Chapter 49 Everyone will eventually become what they hate the most
The interior arrangement of Yaeji's master has always been very simple, even simpler than the rooms of Yaeji's three brothers and sisters.
The father and son sat opposite each other, neither of them spoke first.
Half a moment.
"Do you hate me?" asked the Eightfold God Lord.
Yaeji glanced at his father in surprise. In his impression, this man would never say such a thing.
"Hate!" Yae Ji said this categorically without any hesitation.
Lord Yae no longer met Yae Ji's eyes, 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 resented my father." Lord Yae showed a self-deprecating smile on his face, "It's not just him, I also hate that woman."
Yae Ji knew that his father was talking about his grandparents, but he had no impression of these two people, and there was no trace of their life in the shrine.
Yaeji has learned a lot about the past events in the village in recent days. Apart from Rin, the most recent one was a shrine maiden blood sacrifice, which took place more than twenty years ago.
The person who died on the altar and whose soul went to serve the Fox God must have been his aunt.
The 'aunt' who was connected to him by blood was most likely younger than he is now when he went to serve the Fox God.
"Why not save her?"
Lord Yae turned his gaze from other places back to Yae Ji, and the self-mockery on his face gradually turned into bitterness.
"Ji, you have to know that not everyone has a talent like yours." Lord Yae recalled that on the day of the sacrifice, two patrol members pulled him and he screamed until he became hoarse. But what was the result?
Yaeji still couldn't hide his emotions well, and he was obviously not very satisfied with his father's answer.
"That being the case! Why should the pain you have suffered be inflicted on your children! Do you also want to be like grandpa? Do you want your children to resent you for the rest of their lives?!"
"No." The Eightfold God Lord shook his head, "You don't understand, you are still young, you..."
"Enough! You all will come up with such excuses! You are still young, you are still young, who has not grown up from a child stage?" Thinking of the wound on Rin's ankle, thinking that Rin may never stand up in this life, Yae Ji
The anger in his chest gathered again.
"If Mother were still here, she would definitely not agree to sacrifice Rin!"
Since the death of the previous shrine maiden, Lord Yae, the most noble person in Yae Village, he dared not look into the eyes of his own child.
"No, you don't understand us. Even if your mother is still alive, the sacrifice will still be held. It will be performed by your mother herself, just like when Ling died more than 20 years ago..."
"You fart!" Yaeji said angrily, and regardless of his years of good upbringing, he stood up and yelled at his father in front of him.
"Mother will not be like you said! Only you! Only you! Your aunt's death has turned you into a psychopath! Your soul was already distorted by that time!"
Lord Yae was slightly stunned. He was not surprised because of Yae Ji's anger, but because many terms he had never heard of popped out of Yae Ji's mouth.
With the IQ of the Eightfold God Lord, he could understand what the child in front of him was referring to after just a little thought.
Look directly at it.
"What a resemblance, almost exactly the same as me back then. I seem to be more extreme than you. But what happened? Mother is still..."
"She is who she is! Everyone is different!"
"But the divine masters and shrine maidens of the Yae Clan will all live in the same way." The Yae Sacred Master looked at Yae Ji quietly: "In another ten years, if you sit in my position, you will look 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 previous generation of God Lord decided to sacrifice Ling more than twenty years ago!"
Yae Ji glared at Lord Yae fiercely, "At least I will never live like you! And I will never become someone I hate! Curse? Fate? I never believe in that thing! Destiny must be controlled by oneself.
of!"
"Ha~" Lord Yae smiled, and Yae Ji felt baffled. This was the first time he saw his father like this since his mother left.
"You also said that you won't be like me. You and I were carved from the same mold. Destiny? From the moment you believe in His existence, you will always be controlled by Him."
Yaeji suddenly sat down.
"I want to take Lin to the big city for treatment."
"The hamstring connection is not good."
"Go and treat her cough." Yaeji looked directly at his father and said seriously: "Sakura will also follow me."
"good."
Lord Yaeji's straightforward answer made Yaeji feel unrealistic.
"We may not come back for a long time."
"It's up to you, as long as you wait until I die and you become the eighth level god."
"What if I'm wrong?"
Lord Yae turned to look at the shrine outside and asked: "Are you willing? It's not as simple as you think outside. Human-eating monsters are certainly scary. But some people are thousands of times more terrifying than monsters. They not only eat people.
, it will also destroy your consciousness, rob your soul, and make you 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, "It doesn't scare me. My will is quite strong."
"You can actually keep Sakura." Lord Yae advised.
"No, she will also come with me. You and your mother have lived together since childhood. Don't you know what her childhood was like?"
"That's fate."
Yae Ji shook his head and stood up again, "I never believe in those things. When the rain stops and Lin feels better, we will leave for the big city."
Lord Yae who was sitting there also stood up and said: "There is a box in the warehouse containing Shinano coins. The doctor will not treat Rin in vain."
"I see."
"Wait a minute." Master Yaeji called to Yaeji, but he turned around and walked towards the back room. Not long after, he walked out of the house holding a long box.
Handed it to Yaeji, "Take this with you."
Yae Ji was puzzled and opened the long box, Ying Fukiyuki was lying quietly in it.
As if she sensed the arrival of Yae Ji, Ying Fukiyuki couldn't wait to tremble twice and let out a sword chant of "嘤嘤嘤".
"Thanks."
Yaeji closed the sword box, put his arm through a black belt on the box, carried it behind his back, turned around and left.
"Ji, I hope you can come back in the future. At least until I die..."
Yaeji waved his hand and did not look back: "When the wells in the village are enough for the farmland and animals can use them, and when those harmful dogmas are abolished, I will consider coming back."
"After all, this is my home."
...
