The Exorcist

Chapter 29: Xiao Yin hides in the wild

Fake Xiaoxia stood in the corridor under the tower, looking a little unwilling.

Mao Fu did not succeed in the assassination. She had already expected that the man named Ruan was not an ordinary man. Even if he was meditating, his extraordinary keen intuition could still work. What's a pity for her is that Mao Fu didn't die and Ruan Zhan didn't kill him out of anger!

Mao Fu was one of the sinners back then. Even though he was not the person in charge, he deserved to die! Everyone who participated in that year will die! Those who have died must be repaid one by one by their descendants! In her opinion, it is only natural that the debts of the father should be paid by the son! But the man who helped them, Zhang Qun, said that Mao Fu should be spared as an internal response. She agreed, but she was unwilling to do so.

So she came up with a trick to ask Mao Fu to assassinate Ruan Zhan. It would be nice to be able to hurt him, but what she expected was to be able to kill Mao Fu with Ruan Zhan's hands. In this way, she would not only seek repayment for their group of people who died in vain. Justice was achieved without breaking the promise to Zhang Qun. Of course, it would be the best outcome if both parties could suffer losses.

However, according to the report of the person she sent to monitor, Ruan Zhan did not kill Mao Fu, but knocked him unconscious, then took off Mao Fu's clothes, tied him up tightly, and threw him in the dark room at the top of the tower. inside!

The energy in that dark room was too great. She couldn't get in and could only linger outside the door. Should Mao Fu be allowed to go free?

"What should we do now?" An old voice came from the thick fog.

"Third uncle, that Ruan Zhan is hiding in the tower and can't come out. What can Sister Xinxin do?" said a young man, who was the resentful spirit that occupied Reporter Ma's body.

"Then let's spend it like this. No one can come in or out from here anyway. If they don't starve to death, they will die of thirst!" A woman said bitterly, "Let them have a taste of what it was like back then!"

"The problem is that the only real person now is the one named Ruan. The other people are all attached to the porcelain dolls and will not feel thirsty or hungry at all. But the person named Ruan is probably not so easily affected." Three Uncle seemed to be relatively calm and said slowly, "Also, if you wait too long, who knows to what extent Ruan Zhan's power will be restored? Xinxin said that his mana was not consumed in the tower, but increased. It’s big, right Xinxin?”

The fake Xiaoxia, known as Xinxin, didn't look back, still staring at the tower that stood still, "Yes, I used his girlfriend's body to get close to his body many times. I really feel that his abilities are better than when he entered the tower. Be strong.”

"Then what should we do if he is not under the control of this tower?" The young man shouted helplessly.

"How about burning this tower with fire?" Another voice suggested in the thick fog, "If you don't believe it, he won't come out!"

This time, Xinxin quickly turned his head, stared at a gray figure in the mist and said loudly: "Don't make random ideas if you don't understand the situation. You haven't forgotten that we are ghosts, right? In addition to will-o'-wisps, what kind of fire can ghosts create? You probably remember that ghosts are afraid of fire, and for us, it was like a nightmare - those fires, and then another -" She couldn't go on, and there was a 'buzzing' in the mist. It was clear that many 'people' remembered what Xinxin said.

"What should we do?" The third uncle's voice became louder, and the surrounding area immediately fell silent.

Xinxin didn't speak for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and said: "Dongzi, Yaya, I, and I can't deal with him, but there are so many of us, and since he won't come out, we'll lure him out and kill him!"

"What are you going to do?" 'Reporter Ma' asked, "What if we can't defeat him if he comes out?"

"I can't control that much anymore. We have to fight hard to defeat him, otherwise we won't be able to get revenge!" Xinxin gritted his teeth and said, "Now I will go in and entangle him. This skin can help me block the power in the tower. . And you two-" She pointed to 'Reporter Ma' and 'Liu Hong' on the side, "You go in quietly and take down the porcelain statues of the survivors, but don't hurt them. They are ours. Bait, when the time comes, both the porcelain statue and the body of his sweetheart are in our hands, and we can destroy whichever one we want, won't he give in?"

She snorted coldly and walked towards the tower.

Her resentment is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea. She cannot calm down her anger without avenging this blood feud, so no matter who stands in the way, she will find ways to get rid of him!

Ruan Zhan is very powerful, but this can't stop her actions. If she can't make a soft knife, she will just go head-on with him, even if we both die together, she won't hesitate!

She walked up resolutely, and 'Liu Hong' and 'Reporter Ma' were not far behind her. I just arrived on the eighth floor and happened to see Ruan Zhan walking downstairs!

"Azhan, you're out, are you completely fine?" She immediately smiled and took a few steps forward.

Hearing her loud voice, her two men stopped and hid in the darkness on the seventh floor.

I saw a gentle smile on Ruan Zhan's face, but his eyes were still looking ahead blankly, "My eyes are still not good, I can only see a little shadow. But fortunately I can see a little shadow, otherwise -" He sighed and stretched out his hand to her, "Stay with me and don't go far."

Xinxin hesitantly handed her hand to Ruan Zhan's. The warmth in his palm made her feel a little frightened for no reason, "What's wrong?"

"That rich guy just went crazy. He wants to kill me."

"How are you? Are you injured?" Xinxin pretended to be concerned and touched Ruan Zhan's body with one hand, exploring his weaknesses. But wherever he got his hands, as long as he applied a little bit of yin power, he would be bounced away by the invisible spiritual energy in his body. It could be seen that the tower really couldn't do anything to him, and his expression changed.

Ruan Zhan grabbed her little hand that was resting on his chest, "Xiao Xia, I'm telling you, don't touch around on a man, otherwise the consequences will be - you may go off and hurt yourself." He said and held her hand. His wrist, intentionally or unintentionally, he used his middle finger to clasp her pulse door. He only felt that the skin where he started was slippery, which made him feel a little strange, but he knew that his sweetheart was no longer in this body.

Xinxin struggled a bit, but did not break free, and was pulled downstairs by Ruan Zhan.

"What's standing next to this wall?" Ruan Zhan squinted his eyes and slowly pulled Xinxin closer to the glass cabinet. "Now that I think about it, didn't you say this is a temple tower? Is it enshrining something for Buddhism? Something?"

"It's nothing, it's just that the cabinet where things are placed is empty." Xinxin didn't want Ruan Zhan to get closer to the cabinet for fear that he would find something, but she found that Ruan Zhan was very powerful and she was inevitably pulled to the wall.

The glass on the cabinet was covered with thick dust. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see clearly the faces of the three-inch-tall porcelain figures inside the cabinet in this dark environment. Ruan Zhan remembered that Xiao Xia was placed on the cabinet facing the stairs, so he took the resentful spirit that occupied Xiao Xia's body and ran directly there.

He thought about finding the little porcelain doll, and then quickly replacing the soul of the resentful spirit before it could react. However, when he walked to the cabinet, he saw that it was empty and he couldn't help but be startled.

Where has Xiaoxia gone? She was obviously placed here!

However, it was just this moment that made Xinxin, who had begun to have doubts, immediately understand Ruan Zhan's intentions, especially the faint light of Ruan Zhan's deep eyes reflected on the dark glass, letting her know that Ruan Zhan Her eyes have recovered and she has seen through her true nature.

"Dongzi, Yaya, come up quickly." She screamed and tried her best to break free from Ruan Zhan's control.

However, the result of her struggling was that she felt a stream of heat coming from her veins, which tied her tightly like an invisible rope. She could not escape at all, whether it was her body or her soul. in this way!

Hearing her call, the two resentful spirits quickly ran to the eighth floor, but Ruan Zhan struck him with a thunderbolt in his palm, and the two resentful spirits immediately screamed and ducked aside.

They escaped in such a hurry that two black shadows pulled away from their respective bodies, and the bodies of Liu Hong and Reporter Ma fell to the ground exhausted. Without the protection of their physical bodies, their souls could not stay in the tower for long and immediately drifted away.

"What did you say? Ruan Zhan turned around and looked at Fake Xiaoxia, feeling very complicated in his heart.

He loved this face and this body, which he had always dreamed of and always wanted to hold in his arms. Although he now knew that 'she' was not her, he still could not be cruel to this body.

Moreover, his power is now weakening again. As time goes by, he will be discovered by this resentful spirit. Therefore, matters in the tower must be settled quickly!

Mao Fu's assassination made him understand that the resentful spirits couldn't wait any longer and were about to attack. He knew that they would definitely use those survivors, mainly Xiaoxia, to blackmail him, so he rushed over as soon as Mao Fu's matter was taken care of. He wanted to get the Xiaoxia porcelain doll first, but unexpectedly he happened to meet the resentful spirit.

He guessed that she must have gotten the news about Mao Fu and came to snatch those little porcelain figures, so when the fake Xiao Xia came to test him, he took her pulse gate so that she could not escape from Xiao Xia's body, and then wanted to When she got Xiaoxia's porcelain statue, she used all her power to exchange their souls. This way Xiaoxia was completely safe, and at the same time, she also locked up the resentful spirit who was obviously the leader.

But he didn't expect that Xiaoxia and Abai were moved by Mao Fu without permission and were no longer in their original places. This surprise was beyond his expectation. He was just stunned for a moment before he was noticed by this extremely alert resentful spirit!

"Let me go!" The resentful spirit Xinxin twisted her body desperately, and Ruan Zhan had to hold her waist tightly with his other hand. But as soon as she cried out in pain, his heart tightened again and he couldn't help but loosen his hand. Opened up a bit.

At this fleeting opportunity, Fake Xiaoxia took out a hand, and her five fingers immediately transformed into sharp knives as sharp as broken porcelain, pointing straight at her throat.

"I know I can't beat you, but don't underestimate porcelain." She said fiercely, "It can not only hurt this body, but even cut off this lovely head. Which one do you choose?"

"If you hurt a hair on her head, I promise to turn you into ashes."

"I really want to be wiped out!" Xinxin sneered several times, "You can't scare me, but you can't let go of this woman, right? So, you think you have the upper hand, but in fact you can't get over."

"What do you want?" Ruan Zhan was helpless in his heart, but he was still calm on the surface.

"Now, let me go." Xinxin looked at Ruan Zhan proudly, "I will give you a chance. You can roll down to the tower within five minutes, otherwise I will destroy her body and you will guard the porcelain doll for the rest of your life. Live."

Ruan Zhan looked directly into the eyes of the resentful spirit Xinxin and let go of his hand without hesitation. Seeing him so happy, Xinxin was a little surprised.

"Do you love this woman that much? Or are you very confident?" She looked at Ruan Zhan warily.

"If you want to get out, get out. Don't worry, I won't attack you from behind. At your level, you are not worthy of me using despicable means." Ruan Zhan kept his gaze coldly on her eyes to avoid seeing Xiao Xia's face. And then distracted, "You'd better remember not to hurt her at all, otherwise you may not be afraid of being wiped out, but the one hundred and seventy-three souls outside will be buried with her! I will do what I say!"

Xinxin slowly backed away, with a pale face and said nothing.

Why hasn't she met such a man? Why is the man she loves so nasty and shameless, willing to sacrifice everything, including her, for his career?

This thought made her heart become more ferocious, she wanted to seek justice from everything in this world, and she wanted to destroy everything!

Seeing her retreat to the stairs and then rush downstairs, Ruan Zhan felt a sense of loss in his heart. He thought in a daze that Xiaoxia had left him, and an indescribable pain rose from the bottom of his heart, as if something was being torn apart. Got it! He had to rescue her because he couldn't bear the consequences of losing her!

If Xiaoxia hadn't tied the amulet to the door handle of the dark room to prevent the evil spirits from attacking him from the door and buy him time to lift the spell, she wouldn't have been possessed so easily. She would risk everything for him, and of course he could do this to her.

But where did she go?

Thinking like this, he looked around and suddenly saw broken porcelain pieces spread out on the floor in front of the cabinet opposite!

His heart contracted violently, and an indescribable fear arose spontaneously. If these broken porcelain pieces were formed after the porcelain statue of Xiaoxia was broken, it proved that she was dead, then what should he do?

He couldn't help but walked over, squatted down and observed the broken porcelain, stretched out his hand and touched it gently. For a moment, he didn't know what to do. But just then, he heard a small voice calling him, causing him to stand up suddenly.

"Xiao Xia!" Through the blurred glass, Ruan Zhan saw Xiao Xia's porcelain statue placed there. He immediately held her in his hand, brought her to his lips and kissed her, then raised her to look at her levelly, "Follow me now, no one can hurt you again unless I die!"

"Where to go?" Xiaoxia felt his love and was not afraid of what she had to face.

"It's time to clean up the resentful spirits." Ruan Zhan said, carefully placing Xiaoxia in his jacket pocket close to his chest, then picked up Abai and Reporter Ma and put them in his left and right pockets respectively, and then walked out of the tower.

In the mountains and forests.

A tall man stumbled forward, cursing in a low voice as he walked, it was Wan Li.

He didn't have to walk on such an unfamiliar mountain road at night. There was actually a very important reason. First of all, during the day, he would do a monkey show for Sima Nan. Secondly, he would also investigate Master Long based on the loopholes in Feng Yongzi's words that day. Finally, the hard work paid off, and they managed to find out the whereabouts of Master Long, but it was almost dusk.

Ruan Zhan and Xiao Xia's life and death were uncertain. He had to seize every second. Although he had to be careful of making mistakes like last time, he still couldn't waste time, so he had to run into the mountains in the middle of the night.

This Dragon Master is a figure that the dragon has never seen before. He changed the name of the town. In the eyes of the townspeople, this is equivalent to changing the feng shui of the town, so they regard him as a god-like figure. However, he is extremely mysterious. Almost no one among young people knows him, and even among older people, not many have seen him in person.

He is like a hermit who is out of touch with the world.

As the old saying goes: A small hermit hides in the wild, a big hermit hides in the court. Wan Li used makeup, invisibility, theft, tracking, and inductive questioning to find out that Master Long lived in the mountains.

He came out of the town and it was completely dark when he reached the foot of the mountain. After asking about the road in the village at the foot of the mountain, the villagers told him that the old man who lived on the mountain was a puppet maker, and advised him to stay in the village for one night instead of running up the mountain at night.

He pretended that he would go up the mountain in a few days, and now he was just making inquiries before heading back to the town. When he was sure no one was paying attention, he followed the same path up the mountain. At this time, when he looked at the fluorescent watch he bought specially, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

From the map, this mountain is not high, but when you actually climb it you realize how difficult it is. He was not familiar with the road and couldn't find a guide. It was a bit cloudy tonight, not to mention the moon, and there wasn't even a star. So he could only rely on his previous experience of playing fixed-point games in the wild to find the road with a compass. .

He walked in circles, taking a lot of detours. The vicious mountain mosquitoes bit him through his long clothes and trousers, causing him pain and itching. Until it was almost midnight, he still hadn't found the dragon. The master's residence. But just when he thought he was about to die, a light suddenly appeared not far ahead. Call it light, but it is flowing; call it ghost fire, but the light of the fire is warm yellow light, not green phosphorescence.

No matter what it is, go over and have a look!

Wan Li gritted his teeth and walked towards the firelight.

It was a relatively flat piece of ground in the mountain forest. Wanli was standing on a high hillside when he saw the fire, so although it looked close, it was not that easy to walk. Looking closer, I saw that there was indeed a house behind the flowing lights. It occupied a large area and was dark. It looked like a pile of huge stones piled randomly, but it felt like a tomb.

The strangest thing is that the lights are all outside the house, but the inside of the house is lifeless, without a trace of light!

Is the owner of the house asleep? So why light a lamp outside the house? Is it to protect against wild beasts? But this mountain is relatively small, and there are no wild animals at all!

Wanli was thinking about it as he walked, but he felt that the road under his feet was very difficult to walk. There were waist-deep weeds everywhere. It seemed that few people came to this place, and there was not a single path to be found. Just when he was thinking about how the people in the house could get in and out of this place when the road was so difficult, the light in front of him suddenly went out!

It only took a moment, but all the lights went out without warning!

Wanli stood in the grass and immediately lost his sense of purpose. Everything was dark, and he could only hear the rustling of the grass and the sigh of the wind!
