A few hours later.

"Ruan Zhan, Ruan Zhan, Ruan Zhan!" Xiaoxia shouted with a crying sound, waking up from the boundless darkness.

"I'm here." someone answered her. She looked around and saw Ruan Zhan sitting on the bed opposite, looking at her. Although his face was extremely pale, he didn't look like a ghost.

"Am I dead or are you still alive?" She was extremely surprised, unable to determine reality and illusion for the time being.

"We are all alive." Ruan Zhan said calmly.

"You promise?"

"I promise!"

"I want to touch your hand." She had to make sure that he was not a scholar who came to deceive her again.

Hearing her calling his name in her dream made him feel that she still had a conscience, so he complied with her request.

Xiao Xia grabbed Ruan Zhan's wrist hard and felt the warmth of his skin and the strong pulse from her palm. She finally felt completely at ease. She only felt that his distant tone and reserved expression that she usually hated the most had become cute. stand up.

"Are you injured?" Looking at Ruan Zhan's pale face, Xiaoxia's heart was filled with uneasiness in an instant.

This is all because of her, otherwise this man would still be quietly staying in the bar to make money and pick up girls. Although he was neatly dressed and looked calm now, she had seen him being bitten by countless little water ghosts before and suffered serious flesh injuries. And during her time away from the water, she was sure that he must have encountered greater threats. She didn't know how he solved it, but it must have cost a lot of money, and it even endangered her life.

"It's okay, it will be fine." He said lightly.

"I'm sorry for getting you involved in this matter." Seeing his perseverance under his gentle appearance, Xiaoxia felt a little admiration for him, and she showed her conscience a little. But she immediately remembered what happened before she lost consciousness, and asked with lingering fear: "But - after you threw me ashore, I didn't come up for a long time. Then the scholar ghost turned into you and lied to me. I thought you were dead." ”

"That's because you were so embarrassed and fainted on the spot that you didn't see how things would develop later."

Oh, this guy! It's been so cute for less than a minute, and I'm worried about what he's doing, let the ghost strangle him to death!

Seeing Xiao Xia frowning at him, Ruan Zhan's goal was achieved. Who says anger is a bad emotion? It all depends on where it appears, and now it can quickly make Xiaoxia recover from the panic she felt a few hours ago. He had called Wan Li before and learned the cause and effect of the matter. He couldn't say that he was not touched by Xiaoxia's brave behavior to support him, especially considering that she was very timid.

"Then what happened to it? Brave man!" Xiaoxia asked angrily. She was now very sure that they were the victorious party, otherwise they would not be alive and well, so she wanted to know the process, so even though she repeatedly stopped herself from ignoring that 'hateful person', she still couldn't calm down after all. .

"It will not come out to threaten anyone." Ruan Zhan paused, "In fact, it disappeared and was chopped into ashes by the Blood Wood Sword."

"So cruel?"

"There is no way. There is no soul escaping under the Blood Wood Sword, not to mention the stone sword that has been suppressing it." Ruan Zhan explained the main points of what happened, satisfying this curious person. Baby. But even though he said it lightly, Xiaoxia still heard the danger in it.

"Um - what's going on with the Blood Wood Sword? It can also get bigger and smaller -" Xiao Xia asked hesitantly. She had never seen such a magical thing in her whole life. She thought she could only see it on TV, and she really wanted to have it as her own.

"The bloodwood sword is a sword made of bloodwood."

"This is not nonsense!"

"The blood tree is a tree that has been extinct for many years and has only been heard of in legends." Ruan Zhan further explained, "It is said that it grows in extremely shady places and feeds on the blood of passing creatures. Therefore, its The branches are blood red and will bleed if any part is injured. It is originally a most evil thing, but if it can be refined with a spell, it will become an excellent evil-controlling thing."

"Just using evil to fight evil?"

"You can say that. As for this one, it was passed down from generation to generation by my father from his master. I don't know how long ago it was a magic weapon."

"So you're not good at using it at all, are you? I just think you're just using it randomly." Xiaoxia would never miss the opportunity to ridicule Ruan Zhan.

Ruan Zhan didn't take it seriously. "Yes, it's a bit difficult to use the blood wood sword with my ability, but thanks to this sword, we can save our lives." As he said this, he walked to the window and took a deep breath of the fresh air from the river. , the suffocating feeling from a few hours ago was gone.

Those who have never experienced death will not know the value of life.

After he went down to the river last night, he kept looking for the scholar's burial place. Under normal circumstances, destroying that place would greatly reduce the ability of the wraith or even completely subdue it. But it was so well hidden that it couldn't be found, and it chased him back because it sensed danger. The successful combination also brought a great threat to him.

"I think I have to bear some responsibility for this matter. I came here without thinking carefully and almost hurt you." When it comes to endangering her life, Xiaoxia immediately started self-criticism and stopped being petty. Eyes attack Ruan Zhan, "I almost killed you."

"On the contrary, it was you who saved my life. If you hadn't brought the Blood Wood Sword to support me, I certainly wouldn't have been able to escape this disaster." Ruan Zhan praised Xiaoxia's small contribution in a graceful manner. I never thought that this would lay the seeds of disaster for the future.

"That's not the case." Xiaoxia scratched her head, a little embarrassed, "It was a female ghost holding a child - no, a female ghost holding a kid who led me there. Otherwise, I wouldn't know where you are." She told what she had experienced After saying it all, "Do you know who they are?"

"I know now. Remember that stone box, right? That was the container where the scholar was sunk into the river." Ruan Zhan didn't know how to describe it, "There were many people's hair and a beating heart in it. The heart, you can see it too."

Xiao Xia nodded, still feeling confused.

"Those hairs belong to the victims of the Ye Mansion extermination case. The evil spirit used their hair to capture their souls for it to enslave. There are also Li Jingming's family, except for their father and son."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Xia was startled by the unexpected news, "Are you kidding! Doesn't this mean that Li Jingming's family has died long ago?"

"That's right." Ruan Zhan said without any emotion, "This is why Li Jingming always said that their family was weird, because they were killed as early as the night they moved into Ye Yuan, but the resentful spirit Use evil magic to keep their souls in their bodies for him to control, but this cannot last long. So even if Li Jingming doesn't do it himself, they will still die after seven, seven and forty-nine days."

"But why did it let go of Li Jingming and his son? Did it really want Li Shulun's body? And that heart - was it Li Jingming's? In that case - we stabbed the heart, didn't we kill it? Did you kill him?"

"Whether it wants Li Shulun's body, I haven't had time to ask you, Miss, but it is very possible. As for the heart, do you think it can be installed back after it leaves Li Jingming's body? In fact, he was already considered dead from the moment he felt a cold in his chest, but he didn't realize it because the resentful spirit took the form of his heart and stayed in his body. It could predict Li Jingming If the house is restless, he will definitely find someone to catch the ghost, so it is easy to control him in this way, and this method of possession is not easy to be seen by others. Only by being cautious can you succeed! Humph, he was indeed a scholar when he was alive. He was benevolent, righteous, courteous and filial. You see, he can be very scheming, and he is much better than the ordinary evil ghosts who shout to fight and kill."

"You still praise it! Really!"

"That's the truth. I've long said that it has become an 'evil', and it's not just a half-evil, it can actually retain part of its soul to practice evil arts at the bottom of the river. Fortunately, we were one step ahead. If When it is completed, I can only ask God for blessing."

"Do you practice with that heart?"

"Obviously. I don't know what it is practicing, but it must be related to the heart. Otherwise, have you ever seen a heart that has been away from the body for so long and it can still beat, and it is so powerful and weird? Its most important power They are all there, so it was precisely because of 'killing' that heart that we were able to eliminate it by luck in the end."

Xiaoxia didn’t speak. She knew that Ruan Zhan's analysis of the causes and consequences was correct, but she was still disappointed. She had always wanted to save Li Jingming, so she could persevere in so many frightening things. Who knew that in the end, all her efforts were in vain. It turned out that what she wanted to save was a person who could not be saved at all.

"Why does it have to harm Li Jingming's family? Is there any deep hatred in the previous life?"

"There is no deep hatred. It just wants to harm people. It wants people to be more miserable than it."

"In the end, we still failed to save Li Jingming." Xiaoxia felt regretful in her heart, "He begged me so much, and I agreed."

"At least you saved Li Shulun." Ruan Zhan comforted her, "Believe me, he will get better. And it is precisely because you insisted on handling this case that many ghosts driven by the enslavement of resentful spirits can be freed. Isn't it a good thing that everyone goes to their own place? Don't just help people, sometimes ghosts also need help, and it is not good to engage in speciesism."

His last words made Xiaoxia smile.

"Do you know? That female ghost is Ms. Ye and all the people who died in Ye Mansion back then. You should know that they had good intentions about what happened last night. In fact, they wanted to ask you for help so that they could be freed. ."

"They want to ask you for help, so they let me play a supporting role!"

"As long as the goal is achieved." Ruan Zhan faced the window again. This morning he saw that the long-lasting black air on that section of the river had dissipated. They must have found their own place, which made him feel that this time was not in vain.

"Actually, I sympathized with the scholar's plight at first, but although he was wronged at the time, he later went too far!"

"Yes, something that goes against the law of heaven will never end well. Is it a coincidence or luck that we can eliminate it? It can only be said that unreasonable things will not last long, but just lend me my hand. ."

"So everything is over?" Xiaoxia suddenly felt helpless when she heard Ruan Zhan talking about the process of eliminating scholar ghosts, "Where is Li Jingming? Has he been declared dead?"

Ruan Zhan nodded. "I just had a phone call with Wan Li. He left the moment the Blood Wood Sword pierced his heart last night."
