Northern Regions Dynasty, Mirage.

It was only in October that the wind became cold, and as soon as it slipped into the crook of the neck, the whole body was blown through, making people shiver. This mirage city is located in the northwest, it is the royal capital of the Northern Regions Dynasty, and it can be regarded as one of the most prosperous and wealthy places in the four seas and eight wildernesses, but the climate here is cold, and the people of the Central Plains and Southern Xinjiang cannot stay for a long time.

Lu Li sat on the threshold and looked at the black clouds in the sky, it should be raining soon, and he didn't see a few guests for most of the day, he yawned boredly, got up and prepared to close the door.

"Stopped doing business so early?"

Lu Li looked up and saw that the person who came was dressed in a robe, his face was mostly covered by a hat, and he spoke coldly and detachedly, and his accent didn't sound like he was from Mirage.

"Childe, do you want tea?"

"Now that I've arrived at the tea shop, I have to drink a cup of tea. ”

According to Lu Li's temperament, he must have driven people away, but it was too boring these days, so after he put the door down, he slowly set up the tea set on the table and asked, "What kind of tea does the son want to drink?"

"The tea I want is extremely precious and rare, and you don't necessarily have it here. ”

Lu Li snorted coldly unconvinced: "If we don't have this Yanxue tea shop, there will be no place in the world." ”

"The little brother is not very old, but his tone is not small. ”

"I see you don't have a small tone, what's your name?"

"Su Jue. The man took off his hat and showed his true face, he looked less than twenty years old, his eyebrows were very handsome, but his eyes were too sharp, so people didn't dare to approach. After this person sat down next to Lu Li, he comfortably picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup, but before he took a sip, he said with some disappointment: "You are not quiet and brew too quickly, it's a pity that this high-quality white tea is brewed." ”

"It's tasteless, I'm just soaking it to quench my thirst. ”

"It seems that the little brother is not the master here. ”

Lu Li smacked his tongue impatiently: "You don't speak yin or yang, what are you going to do?"

"I don't know, does the little brother know about the Nuwa Soul Stone?"

"Nuwa Soul Stone?" Lu Li looked at this person carefully when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to look at every inch of him.

"What, is there anything wrong with the way you look?"

"What do you want that thing for?"

"It's not for what I'm asking for, I hope the little brother will tell me the truth. ”

"This, I've heard it, but ......" Lu Li frowned in embarrassment, he had heard Jiang Yan mention it, but he couldn't remember what it was.

"In the past, Nuwa was possessed by the piano wood of Fuxi, and she also had the clay figure possessed by herself, it is said that Nuwa Niangniang left a trace of spiritual consciousness in the world before disappearing and turned into a soul jade, this is probably the Nuwa soul stone you said. The person who suddenly interjected was a woman who looked twenty-seven or eight, she was holding a paper umbrella with begonias painted on it, and she was wearing a plain red cloud brocade with gold lines to draw the begonia pattern, although she was no longer in her prime, but there was an extraordinary charm between her chin and low eyebrows, which made people can't help but take a few more looks.

"Yan Niang!" Lu Li stood up, "You came back so early?"

This woman's name is Jiang Yan, and she is the owner of this Yanxue tea shop, she glanced at Lu Li and sat down in front of the man in Xuanyi.

"Legend has it that the soul stone has ancient spiritual breath, which can replenish the broken spirit, even the life of the living, and restore the bones. ”

"It seems that the girl knows very well?"

"Not only do I know, I know where it is. ”

Su Jue's eyes twitched, "Where?"

Jiang Yan smiled and replied, "There is no business in vain in this world. ”

"What do you want?"

"I'll tell you when you actually get the Nuwa Soul Stone. ”

"Oh?"

"If you can't come back, why should I trade with a dead man? ”

The corners of Su Jue's mouth showed a slight smile, "How can you be sure that I will come back after I get it?"

Jiang Yan nodded at the table and said confidently: "Since you will come for the first time, of course there will be a second time." ”

"And where the hell is it?"

"Zhonghuang Mountain. ”

"Zhonghuang Mountain?"

"The goddess of Nuwa has been dead for many years, and now Zhonghuang Mountain is the only place in the mortal world where you can see her former gods, I think this Nuwa soul stone must be in the Wa Palace in the mountain if it exists. ”

Su Jue arched his hand and said, "Thank you." ”

"No, you're not the first person to ask me, so thank me when you come back. ”

After watching the man leave, Lu Li leaned over and took a sip of tea: "Yan Niang, do you think this person can do it?"

"What does it matter to you, what are you doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and do something?"

Lu Li rolled his eyes and answered the table honestly.

After the man left, he walked out of the city, he came to a bamboo forest as promised, and after a long time he heard the sound of the flute around him, the sound was clear and smart, and he thought that the person who came to blow the flute must be a beautiful person.

"Lingxi!" Seeing the woman in purple in front of him, he hurriedly greeted him, "I've kept you waiting." ”

The girl shook her head, just like the man's name, her facial features were as delicate as water, and there was a little bit of youthful mischievous air in her eyebrows. Compared with Jiang Yanlai before, this girl is not as beautiful or amazing, but she is like the morning sun in winter, just looking at it can make people's minds lively, and go to a little bit of daily worries.

"Why, news got so soon?"

"Well, I'm going to Zhonghuang Mountain. ”

"Good. Su Lingxi took the jade flute, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then let's go, I'll go with you." ”

"Lingxi, you better go back first, don't let the sect priest worry. ”

"Joke, do you think Master won't worry about you if he just worries about me?"

"This trip is dangerous, I can't take you there. ”

"Su Jue, we have been in the same family for many years, and you still want to share each other with me? And Master asked me to go out of Southern Xinjiang with you this time just to help you, could it be that you think that I am inferior and can't help you?"

"I ......" Su Jue has never been good at words, and she didn't know what to say when she forced her like this.

"Let's go, let's go, Zhonghuang Mountain is far away. ”

Su Lingxi walked in front alone, Su Jue smiled, and had to follow by default.

Looking at the spring scenery of Zhonghuang Mountain, it was not like what he thought, Su Lingxi stood on the mountain road and stretched his waist greatly, and sighed: "I think this Zhonghuang Mountain is much better than Mirage, not only the air is refreshing, but also the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant." ”

Su Jue replied with a 'hmm', which was the third word he spit out along the way.

"Lingxi, there is the sound of the piano. ”

"Piano?"

Su Jue stopped and said, "Listen, there is the sound of the piano above." ”

Su Lingxi, who calmed down, really heard a faint and very shallow piano sound.

"In this barren mountain and wilderness, there are still people playing the piano?"

"Let's go over and see. ”

Following the sound of the piano, they found a young man of twenty-seven or eight years old under the ancient pine on the top of the mountain, dressed in plain clothes, who looked like a wandering monk.

Su Lingxi thought that he should be a nerd, so he bowed solemnly and asked, "May I ask this gentleman, do you know where this Wa Palace is?"

The man's hand stroking the qin stopped, raised his head and glanced at Su Lingxi and Su Jue, then closed his gaze, and continued the unfinished song just now.

Su Ling, who was rarely cold, took a few steps forward and asked loudly: "This is a matter of human life!

"Can you hear this tune?"

"We're not deaf, of course we can hear!"

After hearing this, this person actually put away the yaoqin and was about to leave.

"Eh, what's the matter with you, I answered your question, but you haven't answered me yet, where is the Wa Palace, do you know it?"

"It's time to be ugly tonight, you guys are waiting for me here. ”

"What are you waiting for?"

The young Qin bag walked a few steps before saying, "Aren't you going to the Wa Palace?"

"You mean, you can take us there?"

The young man did not speak, but carried the harp on his back and went down the mountain.

The climate in the mountains is changeable, and it rained heavily when it was sunny just now.

Luckily, Meng Qingque saw that the inn in front of him had only received the magic barrier to resist the rain, but this place was close to the top of the mountain, how could there be an inn? After receiving the doubts in his heart, Meng Qingque buckled the door.

"Is Childe going to stay overnight?" opened the door to a little girl with plain makeup.

"That's right, yes, it's raining on this good day, look at me. ”

"The wind and rain in the mountains are really unpredictable. ”

"Are there any vacancies here?"

The little girl nodded, "There are always not many customers in the shop, and there are many vacant rooms, so it's good that the son doesn't dislike the rudeness of the countryside." ”

"I'm used to walking all over the country, it's okay, it's okay. Meng Qingque said and stepped into the store.

"There's no business here, so please go out. The person who spoke was drenched, and he was sitting beside a few cases carefully wiping a yaoqin, and he was the young man Su Jue and Su Lingxi had just met.

"What does it mean to not do business?"

The little girl listened and hurriedly continued: "The little girl's name is Li Luo, this is my brother Yize, just because my brother Xijing has never liked to be disturbed by people, and I ask my son to forgive me and not take it seriously." ”

Curious, Meng Qingque walked over and sat down opposite the person, stroked the headstock and pressed the body.

The young man asked, "Do you really want to stay?"

"So what?"

Yi Ze raised his head and looked at him, and only said for a long time: "That's all for you, please do your own thing." ”

"This ......" Meng Qingque touched the lacquer surface and praised it sincerely: "It's really a good piano." ”

Yi Ze's eyes froze for a moment, and then he went upstairs with the piano in his arms.

"My brother is so natural, I'm really sorry. ”

This inn is weird, and when I tried it, I felt that the young man was aura, definitely not an ordinary person, could it be a mountain spirit? Or is it related to the Nuwa Divine Realm?

Looking back at Li Luo's face with a shameful face, Meng Qingque had no choice but to pretend not to care and asked, "Does Brother Ling like to play the piano very much?"

"Well, that piano is like my brother's life, and he will only be in a better mood if he plays the music day and night. ”

"Oh, he's just having fun, and he calls you a girl's family to come and support the family?"

"This ......" the little girl frowned a little embarrassed, "Childe, please come with me, although the shop is remote, it is still very clean, you must live comfortably." ”

"Girl, ask about something, do you know where the Wa Palace is?"

"Wa Palace?" Li Luo's pace slowed down, and immediately replied: "That's just some unfounded legends, Wa Palace has long ceased to exist, even if I grew up here, I have never seen it." ”

Since they have never seen it, how can they conclude that it does not exist? The two siblings must have something to hide, or they will find out tonight.
