Candle [Rebirth]

Ran Yu happened to be next to Gu Ling, and seeing the master walking away, she leaned over and said to Gu Ling mysteriously: "Master likes Xiao Ning so much, I have always felt that something is wrong, you say, this Xiao Ning will It can't be Master's illegitimate son..."

Gu Ling was taken aback, and knocked his finger on his head: "What's in your head, have you read too many drama books? Master still likes me, why don't you say that I am also his illegitimate child?"

Ran Yu replied with a smile: "It's strange to like you. The second brother is smart, handsome and motivated. If you want me, I like you too."

Before the two finished talking, Gu Ling saw Xiao Ning walking back alone holding the sword, and hurriedly dragged Xiao Liu to chase after him, and said with a pleasant smile: "The sweet-scented osmanthus cake and sugar porridge from last time are fine." ? This time I’m going down the mountain to buy some more. If you’re happy, I’ll…”

Ran Yu on the side frowned and interrupted him: "You actually bought osmanthus cake for him and not for me, second senior brother, you are biased..."

Gu Ling rubbed his head and took him aside: "Don't interrupt the children when the adults are talking!"

Xiao Ning glanced at the two of them, and responded with a "hum" with his nostrils upturned. He seemed to feel that this was not good for him, so he struggled a bit, and said: "Don't bother."

Gu Ling boldly rubbed his head: "No trouble no trouble hahahahahaha."

Xiao Ning's face turned dark all of a sudden, he touched the ponytail that he tied conveniently, turned around and walked away angrily, he didn't know what he was angry about.

Gu Ling stood there feeling a little worried: I don't know if there will be any consequences... just now, this little ancestor's expression is too cute, I can't hold back qaq

On the second day, Gu Ling went down the mountain with his always serious elder brother, sixth younger brother who was always good at flattering horses, and Xiao Ning who was always quiet, and came to Xiahe Town, the nearest town at the foot of Zhongsui Mountain. .

Zhongsui Mountain is the largest sect in the cultivation world, under its protection, the nearby villages and towns have always been peaceful and stable, and there have been almost no changes.But just recently, some residents of Xiahe Town asked for help from Zhongsui Mountain, saying that when someone was relieved in the middle of the night, they heard the sound of a "ghost" crying.

Not just one person, for a month in a row, people saw some "ghost" shadows and heard some unusual voices every day.Zhongsui Mountain also paid attention to it, and immediately sent four people to investigate the matter.

In the early years, the area around Mount Sui was very uneven, but it gradually became peaceful and prosperous after the four immortals established the sect.Seeing that they were from Zhongsui Mountain, the mayor of Xiahe Town attached great importance to it, and brought many young and middle-aged men to the entrance of the town to welcome the four of them.

"Immortal Venerables, please," the mayor guided the four of them respectfully, and said as they walked, "If we have no other choice, we are embarrassed to go to Zhongsui Mountain to trouble the immortals. Our town has always been peaceful, and we don't know this. Where did the kid come from..."

Zhou Ziheng frowned and asked, "You said it was a 'ghost' crying in the post on Mount Sui, and now you're talking about a little ghost. I don't know how you figured out that the strange sound is a ghost?"

"This..." The old mayor stopped, but changed the subject and said, "Some young men in our town were scared and cried in the middle of the night. It was really scary, scary, what else could it be if it wasn't a ghost..."

Gu Ling held Ran Yu with one hand and Xiao Ning with the other, like a parent with a child, he looked around boredly, but was attracted by the pattern on the bluestone board under his feet: "Hey, old mayor, you The patterns on the bluestone slabs are unique. Although Xiahe Town is considered rich, it’s not rich enough to carve patterns on the slate, right?”

"What are you barking about, it doesn't matter how big or small it is." Zhou Ziheng turned around and scolded Gu Ling with a straight face.The mayor was not angry at all, and explained with a smile: "I don't know, the road we walked was originally called 'Flower God Road', which was specially paved when Xiahe Town built the Flower Goddess Temple. "

He was enthusiastic and explained carefully: "Our Xiahe area has a pleasant climate. Our ancestors used to grow exotic flowers and plants to make a fortune, so they all worshiped the goddess of flowers and built a temple for her to pave the way. But later we felt that It's better to farm the land honestly, and don't fix those vain things. The Temple of Flowers is so dilapidated. Only this road is left. On the only way to enter the town, it looks strange. It wasn't dismantled."

Gu Ling listened with gusto, turned his head inadvertently, only to find that Xiao Ning was staring carefully at the stone slab under his feet, he couldn't help but smile, and approached: "Young brother is so fascinated, do you like it?"

Xiao Ning frowned slightly, then immediately raised his head, pretending to be nonchalant and looking elsewhere: "It's just a stone slab, what do you like or not?"

Although Xiao Ning in the previous life left a very serious psychological shadow in his heart, but now he is just a half-grown kid, with red lips and white teeth, and a handsome face that looks very cute.Gu Ling was healed, his scars forgot the pain, and he was not afraid of him. Seeing his awkward appearance, he felt itchy in his heart, so he continued to be mean, bent down and whispered to him: "The one selling sesame seed cakes at the head of Xiahe Town Do you still remember, I bought it for you last time, and you ate a lot. You should eat less for lunch later, and I will take you to eat it secretly after Senior Brother and Xiao Liu have a rest..."

What he said seemed to be abducting him to a private meeting.

Xiao Ning's small face turned red, he snorted coldly, neither agreed nor refused, broke away from his arm, trotted a few steps to the front.Naturally, Gu Ling didn't know about his complicated mental activities, so he only secretly slandered, he didn't say anything excessive, why did he run away ashamed.

Ran Yu saw that Gu Ling was smiling like a fool, so he asked curiously: "Second Senior Brother, what did you tell him just now, and why did you scare him away again?"

"The bear boy really can't talk, what do you mean by scaring him away?" Gu Ling rolled his eyes at him, and said very dissatisfied, "He was shy, and he ran away because he didn't want me to see him."

"Yes, yes," Ran Yu nodded like a rattle, "Then senior brother, when are we going..."

Before he finished speaking, a strange voice suddenly came from beside them——

"Remove hair braids, specialize in long hair, recycle old benches..."

The old mayor frowned, and looked back at the young men who followed them.The young men nodded at him, and then walked towards the source of the voice, Gu Ling could still hear them discussing as they walked——

"Didn't you drive this lunatic out of town a few days ago? Why is he here again?"

"Who knows, this person is crazy and talking nonsense everywhere, I don't know where he came from..."

A gray-faced figure came out from the side path. This man was wearing a tattered Taoist robe, with a string of Buddhist beads in his left hand and a dust whisk in his right hand. There were two flags on his back. He wrote a letter saying "Waste materials can be put to good use, and everything is a treasure", looking like a charlatan who works part-time to collect rags.

What surprised Gu Ling was that this person looked very young, and even though he was dressed in tatters, he could still see that this person was very handsome, especially his pair of bright as stars eyes, which made people feel very comfortable, and couldn't help it Take a few more glances.

So he took a few more glances, and suddenly felt that this person looked familiar.
