Chapter 726: I can't help myself

Who would have thought that Lao Ruan would have turned into a stuffy gourd, no matter how you ask, he just sat there sullenly.

Now the most anxious person is He Wenqin, he repeatedly asked Lao Ruan what was going on, Lao Ruan neither answered, nor dared to look at him, kept his head down, as if no matter what others said, it couldn't get into his ears, once He Wenqin was in a hurry, directly broke Lao Ruan's chin, forced Lao Ruan to look at him, Lao Ruan's whole face was exposed, he was guilty on his face at that time, but more helpless.

Looking at Lao Ruan's appearance, I feel that there may be something hidden here.

He Wenqin asked for a long time and didn't ask anything, so anxious that his whole face turned red. Granny Gu stood aside and looked at Lao Ruan, also frowning.

I have heard Lao Jiang say before that many Gu things in Miao Jiang can mess with people's minds, and even control people in Gu, as for whether there is such a thing, I don't have the opportunity to verify it personally, but since Lao Jiang said so, it is true.

So I don't understand why Granny Gu didn't use the heart-controlling Gu on Lao Ruan from beginning to end. Is it because similar Gu worms don't work for people with cultivation? Or is it because the yellow dragon that Gu Granny planted on Lao Ruan early in the morning is too poisonous, and other Gu can't get into it?

Just as I was thinking about it, Granny Gu glanced at me.

I probably guessed why Granny Gu suddenly looked at me, so I took out the cigarette case and walked to Lao Ruan's side with a smile: "Do you smoke?" ”

Lao Ruan lowered his head and did not respond.

I didn't care if he smoked or not, so I lit two, one in my mouth and one in his mouth.

Lao Ruan did not smell of smoke on his body, but after he picked up the cigarette, his smoking technique was very sophisticated, he still did not speak, just lowered his head and muffled the smoke cloud, and the gray-white smoke floated up his cheeks and hair, making him look even more dull.

I sat next to him and spat out the clouds, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Lao Ruan, you have to understand your situation, now that you have fallen into our hands, it is useless for you to hold some words in your heart, there are so many of us, and we can't pry open your mouth?" ”

Lao Ruan still refused to cooperate.

I took out the bone press knife and handed it to his face: "This bone press knife was not handed down by your master, right?" If I hadn't looked away, it would have been no more than ten years since this thing was refined. ”

Lao Ruan finally reacted a little, he tilted his head, glanced at the bone press, and then lowered his head again.

He Wenqin saw that he was stunned again, and he was anxious on the spot: "You are talking!" ”

I also chimed in: "Lao Ruan, it's not a solution for you to be so bored all the time, if you really have a hard time, just say it, and if there is any problem, let's find a way to solve it together." ”

I don't know if it was my words that played a role, or because He Wenqin's words played a role, Lao Ruan finally said sullenly: "Ah Zai has an accident." ”

Hearing this, He Wenqin also looked panicked: "What's wrong with Ah Zai?" ”

Lao Ruan started smoking again and didn't reply for a long time.

He Wenqin saw that he was going to be angry again, after all, he was old, and he was so anxious that he was afraid that his body would not be able to bear it.

In order to ease He Wenqin's emotions, I asked: "Who is Ah Zai?" ”

He Wenqin said that Ah Tsai is Lao Ruan's nephew and Lao Ruan's only relative. Ah Tsai has been more miserable since he was a child, his parents left early, and Lao Ruan single-handedly brought him up. In March of the year before last, Ah Tsai had just started a family, and only had a child at the end of last year, his wife was a deaf and mute, no job, and the family was all supported by Ah Tsai.

After a long time, Lao Ruan threw away the cigarette butt, raised his face and said, "If I don't lead the way for those people, Ah Tsai's family will ...... I'm going to die! ”

From Lao Ruan's tone, I heard a deep helplessness.

I took another cigarette and handed it to Lao Ruan, who held it in his hand, but did not light the fire for a long time. He Wenqin looked at Lao Ruan in a daze.

In fact, I also understand why Lao Ruan is helpless, between friends and relatives, he can only choose one, and the other will be betrayed. It's really a dilemma, and if it were me, I probably wouldn't know how to choose.

The silence in the tent lasted for a long time, and Lao Ruan told us that just the day before we left for the rainforest, he learned that Ah Tsai's family had been detained, and that two people came to find him, one of them was Zhu Kun, a very powerful ghost cultivator, and the other could not see the cultivator, and did not know his real name. Zhu Kun warned him that if he refused to reveal our whereabouts, he would kill Ah Zai's family.

At that time, Lao Ruan kept an eye on it, and did not tell these two people the specific location of the Wumu Kaishan Bureau, he was also very conflicted in his heart, and he was worried that something would happen to Ah Zai's family, and he didn't want to betray us, so he had been a little lucky, hoping that things could take a turn for the better. But from the moment he entered the rainforest, Lao Ruan knew that there was no play at all, and there was no other choice than to cooperate with those two people.

Listening to Lao Ruan say this, I felt that something was wrong, why didn't I have a choice after entering the rainforest?

He Wenqin was anxious, and he didn't think about it so much, so he grabbed Lao Ruan's hand: "Let's go back to the city first and rescue Ah Zai's family." ”

Lao Ruan shook his head sullenly: "No, you can't go out." ”

He Wenqin was even more anxious: "You don't have to worry about family luck, he has great ability, he must have a way to protect himself, it is only a matter of time before we find him, it is important to save Ah Zai first!" ”

When he said this, He Wenqin's tone was a little uncertain, and he probably couldn't confirm whether He Jiayun was still alive.

Lao Ruan sighed, then pushed He Wenqin's hand away and lifted his shirt.

When I walked in the forest with Lao Ruan on my back before, I felt as if there was something on his chest, and I didn't think much about it at the time, but now he lifted up his clothes, and I saw a blood-red tumor pressed on his left chest, the shape was very similar to the heart, it was covered with blood vessels, and some hard hooks grew at the bottom of the tumor, which were directly embedded in Lao Ruan's flesh.

"This is the tumor that Zhu Kun planted on my body, and it has been alive since the moment it entered the rainforest," Lao Ruan showed us the tumor on his chest, with deep helplessness in his tone: "Zhu Kun said that this thing can only live in the forest, once I leave the forest, it will die, and then Zhu Kun will feel it." ”

Granny Gu walked up to Lao Ruan, took a closer look at the tumor on his body, and then frowned.

Gu Granny said that this thing is a ** poison sac, after surviving, it will continue to sprinkle poison powder to the outside, although the toxicity is very weak, almost unfelt, but each poison powder has the vitality of the poison sac. Now don't say that Lao Ruan can't leave the rainforest, even if anyone in the team goes out, it will lead to the death of the poison sac.

I asked Granny Gu, "Is there a way to crack it?" ”

"The structure of this poison sac is very special," Granny Gu shook her head, "Only those who cultivate it control it. If not, what to do next, you have an idea. ”

I first nodded, and then took out the bone press knife and asked Lao Ruan, "What's going on with this bone press knife?" ”

Lao Ruan sighed and said: "This is the benefit that Zhu Kun gave me, he said that when this time is over, he will pull me to join their sect, and at that time, I want as many things as I want." What did Zhu Kun say when he handed it over to me, this thing is an ancient artifact that has been raised in their vein for hundreds of years, and there is only such a thing in the world. I really didn't expect that I was held in the palm of his hand, and he even used this kind of fake to deceive me. ”

"Did Zhu Kun tell you what the sect he is in is called?"

"He didn't say it."

I clasped my hands and pondered, thinking to myself, Zhu Kun is a person who is not Zhou Mountain, with my understanding of Buzhou Mountain, only they can do such a tasteless thing. Since everyone can't leave the rainforest now, then they can only plan and fight an ambush battle on the way, and control the stalkers first, although we don't know what means these stalkers have, but with the master of the white old dog, I also know more about the means of the mountain, and the chance of winning the ambush should be very large.

Thinking of this, I got out of the tent and wanted to ask the white old dog's opinion.

The old white dog is really still making a temperament, I ran to his tent to call the door, he refused to pay attention to me, and then it was the ancient mother-in-law who forcibly opened the curtain and pulled the white old dog out.

He Wenqin and I talked about what happened to Lao Ruan, and unexpectedly, Bai Laogou actually knew Zhu Kun, listen to what he meant, Zhu Kun was a very famous ghost cultivator in the Nanling area when he was young, and ten years ago he damaged his cultivation because he forcibly broke the barrier, and now Zhu Kun's cultivation should not be as good as Lao Ruan. With Zhu Kun's ability, it is unlikely that he will easily subdue Lao Ruan, so Bai Laogou suspects that the people who follow Zhu Kun are good at it.

In addition, Lao Ruan also said that he couldn't see what that person's cultivation was, this was a manifestation of the large gap between the two people's cultivation, and it was conservatively estimated that that person's cultivation strength was at least at the same level as Bai Laogou. It's just that it's not certain whether he also entered the woods.

He Wenqin felt that the risk of the ambush was too great, so he suggested a detour, first to detour the people who were following us, starve them for seven days or eight days, and wait until their physical strength was almost exhausted before making a move.

I said that the rainforest is no better than dry land, there is no shortage of anything, especially food, and there is little point in taking a detour, so let's go along the original route. When I was checking Feng Shui on a helicopter before, I noticed that there was a depression not far from the Wumu Kaishan Bureau, and the environment of that place was relatively special, especially suitable for ambushes, and even if the raid failed, it was convenient to retreat.

After listening to me and He Wenqin discuss for a long time, Bai Laogou suddenly smiled: "But after thinking about it so much, even if the other party is a master, we are not afraid, don't forget, we still have the ghost gate and the Lethe River water here!" ”

With his words, the plan was finally decided: continue to move forward, and on the way, let Lao Ruan leave a secret signal for the trackers and lead them into the ambush point.

Considering that the stalker may have already gone ahead of us, we cannot afford to delay any longer, and must be removed immediately.
