Chapter 41: Out of Body Experience

When Natsu struggled in vain in the dead and warm darkness, she didn't know that the reason why she wasn't completely consumed by death was because there was someone who had been desperately trying to pull her back and wouldn't let her leave this world.

The moment she closed her eyes, a person who had been invisible appeared and set up an enchantment around the stream, blocking out any prying eyes from outside, and then the invisible man stretched out two strong hands to the bottom of the water, grabbed her shoulders and scooped her out of the water, and held her in his arms!

She's so cold! It's like a piece of ice!

Ruan Zhan, who arrived in time, thought that the fear of losing her attacked him again! He could endure everything, but he couldn't bear it. The clothed ghost applied the cold poison formed by being trapped underwater for many years on Xiao Xia's body, so she waited quietly to be drowned, unable to struggle or call for help. If he is one step later, they will separate the yin and yang in the future, and even if the immortals come at that time, there is no way, but fortunately, there is still a chance now!

Looking at the Yang Qi that was gradually dissipating above Xiao Xia's head, he immediately bit his middle finger and drew a spell on Xiao Xia's brow, pulling her soul and not letting her leave, and then carried her to the shore and began to rescue!

Massaging her heart that was no longer beating, doing artificial respiration on her lips without the slightest heat, and entering the top of her head with spiritual power, Ruan Zhan used all his spells and medical knowledge to save Xiao Xia's life, saying nothing and refusing to give up, until she finally vomited several mouthfuls of water from her chest, coughed violently and began to breathe normally again, and then hugged her back into her arms!

"I thought you couldn't find me!" Xiao Xia choked up, hot tears sliding down her cold face.

When she was absorbed by the huge suction force and dragged in one direction, she was indescribably afraid, she didn't know where she would be dragged to, for fear that what was waiting for her on the dark side was the slavery that she could not get rid of, but fortunately, behind the dazzling light was Ruan Zhan's warm embrace, so that she was suddenly rescued from despair!

"Even if you go to heaven and earth, I can find you." Ruan Zhan stroked Xiao Xia's wet hair.

"I've always been afraid that I'll make the wrong mark."

"You're doing a great job, it's my fault, I'm sorry." Ruan Zhan restrained his desire to hold Xiao Xia and let go of her, who had gradually become warmer, full of guilt.

In fact, Xiao Xia was intimidated by the white-handed ghost driven by the people behind the scenes in the octagonal building, and after he used water basin witchcraft to force marriage, he hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to tell Ruan Zhan the whole thing.

Because she trusted him and knew that he would bring her miracles, she decided not to hide anything from him, and to discuss the two of them how difficult things were, and not to listen to the woman in the water!

It's just that she didn't know if she was being watched, and she didn't dare to tell Ruan Zhan what had happened, so she insisted on hurrying to find Ruan Zhan, the stranger in the jungle, to stay with her for a while, and to take his hand and sit very close to each other.

In fact, she took this opportunity to write in the palm of his hand: If there is an emergency, you have to say it secretly!

Ruan Zhan immediately understood what Xiao Xia meant, so he quietly used a trick first, so that if there was anything to spy on them, he would see that they continued to sit on the edge of the bed holding hands and whispering. And the real ones, under the cover of Ruan Zhan's stealth method, ran to the second floor to study the whole thing.

In the end, at Xiao Xia's insistence, they formulated the strategy of 'praying mantis catches cicadas, and yellow finches follow'. If Ruan Zhan couldn't find that jungle monster before midnight and couldn't solve the Gu of thousands of miles, they would have to go deep behind enemy lines! Natsu was very eager not to use this plan, but in the end she had to do so.

According to what they had discussed in advance, Xiao Xia pretended to hide from Ruan Zhan to be the bride, that is, the little cicada, while Ruan Zhan secretly hid in a secret place, waiting for the person behind the curtain to appear and catch him, or force him to solve the Gu for thousands of miles, or directly kill him to solve the Gu!

It's just that that person is not a simple person, judging from the current situation, it can be said that he is a top master of using Gu to make witches, so in order to be careful not to be discovered by him, Ruan Zhan has to stay away from Xiao Xia.

In addition to placing those special dowries, self-defense charms, the waist bag on Xiao Xia's body is also full of fine sand in the side pocket on the outside. These sands were mixed with Ruan Zhan's special talisman ash, and every time he walked, Xiao Xia took advantage of the unpreparedness of others to dust off a little and put it on the ground, leaving a mark for Ruan Zhan.

This is similar to the original method of 'Yang Muyou' casting the flying crane to track Xiao Xia, but it is not so demonic, and it does not need human blood, as long as a special material is used as raw material, draw a special charm, and then burn half of it into paper ash mixed in the fine sand, and put it on the body of the person to be tracked, and the other half of the paper with the charm is folded into a bird by the person who drew the charm, and then cast a spell to let it fly into the air, then the paper bird will follow the place where the fine sand leaks, automatically track it up, and find the person you are looking for!

It's just that they didn't expect that there would be such an activity as 'finding a bride' in the wedding ceremony of an unknown nationality, but because Xiao Xia had to avoid the attacks of those ghosts who didn't know where they came from and died for what reason, they ran around in the trees, and accidentally spilled some fine sand, so that all the clues she left were disrupted here!

However, Ruan Zhan had only just mastered this kind of bird tracking technique, and he was not proficient in using it, so under the combination of these various conditions, Ruan Zhan was one step late, and almost let Xiao Xia die in Huangquan!

Or Xiao Xia has already walked on Huangquan Road, but was pulled back by Ruan Zhan Shengsheng!

"No, it's my fault." Xiao Xia hurriedly said, knowing in her heart that Ruan Zhan's tardiness was caused by the confusion of the information received by Asuka, and no one was to blame, it was just an accident. She has been relying on herself in the face of death and danger, and she didn't dare to expect Ruan Zhan to save her, and even despaired in the end, just because she felt that he couldn't catch up!

But he came, then everything would be fine!

"But what are we going to do next?" Xiao Xia asked, "The ghost in the cloth has gone to ventilate and report the news, and he will be back soon!" ”

Ruan Zhan hesitated for a moment and did not speak.

Xiao Xia understood that this must be related to herself, and it must be a bit dangerous, so Ruan Zhan was embarrassed, and he had been reluctant to let her get involved in such incidents. For this, she felt both heartwarming and angry. The heartwarming thing is: he is worried about her safety, and he is bent on protecting her safety, making her very sweet and secure; The thing that is angry is that she has repeatedly said that she is not a burden to them, she is their partner, although she is a woman with no mana and no yang energy, she can also contribute!

"I know you don't want me to be in danger." Xiao Xia turned Ruan Zhan's face and asked him to look at himself, "But as far as the current situation is concerned, we have to take any risks." ”

"In that case, you'll be - it's going to be very uncomfortable!" Ruan Zhan looked down at Xiao Xia's unusually pale face because of the cold poison, and couldn't bear to let her do something like that.

"I don't matter, what matters now is Wanli."

"But—"

"Say what you want me to do, we don't have time to hesitate!" Xiao Xia looked anxiously at Ruan Zhan's eyes, her sincerity and the current unavoidable situation finally made Ruan Zhan make up her mind.

Yes, the most important thing is to save thousands of miles at the moment! He didn't have time to think of anything else, there were less than two hours to live in thousands of miles!

"What you're going to do is - out of the body!" He couldn't help but touch her face, only to feel that it was still very cold, and the thought that her body would be lowered into the water in a moment made his heart clench.

"Okay, let's get out!"

Out, right? How can it be that simple!

Ruan Zhan glanced at Xiao Xia, suppressed the weakness and anxiety in his heart, and thought about how to be safer and make her less painful. It's not so easy for a living person to get out of the body!

If he guessed correctly, the people behind the scenes wanted Xiao Xia to be the next Demolique, so that he could control her forever. So he wants to do everything possible to kill Xiao Xia, and make such a ritual, just wait for the soul of the newly deceased to leave, and then come to the ghost Gu. Assuming that the person behind the scenes is Huang Boheng, then is he a human or a ghost? If it was a human, he would be too perverted, if it was a ghost, why could he live normally like a real human, and why didn't he find anything abnormal about Huang Boheng? Also, why does this surnamed Huang have to choose Xiao Xia? Is Konatsu unlucky, or is there some special reason?

"Hurry up, okay? They're coming! Xiao Xia saw Ruan Zhan bow his head and think, and couldn't help urging.

Ruan Zhan didn't speak, looked at Xiao Xia for a few more seconds, and then pulled her to the stream and helped her wash the blood charm on her forehead that fixed her soul.

"It's going to hurt a little, you have to be patient!" "Now—pull the collar a little wider, and I'm going to draw a little bit of a talisman under your throat, so that if anything goes wrong, you won't fall for his trick." ”

Xiao Xia listened carefully to Ruan Zhan's words, because her mind was too focused, she didn't realize what it meant to pull open her collar a little at first, and she reached out to untie her clothes, but when the coolness of the night breeze blew into her neckline, she realized how ambiguous their situation was at the moment.

"Is that - is that okay?" She casually found a sentence to say, and then she didn't dare to look directly at Ruan Zhan again, although her hand was still pulling on the collar, her eyes were aimed elsewhere.

Ruan Zhan looked at the white and tender skin in front of him, the looming cleavage, and was in a trance for a moment, almost forgetting what he was going to do. But then he realized his gaffe, and hurriedly touched his nose to make sure that there was no nosebleed, and then he made up his mind and walked over.

Xiao Xia only felt his slightly cool fingers lightly scratching his warm skin, and did not dare to look back at him, only hoping that this torture would end soon, but when she was about to lose her patience, she felt that she was being wrapped in his arms.

This was the scene she had dreamed of, which made her heart beat wildly, but then she thought that now was not the time to fall in love, so she wanted to break free and say something, and felt that the back of her ears was tickled, and then she realized that he was not hugging her on purpose, but just holding her to draw charms. It's just that the place where the charm is drawn and the method used today are a bit special, which makes her reverie.

"Would you like to bring some pen and paper next time?" Xiao Xia was afraid of embarrassment, so she hurriedly found a topic after Ruan Zhan gently covered her collar, "Every time I draw a talisman, I cut my own blood, and sooner or later I will lose too much blood." ”

"Blood spells work better." Ruan Zhan looked around for a while, making sure that there was no bad aura around him, and then looked at Xiao Xia's eyes steadily, "I can't bear to have any mistakes from you!" ”

Hearing the meaning of his words so gently, Xiao Xia's heart beat faster again, and just when he didn't know what to do, Ruan Zhan suddenly made a silent posture, listened carefully, and then said, "Now we're going to get your soul out of the body right away, they're coming!" ”
