Chapter 22 I know
Abai!
Xiaoxia almost shouted out her name, but she was afraid of being discovered by the bolt of the cabinet opposite, so she held back. She didn't know if she, as a porcelain doll, would have an expression on her face, or if she didn't have an expression on her face to humans, but she could still see something in the eyes of Shuan Zhu, a fellow human being!
She tried her best to control her excitement and excitement and did not dare to respond.
"Xiaoxia, don't be afraid. I still have some residual ability, which can make the people watching you see the illusion I created, and only we can hear each other's words. So, you can talk to me boldly, It doesn't matter." Abai said again.
Xiao Xia then breathed a sigh of relief, "Where have you been? I'm so worried. I thought you were--"
"I'm over here!" Abai reminded Xiaoxia with his voice again.
Xiaoxia heard the sound coming from her left side, so she hit that side with all her strength. She didn’t know how many times she hit it before she felt herself turn a little, and she could barely see a small porcelain figure that was also slightly tilted, with picturesque features. The face, the clothes of the ethnic minority, are none other than Abai.
When she saw Abai like this, her despair increased. Originally, she was vaguely worried about this, but she also felt that Abai was such a capable Yajin during his lifetime and might have a way to protect himself. She didn't expect that she would be in the same situation as herself now, so who would help Ruan Zhan?
"I only have a little ability left, I'm afraid I can't help you, I'm sorry." Abai said apologetically as if he could see Xiaoxia's thoughts.
Xiaoxia shook her head quickly, even though she couldn't move at all, "Don't say that, Abai. We brought you out, and we should be responsible for your safety. It's me who should be sorry for getting you involved. If there is If you have a chance, just run away and leave none of us alone. It's a pity that I can't help you find that person."
"He-" Abai hesitated for a few seconds, "He has arrived. Although he did not appear, I can feel it."
Xiaoxia didn't say anything, truly feeling Abai's deep affection. If she hadn't understood before, why a woman as innocent and beautiful as an angel like Abai would fall in love with the sinister, vicious, cold and selfish Sima Nan, but now she can understand. In the extreme danger of this empty city, she burst out all her love for Ruan Zhan, so she can understand Abai's heart.
It’s not that women are stupid, but that when a woman truly falls in love with a man, she will give up everything, including reason, dignity and life, for the person she loves. Even though she knows it is a trap, she will still step into it and be willing to be trapped. Thousands of arrows pierce the body!
For example, if Ruan Zhan turns bad one day, even if the whole world wants to be his enemy, even if she has to accompany him to hell, she is still willing to be with him, as long as he has a little love in return. If you really love, how can you give up on him and leave him!
"How did you get caught here?" Xiao Xia pulled back from her thoughts and asked Abai.
"When you were walking on the mountain road, I felt that something was wrong. Then you pulled off the twist silk. I originally wanted to come out to see the situation, but I didn't expect that the evil spirit scared me back. I am really useless!"
"Evil spirit?" Xiaoxia didn't want Abai to blame himself anymore, so she continued to ask, "Is it the person with two tear moles on his face who is attached to Zuo De?"
"Yes, but he doesn't seem to come out of this city, but is in harmony with the resentful spirits in the city. And you should not have come to this town, but the city has been distorted by space. So I saw you falling into the city as if you were thrown from a height, and there was nothing you could do. I couldn't save you, so I had to follow, but you all fell unconscious. I ran out of your bracelet and tried to save you, but I couldn't. Wrapped in a very heavy resentment, the result - was locked up in this container." Abai described the shapes of these little porcelain figures as containers, which seemed very appropriate to Xiao Xia.
"I hope Ruan Zhan will not be deceived by my original 'vessel'. I am very worried that he will be harmed. He has all his psychic powers sealed by Sima Nan. Now he is almost like an ordinary psychic, dealing with resentment. Such a deep resentment is too dangerous! What should we do?" Xiaoxia became worried when she mentioned this.
"I'm sorry."
"This has nothing to do with you. Do you have to apologize to Sima Nan for doing bad things? I know you love him very much, but not all his faults must be borne by you." Xiao Xia was a little impatient and didn't know how to persuade him. Abai is good.
Abai didn't speak for a few seconds, and then he sighed, "You are all good people, but he - he has it easy too."
"Abai——"
"I saw the way you were sent to this city that day, and I knew it was him." Abai didn't seem to hear Xiaoxia's kind-hearted obstruction, and said quietly to himself, "From the time I knew him to I married him and we were together for five years. Although he left me, I have been recalling every bit of him in my heart over the years, so no one in this world understands him better than me. . Ruan Zhan's natural ability is too powerful. He has not yet truly awakened. When he finds the key to use his ability, Anan will never be able to defeat him. He is so proud, how can he tolerate someone who is better than him, so He will definitely find a way to get rid of Ruan Zhan."
"Where is his pride? He is clearly despicable! A truly proud person disdains the use of intrigues and tricks!"
Abai Ai laughed coldly, "He has changed a bit, or his heart is too eager. He can see many things but can never grasp them. In some ways, he is a pitiful person. But Xiaoxia, believe me, this time he spent so much effort not only on Ruan Zhan, but also on me!"
"Stop talking nonsense. You love him so much. Isn't it enough that he imprisoned you in that well for so many years? Does he want to harm you? He can't be so heartbroken and crazy!"
"He is not trying to harm me." Abai was in the little porcelain figure and could not see her expression. "To others, he is a bad person, but to me, he is my husband. The only person I love in this life. I did not die in his hands, everything was my own choice. After I died, he had many opportunities to make me fly away, but he just sealed my soul in that mouth In the dry well, he has always been unable to do anything. I think he loves me a little bit after all. The reason why he treats me so much and is now pressing Ruan Zhan is because he wants something in my hand. Something."
Xiao Xia didn't say anything, but she thought in her heart that Sima Nan might not have killed A Bai because she wanted to get the thing in A Bai's hand.
"You said that you were looking for him just to give him something. Is it that thing?"
Abai said ‘hmm’.
"I know he has always wanted that thing, but he won't talk to me. In fact, as long as he asks me for it and answers one question, I can give it to him."
"What kind of treasure is that that he must get?" Xiaoxia asked.
"It's just a spiritual stone. It was left to me by my master. I always carry it with me."
"What's the use of that stone?"
"Actually, he doesn't have to put in so much effort. As long as he answers my question honestly, I can give it to him." Abai muttered to himself as if he didn't hear Xiaoxia's question.
"It's a pity that even if you give it to him, he won't let Ruan Zhan go." Xiaoxia couldn't bear to hurt Abai, but Sima Nan started the war. If they didn't fight, Ruan Zhan would be the one who died. From this aspect, Sima Nan's character is really extreme. He always gives such riddles - life or death!
"I understand, don't take me into consideration. In fact, I am worried about Ruan Zhan. Although his ability is strong, he has not fully displayed it, and although his character also has a cold side, he is not ruthless enough, maybe ――You will suffer a loss!”
"He has already suffered a loss." When Xiaoxia mentioned Ruan Zhan, her heart tightened, "I'm afraid that he will get hurt again. With his personality, he will never give up and fight to the death. But A Bai , there is so much resentment here, do you know what’s going on?”
"I don't know, they never tell me in front of me. But these people seem to be from a very big village, and as far as I can see, these resentful spirits were once suppressed by a master using this tower. With that, their resentment will soon be suppressed and they will be sent to where they should go, but at this time-"
"He was released by Sima Nan, right? But how did he command these resentful spirits?"
Abai continued to sigh, "Such a huge resentment, and it was released after being suppressed for a long time. No one can control it. They and Anan just help each other, and now he can't control it. These resentful spirits They have great grievances and are very pitiful. Although their revenge is a bit cruel, they must have experienced pain that is rare for ordinary people. But Anan is like this - it is really too much!"
"Is there any way we can help Ruan Zhan now?" Xiaoxia asked anxiously. She talked to Abai for a long time, and she just wanted to know this.
"I'm sorry, no, you can only wait." Abai said softly, "It depends on how deep your relationship is with him. People like him have a strong sense of empathy with their loved ones. It might help if you concentrate on calling him."
"Maybe?"
"I'm sorry, from the day I fell in love with Anan, my ability began to decline. Later, I felt that accepting Aya as a disciple might bring disaster to the world, so I used all my strength to pray to heaven and get that match. The prophecy about the future left a way to conquer him, and after that my ability completely disappeared. Now I can talk to you alone without anyone knowing, while I was living in a dry well. I have retrained some spiritual power, but this is already my limit. I’m sorry, I really can’t help you!”
"Abai, there's no need to be sorry." Xiaoxia comforted Abai who was full of guilt. She seemed to blame all the evil done by Sima Nan on herself, "I will try hard now and I will definitely inform Ruan Zhan. . He has survived so many dangers, and he will be fine this time."
In fact, Xiaoxia was very worried, but she had to say this to comfort Abai. But later, this comfort gave her a little confidence. Who is Ruan Zhan? How could the man she loved be deceived and knocked down so easily!
She hit the 'container' in the opposite direction, regardless of the pain in her injured shoulder, and did not stop until she could face the bolt opposite. She had no other option now, and Abai couldn't help, but after finding Abai and knowing that she was just trapped like herself and that she was not in danger, she finally let go of her worries.
"Ruan Zhan! Ruan Zhan! Be careful, that's not me!" She concentrated all her energy and called Ruan Zhan in her heart, over and over again, hoping to convey her words to him.
I don’t know how long passed like this, but Xiaoxia didn’t get a single response, but suddenly she heard a familiar sound of footsteps coming from the stairs, which made her heart beat wildly!
It’s Ruan Zhan! He's still fine!
She looked longingly at the stairs. As the steady and somewhat scattered footsteps got closer and closer, she saw the figure of a man appearing. It was Ruan Zhan who was still safe! But - there was a woman clinging tightly to his side, and the intimacy and sweetness between the two made Xiaoxia's heart fall from ecstasy to extreme pain.
His psychic powers have not been restored!
This can be seen from his dull eyes and relatively slow movements, and he also failed to receive his own message, because he hugged the woman next to him tenderly, thinking that the resentful spirit was himself!
Xiao Xia felt like her heart was being put on fire, dry and painful, and then it broke into pieces!
How could he admit his mistake? Although the resentful spirit was using his body, he had always been sensitive. Why couldn't he feel that it was not her soul this time? However, what made her more anxious than jealousy was that Ruan Zhan was not defensive at all against that woman, but treated her with the gentlest attitude! In this case, if the resentful spirit attacks his opponent, doesn't he not even have a chance to fight back?
Why can't he receive his message? Why can't he sense her? Is she not attentive enough? But why didn't the resentful spirit take action? Didn’t they always want to get rid of Ruan Zhan? They haven't made a move for so long. They must still be unsure of Ruan Zhan's strength!
Her eyes were fixed on Ruan Zhan's face, expecting him to look at her side, but he didn't look at the cabinet at all and kept talking to the resentful spirit pretending to be Xiaoxia.
"It took me so long to open the gate before you opened it." The resentful spirit complained softly.
Xiaoxia almost vomited. She had never spoken to Ruan Zhan in that tone. But why couldn't Ruan Zhan hear it, or did he think that women in love were all like that? But she was powerless to do anything. Apart from calling him desperately, she could only watch and worry!
"I'm sorry, it was the most critical moment to recover spiritual power, so we can't be distracted." Ruan Zhan's voice sounded.
His voice was as steady and magnetic as usual, and he seemed confident. Xiao Xia thought that it might be because of his calm attitude that the resentful spirit could not decide whether to kill him or not. Therefore, it has been quite a while since the resentful spirit took over Xi's body, and Ruan Zhan is still safe and sound.
"So how is your recovery now?"
"It's almost better, but the invisibility talisman that blocked the vision has not been lifted yet. Don't worry, it will be soon." Ruan Zhan said softly.
When he was talking, the resentful spirit was reaching for his hand on the back of his heart, but when he heard that he had almost recovered, the porcelain hand was put down again, obviously afraid of Ruan Zhan. It seems that his palm thunder and fire hand seal are still very deterrent to these resentful spirits.
At this time, Xiaoxia realized that the spiritual power of this resentful spirit might be the highest among the group of resentful spirits, because she could clearly see that the resentful spirit's body could change at will, porcelain body for a while, and then restored again. Looking at the physical form, no wonder Ruan Zhan can't feel it.
"What are you going to do?" Fake Xiaoxia asked again.
"I will stay in this tower." Ruan Zhan said, "I know that this tower was specially built to suppress the resentful spirits, and I also know that these resentful spirits will dissipate their resentment and resolve it after a while. After getting rid of the anger, everyone went to their own place, but it happened to be destroyed by others."
"You know?" Fake Xiaoxia's tone remained unchanged, but her expression changed.
"Yes." Ruan Zhan smiled softly, "That's why I want to stay here, because the location is convenient for me. Those resentful spirits cannot come in in large numbers. Only a few individuals have particularly deep spiritual power and resentment. To be able to come in, I need the help of other resentful spirits. As long as I stay here, no one among them can avoid my palm thunder and fire hand seal."
The resentful spirit froze on the spot, its expression became extremely ferocious and terrifying, which Xiaoxia couldn't bear to look at. That was her face, and she never wanted to look so scary!
"Xiao Xia, don't be afraid. How about I give you a try? Ask for a fire hand seal!" Ruan Zhan raised his hand.
"No!" Fake Xiaoxia couldn't help but yelled.
"What's wrong? It doesn't matter, the fire handprint won't hurt you." Ruan Zhan hugged Fake Xiaoxia to his chest.
"Well - I just don't like that, it's nothing. I don't want you to use it casually." Fake Xiaoxia covered up.
"No? That's okay. I'd better save my spiritual energy to deal with the resentful spirits, and then when I fully recover, I will take you out of this ghost town and ignore everything else."
Seeing this, Xiaoxia became a little suspicious. Does Ruan Zhan really not know that the woman is fake?
He is a calm and reserved man who never shows off in front of women, and he likes ghosts more than humans. If the ghosts don’t want to hurt the people around him, or if they really can’t stand it, he generally won’t treat them. Hands on.
Then what's going on with him now? What is he planning? Or do men in love also change?
"Does anyone else care about it?" Wraith asked again.
"Those people must have done something harmful to nature, otherwise they wouldn't be locked up here waiting to die."
"Waiting to die - waiting to die -" The resentful spirit seemed to have thought of something and muttered to himself, with a look of fear on his face.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay. I just find it uncomfortable to wait for death." The resentful spirit shuddered, "I want to see death coming with my own eyes!"
"You are just too soft-hearted." Ruan Zhan held Fake Xiaoxia in his arms and rubbed his palms on her back, "There are many things that are helpless. Don't worry, everything will be solved."
Looking at him holding the resentful spirit, Xiaoxia's heart almost jumped out of her throat. If the resentful spirit attacks him at this time, he will definitely die. I saw the resentful spirit nestled in Ruan Zhan's arms, his head tilted at an indescribable angle, just face to face with Xiao Xia. Her hand was also stroking back and forth on Ruan Zhan's back. One moment it turned into a sharp weapon like broken porcelain, and the next moment it turned back into that delicate little hand. It was obvious that she had been struggling in her heart, wanting to do it but not daring to do it.
In the end, she didn't dare to take action and slowly broke away from Ruan Zhan's arms. Xiaoxia felt relieved, feeling as if she had experienced a baptism of life and death.
"Eat something. If you are not hungry, at least drink some water." The resentful spirit said.
"Okay, but I remember you put it upstairs. Go get it." Ruan Zhan nodded.
Wraith heard that he agreed to drink water, and his face showed a look of extreme excitement, "Okay, I'll get it for you, you wait." After saying that, he turned around and left.
As soon as her figure disappeared, Ruan Zhan immediately raised his hand. That familiar posture made Xiaoxia immediately understand that he was setting up a barrier, and her heart beat wildly - has he regained his ability? Can you at least set up a barrier?
The moment the barrier was set up, Ruan Zhan walked straight towards Xiao Xia, his eyes shining with a strange look. This shows that his eyesight has also recovered. He had been pretending not to see it just now!
He walked up to the little porcelain doll where Xiaoxia's soul was stored, stared at it for a few seconds, and then stretched out his index finger to caress it lovingly, "Don't worry, I know. I know everything!"
