From Demon Slayer: Thunder Swordsman

Tanjuro has a lot of skills, but he would rather starve and not have enough food than abandon his wife and children and go down the mountain to make a living.

(I, Tanjuro, am such a family-oriented man!)

If he wanted to go down the mountain, he would have done it long ago and wouldn't have to wait for me to come over.

"Mr. Tanjuro!" Kujo Tachibana said in a serious tone:

"You know what! There are many powerful characters among the evil spirits!"

"You have already killed four man-eating evil ghosts in this mountain. The next time they come, they will no longer be the same small evil ghosts as before!"

"It's not that I underestimate your strength, I'm just afraid you really can't handle it."

"Besides, even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about your wife and children!"

"What do they do when you leave home and go out to work?"

"And you should have noticed that your wife is probably pregnant again!"

Kujo Tachibana's words forced Tanjuro to consider his opinion. Yes! His wife is pregnant again...

Hmm! Why did this guy also know that Kuizhi was pregnant? ?

Seeing Tanjuro's reaction, Kujo Tachibana also understood his thoughts, so he began to explain:

"Because in my eyes, this world is also transparent."

Tanjuro suddenly realized, although he didn't know that his special perception was called "transparent world", but he still understood what Kujo Tachibana said about the transparent world, because this was the world in his eyes.

Thinking of this, Tanjuro, who knew that Kujo Tachibana was a "kind of person" like him, couldn't help but be curious and carefully sensed Kujo Tachibana's body.

...

!!!

The moment he sensed Kujo Tachibana's lungs, Tanjuro stood up in shock!

Quickly taking down the axe hanging on the wall, Tanjuro frowned, looked at Kujo Tachibana and asked softly:

"Are you a human or a ghost? Why did you come to our house?"

Jiujo Ju slapped his head helplessly. Did you just notice it now?

This is too slow!

"My right lung was injured in a battle with an evil spirit, so it has lost its function. You can feel it carefully."

"But I'm still human, and I still need to breathe. It's just that the way I breathe is a little different from you. That's why I came to you to learn the God of Fire Kagura."

Tanjuro was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he put down the axe in his hand and apologized to Kujo Tachibana very sincerely.

"I'm sorry! I was rude."

Jiujo Tachibana smiled faintly, but didn't care. He just said helplessly:

"So you can understand how powerful the evil spirits are?"

"To be honest, even if I can't use the breathing method now, you will not be my opponent."

"Think about it, even when I was not injured, there were evil spirits that I couldn't deal with."

"Can you really protect your family here by yourself? If something bad really happens, you will definitely regret it."

Kujo Tachibana's "mouth-to-mouth" made Tanjuro's expression extremely complicated.

Before he could figure it out, Zaomen Kuizhi had already come into the main house with several meals.

"Juro and little brother, it's time to eat. If you have anything to say, let's talk after dinner."

Tanjuro then came to his senses and stood up to take the dishes and chopsticks from his wife.

The children of the Kamado family also came into the main house one after another. The Japanese popular practice of separate dining was adopted, and in front of each of them, a portion of food had already been placed.

As a guest, it goes without saying that Kujo Tachibana serves the best food, as these are the ingredients that the Kamado family would normally be reluctant to eat.

Jiujo Ju didn't show any strange expression. He just quietly finished his meal and then stopped.

“It tastes delicious, thank you for the treat!”

Then Kujo Tachibana looked at Tanjuro, who had also put down his chopsticks, and asked:

"Mr. Tanjuro, are you done eating?"

"If you're done eating, can you take me out for a walk?"

Tanjuro nodded, stood up and walked out of the house with Kujo Tachibana.

After the two of them left the wooden house for a distance.

Kujo Tachibana then said, "Mr. Tanjuro, your physical condition doesn't seem to be very healthy!"

Tanjuro looked down at the town at the foot of the mountain and said softly, "They are just old problems. They won't cause any trouble."

Jiujo Tachibana shook his head. What a stubborn man.

"Mr. Tanjuro!"

"Even if you don't care about the attacks of evil spirits."

"So do you want Tanjiro to be like you in the future?"

"You are hiding in this mountain, raising your children on an empty stomach?"

"Then like you, he left this world early at the age of thirty because of the heavy physical labor and the hunger that never filled his stomach?"

"You can't even take care of your own children?"

Without waiting for Tanjuro to answer, Kujo Tachibana walked down the mountain.

"Mr. Tanjuro, please think carefully about what I said today!"

"I will come again tomorrow. If you still have this idea, then I will respect your choice."

...

Looking at Kujo Tachibana who had already reached the mountainside, Tanjuro took a deep breath and shouted:

"Brother, you are right."

"Thank you!"

Kujo Tachibana smiled slightly when he heard this. In fact, even if Tanjuro was unwilling, Kujo Tachibana would tell Ubuyashiki Yoya about Tanjuro.

Let Yaoya send people to their house to bother him every day!

I just don't believe it, how can I stop him from moving out?

It would be better if Tanjuro could figure it out himself. Kujo Tachibana raised his hand and summoned the crow "Zhong Kui" in the sky, asking it to convey Tanjuro's news to Yaoya through oral narration.

This message consists of only three sentences:

"My Lord, I have brought you a 'Yang Pillar'!"

"He can breathe the sun!"

"Send someone to pick them up immediately!"

Chapter 43 Is Jin Lin a thing in the pond?

At night, on Mt. Kumotori, in front of Tanjuro’s house.

I saw Tanjuro wearing a formal suit that he only wore during sacrifices.

At this moment, they are gathered around the campfire, holding wooden instruments in their hands, as if they are tireless, constantly repeating the twelve sets of movements over and over again.

Kujo Tachibana sat quietly aside, holding the iron-headed boy Tanjiro who was only seven or eight years old at the time.

"Tanjiro, please watch carefully."

“Pay attention to the way your father breathes.”

The iron-headed boy Tanjiro nodded seriously.

"Tanjiro will definitely study hard."

"Once Tanjiro learns it, father won't have to work so hard anymore. Tanjiro can take his place."

Kujo Tachibana smiled, and then stopped being distracted, and just focused on feeling the changes in Tanjuro's body and the way he breathed.

This is the first time that Tachibana has truly witnessed the power of Sun Breathing!

It really is worthy of being that man's exclusive breathing method. In Kujo Tachibana's perception, Tanjuro at this moment seemed to have turned into a whole in his eyes. He didn't look like a person, but like a huge hot fireball.

Every inch of flesh and blood in his body was dancing slowly to the rhythm of his own breathing!

This magical way of breathing naturally and unleashes the power that is normally hidden within the human body.

At this moment, in the eyes of Kujo Tachibana, the twelve sets of movements of the Fire God Kagura are no longer simply sword moves.

Instead, it is more like the human body's natural movements in accordance with this breathing method!

...

I see! I see!

No wonder that man's breathing was so powerful!

Kujo Tachibana seemed to have found the answer he wanted.

The human body itself contains infinite mysteries.

What he should do now is not to deliberately pursue any special breathing method. He should feel and listen carefully to his own body.

In fact, his body had already given him the answer!

At this moment, Jiujo Ju thought of that man again.

Yes, this is also one of the reasons why Tsugumi Yuichiro is naturally strong, right?

Because he was born with the ability to see through the world, when the man was an infant and had not yet developed self-awareness, his body's instinct drove him to constantly adjust his breathing.

Until this baby, who was born with a transparent world, self-adjusted and developed a breathing method that best suits his body!

(I think my deduction is pretty cool, that's probably it.)

Of course, Sun Breathing is most suitable for Yoriichirō's body, but that doesn't mean others can't use it.

After all, breathing techniques are essentially just a way to strengthen the human body.

This is probably the reason why Yoriichi was able to separate the five basic styles of breathing techniques from the Sun Breathing!

-

Kujo Tachibana relaxed his body, opened all the pores on his body, and took a long breath of air to calm his excited emotions.

After his mind calmed down, Kujo Tachibana completely integrated his perception and spirit into his body.

Feeling the feedback from every part of the body due to breathing, the joy of cells... the roar of muscles... the overloaded bones and muscles...

In this way, Jiujo Tachibana constantly adjusted the frequency and rhythm of the external pores' breathing based on these subtle feedbacks from various parts of the body...

However, before Kujo Tachibana could finish much of his work.

The next second, an accident happened.

I saw Jiu Tiaoju's head tilted and he fell asleep.

...

The next morning, Jiujo Ju finally woke up slowly.

"Father, Uncle Kujo is awake!" The iron-headed boy Tanjiro shouted loudly to Tanjuro who was outside the house.

After a while, Tanjuro came in, looked at Kujo Tachibana and said:

"Are you okay? Tanjiro was scared to death last night."

Kujo Tachibana looked at Tanjiro, smiled and said:

"I'm fine, thank you Tanjiro."

After feeling his physical condition, he found that he did not feel any discomfort at the moment. As for the abnormal situation last night, Jiujo Tachibana probably guessed the reason.

The reason why he fainted last night was most likely due to a special symptom called "oxygen intoxication".

In Kujo Tachibana's previous life, Blue Star explained that since the human body has just adapted to the low-oxygen environment of the plateau, it will become unadapted again when it re-enters an area with relatively normal oxygen content.

This will lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, drowsiness, chest tightness, dizziness, and even diarrhea, which is called "deadaptation reaction" or "low-altitude reaction".
