Tanjiro found the old man and learned about the history of ghosts and the Demon Slayer Squad. He also learned about the existence of ghost ancestors who transformed ghosts. He also learned that most of his family members were eaten by ghosts and nothing was left.
After knowing this, Tanjiro decided to become a ghost hunter and join the Demon Slayer Corps, but before that, he needed to practice his sword skills, otherwise he, a young man selling charcoal, would just die if he went in.
And Nezuko fell into a deep sleep, because in order to overcome the blood-sucking, she had to rely on deep sleep to replenish energy, otherwise she might die.
Tanjiro is only thirteen years old now, and it's too late to start training. The old man has prepared the most severe training for him. Because joining the Demon Slayer Corps is not a joke, it is better to bleed and shed tears now than to die then.
But even the most cruel training still cannot ensure that Tanjiro can survive, because this is not the first time that the old man teaches disciples. He has lost many disciples and knows how cruel the Demon Slayer Squad is. It is really on the tip of the knife.
Dance.
First comes physical fitness, then reaction, then swordsmanship and breathing.
Tanjiro is running up and down the mountain all day long, and he also has to avoid traps on the road. Even if he has been doing physical work, he has suffered enough. But he has the anger of revenge in his heart, so Tanjiro must persevere and will never give up.
.
Compared with the old man's training, Duran's training was not far behind. He simply threw Kanae and Aoi Branch into the Warring States Period. Just like "Inuyasha", the well of Duran Shrine can also travel through time and space, allowing them to travel through time and space.
Breakthrough in actual combat.
Two years is not a long time, not a short time. It is enough for Duran to do a lot of things.
There is a poem "The Charcoal Seller" by Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty. There is a sentence in it: "The poor man is wearing only the same clothes, and he is worried that the charcoal is cheap and wishes it would be cold." It tells the sadness of the old man who sells charcoal. In the end, all his charcoal was confiscated by the palace, and he only received
He bought a small amount of cloth and criticized the harshness of the Tang Dynasty court at that time.
However, Tanjiro's family has always been very optimistic, and for more than three hundred years, the family has been prosperous and the business of selling charcoal has been going on. It is really an incredible miracle. Although Tanjiro is different from the protagonists of other stories, there is no
A prominent family, but no super dad.
But the charcoal seller family that started from the Warring States Period is a miracle in a sense. And although his father is just an ordinary charcoal seller on the surface, secretly he is a super hermit who can challenge big bears even if he is weak and sick. Although there is no
name, but his strength is not inferior to those super dads at all.
Du Lan can imagine how many bullies and evil officials the Zaomen family has used its inherited power to kill in order to maintain their business over the past three hundred years. Of course, they are willing to be ordinary and make a living by selling charcoal to maintain their business of "picking chrysanthemums".
Seeing Nanshan's mentality, as long as others don't disturb them, they will always be willing to sell charcoal to live.
It is as if there is a sense of mission that makes this family wait silently for three hundred years, waiting for the appearance of a certain person. The appearance of this person will break the family's three hundred years of history and relieve them of their mission.
Just like the mausoleum guardians, the mausoleum guardians will live next to the mausoleum for generations, and will never forget their mission for hundreds of years. The Kamado family is a different kind of mausoleum guardians, passing on their power from generation to generation, but they all
He does not consider this power to be his own, but to pass it on to the chosen one.
Du Lan thought that the Kamado family was considered a big local family. There were so many brothers and sisters in each generation, so they should have spread out. But in the story, Tanjiro never mentioned relatives. I don't know why. Anyway.
It's not like Tanjiro's generation will encounter accidents every time. Only one or two people are left. Even if there are only two left, Tanjiro still has a sister. Then is there only one person in his father's generation and no uncle?
And his aunt? And there are no uncles and aunts on his mother's side?
After encountering the incident, Tanjiro seemed to have assumed the role of himself and his sister, living alone and alone, with no relatives to turn to.
Theoretically, a family that is more than three hundred years old should have many relatives, but a story is just a story after all. If the protagonist has many passionate relatives to help him organize the story, the story will not unfold.
At the shrine, Duran helped the Kamado family make a genealogy and discovered that the family actually had many members. People in that area were all related to the Kamado family, but they were not allowed to help the Kamado family.
The Kamado family's inheritance for three hundred years is very impressive, but there are also many families in this country that have inherited it for thousands of years. It can be said that if there was no Warring States Period, the country's solidification situation would be even worse than it is now.
No matter which country it is, the Warring States Period represents a critical period of social transformation. Although chaos deprived countless lives, it also brought about various reforms. In the chaos, everyone will understand that the gods are not working.
Illusive, thereby achieving de-religion.
At the same time, society will also seek a brand-new system to enable people to become more productive.
Therefore, any country that has experienced the Warring States Period will eventually evolve to a new dimension. The Warring States Period is the process of breaking the old system and embracing the new system.
The Kamado family was a beneficiary of the Warring States Period, and they began to prosper during the Warring States Period.
After taking care of the three-hundred-year-old Zaomen family, Dulan began to make a genealogy for the thousand-year-old family where the ghost ancestor belonged. After the ghost ancestor became a ghost, he started to look for food from his family members at the beginning, and he ate them first.
His own wives and concubines, and then he attacked other family members. So the first people to know about the existence of ghosts were his family members, and the first ghost hunters were also made up of his family members.
It can be said that the war between humans and ghosts is the internal fighting of a family, which has been passed down for thousands of years. The leader of the Demon Slayer Squad has been inherited from this family for generations, which means that the boss of the Demon Slayer Squad has always been a descendant of the ghost ancestor.
Of course, one thousand years is seven hundred years longer than three hundred years. Even the guardians of the tomb may not be able to persist for such a long time. The reason why this family has been so determined from generation to generation is because of the curse. Because such a rebellious thing as the Ghost Ancestor exists,
Therefore, as long as the ghost ancestor is not eliminated, the descendants of this family will not live to be thirty years old, and they will all die ugly. The way to break the curse is to kill the ghost ancestor, and only in this way can they live past the age of thirty.
It is the curse that drives them to hunt ghosts tirelessly. Without this curse, it is still a question whether the Demon Slayer Corps can be passed down.
So how long can a person's will be passed down? The Kamado family has three hundred years, and it is probably over by Tanjiro's generation, because Tanjiro has obviously found a path other than selling charcoal. After all, there is no curse in his family to support him.
Don't change your mind.
Sure enough, the will to inherit still needs the blessing of external forces to allow them to persist from generation to generation. As long as the ghost ancestor's immortal curse does not disappear, not to mention a thousand years, but even three thousand years must be supported.
Organizing the genealogies of the two families will allow Duran to be more fully prepared for the next story. This story can be said to be the end of three hundred years versus the starting point of a thousand years, the end of the ritual and the beginning of the curse.
