Bai Yi and Lan Xin chased the twelve demon wolves out of the restaurant, the sound of the fight gradually faded away, and the restaurant instantly quieted down.

"Ning'er, leave here with me." After Xuan Qi finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to grab Ji Qianning's thin waist, performed light skills, and flew towards the restaurant.

"Whoosh......" A dart flew in front of Xuan Qi's eyes, he leaned back, turned around in the air, and landed in the hall with Ji Qianning in his arms. Xuan Qi was too concerned about Ji Qianning's safety, and he didn't notice the fleeting wisp of green smoke carried by the dart.

"Why rush to leave?" In front of him, a red-robed man wearing a golden mask vaguely saw an evil smile on his lips, the man sat on a chair, playing with the wine cup in his hand, and behind him stood more than a dozen killers wearing ghost masks.

"The third prince of the western corner, hehe." Xuan Qi swept his cold eyes at the person in front of him, and he guessed who the person was, "This trick is very good for moving the tiger away from the mountain." The tone was full of sarcasm.

"It's over." The man in red leaned back lazily in his chair, "Leave the woman next to you to keep you safe." ”

"Really? My people, you want to snatch it too? Xuan Qi's whole body was full of anger, and his tone was extremely cold.

"Huh?" The man in red stretched out his hand forward, and the killer behind him instantly forced Xuan Qi and Ji Qianning.

"Trust me?" Suddenly, Xuan Qi lowered his head and met Ji Qianning's gaze.

"Hmm." Ji Qian stared at the man in front of her, although his eyes were extremely cold at this time, but the moment she looked at her, she clearly felt the tenderness that flashed in his eyes. At this time, she did not have the slightest fear in her heart, and she believed the person in front of her for no reason.

"Hold me tight." Xuan Qi said, one hand tightly hugged Ji Qianning, the other hand spread straight out, a gust of wind blew the placket of the two of them, he got up and fell, and instantly became entangled with the ghost-faced man, and the whole action was done in one go.

These people have touched Xuan Qi's bottom line, he is not a good person, if someone challenges his bottom limit, he doesn't mind letting them die without a place to be buried. Xuan Qi didn't hold any sharp weapon in his hand, turned his palm into a sword, and the move was fatal, and after a while, the ghost-faced people with heavy weapons in their hands fell down one after another, and the ground was blood-red.

Suddenly, Xuan Qi's heart ached suddenly, his body was slightly unstable, he tried to move his fingers, but he couldn't use the slightest strength.

"What's wrong?" Ji Qianning noticed his strangeness and asked with concern.

"No problem." Xuan Xuan used his internal force to secretly stabilize his mind, he guessed that he was poisoned, it is rumored that the third prince of the West Corner is famous for his strange poison, he was careless for a while, and he didn't find out a bit, Xuan Qi laughed at himself in his heart. He knew that he couldn't stay for a long time at this time, so he tried his best, lifted the last trace of internal strength, and flew away with Ji Qianning in his arms.

The man in red looked at the two people who left, but did not chase after them, and the corners of his mouth raised a touch of evil intent: "The show has just begun." ”

……

About two miles to the west is a wooded area, with lush trees that shade most of the sunlight, and it is so gloomy that the locals rarely enter it, and over time, many people forget where it is.

Xuan Qi hugged Ji Qianning, and because of poisoning, he fell into this forest by mistake.

Xuanqi ninja spurted out of his chest, grabbed Ji Qianning's shoulders, stared at her eyes and said, "There shouldn't be anyone chasing here, you stay well, I'll pick you up later." ”

Ji Qianning looked at him and nodded: "Where are you going?" ”

"When I take care of the business, I will come and pick you up and wait for me."

"Don't leave me, it's scary here, you'll be back, right?" Ji Qianning stared at Xuan Qi's gaze and asked.

"I won't leave you."

"I'm waiting for you to come back."

Xuan Qi glanced at Ji Qianning deeply, and slowly left, Ji Qianning looked at his back, inhaled his inexplicably sour nose, and murmured: "I'm waiting for you to come back." ”

Xuan Qi took heavy steps, he felt that his legs were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and the time seemed to be a long, long time, when he was sure that he was far enough away from Ji Qianning, he suddenly couldn't support it, and held on to a tree beside him, his body trembled violently, and the long-term forbearance made his physical strength exhausted to the extreme. Suddenly, he spat out a large mouthful of black blood, his eyes went black, and he fell down heavily.

"Ning'er, forgive me, I can't let my beloved woman see me fall." Before he lost the last shred of consciousness, he muttered.

……

Ji Qianning has been staying in the woods waiting for Xuan Qi's return, but there is no trace of him. I don't know when the fog started, and she wanted to go out but couldn't find the direction, so she fumbled for a tree and sat down against it.

The blurred world was silent, and Ji Qianning waited like that. For a long, long time, the fog dissipated, and Ji Qianning stood up happily, but saw the last ray of sunlight leave the earth, and the wings of the night covered everything. Ji Qianning turned around twice in place, but still didn't see Xuan Qi's figure.

"Xuan Qi, where are you?" Ji Qianning shouted, looking for Xuan Qi's figure everywhere. When people don't have a goal, they will always panic unconsciously.

The night was dark, and it was as black as ink, and there was not a single starlight in sight.

Fear rose in Ji Qianning's heart, and she swirled in a panic, and the unknown birdsong came into her ears from far and near, like a ghost at the moment, and beads of sweat flowed from her forehead.

She was originally a resolute woman, but there is always a boundary in everyone's heart, and when she is placed in a strange and gloomy environment for a long time, once the boundary in her heart is broken, her heart becomes fragile. At this time, she was only a fifteen-year-old girl.

"Xuan Qi, where are you? Come back soon! Ji Qianning's eyes flashed with tears, her tone was a little choked, she shouted into the distance, what she needed most now was someone by her side.

"Xuan Qi, where are you?" Ji Qianning's tone was almost pleading.

Suddenly, a pair of green eyes appeared in the night, Ji Qianning held her breath, and due to excessive tension, she clenched her fists and her shoulders trembled violently. She heard something in front of her grunt and move toward her.

The sweat on her forehead was getting more and more, and she forced the fear in her heart, lifted the hem of her skirt, and ran behind her. She panicked, tripped and fell after a few steps when she tripped over something unknown under her feet, hurriedly got up again, and continued to run, and when she was sure that what was behind her had not caught up, she gasped and sat down on the ground along a tree.

After calming down for a while, she felt a burning pain in her knees and hands. She didn't care about the pain, leaned against the tree behind her, hugged her shoulders tightly, bit her lip with her teeth, and two lines of tears slipped silently.

"Xuan Qi, you said you wouldn't abandon me." Ji Qianning bit her lower lip hard, her shoulders trembled, and she shrunk into a ball like that, like an outcast of heaven and earth.

"You said you'd be back." Ji Qianning hugged her shoulders tightly and kept repeating these two sentences. For a long time, perhaps because of excessive fear and exhaustion of physical strength, she fell asleep against the trunk of a tree, with wetness in the corners of her eyes.

Looking forward to the king's return, there is no return; Pear blossom noodles, who pity?

……

The next day, Ji Qianning opened her eyes and found herself in a strange environment, the person who was originally lost in the woods, lying on a bamboo bed at the moment, she raised her eyes to look around, through the white light veil in front of the bed, she saw that the furnishings in the house were all made of bamboo, simple but elegant.

Ji Qianning sat up: "What kind of place is this?" She stumbled upon a hand wrapped in gauze, and she picked it up, feeling suspicious.

Suddenly, the melodious sound of the piano reached her ears.

Ji Qianning was curious, got out of bed and walked slowly outside the house.

In front of her, there was a verdant bamboo forest, the breeze was blowing, the bamboo leaves rustled, and the birds were also singing in the forest, Ji Qianning closed her eyes and took a deep breath, she liked it here.

At this time, Ji Qianning noticed the person with his back to her in front of her, only to see the man dressed in white, sitting on the ground, a guqin in front of him, his hair loosely stopped behind his head, and the hair and placket that slipped off his temples could be vaguely seen floating in the wind, and his back looked dusty, like an immortal cultivating in Penglai Mountain. The man's slender fingers slid over the strings, playing a heavenly piano sound, Ji Qianning was a little surprised, she secretly sighed in her heart, this person's guqin attainment is so high.

"Emperor's Death." Listening to the sound of the piano, Ji Qianning couldn't help blurting out.

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and I saw a deep male voice coming: "The girl knows this song?" ”

"I've had the pleasure of hearing it a few times." I remember that at that time in Youlan Valley, she had heard her master often play this song.

"Girl, can you tell me about it?" The man said.

"It is rumored that this 'Emperor's Death' was created by the god of the ancient Si Yin, Si Yin fell in love with the god who dominated the life of the emperor in the world, but he did not want to be punished by the Emperor of Heaven, and the Emperor of Heaven took all the blame, and the Emperor of Heaven remembered his exploits to the Three Realms, so he punished him for the reincarnation of the lower world, and all the ups and downs of the emperors in the world. The god of sound looked at everything that the universe had experienced, but he couldn't do anything, so he created this ancient song. Although it is the voice of nature, it is full of pathos, who understands their pain and helplessness, I am afraid that only they know. Ji Qianning sighed deeply after speaking.

Legend has it that the emperor was killed by the god of Siyin, with a total of five chapters: heartless, bloodthirsty, defending the country, struggling, and breathing. The melodious and pathetic piano sound tells the different fates of the five emperors.

"Rumors are just rumors, after all."

"What's the rumor, there must be a reason for the creation of this world, and with such a touching and profound love as the source, I am afraid that the world will know its preciousness."

"As soon as the emperor died, it shocked Kyushu, but after all, few people in the world know this song, and it is really Ling who is fortunate to see the girl today. You're a friend, I'm done. The man said, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he got up and turned to look at Ji Qianning: "Miss Ji, meet again." ”

"We know each other?"

"The girl forgot, that day under the magnolia tree."

"It's you." Ji Qianning smiled at the man.

"Under Ling Chengzhi."

"Ling Gongzi just call me Xiao Ning."

…………

"Master, why did you let Ning Er learn this song of "Emperor"?"

"You have extraordinary qualifications, and you can understand the meaning of the teacher after listening to it a few times, which is your creation. Sometimes there must be in life, there are some things you will experience in the future, if it is in the future, Ning'er can find someone in this world to close this song, this person is your destined lover. ”

"Ning'er doesn't understand."

"When you grow up, you'll understand."

Ji Qian stared at Ling Chengzhi, who was like an immortal in front of her, and for a moment she wandered in Youlan Valley, a trace of ripples appeared in her heart, thinking of her master's words that day, she couldn't help but murmur in her heart: "My beloved, is it him?" He looked at the person in front of him, but Xuan Qi's face faintly appeared in his mind, she frowned, trying to erase the memory of the person left in his mind, at this moment, she hated him, she hated the person who did not keep his promise, he said that he would come back, but he abandoned her in the end.

Thinking of this, Ji Qianning looked at the person in front of him and tried to squeeze out a smile.
