A record of employees smashing walls in the underworld

"The children just inhaled some miasma. Just now I have given them some internal medicine that can detoxify. I think they will recover completely after a few days of cultivation."

Two hours later, sitting in front of the steps of the main hall of the shrine, seeing the drug seller telling several villagers who had lost their children and came to the shrine to look for them, Ah Wu heaved a long sigh.

In the end, Fengshen Yimulian exhausted his remaining divine power in order to save the dying Ikeda Otoyo.Then, in the surprised and sad calls of all the believers, he smiled at the people in the shrine and disappeared before everyone's eyes.

Not only saw the gods manifesting with their own eyes, but also were rescued by the gods when the monsters were raging. Naturally, the Tanabe family is grateful to the shrine.In the end, the old man followed his instructions and took Ikeda Otoyo, who had completely healed the wound and was still unconscious, back to the village for recuperation.

But before leaving, the old man asked Ah Wu a question with a heavy expression.

"Has Master Yimulian really disappeared?"

"He just consumed too much energy and needs to take a break." Ah Wu answered the old man in this way. "That adult was originally a god born of human belief. As long as people still believe in his existence, he will not disappear." The girl raised her head, and the cherry trees in the courtyard rustled with the wind. "It's just that... the temporary rest of the gods is relatively long for human beings after all."

"If Ms. Ikeda wakes up and asks...just tell her that Ichimoren-sama has already gone to the other world." She raised the corners of her mouth and looked around the empty shrine.Even if the god is gone, the remaining people are still working hard to help the wounded who survived the catastrophe. "Otherwise, I'm afraid Miss Ikeda will think too much."

"...The old man understands, the old man understands."

The old man finally accepted her statement.

But in fact, Ah Wu didn't tell him everything.

Yimulian did fall into a deep sleep temporarily because of his overdrawn strength.However, even if awakened from hibernation, he will no longer be a god.

Even if the power of the gods is shown in front of humans, even if there are simple and kind villagers like the old man Tanabe who believe in the existence of the wind god, it is not easy to save a human being who has already stepped into the gate of hell.

Perhaps the gods of Gaotianyuan will continue a person's life because of their compassion and kindness, but this is a violation of the law of life and death after all.

The moment he decided to forcibly intervene to change Ikeda Otoyo's established destiny, Yimulian was no longer a "god".

Back then, in order to save the village, he forcibly retreated from the flood and lost one eye.

Now, in order to save the woman who loves God, he exhausted all his powers, consciously accepted the price of cause and effect, and turned into a monster.

But if Ikeda Otoyo, who survived the catastrophe, knew this fact, it would be too cruel.Judging from her sensitive and thoughtful personality, if she becomes the trigger for the formation of monsters again, the loss outweighs the gain.

That's why Ah Wu asked him at that time, "Do you need me to help you keep a secret?"

She would keep it a secret from those people for him, especially Ikeda Otoha.

"……Ugh……"

Thinking of this, Ah Wu kicked his legs unhappily.He squinted at the ghost lamp not far away who was talking to the members of the ghost killing team and helping the villagers come to identify people and seek medical treatment.

"Although I have applied topical medicine to Miss A Wu with detoxification effect, it's better for you not to move around casually."

A leisurely voice sounded beside Ah Wu, she raised her head and saw the drug seller coming out of the main hall of the shrine.

"After all...you don't like the wound being opened or being scolded, right?"

It was fine if he didn't say anything, but when he said it, Ah Wu pouted again.

In fact, it's not a big deal, but after Yimulian disappeared, the girl carried Ikeda Otoha, who was gradually recovering, into the temple to recuperate, but as soon as she came out on her hind legs, she saw everyone looking at her with concern.

As soon as I lowered my head, yes, the wound on my foot started to bleed again at some point.

Frankly speaking, Ah Wu didn't feel it at all, really, she didn't feel any pain at all, but the blood had already penetrated the bandage and started to flow down her calf.From the moment she hugged Yiye, to entering the shrine, and then walking out, the blood didn't stop.

Then she saw the long-lost murderous sight of her childhood sweetheart.

The girl swears that the man looked at her as if he was looking at a king who was about to die, the kind who wanted to kill him quickly.

Ah Wu was scared at once.

Just now, by accident, Shuidong led to that little spider spirit and the escaped dead man. If she caused trouble again this time, the other party might really lose his temper.

Moreover, the scariest thing about Ghost Lantern is not that he doesn't give you face and attack you in front of everyone, but the scariest thing about him is watching people order food!If it is the kind of face-saving employee who needs to be reprimanded, or a group meeting is held, he will start the mode of mercilessly and publicly poisonous tongue.

But if the other party is like Ah Wu and Da Wang, who are not afraid of losing face, and forget the pain when the scar is healed.He will start revenge afterwards (

? ) mode, the person who made the mistake must realize his own problem. The most frightening thing is that you don't know when he will suddenly attack.

Fortunately, the medicine seller checked her injuries in time and provided medicines that could alleviate the toxicity, so Ah Wu felt that she had escaped a catastrophe.

However, she was also downgraded from a hero who subdued demons to one of the standby wounded. She could only sit on the steps of the shrine to rest. By the way, the deceased named Xing had been brought to the main hall by Gulonghuo, Muling and others The other end of the rope was tied to the post by Ah Wu.

Because the tree spirits of Gulonghuo and Sakura are not human beings, and Yimulian has fallen into a deep sleep, the only one who knows them, Ikeda Otoyo, is also taken down the mountain, so naturally he hides his body again and stays quietly in the The shrine watched the villagers coming and going, while preventing the bad dead from escaping. .

"It's okay, the main reason is that I'm afraid that someone will settle accounts afterwards. Really, it's obviously the monster I defeated!"

After saying this, the girl glared at the man beside him when she heard the man's uncontrollable laughter.However, after staring at her, she thought of the scene where the young man was holding the demon sword.

"...You came here from the beginning because of Ms. Ikeda?"

The medicine seller was silent for a while, "After all, the sword of exorcising demons is only used to kill monsters." His words were as calm as ever, "But the monsters have not yet formed, so I naturally don't have full confidence."

Speaking of this, the handsome man lowered his eyes, and the paint on his lips was like a slightly upturned mouth: "I just didn't expect to see such an...interesting story."

Ah Wu tilted her head, "You don't like it?"

Recalling the cat transformation incident last time, and the spider monster this time.She could tell that this man with the sword of exorcising demons, his past experience and personal identity were full of mysteries, was like a spectator.

Although it is his duty to find out the "shape, reason, and truth" of the monster and kill the monster, most of the time, the medicine seller himself will not directly intervene in the incident.

"It's not that I don't like it." A breeze blew, and the man's hair hanging on the side of his face moved with the wind. "After all, it's the first time I've seen a strong woman like Ms. Ikeda."

Ah Wu pursed her lips and rested her chin on her knee.

Not to mention the drug seller, this is the first time I've even seen her.

"Actually, she chatted with me for a while last night."

The figure of the woman standing by the pond with her head slightly lowered came to mind in the girl's mind.

"She said that she had been rescued twice by Yimulian, once when she was a child, and once when she discovered the secret of the spider."

But Ikeda Otsuba felt pain about being alive.

Ah Wu: "She should have noticed it, if this continues, that feeling may hurt important people."

"...who knows?" The young man gave the girl an ambiguous answer, "After all, the human heart is a very complicated thing."

When he said this, his tone was different from before, with a sense of indifference and irony.

The girl raised her head and looked at the young man beside her who didn't know what she was thinking.

Hmm... Judging from her tone, from her intuition, she probably suffered from this kind of thing before?Or it's because I've seen too many weird things and people.

But Ah Wu felt that it was the same in every world, and it wasn't just human beings.

Otherwise, why would she stay in hell incognito now? It's not because she was afraid of causing trouble to her brother when she went back, and if she was exposed, maybe hell would be implicated.

"It's not just people's hearts." Thinking of this, the girl buried her head in her knees and said sullenly. "The six realms of all beings are originally inseparable from the seven emotions and six desires. Since they cannot be separated, it will naturally be much more complicated."

A man's faint, smiling voice came from his ear. "That's true, but Miss Ah Wu sees it clearly."

No, it's just that I live longer and see more, plus unlucky, and I was reincarnated into a strange family, so I have such feelings.

However, before she could say these words, Ah Wu felt something flying towards her with a strong wind. She subconsciously stretched out her hand to grab it, but was confused by the bumpy, soft touch. I froze for a moment.

The girl raised her face buried in her knees and looked at the "unidentified object" in her hand.

... Dried persimmons?

Who, at this juncture, threw something at me?And why is it dried persimmons? !

She subconsciously looked at the people in the shrine, but met the eyes of her childhood sweetheart.

"……what are you doing?"

Within three seconds, Ah Wu was convinced that the person who threw this thing at him was definitely a ghost lamp.

"Miss A Wu is a wounded person, she needs to sit there and rest."

The young man probably took time out of his negotiations with the villagers and the ghost killer team, and turned around to see her chatting with the drug seller, so he made a move.

"Don't disturb other people's work, I'll give you a dried persimmon for you to eat first."

...wait for me! ! ! ! !Who do you treat as a three-year-old child? ! ! !And didn't someone mock her for being old before? !

Ah Wu was about to lose her temper, but someone threw food at her, turned around and started working again.

During the period, the girl also saw Yoshiyuki Tomioka, Purgatory, and Immortal Chuan cast doubtful glances at her from time to time.

"……………………"

Ah Wu stopped talking, silently took the dried persimmon in his hand as someone and began to bite.

Forget it, more words and more mistakes, it is not too late for a gentleman (??) to take revenge for ten years.

"... Cough, then I will continue to treat other people."

At the same time, the drug seller beside her also cleared his throat and walked straight down the stairs.

Although the children were out of danger, there were still wounded and unconscious villagers being sent to the shrine one after another.

"……Oh!"

Hearing the hidden smile in the man's words, Ah Wu snorted from his nose, and turned his head angrily not to look at the group of people below.

She always felt that she was being treated as a mascot, hey, I'm so angry, I don't want to deal with these two thousand-year-old monsters for the time being!

But it didn't take long for her to be alone, and after a while, Tomioka Yoshiyuki came to accompany her.

That's right, Tomioka Yoshiyuki was called by fellow teammate Purgatory Kyojuro to accompany her.

Although Ah Wu thinks that it is probably because he is afraid that Tomioka Yoshiyuki's death speech skills will offend Immortal Chuan, or he is afraid that there will be some obstacles in the communication between the villagers and him.In addition, all the children rescued by Tomioka had returned to their parents, so he asked this person to come and sit on the bench with her.

Hey, okay, anyway, she doesn't hate Yoshiyuki Tomioka, after all, although the child talks little and is a bit dull, he is very nice and cute.

"...it's fine."

This was the first sentence Tomioka Yoshiyuki said after he came to her side and sat down.

When he and the comatose children were taken away from the lake by Yimulian, they saw the spider banshee waking up from the lake in the distance.

But the monster is really big, one foot is thick enough to stand an adult male, and the upper body stands taller than the two-story house by the lake. It's not normal for him not to see it.

Later, Yimulian led them to land near the village. Tomioka felt that the other party seemed a little weak, so he asked Fengshen to go back, and he protected the children in place until the incident completely subsided.

Fortunately, because it was near the village, it didn't take long for him to pass through the crow and meet Yan Zhu who was also near the village.

Hearing that Ah Wu glanced at the Purgatory Xingshourou who sent the villagers away not far away... It really worked hard for him.I have to say that Purgatory's carefree, smiling character anytime and anywhere, seems easier to get along with than the taciturn and expressionless Tomioka, and the fierce-looking Undead Chuan who speaks bluntly.

"Thank you for your hard work..." Ah Wu rubbed her temples, "This matter has nothing to do with ghosts. It was not the responsibility of the Ghost Killing Squad, but it ended up involving you... Sigh..."

Tomioka: "Although it has nothing to do with ghosts, the point of protecting ordinary people is the same. And the third winding did appear."

"Really...?" The girl dragged her voice, looking at the young man's expressionless face, "But in my opinion, you are also ordinary people who need protection, little brother~"

When she said this, her tone rose slightly, with a hint of joking in it.As soon as the words fell, the young man in front of him frowned, showing a surprised expression.

Why do you feel a bit terrified even after being taken aback?

Ah Wu: "...Have you forgotten that I am actually much older than you?"

Tomioka: "......... I'm very sorry."

Well, he probably really didn't realize it.

But since the other party has already mentioned the matter of the third episode, she should check the news with him a little bit.After all, there was chaos at the time, and it was not known whether the Demon Slayer Team had received the news of the death of Kamizu-san.

"By the way, actually Koma... the third of the first string." As the words came to her lips, Ah Wu remembered that Tomioka didn't know Komaji, but she didn't want to be called Yiwoza, so she simply called him in general. "When the house collapsed, it was already dead. I guess you probably...didn't see it?"

The young man showed a surprised expression: "Dead? Are you sure? But..."

"He was not fatally injured, his movements were not restricted, and his head was not chopped off. Why did he die?" A Wu looked at Yoshiyuki Tomioka who was frowning, and smiled. "Do you want to ask this?"

"……Um."

The girl turned her head and looked up at the lush trees around the shrine and the blue sky.

"That person just... found something important that he had lost and thought about it."

"Because he has already found the answer, he doesn't have any obsessions to stay in this world."

"Impossible!" However, A Wu's words were refuted by Tomioka. "Are you going to say that the third one committed suicide?" The young man's tone rarely became a little fierce, and it could even be said to be disgusting. "Ghosts are cunning creatures, driven by instinct to do evil. If they become weak or hungry, they will devour even blood relatives...!"

Even if it is Jiuzhu, the ghost who suppressed instinct with self-will, they have only seen one.

"But he didn't hurt the girl, did he?"

Facing Ah Wu's rhetorical question, Tomioka fell silent.

They all saw that when the crumbling mansion collapsed, not only did the first string not hurt the girl, but even subconsciously wanted to protect her.

Ah Wu wrapped his arms around his knees, and said softly: "I saw it, the moment the sun came down, he didn't hide."

She saw that Yiwozuo became scorched black under the scorching sun, and gradually turned into ashes from the head.But at the same time, the soul of the black-haired boy who is Komaji hugs his lover tightly under the dazzling sunlight.

"That girl...isn't human?"

Ah Wu heard the young man talking from the side.

Maybe it was because of the incident of turning into a cat. Knowing that there are still such things as evil spirits in this world, Tomioka's brain circuit turned quite quickly this time.

"Yeah." Ah Wu put his face on his knees, and looked sideways at the young swordsman sitting beside him. "In short, no matter who she is, no matter whether he committed suicide or not, the third part of the first string no longer exists. This is good news for you, isn't it?"

The girl laughed: "Report the good news to your lord, he will be very happy."

As for the reason why Oni Wu Tsuji sent Mizuno to come here, Ah Wu thought about it and decided not to tell Tomioka.

...How should I put it, because it is really a bit funny, and she is afraid that she will not believe it after these few pillars.

After all, it's a bit ridiculous to lift a rock and shoot yourself in the foot when it comes to the big boss who has been fighting their ghost killing team for nearly a thousand years.

The author has something to say: Although it's ridiculous, but cowardly...you can really do it

Damn, a very confusing thing happened, I obviously finished the update last night, but when I checked it out today, I found that it hadn’t been replaced...

By the way, I would like to ask for a leave here. The reason for the leave is the same as the leave note. I need to check out and clear my luggage to return home. It is very troublesome to go through the formalities and deal with the furniture.

Alas...the house I lived in for four years...the mail has not been delivered yet, and I don't know when I can mail the luggage back after returning to China...I have a big head

Finally, after returning to China, there will definitely be two weeks of quarantine. At that time, no matter whether there is a manuscript or not, it will start to update diligently, including the pit next door cough cough cough

Anyway, that's it, see you on the 20th!
