Most likely he was wiping his own tears.
He didn't foolishly expose this matter. Instead, he waited...
Later, Zhen Gu turned to face Li Mo with a faint smile on his face, "Junior brother, from what you said, I feel that you think I am weak? In the usual actual combat training, our victory and defeat seem to be tied."
"Can I say that I let myself down during the actual combat training?"
"No."
"Oh, that's too much."
"You are the one who went too far. By the way, you must have made this promise to the Butterfly Sisters, right?"
Zhengu suddenly asked.
Li Mo touched his chin. He had been in correspondence with Kocho Kanae and Kocho Shinobu for the past six months. There were times when Shinkomo saw them, so he had to talk to his senior sister about the sisters.
"Yeah, I did. What's wrong?"
"nothing?"
Zhengu turned around and walked forward. His attitude suddenly became much more arrogant.
In the end, Li Mo could only shake his head and follow.
whatever.
Chapter 33 "Final Selection"
Butterfly Chanae was leaning over the desk, holding a pen in her hand, writing a letter to her sister.
Dear sister, Shinobu Kocho:
After finishing the first row, she stopped writing for a moment, not knowing what to write. Then, she remembered the letter she received from Li Mo a few days ago.
In that letter, Li Mo wrote that he had successfully passed the test of the Ikushi and was preparing to participate in the "Final Trial". Calculating the time, Li Sang should be near Fujiki Mountain and should be taking the "Final Trial".
“I’m still a long way from that.”
During her time studying at Ikushi, Kocho Kanae received excellent reviews from him. But compared to Lee Sang, it was still too far.
I remembered that in the letter, Li San said that he had completed "Full Concentration Breathing, Constant Concentration". He could maintain that level of breathing for 24 hours a day. How terrifying and powerful it was, but I couldn't even last half an hour.
"The gap is too big."
But this is natural. Li-san has killed demons more than once before he came into contact with the Demon Slayer Corps. I think he can easily pass the "Final Trial".
"Just pass these things on to Shinobu. Yeah, and tell Shinobu the training method for blowing the gourd as well."
A girl like a Yamato Nadeshiko sat in front of the window, bathing in the sun, and wrote down everything she saw and heard. This letter would soon reach her sister with the help of a messenger crow.
Although both Kocho Kanae and Kocho Shinobu were recommended by Gyoumei to study at the Ikushi, the two sisters were not under the same Ikushi.
After finishing the letter, she thought about a question: What was Li Sang doing at this time?
……
……
Wisteria flowers are just ornamental plants for humans. But for demons, they are extremely disgusting. Fujikiyama is full of these flowers. Only in the center, there are no blooming wisteria flowers. This is where the Demon Slayer Corps conducts the "final selection". Every year, the Demon Slayer Corps will capture weaker demons outside and throw them into Fujikiyama. It provides a place for assessment for the "final selection".
On the day of the selection, Zhen Gu and Li Mo entered the selection site side by side. This is a platform surrounded by wisteria flowers. It is said that this flower blooms here all year round.
After knocking in front and continuing along the road, you will find that there are no wisteria flowers there.
The ghost is among them.
"Makomo, who do you think will host the start of the "Final Selection"? "
"do not know."
Zhen Gu didn't want to pay attention to his junior fellow student, because he had asked these questions thousands of times.
Li Mo felt that he was asking for trouble, so he stopped asking.
On this platform, there are many people holding Nichirin swords waiting here. Most of them are men, because women suffer too much in terms of physical fitness. But there are also excellent women like Zhengu who appear here.
Regardless of whether they were men or women, everyone had a serious expression. Today's "final selection" was of great significance to everyone. The selection itself also represented danger, and no one could relax.
Li Mo was an exception. He had no fear of ghosts in his heart. He was very powerful and did not need to be afraid of the tasks in the Novice Village.
Time passed slowly. Finally, some changes occurred. The person who hosted and guided this "final selection" came here under the escort of a towering giant.
He was a frail young man, very literary, and at first glance he reminded people of a scholarly person. But the area around his right eye, and even above it, seemed to be rotten, making his handsome face look very ugly.
Seeing this, Li Mo's expression turned serious.
The memory came to mind, this appearance, and the escort of Beimingyu Xingming. Then his identity was about to be revealed.
My lord, only the lord of the Demon Slayer Corps can do this.
"Junior brother, is that tall guy Beimingyu Xingming? I remember he recommended you here. Is he special to you? Why did you become so serious all of a sudden?"
Zhen Gu asked beside him. When the two of them appeared here, she noticed the changes in her junior brother. After careful observation, the monk who was more than one head taller than everyone else happened to look over here. Was it because of him?
A person who is over two meters tall will give off a strong sense of oppression no matter who he or she stands in front of.
"No, I don't care about Beimingyu Xingming. Senior sister, didn't you realize that Beimingyu Xingming is actually guarding that slow-moving adult man?"
Gyomei of Beiming Island has already become a "Pillar". How could a character who can be escorted by a "Pillar" be so simple?
What was the master's name? Li Mo had forgotten it, he only remembered that he was a very charismatic person.
He even felt that the other party looked at him on purpose when he came here, and smiled after noticing his gaze.
"Everyone, I am very grateful to be able to participate in the "Final Selection". "
"Tengxi Mountain is full of wisteria flowers all year round. To ghosts, wisteria flowers are poisonous. It is impossible for them to escape from Tengxi Mountain."
"But if we continue on from here, there will be no protection from the wisteria flowers."
"The content of the trial is to survive in there for seven days."
"You can also leave the mountain early, but that will be considered a failure in the assessment."
"Finally, after everyone has made sure that there are no problems with supplies, we can go up the mountain."
"I wish you good luck in martial arts."
The lord's voice is gentle and calm, just like the spring breeze, the coolness of autumn, the rain of summer, and the warm sun of winter. It is comfortable and leisurely, and can purify the soul.
His voice reminds me of the kind elders at home, chatting with you in a casual manner on a summer afternoon.
His words served as a signal. The swordsmen on the platform began to move, advancing along the path ahead. The vast majority of the swordsmen who came here had made their own decisions.
Li Mo and Zhen Gu were the last batch of people to enter the assessment.
As their figures disappeared on the platform, only the gentle man who was speaking and the guards beside him were left.
He looked at the empty platform and said, "No one quits again this year?"
"My lord, those who come here are the ones who have made up their minds."
"I know, Xingming. The children who can come here are all good children. Well, I am the one standing behind, I can only wish them a safe return."
Beimingyu Xingming stood beside the thin young man, his huge body seemed to completely wrap around him. He was paying attention to the movements in all directions.
"Xingming, is the last child who left the Chinese you met?"
"Yes, my lord."
"What do you think of his current strength?"
Beimingyu Xingming recalled the familiar person he had seen before. When he first met him, he looked very relaxed, but if he looked closely, he could feel that he was in a stable state. He looked relaxed, but in fact, he could burst out with terrifying power in the next second.
"My Lord, he can become a Pillar now."
Beimingyu Xingming could feel the threat at the life level from that person.
"Become a pillar? Okay." The lord said with a smile, "It seems that it is correct. Xingming, I'm sorry for wasting your time today and accompanying me on this journey."
"My lord, it was not wasted."
Beimingyu Xingming knew that his lord came here specifically to see that strange Chinese man.
Ever since that day, when the lord's natural illness worsened, he paid special attention to the Chinese man.
"Please send me back. I am so weak that I don't want to waste your time. As a pillar, Xingming, you should be doing something more meaningful. I am sorry that you have to accompany me on this journey."
"My Lord, this is my responsibility."
The lord smiled, he saw the person he wanted to see.
Will the story move towards that scene?
Chapter 34 Eleven
"Today's starry sky is so beautiful."
The starry sky at night is so beautiful that even the moon's light seems dim. The mountains without purple flowers seem particularly lifeless, and only the starry sky is worth comforting.
"What are you talking about? Why don't you go quickly? What are you doing here? You should find the place where the sun rises first."
Zhengu looked at the guy in front of him who was having a seizure and spoke.
Why did she feel that the guy in front of her came here with the intention of traveling?
"Zhen Gu, what do you think the ghost will do now?" Li Mo kept it a secret.
"do not know."
"Don't be so cold in your answer. Imagine that you haven't eaten any normal food for a year and can only eat junk food to fill your stomach. Suddenly one day, a lot of normal food rushes in front of you, what will you do?"
Li Mo's words undoubtedly threw all the answers in front of Zhen Gu.
What he described was exactly what the ghosts trapped in Fujixi Mountain experienced.
According to common thinking, no, according to the thinking of wild animals, we all know what those ghosts will do. When they see food, they will rush over regardless of everything.
In the eyes of ghosts, humans are just food.
Zhengu said: "Because of this, shouldn't we find a safe place?"
"There's no rush for this. Why don't we try out the quality of these ghosts first?"
