Chapter 3: Yami
The sun was shining, and the trunks of the trees were swaying in the wind, as if they were greeting someone.
"Gollum~"
"Gollum looks pretty happy. β
Yuemu frowned, slightly stared, looked up at the huge fireball in the sky, for a while, all kinds of complex emotions were intertwined in his heart, after years of hard work, he could finally bathe in the warm sun.
"I actually... I was able to walk in the light, too. β
At this time, he set his eyes on the stone held in the palm of his hand, this stone was also slightly illuminated by the sunlight at this time, although it was illuminated by the light, but the cold air that came out of it did not show any signs of subsiding.
"Is it because of the horse last night? It's very weak. β
Yuemu has a sense of trance about this sudden growth, after cultivating desperately for so many years, it is not as fast as absorbing a powerful Yin Spirit, if you absorb a few more, the benefits will be worth many years of cultivation, the world is really unfair.
"Daddy!"
"Huh?"
At this moment, Tsukime saw a little girl in front of her who broke free from her mother's hand and threw herself in the direction of a nearby wall.
"Lily, what's wrong with you?" the mother blurted out in confusion.
"Don't hurt my dad!" she spread out her delicate arms in front of the muddy yin spirit that came out of the sewers. β
"Lily, what are you talking about?!...... Go, follow me!" the mother anxiously shook one of her daughter's hands!
"I don't want !! Daddy is still here!"
"Lily, what are you talking about? Your dad is long gone!"
"Yes...... But, Daddy, he's right here!!" the daughter cried out in a choked voice.
"He's gone!! Lily, your dad is gone!" said the mother, who also shed tears in her eyes.
I don't know when her daughter has been like a demon and mutters every day that her father is by her side, but she knows that her husband has left due to a car accident a few years ago, and her daughter's abnormality makes her feel very frightened.
"Lily, leave me alone, you and mom go quickly!" said the man who was protected by his daughter.
"The man is?...... Are human souls?" Although Tsukime had only heard of it from the mouth of the cultivator, it was indeed the first time he had seen a human soul that had not become a ghost - with the appearance and memories of the deceased, they could travel through the human world at will, but they had little means of self-defense, so they often became the prey of the Yin spirits.
"Don't!" Lily shouted.
"Lily, your mother is right, I'm just a soul still in this world, leave me alone, get out of here with your mother!" the adult man shouted.
Immediately, the sludge monster jumped violently, and although it looked very large, it was extremely flexible, and in a matter of moments, it had passed through Lily's body to her father.
"Wow!!" As the Sludge Monster opened its rotten jaw, a lightning shadow flashed between the Sludge Monster and Lily's father.
"Don't!" Lily cried out in a hoarse voice.
"Rub!"
When everyone came to their senses, the sludge monster was already in mid-air, and its foul-smelling body had been sliced into many pieces.
"Smack!"
Pieces of the sludge monster's body were scattered on the ground.
"Are you okay?" So, under the gaze of everyone, a slender figure appeared next to Lilyβββ she had slightly long chestnut hair, her eyes and nails were lovely pink, the white blouse on her body had a slight cherry blossom pattern, and the light blue jeans highlighted her white and slender legs.
Lily was stunned for a moment, and then the expression on her face became very excited, "Ah... Thank... Thank you. β
"Really, thank you so much for your rescue!" said the adult man excitedly.
"Leigh... Lily, what's wrong with you?!" The mother was really nervous by this sentence of her daughter's unwarranted words.
"Mom, Dad, Dad, he was saved by this sister~"
"It's all about your father and him...", Lily's mother looked into Lily's eyes, and those eyes were so real, so innocent, not like she was lying.
"Well, that's great. Mother's gaze softened at this point.
Although she couldn't understand Lily's abnormal behavior at all, and she couldn't see what Lily said about her father and this sister who was helping her when she saw injustice, at this moment, she would rather believe than deny her.
"It's okay anymore~" Yami said as she gently stroked Lily's head.
"Wow!" At this moment, the head of the sludge monster slammed into the direction of Yami.
"Sister, watch out for !! behind"
As soon as Lily finished speaking, the head of the lump of mud had been burned to ashes by the dark blue flames that appeared out of thin air. At this time, Yami noticed Tsukime standing not far away.
Then, she turned her head back to Lily: "Be careful in the future, try not to let your father leave the house." No, this is for you. β
Yami pulled something resembling a sachet out of his pocket.
"Bring this with you to avoid the attack of the Yin Spirit as much as possible. β
"Well... Sister..."Lily suddenly raised her head and said with a happy face, "Really... Thank you!"
"Alright, get out of here with your mom and dad!" Yami said with a smile.
"Hmm!" Lily hurriedly ran over to hold her mother's hand, and then took her father's hand beside her.
Under the gaze of Yami and Tsukime in the distance, Lily held her mother's hand with her left hand, and held her father's hand with her right hand, which was not really in contact, and the three of them slowly left.
"It felt like family... It's so nice~".
Yami muttered softly, and then she turned her head and looked at Tsukime standing behind her, and only then did Yami see Tsukime's appearance clearlyβthick black hair, tough and deep dark red eyes, and black baggy clothes, it was almost perfect. Yami's face instantly turned red, this person is so handsome!
"That's... That one... Thank you for what you just did!" she stammered a little after becoming shy.
"It's okay, it's just a matter of help. Tsukime waved her hand, looked at Yami with a natural expression, and then lowered her head again.
"Gollum~"
"Alas?!This is... Yin Spirit?!Your pet?!" Yami was attracted by the little guy in front of her, and couldn't help but lower her head to take a closer look.
"Gollum, my partner. β
"Alas~ It's really enviable!"
"My name is Yami. What about you?" Yami straightened up, her expression becoming a little more natural after introducing herself.
"Tsukime. β
"Tsukime, um... What a nice name~"
"Thank you. β
"Hehe, seeing that you can walk in the light, it means that you are also strong?"
"Well, it's okay~"
"Hey, how do I feel your tone... Some... What about the cold??"
"Ahh What do you think of that?"
Tsukime bared her teeth and threw a few funny expressions at Yami.
"Alas?!!"
Yami covered her face and said, "Forget it, where are you from?"
"Lingmu Mountain. β
"Oh, Lingmu Mountain, what a good place to be!"
"I'm from Mt. Okus. β
"Keeping out the cold... Mountain?"
"Well, yes, what's the problem?" Yami asked, raising an eyebrow.
"It's nothing, I was going to go to Mt. Yuhan with a friend of mine at night!"
"Ahh
"He's still afraid of light. β
"Oh... That's it!"
"Well, you're welcome to play in the evening!" Yami said with a smile.
"Good. β
"Ya... Yami, that kid just now, can see the soul!" Tsukime suddenly said to Yami, who was about to leave.
"Yes, not only the soul, but also us and the Yin Spirit. It's the first time I've seen a human like this. β
Yami continued: "Of course, there is nothing strange about it, our existence is difficult for them humans to understand, even we ourselves don't know why we exist in this world, let alone them, but humans occasionally ask themselves who they really are, where they came from, and where they are going. β
"Actually, it's a truth! No one knows why they came to this world! So, don't think about it, because there will be no answer. β
"yes, you're right. β
"Ahh Yami accidentally said everything she thought, which may be the power of appearance.
"It's okay, you have a point. β
"Yes, that's good~"
"Then, see you in the evening!"
"Hmm. β
"Bye~"
"Bye. β
Yami turned her head and walked forward, as a blush appeared on her cheeks again. "I hope we can see each other soon. β
ββ¦β¦β
Tsukime lowered her head and said to Gollum, "Well, it's okay... Let's go back!".
"Gollum~"
Along the way, from time to time, there will be chirping sparrows flying from tree to tree, mischievous children running from the grass to the river to play, the small fish in the river swim around, and the sparkling light reflected by the sun on the water surface makes the whole river shiny. Tsukime couldn't help but start to feel how happy it was to be able to live in this world.
"Huh?"
At this moment, a cry came from the other side of the river:
"Help me!"
I saw a man being chased by a multi-legged lizard-like yin spirit that crawled out of the river. "Soul, soul!" the Yin Spirit excitedly spat out bursts of stinky air from its mouth.
"Is it a human soul again... Hmph, it's been a lively day. β
"Burning flames. β
"Boom!"
"Whoa!" Immediately, the lizard's entire body was surrounded by dark blue flames, "Damn... Hell, I... Iβ" Before it could utter a complete sentence, its soul was gone, and then, its yin energy was sucked into its body by the moon.
"Are you alright?"
"Ahh It's okay, thank you..."The man said slowly, with a dirty face.
"Why don't you choose to ascend to heaven instead of staying on earth? β
"Hey, there are a lot of things that I can't let go. β
When the adult man came to his senses, he sighed: "After I left, my wife lived alone with the child, watching her work so hard every day, going to work in the restaurant alone, and taking care of the children's schooling, and my son is very timid, and sometimes he is bullied by others when he goes to school, and I don't look at them, I... I can't rest assured!"
As he spoke, his tone began to choke, and his body trembled.
"Is it similar to the situation of the father and daughter just now... Tsukime thought to herself, sure enough, the power of father's love is very great, but I have forgotten the father-son relationship in my previous life, perhaps, I haven't experienced it at all.
"I'm really, so useless!"
The man bit his lip hard to keep himself from crying.
Tsukime listened silently on the side, since he came to this world again as a ghost, it was the first time he had personally felt such a strong emotion, and the indescribable touch in his heart was not small.
"Wow!" the man crouched on the ground and finally burst into tears.
A few hours later...
"The scenery here is so beautiful!" the breeze ruffled their hair, and the man and Tsukime sat on the lawn with their legs slightly bent, sighing at the scenery in front of them.
"Yes. β
"By the way, do you really remember anything from your past life?" the man asked softly.
"Well, yes, the memories of our ghost's past lives have all been erased. β
"Huh?~ Then you guys are really... It's tragic. β
"Maybe it's better that way, no worries. Tsukimu looked up, his crimson eyes became a little dim, where was her only sister at this time?
"Well, too!" the man replied when he saw Tsukime's sadness.
Tsukime turned his head: "I'm sorry, I can't think of any words to comfort you, but... Since you can't let go, then come in the way you think is right! β
"Thanks... Thank you. The man wiped the tears that had fallen from the corners of his eyes.
"I still plan to stay with them. β
"Well, then, good luck. β
Tsukime got up to leave, he knew that not always there would be enthusiastic people who would stand up when this man was in danger, and he didn't have the kind of sachet that Yami had just carried to give to someone who only had one side, so he could only say good luck to show his helplessness.
At this time, it is 30 meters above the moon.
"Ahh
The old man smoked the pipe he was holding in his hand, and then spit out a thick circle of smoke around him.
"The soul of a human being, the powerful demon, the inscrutable yin spirit, and I don't even know why I exist, well, sure enough, I really don't know anything about this world......" Tsukime laughed to himself.
"Gollum!"
"yes, it's useless to just think about that. β
"Whatever. β
"Gollum~"
