Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

Besides, Kallen is still at the shrine.

What changes will happen to a living person after spending a night in a shrine? This is the answer Li Mo needs to get.

When Li Mo just reached the bottom of the stairs leading to the shrine, he saw someone familiar.

"Mr. Mo? Good morning."

Yaezakura was cleaning the fallen leaves on the steps with a broom. When she saw Li Mo, she greeted him with a smile.

Li Mo nodded and asked, "You are more diligent than I thought."

"Because there's a lot to do. After I clean the ladder, I'll go up the mountain to pick herbs for Lin. Her forehead burned badly last night, and I want to pick some heat-repellent herbs to make her some soup."

Yaezakura explained as she quickly swept the fallen leaves to both sides of the steps with a broom.

Li Mo stood still, and after a moment's hesitation, he said to Yaezakura, "I know a little bit about medicine. As a token of my gratitude for saving your life yesterday, I can make Lin better."

Help?

Of course it was a lie. Li Mo just wanted to check Yae Rin's condition and verify whether she posed a potential threat.

Yaezakura is very special, and Yaezakura Shinshu is suspected to be able to transform into a ghost, so Yaezakura Rin is probably not much better.

"Really!"

"But Mo Jun, aren't you just good at killing people?"

"Um... sorry! I don't know why I said that. Please forgive my rudeness!"

Yaesakura's expression changed back and forth, from excitement after hearing that Lin was saved, to subconscious rebuttal of Li Mo's saving people in her memory, to shame for her rude remarks.

Such rich expressions...

Li Mo couldn't help but sigh.

It is hard to imagine that Yaezakura, who has such intense emotions, is a demon powerful enough to control the demon sword Akazenzakura.

Li Mo had a premonition that if the knife cut open his head, he might not even be able to restart.

Because the killed ghost sheep failed to restart successfully, it was easily torn and eaten by the evil ghost on the red-stained cherry blossoms.

Li Mo stepped forward and reminded: "There is no time to lose, lead the way."

Yaezakura glanced at the fallen leaves around her.

"But...if we can't clean this place during the day...never mind, Rin is more important!"

After hesitating for only a second, Yaezakura threw the broom aside and climbed the stairs briskly, looking back at Li Mo from time to time to see if he was following closely behind her.

During the conversation, the two chatted about some unimportant things.

Yae Sakura: "Mo-kun has great physical strength. Although I have been used to walking on ladders since I was a child, I still feel a little tired when I go down."

Li Mo said straight man: "I do have good physical strength."

Yae Sakura: "Have you eaten yet, Mo-kun? Why don't you stay at the shrine after you see Rin and I'll make you breakfast. Kallen should be up soon too, she's sleeping soundly."

Li Mo: "What to eat? Pork from the butcher down the mountain?"

Yae Sakura: "Well...Rin doesn't like to eat those. I rarely buy food from the mountain. Most of the ingredients are picked or grown by me personally, so please rest assured, it won't hurt your body."

Li Mo: "I've already eaten it when I came here, just make it for Karen."

During the conversation, Li Mo confirmed this even more.

Yaezakura is completely a living person.

And it’s not the kind of ghost like the one in Dormitory 303 that deceives itself into thinking it’s a living person and exhibits the characteristics of a living person.

She is just an ordinary twelve-year-old girl.

The strange changes and loss of control in the sheep pen that night were most likely caused by Akazome Sakura.

In the original work, Sakura Fubuki was a spiritual sword that was once enshrined in Yae Shrine. When Yae Sakura was controlled by the will of Honkai, she killed innocent humans and was contaminated into the demon sword Akazume Sakura.

Akazen Sakura bleeds, and Sakura Fubuki protects her.

It just corresponds to Yaezakura's two states.

There was just one thing Li Mo didn't understand...

Why Yaezakura didn't bear the cost at all.

Apart from the Akazume Sakura, she doesn't have any contaminated characteristics at all.

Logically speaking, the use of strange things will inevitably require incurring varying degrees of costs, the most basic of which is pollution.

Including Li Mo himself using the strange pistol, every time he uses the strange pistol, it will release a trace of pollution.

However, due to special reasons, Li Mo does not need to consider this pollution.

Then what was Yaezakura's reason? The fact that she had killed a demon was definitely not something an ordinary person could bear.

and……

Li Mo took a glance and saw that Yaezakura's shoulder was wrapped in bandages, indicating that there was physical damage caused by the strange pistol.

No matter how small the power of a bullet is, it is still a bullet, and physical damage is inevitable.

However, the damage is really low, and only a shot into the vital points can kill.

Also, Rin seems to be very repulsive to the villagers.

This can be seen from Yae Sakura's refusal to eat the food provided by the villagers at the foot of the mountain, and her unwillingness to be carried out by Yae Sakura during the sacrifice.

Of course, it's also possible that Rin simply had a lonely and introverted personality as a child.

Soon, Yaezakura brought Li Mo into the shrine.

Li Mo subconsciously sensed the atmosphere of the surrounding environment, but did not receive any feedback.

Pull out the thermometer, which drops as you walk beneath the cherry blossoms in full bloom.

There is no proactive aggression, so I have to put it aside for now.

"Does Mojun like to see cherry blossoms?"

Yaezakura saw Li Mo staring at the cherry tree in the center of the shrine and asked curiously.

Li Mo replied calmly, "Normally, this cherry tree is very big, so it must be very old."

After saying that, Li Mo turned his head to look at Yaezakura, waiting for an answer.

The completeness of the weirdness is closely related to the duration of pollution. Although it may not be completely proportional, any weirdness that lasts more than five hundred years should never be underestimated.

Xiao Yun, Cang Xuan, Dan Zhu... have already given the best answers.

Five hundred years of pollution is the limit of human sanity. After that, will will gradually collapse and eventually all human ethics will be lost.

He said this just to understand when the cherry trees were contaminated. It would be best if he could get the story behind it so that he could more accurately assess the degree of danger.

Yaezakura obviously didn't think that much.

He stood there for a moment, thinking for a moment. "This cherry tree has been beautiful since the year I was born. According to my father, the cherry tree was planted by the founder of Yae Village on the day it was founded. As for how long Yae Village has been around... everyone in the village has many speculations, but there's no actual evidence to prove it."

"Eight hundred years, two thousand years, three thousand years. These are the most widely accepted answers."

Li Mo raised a question: "From a universal perspective, if a village has a history of more than a few hundred years, then there must be traces and evidence left over from that time, even if it's just a tattered piece of clothing or a roll of decayed bamboo slips... Also, since Yae Shrine is a feature of Yae Village, isn't there a document specifically recording this? Or perhaps word of mouth is also fine, such as which generation of shrine maiden you are?"

Yaezakura stood there, her pink and white hands pinching her hair and rubbing it back and forth, thinking again and again.

That seems to be the case.

But something was wrong.

"I don't know. Father never told me. There should be inheritance and records in the castle tower. But it is a restricted area. No one is allowed to enter unless they become the lord of the gods." Yaezakura said frankly.

"Really?" Li Mo seemed to be lost in thought. For some reason, he suddenly said, "I think this tree was planted 50,000 years ago."

"Fifty thousand years?" Yaezakura tilted her head and looked at Li Mo in confusion.

Fifty thousand years, even if there are no natural disasters or man-made disasters, it is impossible, right?

No matter how long-lived a tree is, it cannot live that long.

Most trees only live for a few hundred years, a very few can live for thousands of years, but it is rare to find one that lives for more than ten thousand years.

Excluding various accidents, a cherry tree can only live for a thousand years at most.

Fifty thousand years... that's a huge span, no one would believe it even if I told them.

The two of them tacitly agreed not to argue too much about this topic.

"Mr. Mo, we're here. Lin is inside and should still be asleep. Do you need anything prepared? Whether it's herbs or silver needles, I can get them for you now." Yaezakura led Li Mo to the door and asked carefully.

Li Mo waved his hand, "No need, I brought my own 'herbs'."

This time Li Mo did not lie, he really brought herbs.

He himself is the herb.

Yaezakura glanced at Li Mo, whose hands were empty, and said hesitantly: "But..."

"You don't believe me."

"I believe in Mo Jun!" Yaezakura nodded repeatedly.

According to the current trend, the village doctor is helpless and can only get up early and come back late to pick herbs to relieve Lin's pain, which is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

No, the symptoms are not cured, it just relieves the pain during the illness.

The biggest function of those grasses is to suppress pain.

Therefore, Yaezakura will never give up any hope of saving her sister.

"By the way, Mo Jun..."

"Why, is there anything else?"

"Um... uh, can I go in with you to see how you treat it? I want to learn. If someone in the village gets sick in the future, maybe I can help them."

Yaezakura lowered her head and asked embarrassedly.

She didn't dare to look Li Mo in the eye now. She pursed her lips repeatedly and didn't know what to do with her hands, so she could only hold the witch's clothes tightly.

Asking for help from others will make you humble.

Li Mo casually replied, "They won't get sick."

Because they are already terminally ill.

"Just wait outside for good news. I don't like others standing around and disturbing my treatment. I mean anyone."

After saying that, Li Mo turned and walked into Lin's room, leaving Yaezakura guarding the door.

Anyone is just a cover, the purpose is to prevent Yaezakura from letting the ghost in, especially that Yaezakura Lord.

Outside the door, Yaezakura didn't understand what Li Mo meant by "They won't get sick", but she understood the rest of the sentence, which was not to let anyone in.

If Li Mo gets angry and leaves Lin alone, there will be no hope for him.

Thinking of this, Yaezakura cheered up and stood at the door waiting quietly.

Meanwhile, daybreak arrived.

The steps at the foot of the shrine had not been cleaned, and dirty leaves formed a dark path.

People have two hands and two legs.

Humans walk upright.

The animal walked on all fours, stepped on bamboo leaves, and moved towards the shrine step by step.

----

In the room, as soon as Li Mo entered, he smelled the rich fragrance of cherry blossoms.

It's very rich, like climbing a cherry blossom tree.

But Yae Rin's room was quite a distance away from the cherry tree. Li Mo looked around and found cherry blossom-decorated ornaments hanging on the wall.

"Is the fragrance due to these decorations?"

"Forget it, let's get down to business first."

Li Mo cast his gaze towards Yae Rin who was sleeping soundly. She looked as peaceful as a corpse that had been dead for a long time.

In the original novel, it was around this time that Rin's illness had reached the late stage, and she was chosen by Yae-jin to be a sacrifice.
