Candle [Rebirth]
Chapter 35 Shuiyue
Gu Ling looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, and before he knew how to react, he heard a low growl.
He looked up at Xiao Ning in front of him, Xiao Ning's eyes were red, he rushed into the crowd of monsters like crazy, punched and kicked, but the time and space seemed empty to him, but he couldn't touch anything: "Don't touch my brother! Let go, get out!"
But no matter how hard he tried, it was futile. Xiao Ning exhausted all kinds of methods, but he was unable to cause any substantial damage to these illusory illusions.
He could only watch helplessly as the young Gu Ling slashed his own wrist, and poured all the blood on his body to this group of greedy monsters.
"Bold monster! What are you doing!"
A loud shout interrupted the scene, Gu Ling was taken aback, and found that it was the voice of the master.The group of monsters thought they were very afraid of the visitor, seeing him intervene, they didn't stay any longer, cast a spell and ran away in despair.
Gu Ling, who threw down his body and was almost sucked dry, subconsciously hugged Xiao Ning tightly in his arms even though he was unconscious.Gu Ling didn't call out his name, but said vaguely: "Is it cold...you won't be cold if you hug me, don't...don't be afraid, I will protect you..."
The second half of the sentence was transpired in the ice and snow, and soon even the final temperature could not be found.
At that time, Gu Ling didn't seem to know that he had the pedigree of the purebred Nine Lives cat family, so he just felt in a daze that he was going to die.Xiao Ning in his arms seemed to have sensed something, and tightly grasped his skirt: "No...not cold..."
"what!!!!!!!!!"
Gu Ling saw Xiao Ning, who had grown up, kneel down in front of the two young people, hugging his head, and let out a very sad roar.
He couldn't grasp anything, and he couldn't even feel the cold, but the bloody flesh on Gu Ling's wrist hurt his eyes, Gu Ling smiled softly, and patted the head of the person in his arms: " Don't... be afraid..."
Soon there was no blood coming out from the wrist, Gu Ling hugged him tightly and curled up in the snow, giving him the last of his warmth.Xiao Ning could even see that before he died, his eyelashes were covered with ice.
what happened?
What's going on... Wasn't it the first time the two met on the day when tea was served on the Mount Sui?
Even if he lost his memory, Xiao Ning did not lose his memory... If there was such a thing, how could Xiao Ning not remember it at all?
When I was young... When I was young...
What the hell happened?
The scene began to distort, Gu Ling knew that the illusion seemed to have come to an end, he stuck his head stubbornly, wanting to see something more.The scene in front of him became more and more chaotic, and in the end only a sad and distraught voice could be heard.
"So... this is your first life..."
When Gu Ling woke up again, he found that his face was covered with tears.
I don't know if it was Xiao Ning who was staring deeply at him now, or the tears he shed unconsciously.Gu Ling frowned and wiped away the tears on his face, and said weakly, "Why are you crying?"
"Senior Brother..." Xiao Ning hugged him, and called out helplessly, as if he was terrified, and then called again, "Senior Brother, Senior Brother..."
"Don't cry..." Gu Ling reached out to wipe his tears, and the face of the person in front of him seemed to gradually overlap with the immature face in the snow.Xiao Ning hugged him desperately, buried his head in his chest, trying to restrain himself, but still couldn't help letting out a sob or two.
Gu Ling suddenly thought... since this ancient mirror can reproduce the scene of his previous life for him, then Xiao Ning... what did he see?
What did you see that made you look like this?
You don't even want your usual calmness and self-restraint?
"What did you see..." Gu Ling wiped away his tears, held his face and said, "Cough, cough..."
Xiao Ning wiped his face carelessly with the back of his hand, he didn't smile often, at this time, in order to reassure him, he insisted on showing a smile that was uglier than crying: "No...no, senior brother, you get up first..."
Gu Ling sat up with his hand, still feeling dizzy.Xiao Ning lowered his head, as if trying to suppress his restless mood: "I...I...I'm useless, I couldn't save Senior Brother just now, it was this girl who rescued us."
It was only then that Gu Ling noticed that there was a woman sitting next to the two of them. Like the two of them, the woman had a high ponytail and wore a noble and gorgeous phoenix earring on her left ear. Recipe.
Gu Ling hurriedly said: "Thank you girl for saving me, I don't know..."
The woman seemed to be young, but her gaze was extremely indifferent. When she saw Gu Ling looking over, she raised the curtain of her eyelashes, bowed her sword horizontally, and the phoenix feather on the sword was dazzling: "Realist Qihua's disciple, Qiong Nian."
Xiao Ning frowned, turned to look at Gu Ling, Gu Ling was also taken aback, and said uncertainly, "'Yu Jian Fei Hua'?"
This woman's name, it is quite an interesting thing to say.
The head of the human race in the cultivation world is naturally the royal family in the palace of Zhongdu. The royal family and the cultivation world have always been on good terms, and it can be regarded as a mutually beneficial relationship.The emperors of all dynasties often sent their children to various sects in the cultivation world to practice and study hard. As a major sect, Gu Ling has seen many royal children.
But at most, these children of the royal family have only experienced to adulthood, and then they will go down the mountain and return to the central capital, continue to live aristocratic life, inherit titles or vassals and lords.Qiongnian's real name is no longer known, only that she is the eldest daughter of the previous emperor of Zhongdu, who was conferred the title of Princess Qingping at the age of 13.The emperor's son-in-law has been lost for many years and has not been found. It is not uncommon for a woman to inherit the throne. She could be the most honorable person in the world.
——But she doesn't want it.
Qihua Daoist died in the battle of Queyang Mountain to thank guests behind closed doors, and most of his disciples dispersed. Qiong Nian was originally from the royal family of Zhongdu, so it is not uncommon for him to go back and inherit the throne.But after she returned to the Central Capital, she kowtowed and worshiped three times and nine times on the main hall, wanting to give up the position of emperor and continue to practice, forcibly continuing the lineage of Daoist Qihua.
This matter was full of troubles in the middle of the year, and her father and king finally failed to persuade her, so he had no choice but to give her the royal sword, and agreed to her request.Qiongnian sent Yujian to pick out all 32 epiphyllum flowers in the royal palace that night to thank the king for his kindness, and then floated away with the sword, entering the world alone.
In the realm of self-cultivation, she gained the reputation of "Flying Sword and Flying Flowers".
Qiong Nian nodded neither humble nor overbearing, and said: "This place is the land of 'Mirror Flowers, Water Moon' on the Island of Spiritual Wishes, and the Sifang lakes were originally the ancient mirrors of the demon clan. "
Before she finished speaking, Xiao Ning grabbed Gu Ling's arm, and the blood on his small face faded away in an instant.Gu Ling patted his hand reassuringly, and said, "Young lady, what you mean is that the mirror...isn't...couldn't it be a hallucination?"
"Of course not." Qiong Nian twitched the corners of her lips slightly, and replied, "Everything on the Island of Spiritual Wishes is only recorded by my master in the book, so I know a thing or two."
Gu Ling touched Xiao Ning's hand, and said in his mouth: "I still want to thank Miss Qiongnian... But why is the girl here?"
"Since you're here, why else?" Qiongnian pursed her lips, and tightly clenched the sword carved with phoenix feathers in her hand. Gu Ling saw a thick piece of gauze wrapped around her arm, showing some faint blood, "No need Thanks a lot, it's just a little effort."
Gu Ling supported Xiao Ning and stood up with difficulty.Seeing Xiao Ning still lost his mind, he looked like he was greatly frightened. Gu Ling sighed and asked in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, go back and tell senior brother...... Can you still hear the singing now?"
Xiao Ning came back to his senses, and nodded heavily, but just after he injected some spiritual power into the Changjue, his tone became a little more depressed: "The singing...is gone."
Just as Gu Ling was about to speak, the ground under the three of them suddenly trembled.
Qiong Nian just rescued them from Sifang Ancient Lake, so they are not far from Sifang Lake at this moment.After Gu Ling stood firm, he was surprised to find that the silver water of the square ancient lake in front of him was gradually converging, forming a tall water column in the air.
A female voice came out from the silver-white light all over the sky: "Who broke into me... the land of flowers in the mirror and moon in the water?"
The light dissipated after the lake water fell back into the lake, and the three of them saw a woman standing above the water column just now, her face was expressionless, but her voice was smiling: "Who broke into my place of mirror, water and moon?"
The light and shadow fell on her plain white face, and there was a kind of soul-stirring beauty.Gu Ling saw her face clearly, and couldn't help but turn pale with shock: "Hua Chao?"
It turned out to be Hua Chao.
Xiao Ning was as astonished as he was, but he still tried his best to hold back, holding his sword in front of Gu Ling, and whispered: "Brother, there seems to be something wrong with her."
"Hua Chao" calmly and slowly fell down from the air. She was wearing a gold-plated pomegranate skirt, and the hem of the skirt was more gorgeous than blood, but her face was pale, and her lips were red, but it was too much. Suddenly, it looks like...
Not like a living thing.
"This is a phantom," Qiong Nian who had been behind the two of them suddenly said. She took a step forward and flicked her fingers at the phantom, and the phantom turned into dots of light. She explained, "There are phantom guards set up by the left protector of the Demon Race all over the island of Spiritual Wish, so don't worry about it, but from what you two said, do you know her?"
"We have been looking for her for a long time," Gu Ling replied, "but why did her phantom appear here?"
Qiong Nian frowned slightly, and said: "Appearing here means that her soul is held in the hands of the left protector. If you want to find her, go to see the left protector."
Before the two of them spoke, Qiong Nian continued: "You can't use swords on the island of spiritual wishes. My master has recorded it in detail. It just so happens that I'm going to look for the left guardian. If you don't mind, come with me." .”
I don't know why the real Qihua knows so much about the island of spiritual wishes, but seeing Qiongnian's words and deeds, he can know that what he said is true.None of the three of them had a sword. They walked across the edge of the Sifang lake, passed a red hill, and followed the mountain path all the way north.
Strange to say, just now when the two of them passed by with their swords, they saw that there were red hills with different rules under the swords. Unexpectedly, when they passed by on foot, they discovered that there was a great scenery among the hills.The trails are criss-crossed, but they are all horizontal and vertical shapes. Every few steps, you can see a black or white oval boulder, which makes the two feel as if they are walking on a chessboard.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the two of them followed Qiong Nian through a small door under an oval black boulder.
Behind the small gate is a narrow path with twists and turns. After making several turns along the path, the road ahead suddenly opened up.Gu Ling was surprised to find that the boulder was almost hollow. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a palace in it. There are gray and black buildings everywhere, and there is a monument on the side of the road in front of them. Word Zhang Yawuclaw - "Taicang Yisu".
The inside of the boulder was completely closed, and I don't know where the light came from. After passing the stele, there was a flat stone wall facing the three of them. Knocked three times on the stone wall.
The three of them waited quietly for a while, only to hear a rough and hoarse voice coming from the void, echoing over and over again in the enclosed space: "Who is it?"
Qiongnian pondered for a moment, then softly replied: "Someone who asks."
"No one has come to make a wish for many years, how did the three of you find me?" The voice seemed to be smiling, as if it was amused, "Do you know what price you have to pay for making a deal with the demons? The law of the law has been destroyed in the world..."
"The wishing method was destroyed by my master himself, but I really want to come here." Qiongnian touched the smooth stone wall in front of him and said in a low voice.
"Oh, you're Qihua's disciple?" The ugly voice suddenly got a little excited, "I'm an old acquaintance with your master, I didn't expect his disciple to come to me one day... Ha, that's all... Tell me, what do you want?"
Qiongnian raised her head and said to the void: "I... I am looking for the whereabouts of a person. I have been searching for a person for a long time, but I can't find a trace of him. I want to know where he is."
She bit her fingertips and pressed tightly against the stone wall in front of her. The voice was silent for a while, and then she suddenly said, "You really shouldn't ask me this question..."
"Why?" Qiong Nian lost her voice, "It's impossible for you not to know that I can pay any price..."
"You ask the two people behind you, and they will know the answer to this question." The voice was amazing, "You will find him, don't worry."
Gu Ling and Xiao Ning looked at each other, and said uncertainly: "Us?"
"Yes," the voice replied with a smile, "The little girl has said her wish, how about you, come here, what do you ask for?"
"It's kind of like looking for someone," Gu Ling didn't know where the voice came from, so he said blankly to the stone wall, "We've been looking for a girl for a long time, but we saw her phantom in the ancient mirrors on the island. Miss Qiongnian said , the soul of phantom is here, so..."
"Oh?" The voice interrupted him. Although it was still rough and ugly, it suddenly brought a bit of playfulness, "What are you looking for her for?"
"It was entrusted by others." Xiao Ning replied simply and directly behind him, "We don't know why she is here, but..."
"I can return her soul to you," said the voice abruptly, "but you also know that if you ask me for a wish, you will have to pay some price. This little girl... is my old friend's apprentice, so I won't answer her questions , and there is no need to ask her for a reward, but you want to take this soul away... I have never made things difficult for others, you might as well listen to my conditions before deciding whether to take it away."
"Go ahead." Gu Ling frowned and said.
"Actually, I haven't made up my mind yet..." As if deliberately teasing them, the voice raised the volume a little, and smiled lazily, "It's better than this, I want you to make me a promise."
"promise?"
"Yes," said the voice, "I have often walked in the human world, so I may run into you again one day. At that time, I want you to fulfill your promise."
Before Gu Ling had time to speak, Xiao Ning opened his mouth first, and hurriedly said: "You are an evil heretic, if you want my senior brother to kill and set fire, will he still indulge you?"
"Murder and arson?" The voice laughed, "Murder and arson... I don't need you, I will only let you do what you can, neither violate your family rules, nor betray your own moral conscience, Don't worry. If I make any weird request, you must agree to it immediately, but such a vain promise, maybe I will forget it someday? Ordinary wish-makers will be happy when they hear my request."
Xiao Ning was still a little worried, but Gu Ling interrupted him, and quietly whispered in his ear, "Senior Brother and Senior Brother Yu have been looking for Hua Chao for so long, and finally found it. Let's take her back first before we talk... Having said that, it’s within my power, and I have nothing to fear.”
Xiao Ning tugged at his sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Why don't I make a promise to him, just in case..."
Gu Ling patted him on the back and said, "It's okay, don't need to say more."
So he raised his voice: "I promise you."
The voice did not respond for a long time, and just when several people thought that he would not respond again, he suddenly appeared: "Okay... her soul is not a rare thing to me, so I will return it to you, and you can do it yourself." Go to the lake just now, and I will send her soul there."
Gu Ling said: "Then thank you very much."
"Okay, although no one has come to make a wish for many years, I don't bother to waste time with you..." The voice said in a deep voice, "Let's go..."
The smooth stone wall in front of him seemed to be his legendary artifact "Trance", as if he felt the master's impatience, the stone wall cracked, as if he yawned, and then returned to its original state.
Qiong Nian was still a little worried: "Then the person I'm looking for..."
"You ask the two of them, the two of them must know." The voice seemed more illusory than before, and the ending sound drifted farther and farther in the air, "After you go back, put a candle on Qihua for me Fragrant..."
The three of them returned along the original road. As soon as the huge stone came out, Gu Ling couldn't help but asked: "Miss Qiongnian... I don't know who you are looking for, please tell us carefully, we are also welcome." help you find him."
Although he was at a loss as to who Qiong Nian was looking for, but hearing the meaning of that voice just now, he was sure that they must know.
Qiongnian stared blankly at the red mark between his brows, and said: "You are from the Zhongsui Mountain... That's right, I used to think that the person I was looking for was also from the Zhongsui Mountain sect."
Gu Ling was startled, and asked, "A member of the Zhongsui Mountain School?"
Qiongnian said: "I was still young when I saw him, and I only remember a little red mark between his brows. I also know that this is a characteristic of the Zhongsui Mountain School... But I once went to Zhongsui Mountain and asked about it three times. An immortal venerable and several Taoist friends on the mountain, but they said that they have never seen the person I am looking for."
At the age of 13, Qiongnian was conferred the title of Princess Qingping, and she was recognized as the most appointed person in the entire kingdom.
Shortly after she was granted the seal at the age of 13, she was sent by her father to live under the sect of Daoist Qihua in Queyang Mountain when she was still young.The brothers and sisters of the clan are often sent up the mountain to practice. This is nothing new. On the first day she went up the mountain, the real Qihua gave her the name "Qiong Nian", praising her for her excellent bones, and she will surely succeed in the future. Great weapon.
Young and frivolous, and easily possessed what everyone in the world dreamed of, the master loved it, and the masters competed to curry favor with each other. Before the age of 16, Qiong Nian always thought that he lacked everything.
Until the battle that made Queyang Mountain close its doors to thank guests a few years ago.
She still doesn't understand why such a big change happened to Queyang Mountain overnight.The master died, and the brothers and sisters from the same school were all separated. Yan Hua was seriously injured and retreated. She was knocked off the madness cliff of Queyang Mountain in the scuffle with whom she didn't know.
Madness Cliff is the highest cliff in Queyang Mountain, and there are many miasmas under the cliff.She fell off the cliff, lost the saber she was carrying, her leg was broken, and she couldn't move. The black miasma surrounded her and seemed to swallow her at any moment.
After all, she was only a 16-year-old girl. She was terrified and desperately blew the whistle on her chest.The whistle was given to them by the master, and it was transmitted between the same sect, but now... the master is dead, and although the fellow sect can hear her cry for help, but it is so dangerous under the madness cliff, who will come to save her? ?
Qiongnian stayed under the cliff for a long time.
She was seriously injured and lost a lot of blood, and she was almost desperate in the end.She was blowing the whistle that was useless at all, feeling that her eyes were blurred.The hallucination of dying was eerie in a dark space. She feebly grabbed a handful of sand and slowly closed her eyes, feeling that she would definitely die here.
until she heard voices.
When she regained consciousness, she found herself on someone's back.
The one who was carrying her seemed to be a young boy with high and disheveled ponytail and wearing a white robe. He walked with her on a dark mountain road with great difficulty, but kept humming a ditty.
"Who are you..." Qiongnian thought she was hallucinating, she murmured blankly, "Am I dead?"
"Bah, bah, what are you talking about?" The young man turned pale in shock, turned around and gave her a reproachful look, and she saw a red mark on the other's forehead and a pair of star-like eyes, "Young master accidentally fell I saw you lying there half dead when I was walking around, so I saved you."
"Save...save me?" Qiongnian repeated unconsciously, "You...where are we?"
The bottom of the cliff is full of black miasma. It is not yet night and it is not the time when the miasma is the thickest, but she remembers the records in the book. .
The boy replied: "I'm looking for the way up the mountain, hey, are you from Queyang Mountain, do you know how to go up?"
How to get up?Madness Cliff is a forbidden area in Queyang Mountain... Unless someone with spiritual power and profound spiritual power rises against the wind, there is no way to get there.
The boy looked young, if he was not injured and he was alone, he might still be able to go up.But she was seriously injured, and if he took her with him, he would definitely not be able to go up by himself, and both of them would definitely die at the bottom of the cliff.
"There's no way to go..." Qiongnian said drowsily behind him, "You put me down, and you can't summon the sword at the bottom of the cliff, so Yufeng can go up."
"What?" The young man turned pale with shock, "No wonder I failed to summon the sword just now... I can't bring you with me if I Yufeng is now, there is really no other way? Leave such a beautiful girl alone Here, I can't get over my conscience."
He found a crack in the cliff, set up a barrier, barely blocked some miasma, and then put her down from his back, and lost some spiritual power to help her heal: "Forget it, since we can't go up , I'd better hide here for a while, and wait for someone to rescue me."
"Who will come to save me..." Qiongnian was still unconscious, but she could feel the young man's gentle spiritual power pouring into her back, "Leave me alone, let's go."
"Someone will definitely come to save me," the young man replied, and at such a critical moment, I don't know how he could laugh, "Even if no one comes to save me, there is a saying... the peony flowers will die." , being a ghost is also romantic!"
After saying that, he scratched his head again: "It seems that it's wrong to say that... Forget it, don't care if it's right or not, as long as you understand it."
"You..." The words were so frivolous, but the boy didn't mean any humiliation when he said it, because he really didn't seem to know what the words meant.
Lingli broke through the stagnant blood clots, and Qiong Nian finally regained some clarity. She spit out a big mouthful of blood with a "wow", which startled the young man, and hurriedly wiped her mouth with a white robe. Bian: "Okay, okay, just spit it out...Who hurt you so badly, I don't know how to pity you."
Qiongnian finally saw his face clearly, the boy's brows were a little red, his eyes were as bright as stars, and when he smiled, there seemed to be a little bit of radiance overflowing.He seemed to be wearing ordinary clothes, just the most common white robe, with a scrawled ponytail and a stick of foxtail pinned to his ear.
He was not born very handsome, Qiong Nian has seen many people who are much prettier than him, but he is different from them, just like...
Like a little sun.
His white sleeves were already stained with her blood, Qiongnian wiped the blood from his lips, and asked in a low voice, "What's your name?"
"Hey, I should ask you that," the boy flipped his sleeves nonchalantly, put his chin in front of her and smiled, "Pretty girl, what's your name?"
"My name is... Qiongnian." Although she vomited dirty blood, she suffered serious internal injuries and was still very weak at the moment, "I am a disciple of Daoist Qihua."
"A good name, as good-looking as a person," the boy exaggeratedly exclaimed, "My...my name is..."
Before he could finish speaking, a gap was suddenly broken in the barrier he had set up just now, and scattered black miasmas escaped in immediately.He hurriedly went to mend the barrier, looked sadly at the twilight, and muttered: "It's almost dark, why didn't Master come to me..."
His sword and sachet were in Qiongnian's hand, and Qiongnian picked up his sachet. The sachet was not exquisitely made, and it didn't even have a fragrance. There was a poem embroidered with rough needlework——Life is a life , dying suddenly like flying dust.
She was still holding the sachet in a daze, so the young man mended the barrier, went back to her and sat down. Seeing that she took his things, he was not angry, so he just smiled and said, "Isn't it nice? This is me." Mother made it for me, her biggest wish is that I can be a great immortal..."
"You will," Qiong Nian said in a low voice, she looked at the sky outside, her eyes dimmed, "but I'm sorry for bringing you and me here today..."
"Ah, it's all right," the young man waved his hand generously, and seeing that she seemed to be losing consciousness again, he hurriedly picked her up and continued to send spiritual power to her, "Hey, don't sleep, wake up... I was teasing you just now, my master will definitely come to save us!"
Qiongnian yanked off the jade pendant that he had been carrying all year round, and stuffed it into his hand without any explanation: "Okay...ok...you haven't told me your name yet, if we can get out alive..."
"That's right, I haven't told you my name yet! Don't pass out!" Seeing that the transmission of spiritual power was useless, the young man couldn't help but panic, so he could only talk nonsense, "What do you want if you can go out? The little girl gave you a jade pendant." Give it to me, could it be that you have taken a fancy to me, and you want to make a promise with your body..."
Consciousness was gradually withdrawn, the boy's twittering words were blurred in her ears, and Qiong Nian felt tears falling down the corners of her eyes.
The master is gone, and the father is far away in the central capital. On weekdays, those master brothers and sisters flee for their lives like flying birds. Those who said they liked her, loved her and protected her were just promises for a while, and they forgot about it later. clean.At such a time, the one who was really willing to save her was a stranger...
At the moment before completely passing out, Qiongnian remembered that the barrier at the entrance of the cave was broken, and the overwhelming black miasma suddenly poured in, but the young man hugged her tightly and called "Master" to the entrance of the cave in great surprise.
When she woke up again, she was lying in the pavilion where she usually lived, surrounded by sisters from the Shimen, but she couldn't see the boy with a little red mark between his eyebrows.
Everything seemed to be an illusion, only the sachet she was clutching tightly in her hand was still there, and the rough linen cloth rubbed her fingers hot, as warm as a boy's embrace.
Her voice and smile was still in front of her eyes. After she recovered from her injury, she asked all the teachers in Queyang Mountain that day, but the battle was so chaotic that no one remembered such a white-clothed boy.She remembered the red marks on his brows, and he went to Zhongsui Mountain to inquire, but the three immortals all said that they had never been to Queyang Mountain on the day of the scuffle, and when they asked the disciples, they all said that no one had ever been there.
She didn't believe it, and later even borrowed the power of her father to search for it, but found nothing.For so many years, she gave up her status as a nobleman and the throne, and continued the lineage of Daoist Qihua by herself. She entered the world alone with a sword in hand, and she only wanted to do more good deeds, so that she could suddenly find that person at a certain moment in a certain year.
But going up to the poor and down to the underworld, the young man in white with a smile as warm as the sun in the black miasma, as illusory as a flower in a mirror and the moon in water, has truly become her illusion and disappeared from the world.
After hearing her words, Gu Ling rubbed the unrefined sachet in his hand, feeling very familiar.
That Guardian Zuo from the Demon Race...why are they so sure that he and Xiao Ning will know who Qiong Nian is looking for?The Battle of Queyang Mountain happened when he was 17 years old. Could it be that he lost his memory and was the person Qiong Nian was looking for?But it's impossible, she has already seen herself, if it is him, she should recognize him at a glance.
The three of them had already returned to Sifang Ancient Lake along the original road, and the left protector kept his promise. As soon as Xiao Ning approached the lake, he saw the silver-white lake water coming towards him, and sent a small red box to him. to his hand.
Xiao Ning took the box, opened it, glanced at it, and said to Gu Ling: "Brother, this is indeed the soul of Hua Chao, but she has been sealed for too long, and she is still sleeping at the moment, when we leave this place, we will find a way to wake her up." yes."
Gu Ling lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something, and ignored him for the first time.
Xiao Ning called out again in doubt: "Brother?"
Brother?
Gu Ling raised his head suddenly, looked straight at Xiao Ning, and after realizing it, he turned his head to Qiong Nian.
Ever since he was reborn, his memory was not very good, and some memories shared by the two lifetimes were vague, but Xiao Ning's voice suddenly reminded him of it!
No wonder it looks so familiar!
He had seen this sachet before!
Gu Ling remembered that he had just entered the school for only one year, and the elder brother practiced with a cold face every day, and ignored him, making him very boring all day long.
Finally, one day, the master brought another beautiful doll and said that he would accept him as a junior.
Gu Ling still remembered that the new junior brother was very fond of laughing, his eyes were full of smiles, and he was only 15 years old when he joined the school. The young man held a tea and said with a smile: "Brother, please drink tea."
The first person to call him Senior Brother...
His first Junior Brother...
Sensing that Gu Ling's eyes fell on his waist, the little boy took off the sachet from his waist, and said with a showy smile: "Brother, are you looking at this, this sachet is made by my aunt ...Aniang hopes that I will become a great immortal in the future, doing chivalrous deeds and benefiting the common people, just like a master!"
Life is sent for the rest of my life, dying suddenly like flying dust...
Today is a good banquet, the joy is hard to describe...
No wonder that Guardian Zuo is so determined, he knows who this person is.
It was his brother who had been ill for many years and rarely got out of bed, so that Xiao Ning had never met him.
Almost forgotten by everyone, his third junior brother, Ji Liangyan.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Xiao Ning just looked at Qiong Nian in a daze, and couldn't help calling out again.Only then did Gu Ling come to his senses. He looked at Qiongnian as if he had just woken up from a dream, and his tone was a little excited: "Miss Qiongnian... I remember who the person you are looking for is now!"
Qiongnian opened her eyes slightly, her lips trembled, but she didn't speak.Gu Ling knew that she couldn't believe it, so he immediately said: "Don't worry, girl, first go back to Xiahe Town with me and junior brother, and I will explain to you slowly."
Xiao Ning didn't ask any further questions, he nodded and summoned his own sword.Gu Ling followed behind him, and just after taking two steps, he thought of another question.
If that person was his third junior brother... wouldn't the person who went to save him and Qiongnian be his master?
But Qiongnian went to Zhongsui Mountain to ask so many times, why didn't the master tell her?
He suddenly remembered what Shen Qiuhe had said meaningfully to him about his life experience, and it seemed that Master knew far more things than he imagined.
He made up his mind and decided to go to the master to inquire carefully after returning to Mount Longevity... The master is recognized by the comprehension world as an exiled immortal, and he must have his own reasons for doing these things.
He looked up at Xiao Ning in front of him, Xiao Ning's eyes were red, he rushed into the crowd of monsters like crazy, punched and kicked, but the time and space seemed empty to him, but he couldn't touch anything: "Don't touch my brother! Let go, get out!"
But no matter how hard he tried, it was futile. Xiao Ning exhausted all kinds of methods, but he was unable to cause any substantial damage to these illusory illusions.
He could only watch helplessly as the young Gu Ling slashed his own wrist, and poured all the blood on his body to this group of greedy monsters.
"Bold monster! What are you doing!"
A loud shout interrupted the scene, Gu Ling was taken aback, and found that it was the voice of the master.The group of monsters thought they were very afraid of the visitor, seeing him intervene, they didn't stay any longer, cast a spell and ran away in despair.
Gu Ling, who threw down his body and was almost sucked dry, subconsciously hugged Xiao Ning tightly in his arms even though he was unconscious.Gu Ling didn't call out his name, but said vaguely: "Is it cold...you won't be cold if you hug me, don't...don't be afraid, I will protect you..."
The second half of the sentence was transpired in the ice and snow, and soon even the final temperature could not be found.
At that time, Gu Ling didn't seem to know that he had the pedigree of the purebred Nine Lives cat family, so he just felt in a daze that he was going to die.Xiao Ning in his arms seemed to have sensed something, and tightly grasped his skirt: "No...not cold..."
"what!!!!!!!!!"
Gu Ling saw Xiao Ning, who had grown up, kneel down in front of the two young people, hugging his head, and let out a very sad roar.
He couldn't grasp anything, and he couldn't even feel the cold, but the bloody flesh on Gu Ling's wrist hurt his eyes, Gu Ling smiled softly, and patted the head of the person in his arms: " Don't... be afraid..."
Soon there was no blood coming out from the wrist, Gu Ling hugged him tightly and curled up in the snow, giving him the last of his warmth.Xiao Ning could even see that before he died, his eyelashes were covered with ice.
what happened?
What's going on... Wasn't it the first time the two met on the day when tea was served on the Mount Sui?
Even if he lost his memory, Xiao Ning did not lose his memory... If there was such a thing, how could Xiao Ning not remember it at all?
When I was young... When I was young...
What the hell happened?
The scene began to distort, Gu Ling knew that the illusion seemed to have come to an end, he stuck his head stubbornly, wanting to see something more.The scene in front of him became more and more chaotic, and in the end only a sad and distraught voice could be heard.
"So... this is your first life..."
When Gu Ling woke up again, he found that his face was covered with tears.
I don't know if it was Xiao Ning who was staring deeply at him now, or the tears he shed unconsciously.Gu Ling frowned and wiped away the tears on his face, and said weakly, "Why are you crying?"
"Senior Brother..." Xiao Ning hugged him, and called out helplessly, as if he was terrified, and then called again, "Senior Brother, Senior Brother..."
"Don't cry..." Gu Ling reached out to wipe his tears, and the face of the person in front of him seemed to gradually overlap with the immature face in the snow.Xiao Ning hugged him desperately, buried his head in his chest, trying to restrain himself, but still couldn't help letting out a sob or two.
Gu Ling suddenly thought... since this ancient mirror can reproduce the scene of his previous life for him, then Xiao Ning... what did he see?
What did you see that made you look like this?
You don't even want your usual calmness and self-restraint?
"What did you see..." Gu Ling wiped away his tears, held his face and said, "Cough, cough..."
Xiao Ning wiped his face carelessly with the back of his hand, he didn't smile often, at this time, in order to reassure him, he insisted on showing a smile that was uglier than crying: "No...no, senior brother, you get up first..."
Gu Ling sat up with his hand, still feeling dizzy.Xiao Ning lowered his head, as if trying to suppress his restless mood: "I...I...I'm useless, I couldn't save Senior Brother just now, it was this girl who rescued us."
It was only then that Gu Ling noticed that there was a woman sitting next to the two of them. Like the two of them, the woman had a high ponytail and wore a noble and gorgeous phoenix earring on her left ear. Recipe.
Gu Ling hurriedly said: "Thank you girl for saving me, I don't know..."
The woman seemed to be young, but her gaze was extremely indifferent. When she saw Gu Ling looking over, she raised the curtain of her eyelashes, bowed her sword horizontally, and the phoenix feather on the sword was dazzling: "Realist Qihua's disciple, Qiong Nian."
Xiao Ning frowned, turned to look at Gu Ling, Gu Ling was also taken aback, and said uncertainly, "'Yu Jian Fei Hua'?"
This woman's name, it is quite an interesting thing to say.
The head of the human race in the cultivation world is naturally the royal family in the palace of Zhongdu. The royal family and the cultivation world have always been on good terms, and it can be regarded as a mutually beneficial relationship.The emperors of all dynasties often sent their children to various sects in the cultivation world to practice and study hard. As a major sect, Gu Ling has seen many royal children.
But at most, these children of the royal family have only experienced to adulthood, and then they will go down the mountain and return to the central capital, continue to live aristocratic life, inherit titles or vassals and lords.Qiongnian's real name is no longer known, only that she is the eldest daughter of the previous emperor of Zhongdu, who was conferred the title of Princess Qingping at the age of 13.The emperor's son-in-law has been lost for many years and has not been found. It is not uncommon for a woman to inherit the throne. She could be the most honorable person in the world.
——But she doesn't want it.
Qihua Daoist died in the battle of Queyang Mountain to thank guests behind closed doors, and most of his disciples dispersed. Qiong Nian was originally from the royal family of Zhongdu, so it is not uncommon for him to go back and inherit the throne.But after she returned to the Central Capital, she kowtowed and worshiped three times and nine times on the main hall, wanting to give up the position of emperor and continue to practice, forcibly continuing the lineage of Daoist Qihua.
This matter was full of troubles in the middle of the year, and her father and king finally failed to persuade her, so he had no choice but to give her the royal sword, and agreed to her request.Qiongnian sent Yujian to pick out all 32 epiphyllum flowers in the royal palace that night to thank the king for his kindness, and then floated away with the sword, entering the world alone.
In the realm of self-cultivation, she gained the reputation of "Flying Sword and Flying Flowers".
Qiong Nian nodded neither humble nor overbearing, and said: "This place is the land of 'Mirror Flowers, Water Moon' on the Island of Spiritual Wishes, and the Sifang lakes were originally the ancient mirrors of the demon clan. "
Before she finished speaking, Xiao Ning grabbed Gu Ling's arm, and the blood on his small face faded away in an instant.Gu Ling patted his hand reassuringly, and said, "Young lady, what you mean is that the mirror...isn't...couldn't it be a hallucination?"
"Of course not." Qiong Nian twitched the corners of her lips slightly, and replied, "Everything on the Island of Spiritual Wishes is only recorded by my master in the book, so I know a thing or two."
Gu Ling touched Xiao Ning's hand, and said in his mouth: "I still want to thank Miss Qiongnian... But why is the girl here?"
"Since you're here, why else?" Qiongnian pursed her lips, and tightly clenched the sword carved with phoenix feathers in her hand. Gu Ling saw a thick piece of gauze wrapped around her arm, showing some faint blood, "No need Thanks a lot, it's just a little effort."
Gu Ling supported Xiao Ning and stood up with difficulty.Seeing Xiao Ning still lost his mind, he looked like he was greatly frightened. Gu Ling sighed and asked in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, go back and tell senior brother...... Can you still hear the singing now?"
Xiao Ning came back to his senses, and nodded heavily, but just after he injected some spiritual power into the Changjue, his tone became a little more depressed: "The singing...is gone."
Just as Gu Ling was about to speak, the ground under the three of them suddenly trembled.
Qiong Nian just rescued them from Sifang Ancient Lake, so they are not far from Sifang Lake at this moment.After Gu Ling stood firm, he was surprised to find that the silver water of the square ancient lake in front of him was gradually converging, forming a tall water column in the air.
A female voice came out from the silver-white light all over the sky: "Who broke into me... the land of flowers in the mirror and moon in the water?"
The light dissipated after the lake water fell back into the lake, and the three of them saw a woman standing above the water column just now, her face was expressionless, but her voice was smiling: "Who broke into my place of mirror, water and moon?"
The light and shadow fell on her plain white face, and there was a kind of soul-stirring beauty.Gu Ling saw her face clearly, and couldn't help but turn pale with shock: "Hua Chao?"
It turned out to be Hua Chao.
Xiao Ning was as astonished as he was, but he still tried his best to hold back, holding his sword in front of Gu Ling, and whispered: "Brother, there seems to be something wrong with her."
"Hua Chao" calmly and slowly fell down from the air. She was wearing a gold-plated pomegranate skirt, and the hem of the skirt was more gorgeous than blood, but her face was pale, and her lips were red, but it was too much. Suddenly, it looks like...
Not like a living thing.
"This is a phantom," Qiong Nian who had been behind the two of them suddenly said. She took a step forward and flicked her fingers at the phantom, and the phantom turned into dots of light. She explained, "There are phantom guards set up by the left protector of the Demon Race all over the island of Spiritual Wish, so don't worry about it, but from what you two said, do you know her?"
"We have been looking for her for a long time," Gu Ling replied, "but why did her phantom appear here?"
Qiong Nian frowned slightly, and said: "Appearing here means that her soul is held in the hands of the left protector. If you want to find her, go to see the left protector."
Before the two of them spoke, Qiong Nian continued: "You can't use swords on the island of spiritual wishes. My master has recorded it in detail. It just so happens that I'm going to look for the left guardian. If you don't mind, come with me." .”
I don't know why the real Qihua knows so much about the island of spiritual wishes, but seeing Qiongnian's words and deeds, he can know that what he said is true.None of the three of them had a sword. They walked across the edge of the Sifang lake, passed a red hill, and followed the mountain path all the way north.
Strange to say, just now when the two of them passed by with their swords, they saw that there were red hills with different rules under the swords. Unexpectedly, when they passed by on foot, they discovered that there was a great scenery among the hills.The trails are criss-crossed, but they are all horizontal and vertical shapes. Every few steps, you can see a black or white oval boulder, which makes the two feel as if they are walking on a chessboard.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the two of them followed Qiong Nian through a small door under an oval black boulder.
Behind the small gate is a narrow path with twists and turns. After making several turns along the path, the road ahead suddenly opened up.Gu Ling was surprised to find that the boulder was almost hollow. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a palace in it. There are gray and black buildings everywhere, and there is a monument on the side of the road in front of them. Word Zhang Yawuclaw - "Taicang Yisu".
The inside of the boulder was completely closed, and I don't know where the light came from. After passing the stele, there was a flat stone wall facing the three of them. Knocked three times on the stone wall.
The three of them waited quietly for a while, only to hear a rough and hoarse voice coming from the void, echoing over and over again in the enclosed space: "Who is it?"
Qiongnian pondered for a moment, then softly replied: "Someone who asks."
"No one has come to make a wish for many years, how did the three of you find me?" The voice seemed to be smiling, as if it was amused, "Do you know what price you have to pay for making a deal with the demons? The law of the law has been destroyed in the world..."
"The wishing method was destroyed by my master himself, but I really want to come here." Qiongnian touched the smooth stone wall in front of him and said in a low voice.
"Oh, you're Qihua's disciple?" The ugly voice suddenly got a little excited, "I'm an old acquaintance with your master, I didn't expect his disciple to come to me one day... Ha, that's all... Tell me, what do you want?"
Qiongnian raised her head and said to the void: "I... I am looking for the whereabouts of a person. I have been searching for a person for a long time, but I can't find a trace of him. I want to know where he is."
She bit her fingertips and pressed tightly against the stone wall in front of her. The voice was silent for a while, and then she suddenly said, "You really shouldn't ask me this question..."
"Why?" Qiong Nian lost her voice, "It's impossible for you not to know that I can pay any price..."
"You ask the two people behind you, and they will know the answer to this question." The voice was amazing, "You will find him, don't worry."
Gu Ling and Xiao Ning looked at each other, and said uncertainly: "Us?"
"Yes," the voice replied with a smile, "The little girl has said her wish, how about you, come here, what do you ask for?"
"It's kind of like looking for someone," Gu Ling didn't know where the voice came from, so he said blankly to the stone wall, "We've been looking for a girl for a long time, but we saw her phantom in the ancient mirrors on the island. Miss Qiongnian said , the soul of phantom is here, so..."
"Oh?" The voice interrupted him. Although it was still rough and ugly, it suddenly brought a bit of playfulness, "What are you looking for her for?"
"It was entrusted by others." Xiao Ning replied simply and directly behind him, "We don't know why she is here, but..."
"I can return her soul to you," said the voice abruptly, "but you also know that if you ask me for a wish, you will have to pay some price. This little girl... is my old friend's apprentice, so I won't answer her questions , and there is no need to ask her for a reward, but you want to take this soul away... I have never made things difficult for others, you might as well listen to my conditions before deciding whether to take it away."
"Go ahead." Gu Ling frowned and said.
"Actually, I haven't made up my mind yet..." As if deliberately teasing them, the voice raised the volume a little, and smiled lazily, "It's better than this, I want you to make me a promise."
"promise?"
"Yes," said the voice, "I have often walked in the human world, so I may run into you again one day. At that time, I want you to fulfill your promise."
Before Gu Ling had time to speak, Xiao Ning opened his mouth first, and hurriedly said: "You are an evil heretic, if you want my senior brother to kill and set fire, will he still indulge you?"
"Murder and arson?" The voice laughed, "Murder and arson... I don't need you, I will only let you do what you can, neither violate your family rules, nor betray your own moral conscience, Don't worry. If I make any weird request, you must agree to it immediately, but such a vain promise, maybe I will forget it someday? Ordinary wish-makers will be happy when they hear my request."
Xiao Ning was still a little worried, but Gu Ling interrupted him, and quietly whispered in his ear, "Senior Brother and Senior Brother Yu have been looking for Hua Chao for so long, and finally found it. Let's take her back first before we talk... Having said that, it’s within my power, and I have nothing to fear.”
Xiao Ning tugged at his sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Why don't I make a promise to him, just in case..."
Gu Ling patted him on the back and said, "It's okay, don't need to say more."
So he raised his voice: "I promise you."
The voice did not respond for a long time, and just when several people thought that he would not respond again, he suddenly appeared: "Okay... her soul is not a rare thing to me, so I will return it to you, and you can do it yourself." Go to the lake just now, and I will send her soul there."
Gu Ling said: "Then thank you very much."
"Okay, although no one has come to make a wish for many years, I don't bother to waste time with you..." The voice said in a deep voice, "Let's go..."
The smooth stone wall in front of him seemed to be his legendary artifact "Trance", as if he felt the master's impatience, the stone wall cracked, as if he yawned, and then returned to its original state.
Qiong Nian was still a little worried: "Then the person I'm looking for..."
"You ask the two of them, the two of them must know." The voice seemed more illusory than before, and the ending sound drifted farther and farther in the air, "After you go back, put a candle on Qihua for me Fragrant..."
The three of them returned along the original road. As soon as the huge stone came out, Gu Ling couldn't help but asked: "Miss Qiongnian... I don't know who you are looking for, please tell us carefully, we are also welcome." help you find him."
Although he was at a loss as to who Qiong Nian was looking for, but hearing the meaning of that voice just now, he was sure that they must know.
Qiongnian stared blankly at the red mark between his brows, and said: "You are from the Zhongsui Mountain... That's right, I used to think that the person I was looking for was also from the Zhongsui Mountain sect."
Gu Ling was startled, and asked, "A member of the Zhongsui Mountain School?"
Qiongnian said: "I was still young when I saw him, and I only remember a little red mark between his brows. I also know that this is a characteristic of the Zhongsui Mountain School... But I once went to Zhongsui Mountain and asked about it three times. An immortal venerable and several Taoist friends on the mountain, but they said that they have never seen the person I am looking for."
At the age of 13, Qiongnian was conferred the title of Princess Qingping, and she was recognized as the most appointed person in the entire kingdom.
Shortly after she was granted the seal at the age of 13, she was sent by her father to live under the sect of Daoist Qihua in Queyang Mountain when she was still young.The brothers and sisters of the clan are often sent up the mountain to practice. This is nothing new. On the first day she went up the mountain, the real Qihua gave her the name "Qiong Nian", praising her for her excellent bones, and she will surely succeed in the future. Great weapon.
Young and frivolous, and easily possessed what everyone in the world dreamed of, the master loved it, and the masters competed to curry favor with each other. Before the age of 16, Qiong Nian always thought that he lacked everything.
Until the battle that made Queyang Mountain close its doors to thank guests a few years ago.
She still doesn't understand why such a big change happened to Queyang Mountain overnight.The master died, and the brothers and sisters from the same school were all separated. Yan Hua was seriously injured and retreated. She was knocked off the madness cliff of Queyang Mountain in the scuffle with whom she didn't know.
Madness Cliff is the highest cliff in Queyang Mountain, and there are many miasmas under the cliff.She fell off the cliff, lost the saber she was carrying, her leg was broken, and she couldn't move. The black miasma surrounded her and seemed to swallow her at any moment.
After all, she was only a 16-year-old girl. She was terrified and desperately blew the whistle on her chest.The whistle was given to them by the master, and it was transmitted between the same sect, but now... the master is dead, and although the fellow sect can hear her cry for help, but it is so dangerous under the madness cliff, who will come to save her? ?
Qiongnian stayed under the cliff for a long time.
She was seriously injured and lost a lot of blood, and she was almost desperate in the end.She was blowing the whistle that was useless at all, feeling that her eyes were blurred.The hallucination of dying was eerie in a dark space. She feebly grabbed a handful of sand and slowly closed her eyes, feeling that she would definitely die here.
until she heard voices.
When she regained consciousness, she found herself on someone's back.
The one who was carrying her seemed to be a young boy with high and disheveled ponytail and wearing a white robe. He walked with her on a dark mountain road with great difficulty, but kept humming a ditty.
"Who are you..." Qiongnian thought she was hallucinating, she murmured blankly, "Am I dead?"
"Bah, bah, what are you talking about?" The young man turned pale in shock, turned around and gave her a reproachful look, and she saw a red mark on the other's forehead and a pair of star-like eyes, "Young master accidentally fell I saw you lying there half dead when I was walking around, so I saved you."
"Save...save me?" Qiongnian repeated unconsciously, "You...where are we?"
The bottom of the cliff is full of black miasma. It is not yet night and it is not the time when the miasma is the thickest, but she remembers the records in the book. .
The boy replied: "I'm looking for the way up the mountain, hey, are you from Queyang Mountain, do you know how to go up?"
How to get up?Madness Cliff is a forbidden area in Queyang Mountain... Unless someone with spiritual power and profound spiritual power rises against the wind, there is no way to get there.
The boy looked young, if he was not injured and he was alone, he might still be able to go up.But she was seriously injured, and if he took her with him, he would definitely not be able to go up by himself, and both of them would definitely die at the bottom of the cliff.
"There's no way to go..." Qiongnian said drowsily behind him, "You put me down, and you can't summon the sword at the bottom of the cliff, so Yufeng can go up."
"What?" The young man turned pale with shock, "No wonder I failed to summon the sword just now... I can't bring you with me if I Yufeng is now, there is really no other way? Leave such a beautiful girl alone Here, I can't get over my conscience."
He found a crack in the cliff, set up a barrier, barely blocked some miasma, and then put her down from his back, and lost some spiritual power to help her heal: "Forget it, since we can't go up , I'd better hide here for a while, and wait for someone to rescue me."
"Who will come to save me..." Qiongnian was still unconscious, but she could feel the young man's gentle spiritual power pouring into her back, "Leave me alone, let's go."
"Someone will definitely come to save me," the young man replied, and at such a critical moment, I don't know how he could laugh, "Even if no one comes to save me, there is a saying... the peony flowers will die." , being a ghost is also romantic!"
After saying that, he scratched his head again: "It seems that it's wrong to say that... Forget it, don't care if it's right or not, as long as you understand it."
"You..." The words were so frivolous, but the boy didn't mean any humiliation when he said it, because he really didn't seem to know what the words meant.
Lingli broke through the stagnant blood clots, and Qiong Nian finally regained some clarity. She spit out a big mouthful of blood with a "wow", which startled the young man, and hurriedly wiped her mouth with a white robe. Bian: "Okay, okay, just spit it out...Who hurt you so badly, I don't know how to pity you."
Qiongnian finally saw his face clearly, the boy's brows were a little red, his eyes were as bright as stars, and when he smiled, there seemed to be a little bit of radiance overflowing.He seemed to be wearing ordinary clothes, just the most common white robe, with a scrawled ponytail and a stick of foxtail pinned to his ear.
He was not born very handsome, Qiong Nian has seen many people who are much prettier than him, but he is different from them, just like...
Like a little sun.
His white sleeves were already stained with her blood, Qiongnian wiped the blood from his lips, and asked in a low voice, "What's your name?"
"Hey, I should ask you that," the boy flipped his sleeves nonchalantly, put his chin in front of her and smiled, "Pretty girl, what's your name?"
"My name is... Qiongnian." Although she vomited dirty blood, she suffered serious internal injuries and was still very weak at the moment, "I am a disciple of Daoist Qihua."
"A good name, as good-looking as a person," the boy exaggeratedly exclaimed, "My...my name is..."
Before he could finish speaking, a gap was suddenly broken in the barrier he had set up just now, and scattered black miasmas escaped in immediately.He hurriedly went to mend the barrier, looked sadly at the twilight, and muttered: "It's almost dark, why didn't Master come to me..."
His sword and sachet were in Qiongnian's hand, and Qiongnian picked up his sachet. The sachet was not exquisitely made, and it didn't even have a fragrance. There was a poem embroidered with rough needlework——Life is a life , dying suddenly like flying dust.
She was still holding the sachet in a daze, so the young man mended the barrier, went back to her and sat down. Seeing that she took his things, he was not angry, so he just smiled and said, "Isn't it nice? This is me." Mother made it for me, her biggest wish is that I can be a great immortal..."
"You will," Qiong Nian said in a low voice, she looked at the sky outside, her eyes dimmed, "but I'm sorry for bringing you and me here today..."
"Ah, it's all right," the young man waved his hand generously, and seeing that she seemed to be losing consciousness again, he hurriedly picked her up and continued to send spiritual power to her, "Hey, don't sleep, wake up... I was teasing you just now, my master will definitely come to save us!"
Qiongnian yanked off the jade pendant that he had been carrying all year round, and stuffed it into his hand without any explanation: "Okay...ok...you haven't told me your name yet, if we can get out alive..."
"That's right, I haven't told you my name yet! Don't pass out!" Seeing that the transmission of spiritual power was useless, the young man couldn't help but panic, so he could only talk nonsense, "What do you want if you can go out? The little girl gave you a jade pendant." Give it to me, could it be that you have taken a fancy to me, and you want to make a promise with your body..."
Consciousness was gradually withdrawn, the boy's twittering words were blurred in her ears, and Qiong Nian felt tears falling down the corners of her eyes.
The master is gone, and the father is far away in the central capital. On weekdays, those master brothers and sisters flee for their lives like flying birds. Those who said they liked her, loved her and protected her were just promises for a while, and they forgot about it later. clean.At such a time, the one who was really willing to save her was a stranger...
At the moment before completely passing out, Qiongnian remembered that the barrier at the entrance of the cave was broken, and the overwhelming black miasma suddenly poured in, but the young man hugged her tightly and called "Master" to the entrance of the cave in great surprise.
When she woke up again, she was lying in the pavilion where she usually lived, surrounded by sisters from the Shimen, but she couldn't see the boy with a little red mark between his eyebrows.
Everything seemed to be an illusion, only the sachet she was clutching tightly in her hand was still there, and the rough linen cloth rubbed her fingers hot, as warm as a boy's embrace.
Her voice and smile was still in front of her eyes. After she recovered from her injury, she asked all the teachers in Queyang Mountain that day, but the battle was so chaotic that no one remembered such a white-clothed boy.She remembered the red marks on his brows, and he went to Zhongsui Mountain to inquire, but the three immortals all said that they had never been to Queyang Mountain on the day of the scuffle, and when they asked the disciples, they all said that no one had ever been there.
She didn't believe it, and later even borrowed the power of her father to search for it, but found nothing.For so many years, she gave up her status as a nobleman and the throne, and continued the lineage of Daoist Qihua by herself. She entered the world alone with a sword in hand, and she only wanted to do more good deeds, so that she could suddenly find that person at a certain moment in a certain year.
But going up to the poor and down to the underworld, the young man in white with a smile as warm as the sun in the black miasma, as illusory as a flower in a mirror and the moon in water, has truly become her illusion and disappeared from the world.
After hearing her words, Gu Ling rubbed the unrefined sachet in his hand, feeling very familiar.
That Guardian Zuo from the Demon Race...why are they so sure that he and Xiao Ning will know who Qiong Nian is looking for?The Battle of Queyang Mountain happened when he was 17 years old. Could it be that he lost his memory and was the person Qiong Nian was looking for?But it's impossible, she has already seen herself, if it is him, she should recognize him at a glance.
The three of them had already returned to Sifang Ancient Lake along the original road, and the left protector kept his promise. As soon as Xiao Ning approached the lake, he saw the silver-white lake water coming towards him, and sent a small red box to him. to his hand.
Xiao Ning took the box, opened it, glanced at it, and said to Gu Ling: "Brother, this is indeed the soul of Hua Chao, but she has been sealed for too long, and she is still sleeping at the moment, when we leave this place, we will find a way to wake her up." yes."
Gu Ling lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something, and ignored him for the first time.
Xiao Ning called out again in doubt: "Brother?"
Brother?
Gu Ling raised his head suddenly, looked straight at Xiao Ning, and after realizing it, he turned his head to Qiong Nian.
Ever since he was reborn, his memory was not very good, and some memories shared by the two lifetimes were vague, but Xiao Ning's voice suddenly reminded him of it!
No wonder it looks so familiar!
He had seen this sachet before!
Gu Ling remembered that he had just entered the school for only one year, and the elder brother practiced with a cold face every day, and ignored him, making him very boring all day long.
Finally, one day, the master brought another beautiful doll and said that he would accept him as a junior.
Gu Ling still remembered that the new junior brother was very fond of laughing, his eyes were full of smiles, and he was only 15 years old when he joined the school. The young man held a tea and said with a smile: "Brother, please drink tea."
The first person to call him Senior Brother...
His first Junior Brother...
Sensing that Gu Ling's eyes fell on his waist, the little boy took off the sachet from his waist, and said with a showy smile: "Brother, are you looking at this, this sachet is made by my aunt ...Aniang hopes that I will become a great immortal in the future, doing chivalrous deeds and benefiting the common people, just like a master!"
Life is sent for the rest of my life, dying suddenly like flying dust...
Today is a good banquet, the joy is hard to describe...
No wonder that Guardian Zuo is so determined, he knows who this person is.
It was his brother who had been ill for many years and rarely got out of bed, so that Xiao Ning had never met him.
Almost forgotten by everyone, his third junior brother, Ji Liangyan.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Xiao Ning just looked at Qiong Nian in a daze, and couldn't help calling out again.Only then did Gu Ling come to his senses. He looked at Qiongnian as if he had just woken up from a dream, and his tone was a little excited: "Miss Qiongnian... I remember who the person you are looking for is now!"
Qiongnian opened her eyes slightly, her lips trembled, but she didn't speak.Gu Ling knew that she couldn't believe it, so he immediately said: "Don't worry, girl, first go back to Xiahe Town with me and junior brother, and I will explain to you slowly."
Xiao Ning didn't ask any further questions, he nodded and summoned his own sword.Gu Ling followed behind him, and just after taking two steps, he thought of another question.
If that person was his third junior brother... wouldn't the person who went to save him and Qiongnian be his master?
But Qiongnian went to Zhongsui Mountain to ask so many times, why didn't the master tell her?
He suddenly remembered what Shen Qiuhe had said meaningfully to him about his life experience, and it seemed that Master knew far more things than he imagined.
He made up his mind and decided to go to the master to inquire carefully after returning to Mount Longevity... The master is recognized by the comprehension world as an exiled immortal, and he must have his own reasons for doing these things.
