The Exorcist

Chapter 22 I know

Abai!

Xiaoxia almost yelled out her name, but she was afraid of being discovered by the bolt of the cabinet opposite, so she held it back. She didn't know if she, as a porcelain doll, would have an expression on her face, or if she didn't have an expression on her face to humans, but she could still see something in the eyes of Shuan Zhu, a fellow human being!

She tried her best to control her excitement and excitement and did not dare to respond.

"Xiaoxia, don't be afraid. I still have some residual ability, which can make the people watching you see the illusion I created, and only we can hear each other's words. So, you can talk to me boldly, it doesn't matter. ." Abai said again.

Xiaoxia then breathed a sigh of relief, "Where have you been? I'm so anxious. I thought you were--"

"I'm over here!" Abai reminded Xiaoxia with his voice again.

Xiaoxia heard the sound coming from her left side, so she hit that side with all her strength. She didn't know how many times she hit it before she felt herself turn a little. She could barely see a slightly tilted porcelain figure with a picturesque face. The national clothes are none other than Abai.

Seeing Abai like this, she felt another layer of despair in her heart. Originally, she was vaguely worried about this, but she also felt that Abai was such a capable Yajin during his lifetime and might have a way to protect himself. She didn't expect that she would be in the same situation as herself now, so who would help Ruan Zhan?

"I only have a little bit of ability left. I'm afraid I can't help you. I'm sorry." Abai said apologetically as if he could see Xiaoxia's thoughts.

Xiaoxia shook her head quickly, even though she couldn't move at all, "Don't say that, Abai. We brought you out, and we should be responsible for your safety. It's me who should be sorry for getting you involved. If there is a chance, you Just run away and don't worry about any of us. It's a pity that I can't help you find that person."

"He—" Abai hesitated for a few seconds, "He has arrived. Although he didn't appear, I can feel it."

Xiaoxia didn't say anything, truly feeling Abai's deep affection. If she hadn't understood before, why a woman as innocent and beautiful as an angel like Abai would fall in love with the sinister, vicious, cold and selfish Sima Nan, but now she can understand. In the extreme danger of this empty city, she burst out all her love for Ruan Zhan, so she can understand Abai's heart.

It’s not that women are stupid, but when a woman truly falls in love with a man, she will give up everything, including reason, dignity and life for the one she loves. Even though she knows it is a trap, she will still step into it and be willing to be pierced by thousands of arrows. body!

For example, if Ruan Zhan turns bad one day, even if the whole world wants to be his enemy, even if she has to accompany him to hell, she is still willing to be with him, as long as he has a little love in return. If you really love, how can you give up on him and leave him!

"How did you get caught here?" Xiao Xia pulled back from her thoughts and asked Abai.

"When you were walking on the mountain road, I felt something was wrong. Then you pulled off the twist wire. I originally wanted to come out to see the situation, but I didn't expect that the evil spirit scared me back. I'm really useless!"

"Evil spirit?" Xiaoxia didn't want Abai to blame himself anymore, so she continued to ask, "Is he the one with the two tear moles on his face who is attached to Zuo De?"

"Yes, but he doesn't seem to come out of this city, but is in harmony with the resentful spirits in the city. And you shouldn't have come to this town, but the city has been distorted by space, so I think When you fell into the city as if you were thrown from a height, there was nothing you could do. I couldn't save you, so I had to follow, but you all fell unconscious. I ran out of your bracelet to save you, but was blocked by a wave of force. Wrapped in extremely heavy resentment, the result was that he was imprisoned in this container." Abai described the shapes of these little porcelain figures as containers, which seemed very appropriate to Xiao Xia.

"I hope Ruan Zhan will not be deceived by my original 'vessel'. I am very worried that he will be harmed. All his psychic powers were sealed by Sima Nan. Now he is almost like an ordinary psychic. How can he deal with someone with such deep resentment?" Wraith spirits are too dangerous! What should we do?" Xiaoxia became worried when she mentioned this.

"sorry."

"This has nothing to do with you. Do you have to apologize when Sima Nan does something bad? I know you love him very much, but not all his faults must be borne by you." Xiaoxia was a little impatient and didn't know how to persuade Abaicai. good.

Abai didn't speak for a few seconds, and then he sighed, "You are all good people, but he - he has it easy too."

"Abai——"

"I saw the way you were sent to this city that day, and I knew it was him." Abai didn't seem to hear Xiaoxia's kind-hearted obstruction, and said quietly to himself, "From the time I met him to the time I married him , we got along for a total of five years. Although he left me, I have been recalling every bit of him in my heart over the years, so no one in this world understands him better than me. Ruan Zhan His natural ability is too powerful, and he has not yet truly awakened it. When he finds the key to use his ability, Anan will never be able to defeat him. He is so proud, how can he tolerate someone who is stronger than him, so he will definitely Find a way to get rid of Ruan Zhan."

"Where is his pride? He is clearly despicable! A truly proud person disdains the use of intrigues!"

Abaiai laughed coldly, "He has changed a bit, or his heart is too eager. He can see many things but can never grasp them. In some ways, he is a pitiful person. But Xiaoxia, I believe Me, this time he spent so much effort, not only against Ruan Zhan, but also - me!"

"Stop talking nonsense. You love him so much. Isn't it enough that he imprisoned you in that well for so many years? Does he want to harm you? He can't be so heartbroken and crazy!"

"He's not trying to harm me." Abai was in the little porcelain figure and couldn't see her expression. "To others, he is a bad person, but to me, he is my husband. In my whole life, he is my husband." The only person I love. I didn’t die in his hands, everything was my own choice. After I died, he had many opportunities to make my soul fly away, but he just sealed my soul in that dry well. Always - always can't do it. I think he loves me a little bit after all. The reason why he treats me like that and is now pressing Ruan Zhan is because he wants something in my hand. "

Xiao Xia didn't say anything, but she thought in her heart that Sima Nan might not have killed A Bai because she wanted to get the thing in A Bai's hand.

"You said that you were looking for him just to give him something. Is it that thing?"

Abai said 'hmm'.

"I know he has always wanted that thing, but he won't talk to me. In fact, as long as he asks me for it and answers one question, I can give it to him."

"What kind of treasure is that that he must get?" Xiaoxia asked.

"It's just a spiritual stone. It was left to me by my master. I always carry it with me."

"What's the use of the stone?"

"Actually, he doesn't have to put in so much effort. As long as he answers my question honestly, I can give it to him." Abai muttered to himself as if he didn't hear Xiaoxia's question.

"It's a pity that even if you give it to him, he won't let Ruan Zhan go." Xiaoxia couldn't bear to hurt Abai, but Sima Nan started the war. If they didn't fight, Ruan Zhan would be the one who died. From this aspect, Sima Nan's character is really extreme. He always gives such riddles - life or death!

"I understand, don't worry about me. In fact, I am worried about Ruan Zhan. Although his ability is strong, he has not fully displayed it, and although his character also has a cold side, he is not ruthless enough. Maybe - Suffer!"

"He has already suffered a loss." When Xiaoxia mentioned Ruan Zhan, her heart tightened, "I'm afraid he will get hurt again. With his personality, he will never give up and fight to the death. But Abai, there is something here Do you know what’s going on with such great resentment?”

"I don't know, they never tell me in front of me. But these people seem to be from a very big village, and as far as I can see, these resentful spirits were once controlled by a master using this tower. Very It was almost time to suppress their resentment and send them to where they should go, but at this moment——"

"He was released by Sima Nan, right? But how did he command these resentful spirits?"

Abai continued to sigh, "Such a huge resentment, and it was released after being suppressed for a long time. No one can control it. They and Anan just help each other, and now he can't control it. These resentful spirits are very big Their grievances are very pitiful. Although their revenge is a bit cruel, they must have experienced pain that is rare for ordinary people. But Anan is like this - it is really too much!"

"So is there any way we can help Ruan Zhan now?" Xiaoxia asked anxiously. She talked to Abai for a long time, and she just wanted to know this.

"I'm sorry, no, you can only wait." Abai said softly, "It depends on how deep your relationship is with him. People like him will have a strong sense of empathy with the people they love. Just focus your thoughts. Call him, it might help."

"Maybe?"

"I'm sorry, from the day I fell in love with Anan, my abilities began to decline. Later, I felt that accepting Ah-Mum as a disciple might bring disaster to the world, so I used all my strength to pray to heaven and get the answer about the future. The prophecy left a way to conquer him, and after that my ability completely disappeared. Now I can talk to you alone without anyone knowing, using the skills I practiced again while living in a dry well. A little psychic power, but that’s my limit. I’m sorry, I really can’t help you!”

"Abai, there's no need to be sorry." Xiaoxia comforted Abai who was full of guilt. She seemed to blame all the evil done by Sima Nan on herself, "I will try hard now and I will definitely inform Ruan Zhan. So many He has survived all the dangers, and he will be fine this time."

In fact, Xiaoxia was very worried, but she had to say this in order to comfort Abai. But later, this comfort gave her a little confidence. Who is Ruan Zhan? How could the man she loved be deceived and knocked down so easily!

She hit the 'container' in the opposite direction, regardless of how painful her injured shoulder was, and didn't stop until she could look squarely at the bolt opposite. She had no other option now, and Abai couldn't help, but after finding Abai and knowing that she was just trapped like herself and that she was not in danger, she finally let go of her worries.

"Ruan Zhan! Ruan Zhan! Be careful, that's not me!" She concentrated all her energy and called Ruan Zhan in her heart, over and over again, hoping to convey her words to him.

An unknown amount of time passed like this, and Xiaoxia didn't get a single response, but suddenly she heard a familiar sound of footsteps coming from the stairs, which made her heart beat wildly!

It’s Ruan Zhan! He's still fine!

She looked longingly at the stairs, and as the steady and somewhat scattered footsteps got closer and closer, she saw the figure of a man appearing, it was Ruan Zhan who was still safe! But - there was a woman clinging tightly to his side, and the intimacy and sweetness between the two made Xiaoxia's heart fall from ecstasy to extreme pain.

His psychic powers were not restored!

This can be seen from his dull eyes and relatively slow movements, and he also failed to receive his own message, because he hugged the woman next to him tenderly, thinking that the resentful spirit was himself!

Xiaoxia felt like her heart was being put on fire, dry and painful, and then it broke into pieces!

How could he admit his mistake? Although the resentful spirit was using his body, he had always been sensitive. Why couldn't he feel that it was not her soul this time? However, what made her more anxious than jealousy was that Ruan Zhan was not defensive at all against that woman, but treated her with the gentlest attitude! In this case, if the resentful spirit attacks his opponent, doesn't he not even have a chance to fight back?

Why can't he receive his message? Why can't he sense her? Is she not attentive enough? But why didn't the resentful spirit take action? Didn’t they always want to get rid of Ruan Zhan? They haven't made a move for so long. They must still be unsure of Ruan Zhan's strength!

Her eyes were fixed on Ruan Zhan's face, expecting him to look at her side, but he didn't look at the cabinet at all and kept talking to the resentful spirit pretending to be Xiao Xia.

"It took me so long to open the door before you opened it." The resentful spirit complained softly.

Xiaoxia almost vomited. She had never spoken to Ruan Zhan in that tone. But why couldn't Ruan Zhan hear it, or did he think that women in love were all like that? But she was powerless to do anything. Apart from calling him desperately, she could only watch and worry!

"I'm sorry, it was the most critical moment to recover spiritual power, so we can't be distracted." Ruan Zhan's voice sounded.

His voice was as steady and magnetic as usual, and he seemed confident. Xiao Xia thought that it might be because of his calm attitude that the resentful spirit could not decide whether to kill him or not. Therefore, it has been quite a while since the resentful spirit took over Xi's body, and Ruan Zhan is still safe and sound.

"So how is your recovery now?"

"It's almost better, but the invisibility talisman that blocked the vision has not been lifted yet. Don't worry, it will be soon." Ruan Zhan said softly.

When he was talking, the resentful spirit was reaching for his hand on the back of his heart, but when he heard that he had almost recovered, the porcelain hand was put down again, obviously afraid of Ruan Zhan. It seemed that he The palm thunder and fire hand seal are still very deterrent to these resentful spirits.

At this time, Xiaoxia realized that the spiritual power of this resentful spirit might be the highest among the group of resentful spirits, because she could clearly see that the resentful spirit's body could change at will, transforming into a porcelain body for a while, and then returning to a physical body for a while. Look, no wonder Ruan Zhan can't feel it.

"What are you going to do?" Fake Xiaoxia asked again.

"I will stay in this tower." Ruan Zhan said, "I know that this tower was specially built to suppress the resentful spirits, and I also know that these resentful spirits will dispel their resentment and resolve their hostility after a while. , everyone got his own way, but it happened to be destroyed by others."

"You know?" Fake Xiaoxia's tone remained unchanged, but her expression changed.

"Yes." Ruan Zhan smiled softly, "That's why I want to stay here, because the location is convenient for me. Those resentful spirits cannot come in in large numbers. Only those with extremely strong spiritual power and resentment can come in." , I need the help of other resentful spirits. As long as I stay here, no one among them can avoid my palm thunder and fire hand seal."

The resentful spirit froze on the spot, its expression became extremely ferocious and terrifying, which Xiaoxia couldn't bear to look at. That was her face, and she never wanted to look so scary!

"Xiao Xia, don't be afraid. How about I give you a try? Ask for a fire hand seal!" Ruan Zhan raised his hand.

"No!" Fake Xiaoxia couldn't help but yelled.

"What's wrong? It doesn't matter, the fire handprint won't hurt you." Ruan Zhan hugged Fake Xiaoxia to his chest.

"Well - I just don't like that, it's nothing. I don't want you to use it casually." Fake Xiaoxia covered it up.

"No? That's fine. I'd better save my spiritual energy to deal with the resentful spirits. Then when I fully recover, I will take you out of this ghost town and ignore everything else."

Seeing this, Xiaoxia became a little suspicious. Does Ruan Zhan really not know that the woman is fake?

He is a calm and reserved man who never shows off in front of women, and he likes ghosts more than humans. If the ghosts don't want to harm the people around him, and they really can't stand it, he usually won't do anything to them.

So what's going on with him now? What is he planning? Or do men in love also change?

"Does anyone else care?" Wraith asked again.

"Those people must have done something harmful to nature, otherwise they wouldn't be locked up here waiting to die."

"Waiting to die - waiting to die -" The resentful spirit seemed to have thought of something and muttered to himself, with a look of fear on his face.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay. I just find it uncomfortable to wait for death." The resentful spirit shuddered, "I want to see death coming with my own eyes!"

"You are just too soft-hearted." Ruan Zhan held Fake Xiaoxia in his arms and rubbed his hands on her back, "There are many things that are helpless. Don't worry, everything will be solved."

Seeing him holding the resentful spirit, Xiaoxia's heart almost jumped out of her throat. If the resentful spirit attacks him at this time, he will definitely die. I saw the resentful spirit nestled in Ruan Zhan's arms, his head tilted at an indescribable angle, just face to face with Xiao Xia. Her hand was also stroking back and forth on Ruan Zhan's back. One moment it turned into a sharp weapon like broken porcelain, and the next moment it turned back into that delicate little hand. It was obvious that she had been struggling in her heart, wanting to do it but not daring to do it.

In the end, she didn't dare to take action and slowly broke away from Ruan Zhan's arms. Xiaoxia felt relieved, feeling as if she had experienced a baptism of life and death.

"Eat something. If you're not hungry, at least drink some water." The resentful spirit said.

"Okay, but I remember you put it upstairs. Go get it." Ruan Zhan nodded.

After hearing his agreement to drink the water, Wraith looked extremely excited again, "Okay, I'll get it for you, you wait." After saying that, he turned around and left.

As soon as her figure disappeared, Ruan Zhan immediately raised his hand. That familiar posture made Xiaoxia immediately understand that he was setting up a barrier, and her heart beat wildly - has he regained his ability? Can you at least set up a barrier?

The moment the barrier was set up, Ruan Zhan walked straight towards Xiao Xia, his eyes shining with a strange look. This shows that his eyesight has also recovered. He had been pretending not to see it just now!

He walked up to the little porcelain doll where Xiaoxia's soul was stored, stared at it for a few seconds, and then stretched out his index finger to caress it lovingly, "Don't worry, I know. I know everything!"
