Okay so at this point I can kind of accept the memories..I even kind of understand getting back powers. But..this..

[He holds up a sleek black flute with a red tassel dangling from the end of it.]

I don't even know how to play the flute and don't really have a whole lot of interest in learning. Does anyone know if I'll just magically wake up some day with an ability to play or should I just put this up on my shelf as some sort of decoration?

[He sets it back down and then picks up a piece of paper that is a few inches wide and about eight inches long with red designs scrolled across it.]

Also, anyone know what this is because I've been drawing them all morning and have a stack of various ones now that I'm afraid to touch in case I light the place on fire by accident. I just moved in here so I'd rather not mess it up. I'm really not mentally prepared to start having magic abilities..

[Is he stressed out? He might be slightly stressed..he's had far too many memories hitting him lately and now with the addition of these magic paper pieces and a flute he is starting to panic that the whole controlling ghosts things is in his very near future.]

[He can't tell him, not yet, because even he wasn't sure. In his recent dream, his past life, he came to study something and it has to do with cultivation]

Sound spooky, but those items you have, it's an important clue in what you used to do.

[chenqing_player]

Well..right now they are pretty useless. I guess until I have a few more memories they are just going to be odd trinkets.

[Particularly the flute since he doesn't know how to play it.]

[inquiryguqin]

[It takes Wangji a few moments of googling it]

That flute is a bamboo flute called the dizi.

[With amusement]

Why not take flute lessons? I started with a recorder and play in elementary school. It's easy to learn.

[chenqing_player]

I don't really have time to dedicate to such a thing..

[He is musically inclined so it probably wouldn't take him long to pick up the basics but he really doesn't have much interest in learning a musical instrument. It's not like he can use it in his show.]

Besides..I've seen what this thing can do in my memories and I'm not interested in being able to do that.

[inquiryguqin]

[Color him curious, but he has to ask]

What the flute can do in your memories? It is a magical flute?

[chenqing_player]

I'm not sure if its considered magic..or just evil. It seemed to be able to summon ghosts.

[Which is terrifying and he doesn't want to be able to do such a thing.]

[inquiryguqin]

Resentment energy. The thoughts of the dead.

[He corrects him, and then realized what he said, when his memories start to bleed through as the words came out of his mouth. Oops.]

Nevermind. Better put it away. That sound like a powerful tool to use. Though I must tell you, I do believe ghosts are real.

[chenqing_player]

[Resentful energy..that sounds even worse. He is definitely pushing that flute further away.]

Yeah they are definitely real..if my memories are any indication anyway.

[inquiryguqin]

In the memory, the person who plays the flute was you? I find that hard to believe. That sounds like necromancy to me as such magic exists in fantasy novels or in the occult books.

[chenqing_player]

There is still a lot I don't know about the memories. But from what I have seen, necromancy is definitely not out of the realm of possibility.

[inquiryguqin]

Well, I guess you shouldn't practice that creepy stuff. That's sensible.

[He's not going to tell him about his dream. That in the dream, he's trying to stop him from losing control on the dark path.]

[chenqing_player]

I intend to avoid it at all costs. I don't want anything to do with it. I'm perfectly happy without any powers.
