Chapter 005: Echoes of the Ancients
Windless Cliffs, as the name suggests, do not see traces of the wind here, nor can you hear the sound of the wind.
It is the height of summer, and the desolate windless cliff is like a depression when winter is coming.
There were no animals, and it seemed impossible to hear the sound of a living thing.
Places where there are hardly anyone to come, and naturally there is not a single figure walking around.
The sky was bright, and under the steepest cliff of the Windless Cliff, a young man stood with his hands in his hands, and behind him were a dozen subordinates dressed in black with expressionless swords.
On a piece of bluestone next to him, lying down I don't know how long I have been asleep, whether he is dead or alive.
"Wake him up. The man instructed his subordinates behind him.
One of them walked over and shook Li Xian, who was lying on the bluestone, a few times.
Li Xian, who was not uncomfortable, only felt stiff, touched the back of his head and sat up, glanced around, and the first thing he saw was these dozen strangers.
Wrong!
He seems to have an impression of taking the lead.
Li Xian, who has always had a good memory, remembered that this was not the real face he saw on Wan Gyu last night.
In a flash, the memories of last night slowly became clearer.
Returning to the Li family from the Li family ancestral hall, not long after lying down, the shouting shook the sky, and he ran out in a panic, and saw the old and young of the Li family howling and running everywhere.
Pulled a person to ask clearly, saying that the beasts entered the city at night, and the number was too numerous to count.
Li Mingshan came, and found someone to take him and several children of the Li family to the spare basement of the Li family.
More than a dozen people hid in the basement, reaching out and not seeing their fingers, and I don't know how long it was, a voice came, and the door at the exit of the basement opened and someone walked in.
Before these people could identify who came in from the faint light, Li Xian didn't know what was concentrated in his chest, and he instantly lost his intuition, and when he woke up, he appeared in the strange windless cliff.
Li Xian had heard of this place in the mouths of the Li family, and they described it as like an eighteen-layer hell on earth, and when adults scare children, they will say "disobedient, throw you to the windless cliff".
Near Zhu Zhechi, Li Xian was also affected by the change of color.
A completely atheistic worldview seems to be useless in this fantasy world where anything can happen.
The only thing that is still a little consolating is that at least he can't die for now, and if these people want his life, why wait until now.
"What's your name?" the leading man asked Li Xian, who had already come down from the bluestone.
"Li Xian. He replied.
"Do you know why I brought you here?"
Li Xian shook his head: "I don't know." ”
It's not about being afraid, and it's not that there is a deep city government pretending to be calm, not humble or silent, and it's better to die than to live, take one step at a time.
"Do you know this jade flute? "What the leader is holding in his hand is the jade flute that he left behind that he never forgot when he was hit by a blow in the Li Family Ancestral Hall last night.
Li Xian, who couldn't tell what was weird and couldn't tell what it was, had to answer casually: "Yes, I saw it last night." ”
Thinking about it further, Li Xian probably understood that in this person's heart, I was afraid that the weight of this jade flute was definitely much higher than his own, and he was a little more relieved.
When he returned to Li's house last night, he put this jade flute in the cabinet in his room.
Suddenly shouting, hurriedly followed the Li family to the basement, and had long forgotten the strange jade flute in the room.
This person was able to capture him at the same time, and also found this jade flute in the Li family, it seems that their eyes are self-explanatory.
It's just that Li Xian can't figure it out, what's the use of himself when he has the jade flute? Let this person waste so much effort and bring himself to this windless cliff where birds don't?
The man stared at Li Xian, as if he wanted to find a way to spy on his every move, even a slight movement and reaction: "You...... Who the hell is it?"
A bit of a nonsensical question, Li Xian couldn't help but smile: "Since you are so capable, who I am must have been investigated." ”
"Yes, it is indeed clear on the surface, the little young master of the Li family, a little gentleman, has nothing to do, and has achieved nothing. No talent, no hard work, mixed food and waiting for death...... There is very little left to pay attention to. ”
Li Xian was not angry, nor did he dare to be angry: "Since you know, why do you knowingly ask?"
"Do you know that this ordinary jade flute was abnormal last night, a thousand years ago, this is an ordinary jade flute. The Li family doesn't care and won't use it. Even I, after getting the jade flute for the first time, I thought it was a fake and went to Master Li Jiaxing to ask for the guilt. But last night, this ordinary jade flute appeared abnormal. More precisely, it shows what it is capable of. Then the question is, why did the jade flute, which has been calm for a thousand years, change like this?"
Lao Tzu still wants to ask you, Li Xian muttered in his heart, how does he know what is going on with this thing.
"Don't you think you're asking a bit redundant? Like you said, I'm just a little gentleman, mediocre, idle, so far worse than you, you don't know, how can I know. ”
The man's gaze did not drift in the slightest on Li Xian: "The problem is precisely with you, this jade flute seems to have been 'resurrected' because of you." ”
Rao is Li Xian is confident that his brain is active and his reaction speed is first-class, and he didn't expect this person to say such absurd and uninhibited words.
What does this ghost have to do with himself, he saw it for the first time yesterday in the Li family ancestral hall.
What does resurrection mean?
What does this guy think he means?
Forcibly suppressed a series of questions, Li Xian was a little calmer than just now, the deeper he was involved, maybe it would be safer; if it was really as this guy said, he resurrected this jade flute, looking at that posture, he might have gotten a safe talisman.
"What do you mean?" Li Xian pointed to himself.
"I don't know at the moment, but you have a lot to do with this jade flute. ”
What kind of plane is you doing, this guy talked about it for a long time and guessed, Li Xian's courage was much bigger: "I don't know who you are? I don't know what your intention is to go to Li's house by disguising your identity? But if you want to kill me, let me die clearly." ”
"Don't test me, if you want to kill you, can you still live until now?" The man suddenly frowned, and looked at the more strange the kid opposite him looked at the more he looked at it: "The group of wastes of the Li family naturally can't discover my disguise technique, even the top masters may not be able to see through it at a glance, and you saw it at the scene of the Li family ancestral hall yesterday?"
"What's the matter, pediatric things, you can see it at a glance, and you still need so much power, so high-minded?" Li Xian didn't lie or belittle this guy who currently holds the power of life and death in his hands, he told the truth, and it was indeed easy to see through his true face.
"You come with me. Without much hesitation, the man walked towards the cliff.
Li Xian followed behind, without any extra thoughts, just to know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of this scheming guy.
There is nothing above the cliff of the towering cloudy sky, and it is really bare to go to Shu Road and it is difficult to go to the blue sky.
Looking up, you can't see the top of the cliff.
There was no time to sigh at the magic of nature, Li Xian panicked and took the jade flute handed over by the man, and a twisted and crooked score: "This ancient song is called "All Beings", and it is one of the stunts of your Li family ancestors a thousand years ago. If you can't practice martial arts, it's naturally no problem to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and follow the song. ”
Although Li Xian was a small gentleman before, he was useless in other places, but in the Li family, which paid attention to education, he was a little familiar with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so that he would not be illiterate; according to his memory, he was a music idiot before the crossing, but he could understand the music score of more than 1,000 years ago.
I silently recited the song in my heart, kept it in my heart, took the ill-fated jade flute, and blew it.
Before he could move his fingers according to the score, when the first sound of the jade flute came out, it was like an ancient echo, rolling from the long and profound river of history, resounding beyond the clouds.
More than a dozen people on the side looked up at the sky, and the leader was more like crazy, his eyes were red, and he was as preoccupied as a man-eating beast.
Until the next moment, just after that sound, there was a roar from somewhere, and more than a dozen people on the spot were shaking and unsteady, and Li Xian's eyes were dark and he fainted.
It felt familiar.
He remembered that it was the night when the Li Family Ancestral Hall crossed, and he had exactly the same feeling when he fainted.
