Chapter 75 The Mountain God Marries a Wife
"One, two, three! One, two, three! . . . "

In the evening, the sound of slogans came to mind in the mountains and forests. The dim sunlight fell on the bare hillside, and the solitary crow was crying listlessly.

A woodcutter, wearing sackcloth clothes, with an ax on his waist, was walking down the mountain with a large bundle of firewood on his back, wondering if his wife had prepared some good wine and food for him.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of a trumpet in the nearby forest, which made him tremble all over.

He wanted to run, but the sound of the chant was getting closer and closer to him.He suddenly remembered that there was a big house in this mountain, in which lived a mountain god who would go down the mountain to catch children and women.

So he had a dangerous idea, he wanted to see what the mountain god looked like.

He walked into the woods cautiously, and fumbled in the direction of the chant.

But he never thought that what he saw would become his nightmare for the rest of his life.

Looking far away, it was four people carrying a sedan chair.

A closer look made him gasp.

The two people in the front, or human-shaped things, one has a pig's head, and the other has a head full of yellow hair and a livid face.

The two people behind each wear a black and a white two-faced disaster-dispelling fox mask on their faces. This is a typical costume of a fox demon in human form in the legend.

And the black fox mask with horns on its head and bared fangs is particularly terrifying.

He looked again, and there were two black crows sitting on the top of the sedan chair, and three children were leading the way in front.

The woodcutter held his breath, not daring to breathe out for a while.

At this moment, there are only four words in his mind.

The mountain god takes a wife!

This is a very old legend in the island country. It is said that mountain gods usually live alone, but a few of them also live together with gods and spirits from other places.

One of the most important steps is to marry a wife. There will be little monsters in the mountains carrying sedan chairs to pick up the bride, surrounded by spiritual pets as companions, and if the conditions are good, virgins and virgins will be brought as dowry gifts.

The more the woodcutter thought about it, the more frightened he became. He lay down behind the tree, not daring to breathe, for fear that he would bump into the procession of receiving the bride, and the whole family would not be at peace.

When it was completely dark, he ran down the mountain.

So, it didn't take long for the legend of the mountain god to get married on this half-height mountain, but it was also from that day that the mountain god never went down the mountain to catch children.

Many people speculate that the mountain god married a kind-hearted fairy, and his heart became kind.

Speaking of the "marriage" team, Li Qingming and Tanjiro wore masks because they sensed the presence of the woodcutter.

Li Qingming felt that it was a bit embarrassing to be bumped into by outsiders, so he put on the mask.

Tanjiro saw that his elder brother was wearing a mask, so he put on the mask himself.

Unexpectedly, just because of the behavior of the two of them, the already weird transportation team was covered with a strange veil.

Sensing the woodcutter approaching, Tanjiro wanted to ask for directions, but he found the wrong figure, and he was still a little puzzled, "Brother Qingming, that old man disappeared, and I still want to ask him for directions... "

Li Qingming naturally knew that the woodcutter was hiding behind a tree not far away, but he really didn't have the courage to meet people in such an embarrassing situation. He was also afraid of frightening people in this team that was like learning from the West.

He shook his head and said, "It's good for him to leave, to avoid some troubles, and you can just ask Tan Shishiro to explore the way later."

"Ah."

Tanjiro nodded.

……

As night fell, the four people finally carried the carriage to the gate of the house painted with wisteria flowers.

Li Qingming took a look at the house. Although it wasn't magnificent, it was still majestic. Wisteria flowers bloomed at the door and around the walls.

The sweet smell of wisteria flowers constantly filled the nostrils of several people.

However, taking advantage of the darkness, the four of them couldn't help but think of the sleepless nights on Fujiji Mountain.

Li Qingming said to several people, "Hang on, we can eat and rest soon!"

Shanyi hummed and said, "But it's finally here, I thought I was going to die of exhaustion."

Inosuke exhaled two streams of white air from the pig's nostrils, and carried the car on his shoulders again, "I'm not tired, I don't need to eat, and I don't need to rest."

In fact, he was overwhelmed by Li Qingming's blow. Apart from being more docile to Li Qingming, he still looked arrogant to others.

But for Inosuke's words, Tanjiro already knew that the other party was a simple-minded guy who liked to show off, so he ignored it.

And Shanyi was too tired to complain anymore, he just wanted to have a quick meal, and then lie down and have a good sleep.

clack clack clack...

The door painted with a wisteria pattern was slowly opened, and a short old lady appeared at the door, and said softly, "It's the first time we meet, please take care of me. Excuse me, are you the masters of the Ghost Killing Squad, please come in."

After entering the mansion, the old lady first performed a physical examination on everyone, and found that except for Li Qingming, the other three had fractures in their chests to varying degrees.

So San Xiaoqiang could only lie down and rest, eating some porridge and soup.

Li Qingming was afraid that the three little ones would be lonely, so he brought roast chicken and sake to their bedside, and sympathized with their illness while eating.

The three lay flat on the bed, unable to move because of the splint.

Li Qingming walked and ate with the chicken leg in one hand and the wine glass in the other.

Soon, the aroma of roasted chicken and sake filled the room.

Tanjiro has the most sensitive sense of smell and suffers the most torture.

He thought of grabbing Li Qingming's chicken legs, but couldn't get up, so he could only say bitterly, "Oh, what a pity, I didn't expect the three of us to have broken ribs, otherwise we would be able to drink and eat meat."

Shanyi said beside him with a bruised nose and a swollen face, "It's the first time I've suffered such a serious injury, and it wasn't because of fighting a ghost..."

Inosuke said as if nothing happened, "That's not because you have the physique to attract disasters."

Shanyi shouted angrily, "You still have the face to say that you are my disaster! You didn't cause my injury."

Tanjirou helped Zenitsu and said, "Yes, Inosuke, you should apologize to Zenitsu."

"Huh," Inosuke was a little upset, "I don't apologize, the injury is because of your disaster-causing physique, and you are too weak, so don't blame me!"

Shanyi was speechless for a while, although there was no reason, it seemed to make sense, if it wasn't that he was too weak to do anything, it wouldn't be like this.

Li Qingming watched the three cubs throw pots at each other, eating wine and meat with gusto.

Every so often, the stomachs of the three little ones started gurgling almost at the same time.

Inosuke scolded, "The old woman is too stingy, just give me such a little plain scroll, it makes me hungry!"

Shanyi echoed, "Yes, I'm really hungry, brother Qingming give me a bite."

Tanjiro couldn't help it anymore, "Brother Keiming, you actually owe Inosuke an apology."
