The petals of the cherry blossoms fluttering in the wind show a pale face. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Fluttering, fluttering, reflecting the surroundings into a faint se.
The cherry blossoms at Morishoji Temple have never been in full bloom......
As if to welcome the sage, the branches of the westbound cherry blossoms stretched out with all their might.
As if to dye the world in ink, the cherry blossoms float away, covering the earth and filling the sky.
The only thing that catches the eye is cherry blossoms......
The only thing that catches the eye is the ink se......
Under this extremely beautiful cherry blossom, the westward mage smiled with satisfaction.
"I would like to die under the flower of chunri, at the full moon of February."
Night se, gradually approaching......
The clouds on the horizon dimmed from crimson to darkness.
The black glow that sparkles like a diamond envelops the tranquil earth.
Before I knew it, the father and daughter had been sitting quietly under the cherry blossom tree for half a day........
The starry river in the night sky shimmers with infinite brilliance, as if it wants to suck the cherry blossoms into it, silent and secluded.
"So, the time has come."
At night, the cherry blossoms are still drifting, covering the land and everything as far as the eye can see.
"May those who sacrifice me after I die be able to offer cherry blossoms."
The sound is incomparably subtle.
As if he didn't want to spoil the absolute beauty, the Westbound Mage's tone was slow and soft.
"Reincarnation, reincarnation...... Not reported. ”
Take a cherry blossom. Looking at the figure reflected in the light cherry blossoms. Yuyuko of Xixing Temple shook his head slightly.
Night. It's quiet......
In this silent night, the singer fell into eternal sleep......
As if he had seen the most beautiful scenery before he died, the corners of the Westbound Mage's mouth kept a satisfied smile.
……
Standing quietly under the westbound cherry blossoms with a parasol, Yakumo Purple stared at the beautiful cherry tree in front of her with a look of great nostalgia.
"Happiness for a lifetime and never give up, the law of fate is the cycle."
When was the last time you saw the cherry blossoms?
The memories in my mind are already a little blurry.
"Beautiful, isn't it?"
Elegant voice. It sounded from behind Yakumo Murasaki.
Turning around, a woman with short hair came into view.
It seems to be a jing spirit born in the cherry blossoms, and although she doesn't dance, it makes people think that she has become one with Jingse.
Stretching out her slender fingers and gently catching the colorful butterflies flying in the cherry blossoms, Yuyuko of Seigyoji Temple gazed at the small creature in front of her with a calm gaze.
The slightly stirring butterfly wings are as beautiful and charming as falling cherry blossoms.
"It's beautiful, but it's such a beautiful scene, but no one appreciates it, it's a pity."
Ri light shining through the petals of a flower. Sprinkled on the parasol, as if to protect the long hair of the golden se. There was not a trace of light shining through the parasol onto Yakumo's purple hair.
"The scenery is born from the heart, if the human heart has been polluted, then even if a hundred flowers bloom and everything is renewed, it is only a passing cloud."
Gently letting go of the colorful butterfly in her hand, Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple watched the colorful butterfly flying into the sky with a deep gaze.
"You...... Different. ”
Seeing the colorful butterfly fly out of sight, Yuyuko of Xixing Temple slowly looked at Yakumo Purple.
"All living beings, the bustle is famous, often for profit, and the bustle is often between, and there are few people who can quietly appreciate such beautiful scenery."
It seems that such remarks can't help but make Yakumo Zi a little curious.
People don't reveal their hearts completely in front of people they meet for the first time......
The distance between people is approached by the constant contact between hearts.
Like the woman in front of her, she completely exposed her heart when she first saw it, and although it is not to say that it does not exist, it is by no means easy to meet.
"It's just that even though people are ugly alive......"
Like ink-dyed cherry blossoms flying in the sky, the corners of Yuyuko's mouth in Saiyuki Temple raised slightly.
A serene, reassuring smile is like seeing the most beautiful flower in the world bloom......
"I think it's beautiful, too."
“……”
At that moment, Yakumo Murasaki discovered the difference and similarity between the person in front of her and herself......
In the eyes of the woman in front of her, everything is beautiful, without the slightest defect, and it is natural.
Take everything in the world for granted and take it for granted......
Cruel or sad......
Those who are beautiful in the eyes of the woman in front of them......
For a while, Yakumo Zi actually had an illusion......
It's like...... Only the woman in front of her is right in the world, and everything else is just a vain.
"Monster."
When Yakumo Zi was slightly stunned, Yuyuko of Xixing Temple had already turned around and returned to the inner hall of the temple.
"Prepare for tea, there are guests today."
A faint voice sounded in the inner hall.
“……”
Recovered from his stunned state, there was a hint of astonishment in Yakumo's eyes.
Yakumo Purple is a youkai sage who has found the path he should adhere to and persevered for it.
It was the only time that someone's faith was shaken by a few words.
"Distinguished guests come from afar, there must be something to discuss, if you don't think the temple is simple, just come in and talk about it."
The faint voice seemed to be uninterested in anything, and it seemed to have seen through everything.
The voice was ethereal and serene...... It's impossible to guess.
Closing the parasol, Yakumo Purple stepped into the inner hall of the Moriji Temple.
The tea was already on the table, and the one kneeling at the table was the woman with short hair from the light cherry blossom before.
Behind the woman, there was a pale-haired old man, standing quietly.
The two long swords placed on Lao Suo's waist seemed to have an extraordinary momentum, although they were not unsheathed. It's heart-wrenching.
"Please."
gestured. Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple looked at Yakumo Murasaki.
Kneel on top of the futon. Yakumo gently tasted the freshly brewed tea.
Cruising outside Gensokyo, Yakumo Murasaki is looking for the manager of Gensokyo's underworld.
Gensokyo is newly built, all kinds of affairs have not been completed, Lin Yu doesn't know where he went, the succubus Tianxing is idle, and Shenqi needs to go back to the demon world to deal with affairs, so all the burdens. It pressed on Yakumo Zi's body.
However, feeling the breath of death, after coming here, Yakumo did not see the person who thought he was suitable for such a profession.
"Good tea."
Clear but not light, bitter but not astringent, and what is more wonderful is that the tea seems to contain the mood of an old man who has seen through the world.
"Just close your mouth."
I didn't ask Yakumo what she came here for, and Yuyuko of Xixing Temple was also drinking tea.
After a while, the tea has bottomed out.
Putting down the teacup, Yakumo's expression soothed a little.
I've been building up a lot of pressure lately. And those pressures were completely wiped away under this cup of tea.
"Monster."
I saw that Yakumo's teacup had bottomed out. Yuyuko of Xixing Temple gently called the servant behind her.
"No need."
Stopping the soul monster who wanted to pour tea, Yakumo Zi quietly looked at Yuyuko of Xixing Temple.
Facing Yakumo's gaze, which seemed to be able to penetrate everything, Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple only raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
Seeing nothing through Yuyuko's expression in Saigyoji Temple, Yakumo Zi gently opened the folding fan.
"When I came here today, I had a question, but after coming here, I thought that my previous decision was a bit hasty."
It wasn't clear what it was, and Yakumo's folding fan swayed gently.
"Today, I'm here to enjoy the cherry blossoms."
It seems to be an existence like Yuyuko in Saigyoji, and Yakumo needs to know more before she can decide if it is feasible to bring it to Gensokyo.
"In this case, let me do my landlord's friendship."
Without asking in detail, Yuyuko of Xixing Temple waved his hand.
After a while, the soul demon jealousy poured tea for the two of them again.
Just quietly sipping the fragrant tea, neither Yakumo Zi nor Yuyuko of Xixing Temple opened their mouths to break the tranquility.
……
"The world...... It's beautiful. ”
I don't know when, after the end of the small tea party, Yakumo Purple and Yuyuko of the Saigyu Temple returned to this westward cherry blossom again.
Accompanied by the fluttering petals in the sky, Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple closed her eyes peacefully, feeling the beauty of this world.
"It's just that there is a trace of unhappiness in this world."
Hearing this, Yakumo Zi couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
I thought that Yuyuko of Xixing Temple was the only person in this world, but I never thought that she also had something that she thought was not beautiful.
"No matter what it is, it will eventually meet death, reincarnation, reincarnation, giving without return, praying, praying, wishes cannot be fulfilled."
Saying something that subverted her previous impression, Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple raised her head slightly and looked at the treetops.
"Even if they are attacked, kicked, even if they are in tears, even if they are plundered and dominated, people still live in this world......"
The law of this world is that the law of the jungle is the law of the jungle.
The weak are devoured by the strong, this is the law of the world.
But it is precisely because this law seems reasonable that Yakumo Zi wants to break such a law.
Thereupon...... Gensokyo was born.
"That's because people still have hope......"
However, a place that Yakumo had never thought of appeared.
"It is because people have hope that the world is beautiful...... And the only way to erase hope is to die. ”
The beauty that is built on the belief of Yuyuko Seiyuji is built on the basis of hope.
And Yakumo Zi's forehead was slightly oozing a little cold sweat.
Gensokyo has been established, and countless yokai have inhabited it.
However, Yakumo Murasaki, who does everything herself, is she really doing the right thing?
Everything you need is ready to make the life that inhabits Gensokyo feel truly comfortable......
But is that really good?
In the past, Yakumo Zi said to Lin Yu that if there must be someone to carry it, then Yakumo Zi will come......
But...... Yakumo Purple's dedication, is it really good for Gensokyo?
In Gensokyo, what is needed is not a perfect living environment. It's cut off from the outside world. New Hope!
Gensokyo is supposed to be out of this world. A place of hope that contains infinite hope and radiates endless brilliance!
There...... It is a place where only self-improvement people can live......
There, there is no need for people who do not work hard......
Those who enter Gensokyo with a vision will not be able to truly appreciate the charm of Gensokyo!
“…… Thank you. ”
Yakumo Murasaki, who was awakened by a word, had forgotten how many years she hadn't said such a thing.
"Looks like you understand something."
With a faint word, Yuyuko of Xixing Temple didn't care about it.
In her eyes, there are only falling cherry blossoms.
"I hate death that can erase hope."
There was not a trace of fluctuation in his eyes, nor did his tone change in the slightest.
It's as if he's talking about something that doesn't concern him. In the palm of Yuyuko's palm, there are already a few more cherry blossoms.
"Just like the people buried under the cherry blossoms in the west, no matter how beautiful this cherry tree is, it cannot hide the fact that it has buried countless hopes."
Under the cherry blossoms in the west, countless corpses are buried.
This was already discovered when Yakumo Purple came to this westbound cherry blossom.
And in the midst of that......
“…… Really? ”
What is buried in the midst of it......
"Even my father, who taught me this, gave up hope yesterday and was buried under that cherry blossom tree."
The tone is still flat, making it impossible to understand the mood of the person who said it.
"And that's what I have, the power to lead people to death."
These words were uttered to the people they met for the first time......
This should never have happened anyway. Excess trust.
In this regard, Yakumo Zi did not feel too much emotion.
"The world is beautiful. Because there is so much hope in this world. ”
Exuding emotion again, Yuyuko of Xixing Temple looked at everything around her softly.
"The world is cruel again, because there is death in this world."
Throughout the ages, countless people have pursued the power of immortality.
It's just that more people can only accept death weakly.
Hope can overcome everything, but the only thing that cannot be defeated is death......
"And I, who brought death, is the only ** in this world."
The plain tone is really shocking.
“……”
Yakumo didn't answer.
Life and death, even though Yakumo Zi has practiced for thousands of years, she has not been able to see it thoroughly by the woman in front of her.
The cherry blossoms fall to the ground and scatter into ink.
In the fluttering cherry blossoms, all that remains is an equal number of deaths.
"I'm sorry for disturbing the mood of cherry blossom viewing by saying something indifferent."
As if coming back to her senses, Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple showed an apologetic smile and looked at Yakumo Murasaki.
“…… Anyway. ”
Shaking his head, although Yakumo Purple was under the westbound cherry blossoms, he was already outside the gods.
Thinking about what Yuyouzi said in Xixing Temple, I unconsciously saw that the state of mind cultivation that had not progressed for a long time had actually been improved to another level.
"So, let's continue with cherry blossom viewing."
Accompanied by the cherry blossoms that are completely ink-dyed, Yakumo Purple and Seigyoji Yuyuko are admired until the evening.
"Good tea."
Tasting the fragrant tea, Mori Jinrinnosuke sighed.
"Did you find out now?"
Seeming to be a little tired of talking, Yakumo Zi stopped.
"The tea ceremony can cultivate the mind, and this level of tea art is the result of more than ten years of study with the old man of the Western Expert."
Like a kitten waiting for the owner's praise, Yakumo Purple has a 'come and praise me' expression.
“…… It takes hundreds of years of cultivation for others to reach such a state, but it's good for you to learn it in more than ten years......"
With a sigh, Mori said with a sigh.
"That's nature, I'm a genius."
How long has it been since I was coquettish like this......
How much is it on your shoulders?
It's like mud under your feet, and it gets harder and harder to walk......
Walking alone, looking forward, there is no one around, looking backwards, there is no one coming.
has persisted for thousands of years, and there is no need to continue to accumulate all feelings......
Once everything is said, it is the final parting......
At that time, Lin Yu will return to the main god space, and Yakumo Purple will be the last person in Gensokyo, fighting against the evil spirit dream to the end, until witnessing the destruction of Gensokyo......
"Stupid ......"
With a soft call, Mori Rinnosuke smiled slightly.
"Go on, I want to hear it."
"Hmmm......"
"Beauty...... Beautiful......"
I don't know when, Sheng Ji Temple has been full of people.
"I'm cute and charming, but I'm going to die."
I don't know when, and I don't know who hung such a sign on this westbound cherry blossom.
However, it seems that no one believes it, and many people continue to come to worship the most beautiful cherry blossom trees in Kyoto.
And everyone who has visited the shrine will not have anything unusual for a period of time after leaving the westbound cherry blossoms.
But once the time passes, it will be distraught, and suddenly come to the westward cherry blossom again, and commit suicide here......
……
How long has it been since Yakumo Murasaki left?
Three years? Five years?
He was the only one who left Saiyuki Sakura and never returned.
Travelers in the past, attracted by the westbound cherry blossoms, whether they leave or not, will eventually die under the westbound cherry blossoms.
The father of Yuyuko of Saiyuji Temple is the only one who is different.
After countless trips, he left the past behind, had no worries in his heart, and died under the cherry blossoms on the westward journey.
He was also the only one who could die on his own terms......
However, Yakumo Murasaki broke that one ......
She is not a half-dead person like a soul demon and has no power to die, she has not returned......
"Really...... What a perfect combination......"
Yuyuko of the Seighur Temple, who seduces death, and the Saigyu Sakura that continues to eat away at life......
I don't know why, Yuyuko of Xixing Temple suddenly wants to see Yakumo Purple again.
Under this blooming westbound cherry blossom, I saw the person who had escaped the realm of life and death again......
No...... Maybe not people......
It's just that, even if it's a monster, Yuyuko of Xixing Temple wants to see her again.
It's just that it's too late......
The westbound cherry blossoms are about to fully bloom, and when the light of the purple moon envelops the earth, it is the moment when the westbound cherry blossoms are completely demonized.
Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple didn't know how many people would die from this blood-soaked demon tree at that time, and she didn't need to know.
All she needed was ......
With the power of his own death, seal the Saigyu Sakura!
And all that needs to be done...... It is to sacrifice one's own life to the westward cherry blossom before it blooms......
In this beautiful and glorious world, the only ** will be dedicated to the only usefulness......
The hope exchanged for this life will last forever! (To be continued.) )
