Candle [Rebirth]

He remembered that Xiao Ning was kneeling upright on the summit of Mount Sui and Yungong Terrace, with the scorching sun shining brightly above his head. The disciple of Shenjie Pavilion took a long scroll and carefully counted his crimes in front of the three immortals, while Xiao Ning's lip was bitten, but he still gritted his teeth and kowtowed, his forehead hit the ground with a loud bang The heavy voice, the articulate and bloody excuses are always "disciple never".

Of course he didn't... Those were all crimes he made up for him.

Gu Ling remembered that he took the long whip that quenched his spiritual power and carried out the execution himself. The long whip with the whistling sound of the wind left a rotten blood on his back.At first he knelt straight, refusing to bend down, but then he couldn't stand the pain and fell to the ground. When he got up, he still straightened his waist, his whole body was as proud as a green pine.

He beat ninety-nine and eighty-one whips.

The howling of the wind is unforgettable.

The moment the long whip fell to the ground, Xiao Ning finally couldn't hold on anymore, propped up on the ground with one hand, and sat down paralyzed.He walked in front of Xiao Ning from behind Xiao Ning, his voice was devoid of emotion, and echoed coldly around the surroundings: "The 81 whip is over, the red seal is broken, and from today onwards, Xiao Ning, under the seat of the Immortal of Qingjiang, will no longer be at the end of his life Disciple of the mountain, from now on, you will not be able to step into the mountain of eternal life!"

He raised his hand, and formed a seal in the void called "Danxin", which is the most common seal of the master. The seal fell from his slender and pale fingertips to Xiao Ning's forehead, laying a scarlet shame on him imprint.

"Loyalty is the seal, and the world is the witness!"

Gu Ling couldn't recall his mood at that time anymore, he only remembered that his eyes were blurry, separated by that layer of hazy white mist, he saw Xiao Ning staring at him tightly with his hands on his chest, and stretched out his hand to wipe his face. The blood between the articulate, a drop of tear fell from the end of the red eye, crystal clear, flashed by, merged into the blood, and disappeared in an instant. .

This tear was the only one he had ever seen, Xiao Ning's tear, and this tear also separated Xiao Ning's life - before that, he was a silent and forbearing little disciple on Mount Long Sui, who was framed by him many times, never There was one complaint.After that, he degenerated and became the lord of the demon clan. The blood mark on his forehead was redder than the one that Zhong Sui Shan had made for him. , leaving a sentence that was so cold that there was no temperature.

"I will 'repay' you well, Chao Sheng."

But now, why are you crying?

Xiao Ning rubbed his eyes, seemed very annoyed, he used to be very reserved in front of Gu Ling, although he showed great respect and trust, but such a childish side had never been shown in front of him.

Seeing that his tears were about to fall, Gu Ling felt terribly distressed. He gently probed closer, and after making up his mind, he stretched out his soft tongue and licked his face.

As if struck by lightning, Xiao Ning grabbed the cat's paw and moved it away in shock, staring at his pure blue eyes, as if looking at a monster.

Anyway, he didn't know who the cat was. Gu Ling became ruthless, pretended to be coquettish, gave a soft "meow", jumped from under his hand into his arms in a naive manner, rubbed it twice, and opened his eyes. With wet eyes, he licked his chin again.

Xiao Ning circled him stiffly, it seemed that no animal had ever shown kindness to him so actively, which flattered him.Gu Ling sniffed the faint fragrance in his bosom, and thought melancholy, he must never know that this cat was changed by himself, if he found out, this old face would be completely lost.

In the next two days, Xiao Ning carried him in his arms and ran to more than a dozen villages.

When the two went to the Xiahe Village together the day before, Xiao Ning only said that he went down the mountain to travel by himself and didn't want to trouble him, so he did everything by himself.He fends off his sword, draws spells, casts soul-inducing techniques, and suppresses evil spirits. During this period, he also considerately shields him from the sun.Gu Ling didn't talk to him much that day, so he did it slowly by himself, and after a full day, the two of them went back.

However, he didn't know that when Xiao Ning was alone, he was so...quick.

Gu Ling parted Xiao Ning's front, revealing two bony blue eyes, and watched in shock as he quickly found the evil spirit of the village, tied seals and drawn talismans to suppress it in one go, and then suddenly realized that his previous "slowness" was not at all It's all fake.

What's more, he never liked to talk to strangers. When he was around, he would even exchange a few words with the village chief. Xiao Ning didn't even bother to notify them. Walk.At the end of the day, he didn't even drink a sip of water.

It was midsummer, and he spent a long time standing in the ancient tombs in various villages without setting up a barrier for himself. When he returned to Xiahe Town with Gu Ling in his arms late at night, Gu Ling found that he The skin on the neck is a little peeling.Xiao Ning didn't realize it, he walked around the street several times, finally found a shop that was not closed, sat down and ordered a few dishes.

Gu Ling jumped from his arms to his neck, licked the back of his neck very distressedly, and cursed in his heart, this child usually looks at everything in order, but he doesn't know how to take care of himself at all.As if aware of Gu Ling's unusual behavior, Xiao Ning was taken aback for a moment, stretched out his hand to lift him up, touched his neck belatedly, and said in a low tone, "Ah, I didn't notice..."

Standing on the table, Gu Ling angrily "meowed" twice to reprimand him, but he really doesn't have much attack power now, these two sounds sounded like coquetry instead.Xiao Ning patted his head, and asked depressedly: "Is it ugly, yellow-haired girl, senior brother will look down on me when he comes back..."

Gu Ling: "..." I'm afraid the Brotherhood will be happier if you remove that nickname.

There were few people in the shop, only a few regular customers drinking late at night, the boss quickly brought out the fish Xiao Ning ordered.Gu Ling smelled the smell, turned his head and forgot all about what happened just now, stretched out his claws very drunk, followed the fish and rushed towards it.

Xiao Ning grabbed his paw and stared at him: "In such a hurry?"

After thinking for a while, he said: "That's right, you have been hungry for a day with me too... It's cheaper for you, senior brother likes to eat fish the most, I don't know if you like it or not."

As soon as he let go of his hand, Gu Ling couldn't wait to pounce on him and rolled his eyes. Although he drank milk every day these days, Xiao Ning couldn't remember to eat, and he often had a full meal when he was hungry. a meal.Now his mind is full of caring about him, anyway, he doesn't know who he is, there is something to eat in front of him, eat first and then talk.

He ate with relish for a while, then turned around to realize that Xiao Ning didn't order anything else, he only ordered a bowl of wine cheese, he stirred it silently, but didn't drink it, just staring at it in a daze.The handsome little face was full of annoyance, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
