Volume 1: Yellow Springs December Chapter 7: The sound of the piano is as promised

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

Ah Luan originally followed the sound of the piano to this place. But the voice stopped, and she didn't know where to go. Although the music was abrupt, it was not weird, and she only felt a lightness in her body and mind, without the slightest fear. With this calm heart, she cautiously searched the woods for clues. Soon, a faint light came from the depths of the woods, and she followed the path she could see.

Brushing aside the last bush in front of her, she saw the back of Shanhai.

"Mountain...... Ahh

She stopped.

What else is there.

Although against the light, she could clearly see his outline.

What skin is like clotted fat, what ice muscle and jade bones, Ah Luan can't think of these. She only felt that the life was as white as snow, not the miserable white of the demonic spirit, or the lifeless like the immortals, but with the temperature of a human being. In contrast, such a white robe lined with such a complexion is terrifying in the night. The open hem of his robe was embroidered with a light, azure satin, and the blue and white robe looked extremely light on him.

This person has a handsome face, and his short hair is tied to his forehead. He wore a scarf with an embroidered bottom like his clothes, and his long, thin hair like plum branches poured down.

It was obviously the beginning of summer, but there was a faint fragrance of plum in the forest. The rabbits, rats, and sika deer in the forest all gathered around him and leaned on him affectionately.

Looking at him, it is like being in a gentle cool stream.

However, his eyes were covered by a black satin.

Luan wasn't sure if the sound came from him.

Because there are no strings on the harp in front of him.

She believed she was not mistaken.

In her doubts, the musician suddenly looked at her, as if the veil did not exist. Even through the layer of black cloth, she seemed to be able to see from that leisurely demeanor, as if he had a pair of eyes as clear as melting snow.

Ah Luan grabbed the corner of Shanhai's clothes, and he looked at the other party quietly. The man looked sideways slightly, tilted his head, raised his hand through his long sleeves, and said in a flirtatious tone:

"Rin Dao Changjing took advantage of the night to take a walk, so big Yaxing."

"each other, I think you're a nuisance."

"Is that really the case?"

Ah Luan's eyes widened in surprise as if he saw the musician through the black satin, and his words were clearly full of innocence. He stretched out his arms and lifted them up, and the long sleeves of his coat hung down like water sleeves, like a little devil who wanted to frighten people.

"Don't tarnish people's innocence, I don't have hands, you can't be clearer."

"Who's playing the piano?"

"It's the wind, my trail chief, the wind."

When he raised his arms, Luan clearly saw that there was a small animal hidden in his lap where he was sitting and lying. Seeing that there was no cover, he drilled into the musician's clothes in a bit of a panic.

He ...... ...... the end?"

"Twilight Master, Polar Moon Monarch."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Jiyue-kun? ”

She seems to have heard that.

It is said that there are twelve ghosts in the world with different death periods, and they should not have been in the world - the six realms of impermanence. Their own spiritual power and longevity are far greater than ordinary people, but they are not ghosts and gods. They are outside the cycle of reincarnation, walking between the six realms, writing yin and yang, adjudicating life and death, and wandering the two worlds of man and demon.

It is the living dead and the dead living.

β€”Huangquan December.

"Change your name, the girl must know......"

"Severed Finger Piano Demon." Mountains and seas connect the road.

She remembered, she had heard the legend. The twelfth wanderer, who can breathe the heart, enslave a hundred ghosts, and shake the dead, is a musician who has "no hands under his sleeve and no strings on the piano" - as in all bedtime stories that terrorize naughty children.

It is the old man of the mountains and seas.

Besides, it was such an attractive faceβ€”she thought he really looked like a demon rakshasa as the legend suggests.

Ah Luan took a closer look and found that there was a sable lying in Jiyuejun's arms. She walked forward, and the mountains and seas followed.

Through the thin sleeves, Jiyue-kun gently rubbed its soft fur.

"It's a spiritual mink. He lived in the woods, and one day he got into a fight with a big yellow cat, and he killed the cat. Later, the wife of the cat went to the forest to look for it, thinking that it did not want to go back. Then she hid in the hollow of the tree, revealing a pair of eyes, and the woman mistook it for her cat, and left some food and left. Since then, it has given gifts to women every day, which can be regarded as repaying gratitude and apologizing. ”

"The old woman was very distressed by this, and hoped that she would not do it again." Shanhai said so.

"That's not going to work. Repaying kindness is like revenge, even the receiving party can't stop it. ”

Jiyue-kun showed a meaningful expression, and his long sleeves stroked the smooth body. Ah Luan felt that there was something in his words, but he couldn't hear anything when he thought about it.

"But, in the future, teach it to send some wild fruits. To man, dead things are indeed a little weird. ”

He said very easily, and Ah Luan looked sideways at the mountains and seas. Shanhai didn't speak, but looked at him quietly. In the light light, she saw that the eyes of the mountains and seas were like a quiet and deep pool, and under this tranquility, something else was quietly surging.

"Ah...... I almost forgot to get down to business. This thing is with you, and you take it. ”

Jiyuejun raised his sleeves and signaled, and another beautiful sika deer walked over from not far away. It lowered its head, and there was something on its horns, and a white silk ribbon like a ponytail hung down at one end. Shanhai stretched out his hands to take it and looked at it carefully.

"Isn't this the whisk I use in my view? What do I want it for? ”

"Self is useful."

Jiyue-kun covered his mouth with his cuffs and smiled slightly.

"That's what you're looking for me?"

Shanhai's tone was not annoyed, but he seemed to be sure that this person still had something to say, but he didn't like him to sell Guan Zi like this.

"Tomorrow, you go to the Yu'an Restaurant in the north of Huansha City, and by then, you will know what I have to say to you."

This conversation made Ah Luan listen to it in a muddy and foggy way. Until she woke up the next day, she couldn't tell whether the illusory scene of last night was a dream or not. It was only when she saw the dust in Shanhai's hands and the bunch of fruits as red as pomegranate flowers by the old woman's window that she emerged with a sense of disgrace across time and space.

"Let's go."

Shanhai packed his bags and stood at the intersection, facing the rising sun, the old smoke-white robe on his body faintly emitted golden light. Ah Luan rubbed his eyes in confusion, and then took steps to catch up.

They soon entered the city.

At noon, the streets are bustling with people, and small traders and vendors are all selling and shouting. Ah Luan feels that the scenery here is no different from that of Dailuan City, only the style of some small objects and small jewelry, which is slightly different from his hometown.

"You seem bored?" Shanhai asked.

"It's just...... It doesn't feel as novel as I thought. It's not much like what I've seen in the big bazaar. ”

"That's natural, the two cities are not too far apart."

Halfway through noon, the two came to the Yu'an Restaurant in the mouth of Jiyue Jun as promised. The restaurant is decorated in a magnificent manner, with carved beams and paintings, shining brightly under the high sun. This restaurant has four floors, and Shanhai stands downstairs straight, I don't know how many plates of tea money will be spent.

"It's worse than ours."

Ah Luan crossed his arms and commented, Rin Daochang rolled his eyes, and he really couldn't guess what medicine was sold in Jiyuejun's gourd. What's more, the people who come and go in this restaurant, both men and women, are a little fatty. Needless to say, this restaurant is probably also a little bit of a breath of color. Rin Shanhai, who considers himself a cultivator, really doesn't want to stand here, and when he looks at the stunned Ah Luan again, he is even more difficult.

At this time, Xiao Er at the door stepped forward.

"Dare to ask Your Excellency, is it the Daoist of the Heavens Pavilion?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Ah, exactly. ”

"Great, you, come up with me. Pei Yuan has been treating you for a long time......"

As he spoke, Xiao Er couldn't help but pull the mountains and seas and was about to go inside, and the other guy who came up was also behind to take advantage of Ah Luan. The two of them were coaxed into the restaurant in a daze. The girl who accompanied the wine in the store laughed and winked at Shanhai, and the maid reached out and pinched Ah Luan's face.

They were taken up to the third floor in a daze, and when the man opened a door, a strong smell of wine and rouge came to their faces. Surrounded by slender limbs and jade arms in the middle, it was a bloated and oily official master.

Temporarily talking about the appearance, Ah Luan can only think of the cow dung in the flower bed.

As soon as he saw the mountains and seas, Pei Yuanwai, who had just squinted like a big sloth bear, suddenly straightened up, widened his small eyes, and for a while his expression was complicated, with mixed feelings, he pushed away the girls around him, and shouted loudly:

"Immortal Chief, I can look forward to you Immortal Chief!!"

Good guy, that's all it takes to see your own father.

This battle frightened the mountains and seas, and Ah Luan also stayed in place, I don't know when the master recognized such a godson.

"Immortal Changgui's surname!"

Come on, where is there a son who doesn't know his father.

That being said. Pei Yuanwai quickly blasted away the servants and girls who were playing and singing, closed the door himself, and opened it again, so that the men could bring two more pots of good wine. After the two of them sat down and held it down, Pei Yuanwai cleared his throat and sat upright, revealing a little bit of the seriousness that an official should have.

Fortunately, Pei Yuanwailang has also read books, and his language expression is fluent, and he told them the cause and effect of the whole thing smoothly and smoothly. It is said that at night, there is a fairy with a dusty temperament floating outside the window, telling him that someone will soon solve his troubles. It would be a cultivator, holding a whisk in his hand, accompanied by a medicine boy carrying a small wooden box on his back. So he asked the shopkeeper to be at the door, and he insisted on guarding them for more than three days.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Shanhai felt that this whisk was a little hot.

"What are you talking about, how could an immortal show up on such an occasion?" Luan said as he picked up a snack.

"Little sister, you don't know, I was sleeping in this house at the time. Now, it's the bed, and the window over there. This is the third floor! ”

Pei Yuanwai said, holding up three fingers.

Shan Hai took a deep breath and put his hand on his forehead. Needless to say, they all know what kind of so-called immortals are - Jiyue-kun has really caused them a lot of trouble.

"That'...... What the hell are you bothered about? Shanhai picked up the teacup, remembered who didn't know who used it, and put it back.

"Alas, I won't tell you the truth, the imperial court sent me this time to solve the problem of food shortage in this city......"

"Food shortage? This...... It doesn't look like it. What's more, I haven't heard of any natural disasters in Huansha City recently, and even if there is, I have a Taoist priest ......"

"Eighty percent of it is a man-made disaster."

Ah Luan added. Pei Yuanwai patted the back of his hand and said angrily:

"Oh, little sister is so smart. However, this is not an ordinary man-made disaster, it is a demon disaster! ”

...... Demon Calamity?
