Chapter 142: Ghosts from the Past
"Wow... what a great guest."
Outside the house, Yunyi looked at the old man who was stunned when he saw him after opening the door. After bowing slightly to him and greeting him, he asked the old man softly.
"Old man, have you ever seen a man carrying a strange sword?"
Hearing the other party's question, the old man's pupils subconsciously shrank, and then quickly returned to normal, but it was still seen by Yuanyi. The old man also knew that he could not escape Yuanyi's investigation, so he simply admitted it directly.
"I have seen it, what's wrong?"
Seeing that the old man admitted it, Yunyi asked him again in a low voice.
"Please tell me where he is now."
"Um……"
Pretending to be in deep thought and murmured for a moment, the old man raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the lakeshore, and spoke to Yuanyi with a sincere look.
"I saw him there before."
Yunyi looked at the old man in surprise, because the old man did not lie.
He bowed to the old man again to thank him, turned around, his face calm, stepped on the ground, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, rushing straight to the lakeshore.
"call……"
The old man who was standing there and pretending to be calm suddenly relaxed after seeing Yuan Yi leave. He closed the door and walked into the house while muttering to himself.
"Should I inform them... Forget it... If I tell them, Hirata will definitely come back to fight to the death with Yoshiichi. This place of mine can't stand their torment..."
Standing on the lakeshore, looking at the ashes-covered lakeshore, the lake whose water level had dropped significantly, and the foot of the mountain in the distance that had been burned to ashes, I could feel a wave of heat coming towards me just by looking at it.
But when he looked around, he didn't see a single figure. Knowing that he had been tricked by the old man, Yunyi didn't get angry, nor did he return to the mansion to cause trouble for the old man.
But suddenly I felt a little confused. I couldn't find any trace of the wolves, and Muzan was hiding in the dark. Now if I wanted to find them, I could only let nature take its course.
But before that, a ghost from the distant past, in this era of great changes, even the houses and buildings have disappeared, and some have become buildings that are completely unrecognizable. Where should he go now...
At this moment, the cold autumn and winter wind blew up the earrings hanging on Yuanyi's ears, gently patting his cheeks, making his confused eyes light up, and a place that would never change appeared in his mind.
Let’s go visit…Tanji’s descendants.
As this thought arose in his mind, Yunyi's eyes became calm again. He looked into the distance, raised his legs and slowly walked towards there.
………………
Not long ago, at the moment when Yoshiichirō was resurrected, not only Wolf felt Yoshiichirō's resurrection, but also another person, no, a ghost felt a strong sense of crisis.
It was none other than Muzan Kibutsuji, who was disguised as a man named Tsukihiko, and was pretending to accompany his wife back to her parents' home at the Pharmacology House for a visit. In fact, he was taking this opportunity to browse through the library at her parents' home in search of information on the Blue Spider Lily!
"Damn it... still no..."
With a ferocious look on his face, even though Wuzan searched the entire library, he could not find any written records about the blue spider lily, and no news came for several ghost months.
But just as Muzan was burning with rage, the wound on his body that had existed for hundreds of years felt as if someone had cut it again, causing severe pain and burning sensation.
"Well!"
With a cry of pain, cold sweat instantly broke out on Muzan's head. He felt that this was different from the fear and dread that the Undying Slash and Shura's Fire had brought him before.
This burning sensation and pain were exactly the same as the one that had left this wound on me hundreds of years ago. In other words... that man was back...
His teeth chattered slightly, and Wuzan hugged his body tightly and curled up on the ground like a child. He roared with pale lips and a trembling voice.
"Ming...Mingnu!"
Qiang~
Following a burst of pipa sound, Wuzan's curled up figure disappeared from the spot. When he appeared again, he was already in the intricate Infinite City. His trembling pupils gradually calmed down after seeing the chaos in the Infinite City.
He released the arms that were hugging himself and slowly stood up, but even in this Infinite Castle that was built specifically to avoid Yoriichi, Muzan's body was already shaking.
Looking at Mingnu who lowered her head and dared not look at him, a sense of dominance surged in his heart again. His pupils shrank, veins on his face bulged, and he yelled at Mingnu.
"Call Kokushibo over here!"
Kneeling on the ground, Mingnu's body trembled, and the sound of a pipa rang out, but there was no sign of Kokushibo in the Infinite Castle, and Muzan's anger reached its peak at this moment.
"I knew it... these two damn brothers!!"
Countless bone whips burst out from his body, slashing around indiscriminately as if to vent his anger, chopping everything around him into pieces.
“Haha…haha…”
It was not until half an hour later that the bone whip that was venting its anger stopped, revealing Wuzan who was gasping for breath due to anger.
bass!
Retracting the bone whip, Muzan looked at Mingnu, whose limbs were cut off due to the frantic swinging not far away, and slowly walked forward to reconnect the opponent's limbs like playing with building blocks.
"Thank you, Master Muzan..."
After her limbs were reattached, Mingnu said a word of thanks and was about to kneel down again, but Muzan took a step ahead and pinched her chin, making her look up at him, and with his other hand he pushed aside Mingnu's thick bangs.
Revealing his huge single eye, Muzan slowly spoke under Mingnu's shocked and frightened gaze.
"I originally wanted to give you blood to strengthen your blood demon arts after some time when the Lower Moons were causing trouble, but now I have to move this plan forward."
"I need your blood demon art. Find me the blue spider lily as soon as possible... Do you understand?"
Seeing that Muzan's fingers on her forehead were becoming more and more ferocious, Mingnu quickly agreed in a low voice.
"Yes... Lord Muzan."
Muzan's scarlet pupils shrank, and his fingers suddenly inserted into Mingnu's forehead, and a large amount of blood poured into Mingnu's body!
Mingnu's wails could be heard in his ears, but Wuzan's blood transfusion speed did not slow down at all, while he was planning his next actions in his mind.
He had an idea that although he did not have the ability to overcome the sunlight, perhaps among the ghosts he turned into, there would be an evil ghost who could overcome the sunlight, and if he devoured him, he would no longer be afraid of the sunlight.
Next... Mingnu and Kizuki will look for the blue spider lily, and I will create evil spirits that can overcome the sunlight. This way, the efficiency will be greatly improved.
However... the process of creating evil spirits will inevitably result in a large number of deaths... which will attract the investigation of the Demon Slayer Corps...
In this case…
Let's go find those people who live in the mountains...
