Chapter 5 The Furnace Burns the Forging Body
The white clouds are long, the blue sky is clear, the mountains are majestic, the pine wind is rustling, Ji Kang sits on the rock that sticks out of the cliff top, waving the five strings in his hand, and the sound of the piano is like a string of rain drops that are thin and slightly cool, along the dangerous cliffs, they are sprinkled one after another.
At the bottom of the cliff is a bottomless deep pool, and the woman in Tsing Yi lies on her side on the clear water like a mirror, her elbows supporting her cheeks, her eyes are lowered, and her long and thick eyelashes are fluttering, like a pair of green butterflies perched on the water.
The sound of the piano echoed, and at the end of the song, Ji Kang turned his head and looked at the woman in the deep pool under the hundred zhang.
"Autumn rain, ancient road, leaving people, lonely geese...... That's probably all I heard. The woman in Tsing Yi pondered for a moment and spoke. Her voice was slightly hoarse, revealing a tactful charm, like the rustling of bamboo leaves.
Ji Kang was silent for a while, and said, "Senior is smart, and I only played these." ”
The woman in Tsing Yi raised her head and smiled, there were beautiful blue dark lines on both sides of her cheeks, her eyes were blue, her eyebrows were blue, and even her smile was bright and transparent, like a breeze blowing through a bamboo forest. "This song is too lonely, the sadness is too much, and it needs to be a little restrained. That young swordsmanship genius you highly admire, does it remind you of Jiang Yan again?"
Ji Kang smiled bitterly: "Although the qin music pays attention to sadness but not sadness, but people are not plants and trees, how can they control it to a certain extent? Why don't I change to a more cheerful tune, what do my predecessors want to hear?"
The naked white and tender slender feet of the woman in Tsing Yi swayed gently, and soft ripples rippled on the water: "You are really doing your best." ”
"I have already made an agreement with my predecessors: my predecessors allow me to be happy here, and many rare treasures are available to us, and Ji Kang plays the piano for my predecessors, and I have the right to make a little reward, how can I not do my best?"
"To be able to listen to the moving strings of the world's first guqin master at any time, what is a little vulgar thing? Why bother working so hard and being willing to make wedding dresses for others?"
"The predecessors were born with spiritual creatures, one person and one family, and they lived without worry. Even if the name of the Eight Desolations Merchant Group is resounding all over the world, and the trade is all over the world, it is just a game in the dust of you. Ji Kang's fingers hooked the strings and made a sound of agitation, "But Ji Kang is a son of a family, a son of a Taoist family, a son of a great Jin courtier, and a member of the human race." What I ask for, my predecessors will not understand. ”
The water sleeves of the woman in Tsing Yi were stretched far away, and the cliff shook abruptly, sinking inch by inch, until it fell to the edge of the deep pool. She chuckled at Ji Kang: "Speaking of which, this seat is a little envious of your concern, and I don't know what it's like." Come, let's see, what is the situation of those juniors you are concerned about?"
With her magnetic laughter, a colorful cave appeared in the void around the waterhole, like an endless bamboo tube, and the stars surrounded the woman in Tsing Yi like the moon.
The figures of Zhi Zhenzhen, Xie Xuan and others appeared in one of the caves.
"Boom!" Outside the iron furnace, the one-eyed man pulled the bellows violently, and the scorching flames swelled and steamed, and sparks splashed out in the hearth.
"Whew...... It's so hot!Ahem...... What the fuck!" Xie Xuan closed his eyes, choked on the smoke in his mouth and nose, and couldn't help coughing and scolding. Although the flesh turned into a hard piece of iron, the internal organs still felt hot and throbbed.
He couldn't hear the voices of others, and couldn't help but be surprised and surprised, his eyes opened slightly, and he happened to meet the contemptuous eyes that Meng Mengda threw at him.
Xie Xuan was stunned, and through the flickering smoke of the flames, he found that Xie Yongxu and Yuan An were on the side, leaning against the red furnace wall, silently. Even the monkey spirit was at ease, looking around boredly and flicking its slender tail.
Xie Xuan's face was embarrassed for a while, and he quickly closed his eyes, pretending not to see Meng Mengda. The bellows "whirsh" and the temperature in the furnace rises rapidly, and the flames turn into a shiny incandescent color, burning the skin violently.
Xie Xuan gritted his teeth, trembling in pain, and his internal organs seemed to be about to melt into molten iron. He couldn't hear Yuan An's painful sound, so he had to hold on hard, and he was anxious for a while. Isn't this kid Yuan An in pain? Why don't you scream in pain? You fucking scream!
Zhikari Shin's eyes were closed, the scorching fire still flickering on the net, and the tongue of fire greedily licked his whole body, scraping like a sharp razor, over and over again......
The stinging pain reminded him of Zhiye, of the year he had gone, clenching his little hands tightly, trembling, and breaking his finger bones, "click-click-" one after another. "If you can't even endure this pain, give up the branch clan and give up the mission of your ancestors!"
At that time, he was covered with cold sweat, and he never said a word, like a young beast bound by iron chains, covered with scaly wounds, but his hair was still standing up, and his fangs were still baring with cold light.
The flames were surging and undulating, the hearth was like a pot of boiling soup, and Xie Yongxu beside him let out a slight gasp. Zhi Hunt Zhen hung his head silently, and a sad smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In fact, what can't hold on is Zhiye.
A mission without hope will only make people despair.
The year Shino died, he got the relief he wanted. And his son has to continue to hold on.
Shikashi tried his best to open his eyes, and compared to the dazzling flames, the ashes after burning were called despair. He had seen such bleak ashes under the eyes of Zhiye, Ba Wolf, Zhao Dieniang, and Dong Xue.
But he also wanted to cry out loud in pain!
In the scorching firelight, a small furry paw reached over and gently grasped his hand.
The boy's heart suddenly calmed down.
Xiao Anzi, don't put up with it, hurry up and scream! Xie Xuan grinned in pain, wanted to cry without tears, and struggled to keep silent. Suddenly, a thick pair of tongs reached into the hearth, clamped Xie Yongxu, and pulled it out and put it on the anvil. The one-eyed giant man picked up the sledgehammer, "Bang!" slammed into Xie Yongxu, sparks burst out, and a trace of turbid light smoke floated out, Xie Yongxu couldn't help but let out a low snort.
"Tell you thieves to steal my skirts! Hit, blow!" said the cyclops, roaring merrily as he hammered the iron.
On the deep pool, the woman in Tsing Yi smiled: "Although they have suffered a little, they can use this to refine the flesh, forge the impurities in the flesh and blood, and purify the essence in the body. Together with their knowledge, they will also benefit a lot. She looked away, her jade hand covering the corners of her mouth, and yawned lazily.
"Thank you seniors for your success. Ji Kang said happily, "It's still early, why don't I play the best Guangling San for my predecessors?"
The woman in Tsing Yi looked at her: "I want to listen to a song, a song that can make me worry about it from now on, can you?"
Ji Kang was slightly stunned.
"Even if you are a fairy in the piano, there are songs that you can't play. The woman in Tsing Yi sighed lightly, her water sleeves shook, and the caves in the sky disappeared one after another.
