Remember in a second [Wanben Station] Mobile phone users enter the address: m.xinwanben.com

I don't know if it is because of the upcoming sacrifice, but the weather is very cool today, and there are faint dark clouds gathering in the sky.

"It must be the great Fox God who has sensed our sincerity!"

"After the successful sacrifice, the great fox god will definitely send down divine water!"

Yaeji held Yae Sakura's little hand, and the siblings walked past the villagers.

"Master Ji!"

"Master Sakura!"

Because it is a formal occasion, everyone also uses some formal address, which is not as casual as usual.

It was the first time for Ying to participate in the sacrificial ceremony, and she could only keep a stern face when she saw that the normally peaceful villagers became extremely serious. In fact, she was very unaccustomed to this kind of occasion, and was even a little frightened. Her petite body curled up unobtrusively. Even though her brother was holding hands, the little girl was still half a body behind, so that she would not look so obvious.

The sacrifices in the village are far from the cumbersome national level. People only wear black clothes and fox masks. Yae Sakura, who is a candidate for a shrine maiden, is dressed in a shrine maiden costume.

On the altar, a little girl knelt on it, with her little head lowered, her two little hands tightly crossed and placed on her chest.

There were still a few drops of water on the floor.

The shrine master of Yae Shrine first appeared, and then the old woman with gray hair and stooped body praised the fox god who protected the village.

The process was very simple, Yae Ji silently put on the fox mask.

From the slits in the mask, the field of vision is extremely limited, as if the whole world is distorted in front of your eyes.

The surroundings of the altar became completely quiet. The girl kneeling on the ground trembled slightly, and more and more water dripped from the ground. Yaeji seemed to have thought of something, and scanned the villagers back and forth wearing a fox mask.

Daisuke is not here!

Perhaps he was still being held in a warehouse in the village.

"Now! Dedicate the sacrifice to the great fox god!"

Looking at his father who was wearing a fox mask and holding a sharp knife on the altar, Yaeji felt chills all over his body. He couldn't imagine that he would become like that in the future.

For the continuation of a village, paying one person's life seems... worth it?

Can......

"Boom~"

The dark clouds in the sky were even worse. First, an electric snake was split in the distance, making the samurai sword ready to sacrifice look even colder. Then, there was thunder again, as if a god had descended.

Those villagers wearing fox masks knelt down one after another. Although they couldn't see their faces, Yazhongji knew that they must be very fanatical!

The parents of the girl who was sacrificed were kneeling in the first row outside the altar. The two of them seemed to be possessed. They said these messy words, but kept their heads on the ground again and again to show their respect to the gods. humble.

"Bah!——"

Except for the electric snake, there are no other precursors at all!

The man in black on the altar raised the knife and dropped it, the hot blood splashed from Liang's body formed a half-moon shape, and the scarlet that slid from the knife gradually gathered at the tip of the knife and gradually dripped down.

Yaeji covered Yae Sakura's eyes, and silently lowered her head, not looking at the girl who went to "worship the god".

Yaeji felt that Sakura's body was shaking, and her little hands were gradually losing warmth, as if the dead body that fell on the stage was her.

He turned Sakura's shoulders, hugged the little girl into his arms, and patted the back lightly.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, my brother will bear these for you in the future."

Although Yazhongji said this, he also knew that the sacrifices in the village were generally presided over by the gods, but the witches could communicate with the gods and offer sacrifices to the gods.

So... from now on, only Sakura will have the blood of innocent people on her hands.

Even if he wants to change his ways, the village will never allow him to destroy the ancestral teachings. The reason why this generation of Yae God Lords did this by themselves is entirely because the previous priestess had already died in battle, and the alternate priestess was too young.

"Fool! What folly!"

This sentence suddenly appeared in Yaeji's mind, just like when he saw Sakura Fubuki for the first time before.

He can swear that these are not what he came up with at all! Before that, he didn't even know what the words "fancy" and "ignorance" meant!

The strong wind blew, and the dark red blood dripped from the knife body more quickly. The villagers didn't feel the chill, but instead they worshiped the gods with enthusiasm.

The electric snake and the thunder came on stage one after another, and the dark clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker. It looked like sweet rain would fall at any moment.

But......

The thunder in the sky became more and more muffled and farther away. Some villagers looked up at the sky in confusion.

The dark clouds that had gathered together quickly drifted away, and in the blink of an eye, dawn broke, and a ray of light happened to shine into the village by coincidence.

Then, the sun in the sky began to exert its strength, and a mysterious force dispersed the clouds in the sky, and there was a tendency for the sky to be cloudless and the sun to shine brightly.

as expected.

The wind stopped, the clouds disappeared, and the thunder disappeared.

There was no sound around the altar.

They are not sending floods and praying to the gods to dispel the clouds. But because of the severe drought, I want to pray to the gods to control the clouds and rain, and to save the village with rainwater irrigation.

what is happening?

Even Yaeji was dumbfounded.

According to the records of the Yae Clan, even if there was no rain when the sacrifices were offered, the dark clouds gathered and began to change into a cloudy sky, and then there was a burst of torrential rain to make up for the vitality before the dark clouds dissipated.

This... not to mention the thunder and rain, not even a single drop of rain! The sun is shining directly, and the temperature is soaring!

Standing aside, Yachongji took off his mask, only to find that the old woman under the altar had an unusually ugly face, as if she had swallowed a blowfly alive!

"She must know something!"

Yazhongji stared at the old woman, the old woman seemed to feel her eyes, and looked at Yazhongji, then looked away guiltily.

Looking down, the couple who were kneeling in the first row also lifted their masks, their faces were full of horror, as if they were overly frightened, and when someone next to them accidentally bumped into them, their reactions were extremely strong.

"It's not me, it's not me, it's not me! She wants Ryo to serve the gods!"

The woman was emotionally broken, and there were many inexplicable messages in the nonsense.

Yaeji patted Sakura on the shoulder, and Sakura who was hiding in his arms opened her eyes timidly, looking at everything that happened in front of her in confusion.

"Hey, wait for me here."

"Um."

Yaeji squeezed through the crowd, everyone had panicked expressions on their faces.

"Are we...are we offending the gods?"

"Didn't Daisuke say yesterday that he and Ryo had completed their husband and wife affairs? Later, he asked his mother-in-law to go for an appraisal..."

When the young man saw everyone looking at him, his voice became lower and lower.

"Is Ryo the pure daughter?!"

"Grandma! You should say something!"

"I can't make a mistake in my appraisal!" The old woman looked gloomy, "There must have been a mistake last night!"

The eyes of the old woman and Yachongji met, and then quickly moved away in an instant.
