The Exorcist

Chapter 24 Decision

"Azhan, I said that God is worthy of everyone, but I am sorry for you." Uncle Bao said with a painful tone: "But believe me, he doesn't want to do that. He tried many ways to solve this matter before, and some The method is very painful, but it still can't eliminate these evil spirits. Even now, he is still trying, just to give you a chance of survival. Now, he seems to have a time bomb hidden in his body. If he becomes a demon because of this, it will hurt you. All innocent people. He has wanted to help others his whole life, how can he bear to hurt others himself!"

"Stop talking, Uncle Bao." Ruan Zhan held Xiao Xia's hand tightly, "I understand, and I don't blame him, although I can't agree with his way. Maybe I'm too selfish and insignificant, I just want to I just want to make the person I love happy. But no matter why I was born, I am his flesh and blood after all, so - I love him, so I can do everything for him. It's just -" He turned his head, "Xiaoxia, I'm sorry."

"Why are you saying sorry to me? I support you, and I will save your life. You are mine, and I will lend you to Uncle Ruan for a while." She said it lightly, but Ruan Zhan knew that she I was also very nervous and panicked, just to reassure myself.

How lucky he was to meet such a woman!

"Let's study what to do. Let's talk to each other after we help my uncle." Wan Li, who had been silent for the whole time, said, "You have to strive for the best results in the most unfavorable situations. Isn't that what you always do? Besides, we have to be optimistic. , the result is still unknown.”

"That's true." Bao Datong hurriedly said: "But dad, what do you think the chance of uncle's survival is?"

"Are you stupid, Datong?" Uncle Bao considered the words, "Normally speaking, your Uncle Ruan is dead. What we want to save now is just his soul. We just need to find a way to completely free him. , but also to save Azhan's life. He embarked on this road and knew that he could not turn back, but I believe that he would rather pay all costs than become a perpetrator, and Azhan is his only flesh and blood, and the only debt he owes And the person you want to protect the most." Everyone was silent, it turned out that everything was settled. The miracle they want to create is just to minimize the loss.

"My father, when I was in high school, he couldn't control the bad energy he absorbed, right?" Ruan Zhan asked in a sullen voice.

Uncle Bao nodded, "At that time, the evil energy he absorbed could no longer be resolved and was about to attack. He was afraid of hurting others, especially you, so he had to fake his death. The coffin was specially made to allow him to cut off all breathing and food. Under the circumstances, he ensures that the situation gradually stabilizes and does not get worse. He uses this method to survive until the day when you encounter three difficulties."

"Then why did you carve the talisman with your body? What's the use of the crystal knife?"

"Azhan, when you saw that the illusion he gave you was red, right? That was because he was no longer able to control himself, and he showed a demonic appearance. In order to help him temporarily suppress his evil spirit, I have to cast a blood spell. But. The evil power in him is so powerful that I can only use myself as a talisman." Uncle Bao said slowly: "Sima Nan unintentionally harmed God's will, but he left behind many rare treasures. You can get it from God's hand. The three treasures he inherited were also collected by Sima Nan, including the crystal knife. Because I was afraid that the spiritual energy emanating from the knife would attract your attention when you were a child, God asked me to keep the crystal knife. Later, when he faked his death, he notified me. The crystal knife is buried with it so that you can find it later. In these days, haven't you found out what use this knife has?"

Before Ruan Zhan could speak, Xiaoxia raised Ruan Zhan's palm, pointed at the wound on it and said, "This was cut by that crystal knife. Although the bleeding has stopped for a long time, it cannot be healed."

"This is the function of this crystal knife." Uncle Bao said, "Crystals are inherently yin, and pure crystals will be invisible when placed in water. Not to mention the material of this crystal knife, if there is no reference object, It has no form when placed in mid-air, and this crystal knife has been refined with supreme magic and has extraordinary power. If you are injured by this crystal knife, the wound on the body will never heal. If it is hit on the soul, , so that the yin overcomes the yin of the sky, and the broken soul can no longer be reunited. It is the natural enemy of the soul, just like the Blood Wood Sword uses evil to fight evil, but it is sharper and tougher than the Blood Wood Sword."

"You mean to use this crystal knife to break up my uncle's soul so that he can't regroup for a second attack, and at the same time dissipate the bad energy?" Bao Datong said rashly. He was originally asking a question. Question, and everyone understands it, but no one wants to hear the answer.

This is so cruel! He gave birth to a son to deal with himself, and found the treasure so that he could kill himself! How has this old man faced his own heart over the years? What kind of suffering do you bear alone?

"We have to use this knife, but we can also think of a better way." Uncle Bao comforted the shocked children.

"Do you have any good ideas?" Wan Li was always the wisest one, so he asked the key question.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Bao shook his head, "We have tried many ways, but none of them work, so we say we need a miracle. The reason why I broke my promise to tell you this is because I want everyone to find a way together. Now There’s still half a month until that day, I hope it’s not too late!”

"Dad, how stronger is Uncle Ruan than you?" Bao Datong asked.

"He is a Taoist genius, and he worked very hard when he was young, so his magic power is much higher than mine." Uncle Bao sighed again, "What's more, those evil spirits will also increase his power, and he will definitely become a demon. Incomparably powerful, otherwise he would not have chosen to solve this matter on that day when he was the weakest and A-Zhan was the strongest. That was a once-in-a-century opportunity." He said and turned to look at Ruan Zhan, "A-Zhan , you have to remember that becoming a demon is the last thing he wants. I know this is difficult for you, but if it comes to a life-and-death situation, don't - don't be unable to take action, it will only harm him! It will harm you. ! If he had a moment of clarity and knew his ending, that would be the greatest cruelty to him! Do you understand?"

Looking at Uncle Bao's sad eyes, Ruan Zhan wanted to say something, but the word "understood" was stuck in his throat and he couldn't say it.

"Dad, then give me a special training now." Bao Datong changed the subject, "Didn't you say that you asked me to come out just to help A Zhan? Then let me do my best, and there is still half a As for Yue, I want to practice Taoism to the strongest level!"

Uncle Bao looked at his son with both reluctance and pride in his heart. This child is naturally playful and has a lively mind. The Taoist skills he has learned are all forced by him. He occasionally takes the initiative, just for fun or to show off. He did not expect to be so sensible and determined in the face of justice. God owes A Zhan, so he owes Datong. Neither of them are good fathers! Looking at his son's serious expression now, he suddenly felt that he was very lucky. At least he had a chance to make amends. When this matter was over, he must be a kind father. But what about God’s will? He has no chance! Why does he want to do good, but God doesn't give him a way to go? !

"Special training? You won't complain about it again, will you?" Uncle Bao smiled. So what if Datong is not born with good abilities? With such a heart, he can grow into a great Taoist disciple and can kill demons as well!

"Well, you're bound to complain." Bao Datong scratched his head, "But you can force me, I think I can bear it."

"What do I want to do?" Wan Li asked. He had no ability or Taoist skills, and the newly learned fire hand seal was useless, but he knew that he had a special physique and was capable of making a prop.

"It depends on the final arrangement." Uncle Bao looked at Ruan Zhan, who was silent. "This time we all listen to A Zhan's command. I have not run away in vain over the years. I have collected some housekeeping charms from reclusive Taoist masters. I think, at least these can increase the chance of winning. Now, let’s all leave and let A Zhan be quiet.”

Before he could wave, everyone else went out, including Xiaoxia. She knew that it was useless to comfort a person when he was hit. Giving him a quiet environment to calm his body and mind was the best way.

She hated Ruan Zhan's father because she caused her beloved to be hurt. She hurt his heart when he was a child, hurt his body when he grew up, and even took his life. She felt that the old man was very selfish, but after hearing Uncle Bao's story, she couldn't tell whether Father Ruan was great or selfish. It was not his intention to cause today's situation. At first, he just wanted to save his master, and then he wanted to save those suffering people. Finally, he wanted to kill himself without others knowing, and take away the evil with himself, but he found that It can't be done!

He never thought about asking for anything in return, and he never thought about implicate others, but in fact, he harmed the people closest to him. There is no closer relationship than father and son, no closer than husband and wife. She has reason to blame Ruan's father for what happened to Ruan Zhan, but as an ordinary person, she sympathizes with the old man and wants to help him. In her opinion, what the old man is afraid of is not that he will become a demon, but probably that he will harm others, including his own relatives, after becoming a demon.

Vaguely, she felt that the old man loved Ruan Zhan. The reason why he was indifferent to Ruan Zhan was because he knew that one day, father and son would fight like enemies, fighting to the death. He was afraid that Ruan Zhan would not be able to do anything to him after he had feelings. Hand? ! At that moment, the old man is about to become a demon and has completely lost his mind. He will not be polite to Ruan Zhan. The sad thing is Ruan Zhan, who understands everything but has to take action!

Thinking of this, her heart ached again. Ruan Zhan is so pitiful. He was born to shoulder this heavy mission. How does he cope with this? How to decide? He has never received any warmth since he was a child, and now he has to pay the price for all this! She really wished she could suffer on his behalf, but she couldn't! All she can do is to be his guardian angel and keep him safe. If something unexpected happens to him, whether it's a relationship between a human and a ghost, or whether she chases him back, she will never let him go. She will never let him go. , Never let him go! He is the love she finally caught!

Thinking of this, she could face it calmly. When Bao Datong saw her actions, he was very impressed. He thought that the woman would cry and scream at this time, begging the man not to leave, or be shocked. Unexpectedly, Xiaoxia, like a normal person, even hummed a song while preparing lunch for him.

"You are such a strange woman, why didn't you stop him?" he asked curiously.

The two days of special training had tortured him enough. He didn't know what Ruan Zhan would be like after his father became a devil. He only knew that his father was already a devil now. In the past, he always complained that his father forced him to learn Taoism, but compared with these days, those days were like heaven. In the past, his father did not force him at all. Raising him was indeed like herding sheep, it was completely laissez-faire!

Now, he has no leisure time twenty-four hours a day, and he has to practice spiritual power and mental methods in his dreams during the pitiful four hours of sleep every day. This makes him unable to lie down and fall asleep, and his physical fatigue cannot be relieved at all. During the day, various Taoist practices made his hands and feet weak, and the fighting practice with his father left him covered in bruises. He could only eat one very light meal every day, and only during these fifteen minutes could he rest. Therefore, even though Xiaoxia's cooking skills are extremely low, he is very happy at this time of day. After all, he has something to eat and drink, and he can sit and talk for a while.

"If I stop him, it will only make things difficult for him. Since I love him, why should I force him? Even if he is willing to make concessions for me, he will never be happy in this life. Why do I want an unhappy man by my side? Are you going to live your whole life awkwardly with him?" Xiaoxia handed him Bao Datong's meal and looked at his face that had lost a lot of weight in just a few days. "I support him. When he comes back, he will think of this in his life. Everyone will feel how generous and sensible I am, and they will only love me more. It is obvious which choice is beneficial to me."

"Well said! Smart! Right choice!" Bao Datong praised him. He took a mouthful of rice. He was obviously very hungry. He even ate this kind of food with relish. "When we come back from Tietou Mountain, I want to dig up A Zhan." corner, why haven’t I seen a pearl like yours before? I missed it in vain.”

"Tch, who cares about you!" Knowing that he was joking, Xiaoxia still couldn't help but retort, "Didn't you say that? The quality of a woman is important, but the quantity requirements are also indispensable, so I won't give you the numbers. Here!" After she said that, she ran to the door and opened it for Wan Li.

Lately, Yeguiren has completely closed down its business, because the Bao family and his son have to go in and out many times a day, and they also need space in the place where they practice. Fortunately, their actual training will be done in the dead of night, in a wilderness place, otherwise the house will be demolished. . Ruan Zhan just sits in meditation every day, not knowing what he is doing or thinking. Xiaoxia didn't dare to disturb him, and the two of them didn't have any time alone together. She didn't mind this, she wanted to be with him forever, and didn't care about these few days, but she tasted the taste of lovesickness, and finally understood what it meant to be so close to the end of the world, that feeling of being visible but unable to get close was really feeling bad. Even though he was thousands of miles away, he had no free time. He was busy arranging things for the clinic. He finally finished the work today and planned to learn spells with Uncle Bao. He said it well: sharpening a gun in battle will make it bright even if it is not bright! The stronger he is, the more chance Ruan Zhan has to save his life.

Compared to them, Xiaoxia is the most leisurely, so although she is calm on the surface and seems to be facing her fate quietly, she is the only one who has nothing to do, so she can feel the time approaching day by day very clearly. .

Finally, that day was coming, and a group of five people came to Jinshi Town one day in advance and stayed at the hotel where the God of Gamblers He Fugui died suddenly.
