Chapter 34

The train station was brightly lit at night. Ji Qingfeng and his companions had just finished eating the lunch boxes they bought at the station, and in the blink of an eye it was time to say goodbye.

"Brother!"

At the door of a steam train carriage, Tanjiro's mother and his brothers and sisters looked at him reluctantly, with tears in their eyes.

"Mao, you have to be good and obedient, okay? Don't always make your mother angry"

"Hanako, you must listen to your mother and Nezuko."

"Nezuko, Bamboo Bear, take good care of your mother and your younger brothers and sisters"

"Mom!"Tanjiro was also very reluctant to say goodbye to his family one by one.

"Tanjiro, take good care of yourself outside, we will wait for you to come back." After saying this, Kamado Aoi took the children on the train

"I will visit you often!" Tanjiro waved his hand and said seriously.

"The train is about to leave. I have to leave too, uncle." Kocho Shinobu looked at Ji Qingfeng with some reluctance and said.

These days, Kocho Shinobu has had the most relaxing time since her sister left. In front of Ji Qingfeng, she can take off her gentle disguise and be her true self.

It's like her sister is still alive.

"Um"Ji Qingfeng nodded in a depressed mood, watching Butterfly Shinobu get on the train.

The train started with a hum.

"When I have time, I want to learn medical skills from you!"

"Great~!"

Ji Qingfeng and Tanjiro stood there together, watching the train going farther and farther away with a sense of loss.

"Stop looking, come with me, let's find a place to stay for the night, and then we'll set off for Sagiri Mountain tomorrow."

Hearing Ji Qingfeng's voice, Tanjiro came back to his senses.

"Yes!"

The two of them found a random hotel to stay in. Nothing happened that night, and no one was blindly killing civilians in the town.

The next morning, Tanjiro woke up early. He was too excited to sleep.

Looking at Ji Qingfeng who was still sleeping soundly, Tanjiro carefully put on his clothes and sat on the edge of his bed.

With a glance, he saw the sword that Ji Qingfeng had placed on the table.

There was not much difference between the two swords.

Tanjiro wanted to take it and have a look, but he felt it was not good to touch other people's things, so he could only squat beside the table and look at the two swords carefully.

"Well, you will also have a Nichirin Sword in the future."

After being awakened by the sound made by Tanjiro, Ji Qingfeng stretched his body. His senses were very strong now. Even though Tanjiro was careful not to make any noise, he was still discovered by him.

"I'll go take a shower, and then we'll go."

"Yes!"

After packing up, the two of them set out on the road to Sagariyama.

This year's Demon Slayer Corps assessment has just ended, and there is still a year before the next Demon Slayer Corps assessment.

A year of training time is not a big deal in these few days, so Ji Qingfeng was not in a hurry to get going, and just walked slowly with Tanjiro.

A few days later, on a rural dirt road at the foot of a mountain

"Brother Qingfeng, how far is Sagari Mountain?"

Untrained Tanjiro is still an ordinary person no matter how strong he is. He has climbed over several mountains in the past few days. He walks from morning to dusk every day.

The sun has set again today. If he could still bear it, Tanjiro would not want to ask, but he is really a little tired.

"Sagiri Mountain? If you want to go there, just go over the mountain in front."

Before Ji Qingfeng could answer, the peasant woman who was working on the roadside answered Tanjiro enthusiastically.

Maybe it was because she didn't think the two of them were bad guys that she talked to them. Tanjiro looked like a child, and Ji Qingfeng was also a handsome man.

"Thank you!"

Hearing that they would reach Sagiri Mountain after crossing the mountain in front of them, Tanjiro's spirits lifted and he politely said thank you to the peasant woman.

"The sun is about to set today, do you still want to move forward?"

"Many people have gone missing recently, so be careful not to get lost.

Seeing Ji Qingfeng and Tanjiro walking forward without stopping, the peasant woman hurriedly reminded them loudly.

"Don't worry, we will be careful."

Tanjiro didn't think they would be in any danger with Ji Qingfeng around, but he still responded politely to the farmer's words.

The sound of owls hooting rang out on the mountain at night.

"Brother Qingfeng, there is a Buddhist temple over there. The lights are on, so there should be people there. Let's take a rest for a night and continue our journey tomorrow.

Tanjiro, who was already a little tired, pointed to the Buddhist temple on the stone steps ahead and said

"Don't you smell any other smells?" Ji Qingfeng reminded calmly.

"Suck, suck"

"There's a smell of blood! Is someone injured? Or is it a ghost?"

"Brother Qingfeng!"Tanjiro looked at Ji Qingfeng beside him anxiously. He wanted to go and see if someone was injured. Maybe he could save that person.

But he didn't dare to do that. With his current small body, if he met an ordinary ghost, he would only be able to feed the ghost.

"Go ahead if you want to. I'll be watching you from behind."

Ji Qingfeng knew Tanjiro's kindness and gentleness, and he couldn't stand by and watch someone die.

Upon hearing this, Tanjiro ran in the direction of the bloody smell with a serious expression.

"Take this with you."

Seeing this, Ji Qingfeng took out the sword he used in training and threw it to Tanjiro.

At this late hour, the smell of blood didn't look like an injury.

Somehow, Ji Qingfeng always felt that the scene in front of him was inexplicably familiar.

After taking the sword thrown by Ji Qingfeng, Tanjiro didn't have time to thank him, and hurriedly continued to run towards the temple.

"Is everyone inside okay?"

After running over, Tanjiro opened the door of the temple with a bang.

There was a flickering candle in the temple, and a figure was kneeling next to someone.

"Ugh!!"

Tanjiro looked at the scene in front of him with horror and heard the sound of biting and chewing.

‘Ghost, cannibal ghost. '

There were several corpses lying in other parts of the house, and the corpses had been eaten to pieces.

"Unexpectedly, there is fresh food coming to the door."

The ghost stopped eating when he heard the noise and turned to look at Tanjiro.

Huh~

The flickering candlelight was completely extinguished because it was blown out after Tanjiro opened the door.

With a bang, the moment the candlelight went out, Tanjiro was pounced out by the ghost. Ji

Qingfeng, who had just come up, saw this scene from a distance and instantly remembered where this place was.

Isn't this the place where Tanjiro killed a ghost for the first time?

Ji Qingfeng was not in a hurry to save Tanjiro. The speed of this ghost seemed as slow as a turtle to him. It was just an ordinary ghost, just right for Tanjiro to practice.

If Tanjiro couldn't beat it, he would definitely have time to rescue it.

At the critical moment when the ghost was about to bite Tanjiro, Tanjiro remembered the knife that Ji Qingfeng threw to him.

Swish.

Tanjiro drew the knife out of the sheath and chopped off the ghost's head with one knife.
