Chapter 5 Wei Hua's musical talent
It was another busy day, Qi Lu asked, "Beauty, have you finished painting?" ”
"Alright." Ding Xiaolan handed the piece of paper she had just drawn to Qi Lu.
"That's what you painted? It looks like the painting is out of shape. Qi Lu looked at the monster drawn on Ding Xiaolan's paper after taking it, and couldn't help frowning.
"That's what it looks like, and I'm painting it as it is."
Lao Wu poked his head over and looked at it, smiled and said, "It's really a monster, I haven't even seen it." ”
Ding Xiaolan drew a monster, and she also drew two forms of this strange bird on paper.
One form is the strange bird crouching on the tombstone, it resembles a pheasant, but the neck and tail are very long, and on the surface, it does look a bit like a phoenix.
But another form painted by Ding Xiaolan makes people realize that this strange bird is not a phoenix. This form is the scene of the strange bird flying, its wings are spread out, very strange wings, wide and thick, and two pairs of wings, they are almost connected, and the wings on the front chest are noticeably much larger than the pair on the hind belly.
Qi Lu couldn't help but frown again and said, "Although some divine birds also have two pairs of wings, the wings of the birds in the painting are so weird that it is almost impossible to appear in reality. Beauty, this can't be your imagination, right? ”
"You're just imagining it! It's the strange bird I saw in the mass grave! Ding Xiaolan saw that Qi Lu didn't believe himself a little, and replied angrily.
Lao Wu suddenly said, "Don't you think it looks like a butterfly's wings?" ”
Hearing him say this, Qi Lu noticed that if the two pairs of wings were connected, they were really a little similar to butterfly wings.
"A strange bird with butterfly wings?" Qi Lu still wanted to make a joke, but he couldn't help but shudder.
Lao Wu said: "Don't drill the tip of the horns, if this bird is a ghost, it can transform into all kinds of strange shapes." ”
Qi Lu looked at him and stopped talking. He admits that Lao Wu's inference is very reasonable, but he always feels that something is missing.
Lao Wu said again: "What I can't figure out is, why can't Wei Donglin see this strange bird, but Xiao Ding can? And how can this strange bird not show up last night? ”
Ding Xiaolan said angrily: "Do you think I am hallucinating?" ”
"That's not what I meant." Lao Wu hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't you think it's strange, the strange bird only appears in front of you, does it indicate some kind of mystery that we don't know yet?" ”
Ding Xiaolan was speechless for a while, she was not as far-reaching as Lao Wu thought.
Qi Lu nodded approvingly, this was also the question in his heart, he really wanted to see this strange bird in person and see what it looked like.
It seems that in order to solve this mystery, you still have to find the answer from Wei Donglin, so Qi Lu said to Lao Wu: "Have you brought everything with you?" ”
Lao Wu nodded and raised the bag in his hand.
"Then let's go to Wei Donglin's house, maybe we can get some useful clues."
So Lao Wu drove them to Wei Donglin's house.
Still the same as last night, Qi Lu failed to find any supernatural aura in Wei Donglin's house.
They tossed around the house, waking up Wei Hua, who was sleeping lazily, and he ran out angrily and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
Wei Donglin said with a smiling face: "The house is a little unclean, I asked this Master Qi to exorcise evil spirits." ”
"Dad, how many times have I told you, don't believe these superstitious activities!"
Qi Lu was stunned for a moment, Wei Hua's tone made him involuntarily think of Liu Chenfei. Ding Xiaolan smiled disappreciatively and greeted Wei Hua: "Xiaowei, didn't you go out to play today?" ”
"Sister Ding, you're here too." Seeing Ding Xiaolan, Wei Hua's face softened a lot. They all grew up in this neighborhood, and when Ding Xiaolan was a child, he had a wild personality, and he took Wei Hua to dig bird eggs in the mountains and forests. Although the two don't have many opportunities to meet as adults, their relationship with each other is relatively good.
"He's my boss Qi Lu, and he's a very powerful person." Ding Xiaolan enthusiastically introduced him.
Wei Hua's face flushed slightly, and he went to the refrigerator to get a drink to hide his embarrassment.
After he gave Qi Lu a bottle of drink for each of them, in order to make up for the faux pas just now, he casually asked, "What kind of business does Boss Qi do?" ”
Qi Lu was not polite at all, he said straight to the point: "I am a cultivator, I know a little about spells, and the business that the company takes over is also to exorcise evil spirits and avoid evil." ”
"Oh." Wei Hua's face turned a little red again.
"Can I ask you some questions?"
Hearing Qi Lu ask him, Wei Hua hurriedly shook his hand and said, "If it's a ghost, a god, or something like that, you should ask my dad, I don't know anything." ”
"Of course not." Qi Lu smiled slightly and said, "I heard that you can play the guitar?" ”
"Yes."
"Can you play a song for us?"
"Okay, Boss Qi, Sister Ding, come to my room."
Novices who practice musical instruments are eager to gain everyone's approval, and Wei Hua is no exception, but he didn't know that this was Qi Lu's improvised idea when he saw Wei Hua's prejudice against him, so as to shorten the distance between them.
Wei Hua picked up the electric guitar and adjusted the strings, then connected the speaker and began to pluck the strings flexibly with shrapnel, and the roaring music suddenly came out of the speaker.
Qi Lu couldn't help but be taken aback, although he was not very interested in music, but from Wei Hua's fast fingering, it could be seen that this was a professional guitar strumming, which completely shook off ordinary novices by several grades.
"Chrysanthemum ancient sword and wine, soaked in coffee into the hustle and bustle of the pavilion. Alien races worship the ancients and the moon at the Temple of the Sun, and the grand event of Kaiyuan is fascinating"
Wei Hua began to sing, revealing a hint of indulgent wildness in his high-pitched voice.
Qi Lu has always been repulsive to this kind of roaring rock music, but because he took the initiative to ask Wei Hua to play the guitar, he had to listen patiently to Wei Hua finish singing this song.
Ding Xiaolan is the opposite of Qi Lu, she seems to be infected by this fast-paced heavy metal music, and she is gently shaking her body to meet the beat, with a look of intoxication on her face.
"Is this the generation gap?" Qi Lu secretly said a sentence and quietly listened to Wei Hua finish singing this song. In a trance, he suddenly felt that Wei Hua's figure was a little blurry and unreal, his face was changing, Qi Lu squinted his eyes and tried to identify it, but he saw another face from his face.
It was a woman's face, a face that he would never forget. The cold air immediately rose from the soles of his feet and quickly spread to the top of his head, and in the blink of an eye, Qi Lu's whole body was soaked with cold sweat.
Just when Qi Lu was about to cry out in a lost voice, Wei Hua had already finished playing and singing the song, and his figure instantly became clear in Qi Lu's eyes.
"I'm okay with it, right?" Wei Hua is asking for everyone's opinions.
"It's a great game, why didn't I discover your musical talent before?" Ding Xiaolan praised from the bottom of her heart, and at the same time secretly pushed Qi Lu with her hand.
Qi Lu suddenly came back to his senses, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Actually, I'm not very interested in this type of music, but judging from your playing skills, your guitar skills are very skilled." ”
"Really?" Wei Hua laughed happily.
"What kind of ghost music is this" Lao Wu muttered quietly, he was more disgusted with rock music than Qi Lu, but when he saw Ding Xiaolan staring at him viciously, he immediately stopped talking.
Qi Lu asked: "You play the guitar at a very high level, have you practiced for a long time?" ”
"It's not long, it's only been more than three months."
"What, three months?" Ding Xiaolan exclaimed: "Xiaowei, you can reach this height in this short time, what a musical genius!" ”
"Sister Ding, don't hurt me." Although Wei Hua's words were modest, he couldn't hide the smugness on his face.
Qi Lu said: "You can have such an achievement in three months, you really should be praised, you must have suffered a lot, right?" ”
"yes. I practice at home for at least four or five hours a day, and I rehearse with the band in the evenings. Wei Hua showed them the cocoons on his fingers, which were the sequelae of hard work.
"Ah, you have to pay attention to your body, you can't let yourself suffer for the sake of practicing." Ding Xiaolan was a little distressed.
"It's okay, after practicing for a long time, my fingers can't stand it and just soak in hot water."
"You can really endure hardship!" After Qi Lu praised him, he then asked: "I still have to rehearse at night, are you preparing to perform on stage?" ”
"Pretty much, our band rehearses and works in a bar and performs for the guests."
"That's a good thing, you guys sing in that bar?"
"Moon Dream Bar."
Qi Lu was stunned again, he knew that this bar was very famous in the city, and there were often rock bands performing there, so it attracted many rock fans to go to the bar to drink and watch performances. Sometimes the music went too far, and there were a few riots.
It was a bar that opened late at night, and it was a mixed place, and if there were evil things mixed in, Qi Lu didn't dare to continue thinking about it.
"Sister Ding, if you have time to go to the bar to watch my performance, the drinks will be mine." Wei Hua sent her an invitation.
"Okay, we'll go!" Before Ding Xiaolan could agree, Qi Lu was already full of promises. Then he smiled and said, "Since we are going to cheer you on, how can we let you have a treat?"
"How can this work, Sister Ding used to be very good to me, you have to give me a face."
"It's okay, you're welcome the first time. If you don't want to go, just come over and have a few drinks with us after the performance. ”
"Yes." Ding Xiaolan also said: "Xiaowei, don't come to fashion and don't know us." ”
"Well, you have to come." Wei Hua had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
Ding Xiaolan still wanted to talk to Wei Hua about family affairs, but when she saw Qi Lu signaling with her eyes, she knew that he was ready to leave, so she stood up and said goodbye to Wei Hua under the pretext that the company was still busy.
Before leaving, Qi Lu and Lao Wu posted a few spirit talismans at Wei Donglin's house, and repeatedly warned Wei Donglin not to remove these talismans easily.
Because these are some spiritual talismans to ward off evil spirits, and they are attached to the door of death, which has the effect of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, and restraining ghosts.
Although Qi Lu hadn't figured out the cause of the dead qi on Wei Donglin's Seal Hall, with these few talismans, he could at least ensure that he would not be disturbed by evil spirits for a short time.
