""
Urokodaki Sakonji remained silent, wearing a tengu mask, so Ke Ling couldn't see his expression.
"It's true! Mr. Ke Ling even..."
Tanjiro Kamado opened his mouth, anxiously trying to clear up the misunderstanding between the two, but he stopped halfway through his sentence.
He originally wanted to say that Mr. Ke Ling was so willing to eat himself in order to avoid cannibalism that he was deeply impressed by this.
But considering that Mr. Ke Ling might not want others to know about this, and since Mr. Ke Ling didn't bring it up, he shouldn't say anything more, so he immediately stopped.
"It's almost dawn."
Urokodaki Sakonji looked towards the distant horizon and slowly spoke: "The sun is about to rise, and all evil will retreat into the shadows."
"what?"
Tanjiro Kamado paused for a moment, then quickly looked at his sister.
Ghosts cannot be exposed to sunlight; once exposed to sunlight, they will vanish into nothingness. This was something Mr. Ke Ling told him.
Sure enough, Nezuko Kamado had retreated to the mountain temple looking quite uncomfortable. Although the smell of human flesh in the temple made her feel unwell, her fear of sunlight was overwhelming.
Tanjiro Kamado was in a dilemma. He wanted to go see his sister, but he was also afraid that Mr. Korin and Mr. Urokodaki would fight again.
Aren't you going to hide?
Urokodaki Sakon asked Ke Ling a question, and even though Ke Ling couldn't see his expression, she could hear the deep confusion and bewilderment in his voice.
Why are you hiding?
Ke Ling replied with a smile, "Old man, today I'll show you what true shock is."
"Mr. Ke Ling?!"
Tanjiro Kamado looked surprised and puzzled as to why Mr. Koling didn't hide.
The sun rose as usual, and the first rays of morning sunlight pierced through the night and shone on the earth.
The morning light, like the delicate brushstrokes of a master, gently outlines the contours of the earth, and rays of sunlight fall like ink dots among the mountains and forests.
The shadow wolf had already turned into a shadow and shrank back to Ke Ling's feet. The sunlight shone on Ke Ling, and nothing happened. Ke Ling was still standing there perfectly fine.
Urokodaki Sakonji finally couldn't hold back anymore. Even though we couldn't see his expression, Ke Ling could feel his shock through his subtle body language.
Why aren't you afraid of the sun?
Sakonji Urokodaki's voice trembled slightly, which puzzled Tanjiro Kamado, as he could even sense fear emanating from the old man.
Is he afraid? Afraid of what? Mr. Ke Ling? Because Mr. Ke Ling isn't afraid of sunlight?
Although Tanjiro Kamado knew that demons could not be exposed to sunlight, he had never seen what would happen to a demon in the sunlight, nor did he understand the significance of sunlight to demons.
These people all say that ghosts must eat people, but Nezuko and Mr. Korin don't eat people, do they? Is it so strange that there is a ghost that is not afraid of sunlight?
Sakonji Urokodaki was indeed afraid, because unlike Tanjiro Kamado, he knew what it meant.
If demons are no longer afraid of sunlight, how will the Demon Slayer Corps kill them?
If ghosts are no longer afraid of sunlight, is there still hope for this world?
"No, actually I'm still afraid of the sun. I just found a way to block out the sun so that I can barely walk in the sun, but every step I take feels like walking on thin ice."
Ke Ling answered with a serious expression. He did not continue to provoke Urokodaki Sakonji, because the old man seemed to be in a very unstable emotional state.
If this guy impulsively decides to try and kill him, that would be a real mess. He just wants to prove he's special.
"what way?"
Sure enough, after hearing Ke Ling's words, Urokodaki Sakonji's emotions stabilized somewhat. He could tell that Ke Ling was not lying.
If that's all there is to it, as long as ghosts are still afraid of sunlight, then at least the worst situation hasn't happened yet.
"It's not that I can't tell you, but this is one of my most important secrets."
Ke Ling shrugged, indicating he wasn't planning to reveal all his cards at once. He hoped to gain some benefits in return, since Mr. Urokodaki seemed easy to talk to, and he desperately needed a professional with whom he could communicate normally.
""
Urokodaki Sakonji remained silent, seemingly deep in thought, but Kamado Tanjiro couldn't help but speak up.
"Mr. Ke Ling, can Nezuko use this method?"
Although he was a little embarrassed, Tanjiro Kamado forced himself to speak up for his sister's sake.
First update~~~
Chapter 65 Can I do it too?
"I'm sorry, Tanjiro, I'm afraid that won't work."
Ke Ling shook his head. To be honest, with the technological level of this era, his method was absolutely impossible to replicate.
"That's it"
Tanjiro Kamado was somewhat disappointed; it was indeed not so easy to do. He had no doubts, because Mr. Koling was very sincere.
"what do you want?"
Urokodaki Sakonji finally spoke, asking Ke Ling.
He understood what Ke Ling meant, of course. In fact, Ke Ling's words were quite clear: it could be said, but it would cost extra.
"I need your knowledge, knowledge about ghosts, and experience in killing ghosts."
Ke Ling looked very serious. He had finally met a professional with whom he could have a normal conversation, so he certainly wouldn't let the opportunity slip by easily.
As a demon slayer, and not young at that, Urokodaki Sakonji is definitely very capable and knows a lot.
After all, just like demon hunters, those who aren't skilled enough won't last long and will become food for monsters long ago.
And these long-lived old folks, even putting everything else aside, possess a wealth of experience that is an invaluable asset.
"For better ghost hunting?"
Urokodaki Sakonji wasn't very surprised. He could tell from the way Ke Ling killed that demon that this strange guy had killed a demon before.
"That's right. In order to hunt ghosts better, and in order to avoid eating people, I don't want to become a cannibalistic ghost who has lost himself."
Ke Ling spoke very sincerely. There was no other way; Tanjiro Kamado was right next to her, and his nose was like a lie detector. Showing off her acting skills here was useless; she could only rely on sincerity.
They are born with the ability to distinguish between red and white names, sense emotions, and detect lies. No matter how you look at it, this ability is incredibly powerful!
"Okay, I can promise you."
Sakonji Urokodaki agreed readily because he possessed abilities similar to Tanjiro Kamado, and he sensed sincerity in Korin's words. Korin had always been sincere.
"Great, thank you."
Ke Ling breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Urokodaki Sakonji, but at the same time he had some doubts in his heart.
He had actually been wondering for a moment that this old man was being a little too easy to talk to.
Although it may seem a bit cheap and hypocritical to think this way, would a demon hunter who has lived this long really believe what a demon says so easily?
Surely Urokodaki isn't like Tanjiro Kamado, born with an overpowered nose? Is such an amazing talent really so worthless?
"Let's bury the victims first."
Urokodaki Sakonji did not explain; he began to busy himself. Leaving the corpses in the mountain temple unattended was clearly not a solution.
"I'm here to help!"
Tanjiro Kamado immediately followed. He had just gone to check on his sister, Nezuko, who had huddled in the basket.
"I'll join you too."
Ke Ling sighed, pinched her nose, and went to help.
The feeling of burying a corpse is similar to burying a fragrant feast of delicacies.
"Mr. Ke Ling, is everything alright?"
Tanjiro Kamado asked with concern. He was a very empathetic child, and just by thinking about it, he could understand how badly Mr. Korin was feeling.
"It's okay. If I can't even hold on to this, I might as well end it all sooner rather than later, so I don't lose myself."
Ke Ling smiled. What's so special about this? Don't underestimate his perseverance. He's the king of scrubbing, even while crossing the street!
Sigh, it's better not to mention it; it only brings tears to my eyes.
Tanjiro Kamado nodded, realizing he had been overthinking things.
After all, Mr. Ke Ling had been to his house after the incident. Mr. Ke Ling was able to endure it when no one else was around, so he shouldn't worry about Mr. Ke Ling's patience.
"Ke Ling, it's good that you have this awareness."
Urokodaki Sakonji suddenly spoke up. He was kneeling with his hands clasped together in front of several graves, seemingly performing a ritual to pray for the souls of the victims.
"Tanjiro Kamado, what would you do if your sister ate someone?"
After the ritual was completed, Urokodaki Sakonji stood up, went to the two of them, and asked Kamado Tanjiro a question.
Urokodaki Sakonji wasn't very tall, not much taller than Kamado Tanjiro who was only thirteen years old. Ke Ling estimated that his height was less than 1.7 meters.
But the old man's not imposing physique possessed an extraordinary aura, an aura accumulated from years of hunting evil spirits.
Tanjiro Kamado was stunned. He had never thought of such a thing. His brain was so shocked that it went blank for a moment, and he was unable to answer.
"Snapped!"
Urokodaki Sakonji slapped Kamado Tanjiro, not with much force, but it still left Kamado even more bewildered.
"If your sister doesn't have Ke Ling's awareness, then you should kill her first and then commit seppuku. This is the awareness you must have when you're traveling with your sister who is a ghost!"
The old man seemed quite displeased with Tanjiro Kamado's hesitation; his voice was extremely serious, and he spoke with great earnestness.
Tanjiro Kamado stared wide-eyed, but still didn't utter a sound in response.
Urokodaki Sakonji, on the other hand, showed no mercy, constantly throwing cold words at Kamado Tanjiro, relentlessly impacting Kamado Tanjiro's understanding.
""
Ke Ling, watching from the side, couldn't help but gasp in amazement. In Urokodaki Sakonji's words, he had transformed into "someone else's child".
