A dimensional journey starting from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 373 Chapter 366. The ghost hunter who kills ghosts with his bare hands

"It's so sad..." Just like Jiguo Enichi said.

sorrow? Sad again! ? Hearing the man holding his brother's body and leaving in front of him say the same words as his brother, the ghost-turned-ghost Iwakatsu looked ferocious and his whole body was shaking violently.

But he found that he couldn't move. Why? Fear! ? Yes, he was afraid. He didn't know whether it was because of the fear in his heart or the fear of the blood in his body. He didn't dare to make a move towards the man in front of him and could only watch the man leave.

Damn it, damn it, damn it! Jiguo Yansheng was angry in his heart, but he couldn't even roar out his anger. He had already vowed to become stronger, and he wanted to win! He had to become strong enough to be victorious forever, otherwise why would he choose to look like this? ?

But what about now? One monster after another is pressing on his head! Jiguo Yansheng had no idea where he lost.

"Click——"

The sound of something breaking came from the dark mansion.

The owner of this mansion is a man who appears to be between twenty-five and twenty-nine years old.

But this man had a pair of red plum-colored eyes, with upright and slender pupils like a cat. His face was bloodless, and he looked like a vampire.

If he behaved more dignified, he might have the feeling of a 'vampire aristocrat'.

But now he looked ferocious, and even the wine glass in his hand was crushed to pieces. Scarlet blood fell down his arm and dripped on the floor.

This was not his blood, but the liquid in the chalice.

That's right, the wine glass was filled not with wine but with human blood. Of course, he was not a vampire, but the 'King of Ghosts' Muzan Kibutsuji.

Just now, he sensed news from one of his strongest ghosts, the Black Death Mou, that Ji Guoyuan was dead.

This should be a happy thing. He has been hiding for more than sixty years, and finally he can no longer be sneaky! But when he checked Hei Shimo's memory in order to confirm the authenticity of the information, he suddenly felt his heart stop.

He saw the men who had once frightened him, and not just one, but two together!

One is named Jiguo Enichi, and there is another... He doesn't know the name, but that rusty sword is unmistakable! He won't forget this sword. After he became a ghost, he had only two swords to cut him, one was the red blade in Ji Guoyuan's hand, and the other was the rusty sword in this man's hand!

Jiguo Enichi is indeed dead, but what happened to the other man! ? Why does he still look so young like me? ? Is he also a ghost? ?

No no no, impossible! As the ghost king, Tsuji Muzan was very sure that this man could not be a ghost.

Did this man take the full pill? No! The doctor has been killed by me. How could there be a more perfect creature than me in this world? Wu Kai didn't want to believe this fact.

If this is the case, there is only one possibility left, yes, this must be the descendant of that man!

Kibutsuji Mumei could only comfort himself in this way, because the last time he met that man was more than sixty years ago!

How could human beings still look the same after more than sixty years? Moreover, that man disappeared inexplicably fifty years ago. He always thought that the other man was dead. The only person in the world who could threaten him was Jiguo Enichi. As long as Jiguo Enichi could survive, he would be invincible!

But now that he has been hiding for so many years and finally survived Jiguo Enichi, he just saw hope and a pervert suddenly appeared! He could only think that this was someone who could threaten him again after more than sixty years among the descendants of that man.

"No! We have to kill him, find a way to kill him, and his descendants, we must eradicate him!"

Onibutsuji Muzan's face was ferocious, his eyes full of hatred and anger.

But even though he said that, how could he kill that man? Even Hei Shimo is so vulnerable in front of him...

"Damn it..."

Oniwu Tsuji Muzan grabbed his hair with both hands, his sharp nails digging into his skin and drawing out blood.

It is impossible for him to take the risk himself. It is too dangerous. The fear he felt at the time is still unforgettable to this day. Even if this person is really just a descendant of that person now, the power he shows is enough to threaten him. He cannot take risks. .

Is it possible that we can only survive until this man dies of old age?

"That's all..."

Ghost Dance Tsuji Muzan's face was gloomy, "Here comes someone!"

"Yes! Sir."

A dark figure emerged from the shadows and knelt down respectfully in front of Kibutsuji Muzan. The figure lowered his head, as if he did not dare to look up at the man in front of him.

"I want those idiots to calm down and report to me immediately if they find a man with a rusty sword hanging on his waist, do you understand?"

"Yes, my lord."

The figure slowly merged into the darkness, and something seemed to be engraved in the fleeting ferocious eyes.

…

Just when Oniwu Tsuji was having a headache, Xuanhao was preparing to bury Jiguo Enichi.

By looking at Enichi Tsukuni's life memories, he learned that this man had been kicked out of the Demon Slayer Corps. Because he made a mistake and let go of the ghost king and another female ghost, and his brother also betrayed humans and became a ghost. Such 'sinners' cannot stay in the Demon Slayer Corps.

"I really... don't know how to describe this man."

The more he learned about this man's past, the more Xuan Hao felt that this man was too kind. He clearly did nothing wrong, but he endured everything on his own without resenting anyone. He still remained with the Demon Slayer Corps after leaving the Demon Slayer Corps. Continue to kill ghosts. Even after leaving the Demon Slayer Corps, this man continued to fight to protect others throughout his life.

Maybe it's because he knows there are many kind people in this world who need his protection?

For example, the lord who is only 6 years old but is more reasonable than all the members of the Demon Slayer Corps, and the family members he left behind in the Demon Slayer Corps.

The members of the Uyashiki clan keep their promises. Since Enichi Tsukuni left the Demon Slayer Corps, his family members who stayed in the Demon Slayer Corps have lived a good life. Every head of the Uyashiki clan remembers the promise made by his elders to Enichi Sikuni .

Xuanhao followed Jiguo Yuanyi's memory and came to a place full of wisteria trees.

This is the place where the anonymous descendants of Ji Guoyuan live. Wisteria is the flower that ghosts hate most because it is poisonous to ghosts. Therefore, this place is as peaceful as a paradise, and few ghosts are willing to come near it.

However, Jiguo Yuanyi seems to have not been here for a long time.

Perhaps because he knew that he would be resented by Muzan Kibutsuji, Enichi Tsukuni asked his descendants to change their surname after his wife passed away. He did not teach them breathing techniques and had little contact with them after that.

As if feeling the withering of life, the breeze blows, and the petals of the wisteria tree begin to drift all over the sky.

The petals fell on the old man in Xuan Hao's arms. Under the sunlight, the old man seemed to be asleep.

When Xuanhao walked into the courtyard carrying Jiguo Yuanyi's remains, the young man who was farming on the farmland in the courtyard jumped and hurried back to the back room to call for help.

With the support of the young man, an old woman over sixty years old came out of the house.

Xuanhao knew that this was Jiguo Yuanyi's daughter, but his impression of this old woman only stayed at the infant stage... It seemed that this was a life that he had witnessed with his own eyes.

"Time is so ruthless."

He sighed slightly and placed the remains of Enichi Tsukoku in front of the old woman.

The old woman's body was trembling slightly, and tears could not stop pouring from her eyes.

She hadn't seen her father for a long time, and she didn't expect that he would look like this when they met again.

"Excuse me...who are you?" She looked at the man in front of her who was sending her father's remains home with some confusion. I always feel like I have seen this person before, but I just can't remember it no matter how hard I recall it.

"I'm from the Demon Slayer Squad. The Lord said that Mr. Enichi would want to go home, so he sent me to take him back."

Xuan Hao did not reveal his true identity because he knew that the reason why Jiguo Yuanyi allowed his descendants to remain anonymous and not even learn breathing techniques was to just be ordinary people. Perhaps he did not want them to get involved in disputes, so it was better not to follow them. It's better to make connections yourself.

"Mr. Enichi is a great man. He is the pride of the Demon Slayer Corps. No, he should be the pride of mankind."

"thanks, thanks……"

The old woman and her descendants bowed and thanked Xuan Hao.

They had no doubts about what Xuanhao said, because the Uyashiki clan had always paid attention to their family's lives and would send people to bring them things from time to time.

Xuan Hao shook his head slightly, said goodbye and left here.

"Demon Slayer Squad?"

Speaking of the Demon Slayer Squad and ghosts, Xuan Hao suddenly remembered something important.

The 'King of Ghosts' that Tsuji Yuen mentioned in his mouth was Ghost Dance Tsuji Muzan.

He seems to have... seen it before!

"Ah...how careless you are."

Xuan Hao scratched his head.

After reading Tsukuni Enichi's memories, he discovered that the ghost he met in the forest that night was the so-called "Ghost King", and he immediately regretted why he didn't kill it easily.

But after thinking about it carefully, I didn't seem to be able to kill that kind of guy. The opponent was a 'crumb' that could self-destruct into more than 1,800 pieces and escape. If you can't prevent it from self-destructing, it seems very troublesome to catch it and bask in the sun. If you don't pay attention, you will miss some debris.

Moreover, according to Tsukuni Enichi's Memory Breathing Technique and the Nichirin Sword, they are not the weaknesses of Kibutsuji Mumei. The only ones that can really cause effective damage to it are the 'He Sword' and the 'Breath of the Sun'.

He does know the 'Breath of the Sun', but he's really not skilled at it, and what is the 'He Dao'? He didn't know how to use it at all, and the description of this skill in Tsukuni Enichi's memory was also very vague. It just said that it made the blade of the sword turn red. Is it because of high-temperature friction?

"Forget it, never mind...that guy is so weak anyway, let's wait until we meet him..."

Xuan Hao felt that it might not be that easy for him to meet this coward again.

This guy seems to have been hiding in the water after being chopped by himself and Jiguoyuan. It seems that he wants to kill him and Jiguoyuan? Thinking of this, please forgive Xuan Hao for laughing unkindly. He had no choice but to do so. This was the first time he knew that someone wanted to kill him.

After walking out of the wisteria forest, Xuanhao planned to visit the Demon Slayer Squad.

He remembered Jiguo Yuanyi's last words to him, telling him to take a good look at the world.

For some reason, he feels unusually calm now. He no longer has the anxiety of being pressed for time before. He plans to try to walk the same path that Ji Guoyuan has walked, and walk slowly like Ji Guoyuan. Maybe It's really like what this man said, when the time comes, you will eventually meet the person you want to see.

…

"A ghost appears in Mount Sagi! I repeat, a ghost appears in Mount Sagi!"

"Please rush to the nearby swordsmen of 'C' level or above to provide support!"

"Swordsmen of grade 'C' or above rush to support quickly!"

The crows were chattering in the sky.

It woke up a man who was sleeping against a tree.

"'C' level?" Xuan Hao yawned, "It doesn't look like a very strong ghost..."

The swordsmen in the Demon Slayer Corps have a clear hierarchy. From low to high, they are divided into ten levels: "Gui Ren, Xin Geng, Ji, Wu, Ding, Bing, Yi, A". Above these, there are stronger "pillar" level swordsmen.

Every swordsman in the Demon Slayer Corps is as precious as his own child in the eyes of the head of Uyashiki, so he will not give random orders. Since the swordsman of the 'C' level and above is ordered by the tiger to go to support, it means that Sagiyama A swordsman may have been killed and must be supported by swordsmen above this level. Swordsmen below this level will also die.

Ghosts that require swordsmen of 'C' level or above to deal with may be already very strong for many other swordsmen, but it makes no difference to Xuan Hao... because the Ghost King is the same in front of him.

The only headache that probably gave him a headache was that he couldn't find the whereabouts of the Ghost King. If he could find it, it would be faster to solve the problem directly from the source.

Oniwu Tsuji Mumei seemed to be more timid than he thought, and did not dare to show his face at all.

"Oh, that's all. It's nearby anyway, so let's go and have a look."

Xuan Hao stood up and jumped down from the tree.

He has been joining the Demon Slayer Corps for some time, and he has been killing ghosts while searching for the whereabouts of his sister. Although he still has no clue, he is not so anxious now, because there is no use in being anxious.

He has also completely figured it out. Since he can't find his sister and is worried about his sister's safety, he might as well kill more ghosts to make the world safer. There seems to be nothing wrong with this idea.

During the time he joined the Demon Slayer Corps, he had to admire the leadership ability of the Ubuyashiki clan. They were simply a conscientious enterprise. None of the swordsmen in the Demon Slayer Corps had any objections, and even he couldn't find fault with them.

No matter whether they are strong or weak, they can find a suitable position for themselves in the Demon Slayer Corps. Even swordsmen who are injured and lose the ability to hunt ghosts can also retreat to the second line to do logistics work.

By the way, the promotion system of the Demon Slayer Squad is also very fair. It's just based on the 'performance' of killing ghosts. The stronger the ghosts that are capable of killing, the higher their level will be.

Even a 'nobody' like Xuan Hao has been successfully and quickly promoted to the 'A' level after joining the Demon Slayer Corps.

This is already the highest level that an ordinary Demon Slayer swordsman can reach. It’s not that he doesn’t want to continue to advance, but that he can’t find a stronger ‘ghost’ to kill...

If you want to advance to the 'Hillar' level, you must kill the 'Twelve Demon Moons' under Demon Dance Tsuji Muzan. The Twelve Demon Moons are divided into upper and lower phases. To advance to the Pillar level, you must kill at least one lower demon.

The problem is... among the twelve ghost moons currently known to the Demon Slayer Squad, there is only one of them, "Hei Shimo", who is the brother of Enichi Tsukuni, whom Xuanhao once met. The rest of the positions have not appeared before, and this one does not seem to go out often in front of humans. It seems that he only wants to retreat and become stronger.

The only other ghosts that often jump around in front of the Demon Slayer Team are the demons that are often replaced, and there are only six in total. Under normal circumstances, the 'lord' will not send swordsmen below the 'pillar' level to fight against them unless they are too busy. Come.

But this situation of being too busy does not hold true at all. Because there are nine swordsmen above the 'pillar' level. Nine against six! If they are not enough, there is no room for Xuan Hao to intervene. Unless you are lucky enough to happen upon him, it is normal for him to be head-banged.

But this doesn't matter to Xuan Hao at all. It should be said that he doesn't care about being a "pillar" at all. He only joins the Demon Slayer Squad to find ghosts more conveniently.

Because the Uyashiki clan's properties are spread all over the country, the Demon Slayer Corps' intelligence network is extremely wide. No matter where a ghost appears, it will immediately send out "Japanese crows" to notify nearby swordsmen.

Just like now.

Xuan Hao rushed forward in the dark woods, heading towards the mountains shrouded in thick fog in the distance.

Mt. Saagiri gets its name from the fact that it is shrouded in thick fog all year round.

The air in the mountains is extremely thin and unsuitable for human survival, so it has become a place for ghosts to take refuge. Ghosts chased by swordsmen often flee here, because places with thin air have a great impact on the use of breathing techniques. If a weak ghost hunter strays into this place chasing ghosts, he will probably be killed.

But because of this, there are often powerful swordsmen stationed nearby, waiting for support at any time.

Maybe it won't be long before the ghosts know that this place is actually not safe and won't come here anymore.

"Gah——gah——gah——"

Hearing the crows circling above his head start calling again, Xuanhao, who had just arrived at the foot of the mountain and was about to rush up the mountain, covered his face and slowed down.

"Just now, the ghost was defeated by Yanzhu!"

"Grass (a plant) -"

Got fucked again.

"Hahahahaha——"

The sound of laughter came from the front.

A blond man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked down the mountain. His long blond hair had a flame-like color at the end, and even the feathers he wore were tattooed with flames.

He was holding a Nichirin sword with a flaming sword in his hand. He always had a smile on his face, and his whole person was as enthusiastic as a blazing flame.

This person is the current Flame Pillar of the Demon Slayers - Purgatory Shinichiro.

"You're late again, Xuanhao." Purgatory Shinichiro greeted Xuanhao enthusiastically.

Xuanhao was speechless.

"Why do you mean I'm late again? I really doubt you live in this mountain..."

He knew how fast he was. It was impossible for any member of the nearby Demon Slayers to be faster than him, not even this Flame Pillar, unless this guy was originally guarding the foot of the mountain.

"Hahaha! No doubt, I am! I can't help it. This is a dangerous area and it is also under my jurisdiction." Purgatory Shinichiro touched his head in embarrassment, "In order to ensure the safety of the team members, I think it is best to stay here. suitable."

"Right……"

Xuan Hao glanced at the Demon Slayer swordsman following Yan Zhu.

This swordsman's right arm seems to have disappeared, probably because he was asking for support on Mount Sagi.

Soon after, members of the Demon Slayer Corps' logistics team arrived, temporarily bandaged the swordsman's wounds and then tied him to a stretcher and carried him away.

Xuanhao and Purgatory Shinichiro came to sit down in a small wooden house at the foot of Samagiri Mountain.

Only then did Xuan Hao know that this guy really lived here.

Along the way, Shinichiro Purgatory, who was enthusiastic, told Xuanhao that since Saagiri Mountain was listed as a high-risk area, he volunteered to build a cabin here without the Lord's order, and vowed to kill the evil spirits so that they would not dare to come here. run……

Xuanhao could only be speechless about this.

Originally, he didn't know why ghosts everywhere had become much more honest recently, but now it seemed that they were probably frightened by these enthusiastic Demon Slayer swordsmen.

Anyway, Xuan Hao never thought that it was because of himself. His sudden appearance made Ghost Dance Tsuji Mukai act more cautiously, and even ordered his ghosts to act with the same caution.

"Come! I have nothing to entertain you here, only wine."

Purgatory Shinichiro took out two jars of wine, put one jar into Xuanhao's hand, and then directly opened the other jar in his hand and raised it above his head to drink.

"Ha - it's great!" Purgatory Shinichiro looked at Xuanhao, "You haven't changed at all!"

Perhaps because he is past middle age, Purgatory Shinichiro always cares about the swordsmen who join the team like an old father. Just like he is staying here now to prevent more people from being killed by ghosts here.

Xuanhao is not disgusted with such a person, but is a little helpless. After all, he does not need special care.

Xuanhao also took a sip and looked at the bold middle-aged man in front of him speechlessly, while Purgatory Shinichiro had already begun to enter the 'nostalgic' mode. After taking a few sips of wine, he began to chatter, "Haven't you changed too?" Just a few years.”

"Yes, we haven't seen each other for several years!"

Purgatory Shinichiro seemed particularly happy to see the boy in front of him again, and seemed to miss the scene when the two met.

The swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps travel around all year round, always walking on the edge of life and death. People like this who have not seen each other for several years may never be seen again.

Speaking of which, Shinichiro Purgatory felt that he was the 'teacher' of the young man in front of him. He still remembered when he met this young man in the 'Final Selection'.

It was a figure standing tall in the dawn, which made people seem to see hope.

…

Every swordsman who wants to join the Demon Slayer Corps must first pass the 'final selection' assessment.

The final selection was held at a place called 'Tengxi Mountain', which is a mountain with wisteria flowers blooming all year round. Wisteria flowers bloom all over the mountains and plains no matter what season. The wisteria trees here are like the anger of gods against ghosts. Even if it is not the season for flowers to bloom, they are still in full bloom.

The pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps trap weak demons in the mountains and use them to select swordsmen with potential.

The swordsmen participating in the selection need to survive in the mountains for seven days.

Xuanhao received the attention of Shinichiro Purgatory because his performance was too good when he participated in the 'Final Selection'.

Of course, it was not because Xuan Hao performed well and killed many ghosts, but because this guy neither used the breathing method nor the Sun Sword when killing ghosts.

The entire Demon Slayer Team probably remembered this man after this 'final selection'.

Because when Xuan Hao kills ghosts, he always grabs the opponent's neck and stands in the open space waiting for dawn, looking like a god.

But this method is very dangerous! Purgatory Shinichiro has always thought so.

It was precisely because of this that he paid special attention to this 'swordsman' who killed ghosts with his bare hands.

He obviously had a Nichirin sword on his waist, but he never seemed to use it. The sword was rusty and he didn't take care of it. He thought he had picked up a Nichirin sword from a certain swordsman somewhere, right? After all, swordsmen often sacrifice themselves outside, so it's normal for someone to pick up a knife.

He didn't know what this boy had gone through, but people who chose to join the Demon Slayer Corps must have their own reasons.

Those who want to join the Demon Slayer Corps include not only those who have been trained by the Demon Slayer Corps trainers, but also "savages" like Xuan Hao who come to the door on their own. The difference between them is whether they know breathing techniques. But they may all have something in common, that is, they may all have a painful past that they don't want to be mentioned.

At that time, Purgatory Shinichiro mistakenly believed that Xuanhao did not know the breathing method, so he never used it in the 'final selection'.

Although there are usually very few participants who don’t know how to use the breathing method to pass the assessment, Xuan Hao passed without using the breathing method!

No matter who you are, you will think that such a person is probably a genius!

Purgatory Shinichiro also thinks so.

But genius is genius, and that way of killing ghosts is definitely not possible! It must be corrected! So in order to correct Xuan Hao's wrong 'posture', he specially asked his lord to be the 'teacher' of breathing techniques, and to teach Xuan Hao breathing techniques for a period of time.

It’s okay if you didn’t know the correct way to kill ghosts before joining, but you have to ‘make up the lessons’ after joining! This is the reason why the Demon Slayer Squad has transformed from being suppressed by ghosts to being able to suppress ghosts in recent decades. It is also to enable this boy to live better!

But after only a few days of teaching, Purgatory Shinichiro became autistic.

Because Xuan Hao completely mastered his breath of fire in just a few days, and his proficiency has reached the level where he can directly practice it. He is like a genius, oh no, just a genius!

This is something to be happy about. Being autistic is autistic, but Shinichiro Purgatory is not jealous of his 'students'. He just thought that Xuanhao would be able to survive better if he learned the breathing method.

But... what makes him even more autistic is that this boy has obviously learned the breath of fire, but he still doesn't use it!

He still remembered the first time he took this young man on a ghost hunting mission. The young man still used the most primitive method, pinching the ghost's neck and waiting for dawn.

It seems that this bad habit cannot be broken.

Purgatory Shinichiro was very happy that such a genius could appear in the Demon Slayer Squad, but he was also worried that this disobedient boy would die outside because of his carelessness.

Because this method of killing ghosts is too dangerous. If you keep in contact with ghosts at such a close distance, you may be killed by ghosts if you don't pay attention. To be honest, this is the first time he has seen someone kill ghosts in such a barbaric way, but this seems like It also proves from the side that this young man is very powerful.

Perhaps even more powerful than him as a 'teacher'! But as a 'teacher', Shinichiro Purgatory will always worry about his students.

Until now, when he saw Xuan Hao appearing in front of him safe and sound, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Purgatory Shinichiro laughed and drank all the wine in the jar.

"Are you still killing ghosts that way?"

"Yes." Xuan Hao replied matter-of-factly.

These are all lessons learned from his experience. It is more reliable to kill ghosts by directly using sunlight. What if one day these ghosts are like Onimbutsuji Mukai and their necks are cut off by the Nichirin Sword and they will not die?

Now that I think about it, I am getting more and more angry when I think about not being able to kill that guy. The guy is now hiding somewhere where he can't find him, so he has no choice but to practice with these little devils first.

"Alas..." Purgatory Shinichiro sighed when he saw Xuan Hao's unrepentant look, "That's all, I won't talk about you anymore. I just want to pay attention to safety. It's best to cut off your hands and feet first. Do you understand?"

See, is this human language? The corner of Xuan Hao's mouth twitched, feeling that he was really kind. He just held his arms around his neck and invited those poor people who had never seen the sun to bask in the sun. It was not good to use knives or guns.

"More!" Purgatory Shinichiro seemed to suddenly remember something, and his expression became a little serious.

"Your current qualifications are enough to be promoted to a 'Pillar'. All you need to do is kill the 'Twelve Ghost Moons' to prove it. I have to remind you, don't be as careless as you are when facing these guys. You The knife...it's better to take it and take care of it, so as not to break it at the critical moment!"

Purgatory Shinichiro said, pointing helplessly to the rusty sword on Xuan Hao's waist, "It's just that when those swordsmiths see you treating their knives like this, they may chase you for a few blocks before caring for you. …”

"Forehead……"

Let's forget it, Xuan Hao was stunned. He didn't want to be chased and chopped by others. Usually, he chased and chopped by others.

Moreover, the Nichirin Sword is really useful for his immortality. The reason why he keeps carrying it is just because it is a gift from a friend. As for maintenance... you just need to wipe it clean at ordinary times, and you won't use it to kill people anyway.

Rather than stabbing people, he prefers to stab people with a gun or attack them directly.

Maybe he can go to the Bladesmith Village and find the bladesmiths to make a spear for him? Xuan Hao thought for a while and hesitated because it was said that going to the swordsmith's village was particularly troublesome.

The Nichirin Sword is the foundation for the Demon Slayers to hunt ghosts, and being the swordsman who makes these knives is naturally crucial.

In order to protect these swordsmiths, the location of the swordsmith village must be kept secret. Even the "Pillars" of the Demon Slayer Squad don't know where the location is, and Xuan Hao naturally doesn't know either.

etc! Xuan Hao seemed to have thought of something important. So, he had indeed never been to the Swordsmith's Village! In the past few years, he has searched all over the country and still has not found any clues about his sister. Maybe there are some clues there?

Thinking of this, Xuan Hao immediately asked Purgatory Shinichiro in front of him, "How to get to the Swordsmith's Village?"

"What? Have you figured it out!?" Purgatory Shinichiro looked happy, thinking that Xuanhao had finally figured out how to kill ghosts with the Nichirin Sword.

"No... I want to ask the swordsmith there to make a suitable weapon for me."

Xuanhao did not tell Purgatory Shinichiro his main purpose.

"Forging weapons?"

"Yes, I'm not used to using knives, so I want to ask them to customize another weapon for me."

"I see, you should have told me earlier!"

Purgatory Shinichiro suddenly realized that it turned out that this guy had been fighting ghosts with his bare hands because he was not used to using swords. "This is simple. What kind of weapon do you want? In fact, you don't have to go to the swordsmith village in person. You just need to tell the request to the bird. They will convey your needs to the Village of Bladesmiths."

"Well... I think I should go there in person. After all, this is the first time I ask them to make weapons."

"That's right." Purgatory Shinichiro pondered for a moment and felt that what Xuanhao said made sense. "It doesn't matter if you go there in person. It will be a matter of time for you to be promoted to a pillar. If the weapon you want is very special, you should definitely go there." Go find out if there is a knife maker that suits you."

"So how to go..."

"I don't know, hahahaha... burp..." Purgatory Shinichiro laughed, maybe because he drank a little too much and was a little delirious.

"Gan!" Xuan Hao almost lifted the table.

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Purgatory Shinichiro smiled and patted the wine jar, "No one in the Demon Slayer Squad can know the location of the Swordsmith Village alone. If you want to go, you have to contact the members of the Hidden Club. There will be a meeting tomorrow. 'Yin' comes to deliver supplies to me, and you can just follow him when the time comes."

"You should have told me earlier!"

Xuan Hao sighed. It was really difficult to talk to such an alcoholic with a wrong brain circuit.

Seeing Shinichiro Purgatory lying dazed on the ground, he had no choice but to throw him on the bed and cover him with a quilt.

"How dare you get drunk in a place like this..."

The pillars of the Demon Slayer Squad seem to be some strange guys, including this flame pillar, who dares to be so drunk in a place where ghosts often appear, and I don't know how he is alive until now.

…

Early next morning.

Although Shinichiro Purgatory was drunk, the words he spoke did not seem to be nonsense.

Shortly after the sun rose, someone came here carrying a backpack.

It was clearly daytime, but the person who came was wearing a black uniform and wrapped himself tightly with a hat and a scarf, like a legendary ninja performing a secret mission.

But Xuan Hao knew that this was the 'hidden' side of the Demon Slayers. They had almost no combat effectiveness, so except for supporting the injured, daily tasks like this were done during the day.

"Master Purgatory, your..."

The Anbu members called Flame Pillar's name as they walked into the room and prepared to put things away, but they just called out and stopped.

"Oh, are you drunk again?"

Yin, who was responsible for delivering supplies to Yanzhu, seemed to be used to this phenomenon.

"Huh? There are others!"

At this time, he finally noticed Xuan Hao's presence beside him.

"It's great. It's very dangerous to get drunk alone here." Yin seemed to feel particularly lucky that someone was here to protect the Flame Pillar.

"..." Xuan Hao was speechless. He just said that it was indeed dangerous!

"Swordsman, are you sent by the Lord to supervise Mr. Purgatory's work?" Yin asked curiously.

"no……"

The corners of Xuan Hao's mouth twitched. Is this guy drunk enough that he needs someone to supervise him?

"It's just that I happened to be near here last night, and I heard the warning from the Eagle Crow that we need support here. But when I arrived, Yanzhu had already solved the battle."

"Ah, he is indeed Master Purgatory." Yin seemed to have special respect for this Yanzhu, "Oh... it would be great if he could get rid of this drinking habit."

"Do you know why he drinks like this?" Xuan Hao asked with a frown.

"I don't know..." Yin scratched his head, "But there are rumors that Master Purgatory will be stronger than normal when he is drunk."

"Ah...could this guy know how to do Drunken Boxing? That's not right, he obviously uses a knife!" Xuan Hao was speechless.

"Hahahaha..." Hearing Xuan Hao's complaints, he scratched his head in embarrassment, "I don't know the specific situation, but Master Purgatory is indeed a very powerful person, and I have also received favors from him, so I I volunteered to send him some food every day, as it is too inconvenient to live here."

"really……"

Xuan Hao nodded slightly. There were no people around the Sawu Mountain area because ghosts often appeared, so Yanzhu lived here alone and had to travel far to buy wine and food.

"Then don't you know not to give him wine!?"

He pointed to the basket that Yin carried on his back, which was probably filled with wine.

"No... If I don't send it to Master Purgatory, he will go and buy it himself, so..."

"Oh... ok, ok." Xuan Hao sighed, are emotions something you're used to?

"Ignore him. Ordinary ghosts shouldn't be able to kill him anyway."

"My lord also said so..." Yin still seemed a little worried, "Seeing you here, I thought my lord had changed his mind."

"Oh?" Xuan Hao raised his brows slightly after hearing this. The Uyashiki clan does not seem to be such reckless people. The 'pillar' is an extremely important combat force for the Demon Slayer Team, and they will definitely not care about it.

So if that's the case, maybe there's something else special about this man.

He focused his gaze on the snoring and sleeping man in front of him, but he still couldn't see anything special.

"Forget it, tell me about me." Xuan Hao stopped Yin who was about to leave.

"Excuse me, sir, do you need anything?" There was some confusion.

"I want to know how to get to the Swordsmith's Village," Xuan Hao said, pointing to the rusty sword on his waist.

Yin immediately understood what Xuan Hao meant when he saw this mottled long knife that looked a bit old.

"I see, do you need to rebuild the weapon?"

"Yes, I want to go to the swordsmith's village in person. Could you please lead the way?"

"OK!"

With that said, Yin took out a black strip of cloth from his arms and pulled it, as if preparing to tie something.

"This is it?" Xuan Hao was stunned.

"The location of the village must be kept secret, so if you want to go, I will carry Inexplicable all the way there."

"Ah...are you sure?"

Xuan Hao was a little embarrassed. Although he wanted to cooperate with this Yin's confidentiality work, but...

He didn't think that the incompetent man in front of him could easily carry him to the Swordsmith's Village. After all, his body was quite strong. No, even the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps would have struggled to carry him. .

"Huh?" Yin didn't seem to understand what Xuan Hao meant, "Of course you are sure, this is my job. The location of the village is confidential, even I don't know where the specific location is. If you are worried about my physical strength So don’t worry, someone will take over from me on the way. After all, I’m only responsible for sending you to find the hidden people on the streets..."

"I see."

According to Yin's explanation, Xuanhao learned that going to the swordsmith's village was more complicated than he thought.

The route taken and the Yinhui responsible for sending people off were changed very frequently. Only under the leadership of the Eagle Crow could they successfully meet up with the Yin responsible for the reception. Like Yin Yao, Yin Yao also changes very frequently, which means that the route he takes every time may be different.

"Then...I'm sorry to trouble you."

Xuan Hao hesitantly covered his eyes. Not because he was confident, but because he really felt that this person would succumb to his majestic appearance.

"No trouble."

Yin seemed to answer with a smile.

But when he just carried the man in front of him, the smile under the scarf solidified instantly.

Grass, so heavy! This was his true feeling, as if what he was carrying was not a human being but some kind of creature that ate and slept.
