392. Son of Sunlight(1/2)
Yoya Shikiya's words made Xuan Hao suddenly realize that he seemed to be getting something wrong.
Maybe he shouldn't always think about what he should do to be the best, but should ask what Nezuko himself thinks.
If you think about it carefully, Nezuko and Erie are different.
Erie was born with flaws in thinking and needs someone to guide her; while Nezuko was different. She was a kind and sensible child since she was a child and should have her own opinions. Because Nezuko has been silent since she became a ghost, which made Xuan Hao inadvertently ignore this point.
Yeoya Shikiya is right, the future of mankind has never been decided by others.
Regarding Nezuko's future, he may be able to help, but it is Nezuko himself who ultimately decides where to go in the future.
After Sayashiki finished everything, she came down to the door with Xuan Hao.
"Is this...a hint in my heart?"
Xuan Hao asked Yuya Shikiya, who was still smiling softly around him, with some uncertainty.
He had seen many such hypnosis-like methods in Kassel Academy, but almost everyone in Kassel Academy uses Speech as a supplement to achieve the desired effect.
But the head of the Sayashiki family in front of him did not have the same method as Yan Ling. Xuan Hao was sure that he was just an ordinary person. If he insisted on saying that there was something special, he should only have excellent leadership, insight and affinity.
"It's not just an hinting... it's more appropriate to use 'guidance'?"
Yoya Shikiya explained with a smile, "I just want to remind the child what to do. Although I don't know how much effect it can have, it should still be helpful, right?"
"Yeah, thank you."
Xuan Hao sincerely thanked Shikiya Shikiya.
He didn't know whether such "guidance" would work for Nezuko, but it did remind him of his cognitive errors.
"Sir, I'm so serious."
Shizuya Shikiya was a little flattered, "I just do things within my ability. After all, my weak body doesn't have much to do. It would be great if I could help."
"So I do have something to do if I need your help."
Xuan Hao suddenly remembered that there was a question about Jose that might need the help of Saya Shikiya.
"Oh?" Shizuya Shikiya was a little confused. "Sir, please tell me clearly that if I can help, I will do my best."
"Do you know a ghost named Zhushi?" Xuan Hao asked.
"Zhu Shi?"
Shikiya Shikiya was stunned for a moment and quickly returned to peace. It was indeed such a special ghost.
"I know, in the records of our clan, we have been having secret communication with Miss Zhushi hundreds of years ago, but since you fell asleep, Mr. Xuanhao, we have rarely contacted her."
"Then do you know where she is now?" Xuan Hao asked again.
Yoya Shikiya shook his head slowly, "I don't know, but... if the gentleman wants to find her, I can help."
“Can you find it?”
"It cannot be guaranteed, but it should be possible." Sayashiki replied seriously.
When Xuan Hao heard this, he suddenly frowned, "It's the same thing to look for a ghost. After hearing what you said, it seems easier to find Zhu Shi than to find Wusan?"
"About this question..." Saya Shikiya sighed, "This is also a problem that bothers me. No matter how much Miss Zhushi hides, she will reveal clues, but Wusan seems to have disappeared out of thin air. He seemed to have used some means to erase his own traces..."
"But as long as it is a living creature, it is impossible not to leave traces in this world unless it is completely inactive."
Xuan Hao thought for a while and retorted, "If you really just use some means to erase your own traces, it is impossible not to leave any flaws after a long time."
"But what if he had evolved to be able to fully integrate into the human community?"
The expression on Sayashiki's face became a little gloomy, "I can't think of any way to prevent a ghost from leaving any trace of existence, but it would be different if it was integrated into humans... Wusan is a special existence. Perhaps other ghosts will not be able to print their bloodthirsty impulse when facing humans, but he is different, so he is fully capable of mixing into the crowd and living like an ordinary person."
"Then his life is really leisurely..."
After hearing Yoya Shikiya's judgment, Xuan Hao's face also became a little gloomy.
As the saying goes, "The Greatest Man is hidden in the city, but this is usually used for the world's great masters. As for Muzan Kimuzan? Is he worthy? In short, no one would believe that this guy has washed his hands and stopped eating people anymore, just want to live the life of an ordinary person, right?
For thousands of years, countless people have been trying hard to find Muzan Kimuzan to pay the price of his life for this, but the master easily disguised as a human being and lived a leisurely and comfortable life. Just thinking about it can make the swordsmen of the Demon Slayers full of blood pressure.
"So we are always thinking about eliminating this guy..." A dangerous smile appeared on Yoshiya Saya's face.
"Don't worry, I think so too." Xuan Hao nodded in agreement.
"That's great."
Saya Shikiya smiled and said goodbye to the man in front of him.
"If there is nothing else, I will say goodbye first. I will do what Mr. Xuanhao told me. If there is any news about Miss Zhushi, I will notify you immediately through the Yazhi."
"Yes." Xuan Hao nodded slightly, not trying to keep him.
"So farewell, please continue to pay attention to the children of the Demon Slayer Team in the future."
Slowly pushing open the wooden door, Yoyakiya smiled and turned around and left.
As he walked out of the room door, Saya Shikiki Tenin and Yin, who were waiting outside, looked at him in shock.
"Husband, you..."
Sayashiki Tenyin came forward to support her with some hesitation.
"Thanks to my husband's help, my body has been able to last for a while."
Saya Shikiya smiled and patted his wife holding her hand, "Let's go, I still have a lot to do after I go back. Maybe this time I can really see the day of my dreams coming with my own eyes."
After this visit, Yoya Shikiya believed in the prophecies of his ancestors more and more.
This incredible force that could even help him extend his life span made him more convinced that this man would definitely change the pattern of the world.
"Musa Kimuzan... Your doomsday will come soon."
The turbid eyes of Shiya Shikiya narrowed slightly, and the feeling of hatred was undoubtedly revealed in him.
······
daytime.
On the village path leading to the Nawu Mountain, a childish boy stood on a wooden stick and walked towards the distant mountains with difficulty.
Looking at the bruised young man, passers-by around him couldn't help but look puzzled.
"Mom, what's wrong with this brother?" the child on the roadside asked, pulling his mother's sleeve.
"Shh..."
The mother covered the child's mouth anxiously, "Worry, don't worry about this kind of thing."
She frowned and looked at the boy's outfit, her body was dirty and bandages were tied to her forehead. She must have been injured when she was walking.
The most important thing is... the boy was wearing a knife around his waist!
There is no war in this era. It is not normal for a teenager with a knife to be injured like this. It is better not to provoke him.
The mother held the child's hand and retreated as if she had met a plague god.
Tanjiro stood on the wooden stick tiredly and moved towards the direction of Nagiri Mountain.
He didn't care about the gaze around him, because at this moment he just wanted to return to the teacher and Nezuko as soon as possible.
After this "final selection", Tanjiro deeply realized that he was still too simple.
With his strength, he wouldn't have been hurt.
At first, he even thought about whether he could find out the methods of turning from ghosts back to humans or the information about Muzan Kimuzan from these ghosts.
But in the entire final selection, the ghosts were like crazy and could not communicate at all. When they saw him one by one, they rushed over to bite him like they saw a big chicken leg.
Later, I heard from the swordsmen who also participated in the final selection that they realized that the ghosts here were probably all ghosts who had been hungry for a long time, and they did not exist at all!
The final selection of seven days and seven nights made him deeply feel how cruel the battlefield between humans and ghosts is. If he is not careful, he will lose his life.
He couldn't bear to watch others die in front of him, so he couldn't help but be a little reluctant.
In order to protect those weak swordsmen, this was his first time in real fighting with ghosts, he was a little uncomfortable, but he was accidentally injured in the end.
"You have to rush back before dark..."
Tanjiro took difficult steps.
After a seven-day and seven-night trial, the extremely strong sense of fatigue began to sweep away from the tight situation.
Now if there is any accident at night, he may not be able to deal with it.
But looking at the sky that was getting darker, even if he wanted to speed up his pace, the pain on his body completely made him feel extremely heavy.
This made Tanjiro even missed the time when he was training with the teacher. Although he was seriously injured every day, at least when he woke up the next day, all the pain would disappear without a trace.
Now he finally realized what kind of existence the teacher was, and that incredible powerful force was like a miracle.
"I really want to go back and see Nezuko as soon as possible... I really want to wake up and the pain disappeared the next day..."
With such obsession, Tanjiro finally saw the small wooden house that he was familiar with before dark.
"Ba"
Before Tanjiro could run to the front of the house excitedly, the door of the wooden house was kicked away with a bang.
