Chapter 16: Three Days of Life

They waited until dawn in the bamboo hut, and when they were about to leave in the morning, they saw a group of mountain people approaching the place surrounded by a strangely dressed man. When I asked, I realized that they had come from there. Because the owner of this shop is also from the village, and the store has been haunted a few days ago, the owner and his family of three went back to the village to ask Dao Gong to exorcise evil spirits.

When Xiao Xia saw the shopkeeper's family, she was so frightened that she almost screamed out. Isn't that the same three people from last night? It's just that the little girl is gentle and delicate, and the shopkeeper and his wife are honest and kind, which is very different from the fierce and weird last night, and then I remembered that Ruan Zhan said yesterday that the three ghosts were illusions.

Ruan Zhan told these people that they were eco-travelers and wanted to visit the village. He also said that nothing happened last night, only a few wild cats came and made a mess of the room. As for Wan Li, it is said that he is infected with wind and cold, and he is currently unconscious.

The people in the mountains are simple and hospitable, and when they heard that the visitors were in trouble and had come to them for a trip, they warmly invited them to go up the mountain. And when Dao Gong tossed a lot in the wild shop, Wanli woke up.

On the way back to the village, Xiao Xia kept peeking at Wanli's expression, and saw that he seemed as if nothing had happened, as if he had slept and had a nightmare that he couldn't remember.

This made her feel a little uneasy and ominous in her heart, because Ruan Zhan didn't tell her if she had chased the 'Gu suspect' after she came back, and Wan Li's improvement was too inexplicable.

After arriving at the village, they were arranged to live in the village chief's house. In the afternoon, Xiao Xia didn't know where to go, and Wan Li took the opportunity to discuss what happened in Yedian with Ruan Zhan.

"Don't tell me this mountain village ghost is just an accident!" Wanli lay on the edge of the wide wooden window, enjoying the scenery of the mountains and forests opposite the wooden building of the village chief's house.

Ruan Zhan didn't speak.

I can figure it out with my toes that the person they want to investigate must have come out to stir up the situation. However, listening to the village chief, the shop began to be unclean a few days ago, and the other party was either skilled enough to control it remotely, or it was the first to come. Judging by the hardships of their journey along the way, the only way to do this is through space-time warping.

And the premise of casting the space-time warping technique is that there must be purposeful information, that is, the caster must have been to this place, so that it can be inferred that 'Yang Muyou' has been here, lived here, and even has a great relationship with this place!

"And what's going on with that black liquid?" Wanli asked again.

"That's Gu, you've been tricked by Gu!"

"It's fine!"

"What do you mean it's okay?" Ruan Zhan was a little annoyed, he was going to die in a hurry for the accident of Wanli, he actually said that it was okay?

"Anyway, their purpose is to deal with us, if they don't succeed, I don't know what tricks they have to come up with?" It's okay' means that fortunately I was tricked, if it was Xiao Xiazhong, I would feel distressed, if it was you, then who would 'protect' me in the future? Wan Li winked mischievously.

"Don't be numb!"

"It seems that this Gu is very powerful, you have rarely been so irritable since you were a child." Wanli chuckled, "Tell me how powerful it is?" ”

Ruan Zhan frowned habitually, "I'm not good at Gu arts, so, I don't know!" ”

"Wow, don't be so straightforward, it's better to give the patient a little confidence, you should always understand this psychological hint, right? Didn't you guess that Gu magic was once prevalent here, and you deliberately made up for the knowledge of Gu arts? ”

"Gu art is a secret art, it has been almost extinct in recent years, I know very little, and the opponent this time is not simple, I haven't even heard of the Gu technique he casts. On the way here just now, I asked the Taoist priest. ”

"I said how did you talk to him all the way, I thought it was the experience of the North and South gods exchanging deceptions!" Wan Li always likes to be sarcastic about Ruan Zhan, this is a habit he has developed since he was a child, and he doesn't feel it himself.

"Can't you waste a word?"

"Haha, I see you gave him money, I hope your money is worth the ticket price."

"I also inquired a little bit about things. The man was believed to be a water ghost, and the shoes with flowers embroidered on every piece of cloth were worn by the bride when she got married. ”

"That is, the ghost was still a bride when he died! It's pathetic. Wan Li sighed, but smiled again in an instant, "I've already heard from Xiao Xia's mouth about your feat of 'talking and laughing, and forcibly destroying the ashes'." It's a pity I didn't see it, every time I look at you, you are flattened and hugging your head, this contrast is too great! ”

"But he can actually control plants to pretend to be zombies, this is not an ordinary Gu technique, originally I thought he would use ghost Gu would be good."

"Who is he? Huang Boheng is still Yang Muyou, or there are others. ”

"I don't know."

"You will say these three words, what the hell is that, where did you know that?"

Ruan Zhan groaned for a moment, but still told him about his pursuit of that strange man last night.

It turned out that after he saw the worn-out flower shoes behind the fallen tree, he chased all the way down the very faint breath in the rain, and finally he caught an unkempt strange man, and he still can't be sure whether the strange man is a man or a woman, and can only feel the strangeness of the strange body breath of the strange man.

At that time, he was about to ask if the person who went down to Gu was him, and how to solve the Gu, but the strange man kept shouting to him, "He can give Gu to ghosts, he can give Gu to ghosts!" A ghost Gu that people can't get rid of even if they die! Then remind him that if he doesn't go back, both people in the store will die.

Somehow, Ruan Zhan believed that what he said was true, because he didn't feel malice, and just as he hesitated, the weirdo suddenly broke free of him and quickly disappeared!

At this time, Ruan Zhan sensed Xiao Xia's danger, so he stepped back.

Later, he asked that Dao Gong again, and knew that the ghost Gu was a secret technique that only existed in legends, and it was placed on the body of the newly deceased, and from then on, that person's ghost would not be reincarnated, but would only be used by the person who had fallen into the Gu. Of course, the specific details are only known to those who know such a secret technique. As for the Gu technique of controlling plants, that Dao Gong had never even heard of it.

What he told Ruan Zhan under the power of money, except for the matter of the ghost Gu, there was nothing more valuable than what Ruan Zhan checked himself!

"This is called the will of heaven in the dark, every time you encounter such a difficult thing, you have to release your ability, and you have to cultivate."

"Aren't you worried about the Gu poison in you? No one knows what it is, I can't figure it out, and I haven't chased down the Gu man, and even the witnesses have been lost! ”

"It's useless to worry, it's the worst emotion, but it's okay to go to war. That bastard hiding behind the scenes made me controlled and almost hurt Natsu, and I want revenge. Although Ruan Zhan's tone was calm, Wan Li could hear the anxiety in his heart, and none of the friends from childhood to adulthood could hide anything from each other. When he saw Ruan Zhan's tightly knit brows and the silence that was getting more than usual, he knew that his situation was not good, "I just don't understand why I lost consciousness, I heard that Zhong Gu is silent." ”

"That Gu isn't meant to deal with you, I guess he wants to hurt one by one. Besides, I've checked the breath of your body, that Gu doesn't want to kill, it wants to control people. But although you bastard looks casual on the outside, it is actually a stone in the pit, smelly and hard, you must have inadvertently resisted, and your yang energy is extremely vigorous, and the two rush to each other, so you will pretend to be dead and pretend to be thorough! ”

Wan Li recalled for a while, and felt that there was a hot and cold breath that kept rushing into his head, and he wanted to press it hard at that time, but it caused severe pain in his body, and then he didn't wake up!

"It seems that this Gu is difficult to solve, right? Or is there no solution, right? Wan Li suddenly asked, "Let's be honest, I can see how weird this Gu is, now you have to tell me the truth." ”

"I'll find that jungle freak, there's going to be a way."

"So how long it takes, there's always a deadline."

"You don't have to worry about it!"

"Come on, I'm a big man, I don't need you to hide the truth, tell me!" Wanli asked, with a rare seriousness on his face.

Ruan Zhan hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell him, because they had faced too many things together, and he firmly believed that this time would be the same.

"Judging by your body's breath - three days, you only have three days to live!"

Three days? Seventy-two hours? Four thousand three hundred and twenty minutes? Two hundred fifty-nine thousand two hundred seconds? Is this the time when his life in the prime of life is about to wither?

Wan Li was silent for a while, because his face was facing out of the window, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, but his voice was still calm, "It turns out that I have three days to live, but I remember that your father said that I was a long-lived appearance." ”

"My dad also said that if you are too curious, you will meet with trouble." Ruan Zhan gritted his teeth, "But I won't let you die!" You have borrowed money from me many times and never paid it back; You drive my car indiscriminately, never refuel, and don't fix it when it is broken; You're still robbing women with me! I won't let you die, first pay off so many of my debts! ”

"Woman? Did you say Konatsu? ”

"I said Nana!"

"Haha, you said Nana!" Wan Li turned his head, and there was no panic on his face because of the impending death, but a little helplessness and sadness, "That's a gentleman's dispute!" ”

"You're snatching love with a knife!"

"Come on, you don't like her much, but women chase men, interlayer yarn, you are young and vigorous, and you can't stand the temptation. Nana is so beautiful, and your vanity is satisfied. ”

Ruan Zhan was silent for a while, recalling the past, and couldn't help but smile, "Also, that's her choice." ”

"However, don't worry, I won't rob Xiaoxia with you." Wanli turned his face back again, "I thought about it before, but not now, because I still have three days to live." He shrugged his shoulders and pretended not to care, "I'm not like some people, I feel that I am dying, I must confess, that is not a psychological burden on the other party." It's not peaceful to die, it's ruthless enough! ”

"I'm not going to let you die!" Ruan Zhan gritted his teeth as soon as he mentioned this question.

"Come on, you and I both know that there is a kind of Gu, which is a Death Gu, unless the person who gave the Gu is dead, it can't be solved. There are three days left, and there is not much chance. Wan Li smiled bitterly, "It's false to say that you are not afraid, but it is useless to be afraid, men, you always have to face reality." But then I can at least fulfill Natsu's wish. ”

"Her wish?"

"yes. Once I asked her what kind of love she wanted, guess what she said? ”

Ruan Zhan lowered his head and didn't look at Wanli, afraid that he would reveal the secret in his heart at the mention of Xiao Xia, but he still wanted to hear it in his heart.

"She said—" Wan Li smiled, "she is so stupid, no woman can say this, especially now that a woman is so snobbish." She says she wants someone who loves her very, very much, but never let her know! ”

"She's like that, she thinks life is a dream!"

"But now her dream can come true, and I can do it for her. I thought—I love her. ”
