Chapter 018: Falling Snow
Mu Zeqing, who was walking silently on the side, felt the casualness of the conversation between them, without any restrained friendship, which made him envious.
Looking back at myself, my relatives are separated and I don't have a few confidants and friends, and all emotions come from interests!
They chatted all the way and gradually became acquainted, and Rino recognized Mu Zeqing as the third brother through the happy event that had spread throughout the dust building since this morning, and the eldest lady of the illusion family made a marriage with His Royal Highness the Dragon of the North Sea, although everyone knew that this was because of the interests of the family, but Rino still hoped that the existence of this marriage was not just for the benefit!
Unconsciously, they have walked into the maze forest, the woods in front of them are exactly the same no matter which direction they look at, the sky is dark clouds at this time, although the wind and snow around them are not big, but once they are in the maze of the forest, they will inevitably lose their way.
Rino had no clue about this trial, her understanding of the world all relied on the memories of the wind dyed the moon, and there was no description of Snow Pearl in those memories, let alone the question of 'Snowy Tragedy'.
Time passed minute by minute, even if they didn't have a clue, they had to walk into the woods, which looked extremely calm and were covered with illusion enchantments and Qimen Dunjia, as long as they stepped on the snow, they could trigger them one by one.
The trap enchantment activated, the shadows of the trees began to rotate and move, and they scattered unsurprisingly.
They were not the only ones in this forest, all the people who entered the maze forest were scattered by the formation, and when everyone was at a loss, the wind and snow were raging, and no one could easily see the road ahead.
The wind and snow are getting bigger and bigger, and after a while, Rino's footsteps are also much heavier, the cold snow, the cold wind blows on his face and body, it is a piercing pain, the cold of the heart, the stumbling Rino can no longer walk, his feet are firmly buried in the snow, and gradually the whole person also collapses in the snow.
She was numb from the cold, and her eyes were heavy and closed.
Amer, who had been watching Rino in the dark, found that she was lying in the snow and immediately appeared, and he knew that she couldn't bear the wind and snow with no spiritual power at all.
Rino was cold, as if she was hallucinating, muttering to herself that if she was left alone, she would really die here.
Amer cast a spell to brush away the snow from Rino's body, squatted down and patted her face that was red from the cold, and shouted, "Feng Rino, wake up quickly, you will die if you fall asleep again!" ”
"Amer......" Rino opened his eyes in a daze and saw a vague figure, as if he had seen Amer in a trance.
Seeing that Rino woke up, Amer poured out a snow-white cold pill from the cyan vial she took out of her arms and fed it, watched her swallow and confirmed that her body temperature had recovered before leaving quietly, and managed to lure Mu Yun'er, who was trapped by the enchantment not far away.
After a cup of tea, Rino was completely awake, the wind and snow had stopped, she sat on the snow and touched the snow with her hands, but she didn't feel a trace of coolness, but the warmth of her tentacles.
Mu Yun'er, who was trying to use a spell to unlock the enchantment, saw Rino who had come to her senses and immediately went over to help her up, "My sister has finally woken up!" ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and probed her forehead, there was no sign of fever, so there should be nothing wrong!
After Rino stood firm, he looked around and asked, "Sister Yun, do you have any intention of having a third brother, we were still together just now." ”
"Third brother?" Mu Yun'er looked at Li Nuo suspiciously, and the next second she understood, and then said, "Mu Zeqing, I didn't see them, I only saw you lying in the snow when I came over!" ”
"It's hard to discern the direction in the snowy region, not to mention that there is a spell cast here, walking into the woods is like entering a labyrinth, it's not surprising that you are separated, but you don't have to worry about their safety, it's easy to break this barrier with their skills!"
The theme of this illusion is snow, and the body of snow is water, how can it be trapped by the ancestors who use water spirits!
"Is there a way for my sister to get out?" Rino asked.
"Not yet, although we have a map, but we can't discern the direction, the map is just a piece of waste paper, and we can only wait for it to get dark."
After falling into the maze, Mu Yun'er has tried many methods, but she still can't find a way out, counting the time, it is also a sudden flash of inspiration, thinking of the time of this trial, it turns out that it is to wait until the night, and the stars appear.
"Isn't it even more invisible when it's dark!" Rino didn't understand, the surroundings were already gray, the vision was blurred, and at night, there might be no light at all, how could she find a way out!
"It seems that my sister doesn't know that in this snowy forest, the day is windy and snowy and the sky is dark, but at night it is different, although everything around is not clear during the day, but the sky and stars are unobstructed, otherwise, why would we practice until the end of the day." Mu Yun'er explained.
She has learned the art of stargazing since she was a child, although she is not very skilled and cannot be like Lin Xian'er, the ancestor of the illusion family, who is not affected by day and night and the weather, but as long as she can see the stars, she can find a way out from the star map.
Rino also understood that most of the enchantment formations in the Moon Palace relied on the energy of the sun, moon and stars, and the trial was chosen at night, so the method of breaking the enchantment was very likely to be related to the stars.
"The wind and snow have just stopped, and the stars are not yet known, so let's sit down and wait, and if you feel cold, you must tell me." As she spoke, Mu Yun'er had already led Linuo to sit down next to a dead log.
A few hours later, the sky was clear, the starlight galaxy was twinkling, Mu Yun'er found the brightest purple micro star from the starry sky that symbolized the whole world, she raised the map in her hand and unfolded it to the sky, a bright road reflecting the starlight appeared in the map, she finally found a way out!
Li Nuo followed Mu Yun'er out of the woods, and saw a thatched house, and Mu Zeqing and Yi were there, she hurriedly ran over and said hello to the people outside the house.
"I'll just say that Xiao Dye you have your own natural appearance!" Mu Zeqing said and glanced at the meaning beside him, just now, he was about to go to the forest alone to find someone.
"Time is running out, have you found a clue?" Mu Yun'er walked up to Mu Zeqing and asked.
"The place marked on the map should be such a house, this one and I have already investigated, there are musical scores and musical instruments in the house, presumably these are the clues to find Xue Ling!" Mu Zeqing took out the map and studied it with Mu Yun'er.
"Snow Ling?" Rino was puzzled, isn't this mission looking for Snow Pearl, what does it have to do with Snow Spirit?
"It seems that my sister hasn't done her homework well, the snow pearl we are looking for is in this snowy region, and it is the treasure guarded by the snow spirit." Mu Yun'er explained.
Rino used a smile to hide the embarrassment at this time, she was originally holding the attitude of 'coming here' to join in the fun, and the start time of this trial was really anxious, and she didn't even have time to hold her feet temporarily, so she came with an empty head.
"Yinlu, we should only have the third brother here, you know!" Mu Yun'er said with a headache, although she is a woman, but things such as qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are not suitable for her at all, so she has never learned it at all, but the people of Beihai are extremely good at music.
"Just now I and Yi also perceived this snowy region, and found that there are a lot of places where the aura collides, there is a distortion of space, it should be a water mirror of the law gate that leads to other spaces, and a song of 'sad song' should be the key to open the law door, the music scores here are incomplete, and if I think correctly, these scattered nine places have broken music scores, which can be synthesized into complete songs, however, I can't guarantee that others can cooperate with us, and there will be risks in negotiating, but fortunately, I have heard this song, it is the first one called' Falling Snow's music, I'll try to restore the score. ”
Mu Zeqing analyzed the current situation, they could go out and find other thatched houses marked on the map according to the map, so they would definitely meet other people, and it was naturally easy to say that they could cooperate, if they couldn't cooperate, the fight would be out of control, and as Mu Yun'er said, the remaining time was really running out.
"It is said that 'Falling Snow' is an elegant and agile piece of music, and when it is played, it will be accompanied by snow falling from the sky, which will attract people to enter the country, and it can make the listener feel sad and cry!" Mu Yun'er thought and said.
Although she was not very interested in these elegant things, but Mu Zeqing liked them, so she had some understanding, and she also agreed with Mu Zeqing's decision, there were too many enchantment formation mechanisms in the wind and snow, and they didn't have time to find them one by one.
"I've only heard my mother play it once, and I remember a few fragments." Saying that, Mu Zeqing stroked the strings with his memory.
Rino, who was standing aside and listening to Mu Zeqing's music, suddenly remembered, "This song...... I think I've heard ...... somewhere."
The gradually familiar sound of the piano evokes the memory of the wind dyed the moon, isn't this the tune that the moon god once played, and the moon has not been heard in the past hundred years.
Mu Zeqing looked at Rino in surprise, "Have you heard?" ”
This 'Falling Snow' was a piece played by his mother, and I remember that his mother said that this song was written by a good friend, so would Rino have a clue about his mother?
"Not only have I heard it, but I seem to have learned it." Rino smiled, because the moon god would play that song every night, so at that time, Ran Yue also secretly found the music score in the moon god's study and practiced by the waterfall by herself.
The time for the trial is approaching, Mu Zeqing has no choice but to lend his piano to the eager Rino, who can indeed play every scale accurately, but there is no skill and emotional integration, and intermittently, if you don't listen carefully, you think she is playing randomly.
"It's ...... Difficult... Listen...... Right! After Rino finished playing, he looked up and saw everyone frowning and covering his ears, and smiled weakly for a while, after all, Dye Yue was self-taught at that time, and the strings didn't touch for long, but the score was remembered clearly.
"It's okay, it's good that you can pop it up completely, I can probably restore it, or I'll do it!" Mu Zeqing took the piano from Rino's hand, and began to play according to Rino's score, recalling the tune he had heard.
The sound of the piano is accompanied by the slight sound of wind and snow, so that the peaceful and quiet melody is filled with irrepressible sadness, and the feeling of sadness is permeated, which is regret and lamentation.
The music sets in motion and evokes memories for all, especially the musicians who are proficient in the rhythm!
Mu Zeqing was deeply immersed in it, watching life and death continue to play out in front of his eyes, he seemed to be lamenting his incompetence, losing his mother, losing his family, he had lost too many things, so much that he couldn't afford it anymore.
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and a crisp whistle suddenly appeared in the quiet wind and snow, which made people feel creepy, they looked for the small immature voice and left, there was nothing else in the endless wind and snow, but the whistle was still echoing, and everyone standing in the snow was gradually affected by it, falling into a deep sadness, recalling all kinds of past events, sad past.
The thoughts hidden in the depths of their hearts were triggered, and gradually formed inner demons devoured their spiritual power, slowly leading them into the dark abyss.
