Battle for Rebirth

It was night, and only the lanterns hanging on the eaves of Yonghe Town were still burning with warm yellow light.Only the old watchman was clocking over and over again. He was already very familiar with this town, every quiet path, every dark corner.But for some reason, when he raised his head to look at the dark sky, he couldn't help trembling all over his body, as if someone was quietly staring at him from an invisible corner, like a snake or a wild wolf, waiting for a suitable time to spit out The poisonous tongue bared its fangs.

The watchman walked slowly, and only under the light could he feel a little more at ease.Seeing that this was the last place, he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help wiping the sweat off his face.He was very old, and the skin on his hands had shriveled. Under the lantern, the dry and ugly shape of his hands looked like a monster with teeth and claws.The old watchman suddenly turned his face away, and there was silence behind him, only the cool wind slowly curled up around his body, and he couldn't help trembling again, this time he lowered his head, the slender vines It was already wrapped around his neck.

The old watchman fell silently, his cloudy eyes could only see under the thick moonlight, shadows that looked like his fingers covered his eyes.So he could no longer see anything, and fell into the silent darkness forever.

The vines poked into the old watchman's heart little by little, and after absorbing the little bit of warmth, they hid silently in the darkness.This time it can take a short rest, and after hiding for three days and three nights, it will wake up again and attack the next living eye that appears in its eyes.

When the morning light swept across a large area of ​​houses, the body of the old watchman was also exposed in people's sight.Some people screamed, while others looked for the government.

A lone family died on the street without warning, and they didn't even realize that they were premeditated.The old watchman didn't have any wounds on his body, and the foreman couldn't find it.Helpless, his body was thrown in the wilderness to be eaten by wild beasts.Among those onlookers, only one woman cared. She frowned and knelt down slowly to pick up a dry leaf.

The old watchman died just outside Zhao Chen's sword-making shop, and Zhao's family yelled bad luck and took his daughter back.

"You, how old are you," Zhao headed said, and couldn't help frowning at his daughter's attire, but also couldn't help sighing. "Can't you dress up like ordinary women instead of making swords with me?"

Zhao Chen didn't care much, hid the dead leaves in his arms, and held his father's arm with a smile, "I'm not a daughter-in-law, I'm saying that you want me to take care of you when you get old."

"There are so many apprentices, and I'm still talking about A Liang, so I don't need you." Master Zhao calmed down a little, and said in a good voice, "Don't you like Mr. Li last time? He has a pretty face and a good personality."

Zhao Chen pursed his lips and sat at the door of the sword casting shop with a big grin. He was depressed for a while, and then he said leisurely when he saw his father's angry face, "But Mr. Li told me that he actually has someone he likes, and his parents just don't agree. .Father, how can I break them up."

Master Zhao couldn't help it, so he just didn't bother to pay attention to her, and only wanted to let the matchmaker find another family, and this time he must find a son who made Ah Chen have no excuses.He was also anxious, Ah Chen was already in her twenties, an age she hated to marry, but she was not in a hurry at all.Her mother died of illness when she was young, and he didn't know how to take care of her. As a result, she became the current girl who was more bold and carefree than a man.

Zhao Chen waited until Yuan Xingnian and the others saw Yuan Xingnian leading her to look ugly, and couldn't help but wonder how well her shop could still be preserved.

"Ah Chen." Junzheng obviously noticed, and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, if the Eighth Movement makes trouble again, I will directly peel its skin."

Wuxu hid pitifully behind Yuan Xingnian, only showing his head.

Yuan Xingnian was absent-minded, he hadn't recovered from the gentle things, seeing Zhao Chen at this moment was like seeing that ruthless senior sister, his body couldn't help but tremble.

Zhao Chen looked at Yuan Xingnian strangely, and looked at Junzheng for some reason.

Jun Zheng smiled slightly, but he ignored her eyes and explained Xiao Chuxing's affairs in detail.

Zhao Chen didn't pay much attention, and talked with them about the old watchman. When she took out the dead leaf from her bosom again, she was surprised to find that it had turned into a fresh green leaf.

"Strange...it was already dry when I picked it up this morning."

Jun Zheng also frowned when he heard that, and when he took the green leaf, his expression was serious again.

"Senior brother, what's the matter?" Yuan Xingnian couldn't help asking when his interest was aroused.

"There is spiritual power in the leaves." Junzheng replied.

Yuan Xingnian thought of it immediately, and blurted out, "Ling Zhi?"

"Hmm...it might be done by monks."

Yuan Xingnian was confused and hesitated before speaking, "Why did the monk kill an old watchman? There is no wrong or enmity."

"Maybe," Junzheng hesitated for a moment before expressing his guess, "It's the demon cultivator."

magic repair?

When Yuan Xingnian thought of Huangquan, he suddenly became emotional.

It's just that this magic cultivator can't compare with Huang Quan, and Huang Quan is no longer alive.

"How could there be a magic cultivator in Yonghe Town?" Zhao Chen was surprised, and couldn't help raising his voice, but then he pursed his lips tightly as if realizing something, and looked at Junzheng in disbelief.

Junzheng shook his head, his face was also heavy, "I don't know, it's better to show the leaf to the suzerain."

The three of them discussed the topic.

Jun Zheng chatted with Zhao Chen a few more times, and for some reason mentioned gentleness.

Hearing her name from others, Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment before smiling bitterly, "She seems to be doing well in Tianmen Sect."

"Why don't you go to Tianmen Sect?" Yuan Xingnian thought that Zhao Chen threatened Wen Wen because of the tenth floor of the water. Maybe he would protect Zhao Chen in Tianmen Sect, so he didn't have to be wary and afraid of Wen Wen.

Zhao Chen fell silent, unwilling to answer this question.

Yuan Xingnian was in a hurry, but he was a little discouraged when he asked several times and didn't get a response.He couldn't talk to them and couldn't think of a way, which made him depressed for the rest of the time, and he couldn't even concentrate on what Junzheng said, and Junzheng didn't ask him again when he came down several times.When Yuan Xingnian wanted to go back to rest after returning to Tianmenzong to bid farewell to the chef, Jun Zheng grabbed him.

"What's wrong with you? It seems that you have been in a bad mood for the past few days." Jun Zheng pulled him to the courtyard of the lobby, and said worriedly.

"Brother... I..."

"Is there anything bothering you that you can't talk to senior brother?" Seeing Yuan Xingnian hesitated to speak, Jun Zheng gently stroked his head and asked warmly.

At that moment, the sourness, anguish, grievance and fear hidden in Yuan Xingnian's heart were all easily disintegrated, and he couldn't help but his eyes were red, which made him bow his head in embarrassment.He has grown up, and he is no longer a crying child who can't help his emotions whenever he feels wronged.But when a person cared about him so much, the warmth and touch in his heart made him unable to control telling him the gentle things.

Junzheng frowned, quietly listened to Yuan Xingnian's words, and then gently patted his head again.

"Brother, I really don't know what to do." After Yuan Xingnian finished speaking, he felt much better.He looked up, his eyes wet.

At this time, Yuan Xingnian's appearance is exquisite, with a fair and smooth face, and his eyes are about to shed tears. Even a person with a hard heart may soften his heart and be temporarily confused.

Jun Zheng was dazed, but he quickly regained his senses, lowered his head slightly, and said earnestly, "Although I am very happy that Junior Brother believes in me so much, I think you should tell your parents about this matter. They must have a way to solve it than you of."

"I'm afraid they're worried..."

"If something happened to you, wouldn't they be more sad?"

The two got close, and their breaths were intertwined. Yuan Xingnian bit his lips uncomfortably, and his face turned slightly red.

"I'll accompany you to find your parents." Jun Zheng stopped molesting the other party, stood up straight, and said with a smile.

Yuan Xingnian felt the distance between them, he was relieved, but he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, he just shook his head without thinking much.

"It's too late now, brother, let's go again tomorrow."

"Well, good. Xingnian, don't think about it anymore, go back and have a good rest." Jun Zheng still said gently and considerately.

Yuan Xingnian waved, "Then senior brother, I'll go first."

On the way back, Yuan Xingnian somehow thought of a smile on his face, he felt relieved, his steps relaxed and he walked quickly.When he returned to the house, he hugged the quilt and laughed silly several times.

The paper figurine scolded in distaste, "Isn't it just a chat with the protagonist, as for such a spring-like appearance?"

"What's the spring heart?" Yuan Xingnian sat up, but there was still a silly smile on his face, "Brother is so kind, he's not like the last life at all."

The paper figurine couldn't help but the corners of its mouth twitched. They had only been together for a long time in the last life, and they didn't even see the first disguise of the protagonist, so they had the nerve to talk about him.But looking at Yuan Xingnian, he was both happy and worried.It is a person who has seen the entire plot, even if the final ending is not settled, but it is probably not far from the same. With the protagonist's final character, I am afraid that Yuan Xingnian can't beat him at all.It would be best to make friends with him while he is still normal at this time.

"You said it yourself, you will never fall in love with the protagonist again." The paper figurine couldn't help reminding.

Yuan Xingnian's original smiling face was a bit ugly, he pursed his mouth unhappily, and replied with a lack of confidence, "I didn't like it in the first place, so don't make random guesses."

The paper man didn't believe it, he stared at Yuan Xingnian until he turned his face guiltily and said, "This is the best. Anyway, you can't compare to the other five."

Being compared in this way, even if it was the truth, made Yuan Xingnian sad. He couldn't help but said, "Don't make others want to destroy your prestige, okay! Even if I don't have the power behind them, but now I am the closest brother. "

The paper figurine slowly laughed, and his voice subconsciously cooled down, "Are you sure he really regards you as his close junior brother?"

Yuan Xingnian turned pale, hugged the quilt and said angrily, "I won't tell you anymore!"

"Children's heart." Zhiren said, seeing that Yuan Xingnian really ignored him, and said, "Forget it, if you think so, just think so."

"It was!" Yuan Xingnian turned his head and said angrily.

"Yes, yes, he loves you the most."

The paper figurine's perfunctory words made Yuan Xing curl his lips in dissatisfaction, but in fact, he really suspected that his senior brother didn't treat him more than others.This realization made him sad, but it didn't help.

Could it be that he really likes senior brother?
