When the sand sculpture trial decides to make trouble

When she walked up Fujishi Mountain again, the haori worn by Minan Rinka was no longer her original one, but the haori worn by Tsurumomiya Liuhuo.The main body of this haori is white, only the hem of the sleeves and corners is dotted with a few flowing lines.

Soon, she saw the boys and girls who went up the mountain one after another just now.They gathered in the open space surrounded by lush wisteria trees and vermilion columns, facing a step and two girls in front of the step.

The two girls' faces were covered with white cream, their lips were bright red, their eyes were deep purple, and their hair was one silver and one black. They looked ghostly for no reason.Wearing kimonos, the two are holding two paper lanterns, one on the left and the other on the right, looking like two copied and pasted cutouts.

Minan Rinhua frowned, and looked around—the boys and girls who arrived earlier than her were sitting or standing, all waiting quietly in this open space, and did not have any strange emotions towards the existence of the two girls .Presumably the trainer who taught them had carefully described the final selection situation for them before leaving.

And Minan Rinka naturally didn't have this kind of benefit - she just heard what she said in a crying voice when she took over the haori from Tsurumu Palace Duohuo at the foot of the mountain.

Ever since Tsurumiya Liuhuo produced a heart rate of 999, she was full of gratitude and kindness to Minan Rinka, and even gave her her own saber.But Minan Rinka looked at Minghu on her waist, remembered Mukichi Sadamune, Smiling Aoe and Hakata Toshiro in her arms, and refused.

Let Tsurumiya Liuhuo keep her familiar saber, which will allow her to defend herself in the days to come.And Minan Rinka believes that her own sword, the man's body sword, is far more powerful than the sabers of all the people present.

Now, Minan Rinka looked at the two girls standing motionless between the vermilion pillars, and tentatively took a few steps forward.

The girls who are like twins are still like wood sculptures and clay sculptures, not even moving their eyelashes.

Minan Rinka continued to walk forward.She walked step by step until she reached the two girls, but they didn't respond at all.

—Afraid it was two dummies?

Minan Rinka eagerly raised her hand, stroked the head of the black-haired girl on the right, and then rubbed it a few times.

The soft hair under her palm was immediately rubbed into a bird's nest.Minan Rinka murmured, "This feels like real hair", while picking up a lock of hair and starting to braid it.

Suddenly, the black-haired girl who she used as a dummy raised her head unbearably, her big deep purple eyes made Minan Rinka startled and almost jumped up.

"What are you doing?" the girl asked in a steady tone.

Didn't expect it to be a living person?

"Uh... don't do anything..." Minan Rin was a little embarrassed for a while, and let go of the hand that was holding the girl's pigtail, and took a few steps back to distance herself from them.

Minan Rinka's half-braided braids were still hanging on the black-haired girl's head, matching her messy hair, it looked a bit funny.The black-haired girl was silent for a moment, as if hesitating whether to comb again.

Minan Rinka looked at the two girls, feeling a sense of disobedience in her heart.She thought about it, and suddenly discovered the source of the sense of disobedience.

These two girls were the same as the ghost with the top hat and curly hair back then, and they didn't give her any palpitations at all.

Could it be that they... are also ghosts?But the ghost couldn't get close to the wisteria at all, and the two girls just stood under the wisteria.

Minan Rinka thought for a while, then walked towards the two girls again.This time, instead of going to the black-haired girl on the right, she walked to the silver-haired girl on the left, and grabbed a lock of her hair.

This time, the silver-haired girl didn't endure for a long time like the black-haired girl, but immediately raised her head: "What are you doing?"

Minan Rinhua said the excuse she had prepared: "Put your hair in a braid for you too, otherwise the two of you will be asymmetrical."

[System prompt: Ubuyashiki Hina's palpitation value is 100]

Finally have heart palpitations worth.It turned out that these two people didn't have any problems, but they were more tolerant...

Minan Rinhua got the answer she wanted, and was about to let go of the lock of silver hair in her hand, but the silver-haired girl suddenly said: "Since you have such thoughts, why don't you help my brother straighten his hair again. "

"Brother?" Minan Rinhua was startled, and turned to look at the "black-haired girl", "Aren't you a girl? Then why are you imitating your sister to wear women's clothing?"

[System prompt: Ubuyashiki Teriya's palpitation value is 111]

The result of the real name display will not be wrong. "Black-haired girl" really has a male name...

Minan Rinka was silent for a moment, then walked to Teriyaki Teriya again and untied the braid on his head.

Now that the two children were confirmed to be ordinary people, she straightened out Teriyashiki's hair again, and returned to the other people who participated in the final selection.

Minan Rinka's actions fell into the eyes of the boys and girls who were waiting to enter Fujishiyama.When she retreated into the crowd, a black-haired boy in a green haori on the side couldn't help but talk to her.

"You were really bold just now." The black-haired boy raised his hand to his mouth, and asked Minan Rinka in a low voice, "That's the young master of the Mibuyashiki family and the next leader of the Demon Slayer Team, Sanyashiki Teriya, you Actually went to braid his hair... Didn't your teacher tell you the precautions before you came?"

Minan Rinhua nodded quickly: "Why not? You all know it, so I must know it too..."

"Really?" The black-haired boy couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.He put his hand down and asked, "What's your name? What kind of breath are you learning?"

Minan Rinhua froze and glanced around, and found that the people who were close to them cast their gazes here intentionally or unintentionally.

It seems that it is impossible not to talk—she remembers that when she accepted the haori of Tsurumiya Liuhuo, the girl seemed to be sobbing and said something to her.But at that time, Tsuru Liugong Liuhuo spoke vaguely, and Minan Rinka didn't hear clearly.

What did Tsurumiya Liuhuo say?By the way, she seems to have said something similar to "feng".But when Minan Rinka recalled it now, her mind was full of "Ma Dong what? What Ma Mei? What Dong Mei?".

The girl paused for a moment, and opened her beautifully shaped lips: "My name is Heliu Gong Liuhuo, and I study Feng..."

The people around pricked up their ears, and a word appeared in their minds at the same time—breath of the wind.

The current breathing method is divided into five categories, namely, the breath of fire, the breath of water, the breath of thunder, the breath of rock, and the breath of wind.From these five types of breathing, subdivided breathing methods with their own characteristics are derived, such as the breath of rosy clouds, the breath of flowers, and so on.When using these breathing methods, people can improve the way of absorbing oxygen, and inhale a large amount of oxygen into the body in a short period of time, so as to instantly improve the body's functions and fight against vicious ogres.

Now among the nine cadres of the Ghost Killing Team, namely the "Nine Pillars", there are users of Breath of Wind.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Minan Rinhua bit her head and said, "...seal your breath?"

"..."

【system hint:……】

The young man named Hideo Toyosaki showed a subtle look on his face, and just about to say something, Teriyaki Ubuyashiki and Hina Ubuyashiki who were standing side by side in front suddenly spoke at the same time.The voices of the two merged together, as if the voice of the same person.

"Thank you for coming tonight's final selection for the Demon Slayer Squad..." Teriyaki Ubuyashiki was talking, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Rinka Minan staring at the kimono he was wearing.

[System prompt: Ubuyashiki Teriya's palpitation value is 100]

Minan Rinhua was taken aback.Why do you suddenly have heart palpitations again?You can't blame her, this young master looks like a girl in terms of face, clothes, and voice, and she looks like a dummy when she doesn't move. You can't blame her if you misunderstand...

The two people in Ubuyashiki were still reading their prepared remarks, and Minan Rinka's eyes moved to the wisteria flowers blooming all over the mountains and plains.

Although she has always heard that ghosts are afraid of wisterias, she has never actually tested wisterias on ghosts... I don't know if the wisterias here can be brought into the final selection examination room...

Thinking of this, Minan Rinka stretched out her hand, wanting to reach for the nearest bunch of wisteria flowers...

"...Because the final selection test is for the swordsman's fighting ability, it is a violation of the rules to bring wisteria flowers into the examination room to avoid the battle." Teriyaki Ubuyashiki spoke halfway, and suddenly changed the subject after seeing Rinka Minan's movements Turn, I added a word temporarily.This led to a moment of confusion with his sister Ubuyashiki who had lined up his lines.

[System prompt: Ubuyashiki Teriya's palpitation value is 250]

[System prompt: Ubuyashiki Hina's palpitation value is 333]

Minan Rinka withdrew her hand in embarrassment, pretending that she hadn't done anything.

"Then, please go all the way." Ubashiki Teriya and Ubayashiki Hina, who finally finished their lines, held washi paper lanterns, bowed to everyone, and then gave way to a road to the top of the mountain.

The final selection is finally about to begin.

"Hey, what exactly is your breathing?" Toyosaki Hideo asked curiously, "I've never heard of that kind of breathing. Are you talking nonsense?"

Minan Rinka couldn't help feeling a little headache.

Although in the final selection, everyone must enter the Fujisan Mountain, but there is no requirement in the rules that they must act separately - after all, the strength of a single ghost is much stronger than that of a human, and killing one on average will develop a blood ghost technique. The ghost needs to sacrifice several members of the ghost killing team.Therefore, the Ghost Killing Squad often sends teams to fight together, and encourages candidates to exercise their teamwork skills in the final selection.

Of course there are lone rangers, but there are also many people who get together.Now those who are exploring in the same direction as Minan Rinka are Hideo Toyosaki who asked her name and breathing just now, and several other boys and girls.

As they marched, the wisteria grew farther and farther away from them.In the end, the bright purple was finally lost in the darkness, like a drop of water melting into the thick ink, disappearing without a trace.

Minan Rinka noticed that Hideo Toyosaki stopped asking noisy questions—originally, he asked several questions just to relieve his inner tension.Now that they had penetrated deep into the hinterland of the ogre's field of activity, he stopped making a sound, and even the sound of breathing became a little softer.

A group of five or six people pushed aside the wildly growing plants and moved forward aimlessly.There was silence all around, only the long chirping of insects resounded.

"The condition for passing what the young master said just now is to survive in this vine attack mountain for seven days?" In the silence, a girl in the team spoke softly, her voice was dry due to nervousness, "Naturally, we can have no scruples during the day. Rest on the ground, but there are still several hours before sunrise. I suggest that everyone go to a hidden high place and be able to observe the surrounding vigilance. As long as you stay up until dawn, you can relax a little..."

Minan Rinka glanced back at the girl in surprise—the girl had short hair, was wearing a bunt that was easy to move, and the palm of her right hand never left the handle of the knife at her waist from beginning to end.

Her idea is quite feasible-provided they can really find the ideal location.

"I don't think so." Thinking of this, Minan Rinhua opened his mouth.

[System prompt: Minazuki Shima's palpitation value is 500]

"Why do you say that?" Shima Minzuki opened his mouth nervously, his eyes still carefully observing the surroundings.

"This vine attack mountain has been the examination room for the final selection for many years, and every time the candidates are selected for the first time. For the candidates, this mountain is unfamiliar. But the ghosts inside are trapped in this mountain It's been a long time. Perhaps some ogres have been trapped here for several years and experienced several rounds of selection. This place is like their home for the ghosts." Branches probed the road ahead to prevent someone from losing their balance due to the uneven road surface. "This method must have been thought of by many candidates in the past, and those ghosts naturally know this."

"In this mountain, the hidden heights are limited after all. The ghosts in this mountain know that there will always be candidates looking for such places, so what will they do?" She picked through the dense grass and asked casually.

Shima Minadutsu swallowed a mouthful of saliva.She wanted to understand Minan Rinka's meaning.

"They will set up traps there, and wait for the candidates to pass by and catch them all..." Her voice trembled uncontrollably.

For a while, Minan Rinka more or less received the palpitations of the boys and girls around her.As she walked, she thought about it and said: "I think the best way is to keep moving first - keeping moving is less likely to be found by ghosts than staying in the same place all the time."

After a moment of silence, someone opened his mouth: "You are amazing...you have thought so much in a flash..."

Minan Rinhua was slightly taken aback.She slowed down a little and couldn't help laughing.

"When I was young, I was helped by a very powerful person." She said in a low voice, "That person... used to lead a group of teenagers and girls to fight for the resources enough to survive, and to survive with a straight back. dignity. I learned a lot from his behavior."

Hideo Toyosaki couldn't help asking, "How is that person doing now?"

Minan Rinka paused.

"He died when he was 15," she replied. "He was betrayed by the people he helped."

Minan Rinka's voice is the same as before, and the way of speaking is also understated.But Hideo Toyosaki's scalp was still a little numb.

"Even so, are you willing to help us?" He asked this sentence in a strange way.

Minan Rinka turned her head, smiled and nodded.

"There's nothing wrong with helping people," she said. "There's nothing wrong with what that person did. He just helped the wrong people."

The boys and girls were taken aback.In their hearts, some subtle emotion emerged inexplicably, and it disappeared so quickly that they couldn't recognize it, like water passing through the fingers.

"And after I found out about this..." Minan Rinhua turned her head and continued, "I beat up those who betrayed him with sacks. The kind that made them unable to get out of the hospital bed for a month." .”

【system hint:……】

Ever since she fought against an oni named Onimai Tsuji Musai in Asakusa, Minan Rinka has been highly vigilant against ogres, not afraid to speculate on their actions with the worst malice.

Minan Rinka did not let the men with swords in the main body sword show up to help her fight - because she was surrounded by several boys and girls.She didn't want them to know the secret about the sword man, but she didn't have the heart to abandon them and leave by herself.

Be it the final selection or the mission of the Ghost Slayer Squad, since she is here, she wants to protect as many people as possible.This is not only her kindness, but also conducive to the completion of Honmaru's upgrade task.After all, the more members of the ghost killing team, the greater the chance of winning.

Under the action mode of keeping moving, in the first half of the night, the group didn't even encounter a single ghost.But in the second half of the night, the crescent moon sank, and rustling sounds suddenly appeared around the few people.

"Get ready." Minan Rinka held her breath, her spiritual power instantly spread in the air, sensing the moving objects nearby, "A ghost is coming!"

The place where Minan Rinka and his party are now is the top of a sloping hillside, and at a glance, they can see a large area of ​​lush weeds.The rustling sound is getting closer.Finally, the tall grass in front of him shook violently, and a bright yellow shadow suddenly emerged from the grass.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Minghuang shadow screamed and ran towards the group of people in front of him. ah--"

Ming Huang Ying ran behind everyone and shivered in a few steps.And in the next second, the shaking sound from the grass became more and more intense, and everyone was shocked to find that there were several ripples in the grass that were moving rapidly towards this side.

At this moment, except Minan Linhua, everyone couldn't help roaring loudly in their hearts: "Don't shout so loudly! You have brought so many ghosts here!"

In the blink of an eye, the grass was throbbing, and ogres came out of the weeds one after another.One, two, three... When they all left the grass, everyone realized that there were seven ghosts following them!

The seven cannibals were both afraid of the humans fighting in groups in front of them, and also wary of the same kind around them. They stopped without exception after getting out of the grass, and only looked around with cold pupils.

"Hey, don't hide behind us, fight together!" Shima Minadutsu turned back and shouted, but his voice stopped suddenly——I saw a man in a bright yellow haori with short golden-orange mushroom hair The young man was already lying on the ground, and he was only a short distance away from fainting.

Just then, one of the ghosts spoke.

"There are seven people on the opposite side, and we have seven ghosts in total." His voice was hoarse, as if there were sharp stones wrapped in his vocal cords, "It's better for each of us to eat one, so as to save us from arguing and let the group The little devil with thin skin and tender flesh has found his chance."

After a few seconds, another ghost agreed: "I agree."

Yougui nodded: "This is a good method."

"I think so too."

"But... who will eat whom?"

After the words fell, the seven ghosts first fell into deep thought, then woke up suddenly: "Who said that just now?"

The ogres looked at each other: "It's not me." "It's not me." "I didn't say anything."...

After a few seconds, they realized that seven pairs of eyes looked at Minan Rinhua standing in the front at the same time.She nodded calmly, "I said so."

[System prompt: Ghost A's palpitation value is 400]

[System prompt: Ghost B's palpitation value is 400]

【system hint:……】

When Minan Rinka heard the system broadcast, she was a little disappointed: How is this different from the value of that ghost Wu Tsuji?

The ogres showed fierce faces, and were about to attack, only to hear Minan Rinhua speak again.

"Before you do anything, I have one thing to remind you." She said, turning around and raising her hand, her fingertips swept over everyone behind her, "Among all the people here, one of them just drank wisteria flower tea."

The ghosts were taken aback.Someone drank wisteria flower tea, which meant that the person's flesh could not be eaten.If you eat the meat of a person whose body contains wisteria, the ghost will die.

One of the ghosts couldn't help asking, "Which one?"

Minan Linhua wondered, "You don't think I'll tell you the truth, do you?"

[System prompt: Ghost A's palpitation value is 500]

[System prompt: Ghost B...]

Suddenly, Minan Rinhua spoke again: "So it's the same question as before: who will eat whom?"

The silence lasted for a long time.Silence is the vine attacking the mountain tonight.

The friends were all stunned—they had never heard such a show operation from their trainers before!

Suddenly, one of the ghosts had an idea.He pointed at the trembling blond boy at the end of the crowd: "We have been chasing that man all the way here just now, and we didn't see him drinking wisteria tea. He must be harmless!"

His idea was immediately echoed by all the ghosts, and their big eyes were full of excitement and joy to win back from these damned humans: "That's right, he must not be poisonous, just eat him!"

The blond boy screamed, raised his hand and covered his head with his feathered sleeves, like a quail that pretended not to be beckoning.And at this moment, Minan Rinka took a deep breath.

All the ghosts froze: what the hell is she going to say?

[System prompt: Ghost A's palpitation value is 600]

[System prompt: Ghost B...]

Minan Rinhua hadn't opened her mouth yet, just by inhaling, she received the palpitation value of a group of ghosts.But even so, she still spoke the words she had prepared.

"So here comes the problem again." She nodded and said, "Which one of you will eat him?"

During the intensive broadcast of heart palpitations, Minan Rinhua pointed at the blind ghost who broke through Huadian again: "You too, since you found the breakthrough, why didn't you know that you were hiding it? If you were as quiet as a chicken just now If you don’t speak, there won’t be a situation where all the ghosts will compete with you for the same person. Think about it, what chance do you still have of being able to eat him?”

[System prompt: The palpitation value of blind ghosts is 999]

After a stalemate for a while, a ghost finally shouted: "It doesn't matter, let's kill them all first! We will find a way to decide who eats whom later!"

Faced with a lot of fresh human flesh, the endurance of the ghost who was trapped in the rattan mountain and starved for a long time has already reached its limit.As soon as the ghost's voice fell, the rest of the ghosts immediately echoed and rushed forward one after another!And at this moment, Minan Linhua bent down slightly, and firmly held the hilt of Minghu's sword at her waist with her palm!

The moment Minghu came out of the sheath, Minan Linhua yelled: "Look at me, seal your breath! The first move! Block your nostrils!"
