The weather is fine, inside Yae Shrine.

Under a few cherry blossom trees on the edge of the inner courtyard, a delicate and beautiful coffee table is filled with many small tea sets for making tea.

At this time, cherry blossom petals will fall from time to time, and the cherry blossom petals will fall to the ground at a speed of five centimeters per second, and Yae Sakura will kneel in front of the coffee table, leisurely soaking tea.

The combination of the falling cherry blossoms and the Yae cherry blossoms in front of the coffee table is very beautiful, and if you draw this scene, you can't help but yearn for it.

The breeze blew and a few cherry blossom petals fell on Yae Sakura's fox ears, probably feeling a little unnatural, the ears on Yae Sakura's head trembled slightly, and the cherry blossoms fell on Yae Sakura's pink hair again.

There are also cherry blossom petals on the coffee table, but it does not affect it at all, and the coffee table is decorated more beautifully.

In front of Yae Sakura, dozens of girls dressed in shrine maiden costumes practiced swordsmanship in the middle of the inner courtyard, and their movements were neat and consistent.

In the past few days, there has been nothing going on, so Yae Sakura is concentrating on teaching them swordsmanship and spiritual power. After all, it's good for you to have more people, and you can't let them just do chores in the shrine.

The cultivation of swordsmanship is quite reluctant, most of them are not much different, although the time is not long, but it is enough to deal with ordinary people.

But the cultivation of spiritual power ...... So far, there are less than ten witches who have successfully cultivated spiritual power.

Unlike the cultivation of swordsmanship, swordsmanship can be practiced by anyone, but the results are not necessarily the same. And cultivating spiritual power requires talent, it is difficult or even impossible for a person without talent to cultivate spiritual power, and if she is talented, even if she doesn't cultivate, she has hidden spiritual power in her body.

However, Yae Sakura is also very satisfied, among the dozens of shrine maidens, there are several who have the talent of cultivating spiritual power, and generally speaking, only one in a thousand ordinary people have spiritual talent.

This still includes those who are very poor in spiritual power.

These witches with spiritual talents, Yae Sakura is ready to treat them as her own personal disciples and cultivate them with her heart.

...

Watching the witches in front of them practice swordsmanship with wooden swords, unifying moves and movements, it is very pleasing to the eye.

Yae Sakura held a teapot in her hand, poured the brewed tea into her small cup, put it to her mouth leisurely, and tasted it gently.

This tea table and tea set were bought from merchants in Kyoto, and I heard that they were sold from the Ming Dynasty, and this Yae cherry tree is not very clear.

Tea is the most common green tea in Japan, and the green tea in the teapot in front of Yae Sakura, which is less than the size of a bowl, is the top-quality "Gyokuro" that Yae Sakura bought at a high price.

As the highest grade of tea in Japan, it is said that even one out of 100 tea trees may not be able to produce gyokuro, which shows the high demand for tea trees. Twenty days before germination, the tea growers erect straw to carefully protect the top of the tea tree and block the sunlight so that the tea tree can grow soft new shoots. The young buds are picked, killed with high-temperature steam, and then cooled rapidly, and then kneaded into slender tea leaves.

The astringency of Gyokuro is less, but sweet and soft, the tea soup is clear, and it has a fairy spirit that does not eat the fireworks of the world.

After tea culture entered Japan during the Tang Dynasty 1,000 years ago, tea became a popular drink in Japan.

When Yae Sakura took a small sip of gyokuro, the ears on her head moved, and Yae Sakura put down the teacup and said softly, "Qiqi, what are you looking for me?" ”

"Master, there is a monk looking for you."

"Monk?" Hearing this, Yae Sakura turned her head to look in the direction of Rabbit Qiqi, and saw a monk with long short hair, similar to a modern flat head, wearing black monk's robes, with a long string of black Buddhist beads around his neck, almost hanging to his stomach, and holding a small string of Buddhist beads in his hand.

Japanese monks are different from those in China, they can keep their hair, they can get married and have children, in fact, monks don't pay so much attention to it, and it is only after entering China that a lot of terms and conditions appear.

"Amitabha! I've seen an Yae shrine maiden. The monk looked at Yae Sakura, took a few steps forward, and made a Buddha salute to Yae Sakura.

"Sit down!"

Yae Sakura pointed to the coffee table opposite.

On the floor of the coffee table is a cloth several meters wide, and Yae Sakura is kneeling on this cloth.

"Thank you!" The monk was not polite, and walked directly to Yae Sakura and sat down.

"Then I'll go out first!" Rabbit Seven looked at Yae Sakura at this time and said.

"Hmm." Yae Sakura.

Seeing that Yae Sakura agreed, Rabbit Qiqi turned around directly and ran out.

After seeing Rabbit Qiqi go out, Yae Sakura took out an empty small teacup from the coffee table, poured the tea, and then put it in front of the monk.

"Please!"

"Thank you!" The monk took the teacup, thanked him, raised his glass with both hands, and took a sip gently.

"Huh! Good tea! This tea is good. The monk looked at the tea in the teacup again in surprise, and then drank it all in one gulp.

"Can you give me a drink?" The monk looked at Yae Sakura and said expectantly.

Yae Sakura looked at this monk with a confused expression, it was the first time he had seen such a shameless monk himself.

"It's on the coffee table, pour it yourself!" Yae Sakura pointed to the teapot speechlessly.

"Thank you!" When the monk looked at the teapot, he picked it up very unceremoniously, and then poured it into his cup.

When the monk had drunk two or three cups and the tea in the teapot was almost bottoming out, he stopped.

"It's been another good harvest in the village of the Eight Great People! When I entered the village just now, I saw that the villagers were all pulling with horse-drawn carts, and the horses pulling the carts were tired. The monk suddenly looked at the cherry blossom tree next to the Yae cherry blossom and sighed.

"..."Looking at this monk Yae Sakura, I don't understand what he means, just now I called myself Yae Shrine Maiden, and now I call him Yae Man. And didn't he come to ask for himself? It's not going to be said yet.

But since he is not in a hurry, he is even less anxious.

"It's okay!" Yae Sakura ignored the monks, watched the swordsmanship practice of the shrine maidens, and said casually, not very concerned.

...

The monk looked at Yae Sakura and found that Yae Sakura was not at all curious about his intentions, and he didn't know what to do for a while, and he didn't know how to continue with the words he had prepared.

After hesitating for a moment, the monk stared at Yae Sakura and shouted, "Yae Man." ”

"Huh?" Yae Sakura tilted her head to look at the monk with a hint of inquiry in her cyan eyes.

"Can I ask you to help Shimosu Village, this year I don't know why there has been a drought, the grain in the village has not been harvested, and the surplus grain is about to run out again. So the eight great people of great compassion help us, right? The monk suddenly got up, then knelt down with his head to the ground and pleaded to Yae Sakura.
