    Summary

    Xie Lian wants to apologize to Wu Ming and see if his soul is still lingering so he performs a ritual to summon the ghost.

    Things don’t go as planned.
    -
    He draws the array carefully, with all the hopes and regrets of the centuries poured into it. He checks every corner, every detail, every character for errors and finds none.

    It’s time.

    Zhong yuan only lasts a night and Xie Lian cannot waste this chance.

    Summary

    [The scream he lets out is inhuman. It’s a sound that reaches the heavens, shakes the ground there. A sound so horribly stricken, so laden with grief that every animal for miles around- silenced initially by the powerful ghostly aura that trod through the fields- now howls along. There will be myths surrounding that sound, about the animals’ cries, about how every human who heard it burst into tears that were not their own, but for now all that exists is a mourning ghost and the breathing corpse of a god.]

    Or: another Xie Lian prays to Wu Ming in the coffin fic.

    Summary

    “I’m sorry Gege, I’m just a bit surprised. Let me make sure I am understanding this correctly,” he said, taking half a step forward. “You are real and also asleep. I am also real, and not a figment of your imagination. We are both real, and asleep, and dreaming the same dream right now.”

    Xie Lian shrugged. “It looks like it.”

    When Xie Lian gets hit by a curse, he winds up sharing his dreams with a certain ghost king who would very much like to know where he is in real life.

    Summary

    “What is Gege looking for in a spouse?” San Lang was clearly in a teasing mood. It was no use being flustered. Xie Lian’s only option was to play along.

    “They’d have to be kind.” He started thoughtfully. “And they couldn’t be too particular, I lead a pretty simple life and I can’t imagine that changing very much, even after I get married…. Oh! And they’d have to get along with my kids.”

    San Lang abruptly started coughing. “Gege has kids?” He choked out.

    Banyue and Pei Xiu find Xie Lian before he can leave them in the desert. All of a sudden, Xie Lian is a single father of two.
