[Lord Demon Slayer: Hiiragi of Kuhara]

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

"Jade live, jade live, melt away the breath and condense into the soul."

I can't remember when this piece of music was made and who the author is.

But even in the days when he was controlled by Xiangshu and looked like a walking corpse, he often kept this song on his lips, and his heart and eyes were full of cultivating the living jade sung in that ballad.

"Although this jade is good, it is a pity that it is a dead jade. How can I make it a living jade?"

Looking at the jade in his hand, Yi Xiang muttered to himself more than once.

No one answered.

The mountains and rivers are lonely, and only the chirping of birds and insects is the only companion in the deserted sword mound that no one cares about.

Wearing a bamboo hat to shield the jade from the wind and rain, and relying on a vague memory to feed it with his own blood, he scraped his hands full of scars.If things go on like this, even if it is a pivotal body, those small wounds will become difficult to heal.

Until one day, a voice sounded in my mind.

"You want to raise living jade? It's very easy. You just need to kill Taiwu and his comrades, and use their blood to raise jade, and the raised jade will definitely be a peerless jade with blood!"

The surging black mud laughed and made a suggestion to him, successfully imprinting a hint in the chaotic mind.

"Is that so? Taiwu, just wait for Taiwu to come..."

……

In the forging room of the cottage, Taiwu Hiiragi sneezed, and Shi An, who was adjusting the strings, couldn't help but look away.

"Taiwu is sick, this is an ominous sign." He said, "Should I go to the medical clinic?"

"...just choking on the smoke."

Hiiragi finished speaking silently, took a sniff, and continued to polish his weapon.

The big battle is ahead, this is the final preparation, and there is no room for error.

Under the desperate battles of Taiwu in the past, there are still two sword mounds hiding the incarnation of Xiangshu in the world, and their trip is to solve one of them.

"But it's strange to say that the village is so peaceful even though the Sword Tomb is right next door." After adjusting the strings, Shi An looked at the bustling street scene outside the forge with soft eyes, "I asked them about the situation before. , and they all said that there has never been any monster attacking people... So you say, will the incarnation in the sword mound be a good one?"

"impossible."

"You don't have to be so heartless all the time."

"Shi'an, you are too relaxed." Hiiragi frowned, "They killed my master, my predecessors, so I can't take it seriously. If you say such things again, don't go to the sword. It's dead."

"That's not allowed," Shi An became serious, "You saved my life, and you have to be responsible to the end."

The meeting between the two was completely accidental. Two years ago, Shi An accidentally heard the secret of the Xuannv school's qin technique—Hai Ren Xiyi. While practicing, he was unfortunately discovered by disciples of the Xuannv Sect, and was hunted down, chased and intercepted. No matter how much he explained, it was useless, and even Baihuagu was unwilling to come forward for him.Until I met Taiwu Hiiragi who happened to pass by.

The young Taiwu heir kindly used the district's kindness to avert the disaster for him, but he was entangled ever since.

"...I regret it." Hiiragi said.

"Time cannot be turned back."

Shi An smiled back, then raised his chin with one hand and stared at him.

After a while, Taigo Hiiragi, who could see the maintenance of the weapon, could only speak again.

"What happened to you?"

"No, it's nothing." Shi An said, "I'm just thinking, when you will meet a man you like, maybe you will be softer than now. Oh yes, last time you went to the flower boat, you left halfway , or next time..."

"If you trick me into going to that kind of place again, we'll cut off our robes."

As if remembering something unbearable to look back on, Hiiragi's face turned dark again.

"Oh." Shi An shook his head and agreed, "Okay, it's all up to you."

……

Yuhuo, Yuhuo, like a child meeting someone for the first time.

Sitting on a rock dangling his legs.

Time is no longer an important thing to him. Anyway, he has been waiting for so many years, so it's not too late.

But today is different.

Looking at the vines on the dead wood that are green in the sun, I thought to myself.

Today, something is going to happen.

His hunch was right, after an unknown number of days and nights, finally at this moment, he heard someone else's footsteps coming from the sword mound.

It's Taiwu.Yi Xiang thought with incomparable certainty, obviously without any basis, but he was incomparably certain in his heart, and at the same time, a raging killing intent roiled in his mind.

Kill the people who come over, you are born to be an enemy.

Yi Xiang put his hand on the place where his heart was, and it was beating loudly. He didn't know whether it was because of the imminent battle, or because he was about to get the blood that could nourish living jade.

As if he was still alive.

Just then, he heard someone talking.

"A Hiiragi, are you sure that person is the incarnation of Xiangshu? He still looks like a child."

"If you can't do it, I'll just go there by myself."

"I don't mean that." The young man in a light-colored brocade shirt caught up to his companion with a condensed expression, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder. "It's just a joke. How can there be a child who has lived for so many years without changing his appearance?"

"Shut up, he's coming."

Under Taiwu's vigilant gaze, Yi Xiang lightly jumped off the rock where he usually sits, his eyes looked at Taiwu and his companions from the shadow under the bamboo hat, and the blue color flashed in his hand, turning into a whisk .

"You are Taiwu?" He asked quietly.

"Yes, he is Taiwu Hiiragi. What's your name? I'll buy you candy."

"Time!"

Taiwu, who tied his black hair into a neat ponytail, warned his companions loudly, and made a gesture with his palm-gloved hands.

"Okay, I see." Realizing that this battle must be endless, the young man in brocade shirt shrugged his shoulders, walked aside consciously, and put down Yaoqin, who had been holding him with one hand, "I don't understand your fights and killings." Damn it, I can only play a few tunes to cheer up the fun."

"Xuannv faction, Baihuagu... They all use music to kill people invisible." Yi Xiang squinted at him, "And you have a needle box hidden in your sleeve... I'm afraid it also contains stagnant and strong poison."

Shi An looked at him and smiled: "Don't expose it, it's so embarrassing."

But at the next moment, his pupils suddenly constricted.

The child with the whisk in his hand was already close at hand, his dark eyes were full of gloomy obsession, and the fierce aura that almost burned his breath rushed towards his face.

"As long as I kill you all, I can raise living jade...!"

Shi An didn't have time to react when he heard a loud bang in front of him.

The short, child-like incarnation of Xiangshu was violently sent flying, and hit a boulder not far away, splitting it apart.

"Your opponent is me."

Taiwu Hiiragi withdrew his palm, looked at it blankly, and then immediately rearranged his posture in the smoke and dust, and lowered the direction of the edge of the bamboo hat with his hand full of scars.

"My jade...I want to kill you and raise living jade..."

He murmured, like a thousand years of grievances.

……

Jade live, jade live, shame and popularity are often hidden.

That battle went on for a long time, from noon until the setting sun was getting warmer. Although he had the spell to turn into pieces of jade and escape all attacks, under the influence of the unavoidable sound of the piano, Yi Xiang was finally defeated.

"cough……"

Looking at the expressionless figure walking towards him with the hilt of Fu Yu's sword in his hand, he tried to wipe away the blood coughed up from the corner of his mouth.

"Skills are not as good as human beings, anyway, you all look down on me..." He said unwillingly, "One day, I want you to know that I have the talent of a fairy, and that I can cultivate unparalleled living jade... Heh, what is too much?" I, in the final analysis, I am just a despicable person who stepped on the corpse of the predecessor, don't you feel ashamed?"

"you……!"

Shi'an frowned and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Taiwu's wave. The taciturn man just recited the formula silently, and began to perform his duties to expel Xiangshu.

He himself was not much better, he was already covered in blood, if it wasn't for the disciple of Baihua Valley who could stop the bleeding and adjust his breathing, he might not even have the strength to stand at this moment.

After everything was over, Yixiang's mind gradually cleared up, and then he began to feel ashamed of his inexplicable obsessions in the past. He sighed for a while while singing, and gradually turned into a scattered jade and melted into the ground.

Then, as usual, he raised his eyes and looked elsewhere.

"Why don't you look at these jades?"

He heard Taiwu Hiiragi asking this, with a rare emotional ups and downs of doubt in his voice.

"This dead jade is too ugly. This kind of thing has only been raised for thousands of years. I don't have the face to look at it." After Yi Xiang finished speaking, he waited for the moment when his consciousness faded away.

But after a while, he heard Taiwu's voice again.

"I don't think it's ugly." Taiwu Hiiragi said, "And if you keep looking away, you don't know what you'll miss."

Yi Xiang disappeared, leaving only Rong Chenyin's sword hilt.

Hiiragi walked over and picked it up.

"...Don't you refute what he said just now?"

"No need." Hiiragi's eyes dimmed, "He's right, I'm a despicable person standing on other people's corpses."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Shi An sigh heavily.

"Any questions?"

"No, I just thought of something." Shi An hooked the corners of his mouth as usual, "Let's go, you are still injured, go to the village to find a doctor first."

Maybe he was wrong, what this person needs is not a gentle and fragrant jade, a lover who can give him a warm family.

Rather, it allows him to recover from the pain and find himself and his daily existence.

So, if anyone can make him smile without any scruples, even make a joke...

When Shi An thought of this, he sighed in his heart.

I can't do it.

……

Jade dies, jade dies, and the soil is not the soul.

Yixiang slept in the hilt of the sword, and spent thousands of years in peace and tranquility.

Rong Chenyin, who has no supernatural power, is not like the gifted Phoenix Cocoon or Guishenxia after all. He does not have the ability to exist alone without breaking away from the sword hilt, so he can only hide peacefully in the dark. What Taiwu said to him at that time.

Dead jade is obviously useless, only living jade is more attractive.

But the man said, I'm not ugly, and that doesn't seem like a lie...

Just thinking about it intermittently, until one day, his deep sleep was disturbed, and he opened his eyes in the infinite city of a different space.

"Use it for me, or die."

The black-haired ghost said so indifferently, but never took him seriously.After thinking for a while, he stood with other Xiangshu incarnations who refused to submit to the ghost king.

"Aren't you leaving with Shu Fang?"

The beautiful girl with birds flying by her side - Mo Nu asked him with concern on her face. Although she was wearing a long skirt, her sleeves were tucked up, her hair was hidden in her hair, but her hands were full of hidden weapons and needle boxes.

Jiu Han, whose body was covered with ice and whose skin was bruised, also said: "You don't have to die here, you can melt dust into jade, go out with Shu Fang to find those humans, there will always be someone who can deal with this ghost king."

It seems that because Yi Xiang looks like a child, these avatars who are not bad at all take good care of him.

So... do you want to escape?

Like in the past, turning into jade and melting into the ground, fleeing to a place where no one can see?

Somehow, he shook his head.

"I won't go." He stretched out his hand and lowered the brim of the bamboo hat, "I won't go...I'm with you."

Mo Nu was stunned for a moment, and then, as if looking at her younger brother who had finally grown up, she smiled gently.

"it is good."

Jade dies, Jade dies, and children will eventually meet adults.

Where else could he hide?Since the time when the gods still existed in the world, they have been avoiding danger. Once they encounter something they don't want to face, they will turn a blind eye or turn into jade to escape.

It's time for such days to come to an end, just like the afternoon dream after throwing away the book when you are tired, you should wake up.

Thinking about it, the seemingly innocuous words of that person came to mind again.

"Just look away and you don't know what you're going to miss."

It seems that I can understand the meaning of this sentence a little bit.

What happened after that was very boring, of course he couldn't beat the ghost king, the hilt of his sword was destroyed, and the core was also destroyed to kill him on the spot, turning into jade and gradually dissipating.But even so, there was no unwillingness or remorse in my heart.

Jade dies, Jade dies...

What's the next sentence?

It doesn't matter, the song that should have been forgotten long ago, let it go.

When he was about to die, he narrowed his eyes and remained silent for a while, then finally lowered his head and mustered up the courage to look at the broken jade.

There seemed to be a ray of light in his eyes.

Taiwu, you are right, I shouldn't look away.

Even if you are cooperating with that Xiangshu now, I want to give you this power. Dayueyao often gives you power to atone for her sins, but I really don’t want this scene in front of me to be seen by anyone——

Even if it is not living jade,

Even if there is no progress in the past thousand years,

Even if the skill is not as good as that of a human, and you die in the hands of a ghost,

But in the bright and dazzling light, the colorful jade stones are scattered,

really beautiful.

The author has something to say:

A little setting supplement, there are private settings:

I don't have a game setting where Jianzhong will become more and more difficult to play.

In other words, all avatars are hard to beat (dbq).

So in the end, Ah Hieng was able to kill the two avatars and defeat the real body of Xiangshu. Apart from being very strong, he did have the luck factor of being the last heir and inheriting the most power.

Of course, the moves that a person can use are limited. Although he can learn many exercises out of thin air, he can only specialize in some of them.If the talent is not high, even if you know it, you will not be able to exert enough power.

The first few generations of Taiwu were very tragic, so I won’t mention them here.

This episode is intended to supplement the reason why A Hiiragi can use "Suppress Prison to Subdue Evil" and "Melting Dust and Turning Jade" after becoming a phase pivot.

A new chapter will be released tomorrow.

I also want to wait for the progress of the Ghost Slayer comics. (When I write this, the progress is the 193th episode. The information has just come out.) I feel that some content is quite important, such as what the blue flower is. If you don’t know it, you are afraid of being caught Slap in the face.
