Chapter XXIV

"Ah Zhan, I said that the will of heaven is worthy of all people, but I am sorry for you." Uncle Bao said in a painful tone: "But believe me, he doesn't want to do that." He tried many ways to solve this matter before, some of them were very painful, but he still couldn't get rid of these evil qi, and even now he is still trying, just to give you a chance to live. Now he is like a time bomb hidden in his body, and if he becomes a demon because of this, he will hurt all innocent people. He has wanted to help others all his life, how can he bear to hurt others! ”

"Don't talk about it, Uncle Bao." Ruan Zhan held Xiao Xia's hand tightly, "I understand, and I don't blame him, although I can't agree with his way." Maybe I'm too selfish and small, I just want the people I love to be happy. But no matter what I was born for, after all, I am his flesh and blood, so - I love him, then I can do everything for him. It's just—" he turned his head, "Natsu-chan, I'm sorry. ”

"Why do you tell me I'm sorry. I'm here to support you, and I'm going to keep you alive. You are mine, I will lend you to Uncle Ruan for use now. She said it lightly, but Ruan Zhan knew that she was also nervous and flustered, just to reassure herself.

How lucky he was to meet such a woman!

"Let's study what to do, and wait until I help my uncle come back." Wanlidao, who had not spoken: "To strive for the best result in the most unfavorable situation, haven't you always done so?" Besides, let's be optimistic, the outcome is still unknown. ”

"That's right." Bao Datong hurriedly said: "But Dad, what do you think is the chance of your uncle's survival?" ”

"Are you stupid, Datong." Uncle Bao pondered the words, "From common sense, your Uncle Ruan has passed away. Now we only have to save his soul, we just have to find a way to completely free him and save Ah Zhan's life. He embarked on this path, knowing that he could not turn back, but I believe that he would rather pay any price than become an evil doer, and Ah Zhan is his only blood and blood, and the only person he owes and wants to protect the most. "Everyone was silent, it turned out that everything was a foregone conclusion. The miracle they want to create is nothing more than to minimize the damage.

"My father, when I was in high school, couldn't control the evil qi I absorbed, right?" Ruan Zhan asked sullenly.

Uncle Bao nodded, "At that time, the evil qi he absorbed could not be dissolved, and he was about to attack, he was afraid of hurting others, especially you, so he had to fake his death." The coffin was specially made to allow him to keep the situation steady and not deteriorate without all breathing and eating, and he was using this method to survive until the day when you were in trouble. ”

"Then why did you engrave the symbol in the flesh? So what's the use of crystal knives? ”

"Ah Zhan, you saw that the hallucinations he gave you were red, right? That's because he can't control himself, and he has taken on a demonic appearance. In order to help him temporarily suppress his evil spirit, I will cast a blood charm. But the evil power in him is too powerful, and I can only use myself as a charm. Uncle Bao said slowly: "Sima Nan inadvertently harmed Heaven's will, but there are also a lot of rare treasures left, and the three treasures you inherited from Heaven's will are also collected by Sima Nan, including the crystal knife." Because I was afraid that the aura emitted by the knife would attract your attention when I was a child, God asked me to keep the crystal knife, and later when he faked his death, he notified me to bury the crystal knife with you, so that you can find it later. These days, haven't you noticed that this knife has any effect? ”

Before Ruan Zhan could speak, Xiao Xia raised Ruan Zhan's palm, pointed to a wound on it and said, "This is what the crystal knife cut, although it has long stopped bleeding, but it can't heal." ”

"That's what this crystal knife does." Uncle Bao said, "The crystal is yin, and the purest crystal will not be seen when placed in the water." Not to mention the material of this crystal knife, if there is no reference, it has no form in mid-air, and this crystal knife has also been refined by supreme spells, and it has extraordinary power. If you are injured by this crystal knife, the wounds on your body will never heal, and if you hit the soul body, it will even overturn the yin and the sky, and the broken soul will no longer be able to gather. It is the natural enemy of the soul, just as the Bloodwood Sword is a weapon that uses evil to fight evil, only it is more powerful and tougher than the Bloodwood Sword. ”

"You're saying that you want to use this crystal knife to break up your uncle's soul, so that he can't gather for a second attack, and at the same time dissipate the evil qi?" Bao Datong said recklessly, he was originally asking a question, and everyone understood, but no one wanted to hear the answer.

It's so cruel! He gave birth to a son to deal with himself, and he found a treasure so that he could kill himself! How has this old man faced his heart over the years? What kind of suffering do you bear alone?

"You have to use this knife, but you can think of a good way." Uncle Bao relieved these shocked children.

"Do you have a solution?" Wanli is always the most rational one, and thus raises the crucial question.

Uncle Bao shook his head, "We have thought of all the ways, but none of them worked, so we said that a miracle was needed." The reason why I broke my promise to tell you this is because I want everyone to figure it out together. Now there is still half a month until that day, and hopefully it will not be too late! ”

"Dad, how strong is Uncle Ruan compared to you?" Bao Datong asked.

"He is a Taoist wonder, and he worked very hard when he was young, so his mana is a lot higher than mine." Uncle Bao sighed again, "What's more, those evil qi will also boost his skills, the moment he becomes a demon must be incomparably powerful, otherwise he will not choose to solve this matter when he is the weakest that day and Ah Zhan is the strongest, it is a once-in-a-century opportunity." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Ruan Zhan, "Ah Zhan, you have to remember that becoming a demon is the last thing he wants. I know it's hard for you, but if you don't-don't -- don't fail to do it, it's just going to hurt him! Hurt you! If he had a moment of soberness and knew his fate, that would be the greatest cruelty to him! You, you know? ”

Looking at Uncle Bao's painful eyes, Ruan Zhan wanted to say something, but the word "understand" was choked in his throat and couldn't say it.

"Dad, then you can give me a special training now." Bao Datong opened the topic, "Didn't you say that I was sent out of the mountain just to help Ah Zhan?" Then let me do my best, there is still half a month, I want to practice the Dao technique to the strongest! ”

Uncle Bao looked at his son, reluctant and proud in his heart. This kid is naturally playful, lively, and the Taoism he has learned is forced out by him, and he occasionally takes the initiative, but also for fun or to show off, but he didn't expect to be so sensible and resolute in front of righteousness. Providence owes Ah Zhan, how can he not owe Datong, the two of them are not good fathers! Now looking at his son's serious and unpretentious expression, he suddenly feels that he is very lucky, at least he has a chance to make up for it, and when this matter is over, he must be a kind father. But what about providence? He didn't stand a chance! Why is he wholeheartedly good, but the way of heaven doesn't give him a way to go?!

"Special training? You're not going to complain about it again, are you? Uncle Bao smiled. What if Datong doesn't have a natural conscience, with such a heart, he can also grow into a great Taoist disciple, and he can also kill demons!

"This -- the bitterness is certain." Bao Datong scratched his head, "But you can force me, I think I can bear it." ”

"What am I going to do?" Wanli asked. He has no ability and no Taoism, and the newly learned fire mudra is simply useless, but he knows that he has a special physique, and he still has the level to make a prop.

"It depends on how it is arranged in the end." Uncle Bao looked at the silent Ruan Zhan, "This time we all listen to Ah Zhan's command. I haven't run in vain over the years, and I've collected some reclusive Taoist master's house charms, and I think that at least these can increase the odds of victory. Now, let's all leave and let Ah Zhan be quiet. ”

Without waiting for him to wave, everyone else went out, including Xiao Xia. She knew that it was useless to comfort people when they were hit, and that the best way to give him a quiet environment to calm him down was to calm him down.

She hated Ruan Zhan's father because she allowed her beloved to be hurt, hurt his mind when she was a child, hurt his body when she grew up, and even took his life. She felt that the old man was very selfish, but after listening to Uncle Bao's story, she couldn't tell whether Ruan's father was great or selfish. He didn't mean to cause today's situation, he just wanted to save his master at first, and then he wanted to save the suffering world, and finally he wanted to cut himself off without others knowing, and take away the evil with himself, but he found that he couldn't do it!

He never thought of asking for something in return, nor did he think about implicating others, but in fact, he harmed the people closest to him. is as close as father and son, but not husband and wife, for Ruan Zhan's experience, she has reason to blame Ruan's father, but as an ordinary person, she sympathizes with this old man and wants to help him. In her opinion, what the old man is afraid of is not becoming a demon, but probably hurting others, including his own relatives, after becoming a demon.

Vaguely, she felt that the old man loved Ruan Zhan, and the reason why he was indifferent to Ruan Zhan was because he knew that there would be a day when father and son would face off like enemies, and you would die or die, because she was afraid that after Ruan Zhan had feelings, he wouldn't be able to do anything to him, right? ! At that moment, the old man was about to become a demon, his mind was completely lost, he would not be polite to Ruan Zhan, but the bitter thing was Ruan Zhan, who understood everything, but had to do it!

Thinking of this, her heart ached again. Ruan Zhan is so pitiful, he was born to carry this heavy mission, how can he deal with himself? How to decide? Growing up, he never got a trace of warmth, and now he has to pay for all this! She really wished she could replace him in the bitterness, but she couldn't! All she can do is to be his guardian angel and keep him safe, if he really encounters an accident, whether the ghost is over, or chase him back, she will not let go, she will never, absolutely never let go of him! He is the love she finally grasped!

Thinking of this, she can face it calmly. And her actions were very admirable when she saw Bao Datong's eyes. He thought that the woman would cry and scream at this time, begging the man not to leave, or be surprised, but he didn't expect Xiao Xia to hum a song when he was preparing lunch for him, just like no one else.

"You're such a strange woman, why don't you stop him?" He asked curiously.

The two days of special training tortured him enough, he didn't know what Ruan Zhan would be like when his father became a demon, he only knew that his father was a devil now. In the past, he always complained that his father forced him to learn Taoism, but compared to these days, it was like heaven.

Now, he has no leisure 24 hours a day, and he has to practice spiritual power in his dreams for a pitiful four hours of sleep every day, which makes him unable to lie down and fall asleep, and his physical fatigue cannot be relieved at all. During the day, his hands and feet were weakened by various Taoist exercises, and the fighting exercises with his father made him bruised all over his body, and he could only eat a very light meal every day, and only in these fifteen minutes could he rest. Therefore, although Xiao Xia's cooking level is extremely low, he is also very happy at this time of the day, after all, there is food and drink, and he can sit for a while and talk for a while.

"If I stop him, it will only make him embarrassed, since I love him, why should I force him? Even if he is willing to make concessions for me, he will not be happy in this life, what do I want to do with an unhappy man by my side? Do you live an awkward life with him? Xiao Xia handed him Bao Datong's meal, looking at his face that had lost a lot of weight in just a few days, "I support him, and when he comes back, he will think of how generous and sensible I am when he thinks of this in this life, and he will only love me more." Which choice is in my favor, that's obvious. ”

"Well said! Clever! Choose the right one! Bao Datong praised it, and after taking a bite of rice, he was obviously hungry, and even ate this kind of meal with relish, "When we come back from Tietou Mountain, I will dig the corner of Azhan's wall, why didn't I see a pearl like you before, I missed it in vain." ”

"Cut, who cares about you!" Knowing that he was joking, Xiao Xia still couldn't help but retort, "Didn't you say that?" The quality of a woman is important, and the quantitative requirements are also essential, so I won't give you the number! After she finished speaking, she ran to the door to open the door for Wanli.

Recently, the night return to the people has completely closed down, because the Bao father and son have to go in and out many times a day, and the place where they practice also needs space, fortunately, their actual combat practice will be selected in the dead of night, find a place in the wilderness, otherwise this house will also be demolished. And Ruan Zhan meditates every day, and he doesn't know what he is doing or thinking. Xiao Xia didn't dare to quarrel with him, and the two of them didn't have time to stay together. She didn't mind this, she wanted to be with him for a long time, and she didn't care about the past few days, but she tasted the taste of lovesickness, and finally understood what it meant to be close to the end of the world, and the feeling of being able to see but not being able to get close was really uncomfortable. Even Wanli didn't have any time, he was busy arranging the clinic, and today he finally finished his work, planning to learn spells from Uncle Bao. He said it well: grinding the gun in battle, and it is not bright and bright! If the strength is stronger, Ruan Zhan's life will have one more chance to be saved.

Compared to them, Xiao Xia is the most leisurely, so although she is still very calm on the surface, it seems that she wants to face her fate quietly, but she is the only one who has nothing to do, so she is close to the time day by day, and her feelings are extremely clear.

Finally, that day was coming, and a group of five people came to Jinshi Town a day in advance and stayed in the hotel where the gambling god He Fugui died violently.
