Sima Nan laughed heartily, with a sense of arrogance and pride in his laughter.
While laughing, he walked up and down the open space, kicking on the ground and destroying all the items set up by Master Long. Although he was smiling, his behavior showed that he was extremely angry.
He has always thought highly of himself, and he couldn't bear the repeated losses from Ruan Zhan. He didn't expect that a Feng Shui master who died many years ago could also oppose him. First, he couldn't find him, and then he just used the formation. Fa just let him wander outside for six or seven hours!
It would be fine if this old ghost used earth and wood to set up an array in the woods, but the thought that he just randomly placed some broken things in a small open space made him feel confused and made him even more angry!
Furthermore, he knew that the evil spirit situation in the new town had been broken. His carefully designed plan to kill people with a borrowed knife was thwarted by that boy Ruan Zhan! In this way, he would have to deal with him personally. What annoyed him was that he was a little nervous, not confident of winning, and even - he was a little - afraid!
This is a big taboo for those who practice Taoism. Before they fight, they will become timid! But he knew that this time he had to fight. He can't let Ruan Zhan become stronger, nor can he let what he dreams of fall into Ruan Zhan's hands!
That is what he pursues in his life! No matter what the price, he must get it! Therefore, one of him or Ruan Zhan must not leave this town alive!
But - what about Wanli?
He has been with that old ghost, why is he missing now?
Sima Nan frowned and looked around, but found no sign of Wan Li. A sniff revealed that there was no human scent. Where has he hidden? Could it be that the old ghost knew that he was coming and asked the kid to avoid it in advance?
He walked into the nearby grass and searched carefully, but still found nothing. Then he returned to the clearing and looked from the ground inch by inch. A huge stone on the edge of the clearing caught his attention.
This is deep in the woods. How come there are such big rocks? And the shape is a bit strange, a bit like a person curled up and lying there!
Sima Nan couldn’t help but walked over after thinking this!
While Sima Nan was approaching the big rock, Wan Li was still wondering - the place where he stayed was not hidden, there were only a few grasses blocking the front, so why couldn't Sima Nan see him? He was walking back and forth in the grass, as if he was looking for something. Was he looking for something important, or thinking of ways to torture himself?
His whole body was stiff, unable to move at all, and he tried his best to make even a slight moan out of his throat. His whole body was like meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered, but Sima Nan just ignored him, as if he It doesn’t exist!
In anger, he glanced down, and what he saw shocked him - when did he and the wooden box in his hands turn into big rocks?
Looking ahead again, I saw Sima Nan's feet slowly walking towards me, and I suddenly understood.
His big stone image must be the illusion left by Master Long to Sima Nan. Master Long used his last strength to protect him, so he could not move or say anything. In fact, he was the one who attracted Sima Nan and brought disaster to Master Long. However, Master Long not only helped Ruan Zhan regain control of the resentful spirit, but also came to protect him regardless of his own safety!
Now, it seems that Sima Nan has discovered the truth. But it doesn't matter, as long as Sima Nan breaks the illusion, he will return to normal, and he will fight Sima Nan hard by then! Although there is a huge difference in strength between them, like an egg touching a stone, he is not a coward and will not disgrace Ruan Zhan, nor will he live up to Master Long's kindness to him!
Wan Li secretly made up his mind and decided that as soon as the stone barrier that sealed him was released, he would strike first and try to gain the upper hand in close combat. That was his only advantage compared to Sima!
But seeing Sima Nan approaching, the situation suddenly changed!
When Master Long left, only his clothes were left on the ground, including the pair of black gloves that he took out of the wooden box and put on his hands very solemnly. No one noticed the gloves at first, but at this moment, the gloves seemed to come alive, and suddenly flew out and grabbed Sima Nan's ankles!
This change was completely beyond Sima Nan's expectation. He didn't react for a moment. When he understood that this was a spell left by Master Long to deal with him, he hurriedly recited a spell and waved his hand!
However, he was one step late! When the power he exerted reached his feet, the black gloves seemed to be absorbed by Sima Nan's skin and melted into his ankles!
Sima Nan's expression changed, and he immediately took off his shoes and socks and rolled up his trousers.
On the pale skin of his ankle, there was a faint black mark. Although it was not in the shape of a hand, it was flowing. It looked extremely weird, as if his ankle was shackled!
Sima Nan cursed in a low voice, and immediately sat cross-legged, muttering something in his mouth, and making complicated movements with his hands towards the black fingerprints on his pale skin, as if to pull out the black shadow that had blended into his skin, but no matter No matter what he did, his ankle was still the same, without any change. Instead, he spurted out a mouthful of blood!
"You **** old ghost! I can't even save my soul, and you actually want to mess with me!" Sima Nan wiped the blood from his mouth and cursed angrily, "Do you think this can change anything? No one can stop it. Me!"
He jumped up and ran thousands of miles away, as if he wanted to vent his anger on the 'big rock' in front of him. However, just as he came to the 'big rock', the grass around him stirred, and a woman Got out from inside.
"Anan, your nightmare spell has taken effect! Do you want to seal the city? We-" The visitor's tone was bright and urgent, with the excitement of a child before playing a game. It was Hong Haohao.
Sima Nan adjusted his expression and turned around, but the blood on the corner of his mouth still made Hong scream exaggeratedly, "Anan, what's wrong with you? Are you injured?"
As she spoke, she walked over to touch Sima Nan's face, but was blocked by Sima Nan indifferently.
"I said, don't call me Anan." He was a little impatient.
His attempt to remove the black energy was too eager. As a result, not only did the black energy sink deeper and deeper, but his own meridians were also injured. This made him extremely angry, and he didn't want Hong to see this properly. He didn't want to hear Hong Hao call him 'Anan', because it would remind him of another woman, a woman who was so gentle and pure that he felt compassion for her. And if he went into a new town, he might meet her, which made him a little upset.
He used Yue Xiaoxia as bait to deal with Ruan Zhan, but he was not worried that Ruan Zhan would use A Bai to deal with him. Firstly, Ruan Zhan could not do such a thing; secondly, he would not give up himself for Abai. goal, even though he has never forgotten her!
"Then what should I call you?" Hong Hao asked, with a hint of sourness.
She understood that the man in front of her had always doted on her, but since that Abai appeared, he had changed. In his heart, his name can only be called by that woman. She didn't understand, who was the woman named Abai? She really wanted to meet her and see what method that woman used to make such a callous and moody man never forget her!
"You are a person without roots, so you don't need to call me anything." Sima Nan said ruthlessly, "If you have something to say, just say it."
Hong Haohao tilted his head and looked at Sima Nan, unable to explain what he felt in his heart. He was cruel and ruthless, she had already experienced this countless times, but for some reason, this time it was especially unbearable for her, and she didn't say anything for a long time.
"What's going on?" Sima Nan frowned.
"I mean - the nightmare spell has taken effect." Hong carefully considered the words, "Are we - going to enter the new town?"
"I am the one entering New Town, not us."
"Aren't you going to take me with you?" Hong Haohao's eyes widened in shock, "You said you would take me with you wherever you go! Besides, Ruan Zhan is so powerful, I can help you."
When Hong Haohao said the previous sentence, Sima Nan felt soft-hearted for a moment. After all, humans are not grass and trees, and how can they be ruthless? Although she didn't mean anything to him, and was just a beautiful soul that he saved for a moment of joy, but after so many years, he felt somewhat close to her. But when he heard Ruan Zhan's name from Hong Haohao's mouth, his heart became cold and hard again.
"You think he's powerful?" He raised his eyebrows slightly, and his gaze swept over Hong Haohao like an icy line, "Do you think I can't beat him, do you need help?"
"No, I didn't mean that!" Hong Haohao explained quickly, "I just want to stay by your side."
"If you want to help me, you can." Sima Nan continued following his own words, ignoring Hong's explanation, "Then go back to the old town. Someone must be watching over there to prevent any trouble. . If something goes wrong there, we will have to change our skin again! I really can’t bear to part with it. This is my most satisfying identity so far!"
“But——”
"There is no but. I said, there must be someone watching over there in Old Town, I can only count on you." Sima Nan's tone suddenly became gentle again, "I can't trust others, and those thugs will also need to be dealt with in the end. And—" He walked over, hugged Hong Haohao, and whispered a few words in her ear.
They spoke too quietly and could not be heard by Wanli. Hong nodded his head and left the woods with great reluctance. Sima Nan turned his head and looked at the 'big stone' again, but finally did not come over. After some investigation, we also left here.
In just a few seconds, the small clearing among the woods became quiet, as if nothing had ever happened. There was nothing left except a pool of black clothes and messy footprints on the ground.
Only at this moment did Wan Li feel like his heart was pricking with needles.
He was a little sad about Master Long's death. In his opinion, if Master Long had helped others commit such a heinous crime because of the fetters of family ties, then his ten years of continuous attempts to make amends and everything he has done today should be enough to repay him.
That’s why Master Long said to him: No matter what you see, you have to understand that this is the price I should pay, and it is what I am willing to do. No matter what the outcome is, it means relief to me.
Now that Master Long has left, not even his soul is left, and Sima Nan is going to sneak into the new town to confront Ruan Zhan, and he doesn’t know what happened in the old town. What should he do? Is it just like a big stone, motionless?
Thinking of this, Wan Li felt anxious and struggled with brute strength. After a long time like this, I don't know whether it was due to his eager mood or because the time for the barrier was up. He suddenly felt a sense of relief, and the numbness in his body disappeared instantly, and he cried out with a cry of 'ah'!
He quickly got up. Although his limbs were a little weak due to being in a stupefied state for too long, he was able to move on his own after all. He stood there thinking for a while and decided to go to the old town to see it. Anyway, the new town was sealed by a barrier and he couldn't enter. It would be better to ensure the safety of one party and keep Ruan Zhan's backyard safe. Of course, it would be best to let Sima Nan's backyard catch fire.
As soon as he decides what he wants to do, he takes action. First, he made sure that there were no people or monsters watching him around, then he opened the wooden box and saw that there were not many things left inside. There were only an extremely old ancient book, a small bamboo tube, a bamboo bow and three Bamboo Arrow, and the other is a booklet.
When Master Long left, he said that the pamphlet was for him, so he immediately took it out and read it. The contents in the pamphlet surprised him, but the current situation was urgent and he had no time to take care of it. So he first put the book away again, then folded Master Long's clothes respectfully and put them in the wooden box.
He carefully confirmed again that no one had seen his actions, then buried the wooden box in a tree nest, and did some protective work on it, before leaving.
…………………………………………
While Sima Nan was trying to get rid of the black energy from his body, Ruan Zhan in New Town was doing the same thing.
Although the resentful spirit regained control, the black air knife that penetrated his right shoulder was still there. Just staying in the tower would reduce his abilities, and he had to run to the corridor in the middle of the lake to heal.
After the resentful spirit was recovered, he first let Reporter Ma's soul return to his body. Because his and Liu Hong's bodies were once occupied by two resentful spirits, but they were left there after being hit by his palm lightning at the staircase on the eighth floor. Liu Hong is dead, and only Reporter Ma can be resurrected.
He told Reporter Ma to go to the darkroom to pull Mao Fu down, and then hide anywhere in the town, as long as he stayed away from the tower.
"If the person surnamed Mao disobeys, just knock him out!" He told reporter Ma, "Hide in a place and don't make a sound until the sky becomes normal, whether it is blue sky, white clouds, or stars. Okay, even if it rains, as long as the weather is normal, you can go out. But remember, you must never tell anything about what happens here, not even to your loved ones, otherwise it will be harmful to you!"
At this time, Reporter Ma already admired and was grateful to Ruan Zhan. Hearing that the difficulties in New Town had not yet been completely solved, he bravely offered to help, but Ruan Zhan refused because no one intervened in the duel with Sima Nan. If you get the hang of it, whoever happens to do this may not survive.
He guessed that Sima Nan didn't know that this tower could reduce any energy, including his own spiritual energy. He must not have stayed in the tower for long when he destroyed it, otherwise Sima Nan would not have just sealed his abilities and let him enter the town.
This is a place that is favorable to him, and he can make full use of this to deal with Sima Nan.
Also, he also knew that Sima Nan would definitely come in through the waterway. He was not sure at first, but Sima Nan's cleverness was mistaken. When he sent Black Fish to destroy his talisman formation, he also exposed his own channel.
So, he did not eliminate all the evil spirits of the hungry ghost realm in the lake. He had a very embarrassing escape under the water just now. He wanted to leave some good things for Sima Nan to try!
I don’t know what kind of virtue it would be for Sima Nan, who always regarded himself as a Taoist immortal and had teeth hanging all over his body when he came out of the water, or was bitten until he was covered in blood!
Ruan Zhan couldn't help but smile when he thought of this, and taking advantage of the opportunity to relax, he fiercely pulled out the black air knife on his right shoulder!
