Chapter Forty-Eight: The Sound of the Piano
Ye Wuxian made preparations, turned around and looked, it turned out to be a man with a guqin on his back standing in front of him, somehow, he felt that this person looked quite strange, maybe this person had a cold chill on his body.
"Your Excellency?"
Upon hearing this, the young luthier's face turned cold almost instantly.
"Hmph, I should have killed you earlier, but I think that the song you sang just now is also a rare talent in the sound country, so I want to spare your life. ”
Ye Wuxian didn't expect that the other party would say this kind of thing as soon as he opened his mouth, so he held back a breath in his heart and asked, "I have a grudge against Your Excellency, why did Your Excellency say this?"
The man gently put down the guqin from his back and said indifferently: "Yes, today is the first time we meet, but I am entrusted by someone to come and kill you." ”
Ye Wuxian saw that this person didn't speak like a joke, so he asked: "Since you want to kill me, then you should also give me a reason, did you recognize the wrong person, I have no grudge against other people, why are you entrusted by someone to kill me?"
The man didn't speak, looked at Ye Wuxian fixedly, and looked at it carefully: "Well, you are an ordinary mortal, which is indeed a bit strange." ”
Ye Wuxian didn't know what he meant by this, and he was also cautious at the moment: "I am the walking hand-picked by Emperor Yin, you are good at killing the officials of the imperial court, are you not afraid of the laws of the imperial court?"
The man smiled, patted his palm lightly, revealing a piece around his waist, on which were tattooed with three guqins with silver lines, and then said to Ye Wuji: "Do you know what this logo is?"
The second monk Ye Wuxian was puzzled and asked, "This, you let me see this thing, I don't know what it means?"
The man said lightly: "It seems that you really don't know you, and you are not from Yinguo." After speaking, a cold light glanced at Ye Wuxian, and saw that Ye Wuxian's heart suddenly became cold.
Ye Wuxian forced his composure and said: "You suddenly let me see this thing, how can I recognize it at once, how can I conclude that I am not from Yinguo just by this sign, your words are too arbitrary." ”
The corner of the man's mouth twitched lightly and said, "Hmph, if other people say so, it's just a joke, and you are a student who has been in Qiankun Academy, and you don't even recognize the symbol of the inner courtyard?"
Ye Wuxian was shocked, this person said that he was a student of the Inner Court, then he must be a monk, but he didn't know what he meant by coming to him now, and his tone was strange.
The person in front of him looked at Ye Wuxian: "My country is about to fight with Tian Guo and other countries, you are a spy of unknown origin, it is better to confess as soon as possible, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin." ”
Ye Wuxian smiled bitterly: "I am a student of Qiankun Academy, and I have been appointed by the Emperor Yin, you, don't you know?"
The man looked at Ye Wuxian and said, "I have investigated your affairs very clearly, you are working as a luthier in the Yin Country Washi, mixing in that kind of hooked fence place, and later mixed into the academy with a little carving insect skills, this is just your luck." ”
Ye Wuxian didn't speak at this time, only to see that person suddenly opened the piano, sat cross-legged on the ground, stretched out his right hand, and began to play: "Since you are a student of Qiankun Academy, I won't let you be too ugly, listen to this song, if you can hear it, I will let you live." ”
Only now, Ye Wuxian realized that the other party wanted to kill him by playing the piano, and immediately stretched out his hand, slapped his sleeve and said, "Okay, then please." ”
The man suddenly flipped his fingers and played a tune, which was melodious and graceful, as if it were a woman's voice, and it was very pleasant to play in a man's hand.
Ye Wuxian listened to the tune, after a few notes, he heard that this was a flute music score, being able to play the flute with the guqin, it can be said that it is rare, this person is skilled in the piano, it seems that he does have deep skills and practice, after listening to it for a while, he couldn't help but say: "Good song, good song, beautiful woman looking far away, standing on the pavilion with the sound of the flute to miss her lover, the sound of the flute intermittently with the light wind intermittently, just like being blocked by floating clouds in the blue sky." ”
The man frowned, feeling that something seemed strange, and the sound of the piano stopped for a moment, but in a blink of an eye it began to play again, but the tune also changed.
"As the sound of the flute turns into a clear and peaceful, it is like entering the boudoir of a beautiful woman with the cold moonlight, but unfortunately the lover is in the future, although the flute is beautiful, just like the moonlight song played by the three princes in the music of the country and Korea, the elegance of this tune is more reminiscent of the words used in the flute of the college teacher. ”
Hearing this, the frost on the man's face rose suddenly, but he still gently stroked the piano and put away the sound, and the aftermath lingered, as if he was still unfinished.
Ye Wuxian continued: "After the flute is played, I don't know if the beautiful woman who played it is still on the painting floor, but the tactful flute seems to be still floating in the air and can't be dispersed for a long time. ”
"Can you hear the story in the song?" the man was taken aback.
Ye Wuxian nodded: "Well, it's a bit of a story, but I think the timbre of this guqin is low, it seems that this woman has a very tragic ending, I don't know if it's right or not?" After speaking, he glanced at the man in front of him.
When the man heard Ye Wuxian speak, he was stunned for a moment: "You, are you a human or a ghost?"
Ye Wuxian smiled slightly: "Of course I'm human." ”
The man slowly put the piano away: "Among the monks, although I am only a musician, after all, I have also practiced in the inner courtyard for more than half a year, and I didn't expect that the thoughts that can only be heard at the level of Lianyinbo can be seen through at once, but you are not a monk, this is really incredible." ”
Ye Wuxian didn't speak, just looked at him, and when he said this, his tone suddenly became cold: "I didn't want to kill you before, but now I feel that you will get in the way, I won't kill you now, but I want to take you to a place." ”
At this time, the man suddenly stroked his hand on the piano, and a magic sound came into Ye Wuxian's ears, Ye Wuxian didn't have time to speak, he suddenly buzzed in his ears, and then his eyes went dark, and he collapsed to the ground all of a sudden.
"Alas, it's just your bad luck, I'm a lover of talent, but now I'm having to take you where you're supposed to be. Saying that, the man sighed, held Ye Wuxian up, and muttered, "He can't even resist my demonic voice, will it really harm our big things, but since I have promised to take you to see him, then don't blame me." ”
After speaking, he put the piano on his back, took a slow breath, and in a blink of an eye, his whole body was shrouded in a layer of mist along with Ye Wuxian, and then in this thick mist, something seemed to have changed.
After a while, the mist dissipated, and both the man and Ye Wuxian disappeared without a trace at once.
