Demon Slayer: The Undead Swordsman of Thunder

"Your ramen!"

The shopkeeper's enthusiastic voice sounded, and the steaming ramen was served.

"Thank you, Namo Amitabha!" Xingming put his hands together and thanked sincerely.

The shopkeeper politely left, and he relied on his perception to accurately pick up the chopsticks beside him.

Apart from Touma, Gyomei of Beiming Island is the pillar with the most hope of entering the realm of transparency in the Demon Slayer Corps.

As the pillar with the longest seniority, he is recognized by everyone as the strongest besides Touma.

Slurp——!

The sound of slurping noodles sounded, and just after taking a bite, Xingming suddenly raised his head.

Under the blue sky, a crow flew over. He was exclusive to Xingming and was named Juejia.

Juejia landed steadily on the master's shoulder, and then reported in a low voice:

"Master, the swordsmith village was invaded by evil spirits, but Master Shin beheaded the Hundred Eyes Demon, and the crisis was resolved."

Hearing this good news, Xingming nodded and smiled. He had guessed that Shin had definitely set foot in that area.

"By the way, there are also Tanjiro, Master Kanroji, your apprentice Xuanmiya, and Nezuko who defeated Muzan's clone.

Of course, Master Butterfly protected the villagers in this surprise attack!"

Juejia reported the good news to Xingming one by one, and the latter nodded frequently.

"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, Juejia!"

As he said this, Xingming took a bowl and poured some water into it, and then took out some rice from his arms.

His crow is like this. If he doesn't repeat the news completely, he won't eat.

In this way, one person and one crow ate quietly.

After finishing his meal, he put a coin on the table, raised his voice, and said, "Shopkeeper, check out!"

"Okay, customer, five bowls of ramen, a total of ..." A crisp female voice sounded, and before she finished speaking, she stopped abruptly.

Xingming clearly heard the sound of the account book falling to the ground, and the breath made him somewhat familiar.

In a trance, scenes from the past emerged in his mind.

That year, Xingming was seventeen years old. He was a monk in a temple, and he took in some helpless children and treated them as his own family.

But one night, a selfish child let the evil spirit in to save his own life.

The children all died... No, Xingming still saved a four-year-old girl named Sayo.

At dawn, the police looked at the room full of broken limbs and blood, a frightened child, and a strong monk covered in blood.

Sado pointed to where Xingming was, trembling and crying, saying: "It was it, that monster that killed everyone. It was Brother Xingming who protected us, it was..."

Because of her crying, her words were unclear, and the police frowned and hastily closed the case. After all, the evidence was clear and there were witnesses.

Sado also fainted because of excessive shock.

Since then, Xingming of Beiming Island no longer believed in children. He believed that children would deceive people with their weak appearance.

Ten years later, Sado, who had grown up, reunited with Xingming.

After the temple incident, she was adopted by a couple who ran this noodle shop.

"What's wrong?" Xingming asked.

"Brother Xingming, I'm Sado. I want to say that back then..."

Without waiting for the other party to finish, Xingming turned and left, muttering: "No need to look for me, never see you again, benefactor!"

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the spot.

A woman's voice came from the noodle shop, very kind: "Sada, what's wrong?"

"No...Nothing!"

She shook her head, her eyes full of guilt, there are some things she wants to tell Xingming.

Gradually, the sun set.

It happened that the sky was cloudy, and heavy rain came suddenly, and the mood of the sky was also erratic.

Xingming sat under the eaves of Fuji's house, listening to the sound of rain, he sighed and murmured:

"This rain is very chaotic, Namo Amitabha!"

Juejia was still flying around in the rain, it especially liked heavy rainy days, flying around in the rain, very comfortable.

Suddenly, it saw a black shadow floating by.

As an old bird, it could tell at a glance that it was a ghost, and the direction it was going seemed a little familiar.

Human life was at stake, it did not dare to delay, and hurriedly flew to Fuji's house.

In the small noodle shop, the Fujino couple were checking the account book, while Sayo was sitting absent-mindedly.

"Are you worried, Sayo?" Mrs. Fujino asked softly. Although she was adopted, the couple usually doted on their daughter.

"I'm fine, Mom!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a loud bang, and the door of the shop was violently knocked open.

Under the powerful shock wave, the Fujino couple fainted on the spot, and Sayo's body was covered with blood marks from wood chips, and her consciousness was blurred.

She struggled to stand up and saw the ghost at the door clearly. She was stunned.

It was a ghost, just like the monster she saw in her childhood.At that time, she made a mistake. Because of fear, she hurt the people who protected her.

At this moment, she was not afraid.

"Don't kill my parents, eat me!"

"Please, ghost!"

Sayo struggled to stand up and walked towards the ghost at the door step by step. The cold raindrops hit his face, and the rain mixed with blood flowed down.

The evil ghost was stunned for a moment. It was the first time for it to hear such an abstract request and ask for death right away.

After a short period of adaptation, its figure flashed, and its claws flashing with cold light cut through the rain and went straight to Sayo's neck.

Sayo closed his eyes, his tone full of regret and guilt, and murmured: "Brother Xingming, I'm sorry that I couldn't apologize to you in person!"

"I'll pay you with my life!"

Clang--

The sound of metal collision sounded, and the broad axe cut through the rain curtain, instantly killing the evil ghost.

"Since you've survived, why bother to die?" Xingming's slightly sad voice sounded.

Hearing this, Sayo suddenly opened her eyes, she burst into tears, and shouted in self-blame:

"Brother Xingming, I...I wasn't referring to you that day, I was referring to that monster, but the monster disappeared, I was so scared that I fainted!"

"It's all my fault, I was too scared, it's me who put you in jail!"

"You beat me up, scold me, if you don't feel relieved, kill me!"

"This life, I owe you!"

Sayo was emotional, kneeling in front of Xingming of Beiming Island, blood mixed with tears.

Xingming was stunned, he had killed ghosts for so long, he was used to the fact that the sun would destroy ghosts.

It was not until this moment that he realized that Sayo was referring to the evil ghost under his feet...

It was the evil ghost that was destroyed by the sun.

Maybe he didn't notice it himself, it was a misunderstanding.

He has been in the mountains all these years, so he never knows the full picture of the mountains.

He has been trapped by such a misunderstanding for ten years.

"I saved you, why should I kill you!" Xingming said slowly.

He paused, rubbed Sayo's head, and murmured, just like ten years ago:

"Let the past be the past, Sayo!"

This time, he did not say donor, nor did he say Namo Amitabha, but her name.

"Brother Xingming, I'm sorry, wow--"

Sayo hugged Xingming and cried bitterly.

After a while, Xingming took out the three thousand to save your life and the wisteria seeds and sachets, and said:

"This medicine can heal injuries, and always have wisteria flowers!"

"Live well, we will meet again if we are destined!"

After that, he turned and walked out of the store.

Looking up, the rain stopped, and a ray of pure moonlight penetrated the dark clouds and fell on Xingming's chest.
