Battle for Rebirth

Zhao Chen still had no news, and Yuan Xingnian didn't know whether it was good or bad, but he started to have nightmares on the second night of staying in the inn.The nightmare repeated. He only remembered the last coffin, and Zhao Chen crawled out from there. Her hands were covered with blood, and her loose hair covered half of her face.Yuan Xingnian thought of the weird place he entered before his rebirth.

Unable to fall asleep, he sat up and walked towards the well with a candle in his hand.The shadow of the night was deep, and he walked slowly to the yard where the body was found.This time the paper figurine tightly closed its eyes, not even wanting to reply to Yuan Xingnian's teasing.It frighteningly felt that this kind of Yuan Xingnian was very weird, as if it had been hit by a spell.

Lian Xiao looked around, and saw that the trees beside the well were particularly tall and luxuriant, their branches and leaves pierced into the sky, lush and lush, but when they fell to the ground, they became ghostly shadows.She couldn't help touching her neck, and called Yuan Xingnian in a low voice.

Yuan Xingnian didn't answer, he lowered his head to look at the dark well, the ripples were shaking, and he vaguely saw the face of a woman.Her hands stretched out, as if trying to grab him.

"A Nian!" The paper figurine finally couldn't help but opened its eyes cautiously, but was startled by that look and screamed again.

"You're making me deaf." Lian Xiao innocently closed her ears and complained.

The paper figurine glared at her, but when she saw the shadows of trees behind her, she was so frightened that she became dizzy and fainted.Yuan Xingnian caught the thin piece of paper figurine in time, and stood a little embarrassed.

"Paper figurines can't touch water, but I have to go down." Yuan Xingnian murmured.

Lian Xiao turned away from looking at the well, and asked anxiously, "Why does the master insist on going down at this time? Can we see it tomorrow?"

Yuan Xingnian thought for a while, nodded in agreement, put the paper figurine in his arms, and then reached for the candle placed in the well.

For some reason, it was very cold in the yard.It wasn't the natural temperature that cooled down at night, but the chill that pierced his skin.Yuan Xingnian couldn't help shaking, and walked towards his room faster.Unexpectedly, he met the shopkeeper again on the road, and the paleness of his face was even more terrifying under the reflection of the candlelight.

"Shopkeeper," Yuan Xingnian said, "Could it be that you were woken up by the sound again?"

The shopkeeper narrowed his small eyes, and it took him a long time to laugh in a trance, "Ah... I thought there were no strangers in this inn."

What he said was weird, and Yuan Xingnian was chilled again.He made up his mind to urge the monarch to change the place after seeing the well tomorrow.The other three wells are also very suspicious, there is no need to waste time here.Besides, there was an even weirder shopkeeper, Yuan Xingnian was feeling uncomfortable and scared.

He said goodbye to the shopkeeper in a hurry, walked up several steps in a row, felt something was wrong and stopped after walking a few steps, and looked down at the stairs.In the little light from the candlelight, he saw countless strands of dark hair, and he stepped on the soles of his feet.Yuan Xingnian turned around, and the shopkeeper stood behind him at some point, so frightened that he almost threw a candle on his face.

"The shopkeeper..." Yuan Xingnian felt that his voice was raw and hoarse, and he swallowed unconsciously without daring to let out a breath.

The shopkeeper nodded, and said with concern, "I actually remembered that there are a lot of hairs on the stairs for some reason, so I want you to pay attention."

Yuan Xingnian smiled insincerely, and if he didn't dare to stay any longer, he slammed the door and hid in the bed.

The shopkeeper is lying, he didn't have these strands of hair before he went down the stairs.

Yuan Xingnian felt cold all over, he touched his shoulder, and seemed to hear something.

"Master, what's wrong with you, master?" Lian Xiao said in a worried voice.

"Ah, Lian Xiao, you were the one crying for pain just now?"

Lian Xiao paused, then slowly shook her head, "I don't. Master, this place is very weird, let's leave tomorrow."

Yuan Xingnian nodded, put his arms around his knees, called out to Lian Xiao, and Lian Xiao responded.

"Lian Xiao, you must have heard Jun Zheng's words that day, and I'm also curious what kind of spirit you are." Yuan Xingnian tried to speak to ease the fear in his heart.

"Tianlu."

"It turned out to be a Qilin." Yuan Xingnian smiled, "I am so lucky to be guarded by a Qilin."

Lian Xiao gently touched Yuan Xingnian's face, her eyes were full of tenderness, "I wish to protect your health and longevity, and protect you with my life."

Yuan Xingnian sighed, his heart was slowly filled with a strange tenderness, and after all the panic and fear disappeared, he showed a sincere smile.Gently responding to Lian Xiao's touch, he was finally able to lie down and rest with peace of mind.The weird things that happened in the inn these days made him uneasy, but now he feels extremely at ease.

Lian Xiao glanced at the door faintly, leaned against Yuan Xingnian's face, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Yuan Xingnian woke up early. Although he slept late, he slept soundly without a dream.After hastily washing up, he went next door and knocked on Junzheng's door.

Because of the hot weather, Junzheng Xu was only wearing a single shirt and exposed a large area of ​​his skin.Yuan Xingnian glanced hurriedly, attracted by the plump and beautiful chest muscles, his ears turned red immediately.

Jun Zheng's voice sounded above his head, with a slight smile, "Junior brother, you came here early in the morning just to blush at me, right?"

"Senior brother, how decent is he dressed like this?" Yuan Xingnian raised his head, avoiding the large area of ​​skin, and stared straight at Jun Zheng's face.

Jun Zheng sneered, and couldn't help rubbing Yuan Xingnian's head, "It's hot, isn't it reasonable for me?"

"Okay, get dressed quickly, I have something to say." Yuan Xingnian heard a sound from the next door, and pushed Jun Zheng's waist.

Junzheng turned into the room, followed by Yuan Xingnian, not forgetting to close the door.It's just that Junzheng is still lazy, and doesn't tidy up the thin clothes. After washing slowly, he sits down and waits for Yuan Xingnian to speak.

Yuan Xingnian held back, what matters now is what happened last night, he finished talking about the well and meeting the shopkeeper when he came back, and saw Jun Zheng frowned.

"Lucky year, you must not go alone in the future."

"I just can't sleep." Yuan Xingnian said so with his heart warming.

Junzheng raised the corner of his mouth, and pulled Yuan Xingnian's hand onto his knee, "If you can't sleep, you can come to me, I'm right next door, right?"

Since they came to an agreement, such vague seductions and ambiguities have occurred from time to time.Yuan Xingnian moved his finger, but didn't take it back.He was thinking seriously, if Junzheng was like this, would he not be able to hold on for four years at all?

"It's bright and bright in broad daylight." The paper figurine ran out of Yuan Xingnian's arms after being full of sleep, and couldn't help smacking his lips.

Yuan Xingnian blushed again, regained his senses and said, "Brother, let's wait and see how about it?"

Jun Zheng's eyes sank, he smiled, "Let's go, if we can find something, maybe we can find out why this shopkeeper is acting so strangely."

Yuan Xingnian left the room first, coincidentally at this time Gong Anchou and Hua Lian also opened the door.The three looked at each other, before Yuan Xingnian realized what was going on with Gong Anchou's suddenly realized expression, Jun Zheng then walked out of the door and greeted the other two naturally.

Gong Anchou came over and patted Junzheng on the shoulder, and said something in a low voice.

Yuan Xingnian was a little curious, but Gong Anchou deliberately lowered his voice, he couldn't hear clearly.

"A Nian, what are you waiting for?" Hua Lian asked Yuan Xingnian simply after seeing the other two biting their ears.

Yuan Xingnian hesitated for a moment, and simply told him what happened last night.At this time, Gong Anqiu also finished talking, and hugged Hua Lian's waist intimately, and dropped a kiss on him.

Yuan Xingnian blinked his eyes, he didn't expect this to happen at all, when he looked at Jun Zheng suspiciously, the other party smiled...it gave him a bad feeling.

"Ahem, let's go first." Unable to stay any longer, Yuan Xingnian hurriedly made a noise and ran to the stairs.

He took a special look at the stairs, it was clean without any hair.

Jun Zheng followed closely behind, grabbed his hand and walked down.

"We are also curious, let's go together." Hua Lian smiled.

Yuan Xingnian glanced at Gong Anchou whose lips were about to be swollen from kisses, and silently turned his face away.

"This is so different from the plot in the book that I can't bear to read it." The paper figurine was also speechless for a while, and then said, "Gong Yi and Gong Er got together... I don't think you need to worry about being beaten up." died."

Lian Xiao comforted, "If Master is in trouble, I will help."

Yuan Xingnian couldn't help feeling that his spiritual pet was really loyal.

When the four of them came to the yard, the shopkeeper and a man who looked like a Taoist priest stood beside the well unexpectedly.Yuan Xingnian and Jun Zheng glanced at each other, a little confused about what was going on.

"Who are these people?" The Taoist said coldly when he saw the four of them.

Gong Anchou raised his eyebrows, but Hua Lian patted the palm of his hand lightly when he wanted to speak, shut his mouth immediately and just gave him a cold look.

The shopkeeper smiled flatteringly, "It's a guest of my inn, Daoist, please help to find out what's wrong with this well first. I keep hearing men's screams in the middle of the night, it's really scary."

Yuan Xingnian noticed that Gong Anchou seemed to be blushing, although his dark skin was not very conspicuous.He couldn't help thinking about it, and suddenly the whole picture couldn't be restored.

The Taoist raised his eyebrows, "Shopkeeper, don't lie, the person in this well is clearly a female ghost."

The shopkeeper's face changed, and his smiling face suddenly distorted. His voice also became louder, and he scolded the Taoist priest, "I thought you were so powerful, but it turned out that you were talking nonsense. Get out, I don't need your help."

The Taoist sneered, and left without looking at the shopkeeper.

The four of them looked at each other in blank dismay, no one expected this to happen.

Yuan Xingnian hesitated for a moment, but still did not tell what he saw in the well.He really didn't trust the shopkeeper, and felt that he was very eerie and weird.

Jun Zheng leaned over to look at the well, the water was clear and he could see everything underneath.He looked at Yuan Xingnian, but saw that Yuan Xingnian was staring at the shopkeeper with a scrutinizing expression. He was still full of doubts when he thought about it.

"Let's go first." Jun Zheng pulled Yuan Xingnian's arm and whispered in his ear.

Yuan Xingnian understood, and when the four left, only the distraught shopkeeper was left.
