"Alie? My past?" Youyouzi was stunned for a moment, "Why did Zi want to listen to my past?"

"It's nothing... I just suddenly became interested." I felt a little embarrassed by Youyouzi's clear eyes staring at me, "Will this bother you? If so, forget it."

"No, it's not bothering me. On the contrary, I can't even be happy if someone listens to me." Youyouzi shook her head and smiled: "If you want to hear my story, then you have to start with my birth. In fact, my father is the very famous travel master of the West."

Master Xixing... I have also heard of this person. He seems to be a very famous monk. He is even known as the "Sage of Songs" when he is alive.

At that time, there were many people who believed in him. Although he was a human, he had extremely powerful faith. Now, I am afraid that he had become a Buddha through the path of faith and enthronement after his death.

"My father sat under a cherry tree in Xixingshi family. When he died, he once said, 'The descendants mourned me and worshiped Buddha's cherry blossoms', but this sentence became a nightmare for Xixingshi family..." Youyouzi said: "My father's body was buried under that cherry tree. After his death, everyone's admiration did not stop. There were endless people going to worship under the cherry trees all year round."

"The cherry tree that absorbs faith is also secretly absorbing the blood of the worshippers. After a period of time, it gradually becomes a monster tree that attracts people to die, so it is called the Westward Monster."

"The exorcists of the Nishikiji family were very worried about how to deal with the cherry tree. If they were destroyed with brute force, they would not work at all, so they could only use the method of sealing it."

"But, because the power of the Westward Demon is too powerful, they can't even seal it. So... I have it."

"Wait! What do you mean when you have it?" I quickly interrupted Youyouzi.

"When I was still a baby, I became a sacrifice to the cherry blossom tree. The elders in Xixing Temple used forbidden techniques to connect their bodies with Xixing Monastery, and gained its power. From then on, I will never be afraid of death again." Youyouzi said lightly: "But while gaining power, I also summoned those powerful undead spirits, which made those close to me unable to escape..."

"When I was young, I once had too much emotional fluctuation, causing my power to go wild and killed all the people around me... Since that incident, I have lived in seclusion in this house in the deep mountains, waiting for the day when I use my life to seal the westward demon."

Is that true? No wonder she would say that there is no one here except her, and no one would come. If she is an ordinary person, she might not be able to connect with her, and she would be instantly drained from her life and die.

Youyouzi is very happy that I am not afraid of her power, because all the people close to her are dead, and even the same humans as me are always afraid to avoid being disgusted with themselves.

I don’t eat or sleep, I read during the day and dance with the dead at night, I have always been alone, repeating this kind of life, not knowing that the warm life in the world has been living alone before I met me...

What is it... that supports her to live happily?

Although I have been carrying such a heavy mission since I was born, I am so painful in my heart, but I still smile strongly...

"Ah, it's dawn! Zi, look at it, it's sunrise!" Youyouzi suddenly pulled my arm excitedly.

I looked along her fingers. The rising sun was rising, and the whole sky was dyed with dazzling gold, bringing incredible vitality and vitality.

"Yes, it's very beautiful, right?"

"This is really a beautiful view... By the way, I have come to this place frequently before, so why have I never seen such a beautiful view?" I sighed.

"That's because Zi's heart has not calmed down." Youyouzi smiled, "In the past, my father wrote, there are descriptions of the horizons in the far west, where there are thousands of blooming cherry trees. Surrounded by cherry trees, the place where the souls of the dead rest in peace... is called the flower capital of the sky."

"That kind of situation must be tens of millions of times more beautiful than this."

Youyouzi clapped her hands, and no longer looked at the sun in the east. Instead, she folded her hands together, recited the scriptures of salvation in her mouth, and prayed to the western sky.

“…”

I stared at Youyouzi's side face blankly and finally confirmed something.

The human "Xixing Temple Youyouzi" is different from any human I have encountered before.

"…Youyouzi, come with me."

"Ah? Zi? What did you say?" Youyouzi seemed to have not heard what I said clearly.

"I said, come with me! I have a way to take out that thing from your body, cut off your connection with the Westward Demon, and make you lose the power of death!" I suddenly grabbed Youyouzi's shoulders and said.

If you are a normal person, you will definitely accept it after suffering? After all, this power is the culprit of everything.

However, Youyouzi just stayed a little while, then smiled and said, "No, Zi."

"Why? Why can't it be?" I asked.

"Because if I lose this body of power, what should I do if the Westward Demon? I can feel that even a monster as powerful as Zi can't completely seal the Westward Demon."

"What does that thing have to do with you!" I said excitedly: "From the beginning and the end, the sealing of the Westward Monastery is a task imposed on you by those from the Westward Monastery family?"

"No, that is my destiny. A person's life is born with a certain destiny. When destiny is completed, it is the moment of death..." Youyouzi said calmly, unable to see that she was talking about her death at all, as if she was talking about someone else: "If I throw away my destiny and leave, then the Westward Monster will inevitably kill more people... By then, all the efforts made by the elders of the Westward Temple family will be in vain."

"They are just using you! They are using you to seal the Westward Monster!" I said a few times: "Can't you even see this?"

"Even so, that's my destiny. If I can save more people by myself if I die, then I would rather die with a smile."

“…”

I looked at Youyouzi in disbelief.

Even if she said this, can she still maintain a clear heart and move towards death with peace of mind...

Don’t she hate the power of her own death? Don’t she hate those who fear and despise herself? Don’t she be sad for her own death? Don’t she curse her own destiny?

"Why...why?" I couldn't help asking.

"hehe……"

Youyouzi didn't answer my question in the end, just smiled gently, just like the ink-dyeed cherry blossoms...
