The old woman narrowed her cloudy eyes and wore clothes with a cherry blossom mark on her body.
"Mother-in-law, please come forward and explain! Liang is not a pure girl, but she is used as a sacrifice to the fox god. This is not..."
"Didn't I say it before?" the old woman said, with an unquestionable tone in her voice.
"It was in the afternoon when I checked. At that time, Liang's Yuan Yin was not broken. It must have been that bastard Daisuke who took Liang's body by force that night. Liang's parents can testify to this."
"Haha." The gray-haired old man in the corner said tit for tat: "Liang's parents are both dead, so of course you can say whatever you want. I remember the scene of the sacrifice that day very clearly."
"Hmph!" The old woman snorted coldly upon seeing this, "Okay, I am willing to accept the punishment. But not now, we should confirm the next sacrifice."
The old woman turned to look at the silent Eightfold Divine Master on the main seat, and said: "Master Divine Master, we can't wait any longer. Even if Master Ji dug the well under the guidance of the gods, those two wells are not enough for the village. This year
We in Yae Village don’t have any surplus grain to hand over to Shinano Country’s taxes.”
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 drop the topic and loudly discussed the issue of sacrifice.
"Lord God." The old woman spoke again, and all the clan members shut their mouths.
"It was indeed my fault that I failed to sacrifice a pure daughter to the Fox God last time. But this happened to me decades ago. In order to appease the God's anger, a child with the blood of a miko must be sacrificed.
That's all." The old woman pointed out.
This time, the clan members, including other elders, were silent, waiting quietly for the Lord God's speech.
As early as yesterday, or even earlier, they had successively approached the Lord Yae, and even secretly relied on their peers to find out about Yae Rin.
They originally wanted to finalize the matter yesterday, but they didn't expect Yaeji to encounter the source of the monster in the canyon. After they returned home, they learned through various channels that the current shrine maiden, Yaeji, could mobilize the spiritual sword Sakura.
Fubuki's power, in terms of combat prowess, can even surpass the guarding generals, exorcists and other important figures in the big city.
Now, while that person is away, the Eightfold God Lord can finalize it, so that they can feel at ease.
They knew very well what kind of person the Eightfold God Lord was.
For the continuation of the village, each generation of the eighth level god...
Lord Yae, who was kneeling on the main seat, stood up and attracted the attention of everyone present.
Beside her, Yae Sakura's face was pale and full of fear, and sweat was dripping from her forehead.
"Father..."
The Lord Yae seemed not to have heard Sakura's call, and stood up and said: "Then let Rin be the sacrifice for the next sacrifice. She has been ill for a long time and has been getting worse recently. Doctor Oshiro has looked at it several times and found nothing.
A good way. If it can contribute to the village, she will definitely be very happy."
Yae Sakura's petite body was trembling, her mind was blank, and she was at a loss. She subconsciously wanted to seek help from her brother, but in the end she found that she was the only one around.
"Master of the God." The old woman kneeling on the left side asked: "Does the sacrifice have to be presided over by the contemporary shrine maiden Ji-sama?"
Everyone's heart was in their throats.
Eightfold Ji.
A well-deserved monster.
At a young age, she joined a patrol to hunt wild beasts. She even became a shrine maiden, easily killing several corpse demons by herself.
These patrols can also do it, but what really scares them is... this generation of shrine maidens has also been recognized by the spiritual sword Sakura Fukiyuki, and can control the power of the spiritual sword.
Its combat power has soared to an incredible level!
Is the captain of the patrol strong enough? He uses the first four steps of Luo Ying Slash so well that he can fight against the wolf monster by himself.
But what about others?
The four elites who led the patrol died tragically at the claws of the bear demon!
Yae Ji, who was holding a spiritual sword, killed the bear demon in just a few moves.
These are all things they learned through various clan forces. No matter whether they have been processed in various ways or become more perverted, they cannot change the fact that Yae Ji is the number one combat force in Yae Village today.
If that person doesn't want his sister to be sacrificed to the Fox God...should he perform the sacrifice or not?
Yaeji was still a child, and everyone was afraid that she would lose her rationality and ignore the consequences.
And from many inquiries, it turns out that this generation of shrine maidens loves their two younger sisters very much.
If she were allowed to host the sacrifice in person...
It was obviously a day of severe drought and the air was muggy, but people shivered.
It is the tradition of Yae Village for shrine maidens to preside over sacrifices. This...
The Eightfold God Lord turned sideways, with no emotion in his eyes.
"Ji won't be participating this time, Sakura. You will host tomorrow's sacrifice. You should prepare well."
"It's...Father...Father."
Sakura's petite body was trembling, her hands clenched tightly into fists, and she finally grasped the skirt on her thighs.
All these actions were seen by the Eightfold God Lord.
Leave.
After Lord Yae left, people stood up one after another and glanced at Yae Sakura more or less.
"Tell me, is it appropriate not to let a miko-sama preside over this ritual?"
"Go, go, go, talk nonsense, Miko-sama, it's not something we can discuss."
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this. Don't you think it's too soon to hold the sacrifice tomorrow?"
"I think you are eager to do it as soon as possible."
"Tsk, you can't say that. Our respect for the gods means we have to set aside a day to organize and prepare, right?"
When the man saw everyone leaving, he carefully said to the other ear: "It's not because of Master Ji."
...
Yae Sakura didn't know how she walked out of the meeting hall. She was completely confused and her mind was in a state of confusion.
"What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?"
"Brother...where are you?"
"I want to take Rin to escape... Let's go to the mountains, no, 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 touch of cherry blossom caught her eye.
"Sakura Fukiyuki!"
"Rin!" Yae Sakura rushed to Lin's shop and asked anxiously: "Brother is back? Where are the others?"
"Ahem~" Rin opened her eyes and smiled weakly, "Sister is back. Brother said he had something to do in the back mountain and would be back soon. Oh~ Brother also asked Ying Fukiyuki to stay with me here. You
Isn’t that right, Sakura Fukiyuki?”
"嘤嘘嘤~" Sakura Fukiyuki, who was half exposed, moaned softly, responding to Yae Rin.
The smile on Yae Rin's pale face became even brighter.
Yae Sakura thought a lot in that moment.
Qiang smiled and said: "I will go to the side room to prepare some things first, and then go to the back mountain to ask my brother to come back for dinner. Lin needs to be good."
"Uh-huh."
Yae Sakura took a deep look at her sister, turned around and walked towards the side room.
The small black cloth bag was spread out, and Yae Sakura carefully calculated the belongings of the three brothers and sisters.
"Go to my brother first."
Yae Sakura ran towards the outside of the shrine.
At this moment, a dark shadow flashed into Lin's room.
