Chapter 62: A Sudden Change
"What kind of noodles are you going to eat? What about your sister? ”
In the ramen shop, Ryusha looked at Tanjiro and Youdouzi and asked.
"I'll just have an udon noodle, you don't want to eat the beans now."
Tanjiro replied as he shrugged his nose slightly, and he unexpectedly smelled a hint of pleasure from Ryuxia's body, which surprised him a little.
He had always thought that Ryuxia was the kind of person who would never show the slightest emotion no matter what happened, but since he had answered his question just now, his originally mechanical lifeless mind seemed to have changed somewhat.
Although he didn't know why, Tanjiro knew that Ryuxia should be very satisfied with some aspect of their brother and sister, so he showed a happy mood.
"One udon and one soba should be hot."
Ryutsu ordered from the shopkeeper and sat down at the table with the Tanjiro siblings.
"You just said that your sister became a ghost because she was contaminated with the blood of a ghost, right?"
Ryusha sat on one side of the table and asked the brother and sister sitting opposite, "Do you know the name of the ghost who turned your sister into a ghost?" ”
"I know, I've heard about it from Mr. Scale, the cultivator who taught me breathing techniques and sword skills."
Tanjiro's face became serious, "There is a demon ancestor in this world, and the blood on his body has the ability to turn people into ghosts, and he has lived from thousands of years ago to the present, and it is he who turned your beans into ghosts, and he is also the one who killed my family!" ”
"His name is - Onimai Tsuji no miserable!"
The ancestor of ghosts, the ghost dance Tsuji is not miserable.
Although Ryuxia knew a lot of information about the Oni Ancestor from the next, the only thing he didn't know was the name of the Oni Ancestor.
According to the next one, it was because the ancestor of the demons, Onimai Tsuji, added a curse to his own blood, so that any being who became a ghost through his blood could not tell his true name.
As soon as the name 'Onimai Tsuji no Miserable' is uttered from their mouths, a curse lurking in the blood erupts and kills the oni, so even Ryuxia has heard of the name of the oni king for the first time.
That's right, in addition to the Sun and the Sun Wheel Knife, there is another way to kill the oni, and that is the absolute control of the Oni King's life over the lives of the cannibal demons under his command.
All the ghosts in this world were created by Onimai Tsuji Mumi, according to the next one, Kimai Tsuji Muru can create evil ghosts at will, and can also destroy them at will, and when they are close enough, the Oni King can even read their inner thoughts and memories.
In other words, the Ghost King has the power to kill the ghosts of his subordinates.
And the important prop for Ghost Dance Tsuji to turn humans into ghosts is his own blood.
It only takes a drop of the Oni King's blood to completely change the life form of a human, from the original mammal to a man-eating demon with powerful immortality.
As mentioned before, the strength of ordinary ghosts is linked to the number of humans they eat, and the more people who eat them, the stronger they become.
However, at the level of the Twelve Ghost Moons, cannibalism actually doesn't have much effect, as long as you don't eat too many people at once, you basically can't improve your strength.
Therefore, the ghosts of the Twelve Ghost Moon level generally rarely appear in front of the Ghost Killing Team, because they basically do not hunt humans individually, and they are rarely witnessed.
Normally, they either live in seclusion in the mountains and forests and are accidentally found by the ghost killing team, or they hide in a crowded place and plot to hunt on a large scale.
Twelve ghost moon-level ghosts, if they want to improve their strength, they don't rely much on cannibalism.
More often than not, they will pray for the blood of Onimai Tsuji.
The blood of Onimai Tsuji is very precious, just one drop can create a ghost, a few drops can create an alien ghost, and once the blood used increases, then it can create a twelve ghost moon-level ghosts.
In other words, the more blood you get, the stronger the oni will be.
Therefore, among the ghosts ranked in the Twelve Ghost Moons, there is not a single ghost who would not want to receive the blood of Onimai Tsuji.
"The more blood you get, the stronger you will be when you become a ghost."
Ryuxia thought silently in her heart, "But after becoming a ghost, it will inevitably be controlled by Onimai Tsuji...... It's a bit tricky. ”
In all fairness, the oni creature has few weaknesses other than being unable to shine into the sun, it is immortal, it is powerful, and it has the power of blood ghosts...... All are very powerful and convenient forces.
But it's very taboo to be controlled only by Onimai Tsuji.
Although Lu Xia himself does not have any sense of dignity, if the other party is stronger than him, then it is not an unreasonable thing to accept control, but if it can not be controlled, how many people are willing to take the initiative to be licking dogs?
After a while, two bowls of steaming noodles were brought to the table.
"I'm moving!"
Tanjiro picked up the udon noodles in front of him, and under the gaze of Youdouzi's eyes widened, he lowered his head and took a sip of soup, for him from the countryside, everything in the big city seemed too gorgeous and high-end, even if it was just an ordinary bowl of noodles, it made him feel unusually delicious.
However, before he could raise his chopsticks, an incomparably hidden but pungent smell penetrated into his incomparably sharp nose.
"Bang-"
The udon noodles slipped from his hands and fell to the ground, spilling the soup all over the floor, and the white noodles and toppings were messed up on the ground as if they had been discarded.
The sound of the porcelain bowl shattering awakened Ryutsu from her musings and cast her gaze at Tanjiro.
At this moment, the expression on Tanjiro's face became extremely terrifying, his brows were tightly locked, his teeth were gritted, and the scars on his forehead twitched as if he felt angry, and the whole person seemed to have encountered an enemy who killed his father, and was filled with unprecedented hot hatred.
Immediately afterward, he didn't even say hello, didn't even pay attention to the bean who threw a puzzled look at him, and rushed out of the ramen shop directly under the attention of everyone in the store.
You beans are a little overwhelmed, and you stand there dumbfounded, as if your eyes have turned bean-shaped because of a sudden change.
Ryuxia frowned slightly.
"Shopkeeper, we put our things here, come back and get them."
Ryusha stood up and looked at the beans who were at a loss, "If you can understand me, come after me with you." ”
After saying that, he didn't care whether You Douzi understood or not, he picked up the case and left the ramen shop with Tanjiro on his back.
You Douzi tilted her head, as if she didn't quite understand the meaning of what Ryuxia said, but she looked left and right, there was no acquaintance in the store, all strangers were staring at her, so she immediately opened her arms and followed Ryuxia, and left here with a sigh.
