Duan Mu's injury healed quickly. Konghe used many precious herbs when treating him. In addition, Duan Mu's ability in 'returning to the path' was not weaker than that of the Fourth Division. He was completely healed in just three days.
He had not been idle these three days while recovering from his injuries. Although he had no way to practice, he could still calm down and thoroughly master the newly acquired knowledge.
After the intermediate Kidou reached the 'intermediate level', Duan Mu upgraded Bai Lei to the intermediate level and the bottleneck of 'reiko control' broke through again. By analogy, his Bai Lei proficiency also skyrocketed by nearly a hundred. If he fights Daimaru again,
It is absolutely impossible for the opponent to force his Bai Lei down again.
Shiba Kukaku hasn't appeared in the past few days. According to Iwajiu, she has been busy underground in the past few days.
During this period, Mao Yue also came to visit Duan Mu, and scolded the rock vulture that was jumping up and down, and the scolded rock vulture... Duan Mu always felt that this guy seemed very happy.
In the four years since he came to Rukongai, this was the first time Duan Mu had rested for such a long time without accepting a commission, which made Duan Mu always feel as if something was missing.
And just when Duanmu was about to say goodbye and leave, Shiba Kukaku, who had been busy mysteriously, appeared.
In the living room, Konghe, who was holding a cigarette in his mouth, looked at Duan Mu and asked: "How is the injury?"
"Everything is fine!" Duan Mu waved his arms to prove that he was almost fine.
Konghe knocked out his cigarette on the ashtray, stood up and said, "Just in time, I'm ready here, you and Iwajiu come together!"
"ah?"
Duan Mu was stunned and turned to look at the rock eagle beside him, only to find that the rock eagle had the same confused look on his face.
"What are you doing standing still? Do you want me to drag you two down?" When he found that the two of them did not follow, Kong He turned around and shouted.
The Yanjiu's expression changed, and he hurriedly took a few steps to catch up with Konghe.
I'm here to say goodbye...
The corners of Duan Mu's eyes twitched, and he swallowed the words he was about to say goodbye and leave. After all, this eldest sister had a really hot temper, and he didn't want to be pushed to the ground like Daimaru.
Kong He led the two of them all the way down the steps. The steps were as if they were infinite. The three of them walked for nearly five minutes without even seeing the bottom.
"Sister, how deep did you dig??" Yanjiu, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help but ask.
"About a thousand meters."
“One thousand meters??”
Duan Mu was stunned. This kind of construction ability is still so unreasonable. He actually dug so deep in just three days.
After walking for a few more minutes, a light finally appeared at the end of the steps.
"arrive."
Konghe turned around, pointed behind him with a proud look and said, "This is my latest creation of the 'Da Konghe Training Hall'!"
This name is as simple and direct as ever, and its narcissism is off the charts!
Duan Mu complained silently in his heart, and then looked at the extremely vast space behind Kong He.
The Dakonghe Training Hall is extremely wide, and you cannot see the entire space from the entrance. Moreover, something is paved at the top of the training hall, making the entire space extremely bright. If Duan Mu hadn't known that this place was one thousand meters underground, Duan Mu might have
Everyone thinks this is the wilderness on the surface of the earth.
It looks a bit like the amusement park built by Urahara Kisuke, but compared to the 'Urahara amusement park' in Duanmu's memory, this place is much more regular. There are stages in the center, and glowing runes are carved around each stage.
The fluctuations of spiritual pressure are constantly revealed outward.
Looking at the space in front of him, Yanjiu seemed to have thought of something. His face instantly turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Sister, you don't mean to..."
"This time it won't be like last time."
Konghe laughed strangely: "Before you satisfy me, no matter whether you cry or howl, you can't leave." After that, she turned to look at Duan Mu, who was looking confused: "You are no exception."
"ha?"
Duan Mu and Yanjiu were stunned at the same time, but unlike Yanjiu's fear, Duanmu's eyes suddenly showed ecstasy after he understood Konghe's words.
These days, Duan Mu has been thinking about where to go to learn intermediate ghost ways.
He had also thought about asking Shiba Kūkaku to teach him. After all, Shiba Kūkaku was recognized as a 'Kidō master' even by the Shinigami of Seireitei, but he didn't know how to ask for help.
Although using this incident to ask Shiba Kuukaku to teach him the way of ghosts, he should not be rejected. But doing so has the obvious intention of repaying a favor, which will change this incident from "mutual help between friends" to a
If you don't engage in a 'deal', you may even lose Kūkaku's friendship.
Compared to learning ghost ways, Konghe's friendship is obviously more important to Duan Mu.
Now that Konghe has taken the initiative to bring it up, how could Duan Mu not be ecstatic about it!
"Sister, actually I can practice by myself..." Yanjiu whispered.
"Can?"
Kong He sneered: "A guy whose spiritual pressure is the same as that of a senior officer, but whose actual combat power is only stronger than that of a low-level officer, has already left you defenseless. Where do you have the courage to say you can do it?"
Yanjiu opened his mouth, unable to explain.
"You go to the last arena in the southwest corner for me. That arena is a sealing platform that I built with spirit jade. It is surrounded by stable and sealing spirit patterns. It is specially prepared for practicing Zhibo's secret technique. When you can successfully transform into sand
Once you get off that arena, continue to the next arena."
"There are a total of ten arenas in the southwest corner, and the intensity is gradually increasing. When all ten arenas are passed, when will you be able to leave, otherwise you will always live here!"
"Sister, this is too..."
"Get up there!!"
Following Shiba Kuukaku's curse, the rock eagle ran toward the southwest corner of the martial arts arena in despair.
"As for you..."
Facing Kūkaku's gaze as he looked at him, Duan Mu suddenly felt as nervous as when he was called on to read a lesson in elementary school in his previous life. Shiba Kūkaku, the head of the Shiba family, one of the top five nobles, although he rarely showed it,
There is absolutely no lack of majesty of a great noble family head.
"I've seen your fights. Whether it's a free fight, a ghost way, or even Shunpo, you've mastered it well." Konghe paused for a moment, suddenly changed the subject, and said in a serious tone: "I don't know you.
Where you learned it from, I have no interest in knowing, but if someone asks you in the future, you must say..."
"These techniques are all taught to you by me, Shiba Kukaku!"
Duan Mu was startled when he heard this, then nodded: "Thank you, Sister Konghe."
The reason why Zuken Kizai is called the "Four Major Techniques of Death" is precisely because it is a technique that only the God of Death can master.
The three techniques of slicing, shunpo, and white fighting are okay, but the ghost path contains various complex knowledge such as "chanting text," "spiritual use," and "attribute transformation". It is absolutely useless without anyone's guidance.
Cannot learn by oneself.
Although it is convenient to obtain this knowledge through the system, there is no way to explain the origin of this knowledge, so Duan Mu often visits the Shiba family to give people the illusion that he has learned this knowledge from the Shiba family.
Shiba Kūkaku had obviously seen this a long time ago, and judging from what Kūkaku just said, Kūkaku might even know that Xing Jun was spying on him, but he had always refused to deny it. An attitude of denial.
"Nothing to thank."
Konghe waved his hand indifferently: "Actually, I have never liked you very much."
Duan Mu gave a shuddering laugh. Regarding this, he could see this from Konghe's favorable impression, which had never been higher, but he could only pretend not to notice, and kept licking his face and coming to visit...
"The Rock Eagle is a fool, and you..."
Konghe paused for a moment, sighed and said: "It's too mysterious. I secretly sent people to investigate you. The way you appear in Rukongai and the way you become stronger are very mysterious. I even studied it carefully. I have gone through every day of the four years since you came to Rukongai, but there is no sign that you have learned 'Zanken Kizai' from anyone."
"The few times I had contact with the God of Death, I just watched from the sidelines without having any connection with the other person. It felt like I was born with it."
"and……"
Shiba Kukaku didn't know what he was thinking of, and he snorted coldly: "I have never had a good impression of guys who are 'gentle to others' and 'good old guys'."
"In addition, although you are a very good disguise, the gloomy feeling you have developed over the years and the indifference towards people, things, and even life cannot be changed in a short time. Even if it takes a few years, You have indeed changed a lot since then, and maybe you are better at pretending."
"So it makes perfect sense for me to view you as a dangerous guy."
Shiba Kukaku was free and easy, and directly explained the reasons for not liking Duan Mu without any scruples. Duan Mu, who had been trying to defend himself, was speechless by her words. In the end, he could only say with a trembling smile: " That...actually, I am still a good person at heart."
Kong He smiled noncommittally and said to himself: "Your performance in this battle may seem dangerous to others, but after seeing it, I felt at ease. If you chose to hide in that situation, , then I really have to consider letting Yanjiu cut off contact with you."
"There are many weirdos in the Soul Society. Even the captains of the Gotei Thirteenth Team have many weirdos that you can't imagine. It doesn't matter if you are one more. As long as you don't become an enemy of the Seireitei and don't become a Shinigami, you will be killed at best. Keep an eye on me, so you don’t have to be so cautious at all.”
"Of course, it's also good to keep hiding things that should be hidden. If necessary, it can have an unexpected effect."
"I understand, Sister Konghe!!" Duan Mu replied loudly as if he was making a promise.
"Why are you shouting? You are seeking death!"
Duan Mu decisively shut up. In fact, Duan Mu himself didn't know what kind of person he was.
There is a kind of person in this world who is said to be able to change only after death.
Therefore, Duan Mu has been trying to change since he came here, but he himself doesn't know whether there has been any change.
But there is one thing that Duan Mu knows very well.
That is……
He likes this kind of life very much.
"Tell me about it." Konghe took a chair from somewhere, crossed his legs, and said with a pipe in his mouth, "You know all kinds of tricks."
Upon hearing this, Duan Mu immediately explained all the ghost ways he knew.
After hearing this, Shiba Kukaku was stunned: "If I hadn't known that you have never been to Zhenou Spiritual Arts Academy, I might have thought that you were a student of Zhenou Spiritual Arts Academy."
The ghost ways that Duan Mu mentioned are all the ghost ways taught by Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy.
Although Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy is a training place for new recruits before joining the job, it does not mean that after graduating from here, they can become all-powerful. It should be said that on the contrary, the real training begins after graduating from Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy.
It can be called an internship period.
During the internship period, each team will conduct secondary training for these newcomers that lasts for a long time. However, unlike the primary training in the academy, the secondary training requires countless actual combats.
Therefore, most advanced skills are taught by the chief officers in each division, not the academy.
The ghost paths that Duan Mu knows are extremely obvious academic gangsters, and they are the kind of academy gangsters who have no background and are from Rukongai.
After saying that, she seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes when she looked at Duan Mu suddenly became a little strange: "I seem to understand why you want to set up that 'Death cram school'."
"Hey hey hey~~"
Duan Mu chuckled and flattered him: "I really can't hide it from you, Sister Konghe."
