Two months later, in the morning.

The man wearing a Tiangou mask was carrying two carp and was walking through the mountains at extremely flexible steps. The coat of flowing water and auspicious clouds on his body fluttered with the mountain breeze, making a sound of frightening sound.

His figure was like a ghost in the bamboo forest. Even the agile bobcat would roar and retract and sigh to himself.

No one would have thought that although the owner of this Tiangou Mask was extremely fast, he was already seventy years old this year.

He is the current teacher of Mizuha Tomooka Yoshiezuki and the cultivation of Mizuha's breathing, and Mizuha's Sakakiji.

He is also the oldest one among the resigned team members of the Demon Killing Team. In addition, he has served as a water pillar. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most respected senior in the Demon Killing Team.

But since Tomooka Yoshio passed the trial of the Demon Killing Team, Lin Taki has never accepted any disciples and has lived alone in the mountains and forests.

The reason why he had two carp in his hand was not to entertain guests, but to save a fisherman from a water ghost when he went out last night.

"Speaking of this, the ghosts that can still be found are becoming more and more difficult to deal with."

Lintaki Zuoji sighed in a depressing voice. Obviously, the battle last night was not simple for him, his ex-master, or else he wouldn't have been resting at someone's house for a night to replenish his energy before returning to Nagiri Mountain.

There are fewer and fewer ghosts, but the surviving ghosts are getting stronger and stronger. I don’t know whether this is a good or a bad thing. At least the strength of the ghost last night is not inferior to that of the Xiaxin who was killed by him.

With the worries in his heart, after walking through the mountains for a few minutes at a rapid speed, Ludao Zuoji finally saw the familiar stone slab staircase.

It was built by his disciples in the past, saying that the place where he lived should not be too simple.

Among them, the earliest stone slab has been cracked for thirty years, but he never considered replacing it.

"If those kids are still alive..."

Radakami Zuoji did not finish this sentence, but sighed deeply, stepped on the stone slab with a hunch, and walked towards the wooden house where he lived step by step.

But just when it was less than 30 meters away from the wooden house, Rakitaki Suoki suddenly stood still. Through the Tengu mask, he could feel his face changing drastically.

"This smell..."

Under the mask, the sound of the nose slight sucking in the air was almost undetectable.

But anyone who knows Lin Taki Zuo Jinji knows that he has an extremely sensitive sense of smell, which is not much worse than some canine animals.

"Is it a ghost?!"

After taking a look at the sunlight cast through the bamboo forest, Rakio Zuoji was a little suspicious of his conclusion. This was broad daylight.

Since you can smell the scent, it means that the ghost is alive and is not far from this place.

But the problem is...

He was very familiar with the surrounding terrain, and there was no place to hide in the daytime.

unless……

Lintaki Zuoji looked up at his destination.

Unless that ghost is hiding in his home!

"I thought I wasn't at home, so I broke in?!"

The old man muttered a few strange words, pulled out his Sun Wheel Knife and continued to step on the stairs and slowly moved forward, but there was no sound under his feet.

As the smell became more and more obvious, he knew that his guess was fine. However, there seemed to be another familiar smell mixed in the smell of ghosts, but considering that this was his home, the second smell was ignored by him.

"Isn't in the woodshed, but in the room where I entertain guests... Judging from the smell, I should be just an ordinary little devil. It seems that you are lucky..."

After quietly coming to the simple wooden door, the old man stood for a while and listened to the movement inside. A snoring sound came from the door panel. Obviously, the guy was sleeping.

If the other party is not a ghost, the voice is even a bit cute.

“…Can ghosts snore even?"

With this idea, the old man suddenly cut the wooden door in half without any warning, and his body flashed into the house with great flexibility, and pushed the Sun Wheel Knife towards the suddenly awakened one on the table.

The white cat chopped off!

Wait! This guy...

Lintaki Zuoji's blue blade hung above the cat's head, but the latter was so scared that he dared not move. His two blue eyes were filled with tears, and he wanted to scream out aggrievedly but could not make a sound.

"Is it a cat?"

The old man asked in surprise, wondering whether he was asking himself or the soft and cute uninvited guest in front of him.

Although the smell is correct, he has never seen a ghost in animal form (in the original work, the invisible cat Chachamaru that has been following Tanzhilang is also a ghost).

At this moment, something suddenly came from the inner part of the wooden house. Lin Taki immediately turned his head and looked there, ready to attack with all his strength.

The next moment, a somewhat familiar handsome face poked out from the inside, revealing a pair of deep eyes as cold as a pond.

"Royal?"

...

One minute later.

The master and apprentice sat at the table at right angles, while the cat covered in ghostly aura hid in Yiyong's arms. His two vertical pupils looked at Lin Taki Zuoji with hostility, and a threatening sound like an engine in his throat.

"Royal..."

Lindao Zuoji spoke first, and through the mask, he could feel his heart full of doubts.

"Yes, Lord Sulakamichi."

The righteousness and courage were sitting upright like a soldier named by his boss, which made the old man feel a little bitter.

"You...ah, forget it."

He has made him change his words many times, but since the death of the Rabbit, the child Yiyong has used this extraordinary method to call him, and never explained the reason, as if he wanted to draw a clear relationship with him.

But on important festivals every year, he would send gifts and sometimes ask him for ointment.

This way of getting along with each other with a sense of distance but intimateness gave Linlong a sense of powerlessness that he could not do. Of course, he hoped to see more courage, but when he saw the two, he could only get along with each other rigidly. Apart from sharing his experience in practicing breathing methods, he had almost nothing to say.

After all, there is a sad past hidden in the topic that can be discussed between the two of them.

"Tell me, what's going on with this cat..."

The old man had to talk to the righteous man as usual.

"If I judged it well, this guy is a ghost, right?"

Sensing the hostility of Rakiki Sakaki, the white cat crawled directly under Yoshiyu's Haori, revealing only one head.

"Your judgment is fine, it is indeed a ghost."

The righteous nodded seriously.

"This is a special breed that was bred with us, called Zhushi. It is said that it is an anchor for remote teleportation, and all the columns are assigned one."

Yiyong explained, "Through them, a ghost under Zhushi can know the location of all pillars at any time. If an emergency occurs, we need to go over to support or retreat, the ghost can use these cats as anchors to release the blood ghost technique and send us remotely to any similar cat."

The ghost under Zhu Shi mentioned in his mouth was naturally the girl who had been released from the confession of sin.

Her blood ghost technique is no different from the past, and she still conducts long-distance teleportation through Infinity City.

But now the ghost she used to locate is no longer the subordinates of Muzan Kibutsuji, but the ghosts under Shinichiro, and these cats are also included.

However, in the eyes of the Demon Killing Team, Naruto was just a "cooperating ghost" designed by Xian Ichiro and transformed by Zhushi. No one knows who she is really working for.

“…”

Lin Taki Zuo Jinji was stunned for a while before he understood what his disciple said.

"But in this way, wouldn't that ghost put you to death at any time?"

Yoshiyama replied: "Fengzhu and Yinzhu also have such concerns. But the lord Iwatsumaru both think that Jose can trust him, and Yeniichiro from Ashina is willing to guarantee Jose and her ghosts, so we all agreed. With this ability to move from a long distance, we can save a lot of time on the road."

For ghost killers and humans who are attacked by ghosts, time is life.

Furthermore, using Ming Nu for teleportation can also save a lot of human troubles, such as the train breaks down and delays.

"If the lord thinks so..."

Rindaki Zuoji's body relaxed a little. As he was older, he couldn't be more clear about the fact that the Sayashiki family had "special abilities".

"Then there's no problem."

Then he pointed at the cat and said, "But how do you support this cat?"

Yi Yong was silent for a second, stretched out his left index finger that broke his small mouth, "Just feed a few drops of blood, it can feed it, it eats very little."

"Also, my own cat stayed at home as a coordinate."

Yi Yong picked up the white cat and handed it to Lin Taki Zuoji regardless of the latter's struggle, "This is only assigned to you by Lord Lord."

"Give me?"

Lintaki Zuojinji did not mean to take the cat, "But I haven't received the reserve team members for three years, what are you doing for me..."

Isn't this a waste of resources?

What did the old man think?

"In addition to this cat, this letter is the main purpose of this visit. If you have any questions, Mrs. Tianyin should answer them for you..."

Yoshio Tomooka took out a letter, placed it respectfully on the table, and then pushed it towards Sritaki Sakiji.
