Fairy Sword Inquiry 1

Chapter 29 At the place where the water dragon sings, the thunderbolt ghost dance in the sky

After the turmoil that night, Xing Yan couldn't help feeling uneasy for a few days.It's just that, just like after the dispute on the ground by Poyang Lake last time, the next few days seemed to be calm again, and the girl who had made a knot inexplicably came to Huayue Tower to mess with him again.

Thinking about it, it must have been the overwhelming romantic battle that night that made this young girl very ashamed, and she retreated after knowing the difficulty.

However, although the girl never came again, the concubines of Huayuelou and the musicians in the music troupe often joked with Xingyan about what happened that night, saying that he was young and usually He is honest again, no one can see that he has quietly incurred a romantic debt outside!
At this time, if it was the prostitute in the building who came to make fun of him, he would definitely be coy and pretend to blame: "Oh, I said, brother Zhang, you really have no eyesight! Look at us The Huayue Building is full of beauties, little brother, why do you want to go far away? Why don't you... how about you look at the servant's house? Hee hee hee!" After finishing speaking, he and the sisters who watched the excitement next to him, looked at the news together. The boy with red ears on the front is happy!It's just that the more fun it is, the more boring it becomes.For the parties involved, it seemed rather noisy.Xingyan, who was originally ignored by no one, now rarely has a moment of peace in the past few days.However, joking aside, those sisters who have seen Lingyi'er's peerless beauty, while teasing the young man, are also secretly amazed. They don't know how this young country boy who has never shown himself in the countryside can provoke such a beauty Excellent girl.Leaving aside her appearance, just talking about her subtle demeanor in her gestures, one can tell at a glance that this young girl who has come to haunt her for some reason is not the son or daughter of an ordinary street family.

However, if some curious people come to press Xingyan on this point, they will always be dismissed by this slippery boy with words, and they will always miss the point, which is really annoying.In fact, if he blamed Xingyan for this reason, he would be wronged.Because Xingyan himself has been ignorant and ignorant of the girl's true origin and identity until now, how can he let others know if he is in a daze?
At the same time, it is inevitable that there will be people who are interested in interrogating him why he was so powerful that night, and he knocked that seemingly vicious and very vicious brash into the air with a single punch.For Xingyan, the answer to this question is absurd and even more impossible to answer, so he had to answer vaguely with "natural strength" and "attack with anger".

Speaking of which, compared to men, this woman is more curious by nature, and she is naturally extremely sensitive to these gossip and gossip.This is a painful wake-up call, it is quite dizzying for so many women in Huayue Tower to welcome and send them off, and take turns to receive all kinds of inquiries.Anyway, Xingyan has really not been able to keep his ears clean for the past few days.What is particularly worth mentioning is that among them, the little maid Ying'er was the most prominent, she followed Xingyan all day and asked questions about this and that, and was particularly interested in the relationship between him and the girl that night, so she made a lot of inquiries. , Rao Xingyan is generous, but it is also a bit unbearable!

It is said that this day Xingyan managed to send away the little maid Ying'er, but there was nothing he could do. He was worried about Ying'er, and when he was sitting bored, he couldn't help but think back to the scene of that night.Thinking about it this time, Xingyan's heart skipped a beat:
"That naughty girl's repertoire was quite good. It seems that this naughty girl is definitely not an ordinary girl. If I hadn't spent a lot of time learning rituals and music from that old gentleman, I'm afraid that night I was going to make a fool of myself on the spot. Although I could manage it with all my strength, I was still a little powerless in some difficult and dangerous tasks that night. It seems that I have to find a time to practice... eh? Right!"

Xingyan suddenly seemed to think of something, and his eyes lit up: "After the last time I surrendered the Zhuzhai stool demon with the old Taoist Qinghe, didn't I wonder if I could use the 'Taihua Dao Power' I cultivated to try it out?" Come to help me play the difficult-to-play score "Shuilongyin" given by Jun Zhongjun? Why did I forget this! I'm so busy and dizzy."

The young man now wakes up to the fact that he is used to brazenly thinking that he is already cultivating the "Taihua Taoist Power" mentioned in "Refining the Gods and Transforming the Void"-although, he has not yet found the exact method of the so-called "cultivation" , but anyway, he was talking to himself, as long as he didn't say it out loud, he wouldn't be afraid of being laughed at by others.

Thinking of this, Xingyan immediately thought of a wonderful way to get rid of the endless noise these days: "Why don't I take this opportunity to ask Aunt Xia for a day or two off, and go back to Horseshoe Mountain to visit my parents? By the way, I can go to There is no one on the Horseshoe Mountain, so I let go of the flute practice. Ha! It is the best of both worlds, so wonderful!" After this idea came together, the young man became more and more brilliant, and he didn't want to stop for a moment, so he got up quickly and went to ask Aunt Xia for leave , Said that he missed his parents and wanted to go home to visit, and by the way, he also practiced flute skills in the mountains and fields next to his home.

The procuress of Huayuelou, Aunt Xia, has been secretly amazed and impressed by this street boy in her mind ever since she woke up that night and said that she would scare off the tycoons with a punch, and squeezed away the disguised girl with a few words.Now that the Xingyan brother asked for leave, Aunt Xia would not be disappointed, so she readily granted him two days off.

Hearing Aunt Xia's consent, she woke up and said that she was like a bird out of the cage, carrying the music score and jade flute, and headed for Horseshoe Mountain!

When he got home, he woke up and rested for a while, then helped his mother with some housework.Unknowingly, the night has quietly descended on the horseshoe mountains on the outskirts of Raozhou.

After dinner, Xingyan greeted his parents, pinned his beloved jade flute "Shenxue", and took the music score "Shuilongyin" with him, and set off to practice flute on the Horseshoe Mountain.The Horseshoe Mountain in the autumn night has already shed its green costumes in summer, and under the shroud of the blurred moonlight, it looks extraordinarily lonely and desolate.In the grass near the mountain road, the autumn insects that have not known the approaching winter are still chirping tirelessly.Looking far away, the continuous mountains connected with Horseshoe Mountain gradually undulate and extend into the distance with the curve of the hills, and the white moonlight covering the mountains is also gradually receding.In the mountains and shrubs shrouded in the dark night, all kinds of dangers and mysteries in the world are hidden quietly.

Still leaning on the smooth and clean white rock on the top of Horseshoe Mountain, the young man woke up and spread out the musical score "Shuilongyin" that he had read countless times, and skimmed it briefly under the moonlight, then put it aside, picked up the My beloved jade flute "Shenxue", I am going to try my best to see if I can use the flowing "Taihua Dao Power" in my body to compose these many tunes that are beyond the normal hearing range of human beings. "Shuilong Yin", played smoothly.

At this time, there was no sound in the wild, only the chants of insects...Speaking of which, in order to be able to play the music score "Water Dragon Song" presented by Yun Zhongjun, this Xingyan set his mind on the "Taihua" which he could not control. In terms of moral strength, although it seems that some patients are in a hurry to go to the doctor, but it is really out of helplessness.Because according to the usual method, this "Water Dragon Song" is really impossible to play.There are many tunes in the book, which are beyond the reach of human ears.

In order to understand this point, it is necessary to briefly introduce the music theory at that time.At that time, the melody contained a total of twelve rhythms, and the scale was divided into two changes of five tones.The twelve rhythms include Huangzhong, Dalu, Taicu, Jiazhong, Guxi, Zhonglu, Ruibin, Linzhong, Yize, Nanlu, Wushe, and Yingzhong; the scales are divided into Gong, Shang, and Jiao. , Bianzheng, Zheng, Yu, Biangong.They all increase gradually.If one of the twelve rhythms is used as the palace tone in the scale, and so on, a total of 84 tunes can be derived.However, most of these 84 tones are beyond the range of hearing ability for human beings, so these spectrum tones have no practical significance.What's terrible is that in the sheet music that the old man Yun Zhongjun gave to Xing Yan, this type of tone is used more often.If it were a pedant who has been immersed in music theory for many years, seeing such a score, he would definitely dismiss it as absurd!
But for some reason, even though he knew the music score was absurd, the young man had a sense of admiration for the old man who gave the book, and he always felt that the gift of the book didn't seem like he was teasing him.So, tonight, on the horseshoe mountain where the moon is white and the wind is clear, he will try his own Taihua Dao power to see if he can help him.However, it seems that there is no good luck this time, and Xingyan still encounters the expected problem: that familiar yet unfamiliar force like flowing water, Ren Xingyan has been calling for thousands of times, but it is always hard to find!Seeing this, Xingyan thought hard for a while, but still couldn't figure it out.After tossing around for a while, the clever young man stopped all unnecessary calls, and began to calm down and think about the times when he had this Taihua power.The first time, summer night was boring, looking at the pure starry sky above the mountains; In the flower hall, I was waiting with my eyes open for the lightning strike from the elm bench demon that was rushing like thunder...

Thinking about it, and thinking about the title of "Taihua Taoli", the broken chapters and fragments in the chapter "Refining the Gods and Transforming the Void" flashed in the young man's mind like a revolving lantern:
"One way of refining the gods is nothing but inaction." Those who have no intention to do nothing are stupid; those who have no intention to do something are natural; those who have the intention to do something are common;

"Doing nothing to cultivate gods, the way of heaven and man..." Maybe, I understand. "

It was as if a ray of light flashed by, and the bewildered young man suddenly smiled faintly, and his heart seemed to move.At this time, his expression suddenly relaxed, and his hands and feet stretched freely. After a while, this person, this mountain, this water, this grass, this tree, this cloud, this month, and everything between this world Everything, from a strange moment, seems to be integrated into one.

Don't ask where this man came from, don't ask where he is going.In this vast expanse of heaven and earth, in this vast and vast universe, he should be like this, so he is like this.And if you ask this person, with this mountain, this water, this grass, this tree, this cloud, this moon, and all of this, why should it be like this?
The answer is: the way of heaven is permanent.I am natural.Thus, during the question-and-answer period that seemed to exist in the dark, the mysterious flowing water Taihua also appeared naturally in the body of the young Zhang Xingyan, as if it had always been there.Without any special consciousness, Xingyan raised the jade flute Shenxue to his lips naturally, and played it.From this moment on, perhaps only the sky and the earth, the cloud and the moon, the water and the wind, the grass and the trees, and the music that this young man can only hear, centered on the young man, he played quietly in this moonlit night sky. , Pentium, spread to all directions in such a contradictory and harmonious way:
...In the dark and deep jungle, a hunter who came out to set up traps at night was looking at the fierce tiger in front of him in horror.Just when he was losing all hope, he suddenly realized that the fierce tiger in front of him, which was focused on predation, seemed to hear some noise in the forest where there were only rustling leaves, and turned its mighty giant head in another direction. , staring intently, then dropped the food in his mouth, and walked quietly in that direction.Seeing the tiger's burly body parting the forest and disappearing into the night, the hunter, who escaped from death, just sat there, unable to believe his eyes.

... In the night-time deserted city of Raozhou, a shabby householder who was short of money was sneaking into a house under the cover of night.Just as he climbed over the fence and landed silently, he was secretly proud of himself, but suddenly he was horrified to find that there was a huge wolf dog squatting in the shadow of the moon in the corner of the wall that was close at hand.Just when the rogue was so frightened that his legs were weak and he wanted to run away, he was surprised to find that the dog didn't come forward to bark and bite when he saw him, but turned the dog's head towards the east of the city in a daze, motionless.

"I'm ashamed! But it turned out to be a dog eagle." The shabby man pressed the dog's head casually--immediately, there was a burst of chaos and shit in this silent courtyard!
"It turned out to be a real dog!" The shrill scream echoed in the sky above Raozhou City for a long time...

Besides, the young man playing the jade flute "Shenxue" has completely immersed himself in this kind of inexplicable and mysterious realm, completely unaware of everything happening outside his body.He didn't know that more and more dark clouds were gathering in the night sky where there were only a few clouds, and there was a faint rolling sound of wind and thunder, and from time to time, streaks of lightning flashed across, like dragons and snakes.

In the distant mountains, there were bursts of weird wind noises, which sounded like ghosts crying.At this time, the jade flute "Shenxue" in Xingyan's hand, and the snow-colored patterns on the body of the jade flute seemed to come to life at this moment, following the rhythm of "Shuilongyin" on the jade flute , Gathering and dispersing at times, reuniting at times of division and reunion, constantly swimming and whirling, just like a galloping dragon on the bottom of the sea.

Around the young man, a few steps away from the white stone as the center, more and more animals are gathering, squatting, crouching, standing, or crawling, tigers, leopards, bears, boars, wolves, The ape, the raccoon, the rabbit, the tiger is next to the rabbit, the ape is next to the scorpion, and they just stay there quietly, staring at the young man who is fascinated by playing, ignoring the lightning and thunder in the sky...

This night, with the power of flowing water, Xingyan finally played the difficult and difficult song "Shuilongyin" heartily!
However, as the notes flowed out, the young man vaguely felt that the "flowing water" in his body supporting the Shenxue jade flute was getting weaker and thinner, until the whole song was about to end. At that time, the young man who was immersed in the supreme realm "saw" that the flowing water had dried up!

In an instant, Xing Yan only felt that there were thousands of needles and blades all over his body, only scratching in the bone marrow, excruciating pain.What's even more frightening is that he felt as if all the flesh and blood in his body were going to flow into the flute along the last trace of the flowing water, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop it...

At this critical time, it was this strange white rock on Horseshoe Mountain that saved Xingyan again.Just when he woke up and realized that he was about to perish, the stubborn rock he was leaning on behind him, like last time, suddenly sent a strong force, which continued continuously.This power is so familiar to Xingyan that it is the life-saving "Taihua Dao Power"!
So this ancient and unparalleled song "Water Dragon's Song" came to a wonderfully successful conclusion!When the last note dissipated in the night sky, the long-simmering thunder and lightning above his head suddenly rushed towards the young man, and in just an instant, all the lightning flashed through the young man's head and disappeared without a trace .At that moment, the originally noisy world fell into silence again... Until, until the white stone behind the young man suddenly turned into powder all over the sky, fluttering and fluttering between the world, just like the wind dancing in the snow , It seems that the flowers are floating like snow.And at the place where the "snowflake" flew up, there was a slender ancient sword emitting a faint light...

It is:

A thousand years of time flies by with a flick of a finger, and a sword can be grinded for ten years.It's better to sit idle in Lingtou if you work hard to get to the top of the sky.
