A Dimensional Journey Begins with the Dragon Clan

Chapter 394
Tanjiro tried his best to press the handle of the ax against Nezuko's mouth, and his sharp teeth made a creaking sound on the wooden stick.

He was sweating profusely looking at Nezuko who was struggling in pain, his heart was full of remorse.

He is the eldest son in the family, and he was supposed to support the whole family after his father died of illness.

But when his relatives were in danger, he was not at home. When he was sleeping soundly at night, what kind of despair did his relatives experience?
Tanjiro didn't dare to think about it, the only thing he could do now was to desperately stop Nezuko from messing around, at least he had to do something for his only remaining relative.

but……

Nezuko after the demonization is very powerful, and it is impossible for ordinary human beings to resist the attack of ghosts with strength.

"Ah... woo—"

Nezuko whimpered as she bit the stick, her strength grew stronger and closer to Tanjiro.

Warm breath sprayed on Tanjiro's face, and saliva dripped down between his teeth on Tanjiro's forehead.

"Come on, Nezuko!"

Tanjiro desperately cried to his sister, "Hold it, don't give up!"

"Keep being yourself, don't become a ghost! Come on, Nezuko!"

As if he heard his brother's call, the demonized Nezuko showed a struggling expression, and crystal tears kept gushing from those cherry-colored eyes, dripping on Tanjirou's face.

Nezuko is still working hard!Tanjiro looked at Nezuko struggling and tears filled his eyes. He knew that his sister hadn't given up yet, so he couldn't give up either. The power he didn't know came from made him push Nezuko away a little.

Just when Tanjiro wanted to take advantage of Nezuko's weakened strength and push her away, there was a sudden strange vibration from the ground, which made him hesitate for a moment.

"Is it an earthquake?"

No, something rushed over!
Tanjiro's heart tightened, something rushed towards them, it was the strange smell just now.

Even if they fell down the hill, they followed, obviously coming towards them.

Tanjiro instinctively wanted to protect his younger sister, but the power that came from nowhere made him struggle and roll on the snow with the body hugging Nezuko, pressing his younger sister tightly on the snow.

In the next instant, the whole world turned into a snow-white color.

A figure abruptly stopped beside the two of them, and with his sudden stop, the sky was full of snow dancing wildly in the blizzard, drowning the two lying on the ground almost instantly.

"What exactly happened?"

Tanjiro hugged his sister tightly to keep her from moving.

Nezuko kept struggling to break free from his arms, but the overwhelming snow added weight to her body, and Tanjiro was finally able to subdue the maddened Nezuko.

He had just breathed a sigh of relief when he felt something caught behind him.Immediately afterwards, an upward force lifted him out of the thick snow.

"Ow, ooh, ooh—"

Leaving the pressure of the thick snow, Nezuko waved her hands and feet in pain, and began to struggle again.

But this time it didn't seem to be struggling to bite Tanjiro, but struggling to break free from his arms and get out of here.

"Are you late..."

A trace of sullenness flashed between Xuan Hao's brows, and he separated the two figures who were hugging each other.

He casually threw the boy on the ground, then frowned and looked at the girl who was struggling in his hands.

When he saw the girl's appearance clearly, his eyes froze for a moment.

This is a face that makes him feel very familiar, because the appearance of this girl is like Kagamigawa Maya 500 years ago, carved out of the same mold, especially the pair of cherry-colored pupils, as if the cherry blossoms are gorgeous .

It's just that Xuanhao knew very well that this couldn't be the same person, he once heard from Sanyashiki that the girl left nothing behind except the knife.

Xuan Hao was a little confused. Could it be that there is such a thing as reincarnation in this world?Or is it just a one-in-a-million coincidence.

But this is too much of a coincidence.

Xuan Hao fell into deep thought. He didn't know whether it was the girl who was familiar to him that had soul fragments, or Jia Shenchuan 500 years ago. Appeared in front of him again?
"Nezuko!"

An anxious cry interrupted Xuan Hao's train of thought, he was slightly stunned, looked at the girl in front of him and then at the boy just now.

"Is she called Nezuko?" Xuan Hao asked softly.

Hearing the question, Tanjiro couldn't react to the current situation, he struggled to get up, and looked at the man holding Nezuko in a panic.

The man was dressed in pitch black, with a veil on his face, his expression was unclear.

"Ah ah ah ah ah……"

Nezuko was struggling in this man's hands, her hands were pressed behind her back and she couldn't move at all.

Tanjiro called his sister, stretched out his hand and kept approaching the man.

"Hey... Let me ask you, is her name Nidouzi?" Xuan Hao looked at the bewildered young man in front of him, sighed, and asked again.

"Yes, it is!"

Tanjiro finally realized, "She...she is my sister!!"

He anxiously wanted to step forward to snatch the struggling Nezuko from the man.

Because he felt that the man in front of him was dangerous.

Although the man was now wearing a face mask so that he couldn't see his expression clearly, he could smell the man's doubts and anger.

"Who are you? Please let go of my sister..."

"I advise you not to approach her for the time being."

Xuan Hao stretched out his hand and waved it lightly, the wind and snow caused Tanjiro to stagger back a few steps.

"Haven't you figured out the current situation? She has become a ghost, and now return her to you, can you control it?"

"I……"

Tanjiro fell to the ground again, facing the man's questioning, he opened his mouth hesitantly, but he couldn't say anything to refute.

"Then... what should we do now?"

"According to common sense, ghosts are the enemies of human beings. If they stay in the world, they will only eat people. The ghost killing team will be responsible for killing them, and I happen to be a member of the ghost killing team..."

"No! Please wait a moment!" Tanjiro became anxious when he heard this, "Nezuko didn't eat people! He didn't hurt anyone! When I was at home, I smelled something that I had never smelled before. The taste of life! People should be killed by that guy! I don't know why Nezuko became like this, but she is definitely not the murderer!"

"..."

Xuan Hao, who was interrupted from speaking, was silent for a while. It seems that this should be the girl's brother. He didn't ask any questions before he finished speaking. The boy has already explained everything in a hurry. up.

Xuan Hao pondered for a while, because he sent some useful information from the boy's speech.

This boy's nose is very sensitive. The boy's family members were killed. The most important thing is that this boy has smelled a certain ghost... and in his impression, the only one who can turn a human into a ghost is Oni Wu Tsuji. Blood.

"It seems that it is necessary to go to the scene to investigate, but before that..."

After clearing his mind, Xuan Hao shifted his gaze to the young man in front of him.

When he was thinking just now, the boy was still flusteredly listing the evidence of his sister's innocence.

"Nezuko can't eat people! She didn't become a ghost! She should still know who I am, and Nezuko will definitely be able to return to her original form!"

"A person who becomes a ghost has never been able to return to his original form."

"Then I'll look for it. If it doesn't exist now, it doesn't mean it won't exist in the future! I will definitely find a way to make Nezuko return to its original state!" Tanjiro anxiously wanted to step forward, but he saw Xuanhao raised his hand again and his footsteps He paused again.

The man in front of me is very powerful, he can easily subdue Nezuko who has turned into a ghost, and he was sent flying far away with a wave of his hand just now, he is not an opponent at all!

The expression on Tanjiro's face became more and more anxious, but he couldn't think of a way to get Nezuko back from this man.

In the end it seemed there was no other way but to beg for mercy.

"Please don't hurt Nezuko! Please don't kill her!"

The expression on Tanjiro's face was somewhat desperate, he no longer wanted to lose his last family member.

So, he knelt down on the snow with a plop, gently pressed his forehead to the ground, and closed his eyes tightly to prevent tears from flowing out.

"Please be merciful...I beg you...please don't kill my sister..."

Xuan Hao looked at the chattering young man in front of him, his eyes became a little cold, "Are you just... just kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy?"

He hooked his fingers towards the boy in front of him.

For some reason, a trace of annoyance rose in his heart. From this young man, he seemed to see what he used to look like. Do you want to protect your sister?Of course it's good, but...he also knew that there was no point in begging for mercy on his knees.

"Don't hand over the power of life and death to others! You should know, right? There is no point in begging for mercy on your knees. Because you are weak, no one will pity you. This is the reality! The weak will not have the power to choose, let alone It is impossible to change your sister back to her original form!"

Xuan Hao looked at the young man in front of him indifferently, "You obviously have a weapon in your hand, why don't you resist? Is it because of fear? Is it because you want to escape? If that's the case..."

So what's the difference between you and me?Xuan Hao sighed slightly in his heart, he quietly looked at the young man kneeling on the ground in a daze.

Having experienced the same situation before, he knows best what this young man lacks.

It is the driving force to become stronger.

Crying and despair are meaningless. What this teenager should do at this moment is to turn the pain into motivation. What has passed is irreversible, so...

Be angry, roar, the irreconcilable hatred, the strong and pure anger, will turn into an indestructible power, there are many ways to become stronger, but this is the most suitable method for this young man now.

Xuan Hao raised his hand indifferently, and a strong killing intent enveloped the young man in front of him.

What surprised him slightly was that the young man didn't seem to be affected by the killing intent.

Tanjirou's eyes became extremely resolute, he could clearly feel the anger and killing intent of this powerful man in front of him, what did this man want to do by raising his hand in such an anger?
He didn't have time to think, and he didn't have time to be afraid, he just instinctively climbed up desperately.

"stop!"

Looking at this roaring young man, a smile flashed in Xuan Hao's eyes.

A flying stone the size of a fist hit him in the face.

Tanjiro was finally angry, his anger covered up the fear in his heart, he forgot what fear was, but he was not overwhelmed by anger.

Just like what the man in front of him said, he is weak, and he can't beat the man in front of him because he is weak.Even if he has a weapon in his hand to resist, even if he is no longer afraid because of anger, he still can't win, this is the reality.

"However, even if I can't win, I will..."

Tanjiro picked up the ax on the ground, and while throwing stones, he used the trees in the forest to avoid the sight of the man in front of him.

Use stones to distract attention, and then use trees to cover your sight, and finally rush towards the man desperately, dragging your hands behind you and doing your best to make a chopping movement.

It's just that the ax was no longer in Tanjirou's hands, but was flying in the sky and hitting Xuan Hao's head in an arc.

Xuan Hao, who was standing there, still watched the boy's movements calmly.

"Do you want...to die together?"

Xuan Hao smiled lightly, it was a good strategy, but unfortunately, every movement of this young man could not escape his eyes.

"However, as an ordinary person, it is considered qualified."

"Ahhh-"

Tanjiro yelled desperately, hoping to catch the man's attention in such a way that he wouldn't notice the ax he was throwing.

But when he got close to this man, the way he looked at this man suddenly changed, and there was a smile in those indifferent eyes.

Immediately afterwards, he watched the man raise his hand slightly.

"Go to sleep."

A helpless voice rang in Tanjiro's ear.

Then there is no more.

The ax was shot down without mercy.

Xuan Hao looked at the boy who was knocked unconscious on the ground by himself, a faint smile appeared on his face under the scarf.

"what!"

"Ok?"

He looked at Nezuko who was restrained by him with some doubts.

Seeing Tanjiro lying unconscious on the ground, the girl suddenly became more restless.

She struggled desperately, almost twisting her arm off.

Xuan Hao couldn't bear it so he let go.

The next moment, Nezuko desperately rushed towards Tanjirou.

Xuan Hao raised his hand to stop it, but he stopped when he raised his hand halfway.

"what--"

Nezuko turned around to protect the fainted Tanjiro, even though the corner of her mouth was drooling and looked painful, she still didn't hurt the fainted boy.

The elder brother tried his best to protect his younger sister, and the younger sister endured the pain to protect her elder brother.

"It's such a familiar scene, I should have thought of it a long time ago..."

Xuan Hao sighed slightly.

He should have thought a long time ago that people who can host soul fragments should be special even if they become ghosts.

Nezuko is different from other ghosts, she can't eat people.

He stepped forward gently.

"Ah!"

Nezuko put her hands in front of Tanjirou, and let out a threatening howl, as if she was wary of the man approaching in front of her.

But such intimidation didn't seem to have any effect on the man in front of him.

The man is still approaching here.

So she rushed forward, opened her mouth and bit the outstretched arm of the man in front of her.

"Squeak-"

Teeth rubbing against the skin on the arm made a sharp sound.

Nezuko bit hard, but found that she couldn't bite no matter what.

"Okay, baby, go to sleep."

The always warm big hand caressed the top of her head, and the intense drowsiness continued to hit her. The ferocious expression on Nezuko's face became gentle, and she closed her eyes and fell into sleep.

"Ow."

She kept sucking on the mouth holding Xuan Hao's arm, making a sleepy sound.

"Ugh……"

Feeling the feeling like a baby sucking on his wrist, Xuan Hao sighed softly.

He gently opened the girl's mouth, then found a bamboo tube from a nearby bamboo forest and tied it to the girl's mouth.

After doing all this, he held the two sleeping in the snow with one hand and disappeared on the spot.

······
"Nezuko!"

Tanjiro wakes up from his dream calling out his sister's name.

"what happened?"

He had no idea how he lost consciousness.

"That's right! Nezuko!"

Tanjiro frantically looked around trying to find Nezuko, but just as he turned his head, he found Nezuko lying beside him.

At this moment, Nezuko is still safe and sound, but she doesn't know who tied the bamboo tube on her mouth.

"Great!"

He hugged his younger sister with some gratitude, he thought they were all dead.

When Tanjiro came back to his senses, he realized that he and Nezuko seem to have returned home at this moment.

The blood still remaining on the wall and the floor told him that all this was not a dream, that he had really lost many relatives, and the only one still around now was Nezuko.

After the loss, Tanjiro rushed out of the room anxiously, because the bodies of his relatives were gone, and there were only bloodstains on the ground.

He remembered very clearly that he was in a hurry to take Nidouzi to the doctor, so he didn't have time to properly bury his mother and younger siblings.

where did they go

When Tanjiro rushed out of the room anxiously, he saw the unnamed tombstone not far from the door.

In the snowstorm, a lonely figure sat in front of the tombstone.

Tanjiro smelled a sad smell.

He was a little puzzled, why is this man sad?
"Are you awake?"

The figure sitting in front of the tombstone threw a stone at him without looking back.

Tanjiro caught it in a panic.

"Come on, engrave their names." The man said softly.

"Excuse me, are you..."

Tanjiro asked the man in front of him hesitantly.

No matter how stupid he is, he now understands that this man is not malicious.

"..."

Xuan Hao shook his head silently, "You don't need to know my name now."

He couldn't take off the veil to reveal his face, and he couldn't tell the boy his name, because Nezuko is now a ghost.

He didn't know whether Nezuko, who was a ghost, was also under the surveillance of Oniwu Tsuji, at least 500 years ago, even though the ghost also had soul fragments, it still couldn't escape Wuyou's control.

Tanjiro nodded slowly and did not continue to ask.

Since the man in front of him has been covering his face, he must be unwilling to let others know his identity. It would be too impolite to continue asking.

The scent that this man exudes is very gentle, which makes Tanjiro a little confused about what kind of person this is, but he just feels that this man's emotional changes make him a little confused and complicated.

But the only thing that is certain is that this person is not a bad person.

Not only helped him subdue the demonized Nezuko, but also helped him bury important family members.

"Thank you, sir……"

"No need."

Xuan Hao got up slowly.

"Do you remember what you promised earlier?"

"Huh?" Tanjiro was a little confused.

"Find a way to turn your sister Nezuko back into a human," Xuan Hao reminded.

"Of course!" Tanjiro's eyes were extremely firm, "I will definitely find a way to turn Nezuko back into a human!"

"That's good, then Neidouzi will be taken care of by you for the time being." Xuan Hao nodded slightly.

"...?"

Tanjiro was a little puzzled, Nezuko was his sister in the first place, what does it mean to hand it over to him temporarily?

correct!This man mentioned the Ghost Killing Squad, and said that the Ghost Killing Squad is an organization that specializes in killing ghosts!Could it be that this man just let Nezuko go temporarily?
Thinking of this, his eyes became vigilant.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you, don't look at me like this."

Xuan Hao sighed, "Your sister's situation is very special, let me give you some advice."

Hearing the man's assurance, Tanjiro breathed a sigh of relief, "Please... please tell me."

"First, your sister is a ghost now, she can't shine in the sun, otherwise she will die."

"!" Tanjiro hurriedly looked back at the room, he was finally relieved to see that Nezuko was still sleeping soundly, it was daytime now!Although it is cloudy, the clouds in the sky are about to disperse. It would be bad if Nezuko ran out suddenly.

"Second, if you don't want your sister to be killed, don't let her appear in the sight of the swordsmen of the Ghost Slayer Squad."

"Understood..." Tanjiro nodded seriously, this is a matter related to his sister's life, he engraved every word in his heart.

"Third, don't take the bamboo tube out of your sister's mouth. If you let her taste human flesh and blood, it will be too late."

"Fourth, you are too weak now, you must become stronger to be able to protect her."

Speaking of this, Xuan Hao's eyes became extremely serious.

He can't protect Nezuko personally now, because it would risk revealing his identity.

Nezuko is a ghost, if Nezuko is under Wu Mi's control, if Wu Mi has noticed him through Nezuko's eyes... hiding is a trivial matter, he is afraid that the old Yinbi will catch his weakness.

"But how can I become stronger?"

Tanjiro looked at his hands with some disappointment, he didn't even have the strength to subdue Nezuko.

"I've already arranged it for you."

Xuan Hao raised his finger and pointed to the distance, "In that direction there is a mountain that has been shrouded in dense fog all year round, named Sawu Mountain. In the past, evil spirits were rampant there, but after years of baptism by the ghost killing team, it is now a forbidden place for ghosts. , no ghost dares to approach easily. At the foot of Sagiri Mountain now lives a man named Rin Taki Sakinji, who used to be the 'Water Pillar' of the Demon Slayer Squad."

"Do you want me to take Nezuko to find that person?" Tanjiro was a little puzzled, "But didn't you say that you can't let Nezuko appear in the sight of the Demon Slayer Squad?"

"I've been kind to Rin Takazuo recently, he won't reveal the news about Nezuko." Xuan Hao explained, "He will guide you to become stronger, and then you can join the Demon Killing Squad..."

"But I brought Nezuko, wouldn't it be good to join the Demon Slayer Squad?" Tanjiro said hesitantly.

"As long as you don't let Nezuko appear in front of the other swordsmen of the Ghost Killing Team, it will be very troublesome for me to find your whereabouts if you don't join the Ghost Killing Team." Xuan Hao's eyes narrowed, "You should understand, right? It is not without reason that I will let your sister go."

Tanjiro nodded slightly, he understood what the man meant, although he let his sister go temporarily, but the man still seemed worried about them, so they must be within the controllable range.

This should be regarded as this man's duty as a member of the Ghost Slayer Squad, right?Don't even think about Tanjiro knowing that it is definitely against the rules for the members of the Demon Slayer Team to let go of the ghosts, and he deserves his gratitude for being so accommodating.

It's just... why did this man help him like this?Tanjiro looked at the mysterious man in front of him with some doubts.

Is it because of empathy...

Although he had met this man for such a short time, he had already smelled many complicated smells from this man.

Sadness, anger, tenderness.

These emotions made him vaguely feel that perhaps this man had also experienced the same despair as himself.

No matter what, Tanjiro felt that he should thank this man, "Then thank you very much, sir, how can I repay you?"

"No need," Xuan Hao shook his head, "If you really want to repay, then fulfill your promise."

As he spoke, he pointed behind Tanjiro.

"Ugh-"

Tanjiro turned his head and looked into my room, and saw Nezuko huddled together in fear in the shadows, because the sun shone in through the door.

He hurried forward and closed the door.

When he turned around again, the man was no longer behind him.

Tanjiro bowed slightly to the front, then took the stone in his hand and walked to the tombstones of his relatives to engrave their names.

After he finished engraving his name and worshiped, the sun also set.

"Crack-"

Nezuko, who was hiding in the room, carefully opened the door and stuck her head out.

"Woooo."

With a cute voice coming out of Nezuko's mouth, she ran to Tanjirou and hugged him.

"Nedouko, do you remember me?"

Tanjiro looked at Nezuko who was holding him like a child and smiled happily.

He thought that Nezuko would be as crazy as before, but he was finally relieved to see Nezuko's state now, so he should be able to take Nezuko to Sagiri Mountain smoothly.

"It looks like there should be no problem."

Seeing Nezuko in such a state, Xuan Hao, who was hiding in the dark, finally felt relieved and left here.

While Tanjiro and Nezuko were asleep, he had already investigated the area, and there was no trace of Oni Mai Tsuji, not even an ordinary oni. It seems that the guy who turned Nezuko into a ghost has already left up.

Then he will not gain anything if he continues to stay.

……

At the foot of Mount Sagiri.

The last time Lin Takizuo returned to the wooden house where he lived at the foot of the mountain with a bucket of water he had just fetched from the ancient well.

To his surprise, there was a hermit standing at the door.

Since he retired to the second line and became a trainer, the lord has rarely sent anyone to contact him, and only Zhenzhu, Xitu and Yiyong would send letters to report safety from time to time.

"Excuse me... Is your lord looking for me for something?" Lin Takizuo asked the person in front of him with some doubts.

"No, I have something to look for you."

With that said, Xuan Hao took off the scarf on his face.

"Have you seen this face?"

"boom--"

Although Lin Takizuo couldn't see his expression with the tengu mask on his face, his surprise can be seen from his actions at the moment, even the bucket in his hand accidentally fell to the ground.

"You...you are..."

He took a step closer and looked at the face carefully.

"The legendary Lord Ming Zhu?"

There was an unbelievable gleam in Lin Taki Zuo Jinci's eyes.

He has seen this face before. As the previous 'Water' Zhu of the Ghost Killing Team, although his time was very short, he was also responsible for taking care of the adult's body for a period of time decades ago, so seeing this face He froze for a moment.

Because he never thought that this lord would really wake up one day. It is simply a miracle that the characters 500 years ago woke up now.

"Yes, it's me."

Xuan Hao nodded with a smile. Before he came in a hurry, he was worried about what to do if the former Shui Zhu didn't know him.

"Since you know me, it's easier to do."

"You... When did you wake up?" Lin Taki's voice sounded a little excited.

"A few years ago." Xuanhao replied, "But the fewer people who know about this matter, the better, so Ubuyashiki didn't tell everyone."

"I understand." Lin Takizuo nodded again.

What does this man's awakening mean?He who was originally a water column is very clear, because this is the man who once defeated Guiwu Tsuji!
Perhaps the dawn that countless people have been looking forward to is coming!
Prior to this, the secrecy work must be done well, and Guiwu Tsuji must not be aware of it.

"So... my lord, what is the reason why you came to see me?"

Lin Takizuo was a little puzzled recently, obviously the less people who know the better, why did this man appear in front of him and show his true colors?

"Soon, a young man will come to you, he wants to join the ghost killing team" Xuan Hao said straight to the point.

"Of course it's fine..."

Lin Takizuo was a little confused recently, is it just such a simple thing?There is absolutely no need for this man to come and tell him in person. As a trainer, it is his job to teach children who want to join the ghost killing team.

"Excuse me, my lord, is there anything special about this child?"

"Special place..."

Hearing Lin Taki's mention, Xuan Hao realized that he seemed to be a little negligent, perhaps most of his attention was focused on Nezuko, and he didn't even ask the boy's name.

This young man seems to not see anything special except that his encounter is somewhat similar to his own. If he insists on saying something special...

"!"

Xuan Hao suddenly remembered the impressive scar on the boy's forehead.

Wouldn't it be so coincidental...

Suddenly his head was a little confused, no wonder he always felt that there was something wrong, this scar was very similar to the spots on Ji Guoyuan's forehead!

It shouldn't be such a coincidence... Xuan Hao shook his head and denied this idea. After all, stripes are stripes and scars are scars. They are two completely different things, and this young man doesn't seem to have any special talent.

"What's wrong? Master Ming Zhu?" Lin Long looked at Xuan Hao who suddenly fell into deep thought, a little puzzled.

"No, it's nothing." Xuan Hao shook his head slowly, "I didn't ask the boy's name, because I didn't reveal my name. To be honest, I don't know what's special about him."

"Then..." Lin Long was even more confused. What kind of medicine was sold in the gourd in front of this adult, and he showed up in front of him just to recommend a young man who didn't know him at all?This is completely unnecessary!

"Although I don't see anything special about this young man, his sister is very special." Xuan Hao's eyes suddenly became serious.

"His sister is also going to join the Ghost Killing Squad?"

"No, his sister is a ghost."

"!!?"

For the last time, Lin Takizuo suspected that he had heard wrong.

"what's going on?"

"This young man's family was killed by ghosts, and I suspect that Ghost Mai Tsuji did it himself." Xuan Hao frowned and explained, "And his sister was turned into a ghost because of this catastrophe, but His younger sister is very special, she seems to have retained her sanity as a human being, she has not hurt anyone so far, and she even protected this young man when I was probing."

"You mean..." Lin Taki's expression became extremely serious.

"I think this ghost is special, maybe one day she will be the key to solving the dispute between humans and ghosts."

"So you want me to take them in?" Lin Taki asked for the next time.

"No, I want you to leave here temporarily to hide your identity, and tell Yuya Ubuyashiki my decision." Xuanhao's figure disappeared before Rinaki Sakonji's eyes.

When Lin Taki reacted, he only felt a chill on his face.

"My mask..." He touched his face, anyway, the mask on his face was gone, a kind old man's face was exposed in the air, his eyes were full of shock.

Such a fast speed... Lin Taki's back was already drenched in cold sweat, if this adult hadn't been on the side of the Ghost Killing Squad, the consequences would have been disastrous.

He turned around slowly, and saw that this man had already held his mask in his hands.

"I'm covering these two people." Xuan Hao slowly put the mask on his face, "From now on, I'm the trainer of the Ghost Killing Team——Rin Taki Zuo Jinji. Is it okay?"

"No...no problem." Lin Long was a little ashamed.

He probably understood what the man meant.

Although I don't know why, this man seems to want to protect the siblings.

Letting a boy with a younger sister who turned into a ghost join the Ghost Killing Team... This is obviously against the Ghost Killing Team's regulations, and it can even be called a betrayal of the Ghost Killing Team.

But since it is the adult's decision, presumably the lord has no way to object.

"You need a reasonable identity to facilitate your actions, right?" Lin Long guessed Xuanhao's plan easily. The existence of this man must be kept secret, but if he keeps pretending to be 'hidden', it won't work, but there is The identity of the predecessor 'Water Column' is different.

Even the aged 'Water Column' is much stronger than ordinary swordsmen, and can even display column-level strength in a short period of time, which is perfect for concealing the identity of this adult.

The key is……

Among the pillars, he is the only one who has the habit of wearing a mask. As long as he explains clearly to Yi Yong and the others, no one will doubt the identity of this adult.

"Hehe." Xuan Hao nodded with a light smile, "It's best if you can understand, then take off your coat for me too?"

It is really worrying to hand over his sister to others to protect him, but if he stays by Tanjirou's side in a hidden identity and reveals his strength, it will easily cause Wu Mi's misunderstanding.

The identity of Lin Taki Zuo Jinci was the best solution he could think of.

This ex-ghost slaying team 'Water Column' has been wearing a tengu mask and is powerful, which is just right for him to cover up his identity.

The Ghost Killing Squad is already understaffed. It's just that he, the 'Old Shuizhu', has come back. It's not surprising, is it?
······
Sunset.

Tanjiro, who had been walking for a whole day with Nezuko on his back, put the pannier wrapped in black cloth on his back on the ground after the sun went down.

"Nezuko, you can come out now."

He untied the wrapped black cloth, and softly called his sister's name.

In the back basket, Nezuko, who had shrunk her body, looked up at the dark sky, and then poked her head out of the back bag cautiously.

Tanjiro stretched out his hand and lifted Nezuko, who had turned into a child, out of the pannier.

Soon, Nezuko's body began to grow bigger, supporting the loose clothes that were dragged on the ground.

"So nice."

Tanjiro gently touched Nezuko's head as if coaxing a child, and pointed to a dilapidated small Buddhist hall in the distance, "There is a small Buddhist hall in front of it, and the lights are still on. It seems that there are people living there. Let's go How about staying overnight? You have to be obedient and don't scare anyone."

Saying that, Tanjiro took Nezuko's hand and walked towards the small Buddhist hall.

Under normal circumstances, Nezuko looks no different from normal people. He is very fond of his sister's appearance, and he will never scare people. As long as you don't say that Nezuko is a ghost, who would believe that such a cute girl is a ghost.

But as soon as he took a few steps, a bloody smell floated into Tanjirou's nose along the breeze.

"Is anyone hurt?"

Tanjiro led Nezuko to quicken his pace with some doubts.

This section of the mountain road was quite steep, and he was thinking that someone might have been injured while climbing the mountain.

Maybe it's the smell of human blood covering up the smell of ghosts, or maybe it's Tanjiro's habit of being an ordinary person for many years and he doesn't realize that there is something wrong.

It wasn't until he took Nezuko and pushed open the door of the Buddhist hall that he realized that he was careless.

When the door was pushed open, a strong smell of blood came over his face, making Tanjiro's face turn pale.

The two men and two women seemed to be two couples traveling. They fell in a pool of blood in despair. Even after they died, their faces still had expressions of fear, and they couldn't even close their eyes.
