Chapter 7 The Yin Child Chapter 47: Stand Up Again
When she woke up the next day, Xiao Xia was sore all over.
I don’t know how much pain Ruan Zhan has accumulated in his heart, but I only know that he hugged her and refused to let go. At first, he kept trembling. Later, although he calmed down, he still refused to let go. She had to let him hug him and use this silent comfort to calm the turmoil in his heart.
At some point, they were tired of standing and lay down on the bed. Ruan Zhan tied her up with her limbs as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw. The first time they slept together was spent in this way, because they kept the posture of being wrapped in his arms all night, and Xiao Xia felt that the bones in her body were about to fall apart.
When Ruan Zhan got up in the morning, Xiaoxia was awake, but to avoid embarrassment, she pretended to continue to sleep. She felt that he stood by the bed and watched her for a while before leaving. And when he left, his breathing was steady and his steps were calm, and she knew that he had recovered from the unexpected blow.
Last night, I only had to comfort him and felt sorry for him. I didn't think about it. When I recalled it in the morning, I suddenly felt that this feeling of closeness seemed familiar, and I had the hope of being with him like this forever.
And when she was slowing downstairs and immersed in the love between children, the three men had already started another conversation downstairs and were about to do serious things.
"Do you have any plans?" Wanli asked tentatively.
Ruan Zhan's expression when he walked out the door was really terrifying. He knew that he had suffered a big blow. No one could calm down after facing his biological father for many years, let alone a person as serious as Ruan Zhan! Over the years, he thought he was very anxious and wise, but he didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Xiaoxia chased him out.
"Of course I have plans. Otherwise, do you think I like talking to you very much?"
Although Ruan Zhan said something, Wan Li was very happy. They usually talk like this and they can't help but bicker. Now Ruan Zhan has regained his usual attitude of talking to him, proving that Ruan Zhan has begun to accept reality in his heart.
"Do you think the matter of uncle is related to those two demon children?" Bao Datong asked.
Wan Li was shocked, afraid that the matter would stimulate Ruan Zhan again after mentioning it so soon, and wanted to stop Bao Datong, but he didn't have time. He looked up at Ruan Zhan and saw that he had no abnormal behavior, so he felt relieved.
Ruan Zhan shook his head, "To be honest, I don't know. He had no external injuries and died for no more than two days, but when I detected his body, I felt that he was not normal - death, and the soul was stiff and decisive when it left the body, which was not in line with common sense." He looked indifferent, as if he was talking about other people's affairs, but when he said the word "death", he still revealed that he had just calmed down, but the wound in his heart was far from healing.
Bao Datong nodded, "I feel the same way. But I don't know if you have ever thought about why he appeared there? And with his Taoist skills, no matter how powerful the two demon children are, they cannot easily kill him even if they join forces. Could it be that there are even more powerful monsters? However, there is no demonic energy nearby, and there is no trace of demonic energy on him. So why did he suffer?"
It’s not like a fraud again, right? But with Ruan Zhan and Bao Datong’s current eyesight, he shouldn’t be mistaken. He should have really passed away this time.
The three of them were silent for a while, and no one could answer this question. After a while, Ruan Zhan sat down and planned to explain the matter openly and clearly. In fact, this was a mystery. But the old mystery had just been solved, and a bigger new mystery appeared again.
"This matter starts from the beginning." He suppressed his emotions that were about to fluctuate and said slowly, "My father passed away suddenly and was also very strange. When I went home to attend the funeral, I found that his eyes were blood red, and I also had hallucinations. I saw a man engraved a talisman on his flesh and blood body and gave my father an invisible thing, but I couldn't see the face of that person, nor did I know what the thing was. But after taking the thing, my father seemed to know that his deadline was coming, and began to prepare, and then waited for death to come calmly. Therefore, his bizarre death has always been my heart knot. After Sima Nan's death, I immediately returned to my hometown and dug up my father's grave with my own hands!"
"What's strange is that before I dug the grave, I found that someone had moved my father's grave before me. I don't know who took the lead, nor why it prompted that person to do so, so I could only continue to dig it down. As a result, the situation in the grave was exactly the same as I expected. My father's body was gone, and now it seems that he was cheating death from the beginning. And the person before me must be a person with a high level of Taoism, because I have checked inch by inch the ground nearby, including the inside of the grave, without a trace, which means that the person was carrying objects in the air. Maybe it's not difficult to carry objects in the air, but the distance is so far, and it's still a large human being. In this case, it's very difficult to leave no trace."
"It's very difficult." Bao Datong nodded and frowned. Unexpectedly, there were still many talented people and strangers hidden in this world.
"Actually, I didn't gain anything, because I found something in the coffin, a crystal knife, the material was extremely pure, and it was purer than Duan Jin's Yin and Yang eyes. If I didn't use other things to reflect it, I wouldn't see it at all. At that time, my hand was cut, and blood formed a blood line in the blood groove of the blade, which I wouldn't go away for a long time." Ruan Zhan said as he raised his left hand. When Wanli and Bao Datong looked, they found that there was a long wound on his palm. Although there was no blood, it had not been completely healed. "I don't know what the use of this knife is, but the place where I cut it cannot heal."
"Or this crystal knife is what the person who carved the talisman in his body gave you to his father. I think my uncle's previous fraud is also a mystery, otherwise why would there be hallucinations? Maybe he left this hallucination and the crystal knife to you on purpose, and let you get it in the end." Wanli said.
"Is it an ordinary thing?" Bao Datong asked.
"On the surface, except for the material and cut wounds, there is no other abnormality." Ruan Zhan paused, "But I always think this is something more powerful than the Blood Wood Sword, the Remnant Break Banner and the Destruction Seal. But I don't know its use at the moment, or it's not time yet."
"Let the knife be put in advance, let's talk about the people first." Wanli interrupted, "Why does Sima Nan know these things? I feel like there is an invisible hand behind me to arrange you into a bureau."
"It's not someone behind it, it must be the arrangement of 'he'." Ruan Zhan whispered.
Wanli and Bao Datong looked at each other and knew that this concealing blood relationship had caused a lot of harm to Ruan Zhan. He was not so easy to understand. It was already very good to be able to treat it calmly now. It took time and the answer to the mystery to completely heal the trauma.
"It's not that I defended my uncle, because I don't know the details here, but I think he had to do this back then." Wanli said sincerely, "Remember the child we met when we were young who forced us to play hide-and-seek? After you fainted, my uncle saved us. He also asked me to swear not to say that and leave a friend for you. Azhan, I still clearly remember his expression at that time. He loved you very much, no less than any father who loved his son. He would feel even more uncomfortable than you in his heart when he did this."
"I feel the same way," Bao Datong continued, "It happened so suddenly yesterday, and I didn't say it. In fact, although your father brought you to my house once, he and my father often met. His time and space distortion technique is much better than you. He just waved his hand and pointed it, unlike you who had to draw a talisman for a long time. At that time, I loved to eavesdrop on them the most. I saw that although he was harsh and cold in front of you, he was very kind when talking about you with my father. When I saw you, his eyes would shine."
Is that true? Are they saying it? But why is the warmth in his memory only once? Since he loves him, why should he be allowed to be bullied and hurt in the cold and cruel worldly ways? Even if he had no choice, what could make his father achieve such a decisive decision?!
"Please comfort me." He was upset, but he suppressed the fluctuations in his heart and decided to focus on the "serious" things first.
"Why am I comforting you, you are a big man, and you are still giving you a kiss?" Bao Datong said, "But what is that arrangement? Why should he be arranged in? Why is it him? Why is it not me? Is it because of your special physique, God's arrangement? Or is there any unknown reason?"
"I think there must be a very helpless reason. No father in the world will harm his son unless he can't help himself, unless there is no other way. Believe me, my uncle must be kind." Wanli recalled how Ruan Zhan's father's gentle eyes flashed across Ruan Zhan's body in the deserted garden, and his love and compassion couldn't help but reveal it. Maybe when Ruan Zhan didn't know, he looked at his son like this! Ruan Zhan may not be a good thing to be kept in the dark. It must be heartbreaking for him who knows that the person in front of him is his own flesh and blood, but cannot recognize each other, and still maintains indifference and indifference. It must be heartbreaking, and it's not easy!
At that time, he still touched his head and said: Good boy, let you remember this. I don’t know when it will die. This child needs a friend, and it’s so pitiful to be alone.
"We will put the matters of knife and human affairs first." Ruan Zhan avoided the question. Whether to love or not is something that cannot be mentioned for him today. "Let's just summarize how many questions there need to be answered first."
"It seems like a lot." Bao Datong scratched his head.
"It's a lot, but it seems that there is a line that can string them together." Wanli also changed the topic of father-son relationship and said, "First, is it a natural disaster or a man-made disaster when Azhan was a child? Later, he returned to his father's side by intention or unintentional?"
"I tend to be that he threw me away, and it was his arrangement for me when I came back."
"You can't be inclined. Many things don't have deeper reasons as we think. Even what we see with our own eyes and hear with our own ears may be false." Wanli pushed down Ruan Zhan's judgment, "The truth will not be revealed until the end of this matter. Your assumption is unfair to my uncle!"
Ruan Zhan raised his hand and said that Wan Li was right, and he agreed unconditionally.
"Who is Azhan's mother? When did his father give birth to him?" Bao Datong said.
Ruan Zhan was suffocated. He never thought about this problem, because after he became sensible, he never thought about who his mother was. It was definitely not the mother he was five years old. Although he was young at that time, he also remembered that he was just an ordinary woman. People like his father would not fall in love with such a woman. But since when did his father’s image in his mind be so amazing, and he would feel that worldly women are not worthy of him!
"That is included in the first question. Don't interrupt me, listen to me. Otherwise, everything will be messed up." Wanli corrected the topic, "Second, as a father, why should he be so cold to his own flesh and blood, but why did he teach his abilities? Is there any purpose? If so, he had a premonition of something terrible?"
"Third, why is Azhan in trouble with the three?"
"Fourth, why did my uncle pretend to die? Since he pretended to die, why did Azhan have hallucinations? What did he want to tell Azhan? Who was the person who couldn't see the face in the hallucination? Later, when Azhan went to dig a grave, who was the one who took the lead? Are they the same person?"
"Fifth, what's going on with that crystal knife? Why should I leave it to Azhan? What's the use?"
"Sixth, how could Sima Nan know these things, what kind of master-apprentice relationship does he have with his uncle?"
"Seventh, since I have been cheated, why have I been staying in the grave and left after Sima Nan revealed the information to Azhan? Why did I go to Xitoudian after leaving?"
"Eighth, how did he die? Was that hurt the demon child?"
"Ninth, others are gone, where has their soul gone? He is an amazing person and cannot be like a mortal. If his soul is alive, then has he left?"
"The tenth, that is, the last question - if all this is just a game, then what kind of role do each of us have in the game? What is this game? Why is this game?"
Wan Li finished speaking in one breath, and even he was shocked. It turned out that there were so many things they had to solve. So many problems, one by one, one by one, seemed to be caused by a plan that was set up earlier when Ruan Zhan was born or even longer. But what was that?
Another silence.
Finally, Ruan Zhanxian said, "Don't think about it, solve the problem of the demon child first. I came back from my hometown and found the mystery of my father's death. I originally thought that the person who couldn't see his face was the key to solving the problem, so I thought that I would interfere with any supernatural incidents. Because there are not many people like us in this world. If you often intervene in supernatural incidents, you will encounter them sooner or later. You can solve the mystery when you are uncovering it. Although it is a stupid method, it is also the only way. I didn't expect that after I intervened in one thing, I got his - death message. So I think it's either he was leading me or my stupid method is correct, so we just keep doing this method."
"I hope those two demon children are not Azhan's enemies who killed his father, otherwise some of them will be unlucky." Bao Datong murmured in a low voice, and saw the person who was suffering from emotional damage stand up again. Although the scars in his heart are still there, his personality seems to be stronger.
