Era of Breakdown

Chapter 10: Sacrifice

   I don’t know if it’s because of the upcoming rituals. Today’s weather is very shady and dark clouds gather in the sky.

   "The great fox **** must have felt our sincerity!"

   "After a successful sacrifice, the great fox **** will definitely drop the water!"

   Yae Ji held Yae Sakura's small hand, and the two brothers and sisters passed by the villagers.

   "Master Ji!"

   "Sakura-sama!"

  Because it is a formal occasion, everyone uses more formal names, not as casual as usual.

  Ying was the first time to participate in the ceremony. Seeing the peaceful villagers in the weekdays became extremely serious, she could only have a small face. In fact, she was very unaccustomed to such occasions, and even a little scared, her petite body curled up slightly, even if she was held by her brother, the little girl was still half of her body behind, so that she would not look so obvious.

   The sacrifice in the village is far from the cumbersome of rising to the national level. People just wear black clothes with fox masks. As an alternate maiden, Yae Sakura wears a maiden costume.

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

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

   The **** of Yae Shrine first appeared, and the old woman with gray hair and rickety body praised the fox **** who protected the village.

   The process is very simple, Yaeji silently put on a fox mask.

   From the slit of the mask, the field of vision is extremely limited, as if the whole world is twisted in front of my eyes.

   The area around the altar was 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 wore a fox mask to scan the villagers back and forth.

  Dasuke didn't come!

   Maybe he is still being held in a warehouse in the village.

   "Now! Give sacrifices to the great fox god!"

   looked at his father, who was wearing a fox mask on the altar and holding a sharp knife, Yaeji had a cold body, and he couldn't imagine that he would become that way in the future.

   For the continuation of a village, giving a person's life seems to be... worth it?

Can......

   "Boom~"

   The dark clouds in the sky were even worse. First, an electric snake was cut out in the distance, making the samurai sword that was going to be sacrificed to look even colder, and then thunder rang again, as if a **** descended.

  The villagers wearing fox masks knelt down. Although they can't see their faces, Yae Ji knows that they must be very enthusiastic!

The parents of the girl who were the sacrifices were kneeling in the first row of the outside of the altar. The two of them seemed to be enchanted. They said these messy words, but their heads were buckled on the ground time and time again to show their deities to the gods. Humble.

   "Hey!—"

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

   The black-clothed man on the altar lifted the knife and dropped it, and the hot blood sprayed from Liang's body spattered into a half moon shape, and the scarlet that fell from the knife body gradually converged on the tip of the knife and gradually dripped.

   Yae Ji covered Yae Sakura's eyes, and silently lowered her head, not looking at the girl who went to "enshrine the gods".

   Yaeji felt that Sakura's body was trembling, and her hands gradually lost temperature, as if the dead body lying on the stage was her.

   pulled Sakura's shoulders over, took the little girl into her arms, and patted her back lightly.

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

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

   So... Sakura is the only one who has innocent blood on his hands in the future.

   Even if he wants to change his way, the village will never allow him to destroy the ancestral training. The reason why the eightfold gods of this generation did this by themselves was entirely because the former maiden had already died in battle, and the alternate maiden was too small.

   "Stupidity! What a ignorance!"

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

   He can swear, these are not what he thought of! Before that, he didn't even know what the words "beautiful" and "ignorant" really meant!

   The strong wind blew, and the red blood dripped from the knife body more quickly. The villagers didn't feel the chill, but instead worshipped the gods fiercely.

  Electric snake and thunder played one after another, and the dark clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker. It looked like a sweet rain would fall at any time.

But......

   The thunder in the sky was getting duller and farther and farther away. Some villagers looked up at the sky in confusion.

   The dark clouds that had gathered together quickly drifted away, but in a blink of an eye it was dawn, and a ray of light shone into the village by accident.

   Then, the sun in the sky began to exert force, and a mysterious force dispelled the clouds in the sky, and there was a tendency of cloudless and scorching sun.

as predicted.

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

   There is no sound around the altar.

   They are not flooding, praying for the gods to drive away the dark clouds. But because of the severe drought, I want to pray for the gods to control the clouds and rain, and come to a rain irrigation to save the village.

what is happening?

   Even Yaeji was dumbfounded.

  According to the records of the Yae Clan, even if there is no rain when the sacrifice is offered, it is the gathering of dark clouds and it begins to change into a cloudy sky, and then there is a majestic rain to make up for the vitality, and the dark clouds will dissipate.

  This...not to mention the thunder, the rain is getting smaller, not even a drop of rain! The direct scorching sun shines, and the temperature soars!

   Yaeji, who was standing by, took off his mask, only to realize that the old woman under the altar had a very ugly face, as if he had swallowed a blow fly alive!

   "She must know something!"

   Yaeji stared at the old woman, the old woman seemed to feel her gaze, looked at Yaeji, and then looked away with a guilty conscience.

   Looking down again, the couple who had been kneeling in the first row also lifted their masks. Their faces were full of horror, as if they were too frightened. When someone next to them accidentally touched 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 has an emotional breakdown, and the nonsense contains a lot of inexplicable information.

   Yaeji patted Sakura on the shoulder, and Sakura, who was hiding in his arms, opened her eyes timidly, looking at what was happening before her in confusion.

   "Hey, wait for me here."

"Um."

   Yaeji squeezed through the crowd, panic expressions on everyone's faces.

   "Are we... angering the gods?"

   "Didn’t Dasuke say yesterday that he and Ryo had completed their husband and wife affairs? Later, he asked his mother-in-law to appraise..."

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

   "Is Ryo a pure girl?!"

   "Mother-in-law! You said something!"

   "I can't make a mistake in the appraisal!" The old woman looked gloomy, "There must be an error last night!"

   The old woman and Yaeji's eyes met, and then they moved away quickly.
