Chapter 43: Lord Ji
The old woman narrowed her cloudy eyes and was wearing a costume with cherry blossom markings.
"Mother-in-law, come forward to explain! Liang is not a pure daughter, but it is used to sacrifice to the fox god, this is not ......"
"Didn't I say that!" The old woman spoke, with an unquestionable tone in her voice.
"When I checked it was in the afternoon, when the cold Yuan Yin was not broken, it must have been that night that Dasuke that bastard boy forcibly took the cold body. Both parents can testify to this. ”
"Huh." A gray-haired old man in the corner confronted him: "Liang's parents are dead, so naturally you can say whatever you want." I remember the scene of the sacrifice that day very clearly. ”
"Humph!" Seeing this, the old woman snorted coldly, "Okay, I'm willing to accept the punishment." But not now, we should confirm the next sacrifice. ”
The old woman turned her head to look at the eightfold god lord who had not said a word on the main seat, and said, "Lord Divine Lord, you can't wait, even if Lord Ji is guided by the gods to dig the well, but those two wells are not enough for the village. This year's Shinano country's taxes, we in Yae Village have not yet paid the surplus grain. ”
Hearing that the old woman was willing to be punished, the people in the old woman's clan took advantage of this gap and hurriedly turned the topic over, discussing the issue of sacrifice loudly.
"Lord God." The old woman spoke again, and all the clan children kept their mouths shut.
"It was indeed my fault that I failed to sacrifice the Pure Daughter for the fox god last time. However, this kind of thing happened to me decades ago, and in order to appease the wrath of the gods, it was necessary to sacrifice a child with the blood of a shrine maiden. The old woman meant something.
This time, the children of the clan, including the other old men, were not speaking, quietly waiting for the Lord Divine to speak.
As early as yesterday, and even earlier, they had successively looked for the Yae God Master, and they secretly relied on their peers to find out the news of Yae Rin.
Originally, I wanted to finalize the matter yesterday, but I didn't expect Yae Ji to encounter the source of the monster in the canyon. When they returned home, they learned through various channels that the shrine maiden 'Yae Ji' was able to mobilize the power of the Spirit Sword Sakurabukiyuki, and in terms of combat power, she could even surpass the big names such as the town guard generals and exorcists in the big city.
Now, while that one is not there, let the Yae Divine Lord finalize it, so that they can also have peace of mind.
They know what kind of person the Yae God Lord is.
For the sake of the continuation of the village, each generation of Yae Shinjo is ......
The Yae God Lord, who was kneeling on the throne, stood up and attracted the attention of everyone present.
The Yae Sakura on the side had a pale face, full of horror, and sweat was oozing from his forehead.
"Father's ......"
As if he hadn't heard Sakura's call, the Yae Priest got up and said, "Then let Rin be a sacrifice for the next sacrifice, she has been ill for a long time, and her condition has worsened recently, and Doctor Oshiro has not found any good way to do it after seeing it several times." If she can contribute to the village, she will be very happy. ”
Yae Sakura's petite body trembled, and her whole mind was blank and at a loss. She subconsciously wanted to seek help from her brother, but found that she was the only one around.
"Lord God." The old woman who was kneeling on the left side asked, "Does the sacrifice have to be presided over by the contemporary shrine shrine maiden 'Ji-sama'?" ”
Everyone's hearts are in their throats.
Yaeji.
A well-deserved demon.
At a young age, he joined the patrol team to hunt the fierce beasts of the mountains and fields, and even became a shrine witch, and easily tortured and killed several corpse demons on her own.
These patrols can do the same, and what really scares them is ...... This generation of shrine shrine maidens has also been recognized by the Spirit Knife Sakurabuki Snow and is able to drive the power in the Spirit Knife.
Its combat power has soared to an incredible level!
The captain of the patrol is strong enough, right? The first four stages of the falling cherry slash were used by it, and they were able to fight against the wolf demon alone.
But what about others?
The four elites with the patrol team all died tragically under the claws of the bear demon!
And Yae Ji, who was holding the spirit knife, killed the bear demon in just a few moves.
These are all things they have heard through the clan forces in many aspects, whether it is through various processes or more perverted, they can't change the fact that Yae Ji is the number one combat force in Yae Village today.
What if he didn't want his sister to be sacrificed to the fox god...... Is this sacrifice done or not?
Yaeji is still a child, and everyone is afraid that she will lose her reason and be reckless.
And from many sources, this generation of shrine shrine maidens loves their two sisters quite much.
If only she had been asked to preside over the sacrifice herself......
It was a day of great drought, and the air was stuffy, but people shivered.
It is a tradition in Yae Village that shrine shrine maidens preside over sacrifices, and this ......
The Yae God Lord turned sideways, and there was no trace of emotion in his eyes.
"I won't participate in this time, Sakura, tomorrow's sacrifice will be presided over by you, you can prepare well."
"Yes...... Father...... Father. ”
Sakura's petite body trembled, her two small hands clenched into fists, and finally grabbed the skirt on her thighs.
All of these actions were watched by the Yae God Lord.
Leave.
After the Yae Divine Lord left, one after another people stood up and glanced at Yae Sakura's side more or less.
"You say, isn't it appropriate for this sacrifice to be presided over by the shrine maiden?"
"Go, go, what nonsense, what can we discuss."
"Okay, okay, don't talk about this. Don't you think it's too quick to have a sacrifice tomorrow? ”
"I think you're hoping to get as soon as possible."
"Tsk, you can't say that. We have to spare a day to tidy up and prepare for our reverence for the gods, right? ”
When the man saw everyone leaving, he carefully attached himself to the other ear and said, "It's not because of Lord Ji. ”
......
Yae Sakura didn't know how she got out of the council hall, her whole body was in a mess, and her mind was a mess.
"What should I do? What am I going to do? What am I going to do? ”
"Brother...... Where are you? ”
"I'm going to run away with Rin...... Let's go to the mountains, no, no, no, let's go to the big city......"
Yae Sakura didn't know what she was thinking.
Pulling open the door and returning to the house, a touch of cherry blossom color caught her eye.
"Sakura blowing snow!"
"Rin!" Yae Sakura rushed to Rin's shop and asked anxiously, "Brother is back?" Where is he? ”
"Ahem~" Rin opened her eyes and smiled weakly, "My sister is back, my brother said that he had something to do with the back mountain, and he would be back soon." Na~ My brother also asked Sakura to accompany me here. Don't you say, Sakura Blowing Snow? ”
"Huh~" The half-exposed Sakura Fukiyuki groaned softly, responding to Yae Rin.
The smile on Rin Yae's pale face was even brighter.
Yae Sakura thought a lot for a moment.
Qiang smiled: "I'll go to the side house to prepare things first, and then go to the back mountain to call my brother back for dinner, Rin has to be obedient." ”
"Uh-huh."
Yae Sakura took a deep look at her sister and turned to walk towards the side room.
The small black cloth bag was spread out, and Yae Sakura carefully counted the belongings of the three siblings.
"Go find my brother first."
Yae Sakura ran towards the outside of the shrine.
It was then that a dark shadow flashed into Rin's room.
......
