Volume 1: The Long Sword as a Song 0007丨See Yourself (2)
The night sky is half-broken, the stars are shining, and the mountain road is not too dark.
A thin, slender young man rode a blue-haired steed and walked slowly through the valley between the large and small solitary peaks. As he walked, he chanted nameless poems, intermittently, always inaudible.
On the ground, he saw a figure standing in the distance, and when he stepped forward, it was a middle-aged beauty. The woman was looking at him with a smile and a groan, like a kind mother-in-law who had searched for five hundred years and finally found a young son-in-law she liked.
The green horse stopped a foot away.
There is also a newly built wooden pavilion next to it. There was a table in the pavilion with a teapot, a small stove, food and food, and a few books.
There are also a few lanterns hanging, and the candlelight is bright, which makes people's hearts warm.
The young man spoke, "This fairy lady, are you waiting for me?"
This little mouth, not to mention how sweet it is.
Not to mention the innocent smile on his face, which melted other people's hearts.
The middle-aged beauty smiled sweeter and said, "Of course, I have three daughters, and I have never married, so I wait here every night to try my luck, maybe I can really recruit a few wishful sons-in-law." She pointed to the small pavilion behind her and said, "You see, I am ready to fight a protracted war." ”
The young man also laughed and said, "If your daughter is half as beautiful as you, I have no opinion." He added: "As long as it looks good, it can be done in a day or two, and there is no need to build a pavilion on purpose, and it is not a restaurant to open a restaurant." ”
The middle-aged beauty blossomed in her heart and said, "The little mouth is so sweet, it makes me at least fifty years younger." ”
The young man laughed even louder, and said, "Adults are not allowed to lie to children, Madame Fairy, you are at most in your thirties, if you are fifty years younger, wouldn't you have run to the past ten years before you died? Oh, no, no, you are so beautiful, God is not willing to let you die." ”
The middle-aged beautiful woman was amazed and praised: "Sweet mouth, quite good at counting, it seems that I have recruited this son-in-law! In the future, our family's account will be handed over to you to manage, which is quite reassuring." ”
The young man's eyes lit up, and he lost his voice and said, "It turns out that your family is so rich, and you still need someone to take care of the accounts." In this way, as long as your daughter is a woman, I will agree! It doesn't matter what she looks like, the beauty of her soul is the real beauty. ”
The middle-aged beauty shook her head and said, "It's a little money fan." In this way, as long as you can get any little talent, I will agree, and besides, you can choose your three daughters. ”
The more they talked, the more energetic the young man threw the reins of his horse, and he went straight into the pavilion and sat down. The middle-aged beauty didn't expect him to be so invisible, so she had to follow him into the pavilion and sit opposite him.
It seems that the two are ready to have a long talk.
The middle-aged beauty said, "Your horse is not on a leash?"
The young man squinted, "Leave it alone." Madam Fairy, if I know three kinds of talents, don't you have to choose, just pack it and take it away?"
The middle-aged beauty snorted coldly: "If your small body is hard enough, it's no problem." ”
The young man was very happy and said, "Then I will perform my first little talent first, and I will give a." ”
With a twitch of his hand, he pulled out a long jasper flute with an emerald green body from behind him.
The middle-aged beauty praised: "Good flute, it is actually made of a whole piece of glass, it is really priceless." ”
The young man smiled triumphantly and pressed the flute, which sounded loudly. In an instant, the whole valley changed color, the moonlight and starlight turned into sunlight, the cold mountain breeze turned into a warm current, and even the silent woods seemed to inspire life force and began to wave in the wind.
The middle-aged beautiful woman was stunned when she heard this, and she actually remembered her husband, who had been dead for more than thirty years: she remembered that he once hugged her and whispered, and she remembered the reluctant demeanor before he left......
The sound of the flute faded away.
The heart of a middle-aged beautiful woman slowly returned to that empty state.
After a while, she said in a dumb voice, "What kind of song is this? I don't think I've ever heard it." ”
The young man said: "This is a new song I just composed on the road, and you are the first person to hear it. ”
The middle-aged beautiful woman sighed, stared at the young man's ordinary but glowing face, and said, "Young man, you are terrible, who are you writing this song for?"
The young man said: "My song has a name, it is called "Seeing Yourself". I wrote it for all the confused and lost people in the world. ”
The middle-aged beauty smiled sadly and said, "No wonder, I feel that it was written for me." Do you have lyrics for this piece?"
"Yes. ”
"Can you sing it to me?"
"No, you can't. ”
"Why?"
The young man sighed helplessly: "I don't know why, every time I open my mouth to sing, a whole number of people will come and kill me." Every time, no exception! "
The middle-aged beauty clapped her hands lightly and said with a smile: "Don't make a fool of yourself, you are really Cai Shuangling, 'a song in the world'!"
The young man sighed, "Who else but me? Why is it so hard to sing a song? God, am I singing so badly? Even if it is not good, I am entitled to have one or two soulmates." ”
The middle-aged beauty said, "Don't pretend to be pitiful. You don't sing badly, on the contrary, you sing well. It's just that the content you sing is not very friendly, or the timing of the song is not right, or the expression on your face when you sing is not good. ”
The young man's innocent eyes widened and said, "How do you know me so well?"
In the martial arts world, among the nine most mysterious organizations, the most fragrant is this "Seven Peerless Palace". The seven palace masters of the Seven Peerless Palaces are all top masters and top beauties.
The young man's eyes were very poisonous, and the middle-aged beauty was Shang Caiyun, she was slightly shocked in her heart, but she was still silent on the surface, and said: "Little doll, no wonder you have been in the limelight the most in recent years, and you really have two hits." Now that you know who I am, would you like to be my son-in-law?"
"Why not?" Cai Shuangling was not afraid.
Shang Caiyun snorted coldly and said, "The little guts are really fat!"
Cai Shuangling didn't give up, and said, "Mother-in-law, when can I come to the door?"
Shang Caiyun didn't expect him to be so thick-skinned, and said helplessly: "If you sing this song to me, I'll take you back to the palace and have a grand wedding!"
Cai Shuangling cried with a sad face, waved his hand again and again, and said, "Don't mind." Do you old man know how many passers-by are ambushed in this little valley? You don't want to live, I still want to live for eighty or ninety years. ”
Shang Caiyun said lightly: "Oh, I'm curious, who is it? Can you tell me?"
Cai Shuangling gritted his teeth and said loudly: "What's wrong with this? In this small valley, half of the top ten masters in the southeast realm have come, and the four major cults, the five great families, and the seven major sects have all sent outstanding representatives. Nine mysterious organizations include you, and here come five. It's not that the other four don't want to come, but the budget for the road is limited, and they can't take the express horse, so they can only take the slow horse, but they are estimated to be able to arrive in the early morning. In addition, at least seven or eight veteran superstars who have retired from the martial arts world for more than ten years have also been killed. ”
Shang Caiyun was secretly shocked in his heart, and wondered: "Is this kid really fake? How can he have twice as much information as he has?"
Cai Shuangling continued: "In addition, the other three little devils with the same name as me will also arrive soon. ”
In the end, he said word by word: "Shang Palace Master, you say, do I sing or not?"
Shang Caiyun said categorically: "Sing!"
"I don't want to die......"
Shang Caiyun said domineeringly: "Who gets you, your mother-in-law, that is, me, all continue." ”
"What did you say?"
"Yes, I said that!"
Cai Shuangling was helpless, put away the flute, took out a guqin out of nowhere, and played it gently.
Then, his singing voice was like flowing water, and he skillfully blended into the sound of the piano and sang:
"Walking alone, looking out from the top of the peak. Beyond a thousand mountains, at the end of the starry sky, you can see yourself ......"
The song is like the breeze of 10,000 years ago, blowing into everyone's heart.
His hippie smile just now was gone, and his face was actually shrouded in a layer of holy and lofty light.
Shang Caiyun's eyes were full of tears, and he sighed in his heart: "Where are you? Have you been reincarnated? Do you know how lonely I have been and how much I miss you in the past 30 years......
At this time, in the field, there were indeed earth-shaking changes, but from four places, four people were shot, all attacking the poor Cai Shuangling who was forced to sing.
"A song is black in the world", this reputation is really not covered.
The little wooden pavilion was about to explode.
Shang Caiyun couldn't help but be startled when she looked at it, and immediately blew a long whistle, and eight or nine figures rushed out of the woods behind her, divided into two roads, and caught the attackers on the east and south roads respectively. She flipped over Cai Shuangling's head and shot out of the pavilion, shook a soft whip, and single-handedly blocked the attackers of a total of seven people on the west and north roads.
To her surprise, before she could do anything, three people from the West Road and four people from the North Road had already done it.
She was idle, so she turned around and went to deal with the attackers on the east and south roads.
The eight people on the East Road and the South Road didn't take advantage of it, and as soon as they saw Shang Caiyun joining, they immediately flashed back a few steps in amusement.
Shang Caiyun looked at it and said with a smile: "It turns out that it is the sixth master of the Demon Spring and the fifth master of the Burning Heart Palace." It's rare for you to go down the mountain to loosen your muscles. It's just that you didn't hear it, I made this young man sing, why can't you just give me a face?"
The person who led the team on the East Road was a horse-faced Taoist, he was the sixth master of the Demon Spring, Songquan Daoist, he smiled and said: "This little doll sings strangely and beautifully, and can also create, which is even more rare." We just want to invite him back to our Demon Spring for a concert to enrich the boring spare time life of our headquarters. ”
The person who led the team on the south road was a tall masked woman, she laughed twice and said, "Shang Fourth Palace Master, how do you know that I must be the fifth master of the Burning Heart Palace?"
Shang Caiyun was happy and said with a smile: "Sister Deng, in the past five hundred years, whether you look horizontally, vertically, or obliquely, there is no woman in the entire martial arts world who can be more burly than you, is it necessary for you to cover this face?"
The whole audience laughed, even the masked woman's three subordinates, two of them endured their stomachs twisted into twists to keep the bottom line, and the third couldn't help it, so he laughed.
Hearing the sound of "bar", the masked woman actually threw out a fierce backhand, and the laughing subordinate screamed miserably, flying sideways, obviously unable to live.
The two roads of the West Road and the North Road, which were fighting, simply stopped, and all came over to watch the excitement.
Shang Caiyun frowned and said, "Sister Deng, there's no need." ”
The masked woman viciously ripped off her scarf and snorted coldly: "The affairs of the Burning Heart Palace, you don't have to worry about the Seven Peerless Palaces. ”
But seeing that her face was full of flesh and her eyes had a vicious light, she was obviously not a good person. This person is none other than Deng Xiaolian, the fifth hall master of the Burning Heart Hall among the four major cults.
She herself is not pitiful at all, but the people around her or the people opposite.
