[Lord Demon Slayer: Hiiragi of Kuhara]

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

After that, Ayari Chie never appeared again, and even Ayari Zhuhe stayed behind closed doors.

"Until tomorrow night's ceremony, neither Zhu nor Lord will meet anyone." The guard in front of the clan's mansion said so, rejecting their visit.

In this way, until the evening of the next day, no other troublesome things happened.

"Mr. Rabbit!"

Near the gate of the branch house, Ayari Yuzo greeted the swordsman approaching from the direction of the main family's mansion.

"That direction... have you gone to find Master Zhu He?"

"Yeah, but I was stopped by the guards." Saito nodded, as if he had expected this result, he looked past Ayari Yuzo and looked at the busy residents, "What did you encounter?" Are you in trouble?"

"While counting the ingredients, I don't know who ordered three more boxes of mochi and chicken," Ayari Yuzo showed a toothache expression, "I wanted to return it, but the barrier won't be opened until the festival is completed. , We can’t even return the goods, we are discussing how to deal with it.”

"……Thanks a lot."

"It's nothing, I'm born without spiritual power, so it's a little bit more to be able to do more for the family." He looked at the list in his hand and said, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, just now, Lingli... Chie-sama came, let I have a word for you."

"There seems to be news of ghosts, so she took Mr. Jiuyuan to the shrine, and she won't come back until the festival."

"I see."

"Well, do you have anything about the three boxes of mochi and chicken... Mr. Sato?"

Ayari raised her head, only to see that the person had disappeared.

……

"Why be on guard?"

Rows of candles are lit between the séances at the shrine.Sitting in the middle was Chie Ayasato who was dressed in white and looked relaxed.

"The avatar of Xiangshu is nearby."

The incarnation of Xiangshu, the embodiment of all phases, is the nine sword mounds that appeared before Xiangshu's real body appeared. If they are not defeated as soon as possible, they will gradually erode the surrounding villages and human beings.

"They turned themselves into human beings with their bodies. If they don't get rid of their incarnations in time, I'm afraid everyone will be doomed."

——From the beginning, the master taught him this way.

"But you should not be Taiwu anymore, there is no need to be enemies with them." Chie narrowed her eyes, "Or are you just for some personal grievances that you will never forget?"

The ghost with dark eyes raised his head and glanced at her silently. He didn't ask her why she knew about his past, but replied briefly: "They are evil ones, and they must be expelled even for the sake of the righteousness of the world."

"Why do you assert that the incarnation of Xiangshu is evil?" The lazy psychic smiled, "As far as I know, those souls residing in the hilt of the sword are involuntary, and even a few of them are responsible for saving the world. , is a great man."

What kind of face is there to call greatness when the world is in chaos and the people are living in dire straits?

Jiuyuan Hiiragi looked at her expressionlessly: "You just came to me to talk nonsense?"

Before Satoshi went to find Zhu He, he had told him that if he met Ayari Chie, he would follow her, but no matter what, he couldn't do anything.

"Of course not," Ayasato Chie denied, "I'll let you face up to everything you admire, everything you respect, everything you believe without thinking."

"I've come to rip the curtain."

……

The shrine in Cangyuan is located on the mountainside away from the residential area, and there is a long step leading to the torii gate.

In preparation for the ceremony, two rows of snow cave lights were placed on both sides of the steps, from the foot of the mountain all the way up to the end of the stone steps.

And there, there was a person standing there.

A woman in a purple kimono stood on the top step, and the wind blew her long black hair and white head shawl.Even though it was far away, Satu could still notice her sharp gaze staring at him.

He was about to say something when he saw Lingli Zhuhe take something out of his sleeve and threw it down.

Appears to be a piece of paper.

The wind was strong, but the paper still quickly fell towards him without any deviation.

After it got closer, Sato noticed that it wasn't just paper.

It's a spell similar to those on the immobilized people.

"It's really you."

He frowned and put his hand on the handle of the knife. With a flash of light from the knife, the talisman was split into two, and slowly fell on the snow and turned into ashes.

"Master Zhu He, I thought you would at least not be an enemy of the Ghost Killing Squad."

"Kurain no Sato and the Demon Slayer Squad are in a cooperative relationship, and this will not change."

Ayasato Akatsuki said, holding a charm from the sleeve of the kimono again.

"My mission is to keep Xiangshu and those who stand on Xiangshu's side in this barnyard. But considering that you have meritorious service in killing ghosts... how about this? As long as you don't make unnecessary resistance, wait for tomorrow's sunrise Rise up, and I'll let you go."

Sabito ignored her suggestion and pointed the tip of his knife at her.

"Where is Hihira?"

……

"What do you think I brought you to the shrine for?"

"I don't know," Kuhara Hiiragi replied truthfully, he just followed because Sato let him meet Ayari Chie and followed, "But Kishenka was killed by my master, so it's probably to deal with me."

Chie sighed, "I knew you would say that. But do you know how your sister evaluates your master?"

how could I know.Kuhara Hiiragi thought.But most of them are sworn enemies.

"She said it was her benefactor."

It took Kuhara Hiiragi a few seconds to react, he raised his head in disbelief, but saw Ayari Chie's rarely serious expression.

"She said that thanks to your master who expelled her, she was freed from the shackles of Xiangshu."

"At that time, she bowed to your master to the ground."

……

Charms are a little trickier than you might think.

It was obviously just a thin piece of paper that struck from the air, but it seemed to be spiritually following the enemy's footprints and hindering him from going forward.

"But since it can be cut off, it will be a matter of time to climb the steps——you don't think so, do you?"

Facing another round of attacks, Satu raised his knife to chop, but suddenly noticed that the color of the talisman was different from the previous one, and subconsciously dodged to dodge.

The spell landed on the tree behind him with a bang, and the tree instantly started to burn as if struck by lightning.

The burnt smell came with the wind, making people subconsciously tense up.

"The reaction is very quick," Lingli Zhuhe praised, "That's a lightning-calling talisman. If you had just struck with a knife, it would be your knife that broke now."

With a flick of her sleeve, several spells drew meteor-like tracks in the air, flying towards Satu from all directions.

"It is indeed the comrade Taiwu Hiiragi chose, but what happens next?"

"...What Taiwu?"

Before Sabito could finish his sentence, there was only an afterimage of the azure blue sun wheel sword and the swordsman himself.

Water Breathing - Nine Shapes - Water Spray.

Sword skills and steps complement each other, flexibly dodging those attacking spells, and raising snow dust on the ground.

All in one!Breath of Water - Shape of Land - Twist the Vortex!

With the help of snow and wind, several kinds of charms were collected in one place by the water flow carried by the Sun Wheel Knife, and they were slammed and flew out, hitting the deep forest in the distance.

"That's right, of course you don't know."

Facing the swordsman who broke through the vast snow fog and attacked him, Zhu He remained calm.

"How could you know what happened thousands of years ago?"

Varied……

Sato stopped abruptly, not just because of Zhu He's words, but because he suddenly saw a thick layer of densely packed spells on the steps that had been swept away from the snow in front of him.

Purple... Is it a thunderbolt?

It's too late to avoid it, if you dodge in embarrassment, you will only expose your flaws.

His silver eyes froze, and he found the gap and threw the knife in his hand.

"Chong!"

The sound of gold and iron colliding suddenly sounded, and in Zhu He's surprised eyes, it was an ancient bronze token thrown out of his hand after being hit by a knife.

At the same time, Sabito also stepped on the steps covered with spells.

Nothing happened, the spell was not triggered.

Bet right.He stared at the falling Sun Wheel Knife, thinking secretly.It seems that to activate the spell, you must use the token.

The Sun Wheel Knife returned to the swordsman's hand in an instant, and from the beginning to the end, the blade was not stained with a speck of dust.

After a few short dashes, the azure blue blade rested on Ayari Zhuhe's neck, completely reversing the situation.

"I won't hurt people." Saito didn't take back the knife, "But if you stop me again, I won't be afraid of fighting."

……

"So now you understand, what she hates is not you as Taiwu, but Xiangshu."

"...What do you know?"

"There should be quite a lot." Ayasato Chie said, "Although I have never left Kurin-no-sato, this is a village that has been established for a thousand years after all. I have heard a lot of those ancient myths and legends."

"How do you feel when you see the person in the myth and legend with your own eyes?"

"Of course I'm very happy!" The girl smiled at him, "Everyone would yearn for a hero in mythology. Whether it's the legendary Taoist magic method or the descendant of Taiwu, I feel that I can see you now. Incredible."

Looking at her seemingly carefree smile, Kuhara Hiiragi just remained silent.

"But when it comes to heroes, you must mention that one." Chie crossed her arms and thought for a while, "The one who killed countless evil spirits in his life and lived for 700 years... Dayue Yaochang."

"What kind of hero is he?" The moment he heard the name, Kuhara Hiiragi frowned, "He said that the sky is thick and the earth is clear, but when facing innocent people, he swung his knife indiscriminately and killed him." , this kind of hypocritical scum, you actually say that he is..."

"Yeah, if it wasn't for Xiangshu's evil spirit, how could he not be able to tell whether he was facing a human or a demon?"

"..."

Kuhara Hiiragi looked at the psychic who was smiling at him, and secretly clenched his fists.

"Let's not talk about it, compared to these, is it really okay to let your companion fight alone?" Seeing him shaken, Chie accepted it as soon as she saw it, "Although my sister is now a human being, she is still very strong."

"At least one pillar of the Ghost Killing Squad cannot be dealt with."

……

"Clap."

The snow on the trees suddenly fell, like an ominous omen.

Just as the swordsman was about to ask something, he suddenly saw birds in the forest flying up in fright, snow fell from the trees and eaves, and even the ground trembled slightly.

Immediately afterwards, before he could realize whether it was an earthquake or something else, his eyes turned red.

"You should have heard the name 'Ghost God Xia', but do you know why I am called that?"

Hearing her words, Sabito seemed to realize something, and suddenly put away the Hi-ri-knife, and turned to look at the sky behind Ayari Zhuhe.

"..."

Breathing stopped at that moment.

The vast snow field in the distance rises ten thousand zhang into the sky like waves, forming a fog curtain, and in the fog curtain, a magnificent rainbow is born in an instant, dyeing the originally light clouds into a gorgeous one in an instant.

The fiery red sunset was extremely dazzling, as if it was hanging over Lingli Zhuhe's head, and the figure of the woman was like the god of Amaterasu.

"Rihong Xiaxuan, this is the glow of gold."

The prosperity of the floating world is isolated, and the red sky is so beautiful.In Cangyuan Village at the foot of the mountain, passers-by who were busy with the ceremony also stopped to watch, some expressed their admiration, and some put their hands together in prayer.

"Master Gongzi is protecting us!" someone said.

And before this power that can change the world, there is only one thought left in Sato's mind——

A Hiiragi...or A Hiiragi's master, has he ever faced such an opponent?

"I changed my mind. The Ghost Killing Squad is indeed stronger than I thought."

The token on the ground dissipated as a ray of light, and then appeared in the hands of Lingli Zhuhe. At this time, she no longer concealed her sharpness, and her gaze was like a sword examining Sato with a surprised expression.

"How about making a deal?" she said.

"As long as Xiangshu is allowed to stay here, I will make an exception and use a law that defies the sky, so that the sun and the moon will shine together. At that time, no matter how capable the ghost king is, he will only die without a place to die."
