Half a year passed in a flash, and it was summer. On the foggy Narrow Mt. Narrow, a hazy figure was moving through the fog.
Whoosh whoosh!
As the figure held onto the tree trunk in front of him and jumped lightly, he climbed over and at least dozens of arrows fell on the place where he had just run behind him.
Boom!
When a pair of cloth shoes was about to touch the thin rope wrapped between the stone and the bamboo pole, it paused slightly and then kicked over the invisible thin rope. Unexpectedly, the thin rope broke in advance and the mechanism was triggered in advance.
Snapped!
The bent dark green bamboo stalk straightened instantly, and at the same time, it moved in the opposite direction, hitting the target exactly.
But even though the bamboo hit the figure, there was no feeling of the bamboo touching a real object, it was empty!
"Well, that was a close call."
Tanjiro patted his chest and looked back to see Takeko behind him, a little frightened.
The teacher is so cunning. Not to mention that the thin rope used to tie the mechanism smells like bamboo, the real control mechanism is actually the hair on the thin rope. Who can notice this?
Fortunately, I knew the Sun Phantom and avoided the attack.
"I will definitely pass today's final exam!"
Tanjiro encouraged himself in his heart, then continued running down the mountain with his katana.
Today is Tanjiro's biannual graduation exam, and the content of the exam is still to run down Mt. Sagiri, but this time the exam content is different from his usual training. Teacher Urokodaki requires Tanjiro to go down the mountain without any injury. Under the dual effects of the doubled mechanisms on this mountain and the turned on Hundred Suffering Timer, Tanjiro must ensure that he runs down the mountain without any injury.
The exam is difficult. Tanjiro has been running around Mount Sagiri for half a year, so he is naturally very clear about the difficulty of the exam content. Once the [Hundred Suffering Timer] is turned on, no one knows what will happen.
Tanjiro remembered it very clearly. Two months ago, when he had just started to extend the bad luck time to forty-five minutes, a meteorite fell from the sky and hit Mt. Xiawu. The powerful shock wave blew away half of the mountain, including him. Then the [Hundred Suffering Timer] was activated one after another. All the traps that were swept by the meteorite shock wave were activated at this moment. Tanjiro was pierced into a hedgehog on the spot by the flying arrows. At the same time, that was the first time that Tanjiro experienced the pain of being completely blind.
An arrow flew horizontally, and although Tanjiro tried his best to dodge, the arrow's tip still scratched his eye. He was able to run down the mountain in the second half only relying on his nose to guide the way.
If it weren't for Nobita's potion, Tanjiro wouldn't dare to think about how he would avenge his mother and his brothers and sisters in the future.
How can a blind man who can't see anything kill ghosts and take revenge? ...
"We're almost there, almost there, we'll be leaving Narrow Mist Mountain soon!"
Tanjiro stepped over the hidden pit in front of him, drew out the katana from his waist when he jumped into the air, used the strength of his waist to drive his whole body, turned his body forcefully, and used the blade to chop off the flying arrow before landing gracefully. He did not stop at all and continued to run forward.
Tanjiro didn't dare to stay and rest there. The Hundred Suffering Timer would not stop just because he was tired and wanted to rest. If the misfortune attack did not come when the time came, it meant that a very big disaster was waiting for him ahead.
It is better to endure small suffering than great suffering.
Compared with meteorite attacks, small traps like arrows and traps are not worth mentioning at all.
Arrived!
Arrived!
Coming!
Tanjiro, who was traveling through the woods, was very happy when he found a ray of light among the fog in front of him, which meant that the end was just around the corner.
Swish!
Tanjiro, wearing a haori with a pine pattern, held a sword in one hand and flipped with the other, and with both hands protecting his head, he rushed out of the woods, bringing up countless leaves.
After leaving the area of Sagiri Mountain, thick air came in and quickly rushed into Tanjiro's nasal cavity and lungs. He knew that he was out!
The air in the area of Sagiri Mountain is very thin, and only at the foot of the mountain is the air concentration relatively high.
As far as he could see, Tanjiro saw an old man wearing a Tengu mask drinking tea with a straw, and a young man in a dark blue kimono eating pastries next to him.
"Master Urokodaki, Nobita, I've completed my exam!"
Tanjiro excitedly ran towards Nobita and Urokodaki, waving his hands as he ran to express his excitement.
Click!
Just as Tanjiro ran within three meters of where Nobita and the others were, he stepped on something and heard the sound of a mechanism being activated under his feet.
"Teacher, Nobita, you can't..."
Tanjiro's expression froze on his face. Teacher Urokodaki never said that there would be more tests after they came down the mountain?
Whoosh!
"Oh~~~~"
A fist-sized stone fell to the ground. Tanjiro clamped his legs together and knelt directly on the ground. The severe pain made him unable to get up. He could only hold the future of the Kamado family with his hands, hoping to relieve the pain.
"Tanjiro, let me teach you another lesson. Don't take things lightly before they are completely settled."
Nobita stood up and threw the kettle beside him in front of Tanjiro.
Tanjiro hurriedly unscrewed the kettle and drank the water in the kettle with shivering hands. Only then did the severe pain in his crotch disappear and he was able to stand up.
"I... I understand your lesson. But does that mean I failed the test this time?" Tanjiro felt a little disappointed. He didn't expect that after preparing for the exam for half a year, he failed at the last moment.
"Don't be so quick to deny yourself, old man, what do you think?" Nobita turned to look at Urokodaki beside him.
Old man Urokodaki came to Tanjiro, patted the boy on the shoulder, and said softly: "Tanjiro, although you made a mistake in the end, the merits outweigh the flaws. You have already left Sagiri Mountain, and you have passed my test, so you have passed this time. Remember to be careful next time. When fighting evil spirits, there will always be accidents. If you take it lightly, this time it will not be stone, but demon claws or blood demon arts."
"Yes, Mr. Urokodaki!"
Tanjiro nodded excitedly, his hope rekindled.
Being able to move on to the next project means he is one step closer to killing the ghost.
"Okay, go and have a rest. You don't need to practice swords today. Nobita prepared Sukiyaki for you. Go back and eat it."
Old man Urokodaki signaled Tanjiro to go back to eat, while he sat in the rocking chair and discussed the content of the next training with Nobita.
Nobita: "Come to think of it, old man, Tanjiro is really amazing. You can't even last five minutes on the [Hundred Suffering Timer], but he can last forty-five minutes."
Urokodaki: "Yes, every generation has its own talented people. I am old now, and the world will be ruled by the young people. I hope Tanjiro can hold on to the next training."
Tanjiro: “…”
No, this [Hundred Suffering Timer], Mr. Urokotaki, you can’t even last five minutes, and you want me to last until forty-five minutes?
After hearing what the two bastards said, Tanjiro hated that he didn't have enough swear words.
By the way, Tanjiro's good impression of his teacher, Urokodaki Sakonji, who was gentle and kind, was also shattered.
I actually smelled a gentle scent from old man Urokotaki. My nose must be broken.
That's right, it's broken!
Tanjiro, distrusting his own sense of smell, went back to eat, leaving the old man and the young boy there to discuss how to deal with the situation next...and train Tanjiro!
Chapter 320: Mock Exam at Niugui Mountain
Beast!
This is the best comment Tanjiro could think of for Nobita.
After the physical training, although Tanjiro still had to go through the torture of the [Hundred Pain Timer] every day, compared to the three rounds of disaster attacks, only half an hour of disaster time was really too easy.
But what made Tanjiro grit his teeth at Nobita was the subsequent training.
According to Master Urokodaki's intention, Master Urokodaki would lead Nobita to practice swordsmanship for the next six months, but Nobita intervened and said something like "You have to be beaten before you learn to kill demons" and "Water Breathing is mainly defensive breathing", so before he learns to defend himself 100%, he has to be beaten first.
At first, Tanjiro didn't understand what Nobita meant by getting beaten first, until he saw three people dressed exactly like Master Urokodaki.
According to Nobita, Urokodaki is already very old, his physical fitness can no longer keep up with his consciousness, and he is no longer in his prime. It is beyond his ability to train himself, but using a puppet to train him is just right.
Tanjiro: "Nobita, I'm going to Zaoba!"
Looking at the three puppets waving huge wooden sticks rushing towards him, Tanjiro didn't know whether to say a few swear words or not.
They have the same attacking skills as Master Urokodaki, but are stronger and faster than Master Urokodaki, and they have more people. How can they fight?
So on the first day, Tanjiro fell to the ground with a bruised face and no trace of good flesh on his body. "Ugh, damn Nobita, you bastard..."
Tanjiro's tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes, tears flowing into a river.
In the days that followed, Tanjiro spent his days being beaten and being beaten. The three puppets divided the work in an orderly manner and attacked continuously. Tanjiro could block the upper ones but not the lower ones, or withstand the lower ones but not the upper ones. He was beaten like a little fat man every day and was all swollen.
However, Tanjiro also felt that his kendo level was improving rapidly. From being unable to defend in the beginning to being able to occasionally block it and counterattack now, Tanjiro clearly felt that his strength was getting stronger little by little.
"But I still want to kill that bastard Nobita with my forehead!"
Tanjiro waved his sword to block the big wooden stick that was hitting him, and in his mind he kept a record of all the revenges that Nobita had done to him.
……
On the other hand, Tanjiro was busy training in Sagiri Mountain, being hung up and beaten by the puppet every day. On the other hand, Nobita was also not idle. He ran around the Kanto region, capturing those roaming evil spirits and filling them with the examination room in Fujishiko Mountain.
As soon as the prohibition sign was put up, all the evil spirits in the entire island country were brought to the Kanto region. Although more than half of the evil spirits were turned to ashes by the sun on the day the prohibition sign was activated, there were also some lucky evil spirits who were not exposed to the sun, landed safely, and hid in the shadows.
Later, there was a civil war between the evil spirits in the Kanto region and the evil spirits from outside.
Evil ghosts usually live alone, rarely appearing in groups, so the other evil ghosts gathered in the Kanto area soon began to occupy the territory of the Kanto evil ghosts, fighting for food every day and devouring each other, and the bloodiness was comparable to a bloody battle.
Nobita thinks that it is a waste for these ghosts to fight among themselves, and most of the dead are ordinary evil ghosts. In his opinion, these ordinary evil ghosts are the embryos of blood ghost arts. If they are fed more human blood and their instincts are stimulated, maybe some good blood ghost arts seedlings can be found.
So Nobita found Kaito Kagura and asked him to deliver a letter to Ubuyashiki Yoya. The content of the letter was very simple. He hoped that the Ubuyashiki clan could give him a mountain to build a second examination room. The strength of the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen was too weak, and the probability of passing the final assessment was very low, so it would be better to set up a trial field with a lower difficulty, and the swordsmen could come to the second examination room for mock exams.
One more swordsman means one more hope of defeating Muzan!
When Ubuyashiki Yoya saw the last sentence written by Nobita in the letter, he also felt that it made sense. However, he also wrote back to Nobita and said that it would be very difficult to build a second examination room, as not all places could grow such a large area of wisteria flowers. Therefore, even if Nobita wanted to build a second examination room, he would have to prepare a large amount of wisteria flowers first.
Nobita said that Ubuyashiki Yoshiya didn't need to worry about the rest of the matters and just leave everything to him.
Out of trust in Nobita, Ubuyashiki Yoya agreed to Nobita's request, and quickly got Nobita a hill and asked him to create the so-called second examination room.
Ushikiyama is a mountain that Ubuyashiki Yoya found for Nobita. It is said that this place has been famous for the legend of the Ushiki since the Heian period. People often disappear in the mountain, and no one can find them alive or dead.
But according to the records of the Ubuyashiki clan, the rumors about Ushiki Mountain have little to do with the Ushiki. The so-called Ushiki is an evil demon with horns on its head. This evil demon lurked on Ushiki Mountain and devoured countless passers-by from the Heian Period to the Warring States Period. It was not until the Warring States Period that it met a swordsman with stripes on his head and was finally beheaded.
After that, there were no more legends of cattle and ghosts on Gyu-Kui Mountain. However, there were often some weak evil ghosts hiding here to eat people, so the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps came to Gyu-Kui Mountain quite frequently.
With the help of Ubuyashiki Yoya, Nobita's demon breeding farm finally opened.
Yes, Ushioyama is said to be the second examination room, a place used to help the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps take mock exams, but in fact it is a breeding farm where Nobita intends to raise ghosts, to cultivate supernatural ghosts with blood demon arts.
For the next six months, Nobita has been capturing evil spirits in the Kanto region and placing them on his own Ushio-gui mountain covered with wisteria flowers. He keeps the evil spirits in captivity, just like raising a Gu, to cultivate ghosts with special powers.
Thanks to Muzan's orders, the remaining evil spirits kept creating their own kind, so the number of evil spirits caught by Nobita increased rather than decreased. There were at least two thousand evil spirits on Ushio Mountain.
However, in order to prevent Ubuyashiki Kōya from discovering his purpose and sending Kocho Shinobu and other pillars to cause trouble, Nobita let more than a thousand evil spirits live underground, leaving only more than two hundred evil spirits in the mountains, which were used as content for the mock exam of the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen.
Among these two hundred evil ghosts, 80% are small evil ghosts, and the remaining 20% are ghosts with special powers, and they are the kind of ghosts with weak special powers.
Thanks to this second examination room, the pass rate of the Demon Slayer Corps members in the final examination has actually increased a lot, not much, just doubled.
As long as Dio... no, it's the hand demon who is raised by Scaletaki in Fujisaka Mountain, the pass rate will never be too high.
But a pass rate of nearly 50% has already made Ubuyashiki very happy. If possible, he doesn't want to let his childish swordsmen go to die.
So Ubuyashiki Yoya is very grateful to Nobita, even though he has never been able to meet Nobita.
……
That night, Nobita was playing the game of Wisteria Flowers vs. Demons in a cabin at the foot of Ushio Mountain. It was a game in which the player controlled the corpses of demons covered with wisteria flowers to chase the demons in underground caves, forcing them to activate blood demon magic.
Nobita's method of raising ghosts is not like the Demon Slayer Corps, who leave the evil ghosts to fend for themselves on Mount Fuji. He really raises the evil ghosts as livestock, giving them food to stimulate their growth.
The Taisho era was a romantic era, but also an era where money was paramount. Here, if you had money you were the boss and you had everything, so it was not difficult for Nobita to use money to buy human blood and corpses.
There were many corpses of people who died of diseases in the brothels, red-light districts, guild halls, and secret brothels. These were also the places with the most poor people. Nobita only had to spend a few dollars to get a big bucket of the devil's blood, and the supply was in excess of the demand.
Although ordinary blood is not as effective as diluted blood, quantitative change leads to qualitative change. The blood mixed together from hundreds of people is not much different in effect from diluted blood.
As for corpses infected with syphilis, humans might be afraid of them, but as for evil spirits...
Whether it smells good or not, it's all meat in their mouths!
Evil Ghost: Oh my god, let’s do it, brothers!
Back to the topic, when Nobita was driving away the evil spirit, a group of figures suddenly appeared on the surveillance camera nearby.
Nobita counted and found that there were thirty people who came to his Niugui Mountain.
Leading this group of people were two identical-looking little white-haired girls, each with a knot on their head.
These two little lolis are the daughters of Ubuyashiki Yoya and Ubuyashiki Amane. The one with a red knot on the right side of her hair is the eldest daughter Hina, and the one with a yellow knot on the left side of her hair is the second daughter Hika.
The youngest generation of the Ubuyashiki family consisted of quintuplets. When the family head, Mrs. Ubuyashiki Amane, gave birth to quintuplets, even the midwife was shocked.
Among the five children, there are four girls and one boy. The names of the four girls are Hinami, Hika, Honna, and Kanata. The boy is Teriya, who is the future young master Ubuyashiki Teriya. [The black-haired little 'Nanliang' during the final selection]
