's so red!"

The boardwalk beneath Gu Yun's feet began to transform into downward steps.

Standing on high ground and looking down, he could indeed see a terrifying world shrouded in dark clouds.

When Gu Yun stepped onto solid ground again, all he saw was a sea of ​​blood, making it hard to tell whether it was the vibrant color of the spider lilies or the crimson of the Three Crossings Water.

The banks of the Sanzu River are vast, where countless spirits of the dead await.

Then they boarded the ferryman's small boat and disappeared one after another at the end of the river.

The people on both sides are so different.

Gu Yun noticed that the people who came from Taoyuan were clean-cut and full of energy.

In contrast, the other soul was dressed in rags, and its face was as pale as a vengeful ghost.

"Can't they turn back?"

Gu Yun was a little curious, so he pointed to the paradise behind him and asked.

"The guilty cannot set foot in the land of paradise."

Reiko said, "It seems like there's no obstacle between the Sanzu River and Peach Blossom Spring, but actually they're separated by an invisible barrier."

Only those souls free from curses and resentment can be reborn in the underworld.

"It seems there are still more good people than bad."

Gu Yun glanced around and saw that the number of people from Taoyuan was dozens of times that of the vengeful spirits.

"Because there isn't that much resentment and sin."

Whether something is guilty or not is not a standard set by humans, and it has no absolute relation to universal notions of good and evil.

Furthermore, while resentful spirits linger in the human world, only a very small fraction actually make it to the afterlife.

Although the punishments in hell are severe, as long as you wash away your resentment, you can be reincarnated.

"Judging souls is the work of the spirits of the underworld, and has nothing to do with us."

"Let's go somewhere farther away."

Kotaki Goshiro did not recommend that the group get too close to the vengeful spirits. He led them away from the ghosts crossing the river and found a secluded and quiet flower field.

"Ok?"

Just as Gu Yun stepped into the sea of ​​red spider lilies, a golden light burst forth from the scroll.

[Obtained clues about the new shikigami 'Higanbana']

【Red Spider Lily】

Awakening Quest: Please spend 1 hour (currently 15 seconds) in the sea of ​​spider lilies on the banks of the Sanzu River.

"SSR!"

Gu Yun looked at the task requirements for awakening the spider lilies on the scroll. The difficulty was very low. It only required him to stay in the spider lily sea on the banks of the Sanzu River for 1 hour.

The red spider lily has no negative effects; it's simply a flower that blooms along the banks of the Sanzu River.

So this task is very easy; it's the kind that can be completed with ease.

"Am I finally going to get an SSR?!"

Gu Yun inwardly cheered: "I'm finally escaping poverty and entering Europe today!!"

Fortunately, Xiaobai wasn't there, otherwise, upon hearing Gu Yun's words, she would probably be crying in the bathroom.

Xiao Bai: I'm an SSR too! I was here first!

"what happened?"

Lingzi noticed the joy on Gu Yun's face, and Gu Yun quickly said, "I thought of something happy."
