Chapter 4 The best knife in the village
There are many side halls next to the main hall of the shrine, which are said to be "halls", but in fact, the size is just like that, and for a relatively poor village, it is enough to spend enough manpower and material resources to build a rather large shrine, which is enough to show the respect for the gods in their hearts.
The main hall, which faces the main gate of the shrine, is a place where the gods are enshrined, and a large open space in front of the main hall is also a place for festivals.
The god enshrined in Yae Village is a "fox god", and as for what the god looks like, Yae Ji still doesn't know, so I can only guess from the fox mask left in the shrine.
Ever since he witnessed that sacrifice as a child, Yaeki's high respect for the gods has gradually waned.
He always had a bold idea in mind.
According to the records, heavy rain falls after each festival to alleviate the drought in Yae Village, and the title of "fox god" is even more numerous by the villagers, and the most popular is "rain god".
The territory of the god of rain actually has a great drought from time to time? In Yaeji's opinion, the 'fox god' they worship is not the "fire god".
Of course, he only thought about this disrespectful thought in his own heart, and even the two closest sisters did not tell him. If this were to come from the mouth of the child of Lord Yae, what would be the difference between it and a great earthquake?
Yae Ji put an end to the small theater in his mind, took a deep breath, and pushed open the door of a side hall.
The scent of cherry blossoms poured into Yaeji's nostrils like the sunlight that couldn't wait to pour into the temple.
The fragrance is very light, but it can make people feel more comfortable and pleasant.
In addition to a platform and a special wooden frame on which knives are displayed, there is only a long knife with a delicate shape.
The originally humble side hall was sublimated again under the influence of the artistic conception of this knife, as long as someone enters the hall, the eye will definitely be attracted by the long knife, even if there are many embellishments around it to no avail.
Yae Ji didn't believe it at first, but now, only that knife was left in his world.
The sword is a spirit knife enshrined in a shrine, and it has a beautiful name like a cherry blossom - 'Sakura Fukiyuki'.
Yaeki doesn't know when Sakurabuki Yuki appeared at the shrine, but Sakurabukiyuki' is definitely older than him, and perhaps his long-deceased grandparents know where it came from.
But none of this matters, the legend says that a certain generation of shrine maidens of the Yae family realized [Falling Sakura Slash] from 'Sakurabuki', and later, all the Yae clansmen who can perform all six stages of [Sakura Slash] are all eligible to enter the territory of 'Sakurabukiyuki'.
Yae Ji held his breath.
The origin of the name "Sakura Blowing Snow" is not made up, but there are too many cherry blossom elements on this spirit knife, and the slightly curved blade as a whole shows the color of cherry blossoms, and the excessive tip of the knife does not know if it is because of the light, and a touch of cherry white is well integrated into it.
The handle is made of three sections, white, black, and gray, and the front looks like a cherry blossom logo composed of gray and white.
The back of the sword, or sword, is made up of a touch of snow-white hair, and the more Yae Ji looks at it, the more it looks like a fox's hair.
Don't...... Is it the fox god's?
The sword lattice is slightly raised, stretching out a distance in front of the back of the sword, giving people a sense of sharpness comparable to that of a sword blade, giving the 'Sakura Blowing Snow', which was originally like a peerless beauty, an extra sense of fierceness.
The whole knife has too much to do with 'Sakura', and the master who created the Spirit Blade must have also been obsessed with cherry blossoms.
Yae Ji flashed the figure of his sister Yae Sakura in his mind, and in his opinion, this knife was a perfect match for the other party!
Let's be honest...... He, as an elder brother, is not as good at swordsmanship as Yae Sakura, if not......
Yae Ji frowned, and a picture similar to a blue panel immediately flashed in his mind.
Branch of [Falling Sakura Slash]......
【Wild Flower Burst】
【Blade of Confusion】
【Dispersion】
Skill points?
And also...... Shrine Maiden Against the Gods!
Against God!
Yaeji's delicate little face turned slightly pale, although he had thoughts of disrespect for the gods in his heart, but disobeying the gods, or rebelling against the gods or something, it would be much more consequence than disrespecting the gods.
Yae Ji glanced at Sakura Fukiyuki, whose cherry blossom-colored blade was emitting a faint faint light, and remembered all the things in his previous dreams, and he was able to make up a big drama in his brain.
[Falling Sakura Slash] is understood from Sakura Blowing Snow, and after using the skill point to light up the three branches of [Falling Sakura Slash], the handwriting of 'Reverse God Witch' lights up......
The fox god doesn't use a human knife at all!
Could it be that 'Sakura Blowing Snow', which was once a weapon used by the Witch of the Reverse God?
'Not true! This must be the youkai in the evil crate affecting me! ’
Yaeji seemed to be in a state of confusion.
The breath of Sakurabuki attracted him, and the words 'Shrine Maiden Against the Gods' kept coming to mind. Yae Ji first bowed to the spirit knife Sakura Fuyuki, and then walked to the side of the spirit knife.
The faint smell of cherry blossoms is just right, and the wooden frame that displays the cherry blossom blowing snow is enveloped by this breath all year round, making it even more mysterious.
Yaeji's heart raced, and all kinds of things related to the gods in his mind were forgotten, and his cherry-white fingertips touched the blade lightly.
Slightly cool.
I don't know if it's Yaeji's illusion, the spirit knife in front of him seemed to tremble slightly like him, and a call from the depths of the bloodline made his palm slowly grip the hilt of unknown texture.
"Huh! ——”
Sakurabuki, who had been on the wooden frame for an unknown number of years, let out a sword groan, and there was a faint illusion of phantom cherry blossoms falling around.
'Bells and whistles. ’
Yae Ji had a strange face, he could swear to the most revered fox god, this was definitely not his inner thoughts!
"But...... Phantom cherry blossoms falling or something, it's really a lot of bells and whistles. Yae Ji muttered.
The spirit knife in his hand trembled slightly, as if to show its dissatisfaction. If Sakura Fukiyuki can speak, I'm afraid I'll start scolding now.
Yae Ji waved the spirit knife a few times at will, and suddenly a cherry horizontal knife wave burst out, directly slashing towards the gate with lightning speed!
"Click~"
The door of the side hall shattered in half and fell to the ground like papier-mâché.
Sakura, who was making a decoction for Rin in the courtyard, glanced over and saw that her father was hurrying there, and she knew that something was going to happen.
"You! ——”
Yae Sakura walked back to the house with the potion, and from such a distance, she could hear her father's "roar".
"Sister, there seems to be something wrong with my father's voice?"
Yae Sakura scooped out the potion and blew on the spoon with her small mouth, and after blowing the heat dissipation, she carefully handed it to Rin's mouth.
After Rin had drunk the potion, Yae Sakura stirred the spoon in the bowl and blew on it from time to time.
"I'm afraid it's not my brother who has made my father angry again."
Rin Fox glanced out suspiciously, but unfortunately, from her angle, she couldn't directly see the side hall where the spirit sword was enshrined.
At this time, in the side hall, Yae Ji was not being trained as Yae Sakura imagined, but his father looked at his son in front of him who was holding a spirit knife and was at a loss.
"Is this the door you cut down?"
A trace of panic flashed on Yae Ji's little face, and he was still very afraid that his father, who was the Lord of Yae, would be angry.
The big eyes turned and turned, and the afterglow saw a touch of cherry white from the spirit knife.
Yaeji looked up at his majestic, father, who was standing in front of him, and said sincerely, "You may not believe it when you say it, but it was the hand that made the first move!" ”
