Zongman: The Traveler In Our Dreams

Daybreak──

“I never thought I could see such beautiful cherry blossoms.”

“Yes, I don’t know which nobleman planted this tree. It’s so big that you can see it from the whole Heian Kyoto.”

“Who knows? It’s so big, I’m afraid it’s almost a monster. But that seems to be the area of the Onmyoji, so there shouldn’t be any problems.”

“……”

At the market in the early morning, everyone’s attention was attracted by the blooming cherry tree of the Saigyouji family, and they began to discuss its origin.

Although it is the season when cherry blossoms are in full bloom, it is still rare to see such a large cherry tree.

Many people speculated whether the cherry tree cultivated by a certain Onmyoji was going to turn into a monster. After all, such a cherry tree looks extraordinary.

Other Onmyoji were also attracted by this wonder and came to the door of the Saigyouji family to find out what was going on.

However, they were all stopped outside.

The guards of the Saigyouji family stopped everyone, even the Onmyoji people were not allowed to pass.

At this moment, these guards were very nervous, because they had to buy time for their family members and must not let other people find out the truth.

If they were discovered, then regardless of whether they could handle the matter well, the Saigyouji family would be finished.

At this moment inside the Saigyouji family──

“Damn it! Is there no way to kill this monster?”

The head of the Saigyouji family looked angrily at the cherry tree standing in the middle of the courtyard, and at the same time looked sadly at the tribesmen lying down.

“Master, if we continue like this, there is no way to stop the cherry trees from blooming. We will not be able to hold on any longer.”

“Yes, master, once the influence of this monster spreads, the entire Heian-kyo will fall into chaos.”

Taking advantage of the gap in the attack, the two Onmyoji of the Saigyouji family stopped and shouted loudly to the master of the Saigyouji family.

Hearing what the two said, the master of the Saigyouji family also fell silent.

Staring closely at the cherry blossom tree not far away and the clansmen who kept falling, he fell into entanglement.

Because now, they can only solve this monster in one way, and that is Youyouko.

But in this case, Youyouko will definitely die, and he can’t bear it.

Yes, he can’t bear it.

Because the current honor of the Saigyouji family is closely related to Youyouko. If he loses Youyouko.

He is not sure whether the Saigyouji family can still prosper.

It’s a very ruthless idea.

But it has no effect on Youyouko, because she already knew it.

When she was cultivated into a weapon by the family, she already understood what her parents thought of her.

So instead of caring about such things that have been known for a long time, it is better to stay together.

“Brother Wubie, the Saigyouji demon has blossomed.”

“Yes, it’s beautiful, isn’t it? This is the most beautiful cherry blossom that was born because of Youyouzi.”

He picked the bellflower and put a strawberry on his shoulder. Now Youyouzi was lying on his back, with her head on his shoulder, looking outside.

“Ah~ Well, it’s very beautiful. I think it must be delicious if it is made into sakura cakes~(o﹃o)”

“Haha, yes, it must be delicious.”

It’s no surprise that Youyouzi is greedy. She wants to use the cherry blossoms of the Saigyouji demon to make cherry blossom cakes, which is in line with her personality.

Sakura cakes, I haven’t made them since the cherry blossoms fell, I will make them for Youyouzi again if I have the chance.

But now……

“Youyouzi, someone is coming”

“Hmm?”

She turned around with some confusion and saw that the servants who were doing their daily cleaning had already arrived at the backyard.

However, they were already shocked by the scene in front of them.

“What beautiful cherry blossoms!”

Not noticing the tragedy on the other side of the courtyard, the two servants were obsessed with the cherry blossoms in the backyard. The cherry blossom trees that blocked out the sun had covered the entire backyard, and the cherry blossoms fell sparsely, just like in a dream.

And the cherry blossoms spread on the ground did not make people feel messy, but like a unique painting that made people linger.

Seeing this dream scene, anyone would want to touch it, such beauty (death) really makes people yearn for it.

They also unconsciously began to move towards the direction of the cherry tree, wanting to touch the beautiful cherry blossoms, but──

“Don’t move.”

The beautiful voice awakened the two from the temptation of death. They turned back suddenly and saw a beautiful but emotionless smile.

“Miss Youyouko!”

The moment they saw Youyouko, the two did not bow, but instead stepped back in fear.

Everyone is afraid of death.

But when death becomes beautiful, it will induce people to die voluntarily, just like now.

The original fear disappeared in an instant, and turned into yearning.

They began to approach Youyouko, wanting to embrace this beauty (death).

At this moment, Youyouko said in an emotionless voice

“Ah, do you want to hug me? But creatures born from death, no matter how beautiful they are, still represent death?

So are you really ready to hug me?”

She smiled and pointed at herself, as beautiful as cherry blossoms.

Normal people would be obsessed with Youyouko when they see her smile.

However, the servant in front of him was awakened by Youyouko’s words, and then he realized that something was wrong with him.

Then fear enveloped his heart, cold sweat broke out, and he collapsed and shouted

“Don’t kill us!”

The two screamed at the same time, and then quickly fled the backyard. When he passed by Wu Bie, he found that the two were crying in fear.

“……”

Wubie watched everything quietly without saying anything.

There was nothing wrong with the servants’ behavior, as people hated death.

And Youyouzi would not be bothered by their behavior because she was used to it.

In fact, she would be bothered if they accepted it calmly.

For someone who could accept death unconditionally, it was enough to have Wubie as his brother.

After scaring the two servants away, Youyouzi also jumped to Wubie’s side and threw herself into his arms again.

“Brother Wubie, the person who disturbed us has left, let’s continue”

“Yes, my lovely princess.”

Holding Youyouzi in his arms, the two sat on the corridor, quietly looking at the blooming cherry trees.

Wubie said

“Youyouzi, what do you think this cherry tree demon should be called? It has become a demon, so it can’t still be called a cherry tree.”

“Well, actually my father and the others have already given it a name. I remember it was called Saigyouji Yao.”

“Saigyouji monster, because it is a monster born in Saigyouji’s family, so it is called Saigyouji monster?”

Hearing this name, Wubie shook his head.

Even if he didn’t intervene, her name would still be this.

But it doesn’t matter, no matter what name they give it, it doesn’t matter, because Saigyouji family will become history tomorrow.

After asking the name, Wubie and Youyouzi didn’t pay attention to these things, and started eating and chatting as usual.

And today Youyouzi drank a lot of wine. Wubie didn’t stop her, just accompanied her and met all her needs.

However, today, Youyouzi was extremely obedient, just let Wubie feed her and accompany her to drink.

No other things were required, and they got along warmly.

Maybe it was because of the two servants just now.

Until the evening, no servant came to disturb them, and no one asked Youyouzi to eat.

And the Onmyoji of Saigyouji were all dealing with Saigyouji monster and had no time to take care of Youyouzi.

As for Zi and the others.

They all knew that today’s time belonged to Youyouzi alone, so they didn’t come to disturb her.

In this way, the two watched the changes in things quietly, until——

“Youyouzi, I have something to tell you”
