Yin Yang Master (GL) sodu

  After seven days of vacation, everyone accompanied their grandmother, either traveling to nearby cities or gathering together for casual chats. It was just like an ordinary family.

  On the eighth day of the holiday, Du Sulin stood stupidly in front of the door, his feet as heavy as lead, his eyes fixed on the snowman at the entrance.

  Her delicate face, purple hair had long been covered by snow, even the wind blowing couldn't make it flutter. How could she not recognize the snowman in front of her, they had just met on the rooftop a while ago.

  "He's dead." Murong Ruo Yu said after brushing off the snow from Zi Qi's body and checking him.

  "But his body didn't dissipate..." Du Sulin still held a glimmer of hope. But she knew that from the moment she saw Zi Qi, those empty and lightless purple eyes had already told her everything.

  "It's almost over, his body's energy is almost depleted." Murong Ruyu was very calm, and reached out to press on Ziqi's neck.

  "This might be our last meeting, if you still insist on your thoughts, don't give up. Duslin, you are the only one who has hope to contend with him. Wish you success." Duslin's mind suddenly recalled what Ziqi said to her that night, over and over again. Don't give up.

  Du Sulin stepped forward, step by step, and carefully examined the man in front of him. "Don't worry, I won't give up," Du Sulin said to him, reaching out his hand to close the eyes that had never been closed.

  At this time, Ziqi's body began to disperse and turn into a faint purple light. In a daze, Dusilin seemed to see Ziqi smiling at her, with the same arrogant smile as before.

  "Tai Guang, look...!" After a long time, the place where Zi Qi stayed only left a pair of footprints. There was also a brocade bag.

  On the brocade pouch was embroidered a single character for "chess", elegant and delicate, clearly written by a woman. Murong Yu picked up the brocade pouch, brushing off the snow stains on it.

  "There is a letter and a jade pendant." She opened the brocade pouch.

  Du Sulin took the letter handed over by Murong Ruyu and opened it to take a look. The letter said that he had a favor from Wanyan, so Wanyan was willing to listen to him and do things for him. Now, Du Sulin could rely on that piece of jade pendant to make Wanyan surrender to him. This news might be insignificant to others, but to Du Sulin, it could be said to be a pretty good New Year's gift. Wanyan Zonglin was Chu Feng's rival, and often, rivals were the best friends or brothers. In this joyful New Year, those who were not present were only Du Kongyang, and on the other side was Chu Feng. Du Sulin knew where Chu Feng had gone since she told Chu Feng about Xi Yue's news. Sometimes, quietly guarding like this was also a happy thing.

  Thinking of this, Du Sulin's grip on the jade pendant also tightened by a few degrees.

  "We are in the light, he is in the dark, so nothing will happen." Duslin suddenly said.

  "What's the point of doing anything?" Du Siyan furrowed his brow, but in fact, no matter what they did, it was all just a futile effort for those hidden in the shadows. Because every move, every word and every action had already been seen through.

  Just now when Du Si Lin was in a daze, Du Si Yan and others were also attracted by the commotion outside.

  "What about Aunt?" Du Siyan asked.

  "I have my own ideas, and you just go along with me as if nothing has happened." Du Sulin suddenly stared at Du Siyan's eyes, with the words "don't ask questions" written all over his face.

  "I disagree." Perhaps among so many people, only Xiao Qingzhu could say such a forceful statement. One sentence was enough to negate Du Siling.

  "I won't be in trouble, don't worry. If you guys don't listen to me and cooperate with me, that's the way to get me into danger." Du Sulin grasped Xiao Qingzhu's shoulder firmly and steadily.

  "Qing Zhu, I believe in Tai Guang." The speaker was Fang Feng. Among the people present, if it's said that they understood, perhaps not even Xiao Qingzhu understood Du Siling as well as Fang Feng did. She was the only one who had watched and accompanied Du Siling grow up bit by bit.

  As soon as the words came out, naturally no one opposed it anymore. Du Sulin's face was written with two words of confidence, but her eyes were like a deep well, and no one could guess what she was thinking.

  ……

  Night.

  "Taiguang, are you really that confident?" Du Siling strolled in the park, seemingly aimless, with Fengfeng walking shoulder to shoulder with her.

  The two of them seemed to have returned to the scene of several months ago, that summer. Since Xiao Qingzhu appeared after their reunion in Jingji, these two intimate people had rarely had the opportunity to walk side by side again.

  "Feng, you understand me, you know what I'm thinking." Du Sulin said with a sigh, his hands clasped behind his back.

  "I know you don't want anyone around you to risk their life for you." Fengfeng let out a deep sigh in her heart. Duslin was still Duslin, she had burdens to shoulder and people to protect in her heart.

  "I originally thought that with me and you, it would be enough to protect the people around us." Du Sulin stopped in her tracks, her hands resting on the railing in front of her. Before her eyes was the vast expanse of the Flying Cloud River. "Until that day when Zi Qi died, his body disappearing bit by bit before my very eyes. I was taken aback and also deeply saddened. It's hard to imagine what I would become if it were any one of you instead. Suddenly, I understood that there are some risks that I couldn't bear to take, nor did I dare to." Du Sulin lifted her head to gaze at the sky, taking a deep breath. She was not afraid of death, but she feared losing those she cherished.

  "If I were you, I would do the same." Feng didn't say anything else, but just like when they were kids, she ruffled Du Siling's hair. "However, you have to promise me one condition." Her tone turned serious.

  "What?" Du Sulin turned his head towards Fang Feng.

  "I'll help you."

  Time seemed to stand still at this moment. Four eyes met, and finally, the two people smiled at each other again.

  "I knew you'd say that." Du Sulin shook his head with a helpless smile.

  "You knew what I was going to say long ago, but I'm really nervous. I'm still thinking, if you don't agree, what should I do?" Fengfeng joked.

  "I don't believe it. Those who know me, none are better than Fang Feng." Du Si Lin gazed out at the Fei Yun River, its vast waters soothing and calming to the mind.

  "Look at the fetal light." Fengfeng suddenly pointed to a place, and the pedestrians around him rushed there like a tide, pointing and whispering.

  "Drowned." Du Sulin glanced over and spat out a few words.

  "Drowned? But there's a lot of resentment." Fang Feng tugged at Du Si Lin's sleeve again.

  "She died with a grievance." Du Sulin had an expression of being unwilling to get involved in other people's business.

  "Come on, let's go take a look. It's been ages since you've had any dealings with ghosts anyway." With that, Fang Feng dragged Du Si Lin towards the crowd of people.

  These two people have not yet seen the scene of the crime, but they are familiar with the situation at the scene of the crime, and even clearer than the police who came to investigate. Only one saw a corpse that had been soaked in the river water and turned white being fished out, some police were collecting evidence, some police were asking pedestrians questions, and forensic doctors were conducting preliminary examinations on the deceased's body.

  "Tai Guang, her soul..." Feng said dazedly when he saw the corpse.

  "That's not her soul." Du Sulin glanced at the ghost floating not far above the corpse.

  The ghost seemed to have heard the whispers between Feng and Douslin, and cast his gaze over, though somewhat surprised, but people who could see souls were not in the minority, he had naturally also heard some. Soon his gaze turned fierce, as if warning Douslin and Feng. Although Douslin emitted an aura that made him fearful, he didn't think much of it, thinking it was just the yang energy of a mortal suppressing him.

  "Of course I knew it wasn't her soul," Fengfeng continued, "The corpse was female, how could the soul be male? What I'm asking is, why did this happen?"

  "Have you ever heard that people who drowned need to find a substitute in order to reincarnate?" Du Si Lin looked at Fang Feng and said, "So, you and Jing Jie are the lucky ones."

  She nodded as if she was deep in thought. She and Jingji were forced to death at the moat, but not drowned. After death, those people buried Jingji in the far east. And her, the body was cremated, ashes scattered everywhere. It's not an exaggeration to describe it as "crushing bones and scattering ashes".

  "So, the woman's soul is probably still in the river. The resentment we just saw should be hers." Du Si Lin furrowed his brow and looked along the river water, that resentment sometimes appeared and disappeared, but lingered around the riverbank, not leaving.

  "Fetal movement, it seems a bit off." Fengfeng said suddenly.

  "It's a bit off, a soul that died not long ago can control its own resentment, this is unlikely..." Du Slin whispered.

  "Ugh... ugh..." Some of the onlookers around him started vomiting, after all, that was a real corpse, emitting a foul odor from head to toe, and no longer had its original appearance, having become completely unrecognizable.

  "Can you handle it?" Fang Feng looked at Du Si Lin with inquiring eyes, recalling that Du Si Lin had never been in contact with the drowned ghost before.

  Du Sulin shook his head, "Can be solved, but won't be solved."

  "What's wrong?" Fengfeng seemed lost in thought.

  Douslin smiled mysteriously and said, "The time has not come yet."

  "Alright then, I'll wait for the right moment to arrive, and Master Taiguang will make his move." Fangfeng joked, smiling and nodding at Du Siling.

  "Hey, someone's dead here. If you want to have fun, go further away!" A passerby couldn't bear to watch. She didn't know what Du Siling and Fang Feng were discussing before, she just saw that these two people had been talking about something since they came, and finally even laughed. The deceased was not related to her, but she felt that the deceased should be respected.

  "Uh, sorry about that." Fangfeng smiled apologetically at the passerby and dodged to one side with Du Siling. "Do you think she thinks we're gloating?" Fangfeng asked.

  "What did you say?" Du Sulin glanced at her and said lazily, "Let's go back."
