Candle [Rebirth]

Seeing him like this, Gu Ling felt that he was in a daze before, the little junior in front of him was like a little milk dog, he was obedient and obedient, and he could be submissive with a little sweetness. He cursed, what on earth was he thinking, that he would frame such a cute kid.

Thinking like this, he snatched the sesame seed cake from Xiao Ning's hand with one hand, and said with a straight face: "Confiscated, it's your apology for me."

Xiao Ning glared at him, but did not protest, blinked and lowered his head, looking like a brat who just did something wrong and was scolded by an adult.

He pulled his sword tassels and stood there for a long time, until Gu Ling picked up a few more steaming sesame seed cakes and stuffed them into his arms, then he was dumbfounded: "What are you doing?"

"I bought it for you," Gu Ling smiled happily, "Look, I confiscated your biscuits, so I will treat it as if you bought it for me. I bought it for you. Now we all taste the same. The ones you bought are different, don’t you think?”

Xiao Ning stared at his black and white, smiling eyes, suddenly felt that his nose was a little sore, he blankly grasped the freshly baked biscuit, ignoring how hot it was: "Senior brother..."

This name is not unfamiliar, but when it comes out of his mouth, it suddenly becomes extremely strange.Ever since Xiao Ning was framed by him a few times, he never called him senior brother again, and always referred to him as "you" coldly. Gu Ling still remembered clearly what he said in the underground palace. He didn't want to recognize Gu Ling as a senior brother. Not only did she not admit it, but she also hated him so deeply that... even killing him felt insufficient.

Gu Ling's heart softened, and he took him in his arms, patted the back of the boy who was not as tall as him, and said in a good voice: "Okay, okay, I will buy it for you often after you like it. Not happy?"

Xiao Ning raised his face and looked at him with still pure eyes.Gu Ling stared at the boy's immature but already extremely handsome face, and his heart beat a few beats suddenly. .

"Cough, um, you, have you eaten?" Gu Ling just wanted to kill himself with a sword. After living two lifetimes, his old face was cultivated to be as thick as the bark of a tree. The little boy's beauty was dazed, "Let's go...to have something to eat together?"

Xiao Ning nodded obediently, and the two were about to walk back together when they suddenly heard a scream from behind.

"..."

"what--"

"Ah!!!!!! There are ghosts!!!!!!"

The two looked at each other, Gu Ling's eyes tightened, and after winking at him, he turned around quickly and ran towards the place where the voice came from - the biscuit shop behind him.Xiao Ning followed behind him, turned over and passed the window where the biscuits were placed.

The smell of blood rushed to his face, Gu Ling frowned in shock, and walked towards the backyard of the shop.When he came here just now, the shop was still lingering with a scent that whetted one's appetite, but only for a while, where did the smell of blood come from?

An old woman ran towards him from the backyard and ran straight into him. Gu Ling took a step back and found that it was her mother-in-law who had just sold him biscuits, so she asked, "Mother-in-law, what's wrong?"

The old lady looked at his attire once, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, she grabbed his hand with tears in her eyes and said, "Daoist! Immortal! That's great...you go and see my backyard, it's all... ...It's all... Did I provoke something that shouldn't be provoked? I usually sell sesame seed cakes, and I haven't done anything wicked..."

Gu Ling strode towards the backyard, and used the hilt of his sword to lift the door curtain, but was dazed by the sudden strong bloody smell, almost tripped, and had to take a step back hastily.Xiao Ning saw that his gait was unsteady, and hurried forward to catch him. Gu Ling managed to stand still, and went to observe, but was startled by the scene that caught his eyes.

It was noon at this moment, and the sun was so strong that people could barely open their eyes, but Gu Ling could clearly see that the surroundings of the small courtyard were finely traced with patterns of blood.From the wall to the ground, the dark red blood that had been dried up by the sun spread ferociously everywhere he could see, and something was roughly drawn, but because the lines were so rough, he couldn't tell what it was at all. .

Xiao Ning supported him with one hand, but he had already drawn out his sword with the other hand: "Chang Jue, come and check!"

The long silver sword with the dark green tassel hanging from it came out in response, reflecting bright white spots in the sunlight.Responding to Xiao Ning's instruction, it turned twice in place after it was unsheathed, and then rushed straight towards the ancient well in the courtyard.

"There is something!"

Gu Ling ran over, but only saw a gray shadow flashing past in the reflection of the well, he also subconsciously drew his sword, and said in a low voice, "Bingzhu, come and find out!"

His flame-colored long sword illuminated the wall of the well. In an instant, Gu Ling found with horror that there were many deep and shallow scratches on the wall of the well, like fingernail marks, as if—someone was imprisoned in the well. In the well, the imprint left by struggling to get out.

In addition to these scratches, there are many other rough patterns on the wall of the well, which are similar to the patterns painted with blood outside. Gu Ling moved closer, wanting to take a closer look. He just stuck his head to the side of the well, But suddenly heard a "ding" sound.

The swordsmanship learned by the brothers of the same school is similar to that of the heart, and the sword has a spirit, so they can naturally recognize the spiritual power of the people of the same school, and cooperate to fight against the enemy.Gu Ling had never been on good terms with Xiao Ning before, and had never fought an enemy with him, but this time when Changjue and Bingzhufu met, he was as excited as if he was seeing someone close to him, the red light and silver light blended together, and the sword They collided three more times.

Xiao Ning looked at Gu Ling in surprise, but didn't say anything, only mobilized his spiritual power, and continued to order: "Chang Jue, chase after!"

Unexpectedly, Chang Jue ignored his instructions in a rare way, and just flew up and down around the candle, reflecting the dim well with light.Gu Ling was also puzzled, but he didn't show it. He just glanced sideways at Xiao Ning and said with a smile, "Junior brother, you need to continue practicing sword control."

"Changjue, chase!" Xiao Ning stubbornly gave the order again, moved closer, and looked at the water in the ancient well. His casually tied ponytail brushed against Gu Ling's cheek. distracted.

As soon as he was distracted, Bingzhu trembled a few times, as if affected by something in the ancient well, he fell straight down, and Changjue fell along with it.The moment the two swords entered the water, Xiao Ning by the well suddenly felt a strong suction force, before he had time to say anything, he was pulled in by that force.

"Little Nine!"

Startled, Gu Ling reached out to grab him, only grabbed the corner of his clothes, but was pulled down together.The bone-chilling well water submerged him in an instant, so he had no choice but to rely on his instinct to hug Xiao Ning who was very close to him, struggling to mobilize his spiritual power, trying to send him up.

The current situation... He clearly knows that his strength is not as good as Xiao Ning, so he might as well send Xiao Ning up, and let him turn around and save himself.If it really doesn't work, go to Elder Brother and Senior Brother Yu, and ask them to save people.

However, Xiao Ning didn't go up with his spiritual power. Gu Ling vaguely saw that his eyes were wide open in the water, and he opened his mouth in astonishment, as if calling: "Senior brother..."

Come on, it seems that there is nothing wrong with whitewashing.The water around him was so cold that Gu Ling was a little unconscious, but he still thought very optimistically that this time Xiao Ning owed him a favor, and he would never hold grudges against him, the worst... just lose his life, anyway. There is more.

At the last moment before losing consciousness, he suddenly remembered a question: How many lives do I have?

The answer turned out to be... I don't know.

He even lost his memory!Hateful!

Gu Ling scolded angrily in his heart, but he didn't know who to scold, so he closed his eyelids gradually and fell into darkness.
