Views:

The old woman squinted her cloudy eyes, wearing a costume with a cherry blossom logo on her body.

"Grandma, please come forward and explain! Liang is not a pure daughter, but she was used as a sacrifice to the fox god. Isn't that..."

"Didn't I say it!" the old woman said, with an unquestionable tone in her voice.

"I checked in the afternoon. At that time, Liang's yin was not broken. That bastard Daisuke must have forcibly left Liang's body that night. Liang's parents can testify to this."

"Hehe." The gray-haired old man in the corner confronted him, "Liang's parents are both dead, so naturally you can say whatever you want. I remember the scene of the sacrifice that day very clearly."

"Hmph!" The old woman snorted coldly when she saw this, "Okay, I am willing to accept the punishment. But not now, we should confirm the next sacrifice."

The old woman turned her head to look at the Lord Yae who had not said a word on the main seat, and said, "My lord, I can't wait any longer. Even though Lord Ji was guided by the gods to dig the well, those two wells are not enough for the village. This year The taxes of the Shinano country, we in Yae Village have no surplus grain to pay."

Hearing that the old woman was willing to be punished, the people in the old woman's clan took advantage of this gap to quickly put this topic aside, discussing the issue of sacrifice loudly.

"Lord God Master." The old woman spoke again, and all the clan children shut their mouths.

"The last time I failed to sacrifice a pure daughter to the fox god, it was indeed my fault. But I also encountered this kind of thing decades ago. To calm the anger of the gods, you must sacrifice a child with the blood of a witch That's it." The old woman pointed.

This time, the clan children, including other old people, were silent, waiting for the Lord God to speak quietly.

As early as yesterday, or even earlier, they had been looking for Yae Rin one after another, and even secretly relied on their peers to inquire about Yae Rin's news.

Originally, I wanted to finalize the matter yesterday, but I didn't expect Yazhongji to encounter the source of the monster in the canyon. After they got home, they learned through various channels that the current shrine maiden 'Yae Ji' can mobilize the power of the spiritual sword Sakura Fubuki, and in terms of combat power, it can even surpass the guardian generals and exorcists in the big city. big shot.

Now, taking advantage of that person's absence, let Yae God Lord finalize it, so that they can feel at ease.

They knew what kind of person the Lord Yae was.

For the continuation of the village, each generation of Yae God Lord is...

The Lord Yae, who was kneeling on the main seat, got up and attracted the attention of everyone present.

Yae Sakura's face on the side was pale, full of horror, and sweat oozes from her forehead.

"Father..."

Lord Yae didn't seem to hear Sakura's call, and after getting up, he said, "Then let Rin be the sacrifice for the next sacrifice. She has been ill for a long time, and her condition has worsened recently. Doctor Oshiro looked at it several times and found nothing. Good way. If she can contribute to the village, she must be very happy."

Yae Sakura's petite body trembled, her mind went blank and she was at a loss. She subconsciously wanted to seek help from her elder brother, but in the end she found herself alone.

"Lord God Lord." The old woman kneeling on the left asked, "Should the sacrifice be presided over by the contemporary shrine maiden 'Master Ji'?"

Everyone's heart reached their throats.

Eight layers of Ji.

A well-deserved monster.

It's okay to join the patrol team at a young age to hunt wild beasts, and even become a shrine maiden, easily killing several corpses by herself.

These patrols can do it too, but what really scares them is... This generation of shrine maidens has also been recognized by the spiritual sword Sakura Fubuki, and can drive the power in the spiritual sword.

Its combat power has soared to an incredible level!

Is the captain of the patrol strong enough? The first four stages of Luo Ying Zhan were used superbly by him, and he was able to fight against the wolf monster alone.

But what about others

The four elites who led the patrol team all died tragically at the claws of the bear demon!

And Yachongji, who was holding a spiritual knife, killed the bear demon in just a few strokes.

These are all they have inquired about through various aspects of the clan power. No matter it has been processed in various ways, or it has become more perverted, it cannot change the fact that Yaeji is the number one combat force in Yae Village today.

If the one who doesn't want his sister to sacrifice to the fox god...does he do the sacrifice or not

Yaeji is still a child, and everyone is afraid that she will lose her mind and reckless.

And from various sources, this generation of shrine maidens loves their two younger sisters very much.

If she is allowed to preside over the sacrificial ceremony in person...

It was obviously a severe drought and the air was sultry, but people shivered.

It is a tradition in Yae Village that the shrine maiden presides over the sacrifice. This...

The Lord Yae turned sideways, and there was no trace of emotion in his eyes.

"Ji won't be participating this time, Sakura, you will preside over tomorrow's sacrifice, so prepare well."

"It's... Father... Father."

Sakura's petite body was trembling, her two little hands clenched tightly into fists, and finally grabbed the skirt on her thigh.

All these actions were seen by Yae Shenzhu.

leave.

After Lord Yae left, people stood up one after another and glanced at Yae Sakura more or less.

"You said, is it appropriate not to allow the priestess to preside over this sacrifice?"

"Go, go, talk nonsense, Mr. Miko is something we can discuss."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about this. Don't you think it's too soon to hold a sacrifice tomorrow?"

"I see that you are eager for the sooner the better."

"Tsk, you can't say that. We have to set aside a day to tidy up and prepare for our reverence for the gods, right?"

Seeing everyone leaving, the man carefully attached to the other ear and said, "It's not because of Master Ji."

...

Yae Sakura didn't know how she got out of the meeting hall, she was in a daze, and her mind was even more muddled.

"What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?"

"Brother... where are you?"

"I'm going to take Rin to escape... Let's go to the mountains, no, no, let's go to the big city..."

Yae Sakura didn't know what she was thinking.

Opening the door and returning to the house, a sakura color caught her eyes.

"Sakura Fubuki!"

"Rin!" Yae Sakura rushed to Rin's shop and asked anxiously, "Brother is back? Where are the others?"

"Cough~" Rin opened his eyes, and smiled weakly, "Sister is back, brother said that he has something to do in the back mountain, and he will be back in a short time. Hey~ brother asked Sakura to accompany me here. You Are you saying that, Sakura Fubuki?"

"Hey, hey~" Sakura Fukiyuki, who was half exposed, groaned softly, responding to Yae Rin.

The smile on Yae Rin's pale face grew brighter.

Yae Sakura thought a lot in an instant.

He forced a smile and said, "I'll go to the side room to prepare my things first, and then I'll go to the back mountain to ask my brother to come back for dinner. Rin must be good."

"Uh-huh."

Yae Sakura took a deep look at her sister, then turned and walked towards the side room.

Spreading out the small black cloth bag, Yae Sakura carefully calculated the belongings of the three siblings.

"Go to my brother first."

Yae Sakura ran towards the outside of the shrine.

Just then, a black shadow flashed into Rin's room.
