"Tomioka Giyu" stopped, and suddenly he appeared in front of "Kamado Tanjiro" again.
"What did you just say?"
"Tomioka Giyu"'s cold eyes were full of oppression. "Kamado Tanjiro" mustered up the courage to look at him, gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Before you came here, you killed a ghost. The smell of blood is...
With a little smell of powder, she should be a young girl..."
"Can you smell ghosts?"
Only Luo Jie present knew why "Tomioka Giyu" was so shocked.
In the original work, "Tomioka Giyu"'s master and the former member of the Demon Slayer Corps, "Hataaki Sakonji", is a person with an extremely sensitive sense of smell.
The hand "Kamado Tanjiro" showed made him immediately think of his master.
"Tomioka Giyu" knows better than anyone what this talent means. To this day, he still can't forget that his master "Rinataki Sakonji" chased him to the point of no return with only his sense of smell.
despair.
Luo Jie had planned to help before, but now seeing "Tomioka Giyu" deep in thought, he knew that "Kamado Tanjiro" should be close to joining the Demon Slayer Corps...
After all, in the battle with the original ghost "Demon Dance Tsuji Muzan", the Demon Slayer side has always been at a disadvantage in recent years.
Especially when it comes to nurturing new people, there is quite a tendency to be inactive.
If a child with the gift of smell can be cultivated well, it is likely to add a "pillar" level of combat power to the Demon Slayer Squad like "Hinatagaki Sakonji".
"May I have your name?"
"Tanjiro... Kamado Tanjiro."
"You go to the foot of Mt. Saagiri to find an old man named Rinaki Sakonji. It was Tomioka Giyuu who asked you to come... Well, I will write a letter of recommendation to him later."
"Tomioka Giyu" has decided to hand over this young man with the gift of smell to his master for training.
Although he is not sure that "Tanjiro Kamado" can pass the demanding exam to join the Demon Slayer Corps, he still has to try some things. Even if he fails, the most he can do is maintain the status quo, whether it is him or the Demon Slayer.
The team won't lose anything.
The young man chose his own path. Even if he died on the way, it would only be his life.
Just as "Tomioka Giyu" finished, a faint voice floated from the side.
"Please add a name to the letter of recommendation... Well, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Nightmare."
"you?"
"Tomioka Giyu" frowned, but did not refuse.
Possessing an unknown breathing method, he is either a gifted person or a descendant of a retired member of the previous generation of the Demon Slayer Corps. No matter which one he is, he is the most urgently needed talent of the Demon Slayer Corps.
"Tomioka Giyu" nodded, and the back of the red and green shawl gradually disappeared into the vast mountains and forests.
…
After some efforts by Luo Jie, the original plot of Demon Slayer was once again forcibly brought back on track.
His broken hand also grew back through "death recasting".
"Kamado Tanjiro" was extremely surprised by this. Fortunately, there is a special kind of human being called "thin-blooded" in this world. Luo Jie was finally able to fool this simple child.
.
The only difference is that "Kamado Nezuko" seems to have completely lost her memory of her family members, including "Kamado Tanjiro", but she is extremely close to him, as docile as a pet that stays by its owner's side.
, following him almost step by step.
In desperation, Luo Jie had no choice but to take on the responsibility of being the original author of "Kamado Tanjiro" and carried "Kamado Nezuko" in a wooden box made of light wood to prevent her from being burned by the sun during the day.
After the attack by stray ghosts, it was certain that the wooden house on the mountain could no longer be lived in, so Luo Jie arranged for Zaomen and his family to live in the mansion he bought in the town.
Anyway, after joining the Demon Slayer Corps, he wouldn't be able to return to this town. This house should be considered as extra compensation for him secretly using the Kamado family.
After three.
After a long journey, Luo Jie and "Kamado Tanjiro" finally arrived at the foot of Mount Saagiri.
After buying some food in the village at the foot of the mountain, Luo Jie asked the villagers about the location of "Rinataki Sakonji" and learned that this person lived in a simple wooden house halfway up the mountain.
Following the field road to the foot of the mountain named after the clouds, "Kamado Tanjiro" was about to go up the mountain, but was blocked by Luo Jie's hand.
"What's wrong, Brother Nightmare?"
Because of his younger sister "Kamado Nezuko", "Kamado Tanjiro" has also changed his name for Luo Jie, and no longer calls him "sir" as he used to.
"There's a trap."
"Kamado Tanjiro" was shocked when he heard this. He closed his eyes and smelled it carefully, and praised: "Brother Nightmare is really powerful. If you didn't remind me, I wouldn't have noticed the smell of the trap."
Luo Jie smiled noncommittally. Of course, he would not know the existence of these traps because he had read the original plot. Otherwise, in terms of perception, he would not be able to match the humanoid police dog "Kamado Tanjiro".
"Are you the two young men mentioned in Tomioka's letter?"
The two subconsciously looked around and saw a man in blue standing not far behind them.
The man's face was wearing a red long-nosed dog mask, and the facial features behind it could not be seen, but judging from the white hair and old voice, he should be an old man.
Just because he didn't recognize "Kamado Tanjiro" didn't mean that Luo Jie didn't know who he was.
This person is none other than the mentor of "Yiyu Tomioka", the inheritor of "Breath of Water", and the original water pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, "Hintagaki Sakonji"!
"I am the Sakonji you are looking for...and you are the young man with the sharp nose?"
Compared to the tall and strong Luo Jie, "Hai Taki Sakonji" is obviously more interested in "Kamado Tanjiro" who has the same talent as him.
"Hello, Mr. Hintaki, my name is Kamado Tanjiro!" The charcoal-burning boy bowed with a restrained expression.
"Rintaki Sakonji" nodded noncommittally.
"Go up the mountain and follow my footsteps closely. If you fall behind halfway, I won't turn around and come back to pick you up."
Humans do not have the near-eternal life of ghosts. Even the "pillars" as powerful as those that can kill ghosts still have old age, frailty, injury, and retirement.
Although these withering strong men can no longer fight ghosts like the "Twelve Ghost Moons", they still have not given up their mission as "ghost hunters" and have retired to various places as "cultivators".
The Demon Slayer Corps is constantly supplying new blood.
Even though his hair has turned gray, "Kinataki Sakonji"'s physical fitness is still very comparable to others, and his climbing pace is so fast that he doesn't look like an old man who has been ravaged by time.
