Chapter 68 : Lady Tsubame , the Twelve - Moon Ghost , a short ...

Of the twelve crescent moon ghosts , only three remained in just one year .

The demon remained silent , as if planning something , but for a long time afterwards , the life of the Demon Slayer Corps remained peaceful .​​​

When Zhenren accidentally looked through the quarterly report of the Demon Slayer Corps , he found out that at the end of last autumn , there was only one swordsman who died in the melee between the black shadow and the cannibal .

His name is Yao Yue .

Yin recorded the scene in detail . This team was led by the previous generation of Lei Zhu . They originally intended to train the young men , but they went to the nearby mountains and forests . As a result, they encountered cannibals in the mountains and forests .

Xiong Yue abandoned his companions and fled , but was killed by a black shadow that suddenly appeared on the way .

The previous generation of Thunder Pillar was pushed by the anxious Yao Yue , and his forehead hit a stone , causing him to faint .

The other young swordsmen panicked when they saw their senior brother pushing their master away , but they still gathered around their master , trembling with fear as they faced the cannibal who was staring at them hungrily .

Fortunately, Love Pillar Mitsuri Kanroji was nearby and arrived in time to kill the cannibal and the black shadow , and sent the previous Lightning Pillar back to the base for treatment .

In the middle of the night , she found the body of Xiong Yue, which had been torn into pieces, deep in the woods .

After the spring , the swordsmen 's training became more rigorous .

The lord 's condition worsened .

Bo Yezhu knew a little about curses , so he went to take a look . In the room filled with a strong smell of medicine , the young lord was lying in the quilt , breathing weakly , and Madam Tianyin was kneeling beside him .

The silver-haired young man stared at his lord 's finger for a moment , then looked up and said , " The curse has intensified , but it hasn't reached the limit set by the clan leader . In about a month , when the condition becomes more severe , the red umbrella will take effect . "

" It greatly slows down the onset of the curse and also reduces the pain . "

There was a hint of sadness between Madam Tianyin 's eyebrows .

Every generation of lords died of a serious illness when they were in their twenties due to the curse .

Before he fell into a coma , Ubuyashiki Yoya had already arranged things for more than a year . He did n't know how much time he would be conscious , so he had to plan early .

However , he has always been a thorough person and did not make any arrangements for what would happen a year later .

Before he passed out , he breathed weakly and said to his wife , Tianyin , " I believe ... we will win . "

If they could see the sun more than a year later , it would mean that their thousand - year curse would end .

Madam Tianyin came back to her senses , her eyelashes trembling , and she said , " Okay . "

" Madam Tamayo has made some progress in her research , but she feels like she 's being spied on near her residence . She 's therefore suspending her research and seeking support from the Demon Slayer Corps . "

Nagisa frowned slightly as Tianyin continued , " I 've sent Tanjiro and the others to provide support . "​​​​

" I thought you would send Zhu Qian . " said Bo Ye Zhu .​

Madam Tianyin did n't answer , but simply said , " They left today . I thought if you and Mr. Zhenren have time , you could go and help out . "​

After leaving the lord 's house , Bo Ye Zhu looked at the sky outside . It was almost night , and the weather in early spring was still very cold . There were traces of frost in some places on the ground .

A young man in winter clothes , with a scarf around his neck , his silver hair blown by the wind , revealing his handsome eyebrows and eyes .

He walked towards the room , thinking in his mind that he should call the real person and set off now .

Mrs. Tamayo 's residence seems to be in Asakusa ? I can go back and visit . I heard from the real person that the peach tree they planted in the summer is still alive .

Will we be able to see the peach blossoms blooming next month ?

There was a heater lit in the room and the temperature was not low . When Bo Yezhu came back , warm air hit his face . Zhenren was sitting cross-legged on the ground , folding clothes for him .

" What are these ? " Bo Ye Zhu closed the door and walked over on the floor in his socks .

" I just found your autumn clothes today , and there 's a box you did n't take back . I 'll fold it first and take it back to the yard when I have time . " The real person looked up and said to him .

Usugaba Nagisa : " Madam Amane gave us a mission . She said that Madam Tamayo had requested assistance . We 've already sent Tanjiro and the others to check on her , but we 're worried . We thought we 'd go check on her if we have time . "

After all , they haven't really found any ghosts yet . It's similar to the inspection mission they did when they went to the Infinite Train , which will take several days .

Of course , if they are unlucky , Tanjiro and his friends might encounter a ghost tonight .

" Wait a minute , I 'll be right there . "

The real person quickened his hand movements .

Bo Ye Zhu sat beside him , watching him work , and continued to discuss the lord 's condition . " The lord has been in a coma for two days . It rained yesterday , did n't it ? Temperature also affects the condition . I checked the extent of the curse , and it 's not too bad . "

Although he thought it was so bad that no medicine could cure it .

Ten minutes later , Zhenren packed his clothes , stood up , and said , " Let's go . "

By this time , the sky outside was almost completely dark . Uroba Nagisa picked up the lantern in one hand and the Nichirin Sword in the other . After thinking for a moment , he turned to look at the real person : " Do you want to bring an umbrella ? "

Although it rained yesterday , there was no sign of rain all day today , and the sun even came out at noon .​

The real person shook his head .

As night fell , the two men left the headquarters , walked along the long wisteria path , then walked out of the mountains and forests and continued along the familiar path .

When you reach the fork in the road , you can see Tengxi Mountain in the distance . After spring , a new group of team members will go to Tengxi Mountain for the final selection .

Maybe the last group of players .

Before winter , the roads outside Asakusa were repaired and cars could pass through .​​​

Usugaba Nagisa 's crow flew up , planning to go to Asakusa first to find Tanjiro and the others ' crows to join up .

Half an hour later , the two entered the Asakusa area and after discussion decided to return to the courtyard first .

" It seems like the last time I came back was during the Chinese New Year . " Seeing the real person open the courtyard door , Bo Yezhu sighed .

The Demon Slayer Corps will have many dinner parties during the New Year , but he and Masato chose to return to Asakusa and stayed there for more than ten days before returning to the headquarters . Later , Masato came back to put some things away and take care of the plants . The weather was too bad this year , so Nagisa Usugaba did not come back with them .

The real person walked ahead and said , " I 'll go put my things away and be right back . "

He still had a mission to complete and could n't delay too long . Bo Yezhu stood in the flower garden , holding a lamp to look at the withered plants .

After enduring a winter , the real person built a small shed for them in late autumn . It was originally against the courtyard wall , and now it does n't look too damaged .

Before I finished watching , the real person came over and said , " Okay , let 's go . "

Bo Yezhu stood up and said , " I hope spring comes and it doesn't snow again . I think they 're going to freeze to death . "

" They 're frozen to death . Let 's buy new ones and plant them in the spring . "

In front of the courtyard gate , the real person locked it and said , " It 's not easy for them to survive the winter . I did n't expect them to be so tenacious . " After all, when I bought them , the vendor hinted that they would most likely not survive the winter if they were not taken good care of .

The metal lock made a " click " sound , and the real person turned around and said : " Give me the lamp , you must be tired after holding it for so long . "

Bo Yezhu handed it to him with a smile and said , " How could that be possible ? It 's just a lantern . "

A crow flew over and signaled them to follow .

The weather in early spring is cold , and there are almost no people on the streets here . Only the main street is bustling , with pedestrians still wearing thick winter clothes , chatting and laughing as they walk under the lights .

The two followed the crow and walked for seven or eight blocks . At the edge of Asakusa District , they saw three young men .

But they seemed to be talking to another teenager .

The master whispered , " That 's Yushiro . "​​

Compared to Tanjiro and the other two , Yushiro was obviously dressed more like a young master from a wealthy family . He looked a little unhappy , and there was a wall behind him . Uroba Nagisa remembered the blood demon technique of Yushiro mentioned by the real person , and thought that it was just a trick .

The sound of footsteps caught their attention . Tanjiro was the first to look over . His eyes lit up , and he waved and called out , " Mr. Uroba ! "

Bo Ye Zhu nodded : " Long time no see . "

The young man 's gaze fell on Yushiro , and he said gently , " Mrs. Tianyin asked us to come over and take a look . Do you have any clues ? "

Tanjiro shook his head and said , " I smelled a very bad odor , but I did n't see any trace of ghosts ... That 's right ! The smell went outside the city . "

He pointed in a direction .

Yushiro was a little dissatisfied : " You'd better go in first . If you attract other ghosts , I will definitely not let you go . "

" Oh , okay ! " Tanjiro nodded quickly .​

The blood demon art was unleashed , and the wall behind him seemed to have changed , but on the surface it was still the same as usual . Yushiro passed straight through the wall and disappeared in front of everyone .

Tanjiro had already had this experience once , so he explained that this was Yushiro 's blood demon art and took the lead in passing through the wall .

Seeing this , Zenitsu and Inosuke also went through .​​​​

" Let's go too . " Bo Ye Zhu turned his head to look at Zhenren and said .

There was no sense of stagnation when passing through the wall . After a flash of light , a quiet courtyard came into view . The lights were on in the house in front , and Tanjiro and the others had already walked over .

The real person looked around and found that the courtyard was no different from an ordinary one .

Bo Yezhu was a little distracted while looking at the house in front of him . He also looked at the courtyard , frowned slightly , and walked over .

" I heard that there are more swordsmen coming than just you ... " A woman's gentle voice came out , and the figure in the purple kimono faced the yard sideways . Tamayo looked at the three young men , and Yushiro stood beside her spontaneously .

Perhaps she discovered something . As soon as she finished speaking , she turned her head to look at the two young men walking into the yard .

To be precise , her sight fell on Uroba Nagisa .​​

Her purple pupils trembled slightly , and a picture flashed through her mind for a moment . A long-lost tingling sensation came from her temples , and a thin layer of sweat suddenly began to seep out of her pale face .

Standing outside the house , Nagisa Hōba raised her eyes and spoke in a clear voice : " Nice to meet you , Madam Tamayo . I am Nagisa Hōba . "

Tamayo looked at him . The moon tonight was not actually very bright . The young man was illuminated by the light coming through the house . His orange - yellow eyes reflected a faint golden light under the light .

There seemed to be a fragment in her memory , where a young person walked from the darkness into the light , with no sadness or joy in his eyes ... What was she doing at that time ?

Tamayo 's mind was in a mess , and her voice was trembling : " Have I seen you before ? "

" This is the first time we meet . " Bo Ye Zhu looked at her .

He was right , this was indeed their first meeting .​​

But , would Tamayo actually recall those memories ? He was a little surprised .

Yushiro was already staring at him with dissatisfaction , and the real person next to him also looked back coldly . It was obvious that the power of the cursed spirit was more powerful . Yushiro pursed his lips and looked at Tamayo silently .

And in this moment of silence , when Tamayo finally recovered from the pain , she finally saw clearly the image that flashed through her mind . The memory of that moment made her hands and feet cold .​

She is looking up .​​

Her head rolled to the edge of the threshold . A young man's sharp questioning voice was heard , and the silver - haired young man stopped and looked at her .

His eyes shifted , and he ignored it and walked straight into the house .

Inside the house , who is inside the house ?

Is it Yushiro ?​​

No , that 's not Yushiro 's voice !​

Who is —
