Chapter 98
The time passed unconsciously in chatting.
Unknowingly, the sky gradually darkened, and it was estimated that it would be completely dark before long.
Once it enters the dark night, it is time for evil spirits to appear.
At this time, there were footsteps, and two figures slowly appeared.
One has frosty white hair, and the other has black hair as black as ink. Both are wearing white kimonos.
They are all holding a palace lantern in their hands. They are all very petite in stature. From appearance to temperament, they are almost identical.
Aside from the hair, it's almost indistinguishable.
At first, Su Mu also thought that both of them were girls, but soon realized that one of them was probably a boy.
If the guess is correct, then this boy should be Uyashiki Teruya, the son of Demon Slayer Corps leader Uyashiki Yōya.
It was also after the death of Ubuyashiki Yōya that he succeeded him as the new lord and continued to be responsible for encircling and suppressing the ghost Maitsuji Mukai.
Although he is a boy, Ubuyashiki Teriya does not wear men's clothes, but wears girl's clothes like a girl.
This is also because the Uyashiki clan has a habit of raising boys as girls.
Of course, this is also the helpless and last resort of the Ubuyashiki clan.
Because the boys of the Ubuyashiki clan were born with weak bodies. In order to protect and raise these weak boys, the Ubuyashiki clan adopted the practice of raising them as girls. They also hoped that in this way, they would be less exposed to the outside world. Injury and stress, allowing them to grow in a relatively safe and calm environment.
In addition, the Ubuyashiki clan is also deeply affected by the curse of Tsuji Mukai. Almost every male member of the Ubuyashiki clan is unable to live beyond the age of thirty, and is often accompanied by diseases.
Treating the heir as a girl is also a very effective way to fight against curses and diseases figured out by the Ubuyashiki clan. This can greatly extend their lifespan and give them more opportunities to grow and inherit the family's legacy. mission

As the two people arrived, everyone gathered here became quiet.
Obviously, everyone knows the identities of these two people
"Thank you all for coming tonight to participate in the final selection of the Demon Slayer Corps."
The two spoke in unison. Even their voices were very similar.
Everyone looked attentively and listened.
"On the top of Tengxi Mountain, the ghosts of the ghost-slaying swordsmen are imprisoned, but the ghosts cannot leave, because from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain, wisteria flowers, which the evil ghosts hate, are blooming all year round. At this point, his voice paused for a moment before continuing:"But in front, on the way to the top of the mountain, there are no more wisteria flowers. There are ghosts there.""
"Everyone, if you want to pass the final selection, you must survive here for seven days."
As they spoke, the two of them lowered their heads slightly and bent over:
"So, please go all the way"
……………………
Those who can choose to participate in the Tengxi Mountain assessment naturally know this rule. They all know that once they step out of the mountainside and enter the top of the mountain, they may be greeted by cruel evil spirits.
Everyone is a swordsman who has been taught by a trainer and has mastered the breathing method, but at this moment, they are still a little hesitant.
"Ha...a group of cowardly guys."
With a sneer, a young man with black hair, blue eyes, thick eyebrows, and wearing a magatama pendant and bracelet took the lead and ran out to the top of the mountain. The young man's face was indifferent, and the most eye-catching thing was the ring around his waist. The Nichirin sword is too shiny. Its body is dark gold with a mountain blade pattern on it. The handle is also dark gold. Its scabbard is black, and the sword crocodile is white with a triangle pattern on it.
"Who is this? Seems a bit arrogant."
A teenager couldn't help but ask his friend
"Zhou Yue, the eldest disciple who was taught by Qian Mingzhu himself, was said to be very powerful because of his master's true teachings. It was also said that he had already had experience fighting ghosts."
………………
After hearing the discussions of some people around him, Su Mu also turned his attention to the young man.
Yue Yue, he does know a little bit.
Zhuo Yue has been a homeless orphan since he was a child. He lives by drinking muddy water and stealing. Because of his childhood experience, he has developed selfishness and only thinks about himself. He believes that no matter what the process is, As long as you are alive, you can definitely change the status quo.
Later, Zhuo Yue was brought back to the temple by Bei Mingyu Xingming to be raised. When getting along with Bei Mingyu Xingming and other orphans, Guo Yue's behavior was very normal, but the boy's personality could not be changed. Once, Zhuo Yue because of After stealing money, he was kicked out of the temple by other children carrying Wei Ming Yu Xingming. On this night, Zhu Yue encountered an evil ghost. In order to save his own life and take revenge on other children, he even sneaked into the temple and extinguished the Ming Ming. Yu Xingming lit the wisteria incense candle and led the ghost into the temple, while he himself took the opportunity to escape.
For this reason, almost no children in the temple were spared. Only a four-year-old Shadai survived under the protection of Mingyu Xingming.
But the four-year-old Shadai, out of fear, identified Ming Yu Xingming as the murderer, and was imprisoned for claiming injustice.
After escaping from the temple, Yu Yue learned about the existence of ghosts, so he decided to become a ghost hunter to make himself stronger. After that, Yu Yue went to Momoyama and became a disciple of Demon Slayer Former Naruhashi Kuwashima Jigoro. Become, my wife Shanyi’s senior brother.
He also passed the Teng Xishan assessment and became a ghost hunter.
However, this swordsman who was supposed to hunt evil ghosts gave up his duty as a demon slayer, betrayed his own beliefs, gave up his identity as a swordsman, and chose to become a ghost.
For this reason, his master Jigoro Kuwashima even chose to have a caesarean section to apologize.
Of course, now Zhu Yue has not betrayed his identity, nor has he become a ghost. He is still the proud disciple of Qian Mingzhu.
Su Mu didn't expect to meet him here.
"Mujun, do you know him?"
A voice as sweet as a lark rang in his ears.
Seeing Zhen Shi looking at him curiously, Su Mu shook his head:"I don't know him."
"This person's name is Yue Yue. He practices the Breath of Thunder. His master Kuwashima Jigoro is a powerful pillar with the same name as my master.……"
Zhen Shen explained to Su Mu in a low voice.
"Um."
Su Mu nodded, looked at the gradually dimming sky, pressed his hand slightly on the hilt of his sword:"Let's go in, too."
"good."
Masana nodded, his eyes under the fox mask jumped a bit, and his little hand couldn't help but pat the hilt of his sword slightly, and his already well-developed chest puffed up slightly:"Mr. Mu, I'm very powerful, inside. , as long as Mr. Mu is behind me, I can protect you."
Su Mu raised his eyes, glanced at Zhen Yan who was raising his head like a little swan, smiled slightly, and said; (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"good"
"Then I'll leave it to Miss Masaki."
