Chapter 5 Secrets Chapter 45 Grafting
Chapter 45: Grafting
With a bang, Ruan Zhan did not hit Huang Boheng's side with this fire handprint, but hit it to the ground.
But with just such a slight wave of his hand, the ground was dusty, and even the vegetation that was close to the ground was scorched in an instant, revealing a two-square-meter yellow layer of soil.
As the circular layer of soil was revealed, a circle invisible to the naked eye quickly expanded into the distance along its outer side. I saw that there was a gust of wind blowing on the ground, and everywhere the invisible circle went, all the plants fell to one side, and in the blink of an eye, they reached the edge of the enchantment, stuck to the enchantment wall, and then ignited a majestic flame!
Now, all the participants are in the circle!
Because Ruan Zhan was here, Xiao Xia was not afraid at all, but Huang Boheng screamed, ran a few steps forward, quickly threw off his burning coat, and in a panic, he couldn't care about controlling his 'helper' anymore.
As soon as the ferocious snakes and strange plants lost the control of their magic, they immediately regained their natural nature in the face of the burning wall of fire around them, and fled in terror. No animal or plant is not afraid of a fire that destroys everything, so the scene in the clearing is chaotic for a while, but no one can get out!
Ruan Zhan, who had been standing still, stood there for a few seconds, frowned, and then finally moved, staring at Huang Boheng with his eyes, and strode over.
He walked so domineering and direct, with a fierce and murderous atmosphere, all the way to the handprints, without looking at the hand, in the crisp sound of 'pop', a ball of flames ignited where he waved his hand, burning those poisonous snakes and branches tied with twisted silk threads 'squeak', a huge circle of fire in a scene of demons dancing wildly.
"Don't come here! Don't come here! I'm going to fight with you! ”
Seeing Ruan Zhan getting closer and closer to him, Huang Boheng, who was already like a frightened bird, was frightened by Ruan Zhan's appearance of wanting to eat him alive, and began to run around in the circle. But wherever he ran, Ruan Zhan was rewarded with a fire handprint, squeezing his space for movement smaller and smaller, until finally, he was forced into the corner between two trees.
"It's not fair, I'm not ready!" Huang Boheng was frightened, and touched his body as he spoke. But he forgot that his coat had been taken off when it was burned, and that he could no longer pull out the strange porcelain vases from his bosom.
"You didn't ask me to prepare when you attacked us in the wild shop." Ruan Zhan took another step closer.
Huang Boheng didn't answer, but just shrank back desperately, and suddenly fell backwards through the crack in the tree. As soon as he landed, he crawled away with his hands and feet, but was grabbed by the collar by Ruan Zhan, who arrived in three or two steps.
"Don't make me look down on you!" He threw Huang Boheng at the corner between the two trees again, "I have to kill you, but I don't want to insult you!" ”
"No, don't kill me!"
"It's a pity, since the moment you gave Wanli a death Gu, you have cut off your own way of life."
"As long as you don't kill me, I'll give you as much money as you want. No - I can give you a third of my property! Otherwise, half of it will do! Well, it's all up to you! In desperation, Huang Boheng began to talk about the conditions, "What is the value of a person's life, you have money, friends - there are many people, and women are the same." It's all up to you, take it. Please spare me a way to live! ”
"Don't talk nonsense, I don't have time, and besides, you won't understand this heartless thing." Ruan Zhan said expressionlessly, the distance between him and Huang Boheng was so close that they were almost together. He used his body language to clearly tell Huang Boheng how disdainful and contemptuous he was of this money proposal!
Huang Boheng was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and his eyes were scattered. He was silent for a few seconds, and finally understood that the man in front of him could not be bought and he could not defeat, so he completely died, and a thought of breaking the net was born in his heart.
He had a ghost idea in his heart, his body continued to shrink back, although his face was extremely frightened, but one hand was subconsciously behind his back, and after some groping, he suddenly touched something, which made his insidious heart rise hope.
Fastened to his waist was the blade that looked like an ornament on the outside, but was actually used for felling. Now Ruan Zhan is too close to him, and he is almost sent to the door for him to kill!
"Don't blame me!" Huang Boheng clenched the handle of the knife, shouted, and suddenly swung the cold glistening knife from behind his back, slashing at Ruan Zhan with all his might.
The distance is so close, and he uses so much force, Ruan Zhan should definitely die!
But there was no feeling of slashing at a soft object in his senses, nor the burning sensation of blood spurting onto his face, only that he felt his wrist being grabbed by a hand like iron tongs in mid-air, and a pain that a bone was about to break hit him, making him let out a wail and let go of his hand.
The knife, which has already reached the hands of another person, is his opponent!
"I'm just waiting for you to sacrifice your weapon, kill you with my hands, I'm afraid of dirtying my hands." Ruan Zhan's face was cold, and he put the sharp knife on Huang Boheng's neck and gestured, "I hope you are worthy of my killing!" ”
"What do you mean?" Huang Boheng asked tremblingly. In fact, he couldn't think anymore, but instinctively asked.
Ruan Zhan didn't speak, and waved his hand to slash without hesitation, and his attack was fast, ruthless and accurate. Under the moonlight, I saw a flash of silver light, and then the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground came, and Huang Boheng's head was separated from his body, and he rolled into the grass with a grunt.
Xiao Xia, who was standing in Ruan Zhan's shadow, couldn't see anything, because Ruan Zhan always deliberately faced the moonlight, so that Xiao Xia would always be protected by him.
But although Xiao Xia couldn't see it, Ruan Zhan could see it clearly. I saw that Huang Boheng's severed head rolled in the grass for a while and then stopped, his face was still facing the direction of his body, his eyes were open, and he even blinked, his eyes were full of disbelief and panic.
"You're dead, fall!" Ruan Zhan sighed lightly.
The severed mouth opened twice, and he seemed to be angry, but before he could speak, he 'saw with his own eyes' a headless body in front of Ruan Zhan fall down. He understood that it was himself, no matter how unwilling he was, he was dead, but he still felt that something was wrong.
Is this the passing of life? Why did he feel so strange except for horror and no sadness? As if he's long gone!
He had many questions, questions that he didn't understand until he died, but he didn't have a chance to ask, because he couldn't move anymore, he couldn't think, because he had become a corpse.
Ruan Zhan sighed again, not because of Huang Boheng's death. That should make him happy, because his death means thousands of miles of life. But there is a problem he didn't expect - Huang Boheng is not the real person behind the scenes!
This feeling was felt when he was fighting with Huang Boheng, because although he knew how to use high-end Gu techniques, his rank was obviously too poor, and it was different from the feeling he had in the wild shop that day. That's not something that can be described in words, it's all about the difference in the details of the two sides when it comes to shooting.
The difference is so small that the layman can't even see it, but as soon as they fight, everyone knows it.
This is the reason why Huang Boheng was very scared as soon as he came up, and he was a little uneasy and confused! If it had been someone who was exercising witchcraft in the wild shop to fight him, this scene would never be like this today!
Who is behind the scenes to help Huang Boheng harm them? Why didn't that guy come to help him tonight? Killing people or borrowing a knife to kill people? Was Huang Boheng used as a monkey? Could it be that he is also a puppet, a son of this secret bureau?!
But he kept admitting that the death Gu on Wanli's body was from him, and he did know all those strange secret techniques, but he was not so strong in terms of skill, what was going on?
Maybe he will go back to see Wanli immediately, if his Gu is solved, it proves that what Huang Boheng said is true; If his Gu hasn't been solved yet, it proves that Huang Boheng has been deceived, he thinks that the death Gu was placed by him, but in fact it is not!
But why did he feel that way? So much so that he didn't know that he was deceived even if he died!
In any case, Ruan Zhan decided to go back and see Wanli first, time was running out, he still had less than an hour to live!
He turned to look and saw that the fire cast by his fire mudra had wiped out the poisonous snakes and demonic plants, leaving only ashes, and the fire circle was in shambles, while Xiao Xia's body was still intact lying on the edge of the stream.
He thought that he should let Xiao Xia's soul return to his body first, a normal person who was in a state of leaving his soul for a long time would hurt his body, but before that, he wanted to burn Huang Boheng's body first.
He made a fire handprint and hit the dead severed head, and then made a second handprint to burn the corpse, but the moment he waved his hand, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, and he forcibly stopped the gesture!
No, Huang Boheng is wrong. He was perfectly normal when he was alive, but after he died, why didn't his soul leave his body?
He was born with yin and yang eyes, and he was extremely pure, and as his abilities were unleashed and deepened, he should be able to see everything that humans should not see. Although he used a spell when he swung his knife to kill Huang Boheng, intending to make him lose his body and mind, but in the end, his subordinates showed mercy, but Huang Boheng's soul was incomplete and he could no longer harm after death, but it did not completely eliminate him.
But why didn't he see a single trace of his three souls and seven spirits?! And when Huang Boheng was killed, his blood was pitiful, and there was no blood gushing, which did not conform to the characteristics of human beings!
He was anxious because of Wanli's affairs, and he didn't notice it for a while, but at the moment when he was about to burn Huang Boheng's body, he suddenly realized many problems.
He paused, then resolutely walked in front of the corpse, picked up the murder knife with a trace of blood, and directly cut open Huang Boheng's chest!
Empty, Huang Boheng's chest turned out to be empty. Clean, smooth and clear, like a mummy's corpse, not the corpse of the man who had seduced him with money a minute ago.
It's just that at the heart of the heart, there is a fist-sized ball beating, like a heart, beating in a headless corpse!
The ball had a pale yellow skin, very thin, so thin that it felt like it would break at the touch, so thin that you could see from the outside that something was squirming inside, and it was because of the beating at first glance.
It is already very strange that the body of a human being is empty in the chest, and it is impossible to imagine how he lives, eats, drinks, and thinks normally, but the monster among the monsters is this ball, which seems too strange!
Ruan Zhan groaned for a moment, aimed at the moonlight, guarded Xiao Xia behind him, and then slashed at the ball with his knife.
He doesn't always go to the gym like Wanli, but he still has a lot of strength, but this merciless knife didn't even split the ball that seemed to be extremely fragile. He gritted his teeth and slashed again, but it still didn't open, until he slashed a third time, and the ball suddenly cracked, making him feel like he was chopping a coconut with a super hard shell.
And in that cracked ball, there were all eyes! It's densely packed with eyeballs!
One next to the other, some with the whites of their eyes in front, and I with the pupils in front, squeezing and rubbing, scrambling to rush to the front row, looking like bubbles bubbling out of a pot of boiling water, the wriggling of the outer skin of the ball is precisely because of this.
If Xiao Xia saw this scene, he would definitely be frightened, but Ruan Zhan was not afraid, only a little surprised, and he didn't know what kind of mysterious spell this was. It seems that there are really mountains outside the mountains and people outside the world in this world, there are too many bizarre and incredible things, and his skills are still far behind!
"Demons!" He muttered softly, and knocked the second mudra out, causing the corpse to burn along with the strange orb. He couldn't figure out what it was, but he knew that it would be a disaster to leave this thing behind, so it was better to burn it clean.
The ball was burned by the fire and made a 'pop' sound, and it emitted an indescribable stench and smell of blood. Ruan Zhan frowned, with an unbearable look on his face, retreated three meters away, and threw the knife out with a wave of his hand.
The knife pierced through the black smoke from the corpse and fell heavily to the ground.
Ruan Zhan pretended not to notice a trace of blood-colored things in the ignited black smoke, but only increased the fire, causing these things that were not suitable to remain in the human world to quickly turn into ashes, and then left there quietly. As he walked past the knife, he quietly reached out and withdrew a charm that had long been attached to the hilt.
"Xiao Xia, if you close your eyes, your soul will be uncomfortable, but it won't hurt." Ruan Zhan said, and then cast a spell to unite Xiao Xia's spirit and flesh, "You may not be able to move for a while, but I will take you back." ”
Xiao Xia really can't move, but she can speak, "Is Wanli's Gu solved?" She asked anxiously.
"I don't know. I'm going to go back and see. Ruan Zhan knew that although Xiao Xia didn't see the key situation, he also knew sporadic information, so he didn't hide it from her.
"So what if you can't solve it?"
Ruan Zhan didn't speak for a few seconds, then looked fixedly at Xiao Xia's eyes that were about to burst into tears, and suddenly reached out to touch her face, with a very gentle expression.
"You don't want him dead, do you?" He asked, his eyes close to Natsu, as if to look into the depths of her soul. His exhaled breath blew on Xiao Xia's face, and for a moment, Xiao Xia thought that he was going to kiss her, and his heart was beating at such a tense moment.
"Even if this Gu can't be solved, I have a way to prevent him from dying." Ruan Zhan continued, his palm lingering on Xiao Xia's delicate face again and again, "Your wish will come true, I won't let him die." ”
Looking at his firmness, Xiao Xia believes in him!
……………………
Thousands of miles of Gu, there is no solution!
He was still unconscious, and his breath was getting weaker. Less than half an hour before midnight, he felt as if he was about to reach the end of his life, without a trace of life.
But Xiao Xia believes in Ruan Zhan!
He said he had a way, he said he wouldn't let Wanli die, and she had nothing to worry about about that. Because what he says never counts, and what he says will definitely be done! Therefore, when Ruan Zhan asked her to stay on the second floor for a while, lest she make a noise about him forcibly untying the Gu for Wanli, she agreed without thinking about it.
She was brought back by Ruan Zhan, and she still couldn't move, so she still had Ruan Zhan to hold her and put her on the altar on the second floor. Even though it was only for a short time, she was happy to be able to nestle in his arms for a second longer.
Seeing Ruan Zhan busy arranging the array around her, she suddenly remembered the location of the Bloodwood Sword.
"There's a dark compartment over there." Her arm could still move slightly, so she pointed effortlessly and told Ruan Zhan how to open it, "I'm holding the Bloody Wood Sword, it should be fine." Don't waste your time on me, it's important to save thousands of miles. ”
Ruan Zhan only smiled and did not answer. He took out the bloodwood sword and put it in Xiao Xia's movable hand, but the action of setting up the array charm still did not stop. Xiao Xia felt that he was too careful and didn't think that something would attack at this time. She wanted to urge two sentences, but seeing that Ruan Zhan looked confident, she still endured the words and didn't have much to do.
Ruan Zhan finished all this and stood there looking at Xiao Xia for a while. Although his expression was very calm, no different from usual, there was a trace of indescribable loneliness in his heart.
After all, she won't be his! That's fine!
He looked at her very seriously and wanted to bury her deep in his heart. Then without waiting for Xiao Xia to ask something, he resolutely went upstairs.
Upstairs, Wan Li was lying on the bed, the black qi on his face was already very deep, and began to gather in the Yin Hall. Ruan Zhan stretched out his hand to probe his breath, knowing that what he was going to do next was what he had to do.
He bit his middle finger and drew a talisman on the center of Wanli's eyebrows, then used all his strength to keep him conscious. He was not stingy with his spiritual power and mana, and in just a few minutes, sweat soaked his clothes. However, his efforts were not in vain, because Wanli, who seemed to never wake up, opened his eyes leisurely and let out a long breath.
Ruan Zhan waved his hand to form a small enchantment to prevent his words from being heard by Xiao Xia downstairs.
"You can't speak, I know, but I want you to be sober because I have something to say." Ruan Zhan stood beside Wanli's bed, "Don't look at me with that kind of inquiring look, believe me, you are not dead, but soon, there is still about half an hour." But I said I wouldn't let you die, so even if Lord Yama came to mention you bastard, I wouldn't allow it, because I've always done what I said. ”
He took out a knife, "I used to learn a technique called 'grafting'. It's not about planting flowers and plants, but the principle is a bit similar, which is to take what is in one person and lead it to another. I can't solve this Gu, because this matter is too complicated and the time is too short, and I can't do it. But your life will only last until midnight tonight, so I will use this technique to lure your Gu to me. ”
