Chapter 17: Evil Spirits

These words made Ruan Zhan rise up like thunder.

The last time he was dealing with the demon boy, the Bloodwood Sword once burst out with a dazzling red light the moment he approached his father, and he was secretly uneasy in his heart at that time, because it meant that his father had an extremely strong evil aura. But he doesn't want to believe this, his father can abandon him, he can betray him, but he must not be a great evil person, that will make his inner spiritual world collapse, and all his dependence and belief will disappear!

When he was a child, he refused to learn Taoism in order to attract his father's attention, but his father never forced him, but only forced him to memorize many spells, so that he could practice slowly when he grew up. My father once said: The Tao is natural, and it is necessary to promote evil with good.

For so many years, although he has treated the world indifferently, and he understands that things in this world are too complicated to distinguish between good and evil, but there has always been a clear boundary in his heart, and if his father is a great evil person, how will he deal with himself?!

The Bloodwood Sword doesn't lie!

As soon as he stretched out his hand and took out the broken flag, his heart seemed to be fried in boiling oil, and his face pretended to be expressionless, and he took the two evil spirits into the flag. He can't let them see the slightest clue, otherwise he doesn't know how many more incidents will occur. But if you think about it, my father made a mistake because of kindness back then, and a few days ago he tried his best to give them a chance to reform against the pair of demon boys, how could he be a great evil person?

"Where's my father? Tell me. He asked coldly.

The Broken Banner trembled, but did not answer.

"Why do you force me to do the torture? The most important thing is that you have all said it, do you still care about this little detail? If I have to look for it myself, I will have to pay the price for as long as I have to look for it. Otherwise, I might consider giving you a treat. It is impossible to let you go, you know how much blood you have on you. Ruan Zhan didn't want to let them go in exchange for intelligence, because even though they were hostile sides, he was not willing to use deception.

"He's in a secret cave under the col on the left, and there's a dead locust tree not far from the mouth of the cave." After a long time, the voice of the three-inch golden lotus came out, "Are you sure you want to see him?" Maybe you won't be able to take it. Auntie loves you, so kindly reminded you! She giggled.

"Thank you for your concern." Ruan Zhan's emotionless voice disappointed the two evil spirits in the flag, but they didn't have a chance to speak again, because Ruan Zhan had already sealed and put away the flag, and walked down the mountain without hesitation.

The location of the secret cave is easy to find, because the mountain is bare, and the dead locust tree seems to stand out. But although the location was found, the entrance of the cave was searched for a long time and was not found, Ruan Zhan rummaged through piles of rocks, a puff of weeds that can survive anywhere, and there was still no clue.

Did my father set up an enchantment outside the entrance of the cave? But why is it unimpeded? Could it be an invisible enchantment that he couldn't discover with his skills?

Thinking of this, Ruan Zhan took out the Seal of Destruction. It was something that could break all barriers, and he had it with him, just in case, but he didn't expect it to be useful.

Recite the incantation, shatter and print. There was a crisp sound in the air, different from the previous sound of glass breaking, this sound was like a birdsong, and it made people's hearts beat when it made a sound. After that, a trace of black gas faintly emanated under the long grass, Ruan Zhan knew that behind it was where the entrance of the cave was, but as soon as he found out that there was a bad aura at the entrance of the cave, Ruan Zhan's already twisted heart could not let go even more.

The hole was very dark, and a light spell emitted a cold light, guiding Ruan Zhan's footsteps in mid-air; The cave is also very deep, and it seems to run through the entire belly of the mountain, which is unimaginable outside the cave; The cave is still very clean, which proves that not only is it inaccessible to people, but even animals rarely come. It's where the real secrets are, and it feels mysterious.

With a "snap", the light charm suddenly spontaneously combusted, and then extinguished, and the cave fell into darkness.

Ruan Zhan stood still, feeling the abnormality, and his heart immediately ached.

"I'm here, why don't I see it."

After a while, he sighed in the darkness, "You-you know?" ”

"Those two evildoers only said one thing, I came to ask for understanding." Ruan Zhan knew that his father didn't want him to get close, so he didn't step forward, and simply stood there and told the truth.

He was speechless for a long time, and then several light talismans rose into the air, much brighter than Ruan Zhan's cast, illuminating all the innermost corners of the cave. In the bright light, an old man sat cross-legged on the ground, and at first glance, like the old people sitting on the side of the road and in the park, lonely and desolate, discarded there like rags that no one wanted.

Ruan Zhan almost never cried, but at this moment, he was so sad that he wanted to cry. He blamed his father for not giving him paternal love, but when did he give him father-son love? Even if he is really his adoptive father, he should be filial! At that time, I was too young, too stubborn, and hated everything in this world, but now I can't get it back.

Today he understands that it is a great pain in life for a son to be raised but his relatives are not there!

"Why?" He asked, because he could see clearly the black qi wrapped around his father's body, which was the aura that only people can have if they did great evil. At first glance, he was so surprised that he almost lost his mind. That evil aura is too powerful, he can't dissolve it, and he can't suppress it!

"Don't ask. You'll understand one day. But it was my fault, I overestimated my own abilities and blamed others. Father Ruan said slowly, his eyes revolving around Ruan Zhan, and there was a look of love in his eyes.

This child, he loves very much, but for that destined day, he can't love, otherwise everything is irreparable.

"No, I need to know why?" Ruan Zhan said stubbornly, from childhood to adulthood, he was so excited for the first time, "You don't care about me, but I can't ignore you." ”

"Our father and son have always been no one and no one's, don't worry about it." Ruan's father turned his eyes and turned into indifference.

"If you have done evil, why do you want to disperse your evil spirit?" His father's rejection made his heart ache, but he firmly believed that his father had something unspeakable. If he is really a wicked person, why should he disperse his evil spirit? After only a moment in the cave, he felt unwell, why did his father suffer here alone? Judging from the evil aura around him, no one can stop him, so why should he ask for hardship?!

"Any idea why I'm here? Do you know why Tietou Mountain is so barren? Ruan's father replied, "It's a pity that when you were a child, I didn't teach you the science of Feng Shui. But at that time, you will resist anything, and you will not learn if you are taught. You have to know that there is a spiritual mountain treasure land, and there is a place where the natural spiritual energy is abundant or the natural qi is gathered, there will be a place where the aura is opposite. This Tietou Mountain is a strange place on the mountains and rivers of the earth, it has no aura, and it cannot gather qi, but a place of deflatment. Now you understand why the mountain is so bare, right? All things and beasts like to grow in a place full of spiritual energy, and if there is no such benefit here, it will leak out, and you think there can be any other mountain treasures and beasts here? Even Yamagata grew evil. Of course, there is also a spiritual land in the poor mountains and bad waters, but it is in some general environment, and here it should be like spring all year round, but it can't make the mountains and rivers beautiful, it is not the environment, but the aura. He said slowly, like an old man teaching his son knowledge, which suddenly reminded Ruan Zhan of his childhood, but he immediately returned to reality.

"You didn't answer my question."

Father Ruan was helpless, so he had to nod and say, "That's right." I'm venting my bad spirits. ”

"Did you go crazy while cultivating? Or have you fallen for some evil trick? ”

"Neither." Ruan's father shook his head and suddenly stretched out his hand to Ruan Zhan. Before Ruan Zhan could react, he felt that the backpack on his back moved, a metallic light flashed, and the cracked banner had already reached Ruan's father's hand.

Holding this small metal banner in his hand, Ruan's father gently stroked it, as if he was extremely reluctant to give up on this magic weapon that had followed him for many years, which made Ruan Zhan even more puzzled - he loved everything so much, why couldn't he give a little fatherly love to himself? Why is that? Is there a reason?

"These two are really outliers." Ruan's father said, stretched out his hand, and easily detained two evil demons from the broken banner that Ruan Zhan had forbidden. At this moment, they were not their own images, but two pale white balls of light, which were casually pressed by Ruan's father and fell into the stone wall.

"I didn't expect them to keep an eye on me secretly, but I didn't even notice it, and finally let them know my secret and lure you here." He sighed slightly, "I'm dead, yin and yang are separated, it's better not to see me." ”

"Don't avoid the important and tell me the truth!"

"Leave these two to me, I'll solve the wrong things I did, you can go." Ruan's father still talked to himself, and did not answer Ruan Zhan's question at all.

"You can't help but say it, because it's about me. Even if you don't want me as a son, tell me what's going on with the three troubles? Ruan Zhan had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know how to inquire about the inside story for a while, and he didn't know how to persuade his stubborn father, so he had to change the topic, "I have a very beloved person, I can't die, I want to be with her!" ”

When the words came out, not only Ruan Tianyi, but even Ruan Zhan himself was stunned. These words have been in his heart for a long time, and it is the first time that he has said it so bluntly.

Ruan Tianyi looked at Ruan Zhan for a while, and sighed almost inaudibly. He treats his son like that, just to make him cold and cold, because his mission is like this, and he can't get caught up in emotional entanglements with others. Wanli is already an exception, it is a trace of human warmth left by his son when he is soft-hearted, but he didn't expect that his son still can't escape the word "love". It's just that it's okay to fall in love, but it's deep into it. This is not good for him, it can only increase the pain, is the fate of this child really so heavy?

"Is that the girl surnamed Yue?" He squinted his eyes and carefully recalled the hurried sight, "It's very cute." It's a pity that you can't escape the triumph, it's doomed, unless there is a miracle. But you can't expect miracles. ”

"What does that mean?"

"It means that if you are with her, you will only harm her. Let it go! If you really like her that much, you should think about her, or if something really happens to you, go to her. At that time, everything can be reversed, and it is better than the future. That girl looks like a fierce character, and she's really anxious, and she's doing anything, isn't she? ”

Ruan Zhan's heart trembled, because he knew that his father was right. He has suppressed his love for Xiao Xia, but if the feelings can be controlled, then it is not real feelings. So he wants to get through the difficulty of every three, and it's all for Xiao Xia. Now that his father has cut off his hope, is he still going to fight? Or give up. Father is right, Xiao Xia's wildfire-like personality can do anything.

"Don't hide it now." He said slowly, not daring to look at his father, "Tell me the truth, and I will judge whether to give up on her or not." Don't tell me that the secret of heaven should not be revealed, and don't say that it is for my good, this is destiny or something, I should bear it, I can't run, at least I have the right to know why this is my destiny. After he finished speaking, he sat down, as if his father would never leave without saying anything.

Ruan Tianyi had never seen Ruan Zhan like this, and his deliberate cultivation of his son's indifferent personality was very successful to a certain extent. Since he was a child, he has shown an indifference to everything that does not match his age, and he will never force anything. What made him what he is today, maybe this kid is a hot-blooded character, but he was tortured by his own hands to hide himself?!

Well, since he has ruined his own flesh and blood for that incident, why not tell his son that cruel truth through his mouth. This was something he had always avoided, for fear of increasing his son's pain and torment before that day came, but accidents were frequent, and everything forced him to do so.

"Your tribulation is doomed, for I have calculated repeatedly that there will be strange celestial phenomena on that day. This is not an astronomical phenomenon that people often say, so it is something that the world does not feel, and only those who have cultivated to a certain extent can know it. On this day, you have to do something that will kill you 100 percent - do you still want to listen to it? Ruan Tianyi asked.

Death is not terrible, what is terrible is waiting for death.

Ruan Zhan's face turned pale and nodded, hearing his doomed fate, he had a strange feeling, as if that day appeared in front of his eyes. With his father's slow voice, little by little he saw his past and future. It turned out that the meaning of his life was so ridiculous; It turned out that he couldn't escape!

"What if I don't do this?" He asked.

But before his father could answer, he vetoed himself. He had to do it, because he was born for this. Besides, how could he bear to let it go? In that way, even if I am sorry for my father, and in the end, Xiao Xia and Wan Li, and even Bao Datong will also be in danger.

It's better to let him bear it alone!

Knowing that his father would not leave here, and knowing that because the mountain gap was not filled, it would not stop his father's evil move, Ruan Zhan left alone. There is no goodbye, because father and son will meet on that day, but will they still meet in that case?

He wandered around Goldstone for a few days before eventually going back. Although he still has to treat Xiao Xia indifferently and break her heart, but in these last days, he has to look at her, breathe her, feel her, he is reluctant to get along with her for the last time, it will be the most painful but also the happiest time in his life.
