Chapter 031: Clever Tongue (1)

I opened my eyes.

The first thing that catches my eye is a hazy black shadow, which is blown away by the wind like a mist in the evening breeze, and then regrouped like a mosquito.

Although the shape is erratic, it can be judged from the general outline that it was a graceful beauty during her lifetime.

This spirit, I've seen it before, and it was it the last time I played the Requiem at the Red Smell Pavilion.

It's just that back then, it wasn't as humanoid as it is now, and apparently it had grown a lot since it left last time.

It's weird.

Because after a person's death, whether the soul becomes a resentful spirit or a fog of ignorance and ignorance has long been predestined, and there can be no change.

Unless, unless, there are people who are highly cultivated, and they make offerings to it with secret techniques.

This is not impossible in the spiritual world.

The undead who have a deep grudge are a powerful force for some people in the present world, such as hatred, and this power is enough to become an existence that transcends the laws of the world, so some warlocks will capture some souls from the wild and nourish them with the resentment of the living, so that even if they are just ordinary souls, they can also obtain the power like resentful spirits.

It's just that this method is quite dangerous, as I said earlier, for warlocks, if it involves ordinary people, this is a sin and a taboo.

Feeding the undead with the resentment of the living makes it easy for the caster to be counterattacked, and the living who provide resentment to the undead may also be affected by the undead and become cruel and murderous monsters.

Although I feel that the practice of Proverbs should not be caught and made into something like that, this is indeed the first soul I have summoned with "Requiem".

If it wasn't a proverb, why did it appear in the Red Bun Pavilion at that time, and why did it appear in front of me now?

So, I sat on the ground, looked up at it, and for a moment, cautiously asked, "Is it the book of Proverbs?" ”

However, the spirit still did not react, and after a moment of silence, it drifted away with the wind, and I was afraid of losing it again, so I hurriedly got up and chased after it.

Since I had just recovered and my body was not yet able to obey the call, I stumbled and fell several times on the road.

Eventually, they chased it to a mansion in the West Side.

Like last time, as soon as I chased it to the door, it was gone.

At this time, the sky was close to dawn, the bright moon moved westward, hidden in the mountains, and the stars in the sky also disappeared, leaving only a few bright ones hanging in the sky.

Inside the door, there was a Qionghua tree, which was so large that it could be judged from the outside that it had a thick, white color, and was clustered on the branches.

Two lanterns are hanging at the door, and on the paper wall of the lanterns, there is also a word 'river' written on it, and the petals are falling and falling, and under the light, a piece of crimson color is fainted.

Xu is because of the last night's operation, it took too much physical strength, Xu is because of the appearance of those things, so that I have not fully recovered until now, seeing that the ghost disappeared, I stood at the door, silent for a while, then I felt dizzy, leaned against the wall, sat down and fell asleep.

When I woke up again, the sky was already bright, and a ray of sunlight fell on the screen of the room through the screen window, and it could be seen that this was not the Hongwen Pavilion, but a strange place.

The host should be an extremely elegant person, and even the side room for guests to rest is very exquisitely furnished.

Cloud gauze brocade tent, golden beast agarwood, the screen is painted with green leaves and fields, carp to lotus, not far from the window, there are two pots of orchids, and there is a guqin in the middle.

I stood up and walked over, and was about to reach out and touch the guqin, but was seen by the maid who pushed the door in.

"Don't touch it!"

She took the first step, picked up the guqin, protected it in her arms and said, "This is my girl's beloved thing, don't touch it." ”

My hand froze in the air, and I smiled slightly: "It's a beloved thing, why don't you collect it well and put it here?" ”

The maid looked at me and replied, "Childe, you misunderstood what I meant. ”

This maid is interesting, the maid of other people's houses sees the guests, even if it is an uninvited outsider like me, all respectful and cowering, but she is not afraid of me at all, and the eyebrows and eyes are bright and lively, and there is even a little boldness.

"The guqin in the world, in the eyes of our girl, is all beloved, but there are thousands of guqins in this world, how can every one be collected by your side, so I mean, in our house, if the son sees this kind of guqin, it will be unhappy for our girl, it is best not to touch it."

I think I know who owns this house.

There is a talented woman in Yangzhou, surnamed Jiang, named Caiping, although the daughter is not often known to outsiders, but Jiang Caiping's reputation has already spread throughout Shengjing.

It is said that Xiao Jiao, the son of King Rui, traveled to Yangzhou, and one day he was boating on the lake, and saw this woman in the depths of the lotus lotus, and since then he has fallen in love with her.

It's a pity that Jiang Caiping has an arrogant temperament and is very dignified, and in the face of the pursuit of His Royal Highness the Prince, she has been lukewarm and has no reaction, and obviously does not want to have any feelings with him.

Xiao Li had no choice, but he couldn't let such a beauty stay in Yangzhou, so he could only 'invite' her to Shengjing in the name of a friend and offer her in this mansion.

said that it was a friend, Xiao Li really didn't have anything out of the way, usually, he only communicated with each other as friends, the two played the piano and enjoyed music together, chanted poems and tasted tea, and because of Jiang Caiping's indifferent attitude, even those Shengjing subjects who loved to break their mouths only regarded her as a helpless 'confidant' in front of His Royal Highness the Prince.

I heard that Jiang Caiping has a withdrawn and eccentric temperament, and she has a disdainful expression towards everyone, but she only cares about the guqin.

And in this mansion, most of the guqins were collected by Xiao Li to please her.

I nodded and said, "Thank you girl for the reminder." ”

The maid couldn't help but smile and teased: "What kind of girl is not a girl, I'm just a maid who carries water, and the son will call me Yunxiu in the future." ”

The clouds have no intention of going out, and the birds are tired of flying and know how to return.

Selling myself as a slave, losing my original surname, and using the master's name, I have seen countless maids and slaves in my life, and I have heard of their countless names, all of them are peach and willow green, mandarin ducks and butterflies, Fu Lu Shouquan, joy and prosperity, but it is the first time I have heard such a chic, it seems that Miss Jiang's literary talent is not in vain.

It's just that I don't know, in the eyes of this Jiang girl, which cloud has no intention of coming out, and which bird should be tired of flying?

I arched my hand again and said, "Then, thank you Miss Jiang and Miss Yunxiu for saving your life." ”

Yun Xiu sighed: "How do you know that my girl's surname is Jiang?" ”

I smiled and replied: "In this world, if you talk about piano idiots, except for my senior brother, it must be Miss Jiang, not to mention, there are Qiong flowers blooming in the Zun Mansion, and there are lanterns of the Jiang family hanging outside the door. ”

Hearing my explanation, Yun Xiu pursed her lips, said 'cunning', and said: "Who are you, when I opened the door in the morning, I saw you fainting in front of my house, but we were frightened. ”

"It's also the kindness of our girl to take you into the house to recuperate, if it were me, I would have dragged you out to see the official."

Seeing that I was smiling and silent, she frowned and interrogated, "Tell me, who are you?" ”

"Red Smell Pavilion."

I replied lightly: "Yesterday evening, when I was going down to the city to kill the evil spirits, I was accidentally injured a little, and I had no intention of landing here, disturbing your mansion, and I ask the girl to forgive me." ”

"Red Smell Pavilion?"

Yun Xiu tilted her head and asked rhetorically.

I nodded, and when I saw that she seemed to suddenly realize, I covered my mouth and said softly, "I...... Our girl said, when you wake up, get out of here quickly. ”

For the first time in his life, he was expelled from someone else's house without even seeing his master.

I smiled helplessly, this Jiang girl seems to be really as rumored, with a cold and arrogant temperament.

"How can this be done, Miss Jiang saved my life, no matter what, I should also thank you."

Although, I'm not sure if that ghost is a proverb or not, but I'm sure that it disappeared at the gate of Jiangfu, not for no reason, this place, there must be some problems.

When Yunxiu saw me like this, she suddenly became anxious: "Why are you like this, let you go, why are you procrastinating, besides, our girl doesn't see outsiders." ”

Hearing her say this, I could only say, "In this way, I asked the girl to thank Miss Jiang on my behalf." ”

Follow Yunxiu out of the side room, all the way through the flowers and willows, and come to the house, only to see a lotus pond in the courtyard, and a few fat red buds are set off in the green lotus leaves.

In the courtyard, there was a burst of piano sounds, Yun Xiu paused, and followed the sound to look at the person in the pavilion.

Her expression was dazed, and there seemed to be worry between her eyebrows.

I followed her line of sight, and saw a woman sitting upright, and because of the veil of clouds all around, the figure inside was looming, and it was not clear who it was, but even so, it still made people feel that she was surrounded by an elegant coldness.

The sound of this piano, like the fairy music in the sky, like the murmur of all things, should be gurgling water, clear and tactful, but it seems to be mixed with the emotions of a woman's sadness and sorrow......

I followed Yunxiu, stood by the lotus pond for a while, and said, "Miss Jiang's mood seems to be bad. ”

Yun Xiu suddenly came back to her senses and changed to a curious expression: "Girl, she has always been like this, what's so bad?" ”

"Her piano sounded a little depressed."

Yun Xiu heard this: "The sound of the piano is not all in the same key, it is clearly written on the score, what kind of sorrow can you hear?" ”

I shook my head, hooked my lips and said: "Have you ever heard a sentence, the qin is the sound of all things in heaven and earth, the same qin music, played by different people, in different places, with different moods, it sounds different, the state of the human heart, subtle changes, if you want to hear the details of this, only with your heart." ”

"Intentions?" Yun Xiu was even more confused.

I hummed and said with emotion: It would be nice if there was a senior brother, my senior brother is the same as Miss Jiang, he is a piano idiot, and he has studied the piano art, and the two of them should be able to become real confidants. ”

looked at Qionghua by the door, and asked suspiciously: "Qionghua, Qionghua should only grow in Yangzhou, why do you have to shackle in Shengjing?" ”
