Love Warriors Cong Liangji

Feng left, leaving Jiang Liu alone. He waited quietly for a while, then pulled out the Taidao and returned to his room.

Jiang Liu and Feng didn't live together. The woman lived in a hut next to the Buddhist hall, and rarely appeared except for training and eating. She always carved Buddha statues alone in the room.

And Jiang Liu lives in a wooden house a little further away. Behind the house is a clear small river, which is almost the source of daily water. Jiang Liu will also go in to take a shower after a day of training.

At first, Feng was in charge of the food for the two of them, but what she brought out could only be called "food" at best, not gourmet food, or even quite... Later, Jiang Liu was in charge, and Jiang Liu would sometimes go to Nearby towns replenish daily necessities and food.

Feng doesn't seem to be short of money, maybe the Ghost Killing Squad has a subsidy.

As usual, he dragged his tired body back to the residence. After washing off the sweat stains on his body, Jiang Liu stood shirtless in the shallow water, and suddenly became quiet like that, and began to observe his reflection in the water under the moonlight.

The moonlight is not very bright tonight, but perhaps it is because of the divine nature, Jiang Liu is now different from ordinary people in all aspects, including the five senses are becoming more and more sensitive, and he can see clearly even at night. Reflect on the water.

It was not a very "tough" face.

About eighteen or nineteen years old, a man between an adult and a teenager, he could be said to have handsome facial features, but now the lines of his face have become relatively tough. Although he is not yet "majestic", his personality can be seen The fortitude in it.

Strictly speaking, he is still very young, but it makes people feel calm beyond his age.

Looking down the neck, one can see a lean body that doesn't look like a young man.

The muscle mass is not so exaggerated that it cannot be compared with those muscular men in European and American movies, but every muscle is well defined, neither looking cumbersome nor thin.

What is particularly eye-catching is the several criss-cross scars on it, most of which are slender and long sword wounds.

In a sense, this is also a proof of the various tempers that Jiang Liu has experienced.

For some unknown reason, Jiang Liu stared at his face seriously and remained silent for a long time before exhaling a long breath as if he had lifted a heavy burden.

"...It's been a year."

It has been a year since he came to "Ghost Slayer: Blade". After fighting to the death with evil spirits and practicing hellishly with the red-haired teacher, he finally ushered in this day.

Five months of abnormal physical training and basic skills learning, seven months of swordsmanship practice and even more abnormal physical training...

There is no so-called "epiphany" or "photographic memory", and simply learning skills is meaningless. Only a strong body can transform martial arts and realm into real power.

This was a year that made Jiang Liu almost breathless. He was on the verge of collapse countless times, and also broke through his original limit countless times.And he can also clearly perceive: every day he is stronger than yesterday himself!

If it is an ordinary person, even if the will is as hard as iron, the body will not be able to sustain it, but Jiang Liu's body, which has been transformed by the divine nature, has unimaginable plasticity and growth even if it cannot fly into the sky and escape from the ground.

Coupled with his ambition and unwillingness, he managed to persevere.

And today is the day when he ends all his practice.

He wasn't worried about the so-called "final selection with a very high mortality rate", because he was now physically and mentally strong!

-

The location of the final selection has already been known, and it is not too far from Jiang Liu's practice place, and Jiang Liu's footsteps will take about a day.

When they set off in the early morning, Feng didn't come out to see her off, and Jiang Liu didn't go to find her. He took the teacher's sword and embarked on the journey to the trial alone.And at dusk he arrived at his destination: a deep mountain surrounded by wisteria forests.

In the open space where the selected ones gathered, since the official start had not yet started and they were not familiar with each other, everyone was a little idle, and Jiang Liu had no intention of making friends with other people, so he looked at the blooming wisteria in boredom Tree.

Under the light of the lantern fire, small purple and white flowers gather together like snowdrifts and hang down from the slender branches. A flower tree is like a beautiful dream, and thousands of flower trees gather together. The ocean, on the other hand, has increased the momentum of raging waves in the beautiful dream.

If you look down from the top of the mountain during the day, it must be a magnificent view that will hit the soul directly.

Very beautiful - this is Jiang Liu's only impression.

Probably the long-term practice life has seriously damaged his three outlooks. If it was him before, he might be moved a little bit, but now he really doesn't have any thoughts other than "beautiful".

Oh, by the way, he also thought of the role of wisteria flowers... This is a bit of a spoiler.

The Ghost Slayer Squad doesn't have a team badge or anything like that. The wisteria flower can barely be regarded as the totem of the Ghost Slayer Squad, because this flower is a kind of poison to ghosts, and evil spirits generally loathe or even fear the wisteria flower.

But this is the same as the relationship between human beings and cockroaches - they are just afraid, not really poisoned to death.

If the ingredients of wisteria flower are extracted and concentrated and refined, it is indeed possible to produce a deadly poison to ghosts, but both the cost and the process are very difficult, and the resistance of each ghost is different...simple That is to say, it is not universal.

At present, the most reliable method to kill evil spirits is still the sun wheel knife and breathing method.

The wisteria flower has become a prop used to block evil spirits or block their range of activities.

For example, the mountain that was selected as the trial site is surrounded by wisterias, but it is not to prevent evil spirits from breaking in, but to prevent the evil spirits inside from running out.

"Miss Chanel?"

A girl in a pink kimono with a side ponytail stood quietly in the corner. Although her attire did not seem to be very conducive to action, her indifferent temperament and the well-fitting long knife at her waist showed her identity as a tester .

Jiang Liu accidentally saw this familiar figure: "Is she here too, that is to say..."

Although Kano is Ninja Butterfly's disciple and adopted daughter, she has been educated as an elite ghost hunter since she was a child, but even she has to go through the final selection according to the prescribed procedures before entering the ghost killing team.

And if Jiang Liu remembers correctly, Kanaihu should be in the same class as the original protagonist.

Could it be that I am also in the same class as the protagonist group?

Jiang Liu was a little surprised. After all, he couldn't remember exactly which year the original plot was set in. He didn't expect to bump into the protagonists by such a coincidence.

He looked at the testers calmly, and after a short while, he found a blond-haired boy standing alone, with bruises and bruises on his face, and silent tears and snot.

Seeing him, Jiang Liu nodded secretly: It really is.

Shanyi, this role should be regarded as the second male number in "Demon Slayer: Blade", both in terms of popularity and roles are very important.

The reason why he is like this is mainly because he didn't dare to participate in the final selection, and was beaten by his master...

But don't look at him being so cowardly, his strength should not be underestimated. His performance in the original book is really "speak the most cowardly words and fight the most ruthless fights". Although his attack methods are very monotonous, he is extremely sharp because of his single-mindedness. .

However, because of his personality, he can't exert that kind of strength when he is awake, and his strength explodes when he loses consciousness, so he is also nicknamed "Sleeping Column".

"Head post... Is Tanjirou here yet?" Looking left and right again, Jiang Liu didn't find Tanjirou, the leading male Katomon, and although he was a little disappointed, he didn't take it to heart.

Although he found the protagonist group members, Jiang Liu himself did not have the idea of ​​going up to make connections. Maybe when he first came, he was still thinking about how to join the protagonist group to intervene in the plot, but now it is completely optional, and I hope to let nature take its course status.

It doesn't matter what the plot is, as long as you have this knife in your hand, there is nothing to care about.

Chapter 18: Jiangliu Today

"Thank you for coming tonight to participate in the final selection of the Ghost Slayer Squad."

"On this [Vine Attack Mountain], the ghosts captured alive by the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Squad are imprisoned."

"But ghosts can't leave, because from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, there are wisteria flowers that ghosts hate all year round."

"But there will be no more wisteria flowers in front of here, and there will be ghosts."

Twin kimono girls (?) with two hair colors, one black and one white, but almost identical in appearance, stood under the torii and explained the requirements of the final selection to everyone.

They (?) have no extra expressions other than smiles, and their voices and intonations are also extremely strange. Their dress and appearance like dolls make their existence seem very strange.

Some people may believe that it is the little girl's wraith.

However, Jiang Liu remembered that these two were indeed only human beings, and they were also the adopted son and adopted daughter of the boss of the Ghost Killing Squad (there was a big guy in women's clothing).

"If you live in it for seven days, you will pass the conditions for the final selection."

"Then, please go all the way."

There were only twenty or thirty people in the final selection this time, all of whom had undergone rigorous training as reserve swordsmen, and there was no surprise about the passing conditions, and they all set foot on the road into the mountain forest.

The same was true for Jiang Liu, but he deliberately glanced behind him when he left.

A young man with dark red hair, a scar on his forehead, and a short jacket with water patterns was walking with a serious face.

Tanjiro Kamado, a gentle ghost hunter who bears blood feud and fate...

"I hope you can pass the test as smoothly as in the original book this time." Jiang Liu smiled silently, did not stay any longer, and entered the Tengshi Mountain first.

-

The swordsmen of the Ghost Killing Squad are also graded, with a total of ten ranks from low to high, but they are not distinguished by strength, but by their achievements in defeating evil spirits.However, it is impossible for the weak to survive this cruel ghost hunting career, so in a sense this is indeed a level of strength.

And above all ranks, those who are considered to be the strongest of the Ghost Slayer Squad are called "Pillars". Their status is transcendent and they have unimaginable authority.

For example, Butterfly Ninja, who saved Jiang Liu before, is the person in charge of the medical department of the Demon Slayer Squad and a member of "Pillar".

As for Feng...Jiang Liu thinks this woman should be Zhu, or was once someone in Zhu.

Even if she stepped back because of her physical condition, even with her current body, the pressure on Jiang Liu was no less than that of Butterfly Ninja, or even stronger.

However, Feng has never revealed his past, especially the scars on his face, and Jiang Liu wisely did not ask.

Jiang Liu thought that if necessary, even if he didn't ask, Feng would say it himself.Since she didn't mention it at all... probably because she didn't want Jiang Liu to get involved in her past.

Jiang Liu himself doesn't care much about the so-called "class". In fact, the protagonist group in the original book didn't care too much. Even the original author seems to have forgotten this setting in the later stage...

In the final analysis, the class of the Ghost Slayer Squad is just a system for distinguishing seniority and merit. At most, it can improve salary and authority, and there are really no benefits other than that.

Even if they are promoted to "Pillar", they generally don't have any subordinates, and they often act alone or in small groups. There are only a few people who manage a department like Butterfly Ninja.

After all, this kind of title will not improve the strength...

Thinking about other things one after another, Jiang Liu walked aimlessly on the mountain road, his body seemed to be very relaxed, with a defenseless "delicious" look.

Not to mention drawing the knife, he didn't even put his hand on the handle of the knife, but put it in his arms with one hand, which was more relaxed and casual than tourists.

"Susu~"

There was a commotion in the canopy above, like a wild beast about to rush out, but Jiang Liu still didn't care as if he hadn't heard it, and continued walking on his own.

"Srust~Srust~Srust~"

The voices became more frequent and more pronounced, and judging from the swaying trajectory of the leaves, it seemed that the other party had been tracking Jiang Liu's movements, and the distance between the two was still shrinking.

But Jiang Liu's reaction was like a deaf person, not to mention becoming vigilant, and even had the leisure to appreciate the wild flowers blooming on the roadside.

"hateful!"

Finally, the evil spirit staying above couldn't bear it any longer, and directly jumped down from the hiding place.

"Are you underestimating me, human!"

The sharp howling shook Jiang Liu's eardrums, causing him to frown in dissatisfaction, but he ignored the strong wind coming from behind his head, and didn't even bother to turn his head.

The evil spirit stared at the back of the human in front of him. The night did not affect his vision, and he aimed at the fragile back of his neck and stretched out his claws.

Even among the ghosts, his claws were sharper, no worse than the samurai swords, and when he swung them with all his strength, he could easily pierce through hard tree trunks like a knife wheel.

"go to hell--!"

I was about to succeed, but the human still didn't respond, which made the evil spirit uncontrollably excited.
