Because he was 'injured' by Ji Xing, Kamado Tanjiro's special swordsman training was stopped for a day today.
His mind was in a mess. He recalled the God of Fire Kagura dance performed by his father, wondered how powerful the breath of the sun would be, and whether the death of his mother and the others... was related to this.
After a while, he looked at the sleeping Nezuko again, wondering whether Mr. Unishi had found a doctor after getting Nezuko's blood, what the doctor said, and whether Nezuko had a chance to turn back into a human.
He stayed in bed like this for a whole day, and the night fell so deep that he couldn't fall asleep.
It feels like my body has almost recovered.
Get up and exercise?
For Nezuko, I will work harder!
Just when he put on his clothes, put on his knife, and was about to go out, he suddenly smelled a familiar smell in his nose. He was surprised and surprised: "Mr. Shangxi came back so soon? There are also two strange smells... Why does it seem like yes……"
He hurried out, saw Ji Xing's figure in the distance, and waved, "Mr. Shangxi!"
'Sure enough, he is a ghost, but being with Mr. Kamishi proves that like Nezuko, he is a non-eating ghost? 'At the same time, he made a quick judgment in his mind, walked over to him and asked, "Mr. Shangxi, this is..."
"This Senior Zhushi is the doctor I told you to find. She was very interested after testing your sister's blood and wanted to come and see for herself."
Is that so? Tanjiro said in surprise: "Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Tamashi, please come with me."
Sure enough, this kid who can take care of my ghost-turned-sister doesn’t care about our ghost identity. Zhu Shi smiled slightly: "Yeah."
"And this..." Tanjiro looked at Yushiro again strangely. Why did this ghost... look like he was sulking?
"Yu Shilang." Yu Shilang said coldly.
Tanjiro didn't pay attention to his attitude until he led them into the house and heard Yushiro say to Nezuko: "Is this the ugly girl?"
"What? Ugly girl? Look good at me! Nezuko is a famous beauty in the town!"
"snort--"
Tamashi ignored the fight between the two and sat beside Nezuko's bed, gently touched Nezuko's head and said, "What a lovely girl... Damn Muzan."
After a brief inspection, she said: "Gentlemen, please leave this room first. I want to do some inspections."
There is no other lady besides her.
Tanjiro hesitated for a moment, then saw Ji Xing nodding and followed him out.
No longer in the mood to argue with Yushiro, he waited outside for five minutes uneasily before Tamashi finally walked out of the room.
"Dr. Tamashi, Nezuko..."
"I haven't seen her like this before, but her condition should be fine." Tamayo said to Tanjiro: "Has she spoken after she turned into a ghost?"
Tanjiro was startled: "No."
"As expected." Zhu Shi nodded and said: "Even the weakest ghost will at least retain the ability to speak as a human. That little girl, Nezuko, should be in a special state that caused her to temporarily lose language skills."
"For the time being... that is to say..." Tanjiro asked urgently: "Nezuko has been sleeping like this for almost eight months. When will she wake up?"
"After her body stabilizes."
Zhu Shidao: "As a ghost, her condition is not right, but as a human, her condition is getting better little by little through deep sleep."
Wearing a mask, Nedaki Sakonji appeared next to them at some point and nodded to Tamayo. Tamayo nodded back and continued:
"Humans, after receiving Wu Mei's blood, will undergo a special change in the process of turning into ghosts. Our bodies are no longer so important to us, and what is important becomes consciousness.
In terms of human structure, if the head is severed, even before brain death, it is absolutely impossible to make a sound through the mouth, but ghosts defy common sense and do not affect language at all.
That's what their consciousness is saying. Only by beheading the ghost with the Nichirin Sword can the ghost be killed. It's the same reason. Only the Nichirin Sword can kill the most important consciousness of the ghost. "
Body... consciousness... Tanjiro half understood what he heard, and said: "Then Nezuko..."
"After consciousness becomes more important, the body is just a carrier that can be infinitely regenerated for ghosts. However, it may be that she has not eaten humans since she turned into a ghost. Little girl Nezuko has not completely given up her body, and through her deep sleep, her body is undergoing a transformation. Bit by bit it has stabilized, retaining some of its human functions.
Her body could speak, and her consciousness could also speak. The conflict between the two made her unable to speak for a while. But if one day she can speak again, something magical that is not a ghost may happen to her again. "
No longer afraid of the sun, Ji Xing thought to himself.
Zhu Shi also looked at him: "Speaking of it, it's a bit like what Mr. Lei Zhu said before, half human and half ghost. She is trying hard not to completely become a ghost."
She smiled tenderly: "I think it was Tanjiro who awakened her humanity in time."
Tanjiro slowly opened his mouth.
'Thank you for your hard work, Nezuko...' His eyes were a little red, and he said: "So Dr. Zhushi, is there any way for you... to make Nezuko become a human again?"
"I'm not sure." Zhu Shi shook his head and said, "But I will try my best."
"...Thank you! Thank you!"
Zhu Shi smiled lightly and said to Ji Xing: "Mr. Lei Zhu, I need more samples, the blood of powerful ghosts and the twelve ghost moons to study. It's a pity that I didn't think of this before and missed the opportunity to collect the blood of Yiwo constellation." Chance."
"give it to me."
Zhu Shi didn't know that Ji Xing, who understood the connection between spiritual energy and physical energy, got something more from her just 'diagnosis' of Nezuko.
Tanjiro had never heard of the Twelve Ghosts, but thinking about it, he knew they would be very powerful ghosts.
"Mr. Shangxi, thank you very much!" He bowed deeply to Ji Xing and said in his heart.
I have to work harder too!
…
After confirming that Nezuko's condition was fine, Tanjiro was so excited that he didn't fall asleep that night.
Early the next morning, he was still able to continue his practice with great energy.
Since then, in addition to Teacher Nintaki and his sleeping sister, there have also been three people in his life, namely Tamashii, Yushiro, and Mr. Kamishi.
Dr. Zhuyo helps him take care of Nezuko every day. Some scrubbing tasks that are not suitable for him are taken over by Zhuyo. At the same time, he does various examinations for Nezuko, which he is very grateful for.
Yushiro was quite critical of Tamashi for 'serving' Nezuko, and he also couldn't stand him. However, after getting along with him for a while, Tanjiro discovered that this ghost was just a sharp-tongued man with a sharp mouth and a soft heart. In fact, he was very kind-hearted. He could only talk about Nezuko. Only when you are ugly do you deserve to be flat.
Mr. Uamishi is busier. He spends most of his time hunting ghosts and only comes over every five days. It seems that because they could not find Twelve Ghost Moons in a short period of time, they only brought back two tubes of ghost blood that were said to be very powerful and close to the level of Twelve Ghost Moons.
And when he came back, Tanjiro added a shameful mission.
In front of a campfire, dancing the fire-god Kagura dance that his father danced...while being stared at by four pairs of eyes!
The first two times, it was so embarrassing that he wanted to crawl into the cracks in the ground, but he slowly got better.
Moreover, after watching the dance, Mr. Kamishi would also instruct him on sword skills and breathing techniques for a while, and often a few simple words would help him gain a lot.
The fulfilling days passed by in a month.
Tanjiro, who had finished his mountain climbing training, carried some firewood down the mountain: "Today is another day to dance the God of Fire Kagura dance in front of the campfire. Mr. Unishi should have returned."
But when he returned to Master Lintaki's residence, he didn't see that familiar figure.
"Huh? Do you have any temporary tasks?"
He looked at the dark sky and seemed to see dark clouds rolling in. For some reason, he suddenly felt an uneasy premonition in his heart.
"Mr. Kamishi..."
…
dozens of kilometers away.
Standing on the hillside of a hill, Ji Xing was also looking at the dark clouds in the sky.
Dongdong——dongdong——
His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, exceeding 200 beats per minute in an instant, and his body temperature also rose to over 39 degrees and would no longer drop!
A blue star mark appeared under his right eye, adding a sense of mystery to Ji Xing's appearance. The markings were on!
Powerful power emerges!
"Did you spot me?"
A voice sounded behind him.
Ji Xing turned around and looked.
In the night, a swordsman with a high black ponytail and six eyes on his face was approaching him. There were dark red flame patterns on his left forehead, right chin and neck!
The huge ghost energy seemed to make the sky lower, which was several times more powerful than the Yiwo Seat!
In the two eyes in the middle, there are "Shang Xian" and "壱" written respectively!
It is one of the top strings, Black Dead Mou.
The most powerful ghost under the command of Ghost King Wu Pei!
Including the two Tongmo of Shangxian and the three Yiwozuo of Shangxian, none of them can be compared with him!
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Two more days of hard work, polishing the next battle.
In addition, let me explain a loophole, that is, the pillar of Thunder Breath should be 'Mingzhu', not 'Thunder Pillar', because in Japanese, thunder pillar is not a good word.
I know this mistake, and many book friends have also reminded me of it, but I don't plan to change it. This is Chinese after all. If I write it as 'Ming Zhu', I'm afraid more people will wonder, 'Why is your Breath of Thunder not a Thunder Pillar?' More people feel uncomfortable reading and cannot explain it repeatedly, so for the party’s understanding, let’s just ignore Lei Zhu’s problem in the Japanese environment.
