Chapter 17 Discussion (Part 2)
Ruan Zhan nodded, "Yes, this evil spirit is very arrogant, probably looks down on me, so he has no concealment. I saw a red yin energy in the middle of her heart, and I guess that is the original body of this evil spirit. This little girl named Zhang Jialin has no problem with herself. She was just borrowed from her body, but she just didn't know whether she was dead or alive now."
"I said, Zhang Jialin and Xiaoxia have no grudges, why should they hurt her!"
"The question is what kind of resentment does the Red Fairy and Xiao Xia have?" said Wan Li. "And why does it take so many children away? Is it a purposeful act? Or is it just casual?"
"In fact, the red energy has some shapes." Ruan Zhan continued thoughtfully, "It looks like a red lotus. What I don't understand is that the lotus is a holy thing, so why should the evil energy be cultivated into that shape?"
"Maybe it is related to where it survives and where it practices. You know that people always subconsciously copy what they are familiar with or like. This kind of instinct-like behavior is very real," said Wan Li.
"When it comes to its source, I have another message." Ruan Zhan unconsciously glanced at Yang Yang, "This kid was almost caught by the evil spirit, but he said he smelled it."
"What does it taste?" Bao Datong smiled in surprise, "Do you believe it? Such a little guy. He may be talking nonsense or imaginary. You know, children always believe a lot of unreal things."
"It's not impossible to make a possible assumption." Wanli said, "You can't underestimate children. They are often much smarter than adults imagine."
"I also think he said it is true." Xiao Xia carefully recalled Yang Yang's expression at that time, "He said there was a smell of wet mud."
"Okay." Bao Datong shrugged, "We don't believe it all or disbelief. But what I'm most interested in is whether it is 'it' or 'them'?"
"That depends on whether Lu Yan and her son are the same as we suspect." Ruan Zhan said, "If they are just a weird pair of ordinary mothers and sons, it is 'it', otherwise, it is 'them'!"
"You just said that you saw two 'Zhang Jialin' in the hospital? Will it be..." Bao Datong tapped his chin with his finger and looked at Ruan Zhan.
"I think it's her clone in the morgue, because I can see that she is a virtual body, can only defend and cannot attack. But this also proves how powerful she is, she actually knows clone skills."
"Is there any more?" Wanli asked.
Bao Datong looked at Wanli in disbelief, as if Wanli asked a very idiotic question, "The evil spirits who can't detect his true identity need at least two. Three hundred years of Taoism. Do you think there will be many such things on the market?"
Speaking of this, Ruan Zhan seriously recalled the state of "Zhang Jialin" at that time, and couldn't help but frown, "According to my opinion, our previous guess was wrong, and 'she' or 'they' may have existed for a longer time."
At that time, he used the newly studied spell, which forced the little girl to be in a hurry, but did not hurt her at all. Considering that she looked down on her opponent very much at that time, it can prove that her own strength is very strong.
In human society, young and middle-aged people have the advantage in physical strength and intelligence, but for evil spirits, the weaker things are, the more fierce they are. For example, women and children.
"It's better to prepare more for difficulties." Wanli said, "Let's assume there are three of them. The girl Azhan and Xiaoxia meet seem to be more arrogant, so what about the other two?" He said and looked at Bao Datong.
Bao Datong shook his head, "I went to help them open the business early this morning and kept observing it secretly. The conclusion was that if they were evil spirits, they would be too powerful. Not only were they not afraid of the number of people, nor were they afraid of the sunshine, but Lu Yan even lit firecrackers himself. Of course, the child was in poor health, and the sunshine in the morning was OK, and he was dizzy at noon and went back to the back. I used the excuse that the store was not good at breathing, and even put on a Feng Shui array to drive away ghosts and demons, but they were still not exposed at all."
"Will we guessed wrong? There is no problem with them, mother and son?" Xiao Xia proposed a possibility, but was immediately rejected by Ruan Zhan.
"Believe me, Xiao Xia. That mother and son are absolutely unusual. At least, the little boy is not as simple as you think. It's just that people have different personalities and evil spirits, some are quite arrogant, such as 'Zhang Jialin', and some are very cautious, and the latter one is even more difficult to deal with."
Xiao Xia lowered her face in frustration, hoping that they had guessed wrongly. She couldn't believe that such a cute child was actually a harmful thing!
"Sometimes we have to face something unacceptable." Wanli patted Xiaoxia on the shoulder, "Think about those missing innocent children, they don't know whether they are dead or alive now, but if they are still alive, we can save them if we destroy the evil spirit!"
"I understand." Xiao Xia nodded, trying to raise her hand to get the soda on the bar, but in a bad mood, her hand hit the edge of the bar, and happened to touch the wound on her left hand, and she couldn't help but scream.
"You rash girl, be careful." Because Wanli was sitting next to her, she pulled her hand to check it. Unexpectedly, Ruan Zhan stretched out a hand in the slant and held Xiaoxia's hand in his hand.
"Give me scissors." He said, staring at the gauze on Xiao Xia's hand.
"What are you doing?" Wanli was a little surprised.
"He was stimulated today and was about to destroy the textiles when he saw it." Bao Datong grinned, "He just turned into a human and wolve tore up his clothes, and now he has to cut off the bandages that bandaged his wounds." But he said that, but he still ran upstairs to get the medicine box, scissors and one of his own wooden boxes.
Ruan Zhan didn't explain, but just carefully cut open the bandage on Xiaoxia's wound and saw a slender wound on her left ring finger. It didn't look serious, but it showed a strange red color. If you don't look closely, you will think it was a knot on the wound, but he smelled a trace of blood on the small wound.
How could such a small wound have such a heavy smell of blood?
"So many days, why haven't healed?" Wanli frowned and found something wrong. "Have you seen a doctor?"
"What's going on? I don't think anything is abnormal." Xiao Xia saw Ruan Zhan and Wanli were so interested in her fingers.
"If you hadn't touched the wound, I wouldn't have realized it." Ruan Zhan said as he gathered his spiritual power, felt it carefully, and after a while, he said, "Do you know why that evil spirit can break my array and hurt people through mirrors and sounds?"
"It's not because of my hands, is it?"
"It's because of the blood and energy in your hands. He only sucks a little blood and energy in your hands, and then he can use magic tricks to find you, just like a telephone line."
"I was extremely desperate to hear this." Although Bao Datong said that, his face seemed to be indifferent. "The more we analyze, the more we feel that their magic power is really strong. According to common sense, it will be as easy as pinching us to death."
"Now, untie his blood tracking first." Ruan Zhan put Xiaoxia's hand on the bar and pointed to the small wooden box beside Bao Datong.
"Look? I am the most useful partner. At least I can solve all kinds of evil magic. My sect is the most authentic one."
Bao Datong opened the wooden box as he spoke, took out a piece of yellow paper from it, and then took out a bottle of powder-like things and a bottle of talisman water. He first poured the powder into the center of the paper, and then poured the talisman water on it. In an instant, the yellow paper that should have been soaked was mainly centered on the powder and quickly expanded outward and turned blood-red. Bao Datong grabbed it and threw it into the air when the paper turned red.
The paper immediately burned, Bao Datong reached out and silently said something in his mouth. The paper that had become ashes fell into his palm without any fault. He held Xiao Xia's wounded hand with one hand and put the paper ashes on the back of her hand with the other, his eyes closed, and he didn't know what he was talking about.
Xiaoxia thought it would still hurt as much as when she removed the corpse poison just now, but it didn't. The back of her hand was itchy and she wanted to scratch it to feel comfortable. But when Bao Datong finally withdrew her hand, Xiaoxia was surprised to find that the talisman paper that had been burned into ashes had returned to its original appearance.
Bao Datong took back the red paper, took out another kind of medicine powder and talisman water from the wooden box, and turned the paper back to yellow with the same procedure.
"Isn't it amazing?" He tilted his head and smiled at Xiao Xia, "Don't think this paper is ordinary paper, it's as much as you want. This is made of special things. I only have three pieces in total."
Xiao Xia looked down at his hand and saw that the wound was still there, "Nothing has changed, it must be a bluff."
"No, this is not a chemical experiment, nor is it a trick for the genius to deceive people. It seems simple, but it is actually very difficult to operate." This time, Ruan Zhan explained to Bao Datong, "The physical damage requires the recovery of his own body, but this kind of evil magic that controls others with blood and energy must be cracked by spells."
"Then didn't he save me twice today?"
"Yes. Give me your body!" Bao Datong said with a stern smile.
"Her hand was injured at Lu Yan's house last time. In this way, it can be basically confirmed that there is something wrong with the mother and son?" Wanli led the topic back.
"The problem is how to find them." Bao Datong sighed distressedly, "Azhan and I have come into contact with the mother and son, but we have not found a place to start. Logically speaking, whether ghosts or demons, they all have their own life gates, just like practicing the golden bell cover, the iron cloth shirt must have their own covers. "Zhang Jialin" is more arrogant and looks down on Azhan, so that he can see the red lotus in her heart. That is also her life gate, but I can't tell anything about the mother and son."
"What should I do?" Xiao Xia said, "Can I learn from Jiang Ziya to burn the pipa spirit and burn the two of them to death to force out the evil spirit?"
"That's not possible!" Bao Datong said hurriedly, "The exorcising ghosts and demons are the same as the legal sentence of death. You must be cautious and cautious. You must be able to exorcise demons under very certain circumstances. There must be no harm to innocent things, otherwise it will be extremely harmful to good deeds."
"That is to say, unless we are indeed evil, we cannot touch them? But how can we catch their handle?" Wanli spread his hands, "They are elusive, have profound magic power, and have at least three hundred years of practice. Azhan and Bao Datong have only 50 years of skill together. Even if we take Xiaoxia and I, it will only be a hundred years, and this data is still water."
"Also. I have never understood the motives of these evil spirits? Why do they capture the child? What's the use? Even if they use illusions to let the child leave automatically, and their parents have no idea, why do they hear a child called 'mother'? Does this have anything to do with their previous life or life? Why did Lu Yan look for Bao Datong? Deliberately expose her identity? Having other purpose? Or do they really want to find her husband?" Xiao Xia said.
"This depends on our psychologist to analyze it." Bao Datong touched Wanli with his elbow.
"As long as there are enough clues, I can analyze that whether it is a person or a ghost, there are trajectories to follow." Wanli said, "According to the clues we have, we have goals, Lu Yan and his son and Zhang Jialin; we have related clues, Lu Yan's husband Zhang Zixin incident; we also know some technical details, red lotus, wet mud flavor, retro dresses, inexplicable hatred for Xiao Xia; we even have a preliminary assessment of the other party's strength - one is arrogant and the other is cautious, and the mana has a history of hundreds of years, knows clones, and can track blood. The Banshee's life gate is in the middle of her chest. The other party looks down on her attitude towards us. These clues are not much, but there are more details to make a preliminary analysis and judgment."
"That means we need to investigate first?" Bao Datong touched Ruan Zhan with his other elbow, "'Cousin', what do you think of next step?"
Ruan Zhan pondered for a moment, "Since we have set our goals, we should concentrate. In this way, we will divide into three groups. We will investigate the matter of Lu Yan's husband Zhang Zixin. This may have something to do with the missing child. The second route continues to stare at Lu Yan and his son. I have a premonition that the answer lies with the mother and his son. The third route follows the missing child case. I believe me, the child will continue to be lost, so if these clues are found, it will be quite beneficial to us."
Speaking of this, Ruan Zhan looked around the other three people and was quite embarrassed about how to divide the labor. Whether he was happy or not, Bao Datong was the new force for them and the best helper for him. However, their personnel increased, and he did not expect that his opponents would become more powerful, making him as difficult as usual in arrangements. Fortunately, Xiao Xia learned some magic. Although due to her natural physical condition and her practice time was too short, she could protect herself and let him worry less.
Just worrying less does not mean not worrying. No matter which mission is assigned to Xiaoxia and Wanli, it is dangerous. But if Xiaoxia is not assigned to her and she is left alone, the danger will be even greater, because evil spirits will always attack the people who are alone.
The opponent is so powerful that he is worried about whether the defensive formation in his house is foolproof. Besides, they will use other things, and the defense is always passive. If he is not there, accidents will happen at any time.
