Candle [Rebirth]

Dongyang Ran's family can be regarded as a big sect in the cultivation world. In recent years, they have often exorcised evil spirits for ordinary people for no reward.Ran Zhuo, as the son of Ran's eldest son, is recognized as the next head of the family. He is generous and dignified, but he has no pretensions and has good spiritual talent, so he is quite famous in Dongyang generation.

Ran Zhuo wore a special gray gown made by the Ran family, held a sword in his left hand, and bowed solemnly to Xiao Ning.Xiao Ning held his long sword and quickly returned a salute. Ran Yu said "hey" beside Gu Ling, and said with a smile: "Big Brother, Ninth Junior Brother, don't give in to each other, I have to watch it for fun." become."

Xiao Ning glanced back, his gaze passed over to Gu Ling who was sitting in front of Ran Yu, a slight smile flashed in his eyes, but he didn't show the slightest bit on his face, he just said: "I will do my best."

Ran Zhuo also turned his head to him and said, "Shuhong, you sit down and yell, what a shame."

Ran Yu stuck out her tongue and sat down again with a smile.

Xiao Ning recited a spell carefully, and Yufeng raised his head to the top of his head, posing in a posture of confronting the enemy.Because of Ran Zhuo's reputation, this battle with Xiao Ning was his first duel. He closed his eyes and meditated silently, wanting to fight the enemy with his sword like Xiao Ning, but his sword trembled crookedly in the air, It fell to the ground with a bang!

The crowd was in an uproar.

Ran Yu was also stunned: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Ran Zhuo himself was also a little surprised, he didn't speak, frowned and tried his sword again, but just like last time, the sword just rose into the air, then fell down again.

Some people around have started whispering: "This Dongyang Ran family has such a big name, is this the only thing they can do?"

"It shouldn't be, I won't be able to boast such a reputation..."

Under the sword-testing arena, a servant of the Ran family asked anxiously: "Eldest young master, what's wrong with you, do you feel unwell?"

Ran Zhuo stared blankly at his fingertips, then closed his eyes suddenly, mobilizing his spiritual power to pass through his body.Before he opened his eyes, a brother beside him who noticed something was wrong exclaimed: "This is 'Hua Ling', big brother——"

Ran Zhuo frowned, turned around and drank in a cold voice: "Dongyang Ran's family, how dare there be someone who abuses this thing?"

He had a very high prestige in the Ran family, and when he got angry now, the members of the Ran family immediately knelt down in the sword trial arena and during the banquet: "Eldest young master, calm down!"

The servant next to him even said repeatedly: "Eldest young master, Mo Nu, only a few people have the 'Hua Ling' in their hands, and there is a fixed amount. I will check it now!"

Ran Zhuo nodded, turned around and bowed to the front seat: "You two immortals, some scandals happened in my family, in order not to delay the sword test meeting, please..."

Before he finished speaking, someone interrupted him loudly during the banquet: "Mr. Ran, wait a minute! When I was fighting with my junior brother today, I also felt that my spiritual power was blocked. I was still confused just now. Looking at it now, Was it caused by some kind of medicine from the Ran family?"

As soon as he said it, people echoed him one after another: "If you say it this way, I think I'm a bit wrong..."

"It's so true, I thought it was because I didn't get used to it, or because I was suppressed too much by the other party..."

Xie Qingjiang was a little surprised, and before he could speak, Zuo Wanshan frowned and replied: "There has never been a cheater in the sword trial meeting for so many years, but now it seems a bit strange... Mr. Ran, don't worry about delays, just here on the sword trial stage Let’s check it out slowly, so I can give everyone an explanation.”

Ran Zhuo said seriously: "The Immortal Wanshan is right, if it is found out that someone from my Dongyang Ran family is responsible, I will give you an explanation!"

The Ran family in Dongyang was famous for making elixir in the early years. "Hua Ling" was developed in recent years. It was originally intended to be used by people in the cultivation world for emergency battles. It is still in the testing stage and has not been mass-produced.Therefore, it is not easy to make medicine, so it has a certain amount. If there is any shortage, you can find out by checking.

After less than an hour, the servant who had just spoken came back in a hurry, knelt down at the sword trial ground, and said solemnly: "Young master, we have checked everything, and this time we are going to Mount Longevity. Come on, the number of 'Hua Ling' is not much, and now there is no shortage, it is really not made by our family..."

Ran Zhuo was startled, and then asked: "Then has this medicine been given to others before?"

The servant was puzzled and thought: "No, because I am immature, I never gave it away... Ah, it was only given to the young master two or three months ago."

"Shuhong," Ran Zhuo turned his head and called out in a deep voice, "Have you ever used the 'Hua Ling' given to you?"

Ran Yu was suddenly called, and she was even more puzzled: "No, my elder brother gave me three bottles, and I have never used them... But I donated two bottles to the second and ninth brothers. It didn't work."

Xie Qingjiang's eyebrows twitched, and he immediately asked, "Xiao Jiu, the medicine that Xiao Liu said——"

Xiao Ning frowned and said: "I have never used it, and I have never seen my senior brother use it. This medicine should be kept in the room of my senior brother and me. Master can send someone to check."

As soon as Xiao Ning finished speaking, he felt flustered. He subconsciously looked at Gu Ling, but Gu Ling just sat there with his eyes downcast, not looking at him.

Xie Qingjiang signaled some disciples to search in their rooms, and said to Ran Zhuo with a smile: "These children are almost all grown up under my watch. rest assured."

Someone muttered during the banquet: "Who knows if it's pickled or not..."

Those disciples came back soon, but they hesitated, and only took back two porcelain bottles: "Qingjiang Xianzun, we went to the three senior brothers' rooms to look for them, and found these two, but...but ..."

Zuo Wanshan's expression darkened immediately: "Two? Whose room doesn't have one?"

The disciple turned his head and took a look, stammeringly said: "Yes... it's in Brother Ninth Brother's room, I didn't find it..."

Xiao Ning froze on the spot when he heard the words, he muttered to himself with a look of surprise: "Impossible..."

Xie Qingjiang frowned, looked at Xiao Ning in disbelief, and then said: "Are you sure there is no one in Xiaojiufang, could it be that it was left somewhere and was not found?"

The disciple kowtowed again: "Several of us searched for it many times, but we couldn't find it."

Someone slapped their palms twice during the banquet: "Come on, isn't this obvious? It happens to be the person who is fighting with Mr. Ran again. He wants to win like crazy, so he uses such a dirty trick... ..."

Xie Qingjiang's face darkened in a rare way: "Xiao Jiu, did you do it?"

Xiao Ning knelt down hastily, with a rare daze on his handsome face: "It wasn't done by my disciples, Master..."

Xie Qingjiang's face softened a little, he thought for a while, and slowly said: "There is no definite evidence for this matter, although Xiao Ning's room lacks the bottle of elixir, but it was stolen by others Maybe..."

The city lord of Lanling Xuntian City crossed his arms and sneered: "I heard that Qingjiang Xianzun protects his shortcomings, but now it seems that his reputation is really well-deserved."

Someone echoed: "The physical evidence is here, and the motive is so clear... Oh, I also fought against him today, have I also been poisoned by this laoshizi?"

At this moment, whether it is those who have played against him or not, there are no Yu, Xi, regiment, team, Du, and family.Well-meaning people started chattering, saying that they too had been poisoned by this thing.Xie Qingjiang couldn't get angry, so he said coldly: "Everyone, since no one saw it with their own eyes, naturally they can't be so rashly convicted. This is not my fault..."

Xiao Ning stood at a loss on the sword-testing ground, surrounded by saliva like poison, sprayed from everyone's mouths to him, and everyone added fuel and jealousy, fearing that he might not be able to keep up with the good show.He clenched the sword in his hand nervously, and suddenly remembered when he was young...

Wasn't it like this when I was young, why can't I bear it now——

Xiao Ning turned his head to look at the expressionless Gu Ling, and remembered sadly that his senior brother stopped him from being wronged like this before. Since then, his senior brother has been protecting him with all his heart and almost never let him suffer again. Wronged.Now I think it is... I have been at ease for too long, and I can't even bear this grievance.

He sniffled, and tried his best to put on an indifferent expression. Anyway, he was innocent, so why not find out?Xiao Ning said to himself in his heart, now that senior brother is insane and can't protect himself, and he can't be too hopeless.

Before he finished thinking, he heard a sudden sentence in the air, Gu Ling sat in the banquet, and said coldly, his voice was firm and firm: "I saw it."

Xie Qingjiang was taken aback, and asked almost in disbelief: "What?"

Gu Ling replied: "I saw it. He went to the back mountain yesterday evening."

Xie Qingjiang shouted: "You have been staying in my room, how could you see this?"

Gu Ling replied calmly: "Yesterday evening, I slipped out once."

He turned his head and stared at Xiao Ning closely: "Then I saw him coming out of the bamboo forest and going back to Lantai by himself."

Xiao Ning said subconsciously: "I went yesterday, it was..."

After thinking about it but did not continue, Qiong Nian frowned and stood up: "Yesterday he went to Houshan to see me, and we chatted for a while at Jilan Pavilion and then left, I can testify for him , he has never done such a troublesome thing!"

There was an ambiguous sigh among the crowd: "Hey, there are no female cultivators in Zhongsui Mountain. I escaped from the banquet yesterday evening, lonely men and widows..."

Gu Ling said blankly, "I saw you too. After you left, he came back."

Xiao Ning was startled, looked at Gu Ling in disbelief, and called out: "Brother, I...I don't have..."

"Speaking of this private meeting of lonely men and widows, I have another matter here. I didn't want to talk about it at this meeting." When the crowd was discussing in a hurry, the palace owner of Luoxu Palace in Youzhou suddenly stood up. Standing up, he raised his voice and said, "Everyone knows that I only have women in Luoxu Palace, so going to Zhongsui Mountain will inevitably be inconvenient, so I troubled the two immortals to prepare a remote place for us."

Luoxu Palace in Youzhou only accepts beautiful women, and everyone in the cultivation world knows it, but the palace master continued: "But who knows that there are also prostitutes in this kind of place! The disciples of my palace took a bath in Qingchi yesterday the day before yesterday. , a few pieces of personal clothing were stolen—”

As soon as she finished speaking, the banquet exploded: "There is such a shameless person in the banquet!"

"Does the palace master know who it is, so that I can open my eyes!"

The lord of Luoxu Palace raised his eyebrows, reached into his bosom, and took out something: "Now I'm taking this opportunity to ask Qingjiang Xianzun for an explanation. I don't know if you have seen such a thing?"

As soon as she took it out, there was a "boom" in Xiao Ning's mind, and it instantly went blank.

Because in her hand, it was the dark green sword tassel that he gave Gu Ling a few days ago.

It seemed that fragments of thousands of years of ice were pouring down from his head, and he was so cold that he froze, Xiao Ning was dizzy, and it took a lot of effort to keep himself steady.He tried his best to swallow the choking sound in his throat, turned his head, and looked at Gu Ling slowly and slowly.

But Gu Ling actually looked at him, and even showed a slight smile.

It was dark.
