A Dimensional Journey Begins with the Dragon Clan

Chapter 398

early morning.

Inside the dilapidated wooden house.

Nezuko fell asleep peacefully under the covers.

She has been sleeping for two years since Tanjiro brought her here.

If she wasn't still breathing, even her brother Tanjiro would suspect that she was dead.

Not far from the sleeping Nezuko.

Tanjirou knelt respectfully in front of Xuan Hao who was disguised as "Rin Taki Sakonji", and listened carefully to the teacher's last instructions before he left.

"According to the current information of the ghost killing team, there is only one ghost in this world who can use its own blood to turn humans into ghosts. You should know who I am referring to?" Xuan Hao asked in a deep voice.

"It's the Oni King you mentioned before, is Onimai Tsuji Muchan?" Hearing the teacher mention this matter again, Tanjiro's expression became a little dignified.

"Yes, Oni Wu Tsuji was the first person to become a ghost more than 1000 years ago. He is the enemy who killed your family. It may also be the key to turning Nezuko back into a human being." Xuan Hao said, "At present Humans haven't mastered the method to restore human beings who have turned into ghosts, but if it's the king of ghosts, Musai Onimai Tsuji might know something."

"What does the teacher mean... If I want to help Nezuko turn back into a human, do I have to find Mumai Tsuji?"

"Yes, this is one of the tasks I want to give you."

Xuan Hao nodded slightly, "However, Guiwu Tsuji has been hiding for a long time, and it will not be so easy to find him..."

"Ghost Mai Tsuji is the strongest ghost in this world, and it is also the root of ghosts. As long as you kill him, there will be no ghosts in this world. But even if you find him, with your current strength, maybe you can't. It will be his opponent, so be careful, understand?"

"I see, teacher!"

Tanjiro looked serious, "I will definitely find a way to turn Nezuko back into a human, so I will definitely find Onimai Tsuji no Mie!"

Whether it is for the family members who have died, or to prevent more people from suffering the same fate as himself, Tanjiro believes that he must find a way to turn human beings back into ghosts, and he must find a way to kill this ghost king.

"That's good." Xuan Hao nodded slowly, looking at the determined boy in front of him with some relief, "Now you can leave here and go to Fujishishan to participate in the 'final selection'."

"Yes, sir! It's just..."

Saying that, Tanjiro set his eyes on Nezuko who was still in a coma.

Nezuko has been sleeping here for two years. As an older brother, it is impossible to say that he is not worried, but the teacher has been reassuring him that Nezuko will be fine, so that he can concentrate on training.

"Don't worry."

Noticing Tanjiro's gaze, Xuanhao also cast his gaze on Nezuko, and the gaze under the mask became much softer.

"Nezuko is different from ordinary ghosts. In her current state, she should be using sleep instead of eating human flesh to restore her physical strength. You must know that if ordinary ghosts do not eat human flesh and blood for two years, they will fall into a state of depression. In a state of madness."

"Is that so?"

The worry on Tanjiro's face dissipated a little bit, he now has 100% trust in the teacher's words, "Then... Nezuko will trouble the teacher for the time being, after passing the 'final selection', I will rush back soon! "

"What trouble is not trouble."

Xuan Hao tapped Tanjiro's head lightly, making a crisp sound.

This boy's head...is not ordinary iron.

"I've been taking care of Nezuko for nearly two years, don't worry, let's go."

"Ah! Yes, teacher!"

Tanjiro held his head, which hurt a little from being knocked.

After Tanjiro left with the Hirinto, Xuanhao focused his attention on Nezuko who was sleeping beside him.

"What's next?"

He looked at Nezuko with some headaches.

With Tanjiro's strength close to the column, he is not worried about what will happen in the final selection, but the most critical issue now is Nezuko.

In the past two years, he also tried to find a way to turn Nezuko back into a human being, but unfortunately he couldn't find a way.

After Wu Mi's blood is injected into the human body, it will cause mutations in the cells in the human body. Mutations are not damage, what is needed is remodeling rather than repairing, so even if Xuan Hao wants to use the power he currently has to repair it, it will have no effect at all.

As for other methods, such as using his blood to change the blood in Nezuko’s body, it’s not that he hasn’t thought about it, but it’s too risky to do so, no one knows what kind of chemical reaction the ghost will cause after receiving his blood ', it is impossible for him to risk Nezuko.

And even if it's impossible for Wu Mi to monitor every move of every ghost, if someone tries to tamper with a ghost's bloodline, Wu Mi can't detect it.

"So I can only ignore it for now? But..."

Xuan Hao's brows became tighter and tighter.

Because if Nezuko can't be turned back into a human being, even if he finds Onimai Tsuji, he will become helpless.

Wu Mi is the root of ghosts, if Wu Mi dies, then the ghosts who received Wu Mi's blood will also be wiped out, this is the most troublesome place.

"No matter what, you have to find a way to get Nezuko out of Wu Mi's control..."

Xuan Hao recalled whether there was a way to get the ghost out of Wu Mi's control.

Finally, he remembered a special ghost - Zhu Shi.

Although he doesn't know whether Zhu Shi is still alive after 500 years, he clearly remembers that Zhu Shi escaped from Wu Mi's control through unexpected circumstances.

He remembered that the condition for Zhu Shi to get rid of Wu Mi's control seemed to be because Wu Mi was severely injured by Ji Guoyuan, seriously injured and weak!
And if the current Zhu Shi is still alive, after so many years, maybe she will have other ways to get rid of Wu Mi's control...

"It looks like I have to go find her again."

After sorting out his thoughts, Xuan Hao decided to meet the ghost named Zhu Shi again.

It's just that now he obviously has no way to leave here, Tanjiro hasn't come back yet, Nezuko is also in a coma, he has to stay temporarily to take care of Nezuko.

"Let's talk about it after Tanjirou comes back..."

"Boom-thump-thump-"

Just when Xuan Hao was thinking, the door of the wooden house was knocked lightly.

"Boom-thump-thump-"

It seemed to be out of politeness, the other party knocked on the door very regularly, and such a wooden door was actually easy to push open directly.

Xuan Hao frowned and looked in the direction of the door, Ubuyashiki?What are you doing here at this time?
Even without opening the door, he could clearly sense the identity of the person coming from outside.

Three in total.

With a carriage.

Sitting in the carriage were Yuya Miyayashiki and his wife Amayashiki Amane who accompanied him.

Because it was daytime, there were no swordsmen from the Demon Slayer Squad as guards, and only one Yin as the driver.

Yin knocked on the door very politely, but there was no response for a long time, he thought it was because there was no one in the room.

"Okay, no need to knock."

Obstetrician Shiki Yoya got out of the carriage with some difficulty under the support of his wife.

"Yes." After receiving Ubayashiki's order, Kami stepped aside respectfully.

With the support of his wife, Yuya Miyayashiki walked slowly to the door of the wooden house.

"Mr. Xuan Hao, Yuzai Miyashiki took the liberty to ask for an interview."

He stood respectfully at the door, waiting for the response from the people in the room.

Yin on the side looked at his lord's respectful behavior with some surprise. He remembered that no one in the ghost killing team seemed to be able to make the lord so respectful?
The obstetrician Shiki Amane at the side seemed to have known about this for a long time, but also respectfully supported her husband and saluted to the closed wooden door.

"Why did you come here?"

Xuan Hao pushed open the door and looked at Yoya Yashiki who needed someone to support him even standing up.

He didn't understand why Yuya Miyayashiki came here.

This man is suffering from a serious illness, and he should not have a long life span. As the spiritual leader of the ghost killing team, what this man should do now is to rest in the mansion and try to live for a while before he can lead the ghosts better. Kill the team to fight.

If you have anything to do, you can send the letter directly through the crow, there is no need to travel and travel in person to visit.

"Mr. Xuanhao, can I go in and talk again?"

Yuya Ubuyashiki smiled at the man in front of him, he could no longer see, but he could feel a person standing in front of him, blocking the way.

As for why Xuan Hao blocked the door to prevent them from entering, he had already heard about it from Lin Long Zuo Kinji.

"Okay, but the two of them have to stay outside."

"of course."

Miyayashiki Yoya patted the hand of his wife who was supporting him, and motioned her to step away first.

"But you..."

Ubayashiki Amane seemed to let go of the hand supporting her husband with some hesitation, the current Ubayashiki Yoya should no longer be able to walk around on her own.

"It's ok."

A reassuring smile appeared on Yuya Ubuyashiki's face.

He gently pushed his wife away, and stood there staggeringly, looking so weak that he would fall if the wind blows.

"Ugh……"

Xuan Hao sighed helplessly looking at the appearance of Yoya Miyashiki who couldn't even walk steadily, so why did he have to be brave to come here?

He gently put his hand on Maternity Shiki's shoulder.

Yuya Ubuyashiki was slightly taken aback, and the expression on his face became a little surprised.

Because from the moment this man touched him, he felt his body seemed to come alive again.

He raised his head, facing Xuan Hao with a puzzled expression, as if he still couldn't understand what happened.

"Come in and talk."

Xuan Hao put a little force on the hand on Yuya Yuya's shoulder, and under the guidance of this force, Yuyashiki walked into the room smoothly.

The wooden door closed gently.

The two sat beside the sleeping Nezuko, and the atmosphere fell into a brief silence.

"Sir, what did you do to me just now?"

Yuya Ubuyashiki felt the sudden changes in his body, and asked the man in front of him curiously.

He could clearly feel that since he came into contact with this man just now, his physical condition has improved a lot. His originally frail body seemed to show signs of regaining vitality. His body was constantly necrotic and collapsing due to the 'curse'. But at this moment, it seemed that an inexplicable force was repairing the necrotic cells in his body and bringing new vitality to his body.

"You know, I used the same method to save Purgatory Shinichiro 500 years ago." Xuan Hao replied.

"I see."

Yuya Ubuyashiki nodded slowly.

He had only seen this incident in the family records, and he never thought that he would be able to personally experience this magical power.

According to the records handed down by the family, Xuan Hao fell into a deep sleep immediately after rescuing Purgatory Shinichiro. This way of saving people should consume a lot of energy, but after seeing Xuan Hao helping him now, it seems that he has nothing to do. The strenuous look made Yuya Ubuyashiki's confidence in Xuan Hao's ability to defeat Ki Wu Tsuji Mumi a little bit stronger.

It looks like I did nothing wrong.Ubayashiki sighed in his heart, after 500 years of slumber, the current Master Mingzhu may be stronger than before, so it is only a matter of time before the ghosts are completely cleared from this world.

"Thank you sir for your help."

Ubuyashiki, who was kneeling on the tatami mat, bowed down and saluted the man in front of him.

"It's just a hands-on effort."

Xuan Hao waved his hand, "Your physical condition is very bad. I can't completely cure it now, but it should allow you to persist for a while."

He just checked the physical condition of Yoya Shiki at the maternity house, and it is a bit euphemistic to describe it as bad, obviously only in his twenties, but his whole body looks like a dying old man, many parts of which have been necrotic.

But it was just repairing the body of an ordinary person. Xuanhao thought he could do it, but when the power was applied to Yoya Ubuyashiki, he was surprised to find that even if it was repaired, it would not work.

Because there seems to be some kind of 'curse' on Ubuyashiki's body, even if the necrotic tissues are repaired, they will quickly collapse again. All he can do is help Ubuyashiki Yoya to delay the time.

It is said that the Ubayashiki clan is like this because of the "curse" of a guy like Muyou in the family. It is said that only by killing Muyou Onimai Tsuji can the "curse" be lifted.

This made Xuan Hao completely unable to understand where such a "curse" came from, because there seemed to be no connection between these two things, and such a "curse" was completely beyond common sense. Misfortune to solve it...then this can only be explained by 'divine power'.

"Enough is enough."

Ubuyashiki Yoya is extremely grateful for this, he knows his own physical condition best, this curse has been going on in their family for thousands of years, and they don't know any other way to solve it besides killing Wu Mi.

But now with Xuan Hao's help, he is very content to be able to live for a longer period of time.

"I will make good use of the rest of my life to help Mr. find the ghost of Tsuji Tsuji."

"Ah."

Xuan Hao nodded slightly.

"Tell me, why did you come here to find me?"

Ubuyashiki Yoya didn't answer, but turned to Nezuko who was sleeping in the bed beside her.

With the help of Xuan Hao, although his eyes that had almost lost their light could not see the things in front of him as clearly as before, they could barely see some blurred outlines.

He reached out and stroked the sleeping girl's forehead.

"What a poor child..."

Feeling the girl's breathing sound as if she was in deep sleep, Yuya Miyayashiki sighed, "This is the special child that Mr. Rinaki mentioned when he sent me a message, right?"

He heard from Lin Taki about this girl's past, and she was a poor child whose family was ruined by Onimai Tsujimu. It is said that the whole family was killed by Wuyou, leaving only one older brother who was forced to become a ghost.

"Her name is Nezuko." Xuan Hao said, "I have been sleeping like this for two years, and I have never hurt anyone since I became a ghost."

"Nezuko? It's really special."

Yoya Ubuyashiki had a soft smile on his face.

Although he couldn't see clearly, he couldn't feel anything similar to a ghost from this sleeping girl. The sleeping girl really looked like an ordinary girl.

"Has her brother already joined the Demon Slayer Squad?" Ubayashiki asked.

"It's not a coincidence for you to come, Tanjiro just left to participate in the final selection not long ago." Xuanhao replied.

"I see. Is it Tanjiro? I will keep an eye on this child." Ubuyashiki smiled.

"Thank you very much then." Xuan Hao nodded, "Are you here just to ask these questions?"

"Yes."

Yoya Zaiyashiki nodded lightly.

He thought he had to come and confirm the situation about Nezuko himself.

Because the things involved are a bit too big, the man in front of him is the hope of the Ghost Slaying Team, and this "hope" suddenly cares about and even protects a ghost, which makes him a little nervous.

"Mr. Xuanhao firmly believes that Nezuko will be the key to solving the problem between humans and ghosts?"

Yuya Ubuyashiki raised his head, facing the man in front of him, as if he wanted to confirm something.

"I don't know if it can solve the problem of humans and ghosts, but I'm sure Nidouzi is special." Xuan Hao replied affirmatively.

"I understand."

Yuya Miyayashiki nodded lightly, "But... she is a ghost after all, and I am the protagonist of the Demon Slayer Squad."

Saying that, Ubuyashiki put his hand on Nezuko's head again and stroked it gently, as if coaxing a sleeping child.

"Mr. Xuanhao, please let me put an insurance on her?"

Ubuyashiki asked Xuanhao for instructions, "You know, after all, I am the protagonist of the Demon Slayer Squad, so the first thing I guarantee is the safety of human beings."

"What do you want to do?"

Seeing Ubuyashiki's actions, Xuan Hao frowned.

Ubuyashiki smiled and said, "I don't know how to do anything, but I just want to ask, Mr. Xuanhao... what kind of future do you want this child to have in the future?"

"What kind of future?"

Xuan Hao was slightly taken aback.

Because this is exactly the problem that has troubled him for a long time. Nezuko is already very unfortunate. He can't think of any future that can make this child happy.

"Huh...huh..."

The room fell into a brief silence, only the sound of Nezuko's even breathing could be heard.

This girl, who is only 14 years old and still a little childish, looks so sweet and peaceful when she is sleeping at the moment, no one will think that she is a ghost, and no one will be able to see what she has experienced. of despair.

Xuan Hao looked at the sleeping girl quietly, "She... only has one older brother left."

"That's right." Ubuyashiki Yoya was also somewhat moved by Midouko's experience.

There was another long silence, and Xuan Hao spoke again to break the silence, "But even so, I hope she can have a happy future."

"I see."

Yoya Miyayashiki, who was quietly waiting for Xuan Hao's answer, was slightly taken aback, he noticed the sadness and tenderness in the eyes of this extremely powerful man.

"Did you hear that? Nezuko."

Ubuyashiki Yoya smiled and caressed Nezuko's forehead, and a gentle voice like a spring breeze came out of his mouth, as if it could go straight to the heart.

"Ugh..."

The sleeping Nezuko whimpered softly, as if responding to his words.

"We all wish you a happy future."

Yuya Ubuyashiki raised his head and spoke softly, as if he was speaking to the sleeping Nezuko, as if he was comforting Xuan Hao in front of him, and as if he was talking to himself.

"But... the future of mankind has never been determined by others."

"You can't lose to ghosts, you have to protect your family."

"A happy future must be fought for by ourselves."
