Infinite: Start as a ghost

Several hours later, the three people and two ghosts arrived at the mountain and finally met Kuwajima Jigoro.

"Grandpa!" Zenitsu rushed over excitedly when he saw that he was alright.

"Why are you here?" He was also very happy to see Zenitsu after a year.

"Who are these people?" Sangdao didn't recognize the others, but suddenly saw Jiang Jiu: "Is that you?"

"Old sir, it's been a long time," Jiang Jiu said with a smile.

The group bought some gifts along the way and gave them to Sangdao.

Sangdao invited them into the house, looking at Jiang Jiu with a complicated expression.

"Sir, am I now worthy of your approval?" Jiang Jiu asked with a smile.

“What’s there to approve or disapprove of?” Sangdao said. “Does my opinion matter? It’s enough that our lord approves of you.”

Oh my, she's really putting on a brave face, and she's such a proud and arrogant person.

Even setting aside the fact that so much time has passed, just considering the matter of annihilating the Lower Moon, there's no way he would still doubt himself.

At most, they're just putting on a brave face because of pride.

Jiang Jiu understood this very well, considering which country he lived in before he transmigrated.

That's the Celestial Empire, after all. When it comes to the culture of valuing face, who can compare to the Celestial Empire?

Zenitsu looked left and right: "Grandpa, where is Kaigaku? I can't see him."

Kuwajima Jigoro said, "Your senior brother just received a mission. Apparently, someone has died somewhere, and he has been sent to investigate."

At this point, the group of people were secretly saddened again.

There has only been one murder case recently.

"What's wrong with you?" Sangdao asked, puzzled.

Zenitsu told him about the Ganryu couple's situation, and Kuwajima's face also darkened.

"Sigh... perhaps this is the fate of our Demon Slayer Corps." He sighed, "I will also meet my seniors, Genryu and his wife, one day."

He looked at his prosthetic leg: "That day shouldn't be too far away."

Zenitsu said urgently, "Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about? You'll definitely live to be a hundred years old."

Sangdao laughed: "Don't you know how old I am?"

Sangdao was very old; even he had to address Yan Liu and his wife as "seniors," which gives you an idea of ​​how old the elderly couple was.

It's easy to imagine how high the elderly couple's status was in the Demon Slayer Corps.

It's easy to imagine how much the Demon Slayer Corps valued the deaths of the two elders.

Kuwajima laughed and said, "You and Kaigaku have never gotten along very well, why are you suddenly concerned about him?"

Zenitsu did not answer.

He was very afraid of that senior brother, and to some extent he did dislike him.

But he was his senior, and no matter how badly he was treated, Zenitsu still regarded him as family.

Jiang Jiu suddenly stood up: "Kuai Yue has come down the mountain?"

Everyone stared at Jiang Jiu in surprise, wondering why he had suddenly gone mad.

Sangdao asked in confusion, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Jiang Jiu realized his lapse in composure and sat back down in his chair: "Does he rarely come down the mountain? Is this the only time recently?"

Sangdao didn't think much of it: "Yeah, why are you asking this?"

Jiang Jiu did not answer; a scene from the original novel flashed through her mind.

He and several Demon Slayer Corps members encountered Kokushibo somewhere. Kokushibo killed his companions, and in order to survive, he accepted Kokushibo's blood and became the new Upper Moon Six, replacing Daki and Gyutaro.

The situation has changed slightly. He is still Upper Moon Six, while the other Upper Moons have moved up one position, replacing Akaza.

Judging by the timeline, this should be the plot.

Jiang Jiu hurriedly asked, "Does anyone know how to get to Yan Liu and his wife's house?"

The main characters definitely don't know that he was asking about Kuwashima Jigoro.

But he was disappointed.

Kuwajima Jigoro shook his head: "I don't know. The Yanliu couple don't like to be disturbed. After teaching their last batch of disciples, they went into seclusion, and no one knows where they live."

Jiang Jiu added in her mind, until the Demon Slayer Corps discovered that the couple had been killed by others.

However, the other members of the Demon Slayer Corps knew, but the few present were unaware. By the time Jiang Jiu tried to catch up, it was too late; he couldn't stop it from happening.

Whether Kaigaku lives or dies is completely unimportant.

Most importantly, Jiang Jiu lost a chance to see Heishibo!

Having met Sangdao, the group had achieved their goal of coming to Momoyama. After chatting for a while, they bid farewell to the old man and set off for the sword-forging village.

On the way, Zenitsu suddenly said, "By the way, should we go and see Mr. Urokodaki?"

Tanjiro asked, "What's wrong?"

Chapter 92 Jiang Jiu's Abnormality

Zenitsu told him about his previous worries about Kuwajima.

Then, feeling guilty, he said, "I'm sorry, I only had Grandpa Sangdao on my mind and forgot about everyone else. I only remembered him now."

Jiang Jiu said, "I see. Then you don't need to worry."

"Since being confined, Giyu-kun has been staying at Mount Sagiri with the old man."

Kokushibo will not go there at all, so all these worries are unnecessary. It doesn't matter whether Giyu is there or not; just saying it will put everyone at ease.

"Is that so? Then I'm relieved." Zenitsu's guilt lessened slightly.

A few days later, the three people and two ghosts arrived at the knife-forging village.

Getting to the knife-forging village is complicated because they can't just walk there.

To prevent being tracked by ghosts, the sword-forging village was built in a very secluded location, and several empty villages were even prepared as a precaution.

In the event of a ghost attack, the village chief of Forging Village will immediately arrange for the entire village to be relocated to another deserted village.

The three people and two ghosts arrived here through the hidden team.

You have to be blindfolded to get here, supposedly to prevent demons from knowing the route.

So they were carried several times by several members of the hidden team, and then they had to transfer to several different buses before they finally arrived.

Because none of the hidden team members responsible for going to the sword-forging village actually knew the complete route.

They all blindfolded and plugged the ears of those who were going; Tanjiro even had his nose plugged.

The hidden team members carried them to their assigned sections of the route, and then another member took over the next section.

They traveled through several places before finally arriving at the sword-forging village.

"We've arrived," the last member of the Hidden Team said, putting Jiang Jiu down.

"Is this the village of sword forging?" Tanjiro asked, his eyes filled with curiosity and excitement as he removed his blindfold.

Pighead asked the hidden team member responsible for carrying him, "Hey, are there any strong people in here?"

"It's strange that they're talented." The hidden team member shouted angrily, "This is the Sword Forging Village, the village that specializes in forging knives, why would there be a strong person here?"

"Really?" Pighead immediately lost interest: "That's really boring."

"It's all men, it's boring." Zenitsu said expressionlessly, completely losing interest.

"Hey, what exactly are you guys doing here?" The hidden team member was getting angry.

"Come with me quickly, we're going to see the village chief of the sword-forging village." The member complained, "Don't cause me any trouble."

They were led by their teammates to the village chief's house.

At this moment, Jiang Jiu seemed to recall the plot that was becoming blurry. Suddenly, he covered the mouth of the hidden team member in charge of him and disappeared silently behind everyone as the team member struggled. No one noticed.

After everyone left, Jiang Jiu, who was hiding in the shadows, finally let go of his hand.

"Are you trying to kill me?" The member of the Hidden Team shouted immediately after catching his breath, "What do you want to do? Weren't you here to repair your knife?"

His voice was loud, and Jiang Jiu covered his mouth again.

"Don't shout." Jiang Jiu's expression was very serious at this moment, his eyes shining with a strong sense of justice, kindness, and earnestness: "Where is the hot spring?"

Seeing Jiang Jiu's serious and solemn expression and gaze, the members of the Hidden Team immediately tensed up.

"Over there." He pointed in a direction. "What's wrong? Did you find something?"

"Shh, don't make a sound. You can just go back like this. I need to go that way," Jiang Jiu said seriously.

The members of the Hidden Team took Jiang Jiu's opinion very seriously, and cautiously backed away while looking ahead, afraid that some ghost might suddenly jump out and attack him.

After the members left, Jiang Jiu used his superb footwork to evade the eyes of the swordsmiths, making himself unnoticed by anyone.

As they drew closer to the hot spring, Jiang Jiu's gaze grew increasingly earnest.

There was a small grove of trees in front of the hot spring. Jiang Jiu was extremely careful, trying not to make a sound, much more so than when he was practicing his breathing techniques.

"Don't step on the grass, stay away."

"Hmm, the wind is picking up. Let's take another step forward with the help of the wind."

"That was close, I almost stepped on a tree branch."

And so, he moved forward step by step, getting closer and closer to the hot spring.

The closer he got, the more nervous he became, and the more serious his expression became.

The short journey took Jiang Jiu a full ten minutes, and you have to understand that he is a pillar!

It is a pillar that is even more powerful than the Upper Moon.

Normally, he could cover this distance in a dozen seconds.

It's easy to imagine how nervous he must have been to be so cautious about what he was facing.
