Chapter 50: Acacia
Walking into the courtyard, Bai Wei took the purple magic sword from Xia Zixuan's hand and began to dance the sword.
Moving like the wind, quiet as a bell, dressed in white, a little purple light flying, it looks like a dynamic ink painting.
Xia Zixuan looked at the white figure dancing with the purple charm sword in front of her, and she seemed to be a little stupid.
Suddenly, she came to her senses, and a pale red cloud suddenly flew out of her face.
What the hell was she thinking? Obviously she was watching the moves, but her mind was elsewhere, she clenched her fists fiercely, and the pain of her nails embedded in her palms made her sober up a little.
Holding her breath, she focused her attention on the tricks that Bai Wei demonstrated.
I saw Bai Wei jump, turned around, waved with one hand, and made an extremely sharp move, "whoosh", the purple charm sword emitted a "purple sword qi", only to hear a "click", and the "purple sword qi" split a tree not far away into several pieces.
Then, he said to Xia Zixuan: "Miss Xia, I will speed up the demonstration next, you have to observe carefully and strive to remember it once." ”
Xia Zixuan nodded and said, "Okay." ”
The light and shadow floated, the white clothes fluttered, and Bai Wei's figure was like thunder and lightning, shuttling through the woods.
Fortunately, Xia Zixuan is a well-informed woman on weekdays, so it is not a problem for her to quickly memorize these tricks.
Finally, Bai Wei stopped, put away the move, returned the Purple Charm Sword to Xia Zixuan and asked, "How is it?" Miss Xia, have you written it down, do you need me to show it to you again?"
Xia Zixuan smiled and said, "I probably remember everything." I'll practice it a few more times, and I'm sure I'll be able to get it done soon. ”
Bai Wei said indifferently: "That's good." ”
Xia Zixuan said: "Brother Bai, you are also tired, go back and rest first." I'll practice here again. ”
Bai Wei nodded and said, "That's good." You can practice for a while and go to rest as soon as possible, don't be too forced. ”
Xia Zixuan smiled slightly: "Hmm." ”
Hearing this, Bai Wei turned around lightly and walked back into the Hundred Grass Hall.
After Bai Wei left, Xia Zixuan felt relaxed, but also a little empty in her heart, feeling that Bai Wei was missing from her side, and there was an inexplicable sense of emptiness in her heart.
Could it be that he was actually attracted to this man?
Xia Zixuan didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she hurriedly waved the purple charm sword and practiced alone in the courtyard.
For a while, the skirts fluttered, the hair flew, Xia Zixuan's soft figure fluttered, and the cold purple light crossed the blue sky, outlining a beautiful arc.
After a long time, Xia Zixuan felt a little tired and her breathing began to be short, she stopped dancing and sat lightly on the grass to adjust her breathing.
After Xia Zixuan rested for a while, her body gradually relaxed.
At this moment, the lingering figure appeared in front of her eyes again.
Bai Wei, this silent and lonely man, quietly walked into the depths of her heart without knowing when.
Perhaps, it was from the first time they met in the blue sea fairyland, he saw that he was exactly the same face as his lover Zhenzhu and showed a surprised and lonely expression; perhaps, it was in the first few days of getting along in Baicaotang, Bai Wei taught her immortal arts, his lonely figure, lonely and cold appearance, deeply engraved into her heart.
However, Xia Zixuan always remembered that she did not belong here.
Even if she comes to the Blue Sea Wonderland, it is an accidental accident, and sooner or later, she will find a chance to return to the human world.
She ran to the Purple Lotus Hall and walked to the ancient well in the corner of the courtyard.
Then a bucket of water was carried from a wooden barrel and poured into a wooden basin.
She washed her face with cool water and finally sobered up.
She held her breath again, ready to practice how to send out the Lobelia Weapon again.
First, she concentrated her strength, focused her attention on a tree in front of her, and lifted her qi from the dantian to her chest.
Next, this qi is transported to the arm, and the qi is used to drive the movements on the arm. In the end, Qi and arm merged into one, and Xia Zixuan felt a sudden burst of power rushing out from her arm.
Only a few "whoosh" sounds were heard, and countless lobelia flew from her palm towards the trunk of the tree at the speed of light.
For a while, there was a tendency to chaos and collapse.
Xia Zixuan was also shocked by the trick she sent, and stared blankly at the place where the trees were split.
"Yes, that's good. Xia Bing sighed while stroking his palm.
"Why are you here?"
Xia Bing pursed his lips and said, "What, can't I come?"
Xia Zixuan said embarrassedly: "Of course not, I'm just curious, why did you come so early." ”
"Because there's something urgent. Xia Bing frowned and said, "What happened in the past few days is too bizarre, we have to find a way to investigate and solve this matter as soon as possible." ”
"Let's go, follow me to find Bai Wei. ”
With that, Xia Bing walked towards Baicaotang, and Xia Zixuan also followed her.
"Hey, Brother Bai, what are we going to do next?" Xia Bing asked as he looked at Bai Wei, who was practicing swords in the courtyard.
Bai Wei put away the Xuanguang Ten Star Sword and said slowly: "In the morning, the Soul Returning Incense told me that he had already gone to Lingxiao Tower to keep an eye on it, to see if Lu Rui and the strange woman in purple from last time would appear again." I remember that Liushui was there, and you let Bantianhe secretly spy on him, right?"
"Hmm. Xia Bing nodded and said, "Next, are we going to go to a few other places to investigate clues?"
"That's right, the sooner you find out, the better. Perhaps, people in several other places will know the whereabouts of the hawksbill turtle. Bai Wei said while thinking.
"Okay, then I'll take Xia Zixuan to the pear blossom town restaurant first. You call the civet cat and go to the Lao Lin pawnshop and the old horse antique shop. ”
"Okay. You guys take the map and go, I'll call the civet. ”
"Good. After that, Xia Bing called Xia Zixuan to set off together.
This time, Xia Bing did not teleport directly, but took Xia Zixuan to the main gate of the Blue Sea Wonderland.
As soon as I arrived at the gate, I heard only the sound of the piano.
The voice is rich and agitated, delicate and quaint.
But it is not as loud and cheerful as the guzheng, and the performance effect is immediate; it is not as sharp as the pipa, and the big beads and small beads fall on the jade plate directly; and it is not as crisp and cheerful as the dulcimer, sprinkled with hundreds of sounds.
This is exactly the sound of Xia Zixuan's favorite musical instrument on weekdays, the guqin.
Its voice is like a dream, like a cry. Sometimes euphemistic, sometimes vigorous, sometimes elegant, sometimes far-reaching and leisurely. There is a sense of independence from the world, and there is the wonder of feathering immortals.
Hearing the sound of the piano, Xia Zixuan asked curiously, "Hey, who is playing the piano here?"
Xia Bing said: "Acacia." ”
Xia Zixuan sighed: "Acacia, such a lyrical name, it must be an affectionate woman, right?"
Xia Bing said: "It's a big mistake. I don't know if it's affectionate or not, but he's a man. ”
Xia Zixuan was surprised: "What?!How can a man play such a lyrical tune? ”
Xia Bing said: "Men can't be lyrical? You know, men are infatuated, sometimes more than women, as the so-called 'Hongchen has its own infatuation'." ”
Xia Zixuan pursed her lips and said, "Boring." ”
As the two of them moved forward, probably because they were getting closer to the player, the sound of the piano gradually became louder.
At this time, in the smoke, you can vaguely see a person sitting in front of the desk under a green pine.
Xia Zixuan was surprised to find that Acacia turned out to be a monk.
True, he didn't have a single hair on the top of his head, and he also had several noticeable ring scars.
She patted Xia Bing, who was walking in front, on the shoulder and said, "Hey, he's actually a monk?!"
Xia Bing glanced back at her and said, "What's the matter?"
Xia Zixuan smiled and clutched her stomach and said, "This... It's hilarious, isn't it? ”
Xia Bing said: "What are you laughing at? ”
Xia Zixuan still couldn't stop, she looked at Acacia and continued to smile at Xia Bing: "Haha." It's already ridiculous for a big man to name Acacia, and he is still a monk. ”
Xia Bing turned around and made a closed mouth gesture and said, "Shhh I'll talk about it later, and be careful that he hears it. ”
Xia Zixuan pursed her lips and grimaced at Xia Bing.
Acacia's piano skills seem to have reached the realm of perfection, and I saw that he was looking straight ahead, without looking at the piano in his palm, he could already play a graceful piano sound.
His eyes were no different from those of ordinary monks, a little hollow, and there was no joy in his facial expressions.
His dress is also extremely simple, wearing a white coarse cloth monk's robe, and only a string of Buddhist beads hangs on his body.
As the distance gradually advanced, Xia Zixuan saw clearly that under his hands, there was a guqin.
No wonder the sound of the piano that the two of them heard just now was so quaint.
The guqin, also known as the yaoqin, jade qin, and seven-stringed qin, is one of the oldest plucked musical instruments in China.
The qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are also known as the four arts, which are used to summarize the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, and the guqin is the first of the four arts.
The sound of the guqin is very unique, and you can feel the quiet and distant of the guqin when you listen to the music.
The appearance of this qin alone is no different from that of ordinary guqin, and it seems that it should be the common Zhongni style.
However, the structure of its parts is very special.
The surface of the instrument shows clear cracks, which shows the age of the instrument. Because the surface of the guqin can only gradually form various fractures due to years of weathering and vibration during playing.
Its mountains and mountains could not even see what it was made of, and it did not look like hardwood, but gold and stone. However, if it is a mountain made of gold and stone, it is impossible to make the strings make a rich sound, which is really incredible.
And its strings, which do not resemble modern steel wires, are dull yellow, running from the Yueshan Mountains through the surface to the dragon's gum.
The most peculiar thing is its emblem.
Generally, the Qin emblem of the guqin is made of luodian, and the scholars are also made of gold, silver, jade, and stone. However, it is unheard of that the emblem of this instrument appears to be made of thirteen large blue-blue pearl-like objects embedded in the body of the instrument.
Acacia seemed to be completely immersed in the sound of the piano, and it seemed that he didn't see the two people not far away.
His fingering is also unhurried and varied.
