Metasequoia Blade

"This is a real disaster."

Ubuyashiki Teriya looked at everything in front of him, and sighed for a long time before saying.

The Taisho Era slowly came to an end. Before the curtain ended, a violent earthquake occurred in the entire Kanto region, and the disaster was serious.

With the death of the ghost king Oni Wu Tsuji, the curse of the Ubuyashiki clan disappeared, and Ubuyashiki Yoya got the eclipse essence, and his health improved a lot. However, because of his poor health, he spent most of his days recuperating in country houses.

Ubuyashiki Teriya is now 16 years old and has become the pillar of Ubuyashiki's family.

When the earthquake broke out, Teriya Ubuyashiki went out to inspect the property. Yoya Ubuyashiki and Mrs. Amane were in the country house.

Ubiyashiki Teriya was followed by Beimingyu Xingmei, who was protected by Beimingyu Xingmei, and Ubuyashiki Teriya was not injured.

Just looking at the scene of the victims being displaced after the disaster, Ubuyashiki Teriya felt quite sad.

In the face of natural disasters, human power is insignificant.

Ubuyashiki Teriya immediately began to count the family and property losses.

It has only been a few years since the death of Oni King Oni Mai Tsuji. Although some members of the Demon Slayer Squad have returned to society, there are still more members of the Demon Slayer Squad and members of the Hidden Troop scattered to work in the Sanyashiki industry.

These people have very strong physical fitness, and because they have fought with ghosts, their minds are far superior to ordinary people, so the Ubayashiki family recovers quickly, and they even have enough time to help people who have been affected by disasters around them.

Half a year after the catastrophe, Ubayashiki Teriya was awarded an honorary title by the government and expanded the influence of the Ubayashiki clan for his contribution to actively helping the victims and maintaining peace in one area.

While Ubuyashiki Teriya was busy developing his family, a piece of news was handed to him by the hidden army.

The earthquake affected a wide area, and almost all the villages living in hidden valleys and forests were destroyed. After the disaster, it is difficult to get government support for such places. After all, rescue must be a priority from the government's point of view.

At this time, the spontaneous rescue of the people is needed, and the original ghost killers dispatched by Teriya Ubuyashiki took on this role.

A member of the ghost killing team found that hidden village. Due to the earthquake, almost all the people in the village died, and even the corpses began to rot and mold.

The members of the Demon Slayer Squad spread the news with a heavy heart, and then searched around the village.

Deep in a nearby valley, he found an abandoned mansion with many dead bodies around it.

At first, the Ghost Killers didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was a family living alone.

He helped to clean up the scene, and when no living person was found, he marked and left, and waited for the people from the Hidden Army to come over to bury the corpses.

After dealing with all this, the night fell, and the team member simply rested in the nearby forest. Anyway, the ghost slaying team members used to often sleep in the mountains to kill ghosts.

That night, the team members had a strange dream.

"I dreamed a story about a worm."

Back then, because of Izawa Sugi, the Ghost Killing Team bought a lot of fake light wine, and Sister Butterfly helped to make a special medicine with peaches. Almost all members of the Ghost Killing Team had eaten this kind of thing.

Although the amount of light alcohol contained in the medicine is so scarce that the team members cannot see the worms, but as the battle time and frequency increase, more and more medicines are consumed, and some talented players can see the worms at special times when the world changes. of.

— such as a solar eclipse.

The ghost killer who came to support was one of them.

... Or to put it another way, the members of the Demon Slayer Squad who can make it to the first level are also very good talents. Back then, when Kana Kurikaro became a member as a stepson, she didn't exceed the second level.

After receiving the news, Ubuyashiki Teriya frowned.

After the team member discovered that he was dreaming, he stayed there for a few more days. He dreamed every night, dreaming of different stories about worms.

Then the members of the Hidden Troop who supported him in the past also dreamed, as if there was an unknown existence that was constantly releasing messages about worms.

After about half a month of surveying, Ubuyashiki Teriya confirmed that the scope of the dream was spread around the hidden valley for a radius of a hundred miles. He immediately sent people to buy the land and set up a cordon to prevent ordinary people from entering rashly.

Insects are natural substances between heaven and earth, which can turn people into ghosts or worms.

It is best not to have too much involvement between humans and insects, this is a warning from Mr. Yin Gu, the insect master.

"It's a pity that Mr. Yin Gu didn't come out after entering the virtual acupoint."

After reporting to Yoya Ubayashiki, Teriyaki Ubayashiki said with some emotion: "We can only set up a fence first, and ordinary people are prohibited from entering and leaving."

Yuya Miyayashiki agreed with his son's judgment with a sigh.

Two years later, a news came that the worm master Yin Gu came out from the hole of Xu Cave! !

Yuya Ubuyashiki was very happy when he received the news, which means that his team members will definitely be able to come back in the future!

Yin Gu looked quite tired, and his whole body was drooping.

how to say?It is true that people will get lost in the empty acupoint, but if they have no chance to enter the light veins after death and are kicked out by the light veins, it will be too miserable.

Yingu has no fixed place to live in, and there is no place to stay.

This time, he was even more disgusted by Xu acupoint and Guangmai, and Yin Gu was in a bad mood.

"A person like me who has no faith is not completely lost, and even came back. Your team members have firm beliefs and will definitely come back."

Ginko said this to Yoya Ubuyashiki.

Although it was a bit depressing to be driven back by Xuxuan and Guangmai, the welcoming words of "Welcome back" by Yoya Yashiki made Gingo feel a little better.

Obtaining Ginko's affirmative answer, Ubuyashiki Yoya heaved a sigh of relief.

Then he talked about the strange events that happened after the earthquake: "My children said it was a commotion caused by insects. If you still have the energy, can you go there and investigate?"

Yin Gu blew out a smoke ring and said lazily, "All right, I'll go and have a look."

It was his duty to resolve the conflict between humans and insects.

Ubuyashiki Yaozai thanked Yin Gu very much, and asked Beiming Yu Xingming to go with him. After all, Yin Gu just came back and might need help.

Gingo originally thought that it was just a panic caused by ordinary insects, but when he followed the ghost killer team to Nachu Valley, his heart was full of panic and worry.

"This is...the village where the Karabaka family lives."

The insect master family that sealed the natural disaster, could it be that...

Ginko quickly connected the big earthquake that Ubuyashiki Yoya said before, and his face was extremely ugly.

"Is a natural disaster coming?"

Amitabha cried out in mournful Yu Xingming, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Yin Gu?"

Yin Gu looked as if he was crying, but also seemed to have nothing.

He looked at the once familiar hills and grasslands and the villages in the distance, and said after a long time: "Master Beimingyu, wait for me here."

"The relationship between humans and insects is very complicated. Sometimes insects will bring disasters to humans, but for insects, it is just a normal existence, but human beings suffer because of such existence..."

Yingu took a deep breath: "There was once a kind of insect that brought great disasters to human beings. The ancestors of the Shufang family's insect masters sealed the insects in their bodies. As the blood was passed down from generation to generation, each generation of the Shufang family's insect masters It is the human pillar of the Scourge Worm..."

Having said that, Beimingyu Xingming understood Yin Gu's meaning in a trance.

"Could it be that the previous major earthquake disaster was a natural disaster caused by worms? The human pillar that sealed the worms..."

Ginko said in a difficult voice: "...I'll go in and have a look. If I don't come out, Mr. Miyashiki, please seal this place completely, and no one is allowed to come in."

Beimingyu Xingming nodded slowly: "I understand, please be careful."

Yin Gu walked into the valley alone with the medicine box on his back.

Beimingyu Xingming waited outside for three days and three nights, and on the morning of the fourth day, Yin Gu came out.

Beimingyu Xingming was blind and couldn't see Yin Gu's pale and sad expression, but he could judge Yin Gu's mood was terrible through Yin Gu's heavy footsteps.

Amitabha cried out in mournful Yu Xingming, and he said in a low voice: "Mr. Yingu, my condolences..."

"...Ah, it's okay."

Yin Gu's expression was dazed for a moment, and then turned into calm: "They will all return to the vein of light and meet again in the long river of life."

except him.

Yin Gu took out a blank book from his arms: "There are indeed worms in it, but it's not so much a worm, it's better to say it's a book page that records stories about worms left by Danyou's family."

"After a catastrophic earthquake, this book became a worm because it recorded stories about worms."

Yin Gu sighed: "Insects will attract insects, I don't know what effect this book will have, but... this book is used to seal disasters, it will fulfill people's wishes, but when wishes come true , It also shows that disaster is coming."

Bei Mingyu Xingming gasped after hearing this: "Then we must keep this book well."

Yin Gu: "Find a shrine or something and enshrine it."

After a pause, Yin Gu suggested: "Or put it in Yokohama, with the living mountain lord Izawa, the light veins in his body can suppress this book."

Beimingyu Xingming took the book solemnly, and said, "I understand, I will report the matter to the lord."

Bei Mingyu Xingming put away the book, he heard Yin Gu's footsteps turning and leaving.

"Mr. Yingu?" Beimingyu Xingming asked in bewilderment.

Yin Gu carried the medicine box on his back and turned his back to Beimingyu Xingming, he waved his hand: "I won't go back."

Sorrowful Yu Xingming: "But..."

Yin Gu's tone was as calm as stagnant water: "I can't stay in one place for too long, this matter has been dealt with, and the rest will trouble you to deal with the aftermath."

The man with short silver hair and ice green eyes looked at the distant horizon.

In a daze, he remembered the scene when he helped a woman named Karabou Danyou with a light smile climb up the grass together and watched the sun gradually rise.

"People are always different."

Yin Gu raised his hand to rest his forehead, lifted the hair in front of his eyes, revealing another empty eye socket.

The wind blew across the distant hills, and the grass swayed with the wind.

"We keep moving forward, maybe one day far away, we will meet in an unknown place."

Yin Gu let out a long breath, and left without looking back.

Sorrowful Yu Xingming [watched] watching Yin Gu leave, clasped his hands together: "Amitabha..."

Since then, Beimingyu Xingming has never received any news about Yin Gu, nor has he seen the insect master who once brought hope to the Ghost Killing Team.

The man disappeared between the sky and the mountains.

Behind the mountain is the sea, maybe he is on the other side of the sea.

It's like the distance between a person and an insect, close at hand, yet out of reach.
