With Emperor Ling's words, a formidable chill spread between us, cold and biting.

"It's a pity that I didn't plan to go back forever." My face remained calm, but my back was sweating.

"I hope so." Ling Huang smiled. "But don't be nervous, I was just kidding. Even if you really plan to leave, I won't kill you, after all, the emperor likes the beauty of adults. ”

Is it just a joke? I smiled noncommittal.

"Okay, having said these serious things, it's time to go and relax, and the emperor will take you to meet an old acquaintance." Emperor Ling walked out of the palace with a smile.

The sound of silk and bamboo was pleasant, and Emperor Ling and I came to a verdant bamboo forest behind the palace.

The breeze blows, the forest sea is turbulent, the bamboo leaves are falling, and the picture is extremely beautiful.

In front of this bamboo forest, a woman is sitting quietly and stroking the piano, and the melodious sound is wafting from her piano.

"Gongzi Zhou, we meet again." The woman finished playing, raised her head and saluted Emperor Ling and me.

"Jean girl." I was a little surprised that today's Qin girl did not sit in the dragon bowl and did not veil her, but exposed her true face to us.

It is rumored that the appearance of the Qin girl is extremely perfect, the skin is as white as mutton fat, the eyebrows are phoenix, gentle and lovely, and the whole person is flawless, like a fairy who came out of the painting.

In my impression, only a few people such as Yu Huanqin, Lu Xueyi, the witch and Bai Susu can be compared.

"It's better if you know each other." Ling Huang said with a smile: "Miss Qin is the best at music, and the Guangling drunk she plays is even more wonderful, it is the most meaningful tune that the old man has ever heard, do you want to listen to it?" ”

"I've been longing for it for a long time." I smiled.

"Qin Yun, don't you hear? What are you doing in a daze, playing your best piano song, do you want to snub Zhou Gongzi? Emperor Ling frowned slightly when he saw that Miss Qin was still standing in place.

"Qin Yun doesn't dare." The girl trembled slightly, frowned, nodded and sat down.

My heart moved, and Miss Qin seemed to be reluctant, and seemed to be very afraid of this Ling Huang.

Soon the sound of the piano sounded in the bamboo forest, the bamboo forest swayed, and countless magical breaths wafted out with the sound of the piano.

The monk enlightened, whether it is drinking, drinking tea, listening to the piano and watching the scenery, it is the same, and the sound of the piano rhyme really amazes me. Even Lu Yu, who had always been harsh, lost his voice. Guangling drunk has a total of nine chapters, but Qin Yun generally only plays three songs, but on this occasion, Qin Yun plays seven chapters in a row.

Then suddenly a string broke, and the strand came to an abrupt end.

"Emperor Ling, I ......" Qin Yun stood up at a loss, her expression like a child who had done something wrong.

I frowned, noticing that her arms were shaking, her face was even paler, and the hair on her forehead was clinging to her skin from sweat. "Emperor Ling atoned for his sins, and he couldn't play the piano rhyme."

"What are these words? I'm here today, do you want me to listen to half of it? Or is your Qin Yun now very capable, and you deliberately want to make me ugly in front of Zhou Gongzi. Emperor Ling's face sank.

"Qin Yun doesn't dare." Qin Yun bit her lower lip and sat down slowly.

She flicked the strings again, and suddenly frowned in pain, and a white jade-like finger flowed red blood, dripping down the strings.

My heart shuddered, and then I noticed that her fingers were full of wounds, and they were broken and bleeding.

"Emperor Ling, let's stop here." I spoke suddenly.

"I haven't listened to a single song, why are you doing this?" Emperor Ling looked at me strangely. "Could it be that Zhou Yuan, are you pitying the fragrance and cherishing the jade? This is nothing, Qin Yun likes to play the piano, even if his fingers are broken, he can't hide his love, just like my monks, even if they are scarred, but they are still full of fighting spirit, Qin Yun, you are right. ”

"Emperor Ling is right, I can continue to play. Do not disturb Zhou Gongzi's Yaxing. Qin Yun lowered her head, her voice was very low, her fingers trembled, but she bit her lower lip and did not say a word.

I sighed, it seems that rumors are just rumors, and the outside world says that Emperor Ling treats Qin Yun as a daughter, but how can there be such a father. Qin Yun had already played scarred, but Ling Huang insisted on making her more injured, and Qin Yun didn't even dare to refute.

I stood up and looked at Emperor Ling with a smile.

"No, Emperor Ling, you misunderstood, but you also know that I also like music and rhythm in my life, and the Qin girl talked about seven songs, I have some itchy skills, so it's better to give me a chance to show it." I walked to Qin Yun's side, took out the bronze bell with a wave of my hand, and put it next to the guqin.

"That's fine." Ling Huang looked at Qin Yun thoughtfully, and swept over her, who trembled under his gaze.

"You go down first." Emperor Ling waved his hand, and Qin Yun bowed back as if he was about to be amnesty.

After Qin Yun left, only me and Ling Huang were left in this bamboo sea.

"Gongzi Zhou, this is the cruelty of heaven, you shouldn't be a woman's kindness." Ling Huangmin took a sip of tea and said suddenly.

"You can't hide anything from Emperor Ling." I didn't deny it either, and smiled faintly.

"The strong can dominate everything, and the weak can only be bullied, this is the cruelty of the world, I just want this Nizi to understand that this heaven and earth is not a beautiful song like heaven, but a bloody and cruel purgatory."

Ling Huang stood up, raised his head and pointed to the sky.

"You may think that the old man is cruel, but in fact it is so, even more cruel. I just let her play one more tune and shed a little blood, and when I get outside, those weak face the strong, and they don't even have their lives in their hands, so what is this compared to? ”

As Emperor Ling spoke, his face suddenly became sharp, and there was even a hint of hatred for heaven and earth.

"Zhou Yuan, do you know how the old man went from a cowherd baby to what he is today?"

"Manager Huang said a little bit, Emperor Ling, it is indeed very difficult for you to get to the point where you are today."

"It's hard." Ling Huang laughed, still with resentment in his laughter. "What does he know? When he was with me, the old man was already a saint cultivator and had a force. Take the bones of that family of eighteen as an example, Mr. Huang knew that these people were my enemies, and they had chased and killed me for three years, but the old man never told him that these people killed the old man's entire family, and they didn't even let my Taoist companion go! ”

When Emperor Ling said this, he seemed to suddenly lose control and gritted his teeth. Or maybe it was my kindness to Qin Yun that stimulated him.

"And the enemy family, originally my benefactor, the old man can have today, all by relying on a treasure, I was too naïve at that time, one accidentally leaked the matter to the other party, as a result, the whole family was destroyed, and I was hunted down for three years. The person I trusted the most, but it almost ruined my life. ”

I was shocked, it turned out that Emperor Ling had also experienced this kind of disaster in the past.

"In those three years, the old man hid in Tibet, had no self-esteem and erased his good thoughts, I killed people and goods, and plundered everything that could be improved as soon as possible. So the old man swore before destroying the enemy's whole family, from now on, I will no longer trust anyone, and I also realized that only the strong are respected in this world, as long as you are strong, you can do whatever you want, even if the other party is reluctant, even if she flicks her fingers and bleeds, what does it matter. As long as the old man can take advantage of this opportunity to be promoted. ”

I was silent, what Ling Huang said was impassioned, but I was very uncomfortable listening to it. Because I have been hurt, I have to pass it on to others after I succeed, and I can't accept it.

"But you pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and the old man has nothing to say, but you said that you can't break your word when you play a song. Have you seen this bamboo forest? Emperor Ling took a deep breath to calm the resentment, and he suddenly changed the topic and pointed to the large bamboo sea in front of us.

"The old man likes to enjoy bamboo the most, this thing can calm my mind and suppress the nightmare in my heart. In particular, the blood bamboo is the best, because it is said that this thing is dissolved into a drop of heavenly blood, and after it grows, each willow leaf has a heavenly blood thread, and they will emit a wonderful artistic conception in the wind swaying. But this blood bamboo is difficult to cultivate, let alone form a bamboo forest, the old man has studied for many years before discovering its best food, but do you know what this blood bamboo likes best? ”

"I don't know." Ling Huang looked at me, and I shook my head.

"Blood Bamboo's favorite thing is blood." Emperor Ling waved his hand, and suddenly several figures came over, and they carried the corpses to the side of the bamboo forest, and threw several corpses into the bloody bamboo forest like sacks.
