Chapter 479: The shadow outside the stove door

text
The starting point of the original "Devil's Blade" is the seemingly insignificant "cat breaks the vase" incident.
The original author's original intention was to logically lead to the biggest plug-in smell of "Zaomen Tanzhijiro", but it turned out that Luo Jie also became the best reference point for judging the progress of the plot.
Of course, this incident itself has nothing to do with the follow-up incident of "Zao Men Jia Ru Men".
In the original storyline, the selling of charcoal was not very smooth. The charcoal brought down the mountain was not sold until the sky was dark. Due to the rumors that the town would be attacked by ghosts at night, he did not. Hurrying overnight, staying at the home of a kind uncle.
Because of such an episode, "Zaomen Tanjiro" escaped by coincidence.
When another shadow crow brought back the image of "Zaomen Tanzhilang" from the host town, Luo Jie did not release the crow again, looked up at the sunset with only the afterglow to the west, and walked out from the gate of the house straight to the distance The forest walked.
Actually he doesn't have to go so early.
In the original book, "Zaomen Tanjiro" went home early in the morning and found that his family had been attacked by ghosts. Only six of his family members were his sister "Zaomen Shaodou" and his body temperature.
This shows that the ghost appeared very late and did not find and attacked the stove door family until dawn.
But Luo Jie had his own plans.
It doesn't matter if he is hypocritical, or if he has many things to do, since he came to this world and knew the family of the stove door, he always wanted to do something to change the cruel fate of this kind and simple family.
This idea became stronger and stronger in Luo Jie's heart especially after "Zaomen Tanjiro" taught him "Fire God Kagura" without doubt.
He never thought of going against the will of the world and forcibly changing the main plot.
"Zaomen Shaodouzi" must become a ghost, and "Zaomen Tanjiro" must also join the ghost killing team.
But at least, he hopes that under this premise, he can save the other people who died in the stove door, even if he could live one more.
...
When Luo Jie arrived near the stove door, it was completely dark.
A little dim oil light shines through the gaps in the wooden planks of the wall of the kitchen of the kitchen door, the humming sounds of "Huako" and "Mao", the cry of "Liu Tai", the sound of "pea beans" coaxing the children to sing, The windy winter night forest adds a touch of warmth.
Luo Jie roughly estimated the distance, and dug a snow den under a tree more than ten meters outside the wooden house of Zaomen House.
He was not afraid of the cold on the mountain, but the creature like a ghost was very sensitive to the smell of living people, and he had to minimize the smell of himself as much as possible.
Otherwise, the ghost finds that there is no ambush, or that he just ran to him first, and then he just made it awkward.
I do not know when the sky began to faint clear snow.
The scattered snowflakes gradually smoothed all the traces on the ground, and even covered the snow nest in Luojie's hiding place with a layer of natural camouflage. At first glance, it seemed as if it was just a snow mound that could not be more common in the mountains and forests.
Luo Jie closed his eyes and reduced some of his physical activities as much as possible.
With vision closed, the body's second largest sensory hearing has become more acute.
He could even hear the sound of burning coals in the wooden house more than ten meters away, and the chatter of the family sitting around the fire pond.
"Sister, haven't you confessed to Mr. Ye Ye?"
Suddenly hearing his name, Luo Jie's ears could not help moving, and he subconsciously shifted a little more into the cabin from watching the surrounding attention.
"Hanako, don't tell me blindly, I ... I didn't ... Mr. Ye Yan ... I didn't ..."
"Sister, you can't be frank, we all saw the safe guard you made for Mr. Ye Yan."
"Ah? How can you even take Takeo ... Mom, you don't care about them! See what Takeo and Hanako look like!"
"Okay, okay, the beans are blushing, so you two don't have to make fun of your sister."
"Haha, my sister is shy!"
Luo Jie smiled when he heard this, and regained his distracted attention.
...
The wind and snow in the mountains and forests never stopped, and the lights at the stove door were not known when it had gone out.
Luo Jie lay quietly in the snow nest, monitoring the movement of the outside world through sound and vibration of the ground.
His mental strength at this moment has reached 1500 points, more than 100 points before entering the fantasy, let alone sleepless overnight, even if the liver burst continuously for several days is not a problem.
Time goes by bit by bit, slowly but never stop.
The heavy snowfall ceased all night, and the mountains covered with silver became quieter, and reached the darkest moment before dawn.
Suddenly, a bit clearly different from the heavy footsteps of the beast, it passed into the ears of Luo Jie's ears without any concealment.
Luo Jie opened his eyes fiercely.
Through the bright reflections of the snow, I saw a black figure of a human figure appearing in the woods not far away, and could still smell a smell that had not yet disappeared.
It's a ghost!
The "ghost" of country j and the "ghost" of dragon country are two completely different concepts.
As we all know, there is no such thing as a "ghost" in the Dragon Kingdom. Most of the so-called "ghosts" are people who pretend to be ghosts or have spiritual problems.
The "ghost" in country j generally refers to some kind of humanoid monster that resembles a mountain spirit, and most of them have a pair of sharp corners.
The "ghost" in "Devil's Blade" is different from any of the above. It is closer to the mix of western vampires and country j ghosts.
Since it has the habit of eating ghosts in country j, and at the same time it has the western vampires' fear of the sun, they can use their own blood to create the signature characteristics of bloodlines.
The best of them will also have a special ability called "blood ghost", strange and extremely difficult.
The original book never mentioned what the ghost who killed the Zaomen family looked like. Anyway, "Zaomen Tanjiro" saw the whole family neatly as soon as he returned home, only his sister "Zaomen Shaodouzi". There was a faint breath.
Therefore, Luo Jie could not know the strength of this ghost that has never appeared in the original.
If it is the level of the "lower string" in the Twelve Ghost Moons, there is still a battle, but if it is "upper string", with his current strength, I am afraid that he can only give up the plan to save the stove door family, how far to run.
After a while, the ghost approached the stove's wooden house.
Through the snow reflections, Luo Jie also clearly saw the appearance of this ghost.
This is just the most common ghost with ragged clothes and thin bones. If it were not for the iconic sharp fangs and nails, it would look more like a downcast tramp in the street.
Seeing this situation, Luo Jie was slightly relieved.
The ghosts in the original work of "Ghost Extermination Sword" are divided into four classes.
The first level is the original ghost, "Ghost Dance, No Misery". All the ghosts in country j are his direct or indirect descendants.
The second level is "Twelve Ghost Moons".
These are the twelve strongest ghosts who have been given the blood of "Ghost Dance, No Misery". The number is fixed but the personnel are not fixed. Once there is death, they will find new potential ghosts to fill the gap.
The third level is the ghosts that the Twelve Ghost Moons intentionally or inadvertently made with their own blood. , Belongs to the backbone of the ghost clan.
The fourth level was created by the third level ghost blood.
This kind of can also be called a "ghost", except for its strength and immortality, there is almost nothing to praise, and its intelligence is also very problematic. It is a bloodthirsty cannibal.
Generally speaking, the fourth level ghost is the limit here. After all, the concentration of "primitive blood" in this level is not enough to create new ghosts.
It is for this reason that the world of "The Blade of Ghost Extermination" has been dominated by human beings for thousands of years, and has not been occupied by "Ghost Dance" and his blood.
The one in front of it is obviously a lowest-ranking "Ghost".
