From Demon Slayer, the sword is invincible

Chapter 76: Purgatory Makijuro

Feng Xiaodao pushed open the door, and a strong smell of alcohol hit him. He frowned and looked at the messy scene in front of him. The room was full of empty bottles and various sundries. A tall man was lying on the tatami, but he looked particularly haggard at this time, as if his soul had been taken away.

This man is the former Flame Pillar Rengoku Makijuro, who has now become a decadent uncle with untidy beard. He is wearing a tattered kimono, his hair is messily scattered on his shoulders, his face is covered with stubble, his eyes are bloodshot, and his eyes are empty, as if he has no attachment to the world.

Feng Xiaodao walked silently to his side, squatted down, and told him his purpose, but Rengoku Makijuro did not respond.

Rengoku Chishouro was afraid that Feng Xiaodao might misunderstand him, so he hurriedly explained:

"Actually, father wasn't like this before. After mother passed away, he not only gave up his duties as the Flame Pillar, but spent every day either drinking, sleeping, or staring blankly into the distance."

Feng Xiaodao signaled Senjuro that he didn't need to explain. He also knew that the former Flame Pillar Rengoku Makijuro was an optimistic and passionate person. His elder brother Rengoku Kyojuro inherited this character perfectly, but he became like this because he was hit too hard by the death of his wife.

"Mr. Purgatory, I'm not trying to persuade you. I just want to tell you that the dead are not really gone. They will exist in another way. I wonder how your wife would feel if she saw you like this!

Maybe she is somewhere else worrying about an incompetent father or a subordinate who has abandoned his job!"

Rengoku Makijuro's pupils shrank, and suddenly, like a drowning man who found a life-saving straw, he pulled Feng Xiaodao's hand and shouted excitedly: "Are you telling the truth? She is still alive, and alive in another place, right? Ruka must still be alive, right?"

Seeing Rengoku Makijuro's crazy expectation, Feng Xiaodao decided to tell a lie, so he said with certainty: "I believe she is alive in another world! Maybe she is alive as a soul, or maybe in other ways."

Rengoku Makijuro suddenly became very happy like a child, "Ruhu is still alive, Ruhu is still alive, she must still be by my side, I just can't see her!"

Before Feng Xiaodao had time to congratulate himself on the standard template of his well-intentioned lie, Rengoku Makijuro suddenly became furious. He stared at Feng Xiaodao fiercely with big eyes and shouted: "This is all a lie. Ruka is dead. You just want to trick me and comfort me, so that I can meet your requirements, right?"

Feng Xiaodao sighed, stood up without blushing and said, "I don't have time to lie to you, you are not the only one who knows the Flame Breathing Technique, but I don't want that high-spirited Flame Pillar to continue to be decadent like this.

Even ghosts exist in this world, so it is not impossible that souls exist. Your wife just died in this world, but it is not the end of her. She may be watching us from some unknown space! I wonder how your wife would feel when she sees you like this.

Anyway, that's all I have to say, you can think about it carefully!" After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Rengoku Makijuro's voice came, "Stop, Feng Xiaodao."

Feng Xiaodao turned his back to Rengoku Makijuro with a predictable smile on his face, while Rengoku Chijuro on the side was surprised that his father was actually speaking seriously.

"I've figured it out. No matter whether what you said is true or false, it is undeniable that there is such a possibility." Rengoku Makijuro sat up, and the light in his eyes rekindled.

"Even ghosts can exist, Ruka may also exist in another form. Regardless of whether Ruka is still watching me somewhere, I can't bet that she is gone. I don't want her to continue to worry about us. I want her to watch us without worries!"

Feng Xiaodao smiled with relief.

"I will teach you the Flame Breathing Technique, but you have to promise me to take Rengoku Kyojuro with you to become a real Flame Pillar!" Rengoku Kyojuro said firmly.

Feng Xiaodao was not stumped by this request. According to his elder brother's pace, he would become a pillar with his own abilities by next year at the latest, hoping to awaken his father. What made him more curious was why he made this request.

"This request is not difficult. Rengoku Kyojuro will become a pillar sooner or later with his own efforts and strength. What I'm curious about is why, if you have the confidence to cheer up, why don't you serve as the Flame Pillar again?"

Rengoku Makijuro shook his head and said ashamedly: "I am an irresponsible person and I am not qualified to be the Flame Pillar anymore. Going back would be an insult to those sacrificed team members. I know that Kyojuro's biggest wish over the years is to become the Flame Pillar. I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a father over the years. I hope to help him a little. If you find it difficult, you can help me take care of Senjuro in the future!"

Rengoku Chijuro's mood at this moment was indescribable. Seeing his former father coming back, he threw aside his previous elegance and rushed to his father excitedly, hugged his father and said in a tearful voice:

"Father, the reason why my brother wants to become the Flame Pillar so much is because he wants to wake you up in this way!"

Rengoku Makijuro was speechless after hearing this, and felt even more guilty. He could only use his trembling hands to comfort Chijuro in his arms.

Feng Xiaodao felt very relieved when he saw the father and son reconciled. It would have been even more perfect if his elder brother was there.

"I will do my best to train Rengoku Kyojuro and make him an excellent Flame Pillar. After that, I will let him join my special operations team for training! I also hope that you can be proud of your outstanding sons!" Feng Xiaodao promised.

Rengoku Makijuro looked up at Feng Xiaodao, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes. "Thank you, Feng Xiaodao,"

"I will teach you everything I know about the Breathing of Fire without reservation. But how much you can learn depends on your ability!" Rengoku Makijuro said seriously.

"I'm ready." Feng Xiaodao's eyes were firm.

Rengoku Makijuro stood up and patted Feng Xiaodao on the shoulder. "Let's take a short break today. I also need to adjust my condition. Can we start tomorrow?"

"no problem!"

Feng Xiaodao stayed overnight at Rengoku's house. At night, he lay on the bed, thinking about some things about the Sun Breathing Method. It seemed that the Flame Pillar family had some records about the Sun Breathing Method, so he could try to ask some inside information.

The next morning, sunlight shone through the window into the room. Feng Xiaodao got up early, washed up, and went to the yard. Rengoku Makijuro was already waiting there, his eyes full of determination.

"Let's get started." Rengoku Makijuro took a deep breath and demonstrated the first move. Feng Xiaodao watched intently, trying to understand the mystery.

In the next few days, Feng Xiaodao practiced the Flame Breathing Technique day and night. Under the full teaching of Rengoku Makijuro, he made rapid progress in learning the Flame Breathing Technique.

This day is probably Feng Xiaodao’s last day of study.

An unexpected figure suddenly broke into the yard where the two were training.

"Father! You!"

"Kyojuro you're back!"
