Everyone never mentioned anything that was difficult.
On the day before the duel, everyone in Jinshi Town was doing their own thing. But the more it is not mentioned, the more it shows that this matter is deep in everyone's heart, but no one shows it.
Uncle Bao was wandering at the foot of Tietou Mountain outside the town, hesitating whether to see his old friend for the last time. Tomorrow, his lifelong best friend will completely disappear from this world. If he is still alive, it will be even more of a disaster. He will become a demon, and in essence he will not be the original Ruan Tianyi. So no matter what, he will lose this only friend; this ordinary friend but with an extraordinary heart; this friend who has transformed countless resentful souls and evil spirits, but forced himself to despair!
Tao is natural, and so is life and death. He should be able to see through it. However, people are not gods after all. Faced with so many years of friendship, he cannot reach that state. How can he be open-minded? ! After thinking about it, he decided to see his old friend again, even if he just stood far away and said a few words. We have been brothers for many years, at least say something before sending him on his way.
At the same time, Bao Datong in the town was still practicing hard. Although Wan Li asked him to relax, he couldn't sit still at all. If he was going into battle to kill enemies and slay demons, he might be very excited, but once Thinking that he was going to participate in a human tragedy in which a father and his son killed each other tomorrow, he felt panicked. In fact, Wan Li was also very uneasy. Although on the surface, he was sitting steadily on the chair, holding a book and reading, he didn't turn a page for a long time, and his mind was not on it at all. Ruan Zhan and Xiao Xia had gone out a long time ago. They walked hand in hand in the town and happily visited every corner of the town. Although they didn't say a word along the way, their eyes intertwined. , fingers intertwined, as if every glance at each other deepens the impression in each other's hearts, and they didn't return to the hotel until late at night.
Lying quietly in Ruan Zhan's arms, Xiaoxia was so distraught that she couldn't sleep at all. Her head rested on his chest. Although she heard his breathing steady and his heart beating powerfully and regularly, Xiaoxia could still feel the conflicts and struggles entangled in his heart, as if she could touch those complex and painful emotions. What we have to do tomorrow is already difficult for others, let alone Ruan Zhan, one of the parties involved? Although he was trying to help his father, and although his father had personally arranged all this, how could he do it? ! And what if he is really in danger? Will she really lose him?
Ever since she knew about this, she had been doing mental construction over and over again, telling herself that nothing would happen to him, and she would never let him leave like that. She told herself this over and over again, but as the date approached and the duel was imminent, the blind confidence she had given herself suddenly collapsed. During the day, she tried her best to behave normally and seemed confident, but on this cold spring night, when his body temperature and breath surrounded her tenderly, she was suddenly afraid that this moment would be her last good time, and she was afraid that she would lose him from now on. .
If he was really dead, she couldn't let him go. Although she loved him so much and without him, she might be worse off than dead, but she had to consider her elderly parents and couldn't pass on her pain to others in the form of death. Moreover, even if she dies for love, she has neither spiritual power nor resentment. Her soul may dissipate soon, and she will not be able to accompany him forever. What should we do then? Is she going to imitate Lu Yan, give birth to a child for Ruan Zhan, and then live like Abai marrying a ghost husband? No, she doesn't want to be separated from him, she doesn't want to love each other but not be able to touch each other. She wanted to be able to hold him, kiss him, stand in the sun with him, and watch each other grow old. Therefore, she must not be so pessimistic, she must face everything with strength, and she must believe that she is his miracle!
Thinking of this, Xiaoxia gently removed Ruan Zhan's arm from her waist, turned over and wanted to hug him, feeling his realness and warmth, but as soon as she turned around, she saw him quietly opening his eyes. Looking at her quietly, as if she couldn't even blink, her deep eyes were full of tenderness and attachment, making her eyes suddenly well up with mist.
"I will always love you." He said softly, and his voice rushed from all the senses in her body to her heart, leaving her unable to say anything for a moment. The newly established, somewhat ferocious determination disappeared again, and I felt only an indescribable sadness, as if these were my farewell words to her.
Xiao Xia reached out and touched his face, wanting to say something reproachful and coquettish, but before the words came out, Ruan Zhan suddenly closed his eyes and seemed to fall asleep instantly, which shocked Xiao Xia.
"Azhan, Azhan!" Xiaoxia pushed Ruan Zhan twice. But Ruan Zhan was sleeping so deeply that he had no intention of waking up.
Did there be any accident? He always gets little sleep, and even wakes up with a startle when sleeping. The slightest movement will wake him up. How could this happen now? I touched his chest and found that his beating was still steady and strong. I pushed him a few more times, but he still didn't respond, as if he had passed out. Is it really because he is too tired? Is it really because he has worked too hard these days and is exhausted mentally and physically?
Xiao Xia stood up in a hurry, wanting to call Uncle Bao next door to see what was going on, but before she could sit up, she saw a black shadow flash in the sky, and a figure appeared out of thin air. He did not squeeze in from the four walls or doors and windows like other spirits with an ugly posture, but with an elegant posture and appeared instantly.
"Don't be afraid," he said.
Xiaoxia quickly covered her mouth and swallowed the scream back into her stomach. Does she know who he is? Although she couldn't see the face clearly, the voice and the feeling told her that the dark figure in front of her was Ruan Zhan's father, Ruan Tianyi.
Instinctively, she hugged Ruan Zhan and stared at the place where the black shadow was, wary of the old man hurting her sweetheart. But after taking a closer look, I found that Ruan's father had been leaning sideways. Now he turned around and faced her with his back. He seemed to have no ill intentions.
"I'm not here to hurt him." Father Ruan seemed to know what Xiao Xia meant, and said slowly, with smile and relief in his voice, "I just came to see him, and to express my gratitude and apology to you. . Can you please put on some clothes first? The night here is still very cold."
Xiaoxia was shocked and realized that she was still naked. Although she had been hiding under the quilt and did not come out, she was still ashamed. Looking around, I saw that my clothes had been thrown away in the moment of passion. Fortunately, I still had the large bathrobe, so I quickly put it on and turned on a desk lamp.
"What's wrong with him?" Seeing Ruan's father turn around, Xiao Xia asked hurriedly, because she was a little embarrassed about her image.
"It's nothing, I just let him sleep quietly for a while. The child is too tired, he is always tired." Father Ruan said and walked to the bed.
All the spirits that Xiao Xia had seen walked lightly, but none of them walked as steadily as Ruan's father, unable to tell the slightest difference from humans. Not only that, he can also make Ruan Zhan, who has powerful spiritual power, fall into a coma without realizing it. His ability is really extraordinary and he is obviously extremely difficult to deal with. This made Xiaoxia worry about tomorrow's battle again. But she didn't understand what he was doing today. There are only twenty-four hours before the cruel father-son duel. Tomorrow this time there will be a life-and-death fight. What's the point of this calm now?
Ruan's father stood in front of the sleeping Ruan Zhan, stretched out his fingers, and turned over Ruan Zhan, who was sleeping on his side, so that his face was facing up. Then he stood there blankly, not speaking for a long time, just watching.
"He was like this when he was a child. He was very quiet when sleeping." Just when Xiao Xia thought that Ruan's father would stand like that all his life, he suddenly said: "He is not like other children who can kick the quilt or talk in their sleep, and they are never bad. He will get up whenever you call him. He doesn't act coquettishly at all and is more sensible than adults. But he was only five years old at the time, which is very distressing, isn't it?"
Xiaoxia didn't say anything, but her heart twisted.
Ruan's father didn't seem to want to hear her reaction, but just kept talking, "The only person I'm sorry for in my life is him, because when I was about to give birth to this son, I didn't regard him as mine. Treat him as his own flesh and blood. I just want him to become a killer, a killer who specializes in killing me and those evil ghosts who cannot be transformed. This is a very bad approach, isn't it? But I am not afraid of my own retribution, but I am afraid of the accumulation of these things. It will be troublesome if the evil energy of many years comes back to do evil. They will harm people in various forms. Do you still remember the pair of demon children? They possess people and live among people. They have hurt many families and innocent people. Humans. Those are just two evil spirits that are not very harmful. If a large number of evil spirits with deeper and more resentful grievances wander around the world, the consequences will be unimaginable, and he was born to prevent these. Because he is afraid of each other I got so attached that I couldn't do it anymore. After he was born, I didn't even look at him, so I asked a spirit to throw him at the door of the family." He suddenly stopped here and reached out to touch Ruan Zhan's cheek. His face was like caring for the most precious treasure in his heart, so full of love and affection, but it was a pity that his hands could not touch Ruan Zhan, and they came up empty again and again, and every touch he touched was in vain.
Xiaoxia understands that he has endured it alone for so many years. Tonight is when he bids farewell to his biological son and expresses the sorrow in his heart. So he remained silent and waited for him to continue.
"But the spirit who helped me came back one day and told me that the couple who adopted A Zhan were not very kind to him, and since they discovered that he had innate talents, they began to want to get rid of him and put him Throw it away like a little stray dog. Only then did I realize that in order to repay my kindness back then, that soul never left Ah Zhan and was secretly protecting him. If it hadn't been for him, Ah Zhan might have been thrown away When I go to other places, there are so many people, and I might never find him again. At that time, even though I didn’t want to, I still had to take Ah Zhan back to me. He was only five years old when he came back. He is really a beautiful child, but his eyes are cold and wary of anyone and anything. He looks like he is covered in thorns and is extremely difficult to mess with. When I saw his appearance, I felt extremely conflicted. On the one hand, I felt happy because I just hope that he will become like this - distrusting anyone, ruthless and sharp, not having any feelings with anyone, lonely and without scruples. Only in this way can he complete the mission I gave him, and finally lead the world with me With these evil spirits, dust will return to dust, and dust will return to dust. But on the other hand, he is still a child. He was born in this world, but he couldn't get anything good. I can't bear to see such a vicious and resentful soul. You can be merciful, but why should you be so cruel to him? I asked myself, what right do I have to let him be born, but he has to die for me? Although I made this move when I had no other choice, it was too unfair to him. Really?"
Ruan's father's voice was full of self-blame and contradiction. He turned his head and looked at Xiaoxia with extremely regretful eyes. Xiaoxia wanted to say that he was too selfish, but she couldn't. Everything is beyond human control. In order to do the right thing, Ruan's father later did the wrong thing. Now, his own life is dead and he is still facing the end of his soul. He is not doing it for himself. Even if Ruan Zhan is awake now, can he blame his father? There are only four words - helpless.
“I tried my best to remind myself not to have feelings for him, that is, not to love him, not to let him love me, even if he hates me, so that when he is in trouble, he will take action. He would have a better chance of surviving. But I forgot that the nature of father and son cannot be blocked by human power. Neither I can be ruthless to him, nor he to me. I don’t know when, I He is extremely loving, more than any doting father in the world. Although this child is cold on the outside, he has a fiery temper inside, which I could not have expected. And when I found out that he When I became friends with Wan Li, I thought about ruining the friendship, but in the end I didn't do it."
"Thank you." Xiaoxia said suddenly.
"Thank me for what?" Ruan's father was surprised and looked at Xiaoxia strangely.
"Thank you for not blocking the friendship between him and Wan Li, otherwise he wouldn't even have this bit of warmth. It's really pitiful. Without Wan Li, I wouldn't be able to know him, so I want to thank you."
"I want to thank you. This is also one of the purposes of my coming." Ruan's father smiled, which made Xiao Xia feel that he was very kind. "I used to estimate his life before, but I only thought that he was lonely. It made me feel uneasy even when I was suspended underground. But then he had you, and I could feel his happiness. He loved you very much, more than his life. Although this relationship would be short-lived, he finally didn't I came to this world for free. It's a pity that he can't stay with you forever. This is where I want to apologize to you. Even though it's useless, I still want to say sorry to you. You gave my son warmth and love, but it's a pity. Because of my relationship, I can't let you be together. I'm very sorry. In fact, I thought about giving up the plan of letting A Zhan fight me, but if I become a demon, he still won't survive. Because I couldn't control my mind at that time , will start with the people closest to you, and even you will not be spared. In this case, let us father and son bear everything, but it will hurt you."
"No, he won't die. Even if he dies, I will save him." Xiao Xia said firmly to Ruan's father and to herself, "You said that if there is a miracle, he can live. Come down and I will perform a miracle for him."
