Medium 048

  "Dad."

  Xiao Yun let out a crisp cry, and with a thud, she fell to the ground. I saw my body being helped up by Uncle, and then wiping away tears, Xiao Yun came back to life. This wasn't a case of returning from the dead, because I wasn't a corpse, and Xiao Yun wasn't a spirit.

  She can only say that it's just borrowing my body to revive, I will never admit that my own body is a corpse.

  "Xiao Yun, you've finally made it through, after all these years, you've finally found someone like that."

  The old man's voice was trembling with excitement, and he helped Xiaoyun up. After a brief exchange, Xiaoyun turned her head and used my body to look at me. Under the white light, I was just a lonely soul. Xiaoyun had died and come back to life, but she was still a ghost after all, and she could see me.

  Xiao Yi slowly walked towards me, under the red light, that look was very good-looking, for the first time I felt that my body was actually quite okay too, but that look and figure were very similar to someone.

  I racked my brains and finally remembered her figure and face, so much like Liu Xiujun who had disappeared at the bottom of the Ximen River.

  As a soul, my body was light and I wanted to retreat, but my feet floated away. She came before me, grasped the soul that was floating in mid-air, and with another gentle breeze, my soul stood on the ground, as transparent as sunlight.

  "I'm just borrowing your body, don't worry, I'll take good care of it for you." Xiao Yun stood in front of me, seemingly very satisfied with my body, circling around me.

  "No, I don't want to become a wandering ghost. I want to go back to Uncle's side." I shook my head in terror. I still have Uncle, what if he can't find me? He will worry.

  "I've been wandering as a wild ghost for three years now, being a wandering soul isn't bad either."

  Xiao Yi stopped and said with a calm tone, "Since your wandering soul is doing well, why do you still want to occupy my body?"

  "I don't want to be a wandering soul, you quickly leave my body." I shook my head in dismay, looking at the smile on my face. I had never found myself so good-looking before, and it turned out that the me in the mirror was not as good-looking as the real me.

  Perhaps Uncle Ah also feels this way.

  Thinking of Uncle Ah, I'm even more unwilling to die like this. I look at Little Yun and say, "Uncle is a medium, he will find his way here."

  "Uncle?"

  Xiao Yi was somewhat perplexed, but I saw the shape of her lips when she called me Uncle, all of this, is the past me!

  I stand in front of Qin Yuanyang and call him Uncle, he will smile at me, it's so happy.

  Xiao Yi looked puzzled for a moment, then burst out laughing. "I don't care about your Uncle or whatever medium you are." She leaned in close and whispered in my ear, "All I know is that Great Ancestor Granny was right. She told me to wait three years, and after three years, someone with only a soul but no spirit would come to this place. Great Ancestor Granny also said that this person is the one I've been waiting for, and only by waiting for this person can I use their body to resurrect. And it turns out, that person is you." After finishing speaking, she burst out laughing again.

  I narrowed my eyes, "Ta Zu Nai Nai? Who is that?"

  "It's not necessary for you to know who I am. All you need to know is that from now on, I will live in your name and you will relive the life I once had."

  I was shocked, if she is like this, then I will become a lonely soul wandering around, never having a day to return.

  But what did she mean by saying that someone has a soul but no spirit? What is the difference between spirit and soul?

  Xiao Yi saw me being silent, she gradually retreated, looking at my soul shaking her head, I didn't understand what she meant, she murmured, "If you had appeared earlier, I wouldn't have killed so many people."

  She had turned around and stood beside the uncle, "However, if I didn't kill so many people, I wouldn't have known that you were the one I was waiting for. Don't worry, this body has now become mine, I will take good care of it, I will live on, and won't waste your body."

  Xiao Yi stood under the white light and laughed loudly, her laughter was so terrifying that I had never seen myself in this state before. If I were to become a fierce ghost after death, would I also be like this?

  "Dad, let's go home." After Xiaoyi finished speaking, she and her uncle walked towards the temple gate. I wanted to chase after them, but a white light pierced my body, and at the moment of contact, my soul was injured. I looked at my transparent soul shattering like paper fragments. I retreated into the temple, not daring to move forward again.

  Xiao Yun had been imprisoned in this temple all along, blocked by the yin-yang line, and could not leave here for three years.

  And now I'm just a lonely soul, unable to leave. At this moment, I no longer belong to the world of humans. If I can't find my body back, I will be trapped in this dark and gloomy temple forever, accompanied by that black coffin and the corpse on top...

  Looking at the black wound on his arm, I was so sad that I couldn't cry and fell to the ground.

  The wooden door creaked open, and a brilliant white light shone in, making it impossible for me to open my eyes. After adapting to the light, I slowly got up from the ground, and that was when I saw them.

  "Who are you?"

  I looked at Xiaoyun and Uncle Wang walking out of the temple with a puzzled expression. Didn't they leave? Why did they come back?

  It wasn't until I saw the terror on Xiaoyi's face that I realized things weren't as simple as they seemed. What were they afraid of?

  That figure stood in the light, although I couldn't see his face clearly, but this figure I will never forget, even if I'm left with only my soul, or even turn to dust, I won't be able to forget him.
