Candle [Rebirth]

The person Xiao Ning hates the most in the entire Mount Sui is Gu Ling. .

Qingjiang Xianzun has a kind heart, and there were many free-range children back then. Xiao Ning had never seen Gu Ling when he was a child. It was not until he was 15 years old that he was old enough to be a teacher, and he saw him for the first time. "Second senior brother.

At that time, Qingjiang Xianzun already had eight apprentices. On the first day of his apprenticeship, he carefully went to pay his respects to the senior brothers, starting with the eighth senior brother and serving tea.But some senior brothers looked down on his wild child's background, or they were worried about the master's admission of him, saying that he had a good foundation of spiritual power, and they decided to negotiate and refused to take his tea.

I heard that the third senior brother was weak, so he didn't come out to see him today. He held a cup of tea from the eighth senior brother to the fourth senior brother. His fingers were reddened by the hot tea one after another, but still no one came to pick him up. of tea.

Xiao Ning held the teacup dumbly, walked in front of Gu Ling without the slightest hope, knelt down according to the rules, raised the newly poured hot tea over his head, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother, please drink tea."

After all, I am still a child, and my master is not around, and I would be lying if I said I didn't feel uncomfortable after being wronged like this.

Gu Ling didn't respond to him for a long time, he secretly raised his head and took a look, and saw the second senior brother sleeping on a chair with no style and no money, his long hair was messy, as if he hadn't combed it, hiding the rumored very good-looking Xiao Ning couldn't see his appearance clearly.

Eldest brother Zhou Ziheng couldn't stand it anymore, he took his elbow and crutched him: "Hey, wake up."

Gu Ling woke up in a daze, rubbed his eyes and complained: "I got up so early again today, I'm sleepy... Who is this, why is he kneeling in front of me?"

Zhou Ziheng rolled his eyes at him, and said angrily, "Junior Brother Ninth is here today to serve you tea."

"Ah, ah," Xiao Ning saw him brushing his hair, bowing forward, helping him up with one hand, and taking the tea in his hand with the other, complaining endlessly, "None of you Call me earlier, let such a handsome junior brother kneel in front of me, how decent is it... This tea is a bit hot, the junior brother didn't burn his fingers, did he?"

Xiao Ning was already prepared for him not to take the tea, but he was so confused by his questioning that he couldn't even speak coherently: "No...it's all right..."

The five senior brothers who hadn't picked up his tea just now winked, but Gu Ling in front of him didn't notice it, and looked at him with a pair of beautiful Ruifeng eyes with a smile, and his lazy tone reminded him of a sleepy big cat: "What's the name of the younger brother? He really fits my eyes, as if I've seen it somewhere."

Xiao Ning just felt at a loss, and he almost couldn't speak: "My name is Xiao Ning, Xiao is... the Xiao of Xiao Se, and Ning is Ning of Tranquility."

"Xiao Se and An Ning, what a good name, I remember it." Gu Ling smiled and blew on the tea in front of him, and took another sip. He didn't know how he came to the conclusion of "a good name".Xiao Ning stared blankly at the bright red cinnabar mole on the center of his lips amidst the steam, feeling like he had lost his soul.

The second senior brother is so good-looking, he thought in his heart, he has a good-looking face and such a kind person, this is the first person to talk to him since he entered the teacher's school. .

Xiao Ning was full of joy, after being apprenticed to a master, he often inquired about what the second senior brother liked and what he often did while practicing hard.But their elder brother didn't show up often, the third senior brother lived in the house for a long time, and the rest of them formed a group and never talked to him much, which made him very distressed and couldn't find out anything.

Once, he inadvertently overheard a discussion among several senior brothers, saying that the second senior brother's birthday, the second day of February, was approaching.Xiao Ning himself didn't know his birthday, but he felt that his birthday must be the most important day. After thinking about it for a long time, he followed the recipe and made a bowl of cheese with his own hands.

He observed for a long time, and found that the second senior brother often drank sweet porridge for breakfast, he must like it very much.He is clumsy and always can't make it well. After studying for half a month, he lost countless bowls. Finally, the day before his senior's birthday, he made a bowl of sweet porridge that satisfied him with its sweetness, ripeness, and taste. I hold it with my own hands and want to find him.But before he saw it, he heard that the second senior brother followed his master to Mingling Mountain to get rid of evil spirits.

He waited for him to come back, and when he heard that he had been arrested, he was so anxious that he asked his master several times to take him to Mingling Mountain to rescue his brother.Because of his excellent talent and hard work in cultivation, the master favored him very much and agreed immediately.

But before he left, the second senior brother came back by himself.

Xiao Ning took the sweet porridge he had learned for a long time and went to him. Seeing him sitting safe and sound among the senior brothers, he was very happy, but before he could say a word, the porridge in his hand was knocked over by Gu Ling's palm to the ground.

Seeing Gu Ling, he said impatiently: "Go, go, I get upset when I see you, don't hang out in front of me."

As if not long after, Gu Ling looked at him with an innocent face, and said earnestly: "Xiao Jiu, you must dare to admit that you have done something wrong. I have seen you with my own eyes. Why do you deny it?"

But... that is obviously unwarranted.

It was clearly those senior brothers who did it, and he clearly knew about it.

This kind of thing happened time and time again, if Xiao Ning had some misty fantasies before, he would get used to it in the process of being framed again and again.He accepted everything indifferently, and then he didn't even have to defend himself, and went to Shenjie Pavilion to receive the punishment that he shouldn't have received.

Qingjiang Immortal Venerable doesn't like to take care of things, and in recent years he has often retreated. All matters are handled by the Immortal Master Wanshan next door, so he can't protect this little apprentice he often praises.Gu Ling led those senior brothers and ruined his reputation. Xiao Ning was able to argue a few words before, but later, he was unable to argue.

I thought he was a good person at first, but now it seems that it is all an illusion.

So when he sat at the table and saw Gu Ling taking out his favorite food one by one, the surprise in his heart was like a huge wave, surging and drowning him, which made him feel a happy suffocation.

It's just that this feeling was too erratic, and when he walked into the Siyin Pavilion of the Wanshan Immortal, it disappeared completely.Standing in Siyin Pavilion was an honest-looking low-level disciple, holding a broom in his hand, looking resentful.

Sure enough...it's still the same, what he said today was just to let him take the blame and give him some compensation.

Xiao Ning laughed at himself in his heart, he is already much better than before, how could he feel guilty before because he wanted to take the blame for him and them, let alone save food for him.

Gu Ling came in with Xiao Ning, and when he saw this situation, he felt a "thump" in his heart, secretly thinking that something bad was going to happen.

He finally remembered what the "last time incident" that Xiao Liu said a few days ago was!

It seems that not long before the time when he was resurrected, he went to consult the ancient books of the Yaozu and Jiuming Maozu in private, disregarded the ban of Zhongsui Mountain, quietly stole the master's pass jade card, and opened the secret door of Guiyuan Pavilion , Sneaked into the ancient book storage place that no one is allowed to enter privately.

It's just that he turned left and right, and before he found anything, he heard movement in Guiyuan Pavilion, and had to retreat early.Later, when he was about to leave, he discovered that Xiao Ning had entered the Guiyuan Pavilion where the books were stored. He had always loved reading, and it was not uncommon for him to enter.

But this matter made Gu Ling angry, he poured bitter water to Xiao Si and the others, he only said that he wanted to find some interesting books, but Xiao Ning interrupted him when he didn't want to.What's worse, before he had time to return the passing jade token, the master retreated again.

So Xiaosi and Xiaowu, who are used to doing bad things, gave him an idea to hide the jade tablet quietly in Xiao Ning's room. If someone finds out, they can push the matter to him logically. Anyway, he also entered it that day. After leaving Guiyuan Pavilion, who knows what he went in for.

If this matter were left to the previous Gu Ling, he would have done it without saying a word, not only had to do it, but he would also be flattered that he had done another thing that could frame Xiao Ning.

But it doesn't work now, he has just made up his mind to clean up his crimes, how could he stop halfway without starting?

Gu Ling was anxiously thinking about what he should do. He scratched his head, and just as he stood among the crowd in order, Ge Chu, the fourth junior brother who was next to him, winked and whispered: "Don't worry, brother, I'll take care of everything." There is absolutely no flaw at all."

This unlucky brat.

Gu Ling really wanted to open his mouth to scold him, but before he opened his mouth, the disciple holding the broom in the court opened his mouth first, with an indignant expression on his face: "I have always been a member of Qingjiang Xianzun Danxin Peak. I also help my brothers and sisters to clean the house. Who would have thought that I was doing routine cleaning today, but I found this in the room where they engraved a 'nine'."

The Tongxing jade tablet was being held in the hand of the Wanshan Immortal, looking at it thoughtfully.

"I still don't know what it is, I just think it looks familiar, and this jade tablet is hidden in the robe, it looks very suspicious," the disciple said, "Afterwards, I asked the Immortal of Wanshan to identify it, and then I found out that it belonged to the Immortal of Qingjiang I have been looking for the Tongxing jade token for several days. I don’t know who stole it, but fortunately I found it, otherwise I don’t know what to do.”

"Xiao Ning, the people in Guiyuan Pavilion told me that you went in four mornings ago," Zuo Wanshan squinted his unfriendly eyes, and smacked, "The door of the dark room was blocked by the passerby jade plaque. I have opened it, I have been investigating this matter for several days, and now there are all witnesses and evidences, so you can explain it, what did you do?"

Xiao Ning was taken aback, then went out to salute, obediently knelt down, glanced at Gu Ling, the cold made him shiver.

"My disciple goes to Guiyuan Pavilion every day, everyone knows about it," he said calmly, but Gu Ling could hear his childish voice trembling a little, "It wasn't my disciple's doing it, please be aware of it."

"This……"

Trespassing into the dark room of Guiyuan Pavilion and stealing the master's passing jade token are serious crimes, and they have to be sent to Shenjie Pavilion for a slap in the face before they can be done.Gu Ling looked at Xiao Ning's kneeling but straight back, and trembled in his heart.

Biansheng Ge Chu still smiled triumphantly in his ear: "It's useless if he doesn't admit it, it was the same way before, he carried it to the end, he couldn't prove himself at all, so he had to accept the board honestly and finish the job, brother don't worry."

"Xiao Ning, if you admit it honestly and explain what you want to do, there are only these two crimes. If you hit the board, you can recover after a day or two of cultivation," Zuo Wanshan said impatiently. I don't have much patience, especially for Xiao Ning who "has committed crimes many times, refused to correct after repeated admonitions", "But if you refuse to admit it like last time, you will have to add a 'unrepentant' to the crime, and then There are more boards to play, you can weigh it yourself."

Xiao Ning turned his head to look at the guilty Gu Ling, his lips were tightly pursed, and he didn't say a word.

"Are you sure, or not?" Zuo Wanshan asked, "Several brothers from your school have testified that they saw you holding the jade plaque. They were not sure before, but everyone will testify, and you won't be wronged! You want to Whether you confront them or ask them, it’s up to you. I advise you to admit it earlier, in the past few times like this, which time did you blame you?”

Xiao Ning withdrew his gaze, kowtowed straightly, and said in a sonorous and forceful voice, "If you want to commit a crime, why don't you have excuses?"

Gu Ling almost applauded him directly, he spoke really forcefully, he deserves to be the man who will become the demon king in the future.

"Forget it, send it to the Shenjie Pavilion, and let Changye measure the punishment," Zuo Wanshan simply nodded, facing the disciples of Changye, Qingjiang, and Wanshan in the Siyin Pavilion at the moment He said, with a stern tone, "Look, if you do something wrong, you have to admit it, or you will end up as a junior! Everyone can look at the injury on his back! I am in the same vein all the time, and I can forget my practice. The morality and righteousness of the world should not be forgotten, thinking back then..."

Gu Ling clearly saw that Xiao Ning knelt there and sneered.

It took Zuo Wanshan a long time to stop talking, and looked down at Xiao Ning: "What else do you have to say?"

Xiao Ning seemed to have gotten used to it long ago, he replied indifferently: "The disciple has nothing to say."

Zuo Wanshan nodded: "Come on, will..."

"and many more!"

No longer caring about the question of how many days it will hurt after being whipped so hard, Gu Ling took a step forward, almost tripping himself because of his haste.He knelt down in a hurry, and in the eyes of Xiao Si and Xiao Ba who looked like he had seen a ghost, he shouted: "Wait! The disciple has something to say!"
