She couldn't do that now, because she herself was entangled in the chains of sadness. But in the distant future, these chains would be cut off.
But before that, people trapped in chains can only bury their sorrow and pain in their hearts.
A faint sob sounded in the dark bedroom. Who started crying first?
Kanae? Or Shinobu?
Neither of them knew who made the first cry.
Chapter 25 Leaving the Butterfly House
The next day the sun was bright and cloudless.
Li Mo likes this kind of weather, even though it is summer and very hot, he just likes it.
Solar energy gives people a sense of security.
It was morning and the temperature was still cool. Li Mo walked out of the room and passed through the corridor. He saw a 2.2-meter-tall man doing physical squats in the courtyard. His well-trained muscles were exposed in the air, like the sculptures of ancient Greek heroes.
"Good morning, Mr. Weimingyu."
"Good morning."
Beimingyu Xingming finished his morning exercise. Sweat could be seen flowing on his muscles, and even white steam could be seen.
His training was much better than mine. Not only was he 2.2 meters tall, but he was also able to train such muscles... Could humans really have such a body?
Perfect to the point of being impeccable.
Which boy doesn’t like a perfect body of muscles?
"Mr. Beimingyu-san, I want to join the Demon Slayer Corps." With envy and jealousy buried in his heart, Li Mo spoke.
Beimingyu Xingming asked: "Why do you want to join? What is your hatred for ghosts?"
The members of the Demon Slayer Corps all hate demons. They have a deep blood feud with demons, and their hatred becomes motivation, constantly supporting them to risk their lives and fight demons.
Most people cannot persist.
"I feel like I was born to kill ghosts." Li Mo said seriously.
Hundreds of years ago, Tsugumi Yoshiichi believed that he was born to kill Muzan Kibutsuji. Hundreds of years later, why did he, a foreigner, come here?
The first person I met in this world was Tanjuro Kamado, and from that moment on, my fate was determined.
Beimingyu Xingming said: "I understand. Then let's try it. You insist."
"How to try?"
"fight."
Let me ask you, if a 6-foot-tall, muscular guy tells you he wants to fight, how should you react?
Afraid? Fear? Li Mo had none of the above emotions. He licked his dry lips and was actually a little excited. He thought of the special training in the dream space before. Even though that event only became a picture, a symbol in his memory.
However, the body can't help but become active. The body remembers what the brain can't remember.
"it is good."
Li Mo, a little excited.
"Elimination" is one of the highest martial arts and the pinnacle of skills.
It's funny that Li Mo, who has mastered such advanced skills, has never learned even the basic martial arts. He has never been exposed to Bajiquan, Wuxingquan, Mantisquan, and other martial arts, not even karate, taekwondo, and aikido.
He is a weak person.
The mournful island travels to the underworld.
This is the pinnacle of human flesh that Li Mo has ever seen.
After being hugged and thrown out by the opponent and suffering a head-on blow, Li Mo came to the conclusion.
His body had endured a huge impact, and if most of the force had not been relieved, he would have been disabled.
"You should have mastered some technique to eliminate the impact force. But your basics are too poor. Your steps are a little weak. You have practiced, but you don't have a master to guide you. Your body is not flexible enough. When I hugged you and threw you, you were too stiff..."
The fight lasted only a short time, but the number of rounds approached three digits. In these dozens of rounds, Li Mo often launched an inappropriate attack, and then was easily knocked away by Beimingyu Xingming. This cycle repeated over and over again.
A perfect defeat. Li Mo would not deny this. "Elimination" could ensure that he would have the capital to come back, but it did not mean that he had a chance to defeat Beimingyu Xingming. His foundation was too poor.
Poor foundation means too many flaws. Even the iron bridge that the opponent easily made was difficult for him to do.
Faced with such comments, Li Mo was neither sad nor discouraged. He said: "My foundation is very poor. Mr. Beimingyu, what should I do?"
"Before I arrange anything for you, I want to ask, you know how to do breathing exercises, right?"
"Correct!"
During the fight, Li Mo used full concentration breathing to increase his physical strength. It was impossible for Beimingyu Xingming not to notice it.
He said, "Well, if it's just to lay the foundation, then any trainee can do it. If you want me to recommend one, it would be Mr. Urokodaki. He lives in Sagiriyama, which is the closest to here. He is also one of the most experienced trainees in the Demon Slayer Corps. He has a lot of experience and can fully bring out your potential."
"What do you think?"
Beimingyu Xingming asked.
He could feel the potential that Li Mo possessed.
Ordinary members of the Demon Slayer Corps are not as good as this Chinese. It is too risky for ordinary soldiers to face demons alone, so they need to work in teams. This is the lesson that the Demon Slayer Corps has learned from hundreds of years of sacrifice.
This person can kill demons without the Nichirin Sword. What if he has the Nichirin Sword?
He has the potential to become a pillar.
"Actually, my original destination was Mount Sagiri."
"Really? That's good."
Beimingyu Xingming did not ask too many questions, he didn't know why the other party wanted to go to Xiawu Mountain.
He just needed to know that this person was on the side of the Demon Slayer Corps. His hatred for demons was so obvious.
……
Li Mo successfully obtained a letter of introduction from Beimingyu Xingming. According to his own words, his name now has a certain reputation.
During the conversation, Li Mo learned that Gyoumei had just joined the Demon Slayer Corps this year. At the end of last year, he beat a demon into a pulp in a temple from night to dawn, and finally let the sun burn the demon to death.
This person was even more powerful than me, and I was using an axe, while Beimingyu Xingming used his fists.
In the first half of this year, he was bailed out of prison by the Demon Slayer Corps' lord. He joined the Demon Slayer Corps and mastered the breathing method in a short period of time. A few months later, he participated in the final selection of this year. Now, Gyoumei of Sadness Island is on the way to becoming a "pillar". The condition for becoming a "pillar" in the Demon Slayer Corps is to kill fifty demons or kill a lower-rank demon.
He has killed more than 20 ghosts. For him, killing ghosts is not difficult, but finding them is difficult.
"What a monster."
There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people.
There is no shortage of geniuses in this world. What is lacking is only people like Tsugumi Yoshiichi who can create the world.
Now that I have determined my goal, the next thing I need to do is to leave.
Two days have passed since that cruel night.
With the help of "Yin", the Butterfly sisters packed up their parents' bodies. There were already two more coffins in the main hall.
The whole village is helping the Butterfly sisters. The good deeds of the Butterfly family in the past have now been rewarded. It will not be so troublesome for them to deal with the aftermath.
When Li Mo met Butterfly Kanae, she was still smiling and greeting the villagers. Was she really not sad?
He saw a hint of sadness in the other's eyes.
"Li Sang, are you leaving?"
Butterfly Kanae, seeing Li Mo approaching her, knew what he meant.
"Yes, Kanae-san, I think it's time to leave."
"Mr. Haimeishi has gone ahead. I had originally planned to discuss with Mr. Haimeishi about joining the Demon Slayer Corps. It seems that I can only contact Mr. Haimeishi later through Invisibility." Kanae Kocho said of her plan.
I became the one being confided in.
Li Mo lowered his brows and listened to the girl's words. Butterfly Kanae chattered non-stop like a lark. The topic ranged from future plans to Xiaonin's situation in the past two days... everything was said.
"By the way, Xiaonin said that if you leave, she will say 'goodbye' to you."
"Will she not come to see me in person?"
"You'll tease her, won't you?"
"Of course. It seems like Shinobu really knows my character."
Li Mo was a little distressed. It was strange that he couldn't tease Shinobu Kocho before leaving. He had been looking forward to this scene.
Immediately, he let go of this thought and said, "Then I'll ask Kanae-san to tell Shinobu a message for me. 'I'm leaving, please tell Shinobu not to miss me.'"
"Li-san, do you want to imitate your tone?"
"of course."
"Then Shinobu will be angry."
Li Mo spread his hands, "This is my real purpose. It's very interesting just thinking about that scene."
"Finally, Kanae-san. I also have something to say to you."
"I prefer your smile that comes from the heart. By the way, I'm also looking forward to Shinobu's smile."
The exchange ended there. In the end, it was Butterfly Kanae who sent Li Mo out of the Butterfly House. During this process, Butterfly Shinobu was not seen.
Only after Li Mo walked away did Butterfly Shinobu come to Butterfly Kanae's side.
"Is he gone?"
"They've left, Shinobu. They also asked me to tell you a few words." Kanae Kocho smiled and told Shinobu Kocho what Li Mo had said before.
But to Li Mo's surprise, Kocho Shinobu was not angry. "He is just like that. I will just protest to him next time."
"That's right, we'll see each other in the future. Shinobu, we have to live well."
"I know, sister."
