Chapter 8: Heartstrings

Although Xiang had ticked off the name of Bai Narcissus from the Soul Hunting Record, the White Narcissus on the bed still did not wake up.

The candle flame was rekindled in the room, and Cangming sat in the room and hung silk to diagnose the pulse of White Narcissus.

After a long time, he retracted the silk thread and said, "The soul has been stabilized. But he himself did not want to wake up. ”

Maybe it's really like what Xiang said, Bai Narcissus has the will to die, even if his name is no longer on the Soul Hunting Record, he still closes himself and doesn't want to wake up.

Mu Yuan couldn't help but sigh slightly: "I had already guessed before I came here that there might be such an ending. After a long pause, he took out a small incense burner in the shape of a lotus flower from his sleeve: "Inside, I took the Forgotten Dust incense from the Guiwang Pavilion. Perhaps, forgetting the past, Nanqin will live a little easier. ”

Each of the spices in the Guiwang Pavilion has a peculiar effect. As the name suggests, forgetting the dust can make people forget the past, including love, hate, joy and anger.

When the wind receded, he hesitated slightly. After a long silence, he said, "That's it, it's fine." ”

Cangming and Bai Zhi did not intervene at this time.

Inevitably affected by the Forgotten Dust Incense, after everyone closed their sense of smell, they watched Mu Yuan light the spices and put the small lotus incense burner next to the bed.

The cyan smoke rose in a curling manner, not very thick, but lingered not far from the bed, and never dispersed.

In the smoke, it seems that something has been taken away, and there seems to be nothing.

After dawn on the second day, Mu Yuan had already left. As a knowledgeable person, he couldn't leave Kyoto casually without the permission of the empress, but this time the incident was suddenly urgent, so he cast a spell overnight and rushed to Fengcheng.

However, as long as you go back in time, no one will find out. The Nine Gate Admiral Guards who inspect the Imperial Capital may be aware of it, but Jimo Lingyan, who is in charge of the Admiral Guard, has a deep friendship with him, and he will turn a blind eye to this without noticing.

Changsheng, who had a good night's sleep, did not meet with Zhishi Muyuan, and Shen Yan and Qiuluo together, while eating the sumptuous breakfast prepared by Linjiang Building, he listened to Cangming talk about what happened last night.

Bai Zhi occasionally responded with a sentence or two, but more often than not, he was as silent as ever. He wasn't a talkative personality in the first place, and that wasn't surprising.

When the wind retreated and entered the door, his face was full of spring, and he first saluted Bai Zhi before saying, "Narcissus has woken up this morning." said that you have realized a new song, if you don't dislike it, you can go to Siqin Pavilion to listen to it. ”

Before the others could reply, Changsheng had already opened his eyes and nodded with surprise and said, "Okay, good, Nanqin's sound is unparalleled in the world, of course you can't miss it." Sister Yan, Sister Qiuluo, do you say?"

Shen Yan nodded hesitantly, but Qiuluo said with a smile: "What Changsheng said is good. Judging from her past experience, what Changsheng agreed to, unless it would have any bad influence or danger on her, Cangming and Bai Zhi generally would not have any opinions.

Sure enough, Bai Zhi nodded slightly, and Cangming tapped the little girl's head, but also agreed with a smile.

After the meal, everyone followed the wind and went to the guest room in the Siqin Pavilion and sat down.

Surrounded by sweet and fragrant spices, a screen painted with landscape patterns separates the middle, and you can faintly see the white-clothed and black-haired boy kneeling in it, with a piano case in front of him.

After a while, the sound of the harp sounded, echoing in all directions. Like the first birdsong in the empty valley, it seems to break through the first rays of morning light in the darkness, bringing infinite hope.

As the sound continued, it suddenly began to become low and slow. It seems that the flowing water has encountered obstacles, and it seems that someone has suddenly encountered a predicament, which also makes the listener feel blocked.

After this passage, there is a brisk tone, with a kind of understanding of seeing through the world, and a peace away from the hustle and bustle.

When the song is finished, the listeners have not yet recovered from the sound.

After a long time, I heard the sound of clapping.

Cangming lazily propped up the low few lying on his side, leaning on the curious face of Changsheng behind him. After applauding, I heard him say: "The name of Nanqin is indeed worthy of its name." It seems that this time, I have not waited in vain. ”

Behind the screen, the figure of Bai Narcissus did not shake, and a clear and indifferent voice followed: "It is also fortunate that I did not disappoint you." ”

Changsheng asked: "Listen to what the Lord of the Wind Mansion said, this song of Nanqin is a new work. I wonder if this piece has a name?"

"Name?" instead of looking down on the other party because of the immaturity of his voice, White Narcissus shook his head seriously and said, "It hasn't been named yet." ”

"Huh, is that so?" Changsheng was a little surprised.

Bai Narcissus said: "When I woke up from a big dream, I felt that I seemed to have forgotten something important. If you compose this song unintentionally, it might as well be named after no name. ”

He didn't know what he had forgotten, but Cangming and the others knew. It's just that at this time, no one will talk about it anymore.

I don't know what Feng Huiji said to White Narcissus, so that even if he forgets everything, he doesn't have any special emotions, but no one wants to know about these things carefully.

Bai Zhi unexpectedly said: "I heard that Nanqin Bai Shuixian loves the seven-stringed Yaoqin very much, I have one here, so I might as well give it to you today." All of them are gifts for listening to this song. ”

Before his words fell, a guqin had already appeared on Nanqin's side within the screen. Strangely, it has the shape of a piano, but it has no strings.

"This is ......," White Narcissus' eyes widened slightly, looking a little shocked. I was surprised to look at the stringless lyre.

Bai Zhi said: "The name of this piano is Zhu Yao, which is a stringless piano and a heartstring piano. With the heart as the string, what is played is the heart sound. ”

Zhu Yao was the second human of the demon clan in ancient times, and killed many of his fellow clans for the demon clan. At that time, he was hated by the world, and he hated to eat his flesh and blood, and devour his muscles and bones. Later, after the end of the battle, I learned that she was just an undercover agent in the demon clan, if she hadn't secretly deployed everything, and the final battle would have been temporarily reversed, I was afraid that the victory of the human race would not come so smoothly and so quickly.

In order to win the trust of the demon clan, Zhu Yao personally killed his blood relatives, and after the victory of the human race, he felt guilty about his family, felt guilty, and threw himself into the fire of Tonglin Nirvana, but he did not lose half a point with the blessing of the divine bird Phoenix. Since then, there has been no further news. Some people thought she was dead, and some people thought she had soared into an immortal.

In order to commemorate her, the qin master Xiang Nanzi named her last work Zhu Yao. But Zhu Yaoqin couldn't make any sound after it was made. Once thought to be a waste piano, after tossing and turning, suddenly one day was discovered, after removing the strings, people with a heart can be the heart for the strings, play the sound of the heartstrings.

It's just that there are very few people who can play the heartstrings. Later, after Zhu Yaoqin also lost her trace, it became a rumor that I didn't know whether it was true or not.

Bai Shuixian was not surprised by Bai Zhi's method of sending the qin, but felt that Zhu Yaoqin was an accident.

His hand rested on the surface of the instrument, hanging over it as if it had been hindered by something. Then I plucked it gently, and I heard the crisp sound of the piano in my ears.

Piano lovers can naturally hear the sound of the piano, and it is difficult for Bai Shuixian to stop for a while.

But the people outside could only feel that he was playing Zhu Yao's guqin in his arms, and he couldn't hear half of the sound.

When I left Linjiang Tower and returned to Cangming's small building, it was already approaching dusk.

Qiuluo went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, and Shen Yan went with him to help.

Changsheng had already fallen asleep on the way back because of his health. At this time, he was held by Bai Zhi and placed in the room.

Cangming sat by the window and re-cut Changsheng's pulse, withdrew his hand and said, "Xiao Changsheng's incomplete soul is not a good thing after all. Now that she is being nourished by the medicine, although there is nothing to do for the time being, her body has begun to become resistant to the medicine. In the long run, maybe the medicine won't work for her. ”

Bai Zhi stood on one side, and was silent for a long time after hearing this, before he said slowly: "The other half of her soul is sealed under the Bliss Wasteland, if you want to take it out, you must first remove the seal......

"If the seal is removed, the power of the demon god will inevitably be released. Brother Bai has the world in his heart, and he is unwilling to do this. Otherwise, why bother to seal it under the Bliss Wasteland in the first place?" Cangming still had a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes, but a cold chill.

Bai Zhi pursed his lips and did not speak.

After a long time, Cangming sneered, lowered his head slightly and said with emotion: "In addition, in the Tomb of the Goddess, it is said that there is a sacred object that can warm the soul. Recently, there seem to be rumors on the rivers and lakes that the key to opening the Shrine of the Goddess is in the Jiuyuan Shen family. The Tulip Knight issued a kill order against the Shen family, and the head of the Shen family, Shen Baichuan, and his wife had already died under the butcher's knife of the Tulip Knight. Only my daughter Shen Yan is left, and now she is the only living person in my place......"

When it comes to the tulip knight who everyone on the rivers and lakes has heard of and changed color, Cangming does not have any special emotions, but seems to be talking about the weather today. But it's not difficult to understand that when his strength reaches his level, he doesn't need to be afraid too much.

The reason for the sudden stop was only because of the sound of porcelain breaking outside.

"What Mr. said is true?" Shen Yan didn't care about the broken dishes, stepped into the door in despair, and looked at Cangming deadly. "Father, mother, and brother, they, are they really dead?"

"yes. All dead. Cangming turned his head sideways, and when he saw Shen Yan's demeanor, he didn't think about comforting him, but said very bluntly: "You will be sent out alone, originally Shen Baichuan was going to use you as bait to attract the attention of the Tulip Knight." However, you are lucky to have been saved by me. Now....... although the Tulip Knight has not yet come to the door, it is estimated that it will come in a few days. ”

Every time he said a word, Shen Yan felt like he had been hit hard, and his body, which was originally a little thin because of his injuries, couldn't help but tremble a little at this moment.

No wonder, her father would let her go alone.

No wonder, the seventh master will be dressed as his parents and brothers.

It turned out that this was the case.......

Shen Yan's eyes darkened, and a mouthful of blood arrows spurted out of his mouth, and then fell to the ground.

Cangming took a step forward and held her up, and touched her wrist. didn't see the slightest hurry, but stretched his brows a little and said: "I knew that this method could make her vomit out the blood that was stuck in her heart, so I would have said it earlier." ”

Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly, noncommittal.

Cangming wasn't ready to ask him to respond, so he waved his hand back and said, "I'll send her back to the room first, and we'll postpone the matter of Changsheng later." ”

Bai Zhi just hummed softly.
