Candle [Rebirth]

Having said that, Gu Ling came to Qingyu Pond early in the morning on the second day and asked Hua Chao to take him to Fengdu Ghost Town.

Before meeting Jiang Fuyi, Hua Chao was confined to the small temple in Xiahe Town, but Fengdu Ghost City can summon all the ghosts in the world. Both ghost towns many times.

Ghosts with bright bones are very rare, and the leader of the ghost clan has spent many times going to Fengdu to find a small official, which can be regarded as avoiding the suffering of reincarnation.Hua Chao and Zhao Wu also readily agreed, and are planning to find time to say goodbye to Ran Yu.

"So how do we get there?" Gu Ling asked standing by the green jade pond, "Miss Hua Chao is still in the form of a soul, so I want to find a carrier for you..."

"No need," Hua Chao smiled and beckoned him to sit down by the sapphire pond, "close your eyes."

Gu Ling did as he said, and when he opened his eyes again, he was surprised to find that he was no longer beside the Qingyu Pond, but came to a dimly lit city gate.

Zhaowu and Huachao were at his side. Seeing his surprise, Huachao explained: "Fengdu is not a city in the world, it was set up by the ghost clan among the ghosts and gods, and there are other races who come to Fengdu to pray— ——If the living want to go down to the underworld governed by the ghost clan, they must pass through it."

"So that's it," Gu Ling nodded, looked around curiously, and sighed, "This city doesn't look like a ghost city. Compared with the Youcheng city I went to before, it's a little more angry."

The three of them walked along the main road to the city. Although the light was dim, the city was still very lively, with shopkeepers, performers, stalls, and all kinds of people shouting on the side of the road.There are also quite a few pedestrians passing by, no different from the human world, and even very prosperous. Gu Ling looked at the scenery and asked curiously: "Are the rules of the ghost race the same as in the human world?"

"Ghosts are all changed after death, so most of them are the same," Hua Chaodao, "but Fengdu, most of the ghosts living in Fengdu can't go to hell—they are orphans who died unjustly." Ghosts, they don't realize that they are dead, so they imitate the way they were when they were alive, and after a long time, they look no different from the human world."

Gu Ling nodded and said, "No wonder."

A man on a tall horse was facing him, shaking his head and reciting some poems. Hua Chao pulled Gu Ling to the side of the road and said, "Be careful, don't bump into them—the unjustly dead souls have great grievances. You are stubborn, if you provoke them, they will have to pester you."

Zhao Wudao: "Let's go through here quickly and go directly to find Lord Zhangshu."

The person in charge of the books in Fengdu was originally one of a group of ghost messengers set up at the entrance of the underworld. Some of these ghost messengers are in charge of the book of life and death, and some of them are in charge of the book of marriage.There are many ghosts, or other tribes who have been crossed into Fengdu to look for him, and pay some price in exchange for the news they want.

There is a large hall in the center of Fengdu. As soon as he walked into the hall, there was a smell of fishy smell. Gu Ling frowned, but when he turned his head, he found that there were large cauldrons around a person's height. On top of the cauldron, someone stood While stirring something, someone was cleaning the flat, human-skin-like thing hanging in front of the pot.

So he casually asked: "What is this cooking?"

Hua Chao replied without turning his head: "I'm cooking Mengpo soup. The daily demand in the underworld is too large, and the place is too small, so I have to borrow this place to cook soup."

As she walked forward with ease, she stretched out her hand and pointed: "The souls hanging in front of this are all incomplete souls, and they won't be able to make up for a while, so we can only boil them together and reshape the souls. So we I really want to thank you and Ran Xianjun, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid the two of us will have to be thrown here to boil together after breaking the seal."

As she spoke, she even turned her head and made a face at Gu Ling, but her character was completely different from that of Jiang Chun.Gu Ling shook his head helplessly, just as he was about to say something, he saw Zhaowu and Huachao bowed to a high step ahead: "My lord."

He originally thought that the bookkeeper was an old man, and even if he wasn't an old man, he must be a mysterious figure like Jiuyin. Unexpectedly, after a while, a child who looked no more than seven or eight years old hurried down from the steps, With a smile on his face, he helped Huachao and Zhaowu: "Beautiful sister, you are here again? How are you doing? How are you doing? When will you be able to come? I really lack people here..."

Having said that, he saw that there were people behind the two of them, so he couldn't help squinting his eyes. Just as Gu Ling wanted to salute him, he heard him laughing and said: "Hey, I thought that the Nine Lives cat clan has no heirs in the human world." Well, now I actually met a living one."

Gu Ling paused, but he didn't know what to say, so he heard the child run up to him, and said with a smile: "Hey, I said kitten, you are not young anymore, do you have any children? Can you give me a child if you have any?" Come and play with me for two days, I'm good at babysitting! I played with a kitten in your clan many years ago, and I can't remember the feeling of it..."

Gu Ling replied in embarrassment: "Not yet married, so naturally there is no child."

"Ah, that's a pity," the bookkeeper curled his lips and replied very unhappy, "Okay, today you want them to bring you here, what do you want to investigate? Let me declare first, I will investigate here, but It’s not free, you have to be prepared.”

"I think..." Gu Ling nodded, and said, "Check out the backgrounds of the two, who their parents are, and the memories of when they were young. Just tell me what you want."

"It's easy to say, who do you want to investigate?" Master Zhang Shu stretched out his left hand in the air, and a book slowly appeared with aura, "My family does not record the life and death of the gods, other than that, we have everything we need."

"One is me," Gu Ling's face was reflected softly by the book that emerged from the void, "The other is me... the current venerable of the Demon Race, Xiao Ning."

The bookkeeper mastered the formula with ease, and the book was flipping through the pages quickly in the air. There was a sudden pause, and he reached out to take the book down, and looked at it with interest: " Ah, this is Xiao Ning's... Fuck, it's wonderful, this kind of background..."

He spoke happily and vividly, as if he was deliberately trying to whet someone's appetite. After reading it briefly, he closed the book and mobilized his spiritual energy to search again.

The strange thing is that this search was not as smooth as the last time. I read the book twice from beginning to end, but there was no tendency to stop.Master Zhang was very surprised, reached out his hand to take it off, and said to himself naturally: "It's strange, how could it not be there?"

He closed the book with a "snap", and seemed to feel that he was a little embarrassed, so he said seriously: "Uh, that, I may have to look it up carefully, as you know, there are so many people from the Six Realms, and the records are detailed. It's possible that you won't find it for a while, but give me some time, and I'll definitely find it, this is a big project... Cough, speaking of which, little cat, why don't we talk about the price first."

Gu Ling said: "Okay."

Master Zhangshu became happy again, he stretched out his left hand, and the abacus was clattering in the air: "This life experience is not an ordinary life experience, I have not seen such a life experience for at least ten years, don't you? There's a big price to pay, let me see..."

He suddenly jumped down the steps, turned around Gu Ling, and sniffed carefully as he turned: "You smell delicious... no, I mean... your race, even if you are in the world of cultivation and Both worlds of demons and monsters should be very popular."

Thinking about the past, Gu Ling nodded and said, "That's right, from childhood to adulthood, everyone I met seemed to want to drink my blood."

Master Zhang rubbed his hands excitedly, as if realizing that this was inappropriate, he said again: "Although ghosts strictly prohibit blood-sucking to increase cultivation, it doesn't matter if it happens occasionally, or... you can send your blood to me." Give me a drop?"

Is this a big price?

Gu Ling couldn't laugh or cry, fearing that he would go back on his word, he responded straight away: "Okay."

"Wait, you don't know, a drop of blood was taken away by him..." Hua Chao interrupted suddenly, and seemed to remember that his blood can drive souls, then turned his head again, "My lord, there is something matter……"

"Beautiful sister, don't talk yet!" The bookkeeper seemed to be afraid that he would go back on his word, so he made a contract-like thing in the air with a smile, took his hand and pressed it lightly, "Okay, it's done!" !"

He seemed very happy, and with a wave of his sleeves, he threw Xiao Ning's records in front of him: "Okay, okay, I'll show you one person's record first, and another person's record, we'll talk about it later."

Gu Ling stretched out his hand, trying to touch the paper that recorded Xiao Ning's life experience in the void, but felt that the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

...It turns out that the records of the ghost clan are also like this, and the three-dimensional surround view is good.

He first saw a woman.

At first glance, this woman is Xiao Ning's mother, she looks very similar to him, with deep eyebrows, high nose bridge, and every stroke of the face, as if cut by a knife and axe, it is as deep and moving.

Gu Ling remembered that countless people had told him that Xiao Ning had the blood of the demon clan's "Datian saintess" in his body, and his mother was probably the demon clan's "Datian saintess".

The saint wore a long, black robe, with a string of sparkling red crystals on her forehead, and her long hair was braided and hung down from her sides.Her eyes also seemed to be a little bloody red, and she wore a string of the same crystals on her chest. Just standing on the holy steps, she had an urge to kneel down.

The fact is also the same. A group of Demon Race Cultists under the long steps knelt down, only the young venerable who stood at the front did not kneel. The congregation raised their eyebrows indifferently at the saint standing on the steps.

The hand of the saint holding the torch suddenly trembled.

Gu Ling almost suddenly realized that it was no wonder that after Xiao Ning returned to the Demon Race, he was able to ascend to the position of Venerable in only two years, and he was able to shock everyone in the Demon Race. His father is also the venerable of the Demon Race.

But the devils have always had names and surnames... He has never seen this person standing at the bottom of the steps in the records.

Between the opening and closing of the eyes is another scene. In the dark demon harem, the young venerable is sitting on the throne with the saint in his arms. There is a red light shining between the eyes: "If it is really impossible, follow me!" Let's go together, what kind of venerable Laoshizi, what kind of saintly daughter of Laoshizi. You and I are in love with each other, but those monsters insist on giving you this saint, what is the reason?"

The saint stretched out her hand to caress his handsome cheek, and said softly: "That's fine, I'm afraid they won't let us go...I'm on good terms with the current patriarch of the Yaozu, you know..."

The demon turned his head and asked, "Know what?"

"The demon clan is now divided into fragments, and various forces are eyeing each other. They are all waiting to be gathered to attack Chang'an on July [-]th." Ling encouraged people from the two clans and had many loyal supporters, but the current patriarch of the Yao clan is unwilling to get involved in this war."

Mozun sneered, and said disdainfully: "Shi Ling really has a good mouth, and the group of demons are too overwhelmed. Lingzhen is still alive, even if he is seriously injured and retreats, how can he sit idly by? Reason. The harmony of yin and yang has been a truth since ancient times, and the two races of demons and demons want to annex the human world, it is really a dream."

The saint pondered and said: "Shi Ling is powerful, so it is not impossible..."

"It's absolutely impossible," the Demon Lord interrupted her, and said, "Which of the wars provoked by the two clans of monsters and demons has been successful since ancient times? Besides, what is the benefit of annexing the human world? There is only one god left in the world. Heavenly Dao will not just sit idly by, if they continue like this, they will definitely be punished by heaven."

"but……"

He suddenly stopped, and then whispered: "But all this has nothing to do with us, you take good care of your baby, we will find a time when the demons are in turmoil, and then go, don't get involved in these trivial matters. No matter what the outcome is , it’s God’s will.”

The two really picked a good time to withdraw from the demon clan and never went back.

It was a big joke that the demon venerable and the saint fled at the same time. The "Shi Ling" they said was furious, and it seemed that they had passed down an order to arrest them and bring them back.

On the way to escape, the holy girl gave birth to a son.

Xiao Ning...

Looking at the unopened eyes of the newborn child, Gu Ling felt unbearable for a while.

At that time, there was turmoil, and the holy girl was weak and unable to go on the road after giving birth, so the two went to find the patriarch of the monster clan that the holy girl said she had made friends with, and asked her to give her some protection.

In this messy record, Gu Ling saw his mother's face.

It turned out that the mother was the patriarch of the demon clan at that time.

No wonder even during the final parting, his mother asked him to take good care of Xiao Ning, the son of an old man, he promises a lot, even though his mother took them into exile alone, she never abandoned him.

The battle in Chang'an was about to break out, and there was a period of time in the records that was fleeting. Until the eve of the final battle, Gu Ling saw the saint and the demon were found by the demons on the edge of a cliff, and the moonlight was extremely dim among the clouds.

"Xiao Yang, you had the opportunity to become the greatest venerable in the entire history of the demon clan," he heard a voice in the dim moonlight, with strong penetrating power, like a call from a god, "but why did you How about giving up this supreme glory and choosing to leave the place where you were born and raised with a woman?"

Xiao Yang...

The name is so familiar.

I couldn't remember where I saw it for a while, Gu Ling frowned and thought, but it must be something I looked at recently.

The young Mozun sneered, he seemed to be injured, and there was a bright bloodstain on his front: "You, you...you are all crazy, why should I join forces with you? Do you know what kind of price you have to pay for opening the forbidden technique?" , Heaven will punish you, and let the twelve continents of the world be destroyed together with you!"

"Stupid! You would believe such absurd prophecies," the person who spoke must be the "Shi Ling", the person who was revered as the co-lord of demons in the Hunyuan era. This person is extremely mysterious and has never been left in the history books. One stroke, "Xiao Yang, take your woman and go back with me, the ancestor will forgive your stupid behavior, and give you blessings because of your behavior..."

"Bah!" It was Xiao Yang's indifferent voice that answered him, "Even if you kill me here today, I will never join forces with sinners from the demon world."

The "Shi Ling" finally came out from the crowd, his body was pitch black, like a dark night Shura, he was not angry, and his voice sounded very calm: "I am reluctant to kill you and the saint, but your children— —”

He dragged out his voice meaningfully, Xiao Yang's complexion suddenly changed: "Can you find him?"

"Hahaha..." Shi Ling chuckled, and a crow flew by in a panic in the distance, "There is nothing in the world that I can't find. Xiao Yang, you have the purest demonic blood." , if you follow me, you will definitely be the master of the Six Realms..."

While he was speaking, a puff of red smoke fluttered from between his cuffs, and inadvertently fell into Xiao Yang's eyes. Gu Ling was surprised to see that his eyes turned into Xiao Ning's eyes in an instant. So-so.

Shame!

Back then he was actually using evil spirits!

The young Mozun followed him as if possessed by a demon, completely ignoring the calls of the people behind him. Shi Ling turned his head, showing a sinister smile, and made a gesture of raising a knife and dropping it.Not long after, he heard his subordinates coming to report: "The saint jumped off the cliff and committed suicide."

Gu Ling couldn't bear to look at Xiao Yang's almost unmoving face, and secretly sighed that the evil spirit was really so heavy, it could be so deceptive, but in the next moment, he clearly saw a flash in the eyes of the demon king Tears.

Then there was a scuffle in Gu Chang'an.

The person standing high above the clouds is probably the legendary God Lingzhen. Under the blanket of white light, he couldn't see his face clearly. Gu Ling only saw him holding his left hand high and reciting misty old sayings. But the old saying is also familiar, it is the words of killing souls that Zuo Wanshan once read.

He saw Jiang Fuyi and the disciples beside him who looked the same as now, and saw the young faces of the Four Immortals of Zhongsui Mountain. The war lasted for a long time, and everyone was almost exhausted.The two demon clans have been preparing for this battle for a long time, and it seems that they want to fight them forever.

Xiao Yang was holding a long red sword, with no expression on his face, Gu Ling saw him standing at the forefront of the two monster clans, approaching slowly and slowly.Shi Ling let out a deep humming sound behind him, the final battle between the two clans of monsters was tied between his sword.

Gu Ling seems to have seen in ancient books that the two clans of monsters gathered their strength to annex the entire cultivation world and the human world, but there was still a true god alive at that time, and his plan would fail if he blocked it.So Shi Ling and them gathered the power of the whole clan in one sword. Only the power of this sword can kill the gods and destroy the sect.

And Xiao Yang was their carefully selected sword bearer.

No wonder they have to chase him back from thousands of miles away. Only the purest demon blood can carry this sword.

Gu Ling watched Xiao Yang go up to the sky step by step with the sword in his hand, and the Lingzhen God stood there silently in the white light, as if he didn't care at all.

Red light collides with white light!

At the critical moment, Xiao Yang suddenly turned around, exhausted all his strength, and slashed down the sky-swallowing sword towards the people of the two clans of monsters behind him.

Shi Ling turned pale with fright, and it was too late to back off, so he could only forcefully confront him, the two confronted each other in a messy battlefield, refusing to budge.

No one knew when the evil spirit lost its effect and why Xiao Yang would suddenly rebel.

At this time, the God above the clouds suddenly recited the spell again, and all the monsters suddenly discovered that under the power of Xiao Yang's slashed sword just now, a deep, black hole suddenly appeared on the ground, and he Now it is forcing them into this hole.

"The sky is in the sky, and the gods advocate—"

"The day is like daylight, the moon is like nighttime."

"Grace from the Nine Desolations, bestow Er Chenliang."

Among the flying sand and walking stones, it seems that everyone can only see the face of the god without any emotion.

"The soul is not hesitant--"

"Be punished forever!"

Under such old sayings, Xiao Yang suddenly pushed Shi Ling towards the entrance of the cave with his sword, and shouted violently behind him: "It's now, hurry up!"

The god fell from the clouds. For some reason, Gu Ling still couldn't see his face clearly. He only felt that he sighed with infinite compassion and chanted some incantations in a low voice. The entire hole.

"Sewing soul—"

Using his body as a blade, God Lingzhen burst out with great power, and a flood poured out from the entrance of the cave, rumbling and forming a long dark stream around it.

Everything is silent.

everything is over.

More than half of the Yaomo people entered the cave, and now the rest are also lost, and soon scattered away.

Shi Ling is gone.

The Demon Lord is gone.

Even God is gone.

There was only one glowing red spiritual sword left on the scorched land. After an unknown amount of time, he picked up the sword with both hands, and Gu Ling saw his mother's eyes glistening with tears.

That sword...is actually Bingzhu.

I don't know when it started, Shangshen and Mozun jointly set up a trap, in order to force the demon clansmen who have been harming the world for more than ten years into the soul-stitching hole, and seal them forever, so that they will never have the chance to do harm to the world again.

For this reason, God even sacrificed himself to the world.

Gu Ling closed his eyes tightly, and finally remembered where he had seen the name Xiao Yang—the final battle in Chang'an, the venerable Xiao Yang fought with Shi Ling, turned his back before leaving, and entered the seam soul together, and the god sealed him After all, the battle is over.

It is so, it is so!

Even if Xiao Ning wanted to cooperate with the two clans of monsters and open the soul-sealing hole like he did back then, it was not for anything else, he actually wanted to save his father.

Gu Ling knew that he had been taciturn since he was a child, which had a lot to do with his lack of father and mother. Even in the days to come, he had him, his master, and his brothers from the same family. Deep down in his heart, he still loved his family. With great longing.

But how can...

Before he finished thinking about it, he was abruptly pulled out of the illusion, and Master Zhang looked at him with an unhappy face, and said, "Okay, the record was given to you alone, if you want to read another Humans, you should pay some first."

Gu Ling asked with a cold face: "Did you find out my life experience?"

"No," the bookkeeper replied honestly, "You have to pay me first before I can find it for you. Do you know how much physical work it is for you to find this? I can't get up enough energy to search for you carefully... Your life experience can be said to be very difficult to find..."

With a cold face, Gu Ling bit the fingertip he had bitten off last night, which was not yet fully healed, and a drop of blood dripped out. The palm master rushed over greedily, and before the drop of blood was relieved, he was caught in the air. The surging ice-blue spiritual power suppressed him kneeling on the ground, unable to move.

"You... who are you?" The master palm raised his head and exclaimed as if he had seen something scarier than a ghost, "Impossible, this is impossible..."

Hua Chao said helplessly at the side: "I just wanted to tell you, I think there is something wrong with his blood, it seems to be able to drive the soul, but you just don't listen to me, look at it now, isn't it..."

"Expelling ghosts..." the palm master murmured, his face suddenly changed.

The next one, Gu Ling and Hua Chaozhao, five or three people heard a sharp voice coming from their heads, as if they were about to penetrate the two forms: "Under Fengdu, ten city gates will be closed immediately, quickly—"

The space distorted for a while, and when Gu Ling opened his eyes again, he found that he had returned to the green jade pond. Hua Chao stood in front of him with his eyes closed, as if trying hard to return to Fengdu, but it was of no avail.

"Strange, why did he close my connection with Fengdu for a short time..."

Gu Ling got up from the ground and whispered: "It doesn't matter that much."

The author has something to say: This time it’s true and I almost didn’t finish it
