Amidst the mist-shrouded mountains, a dilapidated shrine stands in the forest. It is in tatters and covered with fallen leaves and dead branches.
This is the hometown of Asakura Ye and Anna, and it is also the secluded place of the Asakura clan - Mount Osore.
"Boom~~"
Suddenly, in the open space in front of the shrine, the originally peaceful space became strangely distorted.
The next moment, figures walked out of it.
They look different, but most of them have red eyes. Although they have human appearances, they have sharp fangs in their mouths.
"Is this really the human world?"
"Ha ha ha ha."
"Finally back, finally escaped from that damn hell!"
These men and women wearing white prison uniforms are not human beings, nor are they pure ghosts. They are prisoners who committed serious crimes during their lifetime and fell into hell after death, turning into evil spirits.
In hell, they endure daily suffering and are tortured in various ways by the jailers of the underworld.
It's cruel, but this is the only way to purify their sins.
Only when the filth on the body is washed away will the door to the next life be opened to them, and there will be the opportunity for reincarnation.
"Ah, I'm starving to death."
"Humans, human flesh and blood," an evil ghost couldn't help but wipe the saliva from his mouth: "I can't help but want to taste humans again."
The prisoners present were not just the demons of hell.
In fact, when they were still alive, they were also a group of monsters that fed on human flesh and blood.
"Where is Master Wuhan? Where is Master Wuhan?"
"We must find Lord Wuhan. Thanks to Lord Wuhan, we can return to the world!"
The evil spirits thought of the reason why they could escape from hell.
Tsuji Mukai, a descendant of a noble family from the Heian period, was born frail and sickly. His heart stopped beating due to weakness in his mother's womb, and he was even born as a stillborn baby.
Although the birth was successful, Wu Mei was terminally ill and was bedridden all day long, and was said to not survive until the age of 20.
A kind-hearted doctor developed a medicine for him to extend his life, but the side effects of the medicine made Wuhan think that his condition was worsening, so he killed the doctor angrily.
However, the doctor succeeded. The medicine he developed not only restored Wuhan's health, but also transformed him into an immortal existence.
The only flaw is that you can't walk in the sun for the rest of your life.
Because the sun will turn Wu Mei into ashes.
Only by obtaining the blue Higanbana flower and perfecting the doctor's prescription can Wuhan be able to perfect himself and become a true 'perfect creature'.
For this reason, Wu Mei led a large number of cannibals created from his blood and began a search that lasted hundreds of years.
If this is the demon-slayer world that Gu Yun knows, Demon Dance Tsuji Mumei may be able to bring disaster to the Taisho Era in the original work.
However, this world has spirit slayers, as well as real ghosts, gods and demons.
Kibutsuji Mumei is very powerful, especially his pure physical destructive ability, which is far superior to the magic system.
No matter how powerful a spiritual master is, he is still a mortal body.
Although there are indeed some incredibly strong individuals among them, such as the Higa Michio clan who cannot escape from the world, the Asakura Leaf King who was reincarnated once five hundred years ago, and Uesugi Kenshin who has just descended into heaven.
Tsuji Mumei considers himself a perfect creature. He is extremely arrogant, but he is more afraid of death and cherishes life.
Therefore, Ghost Dance Tsuji Mumei never actively provokes these powerful monsters.
He took the cannibals with him, lurking in the night, devouring human flesh and blood, and while constantly strengthening himself, he sought the whereabouts of the blue Higanbana.
Until they met a group of ghost-slayer swordsmen called the Demon Slayer Corps, led by a hot man.
The Ubuyashiki clan is a samurai family that has continued from thousands of years ago to the present day.
Higa Kotoko found them and extended an invitation, making Uyashiki a member of the New Ten Families.
The Demon Slayer Corps, created by the Uyashiki clan, aims to eliminate all evil spirits in the world and kill the source of the Uyashiki clan's curse - Onibatsuji Muzan.
However, the Demon Slayer Organization was disbanded two hundred years ago.
The reason for disbandment was not to be destroyed by evil spirits.
On the contrary, the Demon Slayer Squad in this world is very capable, and even before the Taisho era, Muzan has been sent to hell.
Because there were no more man-eating demons in the world, the Ubuyashiki family disbanded the Demon Slayer Corps, and only retained the ancient swordsmanship school including breathing techniques, which continues to this day.
Among them, there is a group of ghost-slayer swordsmen who changed their careers as spirit-slayer swordsmen and cooperated with ten sects to protect the peace of the world.
Of course, there are many problems here.
The breathing method can greatly strengthen flesh and blood, increase strength and skills.
But it cannot destroy the demon.
First of all, there is a chasm that cannot be seen. In addition, some demons have the characteristics of ineffective physical attacks, so when ghost hunters deal with supernatural events, it is not as easy as conquering evil spirits.
Over time, the Uyashiki clan gradually withdrew from the supernatural world, and it was not until recently that they came out again.
As for the reason for leaving the mountain...
Tsuji Muzan escaped from hell, and the man-eating demons of the past returned.
Twelve days guard each dimension, rotating every hundred years. Except for the Changshengtian, he always lives above the seventh level to fight against the Hirachi God.
Every eight hundred years, the immortal genius will come to the lower world and rest for a hundred years by guarding the dimension.
Not long ago, during the twelve-day rotation, Sister Uesugi, who originally guarded the underworld, became the human guardian, and Huotian replaced her and became the new guardian of the underworld.
Huotian is different from Sister Uesugi. Not only did she not lead the ghost king and the ghosts and gods to restrain the sinners in hell, but she used trading methods to release a group of the most sinful beings.
These escaped criminals possessed extremely terrifying power during their lifetime.
After death, they are certainly bound by the rules of hell.
But this restriction is both a punishment and an opportunity.
Just like Hei Qingming, the child of Hagoromo Fox, he not only escaped all kinds of torture in hell, but also achieved great improvement in these thousands of years.
In the same way, the same goes for Oniwu Tsuji Muzan.
After the tragic death of Onibatsuji, his soul fell into the deepest part of hell, a prison specially designed to hold prisoners who committed heinous crimes - the place of infinity.
It was also there that he met a being who was just as evil as him, or even more evil.
They helped Onimbutsuji Muzan, not only allowing him to reshape his body with the sinful blood mud of hell, but also giving him all the knowledge about the magic.
For these prisoners, Wujian has become their dojo.
Villains from all eras and all kinds of evil gather here, just like a dragon's field of enlightenment.
It's funny to say that he was trapped in a bottleneck during his lifetime and could not move, but after his death he broke through one after another and reached a state that he had never dared to imagine.
A blessing in disguise, is it intentional or accidental?
