Chapter 227: The Night of the Barren Mountain

- "Hey, little ghost, wake up!"

In his deep sleep, Ye Qingxuan felt someone patting his cheeks, and in a drowsy state, he opened his eyes with difficulty and saw Hermes's faint face.

"How much is this?" he said, holding up his finger.

"Three. ”

Hermes seemed to nod his head, and then asked, "What is forty-four times six plus fifty-two divided by two?"

"......" Ye Qingxuan was stunned.

"It seems that logical thinking has not yet recovered, but what about time perception?" Hermes asked again, "what time is it?"

Ye Qingxuan crossed his shoulder and looked at the sky in a daze: "If you look at the sun, it's afternoon, right?"

"Hey, this is the Sword Fence Dungeon, where is the sun?"

Hermes rubbed his hands and lit a incense stick, which swept the tip of the boy's nose: "Although the ritual was successful, the spirit has not yet recovered, let's sleep for a while." ”

No, I saw it......

The strong drowsiness suddenly struck again, Ye Qingxuan's eyes darkened, and he fell into a deep sleep again.

In his dream, he saw the sun above the heavenly dome, and the sun was shining brightly. There is also the moon, which is hidden below the horizon with a pale and blue light.

The moonlight seemed to be whispering to herself, but it was too far away for Ye Qingxuan to hear clearly.

He saw the sun set little by little towards the horizon, the moonlight rising inch by inch, until finally, at the ends of the heavenly dome, the sun and the moon briefly shone brightly.

Their light shone on the boy like the eyes of God.

Ye Qingxuan finally heard clearly the words they kept repeating in his ears, which were the whispers from the primeval times, the truth engraved on the stone tablet.

At that moment, Ye Qingxuan woke up from his sleep.

At some point, he had been lifted out of his slumber and laid down in the lounge of the Great Library. The room was empty. There was silence.

He recalled carefully, but felt that there were only a few absurd fragments left in his mind, like a joke, and he only remembered that there seemed to be a Xiao Ming who was particularly unlucky to do anything.

Other than that, I don't remember anything.

Just as he painstakingly recalled, he touched the heavy stone chip in his hand. The stone flakes were cold, metallic, and the cuneiform touches reminded him of the whispers of the sun and moonlight in his ears in his sleep, and they said:

"As above it, as under it, so that all things come to an end. ”

The boy rubbed the cuneiform characters on it, and finally understood what the cuneiform characters on it were.

It is not a simple discourse, but a music theory that has been reduced to the extreme, and it starts with the school of change. With the proposition of 'Creator', we explored and evolved, and came up with results.

It likens music theory to the process of alchemy, reclassifying the matter of all things, and proposing a broken but reliable tree diagram that can be traced back to the beginning of all things, the source of everything...... Well, if this tree diagram is complete.

If only the alchemist could comprehend it. He will be ecstatic and willing to give all his treasure in exchange. But for Ye Qingxuan, it is inevitable that there are some chickens and ducks.

However, even if Ye Qingxuan didn't have any involvement in the school of change, after mastering this kind of comprehension, he had a feeling that the music theory in his mind was completely new, and the world in his eyes was changed.

Keep your eyes fixed on the time. It's as if you can feel the origin of things. I was sitting indoors, but I could feel the glow of the sunset.

Is it a delusion?

"Don't be in a daze. ”

The old man's voice suddenly came: "--Dull, the great enemy of musicians." ”

In an instant, the fishy wind rushed from the back of his head, and Ye Qingxuan rolled on the spot without thinking. Then a roar was heard. A large hole appeared in the ground.

At his original location, a deformed creature with slender hands and feet with a steely sheen appeared, like a person who had been forcibly elongated, and the skin of his body had been peeled off, replaced by a layer of rusted copper.

On its face, it also wears a bone mask that looks like it has grown out of flesh and blood, and there are three eyes on it, one on the left and one on the right, and there are only a few small dots in the cloudy yellow pupils, like the compound eyes of insects.

"Lost?"

Ye Qingxuan felt a chill in the back of his head: How could the low-level demons created by the evil god appear here?

But it was too late for him to think about it, and the lost one hissed, and pounced on him with his hands and feet. The slender arms with a steely sheen slashed through the air, sending out a scream that captured the heart.

Ye Qingxuan stepped back one after another, feeling its sharp nails sweeping in front of his eyes, and the eye mask that had not felt anything at that moment felt something extremely cold rubbing.

There was no time to hesitate and think about it, Ye Qingxuan's unfolded five fingers suddenly tightened, as if he had broken something, and the Nine Heavens Ring on his index finger burst out with a faint light.

In the sound of ice crystal multiplication, the strings of the Nine Heavens Ring grew out of the void, and advanced beyond Ye Qingxuan's expectations, suddenly changing, forming an illusionary image of the instrument in mid-air.

After devouring a lot of spirituality, Jiuxiao Huanpei's own spirituality has finally recovered somewhat, and he can already change his body to adapt to the requirements of the movement.

Well, that's good!

An excited light flashed in Ye Qingxuan's eyes, and a fierce melody played on his fingertips.

At that moment, it was like a sharp voice bursting out. It was a tight whirlwind, and in just a few moments, the melody of the whirlwind climbed to its peak.

Advanced, the Nine Heavens Ring suddenly shook, bursting out with a magnificent horn roar.

The swirling melody called to the ether, forming an invisible rope that bound the lost one and made it difficult for him to walk.

And at the moment when the horn roared, the lost man's body shook suddenly, and his arm suddenly doubled, grabbing Ye Qingxuan's face.

Ye Qingxuan stared at the sharp palm that rushed towards him, motionless.

For there were already silver chains extending out of the void, wrapping around its limbs, and suddenly tightening!

There was a rattle, it was the sound of bones shattering.

The lost screamed, but could not move in the chains.

And the roaring trumpet sounded again, and the melody was like the scorching sun, to break through all darkness and announce the dawn.

In the midst of that melody, the icy sound of steel grinding sounded.

Countless pieces of iron sand emerged from the void, colliding violently with each other, rubbing and burning until they were red, fusing into one and turning into several sharp spikes.

The pitch-black spikes, with a fiery scarlet, pierced down with the guidance of the horn.

In an instant, it had been nailed into its body, tearing its shell apart, piercing it through and nailing it to the wall. The spike, with its flaming runes and prayers to slay demons, emitted a blinding light.

The light was like a flame, burning the body of the lost from the inside out, causing a raging fire to erupt from its strange mask, eyes, ears, mouth and nose.

In just a few seconds, it was reduced to ashes in the flames that erupted inside.

Like an illusion, the demon vanished in an instant.

All that was left was white ash falling from the sky.

""Night on the Barren Mountain", I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

The old voice sighed: "When the Inquisition was not yet outlawed, whenever its melody sounded, you could see the burning racks erected at the stake like a forest being lit, and the flames burned the dark night sky into a crimson spectacle. ”

Dominic didn't know when he appeared behind the young man, and when he saw the stunned look on the young man's gaze staring at him, he seemed to understand something, and laughed strangely:

"You can see this too? Yes, it's not a small growth. It seems that what is gained in the perception of celestial beings is an increase in 'insight'?

Yes, it's not far from the official musician level......"

With that, he turned around, leaned on his crutches, and left silently.

But Ye Qingxuan still stayed where he was.

What is that?

At that moment, when he turned around, he saw the old and crumbling Dominic, and the mountain of bones behind him that seemed to be a phantom.

It seems that countless demons have piled up the dry bones of the earth, and the vast cavern is terrifying and mighty, and the cave is filled with a dark mist, as if it is a call from the underworld.

With Dominic gone, the fleeting illusion was gone.

Only a line of black footprints remained, like flames rising, and the footprints extended into the darkness and disappeared with Dominic.

It was a terrifying scene that Ye Qingxuan had never seen in the past, and a glimpse of it made him unable to move.

"What the hell did you do?"

He lowered his head, stroked the cuneiform stone tablet on his fingertips, was confused, and after a long time got up mockingly:

"Forget it, why are you bothering about this now?"

Isn't there something to be done by yourself?――

"Oooh! Cheers!"

In the beer hall, Charles cheered, inserted a skewer of grilled sausages and munched on joy.

Only when it was time to eat the buffet could he show his true combat effectiveness and eat Hessey all the way. In just half an hour, a strong man's rations for several days had already been stuffed.

According to him, it is rare to have meat to eat, and the opportunity is rare, so let's eat enough for a month.

Bai Xi, who came with him, had already done it to the side, with a calm face, pretending not to know him. Only Ye Qingxuan's face is still quite thick, but sitting next to Xia Er, feeling the resentment of the foreman, he also feels Alexander.

This time, in order to celebrate Ye Qingxuan's sublimation ceremony, even the teacher rarely went out to eat together. Anyway, this store is just across the street from the school gate, and it's not too far.

Perhaps because the meeting was going well, he was in a good mood, and after eating a little, he took a glass of beer and smiled at the group of students eating the sea.

Just as he was done eating and waiting for the waiter to bring the next round of barbecue, Charles finally had time to stop, wipe his hands, and ask the question he was most concerned about.

"Yezi, don't be mysterious, I've been waiting for a long time, is there anything to gain from the sublimation ceremony?"

Ye Qingxuan smiled, looked left and right, swept the playing cards left by the last round of drinkers from the empty table next door, integrated them together, and after washing them twice, he looked up at Charles:

"Which one do you want?" (To be continued.) )
