Chapter 8 God of Gamblers Chapter 24 Decision

"Azhan, I said that God's will deserve everyone, but I'm sorry for you." Uncle Bao said in a painful tone: "But believe me, he doesn't want to do that. He tried many ways to solve this problem before, and some methods were very painful, but they still couldn't eliminate these angers. He is even trying to give you a glimmer of hope. Now he seems to have a timed bullet hidden in his body. If he becomes a demon, he will hurt all innocent people. He wants to help others all his life, how can he bear to hurt others by himself!"

"Stop talking, Uncle Bao." Ruan Zhan held Xiaoxia's hand tightly, "I understand, and I don't blame him, although I can't agree with his way. Maybe I'm too selfish and insignificant, I just want to make the person I love happy. But no matter what I was born, I'm his flesh and blood after all, so - I love him, then I can do everything for him. Just -" He turned his head, "Xiaoxia, I'm sorry."

"Why do you say sorry to me? I support you and will save your life. You are mine. I will lend you to Uncle Ruan for a while now." She said it lightly, but Ruan Zhan knew that she was also very nervous and panicked, just to make herself feel at ease.

How lucky he actually met such a woman!

"Let's study what to do. Let's wait until I help my uncle come back and I will be kind to each other." Wan Li, who has not spoken, said: "You have always been like this in the most unfavorable situation. Besides, we have to be optimistic, but the result is still unknown."

"That's right." Bao Datong quickly interjected: "But Dad, how big do you think the chance of uncle survival is?"

"Are you stupid? Datong?" Uncle Bao carefully considered the words, "From common sense, your Uncle Ruan has passed away. What we want to save now is his soul, but we just need to find a way to completely free him and save Azhan's life. He went on this road and knew that he could not turn back, but I believe he would rather pay all the price than be a person who does evil. Azhan is his only blood, and he is the only person he owes and wants to protect the most." Everyone was silent, and it turned out that everything was decided. The miracle they wanted to create was just to minimize the losses.

"My father, I was unable to control the anger I absorbed in high school, right?" Ruan Zhan asked muffled.

Uncle Bao nodded, "At that time, the evil air he absorbed could no longer be resolved and was about to occur. He was afraid of hurting others, especially you, so he had to pretend to die. The coffin was specially made, which allowed him to ensure that his condition was slowly and smooth and not worsened while cutting off all breathing and diet. He was using this method to survive until the day when you were in trouble."

"So why do you engrave talismans with your body? What's the use of that crystal knife?"

"Azhan, did you see that the hallucination he gave you was red? That was because he was unable to control himself and showed his demonic appearance. In order to help him temporarily calm his anger, I had to impose a blood talisman. But the evil power on him was too powerful, so I had to use myself as a talisman." Uncle Bao said slowly: "Sima Nan accidentally harmed God's will, but there were many rare treasures left. The three treasures you inherited from God's will were also collected by Sima Nan, including the crystal knife. Because he was afraid that the spiritual energy emitted on the knife would attract your attention when he was a child, God's will asked me to keep the crystal knife. Later, when he pretended to die, he notified me to bury the crystal knife with him so that you could find it in the future. Haven't you found any function of this knife these days?"

Before Ruan Zhan could speak, Xiao Xia raised Ruan Zhan's palm, pointed to a wound on it and said, "This is cut by that crystal knife. Although it has not bleed for a long time, it just cannot heal."

"This is the function of this crystal knife." Uncle Bao said, "Crystal is originally yin, and the purest crystal will be invisible when placed in water. Not to mention the material of this crystal knife, if there is no reference object, there is no body in the air. Moreover, the crystal knife has been refined with supreme spells and has extraordinary power. If it is injured by this crystal knife, the wound on the body will never heal. If it is hit on the soul body, it will even overcome the yin sky and make the broken soul no longer able to gather. It is the natural enemy of the soul, just like the Blood Wood Sword that controls evil with evil, but is more sharp and tougher than the Blood Wood Sword."

"You mean to use this crystal knife to break up my uncle's soul body so that he cannot gather his shape for a second attack, and at the same time dissipate the anger?" Bao Datong said rashly. He was originally asking a question, and everyone understood it, but no one wanted to hear the answer.

This is so cruel! I gave birth to a son to deal with myself, and found treasures to kill myself! How did this old man face his heart over the years? What kind of suffering did he bear alone?

"You must use this knife, but you can think of a good idea." Uncle Bao comforted the shocked children.

"Do you have a good idea?" Wanli is always the most rational one, so he raised the key questions.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Bao shook his head, "We have thought of all the solutions, but none of them work, so we said that it is necessary to have a miracle. The reason why I broke my promise and told you this is that I want everyone to find a solution together. Now there is still half a month before that day, I hope it won't be too late!"

"Dad, how powerful is Uncle Ruan than you?" Bao Datong asked.

"He is a talented Taoist master. He worked very hard when he was young, so his magic power was much higher than mine." Uncle Bao sighed again, "What's more, those bad qi will also encourage his skills. The moment he became a demon must be extremely powerful, otherwise he would not choose to solve this matter on that day. When Azhan was the strongest, it was a chance that he would not have met in a century." He said, turning his head to look at Ruan Zhan, "Azhan, you have to remember that becoming a demon is what he is most reluctant to do. I know this is difficult for you, but if you are at the forefront of life and death, don't - don't be unable to do it, it will only harm him! It will harm you! If he has a moment of sobering and knowing his ending, that is the greatest cruelty to him! Do you understand?"

Looking at Uncle Bao's painful eyes, Ruan Zhan wanted to say something, but the word "understand" was choked in his throat and couldn't say it.

"Dad, then give me a special training now." Bao Datong pulled the topic, "Didn't you say that I was asking me to come out to help Azhan? Then let me do my best. There is still half a month left, and I will practice Taoism to the best!"

Uncle Bao looked at his son and felt reluctant and proud. This child is born to love playful and lively. He forced the Taoist skills he learned. Occasionally, he took the initiative to make fun or show off. He didn't expect that he could be so sensible and determined in the face of righteousness. God's will owed Azhan, so he also owed Datong. Both of them are not good fathers! Now seeing his son's serious and untrue expression, he suddenly felt that he was very lucky. At least he had the opportunity to make up for it. When the matter was finished, he must be a kind father. But what about God's will? He has no chance! Why is he dedicated to goodness, but the way of heaven doesn't give him a way to go?!

"Special training? You won't complain again, right?" Uncle Bao smiled. So what if Datong doesn't have natural good abilities? With such a heart, he can grow into an amazing Taoist disciple and can also kill demons!

"This - I'm sure you complain." Bao Datong scratched his head, "But you can force me, I think I can tolerate it."

"What am I going to do?" Wanli asked. He had no ability or Taoism. The newly learned Fire Hand Seal was useless, but he knew that he had a special physique and had the level of making a prop.

"It depends on how to arrange it in the end." Uncle Bao looked at the silent Ruan Zhan, "This time we all followed Azhan's command. I have not been in vain for many years. I have collected some secluded Taoist masters' talismans. I think at least these can increase the chance of winning. Now, let's leave and let Azhan calm down."

Without waiting for him to wave his hand, everyone else went out, including Xiaoxia. She knew that comforting people when they were hit is useless, and giving him a quiet environment to calm his body and mind was the best way.

She hated Ruan Zhan’s father because she hurt her beloved, hurt his heart when she was a child, hurt his wife when she grew up, and even took his life. She felt that the old man was very selfish, but after listening to Uncle Bao’s story, she couldn’t tell whether Ruan’s father was great or selfish. The situation today was not his intentional. At first, he just wanted to save his master, and then to save those suffering people. In the end, he wanted to stop himself without others knowing it and take away evil with himself, but found that he couldn’t do it!

He never thought of asking for rewards, nor did he think of hindering others, but in fact, he harmed his closest person. He was as close as father and son, but he was close to his husband and wife. For the sake of Ruan Zhan's experience, she had reason to blame Ruan's father, but as an ordinary person, she sympathized with the old man and wanted to help him. In her opinion, what the old man was afraid of was not becoming a demon, but probably was afraid of hurting others after becoming a demon, including his own relatives.

In a vague sense, she felt that the old man loved Ruan Zhan. The reason why he was indifferent to Ruan Zhan was because he knew that there would be one day when the father and son were in the duel like enemies, and they were afraid that Ruan Zhan would not be able to attack him after he had feelings for him, right?! At that moment, the old man was about to become a demon and had completely lost his mind. He would not be polite to Ruan Zhan. The pain was that Ruan Zhan understood everything but had to take action!

Thinking of this, her heart hurts again. Ruan Zhan is so pitiful. He is born with this heavy mission. How does he handle himself? How to decide? From childhood to adulthood, he has never received a trace of warmth, but now he has to pay the price for all of this! She really wishes she could be able to replace him, but she can't do it! What she can do is just be his guardian angel and make him safe. If he really encounters an unexpected situation, the relationship between humans and ghosts has not yet ended, and she will not let him go. She will never let go of him forever! He is the love she finally grasps!

Thinking of this, she could face it calmly. When she saw Bao Datong's eyes, she admired her actions. He thought that women would cry and scream at this time, begging men not to leave, or were surprised. Unexpectedly, Xiaoxia, like nothing, was humming a song while preparing lunch for him.

"You are such a strange woman, why don't you stop him?" he asked curiously.

The special training these two days has tortured him enough. He didn't know what Ruan Zhan's father would look like after he became a demon. He only knew that his father was a devil now. In the past, he always complained that his father forced him to learn Taoism, but those days were like heaven compared to these days. In the past, his father was not forced to him at all. He was indeed like herding sheep, and he was completely letting go!

Now he doesn't have a moment of leisure for twenty-four hours a day. He has to practice spiritual power and mental methods in his dreams for four hours of sleep every day, which prevents him from lying down and falling asleep. His physical fatigue is completely relieved. During the day, various Taoist techniques have made his hands and feet weak. His fighting skills with his father made him bruised and injured. He can only eat a very light meal every day, and only in these fifteen minutes can he rest. Therefore, although Xiao Xia's cooking level is extremely low, he is also very happy at this time of day. After all, he has something to eat and drink, and can sit for a while and talk.

"I stop him and only make him embarrassed. Since I love him, why should I force him? Even if he is willing to make concessions for me, he will never be happy in this life. What do I want an unhappy man to do with him? Do you live awkwardly with him?" Xiao Xia handed him Bao Datong's meal, looking at his face that had lost a lot in just a few days. "I support him. When he comes back, he will think of this matter in this life and think of how generous and sensible I am, and only love me more. Which choice is beneficial to me is obvious."

"Good words! Smart! Right choice!" Bao Datong praised. After a bite of rice, he was obviously hungry and even had such rice. "When we come back from Tietou Mountain, I will dig up the corner of Azhan. Why didn't I see a pearl like you before? I missed it in vain."

"Tsk, who cares about you!" Even though she knew he was joking, Xiao Xia couldn't help but refute, "Didn't you say it? The quality of a woman is important, and quantity requirements are also essential. I won't charge you!" After she said that, she ran to the door to open the door for Wanli.

Recently, people who came home from night have completely closed down because Bao's father and son have to go in and out many times a day, and the place where they practice also needs space. Fortunately, their practical practice will be chosen to find a wilderness when the night is quiet, otherwise the house will be demolished. Ruan Zhan just sits quietly every day, and doesn't know what he is doing or thinking. Xiaoxia dares not quarrel with him, and the two of them don't have time to stay alone. She doesn't mind this. She wants to be with him forever, but she doesn't care about these days, but she tastes the taste of lovesickness and finally understands what it means to be close to the world. The feeling of being visible but unable to get close is really uncomfortable. Even Wanli has no time to arrange the clinic. He finally completed his work today and planned to learn magic with Uncle Bao. He said it well: Sharpen the gun in the face of battle, and it will be light if it is not bright! If it is stronger, Ruan Zhan's life will be more likely to be saved.

Compared to them, Xiaoxia is the most leisurely person, so although she is still calm on the surface and seems to face fate quietly, she is the only one who is close to time and has a very clear feeling because she has nothing to do.

Finally, that day was coming, and a group of five people arrived at Jinshi Town one day in advance and moved into the hotel where the god of gambling He Fugui died suddenly.
