The layout of Yae-shen's main room has always been very simple, even simpler than the rooms of the three brothers and sisters of Yae-ji.
The father and son sat opposite each other, neither of them spoke first.
half an hour.
"Hate me?" Yae God Lord asked.
Yaeji looked at his father in surprise, in his impression, this man would never say such a thing.
"Hate!" Ya Chongji said firmly without any hesitation.
God Lord Yae no longer looked at Yaeji, but looked at other places in the house, as if he wanted to find memories from those places.
"More than twenty years ago, I also hated my father." A self-deprecating smile appeared on Yae's face, "It's not just him, I also hate that woman."
Yaeji knew that his father was talking about his grandparents, but he didn't have the slightest impression of these two people, and there was no trace of their lives in the shrine.
Yaeji has learned a lot about the past events in the village in recent days. Except for Rin, the closest priestess blood sacrifice happened more than twenty years ago.
At that time, she died on the altar, and her soul went to serve the fox god. It should be his aunt.
That 'aunt' who is related to him by blood, when she went to serve the Fox God, was probably younger than him now.
"Why don't you go and save her?"
God Lord Yae turned his gaze back to Yae Ji from other places, and the self-mockery on his face gradually turned into bitterness.
"Ji, you have to know that not everyone has your talent." Yae-san recalled the day of the sacrificial ceremony, two patrol members pulled him, and he yelled hoarse, but what happened
Yaeji still couldn't hide his emotions well, he was obviously not very satisfied with his father's answer.
"That being the case! Why do you want to add the pain you have suffered to your own children! Do you also want to be like grandpa? Do you want your children to hate you for the rest of their lives?!"
"No." Lord Yae shook his head, "You don't understand, you are still young, you..."
"Enough! You will all come up with such excuses! You are still young, who didn't grow up from the child stage?" Thinking of the wound on Rin's ankle, and thinking that Rin might never stand up in this life, Yae Ji The anger in the chest gathered again.
"If Mother is still here, she will definitely not agree to sacrifice Rin!"
Lord Yae, since the shrine maiden of the previous generation died in battle, the person with the highest status in Yae village dared not look into his child's eyes anymore.
"No, you don't understand us. Even if your mother is still alive, the sacrifice will still be held. Your mother will perform the knife herself, just like when Ling died in the past twenty years... "
"You fart!" Yazhongji said angrily, no longer ignoring years of good upbringing, he stood up and yelled at his father in front of him.
"Mother, you won't be like what you said! Only you! Only you! Auntie's death has turned you into a psychopath! Your soul has been twisted by then!"
God Lord Yae was slightly stunned, he was not surprised by Yaeji's anger, but because Yaeji popped out many terms that he had never heard of before.
With Yae's IQ, he could understand what the child in front of him was referring to after a little thought.
look directly at it.
"It's so similar, it's almost exactly the same as me at the beginning, I seem to be more exaggerated than you. But what happened? Mother still..."
"She is what she is! Everyone is different!"
"But the god masters and witches of the Yae family will all live in the same way." The Yae master quietly looked at Yae Ji: "In another ten years, when you sit in my position, you will also become like this."
"This is the curse and fate of the Yae clan! Everyone will eventually become what they hate the most!"
"For the sake of the village and the Yae clan, we have to sacrifice Rin, just like the last generation of gods decided to sacrifice Ling more than 20 years ago!"
Yaeji glared fiercely at the Yae God Lord, "At least I will never live like you! I will never become someone I hate! Curse? Fate? I never believe in that thing! Destiny is to be controlled by yourself of!"
"Heh~" Lord Yae laughed, and Yaeji felt baffled, since his mother left, this was the first time he saw his father in this appearance.
"He also said that he wouldn't be like me. You and I were carved out of the same mold. Destiny? From the moment you believe in existence, you will always be under control."
Yaeji suddenly sat down.
"I'm going to take Rin to Dacheng for treatment."
"The hamstring is not connected well."
"Go and treat her cough." Yaeji looked directly at his father and said seriously, "Sakura will follow me."
"good."
Yaeji's straightforward answer made Yaeji feel unrealistic.
"We may not be back for a long time."
"It's up to you, as long as I die, you will be the master of the Yae God."
"What if I'm wrong?"
Lord Yae turned to look at the shrine outside, and asked, "Are you willing? The outside is not as simple as you imagined. The monsters that eat people are terrifying. But some people are thousands of times more terrifying than monsters. They not only eat people , will also destroy your consciousness, plunder your soul, and make your life worse than death."
"Yae Village has existed longer than Shinano Country. Why can we continue? We are blessed by the fox god and protected by the Yae Clan."
Yazhongji listened quietly, and said, "I can't be scared, my will is still firm."
"You can actually keep Sakura." Yae God Lord persuaded.
"No, she will go with me too. You and your mother have lived together since childhood, don't you know what her childhood was like?"
"That's fate."
Yaeji shook his head and stood up again, "I never believed in those things. When the rain stops and Rin's body is better, we will leave for Dacheng."
The Lord Yae who was sitting there also stood up and said, "There is a box in the warehouse that contains Shinano's coins. The doctor will not treat Rin in vain."
"I see."
"Wait." God Lord Yae called to stop Yae Ji, but he turned around and walked towards the inner room, and after a while, he walked out of the room holding the long box.
Handed it to Yaeji, "Take this."
Yaeji was puzzled, and opened the long box, and Ying Chuixue lay quietly in it.
Seemingly sensing Yachongji's arrival, Ying Chuixue trembled a little impatiently, and let out a sword chant of "嘤嘤嘤".
"Thanks."
Yazhongji closed the sword box, put his arm through a black belt on the box, put it behind his back, and turned to leave.
"Ji, I hope you can come back in the future. At least when I die..."
Yaeji waved his hand, without looking back: "When will the wells in the village be enough for the fields and animals, and after those harmful dogmas are abolished, I will consider coming back."
"After all, this is my home."
