A Dimensional Journey Begins with the Dragon Clan

Chapter 386 379. Times have changed but not completely

"But surprise is not enough!" Hand Ghost squinted his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him, "This is not the expression I most want to see~"

As it spoke, it stretched out a few hands and fiddled with it in front of it.

"One, two, three...ten, eleven, um, counting you, that's eleven~"

"You... what are you counting?" Zhenmo was puzzled.

"Uh-huh--"

The hand ghost's laughter was full of joy, its eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and it covered its mouth with its hands and smiled, "Count the total number of Linlong disciples that I have eaten so far~ I have vowed to myself that I will kill them myself Every apprentice he cultivated~"

"What!?" Makoto's expression became agitated.

"That's right, that's it! This is the expression I want to see~ Excited? Angry? No, no, it's not just that~"

The hand ghost laughed recklessly, and pointed to the mask on Makoto's head, "That fox mask...is a sign! I remember the texture of the mask carved by that guy Lin Taki clearly! It's the same as the tengu he wears. The mask is exactly the same~"

"I remember this thing is called a disaster relief mask, right? But your brothers and sisters are eaten by me because they wear such masks~"

Seeing that Makoto's face gradually became desperate and angry to the point of crying, Hand Ghost's heart was extremely joyful, and he even danced with joy, "Hehehe... I devoured all the apprentices cultivated by that idiot Lin Taki Already~ He still wouldn’t think that he himself killed his apprentice, right? I really want to see that old man’s expression of despair when he finds out about this~”

"Bastard! Go to hell!"

Mamo swung his knife angrily and slashed at the hand ghost in front of him.

But he didn't notice the hand ghost's triumphant eyes.

Sure enough, I fell for it, stupid human beings~ The hand ghost’s eyes are full of sarcasm, it looks at the little fox in front of it so excited that even its breathing is chaotic, its movements become messy, and its mood becomes better. It can’t wait to eat Get rid of the little fox in front of you.

It stretched out its hand and bounced off the cutting blade with disdain.

The slashing power used by Zhenmu's petite figure is not enough to break through its defenses. Apart from its flexible movements, it poses no threat to the opponent ghost at all.

It was waiting for the girl to consume energy like a fool, and as soon as the speed slowed down, it would tear the girl into pieces alive!

There were tears in the corners of Zhenyu's eyes, and her anger had completely prevented her from thinking calmly.

Teacher Linlong is like a father to her. If they hadn't been adopted by Teacher Linlong, they would have starved to death when they were very young.

But it is such a kind teacher, why do the disciples he cultivated all suffer a tragic fate?
"It turns out that you are the guy who is playing tricks!"

At this moment, Zhenzhu has only one thought in his heart, which is to avenge those brothers and sisters who died.

But she didn't notice that her movements were getting slower and slower.

And when she realized something was wrong, countless ghost hands had surrounded her.

"True wild rice!" A sudden burst of shouting sounded.

A figure burst out from a distance, pushing away the real mushroom surrounded by ghost hands at the nick of time, but he himself fell into the siege of these ghost hands.

"Yiyu!" Makoto, who was pushed away, looked at Tomioka Yoshiyuki who was surrounded by ghost hands in despair.

She finally realized that she had made a mistake.This ghost is actually not strong. If you deal with it seriously, it won't be what it is now, and Yiyong doesn't have to be in the same predicament as he is now!

"Hehehe - here comes another little fox! There are so many surprises this year!"

Hand Ghost stared blankly at the boy who suddenly jumped out, then laughed even more wildly, grabbing the boy with his thick arms.

"Water Breathing..."

Tomioka Yoshiyuki's face changed, and he tried his best to use his sword skills, but he hadn't had time to adjust his posture after pushing away the real mushroom, these ghost hands were too close, and he didn't have time to use his sword skills at all!

He tried his best to swing the knife, but he was still a step too late, and two thick ghost hands hugged his waist.

A trace of cruelty flashed in the hand ghost's eyes, "Hehehe——"

Its hands are slightly hard.

"Ah! Ah-"

The screams erupted from Tomioka Yoshiyuki's mouth, and he felt that his whole body was about to be crushed.

Sato, who was rushing through the mountains and forests to clean up ghosts, stopped abruptly when he heard the screams.

"Brave!?"

His face changed under the fox mask for the first time. This is the voice of his companion. They grew up together, so they can't hear it wrong!
Volunteering is in danger!Sato turned around quickly and ran towards the source of the sound.

Watching the young man shuttling through the woods suddenly change direction, Xuan Hao and Lian Ji Xing Shou Lang, who had been paying attention to the young man, were also taken aback.

They looked in the direction the boy was running, and saw the strange-shaped ghost.

"What's the situation with this ghost?" Purgatory Xing Shoulang frowned and asked.

"..."

Xuan Hao said in his heart that if you ask me, who should I ask?I'm not the person in charge of managing this place, even Yin's identity is fake!
However, this ghost obviously didn't look like the ghost that should appear in the final selection.

"Don't you need support?" Xuan Hao asked.

"That boy should be able to handle it." Purgatory Xingshoulang looked at the boy who had already rushed over and said, he felt that this boy might not be weaker than himself, and he was enough to deal with this ghost, but out of duty, his body was still very honest. Moved a few steps in the direction of going down the mountain, "This is a mistake made by the Ghost Killing Team, we still have to deal with it..."

Xuan Hao nodded slowly, and continued to look at what was happening below.

Purgatory Xingshoulang is right, that boy is indeed stronger than this alien ghost, so there shouldn't be any major problems, right?
"puff--"

The rapid knife light flashed.

Cut off the two ghost hands that grabbed Yoshiyuki Tomioka.

Sabito dragged Giyuu to a safe distance.

"Yiyu!?" Makoto anxiously checked Tomioka Yoshiyuki's injuries.If it wasn't for saving her, he wouldn't have been injured like this with his bravery.

Fortunately, Sato arrived in time, and Yiyong's life was not in danger, but he suffered serious injuries and lost his fighting ability.

"True mushroom, take Yiyong to find a place to hide, and leave it to me."

There was a hint of anger in Sabito's voice.

After speaking, he looked at the hand ghost in front of him with cold eyes.

The hand ghost looked at his severed hand suspiciously, as if he had just realized it now.

When it saw another boy wearing a fox mask appear, its eyes became a little gloomy.

"Okay ~ very good! I didn't expect Lin Long to be very capable this time, and he actually taught three apprentices?"

wait!The hand ghost seemed to think of something happy again, and his eyes narrowed slightly again.

One fox is very happy, two foxes are twice as happy, and now it is three times as happy?It felt extremely excited when it thought that it could make Lin Taki lose three apprentices at the same time.

boom--

The huge arm was thrown out and hit the spot where Satu was standing just now.

So fast, Hand Ghost looked at the young man who had just arrived in front of him in surprise. He was not at the same level as the two before him. This boy was very strong!

Satoshi didn't care about the shock in Hand Ghost's eyes.

Instead, he dodged the attack and approached quickly. His body moved and made a howling wind, like an angry gust of wind, sweeping towards the ghost in front of him.

The hand ghost looked at the boy's movements and his expression became a little ferocious. This familiar movement was exactly the same as the Lin Taki it hated!
"Don't even think about defeating me with the same sword skill again!"

It roared angrily, and the roar covered the sound of breaking through the ground.

Two thick arms sprang out from the ground at some point, grabbing Satu who was moving at high speed.

However, Satu's reaction and speed were extremely fast, and the attack of the hand ghost had no effect at all.

Xuan Hao watched this scene quietly, so far, it was the same as what Xing Shou Lang deduced, this young man is enough to deal with this ghost.No, it should be said that this boy is much stronger than this ghost, and there is absolutely no reason to lose.

However, something unexpected happened.

"Crack-"

The sun wheel knife in the boy's hand made a crisp sound and snapped instantly.

The air seemed suddenly silent.

Sabito looked at the broken sun blade in his hand in disbelief, as if he hadn't been able to react yet.

And the hand ghost was also slightly taken aback.

Because it didn't expect such a thing to happen.

It moved very slowly, and there was no way to dodge this knife. It could only desperately use those thick arms to protect its neck.

But the boy in front of him was clearly much stronger than him, and he thought he was going to die.

but……

"Hehehehehahahahahaha——"

Rampant laughter sounded suddenly.

The hand ghost looked at the stunned boy in front of him excitedly.

"Didn't expect it? My neck is not so easy to cut off!"

Its neck is protected by multiple arms, and the weak swordsman is unable to cut it open at all, but the young man in front of him seems to be capable of cutting it open, but...his knife can't hold it!

"Hahahahaha-"

The hand ghost looked at the young man in front of him holding the broken sun wheel knife. This knife seemed to have been scarred before, until now it had finally reached its limit when it was chopped on its neck.How lucky it is!

"God will not kill me!"

"go to hell!"

The thick ghost hand squeezed Satu's head, and it seemed that the scene of brains splattering could be seen in the next moment.

Xuan Hao calmly looked at the distant picture.

Kyojuro was desperately rushing towards Satu's position, but obviously, it was impossible to catch up with his speed.When Xing Shoulang got there, maybe the ghosts had already killed people and hid.

"Ugh……"

A helpless sigh sounded.

The scene in front of him was too familiar to Xuan Hao.

Almost the same thing had happened hundreds of years ago before his eyes.

But at that time, it was a girl who faced the ghost and faced the crisis, but this time it was a boy.

These two pictures are like the arrangement of fate, overlapping together in front of his eyes.

Xuan Hao knew that, just like 500 years ago, probably no one could change the current situation except himself.

"Is this the so-called cause and effect?"

The murmuring voice echoed on the top of the mountain, but at this moment there was no shadow of Xuan Hao on the top of the mountain.

Mako, who hid Tomioka Yoshiyuki, rushed back to support Satu, but when she arrived, she only saw a desperate scene in front of her.

The strong ghost hand was about to pinch Satu's head, and it seemed that the head would explode only in the next moment.

The swordsman who lost his Japanese sword became helpless in front of the ghost.

Too late to dodge, too late to rescue.

Despair and dead silence surged into the hearts of the boys and girls.

Zhenmo closed her eyes in despair, not realizing that at this moment, the wind was blowing.

Wisteria flowers are still blooming on the mountain road leading to the valley.Suddenly, they moved.

The gusty wind that swept past drove the petals of wisteria all over the place.

No one can see what has passed by, people can only see scenes that seem to be miraculous.

Wisteria, which originally only bloomed at the end of the mountain road, crossed the valley like a dragon in an instant.

Zhenmo, who didn't dare to open her eyes, smelled the fragrance of wisteria flowers. She opened her eyes in surprise and saw the rain of flowers all over the sky.

Sabito, who was supposed to die at the hand of Oni, lost consciousness at some point and fell in front of her.

And the ghost who wanted to crush the rabbit's head was roaring in pain among the wisterias all over the sky.

Wisteria flowers, which are harmless to humans, are highly poisonous to these ghosts.

"Breath of Flame, Nine Paths, Purgatory!"

The wisteria petals all over the sky were scattered by Shanshan's Purgatory Xingshourou. He slashed his sword at the fastest speed and rushed into the sea of ​​flowers like a burning pillar of fire.

The strong wind had already subsided, the petals were still falling all over the sky, and the huge figure fell to the ground with a crash, leaving only the purgatory Xingshourou who was standing there at a loss.

"what happened?"

Xing Shoulang was puzzled.

Although he was very happy looking at the rescued boy and girl in front of him, he didn't know what was going on.

Because he knew that he couldn't catch up, and it was the wisteria petals that were blown here from the top of the mountain by the strong wind somehow.

Xing Shoulang turned his head to look at the top of the mountain in doubt. Except for the wisteria tree still swaying in the wind, there was nothing special.

If there is anything...the only member of the hidden club standing on the top of the mountain looking at him.

But the man seemed to have been on the top of the mountain and never moved.

The dawn light rose from the top of the mountain, and Xing Shoulang's vision gradually became blurred in the light, and he couldn't see the figure on the top of the mountain clearly.

The sun shining into the valley also heralds the end of the 'final selection'.

"Could it be that the gods are manifesting their spirits?" Xing Shoulang couldn't figure it out.

"That should be fine, right?"

Xuan Hao who returned to the top of the mountain muttered to himself.

He who was planning to hide in the dark couldn't appear in the sight of the ghost, but his speed was so fast that no one could see his movements clearly, not even the ghost.

As long as these ghosts can't be seen, they haven't appeared.

Everyone, including the ghost, could only see that it was Purgatory Xingshourou who killed it.

"Sir, can I trouble you to send the wounded to Butterfly Residence?"

Purgatory Xingshoulang returned to the top of the mountain with the unconscious Sato in his arms, and said to Xuanhao.

"Forehead……"

Xuan Hao froze for a moment, then nodded in response.

He almost forgot that he was hiding now, and sending the wounded to treatment was Yin's job.

"But I'm alone..."

He looked at the wounded all over the floor and fell into deep thought.

What about other secrets?Haven't arrived yet?
"Don't worry, we will help too! The final selection is over, and the lord will send someone to help soon," Lian Ji Xing Shou Lang seemed to see Xuan Hao's distress, and laughed.

Purgatory Kyojurou, with the unconscious Satu on his back, motioned to Ganroji Mitsuri behind him.

Under the amazed gazes of everyone, this seemingly weak girl lifted two of them up and walked away effortlessly. It seemed that this girl named Ganluji Mitsuri was quite big in every respect.

……

The dense fog obscured the moonlight, making the whole city look extremely dark.

Painful groans came from some corner of the city that no one cared about.

The swordsman wearing the uniform of the Demon Slayer Squad fell into the pitch-black shadows, his entire body seemed to be swallowed by the shadows on the ground.

If you look carefully, you will find that the shadow on the ground actually has sharp sawtooth, slowly devouring this swordsman like a ferocious mouth that can swallow everything.

Street lights flickered to illuminate his surroundings.

The swordsman felt his body sinking continuously, and stared in horror at the wolf-shaped monsters that seemed to be made of shadows around him.

The shadow wolves licked the blood from his body, as if they couldn't wait to swallow him up.

And the reason why they resist the bloodthirsty impulse is that their masters don't seem to have ordered it yet.

"Crack-"

There was the sound of a gun being loaded.

"How much did I say about that guy? Ahh...I remembered."

Demonic whispers kept echoing in the swordsman's ears.

This ghost has been talking about it since just now, and it could kill him directly, but it fell into a madness like a neurotic.

The raving sound made the swordsman who fell to the ground unable to struggle feel even more desperate.

"I remember!?" The ghost caressed the gun in his hand, frantically recalling something, and the gun muzzle was getting closer and closer to his forehead.

"Those terrifying eyes like a cock, the unpleasant face like a cock! Only that guy, I will never let him go! I must seek revenge from him!"

"Damn, hate, hate, hate, hate!"

Its figure kept trembling, "The figure of that man is still lingering in my mind...Damn it!"

"boom--"

Gunshots sounded.

The swordsman who fell on the ground stared in horror at the ghost who shot himself in the head.

"Damn! Why can't I get rid of it? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The ghost groaned in pain, it seemed that breaking his own head still didn't let him get rid of the shadow in his heart.

"Ha... ah ah ah ah—"

A scream came from the swordsman's mouth.

The shadow wolves surrounding the swordsman began to bite crazily.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

It looked at the corpse on the ground with some doubts, and apologized, but its eyes were full of anger and resentment.

"Woooooooo..."

The ghost closed its eyes and frantically covered its face and shook its head. Soon it breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm saved, the blood rushed to my head just now, and I almost died of anger."

The words 'Xia Er' were engraved in the pupils of its opened eyes, and a trace of doubt suddenly appeared in these ferocious eyes.It seemed that he was a little delirious because of the shooting just now.

"Al? How much am I supposed to say about that guy?"

This ghost seems to have gone back to the original problem, and fell into the madness again.

……

early morning.

Xuan Hao took the letter from Yoya Shiki, the obstetrician, to visit Purgatory's house.

Sending letters is also one of Yin's tasks. He originally planned to visit the Purgatory House, so he took this opportunity to drop by.

The door of the mansion was pushed open, and what greeted him was a little boy who looked only a few years old.

The little boy has a face and hairstyle that is [-]% similar to that of Purgatory Xingshourou. There is no difference except that he is a little smaller and his eyes are much softer.

He is the younger brother of Purgatory Xingjurou, Purgatory Senjurou.

Senshouro pushed open the door with some doubts, and when he saw the uniform on the visitor, he soon knew that this was a member of the hidden club of the Demon Slayer Squad.

"Ah! Please come in!" Qian Shoulang politely welcomed Xuan Hao into the mansion, "Excuse me, are you here to see your father?"

Senshouro knew that it was not the first time that the members of Yinbu came to the Purgatory House, and the purpose of coming every time was almost the same, that is to visit his father who is Yan Zhu.

"Yes." Xuanhao nodded lightly, "This is a letter entrusted by Ubuyashiki to invite Yanzhu to attend the Zhuhe meeting."

Ubuyashiki?Senshouro was a little puzzled, why did this hidden member call the lord by his surname directly?But he didn't think too much, and continued to lead Xuan Hao to his father's room.

"No, no! I told you not to come looking for me!"

An extremely impatient voice came from the room.

"Alas..." Qianshoulang, who knocked on the door, sighed, and turned around to apologize to Xuanhao helplessly.

"I'm sorry, sir, my father...has been like this for a long time, shutting himself in the room all the time, not wanting to go anywhere, and not wanting to see anyone who comes to visit."

"It's okay." Xuan Hao didn't care, after all, he heard that Yan Zhu's wife had just passed away not long ago, so it's normal to be autistic.

"In short, I delivered the letter, and I should not care about the rest."

Xuan Hao handed the letter to the little boy in front of him.

"Okay, I will find a way to convey it to my father." Qianshoulang took the letter and showed a helpless smile, "Sir, come from a long way, let's take a rest before leaving, I made some snacks, I hope you can Try it."

"Uh... ok."

Facing the smile of this sensible child, Xuan Hao couldn't bear to refuse.

This year's Yanzhu is not good, there is not a single child who is sensible.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Purgatory Senjuro, how about you, sir?" Senjuro asked.

"Eh..." Xuan Hao was stunned for a moment, "Sorry, it's not convenient to mention my name at the moment."

His name seems to be known only by the protagonist of the Ghost Slayer Squad and Zhu Zhu. In short, the fewer people who know it, the better, because he is now a 'dead man'.

The fact that he woke up is currently only known to Butterfly Sisters and Yuya Ubuyashiki.

"Ah?" Qian Shoulang was a little disappointed, this Yin seemed very mysterious, he called the lord by his surname directly, and he still didn't want to disclose his name.

However, the nature of Yin's work needs to be kept secret, and Senshouro didn't pay much attention to it, and soon cheered up, "That's it, it doesn't matter! Sir, please wait for me at the dojo over there first, and I will prepare some snacks."

"Ah."

Xuanhao walked towards the dojo pointed by Qianshoulang.

As soon as I walked to the door of the dojo, I heard the sound of crackling wooden swords colliding inside.

He gently opened the door of the dojo, and saw two familiar figures sparring in it.

"Hahahaha——" Purgatory Xingshoulang laughed and swung his sword, constantly attacking the girl in front of him.

"What's the matter! What's the matter? You haven't practiced for a while, and your body has become dull!"

"Yeah——" Ganlusi Mili closed her eyes and waved the wooden sword indiscriminately to resist the attack, looking a little at a loss.

"Can't even withstand this level of attack, how can you be a swordsman of the Demon Killing Squad! Come on!"

Xing Shoulang yelled to cheer up and swung his sword.

"But...but I'm so hungry that my chest is on my back!" Ganluji Mitsuri yelled aggrievedly, "I just want to eat some snacks and take a rest!"

You call this... chest to back?Xuan Hao looked at the undulating waves in front of Ganlusi Mili in a daze, it might be difficult to stick it to her own back...

"No way! We just had lunch not long ago! Practice a thousand more times, come on!" Purgatory Kyojuro thought that Ganluji Mitsuri was joking with him, laughed and continued to attack.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrr—"

There was a strange sound in the dojo.

"Look, the child is so hungry..." Xuan Hao covered his face, pretending not to hear.

After all, she is a girl, so she probably doesn't want to be heard when her stomach makes such a loud sound.

"Hehe..." Qianshou Lang who came over with a plate smiled awkwardly at Xuan Hao, "I'm sorry sir, I made you laugh."

As he spoke, he knocked on the door again to remind the two people who were practicing swords in the dojo.

"Brother, Miss Mitsuri! You have worked hard, I made some snacks, can you take a break for a while?"

"Wow! Thank you, Senjuro!"

Kanroji Mitsuri heard Senjuro's voice as if she was grasping at straws.

Crying, oh no, drooling and rushing towards Qianshourou.

The undulating waves slapped on Senjurou's face, causing Senjurou to bear the pressure that he shouldn't have to bear at his age, and his whole face turned red.

"Hey, hey! We haven't finished practicing yet!"

Purgatory Kyojuro raised his wooden sword and shouted at the back, but Kanroji Mitsuri had already stuffed the snack into his mouth and didn't hear it at all.

"Ah..." Senshouro finally recovered his breath after struggling out of the waves, "Brother! You should also take a rest, there are some snacks you haven't eaten before."

"Huh!?" Xing Shoulang's eyes flashed when he heard this, "I haven't eaten it, I'm curious!" ' His mind was written all over his face.

"Okay! Rest!"

"Sir, please do too." Qianshou Lang politely handed a snack to Xuan Hao.

"Okay, thank you." Xuan Hao took off the mask on his face and thanked him with a smile.

"Ah? So Yin can show his face?" Qianshou Lang was a little curious.

"Of course, it's daytime now." Xuan Hao replied as a matter of course, anyway, no ghosts would be able to see his appearance during the daytime.

"Oh..." Qianshoulang nodded half-understanding, but thought in his heart, this person is so strange, why can he show his face but not his name?

"Hahaha, sir, you are here too!" Purgatory Xingshoulang noticed the man next to his younger brother.

Although it was also the first time for him to see this man's face, he had already remembered the aura of this man during the 'final selection', and he would not admit his mistake.

"Well, I'm here to deliver the letter." Xuan Hao nodded slightly.

"Any important news?" Xing Shoulang asked.

"It's a notice about the Zhuhe meeting."

"Oh! I understand!" Xing Shoulang smiled, "Don't worry, I will tell my father! Thank you for your hard work!"

"It's hard work." Xuanhao nodded slightly, tasting the snacks given by Qianshoulang.I thought that the two children of Purgatory's family were much more sensible than their father.

"tasty."

He smiled and praised this child named Qianshourou.

But this dim sum... Xuan Hao looked at the dim sum in his hand and frowned, it didn't taste like Japanese dim sum.

"Hahaha, of course, Senshouro is the best cook in our family!" Xingshoulang patted his younger brother's shoulder proudly, and then took a bite of the dim sum, "Mmm! It's really delicious!"

"This is a Western-style dim sum that is very popular recently. Ms. Miri taught me how to make it, so I tried to make it." Qianjulang explained with a smile.

"Wow! Senjurou is really good!" Ganluji Mitsuri once again hugged Senjurou and praised.

"Western style?" Xuan Hao suddenly realized, no wonder he always felt a sense of disobedience.

and many more!Western dim sum...I rub it!What did Xuan Hao suddenly realize? What era is it now?

He only knows that he has slept for 500 years, and he doesn't know the changes in this world. Now it seems that the changes of the times are bigger than he imagined!Has even Western culture spread to this backward land?

No, I have to find time to visit the city!Xuan Hao feels like a country bumpkin now, he must have stayed in the backward era for so long that he almost forgot that he is a modern person.

Thinking of this, Xuan Hao got up and prepared to leave.

"Then if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

"Okay, sir, be careful." The two brothers of the purgatory family politely saw off the guests.

What safety do you pay attention to during the day?Xuan Hao smiled slightly, these two children are pretty good, I can take care of them when I have time.

He took the face towel and left the purgatory's mansion, ready to go for a walk in the town.

500 years have passed, and he only noticed his surroundings, but he almost forgot that the world is also developing. If the technology is advanced enough, wouldn't it be much easier to find Oni Wu Tsuji?

But soon Xuan Hao was disappointed.

When he came to the most prosperous imperial capital, looking at the near-medieval city and the steaming train in front of him, he quickly decided that he seemed to be thinking too much.

Times have changed, but not completely.

The technological level of this world has at most entered the age of steam, so don't even think about surveillance, satellites, and detectors.

"Ugh……"

Xuan Hao sighed, but thinking about it was right, it was so easy and he wouldn't let Gui Wu Tsuji hide for so long. Before he found Wu Mi, the Ghost Killing Team would probably have come to the door with a bazooka to send warmth.

……

After Xuan Hao left Purgatory House.

Purgatory Kyojuro sat kneeling in his father's room.

This is a very simple room, with almost no furniture on display, except for the bed on the floor, there is only a hanger on the side.

Hanging on the wooden hanger is the haori that is the symbol of Purgatory. This feather is like a burning fire that attracts the eyes of Purgatory Kyojuro.

What his mother told him when he was still alive.

"Listen up, Xingjurou! That is the haori that only Yanzhu is qualified to wear. You must become an outstanding Yanzhu like your father."

However, the current father... Xing Shoulang looked at the man who was not facing him and was drinking alcohol. The room smelled of alcohol, and the empty jug almost surrounded his father.

"Father, someone from the Yinbu came to inform you to attend the Zhuhe meeting just now." Xing Shoulang said respectfully.

"No, if you want to participate, you can go by yourself, I don't care." The man didn't look back, he picked up the empty wine jar, he seemed to be more concerned about whether he had a drink than the Zhuhe meeting.

"But... my lord father..."

"Snapped--"

The wine jar whizzed past Xing Shoulang's ear, and smashed to pieces on the wall behind him.

"It's so noisy! Don't talk to me! Anyway, you can't become any great person, whether it's the breath of flame, or the pillar, it's all useless! It's so boring!"

The man cursed impatiently.

Xing Shoulang didn't contradict his father, but got up silently and exited the room.

Although he is not quite sure what happened to his father, but the wish in his heart has not changed at all - to become an outstanding Yan Zhu like his father.

Purgatory Shinichiro puts on his uniform, puts his sword on his waist, and decides to go to the lord's residence to attend the Zhuai meeting instead of his father.

in the afternoon.

The bright sunshine sprinkles in the courtyard.

Under the eaves of the old mansion is a shaded place from the sun.

Obstetrician Shiki Yoya sat down slowly with the support of his two daughters.

Outside the eaves, several figures standing in the sunlight knelt on one knee and saluted when they saw his arrival.

"My lord!"

The same appellation came from their mouths.

Hearing everyone's call, Ubuyashiki Yoya showed a gentle smile on his face.

"My lovely swordsmen, I haven't seen you for half a year, how are you all?"

"Yes!" The pillars responded together, "It's great to see the Lord is still healthy."

Yuya Ubuyashiki nodded slightly. He looked around at the pillars who came here, with a trace of worry in his cloudy eyes, "Compared to last time, the number of people is much smaller. But the power of Kimai Tsuji is still strong, and It’s been getting more and more frustrating lately.”

"I'm really sorry, but I may have to trouble everyone more in the future. I hope you can cooperate with each other more than in the past and work hard to complete the task."

"Yes." The pillars replied respectfully.

Kawami Kawami paused for a moment, then seemed to remember something.

He shifted his gaze to Purgatory Xingshourou who was kneeling beside him.

"Why isn't the person who came to the Zhuhe meeting not Zhu? What happened to Master Makijuro, Yanzhu Purgatory?"

As he said that, Immortal Kawasami looked at Purgatory Kyojuro kneeling on the ground with somewhat dangerous eyes, as if hoping that he could give a reasonable explanation.

"Hey! Could it be that you want to say that you are qualified to perform tasks in place of Zhu?" Undead Kawa Minami showed a dangerous smile on his face, and the wounds on his face looked very hideous.

"Father, he..." Purgatory Xingshoulang was stunned for a moment, he was attracted by the aura of this pillar of wind in front of him.

That's right, not to deter, but to attract.

Although Immortal Kawa Minya's appearance is very charming, Purgatory Kyojuro still has a smile on his face.

"Is this the pillars! What a group of powerful people!" Purgatory Xingshoulang was eager to try. He looked at these pillars who could fight powerful ghosts, with only respect in his eyes.

"Okay, Minya, don't bully him too much." Ubuyashiki Yoya said softly, "I came to Kyojuro to ask him to explain about his father, Makijuro."

As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to Xing Shou Lang, "Xing Shou Lang, everyone is very worried about your father, can you tell us how he is doing at home?"

"..."

Purgatory Xingshoulang was silent for a while.

"Although I'm not sure...but since my mother Ruhuo passed away, my father seems to have lost his motivation. Every time he goes on a mission, he will definitely drink, and now he has locked himself in the room without going out. Hu also doesn't want to meet outsiders."

"Ah... what a pity..." Yanzhu lamented that tears flowed from Yu Xingming's hollow eyes, and he clasped his hands tightly holding the rosary as if he was praying for something, "Master Makijuro is a very talented Zhu, Originally, he was supposed to lead everyone..."

"Tsk—"

Yinzhu Yusui Tianyuan tidied up his hairstyle, "Yanzhu's current state cannot become the pillar of the swordsmen, and it will even affect morale. I suggest that he just retire."

"Agreed." Undead Kawa Miniya also nodded in agreement, "Although the number of pillars is insufficient, in his current state, if he continues to get drunk, the lord will not be able to entrust him with the task, what should we do? "

"Don't worry! It's fine!" Purgatory Xingshoulang said seriously, "As long as I become a pillar of flame, if my father sees me become a pillar, I will definitely be able to restore my original appearance!"

"Oh? Hahaha!" Yu Sui Tianyuan smiled lightly as if he had heard something interesting.

"Hey," Undead Kawa Minya showed a nuclear smile again, "Purgatory Anjurou, are you quite confident?"

There seemed to be a gust of wind blowing in the courtyard.

Immortal Kawa Minami has come to the kneeling purgatory Kyojuro at some point, looking down at him.

"Zhu is not able to do it casually."

He lowered his head, staring at Xing Shourou in front of him with some terrifying eyes.

But Purgatory Kyojuro did not give in, his eyes were still serious, and there was no fear in the eyes of Immortal Kawasami, "Of course I know the conditions for being promoted to the pillar!"

"Oh? Really?" Undead Kawa Minami stared at the kneeling man in front of him, and then looked back at Yoya Yashiki, "My lord, I'm sorry."

As soon as the voice fell, it was not waiting for Yashiki Yoya to respond.

His raised leg kicked towards Purgatory Kyojuro's head like a storm.

"Undead River!"

Zhu Zhu got up and wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

The two had already wrestled fiercely, oh no, no, it should be a one-sided beating.

"You should hurry up and become a pillar for me!"

Undead Kawa Minami kept punching the young man in front of him, grinning with anger or laughter, "The position of the pillar has always been vacant, when will you come? When will you be promoted? Hurry up and do something." ! Just talking about a fart! Bastard!"

He threw out one punch after another, but Purgatory Xingshourou just kept blocking and never fought back.
