The Exorcist - v8 Chapter 25
Everyone would never mention anything that is difficult.
On the day before the duel, in Jinshi Town, everyone was doing their own thing. But the more you don’t mention it, the more it shows that this matter is in everyone’s heart, but everyone doesn’t show it.
Uncle Bao wandered under the Tietou Mountain outside the town, hesitating to see his old friend for the last time. Tomorrow, the best friends of his life will completely disappear in this world. If he is still alive, it will be even more disaster. He will become a demon, in essence, he is not the original Ruan Tianyi anymore. So in any case, he will also lose this only friend; this ordinary friend with an extraordinary heart; this friend who has transformed countless grievances and hungry ghosts, but forced himself to desperately!
Taoism is natural, life and death are also natural, he should be able to see. However, man is not a **** after all. Facing so many years of friendship, he can’t reach that state, even if he stands far away and says a few words. Brother for many years, at least I have to say something before sending him on the road.
At the same time, Bao Datong in the town is still cultivating hard. Although Wanli told him to relax a little, he could not sit still. If he was going to kill the enemy and kill the demon, he might be very excited, but when he thinks of himself tomorrow He was going to participate in a human tragedy of the fratricidal father and son, and his heart panicked. In fact, Wan Li was also very uneasy. Although on the surface, he was sitting on a chair steadily and reading a book in his hand, but he didn’t turn a page for a long time, and his mind was completely out of this. Ruan Zhan and Xiao Xia had left long ago, and they walked arm in arm in the town like this, happily wandering around every corner of the town. Although he didn’t say a word along the way, his eyes intertwined and his fingers interlocked. It seemed that every time they looked at each other, they had to deepen the impression in each other’s hearts, and didn’t return to the hotel until late at night.
Lying quietly in Ruan Zhan’s arms, Xiao Xia was confused and couldn’t sleep at all. His head rested on his chest, although he listened to his breathing smoothly. The heart beats forcefully and regularly, but Xiao Xia can still feel the entangled contradictions and struggles in his heart, as if she can touch those complex and painful emotions. What to do tomorrow is already very difficult for others, let alone one of the parties, Ruan Zhan? Although he was to help his father, even though all of this was arranged by his father himself, how could he be successful? ! And what if he is really in danger? Will she really lose him?
Since she knew about it. She has been doing psychological construction repeatedly, telling herself that there will be nothing wrong with him, and she will never let him leave like that. She told herself this over and over again, but as the date approached, as the duel battle was looming, the blind confidence she gave herself suddenly collapsed. During the day, she desperately wanted to behave normally. She seemed confident, but on this cold spring night, when his body temperature and breath gently surrounded them, she was suddenly very afraid of the last good time of this lesson, and she was afraid that she would lose him from now on.
If he really died. She can’t let him go. Although she loves him so much, without him, she may not be as good as dead, but she has to consider her elderly parents and cannot pass her pain on to others in the form of death. Moreover, even if she died in love, she had neither spiritual power nor resentment, and her soul might soon dissipate. It is impossible to accompany him forever. What should we do then? Is she going to learn from Lu Yan, give birth to a child for Ruan Zhan, and then live just like Abai married a ghost husband? No, she shouldn’t be separated from him by yin and yang, and don’t love each other with him, but can’t touch each other. She wants to hold him, kiss him, stand with him in the sun, watching each other slowly grow old. Therefore, she must not be so pessimistic, she must face everything firmly, and she must believe that she is his miracle!
Thinking of this, Xiao Xia gently moved Ruan Zhan’s arms on her waist, turned over to hug him, and felt his truth and temperature, but when she turned around, she saw him quietly watching with his eyes open. Looking at her, she seemed to be reluctant to even blink, her deep eyes were full of tenderness and affection, causing her eyes to suddenly be filled with mist.
“I will love you forever.” He said softly, his voice rushing from the senses of her whole body to her heart, making her unable to say anything for a moment. The determination that had just been established, with a little bit of fierceness, disappeared again without a trace, and only felt an indescribable sadness, as if it were saying goodbye to her.
Xiao Xia stretched out her hand and stroked his face, trying to say something blaming or coquettish, but before she could say it, Ruan Zhan suddenly closed his eyes and seemed to fall asleep instantly, which made Xiao Xia startled.
“A Zhan, A Zhan!” Xiao Xia pushed Ruan Zhan twice, but Ruan Zhan actually fell asleep so deeply that he didn’t mean to wake up at all.
Isn’t something unexpected? He has always slept less, and he woke up exceptionally when he slept, and even a little movement made him wake up. How could this be the case now? He touched his chest, still jumping firmly and forcefully. I pushed him a few more times, but he still didn’t respond, as if fainted. Is it really too tired? Is he really exhausted from the hard work these days in Thailand?
Xiao Xia hurriedly got up and wanted to call the next door Uncle Bao to see what happened, but before she sat up, she saw a black shadow flashing in the sky, and a figure appeared out of thin air. He didn’t squeeze in from the walls or doors or windows like other spirits, his posture was ugly, but his posture was graceful, and he appeared in an instant.
“Don’t be afraid,” he said.
Xiaoxia quickly covered her mouth and swallowed the exclamation back into her stomach. She knows who he is? Although she hadn’t seen her face clearly, the voice and feeling told her that the black figure in front of her was Ruan Zhan’s father, Ruan Tianyi.
Instinctively, she turned around and hugged Ruan Zhan, staring at the place where the dark shadow was, guarding against the old man from hurting her sweetheart. But when he took a closer look, he found that Father Ruan had been on his side all the time, and now he turned around, facing her with his back, as if there was no malice.
“I didn’t come to hurt him.” Father Ruan seemed to know what Xiao Xia meant, and said slowly, with a smile and gratification in his voice, “I just came to see him, and thank you and apologize to you. You, Would you like to put on some clothes first? The night here is still very cold.”
Xiaoxia was taken aback. Realizing that he was still naked, although he had been hiding in the quilt and did not come out, he was still ashamed. Take a look around. I don’t know where the clothes were thrown at the moment of passion just now. Fortunately, the bathrobe was still there, so I quickly put it on, and then turned on a lamp.
“What’s wrong with him?” Xiao Xia hurriedly asked when Ruan’s father turned around, because her image was a bit embarrassing.
“Nothing. I just let him sleep quietly for a while. This kid is too tired. He has been tired all the time.” Father Ruan said and walked to the bed.
All the spirit bodies that Xiao Xia had seen walked lightly, and no one had walked steadily like Father Ruan, and could not see the slightest difference between human beings. Not only that, he can also make Ruan Zhan, who has a strong spiritual power, fall into a drowsy ignorantly, and his ability is really extraordinary. Obviously it is extremely difficult to deal with. This made Xiaoxia worry about tomorrow’s battle again. But she didn’t understand what he was here for today. It’s only twenty-four hours before that cruel father-son confrontation. At this time tomorrow, there will be a fight to the death. What is the meaning of this peace now?
He saw Father Ruan standing in front of the drowsy Ruan Zhan. As soon as he stretched his fingers, he turned the sleeping sideways Ruan Zhan over and turned him face up. Then he stood there blankly, without speaking for a long time, just watching.
“He was like this when he was a kid. He was very quiet when he slept,” Xiao Xia thought that Father Ruan would stand like that for the rest of his life, he suddenly said: “He doesn’t kick the quilt like other children, talk in sleep, and never sleeps in bed. When you call him, he wakes up, he doesn’t play coquettishly at all, and he is more sensible than an adult, but he was only five years old at the time, so it makes people feel distressed, isn’t it?”
Xiaoxia didn’t speak, but her heart twisted.
Father Ruan didn’t seem to want to hear her reaction, but just continued to speak on his own. “In my whole life, the only person I’m sorry is him, because when I was preparing to give birth to this son, I didn’t treat him as my own flesh and blood. I just wanted him to be a killer, specifically to kill me and those who couldn’t cross. The killer of evil spirits. Isn’t this very bad practice? But I’m not afraid that I will have retribution, but I’m afraid that these evil spirits that have accumulated for many years will come out as evil, then it will be troublesome. They will harm people in various forms. , Do you still remember the pair of demon boys? They are attached to people, living among people, and have hurt many families and innocent people. They are just two evil spirits that are not very harmful. If there are a lot of them, the grievance will be deeper and more serious. Heavy evil spirits wander in the human world, and the consequences are unimaginable, and he was born to stop them. Because I was afraid that they would have feelings for each other until the end, after he was born, I didn’t even look at it, so called A soul threw him to the door of a family.” He stopped here suddenly, and stretched out his hand to caress Ruan Zhan’s face, just like caring for the most precious baby in his heart, so loving and affectionate. , It’s a pity that his hand can’t touch Ruan Zhan, and he touches the space again and again, every time he touches it is in vain.
Xiaoxia understands that he has endured so many years alone, tonight is when he is saying goodbye to his biological son, and she vomits the sorrow in her heart. Therefore, he remained silent and waited for him to continue.
“But the spirit who helped me ran back to me one day and said that the adopted Azhandi couple was not good to him, and since they discovered that he has natural instincts, they began to want to get rid of him and treat him like a little boy. Throw it away like a stray dog. I just know that in order to repay my little favor from the year, the soul has never left Azhan and has been secretly protecting him. If it weren’t for him, Azhan might be thrown elsewhere. There are so many people, I might never find him again. At that time, although I didn’t want to, I still had to take Azhan back to me. He was only five years old when he came back. He was really a beautiful child. , But a pair of eyes coldly, full of alert to anyone and everything, looks like thorns all over, very uncomfortable. At that time, I was very contradictory when I saw his appearance. On the one hand, I was happy because I just expected him. Become like this-don’t trust anyone, be fierce and fierce, don’t have any feelings with anyone, be lonely and have no scruples. Only in this way will he complete the mission I gave him, and finally join me with these evil spirits. Qi, dust to dust, dust to dust. But on the other hand, he was still a child, he was born in this world, but he couldn’t get anything beautiful. I can be kind to an evil resentment, why Want to be so cruel to him? I asked myself, what right do I have to let him be born and die for me? Although I have no choice but to make this move, it is too unfair to him, isn’t it?”
Father Ruan’s voice was full of self-blame and contradiction, turning his head to look at Xiao Xia, his eyes were extremely regretful. Xiaoxia wanted to say that he was too selfish, but she couldn’t say it. Everything is beyond the control of manpower. In order to do the right thing, Father Ruan did the wrong thing later. By now, his own life is gone, and he is still facing the fate of dispersal. He didn’t do it for himself, even if Ruan Zhan is awake now, can he blame his father? Only four words-helpless.
“I tried my best to remind myself not to have feelings with him, neither love him nor let him love me, or even hate me, so that when he meets three difficulties, he will make a decision. There is also a better chance of survival. But I forgot that the nature of father and son is not something human can obstruct. Neither I treat him or he treat me, I can’t be unsympathetic and unrighteous. I don’t know when, I love him. It’s amazing. It’s a lot better than all the fathers who dote on their children in the world. Although this child is cold on the surface, but the heart is like a fire. This is something I can’t estimate. And when I found out that he and Wanli became When I was a friend, I thought about ruining this friendship, but I didn’t do anything.”
“Thank you.” Xiaoxia said suddenly~www.mtlnovel.com~ Thank me for what? “Father Ruan was surprised and looked at Xiao Xia strangely.
“Thank you for not interrupting the friendship between him and Wanli, otherwise he would not even have this warmth. It is really pitiful. Without Wanli, I would not know him, so I want to thank you.”
“I want to thank you. This is also one of the purposes of my coming.” Father Ruan smiled, making Xiao Xia feel that he was extremely loving, “I have seen him living his life before, and I only think he is lonely. It made me feel at ease when I suspended my death underground. But then he had you, and I could feel his happiness. He loves you very much more than his life. Although this relationship will be short-lived, he finally did not come in vain. Once in this world. Unfortunately, he can’t stay with you for a long time. This is where I want to apologize. Although it’s useless, I still want to say sorry to you. You gave my son warmth and love, but unfortunately because of me I’m very sorry that I can’t let you be together. In fact, I thought about giving up the plan of letting Azhan and me fight, but if I become a demon, he still won’t be able to live. Because at that time I couldn’t control my own mind, so I would Starting with the killing of the closest person, even you are not immune. In that case, let us father and son take care of everything. It’s just that you have suffered.”
“No, he won’t die. Even if he is dead, I will save him.” Xiao Xia said firmly to Father Ruan and also to herself, “You said that if there is a miracle, he can live. I will do miracles for him.”
