Chapter 42: The Man Behind the Scenes (I)

Before Xiao Xia could answer, she was picked up by Ruan Zhan and walked to the stream.

"I'm going to put you in the water, but it won't be long, and you won't feel the pain of suffocation."

"Okay."

"Trust me?"

"Believe!"

"Now, then, hold your breath!"

Xiao Xia did not hesitate and did exactly as he could.

Ruan Zhan gently put Xiao Xia in the water, and casually drew a talisman and pointed it into the water to prevent her from floating. Although the water is shallow, as long as the respiratory system is cut off, it will still kill people!

Xiao Xia felt that she was crushed in the water again, but this time she did not panic and despair, but calmly looked at Ruan Zhan who was standing by the stream, and her body, which had only been warmed by patience, gradually became cold again.

She knew that everything would be fine with him, and she would be absolutely safe with him. He is such a man, although he doesn't talk much, but when he is with him, he will make people feel calm and warm, and when the sky falls, he will go to the top, and when the ground sinks, he will pull you up.

And she trusts him absolutely, absolutely absolutely!

I saw Ruan Zhanning calm down, took out a talisman from his pocket, moved his lips slightly, recited the spell lightly, and then threw the talisman into the air. He moved in a dashing manner, but when the spell came out of his hand, it seemed not to be a piece of paper, but like a thin, but hard thing, it flew straight into the air, and 'soared' into a fire. The fire lasted for about a few seconds, and the spell that burned to paper ash fell into the stream.

However, the paper ash, which was as thin as smoke, did not drift away with the flow of the water, but suddenly rolled up a small black whirlpool the moment it fell to the surface of the water, and spun faster and faster, until it pierced down like an awl and plunged straight into her chest!

The speed of the black water cone was too fast, and before Xiao Xia could react, she felt that her chest was hot, and the awl had completely submerged into her chest and abdomen. She glanced at Ruan Zhan suspiciously, and saw that the latter was looking at her with pity.

She tried to smile and say to him, 'She's fine at the moment.' But at this moment, she suddenly felt that the part behind her ears where the charm had been drawn began to get hot, and at the same time, as if echoing each other, the heat in her chest and abdomen turned into a huge pain, coming directly from the inside of her body!

The pain was so sharp, as if a big pair of scissors was going to cut her in two, bloody and tear her in two, and then divide her ears into left and right halves! She couldn't help but twist her body in pain, and she couldn't scream, only rolled under the water!

She wanted to restrain herself, afraid that Ruan Zhan above the water would worry. But she didn't know that she thought she was rolling in pain, but in fact her body was quietly under the water, not moving, and the pain only came from the depths of her soul!

Ruan Zhan understands her pain, and his distress is no less than hers, he only hates that he can't replace her! Seeing her soul slowly being pulled out of her body, she knew that the torture of Xiao Xia was finally over.

He's done his best to make the process less painful and timeless. It's not like a normal person dies or dies, it's not an accident caused by an accident or coincidence, it's like having surgery. It is the same as dividing a part of the human body for a living person to have his soul out of his body, and for normal people, the separation of soul and body is not only mental pain!

This made him hate the person behind the scenes!

That person didn't know what his own selfish interests were, but he hurt two people who were extremely important to him, one was his only friend in this life, and I am afraid that no one would be able to surpass his friendship for him; One is the woman he loves, although he can't say it or accept it, I'm afraid no one will be able to make him so tempted!

For this, he is going to slaughter the bastard who is hiding behind the scenes with his own hands!

At this time, a strange wind blew, with a little fishy smell and coldness. He understands that the enemy is coming, and the man behind the scenes thinks that he has succeeded in his scheme, so he has come to collect the fruits of his victory!

He glanced at Xiao Xia again, and saw Xiao Xia's soul clinging to her own body, looking dazed, obviously unable to understand what was going on with the sudden and rapid disappearance of the great pain. But she should have understood that her soul and flesh were separated, because she didn't have to breathe anymore.

The ghost in the cloak applied cold poison to her, just so that her soul would not leave her body, so that the people behind the scenes would come to cast a ghost Gu on her. But the clothed ghost didn't know that the amulet of King Jizo she was carrying would play a very strong protective role at the most critical moment.

The reason why Xiao Xia is reluctant to reveal the secret of the talisman too early is that he is afraid that it will have no effect at a critical moment in the future, so no matter how afraid he is, he has always hidden it, but when the ghost casts cold poison, the talisman automatically plays a protective role, that is, it did not hurt her too much, nor did it fix her soul.

Looking at her fragile and resolute appearance, he suddenly thought, what would he do if she really died? Will you go with her? In this way, there should be no pain, right? In his view, what people are afraid of is not death itself, but only the loss of what they have!

However, he didn't have time to give himself an answer, because he sensed that the enemy was getting closer, so he eliminated the barrier, although he was still in a state of stealth, but in order to better confuse the other party, he added a charm to himself to hide his breath, and then hid in a bush a little farther away!

This person who tries to cast a ghost Gu on Xiao Xia and a death Gu for thousands of miles must die!

He thought ruthlessly.

In the distance, two black shadows appeared! Although the speed is very fast, it is not the state that humans should have, but the tall black shadow in front walks up and down, a bit like a short-distance teleportation, while the black shadow behind is floating, following behind like a light wind.

Getting closer, Ruan Zhan saw that although there were two visitors, there was only one figure on the ground, because one of them was the clothed ghost, and the other was a man - that is, the person behind the scenes, the owner of the clothed ghost, the bastard who tried to harm them!

He was wearing a national costume, which was the costume of the groom of the Susu tribe, because Ruan Zhan had been pretending to be a folk lover in various villages for the past two days to inquire about various things, so he could identify it at a glance, which also made him more sure that the groom in front of him was the person behind the scenes.

And the face he looks like, Ruan Zhan also recognizes it, and he recognized it as early as when he was in the city - Huang Boheng!

Ji Zhan suppressed the idea of jumping out and killing him immediately, and waited for the opportunity quietly, and Huang Boheng was also very cautious, he didn't get too close to the stream, and looked left and right, his right hand was on a small drum on his waist, and his whole body was in a state of preparation.

"Master, the bride is underwater." The ghost in the coat said a word, although his demeanor was respectful, but his tone was very anxious.

"What? Don't you want to follow me anymore? Huang Boheng glanced at the ghost, and his tone was contemptuous and a little provocative.

"No, it's not!" The Demoliqué hurriedly denied it, his fear palpable.

Huang Boheng sneered, did not speak, and continued to vigilantly observe the movements around him, if it weren't for Ruan Zhan casting a spell to keep Xiao Xia in a state of leaving his soul, and he also added a double stealth technique, maybe he would really be discovered.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in you anymore, I'll solve your Gu and let you go." Huang Boheng's demeanor relaxed a little, as if he thought that there was no threat around him. But he still didn't come to the stream, but turned to the ghost and asked, "Are you sure that the guy surnamed Ruan didn't come with him?" ”

"Yue Xiaoxia didn't tell him about the wedding, he is still looking for Ah Wu in the woods!" The cloaked ghost replied.

"I'm still looking for Awu, I haven't found him for so many years, what is he, how can I find him?" Huang Boheng sneered again, and finally put his hand down from the small drum on his waist.

Ruan Zhan on the side heard their conversation, and finally knew that the name of the jungle monster was Ah Wu, and he really had something to do with Huang Boheng, maybe he was also the most critical person in the whole secret!

"Even if he can find it, Awu won't dare to tell his master's secret!"

"Yes! She did something wrong back then, and she has already seen how good I am, so I forgive her for not daring to say it. Huang Boheng said proudly, and then slowly paced to the stream, looking at Xiao Xia under the water with a little fascination, and the greedy look made Ruan Zhan want to gouge out his eyeballs.

"Look, how lovely she is! Why do I like her so much, as soon as I see her, I try to get my hands on her in every possible way, and then hide it from anyone. I don't even know what's going on! Huang Boheng admired, pointing at Xiao Xia condescendingly, as if she was his slave, and that sense of superiority made Xiao Xia almost vomit. She was not afraid, because she knew that Ruan Zhan was nearby, but she felt that she still had to act a little bit in order to confuse her opponent, so she pretended to be very frightened.

Sure enough, her expression made Huang Boheng very satisfied, and laughed softly, the voice came through a thin layer of water, and there was a little buzzing sound, which made people feel unspeakably uncomfortable, "Don't be afraid, little girl!" As long as I put this in your eyes, you will no longer suffer from reincarnation, and we will be together forever. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a bamboo tube from his bosom. The bamboo tube is small, only the size of a finger, and it is very old, and it feels at least a hundred years old.

"It's the corpse of a small bug that comes back to life as soon as it gets into your eyes and then parasits inside. Don't be afraid, it doesn't hurt at all, and you'll have red spots on your eyeballs, which are very beautiful. From the time of their resurrection, your soul belongs to me. As soon as I call, you will come to me, and if I do not call, you will stay here. Look how beautiful it is, calm and serene, the seasons are like spring, and you will be very happy. Come, the beauty comes out of the water first! He said frivolously, and did not reach into the water to pull Natsu, but made strange gestures with both hands, and his feet also stepped on strange steps, as if using witchcraft, and tossed for half a minute before waving towards the water.

Xiao Xia only felt that he was being jerked by an invisible force, and his body broke through the water with a 'bang' and landed on the grass by the stream, while he stood in the water, and immediately understood that what was on the shore was his own body, and what was in the water was his soul.

The ghost in the cloak on the side watched all this silently, although there was nothing to support her under the robe, and there was no way to know her expression, but the whole robe trembled, and the water droplets on it fell rapidly, and I don't know whether it was excitement or nervousness.

...
