A crow flew across the sky, and beneath it was an extremely luxurious mansion.

Under the eaves of the mansion, a white figure is sitting on his knees. He is motionless. Just one look at him will give people a very strange feeling.

The crow flying across the sky landed next to the white figure. It kept opening its mouth as if communicating with the other person.

"So that's it," the white figure's mouth curved slightly. He looked up at the sky and whispered to himself, "the boy with the dark red stripes on his forehead, and the girl who can defeat ghosts without using the Nichirin Sword..."

"Will the appearance of the two of them be a sign of changing the situation in the past thousand years?"

...

The next day, Su Yu got up early and found that Jichiro Nishijima and Ahihiko Ishiguro were already preparing breakfast.

Today is the day when they set off to Tengxi Mountain to participate in the final selection, so this breakfast is very rich, and it is the best that Su Yu has eaten in more than a month.

As a retired pillar, even though he has been a trainer for decades, Nishijima Jichiro still receives monthly subsidies from the Demon Slayer Corps, but he rarely uses these subsidies and only works for his apprentices.

I will take it out when I see you off, buy some ingredients and make a sumptuous meal.

"I believe you all know the rules of the final selection." Jichiro Nishijima knelt down on the straw mat and had a final conversation with Su Yu before bidding farewell. "It's about a day's journey eastward from here.

You can reach Tengxi Mountain."

"If you see a large number of wisteria flowers at the foot of the mountain, it means you have found the right place."

Then, Nishijima Jiichiro took out two haori pieces from his back and handed them to Su Yu and Jingu Ruri respectively.

"Thank you very much. If you come back alive, I will definitely bring you the strongest wine from the mountain." Su Yu smiled. He stood up, bowed deeply to Jichiro Nishijima, and then left with Jingu Ruri.

.

They were facing the rising sun and drifting away. Jichiro Nishijima and Amehiko Ishiguro rushed outside the wooden house and watched as their figures disappeared completely.

"That girl named Jingu seems to be very dependent on Su Yu." Ishiguro Yuhiko turned to look at Nishijima Jichiro.

Shen Gong Liuli had not said a word to either of them for more than a month. She was stuck with Su Yu all day long and was extremely dependent on him. She even had to sleep in the same bed every night.

Since all the beds in the wooden house were single beds, in order to solve the crowding problem, Su Yu had to put two beds together to make it more comfortable.

In this regard, Nishijima Jichiro and Ishiguro Amahiko didn't say anything. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the relationship between the two was unusual. If they interfered, they might be accused of being nosy.

"Perhaps for her, Su Yu is the only light in this world that can illuminate her heart."

...

After a day's journey, it was getting dark. Su Yu quickly found the location of Tengxi Mountain based on his memories of participating in the final selection.

"Here... everything is filled with wisteria flowers." Jingu Liuli opened her mouth wide and looked at the scene in front of her in surprise.

From the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, wisteria flowers that will never fade bloom all year round. This method traps ghosts in the mountain so that they cannot go out to harm others. It can also be used as a test question for the final selection.

"Xiaoyu Xiaoyu, do you think I can take the wisteria flowers here to the mountain?" Shen Gong Liuli looked at Su Yu curiously, her eyes shining with light spots like stars.

"Why do you think so? Do you think the wisteria flowers here are beautiful?"

"Hmm, no." Jingu Liuli shook her head, "Aren't ghosts afraid of wisteria flowers? Then I will take them to the mountain to use as amulets. They will definitely be very useful."

Girl, you have really discovered a blind spot, but if there is only a small amount of wisteria flowers, it will only act as a deterrent at best.

All the ghosts in the Vine Attack Mountain are extremely hungry. In order to fill their stomachs, they will even attack directly, so things like wisteria flowers are completely useless.

Don't ask how Su Yu knew it, just ask him if he has tried it, it is a bloody lesson.

"There is no need for this. We already have Nichirin Swords. The wisteria flower will naturally be of less use to us, and it may become a burden to carry it with us."

Both Su Yu and Jingu Ruri are equipped with a Nichirin Sword, but they have been used by others, because only by becoming an official member of the Demon Slayer Corps can they obtain their own Nichirin Sword.

"Oh." Shen Gong Liuli nodded obediently, then stopped thinking about those wisteria flowers and followed Su Yu up the mountain.

The two of them stepped onto a corridor with stairs. At the end of the corridor, they could see a torii gate. When they arrived, they could see more than thirty final selection participants.

Most of the participants were men, and there were not many women at all, so the appearance of Jingu Liuli immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Su Yu, who was traveling with her, naturally became the focus of the audience.

An aura of jealousy spread from the crowd, probably because of his innate markings, so Su Yu could clearly feel this malice.

"It seems like I'm being targeted. If the goal of the final selection is not to survive for seven days but to kill more of the same kind, then I will definitely be surrounded and suppressed as soon as possible."

Su Yu looked around with his eyes. Most of the people here were of average strength, and only a few people could see through it.

According to his prediction, there are only about five people here who can pass the final selection, including him and Jingu Liuli, and it is possible even if only two of them are left.

"Everyone." At this time, two children carrying lanterns and wearing purple kimonos appeared. They looked almost exactly the same. Except for the different colors of their hair and eyes, there was nothing different about them.

"Thank you all for coming to participate in tonight's final selection of the Demon Slayer Team..." they began to introduce matters related to the final selection.

Shen Gong Liuli listened very carefully, while Su Yu behaved more lazily, because he had already memorized all the precautions. Even after so long, the opening ceremony of the final selection was still the same, without any change.

"Surviving seven days in this mountain is the qualification for the final selection."

"Well, I wish you all good luck."

After saying this, more than thirty people on the field rushed to the mountain. Su Yuye Jingu Liuli was no exception, but they didn't act in a hurry, but followed the team slowly.

later.
