On Penglai Island, the cold wind with the smell of sea water continued to blow over the tower, Qin Shuangye looked at the lights in the distance, and seemed to be able to hear the boiling voice when he got a little closer.

The birthmark under the corner of the right eye had already begun to crack, and the fine blood threads gathered together, forming a whole drop of blood rolling down from the cheek, Qin Shuangye touched the trace with some warmth with his slightly trembling fingertips, and in just a second, his index finger was stained with a dazzling red.

Counting that this should be her nineteenth Chinese New Year's Eve, once Ye Yingbo would always take her here to put Kong Ming lanterns, telling her that this is the custom of Kunlun Domain, and then Ye Yingbo died, she came alone, one person lit two lamps, and one person made two wishes.

This year's Qin Shuangye didn't bring Kong Ming's lantern, she just stood alone on the tall tower, watching the night breeze blow across the sea, watching the lights illuminate the buildings in the distance into a bright yellow, and also watching her soul flee a little.

"I hope that Angelica Angelica and Angelica Baiqi will have a bright future. "The maiden on the tower bowed reverently to the brightest star in the night sky, and then fell to the ground, making another wish in her softest and clearest voice.

Gu Hai had just arrived at the door of his house, and the bright lights and the sound in the TV program came through the crack in the door. He knocked on the rusty iron door, and after a brief grinding of tables and chairs, his mother eagerly opened the door.

The middle-aged woman in the floral apron didn't say much, just hugged the boy in front of her, if it weren't for the brief meeting on the day of the Winter Clothes Festival, her child had been away from home for more than half a year. The boy's hair had grown below her collarbone, and she wanted to take her son to get a haircut, but the boy tied them up neatly, and it looked unexpectedly clean and sassy.

Because it was a small year, it was just a family of three that had a meal together. Whether it is the sound of firecrackers outside the window from time to time, or the joyful tone of the hosts on TV, it all indicates that the New Year is coming.

Gu Hai rarely ate until his stomach was swollen, it was not that Kunlun's food was unpalatable, but that he was used to eating his mother's craftsmanship, so he ate it unconsciously.

After dinner, Gu Hai returned to the room with his suitcase and small schoolbag satisfied, and he poured everything on the ground and slowly put it up. Suddenly, an ancient book caught his eye, not because the cover looked good, but because Gu Hai felt a little familiar, but it was indeed not Kunlun's textbook.

The young man picked up the book, held it in his hand and thought about it again, and then finally remembered that it was taken from home before returning to Kunlun Domain with Xia Huairuo that day.

The book still smelled like I don't know how to describe it, not a stench or an aroma, but the smell of a plant that I had never smelled before. Gu Hai held the book and lay down on the bed, found a comfortable position and flipped through it.

"Soul Rejuvenation Incense?" In a rough flip, Gu Hai vaguely saw familiar words, so he carefully flipped back. Finally, on a somewhat yellowed page, I saw the word Soul Returning Incense.

"Gather your soul and turn death into life...... Brought to Jinglan Town by a doorman surnamed Xiao of the Penglai Yan clan?" Gu Hai's eyes widened in shock: "Jinglan Town, isn't that here!" He recalled the courtyard in the alley that day in an instant, and secretly said in his heart Xia Huairuo really guessed correctly, and now it seems that the courtyard is even very likely to have a close relationship with the long-lost soul rejuvenation incense.

Thinking of this, Gu Hai suddenly made up his mind to go to that alley early tomorrow morning to see if he could find some clues. After that, he read the ancient book several times, until he was sure that no clues had been missed, then he put it down, and got into the bed full of anxiety.

The next day, Gu Hai got up early in the morning, prepared a few talismans before his mother called him for breakfast, and wrapped his sword tightly by the way, and he hurried out after the family finished breakfast. He hasn't returned to the world for a long time, and the hustle and bustle of the early morning made Gu Hai feel a little strange, and a few cars occasionally passed on the road, and more passers-by who ran in the morning and uncles and aunts who went to the street to buy vegetables.

Gu Hai carried the saber wrapped by him into a cylinder, shook the ponytail that had just grown a handful, and happily walked all the way to the alley, occasionally a few slightly conservative grandmothers passed by, kindly saying that the young man should cut his hair, or the nearby students who got up early to make up the class looked at him with curious eyes.

Gu Hai enjoyed the vitality of the market that can only be found in the world, and unconsciously arrived at the entrance of the alley.

The snacks and breakfast stalls along the alley had been set up early, and those familiar faces were either standing behind the cart or standing in front of the store busy, Gu Hai swallowed his saliva when he smelled the fragrance, and finally walked straight to the uninhabited courtyard with a ruthless heart.

He pretended to look in casually outside the peeling courtyard walls, and at some point an old man with a rickety figure appeared behind him.

"The people in this yard have been living for a long time. He opened his mouth behind Gu Hai without a hint of warning, almost scaring Gu Hai into a tremble. The young man turned around and said hello to the old man, and even subconsciously made a gesture to the other party, and when he reacted a little embarrassed, the old man took the first step and said: "I see that you also learned spells from above, and the people who lived here in the past also ordered spells." It's amazing, and when I moved away, it was quiet, and it disappeared overnight. ”

"Overnight, grandpa, was there anything unusual about this person before he moved away, or do you know why the other party moved away?" Gu Hai saw that the old man seemed to know a lot, so he asked.

"I don't know why they moved away, but before they left, the man didn't come back for a few days, and I don't know what he was doing. Later, it was the woman who carried him back, and he was so badly injured that he didn't know why he didn't take him to the hospital, I thought your spell could cure the disease. ”

The old man shook his head a little inexplicably, looking incomprehensible, he was about to leave, but Gu Hai chased after him again: "Grandpa, then when did they leave?" He thought it was a simple question, but he didn't expect the other party to hesitate, his two white eyebrows were entangled, and he couldn't recall it in the end: "Oh, I can't remember when it happened, it's been too long." I was still young at the time, you see what I am now. ”

The white-haired old man took care of himself and left, ignoring Gu Hai with a sad face behind him. If so, I'm afraid that the person has been gone for a long time, but the old man said that the young couple is young, then who is the other person, is it the woman in the old man's mouth who can do magic, or the man who is seriously injured?

Gu Hai stood outside the wall, his thoughts were a little confused, but when he calmed down, he didn't need to be in such a hurry, and he was not sure that the Xiao family who had lived here must have left with the soul rejuvenation incense, so he only secretly wrote down the matter and prepared to leave.

But as soon as he walked to the alley, Gu Hai ran into Du Heng and Forsythia.

Although the two and Gu Hai did not know each other, they recognized each other at a glance as Kunlun disciples. Because they weren't sure whether the other party was a senior, Du Heng and Forsythia made a gesture to Gu Hai together, which shocked Gu Hai and hurriedly bent his waist to ninety degrees, and said respectfully: "The junior has seen senior brothers and sisters. ”
