Chapter 151 - The Concept of Pranayama

…

The sunshine in the summer morning is extremely clear and clean.

On Mt. Samagiri.

The refreshing breeze blew through the bluestone steps in the mountains, and the fog that filled the mountains seemed to have faded a lot.

It gives people a fresh and comfortable feeling, which makes people miss it very much.

Da da…

The figure wearing a red and white miko costume was strolling leisurely along the torii path.

There was a hint of joy on the face of the witch. She had often walked here for nearly a hundred years.

She liked the quiet environment here very much, but she would feel a little sentimental if she stayed there for a long time.

In his arms, he was holding two sleeping black crows.

"Gah..." The crow called unconsciously, the voice was very soft, as if it completely trusted the witch, and fell asleep peacefully.

…

At the foot of Mt. Samagiri.

In the doctor's office.

Ji Guoyuan stood in front of the two feng shui pillars, and the rock pillar beside him also turned around silently.

"Breathing?" Mizunashi Yuebai looked at Enichi Tsukuni with doubts in his eyes. He turned to look at Kazama Nariya and frowned: "I'm breathing right now."

"look."

"Breathe—breathe—"

As he spoke, Mizunashi Yuebai took a few deep breaths, and then quietly watched Tsukuni Enichi's reaction.

"Hey... pay attention." Kazama Chengya twitched the corners of his mouth, and he rarely pulled the hem of Suizuki's white clothes.

He stood aside and carefully observed Jiguo Yuanyi's subtle breathing rhythm.

He knew that there must be something special about this person who was brought back by that person and whose surname he had heard.

After drinking blood, his perception becomes much stronger than before.

I can feel it in the past few days I spent with him.

The man in front of him was as powerful as a tsunami, hidden beneath the calm surface of the lake.

"No, it's not..." Ji Guoyuan looked at Shui Wuyuebai's deep breath, frowned slightly, and shook his head.

Just when he was about to teach Liangzhu how to breathe correctly, he suddenly remembered that they did not know the world and could not directly observe his own lungs.

For a time, Ji Guoyuan was in trouble.

What he means by "breathing" is not the same concept as ordinary breathing.

Ordinary breathing is just the instinct of living things to maintain oxygen intake in the body.

Jiguo Yuanyi had long seen this kind of ordinary breathing from others, a breathing pattern that was completely different from his own breathing.

Such breathing can be seen from the elder brother, the elder brother's teacher, mother, father, and even his wife.

And his breathing is controlled by powerful muscles and a special breathing rhythm to absorb a large amount of oxygen at one time.

Physical fitness can be improved from quantitative to qualitative changes in an instant.

Over time, it can naturally improve the body's self-healing ability, stabilize the mind, and increase mental vitality.

Even Jiguo Enichi, who has been breathing like this since birth, has been getting stronger physically.

With his clear vision, he unknowingly adjusted his breathing rhythm to the optimal solution for his physical fitness.

When he was a child, without systematic training, he could easily instantly kill samurai who survived difficult battlefields.

Tsukuni Enichi once thought that the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps, who were generally so physically strong, must be people who had mastered the same special breathing method as him.

Therefore, he didn't pay special attention to these aspects when he first came here.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

Lowering his eyes, there was a rare clear emotion in Gujing Muha's eyes. After thinking quietly for a while, he continued slowly:

"You guys, imitate my breathing rhythm."

As he said that, Ji Guoyuan looked at their abdomens:

"Tighten your abdominal muscles first."

Hearing this, Feng Shui Erzhu silently tightened his abdominal muscles.

Pillars who once polished their bodies to the peak of human beings can now control their muscles with ease.

"Okay...now pay attention to my breathing rhythm..."

Ji Guoyuan said, closing his eyes slightly.

His breathing has been polished to the peak he can reach now, so his breathing rhythm is so slight that you can't even notice it if you don't pay attention.

In other words, he is already somewhat close to "returning to his original nature".

Therefore, if you want others to learn his breathing style, you must first strengthen your own breathing sound without changing the rhythm of your breathing.

This also means that the realm of "returning to nature" has been lowered to a lower level.

This is also where Ji Guoyuan is a little worried.

As long as his breathing method is taught, it will inevitably weaken a little first.

…

…

the other side.

Shang Quannai was standing on the street, looking up at the clear summer sky.

There were not many people walking around him, and he was the only one standing still.

People are always busy moving forward and never stop to rest.

As time went by, Shang Quannai found that his mentality seemed to be a little closer to that of an elderly person.

After Yuanyi's breathing method, he used the transparent world to imitate it during the time he spent with Yuanyi.

It feels very strange. Although he is a ghost, he can indeed use the breathing method.

The blood in the body seems to resonate with the breathing method, thus achieving a certain degree of strengthening.

Shang Quannai once thought that Jiguo Yuanyi was a "ghost" who evolved to another route.

Although it only imitates the way you breathe during normal breathing, not the tense breathing during combat, it is still useful enough.

However, for Shang Quannai, there is a lot of time to learn the breathing method, so let Yuanyi teach these pillars first.

At this time.

"Here it is." Ganluji Sakuracake held the two crows slowly waking up in her arms. She stood opposite Shangquan Nai and said with a smile.

"what are you doing?"

"No, it's nothing." Shang Quanna came back to his senses. He stopped looking up at the sky and slowly looked at Ganlu Temple Sakura Cake: "What's wrong?"

"Look!" Ganluji Sakuracake cupped her chest and bumped the two crows who were sleeping in her arms.

Just when Shang Quanna followed the eyes of Kanroji Sakuracake and saw the two crows in her arms.

Suddenly there was a wail in the doctor's office, which instantly attracted the attention of Shang Quanna and Kanroji Sakurabake. They both turned their heads at the same time and looked into the doctor's office.

"ah!??"

"Is this how people can breathe?!!"

It's the wail of Mizuna Yuebai.

This water column always pretends to be calm.

Now it seems that he has been completely boiled by the scorching sun of Enichi Jiguo.

…

…

In the doctor's office.

Minazuki looked at Jiguo Enichi with dumbfounded eyes. His brows were furrowed tightly, as if he was looking at something incomprehensible.

Just now.

Ji Guoyuan slightly intensified his breathing rhythm to the point where the two of them could hear it.

Then, Minazuki Shiro collapsed.

His inner defense completely collapsed.

The kind of mouth that can make steam come out from the corners of such a hot summer day!

That's steam!

My body temperature rises rapidly. I only take one breath, but my breath sounds like the sound of majestic and round wind!

At that moment, Mizunashi Yuebai felt that Jiguo Enichi's figure seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and those eyes in the shadow seemed to be swallowing him.

Just breathing brought a very strong sense of oppression, and I almost couldn't breathe just now.

Is it really possible for humans to do this? !

It can't be done! No matter how much you think about it, you can’t do it!

What kind of breathing can make the heartbeat accelerate so fast in an instant!

"Hello…"

Kazama Seiya was also a little dazed as he watched the steam gradually dissipating from the corner of Tsukuni Enichi's mouth, but he quickly reacted and patted Minazuki Shiro on the shoulder:

"Cheer up..."

"Cheer up...?" Shui Wuyue murmured at the corner of his mouth.

"Kazama! Don't you think so!" Mizuna Yuebai suddenly stirred up. He grabbed Kazama Narumi's arm with his backhand. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Kazama Narumi with a look of surprise:

"This is a little outrageous!"

"No! This is very outrageous!"

Although after drinking blood, the pillars' strength increased by an order of magnitude, they still couldn't reach that level!

It was no longer an inhuman thing. Mizunashi Yuebai even felt that the guy standing in front of him was an inanimate creature.

Creak...

Shang Quannai opened the door and slowly poked his head into the doctor's office.

Beside him, Kanroji Sakura Cake poked her head inside with the same curiosity. The crow in her arms showed faint signs of waking up.

Jiguo Enichi was standing aside with some distress. Udo was woken up in the room, and she walked out with her child in her arms.

Even Zhu Shi opened the door and took a look outside with some doubts. After finding that it was nothing serious, he closed the door silently.

From her face, you can vaguely see the look of exhaustion.

"What's wrong?" She asked softly as Yu Duo held the child in his arms and rocked it gently.

Minazuki Shiro looked at the curious baby in Udo's arms. He also knew not to scare the child, so he quickly put away his expression.

After his frustrated expression returned to normal, Minazuki Shiro sighed deeply.

He kept comforting himself in his heart. He had already seen an outrageous person like Shangquan who lived for six hundred years. This one was not unacceptable.

They are just monsters.

And just when Minazuki Shiro was comforting herself, the baby in Udo's arms reached out and held Udo's fingers.

The baby's clear eyes reflected Ji Guoyuan's slightly calmer breathing rhythm.

Then, under the instinctive imitation of biological toddlers.

"Bah~"

A small sound of breathing came, although it was small, it was so dazzling in Shuiwu Yuebai's ears at the moment.

He was stunned for a moment, then stiffly raised his head and looked at the baby in Yudo's arms.

At this moment, the baby's breathing rhythm gradually stabilized, although it was very weak... far less powerful than Tsukuni Enichi's breathing...

But it’s true…it’s similar to Tsukuni Enichi’s breathing rhythm just now…

At this time, a creature named Mizuki Shiro appeared.

I completely understand that there is something called "talent" in the world.

Shui Wuyuebai stopped thinking.

"Hey! Shiro!" Kazama Chengya looked at the baby and was stunned for a moment.

Then he just smiled and poked Suzuki Shiro with his elbow, but he found that the opponent was weakly swayed by his poke, and even showed signs of falling again.

"Shiro! Cheer up!!"

Kazama Seiya vigorously shook Minazuki Shiro's shoulders, while the latter's eyes were dull and he was about to cry without tears:

"That's enough."

"...What have I been living in my whole life..."

"white!!"

Udo blinked, and she looked at the distressed Enichi Tsukuni. Although Enichi Tsukuni was expressionless on the surface, Udo could clearly detect the emotions in his heart.

Sometimes, being too powerful can hurt others.

Ah... I often have such troubles, Yui Yi.

Udo looked at Tsukuni Enichi, she thought with some worry in her heart, and then gently held Yuanyi's hand:

"Yuanyi."

She rubbed the faint extra callus in Yuan Yi's broad palm and frowned slightly.

After coming to the Demon Slayer Corps, Enichi is obviously not so laid-back.

Maybe it was because of that night.

Yu Duo lowered her eyes, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes, but after seeing the child in her arms, this sadness completely disappeared.

"Huh?" Ji Guoyuan turned his head slightly. He looked at Yu Duo, who was a head shorter than him, and bent slightly: "What's wrong?"

Udo raised her head, she smiled and leaned on Yuanyi's shoulder:

"Sometimes it's better to start with the basics."

"Just like I taught you how to cook before, no one knows it right away."

Uta said softly, and then pointed slightly at the frustrated Minazuki Shiro:

"Look, if you don't do this, that's what other people will end up like."

As soon as Ji Guoyuan looked at his wife, he nodded slightly.

In fact, both of them knew that Jiguo Yuanyi was very thoughtful.

However, he is not very good at expressing, and Udo, who can clearly feel the emotions in his heart, will guide him a little in the way of expression.

"Sorry..." After Kazama Narumi woke up Minazuki Shiro, he smiled apologetically at Tsukuni Enichi: "Are you still going on?"

As soon as Ji Guoyuan looked at the appearance of the two of them, he glanced at the three pillars present, then looked at Shui Wuyuebai's state, and shook his head slightly:

"No, let's wait until everyone comes back."

"I see."

…

Shangquan Nai and Ganluji Sakura Cake appeared at the door. After watching the situation gradually stabilize, the two slowly put their heads back.

Shang Quannai leaned against the door panel. He looked up at the sky slightly, then returned to his senses and looked at Ganlu Temple Sakura Cake.

"No." Ganlu Temple Sakura picked up a crow by its wings from her arms and put it into Shang Quanna's arms.

Shang Quannai took the crow and then looked down.

Almost instantly, Shang Quannai felt a blood connection in the body of the bird in front of him.

He recognized it.

This eagle crow, I'm afraid... is the one from 600 years ago... the first eagle crow he created.

At this time, Kanroji Sakuramoji shook another sleeping crow who was still a little confused, and explained to Shang Quanna:

"I've been feeding these two your blood since you fell asleep."

"Sometimes I regret it, because later on, Mao's blood is often not enough."

She looked at the eagle crow she was holding, cupped her cheek with her hands, sighed silently in her heart, and her tone became a little lower:

"...But it's okay in the end. These two completely turned into ghosts. In the 20th year after Renshan's funeral, they laid many eggs and fell asleep completely like you."
