The Exorcist

Chapter 16 Back then

In order to take revenge, they had been hiding in the dark for many years and peeping. Although they did not understand why Ruan Tianyi sent his son away, when he brought his son back, they could still see that the dead Taoist priest loved his son very much. Back then, they also wanted to find the child and kill him for revenge. Unfortunately, Ruan Tianyi hid his son somewhere where others could not find him. They finally waited for the five-year-old Ruan Zhan to come back, but they did not dare to get too close.

Others may not know it, but they know it very well. This dead Taoist priest cares very much about his son and is always alert to any unusual movements around him. Even if the mother and son in the ancient house in the town unexpectedly cause trouble, Ruan Tianyi can rush back quickly.

In this case, how dare they take action? Later, their father and son separated again. It was already very hard for them to keep an eye on the older one, so how could they bother to look for the younger one? But accidentally, or by God's will, they met Ruan Zhan through Yue Xiaoxia, and recognized him at a glance as the child from back then.

However, he has become too powerful, far beyond their ability to compete! But they were too reckless. They should not have revealed the news about Ruan Tianyi just to escape in a hurry. They should have pretended not to know and waited until everything was arranged before notifying Ruan Zhan. At that time, they were the ones sitting aside to watch the show. Maybe they could get revenge without paying the price of their souls, and they didn't have to become prey in Ruan Zhan's hands like they did now.

To say or not to say? Do they have a choice?

The evil spirits looked at each other, and seeing that Ruan Zhan still had a determined attitude, he ignored them and winked at each other. They have been together for many years, and they have an indescribable tacit understanding with each other. They understood each other's meaning with just one glance. At the same time, their bodies suddenly rose, turning into two black smoke, flashing and moving in mid-air.

Above the open space of the gravel field, there seemed to be several strong winds coming from different directions, rolling the two black smoke in all directions. Seeing that the black smoke with strange red threads was about to rush into the sky, it was blocked again. It was pressed down alive, as if it encountered an irreversible airflow above!

It was the same from front to back, left and right, even when the black smoke hit the ground and made a "bang" sound like thunder, it still turned back as usual!

Ruan Zhan looked at it coldly, completely indifferent. Just in case, he took all the magic weapons left by his father with him. However, the strength of these two evil spirits was much different from the evil spirits he had encountered before. They could only be compared to the scholar who was involved in the supernatural incident for the first time. And with his current rapidly improving skills, there is no need to use magic weapons to deal with them, not to mention the murderous but extremely strong formation left by Master Long.

This formation is not a barrier. If he doesn't remove the talismans on the formation's eyes, these two evil spirits will not be able to break out of the formation even if they fight until the oil is exhausted, and there is no need for him to take action. However, he also had some hesitation in his heart. If these two villains just refused to tell his father's secret, would he really let them disappear into ashes?

What would happen to them? His cold, emotionless heart was not affected at all. These two villains had done all kinds of bad things. This could be seen from the black energy swirling around their bodies. They were completely unworthy of death. What he was worried about was That secret will disappear with the disappearance of these two evil spirits.

Now the competition is about who can restrain the other party. The one who reveals it in advance will definitely lose this non-spell, but a battle of minds!

"It's useless, save your energy!" Looking at the two puffs of black smoke that gradually slowed down after struggling for a while, and seeing that their re-transformed women's figures were somewhat transparent, Ruan Zhan said softly, sounding like a friend. The advice is not like that of the two opposing parties, "This way, it will be even more uncomfortable when you see the sun."

"The surname is Ruan! You and your son will not die well!" Tianzu was panting and scolding him bitterly.

They had tried their best and finally gave up at this point. No matter how hard they fight, they can't escape!

"What did our father and son do to provoke you?" Ruan Zhan took the opportunity to ask.

Sancun Jinlian's eyes flashed, and she knew that these problems were not secrets, so she didn't stop Tianzu and let her talk.

"You father and son are fake Taoists, none of them are good!"

"Oh, I want to ask for advice?" Ruan Zhan was not angry at all, "But if you can't tell me that you are ugly, I guarantee that you will die more painfully. You can also try the feeling of being refined into a soul essence. Let you Do you know if I am a fake Taoist or a real evil person!"

"Am I still making false accusations against your damn father?" Tianzu snorted coldly, "Now that things have happened, I have nothing to hide. Do you know who we are?"

"Do I need to know who you are?"

Tianzu snorted again. Because his mana was too much, he adjusted his breathing before telling them their origins.

It turns out that during the Republic of China, she was a female actor in a small theatrical troupe. Once when she went to Ruan Zhan's hometown to sing, she met a famous prostitute from a local brothel. Because this famous prostitute loved opera, the two became good friends. , that famous prostitute is the Three-inch Golden Lotus.

Because of the help of this powerful brothel friend, and because of their popularity, the troupe stayed in the local area for a while, but one day they were spotted by a wealthy businessman from a neighboring town, and they were both taken as concubines.

The days to come will be relaxed and comfortable. Anyway, whether they are famous prostitutes in brothels or stage actors, being able to marry into a wealthy family and become a child, leading a life of fine clothing and fine food, without having to wander around in the world, is a kind of destination for them. . But this life did not last long. When the country was liberated, the wealthy businessman ran away with his wife and children, leaving these two helpless concubines in the town, accompanying the two women's panic in their hearts. Just a big house and quite a lot of money.

Life is barely getting by, but fortunately, two people who love opera are dependent on each other, and they can endure it slowly, for one year, five years, or more than ten years - I want to spend the rest of my life peacefully. However, two women who are despised by the world, with huge wealth hidden around them, will attract countless bad guys with ulterior motives to covet them. Finally, at the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, they couldn't escape. Too many sanctimonious people in the town were thinking about the wealth. They used many excuses to force them to hand over the money, insulting, beating, teasing, and mutilating them. ―――

For women who have nothing left, and for old women who have a sense of insecurity, money is their only reliance, so they are overly attached to this thing, and they insist on refusing to say anything until those who stand in the name of justice The banner men threatened to kill one of them, and the other revealed the place where the wealth was hidden, and the ending was - for fear of leaking the secret, the men strangled the two half-old women to death, and declared to the outside world that they were " Suicide out of fear of crime."

Two straw mats and two pits ended their lives. How could they be willing to leave, how could they let go? ! As a result, the murderous souls began to take revenge, frantically looking for the person who killed them, making the whole town restless. But when they finally caught up with the two murderers who ran to a neighboring town with the help of a tea vendor, they found that a man named Ruan Tianyi had protected the two murderers.

They were full of hatred and grudges, but Ruan Tianyi kept urging them to put down their hatred and let those two people be punished by the laws of the world. Rather than repaying grievances, it would be better to have a brighter future! Putting aside the chaotic social order back then, which made it impossible for them to believe that evil will be punished, even in today's legal society, how can they let go?

Therefore, the result of the dispute between the two parties is a legal battle. They were just ghosts back then, with no magic at all. They only acted with the power of thought and resentment. Of course, they were forcibly detained by Ruan Tianyi without even passing a single move. But at this time, the two bastards who killed people and took money ran away, and Ruan Tianyi had to imprison them in a golden bell and lead them to chase them. But maybe it was a trick of fate. On the way, a thief mistakenly thought that the golden bell was pure gold. He stole the golden bell while Ruan Tian was not prepared and ran away far away.

Back then, they were also pressed for time, fearing that Ruan Tianyi would find them again before the restriction expired, and then they would not be able to escape. But they won that time. I don't know when Ruan Tianyi found them. Anyway, when he found them, he would only see the frightened body of the thief. The two of them had already gone away.

Only this time, they couldn't beat the time, and Ruan Tianyi's son didn't give them the chance to arrange everything. What is hateful is that they have trained from ghosts to evil spirits, but they still can't beat Ruan Tianyi's powerful son. The most important thing is that Ruan Zhan doesn't look like his father. He is a soft-hearted, even pedantic, good man who always pays attention to the law of heaven and mercy. He is determined and ruthless when facing his enemies, and he doesn't even blink an eye when he is ruthless.

"It sounds like my father did nothing wrong." Ruan Zhan felt very uneasy when he heard about his father's past, but he forced himself not to show any abnormality and said slowly, "Is this the grudge you are talking about? These two women are really stingy, they are obsessed with one idea and they deserve a bad end."

"What did you say?" Tianzu was furious, revealing the ugly appearance hidden under the Peking Opera mask, "He didn't care about the truth, didn't distinguish between good and evil, and put our two victims to death. Isn't it a heinous crime?! Isn't it a heinous crime?! Those who killed us were excusable, so we deserved to be killed, just because we are actors and bitches?!"

Ruan Zhan didn't want to explain, because he knew it would be useless. The evil pair in front of him were completely irrational. But having said that, what my father did back then was really naive. How could this kind of hatred be easily resolved? Those two murderers must have found a way to deceive their father, and the evil pair clearly used extraordinary methods when hunting down other enemies, putting everyone in the town in danger. This also provided evidence for the lies of those two men. Added a footnote, maybe that’s why my father was fooled!

Recalling his father's kindness to the pair of demon boys, he began to understand that the father he thought was serious, steady, and aloof, under the vicissitudes of life and majestic mask, was actually so soft-hearted, gullible, and holding this complicated and dirty child. The innocent dream of making the dirty world clear and peaceful.

Father and son have known each other for more than ten years, and only at this moment do they seem to understand each other!

"It's not because of your background that he treated you like that. He often said that all living beings are equal, and a person is no more noble than a worm. He doesn't want to refine you, he just wants to lock you up and forcibly resolve your hatred." Ruan Zhan still endured it. He couldn't help but explain, "Whether you believe it or not, that's it. But why are you doing these things now?"

The two evil spirits looked at each other and shut up at the same time, as if they were still considering whether to speak out.

"It's okay if you don't tell them, let's watch the sunrise together." Ruan Zhan glanced in the direction of the pair of evil spirits, his eyes penetrated the illusion and drifted to the mountain crevice behind them.

From the evil tone of the pair, Ruan Zhan could tell that they had transferred their hatred of their enemies to their father because he had prevented them from taking revenge. Combined with other clues, it is not difficult to see that they found He Fugui, helped him get money, and then developed this barren mountain with no minerals at all to deal with their father. Is my father in this mountain, or are they planning to lure him here?

So, should he kill them to eliminate harm, or use them to lure his father? Does the father know about the evil pair's behavior? Why does the evil spirit seem to despise this matter when he talks about it? Apart from the mistakes he made out of kindness, what else has his father done?

He didn't want to see his father, but there was an indescribable desire in his heart, and he wanted to ask clearly about Feng Sanzhi, because now he didn't want to succumb to fate, he wanted to struggle, he wanted to break away from the mercy of fate, and be with Xiaoxia Together.

But no matter what his decision is, he must adopt a tough attitude, otherwise he will not get any information and may lose in this battle between heart and strength. They said: Boy, you also have a price to pay, maybe it will be bigger! I wonder how you will face your father on that day? I wonder if you would say that when you see your father’s retribution!

Thinking of this, he seemed to adjust the angle of his sitting position leisurely, and then lay down half-ly, facing the mountains to the east, as if he really wanted to watch the sunrise.

The two evil spirits also tensed up and stood motionless in the trapped formation, but they felt extremely uneasy in their hearts. They understood that Ruan Zhan wanted to force them to ask what they were doing in Tietou Mountain. But if they say it now, I'm afraid it won't achieve the harm they want. If Ruan Zhan discovers the truth before he is ready, then their father and son may still be able to save the situation!

Originally, they only wanted to deal with Ruan Tianyi, but after discovering Ruan Zhan, they hoped that their father and son would meet at the most critical moment. What would it be like to see Ruan Tianyi exposed as "evil" in front of his son? This fake Taoist would feel even more uncomfortable, and he might kill his own son when he couldn't control himself. He loves his son so much, what will happen when he wakes up? What a wonderful revenge it would be for them to kill each other, father and son!

Ruan Tianyi insisted on preventing them from taking revenge and wanted to refine them, so he should receive the maximum punishment!

If they tell Ruan Zhan, they may help their father solve the problem and ruin the opportunity they have waited for. But if they don't tell, they will immediately be subjected to the torture that their souls fear most - facing the sun. At that time, they would have no chance to see Ruan Tianyi's retribution!

What to do?

In the silence between both parties, the sky gradually became brighter. Ruan Zhan was extremely anxious in his heart, but on the surface he was as peaceful as if he was asleep. He could feel the hesitation, unwillingness and fear of the evil pair, and he was worried that they would fight to the end. At that time, would he really let them disappear into ashes and take away their secrets with them?

"We won't say anything." Three-inch Golden Lotus tried.

The white fish belly on the horizon has been dyed with a beautiful ray of red, as if a golden light is about to rise.

"It's very good. I'll check it out myself. It just takes a little effort!" Although he almost jumped up and wanted to put away these two evil spirits for later interrogation, he still managed to endure it and kept his tone. The light and refreshing smell gives the opponent a strong sense of oppression.

There was no reply, only a humming, non-human whisper. Ruan Zhan's palms were sweating, but he insisted on not turning around to take a look. He saw the golden light getting longer and brighter, slowly climbing from the top of the mountain, and then penetrated the morning mist like a mighty golden arrow. Directly shooting towards the human world, the world suddenly became brighter!

"Ah -" the two evil spirits screamed in horror at the same time, but they still couldn't hold on at the last moment, "He is the most evil person in the world. He came here to vent all the evil in his body. We are filling the mountain to Don’t let him do it!”
