Chapter 249: Zhengu's Heart Knot
The pillars began their training, but they started with the He Dao, which was simple and had a strong grip.
Of course, if Wu Guang was present, he might have sneered, after all, the He Dao was the most difficult one.
Even in the original work, they still resorted to trickery, using the collision of two swords, that is, the collision of qi, to barely open the red sword.
Although the He Dao sounds simple, it is actually the most difficult one.
But these people don't know it and are all working hard in secret.
The only case is different for Beimingyu. After all, his weapons are an axe and a ball, and he also has a longer chain, so the proportions are different. Moreover, his strength is very great. If it really is the so-called huge grip strength, he should have achieved it long ago.
After all, when it comes to grip strength, Beimingyu has never been at a disadvantage.
It can even be said that his normal grip strength is already equal to the Insect Pillar's full strength, and even the Snake Pillar's full strength is just a slight effort of his.
Therefore, the key point is not the grip strength, but the energy, how to concentrate the power on the handle and then flow into the blade.
Beimingyu stood there in deep thought, holding an axe and a hammer.
He is also doing his own special training.
As the Insect Pillar, Zhen Gu would naturally not be stupid enough to really try to gain that kind of grip strength. In fact, she is still a patient now.
If there hadn't been so few ghost incidents since the blood mist town incident, she should have retired long ago.
After all, her condition is that her physical foundation has been overdrawn.
In addition, her own power is limited, and she is currently just a figurehead in the Demon Slayer Corps.
So she wasn't like everyone else.
Instead, he came to Shinobu Kocho and Kanae.
Since the two girls had some theoretical knowledge, they naturally wouldn't engage in any grip strength competition.
The two hid in the laboratory, studying Wu Guang's blood and the information provided by a special being.
Zhen Gu came to the laboratory and saw the two sisters busying around and not paying any attention to her.
She scratched her head and decided not to bother him anymore.
She may be the one with the most free time in the Demon Slayer Corps right now.
After all, everyone knows about her situation and won't say anything.
Naturally, Zhen Gu's mood was also very low.
After all, everyone has a goal, but she can only go so far.
Resentment, anger, and shame at one's own incompetence.
In this situation, Zhengu walked aimlessly.
Soon she came to the training ground naturally.
At this moment, Wu Guang was sitting cross-legged on the tree stump with his eyes closed.
She looked at Wu Guang's handsome face.
And skin that is whiter than a woman's.
It’s really sour.
There is no woman who doesn't love beauty. Even if she fights ghosts every day, she still pursues beauty.
Now, no matter in terms of strength or appearance, she has completely lost.
A crushing defeat.
"I really envy you."
Zhen Gu walked into the training ground step by step, looking at Wu Guang, his eyes revealing jealousy and envy, but of course more of helplessness towards himself.
"What do you envy me for? Being defeated by Muzan?" Wu Guang opened his eyes and looked at Zhen Gu, asking with some confusion.
"You can turn into a ghost at night, right?"
"Um"
This is indeed no secret to Zhengu.
"That's great. After becoming a ghost, I can heal any serious injury. Unlike me, I almost died due to a blood deficiency, and ended up with a chronic disease. Although Kanae didn't say it, I probably know that my life span should be greatly reduced."
Zhen Gu sat on the tree stump next to Wu Guang and also crossed her legs on it. However, she did not follow Wu Guang's example by closing her eyes. Instead, she rested her chin on one hand and sat there with a somewhat bored look on her face.
"..."
The atmosphere is silent
Wu Guang didn't know how to comfort the other person, so he opened his eyes and looked at Zhen Gu who was in a daze.
Even though she hadn't yet transformed into a ghost, Wu Guang could still feel the sense of declining energy and blood emanating from the girl's small body.
If the blood of young people is like the sprouts
The girl's blood is like a withered flower,
It has gone into decline.
The girl is only in her twenties, which is the prime of her life, but her skin is dull and she even has some dark circles under her eyes.
His eyes were even a little cloudy.
A twenty-year-old man but with the body of a sixty-year-old.
"You want to become a ghost?"
"..."
Zhen Gu looked at Wu Guang silently, his eyes flickering, but then dimmed again.
"How is it possible? I am a pillar, a pillar that protects the safety of this place. I can't become a ghost, and I can't become a ghost." At the end of the words, the girl's tone was filled with a strong sense of loneliness and responsibility.
Zhengu's life experience is actually not as unfortunate as other pillars.
She was adopted by her master Urokodaki Sakonji before she had any memories. Although she was told that it was the demons who destroyed her entire family, she did not feel deeply about it because, after all, she had no memories at all.
As for ghosts, it was also because she grew up in a family of nurtured people, and slaying ghosts was like a son inheriting his father's business.
When facing death, she is actually not afraid. Even when facing a ghost stronger than herself, she can face it calmly. After all, it is a responsibility and honor.
But when I saw my body gradually deteriorating and becoming powerless, and when I suddenly felt difficulty breathing in the middle of the night, I knew clearly that death was there.
She was still getting closer and closer, out of control, and that was the most torturous thing.
Water drips through stone.
Two years have changed Zhen Gu's thinking, and she is somewhat unwilling to accept this.
Wu Guang looked at Zhen Gu and said in an unprecedented serious tone: "I can turn you into a ghost, a free ghost that is not controlled by Muzan. In the future, you don't need to eat humans, but you need to drink blood."
“……” Zhen Gu looked at Wu Guang, looking at the other's sincere eyes.
For a moment, the words of refusal that were about to come out of her mouth were stuck in her throat.
No matter how many times she mustered up her courage and faith, she couldn't say no.
Because she really couldn't say no.
"Wu Guang...you really know how to bully people." Tears flowed from Zhen Gu's eyes, expressing his unwillingness and despair towards himself.
She couldn't even say no.
She knew her body well, even though she would only tell others that she felt uncomfortable after strenuous exercise.
But in reality, whenever she did strenuous exercise, she would feel weak and dizzy. Even though she was breathing deeply, her body seemed unable to absorb oxygen.
As a swordsman who uses breathing techniques, this is already a fatal problem.
Zhen Gu's tears flowed out uncontrollably as if they were free.
"If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't even know that I was so fragile that I couldn't even lie or cover up. If...if I met Muzan..." Zhengu said with a sob.
Wu Guang just waited quietly.
The girl spent two years alone. Everyone comforted her that it was okay, and she tried her best to act as if it was okay and that she would recover soon.
But...she worked out desperately in private, and was dissuaded by the doctor several times in the end. The doctor even said that if she continued, she might not live to see the age of 25.
Who can understand this despair?
So much so that she almost fell behind on the way to support Wu Guang, and the others even slowed down.
