Chapter 19: Paper Fish

A ball of fire flew out from Ruan Zhan's palm.

His fire mudra this time was more violent than any previous one, and instead of going straight out, he rushed forward in a vertical and upright way.

As soon as the fire came out, Xiao Xia heard screams everywhere, and the fog around them receded like a tide, and from their position, they could see the whole square at a glance, and they could also see that the fireball hit a tree on the edge of the square with incomparable heat, causing the tree to burn instantly.

"Ah, the square is ahead! Let's go! Liu Hong shouted in surprise and joy as she pushed forward the reporter. Reporter Ma was defenseless and bumped into Xiao Xia's back. But Xiao Xia was tense all over her body from the first time Liu Hong shouted, so she desperately resisted the momentum from reporter Ma and didn't hit Ruan Zhan.

Others didn't see it, but her hands kept on Ruan Zhan's back, and she felt Ruan Zhan's body tremble slightly after she hit that fire handprint. She knew that he had tried too hard to frighten these resentful spirits, and that if there was any external impact at this time, his current weakness would be exposed.

"Zode, if she yells again, throw her out of the group." She said fiercely, hating this selfish, snobbish, insufficient, and ruined woman, and finally understood why people said that an internal destructive factor is more terrible than ten external enemies.

Ruan Zhan didn't speak, he and Xiao Xia had a heart-to-heart connection, and walked towards the square, the speed was faster than before, but it was still steady, like a walk, so that not only would not expose his vain steps, but also appear extraordinarily confident, deterring those resentful spirits from acting rashly.

His spiritual energy was sealed, and now he can only use 'deception' and 'dragging' to maneuver, but he can do this, which also proves that he has indeed broken Sima Nan's water perception technique, so that he can't see the situation in the town, and there is no way to remotely control and command. Now these resentful spirits must have thought that he was very powerful and posed an absolute threat to them, and it was only because they couldn't find a way out for the time being that they were waiting here for reinforcements. So they just surrounded and didn't dare to rush up.

But Zhao Jiayuan's incident gave him a revelation, these resentful spirits are not simple, they know how to plant eyeliner around him, and now there may be other eyes around them watching, so he must be cautious and not reveal a little bit of his own information.

There is also an unfavorable situation - Sima Nan will not just forget it, and will definitely think of other ways to make him passive.

The resentful spirits that had turned into a thick fog followed them unwillingly, and when they reached the square, the fog did not stop, and gradually invaded. It's just the same as Ruan Zhan's judgment, although the fog is also pervasive in the square, it is not so thick, and the visibility is slightly better than on the street, so that a few people sitting around the trees can see other people.

Maybe because of the spiritual power of the fire handprint, the tree was still burning, like a huge torch, although these people sitting with their backs to the tree did not feel the slightest heat, as if there was a cold fire burning behind them, but this flame and the three charms that everyone attached to their bodies successfully stopped the attack of the resentful spirits!

The fog was tumbling violently, like boiling water, and Xiao Xia knew that they were unwilling, and also knew that they would not wait long before they would find a way to attack again. She glanced at Ruan Zhan, and saw that although his expression was calm, his face was still not very good, and she couldn't stop praying that he would get better soon, and at the same time understood that they had escaped another wave of danger, but it was only temporary, and the greater danger was still to come.

Sima Nan sat peacefully on the sofa and watched Hong Hao pack up the woman's set of things with an angry face.

He knew she wasn't happy with where they lived. Ever since he brought her back from Burma, he had always given her the most luxurious life, so even though the inn was already the best in Hongqing Town, she was not satisfied.

He didn't care much about that, he had lived in the worst place in the world, the grave, and for him, material things and pleasures were not so important, all he wanted was that sense of superiority, that he could control everything, that he could despise everything. Including Hong Haohao, it is just his most dazzling decoration, and he never pays attention to it!

And he initially set his eyes on Ruan Zhan just because he was curious that there was such a person in this world, not a fake god stick pretending to be a ghost, but a real alien with natural spiritual power, so he wanted to tease Ruan Zhan, like a well-fed cat teasing a mouse.

However, he was defeated.

The first time was because of carelessness, and this time carelessness caused him to hurt his soul root, so in the next few times, he had to use means to generate that fighting method and fighting wits behind his back. In doing so, he was conflicted. On the one hand, he wanted Ruan Zhan to lose, because he learned that the kid who seemed to be cold was getting stronger and stronger, and he was getting stronger and stronger unconsciously, which made him three points worried; On the other hand, he wants Ruan Zhan to win so that he will be alive and will wait until his injuries are fully recovered, and then defeat him with his own hands!

In his life, he was very clear about what he wanted, and he had never hesitated so much, but in the end, he found that he was afraid of Ruan Zhan, just like a king in the twilight of his life when he saw an aggressive young hero who wanted to oust him from the throne.

Also, Ruan Zhan is that person's child, and he was trained by that person, so he can't tolerate it even more!

But this time, he made up his mind that there was a deeper reason besides Ruan Zhan, and that was the secret in Ah Bai's hands.

In fact, his skills have not fully recovered, and it should be a while before he is most sure, but he pretends to be completely fine, just because he can't wait any longer. After Ah Bai died, he knew that she had an unsolved knot, so his soul was inseparable. So he had to seal her in a dry well and prevent her from coming out, and let her suffer in loneliness year after year, just because he was afraid that the secret would leak out.

That's something he didn't get, and of course it can't fall into the hands of others!

It's just that he didn't expect Ruan Zhan to meet Ah Bai's soul in the mountains and forests, and he didn't expect them to bring her out. Seeing them living together day after day, he was really afraid that Ah Bai would tell that secret. So, he had to do it in a hurry!

"Are you ready?" He was tired of Hong Haohao's seemingly endless tidying up.

"Not yet, the broken cabinet here—"

"I didn't say that." Sima Nan interrupted Hong Haohao's words, "I mean, how are you prepared for the Fa?" ”

Hong Hao saw that his face was gloomy, and hurriedly swallowed the complaining words into his stomach. I've been following him for so many years, and I've already understood his moody personality, and I don't frown when I'm happy to give you the whole world, but the next second it may kill you without blinking.

"It's been ready for a long time."

"Won't it be like the last time I dealt with Wan Li, not only did I not handle him, but also gave him the opportunity to put himself on the offering table, and he couldn't reach out if he wanted to, right?" Sima Nan smiled, but Hong was silent.

"That's—my fault." Hong Haohao wanted to say that his subordinates were incompetent, but he didn't say it after all, "But this time you live next door to Wanli, doesn't it completely cancel out his advantage?" If you are so close, it is not easy to kill him behind people's eyes? ”

"Is it easy? But so many times, it didn't hurt the lives of these two boys! Sima Nan said self-deprecatingly. However, he remembered that Wan Li turned his disadvantage into an advantage after such a big fuss, and he was really ingenious, and he couldn't help but appreciate it. And his generous approach to Wanli's side as an ordinary person makes him restless, and the trick of threatening his life at any time is even more high!

He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, it was almost midnight, and that kid in Wanli was probably sleeping soundly next door, but today his target was not him, but Ruan Zhan in the new town.

That kid looked at Si Svenwen, but the bravery in his bones was really enough for people to drink a pot. But after all, he was still young, thinking that he had broken his water perception technique and set up an enchantment outside Xinzhen that could not be attacked?

Enchantments can seal the sky above an entire town, not even underground, but if it's in a place where there is a waterway leading to the outside world, it can't easily seal the space. Because the water potential is invisible and flowing, if even the water is sealed, it must be a special skill, and no matter how talented Ruan Zhan is, it is impossible to do this now.

When Ruan Zhan broke his enchantment and laid down the enchantment that would burn the jade of the forcible breaker, the anger of being overturned again made him not realize this for a while, but after calming down, he finally thought of this small loophole. And coincidentally, Hongqing Town is short of water, and later it was discovered that there is an underground river under the town, and this river leads from outside the town to the town.

This made it possible for him to cast spells, and while the flow of water might make his spells a little less effective, it was enough for the kid surnamed Nguyen. Although he couldn't see Ruan Zhan's situation, he could guess by guessing that Ruan Zhan must be using the magic power to protect himself and the other survivors, and then buy time to recover the spiritual energy that was sealed by him.

No one knew better than him what kind of spell Ruan Zhan was using, and it was simply wishful thinking for this kid to recover his spiritual energy on his own in a short period of time. Restoring spiritual energy also requires the cooperation of other spiritual powers, if there is no one at all, what can be used to restore it? Mana, spiritual power, and soul restraint power were all sealed by him, where else could Ruan Zhan go?

He couldn't help but feel a little proud when he thought of this, so he didn't waste any more time, and took Hong Hao to take advantage of the darkness to the place outside the new town that connected to the underground river.

He looked up at the sky, and it happened that a dark cloud was obscuring the moon, and the sky was very suitable for the extremely cloudy time at the moment. Seeing this, he immediately seized the opportunity to stand in the predetermined position, took out a strange fish-shaped thing with folded paper and full of charms from the black lacquered wooden plate held by Hong Haohao, and then silently recited the incantation, and at the moment before the dark clouds were about to leave the moon, he bit the tip of his tongue, 'pounced' a little blood on the paper fish in his hand, and threw the fish in the mouth of the well as soon as he raised his hand!

In the dark well, the white paper fish fell to the surface of the water like a bright lamp, fluttered a few times like a real fish, and then turned black all over, turned over and dived into the water, escaped like an arrow, and disappeared in an instant.

"Go ahead! Go ahead! Remove all the spells, so that the resentful spirits will no longer have any obstacles, and there will be no more barriers for those who use the charms as protectors! He said to the mouth of the well, his face turned pale with the dark water!
