Chapter 126: A Life of Sorrow and Disaster - To be revised
This is a very remote place, uninhabited, but full of vitality, with flowers and plants on the ground, it is the resting place of the deceased.
Ji Guoyuan walked towards the center of the flowers and plants with a cold expression, his heart beating constantly, excitement, nervousness, fear, these three emotions kept switching in his mind.
He got closer and closer, getting deeper and deeper, through the weeds and flowers, and came to the center.
Tsugumi Yuichiro suddenly stopped, the sun hanging above his head broke free from the clouds, and its brilliant light covered the earth!
The unique light reflected by the sunlight is reflected in Ji Guoyuan's eyes, a world of white flowers!
The meaning of white roses - purity and romance.
After a while, Ji Guoyuan took that step and walked towards the end of the sea of flowers, and the end of the sea of flowers was a very simple cemetery.
But surrounded by a sea of flowers connected by white roses, it is so sacred!
As soon as Ji Guoyuan arrived at the tomb, he saw that it was a tomb without a tombstone, no name, and looked a little lonely.
"Shi, I'm sorry, I haven't come to see you for a long time..." Ji Guoyuan's eyes were filled with tenderness, and so was his tone.
There is nothing hidden, although it is just a little emotion, it is extremely real.
Ji Guoyuan stretched out his hand and cleared the moss and rootless weeds on the grave. He did it with very light force, as if the grave was a ball of illusory cloud that would dissipate with any force.
Seeing that the weeds were almost cleared, Jigoku Yuichi stopped what he was doing, rubbed his hands, cleaned the mud off his hands, and after a while sat down in front of the grave.
"I remember you once told me what the world would be like a hundred years from now. Would there still be wars, or would it be a prosperous era..."
Jiguo Yuanyi spoke softly, his eyes were full of confusion, but also a little clear. After a long silence, his lips touched and he spoke with apology.
"I saw the world hundreds of years later for you. The wars disappeared, and there was excellent medical care. There were no more epidemics, and the lives of the people were getting better and better. However... the one who brought this prosperity was the Ghost King, who was known as the scourge of the world."
"Is this kind of world good... or is it bad?"
Yuichi Tsugumi knew that there would be no reply, but he really couldn't help but ask, even if he didn't get an answer.
"In this life, I know his life story. Although his body is Muzan Kibutsuji, his soul is not. He is very strange and confused. There are many times when I talk to him and the next second, I can even feel that he suddenly becomes a different person, with a different tone and emotions."
"Sometimes enthusiastic, sometimes indifferent."
Tsugumi Yoshiichi described his experience in his new life in front of the grave. He met the Demon King again, rejoined the Demon Slayer Corps, accepted an apprentice, and then captured the Demon King...
When talking about the embarrassing part, he paused for a moment and concealed a little, then continued speaking, adding some changes in himself towards the Ghost King in his previous life and this life.
In the previous life, Jiguo Yuanyi would come to the tomb to see him almost every now and then. If he saw the Ghost King or encountered the Ghost King, he would come even more often.
When I died in a suburban basilica in my previous life, I came to this tomb to pay my last respects.
He expressed his own understanding and perception of the Ghost King, but without exception, the murderous intent that had grown from the beginning was slowly easing until now.
After a long time, the sun's rays gradually dimmed and were about to be obscured by dark clouds.
As soon as Jiguo Yuanyi raised his head and looked up at the sky, the thoughts in his heart were like a long knife, piercing his heart and causing a dull pain.
"Perhaps I was really born wrong. My family was destroyed because warriors were no longer needed in peacetime. Although I don't think I did anything wrong, I still have regrets in my heart."
"That year, I married you and just wanted to live peacefully with you in this world, but perhaps it was my destiny to attract evil spirits. When I was out looking for medicine, you were killed... killed by a ghost who I now believe was innocent..."
"At that time, I was probably bent on revenge, so I asked the Demon Slayers who were late in following the demons to join the Demon Slayer Corps. But I made a mistake because of my impatience. I turned what I knew into a breathing method and taught them something that shouldn't be seen in the world, which led to the subsequent disaster..."
"That was shortly after he joined the Demon Slayer Corps. When he was out on a mission, my brother was now confronting a demon. But at that time, some factors that arose within him made my brother abandon his family business and join the Demon Slayer Corps."
"I want to prevent that factor from becoming more and more serious, and also to allow my brother to get closer to my level, so as to reduce the influence of that factor."
"I taught them everything I knew. I taught the Demon Slayer Corps all the powerful breathing techniques I knew, but for some reason... no one reached my level."
"At that time, only my elder brother was able to rise to the top, and it was also at that time that he was given the title of Sun and Moon by the current lord."
"I thought this would help my brother resolve his obsession, but I never thought that during an argument, I would end up competing with him."
"In that competition, I wanted to lose to my brother so that he would stop being so crazy. But I never thought that in that competition, I didn't even use one-fifth of my strength and defeated my brother in one move."
"The sun and the moon became a joke among the people. People thought the moon was just the shadow of the sun, so how could it compete with the sun? But I didn't know that at that time... I continued to teach my brother everything I knew."
"But I guess in his eyes, I was just showing off my talent, but I didn't know it."
"Time has changed. The long-term gossip has made my brother's obsession grow instead of diminishing. It was also at that time that the influence of the markings appeared!"
"It turns out that the stripes are just borrowing life from the heavens, reducing their own lifespans to gain all-around strength. Therefore, they are destined to die at the age of 25."
"I was close to collapse after knowing the consequences of the stripes. I never thought that the consequences of my teaching would be like this. I harmed all the members of the Demon Slayer Corps, and even my brother."
"I began to do my best to carry out the mission, and even tried my best to find the Ghost King, hoping to eliminate the disaster and atone for the crime with my own life!"
"But... my misfortune completely broke out that time. My brother became a ghost, and he was very eager to become a ghost."
"My last relative has become a ghost! I only found out about this when I completed my mission and returned to the team. My sanity seemed to have completely collapsed at that time.
"That year, I met the Ghost King. I wanted to chop him into pieces! Chop his flesh and blood into pieces, grind his bones and spread them into ashes!
"But why? I came here with the determination to kill the Demon King, but he influenced me! He made me want to let him go!?"
"It was that absurd thought that led to the subsequent disaster. Not long after letting the Demon King go, my brother turned his sharp sword that was aimed at demons towards the Demon Slayer Corps and killed the current lord, the lord who trusted me and my brother so much! He killed the lord who would even be dismissed from his position as lord but would still ask the members of the Demon Slayer Corps not to punish me for the Stripe Disaster! The lord who still had endless trust in my brother! His head was cut off and presented to the Demon King!"
"That year, in order to atone for my brother's crime and the guilt of letting the Ghost King go, I did not say a word to excuse myself during the Trial of the Pillars. I no longer wanted to live."
"But the lord who took office when I was only six years old at that time dismissed all my death sentences and even wanted me to continue to serve as a pillar. But I no longer have enough trust. I guess except for my good friend Rengoku and the lord at that time, anyone else would hate me."
"I left the Demon Slayer Corps, and I swore to spend my life slaying demons. In that life, I met the Demon King many times, but every time I saw him, and every time I got to know him better, I wanted to kill him less and less. I even wanted to get closer to him..."
"He is like a mystery, attracting me in order to solve it, but in my previous life, I was unable to understand his essence. It was also after those years that I found that when I was 25 years old, I did not die!"
"I remember I laughed at that time, a crazy laugh. I came to your grave and didn't sleep all night. It turned out that I was really a disaster. I was able to survive, but those who activated the Marks could not survive. That kind of self-blame made it impossible for me to sleep peacefully in that life. Every time I fell asleep and entered a dream, I would see those team members who died because of activating the Marks... They were looking at me with jealous, unwilling, and resentful eyes!"
"I wanted to go to the Ten Courts of Hell to plead guilty, thinking that I would never be reborn. But at that time, I had an obsession in my heart that made me not want to die in such a plain way. At least I had to kill the Ghost King and also kill... my brother who became a ghost."
"But at that time, I couldn't see the Ghost King again. He hid himself far away. I couldn't see him anymore. I couldn't find him."
"And after he hid, brother might have thought that I was dead, because of the markings. Although at that time, only Rengoku died because of the markings among the members who still accompanied the pillars, but brother was still not afraid, and led thousands of evil spirits, almost completely annihilating the Demon Slayer Corps!"
"I went to support them immediately, but I was still a step too late. The Demon Slayer Corps risked their lives to bring the lord, who was six years old this year, out of the slaughter. I met the lord at that time. He had grown up, but his eyes were still full of hope. That look made me dare not look directly at him."
"With my help, I brought the lord and the remaining members to my residence to recuperate, and I heard the last disaster of my stay in the Demon Slayer Corps!"
"It turns out that when the Demon Slayer Corps first didn't have the breathing method, they strengthened their bodies to kill demons. At that time, their physical fitness was even enough to fight against evil demons. But since I brought the breathing method, almost all members of the Demon Slayer Corps have abandoned the idea of strengthening their bodies and have been strengthening their breathing methods, thinking that just having the breathing method is enough."
"The only ones who still have some physical strengthening left are me, my brother, and Rengoku. But I left the Demon Slayer Corps, my brother became an enemy, and Rengoku died a few years ago."
"That war in which the demons surrounded the Demon Slayer Corps ended in a disastrous defeat. No matter how strong their breathing techniques were, they could not compete with the demons who possessed infinite physical strength. Moreover, the leader of the demons was his brother, Yan Sheng Ji, who had trained his breathing techniques to the extreme and forged his body to the extreme, and became a demon with endless years and infinite physical strength!"
"I really didn't expect... Even though I left the Demon Slayer Corps and hid far away, I still left the disaster behind!!"
Ji Guoyuan knelt in front of the tomb, his hands tightly grasping his thighs, his body trembling uncontrollably, and his face showed an indescribable emotion.
"I have attracted many disasters in my life, but they have never affected me. Instead, they have affected the people around me."
"Maybe... I really shouldn't exist in this world..."
"It will only bring disaster, it will only bring disgust...
"My life has been full of failures, and I have never done anything right..."
