Chapter 189 Spider Mountain (1)
Chapter 189 Spider Mountain (1)
A loud noise echoed through the forest, and Youzhilang was leading a group of people running through the forest.
"Ah, you guys, you guys still haven't told me what holding your head high and having good fortune in martial arts mean!"
Inosuke shouted at the top of his lungs, insisting on finding out the meaning of these two words.
"This crazy pig is so ignorant that it's ridiculous!" Xuan Mi muttered helplessly, not wanting to pay any attention to this guy at all.
This sentence resonated with everyone, and they nodded in agreement.
However, the kind-hearted Tanjiro couldn't bear to watch it any longer. He continued walking forward while patiently explaining:
"Inosuke, holding your head high means standing firm in your position and doing the right thing without shame in that position.
"Good luck in military affairs" is the blessing from Granny Nezuko to us, hoping that we can be safe and sound."
Hearing this, Inosuke scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Standpoint? What is a stance?
And what does it mean to not be ashamed?
And what is this prayer...”
He kept asking questions like a curious little pig.
Tanjiro suddenly felt a headache. When he explained one word, more words that needed to be explained popped up. This would go on endlessly. The knowledge that his father taught him was not enough.
Kanao rarely saw Tanjiro looking embarrassed, so she couldn't help but smile, which stunned Tanjiro and he didn't hear Inosuke's questions at all.
Finally, it was Ichiro who spoke. He frowned and looked at Inosuke, and said with a hint of helplessness in his tone:
"You better stop asking. I think you can go study with Brother Hui Liya when you have time!"
Ichiro was speechless about this junior fellow apprentice. Although Inosuke performed well in other aspects, he had never received a formal education because he grew up in the mountains. He did not even have the basic reading ability.
If the old man hadn't taught him some poetry, Inosuke would probably have trouble even speaking.
Before, they didn't realize this and just thought Inosuke was always noisy.
However, now he suddenly discovered that when he encountered some words that required a certain amount of knowledge to understand, Inosuke was simply unable to understand the meaning.
Obviously, he suffered a lot because of his lack of cultural knowledge.
After hearing what Ichiro said, Inosuke asked curiously:
"study?
Is it that little guy who goes out every morning and comes back at night, and has to write a lot of things? "
Ichiro thought about it and thought that Inosuke's description was very accurate. Maybe he had witnessed this scene when the action team was away on vacation, so he had such doubts.
He nodded and replied, "Don't call him little guy, he is our real senior brother. If Teacher Xiaodao knew you called him like that, you would definitely be beaten again. But you are right, that is to study."
"Ahahaha, anyway, Feng Xiaodao isn't here, so I'll wait until he catches me. I'm not going to study anymore! It looks so boring, I don't know how the so-called "senior brother" can persist!!"
Youzhilang was also very angry with this guy, and finally thought of his life experience. He didn't want to pay any attention to this ignorant guy and decided to leave it to the teacher.
"So he is the senior brother. If you can do it, you are also the senior brother!"
"Okay, let's stop talking about this. Adjust your breathing and we're speeding up!"
accelerate!accelerate!
Following Youzhilang's order, several people instantly began to breathe heavier and their marching speed increased suddenly!
Being able to speak at such a speed, you're truly a genius!
Sure enough, once the speed was increased, everyone stopped talking nonsense, and the only sound left was the rhythmic breathing and the whistling wind.
……
At night, the hazy moonlight makes the night even darker.
After several days of hard travel, Yuichiro and his companions finally arrived at the edge of the so-called Spider Mountain.
"Wait! Can you wait a moment?" Suddenly, Zenitsu's anxious voice came from the team.
The team also stopped because of this sudden change.
"What's wrong Zenitsu? What did you find?"
As the captain, Ichiro looked at Zenitsu with concern and asked.
Zenitsu suddenly sat down on the ground with his hands on his knees, and said tremblingly:
"It's so scary. I felt particularly terrified as I approached my destination!"
"Why is this guy sitting down? Hey, you're really annoying..." Inosuke, who had a hot temper, got angry immediately.
"Why don't we knock this guy out and let Zenitsu come out instead? I would rather be chased and beaten than be delayed here because of this!!" Xuan Mi, who also had a bad temper, was the second to make a suggestion.
"Stop arguing!" Yuichiro scolded, "Since Zenitsu sensed danger, it means there is indeed a problem ahead. Let's rest here first."
When Inosuke and Xuanya heard what Ichiro said, although they were unwilling, they had no choice but to obey.
At this time, Zenitsu was still sitting on the ground, his body shaking constantly.
Yuichiro walked towards Zenitsu, squatted down, and asked softly: "Zenitsu, what do you feel?"
Zenitsu raised his head and said palely: "I can't explain it clearly, but I just have a very strong fear, as if there is danger everywhere!"
Yuichiro looked at Zenitsu and thought to himself that this was a bit too much. Was Zenitsu's timid character acting up again? So he consoled him:
"Zenitsu, I know you are very timid, but you are the junior apprentice of Master Daozhu. Moreover, even if you faint in danger, there is another Zenitsu who can protect you, so you don't have to be so scared. Do you really want to live like this for the rest of your life?"
"I... I don't want to be like this either! But I really feel scared, and my legs are uncontrollably weak!" Zenitsu said in a crying voice.
Yuichiro patted Zenitsu on the shoulder and said, "Learn to take deep breaths. Maybe taking a break can help... There are still many teammates waiting for us to rescue them. We can't afford to waste time..."
At this time, Tanjiro did not comfort and encourage Zenitsu as he did in the past, because Tanjiro and Zenitsu had more contact and communication, and although Zenitsu was sometimes very timid, his perception of danger was indeed very accurate.
So he began to observe the surrounding environment carefully, but because it was dim at night, it became more difficult to observe in the dark, so Tanjiro closed his eyes and began to perceive with his natural sense of smell.
"Tanjiro, did you find anything?" Kanao suddenly came to Tanjiro and asked.
"Not yet, but I believe in Zenitsu, and I also feel something is wrong!" Tanjiro said, opening his eyes.
It seemed that God was also favoring Tanjiro, and the hazy moonlight was blown away by a gust of wind.
The vision became much brighter, and an inconspicuous flash instantly caught Tanjiro's attention, so Tanjiro ran over directly, staring at the flash.
Kanao didn't know what Tanjiro had discovered, so she followed him to check it out.
"Captain Yuichiro, come here quickly! We've found something!"
Tanjiro's shout instantly attracted everyone's attention, and Ichiro and a few others hurried over.
Even Zenitsu was frightened and quickly crawled over.
