Zongman: Unlock the Heroic Spirit Heritage from Demon Slayer

Butterfly Dance looked apologetic, and Zhengu shook his head to indicate that it was okay.

"Something has been strange lately."

"Recently, people who go into the mountains to dig herbs have frequently gone missing."

"At first, it was just some elderly people, and later, even strong young men were missing."

"That's why no one is willing to go up the mountain to collect herbs."

"It was not until a month ago that more than half a year passed before everyone began to gradually resume collecting herbs."

"Among them, there were also young girls who went up the mountain to collect herbs. Most of them were there to supplement their family income, but most of them are missing!"

"We organized a group of people to go into the mountains to search, but we only found some fragments of clothing."

"However, in order to avoid panic, we did not make too much announcement. We just said there were ferocious animals in the mountains and advised everyone not to go into the mountains."

"Fragments? Can I see them?" Zhengu asked to see the fragments of clothes.

Thanks to the Butterfly family's reputation in the area, the found fragments are also stored in their home.

"that's it."

Soon, Butterfly Dance brought the pieces of clothing.

Put the real rice in your hand and observe it carefully.

"The cuts on these fragments are very neat, and they must have been caused by a sharp object."

"It seems that it is definitely not a ferocious beast."

Then she put the fabric to her nose again and sniffed it gently.

Now, Zhengu came to a conclusion.

"It's definitely a ghost!"

Thanks to good storage, Zhengu barely smelled the scent of a ghost.

After hearing the professional judgment, Butterfly Dance had to accept the reality and was sad alone.

"Are those ghosts really the ones causing trouble?"

Zhengu noticed that something seemed wrong with Butterfly Dance, so he asked tentatively:

"Ma'am, have you guessed it a long time ago?"

"How...how could that be? I just found out about this now."

Butterfly Dance was a little flustered and simply evaded the question. Butterfly Dance did guess it, but it was only after she met Zhen Gu.

The Demon Slayer Corps will not appear easily, but once they appear, it means there are traces of demons in this area!

She was so sad only because the two long-silent terms, Demon Slayer Corps and Demon, reminded her of the past.

Then she immediately adjusted herself and changed the subject.

"It's almost noon now, why don't you have dinner at my house?"

"Will it bother you?"

"How could that be! Our two daughters will love you very much."

The Butterfly family actually has two children, daughters, which was beyond Zhen Gu's expectations.

You know, in this era, having two daughters in a row can easily cause family conflicts.

But on Madame Butterfly's face, there was no worry, but more happiness.

"I'm sure Mr. Butterfly loves you very much. Sorry to bother you."

Considering many factors, Zhengu finally chose to stay.

I think the most well-informed place in this town is this clinic.

"Of course, we have always been in love."

"I'll go call out those two good-for-nothing kids and let them meet you."

After that, Butterfly Dance called her daughters' names and walked into the house.

"Kanae, Shinobu? We have a guest!"

The sound becomes gradually fainter as the distance increases.

But then he became flustered again.

"Kanae! Shinobu! Where are you?"

Seeing that there was no one in the house, a sense of worry suddenly welled up in Butterfly Dance's heart. She remembered that Butterfly Shinobu had secretly hidden a small hoe for digging herbs last night.

"Oh no! They went to the mountain!"

Chapter 14: The target is actually me?

It was a false alarm, of course.

Zhen Gu and Hu Die Wu, who were about to go out, turned around and ran into the two sisters who had returned.

Looking at their crying mother, the two Butterfly sisters were at a loss for a moment.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Kanae's question was met with a big hug.

The two sisters were held in their mother's arms, becoming even more confused.

"Mother, what happened?" Shinobu looked at his sister.

Kanae shook her head, indicating that she had no idea.

"You two, come in!"

The mother, who had just shown her true emotions, suddenly changed her expression, shouted harshly, and turned and walked inside.

Zhen Gu said nothing, but gave a look, telling the two sisters to hurry up and follow.

Who is this girl? She is so beautiful!

The two sisters didn't have time

The four of them returned to the back room.

……

"Now you know how dangerous it is!"

"Oh, it's also my fault for not telling you about it."

After explaining to her two daughters, Hudiewu's anger finally subsided and she fell into fear.

"What if you..."

Seeing this, the Butterfly sisters knelt down on either side of their mother to comfort her.

"Mom, we know we were wrong, please don't be angry."

"Shinobu and I are lucky. We are back."

Zhen Gu also helped to smooth things over, and the storm was finally settled.

Finally, the two sisters began to ask about the origin of Zhengu.

"Mother, who is this guy?" Shinobu Kocho was impatient and asked first.

"Shinobu, don't be rude to guests!" Kanae tapped her sister's forehead with her fingers.

Shinobu Kocho was used to speaking without restraint at home, so she just realized her slip of the tongue. She looked at Shinkomo guiltily, her eyes full of apology.

Zhen Gugu calmly smiled and accepted her apology.

"This is Shinkomo from the Demon Slayer Corps, a swordsman who has come here specially to slay demons."

Butterfly Dancer stroked her little daughter's head with her hand and also saw the exquisite hairpin.

The workmanship is very delicate, and it doesn't look cheap. I guess it was given by Chane. She knows her eldest daughter well.

"Demon Slayer?" Shinobu Kocho was a little surprised.

Although I don't know what ghosts are, I just learned from my mother that many strong young men in the town have died at the hands of ghosts.

Can such a thin girl deal with ghosts?

"Don't worry. Although I am not as skilled as my junior brother, I am more than capable of dealing with ordinary ghosts."

After saying that, Zhengu pointed to the Nichirin Sword at his waist.

"I have killed several ghosts, please rest assured."

A knife with a hint of dark red is worth a thousand words.

This little girl in front of them, who is not much older than them, has seen red on her hands!

……

in the afternoon

"Then please take me to explore the situation in the town."

Standing in front of Zhengu were two sisters who had just escaped from home.

"Okay, okay! But you have to tell me about killing ghosts!"

Shinobu Kocho, who is lively by nature, seems to be particularly interested in killing demons.

Zhengu said there was no problem.

With the help of the two Butterfly sisters, the investigation went smoothly.

Before the sun set, Zhengu roughly understood the ghost's goal.

First, the targets of attacks shifted from ordinary people to young and beautiful women.

Secondly, even women who managed to return from the mountain would be abducted at night.

Then, the ghost seemed to have a sharp weapon, and the doors of many houses were split in two.

"A beautiful young woman..."

“We still have to go up the mountain…”

Zhengu began to think according to the clues he got.

"People who meet these conditions..."

"It can't be us!" Kanae covered her mouth and said in disbelief.

That’s right, it now seems that the ghost’s most likely targets are these two people.

The last rays of sunset gradually faded away.

Zhen Gu didn't care about anything else and just grabbed the two of them and ran towards the clinic.

"Let's go back first!"

……

医馆

The Butterfly family of four, plus Zhengu, a total of five people, were sitting in the living room.

The truth is always hard to accept.

Butterfly Dance, who had just calmed down, almost fainted from anger.

"You must save these two children!"

"I will do my best to protect them."

After saying that, Butterfly Dance took out a yellowed booklet from her chest.

"This thing was left behind by a swordsman. She saved my husband and me from an ice-using ghost."

"But she died a few days later because she inhaled too many ice crystals."

"This book is what she realized after the battle. Regardless of success or failure, it can be considered as our family's way of thanking her."

Zhen Gu took the booklet, which had the words "Breath of Ice" written on it, and sighed.

"I guess he had a sudden realization before he died, so he created this breathing method."
