The strongest ghost is too afraid of death

Xia Zhu stopped talking.

He stepped on the pool of blood silently, his steps were light, and the scarlet blood drops fell from the heel of his clogs, but he couldn't make any sound, everything was silent, only the faint friction of vegetation in the distance.

Qing Xiang blocked the stove door at the village gate.

The young man tugged at his sleeve, desperately trying to rush into the village.Qing Xiang held the back collar of the stove door with one hand, and put the other hand under the right arm of the stove door, forcibly stopping the boy from rushing in regardless of his remaining injuries.

"Tanjiro, calm down, impulsiveness won't solve any problems."

"Senior! The villagers... the villagers who saw us off in the morning! Even though the Ghost Slayer Squad is already standing here, they didn't save anyone! Senior, their deaths are my responsibility!"

The stove door roared hoarsely in his arms, struggling uncontrollably, the sun wheel knives on the sides of the two of them collided under the violent movement, making a crisp 'jingling' sound.

Qing Xiang lowered his head to look at the congested eyeballs of the stove, and mentally evaluated the result of letting go at this moment.

I'm still not very calm, I haven't taken medicine and have been running all day, and then I am stimulated to go crazy... I don't want to see the picture of the awakening of the day-by-day successor.

If Zaomen struggles with all its strength and cannot stop it with the strength of 'Qing Xiang You Kang', is it subconsciously pulling back to worry about hurting me or the residual poison?

"Senior—! It's not dark yet, that ghost can't kill everyone in a flash, he must still be in the village! Don't stop me!"

Qing Xiang explained patiently:

"The village doesn't smell like ghosts. Tanjiro, calm down, this is the end of the matter, reckless recklessness will only do bad things with good intentions."

"He's here! He's here! I can smell it!"

It was probably the anger rushing to the brain for a moment, or maybe it was the hope in Zaomen's heart, which was clearly a lie, but the strength in Zaomen's body gradually recovered, filling his limbs with his breathing.Qing Xiang gradually couldn't stop the struggling young man, the harder he tried to restrain him, the more pain he felt from the hidden wound on the puppet's arm.

As a result, Kamado Tanjiro not only did not calm down, but the Hi no Breath who had been silent for several months showed signs of resurgence.

really.

It was to prevent this that he came to the gate of the village and waited for guards. Qing Xiang was already prepared.

The always gentle and kind 'brother' yelled at the kitchen door for the first time:

"Kamado Tanjiro! Do you want us to waste all our efforts?!"

The stern and angry voice, the strength of clenched shoulders, the indisputable hatred in the eyes that were staring straight at him, layer upon layer, turned into a bucket of bone-piercing cold water, pouring Zaomen Tanjirou all over his body. , the heat that spread from the heart was also forced back to its original position by this cold force.

After calming down, I belatedly realized the numbness that spread all the way from the limbs to the spinal cord.His fingertips were trembling slightly, he was panting heavily, and the vision on his retina was overexposed.

"I...but..."

The forced breathing method brings overwhelming fatigue, and the pain in the internal organs rises and falls with the breathing.

The gasping young man clenched his fists tightly, his thumbs with white knuckles firmly pressed into his fists, his dry eyes were filled with confusion, his eyes were shaking with Qing Xiang's and he asked:

"Everyone who was supposed to be protected... died behind our backs, even so... are you still calm?"

If Qing Xiang was an ordinary soldier, he might have been questioned. His blocking behavior was not very legitimate, at most six or seven points.

Of course, Qing Xiang's first priority is to suppress the development of Sun's Breath. To achieve his goal, he must forcibly turn six points into ten points.

"Even so, you must calm down, you have to calm down. Kamado Tanjiro, do you want to look in the mirror and see what you look like now? Impulsive, angry, like a beast without reason, making no preparations and only relying on brute force to break through Enemies who know nothing, is this how the trainer taught you? Has the Demon Slayer Squad relied on brute force to support it so far?"

Zaomen's attitude was slightly loosened, but he was not completely persuaded, and retorted unwillingly and persistently: "If it's senior and Mr. Shitou, the three of us may not be able to kill the crescent moon ghost! Don't miss this opportunity and never come again, evil ghost!" If you run away from the Jiutu Sancao, you won't have the chance to avenge everyone next time!"

Indeed, the ghost runs so fast that it disappears at nightfall, and it is still uncertain whether the ghost can be found again.

Qing Xiang couldn't explain why Zaomen was blocked from entering the village to follow him, but he could find another loophole in Zaomen's words: "You just said 'he is in the village, you can smell it', you are lying to me."

"……I."

Zaomen pursed his lower lip.The lie that was dazzled by anger before could no longer be affirmed with a clear conscience when he was sober, and his thoughts were caught in a moment of panic.

The initiative returned to Qing Xiang's hands again, he took a step back at the right time, touched the top of the kitchen door, and comforted the boy in front of him with his signature soft voice:

"Tanjiro, I understand your feelings, but the ghost is indeed not here. Tokito-san has already stepped into the village to check the situation. I stopped you just to prevent you from being too impulsive to disturb the investigation. Now, calm down, I will take you into the village , okay?"

The breath of the sun has been extinguished, Zaomen is now exhausted, Qing Xiang doesn't need to be too afraid, and it can be evidence that he did not deliberately block it.

"..."

Time passed, and finally, the boy whose head was touched by him closed his eyes, shrugged his shoulders, and felt powerless negativity and sadness.

"...I'm sorry, Brother Youkang, I was impulsive. I struggled too hard just now... Are you okay?"

The boy with his head down raised his eyes upwards, like a listless rabbit, with a sense of shame.

Perhaps because of this shame, or perhaps because of these words, Zaomen began to call him 'elder brother'.

It worked—after all, Zaomen was the only one who could do it.

Qing Xiang pressed hard on the top of the boy with his head hanging down, and he roughly grasped the thoughts of the kitchen door, and his tone carried the reprimand of the elders: "It's okay, but you can't do it like this next time. I praised you in the morning and don't worry about it, but in the end, I became impulsive at night." Regardless of the consequences."

Zaomen's shoulders collapsed even more, "I'm sorry..."

"Come."

Qing Xiang stretched out his hand towards the stove door again.

This time the stove door was closed obediently, and the young man quietly followed Qing Xiang's lead into the pool of blood in the village.

There were corpses all over the ground, and the strength of holding Qing Xiang's palm was getting stronger and stronger, but Zaomen forced himself to open his eyes and look at it, gritting his teeth to hold back the angry gulp in his throat.

As soon as he stepped into the village gate, at the corner of his line of sight, Xia Zhu with long black hair and sapphire eyes stood there, looking at the two of them quietly.

He has been standing here for a while, but the corner to the outside of the village is covered by a wall, the two people outside the village can't see him, the stove door was dazzled by anger, maybe they didn't notice it, but Qing Xiang had noticed it for a long time, so it was no surprise, he walked over Dead bodies all over the place greeted him.

"Shi Tousang, do you have any clues?"

Xia Zhu retracted his gaze from the palms of the two and nodded.

"Here, no corpse is missing."

Qing Xiang instantly realized what Xiazhu meant.

"It means that the purpose of ghosts entering the village is not cannibalism."

Xiazhu nodded quietly again.

"Is that because of...killing people for fun? Just because of a moment of pleasure, taking everyone's life...is shameful."

The possible speculation made Zaomen clench his molars, but he had just experienced it, and he kept taking long breaths in an attempt to regain his composure.

Qing Xiang thought of more.

The purpose of Ban Tiangou's trip is to find the blue Biantian flower. He drew such a big pie for Ban Tiangou. Seeing how Ban Tiangou looks like before leaving, he should be very hardworking.

The original intention of Ban Tiangou's proposal to Bei'an Ren was to swear that he had obtained the exact information of the blue Bianhua, so Bei'an Ren simply combined Ban Tiangou's proposal with Qing Xiangyoukang's promotion.

If there are really blue Bana flowers, it is enough to pick them with the strength of a half-day dog.

If the dog can't find the blue Bianhua for a long time, he will use the information of "The Fifth of the First String" that he is looking for the Cyan Bianhua, add fuel and make it into the fact that "the ghost king is eager to find the Cyan Bianhua", combined with the fact that "Zhu" has the right to speak in the ghost killing team and overall planning, proposed to the head of Ubuyashiki that the "Ghost Slayer Squad look for the blue flower of the other side while going out on a mission", in order to change the stalemate of hundreds of years, from "the Ghost Slaughter Squad broke through the iron shoes and actively searched for the traces of ghosts" to "sitting on the Cyan Bianhua (or just information), waiting for the ghosts to come to the door, one by one to break or catch'.

The ghost killing team has been looking for the whereabouts of Oni Wu Tsuji for so many years, even if they use previous lords as bait to lure Oni Wu Tsuji to slay ghosts.

Thinking too much, anyway, now back to the beginning, Ban Tiangou claimed that the traces of the 'Blue Bana Flower' were not groundless, and the massacre of the village was probably one of the actions of Ban Tiangou looking for the Cyan Bana Flower.

The three of them were silent, and Qing Xiang's deep thinking was not noticeable.

In the silence, he raised his head and looked around the entire dilapidated village with thoughtful eyes.

Here, is there a trace of the blue Bana flower?
