Where the door opened, Ruan Zhan and Xiaoxia stood there.

Xiao Xia covered her mouth with an incredible look on her face. The scream was obviously made by her, while Ruan Zhan stood straight, neither trembling nor expression, but her face was white.

Bao Datong and Wanli were pretending downstairs just now, but he didn't seem to notice it, but in fact he saw it all. This made him keenly feel that there was something wrong, and the problem must be because of him. Xiao Xia happened to say that he wanted to move some drinks downstairs, so the two went upstairs together.

He has always been afraid of noisy, so the design of the room upstairs is very soundproof, but Wanli and Bao Datong didn't even close the door, which made him hear the conversation coming from the room as soon as he went upstairs. For some reason, maybe it was just a feeling, he and Xiaoxia couldn't help but let go of light steps and approach the door, so they heard everything they should have heard.

His body stiffened, and he walked in step by step, his doubts in his heart continued to grow.

"That - Azhan, maybe it's just a person who looks similar, not an uncle." Bao Datong explained. He and Wanli didn't realize that someone was eavesdropping, so the situation in front of him surprised him and didn't know how to express his meaning. "I haven't seen such a strange thing, so I'm a little fussy. In fact, the possibility of looking similar is really great. Really! You also know, I'm a local bun, and I haven't seen the world, haha ​​- I was shocked at that time." He laughed dryly, trying to cover it up, but Ruan Zhan's eyes were like a knife, forcing him to hide.

"Just say it." Wanli sighed lightly.

"Okay, I say, it's an irrelevant person or thing anyway!" Bao Datong muttered, giving himself a little psychological hint, making him more convinced that the deceased just looked very similar to Ruan Zhan's father. It would be easier for him to tell the truth out of it.

"After we divided the troops into three groups, didn't I go to Xitoudian? The weather was hot, and I was afraid that the corpse would rot, so I rushed there as quickly as possible. In fact, the road was very smooth - OK OK, I'll tell the point." Bao Datong glanced at Ruan Zhan and gritted his teeth. "The villagers of Xitoudian were very scared because of the witch's affairs. The corpse was washed down from the mountain by rain. Therefore, they had not called the police or buryed. They just covered the mat and sent two brave old men to watch. When I mentioned you, they immediately took me to see it. I lifted the mat and almost sat on the ground. He had a face exactly the same as his uncle. But after shock, I thought, he must not be an uncle. Anyway, the world is so big and there are all kinds of wonders. Even if they look like twins, by the way, maybe they are really my uncle's twin brothers, and they are separated from birth. This must be the case."

Bao Datong said in a nagging manner, convincing himself. But deep down in his heart, he was like a piece of land, and he kept growing uneasy weeds, allowing him to pull them all out again and again, but the weeds grew at a faster speed. Perhaps in his subconscious, he had already determined that the corpse was Ruan Zhan's father!

Ruan Zhan's father is a person with great magic and Taoism, older than his father. Others may not know his father's true age. Don't he know? Although these two old men have a young son, they are actually over 100 years old. Although they appear to be in their sixties on the outside, they are really in their sixties. So, even if Ruan Zhan's father really has a twin brother who has been separated for many years, that person who has not practiced Taoism will not live to this age.

There is another ironclad evidence, that Taoist robe.

Now is no longer the era when Taoist art is popular. Apart from filming and TV dramas, who can wear Taoist robes? That's so weird, so Ruan Zhan's father has nothing. Last time he brought Ruan Zhan to his house, the two old men talked about this, and his father was happy and gave him a Taoist robes he had treasured for many years to Ruan Zhan's father.

The Taoist robe was apricot yellow, with black edges on the collar and cuffs. The belt was embroidered with golden light spells, mixed with seven red bats. When he saw this scene, he almost laughed out loud, thinking that the robe was too fancy. Unexpectedly, his father, who was a simple old farmer, had such a thing hidden. With his father's expression like offering treasures, he was really a teenager. But when he saw this piece of clothing dirty by mud on the corpse, his heart was indescribable. This was impossible to fake. Only people from their sect could recognize the golden light spell.

However, he knew that Ruan Zhan's father had passed away in high school, so this situation was unacceptable to him. Therefore, he didn't know how to mention this matter to Ruan Zhan, and always felt that there was a big secret hidden in it, which was something that everyone could not bear!

Humans are animals with emotions. Because they have emotions, they are weak. When weak humans encounter unacceptable facts, they will unconsciously choose to escape and will desperately convince themselves that the fact is not true. This is how he is. Since he saw the corpse, he has been constantly denying that it is definitely not Ruan Zhan’s father, although he knows in his heart that it is!

"Take me to see." Ruan Zhan banged four words hard.

"Go and see? No need! I've already buryed him, so it's better to get buried as soon as possible!" Seeing Ruan Zhan's look like a knife, Bao Datong gave up completely, "Okay, look at the photos I took first. I know this is disrespectful to the deceased, but I think you need to confirm it." He took out his cell phone, "I have tried to take pictures as clearly as possible, not only on the face, but also on other more obvious features. I found on the soles of his feet-"

Before he finished speaking, Ruan Zhan snatched Bao Datong's phone. He looked at the phone, Bao Datong and Wanli looked at his face, while Xiao Xia was still standing by the door blankly. She vaguely understood what they said, and was a little at a loss about what Bao Datong said. From her direction, she could only see Ruan Zhan's back, and she felt that his back was straighter than usual, as if she was trying hard to withstand something.

"Take me to see." Ruan Zhan put down his cell phone, his face becoming paler.

"But, you recognize it - I mean - will you go tomorrow?" Bao Datong looked at Wanli with help, and Wanli shook his head.

"Don't let me say it for the third time."

"Okay, I'll book the air ticket right away."

"No need." Ruan Zhan said as he reached out to grab Bao Datong's arm, drew a talisman in the void, and stepped out with one foot.

Bao Datong knew his time and space distortion technique, but it was the first time he felt it himself. He felt a flash in front of him and returned to the entrance of Xitoudian Village. Ruan Zhan had not reached the foot of the back mountain, so he could not get there directly, so they had to walk over.

Bao Datong sighed in his heart, thinking that he had just pretended to be the old man and was not buried. Perhaps he was subconsciously waiting for Ruan Zhan to come and take a look in person!

Under the gloomy sunlight, in the dense shade of a big locust tree at the foot of the mountain, a simple coffin was parked alone, as if it was part of the locust tree stretching out, waiting quietly for something. The atmosphere, this environment, the air condensed into water in the air, made all this look particularly strange. In the July fire weather, people couldn't help but feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts. The moment Ruan Zhan saw the coffin, his feet were obviously stuck, and then he walked over like he made some decision.

Bao Datong stopped a few meters behind him. Seeing him gently opening the lid of the coffin, he bent down to check carefully, and repeatedly checked the soles of the body's right foot, then straightened up and closed the lid of the coffin again.

"Is it him?" Bao Datong asked nervously when he saw Ruan Zhan walking back step by step.

"Please let the villagers get buried first." Ruan Zhan said calmly, but the voice sounded extremely depressing, as if something was rolling in his heart and would break out at any time. "I am also a son of man, so it is always inappropriate to let him corpse in the wilderness."

Sure enough!

Bao Datong opened his mouth but did not say a word. He just followed Ruan Zhan to the village, saw him ask him to persuade the village chief to bury the poor man who died in a foreign land first in the village cemetery, and promised to give Xitoudian Village a large amount of benefits. When he did all this, he was so orderly and steadily, as if he was doing something stranger. Only his intentionally slowed down his torture, and his low voice suppressing his emotions revealed his inner suffering.

All of this was done, and Ruan Zhan took Bao Datong back to the bar without looking back. Because it was already open, they went directly to Bao Datong's room upstairs. They saw Wanli and Xiaoxia staying there, the same as when they left. After a few hours, it seemed as if time had stopped.

The four of them looked at each other, but no one spoke, and there was a terrible silence in the air. After a while, Bao Datong was the first to be able to hold on.

"This is the thing-"

"My father passed away." Ruan Zhan interrupted Bao Datong, "This time it's true."

"Azhan-" Wanli spoke with difficulty. In fact, he had this premonition and preparation, but he still didn't know how to deal with it at this moment.

Ruan Zhan's extremely pale face, his stiff body, and his terrifying calm all made people feel that he suffered the most serious blow in his life. This blow could not have been caused by the death of his father, and there must be a deeper reason.

He raised his hand and stopped Wanli from talking. He stretched out his finger to draw the talisman, as if he was going to a place where no one was, but half of the talisman was drawn, and his hand stopped in the air and could not draw it. He always liked to be alone and had always been used to avoiding others. At this moment, he felt that there was no place to hide, a dull, uninhabited, silent place, whether it was a cave or a grave, as long as no one touched him, he would not collapse on the spot.

At this time, the Taoist Dharma was useless! He smiled bitterly in his heart and moved his footsteps. It would be more reliable to use the feet of his body!

"Don't hide!" A female voice sounded, and a slim figure flashed by her side. Her two slender arms wrapped around her waist and hugged him firmly, "Don't keep it in your heart! Say it out!"

He looked down at Xiao Xia's beautiful face. It was warm, passionate, and lightly moused in his heart. At this moment, he suddenly felt endless sorrow. By the end of next year, he would die. In his short thirty-three years of life, she was his only fire, but if his life itself was a inferior product, if the inner world he built collapsed at this moment, should he let her leave so as not to bury her?!

He broke free from her, turned slowly, and looked at Wanli and Bao Datong.

If these two men were usually the characters who had a long and laughter, but now they looked at them at a loss. What is this? Care is confusing?! Then let's say it! Anyway, it's just that!

"Remember what Sima Nan said to me before his death, Wanli?" He spoke, his throat was dry, and it took some effort to spit out a word.

"He said: Ye Fenghuan, Yin and Yangji, and, are you sure he is dead?" Wanli murmured, "What's wrong?"

"I got the answer today." His face was expressionless, and his eyes as dark as a deep pool no longer had a deep feeling, and it seemed a little hollow.

Wanli knew about this, but Xiaoxia and Bao Datong were confused. But Ruan Zhan kept saying word by word, "Yefenghuan answered the relationship between me and Sima Nan. He changed countless skins, but his identity will not change. He is my father's master, to be precise, my master!"

Everyone was shocked. They thought about the various relationships between Sima Nan and Ruan Zhan, but never expected it to be like this. No wonder he and Ruan Zhan had many similarities in fighting gestures. The differences were probably because Ruan Zhan did not learn Taoism directly from his father, but instead found it himself with his innate ability and the mental formula left by his father. Because he learned it without a teacher, he joined his own innovation!

Ruan Zhan ignored what others thought and continued, "Yinyang level is a birthmark in the shape of a yin and yang fish. It is very magical and belongs to the dominant inheritance. It can only be passed down between biological father and son. There is one under my feet, and of course my biological father also has one in the same place."

Speaking of this, Bao Datong stood up, "He is your biological child - didn't he say he was his adoptive father?" He had seen the soles of the corpse's feet, and there was indeed a birthmark that looked very similar to the Yin-Yang Oscillator on it. He also took a photo with his mobile phone as an important feature!

"Yes, he is my biological father, and I just knew it." Ruan Zhan answered stiffly when he heard his voice, saying without any sense of emotion. But can he really remain indifferent? Why do he feel that something is cracking in his heart?!

"I don't need to answer the last question. He is not dead, but he is dead now! That's it." After he used his last control to say this, he turned around and walked out of the door.

If Sima Nan was Ruan Zhan’s master, he had already shocked the other three people, then it was a complete accident that Ruan Zhan’s adoptive father was actually his biological father, which completely shocked them. When Ruan Zhan’s lonely figure disappeared by the door, Xiao Xia took the lead in reacting and chasing him out.

She saw Ruan Zhan holding the wall with his hands and walking in the corridor without purpose, and her whole body was distracted, and she twisted up with pain. She pulled him to her room, and he let her pull him. She pressed him to sit on the bed, and he sat on the bed without saying a word.

"Say something, don't scare me!" Xiao Xia sat beside him, holding his hand tightly, staring at his expressionless face, afraid that his soul would leave his body, "Please have some reaction, I'm very scared! I'm very afraid of you like this!"

She is really scared!
