Chapter 10: The Red Moon Singer

The crisp and melodious singing accompanied by the lingering strings echoed in every corner of the lobby and wandered on every wall beam. After hearing this, many guests on the first floor closed their eyes and admired, showing different expressions, or smiling, contemplative, or low crying.

Li Taiyi felt distracted. He seemed to see himself as a child slowly, running and chasing with all kinds of beasts and birds of prey between the rolling 100,000 mountains, and Old Man Li stood on the far side of the mountain and watched......

Li Taiyi's forehead suddenly tingled, and there were faint signs of opening his eyes in the eyes of heaven. He hurriedly ran the Heart Sutra, and after guarding the emptiness of the Dao Heart, he looked around, only to find that most of the guests had empty eyes, obviously immersed in the music of the woman who was playing the qin.

Even Chu Lingyan stood still, and Li Taiyi called in his ear: "Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan?"

Chu Lingyan suddenly laughed: "Daddy, you said that Brother Taiyi agreed! Really, great......

Although Li Taiyi wondered what he had agreed to in Chu Lingyan's illusion, now was obviously not the time to ask this. He pointed at Chu Lingyan's forehead with two fingers, injecting a trace of pure spiritual power into Chu Lingyan's brain.

Chu Lingyan came to her senses, blushing and stammering, "I'm me, I didn't think about anything just now!"

Although Li Taiyi was puzzled by Chu Lingyan's reaction, he still said to Chu Lingyan: "This woman who caresses the qin is not simple, she has blessed a few traces of divine soul power in the sound of the qin, and ordinary monks with weak souls will fall into their own illusions, and they will wake up after a few hours." ”

"That's it, Brother Taiyi, let's go......" Chu Lingyan was a little worried when she heard that it was so dangerous.

"Hmm. Li Taiyi didn't want to stay long, "It's not good to stay here for a long time, it's better to leave early." ”

He took Chu Lingyan and walked towards the door.

As soon as he walked to the door, Li Taiyi heard a string sound again, and then a trace of spiritual power rippled through the screen and hit quickly. He protected Chu Lingyan behind him and smashed the attacking spiritual power with one palm.

"Childe is just going to leave after listening to the little girl's piano sound?" The woman behind the screen said softly, "Isn't the little girl's music satisfying Childe? Why don't you come upstairs and let the little girl play the piano for you alone?"

The woman's voice was extremely pleasant, and it was indescribably fresh and comfortable.

"Don't bother you, Miss," Li Taiyi took out a hundred lower-grade spirit stones from the ring and put them on the jade plate held by the maid who was indulged in the music. "It's good, but it's not worth losing your life for it. ”

The woman lamented and stroking the harp again: "

Jiu Wan Fang Fei Lan Pei is good. There is no one in the empty valley, and I complain about myself. Bao Se Ling Ling is in tune for the ages, and Zhu Si has few broken souls.

I am growing old. The water is full of Tingzhou, where to find fragrant grass. evoke the tired song of Hunan is not over. The stone dragon dances and the pine wind dawns. ”

She sang so poignantly that even Li Taiyi was somewhat moved by compassion, stopped walking towards the door, and quietly listened to her finish singing this song.

When the last string of the woman's strings dissipated from the beam, Li Taiyi said to her: "I have never heard a more moving sound than the girl's music, but there is still important things to do, and he will meet again one day." ”

After saying that, he bowed again, and took Chu Lingyan out of Yihong Courtyard.

The woman stared at Li Taiyi's departing back for a long time, gently held her cheeks with her jade hand, and sighed: "What an interesting person~"

The air suddenly fluctuated, and an old woman came out of the void and said to the woman, "Miss, everything is ready." ”

"Got it. The woman carelessly trimmed the nails on Xiuyu's hand, "Kill everyone who knows about it." And also... Well... By the way, help me investigate someone. ”

"Yes. ”

"Huh~" finally came out, Chu Lingyan looked at Li Taiyi worriedly, "I'm really afraid that Brother Taiyi will stay there forever." ”

"How so. Li Taiyi laughed awkwardly twice, after all, he did have a feeling of joy when he heard the woman stroking the piano.

Li Taiyi looked up at the sky, it had gradually darkened, and the sun slowly set on the distant mountain, sprinkling colorful golden light on all kinds of neighborhoods.

"It's not too early, it seems that we can only find a random guest house. Li Taiyi sighed, "Xiao Yan, it's all my fault, I would have known that I wouldn't go to that Yihong Courtyard." ”

"It's okay, Brother Taiyi. Chu Lingyan replied obediently, "It's actually the same wherever you live~"

Li Taiyi looked at the daughter of the Chu family, who had no eldest lady fan at all, and his good impression of Chu Lingyan deepened a lot.

The two of them walked to a guest house, took out the token and ten lower grade spirit stones, and said to the owner of the inn, "Arrange two good rooms, and have some more things to eat." ”

After seeing this token, the boss hurriedly put away the spirit stone respectfully, and then said embarrassedly: "This son, there are quite a few small shops of fresh meat and wine, but they are just ........"

"Huh?

"It's just this room, only the last one left. In the past two days, because of the Tianxuan Conference, monks from all over the country have poured into the national capital, and the rooms of the small shop have been occupied by guests from all walks of life earlier. The owner of the guest village smiled bitterly.

"That's it~" Mrs. Li thought for a while, "That's fine, just live in a room." ”

"Ah!" Chu Lingyan's face turned red again, how can this work, if she lives in a house with Brother Taiyi, will you... Don't... This... Do you want to say yes......

Li Taiyi felt that there was nothing wrong with the two of them living together, after all, if there were any changes in the living close, it would be good to take care of each other. And he has stayed in the cave with Old Man Li for six years since he was a child, and naturally he doesn't understand the so-called "men and women don't kiss each other".

"Ling Yan, what do you think?" asked Li Taiyi, turning around.

"Ahh......h In fact... Whatever... I don't care... If Brother Taiyi must want it... Then I'll do it too..."Chu Lingyan was nervous and even spoke intermittently.

"So be it. Li Taiyi said to the boss.

The owner of the guest village led the two of them to a guest room, and the wall was carved with a soundproof spiritual array. After he recorded the spiritual power of Li Taiyi and Chu Lingyan into the formation on the gate, he said to the two:

"If you two need to eat, there's a restaurant downstairs. Guest officer, please take care of yourself. ”

Li Taiyi nodded to him and went to the restaurant with Chu Lingyan.

After Xiao Er brought the two into the seat, he handed them a menu and said, "Guest officer, these are the signboards of our store, and I guarantee that you will be satisfied." ”

Mrs. Li glanced at the menu, which was full of expensive items. Good food and wine, but it is nothing to Li Taiyi, who still has 100,000 spirit stones. After he drew a tick under the three-hearted chicken, purple mountain mushroom, Nanhe beef, and Tianshui pig, he took out dozens of spirit stones and gave them to Xiao Er, asking him to serve all the dishes.

I have to say that the craftsmanship of the store is still very good, the meat of a plate of three-hearted chicken is tender and delicate, and the Li Tai is full of fragrant food. Even Chu Lingyan, the eldest lady of the Chu family who has eaten all the delicacies, also eats gently.

Just as Li Taiyi was feasting, he saw several monks sitting on the table next to him and Chu Lingyan with a big grin, the man led by him was wearing an ink-colored animal skin, with his chest and breasts exposed, and a token hanging from his waist was engraved with the big golden characters "Baiyan." ”

These should be the players from Baiyan City who came to participate in this Tianluo Conference, Li Taiyi thought in his heart.

Those few people shouted for Xiao Er to order, and talked loudly around the table: "Boss, have you heard? This Tianxuan Conference, our Holy Son of the Red Moon Empire will also participate. ”

"Isn't this nonsense?" the monk at the head slapped the man who spoke, "Do you think the Empress will spend spiritual power on us subordinates to perform spiritual empowerment? Clear-eyed people know that the strength of the Holy Son is not comparable to us foreign monks at all, and the champion this time must be this Holy Son. What kind of good thing is such as the empress personally giving spiritual empowerment, let's not think about it. However, if we can perform better at the Tianxuan Conference, and mix with a senior such as the Marquis General to help us carry out spiritual empowerment, we will have a bright future in the future. ”

"Still. He suddenly became serious, "Listen, if anyone sees that holy son, no matter what, he who wants to live will kneel down and beg for mercy." Don't have any conflict with him, you can't even look at it!"

"So serious?" asked his companion in confusion, "And what does this Holy Son look like?"

"Uh......" he hesitated, "it is rumored that he didn't want people to see his face, so everyone who saw his face died, so I don't really know what he looked like." But that Holy Son is really terrifying, not only is he powerful and has a strong background, but he has killed countless people, you all have to keep your eyes on it, if you have a conflict with someone, you must ask about the background and understand. ”

His henchmen nodded their heads.

Li Taiyi frowned and thought: "I didn't expect that there was such a person in this Red Moon Empire, and I didn't know how strong this so-called Holy Son was, and his reputation was so great." ”

"By the way, boss," one of the monks at the table in Baiyan City said, "Have you heard? There is a Yihong Courtyard near here, I heard that there is a singer who has come recently, who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is a must for playing the qin and singing, should we ......

The leader of the crowd slapped him again: "Damn, you mourning broom star, which pot you don't open and which pot you don't mention." This Yihong Courtyard is even more evil. ”

"I'll tell you," the man lowered his voice a little, "that the singer of the Yihong Courtyard sings only once a day. Because of the excellent singing, it gradually became famous, attracting many dignitaries and dignitaries. But the strange thing is that this Yihongyuan waited for the woman to sing, and she actually had to receive a tune of 100,000 spirit stones!"

"One hundred thousand!" the people around them all exclaimed, "Why don't you rob this?"

"I think so too," the leader continued, "but the strange thing is that all the people who have listened to her songs have willingly squeezed out 100,000 spirit stones to give her, and even the next day they brought a large number of spirit stones rain or shine, just to listen to her song." How could ordinary nobles afford such a huge consumption, and many of them even sold their family property. Even some young masters have been reduced to the point of begging on the streets. Because they couldn't hear the woman's singing, there were not a few noble children who committed suicide. ”
