Chapter 56 Marks
Chapter 56 Marks (3/5)
After searching for so long, Su Mu finally got the address of the "Kitchen Gate" family. He was undoubtedly very excited, as he was one step closer to finding the legendary Blue Spider Lily.
If he could eat the Blue Spider Lily, he could make up for his shortcomings as a demon, get rid of Muzan Kibutsuji's curse, no longer fear sunlight, and no longer have to endure the constant craving for flesh and blood.
Thank you for letting me know.
Suppressing his excitement, Su Mu bid farewell to the old man, then took Kanao's hand and turned to leave.
"Don't you want to rest here for a bit? It's so dark."
The old man kindly offered his advice.
"No."
Su Mu turned around, revealing a gentle smile: "I'll be careful on the road."
After saying that, he carried Kanao on his back, confirmed the direction, and stepped into the darkness where the lights could not reach.
"They're really brave to walk alone at night in this darkness."
Watching Su Mu leave with the child, the old man couldn't help but shake his head. Several years ago, Saburo, who lived near the Kamado family, took his family on a walk at night, and he was the only one who survived. No one knew what he had encountered. The official explanation was that he had encountered a murderer, but at the time, Saburo insisted that he had encountered an evil spirit, but no one believed him.
However, not long after, some people dressed in very special clothes found Saburo. Then, Saburo changed his story, saying that he had encountered a villain instead of a so-called ghost.
The old man didn't believe that ghosts existed in the world; he probably just encountered a thug. But whether it was a ghost or a thug, walking at night was never safe.
Once we get to the vicinity of the stove, will Uncle be able to find the flower he's looking for?
Kanao rested her little head on Su Mu's shoulder, sensing her uncle's excitement, and her mood naturally brightened as well.
"We should be able to find it."
A hint of anticipation also appeared in Su Mu's eyes. Although Demon Slayer did not explicitly mention that blue spider lilies grew here, there were indeed some hints.
Furthermore, both Nezuko and Tanjiro, who was later injected with a large amount of blood by Muzan Kibutsuji and transformed into a new demon king, were able to bask in the sunlight.
If all of this were just a coincidence, it would be too much to believe. He also didn't quite believe that Tanjiro and Nezuko were exceptionally gifted.
Over the centuries, countless demons have been turned into demons by Muzan Kibutsuji, but there has never been a single demon who was an exception.

"We'll definitely find it."
Kanao clenched her fist slightly: "Kanao will definitely be able to help Uncle find the flower he needs."

Su Mu turned his head and glanced at Kanao, a hint of gentleness appearing in his scarlet eyes: "I believe in Kanao."
Carrying Kanao on his back and filled with excitement, Su Mu walked quickly. However, when he reached the foot of the mountain, he stopped and looked up.
In the sky, a crow flapped its wings and landed in front of a house with lights on not far away. An old man opened the window and took a letter from the crow's leg.
Su Mu, carrying Kanao on his back, stood in the darkness, silently watching this scene.
He recognized the old man before him; the old man was the one who had taken in Tanjiro the night before his entire family was killed. It was because of the old man's shelter that Tanjiro was spared the same fate as his family, being brutally murdered by Muzan Kibutsuji. It was also this old man who told Tanjiro that demons existed in this world.
He sniffed the air slightly, and a nauseating smell almost hit him—the smell of wisteria, which ghosts loathe. Clearly, the other party had lit incense and candles containing wisteria to ward off evil spirits during the night.
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
He stood in the darkness, silently watching the old man finish writing a letter, and then release the crow.
His crimson eyes gleamed in the darkness. He stared at the old man for a long time before confirming that there were no signs of training on the old man's body.
Therefore, the other party is clearly not a swordsman from the Demon Slayer Corps responsible for hunting demons.
If I'm not mistaken, the other party should be a hermit who provides logistical support to the Demon Slayer Corps.
Kanao stayed close to her uncle, very obediently, and looked at the flickering light in the distant room just like her uncle, her beautiful pinkish-purple eyes filled with curiosity.
Su Mu watched for a while, and only after the old man turned off and extinguished the candle did he carry Kanao on his back and continue on his way.
As we continued deeper into the mountains, the journey became noticeably more difficult.
However, a road leading into the mountains and forests has clearly been carved out, and in some places it is obvious that it was carved out by man.
He stopped by the roadside and looked at what lay before him. There was a huge blue stone, as big as a house, but it was split in two. Between the two halves was a road that had been built, wide enough for an oxcart to pass through.
Looking at the huge bluestone by the roadside and the smooth marks on it, Su Mu felt as if the huge bluestone had been directly cleaved in two.
A huge bluestone the size of a room was cleaved in two, something that is almost impossible for an ordinary person to do, even for the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps, or even the Pillars.
Su Mu walked up to the bluestone and punched it hard. With his demonic body and powerful strength, he smashed the bluestone, but the dirt on the bluestone just fell down in a rustling sound, and the bluestone did not show any signs of cracking.
It should be noted that with the power of his demonic body, most stones would shatter if he punched them, which shows how hard this bluestone is.
This enormous bluestone appears to have been cut in two.
He looked down at the ground again.
The reason for cutting down such a huge rock seems to be simply to build a road.
"Who is the one?"
Su Mu raised his eyes and looked at the darkness in the distance. On the mountainside further away, a lamp flickered, and the road seemed to lead to the place where the lamp flickered.
"Could it be Tanjuro Kamado?"
Su Mu Nan Nan, a character rarely mentioned in the anime and merely a background character, is actually quite extraordinary. He appears in Tanjiro's flashbacks during his battles with demons.
Furthermore, in some scenes of the anime, the man's forehead is shown to have obvious markings. Combined with the fact that he died of illness at a young age, Su Mu suspected that the man must have activated his markings.
The Demon Slayer Mark first appeared during the era of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, when many swordsmen using the Breath of the Sun were able to awaken it. However, with the extinction of the Breath of the Sun tradition and the turmoil experienced by the Demon Slayer Corps, no one in the current Demon Slayer Corps can awaken the Mark.
The conditions for "activating the mark" are that a person's pulse reaches 200 or higher, and even their body temperature reaches 39 degrees or higher. Generally, people who enter this state will be in a dangerous situation. If I remember correctly, except for Yoriichi Tsugikuni, swordsmen who "activate the mark" will die before the age of 25. In the anime, Tanjuro Kamado died young.
Furthermore, the "Hinokami Kagura Dance" that Kamado Tanjuro performs every New Year to pray for peace from the fire god contains the training method of "Sun Breathing".
Based on the timeline of the rock's creation, Su Mu strongly suspected that this massive bluestone was cleaved open by Kamado Tanjuro with an axe.
