[Comprehensive] Where was your birthday this year?

The next day, Yuyi sneaked down the mountain. Considering that most people don’t have such things as Kagura bells, it would be fruitless for her to ask directly, so she found a child in the village who was about her age, and used illusion to make herself Pretend to be the other party, and then run to ring the house of the old man in the village who is preparing for the sacrifice, and ask the old man about Kagura Bell and Kagura Dance.

The final result was quite satisfactory. Although the old man didn't know how to describe Kagura Dance, he described the appearance of Kagura Bell to Yuyi.

The Kagura bell is six feet long, and there are fifteen bells in total. There are three, five, and seven bells on the upper, middle, and lower floors respectively. There are five-color belts nearly three feet long attached to the handle, namely green, yellow, red, white, and blue. The ribbons of different colors represent the five elements.

After listening to Yuyi, she fell into distress. She felt that if she danced with such a big thing, first of all, it would be inconvenient for her to swing it, and secondly, the range of motion should not be too large, and she didn't know the movements of Kagura Dance... She wanted to fulfill the mission of the witch Her duties were a real test for her.

Back at the shrine, Yuyi first drew the blueprint of the Kagura bell. There is no rush to make it. She has all the materials, and there are many bells that are the only ones that cannot be made in the shrine. She can take them directly.

What makes Yuyi difficult is that she has not danced for a long time. Although she has not forgotten the knowledge of dancing, she has grown up a lot compared to Dorias and has experienced many things. It is doubtful whether he can dance as he pleases in the splendid courts of Doriath.

What's more, the dance dedicated to the gods should be more dignified, right?Yuyi has never tried this type of dance. In Dorias, the themes of her dancing are usually beautiful, cheerful and agile. The carefree elves dance only when they are happy, and their natural dancing postures are not so dignified. , she really doesn't know anything about this type of dance.

However, Kagura dance doesn’t have any fixed dance steps in this remote village. Yuyi thinks that since she can’t learn it, it’s better to ask more people from the village and outside. As long as anyone can learn, she can use it to do it. Refer to choreography.

Now there is still about a month before the new year, Yuyi thinks it is enough, and she did not tell Yimulian about it, except to absorb some of his divine power regularly every day to counteract the erosion of Yin power on her body, the rest It is to run into the village, use illusion to pretend to be the children of the village, and then go door-to-door to make stereotypes.

The villagers didn't realize that there was a child in the village who was asking about Kagura Dance. After all, Yuyi's illusion was not something ordinary people could see through. He was very busy preparing for the New Year’s sacrifice, so that when Yuyi figured out the general flow and steps of Kagura Dance, and satisfactorily began to study how to choreograph, the villagers still wondered why many children in the village suddenly had a sense of Kagura Dance for the sacrifice. Interested.

Yimulian didn't know what Yuyi was doing, and he didn't pay attention to her all the time. Seeing that Yuyi often ran to the village, pretending to be someone else's child to chat with the people who were preparing to sacrifice, he couldn't help but It's fun to be happy, and it's a good thing that this overly introverted kid is willing to meet people.

A month passed quickly. On New Year's Day, the villagers brought countless sacrifices to the shrine. The sacrifices began in the morning and continued until noon. Then people went home to prepare their own New Year's food. At night Then a celebration will be held in the village, which will last until midnight, and they will come to the shrine of Yimulian again in the early morning of the next day for the first visit.

Yuyi was very envious of this complicated and substantial process. Her memory of the Chinese New Year is very vague. The hundreds of years spent in Dorias are always bad. She doesn’t remember much before the age of five. After the age of five, she only spent one year at home when she was six years old, but at that time she had not fully adapted to the life of the Ninja sect, and she only watched the New Year celebration from a distance, and did not dare to enter the crowd.

Therefore, Yuyi is still very excited about participating in a large-scale New Year's event. She has asked before that the Kagura dance will start in the middle of the sacrifice. When the dance is close to noon, when the dance is over, people offer tribute to the gods to pray for luck in the coming year, and the sacrifice is considered to be over.

Yuyi has choreographed the dance and made the Kagura bell. On the day of the sacrifice, when the villagers brought the tribute to the shrine, they saw her standing in front of the vermilion torii gate, wearing a priestess costume representing the sacredness and innocence. The villagers who rushed forward before the torii saluted.

People's emotions seemed to be mobilized at once. Although it was inconvenient to carry things, the person in charge of the team took the lead to kneel down and salute Yuyi, offering the most devout heart to the holy girl who served the wind god.

Yuyi did not stop people from kneeling because she knew that it was Ichimulian and not her that they were kneeling. After they finished their salutes, she let them enter the shrine and clean their hands to pay respects. After that, slowly lead people to the shrine.

Fifteen bells made crisp and pleasant sounds along with the advancing footsteps, echoing in the quiet and solemn shrine.

When the team came outside the worship hall, the people stopped and stood on both sides, leaving a large space in the middle for the witches to dance and pray to the gods.

This year's Yimulian is still waiting for people's sacrifices in the shrine. He will definitely stay in the shrine for only one day in a year, because he needs to listen to people's prayers and give blessings.

Only this year, besides bestowing blessings, Yimulian also received a gift in return from humans and the creatures he sheltered.

The Kagura dance danced by Yuyi is solemn and elegant, with a very unique and dynamic charm of different and ordinary dances.

Yes, Yuyi's dance is unusual, the huge kagura bell seems to be weightless in her hands, and the five-color ribbon is flying in the wind with her light dance steps, like a colorful breeze surrounding her.

It was as if the wind was dancing with her.

After this idea came up, it was only then that Yimulian suddenly realized what the agility he felt from Yuyi's dancing posture was the wind, the soft, agile, unrestrained wind!

After understanding this point, even the gods couldn't help sighing, lamenting that the child in front of him is so gifted, as if there is nothing in this world that she can't learn, and there is nothing she can't do.

The sacrifice ended at noon, and Yuyi left after presiding over the prayers of the people, and the people went down the mountain quickly to go home, but all the way, regardless of men, women, or children, were excitedly discussing the Kagura dance they had just seen. A beautiful and divine dance of the country they had never seen before.

And like people, after watching the whole process, Yimulian felt emotional for Yuyi who had taken off her priestess attire.

"It's an unimaginably beautiful dance!"

Yuyi, who was new to the road, was completely satisfied with this compliment, and she even happily joked with Yimulian: "So did I please the gods?"

Yimulian smiled, although Yuyi's Kagura dance did not mean that she had a devout belief in him, but he did not deny that he was indeed happy, if it was said to please the gods, then he was indeed pleased.

Yimulian, who was in a good mood, simply followed Yuyi's words and asked her: "Do you want to pray to me?"

This sentence made Yuyi feel mixed.

want to?I really thought about it, if the gods are really omnipotent, then wouldn't her little congenital deficiency only need a prayer to solve it?If that is the case, why should she dedicate her life to her faith?

It's a pity that the gods can't do everything, and what's desperate is that she knows this well, knowing that there is no cure for herself, and no one can cure her, so she can only do her best to live longer .

Long enough for her body to become strong enough to carry her terrifying talents.

"...No, even you can't realize my wish." Yuyi shook her head, her expression was calm. It would be too shameful to be depressed during the New Year, and this is something she knew a long time ago, so she And certainly not disappointed.

"You can keep me and let me absorb your strength, which is the greatest gift to me."

Yimulian heard the words and sighed in his heart. Although he didn't know Yuyi's thoughts, he was very aware of her physical problems, and that was indeed not something he could solve.

With emotion in his heart, Yimulian stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Yuyi's head to comfort the girl's emotions, but he didn't expect that when he just touched Yuyi's hair, he heard her gasp, her small body under his hands There was a jerk.

"What's wrong?!" Yimulian was taken aback, wanting to check on Yuyi's situation but didn't know where to start.

On the other side, Yuyi seemed to have suffered some great pain, tears burst from the corners of her eyes, she shrank her body and raised her hands, it seemed that she wanted to hug her head, but she didn't dare to touch it because of scruples.

Yimulian waited until Yuyi came over, seeing the girl's confusion mixed with panic, he pressed the girl's shoulders, trying to calm her down.

"Don't worry, let me take a look." Yimulian said softly, Yuyi gradually calmed down with his gentle voice.

The sudden pain on the top of her head just now made Yu Yi feel terrified. She knew that she hadn't been injured before, so she panicked. The pain was so strange, as if she had been pierced with a huge thorn on the top of her head. The severe pain pierced through her head like a sharp sword, and she couldn't control her panic.

Fortunately, the pain came and went quickly, and with Yimulian's comfort, Yuyi quickly calmed down, and lowered her head to let Yimulian look at the situation above her head.

Pulling away Yuyi's hair, one can see at a glance that there is a bulging bump in the middle of the dark and soft hair, and the top is red, like a big bump after being injured, but there is still a little bit in the middle of the bump. It was whitish, and the outline of something could be vaguely seen, as if something was about to come out of it.

After thinking about it, he turned his hands away and pushed away Yuyi's hair on the other side. After seeing the same swelling in another symmetrical position, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

"Don't worry, Yuyi, you just want to grow horns."

It is very common for monsters and gods to have horns on their bodies. It is normal for a half-demon and half-god to have horns.

It's just that this normality is not so normal in Yuyi's cognition.

"Corner?!" Yuyi repeated Yimulian's words with a confused face, and didn't realize what she wanted to grow for a while.
