Chapter 13: The Kite
Tianxiang Building is as quiet and elegant as its name.
Chu Ming and his party went up to the third floor only to find that there was only one table left, and it happened that on the left were the Qi Tianfeng people of the same sect, and on the right were Shangguan Hao and Ling Qian'er.
"It's really a narrow road!"
After sitting down, Xiao Yu'er muttered, Liu Sanbi was afraid that this little aunt and grandmother would make trouble here, so she quickly pulled her skirt sleeve gently.
After ordering a few pots of tea and ordering some snacks, everyone's attention naturally fell on the performance on the stage.
A woman in her twenties and eighteen-year-olds was dressed in a pale green floral dress, with a white veil on her face, and her green jade fingers slowly plucked, and a melodious melody sounded.
Zither!
Chu Ming didn't expect to see classical musical instruments with a long history in China in this otherworldly continent, and the melody evoked memories of his previous life, and his thoughts suddenly became uncertain.
Zither...... There is also one in the family in the previous life, which is a relic of the mother. His mother passed away early, and he didn't remember anything at that time, but later he learned from his father that his mother played the guzheng very well.
The desire for mother's love made Chu Ming have a strong interest in guzheng since he was a child, and after going to middle school, he saved money and finally scraped together enough tuition fees to enroll in an interest class. Chu Ming is very talented, but although the teacher tried his best to persuade him, he finally only took guzheng performance as a hobby, which can also be said to be a spiritual sustenance in his spare time.
After coming to this world, Chu Ming has seen a lot of things that are similar to those in his previous life, such as tea, wine, and Go...... The history of the Kamikaze Continent is so long that there is no history to be checked, it is not surprising that these things appear, the ones that can be seen before are far less than the impact on Chu Ming from the twenty-one strings that appeared in front of him at this time.
"Why don't we go back?" Meng Wushuang felt the abnormal emotional changes of the man next to him, and thought that it was because of the relationship between Shangguan Hao and Ling Qian'er next to him, so he said softly.
"I don't want to stay any longer, this melody ...... I don't understand. Xiao Yu'er really didn't have much interest in the rhythm, but she thought that the dim sum here was particularly delicious, but she was not very happy to see Chu Ming, and she also defeated the cravings in her stomach.
"It's okay, listen to it for a while!" Chu Ming smiled at the two of them, and said softly: "It's quite good, but the melody is too cheerful." ”
"Ignorance! The zither is just a pleasure during the feast, and the melody has to be cheerful to be good, is it possible to play something miserable? ”
Chu Ming turned his head when he heard this, and saw Lu Qingzheng staring at him with a provocative expression, and the eldest grandson Yue on the side was even more biting his cheeks and puffing up, and the posture seemed to be willing to eat him.
"If you don't know the rhythm, don't pretend to point fingers, beware of the wind flashing your tongue!" Eldest Sun Yue sneered.
Chu Ming really admired this woman who didn't remember to eat or fight, and slowly raised her head and chanted: "Circling the beam for three days, the twenty-one strings play the heavenly sound." played a song of liver and intestines, and everything in the world lost its soul! The breadth and profundity of the Zheng is beyond the comprehension of a vulgar person like you! ”
If it is something else, Chu Ming really may not have the leisure to worry about these two people, but he has a very special affection for the guzheng, not only the relationship between his mother, but also because this is one of the symbols of the thousand-year-old civilization of China in the previous life!
There is always something worth protecting, no matter when and where.
The girl on the stage had already noticed the arguments of several people, and her eyes lit up even more after hearing Chu Ming's words, and she whispered the verses chanted by Chu Ming: "If you play a song, everything in the world will lose its soul......"
Meng Wushuang didn't expect Chu Ming's emotions to suddenly get out of control, and what he saw from that unruly look was the slightest insistence on not giving in.
How many secrets is he still hiding?
Meng Wushuang couldn't help but sigh softly in her heart, only to feel that the man around her was like a bottomless pool, whenever she thought she was about to see clearly, but found that it was far from the end.
"That's nice, if you have the ability, you can go up and play a song? All things are lost in their souls, phew! ”
The ridicule and provocation on Lu Qing's face intensified.
Chu Ming raised his head slightly when he heard this, and said, "Since you are so interested, then let's make a bet!" ”
"What bet?"
"I'll go up and play a song, if you can make this girl cry, even if you lose!"
Chu Ming pointed to the woman playing on the stage as he spoke.
"Where's the color head?"
"If I lose, I'll give you three Qi Purification Pills, and if you lose, drill all the tables here for me!"
Three Qi Purifying Pills? This temptation is not small, listening to the first half of Lu Qing's face is happy, but the second half of the sentence makes him angry.
"Do you want to die?"
"What, afraid of losing?"
"Don't provoke me over there, you will have a Purifying Qi Pill on you?"
"I have, I have!" Xiao Yu'er suddenly came to her senses, and immediately took out a white porcelain bottle from the ring, poured it out and found that there were only two pills left, and turned around Liu San beside her and argued: "Hurry up Senior Brother Liu, lend me one!" ”
It's really a girl who doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement! Liu San couldn't argue with this grinding little junior sister, and was about to take it, but saw that Meng Wushuang had already taken out three pure qi pills and put them on the table.
"Senior Brother Chu is the person from our Falling Dust Peak, and this bet will be made by me!"
Intuition told Meng Wushuang that Lu Qing would definitely lose!
Lu Qing didn't believe that Chu Ming really had this ability, and now if he didn't dare to agree to this situation, he wouldn't be able to get off the stage, and said with a sneer: "Okay, I'll just wait to see you embarrassed!" ”
In the attic facing the stage, a pair of eyes had been watching from the window what was happening below, and the owner of the eyes was a beautiful woman in a long dress and a jasper hairpin. Seeing Chu Ming get up and walk to the stage, the woman was full of interest, turned her head to the man standing behind her in black and asked with a murderous face, "What is this person's name?" ”
"Ling Tian Sect Chu Ming, who entered the Ling Yun Sect ten years ago, has not been able to comprehend qi. Three months ago, she was framed by Ling Qian'er, the daughter of the sect master of the Lingyun Sect, and was expelled from the sect, and joined the Ling Tianzong a month ago, and now worships under the Ning Luoxi Sect of Luochen Peak. ”
For such an inconspicuous little character as Chu Ming, he can count the treasures, which shows how deep the water behind this Tianxiang Building is.
Chu Ming, who walked on the stage, didn't rush to play, tried the strings first, then glanced down, and slowly said, "Before I start playing, I'll tell you a story!" ”
