Candle [Rebirth]

"Sit down and don't talk, listen to me...drunk while singing..."

There were only one or two sporadic lights in the dim underground palace, and a person with long hair was hanging on a wooden shelf behind him. He bowed his head, his expression was contorted, his gentle Ruifeng eyes were filled with pain, and his right wrist was clasped with a dark iron lock ring, which was so worn that it was bloody and bloody, which made people unbearable to look at.

He was dressed in ragged clothes, with a slender neck exposed, and there were some ambiguous red marks on his neck, but his face was pale.Even so, it can still be seen that this person is handsome and handsome, with a little red cinnabar mole on his lips, which becomes more and more obvious between the bloodless lips, which seems to be an unintentional seduction.

Having fallen into such a miserable situation, he actually still muttered some unknown lyrics and music. Because of the long-term torture, his consciousness seemed to be a little unconscious, and his words were not very clear, obviously enjoying himself.

"You have to have fun when you are idle, good...night...more, more teaching..."

Standing in front of him was a man in black clothes. The man suddenly reached out and grabbed his slender neck. He stared at the cinnabar mole on his lips with a half-smile, and said, "Gu Ling... Gu Chaosheng, take care of me!" Isn't it good to please me, you have to challenge my bottom line again and again..."

"Xiao...Ning..."

Xiao Ning's subordinates seemed to use a little force, Gu Ling sensed the pain, stopped abruptly, and only struggled to mumble: "Pain..."

"Do you also know the pain?" Xiao Ning leaned close to his ear, his tone was as gentle as if he was talking to his lover, "When you took the whip and whipped it on my back, I was Not a single cry of pain."

"Let go..." The voice of the beautiful woman who was strangled seemed to be about to collapse, "Junior Brother..."

"Shut up!" Xiao Ning's subordinates exerted force viciously, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "When you did those things to hurt me, humiliate me, and laugh at me, did you ever think that I was your junior brother?" ? Now I’m not stingy, it’s just these two words, do you deserve to call them?”

His gaze moved down slowly and landed on the red mark on his neck, his tone suddenly became a little more ambiguous: "Or you have been a male favorite for a long time, and you think it's more interesting to be called junior brother?"

"Ha...ha..." Gu Ling, who was strangled by him, suddenly let out a long laugh for some reason.Seeing that he didn't reply, Xiao Ning felt furious in his heart, and added some strength coldly: "What are you laughing at?"

Gu Ling still didn't answer, he shook his head, his long hair brushed the back of Xiao Ning's hand, his laughter sounded a bit mocking.Seeing him like this, Xiao Ning suddenly smiled too, he raised his deep and moving eyes, and smiled with a pair of deep dimples: "Chao Sheng is a cat clan with nine lives, so naturally he is not afraid of death, let me do the math." , how many lives do you have left?"

Gu Ling stopped laughing suddenly, he raised his head with great effort, as if he wanted to say something, but Xiao Ning had already strengthened his hands, and his throat was so tight that he couldn't say a word, so he could only open his beautiful eyes. Ruifeng stared fixedly at Xiao Ning, as if unwilling to do so.

"No...I..."

Seeing him like this, Xiao Ning felt happy in his heart, he smiled happily, and said softly: "Chao Sheng...you have to remember it well, if you don't obey me next time, you won't be able to die so easily... Ah, then See you later.

After saying that, with a little force from his hands, he easily cut off his neck.With a crisp snapping sound, the beauty in front of her suddenly lowered her head. He let go of his hand contentedly, raised the chin of the person in front of him, and looked at his face carefully again.

This face was covered in blood, the eyes were tightly closed, lifeless, and the long eyelashes stuck to the lower eyelids, looking innocent and pitiful.But only he knew what kind of vicious heart was hidden under such a beautiful skin.

He squeezed his chin, looked at it for a long time and then dropped his hand boredly.Long hair brushed the back of his hand again, and he felt a drop of cool liquid on his fingertips.

"Ha... will you cry too?"

Xiao Ning sneered, turned around and told the guards who had been guarding the gate of the underground palace: "Go and invite the Holy Hand."

Not long after, a ghost-like man came in with a medicine box on his back. He didn't say much, and after a simple salute, he began to feel the pulse of Gu Ling who was bloody on the shelf.He picked up a silver needle with his fingertips, skillfully and precisely pierced it into an acupuncture point on Gu Ling's palm.

Xiao Ning folded his arms and stood aside, thinking comfortably, how to torture him when he wakes up this time.

But the needle sticking action was repeated several times in a row, and the person in front of him didn't have any tendency to wake up.Xiao Ning stared at the slightly frowned eyebrows of Fang Shi, the number one sage in the magic doctor clan, and asked impatiently, "What's going on?"

Fang Shi withdrew the needle, stroked the cold wrist of the dead beauty in pity, turned his head and bowed calmly, and said: "Your Majesty, as you wish, this person's nine lives have already been exhausted. The body is dead and the soul is gone, and the gods will not be able to save them."

"What?" Xiao Ning thought he was joking, and said a little unhappily, "I remember his life clearly one by one. I obviously only killed his seven lives, but you said..."

When he said this, he stopped abruptly, moved his footsteps lightly, approached a little closer, with some hope and uncertainty, and asked again: "Where did his two lives go?"

Fang Shi still lowered his head, and replied indifferently and respectfully: "I'm afraid he had died twice before His Majesty killed him for the first time. Your Majesty hates this person deeply, and now that he is dead, isn't it?" Does it suit you..."

"Nonsense!" Xiao Ning threw back angrily, and the pool in the underground palace was stirred up by him to create a huge splash, "How can he kill himself twice for such a life-saving person? He is colluding with you." Come to lie to me, do you want to escape?"

Fang Shi sneered, the laughter was like a sharp knife, piercing his heart: "Your Majesty's words are ridiculous, I have never met this person before, but I was invited by Your Majesty to help him revive, why do you want to revive him?" Save him? Now that the person is dead, there is no need for me to come again, so please dispose of the body yourself."

He put away the needle box so directly, bowed to him politely, then turned around and left the empty underground palace.The guards outside the underground palace closed the door respectfully, and the candles lit on the four walls were flickered.

Nervously, Xiao Ning walked back and forth twice in the same place, and suddenly leaned over, leaned in front of Gu Ling, and said softly: "I know you are lying, let me tell you, I will count to three, if you still don't wake up..."

"I……"

"I'll throw you into the crowd of demons. They have never seen such a beautiful woman with icy muscles and bones, and they don't know what to do..."

"I counted, one..."

"two……"

"three--"

Xiao Ning stared at the calm profile of the person in front of him, his lips trembled twice: "Speak."

"Gu Chaosheng! I told you to talk! Don't you usually like to talk!"

He hugged him, waved his hand and untied him from the wooden shelf.Gu Ling collapsed softly in his arms, still shouting no matter how much he shook, his pale lips were tightly pressed together, and he didn't answer a word.

Xiao Ning was a little panicked, he touched the face of the person in his arms with trembling hands, but the tentacles were cold.Gu Ling hadn't seen the sun for a long time, his small face was pale, and the cinnabar on his lips was like a drop of bright blood.

"You...you say something!"

"Master... senior brother..."

"Brother!"

"How dare you... how dare you die!"

The guards outside the underground palace heard an extremely painful scream from the closed door. They guarded the door and heard all kinds of voices inside the door, lewd, pleading, and teasing, but they never heard of it. I have heard such a painful voice from His Holiness.

But... They have also seen the beauty locked up here, every time they saw him, he always looked sleepy, his pupils had no luster at all, as if he had lost all interest in life long ago.Dying like this...isn't a bad thing, right?

The two guards by the door looked at each other, then quickly lowered their heads again.

"..."

"Occasionally, the heart is like love, and beside the plum trees, like this, the flowers and plants are loved by others, and life and death are followed by others' grievances, so they are miserable and unremembered. Waiting to be beaten and fragrant, the soul is full, and it will be a cloudy and rainy day... "

"...Dreams are short, dreams are long, and they are all dreams. What year has it been since last year?"

A hazy voice came from the ear, as if a woman was singing through the curtain, a sweet aroma filled the nose, and a few coquettish smiles were mixed in the air.Gu Ling frowned uncomfortably, and finally opened his eyes.

"Second senior brother is awake!"

"Second senior brother brags to us every day that he often comes here, but he falls asleep before he comes, and he is useless!"

where is this place?

Who is speaking?

Gu Ling touched his neck subconsciously, but it was neither painful nor itchy, as if there were no scars at all.In a haze, he inadvertently touched his right wrist again, that wrist was white and soft, without the black iron lock ring that had imprisoned him for many years - the first day he was arrested, Xiao Ning had fastened the lock on him He didn't take off the ring until he died. The black iron was cold and piercing, which made him unforgettable.

"Second senior brother, aren't you stupid?"

A teenager waved his hand with a smile in front of him. He managed to focus his eyes, but saw a familiar face.

"Little...Little Six?"

Trying to speak, the boy he called "Little Six" laughed and sat back, saying: "Come on, I'm not stupid, it seems that I'm sleepy."

With a splitting headache, Gu Ling broke away from a woman beside him who was pouring wine for him, and stood up unsteadily.

It seemed that he was in some kind of pavilion, and the sound of teasing and playing was endless. Sitting next to him were the brothers from the same school who died in the battle when the demons attacked Zhongsui Mountain, Xiao Si, Xiao Wu, Xiao Xiao. Six, Xiaoqi, Xiaoba, and a few disciples under the elders who couldn't remember their names, were all looking at him with strange eyes.

Gu Ling was confused, and blurted out a sentence: "Where is Xiao Ning?"

"Why are you looking for Xiao Ning here? I think you're looking for a chipper." Xiao Liu glanced at the others and replied strangely, "Besides, if we come down the mountain to have fun, can we take Xiao Ning with us? Let him know , I will definitely tell Master, and Master will not break our legs by then?"

In the past...he was young and frivolous, and he loved going down the mountain with this group of friends to visit brothels, molested girls, and made all kinds of ridiculous things happen.

Gu Ling grabbed Xiao Liu's wrist with such force that he almost crushed his wrist bone: "This year... what year is this year?"

Xiao Liu bared his teeth in pain: "Second senior brother, are you sick? It hurts! This year... Changsong 26 years, are you stupid?"

The 26th year of Changsong, the 26th year of Changsong, that year...he was only 19 years old.

And Xiao Ning was only 16 years old.

Gu Ling pushed Xiao Liu away, and rushed to the bronze mirror on the other side of the room like crazy.The bronze mirror is not clear to people, but he still clearly distinguishes his appearance at this moment. He is wearing a white dress specially made by Zhongsui Mountain, with a water blue pattern around the cuffs, bright eyes, and red lips. of cinnabar.There is a red mark between the brows - all the disciples of Zhongsui Mountain have a little red mark between the brows, only he preferred to elongate it when he was young, and he felt that it was more romantic.

Gu Ling sat down in front of the bronze mirror in a daze, almost wanting to laugh out loud.

God bless, he... was born again.

He was reborn at the age of 19. At that time, he was still the second disciple of Qingjiang Xianzun at the end of the year. He did not do business all day long. He loved to hang out with his disciples down the mountain, fight cocks and fish, and flirt with girls.Xiao Ning is also his well-behaved little junior brother, the number one villain in Zhongsui Mountain, who has never fallen into a demon, never hated him, never killed him, nothing...never happened.

There is still time.

"By the way, second senior brother, have you thought about when to do that matter last time? If the master asks, let's stick to the old way? Anyway, Xiao Ning didn't come across this kind of thing once or twice. No one believes it, and the Immortal Wanshan certainly doesn't doubt us..."

Back then they were too young and often caused troubles, but due to some special reasons, Gu Ling led the brothers to blame Xiao Ning every time.It's no wonder Xiao Ning hated him so much later, now that he thinks back on what he did, he can't wait to slap himself.

But beating yourself is absolutely impossible, so Gu Ling turned his head, slapped Xiao Liu who was talking to him just now with a straight face, and reprimanded him: "If you do something wrong, you have to take responsibility, you know? Do you know? At such a young age, you always want to plant and frame your junior brother. How can you be decent? If brother Wei hears such words again, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of the master!"
