Chapter Fifty-Eight: Survival Song
The Dongting Gang's Law Enforcement Hall is heavily guarded, with a secret room inside, which is dedicated to imprisoning key criminals in the gang.
Surrounded by Qiu Yun's group, Guan Ti came to a secret room. The chamber is surrounded by iron walls, with a wooden bed, a square table, and a chair.
Qiu Yun waited for Guan to enter the secret room, so he locked the door of the secret room, and arranged personnel to guard the secret room, before leaving with peace of mind.
Guan was lying on his back on the wooden bed in the secret room, countless thoughts flashing through his mind. The deaths of Dai Xuantian and Jiang Yuerou had too many clues, which he couldn't figure out.
Late at night, the floor in the middle of the chamber suddenly bulged, and the entire floor was removed. A hole appeared in the middle of the chamber, and a figure quickly jumped to the ground. Naturally, these changes did not escape the feeling of sleepless night.
When the visitor stood still, Guan Ti also got off the bed. At this time, although there is no light in the room, it is based on the sense of breath. Guan Ti felt very familiar to the visitor.
When Guan was confused, the person who came had already spoken: "Don't panic, nephew, I'm your Uncle Qiu." That's how I meet you late at night. There is a last resort. β
Guan Ti heard the voice and recognized that it was Law Enforcement Elder Qiu Yun: "It's Elder Qiu! Uncle Qiu, why are you?"
Qiu Yun said: "Although there is various evidence that you did the death of Deputy Gang Leader Dai, there are also many doubts in it. I meet you today with only a few questions for you. β
Guan Ti replied: "Uncle Qiu, just ask! If my nephew knows, he will definitely answer truthfully." β
"Okay, before Deputy Gang Master Dai died. Take advantage of the derivation of Wen and Zhiwu to find you. He said that he had important matters to decide with you. Can I tell you about that?"
Guan shook his head and said, "Brother Dai just sent Shengwen and Zhiwu to find me." said that it was an important matter in the gang, but did not say in detail. Brother Dai is mostly in charge of the affairs of the gang, and I don't pay much attention to it. β
Qiu Yun continued: "Half a month ago, the Poyang Gang sent someone to discuss the matter of the Five Lakes and the Gang, but Deputy Gang Leader Dai refused. Then, Deputy Gang Leader Dai sent someone to look for you. Now that I think about it, the matter that Deputy Dai Gang mainly discusses with you is probably related to the matter of the Five Lakes and the Gang. β
Back then, Yindan Zhenren unified the five lakes, and later divided into five gangs. How can someone bring up the matter of Wuhu and help today? What are the plans of this Poyang Gang?"
Qiu Yun replied: "In recent years, the power of the Poyang Gang has continued to grow. Qiu Yuan, the leader of the Poyang Gang, is said to have discovered the ruins of the Hidden Pill and practiced a supreme skill. This person is domineering and constantly encroaches on large and small gangs, which makes the strength of the Poyang Gang continue to expand in the past few years. This proposal to merge the five lakes is intended to unify the five lakes and respect them as the master. On that day, the Poyang Gang came, although they did not directly express their intentions. But the meaning of hegemony is very obvious. I think that my Dongting Gang has been famous in the rivers and lakes for hundreds of years, how can I become a subsidiary of others. On the same day, Deputy Gang Leader Dai sternly refused. It's just that the middle and senior leaders of the gang who were present at the time also had different opinions. The East Helm, North Helm, and South Helm Helmsmen and the deacon elder Xu Shen strongly agreed with the Five Lakes and Gang. Several people made suggestions to Deputy Gang Leader Dai, which made Deputy Gang Leader Dai angry, and then stopped. I just didn't want to, and it didn't take long for Deputy Gang Leader Dai to die. Now that I think about it, I am afraid that the matter of the Five Lakes Gang is very related to the murder of Deputy Dai's gang leader. When I met you like this, I also felt that there were a lot of changes in the gang. I'm afraid that many spies have infiltrated our gang. The death of Deputy Gang Leader Dai is the best sign. β
After speaking, Qiu Yun looked at Guan Ti with a concerned face: "Now the middle and upper levels of the gang have a lot of hatred for you." Several of the helmsmen in the gang are even more anxious to put you to death. Cowardly, you grew up watching me. I know your character very well. I really don't believe that you would do such a bad thing. I, Qiu Yun, have been very kind to me all my life, and the old gang leader Guan is as kind to me as a mountain. I can't bear to let him break off from now on. You can escape from the Dongting Gang through this secret passage tonight! The matter will be clarified in the coming day, and you will be cleared. It's not too late for you to come back. β
Hearing this, Guan Yi bowed to Qiu Yun: "Uncle Qiu, you are usually cowardly and confused, and you don't ask much about the affairs of the gang." That's why I'm so passive today. When Cowardly goes out this time, he must find out about the killing of Big Brother Dai. Help the middle and bottom, Uncle Qiu, you have to worry a lot. After speaking, he bowed to Qiu Yun again.
At that moment, Qiu Yun helped Guan Ti up, and the two went to the secret cave. The secret cave has a long twist and turn, and it has been around for a long time, but it leads to a pile of rubble. The two of them came out, and at this time, a small boat had already been prepared not far from the pile of rocks.
Qiu Yun waited for Guan to get into the boat timidly, and then pushed the boat into the lake. waved his hand at Guan Ti, and seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to Guan Ti: "Cowardly, today that Ji Ru mentioned the matter of the Yin Dan Ruins. You want to get noticed. I'm afraid that this Poyang Gang is also very attentive to the Yin Dan ruins that our gang has mastered. You have to be on your guard. β
Guan Ti hurriedly responded. Then he rowed a small boat alone and disappeared into Dongting Lake at night.
That night, Qiu Yun returned to his residence, stood under the window, and looked at the night in the distance, his eyes flashed with some confusion and some relief. I was waiting to close the window and rest. Suddenly, the door opened, Qiu Yun turned his head, and saw Guan Ti walking into the room. Just as he was about to speak, his timid body had already arrived in front of Qiu Yun, and his right palm was against Qiu Yun's chest.
"Heartbreaker, you, you're not cowardly. Murderer, murderer. Qiu Yun exhaled his last breath. Na Guan turned around timidly and knocked a folding fan on Qiu Yun's headβ’β’β’β’β’β’
On the second day, the law enforcement elder of the Dongting Gang was killed, and the news that the suspect Guan had escaped quickly spread all over the world. A hunt and kill order for Guan Ti was also issued.
Liang Jing and others bowed in front of the spiritual seat of the deputy gang leader Dai and his wife in Dongting, and after the incense, they went to the boat and went to Biyou Palace. Xiao Ling and Liu Yixu also followed Liang Jing.
This Liang Jing and Xiao Ling are also bosom friends in music, one of them plays the piano and the other plays the flute. Playing some tunes, everyone listened to them all the way, and they were all fascinated by the music. The boat traveled soon to Dejunshan Island.
Junshan is surrounded by water on all sides, and it is surrounded by clouds and mist all year round. The island is lush with vegetation, especially bamboo. The spotted bamboo on the island is famous all over the world, and the silver needle of Junshan is well-known.
Xiao Ling and Liu Yixu went to Dejun Mountain, and Liang Jing was hospitable. In the evening, the meal is over. When it comes to music, Liu Yixu takes out a bundle of bamboo slips from the study. Then handed it to Xiao Ling: "I have this flute music hidden in the Biyou Palace, called "Survival Song". I have been studying music theory for more than ten years, but I don't know much about this song recorded on this bamboo slip. Childe is very accomplished in flute sound, but I don't know if I can understand this song. β
Xiao Ling took the bamboo slip when he heard this, opened it, and looked at it. The bamboo slips and bamboo pieces are yellow, showing that they have been for a long time, but they are very well kept and have not yet been corroded and damaged. There are many musical notes carved on the bamboo slips, which are very difficult to understand at first glance. There are some unknown symbols mixed in the notes on it, which makes the whole piece empty in many places. Xiao Ling read it carefully several times, and then compared the symbols that he didn't understand in many places. It was found that there are also rules for unknown symbols, but there are actually only two kinds of unknown symbols, which are changed according to different rhythms. When he saw this clearly, Xiao Ling's heart was suddenly shocked. The appearance of the magic flute suddenly flashed in his mind. Xiao Ling is very familiar with the magic flute that he has always kept with him. To say that the difference between the magic flute and the ordinary bamboo flute, in addition to the uniqueness of the material. This is the magic flute that hides two holes in the back of the normal six sound holes. Xiao Ling didn't pay attention to the two holes when he saw them at first, but at this time, he had an idea in his mind when he looked at the score of this "Survival Song". The notes in the "Survival Song" were understood according to the content of the eight sound holes, and the score was looked at from the beginning again, and suddenly the notes were coherent and smooth. Unconsciously, Xiao Ling took out the bamboo flute. According to the understanding, I memorized it by heart and played it unconsciously.
The flute sounded, although there were a lot of omissions and omissions in the middle, but the sound of the song was surging, and everyone sank into it unconsciously, faintly, there seemed to be a sense of difficulty in self-control.
Xiao Ling hid the contents of the seventh and eighth sound holes of the whole piece and played it on an ordinary bamboo flute. Although it was missing, it was also shocked by this song. You must know that although the songs of ordinary days can cause changes in the mood of others, they do not seem to actively control the minds of others like this song.
After Xiao Ling finished playing, Liang Jing looked at Xiao Ling, with appreciation in her eyes: "Xiao Gongzi is really skilled, and he can play this piece to this extent with an ordinary bamboo flute." It's really impressive. β
Xiao Ling replied when he heard this: "The Lord of the Liang Palace has won the award, and there are many unclear places in this song. My performance is only barely coherent to see what can be seen in it. This piece is supposed to be extraordinary, and it doesn't come from nowhere. "Although Xiao Ling didn't want to deceive Liang Jing, the matter of the 'Magic Flute' was very serious, and Xiao Ling knew it in his heart, and he didn't dare to easily leak the matter of his hiding the 'Magic Flute'.
Liang Jing replied: "Xiao Gongzi still remembers the broken love flute." β
Xiao Ling replied: "Everything is broken when the love flute sounds, and the soul is lost when you play the dream piano." The power of the flute is unforgettable once you hear it. Could it be that this is the music played by the flute of love?"
Liang Jing nodded: "Xiao Gongzi guessed right, this love flute and the dream piano are originally the things of my Biyou Palace." The Broken Love Flute was taken away by someone else twenty years ago. In my Biyou Palace, there is still a score of the broken love flute. But no one could read the score. There are also many people in my palace who are dedicated to studying these scores and want to explore the secret of this broken love flute. It's just that nothing has been found so far. Childe's bamboo flute attainments are extraordinary, and he only came up with this song today. I didn't think you could understand it any further. I'm afraid it's one step closer to the sound of the broken love flute!"
Xiao Ling replied: "People who learn music always have a trace of obsession. The sound of the broken flute shatters everything, and it shouldn't be a good music. In comparison, I prefer the sound of the Liang Palace Master's dream qin. β
Liang Jing smiled and nodded: "The broken love flute is domineering, and the dream qin is tactful, each with its own autumn color." The sound of this broken flute is not all the sound of broken things. The decisiveness and sharpness of his voice are also rare in the world. β
At the moment, the two of them are talking about music, and the topic is continuous, and they have their own wonderful solutions.
Liu Yixu was not very interested in this way of music, and when she saw Xiao Ling, Liang Jing talked very happily. I didn't bother much, so I went back to my room alone to meditate and breathe.
