Chapter 34: Departure

"What?!" Bao Datong was taken aback, seeing that Ruan Zhan's chest was really shockingly red, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Xiao Xia, who was still in a groggy state, "What should I do?" What about Ah Zhan's soul? ”

"Providence pressed his soul inside him in order to protect him." Uncle Bao said: "Now it is equivalent to his physical death, but his soul is unconscious." ”

"What does this mean—what does this mean?"

"Datong, you know, if a person's physical body dies, his soul cannot be forcibly attached to it, in that case, the physical body will still rot. But Ah Zhan's situation is different, his soul is pressed into his body by the will of heaven, which means that his soul is not out of his body, and his physical body will not be damaged. ”

"You mean—can he be resurrected?" Bao Datong was surprised and delighted.

Uncle Bao was stunned for a long time, and shook his head in embarrassment, "Theoretically, this is the case, because his soul has not left, and it is not forcibly retained, so the physical body is not rotten, and there is a possibility of resurrection." But in fact, his heart was broken, and it was not possible to save his physical body medically. What's more, it is impossible for his soul to remain in a coma in his body for a long time, and once he wakes up, his life is truly gone. That is, when he wakes up, that's when he really dies. ”

"For how long?" Bao Datong asked, "Neither of us is a medical expert, maybe we should take him to the hospital to have a look, the question is how long his soul can not wake up!" ”

Uncle Bao leaned down and carefully probed Ruan Zhan's breath, "His soul will wake up in no more than ten days." He stopped, recalled the scene at that time, and sighed again, "I understand, at the last moment, the relationship between father and son still defeated the remaining evil thoughts, so that Providence made the choice to protect his son and give up himself at that moment." When the crystal knife shattered, the evil qi of heaven's will was completely shaken out, with his skills, if he wanted to protect himself, there was no problem, but at this time, as long as he was a father, he would leave the chance of life to his son, there was nothing to say. But that array was too powerful, and the momentum of the crystal knife fragments was too powerful, so he couldn't keep Ah Zhan's body even though he was desperate. Or, he wanted to keep his son's soul alive and see if any miracles would happen in the last ten days. Is that right? ”

He asked suddenly, but instead of facing Bao Datong, he said to the beads in his hand that were strung with silver waterlines. The strange thing is that the string of beads seems to be conscious, and when he hears Uncle Bao's question, the silver thread of the beads glows faintly, and it seems to agree.

Bao Datong was taken aback: "Dad, this is-?" ”

"Your Uncle Ruan has lost his soul, but I didn't say that he was gone. The silver thread you see is the one that his soul and soul have twisted together. Fortunately, what has been preserved is a conscious soul, which shows that his heart is not dead, and he still wants to save his son, and then take these evil qi to the Infernal Hell, which will be resolved one day. ”

Only then did Bao Datong notice that the evil qi had not been dissolved, but had been split into temporarily harmless parts, "At that time, when you calculated Ah Zhan's fate, what was his miracle?" ”

"If there is nothing." Uncle Bao smiled bitterly, "So this is uncertain, although it is man-made, but I have heard of heart bypass surgery or something, but I have not heard of any doctor who can repair the heart that is so badly damaged." ”

"Is it okay with spells?"

"As far as I know, no." Uncle Bao was full of regrets. He can see through life and death, but he is afraid that he will not be able to fulfill his old friend's last wish, "Maybe God will give Ah Zhan a miracle, after all, at the time of the battle, the will of heaven suddenly awakened, and it is also the mercy of God." ”

Bao Datong didn't speak, only looked down at Ruan Zhan, and saw that his face was as white as paper, although his chest was no longer bleeding, but the whole person was so fragile that it seemed to be going to disappear with the wind at any time. Miracles, it's easy to say, and it seems hopeful to leave his life behind, but where is the miracle? How can you do it?

"How's Wanli?" He asked without looking back.

"Through our bodies, we cast mana on the spiritual net. He is not a cultivator, this kind of power is something he can't afford, and he is the closest to the Eye of the Absolute Formation, and he will be hit the hardest, I estimate that he will be in a coma for a few days. ”

"It's good that you're not dead." Bao Datong said easily, he seemed to be happy that Wanli was injured, but he was also very worried about this friend.

"He'll be very uncomfortable, but you can't say it, and when he's unconscious, you can torture him at any time to take revenge." Uncle Bao looked at Bao Datong dotingly, "Didn't you say that he always quarrels with you?" Now you can scold him enough, and he can't even talk back. ”

From childhood to adulthood, although his father was gentle on the surface, he rarely spoiled him. Now when the father says this, it is like an unreasonable father standing up for his son, and Bao Datong is a little embarrassed, "I'm not so stingy." He scratched his head and went to pull his father's hand again, trying to help him up, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, his hand passed through his father's body, and his father's body turned out to be just a shadow!

Bao Datong was taken aback and froze on the ground. He has cultivated since he was a child, and has dealt with countless ghosts and gods, so he knows too well what this means. When he came back here just now, he was shocked by this scene, and he didn't pay attention to anything at all, but now that he thinks about it, his father was seriously injured, and he was able to come to Ruan Zhan's side so quickly, and he could also hold the evil qi strung with Uncle Ruan's soul, this is all abnormal, those are all nothing. Also, it seems that there is a person lying next to Wanli all the time, who is it if it is not a father?

"Datong. You're like this, a kid, you don't look at what you don't like when you see it, is this escapism? Uncle Bao said softly.

"I don't understand." Bao Datong replied very quickly, looking particularly capricious.

"Datong, look at me, I've been—"

"I don't watch!" Having said that, I didn't dare to look up, but my nose was sore, and tears fell.

"Datong, you stupid boy, how can you let me go at ease when you call me like this. Look up at Lao Tzu, I'm going to leave in a while, give me your face to Lao Tzu, now it's going to be separated forever. Uncle Bao pretended to be calm and said.

Bao Datong burst into tears, since he was a child, he has never cried like this. At the moment when his father was about to leave, he realized how reluctant he was. Why have you never been filial to him? Why did he never hear from him, and even, he didn't tell his father that he loved him very much.

"You have to remember, I don't regret all this I did for your Uncle Ruan today. We have known each other since childhood, when we were all street children and almost starved to death in that troubled world. It was because of your Uncle Ruan that I came back to life. When there was something to eat, he always gave it to me first, and when my foot hurt, he carried me all the way. Vicious dogs and wicked men bully us, and he helps me to stop them. He always said that it would be nice if there were no wicked people in this world. For me, he was someone I knew for as long as I could remember, not only a friend, but also a brother. Later, we apprenticed together, because we were separated from different masters, and then we have been together less and more, but this time, our brotherhood has been together, this is called a beginning and an end, you should be happy for me. Uncle Bao stroked his son's head, but he didn't touch it, and the void passed, "You must know that in this life, friends and brothers are very important, fortunately you have thousands of miles, if you can save Ah Zhan, he will also be your friend for a lifetime, you must cherish it." It's a pity that I didn't love you well. ”

"No, Dad, you love me very much, it's me who don't fight."

"Nonsense, you're very angry." Uncle Bao reprimanded his son lovingly.

At this moment, he suddenly understood the heart of his old friend, he once thought that he had a chance to make up for the love he owed to his son, and thought that he could enjoy the love of father and son, but after all, he also lost the opportunity. "You don't have a natural ability, but you can cultivate to such an extent, it's amazing! After I leave, you have to practice diligently, you know that our faction is not jealous of women, and we will ask a good girl to be our wife in the future, you know? Don't just look at your looks, but take care of—"

"Dad, don't go, didn't Uncle Ruan stay in the sun for a long time?" Bao Datong interrupted his father's words,

"Datong, don't be disobedient. Your Uncle Ruan didn't leave because there was something unfinished, but I am accompanying my brother to hell, what regrets do I have, I have a son like you, what else can't I let go? We who cultivate the Tao pay attention to the nature of the Heavenly Dao, and you have to think about it. I'm leaving this time to help your Uncle Ruan resolve these evil spirits, maybe, after a hundred years, our father and son may not have a time to meet. Uncle Bao said uncertainly, "Datong, raise your head, don't cry like a girl's family, now Wanli is in a coma and can't move, and it is unknown whether Ah Zhan can be resurrected, there is only one Xiaoxia left, how can a girl's family be able to do without help, you have to be strong, don't let me go uneasy." ”

Bao Datong knew that what his father said was right, and he knew that all this was irreparable, but he just couldn't stop the tearing discomfort in his heart, and wanted to hold his father's hand and not let go. See? It's easy to say, although they cultivate, they are just helping the world to kill demons and eliminate demons, after all, they are mortals, how can they see it?! But this was his father's wish, and since he had never done anything to make him proud, he could at least pretend to be strong now.

At this time, Xiao Xia woke up.

The moment she woke up, the moment Ruan Zhan looked at her, the words that her lips moved slightly and suddenly broke into her mind, making the heart-rending pain run from the top of her head to the soles of her feet. She got up and saw Ruan Zhan lying on the ground from a distance, and a great fear rose in her heart, as if the end of the world was coming.

She staggered and ran over, seeing Ruan Zhan as silent as a sculpture, her mind confused, and she rushed over to check his body up and down.

His face was cold, the steady beating of his chest had completely disappeared, his lonely eyes that had always made her feel pity were tightly closed, and the corners of his resolute mouth showed a relaxed arc at this moment. Is he too tired? Is he living too hard? But he said he would love her forever, so why did he leave?

"Wake up." She shook his hand, "I have declared sovereignty and stamped it, and now you are mine, and you are not allowed to leave without my permission." Do you hear me, you wake me up. If you dare to die, if you dare to leave me behind, I will hate you. I swear I will hate you, I will hate and hate, I will hate until I am old, I will hate you in your next life and the next life in the next! I swear I'll do it! When she said that, she cried out, tears welling up in her face, and her whole heart was broken. Without him, what is the meaning of life? Who listens to her laugh, who will accompany her until late at night, and who else can make her tempted like this, want to give him a home, and want to love her all the time? She wants no one but him!

She lost her mind and wanted to move his body, but she let Bao Datong hold her waist.

"You let go of me! I'm going to wake him up, I hate him to death! I hate him to death! ”

"Shhhhhhhhh Xiao Xia's sadness temporarily diverted Bao Datong's pain of losing his father, in order to calm her down, or give her a reason to live, he couldn't help but burst out, "He's dead, but he still has a chance to be resurrected." "It doesn't matter if it will do it, whether it will happen miracles, if you don't give Xiao Xia a hope, she might go crazy on the spot.

When Xiao Xia heard Bao Datong's words, she suddenly stopped crying and looked at Bao Datong blankly, really afraid that she had heard it wrong.

"That's right, you heard me right, I'm telling the truth." Bao Datong held Xiao Xia's shoulder and gave her a fairly affirmative look, "His soul has been pressed in his body by his father, which means that he hasn't left yet, as long as we mend his heart, he can come back to life." ”

"Then why didn't he talk to me? Why? Xiao Xia's tears slipped down like beads of broken threads again, "He's an alien, he can talk to me, why don't you ignore me?" ”

"Because his soul is now unknown, he can have a chance to be resurrected, and if his soul wakes up, then he will really die. So, do you want it too? Bao Datong stared at Xiao Xia's eyes.

Xiao Xia was immediately silenced, and Bao Datong patted her shoulder comfortingly, so that she could calm down, but Xiao Xia looked up and saw Uncle Bao, and saw that he was a soul at a glance, "Uncle Bao, you?" Before Uncle Bao could answer, she saw Wan Li lying there again, and was even more shocked, "He's not dead, is he?" Is that right? He's not dead, is he? ”

"This child is born with strong yang energy, and his blessings are long, and he will not die." Uncle Bao replied, "It's us old guys who died, that's what you say, oh, metabolism." He said it lightly, as if he were not talking about death.

Xiao Xia called out to his uncle, his voice was choked, and he couldn't speak anymore.

"Now let's find a way to deal with the aftermath first." Bao Datong seemed to be strong in an instant, no longer the usual hippie smiling face, "Although Ah Zhan's heart is damaged, it is not suitable to be sent to the hospital, anyway, the method of his resurrection cannot be counted on medical technology." Thousands of miles is the soul is damaged, and it is better to recuperate. He said, looking left and right, "This cave is good, no one has ever known about it anyway." After a while, I moved Ah Zhan and Wan Li in, used illusions to create illusions outside, and even the dead locust tree was conjured up, and then set up an enchantment outside the cave, then they should be safe. ”

Uncle Bao saw that his son was right, and said comfortingly: "You're right, you can't let people know about things here." Fortunately, the moon was eclipse last night, and it looks like it has been bombed, so no one should be nosy, so you can just hide for a while. Those two evildoers should have gone back, you just need to take care of yourselves. When he said this, he paused, "After dawn, you and Uncle Ruan will also leave." ”

When Bao Datong heard this, he suddenly touched his face with his hand and cried bitterly.
