The severe pain caused a layer of sweat to break out on Ruan Zhan's forehead, but he had no time to rest. Sima Nan may arrive at any time, and he must make all possible preparations.
He first took Abai's porcelain statue to the corridor in the center of the lake, and decided to talk to her first before settling Xiaoxia.
"Is he coming?" Abai asked quietly. At this time, New Town is still under the barrier, so she can appear safely.
Ruan Zhan nodded.
A Bai didn't speak, he just walked over and put his palm on the wound on Ruan Zhan's shoulder, closed his eyes and moved his lips slightly.
Ruan Zhan felt a warm flow of heat coming from the wound, and the pain was greatly reduced.
"I'm sorry, that's all I can do. I can't make you fully recover, I can only alleviate your symptoms." Abai said apologetically, "It's a pity that I can't stop him. What he wants to do, No one can stop it."
"This has nothing to do with you. But I heard Xiao Xia say - Sima Nan wants something in your hand, can you tell me what it is?" Ruan Zhan said sincerely, "Of course you don't have to say, after all, he is I will not force you to betray the person you love!"
Abai sighed softly, "Betrayal? It's out of the question! I came here just to give him the stone. Unfortunately, he still didn't understand that he didn't need to work so hard to get it. That stone only needs to answer one question from me."
"Just a stone?"
No matter how rare the treasure is, in Sima Nan's eyes, it is probably just a vulgar personal possession. He may use it to play with, but he will never count it out. Besides, with his current wealth and status, he has as many gems as he wants, so how can he be obsessed with this one stone? So Abai’s stone must have other functions!
"This is the stone." Abai said and stretched out his right hand.
On her originally empty and delicate palm, a small pebble slowly appeared. It was about the size of a quail egg, but it was oblate. The small stone is red and crystal clear. It looks brilliant even in this environment without sunlight, and is very beautiful and strange.
"This stone is as invisible as the soul. It will only appear under the command of the owner of the stone." Seemingly seeing the doubt in Ruan Zhan's eyes, Abai explained, "It's a bit like your Taoist The inner elixir is not swallowed in the stomach, but fused with the soul of the owner. Moreover, it is spiritual and will recognize its owner. Unless the owner of the stone sincerely gives it to others, other people will not be able to get it even if they grab it. If you use it, its stone soul will return to its original owner. Even if its soul is imprisoned, it will not appear and help you fulfill your only wish. If you touch it, it also has its own heartbeat. !" Abai unsuspectingly put the small red stone into Ruan Zhan's palm.
Ruan Zhan squeezed it a little harder, and sure enough he felt a slight heat and beating sensation in the stone.
"It's really magical." He said sincerely, "Just for these wonderful characteristics, shouldn't Sima South Africa want to get it? He shouldn't be like this."
Perhaps, Sima Nan desperately wanted to get this stone just because it would help him fulfill a wish! But this is just a stone after all. Even if it has extraordinary magical properties, what can it do? Or maybe, is he going to use it to make elixirs?
"I don't know." Abai shook her beautiful little head, "I don't know why he insists on this stone, but I know he wants it. I kept waiting for him to speak to me, but He just didn't say it. He probably thought it was a treasure and I wouldn't give it to him easily. He was afraid that I would refuse, so he kept searching for it secretly without asking me. In fact, he wanted anything from me, as long as I had it, even if it was How could I not give him my life?! I just want him to answer one question from me. If he answers wrongly, he will-" Abai suddenly stopped and stopped talking.
Ruan Zhan didn’t even ask.
He originally wanted to ask Abai to borrow this stone as bait to lure Sima Nan into the trap he had set, but he could hear how important this stone was to Abai, so he gave up his idea. I will not force others to do my own thing.
"I can't give you the stone." Abai understood Ruan Zhan's thoughts very well, "But you can say that the stone is in your hand, and you can still lead him to the tower. But I beg you, don't kill him. He, at least - don't kill him before I meet him. I know he has done a lot of wrong things, but -"
"I agree." Ruan Zhan agreed without hesitation, because he could not refuse such an infatuated Abai. But then he smiled bitterly, "Maybe Xiaoxia should have said this to Sima Nan. If I fight with him, he has a greater chance of winning."
He understands his current situation very well.
Having been here for a week, except for drinking a little water from Bagua in the basement under the tower, he has not touched his teeth at all. The other people who are still alive have had their souls removed, which can be said to have cut off human life needs, but he has always been in the state of a living person. Although he could use his psychic powers to temporarily eliminate the need for food and water, his body was still much weaker than usual, not to mention that he had lost a lot of blood just now.
His spell ability was already at a disadvantage compared to Sima Nan, and now his only physical advantage has been compromised. It will be even more difficult for him to defeat Sima Nan. Although he still had a trump card in his hand, it was an uncertain factor. He didn't know whether it would be useful at the critical moment.
"Master often said that unreasonable things will not exist for a long time. He blindly goes against nature like this - I have a hunch -" Abai once again did not say any more, but just sat down with a sad look on his face. On the railing beside the corridor, I was lost in my own thoughts.
She is a forbidden person given by heaven and cannot marry a normal man. She can only take a medicine ghost as her husband. However, she cannot bear to take the life of a young child every once in a while just to serve the medicine ghost, so she decided A life of loneliness.
But one day, she met him - a wandering soul wandering in the mountains and forests. He worked so hard to protect his soul and tried every means to be reborn, yet he was so lonely, which made her deeply pity him. So she helped him, and although she couldn't bring him back to life, she made him a drug-ghost-like person, except that he didn't have to feed on young children.
She has stayed in this mountain forest since she was born, and he has traveled all over the world, so in order to thank her, he often comes to chat with her and tell her many novel and beautiful stories. It was he who told her how big the world was, how beautiful and colorful the world outside the mountains was, and gave her a completely different and novel world. They also studied each other's spells, because he said that spells from different sects and styles can learn from each other even though they have the same sect.
Gradually, she got used to his company and her life with him, and unknowingly she kept him deeply in her heart. How could she not love him because he was so different, with such a big heart, his elegant conversation, his profound knowledge, and his tenderness towards her?
Although she dreamed of black camellias!
The master loved her as a disciple very much during his lifetime, so he tried his best to predict the future for her before his death. The master said: If she meets a man and then dreams of black camellias, she must kill the man, because he is the calamity in her life!
When she found out that she fell in love with him, she dreamed of black camellias for seven days in a row. She knew that she was doomed, but how could she do it? She already loves him so much that she can sacrifice her own life! Even if she didn't kill him, she wouldn't live to be twenty-five, even though she knew that he didn't love her that much!
She understood very well that at first he just wanted to repay his kindness, or maybe it was because of loneliness, but later, he became interested in her and wanted to get more witchcraft secrets from her, and even more so, he wanted to get the stone. She knew all this, but she still couldn't control her own heart. She allowed him to deceive her, and she also allowed herself to deceive her own heart.
In fact, that stone would not be of any use to him. Although she didn't know why he wanted it so much, she kept using that stone to tie his heart and kept him from leaving her until she died!
She knew that her life was about to end, and she also understood that her magic power was gradually weakening because of her true feelings, so she took in two apprentices by mistake in her anxiety. When she enlightened their ignorance, she discovered that one of them was raped. The one who overestimates his ability, the other has a vicious personality, cares about every penny, harbors hostility and hatred for the world, and will definitely not bring peace and tranquility to the mountains and forests!
She wanted to make amends, but was unable to do so, so she could only learn from her master. At the end of her life, she tried her best to ask the gods of all things to give her a prophecy of the future, and then made arrangements, hoping that future generations would be able to With her help, eliminate the apprentice who has become a scourge.
These actions accelerated the consumption of her life, so she died before she could give him the stone, and he trapped her soul at the bottom of the well. She still does not understand the real reason why he did this. .
Is he afraid that she will find out his true feelings and take revenge on him? But she had known this for a long time, but she never thought of doing anything bad to him!
Thinking of this, Abai's heart tingled. After all these years, she still feels uncomfortable every time she thinks about this. In fact, he doesn't have to love her that much. As long as there is a little sincerity, she will be satisfied and she will feel that all her love is worth it.
She looked up and saw Ruan Zhan still standing there, quietly and without saying a word.
"Don't worry about me, just make preparations. He will come at any time." She stood up, walked to Ruan Zhan and chanted a few spells, "This is the transfer technique. Both Amu and Awu have used it. , can help you deflect some attacks. It’s a little late for you to learn now, but you are extremely talented, I hope I can help you.”
"A Bai, you don't have to be like this." Ruan Zhan sighed, knowing how difficult it was for A Bai to make this decision.
His victory means Sima Nan's defeat. She loves Sima Nan so much, so doing this is tantamount to betraying her sweetheart. This is the most uncomfortable thing for a loyal and persistent person like Abai. But she actually chose to help him at the last moment, leaving him at a loss for words.
"Give this back to you." He handed the red stone back to Abai.
Abai took the stone and rubbed it gently, "I did it for Xiaoxia. She was so good to me, I should repay her." Abai lowered his head and watched the small red stone slowly disappear in the palm of his hand. "She loves you as much as I love Anan. If we are separated forever, she will be heartbroken to death."
Thinking of Xiao Xia, Ruan Zhan's heart tightened.
"Now, go and wake up Xiaoxia. Then I will take her to hide far away and never watch the duel between you men!" Abai pretended to be relaxed and let out a sigh, "Do you want to That's what you do, right?"
Ruan Zhan was speechless, just nodded, and then entered the tower for the third time, sent Xiao Xia's soul that was attached to his button back into her body, and watched her gently wake up.
"Is everything over?" As soon as Xiaoxia's soul returned to her body, she immediately turned over and sat up, hugging Ruan Zhan's waist tightly.
Her soul has been sealed by Ruan Zhan, and she does not know any information from the outside world, which makes her extremely anxious. Nothing makes her feel more at ease than seeing Ruan Zhan's face when she opens her eyes.
"It's almost over, just a little bit away. Don't worry, it's almost over." Ruan Zhan stroked her hair and whispered.
Xiao Xia nestled comfortably in his arms, rubbing her face gently on his chest, savoring the rare tranquility in these days. But at this moment, a **** smell suddenly rushed into her nose. When she raised her head, she saw that half of Ruan Zhan's clothes were stained red with blood. She was so horrified that she immediately sat upright and had to cover her mouth with her hands to prevent herself from screaming.
"This is not as powerful as it looks, it's just a trick I used." Ruan Zhan said lightly.
Xiaoxia knew that he was comforting her, but she didn't expose it. It seems that Sima Nan hasn't come yet, but just subduing these resentful spirits has caused him to be so seriously injured. But he wanted her to feel at ease, so she would act like she was at ease, and then he would also feel at ease.
She can't stop this battle, so she won't stop it. But she can keep him from worrying so that he can concentrate on fighting that dangerous enemy!
"You have to come back alive." She lay in his arms again, careful not to touch his wounds, "But no matter what the outcome is, just try your best. Anyway, I have a plan. You give birth, and I will accompany you. Life; if you die, I will let you go."
"Xiao Xia——"
"You don't need to persuade me, you know how willful I am. I have decided to be with you and never be separated. Now tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Xiao Xia's words made Ruan Zhan's heart seem to be surrounded by a warm current, and for a moment he felt that he could beat Sima Nan. He hugged her tightly, letting her heart beat against his, "I want you and Abai to leave. Don't come back until things here are over, even if I die. We want to be together forever, right? Okay. , I promise you. But you have to wait for me, no matter it is a human or a ghost, I will find you. Do you believe me?"
Xiaoxia nodded vigorously to express how much she believed it, but tears could not help but rush to her eyes.
How she loved him! She has always loved her, although she never dared to say it before coming here. Unexpectedly, after she expressed her feelings, they could only get along for such a short time, and then they would have to face an unknown future.
"But you don't have to worry too much, I will definitely win, because I always win." Ruan Zhan held up Xiaoxia's face and stared into her tearful eyes, "You still have countless wonderful possibilities in your future. I won’t let you end your wonderful life early.”
"I'm not worried, as long as we're together."
Ruan Zhan gave Xiao Xia a very affirmative look, "Okay, you go outside now, Abai will take you to a safe place. Wait for me obediently, I said I will definitely find you. ”
"Yes." Xiaoxia responded softly.
Since she can't help him, she won't hold him back, let alone increase his burden like a mother-in-law. The calmer she appears, the more confident he will feel.
Ruan Zhan kissed her on the lips and then let her go, fearing that he would forget important things if he lingered too much.
The atmosphere in the air is different now. It feels quite heavy, as if even the air was full of moisture before it rained. This means one thing - Sima Nan is coming soon!
