Stable Polarized Practice

"Please become a Buddha."

Beside the corpse of the huge turquoise alien that gradually turned into ashes, the boy in the blue water-rippled feather knitting put his hands together, closed his eyes and prayed softly, and the sunflower flower earrings that fell from his ears swayed gently with the wind .

This hand ghost is the most powerful ghost Tanjiro encountered in Fujishiyama. The swordsmen who stay in this ghost cage and hunt every year have eaten more than 50 people.Moreover, among the more than 50 people, there are thirteen disciples of Master Lintaki...including Sato and Mako.

Tanjiro looked down at the last part of the hand ghost's body also turned into ashes, and silently picked up the fox mask that fell on the ground in the previous battle-it was damaged, and the crack spread from the right eye of the fox face. Just picking it up has already overwhelmed it and shattered it.

This is the disaster relief mask carved by Master Lintaki for each of his disciples, but he did not expect that there would be such a hand ghost hunting every disciple of Lintaki wearing a disaster relief mask. The strength of this hand ghost is far superior to other ghosts , if it wasn't for being injured when it met Tanjiro...

Tanjiro thought that he might even become the No. 14 disciple of Rinaki that it killed.

but……

Tanjiro wiped the blood from his head with his haori sleeve in bewilderment:

"It smells scary... What are you running away from in a panic?"

-

"Tch, that big green guy escaped."

With an uneasy "cut", he shook off the remaining ghost blood on the knife, put the knife back into the ghost-slaying scabbard hanging next to the main knife, stepped on the ashes on the ground, and poked it with the scabbard to keep it in place. The blond brother in a knife-retracting posture:

"Brother, don't sleep."

My wife Shanyi was poked and staggered, and she woke up from a half-sleeping state in an instant. The first thing she did after standing still was to hug her little brother and collapse and scream: "Ah, ah, little brother, it's too much here It’s scary! More than a dozen ghosts besieged the two of us together! And what is that huge green monster?! I’ve never seen such a scary monster! It’s so scary! I’m super weak! Little Junior Brother, you must protect me—oh? Why is there so much dust here?"

The blond senior brother who stepped into the ashes was stunned for a moment, then shook his feet in distaste, and took two steps back: "... so dirty?"

"Oh, that's the ashes of the ghosts that were killed." The junior brother of Blue Yamamon Haori tilted his head and said in a natural tone: "There are four other necks that were chopped off by you? Senior brother."

"...Me?" My wife Shanyi pointed at herself in disbelief: "Junior brother, are you kidding me? How can I kill a ghost if I am so weak? I have to rely on you to protect me to survive here!"

"But you did cut it yourself." An Ding glanced at him inexplicably: "It's still a ghost head that was snatched from me, although I don't know why you are willing to kill ghosts when you are sleeping, but those ghosts are indeed you. Killed."

"Sleep, sleep? Kill ghost? Me?!"

An Ding nodded, tightened the slightly loose forehead band at the back of his head, shook his fluffy ponytail, and there was a murderous look in his clear blue eyes: "You did it yourself—by the way, brother , that big guy who escaped while we were beheading other ghosts ran from this direction, let's go after him?"

Such a huge ghost, with a body as huge as a mountain of meat, and with multiple arms firmly guarding its neck... Didn't this just arouse Anding's desire to behead its head?

It's like half-covering is always more emotional than frankness, and it makes people want to peel off that layer of tulle. Doesn't it make people want to cut its neck when it protects its own neck?An Ding naturally thought this way, and urged the blond brother who was still in a daze:

"Let's go, brother?"

……

For the ghosts in the vine raiding mountain, it was a nightmarish seven days. They completely changed from hunters hunting swordsmen to prey being hunted.

"Let me ask you, do you know how to turn a ghost back into a human?"

The boy with the blue water ripple feather was holding a knife in his hand, pointing the tip at a ghost who looked back in horror and kept looking behind him, but couldn't move because he was stuck by a tree branch.

This low-level ghost does not have much mind, and has been imprisoned in Fujishishan for so long, it has almost lost the ability to speak, leaving only the instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages like a beast. Tanjiro sighed, compassionate but decisive Beheaded its head: "... I hope you can rest in peace."

At this time, it is approaching the end of "survive in this mountain for seven days", and for some reason, Tanjiro has encountered fewer and fewer ghosts in the past two days, and most of them are in strange states, with frightened and crazy expressions, as if they are escaping from some horror The existence of it is normal—exactly the same as the injured hand ghost before.

"...What are they afraid of?" Tanjiro was a little confused, he turned his head and glanced at the direction that the ghost was terrified of: "Is there anything there?"

……

"Hahahahahaha——" An Ding excitedly chopped off another ghost's head: "No. 40 three heads!"

"Zizi——" The sound of breathing entangled with the sound of thunder and lightning sounded, a golden lightning flashed instantly, and the next moment, a ghost head flew out far away, my wife Shanyi, who closed her eyes tightly, kept her upper body slightly bent With a low posture, the knife was sheathed with a "clang".

"Huh—" An Ding fell back to the ground lightly, and looked around: "A ghost ran away just now... which direction is it?"

Unexpectedly, An Ding, who hadn't thought of the escape direction of the fish that slipped through the net, tilted his head, and decisively pushed the senior brother who was still in the same posture: "Senior brother Shanyi, wake up?"

"Huh? Huh? What happened?"

The snot bubble popped, and my wife Shanyi woke up from sleep again: "Why, what's wrong, little brother?"

"A ghost has escaped." An Ding pulled up the scarf with some trouble: "The big green guy who ran away before was not found, and just now he lost a brain and a ghost, so I want you to listen to me, brother. When I heard where that ghost went, after all, senior brother Shanyi is better at scouting than me."

My wife Shanyi: "..."

Oh he heard it!Oh, he really heard it!Junior brother, you obviously want to say "a head ran away", right? !In your eyes, do all the scary ghosts line up and wait for your head to be chopped off? !Too scary, right?I don't know if I should be afraid of ghosts or you? ! !It's a bit too murderous!

And what is reconnaissance!Why does the junior brother always say something that he can't understand!It means let him use his hearing to find the ghost that was scared away by the little brother, right?Are his ears used for this kind of thing?Normally speaking, shouldn't it be a place to avoid ghosts? !What's wrong with my junior brother! ! !

My wife Shanyi was complaining crazily in her heart, but her body still moved honestly. He put his ear together with one hand and listened intently, then he froze for a moment:

"Over there, there seems to be another one over there..."

Before he finished speaking, the little junior brother with a cute face but a terrifying expression ran over there with a "hee hee hee" smile. Shanyi stretched out Erkang's hand and opened his mouth, only to spit out the second half of the words weakly:

"...But someone over there seems to have killed the ghost you were chasing."

-

"Huh?" Tanjiro, who was about to turn around and leave, stopped abruptly. He sniffed the air with a hesitant expression, and then looked behind him:

"Is it the smell of iron... How strange? It also smells like humans?"

……

"——I found you!" A blue figure entwined with electric light rushed out from behind the bushes, and the ponytailed boy with a forehead guard grinned excitedly and murderously, as if the real bloody murderous aura was almost overwhelming Press it over—so strong murderous intent!

Tanjiro became tense in an instant, even if it wasn't a ghost, a person with such a strong murderous aura made his nerves clamor for danger!He stared vigilantly at the guy who jumped out, but at the next moment, he found that the boy with ponytail, who was wearing the same color haori as his, was stunned for a moment, and the suppressed murderous look suddenly suffocated: "Huh? Why not?"

Tanjiro: "...what isn't it?"

The guy with the shaggy ponytail scratched his hair, his breath became calm and gentle in an instant, and the blue-haired boy with a tear mole in his eyes nodded kindly to him: "I came after a head . . . a head slipped from my hand."

Tanjiro: "..."

Tanjiro suddenly realized: "Ah, so you were the one the ghosts avoided these two days? But what is a head?"

An Ding: "Huh? Why are ghosts avoiding you?"

The two looked at each other, and didn't quite understand what the other said, but this awkward situation was quickly broken, because not too far away, a scream of panic and collapse rose into the sky:

"Yeah!!! Junior brother save me! There are ghosts here!!!"

-

"Senior brother, you have already killed that ghost yourself, why are you calling me so loudly? I thought you were in some danger, and you came back with the last one."

On the way down the mountain, An Ding asked in a puzzled way. He raised his hand to push away the hanging wisteria flowers, and looked back at Shan Yi who was holding his knife with a righteous expression on his face:

"...And brother, what kind of expression is that on your face? It's so strange."

The blond-haired brother was staring at his feet with long eyes and empty eyes. His ears, which were so sensitive that the detection value of the knife could not catch up, did not hear any sound at all. He was still muttering mechanically, "I actually killed it" At that, An Ding couldn't help but shed a drop of cold sweat: "...Brother Shanyi, are you okay?"

"Huh? Hehehe...I'm fine." My wife Shanyi said with a look of out-of-body expression:

"I'm just a little surprised that I was able to kill ghosts, and there are so many ghosts, and I actually killed them... Hehehe..."

An Ding: "...No, you don't look like you're okay."
