The White-haired Sword Master's Path to Immortality

Chapter 183 Apprenticeship

After catching the Crow Tengu and giving her a harsh lesson, Kazuhime Ashina's life finally became peaceful again.

Sitting in the house, occasionally making some fragrant tea, eating some melon seeds and so on, it is really a rare and beautiful time.

Oh, if you ask where the melon seeds in Kazuhime Ashina's hand come from, of course they are harvested from the sunflower field, which is considered a special treat only for Kazuhime Ashina.

She was the only monster who dared to ask Kazami Yuuka to fry some melon seeds in Gensokyo.

After drinking all the jujube tea in the cup, Kazuhime Ashina caught a glimpse of the two monsters that suddenly appeared next to her.

They were the very familiar Murasaki Yakumo, and an undead monster with whom she had no clear relationship now, Yuyuko.

As the saying goes, no matter what happens, go to the Three Treasures Palace. These two guys will basically not come to her place to hang out except for a meal.

There must be something wrong if you suddenly come here at this moment.

So Kazuhime Ashina asked the two of them straightforward questions.

"What's the matter?"

When the two monsters heard this, their eyes fell on a half-grown girl hiding behind them.

Ashina Kazuhime followed the two people's gaze downwards, and then discovered that behind the two big monsters, there was actually a little girl who was probably only five years old hiding.

She has silver hair, wears a green skirt, and is followed by an oval-shaped ghost similar to one in cartoons. (The kind that the original god Walnut Hall master caught)

Ashina Kazuhime raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at the two of them with a slightly strange look.

Immediately she made a teasing joke

"When did you two have a daughter?"

Yakumo Murasaki was not angry when she heard this, but explained to Kazuhime Ashina with a calm expression.

"This little girl belongs to a special race similar to half-demon. Her grandfather was originally teaching swordsmanship, but after knowing that we both knew you, he left because it would be better if you could teach her. Haven't come back yet.

so...."

"So, you two guys really came to see me?"

Ashina Kazuhime looked at the little girl up and down, trying to find some familiar smell on her body, so as to determine who the little girl's grandfather Yakumo Purple was talking about.

But after careful observation, she found that she was not familiar with this little girl at all, and couldn't help but think about the two of them and ask questions.

"Are you sure that I know her grandfather, or are you sure that I have met his grandfather?"

Kazuhime Ashina couldn't help but ask, after all... although she has been in this world for a long time, her range of activities is not far away, and the people she knows are basically big demons like Yakumo Murasaki.

As for the male characters, they are only human beings in the human world. Hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye, and most of them are now a handful of loess.

Since this little girl's grandfather knows her swordsmanship, he must know her.

But I don't know him. It's strange. It's really strange.

"Of course you know him. Not only do you know him, you brought him back."

What did I bring back?

Ashina Kazuhime was even more confused when she heard this. She tried hard to search the memory in her mind but still found nothing.

"So that person is...?"

"Jiro Hirata, of course her name is no longer that, but... Soul Demon Ji."

"Jiro Hirata," Ashina Kazuhime murmured to herself, and immediately remembered the young man who risked his own life to pursue the extraordinary path.

Speaking of which, the kitchen utensils used in the kitchen now were made by that guy. Who would have thought that after hundreds of years, has she grown to a level where she can interact with the great monsters?

She thought that guy had died of old age.

After all, the lifespan of human beings at this moment is too short in her eyes. Hundreds of years have passed just by "blinking", and her view of time has also unknowingly become the same as that of monsters.

"But I remember that guy is a human being. Why did her granddaughter become like this? Could it be that she was the offspring of a union with some inhuman being."

Kazuhime Ashina seemed to suddenly remember something and then asked Yakumo Murasaki.

Yakumo Zi heard this and shook her head.

"You know, once the humans in this world die, they will be refined by the laws of heaven and earth and become meaningless ghosts who have lost their intelligence and memory. In theory, all ordinary humans will be like this.

But even with precise rules, it is impossible to achieve complete leak-free results.

Some powerful humans, or humans with special abilities, may not be thoroughly refined and retain their memories and abilities during their lives. Her grandfather became such a being after his death, half spirit, half human, intermediary. Between life and death.

In a sense, her grandfather has transcended humans through his own efforts and turned into an inhuman existence.

And her descendants naturally inherited this ability in the same way, possessing the characteristics of half human and half spirit. "

"That's it"

Hearing this, Ashina Kazuki turned her attention to the little girl who was still hiding behind Yuyuko.

After looking at it for a while, she shook her head.

"She is too soft-tempered to be a swordsman, so she might as well not let me accept her as a disciple."

Ashina Kazuhime said this to the two great demons.

But after hearing Kazuhime Ashina's words, the timid girl who had been hiding behind Yuyuko since she came here actually walked out from behind Yuyuko tremblingly at this moment, and used a pair of watery light blue His lustful eyes stared at Kazuhime Ashina's eyes.

That look seemed to be saying

"I'm not soft-tempered, you're talking nonsense."

"Oh~"

Ashina Kazuhime was very interested. A pair of pure white vertical eyes gradually lit up with a faint white light at this moment. The sharp sword intention began to penetrate the body, as piercing as a sharp needle. Ordinary people would just take a glance at it. You will feel dizzy, your eyes will sting, and you will feel scared and frightened.

But as if to prove that Ashina Kazuhime's previous conclusion was wrong, the little girl just stared at Ashina Kazuhime. Even though her eyes were bloodshot and her tears were dripping uncontrollably, she did not stop. Look away.

The lips she bit lightly gradually began to overflow with blood. However, Ashina Kazuhime's sword intent became more and more terrifying, and she showed no intention of restraining herself just because the person in front of her was a little girl.

The two big demons just looked at the trembling girl with cold eyes, and had no intention of stopping Ashina Kazuhime.

The gentleness of monsters has always been different from that of humans, and the concept of life of monsters is completely inconsistent with that of humans.

The demon world is a world where the weak eat the strong, and the same is true for Gensokyo.

Even though Gensokyo is branded as the last pure land of monsters, it is still the monster world, a world where the weak and the strong eat the strong. Here... strength is the most important thing, and everything else must be delayed.

If you want to gain strength and become a disciple of this unparalleled swordsman, you must go through a test.
