"Tomioka... brother?"
That figure is Yoshiyuki Shuizhu Tomioka.
Ling You was actually surprised at the sudden arrival of Tomioka Yiyong. After all, Tomioka Yiyong looks like a non-cannibalistic firework. Although he is his junior, it does not represent Tomioka. Yiyong will visit him for this reason.
Moreover, your injury has healed a long time ago, so you have to come early.
"Come out," Fugang Yiyong said lightly, staring at Ling You indifferently.
Afterwards, Ling You led by Tomioka Yiyong to a forest on the back mountain of the headquarters.
"Brother Fugang, what are you going to do?" Seeing Fugang Yiyong brought himself to such a place, Ling You couldn't help asking in confusion.
Without answering Ling You's question, Tomioka Yiyong walked to a big tree, and only slowly said after a long time, "I want you to take my place."
Upon hearing this, Ling You was taken aback for a moment: "What do you mean?"
"The position of my water column was not mine originally." With his back to Ling You, Tomioka Yoshiyong's tone rarely noticed a trace of mood swings.
"This position should have belonged to the rabbit."
"Rabbit? Who is it?" Ling You asked, looking at Tomioka Yoshiyong who looked up at the sky.
After a moment of silence, Tomioka Yoshiyori slowly said: "Sintu, he is your senior, just like me and you, both are the disciples of Master Lintaki."
"He is in the same class. I went to participate in the final selection with him back then. At the beginning, I was knocked out by ghosts because of my weak strength. Chentu handed me over to other people who participated in the final selection. In the next seven days, almost all the ghosts on Fujiki Mountain were killed."
Hearing this, Ling You couldn't help but complain: "???? Isn't he just me?"
"Because the rabbit killed most of the ghosts, the number of people who passed the final selection in that session was much higher than in previous sessions."
With that, Tomioka Yoshiyuki's eyes suddenly dimmed.
"However, the sword in his hand became blunt because the rabbit had hacked and killed the ghost for seven consecutive days. On the last day, he died in the hand of the ghost. And I woke up after seven days of sleep and found that I had already Passed the selection, and none of the ghosts were killed."
"Later, I became a water column, no, or temporarily replaced the rabbit as a water column. I always thought that I was not qualified to stand with other columns, so I didn't like to communicate with them."
"So, I hope you can replace me. Although you are not using water breath, you can still replace me in name."
Having said this, Tomioka Yiyong finally turned around and looked at Ling You, with a hint of prayer in his eyes.
However, Ling You did not answer him head-on, instead he laughed and said, "Hahaha, no, Brother Fugang, you stayed like this because of this kind of thing. I thought you were really cold. It."
He patted him on the shoulder, and Ling You continued: "Brother Fugang, actually, I really don’t think you need to be like this. Think about it, Brother Cattu used your life in exchange for you to pass the final selection, and you Become a column of water, but think that he is not worthy to sit in this position."
"But have you ever thought about it? With so many people who passed the final selection in the same class as you, why only you became the pillar?"
"You think you are very weak and you don't deserve to be a water column. What kind of illusion makes you so humble? If you are not qualified to sit in the water column, then who else is qualified? "
"If you want me to say, you should continue to be the water column, I will not take your place."
"But..." Hearing Ling You's rejection of his request, Tomioka Yiyong was about to speak but was interrupted by Ling You.
"It's nothing, if you didn't have Senior Brother Cattu, you would definitely die in Fujitsu Mountain with your strength at the time, so we can say reversely that Senior Brother Cattu saved your life."
"Think about it from another angle. You are so young now, and I took your place. What are you going to do? Older like Lin Taki... Will you be an educator like Master Lin Taki? Don’t be ridiculous, just like you. What kind of bird is bred."
"If you really feel guilty for the death of Brother Cintu, then you will be guilty for the rest of your life, be a water column for a lifetime, and then kill the ghosts for a lifetime, and live your life with apology to Brother Cintu, because you owe him Brother Rabbit's things will last a lifetime."
After speaking, Ling You didn't care whether Tomioka Yiyong listened, and left the woods without looking back.
On the spot, Yoshiyuki Tomioka froze for a while, and it was not until a long time later that he looked at his left half of Haori.
"Rabbit, I understand."
Absolute determination appeared in his eyes, and the figure of Yoshiyuki Tomioka also disappeared in place in an instant.
...
On the other side, Ling You, who had left the woods, returned to the butterfly house, but did not stay too much this time. After explaining a few words to Xiaokui, he left the ghost killing team headquarters.
"The Hirotaka has been delivered today, and Tanjirou's naive man should have already begun the task of killing ghosts."
Seeing the setting sun gradually falling, Ling You slowly said, but he was a little bit worried about his naïve junior.
"Go back and see Old Man Rin Taki first."
Although Tanjiro was thinking of Tanjirou in his heart, Lingyou decided to go back to Sagiri Mountain first, after all, Rin Takiza Kinji didn't even know that he became a pillar.
...
In the evening, Ling You returned to the cabin in Xiawu Mountain.
"So that's how you are appointed by the Lord Lord to be Chuan Zhu, and you also defeated the Pillar of Wind, are you really amazing?"
In the wooden house, Lin Takizao, who was sitting opposite Ling You, said slowly, that he loved and hated this disciple in his heart.
Love, because Ling You was too good, passed the final selection unscathed, not to mention, he was appointed as a pillar on the second day of becoming a member of the ghost killing team. This has never happened before. thing.
I hate it because Ling You always seems to be extremely lazy and foolish, even a little arrogant, indifferent to anything, and doesn't like to respect the teacher, such as him.
It is estimated that Rin Taki and Tanjiro are the only things that can make him worry.
Because Tanjiro had already got the Sunwheel Sword and went out to pick up the task, Ling You didn't leave that night, but stayed in the wooden house for one night, and only recently said goodbye to Rin Takizao at dawn the next day.
