On how to get to the top with multiple jobs

"Mr. Purgatory, Mr. Tomioka." Butterfly Shinobu looked at the sea without blinking, "Do you feel... the light of the Lord of the Dragon Palace has become much brighter?"

Tomioka Yoshiyuki replied slowly: "...It's not an illusion."

He was usually depressed, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with his mood being a little more gloomy at this moment.

The smell of blood in the air became more and more intense, and when entering the fog, the smell of rust stained people's bodies along with the fog.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki's face is not very good-looking, he is really not used to the ship, the feeling of staying on the ship is terrible for him.

Not to mention the sea breeze is so strong.The boat was swaying, it was fine if he didn't spit it out on the spot.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki covered his nose: "I always feel...something is wrong."

The fog was very, very thick and visibility was very low.Purgatory Xingshoulang was moving the boat, and the other person standing was the medicine seller. He held a small delicate balance in his hand, which he said was measuring the distance.

... I don't know how this distance is calculated.They couldn't see through the man in front of them, so they tried their best to ignore his strange behavior.

Tian Ping bowed lightly, and then slipped into the drug seller's pocket.The man said unhurriedly, "Here we are."

Purgatory Xingjulang stopped to punting, he looked around, and suddenly, another boat broke into his sight.

When did it appear! ?Even with his eyes and ears, he didn't even know it.Everything in this mist is really weird!Purgatory Xing Shoulang's vigilance didn't show on his face, he used the ferry to pull another boat in, and two sleepy people came into view——

two?And the two of them are extremely clean!Where did the bloody smell come from?

Purgatory Kyojuro suppressed the bad thought in his heart and comforted himself: It's okay... Tanjiro Kamado must still be alive.

He wanted to go over to check the situation of the two of them, but suddenly his eyes went dark.

The drug seller quickly caught Yan Zhu's limp body in the next second, he frowned, and looked to the side.Sure enough, the other two pillars also fell asleep at some point.

He walked to another boat.Kamado Tanjiro fell asleep peacefully.He frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

It's a deep sleep.The pharmacist judges.

He used his fingers to brush over the red mark on the other person's face, and stared intently for a while.That's probably why Tanjiro fell asleep.

So what about the three sleeping pillars?Was it caused by the blood in the mist, or did Tanjiro subconsciously pull these people into a dream?The medicine seller pondered for a while, then he raised his hands to the air, and countless talismans appeared in an instant!Those runes written in cinnabar were shining brightly. He waved his hand lightly, and the runes shrouded the two ships like arms, separating the two ships from the mist of the outside world.

He lit a few sticks of insect smoke, and sat gracefully and dignifiedly in the small boat on the sea.

Everyone can fall asleep, but he can't.Because... in case something goes wrong, he is the only one who will be the last resort. ——This is the tacit understanding between him and Kamado Tanjiro for many years.If one person dies.

Someone else will take care of it all.

.

Purgatory Xingshourou couldn't be sure what state he was in now.

At first, there were fleeting images in front of his eyes... He was not sure if those flashing fragments were his memories or what.Could it be that he has been trapped in the sea thousand that Tanjiro said?

Hahahaha... If this is the case, then I would feel ashamed to go my own way to save Tanjiro.

He waited on the spot for a while, those shattered things slowly disappeared, and the surroundings returned to nothingness, followed by darkness, boundless darkness, and there was a ray of light in a place so far away that it was impossible to reach.

He looked up.Finally decided to go to that point of light.The light was too subtle, but it was much better than this pure blackness.

"Mr. Tomioka?"

Tomioka Yoshiyuki looked back and saw Purgatory Kyojuro, he nodded slightly in response.

Purgatory Xingshoulang: "Do you remember what you saw last on the boat?"

"You pulled that ship closer."

"It seems that there are no clues to be found, let's continue walking."

Butterfly couldn't help but didn't know where to go. This beautiful woman should have found a way out much earlier than them.She is sensitive enough and smart enough.

"Have you had a conflict with Tanjirou?"

Yoshiyuki Tomioka lowered his eyelashes, and he hummed lightly.

Sometimes it seems that it is necessary to reveal some of my inner voice.He said: "I found that he was completely different from what I imagined. He and ghosts..."

"There is a connection. But he has kindness in his heart, that's enough. Mr. Tomioka, we have also seen ghosts who are unwilling to eat people." Purgatory Xingshourou said lightly, "Don't add the image of a person to another person. It's unfair to anyone. I don't know your past, but after the mirror, you seem to have changed! You should make persistent efforts!"

Tomioka Yoshiyuki's Adam's apple moved, he lowered his head: "Yes."

These words should be quite pale, and I don't know if I listened or not.

They walked for a long time.The darkness is too deep, only the light spot in front of him is the only color.During this period, people can almost lose the ability to perceive.Finally reached the light source, but the light source turned out to be like a door.

Purgatory Kyojuro didn't hesitate any longer, and directly opened the door——

Snow, mountains and forests.

Young child standing on the tree.His eyes were a beautiful red, like a blazing fire.The hair was charcoal black, but the ends were red.He was wearing a thin kimono, standing on the tree with a blank face, his eyes were heavy, and he looked a little lost.His lips were light pink like cherry blossoms, but thin and tightly pressed.The unopened facial features are already exquisite and unique, and one can imagine what kind of appearance it will grow into in the future.

He is obviously only five or six years old, but for some reason it gives people a... indifferent look.

If it wasn't for such a strong color on his body... the two pillars would probably have regarded him as a grass and hurriedly skipped over him.Because the breath of "human" in him is too thin.

Purgatory Kyojuro turned his head abruptly, and Yoshiyuki Tomioka behind him had the same shocked expression.Butterfly Shinobi who was standing on one side greeted them: "Are you here too?"

"This is where?!"

Butterfly pointed to the little boy with red hair and red eyes on the tree, and said, "It's probably in his memory... I tried it before you guys came, and he couldn't see me, and I couldn't get out of his body to count within ten meters."

Worm Pillar showed a slightly troubled smile: "We seem to be trapped."

"..." Purgatory Kyojuro pondered for a while, "That is to say, we must follow Tanjirou to find the clues to get out?"

Butterfly held back his words: "But he has maintained this posture for a long time."

"?"

"I got here earlier than you guys. It was close to dusk when I came, and it's already night now. He has kept this posture, motionless..." Butterfly endured a little uneasy, "This reminds me of... Chanel Almost."

The three of them stood there, watching the boy above in silence for a while.

He stood there, his eyes still staring blankly into the distance.I don't know what the hell I'm looking at.If it wasn't for the rising and falling of his chest, Zhu even worried that he might have died.

"Is it true that he can't touch us at all?" Purgatory Xingshoulang was a little worried, "Such thin clothes..."

He took off the feather weaving on his body, and jumped onto the branch three times, trying to put the feather weave on the child's shoulders.

The child looks very cold.

...and very lonely.

The light haori fell from his shoulders, pierced Tanjiro's body, and landed on the branch.

The child finally moved, he raised his head in a daze, and then patted his shoulder with his hand.

He thought for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he stretched out his hand happily——

Snowflakes fluttered across his palm.

The faint light in his eyes dimmed.Kamado Tanjirou withdrew his hand back.He changed his posture, no longer standing stiffly, but leaning against the tree trunk and looking into the distance again.

Purgatory Kyojuro silently picked up Haori, and he returned to the two of them.Tomioka Yoshiyuki forcibly threw away his concern: "He can't see us, but he seems to be able to perceive us slightly. And he seems to be in a spirit-like state."

"Probably by this time I have drunk the light wine and become an existence beyond human beings." Purgatory Kyojuro looked down at the haori in his hand, remembering the way the child stretched out his hand to Bai Xue without any expression, his eyes It was dark for a moment, "...it looks like this. No wonder you don't want to mention it to me."

They waited patiently for a turning point.

The time flow here is exceptionally fast.As long as the three of them let go of their hearts at the same time, time can pass by quickly.I don't know on what basis.After dozens of nights and days, things finally changed.

A group of passers-by passed by.They were haggard, with black eyes and unshaven beards.Clothes were wrinkled too.Seems to have been lost in the woods for days.

When they walked past the same tree for the third time, the dull child finally reacted. He squatted down and pulled out a somewhat tired and comforting smile. That smiling face was very familiar to Tomioka Yoshiyuki... It was impressive. The expression that the insect master boy often showed himself.

Yoshiyuki Tomioka twirled his fingers: ...at such a young age, in such a helpless situation, he can still lend a helping hand to others...

He was a little dazed, but felt an inexplicable sense of stability in his heart.

Kamado Tanjiro is still that Kamado Tanjirou.He gradually became curious.What is the other party's past like?How did he go through it step by step and grow into what he is now?

Will this dream-like memory give him the answer?

"Are you lost? Do you need my help?"

The people below were startled, and there was a voice in the apparently empty place, and then a cute child suddenly appeared on the tree. This scene really reminds people of some wonderful stories: "Who are you?!"

The child opened his mouth, and before he could make a sound, another man said in surprise, "It's the mountain master! He's the wandering mountain master!!! He must have come to save us!!!"

Mountain Lord? !The eyes of those who had heard the rumors suddenly brightened. They knelt down without hesitation and cried bitterly on the ground: "O Lord of the Mountain—a kind Lord of the Mountain! Take us out of this maze! We have lost our way here for three years. My God!! In three days, our dry food ran out, and many people got separated... These three days are like a nightmare!"

Kamado Tanjiro thought for a moment.He jumped down from a tall tree, and the pillars on one side almost tried to pick him up and beat him up.Doesn't this bear kid know how tall the tree is? !How heartless it is to jump directly!

He stretched out his hand, and a strange lantern slowly emerged from his hand.Even though it was winter, the lanterns glowed like fireflies.

The boy's voice was crisp with a hint of hoarseness, as if the candy had been aged for a long time, and finally it came out with a sour taste.But such a voice inexplicably injected strength into this group of wandering people: "Don't kneel, come with me."

The mountain people followed the pace of the mountain master in panic.

The three pillars looked at each other and followed.

The road down the mountain made many twists and turns, and the courageous people who didn't know the rumors about the mountain owner said, "This is not the way we usually take."

"The light pulse arrives, and the mountain changes course." The boy turned his head and glanced at him sullenly, "Don't enter this mountain within three months. Only when the spring arrives next year."

The child was very evil, and his tone of voice sounded like someone from hundreds of years ago.There was an indescribable feeling.And it's a snowy day... actually only wearing this thin dress.Doesn't he feel cold?The wandering mountain master turned out to be such a person?The mountain people had goose bumps all over their bodies, and they followed the children tremblingly, determined not to speak any more.

...Let's just follow the other party's words for the time being.Anyway, there is really no need to go into the mountains these few months.

Purgatory Xingshoulang rubbed his chin: "This tone of voice... is a bit like a drug seller! Have the two of them known each other so long ago!"

"...Wait a minute." Kamado Tanjiro's ears moved slightly, and his eyes flickered a little, which made him finally look a little alive.He listened for a while, then turned back suddenly.Another branch was chosen at a fork in the road.

Branches go deep.Someone turned his back to the crowd with chattering teeth, holding a sickle in both hands, and shouted in horror: "Don't, don't come here!

"Hey!" The mountain people behind shouted in surprise, "I thought you were dead... so you are still alive!"

Kamado Tanjiro raised his head slightly.

Standing in front of the panicked man was a tall man.His hair seemed to have been splashed with blood, and he was wearing a strange costume.The folding fan in his hand gleamed sharply.He was calm and relaxed, with an arrogance that kept everything out of sight.

The wandering mountain owner tilted his head and whispered, "A monster?"

The man with rainbow-colored eyes looked at him with a smile, and there was a flash of interest in his eyes: "You are... the wandering mountain lord?"
