Four years ago, it was a night on the outskirts of Yisang.

"You saved my life again. ”

"Brothers don't talk about that. After Yanyu and I arrived at the agreed place, Jin Huang said that you went to the No. 17 Ring Tower, and I felt the need to pick you up. ”

"I owe you, go back. ”

“······ There you go. ”

"What do you mean, you're not going back?"

"Shan Huaiyan was looking for something, and the scroll he asked me to take from Yan Hong was one of them. I want to stay in Xiling and figure out what they're doing. ”

"Are you really going against the Xiling Empire? We're just two mercenaries who have lost their organization. What is Shan Huaiyan looking for, and what does it have to do with us?"

Shan Chenggang said that Shan Huaiyan's actions may change the pattern of the world, and no one can escape from it at that time. ”

"I know, I know, I can't change what you want to do. But how are you going? at least go back and say hello. ”

"Forget it, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear to leave when I see Yan Yu. Don't you owe me a favor, help me take care of them and take them to a safe place. Jin Huang wants to go back to Shaoyang, you pay attention, don't let her be too impulsive. ”

"Rest assured, I will take them to an isolated place where people will take care of them. ”

"Where?"

"My home. ”

"You actually have a home! I thought you grew up in corpses, just like me, hahaha. Wait a minute, you said the people there would take care of them, so where are you going?"

"I, I'm going to Shaoyang. ”

······

The snow in the middle of the night flooded the streets of Shaoyang. The doors and windows of every house were closed, and a few pedestrians wore coats and carried lanterns, and marched forward against the cold wind. At this time, only the tavern was still open in Shaoyang, and the mercenaries gathered around the wine table, half-napping, or drinking spirits without a bowl, chatting with the shopkeeper who was also fine. Strangely shaped weapons were poured on the wine table, and the wolf dog lay at his master's feet, gnawing on the remaining tendons on the ox leg bones. The caravan camels had long been accustomed to the wind and snow, munching hay in the stables in the backyard.

Such a night, such snow, like a huge hungry ghost, devouring the only remaining vitality and vitality in Shaoyang City.

"Qin" is the only shop in Shaoyang that sells musical instruments. Although vocal music has never been indispensable in the Jingchuan Palace, the Shaoyang people outside the palace walls have no interest in playing the piano. The owner seems to understand this, too, and therefore did not come up with a better name for the shop.

Four years ago, "Qin" opened silently one night. The first floor sells pianos, and the second floor lives people. Over the years, except for the musicians in the palace who often came to buy parts or repair the piano, the "qin" has not sold a single piano. And the shopkeeper didn't care, he continued to open every day, sitting at the counter on the first floor, making or repairing xylophones. The delicate technique and focused expression even the laymen of Shaoyang were amazed.

A mercenary kindly reminded him: "Shaoyang people can only strike iron, not play the piano, if you open a shop in Yisang, you will make a lot of money." Some shrewd businessmen offered to invite him to make a violin in his shop.

To this, the man's answer was as personal as his shop - "Not available." ”

People are curious about what the man relies on to sustain his life and the shop. Some people say that this little white face was kept by a noble lady in Jingchuan, some people questioned that he was the charm general of the Xiling Empire, and it was rumored that he was secretly doing murderous business······ All kinds of rumors, not long after they arose, were silent in the wind and snow of Shaoyang, and everything was the same. Strange or not strange is the ultimate truth in the world.

In short, this weird shop survived in Shaoyang. I don't know what this man's name is, some people call him "the luthier", some call him "the piano ghost".

On the second floor of the "piano", a man is removing the strings from an old and worn piano and connecting it to a new one. The old piano has a total of nine strings, and the surface of the body is covered with nicks and abrasion marks.

"Anger, pride, deception, mourning, selfishness, fear, wonder, desire, fall. "That's it, the man strokes his masterpiece, "Meet again, Nine Sins." ”

This person is the last member of the Reverse Yin Clan, Gan Sheng.

The Nine Sins Piano, the strings contain the nine souls, and the refining of the strings is harsh and cruel, so the strings are particularly precious. In contrast, the body has few requirements. In addition, the Nine Sins Piano is powerful, and the body is often impacted by sound waves and needs to be constantly replaced.

The candle flame shook gently, and the charcoal basin beside him exuded a dream-inducing temperature. Gan Sheng was dressed in a purple robe, his long hair was scattered, he lifted the wine jug and took a sip, and a pair of inhuman slender ears poked out of the scattered hair.

Whenever the moonlight falls, the past is like a wandering ghost, lingering in people's hearts. He always remembered that he was the last of the minstrins.

Legend has it that the Hindbard are the descendants of the ancient emperor bats and humans, and have a unique power of soul control, and belong to a branch of the spirit race. In ancient times, humans and monsters were the strongest, and the spirit race was weak and scattered. Three thousand years ago, humans and monsters launched a great battle, and the Spirit Clan chose to stand by and watch. Humanity is victorious, determined to rule out the alien and dominate the world. The Elves were banished from their original homes by humans and driven to desolate corners. However, as humans multiplied, the land needed by humans became larger and larger, and the spirits were expelled again and again. Sometimes, impatient humans will slaughter the spirits. In the Great Purge that lasted for thousands of years, some of the spirit races went extinct, and the Rebel tribe was one of them.

Gan Sheng grew up in a barren village in the mountains, and when he could remember, Jingchuan's army slaughtered the entire tribe. His mother hid him in a canal and saved him from death. At that time, his mother gave him the last of the Nine Sins. He carried a piano taller than himself on his back and walked out of the mountains on the corpses of his people. Later, he learned that his village was actually the last tribe of the Hindmind. In other words, he was already the last of the Hindminers.

He was later adopted by an old farmer. The old farmer has no name, and people call him Uncle Chen. Chen Bo lives in a sinkhole near Shaoyang. The sinkhole is hidden in the mountains and rivers, isolated from the world, and you need to walk up and down the boardwalk or zipline. Uncle Chen planted some food and herbs in the sinkhole, and occasionally went out to the sinkhole to Shaoyang to exchange supplies. In fact, the materials of the villagers in the sinkhole were all exchanged by Chen Bo's agent.

Gan Sheng regarded this as his home, but he never forgot how his original home was destroyed. It may be a secret place, but he can't just live his life peacefully. He said goodbye to Uncle Chen, put on the Nine Sins Piano on his back, walked out of the sinkhole, and joined the Jiyan Mercenary Group. Although he still doesn't know where he is going, being friends with death doesn't at least make himself too mediocre. What's more, he got to know the last soldier.

He owes the last soldier a life, so he agrees to help the last soldier solve the Yan Hong. The last soldier did it himself, he dealt with the guards outside the military account, and was in charge of the ban. Just as the last soldier came out, he saw a soldier fleeing in the distance, and an iron-bodied monster armed with a trident. He asked the last soldier what it was, and the last soldier said that it was poor Ying, and he wrote it down.

Gan Sheng remembered that when he was a child, the old people of the clan once told them: Once, there was a monster in the form of an iron body, with the soldiers of Jingchuan, broke into our homeland and slaughtered our people, starting the history of the suffering of our Hind tribe.

Is it Qianying? Is Shaoyang? Is Jingchuan true? After that, Gan Sheng understood what he should do.
