Candle [Rebirth]

There are no four seasons in the mountains at the end of the year, Shen Changye rarely came to Danxin Peak in the past, he walked through the lush bamboo forest with his hands behind his back, looked at the empty Danxin Pavilion, and couldn't help sighing.

However, it did not stop.

He walked down the path behind Danxin Peak, step by step, without a sword, and walked up another mountain.

The enchantment glowing with golden light flickered in front of him, he raised his hand, untied the enchantment in front of him, stood at the intersection and hesitated for a long time before making up his mind and walking in.

The first thing that caught his eyes was a dilapidated pavilion.

It seemed that no one had been to the pavilion for a long time, even the front door was covered with cobwebs, the window paper was torn, and the sound of the wind passing by could still hear hollow noises.The exotic flowers and trees planted on both sides also withered due to long-term neglect, and the horizontal and rotten wood blocked the steps abruptly, and a group of birds flew away in groups when they heard people coming.

Shen Changye grabbed the hem of his shirt, feeling the severe pain from his heart, then resisted the pain, and walked in a few more steps.

The door latch was rotten, and the sound of "creaking" could still be heard when it was opened. Every time he took a step, there was a cloud of dust flying around under his feet.

then……

At the beginning of the year when they went to Mount Sui Sui, the four of them did not have such a high reputation later on. After all, they were young, so they couldn't even be exempt.He still remembered that Yingri cheerfully chose the mountain farthest to the east for himself, saying that he would be the first person on Mount Zhongsui to see the sun.

When the four met, he was only 17 years old.

Qingjiang and him are disciples of the same school. At the age of 16, he came out with a sword in the chaotic world to travel around, fighting against injustices. He and Qingjiang have somewhat similar temperaments. It's just to find a small sect, to straighten the way for the world, and to find the "great way" between heaven and earth.

Later, they got acquainted with Wan Shan and Ying Ri.

Wan Shan is calm, easy-going and caring, and he can never make any mistakes in his work. The only shortcoming is that he looks a little too unhuman.Yingri was completely different from him, or in other words, completely different from the three of them.

As his name suggests, he always lingers on him. He first got acquainted with Qing Jiang, but everyone in the cultivation world regarded him as famous as Ying Ri. name.

The Big Dipper in the long night reflects the sun and the clear sky.

Not bad at all, before going to Mount Lasting Sui, or even earlier, he was already a young man like a scorching sun.

Famous at a young age, with a good family background, high spiritual power, and extraordinary talent, after the four of them quelled the Tianxuan chaos together, the world also regarded him as the head of the four immortals of Zhongsui Mountain.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

That's why after learning that he secretly practiced Dongyu's blood, everyone in the cultivation world couldn't tolerate him even more—such a person who is already so perfect that he is not like a mortal should commit some heinous things and do some heinous acts. Proof that no one is immune.

He still remembered that it was also on the Yungongtai, it was also a sunny day, the sun was shining brightly, he recklessly mobilized the blood of Dongyu, roaring in a hoarse voice amidst the crimson——

"Why don't you even believe me?"

Why don't you even believe me.

This sentence has been dreamed many times, and it has become a lingering nightmare for him.

The evidence was conclusive, the entire Yingri Peak was filled with vengeful souls, he even saw it with his own eyes... how could he believe it, even if he believed it deep down in his heart, there was nothing he could do.

He held Wangu and stabbed at him with his eyes closed.

After Dongyu's blood was activated, its power was extremely powerful. He actually knew that he was not his opponent, or in other words, it was unlikely that the entire cultivation world would have his opponent, but he stabbed it anyway.

At worst, let’s die under his hands, he thought to himself, so that I wouldn’t have to be forced to choose whether to believe or not.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw that Wan Gu stabbed Yingri's chest, he didn't resist, or he didn't want to hurt him, so he voluntarily died by his hands.Before he died, he opened his eyes that were once so clear, but now they were clouded by blood and asked—why don't you believe me?

The saber that pierced through his chest was broken by his internal force in anger, and it has become a broken sword ever since.As long as he remembered that this sword once pierced through the chest of his young friend, and remembered that he did not resist, and was still asking "Why don't you believe me" before he died, he felt that he would never be able to lift this sword again in his entire life.

He locked himself in the Shenjie Pavilion, and never wanted to ask about these trivial matters ever since.

But he didn't expect that it was not enough for God to ask him to lose one important person, and it was the same for the other two.

Unbelievably, he discovered the secret of Qingjiang and the collusion between Wanshan and Yaozu. He sealed the two people in the corridor with his own life, and fought with them for a day and a night with a broken sword. The two men also left.

It is so big and famous, but he is the only one left in the end. I don't know if it is sad or ridiculous.

Shen Changye lowered his eyes and walked through the pavilion that had been sealed since his death. There was dust everywhere in the pavilion, but everything looked familiar.

Sometimes, he could still recall how crowded the pavilion was.Yingri likes to be lively and has many friends all over the world. There is always a group of people playing with him. In his spare time, he will come to him and ask him to teach him how to compose poems. He is extremely elegant, so he determined to learn it himself, and be like him, to be an elegant person.

But he was so young when he left, he had never even accepted a single apprentice...

Shen Changye passed by his bookcase, and it was no surprise that he found a thick stack of waste papers that had been piled up under the table, probably his waste poems.A thick layer of dust had also accumulated on the waste paper, so he found a chair and sat down, blowing the dust off the poems patiently, and began to read carefully.

Before reading a few pictures, he suddenly heard someone calling him in his consciousness, it seemed to be one of his disciples: "Master."

He replied via voice transmission: "What's wrong?"

The disciple was a little excited, and spoke intermittently: "Master, under Qingjiang Xianzun's seat... the second senior brother came back and said that he wanted to see you urgently, you..."

Gu Ling?

Gu Ling jumped into the cold stream in front of everyone, Xiao Ning even drained the water in the cold stream to find him, but he couldn't find the bones, why did he appear here now?

Just as he was about to put down the poem in his hand and walk out, it suddenly occurred to him that Gu Ling's status was embarrassing now, and Xiao Ning might still be looking for him, and under such pressure to look for himself, he might have something important to say.

Since it is an important matter, it is always necessary to choose a hidden place.

So he sent a voice transmission: "You tell him to come to Yingri Peak to find me."

Yingri Peak is a taboo of their generation, since Yingri died he has sealed it with an enchantment, so it should be much safer.

Gu Ling came very quickly, and even reached out and knocked twice on the rotten door.Shen Changye said: "Come in." Then he pushed open the door, and dust was scattered all around.

"Eternal Night Immortal," Gu Ling bowed deeply to him, "The disciple is back."

Shen Changye put down the poem draft in his hand, looked him over carefully, and said, "Okay, just come back."

He didn't even ask him what he experienced after jumping off the cold stream, and why he is alive now, and said bluntly: "You must have taken a lot of risks when you came to find me this time. Tell me, what's your business?"

Gu Ling simply relayed the news brought by Bai Yu'an to him. Shen Changye was not shocked, but just sighed deeply, and said with a wry smile: "You said that everyone, the cultivation world, the human world, and the demon world, for some Running around with strange things, desperately working hard, what are you trying to figure out?"

He hesitated to put down the manuscript in his hand, and sighed, "What are Qingjiang and Wanshan planning?"

Gu Ling didn't know how to answer, so he forced to change the subject and asked, "What is Changye Immortal looking at here?"

Shen Changye raised his hand at him, smiled and raised the poem draft in his hand and said: "It's just the pen and ink left by the old man, but now I don't know why, I always like to miss the past."

Gu Ling moved closer, picked a random one to look at, and the poem manuscripts pressed underneath were not so dusty, and the handwriting was flying and flying, and one could tell at a glance that the owner had a chic and cheerful personality.

Shen Changye asked from the side: "Do you know that Xiao Ning drained the water in the cold stream in order to find you?"

Gu Ling gave a low laugh, and replied, "I know."

Shen Changye didn't care much about his attitude, and continued: "I'm afraid it won't be long before Xiao Ning knows you're not dead when you return to Mount Lasting Mountain this time. Look at his attitude at that time, I don't know what he did to apologize to you What happened to you made you so reckless—don’t you want to avoid him now?”

"I have something to do, why do I avoid him?" Gu Ling replied flatly, "I didn't intend to avoid him, if he thought I owed him something, he should pay for that jump by the cold stream." Clear. From now on, the two of us are just passers-by, each pursuing his own pursuit, and no one can hinder the other."

Shen Changye said: "I'm afraid the bond between the two of you is not that simple. You don't know what he thinks you will be like after you die. I think he might not let you go."

Gu Ling turned his head and said with a smile: "If he is like before again, I will dance again, and I will not fall into his hands. After all these messy things are resolved, I will definitely go far away and leave him forever." , so that he can never find me again."

As he spoke, he suddenly looked away and looked at the poem manuscript in his hand: "Speaking of which, Immortal Venerable may not believe it. I have lived for so long, but I have never planned for myself. If I do not die after the chaos, I will be single in the future. , Leisurely Clouds and Wild Cranes must be much happier than before."

Shen Changye closed his head and said: "If you want to open it yourself, it's the best."

However, Gu Ling looked at the poem in his hand and said: "This is the handwriting of Immortal Yingri. I have never seen him in my generation. Seeing the condition of Immortal, we can know that he is an old friend."

Shen Changye's eyes suddenly softened a little: "Back then Yingri...was also a good person, but the difference between a good person and a bad person is often only a momentary demon."

"This handwriting is very different from that of the Immortal Venerable, and the poems are written in your style." Shen Changye practiced a hand-made lower case script, but the handwriting is a flying cursive script. "It seems that the Immortal Venerable taught it by himself."

Shen Changye gave a rare smile, sorted out the manuscript in his hand, and put it back in its original place: "Forget it, follow me to the meeting hall first."

Gu Ling put back the manuscript in his hand, and saw that Shen Changye was carelessly arranging one of them, so he pulled out that one. Just as he was about to put it back, his eyes glanced at the content, and he couldn't help but joked : "This one is written in lower case, but it doesn't imitate it well, but it's a bit strange."

Shen Changye took the sheet in his hand, the writing on the rice paper was crooked, it seemed that he tried hard to imitate his lower script, but he didn't write it well.Even so, the content was clear. He scanned it roughly, and his complexion suddenly changed.

"What's wrong with the Immortal?" Gu Ling wondered, took the rice paper from his hand, and saw that on the yellowed and old rice paper, there was a poem written, it was "Zhangtai Liu"——

"Looking at the hills and ravines, the autumn cranes startled. There used to be a startled bird to sing along. The shadow of the oars vaguely resembles the old man, and red calyx grows in the Ququ in the north of the water."

Facing the hills and ravines, the autumn cranes are startled.

Shen Changye took several steps back, and suddenly remembered that he and Yingri had written this poem together.The two traveled to Xizhou together, and saw red calyx growing all over the canal, and there were a few white cranes on the hills behind the canal.

Yingri wrote the sentence "Lin Qiuhe", and he had no choice but to add the sentence "Frightened Autumn Crane", but he couldn't write it down.At that time Yingri received this piece of paper, Dao and Dao's realm was not enough, it would be better to wait until Qian Fan was exhausted to write this poem again.

He still remembers when he asked Yingri how to get rid of Qianfan, and he said that he went down from the peak of his fame under a pseudonym and started all over again, so he must have a different feeling.

The voice and smile are still in front of my eyes: "If I go down the mountain to change my name, I will follow your surname, and you will follow mine. The brotherhood is deep."

When did he come back to make up this poem, and when...

Shen Changye frowned, and spit out a mouthful of blood without warning, Gu Ling was startled, and hurried over to support him.

He felt light in his mind, and many images about that "miracle doctor" emerged. It was the first time he went up the mountain, and he frowned and asked, "Mr. is also surnamed Shen?"

How did he answer? He said: "There is a benefactor whose surname is Shen. I have no father or mother, so I just changed my name to his surname."

There was chaos in front of him, he felt the world was spinning uncontrollably, and then fell into silent darkness.

At the last moment, only someone could be heard calling: "Immortal Venerable——"

After Shen Changye settled down, when he came out of the pavilion, it was dusk again.

Senior Brother and Senior Brother Yu sneaked into the pavilion of Changye Immortal, intending to explain everything to him when he woke up.Anyway, Shen Changye knew that Xie Qingjiang and Yu Yishan were not good people, so he should believe their words.

When Ran Yu heard that he was back, she happily ran over to wipe away her tears for a while, and now she ran back to Danxin Peak to clean his room.He was followed by Xiao Si and Xiao Wu, who hadn't seen him for a long time, and they kept chatting with him.

Gu Ling answered patiently, took a deep breath, looked up at the dim sunlight, and suddenly laughed, he thought, the world should be good, as long as it has nothing to do with him, everything is actually good.

Before the three of them reached Danxin Peak, they saw Xiao Ba running over from a distance, with an expression on his face as if facing a formidable enemy: "He he he he he he he is here!"

Before Gu Ling realized who "he" was, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu suddenly felt like they were facing a formidable enemy, and one of them said bitterly: "He actually dared to come, does he have any face?"

The other was so angry that he drew his sword directly, and said: "Never mind, let's go out for a fight and talk about Y. X. D. J. If you can't beat it, you can't beat it. What I regret the most now is that he didn't beat him to death when he was young." .”

Gu Ling seemed to realize who was here, and couldn't laugh or cry: "It's okay..."

Xiao Ba looked at him vigilantly: "Brother, don't you want to soften your heart? This brat is hopeless. Don't go to see him. Just leave it to us. I don't believe it. Now that Changye Immortal is here Here, he can still be as arrogant as before!"

Gu Ling reached out and pushed them back: "I said it's fine, where is he?"

Xiao Ba said: "Brother——"

"What about you, go back and follow Xiao Liu, cook and clean the room," Gu Ling patted Xiao Ba's head, and found with satisfaction that he finally found a younger brother who was shorter than himself, "When I go back, let's drink together tonight ,OK?"

Xiao Wu said with a mournful face, "But..."

"Okay, let's go," Gu Ling was sending them off for the last time, "Remember to prepare the best sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing."

Xiao Ba reluctantly said: "He's at the mountain gate...I'll tell them to follow you, what if he wants to do something else again. You can make a deal, come back to drink at night, don't change your mind."

"Don't follow me, I will definitely be back within an hour," Gu Ling said, "If I don't come back within an hour, you can come and look for me, okay?"

After his earnest persuasion, the three juniors finally left together, looking at him every step of the way, as if they were very worried.After Gu Ling watched their backs disappear, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

To see him... In fact, he didn't want to see him at all.

It's just that some things have to be made clear.

He raised his hand to cover his heart, feeling his heart beating violently. Ever since Senior Brother and Senior Brother Yu rescued him from the cold stream, he kept silent about what happened between them and completely closed his mind.

Just how could it not hurt.

He was devoted to being kind to a person. In his previous life, he died at his hands because of his evil spirit. Before he died, his last wish was "If there is an afterlife, I must always be kind to him from the beginning, so that he must not become That way".

But in the end it still didn't work.

Even though he didn't know anything, he didn't even have the most basic trust in him. He trampled on his feelings, took advantage of his sincerity, planned something, and even desperately wanted to kill all the people on Mount Sui .

But in this life, how can they be half sorry for him.

The moment he jumped from the cold stream, he was really tired of this kind of game. He didn't know if it was because of the blood in the other party, or he was such a person, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't change it.After losing so many lives in two lifetimes, he was really tired and couldn't save him anymore.

Xiao Ning stood facing the wind under the mountain gate.

He didn't dare to go in, in fact, since that day, he didn't even dare to go back to Mount Sui.This feeling, at first a nightmare that haunted him day and night, turned into ash that still glowed when he knew all about it.

Even if he lived, he would never forgive me, he thought desperately.

But I didn't expect that he was actually alive!

When he got the news that he was still alive, he almost immediately wanted to rush into Mount Suiyu again, kneel at his feet and beg him, tell him that I was wrong, that I was too suspicious, that I didn't know good and evil It's me... But when he came down to the mountain, he didn't even dare to rush in, so he had to stand here, begging him to see him again.

Now here he is.

Xiao Ning greedily stared at the man who came down step by step from the mountain gate. He was thinner, his complexion was bad, his long hair was tied casually, he was still wearing his favorite white clothes, and the red mole on the center of his lips Red like blood on the pale face... everything is so familiar.

But...he thought blankly, this person no longer belongs to me.

Gu Ling walked in front of him, lowered his eyes, as if he didn't even want to look at it, and expected it plainly: "What do you want me for?"

"I just wanted to come and see you," Xiao Ning replied in a daze, "I heard that you didn't die, I...I'm so happy, brother, it's so great that you didn't die..."

"What else?" Gu Ling asked.

"In the past... I already knew everything about the past," Xiao Ning looked at his smooth black hair, and murmured, "I... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, brother."

Gu Ling raised his head, didn't respond to the news at all, he even laughed: "Are you finished?"

Thousands of words were choked in his throat, all of which were turned into blood, Xiao Ning stared at his rare expressionless face, unable to remember a single word, and finally could only say: "I..."

"You don't have to feel guilty," Gu Ling interrupted him, his eyes were erratic, "I used to do a lot of things in the past, and I did it willingly. You didn't force me, you didn't ask me, and you didn't I know the truth, so there is no need to feel guilty. Now I am tired, and I don’t want to be the same as before. I have done a lot of sorry things to you in these years. I didn’t expect that I would not die when I jumped in the cold stream. It should be paid back to you, from now on, we will never owe each other."

What is he saying?

Obviously everything is not his fault, but what he said now seems to be eager to get rid of the relationship.

"That's about all I want to say," Gu Ling shrugged, and said helplessly, "It's getting late, you should go back earlier, my juniors are still waiting for me for dinner. Xiao Ning, you... I don't know What are you doing now, although what you do has nothing to do with me, but... well, you can do it yourself, at least it's a teacher, I hope you don't push us to the point where swords meet."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, for fear that the other party would see the slightest bit of embarrassment.Anyway, it's the feelings of two lives, how can it be as calm as it is shown?If I stay a little longer, I'm afraid I will be the one who collapsed first.

"Senior Brother..." He heard Xiao Ning calling him softly behind him, his tone was like a helpless little beast, "You... don't want me anymore, do you?"

Gu Ling paused, raised his head, suppressed the tears in his eyes, and left without looking back.

The author has something to say: I posted 4 Xiaojiu to be good from the last chapter, and from now on there will be no showy operations, even if there is, it is only on the surface!Fake!Don't believe it!

Today, Ah Si's hand speed has reached a new high -w-
