"What is this?"

Xia Shang picked up the jade stone in it quite curiously, well, the weight is not light, it should not be an ordinary stone.

"This is jadeite, a special ore used to make the Nichiren knife, which can increase the toughness of the blade.

However, in order to create a Nichiren knife that can kill demons, it is necessary to add orangutan scarlet iron and orangutan crimson ore that can absorb sunlight, and such complex processes can only be completed by the knife smelters of the Knife Smith Village. ”

Murata explained.

"It's a great idea to store the power of sunlight inside a knife, but what makes me wonder is, why don't you use this special ore to make bullets? I guess I can kill ghosts too. ”

Xia Shang took out the Nihon Knife, slashed it a few times, and listened to the sound of the blade cutting through the air, and judged that the sharpness and hardness of this thing were far less than the sharp blades he had changed, and if it weren't for the bonuses of those ores, this would be a good steel knife at best.

Murata shook his head, "Because the ore reserves are limited, and only the user can bring out the true power of the blade. ”

"I see."

I saw that the Rilun knife in Xia Shang's hand spread out blue patterns from the hilt, and these patterns were like vines growing wantonly, dyeing the blade blue in a very short period of time.

This is a characteristic of the Japanese wheel knife, and it will take on a different color depending on the user's attributes.

Seeing the Nichiren knife in Xia Shang's hand turn blue, Murata was not surprised.

"Wait... Wait... Wait! How did your Hinawa knife get darker? Murata looked at the Nihon Knife in Xia Shang's hand and couldn't help but exclaim.

After Xia Shang heard this, he looked down, and sure enough, he saw that the Rilun Knife in his hand was constantly darkening.

It didn't stop until it turned dark blue.

At this time, the color of the Nichiwa knife was already close to black.

Is it because of the Kagura Dance, the god of fire?

The night before, Natsusho asked for the fire god Kagura dance from Tanjiro, although this is the ancestral dance of the Kamato family, but Tanjiro did not refuse Natsushang's request, and in return, Natsusho promised to help him take revenge, and told him that the fire god Kagura dance is the breath of the sun, but Tanjiro didn't seem to believe what he said.

When he received Kagura, the god of fire, he tried to comprehend the breath of the sun.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out.

But it wasn't for nothing, at least with the help of the breath of water, he had a glimpse of a secret hidden in the dance, and it wouldn't be long before he could completely crack it.

It's really strange, Lord Yiyong's knife doesn't seem to be so dark.

This confusion only existed in Murata's mind for a moment.

After all, the color of the blade is determined by the user's attributes, and there is no unified standard.

"Let's go." Xia Shang put on the uniform of the ghost killing team, and then inserted the Japanese wheel knife into the belt, at first glance, there was no sense of disobedience.

After saying goodbye to Mr. Scale, Tanjiro, and your beans in the house.

Xia Shang was led by the crow and walked towards the ridge in the distance.

"Gah! With you here, Uncle Ben is relieved. The black jay flapped its wings and hovered over Murata's head.

"Wait for me."

The surplus under the shade of the tree hurriedly took out the huge hat prepared in advance and covered it on his head.

After putting on a hat made of bamboo, Lingyuzi was like a cyan mushroom, following Xia Shang closely.

Except for some notice, but there are no other drawbacks.

Looking at Xia Shang's figure, walking farther and farther, Tanjiro waved his hand in place and shouted:

"Brother Xia Shang, don't forget the dance I taught you."

Xia Shang did not turn around, but raised his right hand to indicate that he had heard.

"Remember, don't tell anyone about it, at least not until you're not able to protect yourself."

Xia Shang's voice was replayed over and over again in Tanjiro's mind.

Could it be that what my father taught me was really the breath of the sun?

…………

"Ga, can you hurry up, Uncle Ben is still in a hurry to see Li, in order to wait for you, the flowers picked by Uncle Ben are wilted."

I saw that Torotaro was indeed holding a few wildflowers of different colors on his paws.

And the beauty in its mouth is the crow of the honey glass of the love pillar Ganlu Temple, and unlike Torotaro, Lei's eyelashes are very long, and the hair on her head is in the shape of three hearts.

"You better don't provoke people, you just made Liya cry not long ago, and it probably has to hide when it sees you."

Murano did not hesitate to lift the fig leaf of Torataro.

"It's all your fault, if you hadn't been grinding and chirping when you acted, you wouldn't have missed my date with Leigh."

Annoyed and angry, Torotaro let go of the wildflower under his claws, and then flew to the top of Murata's head and grabbed it indiscriminately, directly turning Murata's mid-hair shape into a weed-like bird's nest.

"Ahhhh I'm going to catch you! ”

Under the "friendly" interaction between Murata and Torotaro, the sky became darker and darker, and the faint moon emerged from the clouds.

Half an hour later.

The three of them finally saw a small town.

"My lord, our ghost slayer team is not allowed to take swords on the streets and take transportation, so let's put away the Nichiren knife."

Murata skillfully removed the Hinawa knife and wrapped it in a white cloth, "After all, our ghost killing team is not an organization recognized by the government, so there are some restrictions when traveling. ”

"However, as long as we don't carry knives and wander around the streets, we won't attract their attention because the government has acquiesced in our presence."

"I don't think so." Xia Shang looked ahead indifferently.

Not far away.

A young man with short hair was asking passers-by in a panic.

"Do you see a girl so tall with a pale blonde hairpin on her head?" The young man raised his left hand and gestured to the passerby.

"I don't see, young man, why don't you look elsewhere."

The gray-haired old man shook his head slightly, indicating that he did not see the girl that the young man was talking about.

How could it be! How could it not be!

The short-haired young man looked around blankly, and a wave of fear gradually surged into his heart.

No way.

Keiko was obviously still by my side just now, why did she disappear in the blink of an eye?

"Keiko! Keiko! Stop playing, come out. The short-haired youth's voice trembled, and he desperately ran to the place where Keiko had disappeared, shouting loudly around him.

"Don't scare me... Keiko, Keiko! ”

"Mom, what is this boy doing?" A little girl with her hair tied in a bun looked up at her mother and asked puzzled.

"Maybe my relatives are lost, it's really pitiful, our Satomi has to follow me firmly."

"Hmm." The little girl grabbed the woman's clothes in fear and looked behind her from time to time. "Then can we help that big brother?"

"My little Satomi is so kind, but the government has a special person in charge of this."

No response......

How could there be no response, is it... Keiko was captured?

How could such a terrible thing happen to Keiko, and then the short-haired young man searched all over the place, in the alley, under the corner...... But wherever he could hide people, he searched for it, even if he broke his head, he still didn't give up looking for Keiko, "Keiko... Keiko, where are you? ”

The young man's voice gradually attached a slight cry, and his lips were dry and cracked from the long shouting.

"Tanajo!"

Suddenly, Keiko's cry for help was heard in the distance.

Keiko, it was Keiko's voice, and Tangami's originally exhausted body suddenly burst out with a new force, and his eyes were resolute and rushed in the direction where the voice came from.

You must wait for me, Keiko!

"It's so noisy, it looks like I need to enjoy you slowly in a quiet environment." In the shadow of a wall somewhere.

A young girl was covered in a pair of blue ghost hands, and it buried its head in the girl's neck, greedily sniffing the fragrance emanating from the girl's body.

"It's so tempting, I can't wait to enjoy this wonderful body of yours." Its hideous face and scarlet eyes, as well as the green tendons that spread across its forehead, indicate that it is not human, but a demon hunting for food.

"I'm sixteen years old, and if I don't eat it quickly, the quality of the meat will change every moment."

The swamp ghost dragged the girl into a deep black swamp.

Every time this happens, the cells all over its body tremble with excitement.

"Here we are."

Xia Shang, who was standing outside the town, suddenly spoke.

As his voice fell.

Tamura was horrified to see that on the road in front of him, there was a circular black hole moving at high speed.

"Be careful, the ghost is coming towards us." The heavenly crows warn.

"The aura it exudes is so weak, it should have just become a ghost." The surplus under the hat said casually.

Anyway, she is also a ghost who has seen big scenes, how could she put a guy who is not even a string in her eyes.

“…… Click, click! ”

With the sound of grinding teeth, a demon wearing a ninja costume with long dark blue hair slowly ascended from the swamp with a young girl in his arms.

It looked at Xia Shang and Murata with a hideous expression, only to see the green tendons on its forehead bulging, and a single horn sticking out of the center of its eyebrows, "Ghost hunter? I've heard those guys mention it before, and it doesn't seem to be anything special. ”

"If you know each other, get out of front of me, I'm not interested in you disgusting flesh!"

"Lord Xia Shang, leave it to me this time."

It suddenly occurred to him that the weak guy in front of him could just be used to brush his sense of existence.

Anyway, it doesn't pose a threat to yourself, so why not do it.

"You ......"

As he spoke, he took off his hat.

When the swamp ghost saw her face clearly, he saw its scarlet pupils twitch rapidly, and said in an incredulous tone, "Down! How did you end up with the guys from the Demon Slayer? Have you betrayed the Lord? ”

Then, the expression on its face became both crazy and excited, "Great, if that adult knows that you have betrayed it, it will definitely give me your blood!"

And I'm going to be the new downstring, it's just wonderful, I didn't expect to encounter additional surprises this hunt! ”
