"Sure enough, as Kotaro said, in Ashina, everything is unusually large, incredibly huge......"

On the observation deck on the top floor of the castle tower, the Butterfly Sisters leaned on the railing and looked at the white snake spitting letters below, and expressed heartfelt emotion.

The chickens are big, the cows are also big, not to mention the people and buildings, and this white snake only shows a small part of its body, which is far beyond their imagination, and as for the complete body, it is probably not a problem to wrap a small mountain.

At this time, in addition to them, there are also Rock Pillar Sorrow of the Demon Slayer Team, Ottotsu Essence Tengen, former Yanzhu Purgatory Maki Juro, former Naruku Kuwajima Jigoro and others.

They all watched (and listened) to what was happening below, but no one else could express it except for the "gorgeous" non-stop sound column.

Even though the crowd was separated from the location of the old castle tower by nearly 200 meters of vertical, the first time they saw this xenomorph white snake, which was wider than the street, buried in their genes, the fear of snakes and giant creatures made them crawl with goosebumps.

They couldn't imagine what the expressions of the few people facing the white snake below would be. What kind of feeling does Genichiro feel when he stands on the head of the white snake?

"If Murata had come along, he would have been too scared to walk."

Butterfly Shinobu said something witty to ease the soaring adrenaline, but even Yaoya Shiki, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, couldn't help but smile, and Uchiyo Tengen laughed like no one around.

Only the purgatory Maki Jurou beside him, who still smelled of alcohol, plucked his ears irritably, looking like "why am I here?"

But there's no way he doesn't come here, after all......

His own home has been overrun by a giant who is two and a half meters tall.

It all started two months ago.

On the first day of re-entering the world, Masataka Oniwa, who was so idle that his hands were itchy, and his younger brother went out to hang out, and then, at the instigation of the latter, they participated in a big stomach king competition in a dim sum shop in Asakusa Ward-

Compare who can eat 250 cherry blossoms first!

The winner's prize is a pot of aged wine plus a permanent 30% discount on the store's dim sum.

Hearing that there was wine, the old man immediately became interested, so he signed up with full spirit, but unexpectedly only won the runner-up.

The champion is the daughter of the boss's friend, a little girl with her hair the color of cherry blossoms, who looks very cute and can eat like a hamster.

But it was Purgatory Kyojuro, who won the third place, that really aroused the old man's idea.

Obviously, the other contestants were questioning the girl for cheating, or the whole thing was set up by the store or something, but only this young man with strong blood was not annoyed at all when he lost to a little girl, but praised the other party's appetite very kindly and friendly, and transformed the preconceived notion that the little girl was ashamed of being able to eat.

In the end, it was this young man and Ghost Courtyard Masataka who helped the store resolve the crisis (referring to the two leading guys who stunned the two leaders with their voices).

It is conceivable that these two loud voices + hot-blooded elements can be said to be familiar at first sight, and they almost immediately became New Year's friends.

So the next day, Purgatory Xingjurou warmly invited Ghost Court Masataka to come to the door, and after the two talked, they learned each other's identities, and the relationship was a little closer.

So that counts...... Ghost Court Masataka knows the location of the purgatory family one step ahead of Ichiro, who asks around.

But what happened then is understandable.

As soon as Purgatory, who had not returned from a night of hangover and drinking, entered the courtyard when he was blocked by a scythe that suddenly appeared out of thin air.

"Let's have a good fight with the old man!" Ghost Court Yaxiao said completely in the tone of the Nest Seat.

Since then, this old man has come to the door every day, and his predecessor Yanzhu, who finally retired, has not had a day of peace.

Because he couldn't escape the "enlightenment" of Ghost Court Masataka every day, he didn't dare to drink at all, for fear that he would be beaten like the first day, and his nose and face would be swollen, so that Senjuro (Kyojuro's younger brother) thought that he was also terminally ill like his mother in the past, and cried all night long.

Until last night, when the eldest son came back with a letter, saying that the delivery house was summoned and could make him leave the house justifiably, Purgatory Maki Juro immediately agreed without saying a word.

And Ghost Court Yaxiao stayed at his house, teaching his younger son to keep fit, and teaching his eldest son to play with a ten-character gun, and the shouts could be heard clearly from 500 meters away.

"Just let the neighbors around you suffer the torture!"

At this moment, the wine that Purgatory Maki Shourou drank was the first sip he had drunk in two months.

But for some reason, I bought the same sake and brought it here, but the taste is much worse than before, and it is very unpleasant to drink.

When he heard his senior sigh and put down the wine jug, the mournful Mingyu Xingming, who was in tears on the side, couldn't help but fold his palms and recited: "Good! ”

On the other side, the wife watched as the white snake sank into the mountain stream.

"This white snake should be the land god that Mr. Reeda said."

Tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes, because of the relationship between her family and her family, what she saw today moved her very much.

"I didn't expect to meet a real god one day."

"Sure enough, this place is indeed a place beloved by the gods, as Mr. Ashina said......"

"It's a pity that my father and uncle didn't have the opportunity to see each other, which is really a pity."

She is the niece of the god of Ise Jingu, and her uncle is second only to the emperor in the Japanese "altar", but he has never seen a real god, and only a few ambiguous "artifacts" to talk about for solace.

But Sanyashiki Tenne, who was born with spiritual vision, knows that those things don't have as much "divinity" as the Zhulian rope on the string Ichiro's knife.

"Speaking of which...... Does this really have to be Japan? Until now, we don't know exactly where we are. ”

Butterfly Shinobu pointed to the spectacular temple of Senfeng Mountain opposite and the castle tower at its foot and said, "Is it really possible that there is more than one such huge building, standing so brightly on the top of the mountain, but no one has noticed it for hundreds of years?" ”

"Well, that's right, in Japan...... Judging by the climate, it is likely to be southwest of Japan, most likely on the island of Shikoku. ”

Worthy of being the wisest woman of the Demon Slayer Squad, Tenne Anna has determined the approximate location of Ashina's roots based on the weather and temperature alone.

"However, you may not see it, it's in the direction of ...... over there."

She raised her right hand and pointed far beyond the layers of mountains, where dense clouds and mist engulfed the mountains in the distance.

The others looked in the direction of her finger, but the harvest was no different from that of the blind man of Sorrow Mingyu Xingming.

"The fog there is not a natural formation, but some means are used to gather all the clouds that should exist in this vicinity."

"If you don't have an extremely sensitive sense, I'm afraid that as soon as you enter the outer edge of Ashina, you will immediately lose your direction and be trapped in the mountains with no way out. Presumably, this is the barrier set up by the 'Son of God'. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would have been hard to imagine that someone could have done this, and I'm afraid that the real gods would be nothing more than that......"

But in fact, neither of the two gods had anything to do with it.

The terrifying white mist around Ashina was condensed by Genichiro manipulating the Misty Hidden Nobles and several Gennonomiya nobles to play the flutes to temporarily hide Ashina's existence.

Those nobles have a few ghosts around them that are comparable to the lower strings, and their recovery ability is very strong, which is enough for them to continuously inhale ** qi and replenish the consumption of the cloud mist.

Then again.

Speaking of the matter of the god son, the delivery house Shiki Tianyin looked at her husband a little lonely.

"It's a pity that this time I came to Reed, but I didn't have a chance to stop it. A person with great powers like that must know a way to alleviate the lord's condition. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone showed an expression of approval, after all, the "god son" created by Genichiro is really so omnipotent.

It would be a great thing if the lord's ill could be solved.

However, sensing the regret in his wife's tone, Yaoya just smiled lightly.

Judging from his current appearance, although the complications have been eliminated by the previous God Devourer, his body is still healthy, and he is no longer the original weak and wind-loving appearance.

But in the past few months, the scar on his face has extended down a little more, and it has covered the eyelid of the other eye, and he is about to lose his vision completely, making people unable to do it without worrying about him.

"It's rare to have two seniors here today, and I also want to say something that I have never said before, and they have been in my heart for years."

Hearing him say this, everyone turned their attention to the man with the lowest force value in the audience, wondering what was going on in his mind.

And Yaoya Sanyashiki stood on the commanding heights of this small mountain, and in his already broad mind, he seemed to be a little more chic and less worried.

"To be honest, I used to feel sorry for myself because of this innate curse, and lamented the injustice of the world......"

"I can't figure out why this happened to me, and why did my parents give birth to me to endure this torture? My grandfather and grandmother, why is my father left? Obviously, since a thousand years ago, this fate of life is better than death has been doomed! ”

"Then why not simply cut off this cursed bloodline? Isn't there one of the heirs who have thought like this? ”

"Lord!"

Several people around him made comforting voices, and even Purgatory Maki Shoulang couldn't help but look sideways, he didn't expect that this young lord, who belonged to the "blind optimism" type in his heart, would actually have such thoughts.

But it's been a strange year.

A person has to face a predetermined tragic fate since he was born -

Riddled with illness, his father died early, his description was ugly, and he died young, although he had no worries about food and clothing, he had no life of his own.

In addition, it is necessary to pass on the same fate to future generations with an extremely strong sense of guilt.

Under the double torture of physiology + psychology, it is better to say that life is better than death.

All of you here are sensitive to "pain", and you can understand why Sanyashiki thinks this way.

In the face of everyone's concerned eyes, Yaoya only waved his hand slightly.

"It's just a few old thoughts. Hear me out first. ”

He paused.

"But it was only later, when I saw so many children sacrifice their lives to kill evil spirits, and looked through the ghost hunting records that filled a house, that I finally understood."

"It is precisely because of this curse that we have been driven by the children and grandchildren of the Sanyashiki family to do the most important thing - that is, to gather together people who are tormented by demons but are unwilling to do so, to support them, to nurture them, and to protect more people from suffering the same. When I heard that someone had been rescued by the Demon Slayer Team, I felt a greater sense of happiness than when my own child was born safely. ”

He reached out and gently touched the scars on his face, like a horseman touching his own horse, without the slightest hint of ill feeling.

"But without it, the ancestors of Sanyashiki would have established a demon killing team to solve the curse, and swordsmen like you would not have been able to get together as they are today. And creatures like ghosts will take human life endlessly—because no one will be so determined to stop them. ”

"So, no matter how shameful the origin of this scar may be, we have embarked on an incomparably glorious and responsible task, and it must be continued by a successor! That's why I never expected to solve this curse in any other way, but to kill Onimai Tsuji! ”

"Only when each generation of the Ghost Slayer has such a determination will they continue to approach the darkest areas from generation to generation."

Yaoya turned around, and the smooth skin of the lower half of his face was a little red, reflecting his excited heart.

"Now, the Ghost Slayer has reliable allies, and even some of the ghosts who have broken free from the shackles of the Ghost King are on our side. Their purpose is the same as ours, nothing more than to kill Onimai Tsuji. ”

"The union of man and ghost is unprecedented...... But it also gave me hope that the elimination of that tyrant would be realized in just a few years! It will definitely come to fruition. ”

The tone in which he said this was so undoubted that the people present couldn't help but be a little fascinated, eager to know what a world without ghosts was like.

"And today, the reason why we are here for this tripartite meeting...... It's about making this alliance unbreakable and allowing us to build the most basic trust in each other. ”

"I know that you are all people who have been working the front line of killing ghosts, and if you can't eliminate your doubts about ghosts, you won't be able to cooperate with each other sincerely. In that case, it would be a waste of time. ”

Everyone looked at each other, but there was a basic approval in their eyes.

Even the butterfly ninja who had a "cooperation" with Zhu Shi in a dream is the same.

Among the ghosts transformed by the Pearl World, many of them are the Twelve Ghost Moons!

How many people have they killed, how many sins have they done, and now they have become allies? Who knows if they will turn against each other at any time?

"However, trust is an adventure in itself, and we must also take risks in order to carry out some of the plans that I have developed with Mr. Ashina."

"And the tragic chain caused by Ghost Dance Tsuji must be completely broken in our generation!"
