In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 126: The Heroic Courage
But the snow kept falling heavier and heavier, as if after the arrival of winter, God was going to release all the reserves accumulated over three seasons at once. It snowed for three days and three nights in a row.

Qingshui sat under the eaves, wiping the Sun Blade and watching the wind and snow gradually subside.

It's almost dawn, it's time to set off.

……

……

The heavy snow pressed the green pine, and the green pine was straight and straight.

The snow in the mountains is very deep, but if you use chakra to absorb it on the soles of your feet, you can walk on the water as if it were flat ground, let alone the snow.

"Tsk, are you late after all?"

Qingshui walked in the snow forest, feeling the strong smell of blood coming from the front, and couldn't help shaking his head.

There was a sound of fierce fighting coming from the woods next to them. Qingshui pushed aside the bushes and walked over.

A female ghost with a pretty face but a ferocious expression is protecting a young man holding an axe with both hands.

Opposite them was a young man with a cold expression and complicated eyes.

It turned out to be the Kamado siblings and Tomioka Giyu.

Fortunately, Tanjiro Kamado is still alive, so the Fire God Kagura has not been lost.

Now, it’s time to find a way to dig the God of Fire Kagura out of Tanjiro’s body.

In just a short moment, Qingshui already had an idea in his mind.

"A member of the Demon Slayer Corps?"

Seeing Shimizu, Tomioka Giyu frowned slightly.

At this time, because Nezuko's behavior was different from that of ordinary evil spirits, he had already come up with the idea of saving the Kamado siblings, and even planned to take them to Sagiri Mountain and hand them over to his most trusted master, Urokodaki Sakonji, to take care of them.

But Shimizu's arrival made Giyu Tomioka hesitate.

What if this member of the Demon Slayer Corps wants to kill the boy’s sister?
Do you want to send him away first?
Before Tomioka Giyu could speak, Shimizu spoke first:

"I didn't expect that Shuizhu would be here. It seems that you have also investigated the origins of this family?"

Where did this family come from?

“Does their origins have any meaning?”

Tomioka Giyudo.

Shimizu rolled his eyes at Tomioka Giyuu.

"What you want to say is, is there something special about their family's origins?"

"Yes, you are quite good at talking."

Several black lines appeared on Qingshui's forehead.

So the actual meaning of this sentence is that my previous translation of your sentence was correct, right? Why does it sound so sarcastic?
Combined with Tomioka Giyu's expression as cold as ice, it seemed more like a mockery. If it was the hot-tempered Fuzugawa Sane who appeared here, he would definitely have drawn his sword and started fighting.

"What are you guys talking about?"

Tanjiro stood beside Nezuko, holding an axe for chopping wood.

"I had asked you to come down the mountain, but you were unwilling to leave. Otherwise, the tragedy that befell your family would not have happened."

Tanjiro dropped his axe to the ground, stunned.

"how come……"

When someone invited their family to go down the mountain, Tanjiro discussed with his mother Aoi and they both agreed that it would be more convenient to chop wood and make charcoal on the mountain, so they declined the invitation.

But this action actually killed an entire family?
"Do you know that there is a ghost trying to harm them today? Then do you know that the only ones who can turn people into ghosts are Muzan and the Twelve Kizuki?" Tomioka Giyuu questioned Shimizu.

"How do I know when the ghost will come to them?"

Qingshui shook his head and said:

"Do you remember what I said before? The origin of the Kamado family is not ordinary. After conjecturing and summarizing the information recorded in all the ancient books that my Uesugi clan has found through their connections, I found that the Kamado family is very likely related to the ancestor swordsman who created the breathing method."

"It is recorded in the classics that he was the most powerful swordsman in the Demon Slayer Corps so far. He even nearly killed the Demon King Muzan at one point. However, his breathing method was too strong and no one could learn it at the time. Therefore, it was transformed into a dance to worship the God of Fire and passed down among the people in a very secretive way."

"Muzan will not allow the existence of any power that can harm him in this world, so sooner or later the Kamado family will be visited by demons in order to erase all traces of the original swordsman who almost killed Muzan."

Tomioka Giyuu turned his head and looked at Tanjiro.

"So, does your family have that kind of dance to worship the fire god? If not, then your family died in vain."

Shimizu looked at Tomioka Giyu's serious expression and couldn't help but cover his forehead.

This guy must really feel sorry for me, right?

With this guy's weird way of speaking, how could he still be alive today?

I guess it’s because he’s strong enough that he hasn’t been killed yet!

"A dance dedicated to the God of Fire... Kagura of the God of Fire..."

Tanjiro looked down at his own reflection on the axe blade and muttered softly.

"Very good, then I have it."

Shimizu walked to Tanjiro's side and held Tanjiro's shoulder under Nezuko's vigilant gaze.

"It can actually hold back from attacking. It's completely different from other ghosts. Senior Yiyong, don't you think this ghost is amazing?"

After saying that, without waiting for Tomioka Giyuu to answer, Shimizu looked at Tanjiro again.

"We are ghost hunters from the Demon Slayer Corps, specializing in killing ghosts like your sister."

Tanjiro hurriedly raised his axe and protected Nezuko in front of him.

"But I think Senior Giyuu probably thinks the same as I do that your sister is a special ghost. Maybe she doesn't need to be killed, but if she is seen by other ghost hunters, she will definitely die."

Shimizu pointed at Tomioka Giyu again.

"Do you want to save your sister?"

Tanjiro nodded firmly.

"I'll teach you! Why don't you use the Fire God Kagura in your hand as a bargaining chip? You should do this..."

Shimizu kept chattering in front of Tanjiro, scaring the simple farm boy.

Shimizu didn't think he was fooling Tanjiro.

Although in the original time and space, after Nezuko's situation was discovered two years later, Tomioka Giyugi forced the Demon Slayer Corps to agree with Tanjiro Kamado's approach by saying, "If Nezuko Kamado eats people, then he and Urokodaki Sakonji will commit suicide by seppuku," but that was based on the fact that they had been together for two years.

Urokodaki Sakonji and the Kamado siblings already regard each other as family, and Tomioka Giyuu also regards Urokodaki Sakonji as a family member.

The guarantee of one water column plus one previous water column is very valuable, but the operation of clear water is also feasible.

Of course, Shimizu must have selfish motives, because if he doesn't do this, how can he make Tanjiro take out the God of Fire Kagura as soon as possible?

Tomioka Giyu stood aside, listening to Shimizu's story, and finally said:

"I really envy your brain for being able to think of such a difficult thing so simply."
