Chapter 244: Acacia on the Strings
In the Qingzhao Palace, Lin Yuelan's slender fingers lightly twisted slowly on the strings of the ice qin, and a fresh and sad song flowed out, jumping into the silent night, stirring up the night to be a little sad.
Xuan Mingzi held his cheek with one hand, and played with the ice jade chess pieces on the chess table where they had just finished a chess game on the table, and looked at him with pity on his little face, "The sound of the piano is very sad, the son of the world is thinking about the beautiful woman?" ”
Lin Yuelan ignored him and played by herself, as if he had melted into the strings at this moment.
"Are you missing Sister Yun'er?" Xuan Mingzi then added another sentence.
It wasn't until the whole song was finished that Lin Yuelan came back to her senses from the song, and her eyes glanced at Xuan Mingzi lightly, but she didn't make a sound.
Who can understand his mood at the moment? This pain of separation, the pain of bone-eating lovesickness, unless you really experience it, who can really feel it?
He could only resort to the sound of his piano, difficult to express in words, this pain was too deep and too heavy, it sank to his heart, he was powerless to activate his lips, as if the content of the words that was about to be said had a thousand pounds of weight, so that he could not even open his lips, and in the face of that pain, any language was pale, and a thousand clues, I don't know where to start, this kind of suffering that only he himself knew, so he had to say goodbye.
"I really don't understand why you people are always entangled in these loves, isn't there anything else in life but love?" Xuan Mingzi looked at him very puzzled, and his clear eyes showed his confusion and a trace of repulsion.
"You haven't experienced love, how can you talk about love?" Lin Yuelan glanced at him and sighed: "When you really fall in love with someone, you will taste what kind of 'can't help it' taste." ”
Although Xuan Mingzi's IQ is high, but after all, because he is young and has never experienced the love between men and women, he naturally does not understand, he shook his head, "Love is too torturous, a good person has become a soul all day long, I better not have it in the future, I still learn from the Great Elder his set of divination techniques through heaven and earth." ”
Lin Yuelan looked at his pretended deep demeanor, and smiled: "If love is really as simple as you, it's good if you don't want to, but once love is born, it's like you want to eat when you're hungry, and when it comes to a fixed time, your heart will be hungry, and you can't help but think of someone." ”
"Okay, you're still young, I won't tell you." Seeing that Xuan Mingzi was still digesting what he had just said in a daze, Lin Yuelan added another sentence, intending to end this topic.
"But is love food?" Xuan Mingzi is still exploring this question, "I think the Great Elders don't have the food of love, and they are not doing well. ”
"That's because I haven't met someone who serves this food, who has never tasted it, who never knows what it tastes like, so I won't be swayed by it." Lin Yuelan showed the indifferent and desireless faces of the elders, and some disapproval and alienation were revealed from his words.
While the two were talking, someone suddenly came in, and that person was Chu Feng, the attendant beside the Great Elder.
"Lin Shizi, the Great Elder wants me to tell you that the Holy Maiden Xuan Ling'er is in poor health, and tomorrow's reception ceremony will have to be postponed."
"It doesn't matter, the body of the saint is important, everything is according to the arrangement of the elders." Lin Yuelan said to him.
"Thank you for the understanding of the prince, then I won't disturb the prince." After Chu Feng finished speaking, he retreated.
"This saint is usually good, how can she say that she is sick when she is sick? Strange ......," Xuan Mingzi muttered incomprehensibly.
"This saint is sick in time." The corners of Lin Yuelan's mouth hooked up a smile, but he didn't say it, only said in his heart.
"Alas, Shizi, you finally have a chance to meet the beautiful Xuan Ling'er, but now you missed this opportunity again, you have to continue to endure the pain of lovesickness." Xuan Mingzi saw that he was silent, but he also peeked at him a little bit of his thoughts, with a funny smile on his little face.
Lin Yuelan glared at him, "You don't have to come to me tomorrow to learn to play chess." ”
"Don't be so careful, don't I just make fun of you?" Xuan Mingzi tugged at his sleeve, "Okay, I'll take back what I just said." ”
"Don't give me a sloppy look, it's not here's the fault." Lin Yuelan glanced at him, "Don't think I didn't see your little trick." ”
"I'm sorry, I accidentally peeked into your heart." Xuan Mingzi admitted his mistake.
"If you do it again, I will break off my friendship with you." Lin Yuelan said in warning.
At this time, in the White Feather Tianhua Golden Silk Soft Tent in the dormitory of the Star Palace, an incomparably beautiful figure was lying quietly, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep, and in front of the tent stood the Great Elder Xuan Wu, the Second Elder Xuan Zhen, and the Third Elder Xuan Jing, and the three of them had uneasy looks on their faces.
"Why did Xuan Ling'er's Ice Spirit Disease attack at this time?" The Xuan Realm is incomprehensible.
"yes, it's fine during the day." Hyun Jin was also puzzled.
Great Elder Xuan Wu didn't make a sound, looking at the people in the golden silk tent, and a trace of doubt rose in his heart.
As soon as he came out of the Hall of Stars, Xuan Wu saw a figure flashing by, and when he returned to the Qingyu Palace, he took out a few jade stones with ancient symbols from a jade box, recited the mantra silently, and took a hexagram, looking at the hexagram, his face gradually became bad.
"Xuankong, you brought a good apprentice, that stinky boy really doesn't know the height of the sky." Xuan Wu muttered to himself angrily.
Situ Nanyun walked through a verdant mountain, and a bamboo forest faintly appeared in front of him, and several exquisite and gorgeous houses appeared behind the bamboo forest.
"This is the old nest of the ghostly old master Shi Yijian, it is really a paradise, and there is no cave." Situ Nanyun was a little envious.
After speaking, she took out the drawings of the village courtyard that Bai Mu Yao gave her and looked at them, and silently remembered those hidden weapons that needed to be avoided.
From time to time in the manor, a person from the Ten Palaces of Yama wearing a ghost head mask appeared, and she was quick in her footwork, and she avoided their sight in a flash. Walked along the remote path in the courtyard for half an hour, only to see the rockery stone path, lotus pond and pond pavilion layout exquisitely, no less than the pattern of the Yandu Palace, not long after, gradually saw the house where Shi Yijian lived, looking around, the house faintly exuded a majestic and mysterious atmosphere.
"Finally found here, floating roots, you wait for me." Situ Nanyun said with joy in her heart.
At this time, it was still early, the sun had not yet deviated due west, and the afterglow of the setting sun was full of the entire courtyard. In a hidden corner overgrown with flowers and trees that no one could see, she spread out the drawings that Bai Mu Yao gave her and looked at them intently.
According to Bai Mu Yao's description, the demonized floating root cloud Biye has a bad aura, and it is not appropriate to stay close for too long, Shi Yijian will not take it with her when she sleeps at night, and it may be hidden somewhere in the study and bedroom, so she must remember all the mechanism settings and the placement of things in Shi Yijian's study and bedroom, so that she can enter his room safely and find the floating root cloud and blue leaf she is looking for as soon as possible.
As soon as Xu Xifeng and Shi Yu'er stepped into the gate of the Demon Demon Headquarters, they were stopped by the leader of the Ten Halls of Yama, "Old Demon Lord, please ask Xu Zuo to come over." ”
Xu Xifeng's heart sank, this history is really not good, and the good ones don't come, so it will be no good for him to go over.
Without waiting for him to make a sound, Shi Yu'er spoke: "Why did my father only ask Xu Zuo to come over?" Didn't you call me? ”
The leader replied, "No, the old evil lord only mentioned the name of Xu Zuo's envoy. He looked at Xu Xifeng and said, "Xu Zuo, please." ”
Xu Xifeng glanced at Shi Yu'er, "Deputy Master, then I'll go." ”
Shi Yu'er nodded at her, "I'll wait for you in Bixiao Courtyard." ”
Xu Xifeng followed the two to Shi Yijian's residence.
Situ Nanyun's eyes were tired, and she memorized those mechanism settings and objects in her mind, but it took her a lot of energy, and she read that it was early in the morning, so she leaned on the flowers and trees behind her to close her eyes and recuperate.
Suddenly she heard a sound of footsteps, and she opened her eyes alertly, and saw a familiar figure.
"Hey, why is it Xifeng? How did he get here? Situ Nanyun wondered in her heart.
When he looked at it again, he found that the two people behind Xu Xifeng were not friendly, and said secretly: "Could it be that Xifeng has encountered any trouble?" ”
So she put away the drawings, got out of the flowers, and quietly followed the three of them.
Xu Xifeng followed the two into the courtyard, and when he saw the facilities in the courtyard, he was secretly taken aback, the devil is good at using hidden weapons, but this history is to learn from the use of hidden weapons to an extreme, and you can see a hidden weapon that can kill people in an instant in three or five steps.
The two of them skillfully avoided these hidden weapons, and he followed behind him, following in unison, secretly remembering the method of avoiding the hidden weapons. It didn't take long for them to arrive at the door of a heavy but noble room, and the two of them stood at the door and said respectfully: "Old evil lord, Xu Zuo brought it." ”
The voices of the people inside immediately came out, "Okay, you guys stand down, Xu Zuo Envoy please come in." ”
Xu Xifeng pushed the door and entered, and saw the legendary ghost old master Shi Yijian, only to see that this person was dressed in a dark robe, with a strong body, and a fierce momentum emanated from his whole body.
"I've seen the old man." Xu Xifeng saluted.
"Xu Zuo, we finally met." Shi Yijian's sharp eyes shone on him and smiled.
"What does the old evil lord have to teach Xu over today?" Xu Xifeng got straight to the point.
"I don't dare to teach you, I just want to tell you about the past." Shi Yijian looked at him and said.
Xu Xifeng's heart sank, he didn't know what medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, so he smiled lightly, "Oh, the old demon still has a lot of leisure." ”
"Yes, there are three points of the old man's temperament." Shi Yijian changed the topic and suddenly came to such a sentence.
Without waiting for Xu Xifeng to answer, he continued: "Is it okay for the ghost to be worried? ”
"Xu doesn't understand what the old lord means, I don't know the person you mentioned." Xu Xifeng's heart sank, but his face remained silent.
"You don't know, I'll help you remember." Shi Yijian looked at him with a smile.
"Ghost Seeing Sorrow used to be one of my old people, but unfortunately we had a quarrel later, he secretly escaped with his wife Qinxiang, and I was very reluctant to this old man, so I planted three iris Gu on his child, this Gu poison occurs once every ten years, so that this old man of mine can always think of me." Shi Yijian stopped at this point and fell his eyes on his face.
The hatred in Xu Xifeng's heart was already surging, but at this time he controlled it, his face was still indifferent, waiting for the other party to continue.
