Chapter 232

Alas, dyed in blue and sent to the other side, alas, only hoping to bloom wantonly, ink-dyed cherry blossoms.

In the world of life and death, it will never be seen again. The spring night is light-colored, and it disappears in the heart without a sound.

Alas!

No one knows the weeping sound, I don't want others to know this kind of bitterness, the cherry blossoms are chaotic, the eyes are unaware, and it is the same in dreams. How elegant and beautiful, these flowers, the world calls them the most beautiful, dazzling to the eyes.

————————

In the evening, the sky was violet sunset, and in front of them were rotating and scattering residual cherry blossoms.

Spring, summer, autumn, and winter seemed to be a flick of a finger, and the waxing and waning of the moon was just like the cycle of fate, watching life, old age, sickness, and death in a corner of the world, filling the incomplete eternity in loneliness.

Dead souls, ghosts, obsessions, spiritual bodies...

This kind of existence that is opposite to the living and represents the other side of heaven and earth is Yin.

Humans without Dharma eyes and cultivation are difficult to see them.

Those who do not enter reincarnation and do not enter hell wander between this world.

Compared to later generations where it is difficult to manifest and can only scare some people with Yin-Yang eyes, in this era where demons are rampant, they are easier to see than usual, both for extraordinary practitioners and for ordinary people.

Petals of residual cherry blossoms fall like snowflakes, and black-purple butterflies shuttle between the cherry blossoms and the crowd, bringing death back to this land.

In the sky and on the ground, killing intent is everywhere.

The solemn cold moon rises, and the summer wind blows under the cold power of death, making people's bones cold, blood cold, heart palpitations, and marrow withered. It is a good time for demons and ghosts to appear.

The blonde woman sitting on the black gap and the green-haired flower youkai flying into the sky on a huge vine opened their slightly narrowed beautiful eyes at the same time. The death butterflies like floods and beasts could not invade them at all in front of them who were prepared.

The girl in a blue cherry kimono walked out slowly from among the crowd, unhurried, dignified, and elegant, as if she was not facing her own death. There was no fear on her pretty face, but a smile on her lips and expectation in her eyes.

No matter what the result was, she accepted it gladly.

Every step Yuyuko took, a crisp sound of shackles breaking rang in her ears, the figure of one person disappeared in front of her eyes, and her memory became more blurred.

Traces of death spread behind her.

Finally, the girl reached the roots of the Saigyou Ayakashi under the gaze of everyone.

Yuyuko Saigyouji slowly extended her right hand, gently stroking the rough bark of the cherry tree in front of her, feeling the despair, pain, and sadness she was so familiar with, letting the death butterflies flying all over the sky pass through her sleeves.

For a moment, everything was silent.

All attention was focused on her.

And the girl who was the protagonist was not as full of mixed feelings as she imagined, but unexpectedly calm and... free.

I, fearless of death, it is said.

Like the beauty of falling cherry blossoms, death is the grandest performance in a life.

The Youkai Sage in the sky clenched her palms, and her slightly sharp nails pierced into her palms, but she didn't notice it. Her gaze had not left the girl from the beginning.

However, just a moment later, the surrounding scenery became blurred, leaving only one action of the girl—cutting her right wrist with a sharp rib-dagger.

Bright red blood gushed out like a spring, quickly soaking the withered ground, forming a small pool of blood. The amount that could be fatal to an adult man had already flowed out of her delicate body. Her already fair face quickly became pale, and the temperature in this body was constantly losing.

Let her commit suicide voluntarily... this was decided after discussion.

To seal the Saigyou Ayakashi by suicide.

This could enable Yuyuko Saigyouji to take the initiative in the confrontation with the Saigyou Ayakashi. If she waited until the moment the death energy of the Saigyou Ayakashi fully erupted, the girl would become its puppet without any resistance, and her soul would be hooked away.

The ground vibrated, followed by cracking. Centered on the Saigyou Ayakashi that covered the sky and the moon, within a radius of nearly a thousand meters, something seemed to be about to break through the ground.

The girl wrapped in death energy, in this violent vibration, just like those flying cherry blossoms and butterflies, in the last second of her life, smiled at everyone...

At this moment, the living life had left the body of the person in front of her, leaving only a corpse that seemed to be sleeping quietly.

A blurred figure rushed out from Yuyuko's back. Looking at her appearance and clothing, she was exactly the same as the person on the ground.

However, the illusory shadow that seemed to dissipate with a blow had its eyes closed, expressionless, and there were black root-like strips tied to its limbs and torso.

The thick death energy that turned into substance locked the soul, constantly pulling it toward the trunk.

At the critical moment, the Youkai Sage was about to activate her boundary power of life and death.

"Life is not something to be discarded!"

A guy who was thrown out of the Land of the Back Door shouted directly and appeared from behind everyone. Between steps, the violent vibration like a dragon turning over was stopped instantly.

The figure was like a pale blue lightning. Wherever it passed, air waves rolled, and even a vacuum channel was hit within a close distance.

The next second, a ray of light arrived in an instant, accurately hitting the branches of the Saigyou Ayakashi.

This was a fighting spirit that was gorgeous to the extreme, even overwhelming the bright moon above the sky.

Secret Point, Shin-en!

In the eyes of the Hokuto successor, the Qi needed to maintain everything, the unit that constitutes the existence of everything, is Qi!

And the function of 【Shin-en】 is to release all the Qi of the hit opponent, and the body that loses the source of power will fall into weakness.

For a martial artist who fights by relying on fighting spirit, this is equivalent to "hypoxia", like a leaking container, and vitality will be lost uncontrollably.

And for the Saigyou Ayakashi, this finger of his did not hurt the ground branch at all, but it was equivalent to directly chiseling a big hole in its root. No matter how to fill it, it was of no avail. Vitality, death energy, and power were all flowing away continuously.

Relying only on Yuyuko, who now only had instinct left, she still couldn't resist the control of the main body of the Yellow Springs Saigyou Ayakashi. It was necessary to continue to weaken the death energy accumulated since ancient times.

With a speed that the eyes couldn't reach, Jia Ji pointed at her soul several times. Now that he had mastered the pressure points of all things, even on the soul body, he could use...

"Kenmei", "Goumei", "Shunmei", "Shinmei", "Yemei", "Sosei", "Sosei Shichisei-kou" and... "Keisei"

Keisei!

This was a special secret point that Jagi had used to seal Leopard's memory and then wanted to awaken his memory, but before it was performed, everything was over.

From the new moon to the full moon, and then to the new moon, the bright star 【Suisei】 that stays in the moon's orbit for about a month is called Keisei or Twenty-Eight Inns.

The soul body without mass and temperature suddenly began to heat up slightly, and some profound, unforgettable things were pouring in in large quantities.

Two seconds later, Yuyuko opened her eyes suddenly.

The girl's black hair turned into pink like cherry blossoms in an instant, but perhaps Jia Ji's skill was still not enough, and there was still some confusion and blankness in her eyes.

"Quick, quick, quick, give her a shot of 'oblivionis'!"

In order to meet the requirement of awakening Yuyuko's memory that day, Eirin Yagokoro used the invincible "I think" power to create a strange medicine—

Butterfly Dream Pill.

"This medicine... was originally a sleeping pill used to soothe the spirit, make people sleep well, and have a good dream." The silver-haired pharmacist certainly wouldn't just make such a simple thing, "After my improvement, it can make people dream of past things."

"It works even on ghosts."

The black Butterfly Dream Pill would make people dream of bad memories, while the red Butterfly Dream Pill would bring back good past events.

But Jia Ji decided on the spot to rename this thing the magical little pill of ob-a-string-of-letters.

"Why is it called such a strange name?"

At that time, only the diligent Youkai Sage raised doubts and asked about the knowledge level in the group, or rather, the highest English level and most learned Yuki.

Then got this answer—

"Oblivionis is taken from Lacus Oblivionis (Lake of Oblivion), meaning forgetting. The Lake of Oblivion is located on the far side of the moon."

Reasonable, fits the theme, very convincing.

But Jia Ji's answer to her was completely different.

"Soon there won't be a single human in the Saigyouji family, so this name is just right!"

"What is all this, did you cross the station again!"

After mixing with Jia Ji for so long, not to mention anything else, Yukari Yakumo's ability to complain had also greatly improved.

"Hmm..."

The spirit returned to Yuyuko's eyes.

"Are you awake? Congratulations, you've become a girl."

"Hmm?... But I was a girl in the first place?"

She seemed a bit unintelligent, but from the light smile on the girl's face, it could be known that the sad doll who was once trapped by the Saigyou Ayakashi had regained her life.

"The counterattack is about to begin."

Yuuka Kazami suddenly spoke at this time, and what she said surprised everyone watching.

The moment Yuyuko opened her eyes, it was close to victory, but the more it was this juncture, the more careful one had to be.

The dying counterattack of a beast is still dangerous, and how could a great youkai easily admit defeat?

The Saigyou Ayakashi, which had been calculated to death by everyone from beginning to end, had no other way to go except to die together.

Unreasonable and unwise madness is the most terrifying.

The demon tree in desperation instantly erupted with powerful death energy.

Die! Die! Die!

The power of death was exerted to the extreme. A beam of light containing the concept of death was emitted from the demon tree, accompanied by terrifying pressure, rushing toward everyone facing it.

"In such a hurry to send it? Saigyou Ayakashi, eat my killkissjudy (Fatal Kiss)!"

His palms set up a very strange posture, like the hook hand of Wolf Fist, and also had the concentration of Nanto Snake Piercing.

Its name is Hokuto Snake Thunder Bite!

Once bitten, it will never relax until the prey dies.

The death beam was entangled in the middle by the wriggling muscles. Under the peerless power, it dissipated into light rain, and the other hand claw, shaped like a wolf head, broke through the bark and sank deep into the trunk.

Between the contact of the two, blue annihilated black, and destruction defeated death.

"Hiss, can we reconcile?"

A will from the main body of the Saigyou Ayakashi was passed to Jia Ji. It seems that it is not an existence without reason, but now saying this...

Sneer.

Jia Ji bared his teeth and smiled coldly.

"At this moment, you are probably not joking, right?"

The palms inserted into the trunk exerted force again.

The awakened Yuyuko Saigyouji floated behind Jia Ji. An inexplicable connection existed between her and the Saigyou Ayakashi in the Netherworld. Following this connection, the artistic conception of extinction existing on both hands reached the Netherworld directly.

The big tree standing in the center of the Netherworld shook suddenly.

In an instant, the light of the Big Dipper filled the world.

Hell ushered in the day.

Falling cherry blossoms bring messages:

In the center of the Netherworld, the Bai Yu Palace, which occupies 1,200 yojanas, was divided by Yama to the 【Master of Saigyou Ayakashi】 newly born in the world.

Because that unusually large, hard-to-kill Saigyou Cherry is in the center of Hakugyokurou, although it was hit hard and it will be difficult to bloom for a thousand years, it is still an unstable factor. Handing this territory to Yuyuko Saigyouji, who restrains it, is very suitable.

It is rumored that during the Tang Dynasty, when Changji was about to die, he suddenly saw a man in scarlet clothes during the day, driving a red dragon, holding a board, writing like ancient seal script or thunderbolt stone script, saying that he was summoning Changji. Changji couldn't read it, suddenly got off the couch and kowtowed, saying: "Ami is old and sick, He does not want to go." The man in scarlet clothes smiled and said: "The Emperor has built the Bai Yu Palace, and immediately summons you to be a recorder. It is very happy in heaven, not bitter."

That Changji refers to the poet ghost Li He, and the Bai Yu Palace has existed as the residence of the dead ever since.

Yuyuko Saigyouji, who has become a ghost, although she is not afraid of the sun because of her special nature, she cannot stay in the world for long. After the Saigyou Ayakashi on the ground was destroyed from the roots, the Saigyou mansion was almost destroyed. You can't let Yuyuko, who controls death, turn into a lonely ghost wandering in the world, right?

And for Yukari Yakumo, this is also a good thing.

Even in the Netherworld, she only needs to open a gap to see Yuyuko anytime, anywhere, and Yuyuko can also reduce the chance of contacting those vulgar and stupid humans, and can maintain her kindness and innocence for a long time.

Specifically referring to a certain guy who can easily lead people astray.

The girl in a blue lotus-trimmed kimono with a black belt around her waist, her cherry-pink short hair hanging down to her shoulders, her face as soft as the moon, but her eyes revealed an unprecedented ease and freedom.

On the delicate and tender white skin of her face, under the small bridge of her nose, her pearl-pink lips were thin. In order to better conform to her identity as a ghost, she learned from the Youkai Sage to wear a blue soft hat, with white cloth hanging behind her head, and a heavenly crown tied in front, with a red soul-shaped pattern on it.

Her appearance was not much different from when she was a human, only her skin and hair color became a bit pale, but this added a unique charm belonging to the dead.

Thus, it can be stated.

Yuyuko Saigyouji has turned into a ghost.

The girl who had no power to truss a chicken became a first-class powerhouse who controlled a hundred times the power of an ordinary great youkai.

"Celebrate, the poor-chested and hungry ghost princess is born!"

"Thank you very much for everything you have done for Yuyuko-sama."

Besides Yuyuko Saigyouji, as the current master of Hakugyokurou, having to go to the Netherworld, the loyal garden master Youki Konpaku was still worried about her young lady and prepared to go to the Netherworld to live together.

Fortunately, she was a half-human, half-spirit race, so there would be no problem even in the Netherworld.

"Sigh, it's just a small contribution..."

"Netherworld, what is the Netherworld like?" With three parts of anxiety and seven parts of curiosity, the ghost of Huaxu bid farewell to everyone and stepped on her journey under the guidance of the death god.
