The Exorcist

Chapter 34 Leaving

"What?!" Bao Datong was shocked. He saw Ruan Zhan's chest turned red in a shocking way. He subconsciously turned his head and looked at Xiaoxia, who was still in a dazed state. "What should I do? Where is A Zhan's soul?"

"In order to protect him, God suppressed his soul in his body." Uncle Bao said, "Now his body is dead, but his soul is in a coma."

"This - what does this mean?"

"Datong, you know that if a person's body dies, his soul cannot be forcibly attached to it. In that case, the body will still rot. But Azhan's situation is different. His soul is pressed into his body by God's will. , that is to say, his soul has not escaped from the body, and his body will not be broken."

"You mean - can he be resurrected?" Bao Datong was surprised and happy.

Uncle Bao was stunned for a long time and shook his head in embarrassment. "Theoretically, this is true because his soul has not left and was not forcibly retained, so his body does not rot and there is a possibility of resurrection. But in fact, his heart If it is broken, medical treatment cannot save his body, nor can he. Besides, his soul cannot be comatose in the body for a long time without waking up. Once he wakes up, his life is truly gone. In other words, when he wakes up, That’s when he actually died.”

"How long?" Bao Datong asked, "Neither of us are medical experts. Maybe we should take him to the hospital for a checkup. The question is how long his soul can stay awake!"

Uncle Bao leaned down and carefully checked Ruan Zhan's aura, "His soul will wake up in no more than ten days." He stopped talking, recalled the scene at that time, and sighed again, "I understand. At the last moment, the family relationship between father and son defeated the remaining evil thoughts, and God made the choice to protect his son and abandon himself at that moment. When the crystal knife shattered, the evil spirit of God was completely shaken out, With his skill, there is no problem if he wants to protect himself, but at this time, as long as he is a father, he will leave the chance of life to his son. There is nothing to say. But that formation is too powerful, and the momentum of the crystal knife fragments is too It’s so fierce, so he couldn’t save A Zhan’s body despite all his soul. Or maybe he wanted to keep his son’s soul to see if a miracle would happen in the last ten days. Right?”

He suddenly asked, but instead of facing Bao Datong, he spoke to the string of beads strung with silver water lines in his hand. The strange thing is that the beads seemed to be conscious. When they heard Uncle Bao's question, the silver thread on the beads glowed faintly, seeming to agree.

Bao Datong was startled: "Dad, is this-?"

"Your Uncle Ruan has passed away, but I didn't say he was wiped out. The silver thread you see is made up of his souls. Fortunately, what is preserved is his conscious soul, which shows his heart Even though he is not dead, he still wants to save his son, and then take these evil spirits to the endless hell, which will eventually be resolved."

Only then did Bao Datong notice that the bad energy had not been resolved, but was split into temporarily harmless fragments. "When you calculated Azhan's fate at that time, what was his miracle?"

"If there is, if not." Uncle Bao smiled bitterly, "So this is uncertain. Although it depends on people, I have heard of heart bypass surgery and so on, but I have never heard of anything like repairing such a badly damaged heart. Doctors can do it.”

"Can spells work?"

"As far as I know, no." Uncle Bao was filled with regret. He can see through life and death, but he is afraid that he will not be able to fulfill his old friend's last wish. "Perhaps God will grant Azhan a miracle. After all, when the battle is in danger, God's will suddenly wakes up. It is also God's mercy."

Bao Datong said nothing, only looked down at Ruan Zhan, and saw that his face was as white as paper. Although his chest was no longer bleeding, his whole body was as fragile as if he could die in the wind at any time. Miracles are easy to say, and it seems promising to save his life, but where is the miracle? How to do it.

"How is Wanli?" he asked without looking back.

"We used Wanli's body to apply magic power to the spiritual net. He is not a cultivator, and he cannot bear this kind of power. Moreover, he is closest to the center of the Jue Formation and will suffer the greatest impact. I guess He's going to be in a coma for a while."

"It's good that he's not dead." Bao Datong said easily, as if he was happy that Wan Li was injured, but he was also very worried about his friend.

"He will be very uncomfortable, but he can't tell. When he is unconscious, you can torture him at any time, just in time for revenge." Uncle Bao looked at Bao Datong dotingly, "Didn't you say that he always quarrels with you? Now you can scold him as much as you want, and he won’t be able to talk back.”

Growing up, although his father appeared gentle, he rarely pampered him. Now when his father said this, it was like an unreasonable father standing up for his son, which made Bao Datong feel a little embarrassed, "I'm not that stingy." He scratched his head and took his father's hand again, trying to help him. He stood up, but when he reached out, his hand passed through his father's body. His father's body turned out to be just a shadow!

Bao Datong was shocked and froze on the spot. He has practiced Taoism since he was a child and has dealt with countless ghosts and gods, so he understands what this means. When he came back here just now, he was shocked by the scene and didn't pay attention to anything. Now that he thought about it, his father was able to come to Ruan Zhan so quickly even though he was seriously injured, and he could also hold Uncle Ruan's soul string. The evil spirits that arise are all abnormal, they are all nothingness. Also, it seems that there is always someone lying next to Wan Li. Who is it if he is not his father?

"Datong. That's how you are as a child. If you see something you don't like, you won't see it. Do you understand that this is escaping from reality?" Uncle Bao said softly.

"I don't understand." Bao Datong replied quickly, looking particularly willful.

"Datong, look at me, I'm already——"

"I don't want to look!" Even though he said this, he didn't dare to look up, but his nose felt sore and tears fell down.

"Datong, you stupid boy, how can you feel relieved when you call me like this? Look up at me, I will be leaving soon, show me your face, now we will be separated forever." Uncle Bao pretended to be calm and said.

Bao Datong burst into tears. He had never cried like this since he was a child. The moment his father was about to leave, he realized how reluctant he was to leave. Why have you never been filial to him? Why had he never listened to his words? He had never even told his father that he loved him very much.

"You have to remember, I don't regret anything I did for your Uncle Ruan today. We have known each other since childhood. At that time, we were both street children and almost starved to death in that troubled world. It is because of you, Uncle Ruan, that I He came back alive. When there was food, he always gave it to me first. When I injured my foot, he would carry me all the way. He helped me block evil dogs and evil people from bullying us. He always said, if there is no such thing in this world, What a good evil person. To me, he is a person I have known since I can remember. He is not only a friend, but also my brother. Later, we apprenticed together to learn Taoism, but we separated because we followed different masters, and then we stayed together. We have been separated for a long time, but this time, our brothers have been together forever. This is called a beginning and an end. You should be happy for me." Uncle Bao caressed his son's head, but did not touch it, and passed by in vain, "You have to know, people In this life, friends and brothers are very important. Fortunately, you are thousands of miles away. If you can save A Zhan, he will be your friend for the rest of your life. You must cherish it. Unfortunately, I did not love you well. "

"No, Dad, you love me very much, it's me who doesn't live up to your expectations."

"Nonsense, you are very proud of yourself." Uncle Bao scolded his son lovingly.

At this moment, he suddenly understood his old friend's heart. He once thought he had a chance to make up for the love he owed to his son, and thought he could enjoy the love between father and son, but he lost the chance in the end. "You are not born with any talents, but you can cultivate to such an extent. It's amazing! After I leave, you must practice diligently. You know that our group is not taboo about women. In the future, we will ask a good girl to be our wife. Do you understand? ? Don’t just look at looks, but also take care of—"

"Dad, please don't leave. Didn't Uncle Ruan stay in the earthly world for a long time?" Bao Datong interrupted his father.

"Datong, don't be disobedient. Your uncle Ruan didn't leave because he had unfinished business. But I am going to hell with my brother. What regrets do I have? I have a son like you, so what can't I let go of? Let's practice Taoism Yes, it is about nature and nature, so you have to think openly. I am leaving this time to help your Uncle Ruan resolve these evil spirits. Maybe, a hundred years from now, our father and son may not have met each other." Uncle Bao said uncertainly, "Datong, raise your head, don't cry like a girl. Now Wanli is unconscious and can't move. It's unknown whether Azhan can be resurrected. Only Xiaoxia is left. What can a girl do without anyone to help her? You have to be strong. , don’t let me leave without peace of mind.”

Bao Datong knew that his father was right, and he also knew that all this could not be undone, but he just couldn't stop the tearing pain in his heart, and wanted to hold his father's hand without letting go. See through? It's easy to say that although they practice, they are just helping the world to kill demons. After all, they are mortals, how can they be so open-minded? ! But this is his father's wish. Since he has never done anything to make his father proud, he can at least pretend to be strong now.

At this time, Xiaoxia woke up.

The moment she woke up, the look Ruan Zhan gave her and the words he said with slightly moving lips suddenly broke into her mind, causing the heart-rending pain to penetrate from the top of her head to the soles of her feet. She got up and saw Ruan Zhan lying on the ground from a distance, and a huge fear arose in her heart, as if the end of the world was coming.

She stumbled over and ran over. When she saw Ruan Zhan standing as silent as a sculpture, her mind became confused and she rushed over to check his body.

His face was cold, and the steady beating in his chest completely disappeared. The lonely eyes that always made her feel pity were tightly closed, and the corners of his resolute mouth now showed a relaxed arc. Is he too tired? Is his life too hard? But he said he would love her forever, so why did he leave?

"Wake up." She shook his hand. "I have declared my sovereignty and stamped it. Now you are mine. You are not allowed to leave without my permission. If you hear me, please wake up." Come here. If you dare to die and leave me, I will hate you. I swear that I will hate you. I will hate you until the end of the world. I will hate you until the end of the world and the afterlife of the next life! I swear that I will hate you. I will do it!" Finally, she shouted, tears streaming down her face, and her heart was broken. Without him, what’s the meaning of life? Who listens to her jokes, who stays with her until late at night, and who can make her so tempted that she wants to give him a home and love him like this all the time? She doesn't want anyone but him!

She seemed to have lost her mind and wanted to move his body, but Bao Datong stopped him and hugged him.

"Let me go! I want him to wake up. I hate him! I hate him!"

"Shhhhh, listen to me, don't cry yet." Xiaoxia's sadness temporarily diverted Bao Datong's pain of losing his father. In order to calm her down, or give her a reason to live, he couldn't help but blurt out And came out, "He is dead, but he still has a chance to be resurrected." No matter if it can be done, no matter if a miracle can happen, if Xiaoxia is not given a hope, she might go crazy on the spot.

When Xiaoxia heard Bao Datong's words, she suddenly stopped crying and looked at Bao Datong blankly, really afraid that she had heard wrongly.

"Yes, you heard me right, what I said is true." Bao Datong held Xiaoxia's shoulders and gave her a very sure look, "His soul is suppressed in his body by his father, which means he is still He has not left, as long as we mend his heart, he can come back to life."

"Then why doesn't he talk to me? Why?" Xiaoxia's tears fell down like broken beads again, "He is a stranger, he can talk to me, why ignore me?"

"Because his soul is unknown now, he can have a chance to be resurrected. If his soul wakes up, then he will really die. Do you want this too?" Bao Datong stared at Xiaoxia's eyes.

Xiaoxia immediately fell silent, and Bao Datong patted her shoulder comfortingly to calm her down. But Xiaoxia looked up and saw Uncle Bao, and she could tell at a glance that he was a spirit, "Uncle Bao, you?" Uncle Bao hadn't answered yet. She saw Wan Li lying there again, and was even more shocked, "He's not dead, right? He's not dead, is he?"

"This child was born with strong yang energy and long-lasting blessings. He will not die." Uncle Bao replied, "It is us old guys who will die. This is what you are talking about, oh, metabolism." He said it easily, as if No more talking about death.

Xiaoxia called her uncle, her voice choked with sobs, and she could no longer speak.

"Now let's find a way to deal with the aftermath." Bao Datong seemed to become stronger in an instant, no longer his usual playful smile, "Although Azhan's heart is damaged, it is not appropriate to send him to the hospital. Anyway, we cannot rely on medical technology to resurrect him. Wan Li's soul is damaged, so it's best to rest." He said, looking around, "This cave is good, no one knows about it anyway. After a while, I moved A Zhan and Wan Li inside, and used illusions to create an illusion outside. , even the dead locust tree was transformed, and a barrier was placed outside the cave, then they should be safe."

Uncle Bao saw that his son was speaking eloquently, and he felt comforted and said: "You are right, no one can know what is going on here. Fortunately, there was a total lunar eclipse last night, and it looked like it had been bombed. No one should care about it." It's all your business, just hide away for a while. Those two evil spirits should have gone back, you just need to take care of yourselves." After he said this, he paused and said, "After daybreak, your Uncle Ruan and I will leave too. "

When Bao Datong heard this, he suddenly put his hands on his face and cried bitterly.
