Candle [Rebirth]

It seems to have had a very, very long dream.

In the dream, I was still a little one, with soft silver hair, white cat ears, bright red lips and a cinnabar mole, and a childish voice called: "Aniang, Aniang, who is this younger brother?"

The woman he called "A Niang" squatted down, touched the hair of the black-haired child opposite her with a smile, then turned her head gently, smiling with crooked eyebrows: "It's the child of your father's friend's family, father and friend have something to do." If you need to be busy, he will follow us first, and from now on, Ah Ling will treat him as a younger brother, okay?"

Gu Ling nodded lightly and said, "Okay."

As he spoke, he ran over and took the soft little hand of the extremely beautiful child opposite him: "From now on, you will be my younger brother, and I will protect you. I will let you eat any fish first, um... what's your name? "

The black-haired child had a dark red and beautiful totem between his eyebrows. He blinked his obsidian-like eyes, and replied softly, "My name is Xiao Ning."

Xiao Ning...

Xiao Ning.

How could it be him?

Gu Ling felt that he was terrified by the nightmare, unable to move for half a minute on the bed, but he could clearly hear someone talking around him, and then a cold lip came up and bit his neck.

it hurts.

But the pain was quickly submerged in the sweeping memory.

Gu Ling remembered that from that day on, Xiao Ning had been by his side, remembered that he didn't like to talk at first, but he couldn't stand the nagging in his ear every day, and soon after, he opened his heart to him, and held him with confidence. His hand, calling him "brother".

At that time, she was too young, and her memory was really vague. A Niang took them, as if she was avoiding someone, and often hurried on the road day and night.It was late at night when I went to Mingling Mountain. Gu Ling remembered that A Niang kissed his forehead with tears, and left a sentence: "If A Niang does not come back, you must live well and protect your brother...someone will come to pick you up." Yours, you must wait for him, understand?"

Gu Ling nodded ignorantly, A Niang kissed and kissed his hair, hid them in a snow cave in Mingling Mountain, then left under the pale yellow moonlight, never came back.

The only clear memory is that when A Niang looked back when she left, she seemed to shed tears under the moonlight, and it seemed to be just his illusion.The snowy field of Mingling Mountain does not melt all year round, and someone is singing the elegy of the demon clan in the distance.

"Hey - I send the soul of the king, and return it to the great sky; I live as a spirit and die as a ghost, and I will be entangled and buried in Tianling!"

It was too cold in that snow cave, Xiao Ning seemed to be afraid of the cold, so the two had no choice but to hug each other tightly, relying on each other's body temperature to keep warm.It was freezing cold, the environment was unfamiliar, and there was no food. Gu Ling didn't remember how long he stayed in that snow cave. He only remembered that it snowed heavily for three days, and the sun came out three days later, so he dared to take Xiao Ning with him. come out.

At that time, he faintly realized that A Niang might not come back again.

Mingling Mountain was still the territory of the demon clan at that time, and the two demon clans were fighting. A Niang told him that Xiao Ning had the blood of the demon clan, so he didn't dare to take Xiao Ning to join those "relatives" of the demon clan.They are too young, neither of them know how to change form, and they can't survive in the human world with the appearance of a monster.

He and Xiao Ning hid in Tibet on the Mingling Mountain for a month or two in fear. They didn't wait for anyone to pick them up, only a group of greedy monsters.

Then...the scene reappeared in the ancient mirror on the Island of Spiritual Wish.

He lost his first life just like that, drained all of his blood, even his eyelashes were frozen, he hugged Xiao Ning tightly under his body, no one could pull him away.

When he woke up in a daze, a young man who looked like a banished immortal brought him a bowl of medicine, and told him with a smile that he was originally a cat clan with nine lives, and that he would not die if he was with him.He looked at the beautiful and gentle face of the immortal in front of him, thinking that this was the person A Niang said "will come to pick them up", even if he wasn't, he was the best person in the world.

He and Xiao Ning finally had a safe place to live and clean clothes to wear. He recalled the memory of falling into the well in Xiahe—that was the scene when they first entered the mountain.Xiao Ning didn't like writing, so Gu Ling patiently held him in his hand, and wrote word by word in front of the window where the sweet-scented osmanthus was fragrant.

"Being less than a hundred years old, I often worry about a thousand years old..."

"The days are short and the nights are long, why not swim with candles?"

Xiao Ning turned around and showed him a bright smile: "Brother, what does this mean?"

"What's your name, elder brother, senior brother?" Gu Ling patted his head, but his tone was gentle, "It means that if you live alone, don't dwell on worry and resentment, and do things that make you happy."

But what happened later?Later, he thought it was the savior's master who sealed the memories of the two of them, removing them from each other's lives down to the bones, leaving no residue.The person he swore to protect when he was young was framed and framed by him, ruined by him, fell into the devil's way with many scars, and dragged him into the mud with his own hands, entangled with fate, and never died.

How could this be……

In the beginning, everything was not like this...

Today, how can he forget his worries?how to be happyAnd who are you going to... swim with a candle?

A series of broken voices came out of Gu Ling's throat. His limbs seemed to be locked on the bed, unable to move at all. He struggled desperately to open his eyes.

so dark...

Who can help me……

It wasn't until that cold hand touched his eyelids that Gu Ling managed to open his eyes. The room was pitch-black, with no lights on, and the pouring rain of summer night hit the window sills like a jade bowl. A handful of pearls were sprinkled.

Xie Qingjiang was sitting beside him, holding his chin and looking at him carefully. When he saw that he was awake, his beautiful eyes showed a little smile: "Xiaoer, are you awake?"

He stood up, stretched his waist gracefully, rubbed his eyes and said comfortably: "Your memory was sealed by me after I went to Mingling Mountain that year. Now that you have unlocked it, you can tell Master about it." , what did you dream about?"

Gu Ling stared at him with such force that his veins were about to pop out, but he was still unable to move at all, and even had difficulty speaking: "Why... why are you doing this to... us?"

Xie Qingjiang didn't answer, his cold fingertips ran along his face to the side of his neck, and Gu Ling realized that there was a bite wound on his neck.Xie Qingjiang dipped his fingers in the blood on his neck, licked it lightly, and said with a light smile, "I'm asking you something, how did you get to another matter?"

"It's you..." Gu Ling's throat seemed to be choked, just a few words made him dizzy, but even so, he still stared at Xie Qingjiang, using all his strength to make his voice hoarse He said, "It's you...the wound on the third junior brother's neck, it's you...he, he didn't get hurt at all back then, it's...isn't it?"

"So what if it is, so what if it's not?" Xie Qingjiang raised his eyebrows. Back when the Four Immortals were famous in the cultivation world, he had such a face as bright and beautiful as a flower, worthy of a sentence like a spring mountain. "Xiao Er has fallen to this point, is there still time to care about others?"

Gu Ling saw red aura emerging from his palm and lingering around him, he gasped heavily, and suddenly realized, his voice broke in shock: "This is... this is the blood of Dongyu? Big brother... Big brother, is it you too?"

Xie Qingjiang's expression suddenly changed from gentle and peaceful just now to indifferent, he lowered his eyes, and suddenly burst out laughing, the laughter was sharp and shrill, as if he was crazy: "Hahaha, your big brother... I didn't want to hurt him Who told him to break into the Danxin Pavilion without my consent that day, and saw something he shouldn't have seen, I can't keep him... Yu Yishan, a trash, can only come up with these bad ideas to take the blame for him, if If the person who suddenly appeared didn't rescue them, they would have died long ago! They should have died long ago!"

As he spoke, he calmed down again, stretched out his hand to touch Gu Ling's face, and said in a soft voice: "Don't worry, your elder brother is useless to me, but you are different from him, I won't want you fate."

The red spiritual energy entangled and wrapped around his neck gently. A light burst in front of his eyes, and then it was pitch black. Gu Ling could only hear Xie Qingjiang's always gentle and pleasant voice: "Xiao Er, have you heard of Qing Jiang's voice?" What is the tactic..."

Zuo Wanshan's voice came out of nowhere, he seemed to have been in this room for a long time: "Why are you talking so much with him?"

Xie Qingjiang regretfully replied: "It's my apprentice anyway, I'm a little bit reluctant...by the way, you can send him...to stay for a few days, I'll tell the outside world that he went out with me temporarily to get rid of trouble, and they took him away .It will be easier to deal with him when he comes back."

Zuo Wanshan said "um", and his tone suddenly became a bit cold: "He has already remembered, what should Xiao Ning do? Although he doesn't remember the past, he is still very dependent on Gu Ling..."

Consciousness was withdrawn bit by bit, and before fainting, Gu Ling heard Xie Qingjiang reply with a smile: "No rush."

Xiao Ning...

The sound of rain is right next to his ears. It seems that such thunderstorms often fall in summer nights. There are stone tables and chairs under the osmanthus tree in front of his window. A few hours ago, he was still thinking about how to face him at night, how to tell him How to tell him that heart-wrenching sentence so that he no longer has to be afraid... The world is turned upside down in a trance.

Obsessions were entangled in his mind, and he was in a mess. Many voices flashed across his half-dream and half-awake state. Gu Ling opened his mouth in despair and murmured. There seemed to be blood in his throat——

Don't wait, go back... run, run...

Is the rain on a summer night cold?

Help me... who can help me?

There seemed to be sounds of fighting around him, and there were several high-pitched exclamations. The heavy rain hit him chaotically. When Gu Ling woke up again in a daze, he found himself lying on a black seashore.

Not far away, a figure suddenly passed by, and the sound of fierce battle was endlessly chaotic.There were no other thoughts in Gu Ling's mind, and all that came roaring in was one word - "run".

He climbed a few steps in embarrassment, and jumped into the black sea without hesitation.The people in the distance seemed to notice that he had jumped into the sea, drank a few words angrily, and chased after him, but no one dared to jump into the sea.The salty sea water poured into the ears, all the sounds were blurred, there was only a deep tidal sound, exhalation, inhalation, and then hidden in the roar of the tide, it returned to calm.

A big wave rolled over and completely swept him into the sea. Gu Ling choked on the water, coughed hard twice, and struggled to swim upstream, but in vain, the sea water seemed to be dead. Since he fell into the water, his body It began to fall uncontrollably.

It seems that the broken ripples of the raindrops can still be seen on the sea water.

fall...

With a flash of inspiration, Gu Ling raised his hand and bit his wrist without hesitation, and the smell of blood immediately filled his entire mouth.He raised his hands high, and silently recited a sentence in his heart as if he was desperate——

"The sea of ​​the sky..."

"Bring me... the spiritual wish!"
