Chapter 6 The Lost City Chapter 51 Love Death
Chapter 51: Love Death
"The boy surnamed Ruan, you get over here." Sima Nan suddenly said loudly.
Ruan Zhan had been standing by the side, watching the sad scene that Ah Bai had experienced, and even forgetting to take the opportunity to move outside the tower to recover his spiritual energy. He was seriously injured, and he gritted his teeth before he reluctantly came to Sima Nan's side. At this time, he was completely unguarded, and he also knew that there was no need for it at all, and when he had long eyes, he could see that Sima Nan would die soon, and this battle ended with such a dramatic scene.
"You have to admit that I didn't lose to you." Sima Nan leaned on Ah Bai's arms, although his face had turned abnormally gray, his expression was still proud.
"You didn't lose!" Ruan Zhan honestly admitted.
"Yes, I didn't lose to you, I lost to myself. What is this called? β
"People are not as good as heaven."
Sima Nan smiled weakly and nodded slightly, "Sure enough, what you are asking for does not end well." Money, beauty, longevity, all of them. It's sad that I claim to be learning the Tao in vain, but pursuing the most unnatural things! β
"No, in terms of Taoism, I admire you, you are the person with the most profound mana I have ever seen." Ruan Zhan said sincerely.
Seeing that Sima Nan's life was about to disappear, thinking about the innocent people who were wrongfully murdered for his own selfishness, Ruan Zhan should have celebrated the victory, but he couldn't be happy. Not only because of Ah Bai's endless sadness, but also contains regret for Sima Nan who went astray, as well as the complicated and indescribable emotions in his heart.
All along, he had aimed to deal with Sima Nan, but now that Sima Nan was about to die, and it seemed that he would not even have his soul left, he suddenly felt empty and powerless. Why is this happening? He couldn't stand this sad atmosphere, he would rather fight to the death with Sima Nan, vigorously! And now like this, he feels that he broke the heart of such a kind Ah Bai!
"Is the Tao the deepest? Not really. Sima Nan said softly, "Your father is a great mage, what you see is not his truest appearance, he is the real power!" β
"My father?" Sima Nan's words made Ruan Zhan's heart move, he always felt that there was something between him and Sima Nan, and he knew that it must be related to his father, but he didn't know what the specific relationship or relationship between them was.
Originally, he wanted to interrogate Sima Nan, because if he didn't ask now, with Sima Nan's death, this matter would become an eternal mystery. But when he saw that Ah Bai was so sad, how could he bear to disturb their last minute relationship, he didn't expect Sima Nan to take the initiative to mention this.
Sima Nan glanced at Ruan Zhan, "Did he say that you have a problem every three?" β
Ruan Zhan was taken aback, he had been busy dealing with the affairs in the empty city recently, and he threw this matter to the back of his neck. At this time, when I heard Sima Nan mention it, I subconsciously glanced at Xiao Xia, but saw that she was still in a state of stiffness, but her face was full of tears, she looked at him for a while, looked at Ah Bai for a while, and understood that she was sad for Ah Bai again, and worried about her injury, so she didn't notice Sima Nan's words.
"You also know my troubles?" He asked, lowering his voice.
Sima Nan's expression was quite complicated, a little pity and a little understanding, but he didn't answer Ruan Zhan's question directly, "That difficulty is the death of your life, you will definitely not be able to get through it, think of countermeasures as soon as possible!" As for my relationship with youβ" He motioned for Ruan Zhan to come closer, and then whispered a few words in Ruan Zhan's ear.
"I'm sure you're surprised." Sima Nan smiled bitterly, "The world is unpredictable and changeable, so you don't have to take it too seriously." β
Ruan Zhan is not a person who is full of joy and anger, but his face at the moment is even more ugly than Sima Nan. He straightened up, his face was incredulous, and he just wanted to ask something more, but Sima Nan shook his head, and Ruan Zhan had no choice but to swallow what he was about to say.
Sima Nanken told him these things without reservation, which was enough to be worthy of him, and he would find the answers to other things by himself. Now that Sima Nan has run out of oil, he should leave the last time to his wife.
"Ah Bai." Sima Nan whispered softly, "Bring your face close to me, I want you to be the last image in my eyes." β
Abai whimpered and bowed his head.
Sima Nan reluctantly raised his hand and gently stroked her face, "I'm sorry, Ah Bai." In the end, I still can't stay with you, and I still don't understand if I really love you. I'm sorry to make you sad, I'm sorry! β
Ah Bai couldn't say a word, just shook his head and cried.
"Good boy - be good - don't look away - we are each other's fate, we can't get over each other's fate, but I really like this one!" Sima Nan's breath became weaker and weaker, and his body was almost transparent, "I'm leaving, you have to be fine." Be obedient, good boy, be sure to be good. β
He used their newlywed nickname to say a final goodbye to Ah Bai, which broke Ah Bairou's heart. If they are the other party's calamity, when they meet, it will be inevitable!
At that time, he was standing under a rattan tree, although his clothes were ragged and his expression was haggard, but he was handsome, elegant and gentle, so different, so unruly and chic, that she fell in love at first sight; In their time together, his conversation, his learning, his wisdom in discussing Taoism and witchcraft, and his slightest concern for her, made her palpitate; In their short married life, he doted on her like a father to his daughter, like a close friend so that she could share everything with him with peace of mind, and like a lover, how could she see it!
It was he who gave her a different world and made her understand that the world is so big; It was he who made her enjoy other emotions besides respect, and she didn't have to be her yabu every day, she could be a mischievous child, or a little girl who lost her temper, a coquettish little woman, or an irresponsible lazy worm; It was he who made her experience all the tastes of life, and made her understand that she is not only a witch with divine powers, but also a woman with seven emotions and six desires!
Respect and awe, she has too much, only he gave him affection and warmth, gave him sad cries and happy smiles, how could she not love him! Even if he lied to her? What if he didn't even know if he loved her or not? What if all this was just a dream?
He's the only one for her, he's gone, how can she be okay!
Hmmmββ
A breeze blew, and Sima Nan's body in Ah Bai's arms suddenly collapsed and disappeared in an instant, leaving only the white clothes stained red with blood.
"Anan-" Ah Bai screamed sadly, threw off his clothes, and kept groping on the ground with his hands, "Anan, don't leave me!" Anan, come back! Anan, come back, don't leave me! Come back! β
She cried and dug hard into the ground, as if Sima Nan was not scattered, but fell into the ground. She dug in vain, strings of bloody tears slid down her face, and her slender ten fingers, which should have been insubstantial, were ground down by the hard ground and bloody, but she just didn't stop, desperately trying to pull her disappeared lover back from nothingness!
"Ah Bai, he's gone." Ruan Zhan couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and hugged Ah Bai. But Ah Bai couldn't listen to it at all, broke free of Ruan Zhan's arms, and knelt on the ground again.
"Anan, come back, take my life--Anan-come back!"
She cried so sadly that even Ruan Zhan was about to cry.
"Ah Baiβ" He stepped forward again, trying to pull Ah Bai up, but found that the clothes piled on the ground trembled very slightly, as if something was beating underneath.
He hurriedly crouched down and found the red stone hidden under his clothes. Sima Nan died under this sacred stone because of lying, but the stone was not destroyed because of it. But what trembled under the clothes was not only this immortal stone like a human heart, but also a wisp of remnant soul that could not be seen by the naked eye on the periphery of the stone!
"Ah Bai, look at this." He picked up the wisp of remnant soul with one finger and the stone with the other, "Ah Bai! Because Ah Bai didn't respond to him, he raised his voice and shouted.
But Ah Bai still didn't hear it, and still dug desperately into the ground, so that he had to forcibly pull her up, "What do you think this is?" β
Ah Bai's eyes were blurred with tears, and he didn't understand what was going on for a moment, but the remnant soul on Ruan Zhan's finger saw Ah Bai as if he saw his master, and accelerated the beating speed, making Ah Bai stare at it in surprise at first, and then realize something, and immediately reached out to hold the remnant soul in his hand.
"Is thisβis this him?" She widened her teary eyes and looked at Ruan Zhan.
Ruan Zhan sighed and shook his head, "Ah Bai, Sima Nan has disappeared and will never come back. It's just a remnant of his soul, unconscious, thoughtless, and only instinctive to react so much to you. β
Ah Bai didn't speak, looked down at his hand, and saw the remnant soul rubbing gently in her fleshy palm, and shed tears again.
"He loved me." She said bitterly, raising her palm and touching it lightly on her face, "He can't figure it out, he's not used to loving others, but he loves me, even though it's only a trace, but he loves me." I get it, Anan, I get it, I don't regret it! As long as you have a glimmer of love for me, I'll be enough, Anan-"
Her tears were not yet dry, but she smiled, holding the wisp of Sima Nan's remnant soul and kissing it gently, which made Ruan Zhan's heart fall into her sadness again.
The Eternal Life Stone will leave the soul of the liar, which is the greatest punishment for the ruthless, but maybe even Sima Nan himself doesn't know that he has a trace of sincere love for Ah Bai in his heart, and it is precisely because of this sincere love that he can leave a trace of soul.
But this is by no means Sima Nan, it can't be transformed into that man to accompany Ah Bai, can't speak, can't smile, and doesn't have any memories of Sima Nan, it's just a wisp of soul like the wind, which may dissipate at any time, even if Ah Bai uses this remnant soul as the base when she is the most powerful, and tries all her strength to help him gather his soul successfully, he is no longer Sima Nan.
Sima Nan is dead.
"It's a part of him, and even if he doesn't know anything, at least I feel like he's with me, and I won't be alone anymore." Ah Bai understood Ruan Zhan's intentions, and said faintly, "This is enough. I never wanted anything from him, including love, but he gave it to me, and I have nothing to complain about. β
"And what are you going to do?"
"What should I do?" Abai smiled sadly, "He's gone, only this is the only thing left, I just want to follow him, and I don't know where to go." I think I should go back to my dry well, with him with me, the vicissitudes of the sea and the sea are rotten, it has nothing to do with me, just be by my side. β
Ruan Zhan heard her say so sad and resolute, he couldn't think of any words of comfort for a while, but thinking that Ah Bai had broken a wisp of soul in order to save him from Sima Nan, he secretly decided to help her.
"I'll send you back." Ruan Zhan said to Ah Bai, and at the same time returned the Immortal Stone to her.
She has no divine power, and she lacks a soul, and the road is still so far away, if a person takes Sima Nan's remnant soul back, the danger factor is too great, so when he finishes dealing with this empty city, he will personally send her back, and use the strongest enchantment he can form to block the outside of the dry well, so that she can get out, but nothing else can enter.
Sima Nan went, but he confessed his feelings and told himself some secrets, and for this reason, he wanted to protect Ah Bai for Sima Nan!
Ah Bai nodded, took the stone, and wrapped all Sima Nan's clothes, shoes and socks on the ground in his arms, sat on the ground and whispered a prayer that he didn't understand. In just a moment, she entered the realm of forgetting things and me, and her beautiful face was covered with a layer of holy radiance.
Ruan Zhan looked up at the sky, and didn't understand why such a kind woman had such a tragic ending, is this world really fair?
The sky was no longer dark and dreary, but a little gray, which reminded him that things had to be resolved as soon as possible, and the sky was about to dawn!
As soon as I turned my head, I saw a red shadow passing through the pergola very quickly, rushing towards the corridor in the center of the lake, and heading in the direction of the square, not Hong Haohao!
The scene just now that was unexpected by everyone also made Hong Hao Hao completely overwhelmed. She, like everyone else, could only watch it all and wait until it was over to remember her own business.
Sima Nan is gone, her backer is gone, and what she is most afraid of falls on her head - she is not a complete woman, she cannot live independently in this world, but she doesn't want to go back to the original world, and her only reaction is to run.
She had no plan at all, and she didn't know where she was going, just subconsciously.
She ran very fast, and in a blink of an eye, she was on the square, but she saw that it was dark in front of her, and Ruan Zhan, who had recovered some spiritual energy, stepped over from the side of the tower and blocked her way.
