Chapter 2293 The only Good Thing
In addition to breathing, this world has another strange thing, stripes.
If breathing has some scientific basis, then stripes are completely a cheat. It is really the power of God to balance creatures like ghosts.
There is no basis at all. Once stripes appear, life will be overdrawn and you will not live beyond the age of 25. What is even more incredible is that these stripes are actually contagious. Once a stripe warrior appears, other stripe warriors will appear one after another around him. Don’t you think this is weird?
Breathing is science, and stripes are God’s favoritism towards humans. Knowing that humans are no match for ghosts, he gives humans a choice to overdraw life to gain the power to defeat ghosts.
There have never been stripes before, and it was only since Jiguoyuan that they appeared. At first, everyone was very happy because with stripes, their fighting power soared, but gradually the ghost hunters found that those with stripes died after the age of 25, and they died suddenly without any reason.
Gradually, everyone suspected that it was the stripes. Later, after observation, it was found that warriors with stripes would indeed die after the age of 25. So everyone began to fear. Tsugikoku Yoriichi first breathed, then had stripes, and now he hadn't eliminated the demon ancestor, so it was impossible for everyone to continue to tolerate this powerful warrior.
Tsugikoku Yoriichi also left calmly. Anyway, his heart had never been anchored in the Demon Slayer Corps, and his heart needed simple people to comfort him. He was almost 25 years old, so he decided to meet his only friend and then disappear from everyone's sight.
In the process of killing demons, he saved a charcoal seller. This family was very simple. Their biggest wish in life was to sell charcoal well and then pass on this business. They did not seek power or wealth, and they were contented, which made Tsugikoku Yoriichi feel at ease and feel that he was not alone. Because Tsugikoku Yoriichi did not seek fame or power, his ultimate wish was just like this family, just to live a plain life and support his family.
But for Tsugikoku Yoriichi, this goal was too extravagant, but he could at least protect the happy life of others: "Recently, I have been summarizing my moves and refining my moves into thirteen moves." It's a pity that everything I have is going to be lost, and I can't find a successor.
"It's amazing." The charcoal seller said casually.
The wife who was teasing her son said, "Can we see it?"
The son who had just learned to walk also came over and smiled at Jiguo Yuanyi.
Jiguo Yuanyi knew that his moves were to protect the lives of these people, so he naturally didn't mind performing: "Well, anyway, this set of martial arts will be lost from now on."
After performing martial arts, Jiguo Yuanyi was about to leave. From now on, he would be forgotten and never appear again.
"Master warrior, we will remember you, and we will definitely pass on your martial arts. I believe that one day there will be a warrior like you again." The charcoal seller shouted to the warrior's back.
The warrior just smiled indifferently. It turned out that he was a simple person who would consider others. At this time, he still considered his own feelings. It was indeed right for him to come and see them in the end.
He left. He was almost 25 years old and it was time to wait for death.
"The scenery is beautiful on a sunny day, with red flowers and green grass. I run forward happily, and I will never grow old even if I walk through the green mountains."
On the way back to the place of memories with his wife, the warrior heard someone singing loudly. He knew from the voice that this must be a great master. Although the sentence is simple, it contains a free and easy emotion, which is very contagious.
Although the warrior didn't want to see anyone again, his steps still walked towards the direction of the mage involuntarily, perhaps he wanted to pray before he died, praying that he and his family could meet again in the underworld.
A mage stood between the ridges of the field and sang loudly.
"Master, I have never heard the ballad you sang before."
"So it was a samurai." It was the first time Duran and Jiguo Yuanyi met: "I wrote this myself."
"The ballad is full of free and easy meanings. Why is the master so free and easy? In this troubled world, is there a piece of paradise that is not affected?"
"Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, so it is unreliable to look for paradise outside. The real paradise is in your heart."
It is too profound. Jiguo Yuanyi deeply agrees with it, but unfortunately his heart is full of worries, full of sacrifices and sufferings, and there is no room for paradise, so he can only take other people's paradise as his own paradise, but unfortunately this little luxury was also taken away.
"Samurai, where are you from and where are you going?"
"I have forgotten where I came from, and now I am going home."
"Since you know the location of your home, how can you not know where you came from?" Duran asked.
Jiguo Yuanyi also wanted to know why, and didn't know why he had to encounter so many things. In fact, he didn't forget his ancestral home, but he didn't know why he came to this world and went through so much. As for the ending, it was very clear. He was going to die, so he said he would go home.
Seeing the other party was silent, Duran said, "Warrior, why did you hold the sword in the first place?"
Ji Guoyuan didn't know anything. He just saw his brother practicing swordsmanship with his teacher. He walked up to him by mistake, and then he said that he also wanted to become a samurai: "I have forgotten it." In fact, it didn't matter if he didn't hold a sword. Anyway, the family His whole life has been planned for him, so it doesn't really matter if he goes to a temple to become a monk. If I didn't hold a sword, I would be an honest and responsible monk in the temple. However, he did not follow his family's wishes and become a monk. Instead, he embarked on the path of the Demon Slayer Corps. Now that he thinks about it, it was really fate.
"So have you ever regretted it?"
"I have no regrets." Although he was just a pawn of fate, he met his wife. If it happened again, he would definitely protect them: "I only blame myself for not understanding my responsibilities earlier. If I was born to fight, then I wish I could know the mission earlier, so that I wouldn’t miss too much in ignorance.”
"It seems that you have accepted your fate, samurai. Now go back. Your fate is not over yet. Someone is waiting for you at home."
The warrior was startled, but found that the mage had disappeared. Could it be that he was dazzled, or did he see a god? Someone is waiting for me, who else would wait for me at this time?
Let's go. Now that the mage is missing, the warrior continues on his way. After experiencing such a strange thing, his calm heart began to waver again, and he actually started to look forward to it.
I don’t know if it’s my brother or who is waiting for me. Let’s go back and take a look.
Naturally, they were the warrior's wife and children. Dulan rescued them and arranged this happy reunion.
"Master, he is really a good person." Kanae said. After seeing so many tragedies during the Warring States Period, it can be considered that there was a better outcome.
"Yes, after the samurai left, the Demon Slayer Corps was also in chaos. The samurai's brother betrayed the Demon Slayer Corps and became a ghost. If the samurai's wife and daughter cannot be resurrected, nothing good will happen in this era."
Enichi's brother finally chose to become a ghost in order to gain the strongest power. One was to overcome the limit of twenty-five years old, and the other was to surpass his younger brother.
