Chapter 9 The blind man committed suicide in shame

Xuechen and Yunban came back and informed Ye Shu of the situation in the song and dance workshop. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Phoenix Song and Dance Workshop is the largest song and dance workshop in Yanshan Town. Although it is a song and dance workshop, the most famous thing in the workshop is the qin music, especially the piano of the owner Phoenix. It is said that the joy of his piano can make people forget the sorrow of losing a child, and the sadness makes people taste the pain of heartbreaking. Every time he played the piano, he was always hidden behind the curtains, and the people of the time only listened to the soul-crushing sound of the piano through the curtains, but no one had seen his true face, not even his gender. The dancers in his workshop had never seen his face, and only obeyed the orders of the maidservants who had been following him.

The song and dance workshop has never been closed since its opening, but it suddenly closed seven days ago, and it was only said that Phoenix went back to his hometown to visit relatives. But when Phoenix came to Rongshan Town, he was only accompanied by a servant girl, and no one knew where he came from.

Xuechen said: "Shenjun, the sound of the phoenix is so wonderful, it really touches people's hearts. Let people see the dawn of hope in times of despair, be purified in illusory pain, and be more grateful for the beauty in the real world. I really want to hear the magical sound. ”

Ye Shu pondered for a moment, but said: "Mortals say that the human heart is the most fragile and the most tenacious thing, and it is difficult to guess how the human heart changes. The sound of the phoenix can control people's hearts, effectively using the fragility and tenacity of people's hearts. When you are vulnerable, you lose all your thoughts, and when you are resilient, you can indulge in false pleasures and forget about the world, and the most rare thing is that you can combine the two to achieve complete destruction of the human body from the inside out. ”

"Ah, if people's hearts are easily controlled, then what people think and think is not their own heart, isn't it terrible."

"So it's all up to the strocker to take advantage of it."

That night, the four of them sneaked into the song and dance workshop, and it was pitch black as if there was no one.

The whole yard was planted with redbud trees, and the clusters of redbud flowers were stacked on top of each other, and the trunks of the branches were covered with a gust of wind. It's a bit strange that there is no one in such a flowery courtyard.

Xuechen and Yunban had already gone to search for other chambers, and Jiuli looked at the gloomy courtyard and refused to leave after Ye Shu.

After a while, Xuechen and Yunban came back and said that the women in the wing room had all the things they needed, but there was no one, as if the singers had disappeared out of thin air.

Looking around at night, the redbud flowers are enchanting and beautiful.

He slowly walked to a tree, and Xuechen and Yunbian looked at the unusually bright flowers as if they also sensed something, and followed Ye Shu. Jiuli wanted to retreat far away from them, but he was helpless to be restrained by a distance of three meters from Yeshu, and he was also pulled forward.

Ye Shu glanced at the Bauhinia flowers in the garden, and chuckled: "The Bauhinia Demon is a good demon, and he likes to dance the most. On weekdays, he pleases people through singing and dancing, and then extracts the spiritual power of different classes from the different emotions emitted by the listener, and the more pleasant the emotion, the higher the spiritual power class. But it only uses human emotions to enhance spiritual power, and does not harm others. ”

After that, I saw the redbud trees in the garden swaying the body of the tree, and then one after another trees emitted a cloud of purple gas, after the purple gas, there was a woman in purple standing next to each tree, and each woman stroked the willow qin in a graceful posture.

Jiuli only felt that those women were all like heavenly maidens, no wonder the Phoenix Song and Dance Workshop was the most famous song and dance workshop in Yanshan Town, it turned out that the singers in the workshop were all beautiful young Bauhinia Demons, and no mortal would refuse to come here.

The purple-clothed woman in the lead glanced at the Jiuli pot on Ye Shu's waist and said, "I have heard that Ye Shu is rich and handsome, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." However, I don't know what the gods are doing when they come to my small shop, and our sisters have never done anything to harm people's lives. ”

Xuechen took a step forward and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't panic, we just heard that the sound of the Phoenix Workshop owner in this workshop is unique, so we came to pay a respect." ”

The woman in purple said: "I don't dare to bother, it's just that the owner goes home to deal with affairs, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a while." If the owner returns, I will let you know as soon as possible. However, although we have cultivated into a human body, we are unable to maintain a long-term transfiguration at night, so please forgive me. ”

Xuechen nodded, glanced back at Ye Shu, and said, "It's so troublesome for the girls." ”

The woman in purple nodded, and gradually disappeared into the bauhinia bushes. Jiu Li rubbed his eyes, the beautiful bauhinia flowers were still blooming vigorously, but the women had long disappeared like hallucinations.

Back at the inn, Jiuli only felt that what happened today was too weird, who would have thought that the singer of the song and dance workshop was actually changed by the Bauhinia Demon in the garden, and in just two days, he met the fox demon and the Bauhinia Demon one after another, it seems that this town is not as calm as it seems.

Because he was afraid that Jiu Li, who had the lowest spiritual power, would make trouble again, Ye Shu did not erase her three-meter distance immortal curse. Ye Shu is a god who has lived for 10,000 years, and he has never cared about the number of etiquette, and he has no other thoughts about the young beast like Jiuli, so he still left her in the house tonight.

Jiuli is still in a corner of the bed with Ye Shu.

was sleeping soundly, and suddenly there was a fire outside the window, only to hear Xue Chen shouting outside, "Oh no, Shenjun, the Phoenix Song and Dance Workshop is on fire." ”

Xuechen hurriedly knocked on the door outside, Jiuli had already been woken up, there was a lot of noise outside, shouting, splashing water, Jiuli got up and walked to the window, only to see the fire of the Phoenix Song and Dance Workshop burning half of the sky.

For many days to come, the most discussed among the people of Yanshan Town was the menacing fire, which destroyed the most famous and prosperous Phoenix Song and Dance Workshop, and also erased the brightest feature of the town. The shopkeeper of the Fulin Inn looked at the ruined song and dance workshop and sighed. Fortunately, the owner gave the girls a holiday before going home, so no one died because of it.

But for Jiuli and the others, who just discovered that the garden full of redbuds in the workshop was the girl's entity, they didn't think so.

A fire came quickly and strangely, and the song and dance studio, which had not been particularly noticed before, now gave people a feeling of wanting to cover up.

But when they entered the workshop, they were amazed by what they saw. The courtyard was dark, and the song and dance workshop, which had been drunk with the fragrance of flowers and plants in the spring breeze the night before, had turned into a barren grass garden on the outskirts, and a large area of redbud trees had long since turned to ashes. The desolation of the night, except for a pond in the garden, which stood out abruptly, proved that they had come the night before.

Jiu Li followed Ye Shu and approached the pool, the water in the song and dance studio was a stagnant water, and there was no connection to the water source outside the workshop. I saw that the water of the pond had turned a strange black, not only was there a pungent smell around it, but the bottom of the pool was also gurgling outward, as if this huge pool was full of black poison and medicine.

At this time, there was a faint sound in the wing room, and Ye Shu and Jiuli walked over quickly, only to see an old man lying in the room, his hand weakly reaching forward to push a fallen candlestick, his eyes empty. The old man seemed to be in a great fright, and said something indistinctly.

"Help me..."

Nightshade poked between his arms.

Even a half-hearted god like Jiuli could see that the old man at the moment was just an ordinary mortal and had no spiritual power. Ye Shu checked the old man's injuries and found that he was only frightened and fainted, and was not injured, so he first handed him over to the official in charge of the matter according to the rules of the mortal world.

In the inn, Xue Chen frowned: "Shenjun, I think this phoenix is very strange, why did it disappear before we came here, and the song and dance workshop was also destroyed when we noticed him, and there was no way out." ”

Yunpan said: "Yesterday's old man was also quite strange, the entire song and dance workshop burned by a conference turned into ashes, but he is still alive. ”

Jiu Li completely deviated from the theme of the two, and still had lingering feelings about the dark unknown liquid in the pool: "I just wonder why the pool turned black." ”

Ye Shu, who had never spoken, said: "The redbud trees in the garden burned to ashes and threw them in the pool, polluting the pond water. ”

Everyone was stunned, the redbud tree, the graceful woman in purple that night, all turned to ashes? That's not right! Aren't they demons, how could they be burned to death so easily?

Ye Shu's eyes sank: "So it's not an ordinary fire. ”

Thinking of the pungent smell, Jiu Li felt disgusted, and then looked up at Xuechen and Yunban, both of whom looked indifferent.

Xuechen said: "Although the old man is a mortal, I am afraid he also knows a lot. ”

At this time, the inn's junior two came over to add tea: "I want to come to the four guest officials who came to admire the piano of the Phoenix Fang owner, but it's really not the right time to come, alas, the good song and dance workshop was ruined by the blind man." ”

Jiu Li was surprised, and saw that Xue Chen and Yun Pan also had the same expressions as themselves.

Only Ye Shu said politely: "Yes, the disaster is merciless." But why was it destroyed by the blind man? ”

Xiao Er lowered his voice: "Two officials came last night, saying that a living person was found in the workshop, and it turned out to be the blind man." ”

"Who is the blind man?"

"The guest officer is a foreigner, so naturally he doesn't know, but we locals in Lishan Town know it. The blind man was old and weak, had no children and no daughters, and was blind since he was a child. However, the blind man accidentally knocked down the candlestick while the owner was away, causing a fire that burned the song and dance shop. I heard the official say that the blind man was ashamed and could bite his tongue and commit suicide. ”

The four looked at each other.

"But the guest officer doesn't have to regret it, the phoenix's piano is not something that can be heard if you want to, the listener has to answer the phoenix's questions, and if the answer satisfies the phoenix, you can listen to him stroke the qin."

Xiao Er finished speaking and went to greet the other tables.

Xuechen asked, "Does the Divine Monarch believe that the blind man killed himself by biting his tongue?" ”

Ye Shu's eyes were dark and he didn't answer.

"In a few days, the monarch of the Northern Di Kingdom celebrated the princess, and I heard that there will be an amnesty for the world." Sitting in the crowded inn, the most talked about in the past few days in Yanshan Town is the Phoenix Song and Dance Workshop, and suddenly heard two well-dressed men in the back discussing others, Jiu Li couldn't help but prick up his ears and eavesdrop.

"One of my distant aunts is a luthier in Murong Yuan's princely mansion, and I heard her say that although the princess is not yet in the palace, she has a high attainment in piano music. What the princess and her favorite at the ceremony was to listen to the prince's long qin and stroke the qin. In order to fulfill the princess's wish, the king has begun to search for the traces of the prince Changqin all over the country. ”

Another man shouted: "Prince Changqin?!" No one had ever heard the sound of the prince's long lyre. Legend has it that his piano is sunny and clear, and sad is dark and dark. ”

Jiu Li looked at Ye Shu and found that he was also looking at her, as if he saw the question in her heart, Ye Shu said: "The prince Changqin is the son of the fire god Zhu Rong, born with the qin, the qin music attainments are superb, and its qin is also a weapon. His piano has fifty strings, and each time one is played, the power is doubled, and when fifty are played in unison, everything withers, and the heavens and the earth return to chaos. ”

Jiuli asked: "The sound of the phoenix can control people's hearts, but the sound of the long qin can control the sun, moon and stars, and the two have the same relationship." Maybe Changqin has something to do with the phoenix. ”

Ye Shu reached out and stroked her hair, and said to the other two, "Tomorrow we will leave for the national capital." ”
