At that time, he had already investigated these three graves and confirmed his idea-the people who were killed because of abusing their parents were all poisoned by a kind of poison made from plants and animals. This kind of poison is extremely powerful. Weird and evil, the 'ingredients' are probably black cats and poppies.

So the people who die in the city all look like they've overdosed on drugs and had one of their eyeballs gouged out under hallucinations or the temptation of a black cat.

As for the people in the mountains and forests, the people who cast the poison seem to be quite familiar with the situation here, and know that they will not be strictly investigated and investigated, so the poison they cast is more fierce and simpler. The fatal injuries suffered by these three brothers were caused by abdominal distension and rupture. It can be speculated that plants suddenly grew out of the abdominal cavity.

If this is the case, it is not unusual to hear it often in rumors about voodoo. His most brilliant thing is just that - how to make the poison exert its effect as a drug, and after the death of the poisoned person, the seeds planted as the poison will still move and grow, and their vitality is so tenacious that it is incomprehensible.

Also, why did he use poppies to make poison? Poppy is a drug. What does this have to do with Huang Boheng's miraculous overnight wealth?

In order to find the roots of the plants and destroy them completely, he dug the graves of the three brothers very large, ignoring the whispers of the surrounding 'residents'. What surprised him was just how powerful this poison was. It actually swallowed up the souls of these three unfilial sons without a trace, while their father, the fragile and thin soul, kept looking at him imploringly, and because of fear He dared not approach and speak due to his abilities.

If you raise a child for one hundred years, you will often worry about ninety-nine.

He had heard this before, but from the perspective of this poor father, it turns out that parental love can transcend life and death. Although the old man's soul didn't seem to know the details of the matter, he was afraid of and respected Ruan Zhan's ability, so he wanted to pray to Ruan Zhan to save the souls of those three bastards.

Ruan Zhan couldn't refuse this. Although he had no sympathy for these three guys who deserved to go to hell, he had always been somewhat intolerant and grateful for the kind ghosts. After all, he was abandoned by humans but saved by a ghost!

And when he re-buried two graves and was about to restore the last one to its original state, that uneasy feeling of heart palpitations suddenly came, making him feel that Xiaoxia was in danger. So he immediately put down everything in his hands and used the time and space distortion technique to step back, only to find that Xiaoxia had disappeared. The wooden building of the village chief's house was only a mess, with the village chief's family and the unconscious Wan Li left in a mess. .

He guessed that Xiaoxia must have run into the woods. Just when he was so anxious that he didn't know where to find her, the sense of danger she conveyed to him disappeared again, as if he had been saved by someone.

This gave him time to think for a few minutes, and then he quickly tidied up the room, stabbed a little of his and Wanli's blood, mixed it, and smeared it under their eyes.

The reason for this is because Wan Li is unconscious now and is so fragile that he can be hurt by anything weak at any time. He couldn't stay here to guard him, nor could he rely on the formation that could protect against ghosts but not humans and demons, so he had to use blood spells to strengthen the connection.

Although he and Wan Li are friends through life and death, he has never missed him so much, so he doesn't feel the same spiritual connection with Xiao Xia.

After arranging all this, he entered the depths of the dense forest, but could not find any trace of Xiaoxia. Tracking has never been his strong point, not to mention that the psychic connection from Xiaoxia is sometimes strong and sometimes weak, which proves that she has been encountering danger, but she always manages to get rid of it at the last moment.

This realization kept him in a state of anxiety and relief throughout the pre-dawn hours. It wasn't until he sensed a strong Yin Qi in Xiaoxia's telepathy that he finally thought about it. The most dark place on the mountain is this cemetery, so we stepped there in time.

"Ruan Zhan! Ruan Zhan!" Xiaoxia yelled and woke up from a coma.

"Here." Ruan Zhan handed over his hand.

Xiao Xia grabbed it without hesitation, only to realize that it was already dawn and that she was between the tombs, leaning on Ruan Zhan's arms. The blood-wood sword she had thrown beside the grave was lying quietly on the ground beside Ruan Zhan's legs.

For a moment, she felt that she was dreaming, because Ruan Zhan rarely treated her so closely, and she hoped that everything in the recent past would not exist.

But judging from the strong heartbeat coming from Ruan Zhan's strong chest and the pain in her body whenever she moved, she knew that what she was experiencing was the truth and that escaping was useless.

"We have to go back quickly, Wanli—Wanli him—"

"I know. Don't panic, I will save him."

"You know?" Xiaoxia asked doubtfully.

As soon as he raised his head, in the clear gray morning light, Ruan Zhan's resolute side face came into Xiaoxia's eyes inadvertently. Although his face was calm, his brows were frowned and the corners of his mouth were pursed tightly. His whole face was covered with unspeakable pressure and loneliness, which made Xiaoxia feel a little distressed.

How tiring he is, with so many secrets buried deep in his heart, keeping everything in his heart without saying anything, facing everything alone, always suppressing himself when things happen, and adding a layer of ruthlessness to his true heart. , and he also needs to add a gentle fake face in front of strangers. No one has to survive harder than him!

How much she wanted to help him, to warm his heart bit by bit, to hug him and give him peace, but he always rejected people thousands of miles away intentionally or unintentionally, leaving her ambitious countryside to surround the city. 'The plan has been hesitant to implement, for fear that if he gets closer, he will go far away.

"I have made arrangements." Ruan Zhan replied, while looking at Xiao Xia.

Although her little face was covered with mud, soil and stains from crying, her true face could no longer be seen, but this made her half-tearful eyes so touching and gentle. , made his heart beat wildly, and he quickly pulled away Xiaoxia who was nestled in his arms, for fear of revealing his inner secret.

"Now that you're awake, we shouldn't stay here for a long time. Let's go back quickly!" He said, raising his hand to draw a talisman in the air, and then before the distortion of time and space ended, he leaned over to pick up Xiaoxia, who was injured in many places, and picked up The bloodwood sword stepped back in one step.

When Xiaoxia was unconscious, he did not dare to hold her and use this technique, for fear that this technique would cause some harm to the temporarily unconscious person. This made him understand how carefully he cared for her.

"Where is this?" Xiaoxia was carried on the bamboo bed by Ruan Zhan. She felt that the environment was not right, thinking that he had made a mistake and ran to someone else's house, right?

"In order not to make the villagers suspicious, I found a new place. It is very remote and no one comes here, so it is easier to move." Ruan Zhan explained, "I will carry Wan Li over now and explain it to you carefully. ”

"But what should I say to the village chief and his family?"

"I will say that Wanli fell ill in the middle of the night, so I sent you down the mountain early in the morning. Anyway, his half-dead look has been deeply rooted in people's hearts." Ruan Zhan said easily.

In fact, it was the person behind the scenes who helped him invisibly. You must know that people in the mountains are hard-working and will get up as soon as dawn. However, in order to facilitate things in the middle of the night, the opponent used magic to keep the village chief and his family awake for the time being, so that he could seize the time to 'move'.

He found the new place by accident. The environment was very good, but just in case, he still pretended to chat with the villagers and asked about the situation there.

It is a unique bamboo building, located alone on the mountainside far away from the village. The villagers call it the Octagonal Building. It is said to be the residence of Ya Jin (also known as forbidden woman, Taoist woman or witch) who had great magical power before liberation. Later, Na Yajin disappeared mysteriously, and no one lived in this building anymore, because most of the villagers were superstitious and believed that place could transcend yin and yang, so they were not even willing to get close.

During the Cultural Revolution, a group of Red Guards who broke the four old traditions came here to cause trouble for a while, but then everyone was mysteriously poisoned and had to leave in a hurry. Although they were infected by ordinary poison, they were tortured to the point of death. Fortunately, a very experienced Taoist priest gave them a prescription, which allowed these people to get rid of the poison's control.

This incident adds to the mystery of the Octagon Building, making it even more inaccessible. Ruan Zhan, on the other hand, wanted to find out the secrets in this mountain forest and was unwilling to involve innocent people. He was looking for a place where no one would pay attention, so he chose this place. There was nothing he was afraid of in the world of Yin and Yang, and after entering the small building, he found that it was very clean, not only the environment, but also the aura.

This shows that there are no supernatural incidents here. It is just that because it is located in a deep mountain and is uninhabited all year round, the yin energy is relatively strong. It also shows that unknown people often come to clean the place secretly. If you want to guard against it, it’s only people you’re guarding against.

Although it feels like it is more dangerous for Xiaoxia and Wanli to stay here alone, in fact, no matter where they are, they will encounter the same dangers. It is better to stay alone in this deserted place. It's easier to cast, and you don't have to worry anymore. Maybe he should consider teaching Wan Li and Xiao Xia some small spells in the future so that they can protect themselves when in danger. Of course, this must be based on their ability to leave this place safely and smoothly.

And he swore in his heart that he would let them both return to the city safely, even if it cost him his own life!

After he carried Wan Li to the Octagon Building, he explained to Xiao Xia the reason for moving here, and then immediately returned to the village chief's house to deal with the aftermath. Although he used time and space distortion, it was a spell after all. Using it so frequently made him tired and almost vomiting blood, but he could only endure it.

Fortunately, things went smoothly. People in this kind of real mountains are very simple, which made Ruan Zhan feel that lying is a sin, even if it is a white lie. And because he still had to walk around and investigate the village, he claimed that he wanted to learn about the local customs and continue to disturb the village chief for a while. Of course, the village chief agreed.

And in this busy morning, his biggest gain was that he accidentally mentioned to the village chief about encountering a strange person in the dense forest. The village chief acted a little strange, as if he knew the existence of such a number one person. . However, he did not press for questioning immediately. He wanted to investigate first and then talk to the village chief.

Then he returned to the Octagon Building, and while helping Xiao Xia treat her wounds, he asked Xiao Xia to tell her what happened last night in detail.

After washing away the mud, Xiao Xia's delicate face showed a red mark struck by a branch, which was shockingly leaning there. The skin exposed outside the clothes was full of scratches, and the sprained right ankle was also red and swollen. one slice. Ruan Zhan held her delicate and white ankles and gave her a restorative massage, which made her wince in pain.

"Did I get into trouble again?" Xiao Xia looked at Ruan Zhan's frown and asked worriedly.

"No."

"Aren't you comforting me?"

"Believe me, no." Ruan Zhan answered Xiaoxia seriously.

Sometimes this is how problems are solved. There always has to be a person who doesn't play by the rules, stirs up the situation, makes some surprises, collects evidence bravely, and stimulates new clues in danger. Xiaoxia is such a person. Through her pursuit of the black cat last night, you will find that many problems are involved.

For example: the weird person is a woman, and she keeps mentioning the 'bride', which is related to the ghost in the raincoat; from the black cat's attitude towards Xiaoxia, we can find that the person behind the scenes is very interested in Xiaoxia, and Huang Boheng is Xiaoxia's pursuer; the weirdo said that 'that person' is very powerful, which proves that she is familiar with him. If that person is Huang Boheng, then it can be confirmed that he was indeed born here; also, the black cat that can speak human speech, The pair of invisible footprints can prove that the enemy has come to them!

Close to the truth! Although the answer to the mystery still seemed to be at the center of a thick fog, Ruan Zhan knew that the fog was about to lift. Who will show up last? Huang Boheng? Yang Muyou? Or is there someone else?

"That one - chasing my footprints, is it a human?" Xiaoxia asked.

"He is a human, but he is very strong and can become invisible, so you only see footprints."

"Why doesn't the Bloodwood Sword shine?" Xiaoxia sighed, "I thought it was in my hand, but it didn't bother to pay attention to me!"

"How could it be? It will definitely react when it encounters evil. It's just that voodoo is prevalent here, and it's not just the ghost body that appears, so its light is not so bright." Ruan Zhan explained patiently.

"But when the 'old man' who caused me to fall into the pit appeared, it didn't shine either?"

"Miss, you were sitting at the door of someone else's house. You felt someone tapping your shoulder and a shadow appeared. Maybe it was just an illusion that you saw, and it was not the real soul that ran out. At that time It's almost dawn. Besides, he means well and doesn't want to harm you." Ruan Zhan knew in his heart that it was the father of the three Amu brothers. Because he wanted him to help, he took the risk of being hurt by the invisible man and saved him. Xiao Xia.

The invisible man is most likely Huang Boheng, who has a special interest in Xiaoxia, and is the owner of the black cat. When Xiaoxia accidentally escaped to the cemetery and was guided to Amu's grave by Amu's father, he may have sensed that Ruan Zhan was nearby from the dug grave, and even suspected that Ruan Zhan was lurking behind the grave. Waiting to attack him. Therefore, he chose to leave for his own safety, and his suspicion saved Xiaoxia.

"That person - is it Huang Boheng?" Xiaoxia asked. When she thought about his unbearable purpose for her, tracking her in the middle of the night, and even forcing herself to have **** to please him, Xiaoxia felt inexplicably ashamed and angry.

Jizhan nodded.

"Then I understand why he hates Wanli so much." Xiaoxia said disgustedly, "You said that he must have done it under a strong emotion to cast such a heavy poison."

"Then why?"

"Because - last time at Guan Zheng's memorial service, he pestered me and Wan Li pretended to be my boyfriend."

"That's it." Ruan Zhan whispered. Only now did he understand that the poison was aimed at Wan Li. The other party must have known about Wan Li's curious personality, so everything was a clever trap. Even if he didn't succeed that day, he would think of other ways to harm Wan Li.

But, that Gu is so evil, how is it refined? Did he encounter a genius who used voodoo this time?

With this thought in mind, he turned around and looked at Wanli. He was still lying on the bed unconscious, with a black air lingering on his face.

"What should he do?" Xiaoxia was also worried.

"He will remain unconscious until I wake him up!" Ruan Zhan gently put down Xiaoxia's ankle.
