Master Blacksmith in the Blade of Demon Slayer

"There is a big family in the town. They have existed since the Warring States Period. They dominate everything in this town!"

The old lady’s eyes fell into thoughts and memories: “The prosperity of the small town is actually due to their efforts, otherwise, many people will die in the famine years, and many people will die under cruelty. However, nothing can be done. The family that has always existed, no matter how powerful, has a moment of decline. A few years ago, their family completely declined, and many people died. They also gradually disappeared from everyone’s sight in the town. But, how many Months ago, they reappeared. At the same time, darkness fell..."

The old lady speaks well, and Tie Zhi Cangsuke thought that she had probably read books.

As she talked about it, Tie Zhi Cangsuke quickly understood the whole story.

In short, a desolate family revived, and in just a few months, almost dominated everything in the town.

No one knows what kind of power they used to rise up, but what can be proved is that this is definitely not an upright power.

Because any family or force that confronted them will eventually disappear silently.

In the end, they re-dominated the town and took over all the right to speak.

People thought that darkness was coming, but they did not expect that this family did not use darkness to dominate here, but was very friendly to them.

The only problem is that since then, people in this small town have often disappeared.

Whenever someone disappears, they will inevitably come out to appease the families of the missing, give wealth and promises, and comfort the families of the missing.

In the beginning, there were naturally unwillingnesses, but they will soon disappear into the darkness.

Even if the police are brought in, under the temptation of huge wealth, and there is no evidence, no one is willing to waste time here, and the matter will not stop.

Afterwards, many people surrendered to the status quo...until the arrival of the foreign merchants turned this matter into a rumor, and eventually attracted Tie Zhi Cangsuke and his party.

Chapter One Hundred and Forty Five

With the old man's intermittent narration, the fog has been completely lifted.

Tetsuno Sōsuke took Sato Ami and left the old man's residence, but he never made any promises.

After leaving the house, Sato Ami asked Tetsu no Sosuke: "What should I do next? Do I need someone to stay here?"

"No need to."

Unexpectedly, Tie Zhi Cangsuke shook his head: "Since this family has already mastered the control of the entire town, I'm afraid the other party already knew about our arrival."

Sato Ami nodded, and she thought about it.

In fact, it's not just that they know it, they always let their group investigate here, and I'm afraid they are also tempting them to their final destination, intentionally or unconsciously.

Otherwise, if you really want to conceal everything completely, it will be difficult for the previous batch of swordsmen to investigate.

And if they didn't want Tie Zhi Cangjie and his party to know this information, even if they found the address, they would never see the old man just now.

With this recognition, the safety of the elderly does not need to be worried.

Immediately called Tetsuno Otani and Taro Kashima, the group returned to the courtyard.

After explaining what will happen in the old man's house, Tetsuno Otani said, "So, we can go straight to our destination?"

This is no longer questionable.

Now that everything has been pointed there, it is natural to find out.

Normally, if there are ghosts in that place, going there during the day is the best choice, just to ask the ghosts out to enjoy the sun.

But in broad daylight, people may not be willing to let them in easily.

Tie Zhi Cangsuke looked at the sky, and finally said: "Leave tonight, but don't give too much time. At three o'clock in the morning, just before dawn, we set off. People are at the deepest moment of sleep at this time. , It is not easy to attract their attention and can be flexible in our actions."

Having said that, Tiezhi Cangsuke said again: "It's just that they may stay up all night, waiting for our arrival."

"Will this be a trap?" Sato Ami frowned: "Want to wait?"

Tie Zhi Cangsuke shook his head: "Can't wait any longer. If we don't go tonight, I'm afraid someone will be missing tomorrow."

"You mean, they are forcing us?" Sato Ami's expression changed.

"How can the snare that has been woven, let us hang around and not enter?"

Tetsuzhi Cangsuke said: "Waiting one more day will cause unnecessary death and injury, so we can't wait."

While speaking, he summoned the crocodile, and then wrote a letter with the pen and paper that Taro Kashima brought, briefly explaining the situation here.

"If we die, the latecomer can at least know where the goal is. It won't turn around for a few laps and give the other party plenty of time to prepare."

Tetsuzhi Cangsuke asked the Crow to send the letter away, and then glanced at the three ghost killing team swordsmen present.

After struggling for a while, I finally realized that there seemed to be nothing left to say, and immediately smiled: "Let’s rest first, take turns at night to prepare for emergencies, and set off immediately when the time is up."

"it is good!"

The three agreed, and Tetsuno Sosuke suggested that he defend the first round first, but was snatched by Kashima Taro.

"You guys have a good rest. Cangsuke came from a long distance and has been running around for a long time. So are you two, so now you are the most tired. You should rest first, and I will rest in the middle of the night."

When Kashima Taro said so, the others had nothing to refute and nodded immediately.

Spreading hay on the ground, Tetsuzhi Cangsuke relied on a sledgehammer and fell asleep the moment he lay down.

He couldn't help but tossing over the pancakes, now that supplementing energy is the most important thing, otherwise it will be difficult to cope with the battle that comes at night.

...

...

When Tetsuzhi Cangsuke woke up again, he happened to be able to see the sky full of stars.

Kashima Taro was standing there, pressing the knife with one hand, always alert to the surrounding situation.

Sitting up from the ground, Tetsuno Sosuke saw that the two people next to him were sleeping soundly, and then carefully stood up and came to Kashima Taro's side.

"You're awake." Kashima Taro heard the noise he pressed against the hay when he sat up, so he was not surprised.

Tie Zhi Cangsuke nodded, "Everything is normal?"

"Yeah." Kashima Taro nodded, then looked at the surrounding darkness and said: "But I always feel that they seem to be hidden around. It seems that in the dark night, there are countless pairs of eyes that are spying here."

"You are frightening yourself." Tie Zhi Cangsuke smiled: "Don't put too much mental pressure on yourself, there is me."

Kashima Taro couldn't laugh or cry for a while, yeah, isn't there still a K-level swordsman sent from above?

Well, really don’t be nervous...

"Don't have such an expression." Tie Zhi Cangsuke curled his lips speechlessly: "I have said it, I am actually very strong."
