Chapter 373
"It's really sad..." Just like Ji Guoyuan said.
sorrow?It's sad again! ?Hearing the man leaving with his brother's body in front of him say the same words as his brother, Ji Guoyansheng, who turned into a ghost, had a grim face and trembled violently.
But he found that he couldn't move, why?Fear! ?Yes, it was fear. He didn't know if it was because of the fear in his heart or the fear of the blood in his body. He didn't dare to make a move on the man in front of him and could only watch him leave.
Damn, hate, hate!Ji Guoyan was furious in his heart, but he couldn't even utter an angry roar. He had already vowed to become stronger, he wanted to win!He has to become strong enough to be able to win forever, otherwise why would he choose to become this ugly! ?
But now?One monster after another was crushing on his head!Ji Guoyansheng had no idea where he lost.
"Crack-"
There was the sound of something breaking in the dark mansion.
The mansion is owned by a man who appears to be between 25 and 29 years old.
But this man has a pair of red plum-colored eyes, the pupils are straight and slender like a cat, his face is bloodless, and he looks like a vampire.
If he behaved more dignifiedly, he might have the feeling of 'vampire nobleman'.
But now his face was hideous, even the wine glass in his hand was crushed, scarlet blood dripped down his arms and onto the floor.
These are not his blood, but the liquid in the wine glass.
That's right, the wine glass is not filled with wine but human blood. Of course, he is not a vampire, but the 'king of ghosts' Onimai Tsuji.
Just now, he sensed the news from one of his strongest ghosts, 'Hei Si Mou', that Ji Guo Yuan had died.
This should be something to be happy about, he has been hiding for more than 60 years, and he can finally stop being sneaky!But when he checked the memory of Hei Si Mou in order to confirm the authenticity of the information, he felt a sudden cardiac arrest.
He saw the man who once terrified him, and not one, but two together!
One is called Ji Guoyuanyi, and the other...he doesn't know the name, but that rusty sword is unmistakable!He will not forget the sword.After he became a ghost, only two swords had cut himself, one was the red blade in Ji Guoyuan's hand, and the other was the rusty sword in this man's hand!
Ji Guoyuanyi is indeed dead, but what is the matter with the other man! ?Why does he look so young just like himself! ?Could it be that he is also a ghost! ?
No no no, impossible!As the king of ghosts, Mumai Tsuji is sure that this man cannot be a ghost.
Did this man take the full pill?Do not!The doctor has been killed by me, how can there be a creature more perfect than me in this world?Unwilling to believe such a fact.
If this is the case, there is only one possibility left, yes, this must be the descendant of that man!
Gui Wu Tsuji Wu Mi can only comfort himself in this way, because the last time he met that man was more than 60 years ago!
How can human beings still look like that after more than 60 years?Moreover, that man disappeared inexplicably 50 years ago. He always thought that the other party was dead. The only thing that could threaten him in this world is Ji Guoyuan Yi. As long as Ji Guo Yuan Yi dies, he will be invincible!
But now after hiding for so many years, Ji Guoyuanyi finally survived. He just saw hope, and another freak appeared!He could only think that this was the first time in the descendants left by that man that someone who could threaten him appeared again after more than 60 years.
"No! You have to kill him, find a way to kill him, and his descendants, we must kill the grass!"
Oni Wu Tsuji had a ferocious face, and his eyes were full of hatred and anger.
But even though he said so, how can he kill that man?Even Hei Si Mou was so vulnerable in front of him...
"Damn it..."
Oni Wu Tsuji Wucan grabbed his hair with both hands, sharp nails embedded in the skin to catch blood.
It is impossible for him to take the risk himself, it is too dangerous, the original fear is still unforgettable until now, even if this person is really only the descendant of that person, the strength he has shown is enough to threaten him, and he cannot take risks .
Could it be that he can only survive until this man dies of old age?
"Forget it..."
Guiwu Tsuji Wucan's face was gloomy, "Come here!"
"Yes! My lord."
A pitch-black figure came out of the shadows and knelt respectfully in front of Guiwu Tsuji Wumi. This figure lowered its head, as if it didn't dare to look up at the man in front of it.
"Let those idiots give me peace of mind recently. If you find a man with a rusty sword hanging from his waist, report to me immediately, understand?"
"Yes, my lord."
That figure slowly merged into the darkness, and there seemed to be something engraved in the flashing hideous eyes.
……
Just when Gui Wu Tsuji had a headache, Xuan Hao was preparing to bury Ji Guo Yuanyi.
By looking at the memories of Ji Guoyuan's life, he learned that this man had been expelled from the Ghost Slayer Squad.Because he let go of the ghost king by mistake, and let go of another female ghost, and his brother also betrayed humans and became a ghost.Such 'sinners' cannot stay in the Ghost Killing Squad.
"I really... don't know how to describe this man."
The more Xuan Hao knew about this man's past, the more Xuan Hao felt that this man was really kind. He obviously did nothing wrong, but he endured everything alone, and he didn't hold any grudges against anyone. Continue to kill ghosts.Even after leaving the Ghost Killing Squad, this man is still fighting to protect others all his life.
Maybe it's because he knows that there are many kind people in this world who need his protection?
For example, the protagonist who is only 6 years old but more reasonable than all the pillars of the Ghost Slaying Squad, such as his family members who stayed in the Ghost Slaying Squad.
The people of the Ubuyashiki clan keep their promises. Since Ji Kuni left the ghost slaying team, his family who stayed in the ghost slaying team has a good life. Every head of the Ubuyashiki family remembers the promise made by his elders to Ji Kuni .
Following Ji Guoyuan's memory, Xuan Hao came to a place full of wisteria trees.
This is the place where an anonymous descendant of Ji Guoyuan lives. Wisteria is the flower that ghosts hate the most, because it is poisonous to ghosts, so this place is as peaceful as a paradise, and few ghosts are willing to come here.
But Ji Guoyuan seems to have not been here for a long time.
Perhaps because he knew that he would be hated by Onimai Tsuji, he asked his descendants to change their surnames after his wife died, did not teach them how to breathe, and had little contact with them after that.
It seems to feel the withering of life, the breeze blows, and the petals of the wisteria tree begin to fall all over the sky.
The petals fell on the old man in Xuan Hao's arms. Under the sunlight, the old man seemed to be just asleep.
When Xuan Hao walked into the courtyard with Ji Guoyuanyi's remains in his arms, the young man who was farming in the courtyard jumped and hurried back to the back room to call for help.
With the support of the young man, an old woman over sixty came out of the house.
Xuan Hao knew that this was Ji Guo Yuanyi's daughter, but his impression of this old woman was only at the infant stage... Speaking of it, it seemed that this was the life he witnessed the birth with his own eyes.
"Time is merciless."
He sighed slightly, and put Ji Guo Yuanyi's remains in front of the old woman.
The old woman's body trembled slightly, and tears gushed out of her eyes uncontrollably.
She hadn't seen her father for a long time, and she didn't expect that she would look like this when she met again.
"Excuse me... who are you?" She looked at the person who brought her father's remains home with some doubts.I always feel like I have seen this person before, but I can't remember it no matter how I recall it.
"I'm a member of the Ghost Killing Squad. The 'lord' said that Mr. Yuanyi should want to go home, so he sent me to send him back."
Xuanhao didn't reveal his real identity, because he knew that the reason why Ji Guoyuan let his descendants hide their names and didn't even learn how to breathe and just be ordinary people, maybe he didn't want them to be involved in disputes, so it's better not to talk to them. It's better to get involved with yourself.
"Mr. Yuanyi is a great person. He is the pride of the Ghost Killing Squad. No, it should be the pride of mankind."
"thanks, thanks……"
The old woman and her descendants bowed to thank Xuan Hao.
They didn't have any doubts about what Xuan Hao said, because the people of the Ubuyashiki clan had been paying attention to the life of their family, and would send people to give them something from time to time.
Xuan Hao shook his head slightly, and left here after saying goodbye.
"Ghost Squad?"
Speaking of the ghost killing team and ghosts, Xuan Hao suddenly remembered something important.
Following the "King of Ghosts" mentioned by Guoyuan, Ghost Dance Tsuji has no misery.
He seems to have... seen it!
"Ah... really careless."
Xuan Hao scratched his head.
After reading Ji Guoyuanyi's memories, he realized that the ghost he met in the forest that night was the so-called 'ghost king', and he regretted why he didn't kill it.
But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he might not be able to kill that kind of guy, but the other party could explode into more than 800 fragments and escape.If you can't stop it from exploding, it seems troublesome to catch it to bask in the sun, and some debris will be missed if you don't pay attention.
And according to Ji Guoyuanyi's memory breathing method and the Japanese sword are not the weakness of Onimai Tsuji, the only ones that can really cause effective damage to it are the "He Dao" and the "Breathing of the Sun".
He can do 'Breath of the Sun', but he is really unskilled, and what is 'He Dao'?He didn't know how to use it at all, and the description of this skill in Ji Guoyuan's memory was also very vague. He just said that it made the blade turn red, but did it just turn red when it was rubbed under high temperature?
"Forget it, never mind... Anyway, that guy is so weak, let's talk about it when we meet..."
Xuan Hao felt that it might not be so easy for him to meet this coward again.
This guy seems to have been huddled and never came out after he and Ji Guoyuan were chopped off. It seems that he wants to kill him and Ji Guoyuan?Thinking of this, please forgive Xuan Hao for laughing unkindly, there is no way, this is the first time he knows that someone wants to boil him to death.
After walking out of the wisteria forest, Xuan Hao planned to visit the Ghost Killing Squad.
He remembered what Ji Guoyuanyi said to him last, let himself take a good look at the world.
I don't know why, now his heart is abnormally calm, without the sense of time-pressed anxiety before, he plans to try to walk the road that Ji Guoyuan has walked, walking slowly like Ji Guoyuan, maybe It's really like what this man said, when the time comes, you will always meet the person you want to see in the end.
……
"A ghost appeared in Sagiri Mountain! Repeat, a ghost appeared in Sagiri Mountain!"
"Please rush to support the nearby swordsmen above level 'C'!"
"Swordsmen above level 'C' rushed to support quickly!"
The crows chattered in the sky.
Woke up the man who was sleeping against the tree.
"'C' level?" Xuan Hao yawned, "It doesn't look like a very strong ghost..."
The swordsmen in the ghost killing team have a clear division of ranks, from low to high, there are ten levels of 'guirenxingengjiwudingbingyijia', and there are stronger 'pillar' level swordsmen above these.
Every swordsman in the Demon Slayer Squad is as precious as his own child in the eyes of the head of the Ubuyashiki, so he will not give orders indiscriminately. Since the swordsmen of the 'C' level and above are ordered to support, then it means that Sagiri Mountain Some swordsmen may have been killed, and swordsmen above this level must be supported, and swordsmen who have not reached this level will also die.
Ghosts, which require a swordsman above level 'C' to deal with, or many other swordsmen are already very strong, but for Xuanhao, there is no difference... because the ghost king is the same in front of him.
The only thing that caused him a headache was that he couldn't find the ghost king's whereabouts. If he could find it, it would be faster to solve the problem directly from the root cause.
Guiwu Tsuji Wumi seemed to be more timid than he imagined, and he didn't dare to show his face at all.
"Oh, that's all, it's nearby anyway, so let's go and have a look."
Xuan Hao got up and jumped down from the tree.
It has been a while since he joined the Ghost Killing Squad. During this period, he has been killing ghosts while looking for the whereabouts of his sister. Although he still has no clue, he is not so anxious now, because there is no use in worrying.
He also completely figured it out. Since he couldn't find her and was worried about his sister's safety, he might as well kill more ghosts to make the world safer. There seemed to be nothing wrong with this idea.
During the period of joining the Demon Slayer Squad, he had to admire the leadership of the Ubuyashiki clan, which is simply a conscientious enterprise. None of the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Squad had any objections, and even he couldn't fault it.
Regardless of whether the combat power is strong or weak, you can find a suitable position in the ghost killing team. Even a swordsman who is injured and loses the ability to hunt ghosts can retreat to the second line to do logistics work.
By the way, the promotion system of the ghost killing team is also very fair, it is just the 'performance' of killing ghosts, the higher the level of ghosts who are capable of killing stronger ghosts.
Even Xuan Hao, a 'nobody', has been promoted to the 'A' level smoothly and quickly after joining the Ghost Killing Team.
This is already the highest level that ordinary swordsmen of the ghost killing team can reach. It's not that he doesn't want to continue to be promoted, but that he can't find a stronger 'ghost' to kill...
If you want to advance to the "Pillar" level, you must kill the "Twelve Ghost Moons" under Oniwu Tsuji Mucan.
The problem is... Currently, among the twelve ghost moons known by the Ghost Killing Team, only one of the top strings is 'Hei Si Mou', who is the elder brother of Ji Guo Yuan Yi that Xuan Hao once met.The rest of the positions have never appeared, and this one of the top strings doesn't seem to go out in front of human beings often, and it seems that he only wants to retreat to become stronger.
Others who often jump in front of the ghost killing team are only the ghosts who often change people, and there are only six of them in total. Under normal circumstances, the "lord" will not send swordsmen below the "pillar" level to crusade, unless they are too busy Come.
But this kind of overwhelmed situation doesn't hold true at all.Because there are nine swordsmen above the 'pillar' level.Nine hits six!It's not enough, there is no room for Xuan Hao to intervene, unless he is lucky and happens to meet, otherwise it is a normal phenomenon to be k-headed.
But this doesn't matter to Xuanhao at all, it should be said that he doesn't care about being a "pillar" at all, and he joins the ghost killing team just to find ghosts more conveniently.
Because the Ubuyashiki clan's industries spread all over the country, the information network of the Demon Slayer Squad is extremely wide. Wherever ghosts appear, they will immediately send out '鎹雅' to notify nearby swordsmen.
Just like now.
Xuan Hao hurried forward in the dark woods, heading towards the mountains shrouded in thick fog in the distance.
Sagiri Mountain got its name because it is shrouded in dense fog all year round.
The air on the mountain is extremely thin, which is not suitable for human survival, so it has become a refuge for ghosts. Ghosts hunted by swordsmen often flee here, because places with thin air have a great impact on the use of breathing methods. Ghost hunters who are not strong enough chase ghosts here by mistake, and they are likely to be killed back.
But because of this, there are often powerful swordsmen stationed nearby, waiting for support at any time.
Maybe it won't be long before the ghosts will know that this place is actually not safe, so they won't go here again.
"Quack-quack-quack-"
Hearing the crows hovering above his head began to call again, Xuan Hao, who had just arrived at the foot of the mountain and was about to rush up the mountain, covered his face and slowed down.
"Just now, the ghosts have been attacked by Yanzhu!"
"Grass (a plant)—"
He was k-headed again.
"Hahahaha-"
There was a sound of laughter.
A blond man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked down the mountain. His long blond hair had a flame-like color at the end, and even the feathers he was wearing were tattooed with flames.
He held a sun wheel knife with a flaming knife in his hand, always smiling on his face, and his whole person was as enthusiastic as a flame.
This person is the current Yanzhu of the Demon Slayer Squad - Purgatory Shinichiro.
"You're late again, Xuanhao." Purgatory Shinichiro greeted Xuanhao enthusiastically.
And Xuan Hao was speechless.
"What do you mean I'm late again, I really doubt that you live on this mountain..."
He knew how fast he was. It was impossible for any member of the Ghost Killing Squad nearby to be faster than him, not even this Yanzhu, unless this guy was guarding at the foot of the mountain in the first place.
"Hahaha! Don't doubt it, I am! There is no way, this is a dangerous area, and it is also within my jurisdiction." Purgatory Shinichiro touched his head in embarrassment, "In order to ensure the safety of the team members, I think it is the best place to stay here." suitable."
"Right……"
Xuan Hao glanced at the swordsmen of the Ghost Slayer Squad following Yan Zhu.
The swordsman's right arm seems to have disappeared, and he probably asked for reinforcements on Mount Sagiri.
Not long after, members of the Ghost Killing Squad's logistics team 'Hidden' rushed over, temporarily bandaged the swordsman's wound, tied him on a stretcher and carried him away.
And Xuan Hao and Purgatory Shinichiro came to a small wooden house at the foot of Sagiri Mountain and sat down.
Only then did Xuan Hao know that this guy really lived here.
Along the way, the enthusiastic purgatory Shinichiro told Xuanhao that since Sagiri Mountain was listed as a high-risk area, he volunteered to build a log cabin here without the master's order, and vowed to kill those evil spirits from going here run……
Xuan Hao could only be speechless about this.
Originally, he didn't know why the ghosts everywhere have become more honest recently, but now it seems that they were probably scared by these enthusiastic swordsmen of the ghost killing team.
Anyway, Xuan Hao never thought that it was because of his own reasons. His sudden appearance made Guiwu Tsuji Wumi's actions more cautious, and even ordered the ghosts under him to act with the same caution.
"Come on! I have nothing to entertain you here, only wine."
Purgatory Shinichiro took out two jars of wine, stuffed one jar into Xuan Hao's hand, and then directly lifted the other jar in his hand to drink over his head.
"Ha - cool!" Purgatory Shinichiro looked at Xuanhao, "You haven't changed at all!"
Maybe it's because he's over middle age, Purgatory Shinichiro will always care about the swordsmen who join the team later like an old father.Just like he is guarding here now to prevent more people from being killed by ghosts here.
Xuan Hao is not disgusted with such a person but just a little helpless, after all he doesn't need special care.
Xuan Hao also took a sip, and looked at the bold middle-aged man in front of him a little speechlessly, while Purgatory Shinichiro had already entered the 'nostalgia' mode, and after a few sips of wine, he began to chatter, "Haven't you changed? Only a few years."
"Yeah, it's been a few years since I saw you!"
Purgatory Shinichiro seemed very happy to see the boy in front of him again, and seemed to miss the scene when the two met.
The swordsmen of the Ghost Killing Squad travel around all year round, wandering on the verge of life and death all the time. People like this who haven't seen each other for several years may never be seen again.
Speaking of which, Purgatory Shinichiro felt that he could be regarded as the "teacher" of the young man in front of him. He still remembers the time when he met this young man in the "final selection".
It was a figure standing in the dawn, making people seem to see hope.
……
Every swordsman who wants to join the Ghost Killing Team must first pass the 'final selection' assessment.
The final selection was held at a place called 'Vine Raiding Mountain', which is a mountain full of wisteria flowers all year round. Wisteria flowers bloom all over the mountains and plains no matter what season. The wisteria trees here are like the wrath of gods against ghosts. Even if it is not the flowering season, it is still in full bloom.
The Pillars of the Ghost Killing Team trap weak ghosts in the mountains to select swordsmen with potential.
The swordsmen participating in the selection need to survive in the mountains for seven days.
Xuan Hao received the attention of Purgatory Shinichiro because he performed too well when he participated in the 'Final Selection'.
Of course, it wasn't because Xuan Hao performed well and killed many ghosts, but because this guy didn't use either the breathing method or the sun wheel knife when killing ghosts.
The entire ghost killing team probably remembered this man after this 'final selection'.
Because when Xuan Hao kills ghosts, he always holds the opponent's neck and stands in an open place waiting for dawn, his appearance looks like a god.
But this method is also very dangerous!Purgatory Shinichiro has always thought so.
It was precisely because of this that he paid special attention to this 'swordsman' who killed ghosts with his bare hands.
He clearly wears a sun wheel sword on his waist, but it seems that he never uses it. The knife is rusted and is not maintained. He thinks it must be the sun wheel knife of a certain swordsman he picked up somewhere?After all, swordsmen often die outside, and it is normal for someone to pick up a knife.
He doesn't know what this young man has experienced, but presumably everyone who chooses to join the Ghost Killing Squad has their own reasons.
People who want to join the Ghost Killing Team include not only those who have been trained by the trainers of the Ghost Killing Team, but also "savages" like Xuan Hao who come to them by themselves. The difference between them is whether they know how to breathe.But they may all have something in common, that is, they may all have a painful past that they don't want to be mentioned.
At that time, Purgatory Shinichiro mistakenly thought that Xuanhao could not breathe, so he never used it in the "final selection".
Although there are usually very few participants who don't know how to breathe, Xuan Hao passed the test without using breathing!
No matter who you are, you will think that such a person is probably a genius!
Purgatory Shinichiro also thinks so.
But geniuses belong to geniuses, such a way of killing ghosts is definitely not acceptable!It must be corrected!So in order to correct Xuanhao's wrong "posture", he specially asked the lord to be the "teacher" to teach the breathing method, and to teach Xuanhao the breathing method for a period of time.
It’s okay to kill ghosts in the correct way before joining, but after joining, you must have a ‘remedial lesson’!This is the basis for the ghost killing team to transform from being suppressed by ghosts to being able to suppress ghosts in recent decades, and it is also for this young man to live better!
But after only a few days of teaching, Purgatory Shinichiro became autistic.
Because Xuan Hao has completely mastered his breath of flame in just a few days, and his proficiency has reached the level where he can directly become a teacher. He is like a genius, oh no, a genius!
This is something to be happy about, autistic is autistic, but Purgatory Shinichiro is not jealous of his 'students'.He just thought that Xuan Hao, who had learned how to breathe, would be able to survive better.
But... What made him even more autistic was that this young man had already learned the breath of flames, but he still didn't use it!
He still remembers the first time he took this young man on a ghost hunting mission, the young man still used the most primitive method, pinching the ghost's neck and waiting for dawn.
This bad habit doesn't seem to change at all.
Purgatory Shinichiro was very happy to have such a genius in the Demon Slayer Squad, but he was also very worried, worried that this young man who didn't listen to persuasion would die outside because of carelessness.
Because this way of killing ghosts is too dangerous, if you keep in touch with ghosts at such a close distance, you may be killed by ghosts if you don't pay attention. To be honest, it is the first time he has seen someone kill ghosts in such a barbaric way, but it seems It also proved from the side that this young man is very powerful.
Perhaps stronger than him as a 'teacher'!But as a "teacher", Shinichiro Purgatory will always worry about students.
Until now, seeing Xuan Hao appearing in front of him safe and sound, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Purgatory Shinichiro laughed and drank all the wine in the altar.
"Are you still killing ghosts in that way?"
"Yes." Xuan Hao answered naturally.
This is all the experience and lessons he summed up. It is more reliable to use sunlight directly to kill ghosts. What if one day these ghosts are cut off by the Japanese knives like Kibu Tsuji without dying?
Looking back now, thinking about not being able to kill that guy really made me more angry. Now that guy is hiding in a place where he can't find it, he has no choice but to practice his hands with these little devils first.
"Hey..." Purgatory Shinichiro sighed when he saw Xuanhao's expressionless face, "Forget it, I won't talk about you anymore, just pay attention to safety, it's best to cut off your hands and feet first, understand?"
Look, is this a human language?The corner of Xuan Hao's mouth twitched, feeling that he was really kind, he just put his arms around his neck to invite those poor people who have not seen the sun to bask in the sun, it's not good to use knives and guns.
"Also!" Purgatory Shinichiro seemed to suddenly remember something, and his expression became a little serious.
"Your current qualifications are enough to be promoted to 'Pillar', the only thing left is to kill 'Twelve Ghost Moons' to prove it, I have to remind you, don't be as careless as you are now when facing these guys, you The knife... Let's take it and maintain it, so as not to lose the chain at a critical moment!"
Purgatory Shinichiro said, pointing helplessly at the rusty sword on Xuanhao's waist, "It's just that those swordsmiths saw you treat them like this, and maybe they would chase you and cut down a few streets before giving you maintenance. ..."
"Forehead……"
Forget it, Xuan Hao was stunned for a moment, he didn't want to be chased and hacked, usually he was chased and hacked by others.
Moreover, the Sun Wheel Knife really has a great effect on his immortality, the reason why he has been carrying it is because it is also a gift from a friend.As for maintenance... just wipe it clean at ordinary times, and I won't use it to kill people anyway.
Compared with cutting people, he prefers to stab people with a gun, or directly.
Maybe go to the village of swordsmiths and find those swordsmiths to forge him a spear?Xuan Hao hesitated after thinking about it, because it is said that going to the village of swordsmiths is particularly troublesome.
Sun wheel knives are the foundation of ghost hunting teams, and the swordsmiths who make these knives are naturally very important.
In order to protect these swordsmiths, the location of the village of swordsmiths must be kept secret. Even the 'pillars' of the ghost killing team don't know where it is, and Xuan Hao naturally doesn't know where it is.
wait!Xuan Hao seemed to have thought of something important. In this way, he has never been to the village of swordsmiths!In the past few years, he has searched the whole country and still can't find any clues about his sister. Maybe there are some clues there?
Thinking of this, Xuan Hao immediately asked Purgatory Shinichiro in front of him, "How do I get to the village of swordsmiths?"
"What? You figured it out!?" Purgatory Shinichiro looked happy, thinking that Xuan Hao had finally figured out how to use the sun wheel knife to kill ghosts.
"No... I want to ask the knifesmith there to make a suitable weapon for me."
Xuan Hao did not tell Purgatory Shinichiro his main purpose.
"Build weapons?"
"Yes, I'm not used to using knives, so I want to ask them to order another weapon for me."
"So that's the case, you should have said it earlier!"
Purgatory Shinichiro suddenly realized that this guy had been fighting ghosts with his bare hands because he was not used to using knives. "It's simple, what kind of weapon do you want? Actually, you don't have to go to the swordsmith's village in person, just tell the crow what you want. They'll pass your needs on to the Bladesmith's Village."
"Uh... I think I should go there in person, after all, it's the first time I've asked them to make weapons." The corners of Xuan Hao's mouth twitched, what are you kidding, if I don't go, I'm still making wool?
"That's right." Purgatory Shinichiro thought for a while, and felt that Xuanhao's words made sense, "It's good to go there yourself, you will be promoted to Zhu sooner or later, if the weapon you want is very special, you really should Go and find out if there is an exclusive knife maker that suits you."
"So in the end how to go..."
"I don't know, hahahaha... hiccup..." Purgatory Shinichiro laughed, perhaps because he drank a little too much and became delirious.
"Damn!" Xuan Hao almost lifted the table.
"Don't worry, don't worry!" Purgatory Shinichiro slapped the wine jar with a smile, "No one in the Demon Killing Squad can know the location of the swordsmith's village alone. If you want to go, you have to contact the members of the 'hidden' department. There will be a meeting tomorrow." 'Yin' comes to me to deliver supplies, and you just follow along when the time comes."
"Say it earlier!"
Xuan Hao sighed, it is really difficult to talk to this kind of alcoholic whose brain circuit is not right.
Looking at Purgatory Shinichiro who fell to the ground in a daze, he had no choice but to throw him on the bed and cover him with a quilt.
"Dare to get drunk in a place like this..."
The pillars of the ghost killing team seem to be some strange guys, including this Yanzhu, who dared to get drunk like this in a place where ghosts often appear, and I don't know how he survived until now.
……
The next morning.
Although Purgatory Shinichiro was drunk, what he said did not seem to be nonsense.
Not long after the sun rose, someone came here with a basket on their backs.
It was clearly daytime, but the person who came was wearing a black uniform, wrapped himself tightly with a hat and a face scarf, like a legendary ninja on a secret mission.
But Xuan Hao knew that this was the 'hidden' of the Ghost Killing Squad, they had almost no fighting power, so other than supporting the wounded, daily work like this was done during the day.
"Master Purgatory, your..."
Members of the Yin Department walked into the room to put things away while calling Yan Zhu's name, but stopped as if calling out.
"Oh, are you drunk again?"
Yin, who was in charge of delivering supplies for Yan Zhu, seemed to be used to this phenomenon.
"Huh? There are others!"
At this time, he finally noticed the presence of Xuan Hao beside him.
"It's really great, it's very dangerous to be drunk here alone." Yin seemed to be very grateful that someone was here to guard this Yan Zhu.
"..." Xuan Hao was a little speechless, so he said it was really dangerous!
"Swordsman, are you sent by the lord to supervise the work of Mr. Purgatory?" Yin asked curiously.
"no……"
The corner of Xuan Hao's mouth twitched, has this guy drunk enough to need someone to supervise him?
"It's just that I happened to be near here last night, and I heard the crow remind me that we need support to come over to take a look, but when I arrived, Yan Zhu had already resolved the battle."
"Ah, as expected of Lord Purgatory." Yin seemed to have special respect for this Yanzhu, "Oh...it would be great if he could get rid of his drinking habit."
"Do you know why he drinks like this?" Xuan Hao asked with a frown.
"I don't know..." Yin scratched his head, "But it is rumored that Master Purgatory will be stronger than normal when he is drunk."
"Ah... Could it be that this guy knows how to do drunken fist? That's not right, he obviously uses a knife!" Xuan Hao was speechless.
"Hahahaha..." Hearing Xuanhao's complaints, he scratched his head in embarrassment, "I don't know the specific situation, but Mr. Purgatory is indeed a very powerful person, and I have also received his favor, so I just Volunteering to ask for some food to be brought to him every day, it is too inconvenient to live here."
"really……"
Xuan Hao nodded slightly, there is no human habitation near Sawu Mountain, because there are often ghosts, so Yanzhu lives here alone and needs to travel a long way to buy wine and food.
"Then don't you know not to give him wine!?"
He pointed to the pannier hidden behind him, which was probably full of wine.
"No... If I don't send it to Mr. Purgatory, he will go to buy it himself, so..."
"Oh... that's fine, that's fine." Xuan Hao sighed, did he get used to his feelings?
"I don't care about him, anyway, ordinary ghosts shouldn't be able to kill him."
"My lord also said the same thing..." Yin seemed to be a little worried, "Seeing you here, I thought my lord changed his mind."
"Oh?" Xuan Hao raised his brows a little after hearing this, the people of the Ubuyashiki clan are not like such reckless people, the 'Pillar' is an extremely important combat force for the Demon Slayer Team, and they will definitely not care about it.
If so, perhaps there was something else special about this man.
He put his eyes on the snoring and sleeping man in front of him, but he still couldn't see anything special.
"Forget it, let's talk about my affairs." Xuan Hao called Yin who was about to leave.
"Excuse me, sir, do you need anything?" I was a little puzzled.
"I want to know how to get to the village of swordsmiths," Xuan Hao said, pointing to the rusty sword on his waist.
Immediately understood what Xuan Hao meant when he saw this mottled long knife that looked a little old.
"So that's it, do you need to rebuild your weapon?"
"Yes, I want to go to the village of swordsmiths myself, can I trouble you to show me the way?"
"Ok!"
As he spoke, Yin took out a black cloth strip from his bosom and pulled it, as if he was about to tie something.
"This is?" Xuan Hao was taken aback.
"The location of the village must be kept secret, so if you want to go, I will go there without knowing why."
"Ah... are you sure?"
Xuan Hao was a little embarrassed, although he really wanted to cooperate with Yin's secret work, but...
He didn't think that this powerless man in front of him could easily carry him to the village of swordsmiths. After all, his body was quite strong. No, even the swordsmen of the Ghost Killing Squad would struggle to carry him. .
"Huh?" Yin didn't seem to understand Xuan Hao's meaning, "Of course I'm sure, this is my job. The location of the village is kept secret, even I don't know the exact location, if you are worried about my physical strength Please don’t worry about the problem, someone will replace me halfway, after all, I’m only responsible for sending you to find the hidden person on the street..."
"I see."
According to Yin's explanation, Xuan Hao realized that going to the village of swordsmiths was more complicated than he imagined.
The route adopted and the person in charge of sending people off will be changed very frequently, and only under the leadership of the crow can we successfully meet the person in charge of receiving them.And the crow, like Yin, will change very frequently, which means that the route taken each time may be different.
"Then... I will trouble you."
Xuan Hao covered his eyes hesitantly, not because he was confident, but he really felt that this Yin would succumb to his majestic appearance.
"No trouble."
Hikari seemed to be answering with a smile.
But when he just picked up the man in front of him, the smile under the veil froze in an instant.
Grass is so heavy!This is his real feeling, as if what he is carrying is not a human being but some kind of creature that eats and sleeps.
(End of this chapter)
"It's really sad..." Just like Ji Guoyuan said.
sorrow?It's sad again! ?Hearing the man leaving with his brother's body in front of him say the same words as his brother, Ji Guoyansheng, who turned into a ghost, had a grim face and trembled violently.
But he found that he couldn't move, why?Fear! ?Yes, it was fear. He didn't know if it was because of the fear in his heart or the fear of the blood in his body. He didn't dare to make a move on the man in front of him and could only watch him leave.
Damn, hate, hate!Ji Guoyan was furious in his heart, but he couldn't even utter an angry roar. He had already vowed to become stronger, he wanted to win!He has to become strong enough to be able to win forever, otherwise why would he choose to become this ugly! ?
But now?One monster after another was crushing on his head!Ji Guoyansheng had no idea where he lost.
"Crack-"
There was the sound of something breaking in the dark mansion.
The mansion is owned by a man who appears to be between 25 and 29 years old.
But this man has a pair of red plum-colored eyes, the pupils are straight and slender like a cat, his face is bloodless, and he looks like a vampire.
If he behaved more dignifiedly, he might have the feeling of 'vampire nobleman'.
But now his face was hideous, even the wine glass in his hand was crushed, scarlet blood dripped down his arms and onto the floor.
These are not his blood, but the liquid in the wine glass.
That's right, the wine glass is not filled with wine but human blood. Of course, he is not a vampire, but the 'king of ghosts' Onimai Tsuji.
Just now, he sensed the news from one of his strongest ghosts, 'Hei Si Mou', that Ji Guo Yuan had died.
This should be something to be happy about, he has been hiding for more than 60 years, and he can finally stop being sneaky!But when he checked the memory of Hei Si Mou in order to confirm the authenticity of the information, he felt a sudden cardiac arrest.
He saw the man who once terrified him, and not one, but two together!
One is called Ji Guoyuanyi, and the other...he doesn't know the name, but that rusty sword is unmistakable!He will not forget the sword.After he became a ghost, only two swords had cut himself, one was the red blade in Ji Guoyuan's hand, and the other was the rusty sword in this man's hand!
Ji Guoyuanyi is indeed dead, but what is the matter with the other man! ?Why does he look so young just like himself! ?Could it be that he is also a ghost! ?
No no no, impossible!As the king of ghosts, Mumai Tsuji is sure that this man cannot be a ghost.
Did this man take the full pill?Do not!The doctor has been killed by me, how can there be a creature more perfect than me in this world?Unwilling to believe such a fact.
If this is the case, there is only one possibility left, yes, this must be the descendant of that man!
Gui Wu Tsuji Wu Mi can only comfort himself in this way, because the last time he met that man was more than 60 years ago!
How can human beings still look like that after more than 60 years?Moreover, that man disappeared inexplicably 50 years ago. He always thought that the other party was dead. The only thing that could threaten him in this world is Ji Guoyuan Yi. As long as Ji Guo Yuan Yi dies, he will be invincible!
But now after hiding for so many years, Ji Guoyuanyi finally survived. He just saw hope, and another freak appeared!He could only think that this was the first time in the descendants left by that man that someone who could threaten him appeared again after more than 60 years.
"No! You have to kill him, find a way to kill him, and his descendants, we must kill the grass!"
Oni Wu Tsuji had a ferocious face, and his eyes were full of hatred and anger.
But even though he said so, how can he kill that man?Even Hei Si Mou was so vulnerable in front of him...
"Damn it..."
Oni Wu Tsuji Wucan grabbed his hair with both hands, sharp nails embedded in the skin to catch blood.
It is impossible for him to take the risk himself, it is too dangerous, the original fear is still unforgettable until now, even if this person is really only the descendant of that person, the strength he has shown is enough to threaten him, and he cannot take risks .
Could it be that he can only survive until this man dies of old age?
"Forget it..."
Guiwu Tsuji Wucan's face was gloomy, "Come here!"
"Yes! My lord."
A pitch-black figure came out of the shadows and knelt respectfully in front of Guiwu Tsuji Wumi. This figure lowered its head, as if it didn't dare to look up at the man in front of it.
"Let those idiots give me peace of mind recently. If you find a man with a rusty sword hanging from his waist, report to me immediately, understand?"
"Yes, my lord."
That figure slowly merged into the darkness, and there seemed to be something engraved in the flashing hideous eyes.
……
Just when Gui Wu Tsuji had a headache, Xuan Hao was preparing to bury Ji Guo Yuanyi.
By looking at the memories of Ji Guoyuan's life, he learned that this man had been expelled from the Ghost Slayer Squad.Because he let go of the ghost king by mistake, and let go of another female ghost, and his brother also betrayed humans and became a ghost.Such 'sinners' cannot stay in the Ghost Killing Squad.
"I really... don't know how to describe this man."
The more Xuan Hao knew about this man's past, the more Xuan Hao felt that this man was really kind. He obviously did nothing wrong, but he endured everything alone, and he didn't hold any grudges against anyone. Continue to kill ghosts.Even after leaving the Ghost Killing Squad, this man is still fighting to protect others all his life.
Maybe it's because he knows that there are many kind people in this world who need his protection?
For example, the protagonist who is only 6 years old but more reasonable than all the pillars of the Ghost Slaying Squad, such as his family members who stayed in the Ghost Slaying Squad.
The people of the Ubuyashiki clan keep their promises. Since Ji Kuni left the ghost slaying team, his family who stayed in the ghost slaying team has a good life. Every head of the Ubuyashiki family remembers the promise made by his elders to Ji Kuni .
Following Ji Guoyuan's memory, Xuan Hao came to a place full of wisteria trees.
This is the place where an anonymous descendant of Ji Guoyuan lives. Wisteria is the flower that ghosts hate the most, because it is poisonous to ghosts, so this place is as peaceful as a paradise, and few ghosts are willing to come here.
But Ji Guoyuan seems to have not been here for a long time.
Perhaps because he knew that he would be hated by Onimai Tsuji, he asked his descendants to change their surnames after his wife died, did not teach them how to breathe, and had little contact with them after that.
It seems to feel the withering of life, the breeze blows, and the petals of the wisteria tree begin to fall all over the sky.
The petals fell on the old man in Xuan Hao's arms. Under the sunlight, the old man seemed to be just asleep.
When Xuan Hao walked into the courtyard with Ji Guoyuanyi's remains in his arms, the young man who was farming in the courtyard jumped and hurried back to the back room to call for help.
With the support of the young man, an old woman over sixty came out of the house.
Xuan Hao knew that this was Ji Guo Yuanyi's daughter, but his impression of this old woman was only at the infant stage... Speaking of it, it seemed that this was the life he witnessed the birth with his own eyes.
"Time is merciless."
He sighed slightly, and put Ji Guo Yuanyi's remains in front of the old woman.
The old woman's body trembled slightly, and tears gushed out of her eyes uncontrollably.
She hadn't seen her father for a long time, and she didn't expect that she would look like this when she met again.
"Excuse me... who are you?" She looked at the person who brought her father's remains home with some doubts.I always feel like I have seen this person before, but I can't remember it no matter how I recall it.
"I'm a member of the Ghost Killing Squad. The 'lord' said that Mr. Yuanyi should want to go home, so he sent me to send him back."
Xuanhao didn't reveal his real identity, because he knew that the reason why Ji Guoyuan let his descendants hide their names and didn't even learn how to breathe and just be ordinary people, maybe he didn't want them to be involved in disputes, so it's better not to talk to them. It's better to get involved with yourself.
"Mr. Yuanyi is a great person. He is the pride of the Ghost Killing Squad. No, it should be the pride of mankind."
"thanks, thanks……"
The old woman and her descendants bowed to thank Xuan Hao.
They didn't have any doubts about what Xuan Hao said, because the people of the Ubuyashiki clan had been paying attention to the life of their family, and would send people to give them something from time to time.
Xuan Hao shook his head slightly, and left here after saying goodbye.
"Ghost Squad?"
Speaking of the ghost killing team and ghosts, Xuan Hao suddenly remembered something important.
Following the "King of Ghosts" mentioned by Guoyuan, Ghost Dance Tsuji has no misery.
He seems to have... seen it!
"Ah... really careless."
Xuan Hao scratched his head.
After reading Ji Guoyuanyi's memories, he realized that the ghost he met in the forest that night was the so-called 'ghost king', and he regretted why he didn't kill it.
But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he might not be able to kill that kind of guy, but the other party could explode into more than 800 fragments and escape.If you can't stop it from exploding, it seems troublesome to catch it to bask in the sun, and some debris will be missed if you don't pay attention.
And according to Ji Guoyuanyi's memory breathing method and the Japanese sword are not the weakness of Onimai Tsuji, the only ones that can really cause effective damage to it are the "He Dao" and the "Breathing of the Sun".
He can do 'Breath of the Sun', but he is really unskilled, and what is 'He Dao'?He didn't know how to use it at all, and the description of this skill in Ji Guoyuan's memory was also very vague. He just said that it made the blade turn red, but did it just turn red when it was rubbed under high temperature?
"Forget it, never mind... Anyway, that guy is so weak, let's talk about it when we meet..."
Xuan Hao felt that it might not be so easy for him to meet this coward again.
This guy seems to have been huddled and never came out after he and Ji Guoyuan were chopped off. It seems that he wants to kill him and Ji Guoyuan?Thinking of this, please forgive Xuan Hao for laughing unkindly, there is no way, this is the first time he knows that someone wants to boil him to death.
After walking out of the wisteria forest, Xuan Hao planned to visit the Ghost Killing Squad.
He remembered what Ji Guoyuanyi said to him last, let himself take a good look at the world.
I don't know why, now his heart is abnormally calm, without the sense of time-pressed anxiety before, he plans to try to walk the road that Ji Guoyuan has walked, walking slowly like Ji Guoyuan, maybe It's really like what this man said, when the time comes, you will always meet the person you want to see in the end.
……
"A ghost appeared in Sagiri Mountain! Repeat, a ghost appeared in Sagiri Mountain!"
"Please rush to support the nearby swordsmen above level 'C'!"
"Swordsmen above level 'C' rushed to support quickly!"
The crows chattered in the sky.
Woke up the man who was sleeping against the tree.
"'C' level?" Xuan Hao yawned, "It doesn't look like a very strong ghost..."
The swordsmen in the ghost killing team have a clear division of ranks, from low to high, there are ten levels of 'guirenxingengjiwudingbingyijia', and there are stronger 'pillar' level swordsmen above these.
Every swordsman in the Demon Slayer Squad is as precious as his own child in the eyes of the head of the Ubuyashiki, so he will not give orders indiscriminately. Since the swordsmen of the 'C' level and above are ordered to support, then it means that Sagiri Mountain Some swordsmen may have been killed, and swordsmen above this level must be supported, and swordsmen who have not reached this level will also die.
Ghosts, which require a swordsman above level 'C' to deal with, or many other swordsmen are already very strong, but for Xuanhao, there is no difference... because the ghost king is the same in front of him.
The only thing that caused him a headache was that he couldn't find the ghost king's whereabouts. If he could find it, it would be faster to solve the problem directly from the root cause.
Guiwu Tsuji Wumi seemed to be more timid than he imagined, and he didn't dare to show his face at all.
"Oh, that's all, it's nearby anyway, so let's go and have a look."
Xuan Hao got up and jumped down from the tree.
It has been a while since he joined the Ghost Killing Squad. During this period, he has been killing ghosts while looking for the whereabouts of his sister. Although he still has no clue, he is not so anxious now, because there is no use in worrying.
He also completely figured it out. Since he couldn't find her and was worried about his sister's safety, he might as well kill more ghosts to make the world safer. There seemed to be nothing wrong with this idea.
During the period of joining the Demon Slayer Squad, he had to admire the leadership of the Ubuyashiki clan, which is simply a conscientious enterprise. None of the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Squad had any objections, and even he couldn't fault it.
Regardless of whether the combat power is strong or weak, you can find a suitable position in the ghost killing team. Even a swordsman who is injured and loses the ability to hunt ghosts can retreat to the second line to do logistics work.
By the way, the promotion system of the ghost killing team is also very fair, it is just the 'performance' of killing ghosts, the higher the level of ghosts who are capable of killing stronger ghosts.
Even Xuan Hao, a 'nobody', has been promoted to the 'A' level smoothly and quickly after joining the Ghost Killing Team.
This is already the highest level that ordinary swordsmen of the ghost killing team can reach. It's not that he doesn't want to continue to be promoted, but that he can't find a stronger 'ghost' to kill...
If you want to advance to the "Pillar" level, you must kill the "Twelve Ghost Moons" under Oniwu Tsuji Mucan.
The problem is... Currently, among the twelve ghost moons known by the Ghost Killing Team, only one of the top strings is 'Hei Si Mou', who is the elder brother of Ji Guo Yuan Yi that Xuan Hao once met.The rest of the positions have never appeared, and this one of the top strings doesn't seem to go out in front of human beings often, and it seems that he only wants to retreat to become stronger.
Others who often jump in front of the ghost killing team are only the ghosts who often change people, and there are only six of them in total. Under normal circumstances, the "lord" will not send swordsmen below the "pillar" level to crusade, unless they are too busy Come.
But this kind of overwhelmed situation doesn't hold true at all.Because there are nine swordsmen above the 'pillar' level.Nine hits six!It's not enough, there is no room for Xuan Hao to intervene, unless he is lucky and happens to meet, otherwise it is a normal phenomenon to be k-headed.
But this doesn't matter to Xuanhao at all, it should be said that he doesn't care about being a "pillar" at all, and he joins the ghost killing team just to find ghosts more conveniently.
Because the Ubuyashiki clan's industries spread all over the country, the information network of the Demon Slayer Squad is extremely wide. Wherever ghosts appear, they will immediately send out '鎹雅' to notify nearby swordsmen.
Just like now.
Xuan Hao hurried forward in the dark woods, heading towards the mountains shrouded in thick fog in the distance.
Sagiri Mountain got its name because it is shrouded in dense fog all year round.
The air on the mountain is extremely thin, which is not suitable for human survival, so it has become a refuge for ghosts. Ghosts hunted by swordsmen often flee here, because places with thin air have a great impact on the use of breathing methods. Ghost hunters who are not strong enough chase ghosts here by mistake, and they are likely to be killed back.
But because of this, there are often powerful swordsmen stationed nearby, waiting for support at any time.
Maybe it won't be long before the ghosts will know that this place is actually not safe, so they won't go here again.
"Quack-quack-quack-"
Hearing the crows hovering above his head began to call again, Xuan Hao, who had just arrived at the foot of the mountain and was about to rush up the mountain, covered his face and slowed down.
"Just now, the ghosts have been attacked by Yanzhu!"
"Grass (a plant)—"
He was k-headed again.
"Hahahaha-"
There was a sound of laughter.
A blond man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked down the mountain. His long blond hair had a flame-like color at the end, and even the feathers he was wearing were tattooed with flames.
He held a sun wheel knife with a flaming knife in his hand, always smiling on his face, and his whole person was as enthusiastic as a flame.
This person is the current Yanzhu of the Demon Slayer Squad - Purgatory Shinichiro.
"You're late again, Xuanhao." Purgatory Shinichiro greeted Xuanhao enthusiastically.
And Xuan Hao was speechless.
"What do you mean I'm late again, I really doubt that you live on this mountain..."
He knew how fast he was. It was impossible for any member of the Ghost Killing Squad nearby to be faster than him, not even this Yanzhu, unless this guy was guarding at the foot of the mountain in the first place.
"Hahaha! Don't doubt it, I am! There is no way, this is a dangerous area, and it is also within my jurisdiction." Purgatory Shinichiro touched his head in embarrassment, "In order to ensure the safety of the team members, I think it is the best place to stay here." suitable."
"Right……"
Xuan Hao glanced at the swordsmen of the Ghost Slayer Squad following Yan Zhu.
The swordsman's right arm seems to have disappeared, and he probably asked for reinforcements on Mount Sagiri.
Not long after, members of the Ghost Killing Squad's logistics team 'Hidden' rushed over, temporarily bandaged the swordsman's wound, tied him on a stretcher and carried him away.
And Xuan Hao and Purgatory Shinichiro came to a small wooden house at the foot of Sagiri Mountain and sat down.
Only then did Xuan Hao know that this guy really lived here.
Along the way, the enthusiastic purgatory Shinichiro told Xuanhao that since Sagiri Mountain was listed as a high-risk area, he volunteered to build a log cabin here without the master's order, and vowed to kill those evil spirits from going here run……
Xuan Hao could only be speechless about this.
Originally, he didn't know why the ghosts everywhere have become more honest recently, but now it seems that they were probably scared by these enthusiastic swordsmen of the ghost killing team.
Anyway, Xuan Hao never thought that it was because of his own reasons. His sudden appearance made Guiwu Tsuji Wumi's actions more cautious, and even ordered the ghosts under him to act with the same caution.
"Come on! I have nothing to entertain you here, only wine."
Purgatory Shinichiro took out two jars of wine, stuffed one jar into Xuan Hao's hand, and then directly lifted the other jar in his hand to drink over his head.
"Ha - cool!" Purgatory Shinichiro looked at Xuanhao, "You haven't changed at all!"
Maybe it's because he's over middle age, Purgatory Shinichiro will always care about the swordsmen who join the team later like an old father.Just like he is guarding here now to prevent more people from being killed by ghosts here.
Xuan Hao is not disgusted with such a person but just a little helpless, after all he doesn't need special care.
Xuan Hao also took a sip, and looked at the bold middle-aged man in front of him a little speechlessly, while Purgatory Shinichiro had already entered the 'nostalgia' mode, and after a few sips of wine, he began to chatter, "Haven't you changed? Only a few years."
"Yeah, it's been a few years since I saw you!"
Purgatory Shinichiro seemed very happy to see the boy in front of him again, and seemed to miss the scene when the two met.
The swordsmen of the Ghost Killing Squad travel around all year round, wandering on the verge of life and death all the time. People like this who haven't seen each other for several years may never be seen again.
Speaking of which, Purgatory Shinichiro felt that he could be regarded as the "teacher" of the young man in front of him. He still remembers the time when he met this young man in the "final selection".
It was a figure standing in the dawn, making people seem to see hope.
……
Every swordsman who wants to join the Ghost Killing Team must first pass the 'final selection' assessment.
The final selection was held at a place called 'Vine Raiding Mountain', which is a mountain full of wisteria flowers all year round. Wisteria flowers bloom all over the mountains and plains no matter what season. The wisteria trees here are like the wrath of gods against ghosts. Even if it is not the flowering season, it is still in full bloom.
The Pillars of the Ghost Killing Team trap weak ghosts in the mountains to select swordsmen with potential.
The swordsmen participating in the selection need to survive in the mountains for seven days.
Xuan Hao received the attention of Purgatory Shinichiro because he performed too well when he participated in the 'Final Selection'.
Of course, it wasn't because Xuan Hao performed well and killed many ghosts, but because this guy didn't use either the breathing method or the sun wheel knife when killing ghosts.
The entire ghost killing team probably remembered this man after this 'final selection'.
Because when Xuan Hao kills ghosts, he always holds the opponent's neck and stands in an open place waiting for dawn, his appearance looks like a god.
But this method is also very dangerous!Purgatory Shinichiro has always thought so.
It was precisely because of this that he paid special attention to this 'swordsman' who killed ghosts with his bare hands.
He clearly wears a sun wheel sword on his waist, but it seems that he never uses it. The knife is rusted and is not maintained. He thinks it must be the sun wheel knife of a certain swordsman he picked up somewhere?After all, swordsmen often die outside, and it is normal for someone to pick up a knife.
He doesn't know what this young man has experienced, but presumably everyone who chooses to join the Ghost Killing Squad has their own reasons.
People who want to join the Ghost Killing Team include not only those who have been trained by the trainers of the Ghost Killing Team, but also "savages" like Xuan Hao who come to them by themselves. The difference between them is whether they know how to breathe.But they may all have something in common, that is, they may all have a painful past that they don't want to be mentioned.
At that time, Purgatory Shinichiro mistakenly thought that Xuanhao could not breathe, so he never used it in the "final selection".
Although there are usually very few participants who don't know how to breathe, Xuan Hao passed the test without using breathing!
No matter who you are, you will think that such a person is probably a genius!
Purgatory Shinichiro also thinks so.
But geniuses belong to geniuses, such a way of killing ghosts is definitely not acceptable!It must be corrected!So in order to correct Xuanhao's wrong "posture", he specially asked the lord to be the "teacher" to teach the breathing method, and to teach Xuanhao the breathing method for a period of time.
It’s okay to kill ghosts in the correct way before joining, but after joining, you must have a ‘remedial lesson’!This is the basis for the ghost killing team to transform from being suppressed by ghosts to being able to suppress ghosts in recent decades, and it is also for this young man to live better!
But after only a few days of teaching, Purgatory Shinichiro became autistic.
Because Xuan Hao has completely mastered his breath of flame in just a few days, and his proficiency has reached the level where he can directly become a teacher. He is like a genius, oh no, a genius!
This is something to be happy about, autistic is autistic, but Purgatory Shinichiro is not jealous of his 'students'.He just thought that Xuan Hao, who had learned how to breathe, would be able to survive better.
But... What made him even more autistic was that this young man had already learned the breath of flames, but he still didn't use it!
He still remembers the first time he took this young man on a ghost hunting mission, the young man still used the most primitive method, pinching the ghost's neck and waiting for dawn.
This bad habit doesn't seem to change at all.
Purgatory Shinichiro was very happy to have such a genius in the Demon Slayer Squad, but he was also very worried, worried that this young man who didn't listen to persuasion would die outside because of carelessness.
Because this way of killing ghosts is too dangerous, if you keep in touch with ghosts at such a close distance, you may be killed by ghosts if you don't pay attention. To be honest, it is the first time he has seen someone kill ghosts in such a barbaric way, but it seems It also proved from the side that this young man is very powerful.
Perhaps stronger than him as a 'teacher'!But as a "teacher", Shinichiro Purgatory will always worry about students.
Until now, seeing Xuan Hao appearing in front of him safe and sound, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Purgatory Shinichiro laughed and drank all the wine in the altar.
"Are you still killing ghosts in that way?"
"Yes." Xuan Hao answered naturally.
This is all the experience and lessons he summed up. It is more reliable to use sunlight directly to kill ghosts. What if one day these ghosts are cut off by the Japanese knives like Kibu Tsuji without dying?
Looking back now, thinking about not being able to kill that guy really made me more angry. Now that guy is hiding in a place where he can't find it, he has no choice but to practice his hands with these little devils first.
"Hey..." Purgatory Shinichiro sighed when he saw Xuanhao's expressionless face, "Forget it, I won't talk about you anymore, just pay attention to safety, it's best to cut off your hands and feet first, understand?"
Look, is this a human language?The corner of Xuan Hao's mouth twitched, feeling that he was really kind, he just put his arms around his neck to invite those poor people who have not seen the sun to bask in the sun, it's not good to use knives and guns.
"Also!" Purgatory Shinichiro seemed to suddenly remember something, and his expression became a little serious.
"Your current qualifications are enough to be promoted to 'Pillar', the only thing left is to kill 'Twelve Ghost Moons' to prove it, I have to remind you, don't be as careless as you are now when facing these guys, you The knife... Let's take it and maintain it, so as not to lose the chain at a critical moment!"
Purgatory Shinichiro said, pointing helplessly at the rusty sword on Xuanhao's waist, "It's just that those swordsmiths saw you treat them like this, and maybe they would chase you and cut down a few streets before giving you maintenance. ..."
"Forehead……"
Forget it, Xuan Hao was stunned for a moment, he didn't want to be chased and hacked, usually he was chased and hacked by others.
Moreover, the Sun Wheel Knife really has a great effect on his immortality, the reason why he has been carrying it is because it is also a gift from a friend.As for maintenance... just wipe it clean at ordinary times, and I won't use it to kill people anyway.
Compared with cutting people, he prefers to stab people with a gun, or directly.
Maybe go to the village of swordsmiths and find those swordsmiths to forge him a spear?Xuan Hao hesitated after thinking about it, because it is said that going to the village of swordsmiths is particularly troublesome.
Sun wheel knives are the foundation of ghost hunting teams, and the swordsmiths who make these knives are naturally very important.
In order to protect these swordsmiths, the location of the village of swordsmiths must be kept secret. Even the 'pillars' of the ghost killing team don't know where it is, and Xuan Hao naturally doesn't know where it is.
wait!Xuan Hao seemed to have thought of something important. In this way, he has never been to the village of swordsmiths!In the past few years, he has searched the whole country and still can't find any clues about his sister. Maybe there are some clues there?
Thinking of this, Xuan Hao immediately asked Purgatory Shinichiro in front of him, "How do I get to the village of swordsmiths?"
"What? You figured it out!?" Purgatory Shinichiro looked happy, thinking that Xuan Hao had finally figured out how to use the sun wheel knife to kill ghosts.
"No... I want to ask the knifesmith there to make a suitable weapon for me."
Xuan Hao did not tell Purgatory Shinichiro his main purpose.
"Build weapons?"
"Yes, I'm not used to using knives, so I want to ask them to order another weapon for me."
"So that's the case, you should have said it earlier!"
Purgatory Shinichiro suddenly realized that this guy had been fighting ghosts with his bare hands because he was not used to using knives. "It's simple, what kind of weapon do you want? Actually, you don't have to go to the swordsmith's village in person, just tell the crow what you want. They'll pass your needs on to the Bladesmith's Village."
"Uh... I think I should go there in person, after all, it's the first time I've asked them to make weapons." The corners of Xuan Hao's mouth twitched, what are you kidding, if I don't go, I'm still making wool?
"That's right." Purgatory Shinichiro thought for a while, and felt that Xuanhao's words made sense, "It's good to go there yourself, you will be promoted to Zhu sooner or later, if the weapon you want is very special, you really should Go and find out if there is an exclusive knife maker that suits you."
"So in the end how to go..."
"I don't know, hahahaha... hiccup..." Purgatory Shinichiro laughed, perhaps because he drank a little too much and became delirious.
"Damn!" Xuan Hao almost lifted the table.
"Don't worry, don't worry!" Purgatory Shinichiro slapped the wine jar with a smile, "No one in the Demon Killing Squad can know the location of the swordsmith's village alone. If you want to go, you have to contact the members of the 'hidden' department. There will be a meeting tomorrow." 'Yin' comes to me to deliver supplies, and you just follow along when the time comes."
"Say it earlier!"
Xuan Hao sighed, it is really difficult to talk to this kind of alcoholic whose brain circuit is not right.
Looking at Purgatory Shinichiro who fell to the ground in a daze, he had no choice but to throw him on the bed and cover him with a quilt.
"Dare to get drunk in a place like this..."
The pillars of the ghost killing team seem to be some strange guys, including this Yanzhu, who dared to get drunk like this in a place where ghosts often appear, and I don't know how he survived until now.
……
The next morning.
Although Purgatory Shinichiro was drunk, what he said did not seem to be nonsense.
Not long after the sun rose, someone came here with a basket on their backs.
It was clearly daytime, but the person who came was wearing a black uniform, wrapped himself tightly with a hat and a face scarf, like a legendary ninja on a secret mission.
But Xuan Hao knew that this was the 'hidden' of the Ghost Killing Squad, they had almost no fighting power, so other than supporting the wounded, daily work like this was done during the day.
"Master Purgatory, your..."
Members of the Yin Department walked into the room to put things away while calling Yan Zhu's name, but stopped as if calling out.
"Oh, are you drunk again?"
Yin, who was in charge of delivering supplies for Yan Zhu, seemed to be used to this phenomenon.
"Huh? There are others!"
At this time, he finally noticed the presence of Xuan Hao beside him.
"It's really great, it's very dangerous to be drunk here alone." Yin seemed to be very grateful that someone was here to guard this Yan Zhu.
"..." Xuan Hao was a little speechless, so he said it was really dangerous!
"Swordsman, are you sent by the lord to supervise the work of Mr. Purgatory?" Yin asked curiously.
"no……"
The corner of Xuan Hao's mouth twitched, has this guy drunk enough to need someone to supervise him?
"It's just that I happened to be near here last night, and I heard the crow remind me that we need support to come over to take a look, but when I arrived, Yan Zhu had already resolved the battle."
"Ah, as expected of Lord Purgatory." Yin seemed to have special respect for this Yanzhu, "Oh...it would be great if he could get rid of his drinking habit."
"Do you know why he drinks like this?" Xuan Hao asked with a frown.
"I don't know..." Yin scratched his head, "But it is rumored that Master Purgatory will be stronger than normal when he is drunk."
"Ah... Could it be that this guy knows how to do drunken fist? That's not right, he obviously uses a knife!" Xuan Hao was speechless.
"Hahahaha..." Hearing Xuanhao's complaints, he scratched his head in embarrassment, "I don't know the specific situation, but Mr. Purgatory is indeed a very powerful person, and I have also received his favor, so I just Volunteering to ask for some food to be brought to him every day, it is too inconvenient to live here."
"really……"
Xuan Hao nodded slightly, there is no human habitation near Sawu Mountain, because there are often ghosts, so Yanzhu lives here alone and needs to travel a long way to buy wine and food.
"Then don't you know not to give him wine!?"
He pointed to the pannier hidden behind him, which was probably full of wine.
"No... If I don't send it to Mr. Purgatory, he will go to buy it himself, so..."
"Oh... that's fine, that's fine." Xuan Hao sighed, did he get used to his feelings?
"I don't care about him, anyway, ordinary ghosts shouldn't be able to kill him."
"My lord also said the same thing..." Yin seemed to be a little worried, "Seeing you here, I thought my lord changed his mind."
"Oh?" Xuan Hao raised his brows a little after hearing this, the people of the Ubuyashiki clan are not like such reckless people, the 'Pillar' is an extremely important combat force for the Demon Slayer Team, and they will definitely not care about it.
If so, perhaps there was something else special about this man.
He put his eyes on the snoring and sleeping man in front of him, but he still couldn't see anything special.
"Forget it, let's talk about my affairs." Xuan Hao called Yin who was about to leave.
"Excuse me, sir, do you need anything?" I was a little puzzled.
"I want to know how to get to the village of swordsmiths," Xuan Hao said, pointing to the rusty sword on his waist.
Immediately understood what Xuan Hao meant when he saw this mottled long knife that looked a little old.
"So that's it, do you need to rebuild your weapon?"
"Yes, I want to go to the village of swordsmiths myself, can I trouble you to show me the way?"
"Ok!"
As he spoke, Yin took out a black cloth strip from his bosom and pulled it, as if he was about to tie something.
"This is?" Xuan Hao was taken aback.
"The location of the village must be kept secret, so if you want to go, I will go there without knowing why."
"Ah... are you sure?"
Xuan Hao was a little embarrassed, although he really wanted to cooperate with Yin's secret work, but...
He didn't think that this powerless man in front of him could easily carry him to the village of swordsmiths. After all, his body was quite strong. No, even the swordsmen of the Ghost Killing Squad would struggle to carry him. .
"Huh?" Yin didn't seem to understand Xuan Hao's meaning, "Of course I'm sure, this is my job. The location of the village is kept secret, even I don't know the exact location, if you are worried about my physical strength Please don’t worry about the problem, someone will replace me halfway, after all, I’m only responsible for sending you to find the hidden person on the street..."
"I see."
According to Yin's explanation, Xuan Hao realized that going to the village of swordsmiths was more complicated than he imagined.
The route adopted and the person in charge of sending people off will be changed very frequently, and only under the leadership of the crow can we successfully meet the person in charge of receiving them.And the crow, like Yin, will change very frequently, which means that the route taken each time may be different.
"Then... I will trouble you."
Xuan Hao covered his eyes hesitantly, not because he was confident, but he really felt that this Yin would succumb to his majestic appearance.
"No trouble."
Hikari seemed to be answering with a smile.
But when he just picked up the man in front of him, the smile under the veil froze in an instant.
Grass is so heavy!This is his real feeling, as if what he is carrying is not a human being but some kind of creature that eats and sleeps.
