Chapter 53: Stone Warriors
The ethereal sound of the piano was coming from under the statue in the center of the square, there were so many people, it was almost more than tens of thousands, and the three of them hid under the dark shadow of the street and couldn't see who was playing the qin in the center.
"Isn't it easy to know if they're dead or alive?" Lan Caidie pulled out Hongjuan and shook it slightly, and Caijie flew out of her fragrant handkerchief again. Wushuang reached out and touched her hair, and the butterfly hairpin on her head disappeared like a trick.
The butterfly fluttered in the air of the ancient city and slowly flew towards the stiff crowd in the square, and finally drowned in the endless darkness, and it did not return for a long time.
The three of them waited left and right and didn't see the butterfly come back, Lan Caidie panicked, it was the first time she had encountered such a strange thing after being out of the mountain for so long. Its butterfly is not an illusion, it is an old butterfly that she has trained for several years, smarter than the pet dogs raised by ordinary people, why can't it be released this time?
"Brother Shuang, there are strange things in the square, we'd better withdraw as soon as possible, it's too late to go back now!" Lan Caidie said cautiously.
Wushuang said: "Don't worry, we can leave whenever we want, but at least find the corpse of the Korean woman, and it will be a disaster to keep her sooner or later." ”
Wushuang picked up a stone from the ground, looked at it and threw it, hitting the last line of people in the square closest to their hiding place. He used a lot of energy, deliberately made it bad, it stands to reason that if this is smashed, it will definitely make the man's head bleed, even if he doesn't shout and kill, he will definitely have to turn back to find the enemy.
Wushuang heard the sound of stones smashing, but the crowd in the square still stood motionless, undisturbed by his vexatious trouble.
"I'll take a look, you two are waiting for me here, don't move!"
"Brother Shuang, be careful. ”
Wushuang carefully leaned towards the square step by step with the dagger in his hand, and when he immediately approached the crowd at the end of the square, he threw a stone in front of him, and the people in the square still did not move, he leaned forward a few more steps, and was only a few meters away from the Goryeo people in the last row. It's a safe distance, and if the other party does something unusual, he can turn around and slip away.
Ma San didn't have any manliness, he shivered and hid behind Lan Caidie, the more he listened to this rhythm, the more familiar he felt, not that the music played in the square was familiar, but the beautiful timbre of this guqin was very familiar, it was not very accurate, but he vaguely felt that it seemed to be the timbre of a kind of Korean guqin dictated by the ancestor master.
"Girl, let him come back quickly, isn't this the Goryeo Chaos Qin, which has been missing for thousands of years?"
Lan Caidie asked, "What is the Chaos Piano?"
"Legend has it that there is a strange tree growing in Goryeo, called the Chaos Tree, which looks white and unremarkable, but it is suitable for making zuò guqin, and the guqin sound is soft and melodious. During the Han Dynasty, it was admired by the Central Plains, and its price was so expensive that only the musicians of the court had it. Later, it was rumored that there was a Chaos Tree King in Goryeo, whose age can be traced back to ancient times. At that time, the king of Goryeo favored his young daughter, and the princess knew how to play the qin since she was a child, and the king sent someone to cut down the old chaos tree, and it is said that when the old tree was cut down, blood flowed from inside, and the smell was extremely fishy. After the princess got the guqin, her temperament changed greatly, she became cold and plain, and she was immersed in the music all day long, not thinking about the fireworks in the world. Later, I don't know who told her that it would be more perfect to use the virgin body hair that was not out of the cabinet at the age of sixteen to make the string rhythm, she believed it and killed several innocent girls to remove the body hair, and finally made the world's unparalleled Chaos Qin King. ”
"Oops...... I think this Goryeo princess is perverted, isn't it disgusting?" Just listening to Ma San made Lan Caidie goosebumps all over her body.
Ma San said that the guqin is indeed full of magic, and anyone who hears its rhythm will be unable to give up. Legend has it that the piano was played for the dead, but there was absolutely no one alive who could hear the melody of the Chaos Piano King. Because the sound is so beautiful that it will suck your soul.
The legendary Chaos Guqin disappeared after the death of the wayward Goryeo princess, and for thousands of years, countless villains have been searching for it but no one has seen it after all. Ma San saw that the people of the entire ancient city of Goryeo were standing motionless in the square and listening to the music, and he expected that only the legendary Chaos Qin King could do this.
Both men are not familiar with the rhythm of music, so they can't discern the truth of this legend, but Lan Caidie was born in the red silk gate, and the woman in the red silk gate knows all kinds of music and dance, and there is no other reaction at the moment. She couldn't help but have some doubts about the authenticity of this ancient legend.
"Don't move!" Lan Caidie warned Ma San, and then followed Wushuang over.
Wushuang was originally a bold and careful person, which inherited the bloodline of the ancestor Wu Gongyao. He approached the crowd in the square step by step, and the melodious melody in the middle was still playing.
He could feel that there was no anger in this group of people, but since they were dead, why would they stand motionless here for thousands of years? And their bodies were completely free of decay, and they were more intact than the corpse of the Korean woman.
He approached, patted the man's shoulder lightly from behind a dark shadow and whispered, "My mother's waist?" I don't know if my sentence is not standard, but this is the only sentence he will say, and he won't say anything else.
The moment his hand touched the man's shoulder, he already knew that the man would never politely reply to his question. For the shoulders on which he touched the Tao were hard, and the surface was exceedingly cold.
"Brother Shuang, you're too bold, aren't you?" Lan Caidie was worried about him and wanted to drag him back.
"It's okay, none of them are alive, and I don't think they are real people, maybe stone figurines. Wushuang kept one hand on the black shadow's shoulder, and the hard touch of the stone became stronger and stronger.
He tugged backwards so hard that the stone figurine lost its balance and fell backwards, losing its center of gravity and pressing it down. Wushuang and Blue Butterfly hurriedly dodged to the side. I only heard a snapping sound...... The stone figurines fell heavily to the ground, and the large and small stones fell into countless pieces and scattered.
"Huh?" Wushuang and Lan Caidie shouted in unison, their faces full of shock.
The stone figurine was smashed to pieces, and Wushuang thought that it was just a stone figurine carved from stone, but in fact, this guess was not entirely correct, because there were sections of human bones in the broken stone figurine's body.
The momentum was just right, and the stone figurines were smashed all over, except for the skull, which was intact and rolled to the feet of the two of them. No matter how bold Lan Caidie is, she is also a girl after all, and she can't help but cover her mouth and dare not come out in fright at this time.
