The selection of the Demon Slayer Corps is very cruel, and the battle after joining the Demon Slayer Corps is even more cruel. So Dulan is a little confused. Since passing the selection does not mean that he will not die in the future, why should he participate in such a cruel selection in the first place?
Does this cruel selection serve any purpose other than losing lives in vain? Is it to show that the Demon Slayer Corps only needs elites? But won’t the elites continue to lose their lives in subsequent battles?
Is it to make everyone who joins the Demon Slayer Corps wake up and eliminate those who are timid and afraid of death? But in Dulan's view, this kind of extraordinary selection first eliminates those who are courageous, but those who are greedy and fearful.
Dead people are more likely to survive.
Dying in the selection ceremony is the most worthless way to die. Just like an army has many people die before it goes to the battlefield, and if the war continues to die after the actual war begins, then the first batch of people to die will be
It makes no sense anymore.
If you really want to say it, I can only say that the Demon Slayer Corps has maintained this selection for hundreds of years, so I don't think there is anything wrong with this selection.
It was obvious that the selection problem was huge, but because the Demon Slayer Corps had been maintained, no one objected.
In fact, some people vaguely feel that this selection is wrong, but their individual voices are too weak to change anything.
The so-called selection is actually to lock the participants in a deep mountain full of ghosts. As long as they survive for seven days, these participants will become members of the ghost killing team. The mountains are full of captured ghosts, and these ghosts want to eat people.
Yes, so the reserve team members have to fight ghosts.
Of course, there are also people who are lucky. For example, someone fainted as soon as they entered the mountains, and it was already seven days later when they opened their eyes. They passed the selection in a daze. There were countless casualties among the people around them, but they themselves were fine.
Dulan felt that he wanted to do something meaningful, so on the eve of the selection, he transformed into a mage and came to the mountain where Tanjiro practiced, and met his teacher, an old man wearing a Tengu mask. This old man was one of the few who survived to
A retired ghost hunter who used to be a very powerful swordsman. When he got older, he took a back seat and concentrated on cultivating the successors of water breathing. However, many of his disciples were eaten without even passing the selection. It can be said that he is like this.
A victim of brutal selection.
"Master, you have traveled thousands of miles to come here, what do you do?" After seeing the master, the old man politely asked Dulan to drink water. The old man had a very keen sense of smell and could distinguish between humans and ghosts. He knew that Dulan was a human being.
"Actually, I came here specifically for the selection of the Demon Slayer Corps." Duran said: "I think this selection is meaningless and can be terminated."
"Do you know the Demon Slayer Squad?" The old man looked at Dulan doubtfully, not knowing the other party's identity: "Who are you?"
"I am Du Lan, the mage from Baishen Mountain. I wonder if you have heard of my name?"
Although the old man is retired, he has frequent correspondence with the Demon Slayer Corps. He knows that Dulan has become the most famous mage in the past two years. Even foreigners and the emperor have invited Dulan to practice magic, and it has even been reported in international newspapers.
Passed this magical Eastern mage: "I know you."
"I think the selection of your Demon Slayer Corps is completely unreasonable and is just killing talents. Talent is the most important thing in this era, but selection is consuming talents. I believe that many young people died because of various circumstances without actually using their abilities at all.
Under selection."
The old man knows it very well. Many of his disciples have died. Obviously he is very optimistic about these disciples. He also believes that these disciples should have greater achievements, but they died after failing to pass the selection. It is a pity. But he
How can one person change the status quo?
"Selection is naturally meaningful. It has been this way for hundreds of years." The old man himself also joined the ghost-killing team through selection. Although it is cruel, it is fair.
"Is it right to have been like this for hundreds of years? It seems that you have not accepted the beatings of the Edo period. Look at the iron-clad ships of the foreigners. That is the era. Besides, you have not observed the rules that have been observed for hundreds of years.
You destroyed all the ghosts, doesn’t this prove that there is something wrong with your rules?”
The old man opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, but it seemed to make sense.
"But if it changes, the Demon Slayer Corps may be disbanded." Although the demons were not defeated, at least the rules of the Demon Slayer Corps were maintained.
"Is it really a rule to maintain the inheritance of the Demon Slayer Corps for hundreds of years? Why do I think it is a curse?" Dulan hit the nail on the head. If it weren't for the ghost ancestor in the family and other clan members would not live to be thirty years old, the Demon Slayer Corps would have been long gone.
It was disbanded, and no matter how strict the selection was, it was useless: "Think about it carefully, so many young people died in vain without saving even one person, and they have no value. Is this really good?"
It's definitely not good.
The old man was persuaded, and it would definitely not be flattering for an insider to bring up this matter, but Dulan is an outsider, and he is also a well-known mage. If he persuades the master, he may be able to change his words: "I will take you to see the master."
This is a taboo, because the members of the Demon Slayer Corps are afraid of demon revenge, so everything is kept secret, and the address of the leader is a secret among secrets. Ordinary members of the Demon Slayer Corps have no chance to know the address of the master.
The old man would be taking a huge risk by bringing outsiders.
But the old man also hopes that he can do something. He really can no longer watch his disciples die.
So the old man took Dulan to the master's house. The master didn't blame the old man. Although the master was only in his twenties, he was already extremely ill. His eyes were completely blind, and his body and skin were ulcerated. He didn't expect to live for a few years.
This curse is really cruel.
Of course, Du Lan seriously suspected that this was not a curse, but a genetic disease. After all, the ghost ancestor turned into a ghost in order to cure his illness. If he had not turned into a ghost, he would not have lived to be thirty years old.
So this disease already existed before Ghost Ancestor, but it was passed down from generation to generation, and it was so scary that it was indeed like a curse.
"It turns out Master Dulan." Although the master kept a diary for thousands of miles and had to think about dealing with ghost incidents every day, he also knew Dulan. Because his wife had suggested seeking treatment from Dulan, but the master refused. He knew that ghosts were the
The source of the curse cannot be found outside.
If this disease is really cured by Du Lan, it will be very embarrassing, because their family has believed that this is a curse for a thousand years, and it cannot be cured without killing the ghost ancestor. If it is really cured, it means that they are wrong
After a thousand years, they couldn't keep their face at all.
"I am here to stop your inhumane selection. I think your selection does not treat people as human beings and is a serious waste. Rather than letting the young people participating in the selection die, it is better to let them find their own position and perform to their full potential."
With heat." Duran once again elaborated on his point of view.
When the Lord listened quietly, there were not many emotional changes. After all, he was a patient, and emotional ups and downs were not good for his illness. When Dulan finished speaking, he nodded: "I also agree with what you said, but their
Death will not be meaningless. The selection must be strict enough and effective enough, so actual combat selection is the best choice. I don’t want young people to lose their lives, but there is no better way."
Although Dulan also sent his disciples to the Warring States Period for training, he ensured the safety of his disciples, so he didn't think there was any other way.
