[Lord Demon Slayer: Hiiragi of Kuhara]

==============================

The skillful wooden man has complete hands and feet, can hold a sword, can throw stones, and seems to be alive. Because of his ingenious skills, it seems to be a ghostly creation, so it is named "Tianshu Xuanji".

In the bamboo houses scattered among the mountains, Kuhara Hiiragi visited Xiaotie's father. Although the swordsmith was almost sick, he still had all kinds of repair tools and materials needed for sharpening the knife by his side.

"It does sound somewhat similar to Enichi Zero Style." He nodded after listening to Kuhara Hiiragi's description.

"I heard that Yuanyi Zero Form was made by your ancestors," Kuhara Hiiragi said, "It is very similar to the legendary Tianshu Xuanji. I would like to ask how it was made."

"Although thank you very much for helping Xiaotie," the man's tone showed some difficulty, "but this matter..."

"I don't want to steal a teacher to learn art, it's just what I need for fighting."

"That's not the problem." Xiaotie's father sighed, "The technology has long been lost, otherwise there wouldn't be only one mechanism doll."

"...So that's the case, I'm really sorry to bother you here." Jiuyuan Hiiragi felt a little regretful, he failed to learn the Tianshu mystery of Zhujian Villa in his previous life, and this technology has long been lost in this life, it seems that there is no fate.

"Can I look at it again?"

The knifesmith who was bedridden nodded: "Please go ahead."

In the forest with swaying tree shadows, Kuhara Hiiragi placed one hand on the doll's arm, testing its production method with internal force.It's a pity that this human figure that has gone through more than three hundred years has dried up from the inside, and cracks have appeared, and it must collapse a little bit in the near future.I don't know if this is the reason, but it actually exudes a desolate atmosphere.

Kuhara Hiiragi withdrew his inner strength and looked at Yuan Yi Zero Style, while the latter just opened a pair of artificial, unwavering cold eyes, maintaining the movement of raising the knife and swinging it.

It is said that skillful craftsmen make wooden figures, paint their hearts with red blood, and empower them with true strength.

Then this puppet, whose blood is splashed on its heart?

……

A few days later, Kuhara Hiiragi left the swordsmith's village.

"Mr. Jiuyuan, you're back." Seeing him coming back, the people of the Fuji House instantly showed a long-awaited expression.

"Yes, I'm here to pick up Inosuke."

Before he left, he entrusted Inosuke to the care of Fuji House, and he didn't know what was going on now.Just thinking about it, Kuhara Hiiragi saw the child rushing towards him from the house.

"Kihara, you're talented!? How dare you leave me behind for more than ten days?"

Jiuyuan Hiiragi looked at the wild boar headgear rushing towards him, and unhurriedly took out a black-backed and blue-tailed...flying bird from his bosom.

"For you." He handed it forward.

I heard kids love this stuff.

What kind of thing is this, the meat is not enough to fit the teeth, Inosuke was about to kick Kuhara Hiiragi's leg with this thought, when he suddenly felt a chill on his head.

"It's so cold! What is this thing?"

He took two steps back abruptly, and found that a cold air came out from the opened mouth of the "flying barge bird".

"This is the Huanglong wooden kite I made." Although it was just a counterfeit, Jiuyuan Hiiragi added silently in his heart that he originally wanted to put gunpowder in it, but it was too dangerous to think about it. "When you are too emotional, it It will calm you down."

The yellow dragon wood kite he had seen in Zhujian Villa could not only fly and spin, but also had a claw and beak that could emit fiery flames, burning everything it pointed at. It was an extremely lethal weapon.But after all, he didn't learn it. During the few days in the village of swordsmiths, he tried to make that weapon into the shape of a flying barge. The lethality was not high, but it was better than dexterity and lightness.

"If you don't want it to emit cold air, just turn off the switch at the back." Kuhara Hiiragi said, "As long as you let it shine in the sun more, it will be fine for more than ten years of continuous activity."

"Who wants this stupid thing!"

"You can give it a name."

"Listen to people!" Inosuke slapped the flying bird in Kuhara Hiiragi's palm, but the thing spread its wings and flew away like a living thing. After circling in the air, it landed on Inosuke's headgear, " Kihara, do you want to beat me up by giving this thing to me?"

"But it's the same color as your hair."

"..."

"If you don't like it, I'll start again..."

"This is already Lao Tzu's property, don't even try to take it back!"

Has this kid reached the rebellious stage?Under the sun, Kuhara Hiiragi looked at Flying Bird and Inosuke who were making a mess again, and quickly shook his head in his heart to deny his own thoughts.

How could it be, Inosuke obviously never came out during the rebellious period.

Thinking of this, he turned around.

"Follow up."

"Oh, where are you going?"

"A mountain to the west of Sagiri Mountain, although I don't remember it, but it is said that it is my hometown." Kuhara Hiiragi felt that he still needed a stronghold, and he couldn't always leave Inosuke in the mountain or Fuji House when he was on a mission.

"I'm going to build a bamboo hut there."

A relatively safe and secret place is also required to carry out the next step of planning and preparation.

In the blink of an eye, the seasons change.

The past two years have been normal for Inosuke, except that Kuhara has been a little stricter on his training, nothing special has happened.

"So you're going to teach him everything?"

Looking at Inosuke, who was standing in the snow in the yard, put on a thick coat and began to swing a knife, Saitu asked.

"Yes."

Those few days coincided with the Chinese New Year, and he and a few of his classmates happened to be free, so they made an appointment to go to Sawu Mountain to visit Lintaki Zuojin.

Makoto was the first to arrive, Kuhara Hiiragi brought Inosuke with him, Sato with some reluctant courage, and Tanuki Shin...

"Miss Taozhi?"

Looking at the female hermit soldier beside Tanuki, Hiiragi Kuhara felt puzzled.

"Ah, that's how it is." The 20-year-old Tanukinosumi touched the scar on his nose, "We, that is, anyway... I don't have a father either, so I just want to bring her to meet Ryotaki-sensei... puff!"

He fell down clutching his stomach, while Taozhi on one side withdrew his fist and narrowed his eyes: "Sorry, this guy is not very good at talking."

Tanuki no Susumu must have been coerced.Kuhara Hiiragi couldn't help thinking, what is this?The relationship that started with the grace of a broken leg?

But the guy seemed happy and should be fine.

And Rinaki Zuo Jinji didn't say anything, just sat aside and drank tea silently.

It seemed that it was because of the biting cold that day, the letter crow did not bring any ghost news, Inosuke fell asleep early after finishing the training, and Master Rinaki left after a while.

The remaining few of them chatted for a long time. At first, because of Satu Shuizhu's identity, they were a little cautious, but I don't know when, the normal communication turned into a black history revealing contest.

The reason was that someone asked Yiyong about the origin of the wound on his hand.

"It's nothing." Yi Yong didn't seem to want to talk about this topic very much.

"Oh that, he was bitten by a dog when he passed by a residential house." After Sato finished speaking casually, the people next to him suddenly covered their mouths, and faced with Yiyong's sudden look at him, he was puzzled, " What's wrong?"

"Sakura," Yoshihiro thought for a while, "he's really cutting his hair with a sun wheel knife."

Let's go to hell together.

Satoshi: ...

After that, the scene became unmanageable for a while.

"Speaking of which, Hiiragi dragged me to sleep by the quilt when I was a child." Tanuki Shinosumu smiled maliciously.

Kuhara Hiiragi didn't speak, looked back at Inosuke, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he had fallen asleep.

"Really?" Satoshi smiled and looked at Kuhara Hiiragi, "You don't refute?"

"It's not necessary," Kuhara Hiiragi took a sip of tea, "After all, I could shoot him into the field when I was ten years old."

Tanuki gritted his teeth, and the shoulders of Taozhi next to him shook.

In this way, in the end, the only person standing on the battlefield is Makoto.

Jiuyuan Hiiragi thought for a while, and decided to drag her into the water: "Makoto, she once took advantage of Master Rinaki..."

"Huh?" The girl gave him a faint smile.

There was a coolness behind Kuhara Hiiragi.

"It's nothing."

Some small sounds came from outside the window, I don't know what time it is, and the fireworks rising from the nearby village can be seen in the distance, this seems to be a signal of the end, Taozhi first pulled Tanuki into the door.

"Then let's say goodbye."

Not long after they left, Sato also received a message from Raven, asking him to leave for another place.

"Zu is really busy." Makoto sighed, and Giyuu beside him also nodded.

"I think this is a good thing." Satoshi was very open-minded, "You can come to me if you need help in the future."

"Really?" Jiuyuan Hiiragi looked at him when he heard the words, "Then I won't be polite at that time."

Although Sato didn't know what he was talking about, he nodded: "Ah, just come."

This year, Kuhara Hiiragi.

……

After returning to the bamboo hut, it seems to have returned to the daily life of two years.

And just when it seemed that such days would last forever, a change happened suddenly.

It was a very ordinary sunny day. Kuhara Hiiragi was writing something in the bamboo hut. Inosuke is generally not interested in writing, but he couldn't help asking when he looked at what Kuhara Hiiragi had written that day. One line, "What the hell are you writing about?"

Like ghosts.

"It's a spell that can dispel disasters and ward off evil spirits." Kuhara Hiiragi replied, "When it's done, I'll send it to the lord."

He bent over his desk and drew one after another, and when he looked up, the sky was already full of sunset.

to start.

Kuhara Hiiragi, who put down his pen, suddenly felt a certain breath, and the bell of the setting sun had already been rung.

But let him wait too long.

"I'm going out for a while."

After making some preparations, he found Inosuke who was training in the yard, "When you go back, remember to boil the water, and don't forget to light the wisteria incense burner. You don't have to wait for me to come back today."

"Where are you going?" Inosuke asked.

"I made an appointment with the people at the bottom of the mountain to fight and weave."

"what?"

Kuhara Hiiragi didn't answer, but just waved his hand to him, his figure gradually disappeared at the end of his sight amidst the clamor of the child behind him, "Be careful put all your pants in".

Finally, he came to a wood at the foot of the mountain.

"The plan begins." Kuhara Hiiragi said.

After the words fell, he heard the sound of the raven's wings flapping in his ears, and his figure disappeared instantly.

The author has something to say:

Might be a bit rushed, but I think it's time to write this,

A certain boss in the next chapter.

The cross-chapter review fascinated me.
