Chapter 221 Just some rough weather!
A famous family of practitioners deep in the mountains.

——Xixingji family.

He became famous because of the Buddhist monk poet "Saigyo Hoshi", a man whose secular name was "Sato Yoshikiyo".

Since monsters were born in large numbers out of human fear, professions dedicated to exorcising monsters have gradually emerged among humans. Most of these monster exorcists are monks, shrine maidens or onmyojis.

As a powerful monk, Sato Yoshikiyo, who is revered by the world as the "Song Saint", is able to confront great monsters on his own. It can be said that he stands at the pinnacle of human beings.

Everyone knows that this man, who was keen on chanting poems about flowers, birds, wind and moon and pursued nature all his life, was traveling until his death.

When he realized his own death, the "Song Master of the Journey to the West" entered eternal sleep under the most beautiful cherry tree according to his own wish.

"Master Saigyo" died on February 2, the sixth year of the Wenzhi reign, and was buried in Hongchuan Temple, which was the season when cherry blossoms were in full bloom.

The waka poem "Saigyo Monogatari" circulated in Kyoto records that "Saigyo the Monk" knew that the time of his passing had come, and he chanted: "I wish to die under the cherry blossoms in spring, on the day of the Buddha's death." After that, he sat facing west, chanting sutras, chanting: "Future generations mourning me should offer sacrifices to the cherry blossoms."

When "Master Xixing" passed away, it is said that "the sound of music rang out in the air, strange fragrance filled the air, purple clouds appeared, and the three statues of Amitabha came to welcome him."

All that was left was a house named "Saigyo" after the Moriji Temple in Kyoto where he had lived after becoming a monk, and his only daughter who changed her last name to "Saigyo".

but,
Those are just "lies" to cover up the truth.

Now, this place is "dead".

Killed by a young girl.

People called this girl "Xi Xingjia's Princess of Death" out of awe and fear.

Yuyuko of Saigyouji Temple.

Journey to the West, after a brief period of glory, has gone through a long period of silence and decline and has been forgotten by most people.

"The only daughter of Master Xixing still lives in that compound. The cowards who escaped gave her the nickname "Princess of Death". A girl accompanied by death? Hehe... quite funny." Someone who knows the inside story sneered.

--------

Suddenly, Jia Ji's words hit Yakumo Yukari like thunder.

"What on earth do you mean!"

Yakumo Yukari's body stiffened and an anxious look suddenly appeared on her face. To her, if anything unexpected happened to Youyouko, she would never forgive herself.

Just as Yuyuko has only her as a friend, the Yokai Sage who travels alone in the world also has only Yuyuko who can be called a friend in reality.

"How can an ordinary person easily master the power of death? You were already at the Berserker level at that time. Even if you were seriously injured, how could you be knocked unconscious by ordinary power? Youyouzi is only seventeen this year. She is not like me. She is a human born and raised in this world, but she can rival the top of the big monsters..."

Jacqui pointed to the cherry tree outside that was lush and about to bloom.

"Don't you think this is too strange? Can such a powerful force be mastered without paying any price?"

Youyouzi's face turned extremely pale the moment Jiaji opened his mouth. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't.

Regardless of what Yuyuko was about to say, Jiaji continued to spoil the story: "Yuyuko's power comes from that monster cherry tree, and as she grows older, her death domain will continue to expand, constantly luring the living to end their lives under the tree... If it was a monster, it might not matter, but as a human, how could Yuyuko bear to sit back and watch?"

"She should have already made the decision to sacrifice herself and seal the Westward Journey Demon... Am I right, Youyouzi?"

"I... I don't know." The girl lowered her head, as if she didn't dare to face the aggressive gaze. "You know." Jagi's words were like a knife, directly cutting through the things hidden deep in Youyouzi's heart, forcing the girl to answer.

In fact, there is no need to say more. With Yakumo Yukari's intelligence, she will understand it with just one click.

This girl, who had been bound to the Westward Journey Demon since birth, had seen hundreds of people die in front of her in just seventeen years.

Sometimes, as a bystander, she saw foolish people like moths rushing towards death again and again, but more often, she was resisting, trying to stop whatever the Journey to the West wanted to do, even if it was futile and a waste of effort.

The black death gale and the ghosts filling the entire courtyard served as the backdrop, accompanying the girl's most precious youth.

A poor man connected to a monster that takes his life.

If it weren't for the sudden arrival of Yakumo Yukari, she would probably have collapsed.

"I--" The girl raised her head, tears falling to the ground uncontrollably. She covered her chest with her hands, her face full of pain, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

"Yes…"

Finally, Youyouzi covered her face with her hands and let out a weak sigh.

Next, Jia Ji directly recited a poem: "The daughter of Fujimi, when the Westward Journey Monster was in full bloom, that is, when the living and the dead were separated, for its soul, rest in the White Jade Tower, and seal the Westward Journey Monster flower as a barrier. If possible, I hope that it will not suffer again and forever forget reincarnation..."

"That…"

Yakumo Yukari, whose expression changed drastically for a while, now calmed down. She knew that since Jiaji had brought up the issue, there must be a solution.

As long as she can save Youyouzi, she will do anything.

"Then you, as a youkai sage, will have to shoulder the responsibility of her life."

After speaking a lot, Jagi raised his index finger and pointed at the North Star in the sky.

"Watch what I do."

Then, he grabbed the scruff of Xiao Youxiang's neck, lifted her up, put her on his shoulder, and then walked step by step towards the monster Sakura that had devoured thousands of lives.

"I'll leave it to you from now on. Go ahead! Kazami Yuuka!"

“Death…huh…”

Xiao Youxiang frowned her delicate eyebrows, and her words were full of disgust for this ability, but what made her even more unhappy were the strange words that Jiaji said.

But she had no choice but to resist at this moment.

As the incarnation of nature and the embodiment of life, Yuuka Kazami is naturally incompatible with the power of death. However, when facing the plant-type monster Saigo-yokai, as long as she wants, she can always see something... for example, weaknesses, or methods of defeating it.

As Jiaji approached, the silent Journey to the West monster also showed some abnormal behavior.

Endless Netherworld purple butterflies flew out from all around the courtyard, leaving graceful traces in the air, leaving faint purple traces, just like shooting stars passing by...

The next second, a deep blue wave surged out, engulfing all the purple butterflies.

The aura of death of the Journey to the West monster?
It’s just a little bit of wind and frost!
