Candle [Rebirth]

Hua Chaozheng was sitting on the statue bored and bored, and when he saw him coming, he was a little happier: "Xiao Wu, Feihua lost to you yesterday, and I will definitely not lose again today, come—"

"I brought you something good tonight," Zhaowu sat down slowly, and took out a pot of wine from his arms, "The best sweet-scented osmanthus brew, I just don't know, how good is your alcohol?"

Hua Chao jumped down and fell into his arms naturally. Hearing this, he laughed and said: "Brother, wake up, I'm a ghost, I can't get drunk, be careful that you become a drunk cat, you won't even be able to go to school tomorrow."

Zhaowu raised his eyebrows while pouring wine: "Speaking full! That's great, let's fly the word 'wine' today."

Hua Chao snatched the cup in his hand, drank the sweet-scented osmanthus brewed in one gulp, and a sweet fragrance filled the air: "I remember a saying, spring feast, sing once with a glass of green wine—"

Zhao Wu laughed and snatched the cup back: "This is a very good song, keep reading, and I will admit defeat this round."

"You said that," Hua Chao glared at him, thinking carefully, "a wish... a thousand years old sir?"

"Ah."

"Second wish - my concubine is always healthy."

"Here."

"Three wishes are like Liang Shangyan..."

"evil creature!"

A loud shout suddenly disrupted the warm atmosphere in the temple.Zhao Wu turned around in surprise, and saw his father leading five or six people dressed as Taoists, pointing at himself tremblingly.

The "sinister" sound was uttered by a Taoist priest. He squinted his slender and sly eyes, stared at Hua Chao and said, "You bastard, how dare you confuse the hearts of the people and bring trouble to the world! The poor Taoist is doing justice for the heavens today. I accept you!"

These arenas are not attached to sects, and they are free to act. The ghosts are most afraid of falling into the hands of such people. Not only will they not get the chance to be reborn, but they are more likely to be used by these people to make alchemy and medicine, increase their cultivation, and lose their lives. The tragic end of death.

Hua Chao was so frightened that he was completely dumbfounded, still holding the flagon tightly in his hand, and looked at Zhao Wu blankly.Zhaowu reacted faster than her. He flew up and threw himself on the Taoist priest who was holding the bell and chanting. Without looking back, he shouted heartbreakingly: "Hua Chao, run! Run—"

"..."

"I see that the young master has been hooked..."

"That's not it, look at that complexion is pale, the female ghost must have used some tricks to make him so attached to her..."

There were lit candles all around, and the shadows of the candles swayed. Zhao Wu knelt in the middle of the ancestral hall in a daze. He had been kneeling for three whole days.His adoptive parents were so angry and terrified that they didn't even spit at him after hearing what the monks said. .

My eyes were blurry, I was so cold, so tired, so hungry, my mouth was dry, and my mind was buzzing.

"Hey, Little Five..."

Suddenly a familiar voice sounded, Zhao Wu was startled, and almost immediately woke up, he raised his head and looked around in a daze, and lost his voice: "...Hua Chao?"

After a long silence, just when he thought he had an auditory hallucination, a hazy pink-purple shadow suddenly appeared in the candlelight.Hua Chao seemed to be very tired, his complexion was pale, and he fell down hastily as soon as he appeared.

"Xiao Wu...they took over the Temple of Flowers, I...I can't hold it anymore," Hua Chao's breath sounded very weak, "I came to tell you that I have to go, I met a Good man, he said that he can take out the ashes from the Temple of Flowers, and I have to rest in the tomb of a beautiful woman elsewhere to recover, or else..."

The voice gradually weakened, and Zhao Wu's heart was twisted like a knife: "It's all my fault, let them find you... But... Is there no other way but to go? The 'Beautiful Bone' clan, it's all like this..."

Hua Chao closed his eyes and shook his head gently: "Silly, we are all ghosts, my other sisters will find a young girl and suck her blood to renew their lives..."

Zhaowu saw a crystal tear overflowing around the girl's tightly closed eyes: "But, I can't, I can't... I can only be trapped here because I can't..."

He hugged the person in his arms tightly, a young man who had just grown up, weeping miserably: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault... let's go together, I'll go with you, let's go to ancient Chang'an... anywhere is fine! Why can't they tolerate you, why I..."

Hua Chao opened his eyes in surprise and interrupted him, but with a bitter smile: "How can you come with me... After all, we, humans and ghosts... have no future in different ways."

"You forget me, live a good life," Hua Chao wiped away his tears, and tried to show a happy smile, "I will come to you again when I recover, let's drink and chat together, what do you think?"

"This sentence is very correct!"

The closed door of the ancestral hall was suddenly opened, and the overwhelming soul-rescuing bells rang in his ears. The Taoist priest who was thrown down by Zhaowu last time was even more ferocious in his eyes at this moment, and he turned into a ghost. Appearance: "Little ghost, humans and ghosts have different paths. We put him here as bait. We have been waiting for you for a long time! Just now everyone heard it. If you let this little ghost go, there is no guarantee that she will come back to harm people in the future. How about Kill her on the spot here today, so that everyone can rest assured!"

Hua Chao's complexion was pale, and he took many steps back, as if he wanted to use some spells, but it was in vain.Zhaowu stood in front of her tightly, turned around and said to her, "Hurry up, you..."

"You don't need to work hard, I have set up barriers inside and outside the ancestral hall," the Sandao sneered, and said slowly, his eyes shone brightly, "It's really good to cultivate a human-shaped 'bright bone' The material... If you catch it quickly, I will give you a happy ending, okay?"

"Daoist!" Zhao Wu knelt down in front of him with a thud, and kowtowed three times in succession, "Let her go, she will never come back again, she hasn't harmed anyone..."

"Children are ignorant!" Na Sandao's eyes lit up looking at Hua Chao, he kicked him away impatiently and hurried forward.

As soon as Zhao Wu turned over, he tightly hugged the scattered legs, trying to delay his pace.That San Dao was extremely annoyed, and couldn't get rid of him, so he could only wink to other people around him. The group of Taoist priests got his instruction, and murmured a spell, as if they wanted to strangle her on the spot.

"I don't know what's good! I'm here to save you!" Na Sandao kicked Zhao Wu's back several times and said angrily, "You've been confused by this brat. If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude. !"

As he spoke, he slapped the whisk on his back, and slapped Zhao Wu's back viciously, the whisk injected sporadic spiritual power, and the blow made him almost vomit blood in pain.But Na San Dao was still serious towards the door, his adoptive parents explained: "Don't worry, you will have ghost aura left on your son, after being whipped, it will be completely eliminated."

"Little five!"

Seeing blood splattered from the corner of his lips, Hua Chao panicked, and was distracted by the arms of the two Taoist priests around him, dragging him outside the door.San Dao, who was the leader, hit Zhao Wu on the back several times, and he didn't stop until he let go of his hand unconsciously.

"The ghost has been subdued, and Master Ling will naturally return to normal in a few days," the Taoist said with a flick of his fly whisk, "Since the ghost has been subdued, I won't bother you anymore, so I will leave now."

His adoptive father was still a little worried: "Master Dao, will this child return to normal in the future... I have raised him for so many years, if I can't honor our family..."

The words behind are somewhat inaudible.

Zhaowu coughed up the blood in his throat one by one, his consciousness was a little fuzzy, he was pressed to the ground by the servants, his eyes were half closed, and he muttered with difficulty, the blood stained his teeth.

"Let's go together……"

"I... will take you to Ancient Chang'an..."

"Little Five—"

"Hua Chao..."

He reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his lips, and suddenly laughed.The blood is so red, his so-called parents, the first thing to worry about is whether he will be useful in the future, but the eagerness on the girl's face is not fake.

From childhood to adulthood, all the warmth around him is nothing but hypocrisy. If one day he loses everything, these people will leave him without hesitation.Even if they are both born as human beings, even if God has given them so many years of fate, they will still... go to a different path.

What about people?What about ghosts?On the first night, when the girl sang the song of making clothes for him, the fate of floating meant that they would go the same way for the rest of their lives, and there would be no other way.

Gu Ling was so shocked by this scene that he didn't speak for a long time. He glanced occasionally and saw Xiao Ning's dim eyes. He frowned slightly and called out in a low voice: "Xiao Jiu?"

"If you want me to say, humans and ghosts are different paths, why force it?" Xiao Ning avoided his gaze, and his tone was unwavering, "It's like a person from a well-known and decent family, how can he have a relationship with a demon clan in his blood?" Do you want to be friends with dirty-blooded people like the Demon Race? Even if you force it, how can there be a good end in the past and present?

Gu Ling's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood with certainty that the child now knew about his bloodline.

Looking at his immature and indifferent face, Gu Ling sighed, and thought helplessly, there is really no point in discussing these topics between the two of them, a monster race and a demon race.But he can't say much now, so he can only organize his words and try to say: "Although this is the case, it is not the case... What's the use of caring too much about things like blood and identity."

Feeling that he didn't understand clearly enough, Gu Ling paused, and changed into a very doggy tone to express his loyalty: "Just like the two of us, no matter what status or bloodline, I will always be your senior brother, haha."

Xiao Ning lowered his eyes, his heart was overwhelmed with surprise, but he didn't show the slightest bit on his face.

He said... will always be your senior brother.

But he doesn't know anything, if he knows his identity, and knows that he has the blood of the demon race that the teacher hates the most...

Do you want to-

Seeing that he didn't speak, Gu Ling hurriedly added: "No matter what happens, we are close relatives, brothers and sisters. I will always believe in you, look to you, and will not let others hurt you."

Terrible.

Xiao Ning tightly closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembling twice.

When I opened it again, there was some imperceptible dampness.Gu Ling was busy continuing to look at Zhao Wu, and patted his head casually, and he moved closer to him.

Said something in a low voice.

"Me too."
