396. The truth of repelling the winding(1/2)
All the posts of the Demon Slayer Team watched in surprise as Saya Shikiya slowly walked to them and sat down.
They all know the physical condition of the lord. Because of the "curse", Yoya Shikiya's physical condition should only get worse and worse.
The last time they saw Yoshiya Saya, he was so weak that he could not walk by himself, and someone had to help him.
But now after many days, Yuya Shikiya's physical condition has improved? He can even walk independently!?
In this regard, the pillars looked at each other and could see that the lord's physical condition improved. Each pillar was sincerely happy. But while they were happy, they also felt a little curious.
What happened? Although I was not sure about the specific situation, seeing the lord's body miraculously improve and combined with the Butterfly Ninja's words just now, the pillars guessed that the lord was anxious to call them to convene a meeting this time. There must be something important to explain.
"No one is absent, right? My children."
Shizuya Shikiya faced the posts of the Demon Slayer Team, with a gentle tone and a faint smile on her face, and she seemed to be in a good mood.
“No one is absent.”
All the priests knelt on one knee and saluted respectfully at him.
"We will feel at ease when we see the lord's health."
"Well, my physical condition has indeed improved a little, and this is also related to what I want to explain to you today."
Saya Shikiya smiled and signaled everyone to get up, then continued, "Then let's start the formal meeting."
"There are two main things to be explained in this meeting. In fact, both of these things are related to one person."
As he said that, he raised his head and looked behind the pillars.
The stumps were a little confused and turned their heads with Yoyaki Yoshiya's silk thread.
In the afternoon, the sun gently crossed the courtyard wall and shone into the courtyard and hit the old trees in the courtyard. There was a figure standing under the shade of the tree at some point.
Seeing this, the eyes of the primordials, except Butterfly Ninja and Tomooka Yoshioka became a little confused.
Because they had seen this dressed man, the iconic Tengu mask told them that this was Rukiki Shuizhu, the former Demon Slayer, who was the former Mizuru Ryuki, but they were a little puzzled. Is this ex Mizuru so strong? He could actually come behind them without their awareness!
Everyone's puzzled eyes couldn't help but focus on the current Mizuha Tomooka Yoshioka who had something to do with it, as if they wanted to get an answer from him.
But Yoshio Tomooka, who was not good at speaking, still stood silently a few steps away from everyone, without giving an explanation. He knew that he could not explain such a complicated matter with his communication level.
"When did this person come?"
Only blind eyes had a hint of vigilance in his heart, and he turned his head and frowned in the direction of the figure.
He couldn't see the person coming, so he naturally wouldn't regard this person as Lin Taki Zuoji like others.
Although he couldn't see his eyes, he was very sensitive to the breath on everyone's body, which allowed him to clearly distinguish which of his companions around him. At the same time, as the oldest pillar in the Demon Slayer Team, he not only has the current pillars, but also has the retired pillars.
And the person who suddenly appeared...the breath was very strange and it gave him a very dangerous feeling!
The expression of wilful melancholy became serious and his brows frowned slightly.
His hearing and perception were the strongest among all pillars, but even he did not notice how and when did this man come here.
This man appeared behind everyone silently until he took the initiative to reveal his breath, and he suddenly realized that if this man had taken action just now...
"You don't have to be confused or nervous, this gentleman is not my enemy."
Saya Shikiya smiled and comforted everyone, and he raised his head and looked at the figure under the shade of the trees not far away.
"Mr. Xuanhao, thank you for being invited to attend the Zhuhe Conference."
"Xuan Hao?"
Several pillars who had just taken office were stunned when they heard this title.
Wait! Isn't this Lintaki Zuoji? They once again turned their doubtful eyes to Tomooka Yoshiyuki, who just shook his head silently.
They looked at the lord in confusion. They had never heard of the name "Xuanhao". It would be reasonable if it was the former Mizuru Lintaki Zuoji who was invited to attend the Zhuhe meeting, but who is this person?
Although they were confused, they did not ask questions immediately. Even the usually a bit irritable Fengzhu Budhi Kawamiya was quietly waiting for her lord's explanation.
After Purgatory Atsushiro attended the meeting as a non-Ghost Killing Team, everyone admired the lord's vision of looking at people. Since this person was invited by the lord, they would not have any objection.
The only one who was shocked when he heard this name was the oldest rock pillar, who was mourning in the dark.
The moment he heard the name, the expression on his face became a little dull.
As the pillar of the Demon Slayer Team, he is qualified to know the name of this person.
But it's just that he hasn't heard the name of this person for a long time. To be precise, this should be the second time he has heard this name.
The first time was shortly after he became a pillar. At that time, every pillar of the Demon Slayer Team knew that there had been a person who had been sleeping for five hundred years in the Demon Slayer Team.
Because he was blind, Wu Mingyu Xingming was not assigned to take care of this person, so he had never been exposed to it. In his impression, this was more like an incredible legend.
But this legend seems to be gradually fading, because since a few years ago, the lord no longer mentioned this legend to the newly promoted pillar. Wildering Yu Xingming believes that the current ghost killing team is strong enough, and the nine pillars gather together, and no longer need such a "spiritual belief" to support it.
But now, when Saya Shikiya Yoshiya called out the man's name, Yu Mingyu suddenly realized that it seemed that he had misunderstood.
The reason why the lord didn't mention this matter...
It’s because this legendary man woke up!
And what this man's miraculous awakening meant? He knew the legend and knew it very clearly.
“Ahhhh…”
Amid the puzzled eyes of several other pillars, the sad Mooning Yu Xingming suddenly burst into tears.
"Namo Amitabha...a miracle, this is a miracle..."
He held the rosary in his hand tightly and murmured to recite Buddhist scriptures, as if thanking the gods and Buddhas for their appearance.
"Mr. Wildering Is Shed Tears Again...What's That?"
Mili in Ganlu Temple looked at the tears of tears at the mourning Yu Xingming in confusion.
Is it because of the mysterious man wearing a Tengu mask?
She looked at the mysterious man not far away with curiosity, and always felt... so familiar?
Mili in Ganlu Temple stared blankly at the figure. For some reason, she always felt that this man's figure looked familiar.
"It seems that Xingming has already understood the situation."
Saya Shikiya smiled and looked at the swordsmen's reaction.
Except for Butterfly Ninja, Tomooka Yoshio and Wai Mingyu Xingming were aware of the situation, the remaining few people were still waiting for his explanation with confusion on their faces.
Oh no, there is another person who is in the middle of the Kasumitsu. He neither understands the current situation nor doubts.
"Why am I here for..."
Wuyiro looked at the sky with a dull look, "I think about it..."
He didn't care about anything that happened in front of him. To be precise, even if he cares, he would forget it in the next second.
"Actually, this is my fault and should not be concealed by everyone, but because it is of great importance, it is forced." A hint of apology appeared on Yoshiya Saya's face.
"Master, what's going on?" Yuxie Tianyuan frowned slightly. He was a little confused. If it was really important that all the pillars of them had to be kept secret, why would the lord suddenly expose this matter?
"About how the Butterfly Sisters defeated the second son of the Wind String before, and now when he encountered him again, how did he escape from him, I think everyone has doubts, and I think it is necessary for me to tell everyone the truth." Yoshiya Saya replied.
"..." Everyone nodded silently.
The reason why the ghost killing team can fight with ghosts has to be united internally. If it is just one time, it may be explained by coincidence, but now that such a situation occurs, everyone will inevitably have suspicion.
In order not to affect the harmony between the people, Shizuya Shikiya decided not to hide it anymore.
While everyone was silent, Xuan Hao, who was originally standing behind them, had already come to Saya Shikiya to sit down.
"you……"
Seeing the man sitting next to the lord as if nothing had happened, Muku Kawamiya opened her mouth, but was stopped by Yoya Shikiya raised hands.
"I said there are two things to explain."
After Yoya Shikiya calmed down Muku Kawamiya's emotions, he slowly said, "One is about how the Butterfly Sisters survived from the hands of the Shin-Shin Nobu, and the other is about the next action of the Demon Killing Team. Both of these things are related to Mr. Xuan Hao by my side."
The nine pillars stood quietly in the courtyard listening to Yoya Saya's explanation.
"The first thing is that Ninja and her sister Kanae were able to repel Tongma from the second son of the winding, because Mr. Xuan Hao secretly took action, and this point can be proved."
As he said that, Shikiya Shikiya signaled to the Butterfly Ninja on the side.
"Yes."
After getting the permission of his lord, Butterfly Nin no longer concealed the truth of the matter. "The night my sister met Tongmao was originally impossible to survive, and even if I felt it alone, it was meaningless. The reason why I was able to repel Tongmao was because Mr. Xuanhao borrowed my knife to help him secretly."
"Wait...What does it mean to lend your knife to help you secretly?" Mudaki Kawashiya frowned when he heard this. He couldn't understand what was going on.
"I don't know how to explain it, because it may be a bit unbelievable..." Butterfly rubbed his head with some headache, "In short, from beginning to end, Tong Mo of the second son of the second son did not even see Mr. Xuanhao's shadow. He may still think that I defeated him, so when he met again, he did not attack me vigilantly."
"this……"
Not only Mushikawa Shiya, but all the pillars except Butterfly Ninja looked at the man sitting next to the lord in disbelief.
At this moment, the man had taken off his mask. Under the mask was a young face that was not much different from them. The man took the tea handed over by Shikiya Yoya's daughter and drank it leisurely, as if the things they were discussing had nothing to do with him.
The ghost of the string, none of them are sure to deal with it alone, let alone this is the second one of the string.
According to Butterfly Ninja, this person is so fast that he can use Butterfly Ninja's hands to defeat him without the notice of the winding Nobuki. How strong is this to be able to do it? Kimuzan Muzan is just like this!
