Demon Slayer: Tanjuro Kamado returns from Sekiro

Chapter 136 - Eternal Bliss Sect
Butterfly House.

Kanzaki Aoi stood at the gate of Butterfly House. She looked worriedly in the direction outside the door, and did not return to her senses for a long time.

In his hand, he clenched the Sun Lun Sword that had never been taken out of its sheath.

Hesitated for a long time.

tread.

Her eyes trembled, but she stepped out of the butterfly house with one step.

……

……

night.

The shadows of the trees were dancing, and the breeze blew through the treetops, swaying slightly.

Two figures, one in front and one behind, were walking hard through the mountains.

click.

The gravel fell off the mountain as the two walked and rolled down the slope.

"Mr. Buddha beads...are you really okay?"

With gravel under her feet, the woman walking behind the believer turned around worriedly and glanced at the dark woods behind her.

The clothes on her body were a little shabby, and her hands were holding each other unconsciously and rubbing them.

There were obvious signs of mending on the clothes, and the elbows that were exposed due to damage also looked dirty.

She is a wandering girl who took the opportunity to escape during the riots in Yoshihara Flower Street some time ago.

I thought I had finally escaped from hell.

But because of his identity and growing up in Yoshiwara, he didn't know how to work at all.

Eventually he was reduced to begging on the streets.

She looked at the backs of the believers in front of her with uneasy eyes, and her tone was hesitant:

"Um, is your Wanle Sect really in this kind of... deep mountain?"

His hands were held together in fear, as if he was ready to escape at any time.

after all…

The woman looked at the luxuriously dressed believers in front of her, holding Buddhist beads in their hands.

As long as you follow his religion, you can live in the state you want without doing any hard work.

——The more I think about it, the more suspicious it becomes!

In addition, we are now traveling in more and more remote directions!
No matter how stupid you are, you can still notice something is wrong!

After hearing the woman's words, the believer's progress stopped slightly.

In his hand, he twirled the rosary twice thoughtfully.

"Haha." The believer's expression suddenly changed, and then he turned back with a smile and comforted softly:

"Go through the mortal world calmly, and those who observe freedom will be liberated - this is the teaching I teach, don't worry."

The narrowed eyes slowly opened, and the moonlight was faintly reflected in the dark forest:

"The Eternal Bliss Sect is right ahead."

As he spoke, the believer stretched out a hand and pointed to the distance among the treetops of the forest:

"Look."

The woman looked in the direction of his finger.

The sight passes through the treetops and the mountains in the distance.

Among the layers of woods, there are some inconspicuous temple-like buildings.

The lights there were brightly lit, which seemed incompatible with the darkness surrounding it.

If you listen carefully, you can indeed faintly hear the sounds of singing and cheering.

Seeing the woman's stunned look, the believer withdrew his eyes, turned back with a smile, and hummed softly.

——Ignorant mortals.

Then I strolled forward, and the voice gradually faded away:

"When you meet the patriarch, you will understand everything."

The woman's eyes wandered back and forth between the temple in the distance and the backs of the believers who were gradually walking away in front of them.

Her pupils trembled, and she subconsciously wanted to turn her head.

But suddenly he caught a glimpse of his extremely worn clothes and his dirty hair in his peripheral vision.

The ear shell echoes what the believer said to himself when he was begging on the street during the day:

[No need to do anything hard or don’t want to do]

[Live with a stable and happy attitude]
[This is the church I belong to—Eternal Bliss Sect]

He stared blankly at his worn-out straw sandals.

She slowly raised her head and took a step forward as if she was lost.

step, step...

Just as the woman gradually quickened her pace and caught up with the progress of the believers.

In front.

A fork in the forest path.

After a day of traveling, Tanjuro and the others finally arrived near the temple at night.

"Mr. Cultist——"

Butterfly Ninja smiled and asked softly to the front: "Are you here yet?"

now.

"Why bother?" The bald cultist with a bruised nose and swollen face was sniffing the tip of his nose uncomfortably, muttering reluctantly in a low voice:

"Come on, it's just ahead."

"Ah?!" Behind him, Immortal Sichuan, who had several bows tied in his hair, heard this and stared at him with splitting eyes, looking very unkind:

"What's your tone?!"

Snapped!He squeezed the bald man's shoulders with his hands.

At this time.

tread.

Light footsteps sounded from the other side of the road.

Immortal River glared at the bald head, then slowly backed away and stood back among the crowd.

soon.

Believers holding prayer beads walked out from the other intersection of the fork in the road.

The two believers looked at each other at the Y-shaped fork in the road.

After a moment of hesitation.

"——Sanjo? Is it you!?"

The Buddhist beads believer subconsciously shouted out the other person's name. He seemed a little excited and forgot to move the beads in his hand:

"You are finally back!"

Under the dim moonlight, he walked over with a face full of joy, and for a while he could not clearly see the appearance of the bald believer.

Subconsciously look behind the other person.

Looking at the dark figure following behind him, he couldn't help but sigh:

"As expected of you! You bring back many high-quality new believers every time!"

When the bald cultist heard this, he glanced at the people behind him and saw that none of them responded. He could only smile with the corner of his mouth pulled up: "...Well, haha."

The Buddhist beads believer smiled and patted the bald head on the shoulder: "Aren't you being humble this time? The patriarch has been waiting for you for a long time..."

At this time.

After getting closer, the bald face became clearer.

Traces of bruises and swelling on the face were also vaguely visible.

He saw that the other party looked like he had been beaten many times.

The Buddhist beads believer was a little surprised for a moment, his tone was choked, his brows furrowed, he took a step back and pointed at the bald head:

"How...are you...in such a mess..."

After looking closer, he saw the bald head winking.

He tilted his head in confusion.

suddenly!

Swish!
Among the figures behind the bald man, a figure in a blue kimono suddenly appeared.

"Ehehehaha!"

Inosuke leaped into the air, the blue kimono tightly restricting his movements, but he still released himself to his heart's content.

pat.

He landed behind the Buddhist bead believers, tilted his head backwards, and his beautiful face with makeup was full of excitement: "I'm here!"

A rough voice shouted to the Buddhist beads believers:

"Eat my head!"

"——What?!" The Buddha Bead believer wanted to turn his head in surprise, his wide eyes full of panic.

then.

boom!
Inosuke hit the bead believer who was caught off guard hard on the side of the neck with his mallet!
"Pfft, ho!"

The beads believer's eyes suddenly turned white, his body staggered, and his head jerked back.

The whole person jumped and fell to the ground as if unconscious.

He stretched out his hand hard, trying to point at the bald head, but in the end he could only fall down helplessly.

Sleep like a baby.

The bald cultist witnessed the whole process in a daze, and he slowly looked at his colleague who was lying on the ground.

grunt.

Swallowing in fear.

I thought I would be able to be a little more arrogant when I arrived at my own territory soon...

He sighed secretly - it seems that it still doesn't work. "Hahaha!" Inosuke stood on the spot, slowly straightened up, with a beautiful curve at the corner of his mouth, and clenched his fists:

"What! You know how powerful I am!"

His eyes were full of pride.

——This is the headbutt he practices against trees day and night, in preparation for a showdown with Tanjiro!

On his forehead, a lump gradually appeared.

behind.

Swish!
"Who told you -" Yusui Tianyuan appeared behind Inosuke with a dark face:

"——Acting at will!?"

Snapped!
A slap on the top of his head.

"Ugh!" Inosuke gritted his teeth, covered the painful head of his head, and squatted down with a sigh of relief.

In his eyes, there was hidden fighting spirit against Yusui Tianyuan.

not far away.

"……Eh?"

The wandering girl in shabby clothes walked hesitantly, blinking her eyes, staring at the Buddhist beads believer who had fallen to the ground in a daze:
"What happened…?"

He raised his eyes in confusion and looked at Inosuke and the others.

After seeing clearly the tall Yu Sui Tianyuan and the vague figures of the people behind him.

"Hey!" She turned pale with fright, not caring about the believer lying on the ground.

He turned around quickly, staggering away in the opposite direction with tears in his eyes.

--really!Following this guy is not a good choice!

Tatata!
Tanjuro stood behind a few people. He moved his eyes to look at Yunu, who was running away not far away.

——Ordinary people...were they also fooled?

Seeing the other party's panic, Tanjuro lowered his head slightly.

He poked the bulge in his arms and called softly: "Gopachiro, Gobachiro."

"Gah?" Gopachiro's head emerged from Tanjuro's arms, and it shook its crow's head in confusion.

Tanjuro pointed in the direction of the girl, and lowered his voice:

"Follow her, don't let her meet the ghost."

"Gah!" Gangpachiro nodded, and it got out of its body, flapped its wings, and flew high into the sky.

……

for a long time.

The crowd moved on.

The gate of the Paradise Temple.

"——Sanjou?!"

The believer guarding the gate was holding a cannon. He looked at the bald believer in front of him in surprise: "You..."

His tone hesitated and he looked behind Sanjo.

Inosuke and the Tokito brothers stood at the front with deathly expressions on their faces.

Looking back, he saw the Butterfly Ninja who was smiling coldly, and Banai with a bandage on his face.

"...Well done." After a moment of silence, the believer guarding the gate nodded to Sanjou in admiration:

"As expected of you."

"Haha." Sanjou pulled his neck and managed to laugh twice, his voice hoarse: "Then, let us go over."

The three bruised and swollen faces had long been covered by thick makeup.

"Of course." The believer nodded and gave up his position as a matter of course.

Watching Sanjou leaving with a few people, the believer hugged the cannon in his arms and stood guard on the stone steps again.

aside.

In the dense woods.

Tanjuro opened the transparent world, restrained his own aura, and freely climbed over the wall from the woods and entered the temple.

"Uh! Uh!!"

Yusui Tianyuan carried the struggling Immortal River on his back and hid in a nearby tree, quietly observing the surrounding environment.

He squinted his eyes, scanned the brightly lit and prosperous temple, and murmured in a low voice:

"...These people are living quite comfortably."

in the temple.

The light shines through the windows, and people are everywhere raising their glasses, laughing and singing loudly.

……

……

at the same time.

The Temple of Bliss Religion.

Main shrine.

Hazy gauze ribbons hang from the ceiling.

In the dim room, there was faint moonlight filtering through the window, passing through the diffuse dust, forming beams of soft light.

The walls were engraved with gold-inlaid lotus patterns, which shone brightly in the blood stains.

"Ah, Your Excellency Yiwozuo is actually dead?"

Tong Mo was sitting on a soft futon in the middle of the room, leaning on the huge futon with a surprised expression.

Snapped!
He opened the folding fan to cover his face, and the look of astonishment on his face was extremely exquisite:
"...No wonder, I couldn't feel his breath. I thought it was..."

Tong Mo hesitated for a moment, then immediately smiled and shook his head:

"Well, since you said that, Lord Wuhan, then my perception must be wrong."

before.

A creature that looks like an eyeball and has roots at its base is supporting its body with short tentacles.

It looked at Tongmo.

The creature swayed its tentacles slightly, as if it was saying something.

Sudden.

"Hey." Tong Mo straightened up and let out a long surprised sound, then seemed to be talking to something:
"Then in this case, I will be the only one left with the string..."

He stretched out his finger and pointed, staring blankly at the raised index finger.

All the ghosts in my mind seemed to be dead.

After a long time, Tong Mo put away his fan with an expression on his face and sighed sadly:
"It's so lonely——"

At this time.

The eyeball in front of him flicked its tentacles.

"Don't worry about that."

Wu Kuai's cold voice sounded in Tong Mo's ears. His tone at the moment was very impatient, as if he was in a hurry:

"Is there any news about the cyan Hibiscus flower?"

After learning the lesson that the consciousness was stored in Fallen Princess' body and could not be separated for a while.

He decided to store the visions one by one in Narume's vampire technique.

Rather than directly controlling the winding body.

After all - while controlling the body, the transmission of pain is real.

Hearing this, Tong Mo's smile faded slightly. Even he would not dare to report bad things with a playful smile:

"Unfortunately, you have already seen the objects with similar properties found now."

Wu Mi fell into silence.

At this time.

dong dong dong.

Outside the spacious room, next to the ornately decorated sliding door.

The dull sound of knocking on the door sounded slowly.

Tong Mo carefully glanced at Wuxian with eyeballs, and when he saw that the other party showed no sign of anger, he frowned and wanted to reprimand the believers outside the door for their impoliteness.

"I'm sorry, Master Jiaozu."

The believer outside the door spoke anxiously first, his voice trembling slightly as he shouted:

"Master Sanjo is back, he said, he said-"

The believer took a sharp breath and said in a hoarse voice:
"——He found the blue Higan flower!"

heard.

pat.

The tentacles of the eyeballs twitched suddenly, and the pupils instantly looked in the direction outside the door.

……

……

Outside.

In the dark corridor.

Xiaobanai stopped at the end of the corridor, guarding the entrance.

The believer who had just tipped off the news was already unconscious and fell to the ground, and the Butterfly Ninja was slowly releasing the drugged hand covering his mouth.

Tanjuro stood on one side of the door.

Yusui Tianyuan was hiding in the compartment of the ceiling. He listened carefully to the sounds in the room.

"...This is the fastest way to see the ancestor."

The bald cultist became much more arrogant, he said with a smile.

Immortal Kawa Saneya was leaning against the wall. He held the bald cultist with one hand and pulled out the blade with the other hand. The handle of the knife was slightly pressed against his neck.

His bloodshot eyes were staring straight at the place behind the door.
