NOVEL NEXT Chapter 9
From this day on, Su Mu began to learn Xi from San Lang, and also began to understand the sad past of San Lang, the old man.
This old man once had a very happy family, with a very filial son, a virtuous daughter-in-law, and a lovely grandson.
It's just that happiness was destroyed one night.
That night, the evil spirit broke into the old man's house and ate his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson in front of him, and kept him until the end only because he was disgusted that his flesh was too old.
The evil ghost was about to attack the old man's family after eating him, and at this time, like most justice is always Xi to be late, at this time, the ghost hunter arrived belatedly, killed the evil ghost, and saved the old man's life.
Originally, with the old man's age, there was no way to become a ghost hunter, but relying on hard work, desperate training, and having some swordsmanship talents, he finally passed the 'Teng Raid Mountain' assessment and became a ghost hunter.
Originally, the old man thought that he could take revenge by becoming a ghost hunter, but when he actually faced the evil ghost, he found that he did not have the courage to face the evil ghost at all, and whenever he faced the evil ghost, his mind would have a fearful past.
The purgatory-like scene that once happened to him had already been deeply implanted in the old man's heart, making him almost lose the courage to draw his sword when facing evil spirits.
Because he couldn't face the evil ghosts, the old man eventually quit the ghost killing team and became a 'hermit' of the ghost killing team.
The so-called 'hermit' is the aftermath of the ghost killing team, which is mostly composed of members who have no swordsmanship talents, and is responsible for the finishing touches after the ghost killing team fights the ghost.
It was precisely because of this experience that this old man knew so much about evil spirits.

Quiet room
There was a campfire burning silently, and the occasional 'thunderclap' sound of burning wood.
Su Mu and San Lang sat opposite each other.
"Before I can teach what I've learned about 'breathing', you need to know a little bit about ghosts, about the Ghost Slayer..."
"You speak..."
Su Mu spoke.
"The Ghost Killing Squad, the so-called Ghost Hunter Organization, has a total of hundreds of members, and is an organization that has not been recognized by the government, but it has existed a long time ago, and it is still hunting ghosts today, and as for who the Supreme Commander of the Ghost Killing Team is, it is still a mystery."
"And ghosts, the staple food is humans, kill humans and eat, when and where they appeared, the truth has not yet been ascertained, some ghosts also have the ability to change body shape, only direct sunlight and decapitation with special weapons, can really kill them."
"These ghosts are extremely physically strong, even if they are injured, they can heal themselves quickly, and the parts that were cut by sharp weapons can be picked up again, and even grow back up..."
Speaking of this, Saburo sighed slightly: "As for the ghost hunters of the ghost killing team, they want to fight these terrible evil ghosts with their flesh and blood. "
"No matter in the powerful ghost hunters, they can't get out of the category of humans, and if they are injured, the wounds heal slowly, and the broken hands and feet will not grow back..."
Speaking of this, the old man raised his head again, his face proud: "But even so, they will still fight the ghosts to the end in order to protect humans." "

Next, Saburo began to teach him the 'breathing method' he knew.
The so-called 'breathing method' is a technique used by the members of the Demon Slayer to fight against ghosts whose physical abilities are much stronger than humans, and the main function is to strengthen the heart and lung function, so that the blood can absorb a large amount of oxygen in a short period of time, which can greatly increase the physical ability in an instant, and then temporarily have the same physical strength as the ghost.
Saburo learned Xi's 'Water Breath', which is also the kind of breath that the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Team have mastered the most.
Compared to other 'breathing', 'Breath of Water' is the easiest to get started, and of course its power is relatively weak, but it has the characteristics of being offensive and defensible.
............
As the old man began to demonstrate 'breathing', Su Mu also began to learn Xi seriously.
When he vaguely felt as if he had comprehended some of the principles of 'breathing', he was attracted by the new hints that popped up from the attribute panel.
