Chapter 42 Let's go to see the cherry blossoms together
Every beast that can be called a "demon" will have more or less such crystals on its body. Some crystals are crystal clear, while others are pink and purple, which is beautiful.
Yae Ji put Daisuke's body aside, took out Ying Fukiyuki, and pointed the tip of the cherry white knife at the strange crystal on the boar demon's body.
No response.
Swing the knife!
"Click~"
The crystal shattered and fell off the monster's body.
Yaeji thought for a moment, tore off a piece of cloth from Daisuke's black robe, wrapped his right hand, and touched the broken crystal.
"receive."
The fragments indeed disappeared.
Yaeji focused his attention, and a blue panel appeared in front of his eyes. In the material column, the icon of broken crystals already appeared.
Introduction: The beautiful crystals contain tiny Honkai energy.
"Honkai energy?" Yaeji wondered, "Is that the source that turns wild beasts into monsters?"
Regardless of whether it was useful or not, Yaeji swung his sword to chop off all the crystal blocks on the monster and put them into his equipment backpack.
Fifteen wild boar demons, two wolf demons, and two bloody wolf demons provided a total of twenty-one fragmented crystals.
Among them, the wild boar demon and ordinary wolf demon only provide one copy each, while the bloody wolf demon provides two copies.
Although he didn't know what the purpose of these things was, Yaeji still collected them to prevent any more ferocious beasts from the mountains from eating them and turning into monsters, causing trouble everywhere!
Regardless of whether this is possible, Yaeji still thinks it is necessary to take them away.
Yae Ji spent a lot of energy to kill the monster, and carried Daisuke's emaciated body behind him. Yaeji felt a little overwhelmed physically.
This time he did not use [Shunpo], which was extremely energy-consuming. The so-called [Shunstep] was something he realized from the power-generating technique of Shun Shen Deng, which could explode at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people in a short period of time.
As for the name, it just popped out of his head. Yaeji was already used to strange terms popping up in his head from time to time.
Carrying Daisuke's emaciated body all the way to the back mountain, he placed it behind Zai Liang's tombstone. Yaeji touched his waist, he couldn't use Sakura Fubuki to dig dirt, right?
From the back mountain to the shrine, Yae Ji's costume as a candidate shrine maiden was stained with a mixture of demon blood and human blood.
I walked to the warehouse and picked up a shovel. As expected, I put the shovel into my backpack.
Introduction: The shovel in Yae Shrine is made of stone concentrate and cedar wood, and comes from the skilled blacksmith in Yae Village.
Yae Ji went through the warehouse and collected some of almost everything.
Fir wood, pine wood, camphor wood.
Stone concentrate, red gold ore, silver ore.
Royal herb, Prunella vulgaris, rush.
...The material column in the backpack immediately became full.
After playing enough, Yaeji finally thought that there was Daisuke's body in the back mountain waiting for him to dispose of it.
After walking out of the warehouse, Yaeji glanced at the temple. He faintly heard someone arguing about something in the meeting hall behind the temple.
Without asking, Yaeji walked towards the main gate of the shrine. After passing by the side room for people to live, he heard Rin coughing again.
With a slight frown on his slender eyebrows, Yaeji, who had almost reached the door of the shrine, turned around and walked back into the house.
"cold!"
Sitting in the bunk, Yae Rin looked up at Yae Ji with his eyes blank, and there was a streak of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.
The handkerchief spread out in his hand had long been stained with black blood, which was particularly eye-catching.
"Brother...brother. How do you..."
Yae Ji only told his father and Sakura about going to the back mountain alone to find the source, and Rin didn't know about it.
Rin was shocked when she saw Yaeji walking into the house covered in blood.
This frightened her, causing her chest to feel tight again, and she coughed one after another. Rin hurriedly covered her mouth with a handkerchief.
"Cough! Cough cough cough!"
Yaeji wanted to step forward, but he was afraid that the smell of blood would irritate Rin. With a thought in his heart, Yaeji took out Sakura Fukiyuki from his backpack.
Rin was still coughing and didn't see clearly.
Pulling out the blade, a faint fragrance of cherry blossoms wafted out.
I don't know if it was because of the scent of the spiritual sword, but Rin's cough gradually subsided.
Yae Ji placed Sakura Fukiyuki next to Rin's shop. The fragrance of cherry blossoms neutralized the pungent smell of blood on his body very well.
"I went out and killed a few demons, nothing happened. Where is Sakura? Why didn't she take care of you?"
Yae Rin's eyes slowly focused, he coughed a few more times and said, "Sister went to the meeting hall."
"Still there?" Yaeji raised his eyebrows. He had already solved the source in the valley... Taking a look at the sky, maybe he went there earlier.
Yaeji was no longer confused, he knew that the so-called gathering must be another quarrel about sacrifices.
But if anyone dares to take advantage of Rin... Yaeji's still young face flashes with evil aura.
He carefully reached out his hand, took the handkerchief, and gently wiped the bloodshot eyes on Rin's mouth.
"Brother." Lin suddenly said: "Can my disease be cured?"
Yaeji's hand trembled and he took it back calmly.
He smiled and said: "Idiot, stop thinking so wildly. Rin is a good boy, and the gods will protect you."
A smile appeared on Rin's little face.
Yae Ji carefully let Rin lie down on the bed, and then stood up.
"When you get better, let's go to the mountains to see the cherry blossoms together."
"Yes." Lin nodded his head and showed a healing smile: "It's a deal."
"It's a deal."
"Okay, I have something to do when I go to the back mountain, so let Sakura Fukiyuki accompany you here. You must never touch the blade~"
"knew!"
Yaeji thought for a while, then put down the scabbard and walked out of the room alone.
At the door, he turned around and said, "I'll boil the medicine for you when I come back."
"Okay~"
Yae Ji smiled at Rin again, turned and left.
The moment he turned around, his smile faded and his whole person became gloomy.
When he saw Daisuke before, Daisuke was just like Rin, coughing all the time, and his whole body was skin and bones.
As for Daisuke, it was most likely that he was affected by the strange crystal. After Ying Fubuki absorbed the crystal, except that the power became weaker, there was no abnormality, so he dared to put the sharp blade next to Rin.
Concentrating, a blue panel appeared in front of my eyes again.
Material column.
shattered crystal
"Honkai energy...Honkai energy...people will turn into zombies if they are contaminated with it. What about Rin?"
Yae Ji gritted his teeth. He seemed to know the reason for Rin's illness. He urgently wanted to know how to cure the "Honkai" thing.
...
At the same time, the debate in the meeting hall behind the Eightfold Shrine also entered a heated stage.
Dressed in the costume of a candidate miko, Yae Sakura knelt down next to the Lord Yae very obediently, lowering her head slightly and never expressing her opinions.
"Lord God! It has not rained for three months! Please hold another sacrifice!"
"Didn't there be a sacrifice just a month ago? Why hasn't it rained yet?"
"Mother-in-law! You have to say something. After Daisuke broke in to explain the situation a month ago, you went to inspect the sacrifice."
