People are dying on the pillar, and there is no misery at the beginning

Chapter 162 – Ji Guoyuan and Zaomen Tanji

creak...

Accompanied by the sound of the wooden door closing, Tomioka dead man left the room with no expression on his face.

He will save the family's future.

He believes he will.

The flame in the heart of the boy representing hope is still burning.

He burns, in the darkness of nothingness, in areas visible only to himself.

In this already corrupt mountain.

But behind him are countless clansmen who are lost in the darkness.

He will burn, bringing a light that can orientate even for a moment.

Just like the last retainer who illuminated Setsuna.

As a result, the successive lights will illuminate the long night in the future.

This is the meaning of the existence of the flame.

They come to light up the darkness, with the purpose of extinguishing it.

……

"Depart after a while, and come back immediately after getting the blue Bana flower, do you understand?"

Wu Mi squinted his eyes, he turned into a man again, and was suppressing the excitement in his heart.

"Understood." The voice of Tomioka dead man resounded in the night.

……

……

Narrow Mist.

Towns down the mountain.

Yuanyi ran wildly all the way, and left the maternity house after the monk Quanna bid farewell just after nightfall.

In less than two hours, Yuanyi arrived at Sawu Mountain.

And, just met Udo who was waiting for him.

"Leaving so early, is your body really okay?"

Ji Guoyuan gently supported Yu Duo who was full of smiles, he lowered his head and asked worriedly:

"It's only been a month since that time, you should rest more..."

"Mr. Yuanyi, you don't have to worry."

At this time, Zhu Shi, who was standing at the door of the doctor's hall, said with a smile: "Mrs. Uta's body is recovering very well, and she is also full of energy."

Yu Duo quickly nodded and said:

"That's right, Yuanyi, look, set off at this time, wait until it's daytime on the way, and it won't be evening when you come back."

"I won't see any ghosts on the way back, so Yuanyi can spend less time worrying~"

"I'm also relieved to leave the child in Miss Zhushi's care."

"That's right." Uta poked Ji Guoyuan with his hand with a smile.

"...I see." Hearing persuasion from many parties, Yuanyi's worried heart was slightly relieved.

In fact, how could Yuanyi, who has a transparent world, not be able to see Yuta's physical condition, he just didn't dare to make even the slightest mistake on Yuta.

"So, let's go?" Yu Duo put her hand behind her, she took a few steps forward, and then looked back at Ji Guo Yuan Yi.

"...Well, let's go."

……

at the same time.

"Let's go." An emotional voice sounded in the darkness.

……

In the Ubuyashiki mansion.

Shang Quannai was lying on the roof, quietly looking at the shimmering moon in the sky.

Now Yuanyi is a little far away, and he didn't take the crow with him. If Yan wins something at this time, I'm afraid the plan will be ruined.

No.

He sat up and looked in the direction of Sagiri Mountain.

——Let’s go with him.

……

Ji Guoyuan and Uta used to be in the house.

Mingming Yuanyi hasn't come back for a long time, but there are lights in the room.

The warm light penetrates the room through the gaps between the wooden boards.

inside the room.

A man in a green and dark brown Ichimatsu-patterned haori with pigtails sits smiling on a tatami mat.

He said he was a man, but he was actually less than twenty, very young, but he already had a wife.

"Zhu Mizi, it's not okay to go to bed without eating." He smiled wryly, picked up the porridge with clear water and mixed grains on the table, and sat next to his wife.

"Come on, open your mouth..." He held the porridge in one hand, and gently moved the bowl to his wife's mouth.

His wife's name is Zhu Mizi. She has long black hair, a turban on her head, and likes to wear light-colored kimonos.

She is a girl with a girlish and innocent personality.

Zhu Mizi's belly swelled slightly, as if she was pregnant.

She stretched out her hand lazily and pushed away the bowl handed by her husband, her voice was already very tired:
"I know~ but I'm already very sleepy... there's nothing I can do~"

"Okay~Tanji, why don't you come and sleep together..."

"sleepy…"

As he said that, Zhu Mizi already had a vague feeling of falling asleep, and his breathing gradually became even.

"Yes." Seeing this, Tanji put down the porridge helplessly, but soon a smile appeared on his face again.

His wife is lethargic and sometimes falls asleep while walking on the side of the road.

What's more, it's already night now, and it's only natural that I want to sleep.

Tanji glanced at the oil lamp next to him, and then looked around the small room.

About a few days ago, he and his newly pregnant wife found the abandoned house.

Although it looks like it has been unoccupied for a long time, it is full of dust, and the corners of the house are also broken.

But the furnishings in the room are very careful, and people can even feel the temperature inside, revealing a warm atmosphere.

The previous owner of the house must have loved this place very much, even the bamboo path outside the house was so meticulously arranged.

With Tanji's efforts to renovate, in less than half a day, the house was restored to a livable level.

He also repaired the board in the corner of the house that seemed to be knocked open by a wild boar.

Here...maybe it will become his and Zhu Mizi's future home.

Tanji thought, and lay down slowly. He looked sideways at his wife beside him, with a happy smile on his face.

It's just that for some unknown reason, the previous owner of the house left here.

Tanji shrugged his nose, he could smell it.

Gathered here, the breath that has not dissipated for a long time, suppresses the nostrils sadly.

Hope it's not such a bad thing.

Tanji slowly closed his eyes, the corners of his eyes were already moist.

At this moment, Zhu Mizi, who was already sound asleep, opened her eyes slightly. She glanced at Tanji who was facing her face, and blinked with some doubts.

Then, she smiled and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Really, why are you crying like this..."

"Don't cry, don't cry..."

Zhu Mizi stroked Tanji's sleeping head, and slowly fell asleep himself.

……

At this moment, not far away.

"I'm so hungry... I can't do it anymore..."

"Humans... Where are humans..."

A distorted figure crawled on the ground, his voice was very hoarse, and his movements were very stiff.

"That lord's order...you will die..."

"If this continues...you will die..."

"It's all about death..."

He raised his head abruptly, his scarlet pupils reflected strange bloodlust under the moonlight.

"I want to eat…"

……

After a while.

"Creak...creak..." There was a sound of wood being squeezed vigorously.

"!!"

Tanji, who was sleeping soundly, woke up suddenly, due to an instinctive reaction, he held the ax beside him, sat up, and fixed his eyes on the direction of the door.

Then, he followed the shaking of the wooden boards of the house and looked at the wall next to him.

What a big shaking range!
The sound of creaking and creaking keeps coming, someone or an animal is coming!
No, such a large shaking range, is it a bear!

Is there a bear on this mountain? It turns out that is the case. If this is the case, it is understandable that the owner of the previous house left...

While thinking, Tanji held his own breath, for fear that the "bear" outside the house would notice his existence.

In times of war, it is obvious that self-preservation is needed.

sniff.

Tanji shrugged his nose, he didn't smell the bear.

His hand holding the ax also loosened slightly.

animal?Or human?

People who come here at this time... Are they deserters from the battlefield?
But the next moment Tanji was thinking, there was an extremely stench, deep in the nasal cavity, and the smell of sore tonsils came!
"Cough cough! Cough!" He couldn't help coughing violently a few times.

Bloody smell, very strong bloody smell...

And, it's the stink of human blood...

This is, how many people were killed...

Tanji's pupils shrank suddenly, he turned his head, gently pushed Zhu Mizi's shoulder, and then looked at the door of the house with a horrified expression.

Because, the creaking sound just now came from the board being stepped on!

And now, that voice has stopped!
Stopped at the door of the house!

This incidates that--

——The other party stopped at the door!

Tanji clenched the ax tightly, and Zhu Mizi beside him also slowly woke up.

Zhu Mizi just opened his sleepy eyes.

She vaguely saw her husband's cautious expression in the darkness, and she, who lived in troubled times, immediately reacted.

Is it someone... a deserter again?
Her pink eyes instantly woke up, she stepped back quietly, touched her slightly protruding abdomen, and leaned against the innermost part of the house.

"Zhu Mizi, if something breaks in later, I'll hold him back."

"You take the opportunity to run out through the open door and don't look back."

Tanji lowered his voice, he was already feeling extremely anxious at the moment, and his hand holding the ax was a little brittle.

Zhu Mizi looked at Tanji's appearance, she pursed her lips, and then reached out to hold Tanji's arm:

"Tanji!"

Tanji was taken aback for a moment, then turned his face to meet Zhu Mizi's pink eyes.

"Don't say such things."

"We are already family, aren't we?" Zhu Mizi's body temperature passed through the kimono to Tankichi, and he looked at Zhu Mizi in a daze.

The trembling hand holding the ax suddenly became firm.

Tanji's frowning brows relaxed, he nodded, and gently held Zhu Mizi's hand with his other hand: "Well, we are family."

While the two were talking secretly, the strange human figure outside the house began to twist.

"Humans! Humans! Living humans!"

A lot of saliva began to be secreted quickly, and the evil ghost could hardly restrain his appetite.

Can you eat?
In my mind, the adult's order sounded again.

However, this time, under the inducement of the aroma of food, he completely lost his last rationality!
boom! !

He pushed hard!The two doors with the door frames were torn apart!
Because he hasn't eaten for too long, his strength has been greatly weakened, otherwise he could directly open this house!

But in the imagination, the two people who saw the frightened faces did not appear.

Instead, a figure in a light-colored kimono quickly rushed to his face!

Da da da! !

"Disrupting other people's sleep! What an annoyance!"

Zhu Mizi trotted all the way on clogs, she stared at the evil spirit who broke the door, her pink eyes were full of anger.

Then, caught off guard by the evil spirit, she raised her head and slammed forward!
"Ho!"

boom! !

Zhu Mizi's forehead hit the evil spirit's forehead heavily!

"…what…"

The evil ghost, who hadn't eaten for a long time, didn't react for a while, and was smashed hard.

The evil ghost staggered back two steps, and then fell straight to the ground.

"Tanji! Run!"

Zhu Mizi turned his head and shouted at Tanji who was a little dazed.

"Oh...oh!" Tanji quickly realized, holding the axe, he hurriedly grabbed Zhu Mizi's hand, pulled her and began to run down the mountain.

Tanji looked at the clogs on Zhu Mizi's feet, stretched out his hand a little while running, and skillfully carried Zhu Mizi on his back.

Start running faster!
While running, he didn't forget to touch Zhu Mizi's forehead in doubt, with a worried face.

At this time, the evil spirit who had fallen in front of the house also came to life. He sat up in disbelief and shook his head.

In emotions, followed by endless anger!
The veins on the evil ghost's neck popped up, he turned his head, and stared fiercely at the backs of the two who were running away!
Just two humans!

I was actually attacked by humans!
hateful!

He crawled on the ground, his body began to twist strangely.

The anger made his temperament change drastically, ferocious horns grew on the top of his head, and the whites of his eyes instantly turned dark red, making him look very impressive in the dark night!

Whoosh-! !

The evil spirit violently exerted its limbs!It was ejected in an instant!
Straight to the back of Tanji and Zhu Mizi!
"Be careful! Zhu Mizi!"

Tanji's attention was all behind him, and when he heard the whistling wind, he quickly embraced Zhu Mizi who was carrying him in his arms!
Then, he slammed the ax behind him!
Swish!
when!
The sound of gold and iron colliding came, and the huge counter-shock force was transmitted to Tanji along the axe, causing his arms to go numb from the shock!
Tanji looked back in shock.

The evil spirit bit his ax tightly, and then he squeezed his teeth hard!

creak!collapse!

The ax made of iron broke into several pieces so easily!
Tanji's pupils shrank, and he looked at the evil ghost that was approaching him, knowing in his heart that he had no way out.

He could only lift his leg, kicked the evil spirit hard, and pushed Zhu Mizi away:

"Run!"

"Tanji!" Zhu Mizi's pink pupils reflected Tanji and the evil ghost in front of him.

at this time!

Hey!
There was a crisp sound of clogs hitting the ground, and there was only one sound very strangely.

next moment!
hum-

Swish! !

Just when Tanji thought he was going to die, a gust of warm wind suddenly blew over.

Then, in his dazed eyes, he seemed to see a figure standing in front of him!

Tanji fell to the ground in a daze, and suddenly a large piece of dazzling fire lighted up in the dark night, so bright that he couldn't open his eyes.

But he resisted the discomfort coming from his eyes, and looked in front of him through the gap between his fingers!

Then, he slowly opened his eyes wide.

Where is the fire!
It was clearly a person holding a bright red blade!
I saw the man in dark red feathers holding a fiery blade, as if waving a flame, and slashed the blade across the neck of the evil spirit without hindrance.

Afterwards, he gently put the knife back into its sheath, turned around, and looked at Tanji and Zhu Mizi who were beside him.
