There was light snow falling in the sky, and there were still people shoveling snow on the streets. After walking into the mountains, the sky and the earth became completely white, adding a bit of loneliness to the cold winter.
Nobuhiko, Masaki, and Tomioka Giyu walked in the snow, and the footprints they left were quickly hidden by the snowflakes.
A palm-sized golden bird stands on Nobuhiko's shoulder. It is Nobuhiko's crow. Although it cannot speak human words like other crows, it does not affect the communication between it and Nobuhiko.
Nobuhiko gave it a name, Jinyan.
"Is there still no way to use the ability that day?"
"Tweet~"
After Nobuhiko regained consciousness, he recalled the battle against the Second Wind. The powerful heat delivered by his raven at critical moments, as well as the dazzling golden light, seemed to have a powerful restraint effect on ghosts.
At first, Nobuhiko used chakra to warm the golden flame, but it did not show any special talents, which made Nobuhiko a little disappointed.
In the battle against Tong Mo, Jin Yan showed great ability.
A third claw also grew out of its abdomen. Its appearance reminded Nobuhiko of the mythical beast in myths and legends - the three-legged Golden Crow.
However, apart from having the same three claws, Golden Flame and the three-legged Golden Crow in myths and legends have completely different abilities.
The most likely possibility is that Jin Yan has a thin trace of Golden Crow blood in his body.
Of course, this is quite an exaggeration.
Bloodline Warlocks use their powerful bloodlines to go further in the pursuit of eternity.
If the bloodline of Jinyan can be made stronger and then used, it will be much stronger than Otsutsuki without having the ability of the three-legged Golden Crow in myths and legends.
The power of the Six Paths is nothing in front of the Golden Crow.
Of course, this is just a conjecture and a good wish at the moment.
After Jin Yan used the power to release golden light that day, he could not use it again.
During this period of time, Nobuhiko continued to deliver chakra to Jinyan, but apart from making it accumulate more and more chakra in his body, there were no other changes.
However, Nobuhiko still did not give up. Anyway, after two years of idle upgrades, he now has very sufficient chakra in his body. The chakra required by Jinyan is not much, and it is not a huge consumption for him.
After teasing Jin Yan for a while, Nobuhiko let it move freely, but Jin Yan was unwilling to leave, and finally got into Nobuhiko's feather fabric.
Nobuhiko stopped thinking about Tong Mo and began to think about the current situation.
"According to the time, this time should be when Tomioka Giyuu met the Tanjiro brothers and sisters..."
Because of his arrival, the first of the lower strings, who would be killed in a few years, and the second string of the upper strings, who would be killed only in the decisive battle, have been killed.
I don’t know if the plot will change.
He didn't care about anything else, he mainly wanted to obtain the Breathing Technique of the Sun.
Nowadays, Nobuhiko can also integrate the breathing method and continuously strengthen it on the original basis, but he is still very concerned about the legendary ancestor breathing method.
After all, it was the breathing method created by Enichi Jiguo, the son of the plane.
Nobuhiko doesn't think that his accumulation in just a few years can completely surpass the level of Sun Breathing Technique.
During this time, he also practiced with [Rock Pillar] Wai Ming Yu Xingmei. The chakra he also obtained greatly increased his strength, and Nobuhiko was unable to defeat him.
Comparing the situation in the original work, Nobuhiko's current combat power should be similar to that of Black Death Mou in the first string. If Jin Yan can once again exert his previous abilities, then it is not impossible to deal with Wu Mei in advance.
The current Demon Slayer Corps is many times stronger than the final battle in the original work.
The characters in the world of Demon Slayer are not bad in talent, but the power level of the world is slightly lower.
However, the power level of the Naruto world is not much higher if we don't count outside forces like Otsutsuki.
Nobuhiko brought something like chakra into the world, creating a new chemical reaction.
"If I get an S-level rating this time, I don't know what I can get... If I can control the projected world and plant a sacred tree..."
Nobuhiko suddenly thought of this method in his mind. He could enter the projection world repeatedly, which meant he had more opportunities to cultivate sacred trees.
It's a pity that his current body is far from reaching the sixth level, and he has not rescued his eldest wife Kaguya, otherwise he would be able to start planting trees.
"Eliminate all the evil ghosts and protect the Demon Slayer Squad as much as possible. This time we will definitely gain more potential points!"
Thinking of this, Nobuhiko was suddenly full of energy.
Take one step at a time and you will not be far away from reaching your goal.
"We're here." Let's go
Halfway up the mountain, Tomioka suddenly stopped and looked ahead.
"This mission said that the 'Wisteria House' was wiped out, and we were asked to investigate. However, there was no trace of ghosts along the way, not even a breath left. Could it be the ghost of Shangxian?" Zhen Shi looked confused. He looked at Nobuhiko.
This time the Demon Slayer Squad sent three pillar-level swordsmen to take action because the 'Wisteria House' in the mountains was wiped out.
The so-called "Wisteria House" refers to those who have been helped by the Demon Slayer Corps, or their descendants, who voluntarily provide services to the Demon Slayer Corps for free.
When the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps go out and encounter a house with the word "vine" printed on the door, they can go in and rest. These houses will provide free food and accommodation, or help with medicine.
And because these people know the existence of ghosts, they will plant wisteria flowers in their homes.
Because ghosts are afraid of wisteria flowers, most ghosts will not enter a house that smells like wisteria flowers.
Of course, for some powerful evil spirits, just planting wisteria flowers is not enough.
Although all ghosts are under the control of Ghost King Muzan, ordinary ghosts act according to instinct, while slightly more powerful ghosts obey the orders of Twelve Ghost Moon.
The main mission of the Twelve Ghost Moons is to eliminate the Demon Slayer Squad and at the same time find the Blue Higan Flower. Under normal circumstances, they will not deliberately enter the Wisteria Flower House to eat people.
These high-level ghosts often send people to their doorsteps.
This time the Wisteria House was destroyed, indicating that it was very likely that the ghost of the lower string or even the ghost of the upper string appeared.
And they must have discovered something!
The three of them came to a house halfway up the mountain.
The door was locked and there was no one inside.
The three of them climbed over the wall and entered. The courtyard had been cleaned. Nobuhiko could only smell a faint smell of blood, but the smell of ghosts was undetectable.
Seeing this situation, Nobuhiko activated the Eye of Purity and started to check directly.
"This is......"

"Tanjiro, are you still going down the mountain to sell charcoal in this weather? You'll catch a cold!"
In the small town, the proprietress who was clearing the snow at the entrance of the izakaya asked in surprise when she saw the young man carrying a basket on his back.
"This coldness is nothing. Do you want to buy some charcoal? Is it enough?" The boy named Tanjiro said with a smile.
He has dark red hair and red pupils, a small scar on the left side of his forehead, nichiwa earrings on his ears, and a haori with an Ichimatsu pattern on it.
It is said that families engaged in fire-related work will give birth to such children, who are characterized by red hair and red pupils, which are regarded as a symbol of good luck.
But for ghosts, if they encounter such a family, they will definitely kill them all.
"Hey! Tanjiro! Give me some charcoal! Thank you for your help before."
The owner of another store opened the door curtain and shouted at Tanjiro.
Because of Tanjiro's helpful and enthusiastic personality, people in the town like him very much.
Recently, Tanjiro's father, Tanjuro, died of illness. The 13-year-old boy often went down the mountain to sell charcoal alone in his father's stead. Many people sympathized with him.
"Give me some charcoal too!"
Hearing that someone was buying charcoal, Tanjiro had a happy smile on his face.
Since the death of his father, life at home has become difficult.
Although my father was frail and sickly during his lifetime, he no longer looked like a sick person when he was chopping firewood.
Especially when he is terminally ill, he can easily kill a giant bear with one axe.
Who could have imagined that one day he would leave them?
In order to keep his three brothers and two sisters fed, Tanjiro still insisted on going down the mountain to sell charcoal in such a cold and snowy day.
Soon, Tanjiro traveled throughout the town.
While selling charcoal, he would also come forward to help people who needed help, such as helping people move things or shoveling snow.
Although life is not easy, he still maintains full enthusiasm.
Maybe it's his positive attitude that people like.
It took Tanjiro several hours to get down the mountain, but he sold out the full basket of charcoal in less than an hour.
After putting the money close to his body, Tanjiro bought five pieces of Japanese confectionery and planned to take it back to his younger siblings to eat, because he had already agreed before going out.
As for himself, he'd better save a little and be satisfied with the smell.
Because he hadn't eaten enough at noon, and carrying a large basket of charcoal down the mountain to sell, Tanjiro felt tired and hungry.
It was getting dark, so he had to rush home as soon as possible. After buying snacks, he immediately set off back to the mountains.
However, not long after Tanjiro walked out of the town and reached the foot of the mountain, the sky had already turned completely dark.
"Hey! Tanjiro, do you want to go back to the mountains so late? It's too dangerous!" When Tanjiro passed by a house at the foot of the mountain, a middle-aged man stuck his head out and called him.
"I have a good nose, it doesn't matter." Tanjiro replied.
The middle-aged man had a firm attitude and shouted: "There will be ghosts in the mountains at night! Come back! Stay at my house!"
Seeing this, Tanjiro agreed.
Seeing Tanjiro's tired appearance, the middle-aged man prepared a meal for him.
After Tanjiro had a hearty meal, he asked about ghosts.
...
Nobuhiko, Masaki, and Tomioka Yoshiyuki came to a residential house to stay overnight.
Dawn.
Masaki was fast asleep on the bed, while Nobuhiko was sitting cross-legged on the mat refining chakra.
Since there was only one empty room in this house, brother and sister Nobuhiko and Masaki were given the room to sleep in.
As for Tomioka Giyu, he slept in the same room as the family's son.
Since Nobuhiko became a half-ghost, his requirements for sleep have been reduced a lot, and he only needs to rest for two or three hours a day.
Of course, there is an exception to the situation where someone is seriously injured and falls into a coma and recovers through sleep.
So he let Masaki rest while he refined chakra to stay in top condition at all times.
After investigating during the day, Nobuhiko found the ghost's aura, but when he found the place, he found no trace of the ghost.
Suddenly, Nobuhiko felt his whole body stand up, and a creepy feeling appeared in his heart.
"What's happening here?!"
Nobuhiko opened his eyes suddenly, and then opened the Eye of Purity, but found nothing, and there was nothing within the range of perception.
"Mako, wake up!" Nobuhiko stood up and gently pushed Mako's shoulder.
"Hmm~ What's wrong, brother?"
Zhenji opened his sleepy eyes and asked doubtfully.
"I feel a little weird, let's go out and have a look." Nobuhiko said.
After hearing this, Zhenji's sleepiness disappeared instantly, he sat up directly and started to get dressed.
In less than a minute, Masaki was fully dressed.
Afterwards, Nobuhiko came to the next room and opened the door gently. Tomioka Giyu, who was sleeping next to the bed, opened his eyes.
Seeing Nobuhiko nodding slightly outside the crack of the door, Tomioka's eyes changed slightly, he slowly sat up from the bed, and then went out to join them.
Before Nobuhiko left, he left some money on the table and quickly went out.
"Nobuhiko, what did you find?"
Although Tomioka Giyuu was usually taciturn, his expression became serious when he saw Nobuhiko's serious expression.
"I didn't find anything, but my intuition told me there was something wrong." Nobuhiko replied.
At this time, Jin Yan suddenly flew down from above, landed on Nobuhiko's shoulder, and finally chirped.
"You mean a very powerful ghost has appeared in the west!"
Nobuhiko's expression changed.
Masaki and Tomioka Giyu also came to Nobuhiko's side.
"It's almost dawn, and there are still ghosts!"
Nobuhiko frowned, looked at Masaki and Tomioka Giyu, and said:
"Jin Yan will not admit his mistake. It is most likely the ghost of Shangxian. Let's go and have a look immediately. When fighting, we must focus on me and listen to my command."
"Yes." Tomioka Yoshiyuki nodded solemnly.
"Yes! Brother!" Zhenshen naturally had no objection.
Pillar-level swordsmen are all of the same level, but Nobuhiko has the experience of killing Kamejo II, and coupled with the changes in the Demon Slayer Corps during this period, the swordsmen are naturally willing to trust him.
"Lead the way!" Nobuhiko said to Jin Yan on his shoulder.
Jin Yan quickly flew towards the west.
Nobuhiko followed immediately, followed closely by Masaki and Tomioka Giyu.
"This is..." Nobuhiko suddenly stopped. A very powerful ghost appeared within the sight of his pure eyes. Through the breath he sensed, Nobuhiko's chest felt tight.
"What's wrong, brother?!" Zhenji suddenly asked.
Tomioka Giyuu also stopped.
Nobuhiko's face darkened slightly and he said slowly: "Kibutsuji Muzan!"
"What?!"
"Kibutsuji Muzan!?"
Both Masaki and Tomioka Giyuu were shocked.
Nobuhiko's thoughts changed rapidly.
Muzan Kibutsuji appears here and is killing people.
At this distance, it is too late to rush over.
"Come with me and have a look!" Nobuhiko said solemnly, looking at the white fish belly exposed on the horizon.
It is estimated that the sun will break out in about ten minutes, and even if he loses to Wuhan, he can ensure that the three of them escape unscathed.
It’s a good time to explore the bottom.
Wu Mei has suffered from psychological shadow since he was injured by Ji Guoyuanyi with the breath of the sun.
In the original work, when he first met Tanjiro in Asakusa, Tokyo, it was easy to kill Tanjiro with his strength, but when he saw the Nichiwa earrings on Tanjiro's ears, everyone was probably scared to death. When forced, the first reaction is to run away.
This time, it just happened to let Wu Mei know that without the Breath of the Sun, it was not impossible to deal with him.
It would be best if we could kill him directly.
