Candle [Rebirth]

The Sword Trial Conference was originally a grand event held every five years in the cultivation world. As usual, it was held at the Fulan Terrace on the main peak of Zhongsui Mountain.Of course, there are also many self-conceited and talented wanderers who come to the mountains to watch the battle and fight-if they are attracted by the elders of any sect, they can transform from an unknown little man into an upright disciple of a famous sect. The sword test meeting is always the busiest time in Zhongsui Mountain.

Yu Yishan and Zhou Ziheng, who amazed everyone in the last sword test meeting, have become the most wanted criminals in the cultivation world, and people can't help but sigh that the world is unpredictable.Queyang Mountain thanked guests behind closed doors, and did not send any disciples to participate in the sword test meeting this time. Only Qiongnian sat alone and drank tea under the first row of tables on the left with "Queyang" engraved on it.

After the Yungong Rebellion, Xie Qingjiang talked all kinds of things, and finally got her to agree to bury Ji Liangyan's body in the back mountain.She has stayed in Zhongsui Mountain so far, with a cold face every day, and she doesn't talk to anyone. When she has nothing to do, she just goes to the back mountain to drink and pay homage in front of his tombstone, or to visit Gu Ling.

She brought a jug of wine with her every time she came, and Gu Ling didn't speak, so she didn't say anything, and left after drinking a jug of wine, and only when she met Xiao Ning, would she whisper a few words to him.

Since there was going to be a sword test meeting, even if Xie Qingjiang wanted to avoid people, there was nothing he could do. Shen Changye locked the Shenjie Pavilion and hadn't seen any visitors for many years, so he could only rely on him and Zuo Wanshan to greet visitors from all over the world.

In this way, Gu Ling finally found an opportunity and sneaked out the evening before the sword test meeting.

Just now through a door, he heard Xie Qingjiang talk to some unknown guest who came to visit him, and then they went out together to Fenglu Pavilion—tonight, Fenglu Pavilion hosted a banquet for guests from all over the world. Half a meeting still can't get away.

He walked briskly through the bamboo forest of Danxin Peak, and ran for a long time in one breath, before he ran to the residence of the participating disciples behind Fulan Terrace.According to the memory of his previous life, he wandered around those pavilions, and finally managed to find the residence of Ran's family in Dongyang.

Someone in the room was tidying up the room, and they were discussing while tidying up: "...tomorrow the eldest master will go out to fight, and the one he will meet will not be the young master. The young master has stayed in Mount Sui for so long, and I don't know what his cultivation is. "

Another person replied: "I can't, I've heard people say that the one who will fight against the Eldest Young Master tomorrow is the Young Master's fellow apprentice..."

The person earlier exclaimed: "Junior Brother? The Eldest Young Master can be regarded as a genius in the sky, and he is a famous young figure in the cultivation world in recent years! Why did Zhong Suishan send a brat to fight the Eldest Young Master..."

"Hush..." another person interrupted him, and said, "Although our Dongyang Ran family is a big family in the cultivation world, it is Qingjiang Xianzun. If it is not for fame, how could the owner send the young master to Qingjiang Xianzun's sect? ...The one who is fighting the young master must be the proud disciple of the Immortal Venerable, you are not allowed to talk nonsense, lest we lose face of our family, do you understand..."

"I know, I know, I'm not fair..."

Gu Ling pressed against the cold wall under the window, gathered some spiritual energy with difficulty with his two fingers, and silently sprinkled the powder from the small porcelain bottle in the other hand through the window.

Then he walked along the pavilion and emptied the small porcelain bottle. This medicine is also from Dongyang Ran's family. Clean, but it won't last long, and it will recover after a day or two.

Ran Yu thought it was fun when he got it back then, so he gave him and Xiao Ning a bottle before going down the mountain, saying that they could use this emergency if they encountered an enemy.Xiao Ning didn't pay much attention and let him steal it easily.

After the small porcelain bottle was emptied, Gu Ling stumbled to the Jilan Pavilion and sat down with trembling hands, as if all the strength in his body had been taken suddenly.

Leaning his back against the cold stone pillar, he felt that his whole body was shaking so badly that he couldn't stand up at all.The small porcelain vase was viciously crushed in his hands, turning into a pile of cold broken porcelain, blood flowed from his hand in an instant IX, UY.

He can't remember the mood when he did these things in his previous life... Now he just feels that something is stagnant in his heart, and every breath seems to be painful, and the whole chest is filled with huge sorrow, which is choking choking his throat, nearly suffocating him.

How can it be so painful.

His eyes were dry, and he couldn't shed a single tear. Gu Ling took a few deep breaths with his mouth open, and then suppressed the dying pain a little.He sat paralyzed under the high steps of Jilan Pavilion, shrank himself into a small ball, and said in a daze: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Still come this far.

But... what can I do?

The night in midsummer is not cold at all, but Gu Ling felt a biting chill permeating from the tailbone, mercilessly split him in half, the chill penetrated his limbs and bones, and he was so cold that he just wanted to shiver .

Suddenly someone's voice came from the other side of the Jilan Pavilion, as if two people walked through the high steps on the other side and sat down in the pavilion.Gu Ling didn't dare to make a sound, so he tightly covered his mouth, trying not to make any noise.

"Tonight, the two guests of the Immortal Venerable Banquet, don't you want to go with them?"

When a sparse female voice came, it was actually Qiong Nian's voice. Gu Ling was startled, only to hear Xiao Ning's voice hallucinating in the next moment: "I slipped out from the banquet, I have already told Master, it's okay .”

Xiao Ning's voice in front of him has always been soft and tender, he almost forgot that when Chu Chu reunited with Xiao Ning, his voice was so cold, every word and every word was full of defensive stings - this is not Because the other party is a bad person, it's just that he suffered from loneliness and used it to defend himself.

"What you asked me to do, I will do it," Qiongnian sighed. It was because of Gu Ling and Xiao Ning that she was able to find Ji Liangyan on the Island of Wishes. Although things are impermanent, she After all, he was full of gratitude to the two of them, "It's just that this method works... Really remind him?"

"I don't know," Xiao Ning's voice was low, as if he felt a little lost, "I... only have this way, Miss Qiongnian, do you know—"

He paused, as if he was very unaccustomed to confessing his thoughts to others, and his tone was very awkward: "Since I entered the school, only my senior brother has treated me the best...I was bullied before, and he was the one who stopped me." After coming down, he thought of me in every detail, for so many years, besides Master, I only have him as a relative..."

He didn't say who the "senior brother" was, but Gu Ling knew that he had never called anyone "senior brother".

"Now that he's injured, it's like a different person," Xiao Ning continued, "He doesn't remember me, the relationship between us, and what I said... The brilliant reputation, to me, is nothing but something worth mentioning..."

Gu Ling held the broken porcelain tightly with one hand and covered his mouth with the other, not daring to cry out, so he had to swallow all the choked back.

Qiong Nian was surprised and said: "Your brothers and sisters have a very good relationship..."

Xiao Ning came back to his senses, and his voice was quite self-deprecating: "He seems to hate me very much now, although I don't know why...Miss Qiongnian, at least you can sit with him for a while and say a few words, but he doesn't even see me I hate..."

Qiong Nian was silent, and said after a long time: "Don't worry."

Xiao Ning seemed to bow to her, his voice still cold: "Thank you."

The two walked along the way they came from for a long time before Gu Ling dared to let go, but he didn't dare to stay too long, so he could only rush back to Danxin Pavilion from another way.The lights in Fenglu Pavilion in the distance seemed to start to go out gradually, and the banquet seemed to be coming to an end. On the way back, Gu Ling threw away the blood-stained porcelain, urged the magic in his body to heal the wound in his hand, and pretended to be Nothing happened and the general lay down on the recliner he used to sit on.

Xiao Ning, this little fool...

After finishing everything, he dared to think of Xiao Ning again, his seldom smile, his affectionate words, his cold but soft lips that night... These things that once filled his heart are now They all turned into life-threatening daggers, quenched with venom, and stabbed into the heart one by one.

What will happen when you see everything I do...

The door opened suddenly, and Gu Ling smelled a strong smell of alcohol. Xie Qingjiang almost never drank alcohol, which is unprecedented now.Gu Ling tidied up his expression, pretended that he had just woken up from sleep, and said in a daze, "Master, you are back..."

Xie Qingjiang had a dark face, the expression on his always gentle and amiable face was terribly cold, Gu Ling shivered, and before he could continue speaking, Xie Qingjiang walked towards him.

Then he grabbed his neck and pulled him into his arms in a confinement gesture.

A voice reeking of alcohol whispered in his ear: "You still don't want to see me, and you don't want to say a few nice words when you see me..."

Gu Ling was a little out of breath, and frantically tugged at his hand: "Master..."

"I went there in person, why are you still unwilling to come out and torture yourself for the dead, do you think you are a widow?" Xie Qingjiang said viciously as if he had never heard of it, Gu Ling had never heard his tone like this, "It's obviously me first...you don't want to look at me more, why are you, why are you?"

Gu Ling rolled his eyes, feeling that he was going to die in his hands in the next moment, but Xie Qingjiang let go of his hand abruptly, pulled him into his arms vigorously, and said in the voice of a child protecting his beloved toy: "Do you think I'm willing to do this? Do you think I'm willing to be a monster... If it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for him, how could I..."

He lowered his head and bit Gu Ling's shoulder through his clothes.Gu Ling supported his shoulder, almost breathless from the pain, he still didn't understand what he meant, he just felt his mind turned upside down.

"Who are you?Why did he use such a tone...

The smell of blood permeated the tip of his nose, Xie Qingjiang grabbed his shoulders and bit his flesh, completely disregarding the blood staining his beautiful and affectionate face: "I hate you so much..."

"Qingjiang!"

Suddenly, another person rushed in from the door and pulled away Xie Qingjiang who was lying on his shoulder.Gu Ling was delirious from the pain, and saw Zuo Wanshan hugging him, pricking four big acupuncture points on his back, his voice became indistinct in the empty room: "Someone plotted at the banquet tonight, why did you suddenly... one……"

After a while, Xie Qingjiang was a little tired, but finally the voice came out after waking up: "I just didn't expect them to be so blatant..."

He paused, and then said: "The child is seriously injured, you go and bandage him, after all, he will sit in the banquet and act like a fool at the sword test tomorrow."

Zuo Wanshan was silent for a long while before saying: "Okay."
