Candle [Rebirth]

Gu Ling couldn't understand it, so he had to leave the ice room in a hurry. He thought as he walked, but he didn't know where the tooth marks on the third junior brother's body came from. What kind of injury, could it be... This is related to his previous injury in Queyang Mountain?

He walked briskly, and as soon as he reached the green jade pond, he bumped into someone's arms firmly, and couldn't help being startled: "Ah, I'm sorry..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Ning who was frowning in front of him: "Brother just came out of the ice room, why are you so lost?"

Seeing that it was him, Gu Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and said helplessly: "I found something unusual, and I want to ask Master... By the way, why are you here? There is nothing wrong with Wanshan Xianzun. ?”

"The Immortal Wanshan went to the Danxin Pavilion, Master told us not to disturb," Xiao Ning replied, holding up the red box in his hand, "Master said that he just repaired the Qingyu Pond a few days ago, and told me to take the flower Bring here the soul of Chao girl."

"Oh," Gu Ling nodded, feeling extremely confused, and said, "Xiao Jiu, do you have anything else to do, how about sitting with senior brother for a while?"

Xiao Ning agreed straight away: "Okay."

The two sat down by the sapphire pool, and the refilled turquoise aura surrounded the red soul, continuously nourishing it. Gu Ling glanced at it and suddenly remembered something: "The sapphire pool was broken that day. Where did Zhaowu's soul go?"

Xiao Ning replied: "Master said that Zhao Wu's soul has been repaired completely, he took it to the Danxin Pavilion, and when Miss Hua Chao is also raised well, they can meet each other."

"Really?" Gu Ling turned his head and smiled, "That's great..."

The two were speechless for a moment, and Gu Ling's mind flashed chaotically all kinds of things that happened in the past few days, from the two people's travels back to the mountain, the senior brother, the senior brother Yu, the third junior brother, the master... all kinds of memories flew like snowflakes. Into his mind, it made him feel out of breath for a moment.With his back against the cold jade in the Qingyu Pond, he was fascinated for a long time, and his memory was finally fixed on the almost invisible tooth mark on the third junior brother's neck.

Seems like I've seen...

But can't remember anything.

He patted his head angrily, but turned his head just to meet Xiao Ning's heavy eyes, those eyes fixed on him, as if burning two clusters of passionate flames.Gu Ling's heart skipped a beat, he looked away in embarrassment, and stammered, "By the way, then... where's the cat?"

"It's kept in my room," Xiao Ning said in a low voice, the voice was so close that it was almost right next to his ear, "I don't know why, I always feel that senior brother's cat is destined for me, these few days when you are not around, Luckily I have it with me..."

The breath was almost spewing on his neck, Gu Ling froze, and felt his heart beating "thumping", which made him feel a little flustered for a while: "Yes... is it, then you will take care of me for me." alright."

After a long time, he heard Xiao Ning's soft "hmm".

The current atmosphere is terribly weird, Gu Ling shrank his head, and was thinking of saying something to break the awkward atmosphere, but he heard Xiao Ning suddenly speak, his voice seemed a little trembling: "Senior Brother, do you believe that Senior Brother and Senior Brother Yu will do this?" Something like that?"

Gu Ling didn't dare to look at him, hugged his knees and curled up into a ball, his ponytail drooping from his cheeks, covering his sight: "I don't believe it... But, you saw it with your own eyes, so many people saw it with their own eyes, seeing is not necessarily believing, But we can't find any other reason."

Gu Ling sniffled, and continued: "Senior brother is so kind to me, but I don't know who to trust at this time, I don't think senior brother would do such a thing, but I also feel that Master is not good. I will wrong others casually. What can I do... I can't trust Eldest Senior Brother desperately. In the end, I am a coward, greedy for life and afraid of death. Said, if senior brother is really wronged, will he hate me for standing by?"

Xiao Ning said in a low voice: "No, if I were the one who was wronged, I wouldn't bear any grudges against Senior Brother..."

Gu Ling was startled, raised his head and scolded him: "Bah, bah, what nonsense?"

But a thought suddenly popped up in his mind—fortunately it wasn't him.

If it was him... Gu Ling didn't dare to imagine what he would do, and for some reason, he felt vaguely that, compared with him, the kindness of a teacher, the world's reputation, the honor and disgrace of life and death...all of them are worthless. It's not important.

—Only you...the most important thing to me.

There was a sudden pain in the left heart, Gu Ling turned his head back with a pale face, remembering that night at the bottom of the mountain, he didn't know who he was, and he hugged him tightly showing a side he had never had before, and he was nestled in his arms. I feel that the feeling at that time is the same as it is now.

It turns out that the feeling of love...was actually pain?

Wait, so this kind of feeling is actually love?

Gu Ling was taken aback by himself, everything seemed to gradually surface in his heart, that kind of vague feelings, that kind of chaotic mood, the heartbeat of looking at each other in the dark, the lingering attachment in his arms, thinking about it. To protect, to keep private, to think of something that made me mad—

He had already loved him.

The staring in the Xiahe boat started that day, no—even earlier than that, it was only because of his hesitation and wild thinking that he classified these things that should not be ignored as other things.

So what about the previous life... Did he feel this way when he died under his hands?

The pain in his heart became more and more obvious. Gu Ling lowered his head with a face like gold paper, feeling cold sweat dripping from his forehead, dripping down his neck.It happened that Xiao Ning spoke again at this time, his voice was still trembling, but he was two or three points firmer than before: "Brother, turn around and look at me, I have something to tell you."

After he said this, Gu Ling realized that he had already been embraced by him at some point, his arm passed through his long hair, and was firmly clasped on his shoulder. Take it into your arms.Gu Ling took two deep breaths, tried his best to pretend nothing had happened and turned his head to look at him: "What do you want to say—"

Before he finished speaking, he felt something warm and soft pressed against his lips.

Xiao Ning hugged him tightly with one hand, pinned the back of his head with the other hand, and almost kissed him viciously.Gu Ling opened his eyes in shock, and saw Xiao Ning's eyelashes trembling slightly.

He seemed terrified.

Xiao Ning's kiss was extremely green and disorderly, he even bit his lips lightly as if venting his anger.Gu Ling didn't come back to his senses for a long time, his whole body seemed to be thrown into the warm spring water, trembling with excitement.

He couldn't help stretching out his hand, wanting to hug him back, but just as he touched his sleeve, the pain in his heart suddenly shot up sharply, like boiling oil pouring on the wound, making him almost heal in an instant. It hurts so badly.

The pain stabbed Gu Ling awake, making him suddenly realize what he was doing, he pushed Xiao Ning away as if he had just woken up from a dream, and looked at him who wiped his lips with his hand as if he had seen a ghost.All kinds of words rushed into his heart at the same time, and he was so choked up that he couldn't say anything for a while, so he had to turn his head and run away in embarrassment.

Xiao Ning called out behind him: "Senior brother!"

Gu Ling stopped in his tracks, but hesitantly did not turn his head, only to hear him talking quietly behind him, his voice trembling more than before: "In the middle of the night I... I will wait for you under the osmanthus tree in front of the house, you Can you come and see me?"

The pain in his heart made him almost speechless, Gu Ling glanced back vaguely, and then ran away clutching his chest.He ran out of the bamboo forest in one breath, until he reached the small pond on the mountainside of Danxin Peak, and barely stopped.

He squatted down to take a few breaths, but saw himself in the calm water.

Gu Ling touched his face, only to find that his face was covered with tears, but even so, he saw himself smiling.

Xiao Ning actually likes him too...

He even loves him...

Those hesitant words in Xiahe Town, the secret thoughts that can only be uttered to cats, are they the same as him? Xiao Ning likes him not only because of gratitude and respect, but because he likes him, because he is mixed with him. The desire mixed with love is almost the same demon, and the affection is as scorching as the sun.

Gu Ling knelt beside the pool of water, almost wanting to laugh out loud.

He stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, and laughed awkwardly. He held his stinging heart, feeling that since his rebirth, he had never been as happy as he is today.

— Even if it hurts, it's worth it.

Trembling, he picked up the pool water and washed his face a few times, but his eyes were still extremely red, and the tears seemed to be unstoppable, sliding down his cheeks together with the water drops.Gu Ling sat paralyzed by the pond, curled up into a ball holding his head.

It's like dreaming.

Are you dreaming?

He stretched out his hand and pinched his jade-like wrist, grinning his teeth in pain, before laughing in satisfaction.The pain in his heart barely subsided, he tidied his clothes, wiped away his tears, sat for a while, then stood up, and walked up the mountain again.

First go to the master to ask about the third junior brother, and by the way, you can also ask Mr. Qiuhe what is the cause of his angina pectoris... The sun is getting late, and it is the season when the osmanthus is in full bloom. An osmanthus tree, I just feel a soft feeling in my heart spreading slightly.

When I see him at night, I can break off an osmanthus flower for him, and tell him that I don't have to be as afraid as I was just now, and in the future... I don't have to walk alone in the world, they... are not alone anymore.

Gu Ling walked briskly through the front hall of Danxin Pavilion, and walked to the room where the master was resting. Just as he was about to reach out and knock on the door, he found that the carved wooden door was covered by a barrier with extremely strong spiritual power.

He belatedly remembered that just now Xiao Ning had said that the Immortal Master Wanshan came to find his master, and no one was allowed to disturb him for the time being.

Then come back later, Gu Ling lowered his hands, turned around in a good mood, and was about to leave, but suddenly felt a flash of spiritual power behind him.He turned around in surprise, and found that someone threw out a cloud of spiritual energy angrily, and smashed right through the window of the master, and a faint voice came from the gap.

Gu Ling took a few steps closer, and wanted to remind Master to repair the barrier, in case someone passed by and heard what they were saying, it would be bad.But as soon as he approached, he heard the cold and tired voice of the master: "You do it here, in case you break through the barrier, those people will listen..."

Zuo Wanshan replied angrily: "After listening to it, I listened to it. Are you still afraid that they will fail...Qingjiang, are you really soft-hearted? Don't forget how much we did back then...to get to where we are today ! But...why, are you reluctant?"

Gu Ling's legs seemed to be filled with lead, and they were so heavy that he couldn't even take a step. After a while, he heard a completely unfamiliar and joking voice from the master: "Why, I just think you are too impatient..."

Zuo Wanshan snorted coldly and said: "That's good, your spiritual power is getting weaker and weaker these days... Do you want me to hunt some demon clan inner alchemy for you to replenish it? Ji Liangyan died suddenly, you think about it... "

The inner alchemy of the monster race... The cultivation world strictly prohibits hunting and killing foreign races to supplement one's own cultivation. Only those casual cultivators and the bottom wanderers will use such despicable methods. Zhong Suishan has always been in charge of the order of the cultivation world. Once discovered, they will be sent to Yungongtai to be punished.

But master...

They also mentioned the death of the third junior brother?

It seemed that thunder pierced Gu Ling from the top of his head, he grasped the window frame dazedly, his feet went limp, and he almost fell down.He bit the back of his hand and continued to listen with all his strength.

Xie Qingjiang's lazy, nonchalant voice was full of smiles, his voice was always refined and gentle, but at this moment, it sounded like the most vicious voice in the world: "What are those low-level monsters to hunt? The apprentice who has been for so many years is the real best..."

He licked his lips and continued: "I haven't figured out which bloodline of Xiao Ning is from the demon race. It's really a headache. Don't touch him for the time being. Gu Ling... Gu Ling is alive I have been thirsty for this blood for so many years since I brought him back from Mingling Mountain to the last nine-life cat..."

The back of his hand was bitten, and there was a burst of bloody smell. Gu Ling was almost too scared to move. He clenched his trembling teeth and ran from under the window to the front hall as quietly as possible.A few thunderous words knocked him out of his mind, and tears blurred his eyes in an instant, but he didn't even dare to choke up a sob. There seemed to be a voice in his head that kept shouting, run, run, run! !

He stumbled and walked a few steps, but the carved wooden door was suddenly opened, and a red spiritual energy circled in front of him, strangled his neck viciously, and dragged him back roughly.

Gu Ling felt a pair of icy hands pinching his neck, Master's face was close in front of his eyes, his expression was very strange, with a playful smile: "Xiao Er, did you enjoy listening?"

"Master...Master...respect..." Gu Ling was pinched speechless, and tears were streaming down his normally radiant face, "Why...why?"

"Oh, don't cry," Xie Qingjiang stretched out his slender fingers, and gently wiped his tears away, "You are crying so much, Master is really distressed."
