The scorching sun of the West Pole soared into the air with four hooves, striding in the dark wind and sand.

I don't know how it recognizes the direction, and it always moves quickly in one direction. The snow river was blown by the wind and sand, and its ears were filled with wind and sand, so he could only curl up on the horse's back, loosen the reins, and hold the saddle tightly with both hands and let it gallop freely.

The horses' hooves tread on the soft sand dunes, and their hooves were as steady as they were walking on the ground. It is said that the old horse knows the way, and the scorching sun in the West Pole is transformed by ancient spirit beasts, which is naturally more extraordinary; Soon he led her to a barren hill, and then slowly stopped her steps and hissed at the sky.

Xue He straightened up, only to see a narrow and deep rift in front of him, unable to see the beginning and the end, and the bottom could not be seen at a glance, as if the desert had been torn out of a deep scar.

Seeing that it was not leaving, Xuehe climbed down from the high horse, took the reins, and approached the edge of the ghost valley to take a closer look. The ground beneath his feet was cut open like a knife, and the cliffs were very steep; It's a bit like a riverbed in the dry season, with a width of about 100 zhang and almost no shore, and a horse can almost jump across it at its narrowest point.

The sand wind poured into the valley, making a ghost-crying wolf-like sound, sometimes grand and sometimes sharp, coupled with the hollow valley supplemented by echoes and agitation, it is not difficult to understand the name of "ghost valley".

It's really funny!

Xue He listened with interest for a while, and secretly sighed in his heart: There is such a magical place in the mortal world! This wonder is never seen in the Heavenly Palace!

Filled with curiosity, she led the horse slowly on for a while, and suddenly a gentle slope like a breach appeared in front of her, and she carefully descended the slope to the bottom.

The situation down there is very different.

If it's a clear night, the night sky above your head is like a river of stars, it must be beautiful.

After gradually getting used to the darkness at the bottom of the valley, Xue He realized that the bottom of this ghost valley was actually mostly flat, as wide as a street market, and there were craggy strange rocks on the left and right, like the silhouettes of buying and selling shops - no wonder the Hundred Ghosts Rally at the opening of the market every seven days chose such a place, which was really suitable!

There was a sudden silence in my ears, and the noisy wind and sand were all isolated a few feet above my head, as if I was in an empty underground corridor.

Xuehe took a deep breath, the dry air was filled with a faint earthy smell, with the unique coldness of Mobei night, but it made people feel very comfortable. The huge ghost valley was unexpectedly empty, and in addition to being depressed, Xuehe's spirit was also relaxed.

I can't help but look forward to it, if it is the day of the opening of the market, I don't know what a lively and prosperous scene it will be! It's a pity that she hasn't seen it yet, so she can only silently imagine in her heart what the Chinese lantern of the Silent Empty Valley looks like when it first comes on:

Under the big red lantern of the demon Ye, there are beautiful and delicate female ghosts, frequently waving to seduce passers-by; On both sides are the shops with endless shouting, all kinds of delicacies are steaming and fragrant, and the people are crowded......

If you have a chance in the future, you must grind the fourth brother and bring yourself to visit!

It's strange to say, after walking for so long, there is not even half a ghost shadow in the huge ghost valley, and not even half of the yin and evil qi - is it possible that the banshee got the fairy spirit of the fourth brother, and immediately flew away?

Wouldn't that be bad?

was thinking wildly, and suddenly there was a gust of demonic wind in front of him. The scorching sun of the West Pole suddenly stopped, raised his head, and watched vigilantly. The snow river was defenseless, and even the reins were almost broken free by it.

She turned around and tugged the reins, but the four hooves of the scorching sun in the West Pole were like roots, and they refused to take another step.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a melodious sound from the depths of the valley.

The timbre is extremely beautiful, mellow and full with a long aftertaste, and when you hear it, you can tell that it is an old object of some years, and it has been carefully maintained to this day.

However, if you listen carefully, the rhythm is really strange: sometimes low and mournful like crying, sometimes sonorous and frustrating can crack the golden stone, the tone change is very blunt, it is completely just to play wherever you want to go, as if a person who does not know what to say, which makes people confused and do not understand the point-

The sound of the piano is beautiful, but the one who plays the piano is not a madman, right?

Although Xuehe is not as proficient in music and rhythm as the fourth brother, after all, he also learned some fur from his father when he was a child, and he understands a little. She wrung her brows and listened patiently for a long time, but when she heard the sound of the piano, the melody suddenly changed, and the melody was as rapid as a shower, but the strings were already too high, and the tune was forcibly pushed forward and changed, just afraid that it would ......

Xuehe's heart tightened, and he was a little worried just now, but he only heard a crisp 'dang' sound, and the string broke.

She sighed silently in her heart: If you are too strong, you will not be able to last.

It was as if a soft sigh was heard. Xue He suddenly priped up his ears in vigilance and searched upward, and sure enough, on a boulder not far ahead, he saw a woman dressed in white like snow playing strings.

Snow River dropped the reins and walked over to the man.

Probably the strings broke suddenly, and the woman looked at the piano in a bit of a daze, and was a little stunned.

"Junxian is too high, and I am afraid that it is not worthy of the law of no shooting."

Xue He came close and said softly with a raised face.

The woman was born extremely beautiful, looking to be in her early twenties, with a snow-white complexion, and green and jade fingers pressed on the string; Seeing that someone was approaching to speak, he tilted his head, and looked at her with a pair of silver eyes as clear as a child:

“…… What did you say? ”

Xue He was stunned. For Yaoqin, an elegant thing, she thinks that she only knows a little bit of skin; I heard that the woman played it just now, although it was not a whole song, but it was enough to show that her skills were not shallow, and she didn't understand what she was talking about?

The woman's eyes flashed with immaturity that was extremely inconsistent with her appearance, and it didn't look like she was deliberately teasing her.

- This beautiful sister, I'm afraid she's not a fool, right?!

The corners of Xue He's mouth twitched, and he immediately changed his words and said in a different way: "Jun Xian...... Eh, it's because the string is too tight, and you play it urgently, so it breaks. ”

The woman suddenly realized, nodded as if she didn't understand, and pushed the piano on her lap forward, which means: You can do it, you come.

Xue He's whole face twitched.

It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, but Xue He still took the piano over in the end, sat cross-legged on the ground, and reconnected the broken strings.

The woman looked at her a little dazed, and said with a little shyness:

"The first time we met, I was tired of this girl."

Xue He laughed awkwardly: "Actually, I don't understand much, I don't mean to show off,...... See smiled. ”

I didn't want the woman to sigh lightly: "This string has to be broken several times a day, and I can't tell why." I'm not good at the piano just for fun, but it's always against me at every turn. ”

Xuehe connected the strings, and only then did he take a closer look at the body, the lines were beautiful and smooth, and the body exuded a faint fragrance, which was really well maintained, and its owner must have been an elegant person who often burned incense and stroked the qin.

Her fingertips gently stroked the body of the piano until she touched the word "cup of snow" on the tail of the piano, and her fingertips couldn't help shaking: Mom, isn't this the name of the qin demon that the fourth brother has in mind?

Looking at the strings carefully, the fine and dense traces of various wear and tear, sure enough, the strings are really broken in her hands and are the same as daily life - is this a grudge against the piano?

Xue He looked at her with a complicated expression. The woman has a good conversation, elegant temperament, and beautiful appearance can be described as stunning, standing with the fourth brother must be like a pair of beautiful people, a pair of talented and beautiful women.

That's the brain...... Isn't it, ahem.

Suddenly, I remembered that I had heard someone say before that if there is a created guqin and a spirit, most of them are beautiful and intelligent women; The seven strings on the piano represent the seven emotions and six desires of the qin spirit. If the string is broken, the guqin will lose its tone, the qin spirit will lose its memory, and the heavy will be confused, crazy, stupid and stupid.

Looking at her situation, I'm afraid it's not because of love, right?

The third brother mentioned that when the fourth brother said goodbye to the qin demon, he wrote poems on the wall and scolded others! Although Qin Ling is a demon, he must think very highly of himself, and he treats the fourth brother like a confidant, and secretly promises that he will probably really go crazy if he is humiliated like this, right?

Iniquity......

Xue He sighed in his heart.

She hadn't touched the piano for a long time, and she felt a little rusty. I plucked back and forth on the strings a few times, and when I heard the sound of the piano was very crisp and pleasant, I felt itchy for a while, and I couldn't help but play a song.

Xuehe has been impatient since she was a child, and her father taught her to play the piano in order to let her cultivate her temperament. However, she couldn't sit still at all, she always played a few times in a hurry to fool around, and often a stove of incense disappeared before it was burned, so so far there are only a few simple tunes, just enough to make do with the scene.

But Cup Xue listened very seriously, and there was surprise and envy in her eyes.

Changing people or occasions casually, Xue He will feel that the other party must be deliberately humiliating himself - this kind of entry-level trick, even playing a few wrong notes in the middle, and stumbling is not smooth enough, so can he praise it? It's like swearing.

"You're playing so well."

Cup Xue's eyes are full of sincerity, just like an ignorant little girl.

Xue He's heart is full of cows.

But she quickly sobered up from this false self-confidence and cut to the chase: "I'm far worse than the fourth brother." This fairy, I don't know if you have ever seen my fourth brother? He had been to the Ghost Valley in the afternoon and had never returned, and his family was very worried about him. ”

Cup Xue was stunned: "Is he a mortal?" What does it look like? ”

"Tall, very handsome, scholarly dressed in a blue-gray gown."

As she spoke, she pointed to the scorching sun behind her: "When you go out, ride this horse." ”

Mu Xue shook her head with some regret: "I rarely go out during the day, why don't I take you to ask my sister?" She called the clouds, she was the lord of the Ghost Valley, and she knew everything. ”

The lord of the Ghost Valley?

Xue He couldn't help but be surprised: Isn't the spirit of the piano score named Zhuyun already cultivated to the climate? The Ghost Valley is so big, I heard that there are countless ghosts and ghosts hiding here, could it be that they have all been subdued by her? …… Both sisters have a crush on my fourth brother, and they couldn't bear to fight each other at first, but then they turned against each other because of this?

Xue He's brain opened up for a while, and he said indifferently:

"Then, please ask the young lady to take me to ask."
