Chapter 16: The Nine-Character Decision

I've been idle for a few days, and I've written 6000 word chapters, which I originally wanted to disassemble, but I thought about it, and I showed everyone enough, and I saw this chapter, so let's give a ticket and collect it

^O^^O^^ O^

Inside a hospital ward

"Professor Zhao, what's going on, why did the junior become like this?"

Xiao San and Tang Ji had already rushed to the hospital, looking at Ji Yan, who was still in a coma and wrapped like a mummy

"I was beaten by the person who called Wang Wengui to shout, it's all my fault, let him go out by himself if I ......"

Xiao San interrupted Professor Zhao's words

"Professor Zhao, don't be like this, if you weren't here, Ji Yan wouldn't know what would happen, since it is confirmed that it is Wang Wengui's group, do we have any effective evidence?"

Tang Ji stepped forward to hold Professor Zhao's hand, Xiao San's ability to know Professor Zhao was because of Tang Ji, Professor Zhao was Tang Ji's psychology teacher in college, and Tang Ji was also very interested in this course, and over time he got to know Tang Ji

"There is no evidence, they have one-way film on the windows, and the license plate is also covered, and the monitoring near my house is not developed, and it is difficult to find them."

Professor Zhao shook his head and said helplessly

Professor Zhao hid the truth from everyone, but Professor Zhao had his own plans, although it hurt Ji Yan's heart to say this, but if someone dared to do something to Ji Yan and his experimental subjects, it was nothing more than looking for death, not to mention that Ji Yan was so important

"Me too, I should have thought that they couldn't have done it like this"

The door to the room opened, and a figure walked in

High ponytail, jeans and pink clothes, wearing a pair of round-framed glasses

The person who came was Chen Siqi, and after receiving Tang Ji's call, Chen Siqi also immediately rushed over from the school

"Siqi, why are you here?"

Professor Zhao asked in surprise when he saw Chen Siqi

"Dad...... why are you here?"

Chen Siqi's words made Xiao San Tang Ji dumbfounded, and the room fell silent for a moment

"Siqi, you......... Professor Zhao ......"

Tang Ji was a little confused, what made her confused was the relationship between the two, Tang Ji didn't expect Professor Zhao to be Chen Siqi's father

Chen Siqi did not have the same surname as her father for some reasons, but the same surname as her mother, and it is no wonder that everyone does not know that Chen Siqi is Professor Zhao's daughter

You just explained that Professor Zhao didn't know about Chen Siqi and Wang Wengui

At this time, Professor Zhao had almost guessed the ins and outs of the matter, and the person he saved at that time must be his daughter

Professor Zhao stood up from the chair beside the bed, his brows furrowed, his face changed suddenly, and his voice was a little loud, accusing Chen Siqi

"Siqi, why don't you tell Dad? What do you want to do? Are you angry with me? Why are you so stupid......"

"I ...... I don't dare to talk to you...... I'm afraid you're worried...... ......"

Chen Siqi was obviously frightened by Professor Zhao, and quickly hid behind Tang Ji, lowered his head, and said resignedly

"Then you won't...... Hey~ Forget it...... Be careful in the future......"

Professor Zhao continued to clean up Chen Siqi, thinking about it in front of so many people, forget it, everything has already happened, what else can I do

"Dad...... I was wrong, I shouldn't have hidden it from you, but I ......"

Chen Siqi lowered her head and played with her fingers, and said aggrievedly

Professor Zhao has always been very good to Chen Siqi, Chen Siqi's mother left early, and Professor Zhao was the only one to take care of Chen Siqi

Seeing this, Tang Ji pulled Chen Siqi over and hugged him, and said to Professor Zhao

"Professor Zhao, although Siqi did something stupid, she was also afraid that you would worry about it, don't blame her"

"Silly daughter, there's no next time!"

Since Tang Jidu has protected Chen Siqi like this, Professor Zhao can't say much

"It's okay, Siqi, it's all over"

Tang Ji said to the pitiful Chen Siqi in his arms

"These are not important, the key is to find the person who hurt Ji Yan, it is impossible to find Wang Wengui to be useless, he will not admit that he shouted someone to hurt Ji Yan"

Xiao San brought the topic back to the current situation

"Ji Yan may have seen them, but Ji Yan is still in a coma...... Don't let me catch him next time, or I'll kill him."

Xiao San scolded on the side

At this moment, the door to the room was pushed open by the doctor

"Are the family here?"

"I!

Xiao San took the list and a bunch of invoices, as well as a few CTs

"The patient's condition is stable but stable, but if it is not unstable, it has been so long, but the patient is not awake"

"How can this be ......"

"There is also the problem that the tumor in the patient's brain has already begun to disease"

The doctor finished explaining and left

"What tumor?"

Professor Zhao heard the doctor's words and asked Xiao San

The face was not good, and Xiao San pulled his face down again

"Ji Yan has cancer, brain tumor"

This sentence reached Professor Zhao's mind, and it directly blew up

Will the tumor have anything to do with Ji Yan's ability to ascend to the dimension? Will Ji Yan's tumor lesions affect the ascending dimension? And Ji Yan has the rest of his time......

Countless questions flashed through Professor Zhao's mind

"Ji, Ji Yan, doesn't he know?"

Professor Zhao asked the crowd

"Now he is the only one who doesn't know about it, and we decided not to tell him, or else ......"

Xiao San said and looked at Ji Yan who was unconscious beside the bed

"I'll keep it a secret, I also have some research on the brain area, I'll see if I can find any relief, treatment."

Professor Zhao's already depressed mood plummeted

Ji Yan, Ji Yan, where are you now? Are you on "that side"?

Professor Zhao looked at Ji Yan on the bed

β€”β€”β€”β€” Baihu Townshipβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Jonas got up early to wash up, and then again, it was the first time he slept in the same house with a girl, and he was inexplicably excited last night

But after waking up, Jonas didn't see Zhao Xiaohua on the bed, her bed was on the far right, and Ji Yan was in the middle, Zhao Xiaohua's bed was clean and the quilt was neatly kept

"Ji Yan!

Jonas called out to Ji Yan beside him, and the sleepy-eyed Ji Yan stretched his waist and asked

"What's wrong?"

"Where did Zhao Xiaohua go in the morning?"

Jonas was obviously worried about Zhao Xiaohua

"I don't know, I guess I can't wait for us to leave first, it's almost time, we should also go, maybe we can catch up with her"

After Ji Yan finished speaking, he began to get out of bed and wash

After taking care of things, the two left the inn, left the beautiful Baihu Town, and continued to rush south, without Zhao Xiaohua, the two of them galloped quickly on the path, Ji Yan relied on that light work, and Jonas released a magic to make himself run fast

From Baihu Town to the south, there are continuous mountains, according to Ji Yan's calculations, take a break three times halfway, and you can rush to the sect around dark, and things will come to light

"Jonas, do you have more powerful magic, release it on me, I'll take you away"

Ji Yan disliked Jonas's pace being too slow

"Yes............ O my magic, listen to my instructions and give him the power of the wind!"

After Jonas finished reciting the incantation, two magic arrays the size of the soles of his feet appeared under Ji Yan's feet, and Ji Yan only felt that his body was light, and it seemed to float into the air, and the speed was at least twice as fast

"How's it going?

Jonas proudly showed off to Ji Yan

"Hold on!"

Ji Yan grabbed Jonas's magic robe and sped away again

"So fast~So fast~ So fast~~"

............

evening

At the foot of Eagle Mountain

"This is it, climbing this mountain is our sect"

After a day of galloping, Ji Yan finally arrived at the foot of Eagle Mountain

"The truth is on it, let's go!"

Ji Yan took Jonas to climb the mountain where he had lived for more than ten years, and walked countless roads

At the top of the hill is a temple, the red walls of the temple have faded through the vicissitudes and erosion of time, and the name of the temple is not visible on the temple's door plaque

But here, it carries all the memories of Ji Yan

The two of them stood at the entrance of the temple, the door was open, and they could smell the incense burning in the temple

There is no difference between normal homes, anyway, Ji Yan didn't notice any difference

Let's go! I'm going to see who's pretending to be my master!

Ji Yan was the first to step into the threshold, followed by Jonas

The moment he stepped into the temple, Ji Yan sensed that something was wrong

He seemed to have entered another place, his body was weight-bearing, and he sensed the breath of at least two people

This also made Ji Yan more cautious, the person who arranged this enchantment was not simple!

"It's ...... Enchantment?"

Jonas also noticed something strange

"It's not an enchantment, it's a realm!

Ji Yan walked through the screen and walked to the front hall, and sure enough, two people entered Ji Yan's line of sight

One sat on the ground, the other beside him

The people standing had obviously been waiting for Ji Yan and Jonas for a long time

Ji Yan, the person sitting on the ground, recognized it at a glance, even if she changed into a white dress, Ji Yan still recognized it, it was Jiang Ling

She sat on the floor, her eyes closed, her head drooping, and she should have fainted

Ji Yan no longer had the heart to guess why Jiang Ling appeared here

The person on the other side looks very mysterious, his figure is a little slender and thin, not as tall as Ji Yan, shorter, but he is dressed strangely, and his whole body is covered with tight-fitting black clothes, and the contrast with the black clothes is the miserable white mask on his face, the distorted and abstract facial features on the mask make people look very uncomfortable

"This girl is your old look, in that case, everyone is here"

A hoarse voice came, and Ji Yan's ears were pregnant, and Jonas also wondered if there was something wrong with this person's voice

"Why is Jiang Ling in your hands, and my master Wang He?"

Ji Yan was not afraid, and continued to ask the man in black

"Beat me and I'll tell you...... Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey"

The last few laughs had already filled Ji Yan with the desire to kill him

"Enlightenment, Ji Yan!"

The man in black threw Ji Yan a sign, which was the token of the Shadow Assassin, and the word "Shadow" was engraved on the sign

"Shadow Assassin, Ghost!"

"Qimen, Ji Yan!"

The two reported their names and confronted each other

In the next second, the ghost disappeared, and just like that, out of thin air, it disappeared in place, and even Ji Yan couldn't see it clearly

"Smack~"

Jonas in the back went straight to the ground

The ghost figure stood beside the fallen Jonas with his hands behind his back

"I don't want people to bother me...... Show me the legendary Strange Gate Technique."

There was more excitement in the hoarse voice

"I will!"

After Ji Yan finished speaking, he stepped out with his left foot, and a gossip array appeared on the ground

Qian, Kun, Xun, Zhen, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui

The eight characters appeared at the foot of Ji Yan

"Your Qimen has something in common with my shadow arts"

The ghost figure observes Ji Yan with his hands behind his back

"Then let's see, is your shadow art great or my Qimen is powerful!"

Ji Yan said and typed out a handprint

"Genjutsu!"

The originally hard ground began to change, becoming soft, like damp mud, slowly turning into a pool of mud, and the ghost's body began to sink and be swallowed into this mud pool

Ji Yan was not affected, stepping on the mud pond and looking at the ghost

The ghost remained unmoved, allowing itself to sink slowly until it was completely engulfed by the earth

A strange scene appeared, but the engulfed ghost figure broke through the soil from the other side of the mud pond, and there was not a trace of dirt on its body

"That's it?"

As the ghost spoke, its body began to blur, and finally an identical ghost figure was peeled off the ghost's body, and the two ghosts peeled off again, transforming into four more ......

When a full thirty-two ghosts surrounded Ji Yan, the ghosts understood the attack

"Forbidden Technique! Shadow-Clone!"

Thirty-two ghosts rushed forward, each with an extra dagger in their hands, revealing their edge

"Gen!

Ji Yan made two handprints, and the soil under his feet changed instantly, quickly condensing into stone walls, blocking the ghost's attack while shooting out from under his feet one after another to attack the ghost

Ji Yan is also constantly changing his position, after all, thirty-two to one is still very tricky

"Kan!"

Gen, Kun is soil, Kan is water, and a drop of water began to be pumped out of the mud pond on the ground, more and more, and the damp soil also returned to its original state, and the water in the air was controlled by Ji Yan

The ghost's attacks were frequent, and each knife went straight to the heart, and Ji Yan, who could only defend in a circle, began to attack after using Kan

The water is divided into several parts the size of a fist, some are responsible for blocking the attack, and the other part is directly smashed into the ghost, even if the ghost is fast, but the water ball is not weak, and hitting the ghost can also make the ghost take a few steps back

The ghost shadow secretly cursed a few words, not to mention these annoying stone walls, these water are very disgusting, and his dagger stabbed it softly, and he couldn't make a trace of strength, this is a trick of four or two thousand catties

"Close!"

The ghost stopped, and the thirty-two doppelgangers fused into eighteen, then nine again, then three, and finally all merged into the ghost's body

"Your Strange Technique is Wonderful"

The ghost patted the dirt off his sleeve

"Unleash your strongest skill, or you won't be able to beat me!"

Ji Yan frowned

"Shadow!

The ghost disappeared again, not even a breath left

Ji Yan began to look around, not knowing where the ghost would appear from

"Kill!"

Suddenly, a ghost figure appeared in front of Ji Yan's eyes, but this time the figure was a little transparent, giving people an ethereal feeling

Ji Yan noticed all this and quickly blocked it with the earth wall, but Ji Yan never thought that the ghost shadow would directly pass through the wide and thick earth wall and rush straight over, and the earth wall was not destroyed, so it passed through like that

"Impossible!"

Ji Yan was punched in the chest by the ghost, but Ji Yan didn't feel the pain, but flew backwards

At this time, Ji Yan saw a back, black clothes and gray pants......

"That's ...... That's me!"

Ji Yan stopped flying backwards, and saw that he fell straight to the ground, while he was still standing in place

"What is this?"

Ji Yan panicked and looked at his body, which was exactly the same as the ghost's shadow, a little ethereal and transparent

"Welcome to My World"

The ghost appeared in front of Ji Yan

"I ...... What's wrong with me?"

Ji Yan asked viciously

"Nothing~"

The ghost took his hand behind his back

"It's just out of your body"

The ghost and the monster said in a strange voice, and Ji Yan was even more angry when he heard it

"Qian, Kun, Xun, Zhen, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui!"

Ji Yan can't bear this

Eight handprints were quickly made, but nothing happened, and even the gossip map under his feet disappeared

"Ah~ witchcraft!"

Ji Yan was a little angry

Clenched his fist like a ghost in the face

The fist went through the ghost's face and slammed into the air

"Hmm~"

Ji Yan let out a muffled snort

A dagger had already entered Ji Yan's abdomen, the ghost figure rotated the dagger, and with Ji Yan's distorted expression, the dagger was pulled out again, Ji Yan's abdomen did not appear wounded, but the pain was extremely stimulating

"How's it going? Pain from the soul?"

The ghost laughed hahahaha after speaking, and that laughter made Ji Yan even more painful

Blood flowed out and spread from under the fallen "Ji Yan".

Ji Yan knelt on the ground in pain while holding his abdomen

The ghost walked over, squatted down beside Ji Yan, and picked Ji Yan's chin with a dagger

"Gave up so quickly?

"I ...... I ......"

The dagger stabbed into Ji Yan's thigh again

"Ah~"

Ji Yan let out a painful sound, still staring at the miserable white mask on the ghost's face

"Don't force me to ......"

Ji Yan struggled to squeeze out a few words

"Your Qimen's head is very valuable, I will accept your life"

The ghost raised his hand and prepared to finish Ji Yan with a single sword

"Bing!"

Ji Yan read the word tremblingly

The light flickered, and the sound surrounding Ji Yan generated a huge power, forcing the ghost to quickly retreat away from Ji Yan

As soon as this golden aura appeared, the ghost shadow was still uncomfortable

Ji Yan staggered to his feet

"Why, every time the nine-character duel appears, it brings misfortune ......"

Ji Yan drooped his head

"Soldiers, Soldiers, Fights............ Break!"

Every time he pronounced a duel, the golden light on Ji Yan's body was dazzling, and four big golden characters also appeared in front of Ji Yan, and the four characters were superimposed, with the last sound of "break"

A beam of golden light shot out from Ji Yan's chest, hitting the four characters in front of him, and shattering the four characters, aiming at the ghost

"Forbidden-Mystery!

The ghost unleashed ten layers of dark gray shields to enclose itself against the golden light

When the golden light touched the shield, it shattered the four layers of shield, and the ghost in the shield also shook its body and spit out a mouthful of blood

The beam had no intention of stopping, and continued to impact the shield

At this point, the ghost's shield had been shattered to the sixth

There was no chance to react to the ghost, and he knew that if the shield shattered and he was hit by this golden beam, he would definitely die

"Shadow Forbidden-Forbidden Spell-Blood Technique"

The ghost in the shield pulled out his dagger and plunged it directly into his heart

The ghost's body swelled instantly, and his tight clothes shattered, revealing his gray rocky muscles

This is the last card of the ghost, strengthening itself at the cost of life

The ninth layer of shield shatters

10th Floor......

The last layer of shield was broken, and the ghost cast the spell again

"Blood Shadow Shield!"

A blood-red barrier separated the golden light that was about to hit the ghost, and this time the shield was much stronger than the previous shield, but it was still very difficult to resist Ji Yan's golden light

The ghost spurted out a mouthful of blood again, and green blood flowed from under the white mask on his face

"Ha ~~~~~"

Ji Yan roared loudly

The golden light on his chest was more dazzling, and the beam was wider

"No ............"

The ghost roared hoarsely before it was engulfed in gold

"Jump~............"

The light from the top of the Eagle Mountain shot straight into the sky, into the rain and mist, and the dark sky was also illuminated by this golden light

"It's ............ Nine...... Nine-character ......"

The ghost figure fell to the ground, his body was in tatters, the mask on his face was gone, and the ghost's appearance was extremely ugly

There is no trace of life in the gray-black skin, hooked nose, thin eyes, sparse eyebrows, deeply sunken eye sockets, and some deformed face shape, no wonder you wear a mask, you don't have to do it, your opponents are disgusted

With the death of the ghost, the barrier also disappeared, and the heaviness on the body disappeared in an instant

Ji Yan also returned to himself, and his abdomen and legs had returned to normal except for some soreness

This is the nine-character formula, the number one martial art, nine words, and the ability of every word will be improved until the last word

Of course, the master Wang He can only use eight characters at most

Ji Yan was fortunate to see his master go all out, and he will never forget that scene for the rest of his life

Heaven and earth change color and fall in an instant

Looking around, the originally beautiful small temple has been destroyed beyond recognition, the walls of the temple have all collapsed, and although the earthen house has not changed much, the door is gone

The ground was full of potholes, blood was everywhere, the leaves of the flowers and trees planted by the walls had disappeared, and the whole temple was in shambles

Fortunately, Ji Yan protected Jiang Ling and Jonas at the last moment, otherwise the two would be very dangerous

Ji Yan stepped forward to check Jonas's condition, and after checking Jonas's pulse, there was no big problem, but he fainted after being hit by a ghost on the acupuncture point

Then came Jiang Ling on the side

Jiang Ling was not so lucky, Jiang Ling's body had traces of fighting, messy long hair, bruised corners of his mouth, white clothes were also full of wrinkles and dust, and there were cuts that had been cut

Ji Yan didn't think much about it, and directly untied the tie on Jiang Ling's waist, and took off Jiang Ling's clothes, leaving only a white chest

Jiang Ling had many wounds on his body, mainly on his back and shoulders, and some on his arms

Although the wound was not deep, a lot of blood was shed, and the bright red blood stains were shocking compared to Jiang Ling's fair skin

Ji Yan picked up Jiang Ling and walked to the side courtyard, which was less affected by the fight just now, and it was also where Ji Yan usually lived

After Ji Yan arrived at the side courtyard, he walked straight to the ear room, kicked open the door of his room, and gently put Jiang Ling on the bed

Then he carried Jonas back 2, and since there was only one bed in the room, Ji Yan had to put Jonas in a small firewood room on the side

Ji Yan lit the lantern and went to the pharmacy to look for medicine

Ji Yan is also very familiar with this large wall of herbs, and his master will teach him the efficacy of various herbs and the methods of planting and picking in his spare time

Ji Yan quickly ground the herbs, decocted them, and after a while, he mixed a lot of external and internal medicines

With a pile of bottles and cans, he continued back to the earroom

Ji Yan did not heal Jiang Ling's injuries, but sat down at the foot of the bed to meditate to recover his strength and spirit

The blow just now can be said to have exhausted Ji Yan, and with the enchantment of that ghost, almost all of Ji Yan's abilities have been reduced by about thirty percent

Although there is no danger, Ji Yan exposed the nine-character formula, and if you don't use the nine-character formula, it is almost impossible to deal with the ghost without Jonas

But after half a moment, Ji Yan ended his meditation and checked his body, and his physical state recovered about thirty percent, which was enough

Now, it's time to heal Jiang Ling's injuries
