Chapter 44: The sound of the piano is drunk
In the courtyard of the Quetai Senge under the dim night, strings of red palace lamps hang on the railings of the corridor on three sides, and the light smoke curtain is covered with lights. A group of splendid prosperity shrouded, set off the eaves of the Bird Tai Immortal Pavilion, the atmosphere in the pavilion is warm, and sometimes there are bursts of noise.
A hint of piano sound is faintly mixed in, and it is boundless.
"Everyone, be quiet, the next auction treasure is the thousand-year-old snow lingzhi, with a reserve price of 700,000 spirit stones-" The auction outside the main hall lasted all day, and the low-level cave disciples bought the spirit herb pills for cultivation and hurriedly walked away. Although the highlight of the auction is at the back, it is often sky-high, and it is not something that ordinary cultivators can touch.
As the night fell, the auction moved from outside the hall to the courtyard of the Quetai Senkaku, which was the place of feasting in the Xiqi Imperial Palace, which could accommodate hundreds of people.
At this moment, most of the people in the auction hall are immortals, and the Kunlun Emperor and the Prince of Tanglin have already arrived. This year's Immortal Dao Realm Spirit Treasure Auction was extraordinary, and Emperor Xiqi was quite proud, and in addition to being excited, he was willing to preside over it in person.
In front of the courtyard was a raised platform, covered with a thick blanket of brocade, and four high rosewood chairs were arranged in a row, and four prison officials were seated.
The Quetai Immortal Pavilion on both sides is a compartment with portholes, the upper and lower two layers of attics, connected with a row of vermilion lacquer columns, a string of big red palace lamps are hung in front of each window, reflecting the carved railings and paintings, the fairy spirit is overflowing, and it is beautiful.
The disciples of the Immortal National Dao Mansion downstairs were crowded, sitting on the three floors inside and outside, and there were more than two hundred people, crowding the open space inside and outside the attic.
Upstairs set up a banquet for the guests of the immortal clan, in the fence of the westernmost corridor, Yun Zu crossed his legs, one foot raised and half wearing straw sandals, drinking the fairy grass tea in the cup, nodding in praise again and again, very satisfied.
Mo Yikui stood behind him, his eyes were full of heroism, his hands were tied into his sleeves, and he said very respectfully: "Grandpa, after Xuanyuan Tai is sealed, Mo Yi will accompany you back to Shushan." ”
Yun Zu smiled and said: "My old man is used to wandering all over the world, so it doesn't matter if Shu Mountain doesn't go back." ”
The corners of Mo Yikui's mouth tightened, and she whispered to herself: "If the old grandfather doesn't return to Shushan, how can Zi Ning take over as the head of the sect?"
Yun Zu shook his head and said: "Fei Ye, Fei Ye, what kind of Lao Shizi is in charge, Hua Yao gave up and didn't do it back then, Xiao Zining didn't have to do it, and it was a blessing to be free and easy in my life." Mo Yikui's face darkened, if Zi Ning didn't become the head of the sect, there would be no revival of the four major clans in Shushan.
Empress Hua Yao sat next to Yun Zu, her eyes flashing with a hint of relief. Zi Ning has lived a happy life, what regrets does she have if she is not in charge of Shu Mountain? She glanced slightly at the Emperor of the Hair Dove on the throne in front of the stage, and suddenly an inexplicable shock surged into her heart.
Since Jun En is not here, there is no need to be sad in vain!
Emperor, there should also be a conclusion between you and me.
The disciple on the other side of Yun Zu saw that his body in red was slightly stiff, and his eyes stared directly at the carved railing porthole on the opposite side. muttered to herself: "She will definitely come back to me, Yue Hengtang, you wait and see." ”
Directly opposite, the porthole of a compartment was closed, and in the corridor surrounded by the railing, stood a young scholar, with a handsome face, eyes like the moon, dressed in an emerald coat and hat. The fence is extraordinarily wide and sparse, and two strings of golden palace lamps are hung in front of the eaves, which are particularly dazzling under the contrast of many big red palace lights.
Qi let go of his hands behind his back, stood with his head held high, and looked at the cultivators in the attic on three sides, his eyes moved slightly, and he looked neither humble nor arrogant. In the porthole room behind him, a soft piano sound faintly floated, lingering with a thin layer of white fairy mist, enveloping the fence like a fairyland.
In the porthole room, red lanterns and candles stand on all sides, sandalwood is swirling, and wisps of white mist are rising.
In front of the window, a rosewood long couch table is placed on the mat, Zi Ning and Huan Ling sit on one side, Yue Hengtang crosses his knees facing the porthole, finely tunes the strings of a guqin, his eyes are concentrated, and his breath is calm.
Xianle fluttered softly, the wings of the little Pixiu white ball fanned twice, and fell lightly on Zining's shoulder, the little paws hugged a small round bronze mirror, and cooed: "Xi'er, Xi'er, look at me quickly, is it white?"
After it was wounded, the blood stained the fluff red, and although the injury gradually healed, the white ball still worried that it was not white.
If the fluff is not white, is it still a white ball?
Its round little belly writhed, stared at a pair of small black eyes, looked back and forth in front of the mirror, and muttered: "I am whiter than Xi'er, I am whiter than Huanling, I am whiter than my brother......" The belly was wrapped with a thick white cloth bandage, which made it very dissatisfied, stretched out its little paws to scratch, squeezed its eyes in the mirror, giggled and laughed, very narcissistic.
Looking at the little Pixiu like a snowball of white velvet, Zi Ning narrowed her eyes, her heart was about to melt, she turned her head and smiled: "Seeing you covered in blood that day, it really scared me, what if there is a psychological shadow in the future and I have depression?"
At this moment, I saw the white ball writhing in front of the mirror, shaking his head and enjoying himself, so I was relieved.
"What is depression?" Bai Qiu glared at a pair of small black eyes, his bones twitched, and chirped, "Is it delicious?" The two small sharp ears stood up, full of curiosity.
Zi Ning grinned and said, "I left a good thing for you, it's better than depression." Turning his head slightly, his eyes drifted to Yuehengtang, and there was a tenderness in his eyes. He focused on stroking the qin with both hands, his white clothes were elegant, his black hair hung down on his shoulders, and there was a bead on the purple gold crown on his head, which trembled slightly with the sound of the piano.
"Brother Tang-" Zi Ningjiao screamed, Yue Hengtang twisted his fingers and pressed his fingers on the strings, closed the piano sound, and turned his head to look at the white ball. Then he lifted his sleeve and flicked his hand to his side, and a fresh yellow sunflower was thrown out of his sleeve.
Bai Qiu widened his eyes, cooed, threw the bronze mirror into Zi Ning's arms, jumped up jubilantly, and hugged the sunflower with his little paws.
The little eyes narrowed into a line, twisted and shook the sunflowers, and leaned forward and closed in pleasure. Then he spread a pair of fluffy wings and flew around the room. Soon dragged the sunflower to the roof beam, and the little head plunged into it with a "poof", and ate it violently.
Sunflower seed skins splashed around, and Zi Ning and Huan Ling lay their arms on the table, turning their heads and looking at it with a smile.
The incense burner of several cases has long been extinguished, and there is a light sandalwood fragrance in the room. Zi Ning raised her hand to open the porthole halfway, only to see a red light at the railing outside, and there were bursts of enthusiastic sighs and shouts.
Holding a cup of tea, looking at the window, playing with a bunch of fallen flowers on the window lattice, and said thoughtfully: "You withdraw from Fang Luoxi's marriage, and those elders will choose a family affair for you, right?"
Kunlun Absolute Emperor, how can there be no fairy queen.
"Ning'er, aren't you going to Kunlun?" Huan Ling was wearing a cloak of green brocade and thin silk, raised his hand to brush the broken hair on his sideburns, and tilted his head to stare at Zi Ning, "Kunlun's Jiulu Yunche is here, only you can be the fairy queen." ”
Zi Ning pursed her lips and smiled, her cheeks slightly red, and she was silent.
Whether to be a Kunlun Immortal or not, she didn't think about this, as long as she stayed with him forever, she was already satisfied. But the elders of the immortal clan were unwilling to fulfill them.
Huan Ling asked faintly: "If Miss Fang Luoxi knew that you were going to Kunlun, would she hate you?" Although it was not because of Zi Ning, this account must be counted on her.
Zi Ning nodded, sighed leisurely and said, "She has long hated me, if she hadn't given the deed of sale to Yuzun, how could she have caused so much trouble." There was a heavy uneasiness in my heart, the heartache that was disturbed by the ambiguous joy of this night, and a kind of pathetic sadness was suppressed.
It was also because of Fang Luoxi that she saw Liang Ziye, who was already unrecognizable Liang Ziye.
Calmed down slightly, lowered his head and flattened his mouth, and muttered: "Brother Tang, I smashed the back garden of the Yuzun Mansion with a fireball, and he said that if I don't compensate, he won't let me leave Xiqi Country, and he won't give me a deed of sale...... "She was penniless, and she couldn't even afford to pay for a rockery in the Yuzun Mansion.
Yue Hengtang smiled, plucked the strings in his hand, and asked, "What else did you destroy him?"
Zi Ning scratched her head, and said thoughtfully: "I burned up a piece of roses, and there was a blind black pig in the backyard, and I accidentally killed ......" The corners of her mouth pursed, like a child who did something wrong, her head was lowered to her chest, "The sky is too dark, I didn't see a black pig there." ”
Yue Hengtang's eyes were gentle, with a deep smile, and he played the strings in his hand, and said peacefully: "It's not your fault, it's because Su Lian has affected the blind black pig." ”
Zi Ning was slightly stunned, picked up a cup of tea cup in his hand, pondered for a moment, frowned and asked: "Should I give it a song "Injury Story", thanks to a blind black pig, the fireball in his hand did not fall on people." It's got a fireball for the sake of it, and we're going to have to accept it?"
Yue Hengtang stared at the strings, and said seriously: "It's okay, I ordered everyone in the immortal realm to ban eating black pork for a month, so as to mourn for Brother Pig's righteousness." After speaking, the corners of his mouth curled, and he smiled brightly.
Suddenly, the strings moved, and the clear sound played, like a pearl and jade falling on the plate.
After a long while, a long string note ended, and Yue Hengtang's slender fingers lightly pressed a string pillar, and said quietly: "Zi Ning, don't be afraid, I'm by your side." ”
Zi Ning was silent for a moment, tilted her head to look at him, and said half-jokingly: "If Su robs me as a wife, will you compete with him?"
Yue Hengtang only looked at the strings, stared at it, his eyes were hazy like sandalwood smoke rising from the sky, and replied lightly: "I won't compete with him, I will fight with him." ”
There was a hint of a smile in his eyes, and he raised his hand to pluck the strings lightly, "Everyone in the immortal realm knows that if you want to live in peace, don't mess with the emperor!
Zi Ning's eyes immediately lit up, and she clapped her hands jubilantly and smiled: "I'm not easy to mess with, if he dares to rob me, I'll hit him with a fireball." ”
The white ball finished gnawing on the sunflower, flew to the window with a "whoosh", hugged a red candle with two little paws, jumped on Zi Ning's shoulder, and tweeted: "If he dares to come and rob me, I will hit him with a fireball!"
The little eyeballs turned and blew out the candle with a "whew".
Huan Ling was amused by it and giggled, reached out to snatch the candle, and said with a smile: "You have to be careful of the white ball, play with this candle all day long, and if you accidentally turn into a fireball." ”
There was another burst of laughter. The corners of Zining's mouth tightened slightly, and she sighed softly: "I must find the inheritance of the Xuannu to do it...... Without inheritance, she is just an ordinary immortal mortal, and she is not worthy of the Kunlun Peerless Emperor at all.
If you are less than 100 years old in your life, how can you stay with him for a long time and stay with him until the world is desolate.
The faint noise in the night wind flickered far and near, and the people downstairs were scrambling for an auction treasure, and the cries were one after another. Yue Hengtang's dark eyes revealed a resolute smile, "Whether you can find the inheritance or not, I will accompany you." ”
Zi Ning nodded slowly, with a hint of coldness in his expression, and said: "I know, I'm just afraid that Emperor Fa Gu is going to break the cauldron and sink the boat, Fang Luoxi must want to enter Kunlun." ”
The father and daughter colluded with the Heavenly Demon faction, and it was very important to infiltrate the Kunlun Sect.
Yue Hengtang's eyebrows were raised smartly, his eyes glanced at her, and he said with a smile: "They may regard the Kunlun Absolute Emperor as a fool." Those things that are secretly planned, how can I Kunlun not know. ”
His eyes lit up, and he shot out two rays of light, and said slowly: "If she enters Kunlun, I will have a bowl of broken soup waiting for her! ”
Break away from the soup, forget the past, and return to emptiness.
"Zheng!" The strings in his hand were gently plucked, and a long crisp sound was released, and the rising sandalwood mist was shattered by the sound of the piano.
The corners of his mouth pursed a faint smile, and he said leisurely: "Without my permission, the immortal goddess will not be able to enter Kunlun's door." What about the origin of the immortal clan, even if it is Penglai and Shushan Sect, Kunlun may not be able to see it!"
It doesn't matter what identity is, I just want you. 100,000 years and waiting for this life, I would rather you be a mortal little chef.
The sound of the piano is long, like crying, and there seems to be a sense of nostalgia. Zi Ning twisted her neck to look at him, her eyes gradually overflowed with warmth, she raised her hand to brush the hair on her forehead, and her cheeks showed a shy flush.
I know your intentions, and even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers, I will always listen to your piano sound.
Yue Hengtang didn't know what she was thinking, she only raised her eyes and smiled faintly, with a hint of relief in her eyes, "Zining Bingxue is smart, you can understand this piano sound as soon as you hear it." ”
Zi Ningdeng's heart was like honey, and he pursed his lips and smiled, "The sound of the piano is a thing of the most affectionate and sexual, and women live with love for a lifetime, born for love, and suffer for love, so they naturally understand the sound of the piano better than men." ”
"Suffering for love?" Yue Hengtang's star-clear eyes smiled, "Why is this?"
Zi Ning's gaze drifted to the strings pressed in his hand, and asked in a coquettish voice, "Brother Tang likes this piano, is this piano a perfect match for this string?"
Yue Hengtang bowed slightly, "I traveled all over the wilderness to find this pair of 10,000-year-old broken line piano, the clear strings are made of ice silk, the timbre is clear and graceful, and the night is colorful and shining, which is my heart's favorite." After speaking, he looked at Zi Ning with casual eyes, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and a hint of expectation in his eyes.
She is like colorful and shiny ice silk, and he is like a broken piano. The love of the heart, looking for the great wilderness, matching each other and complementing each other.
Zi Ning looked at his eyes, his face was faintly red, his eyes looked at the ice silk strings, and he said: "Ice silk is very low, and it is not worthy of the satin red sandalwood broken pattern piano, since Brother Tang can't put it down, take care of it." ”
His eyes turned, and he said with a smile: "Silk ice strings, shining like pearls, have natural quality, and can never be replaced by horsehair and oxtail." It can be made into strings, and can be woven and tailored, and the day is bright and translucent, and the night is colorful. In my opinion, it is the perfect match with this black old satin rosewood. ”
Yue Hengtang shut up and didn't make a sound, it was dark, old and heavy, is this talking about me?
Zi Ning smiled and raised his eyes to look at Yue Hengtang, "Brother Tang, don't you think that this satin red sandalwood qin is really a little dark and old?"
Yue Hengtang's eyes sank, his face was slightly red, and he said for a while: "Because the satin red sandalwood is difficult to find in the world, and it is a 10,000-year-old broken line piano, there is only one pair in the immortal realm, if it is not dark and old, how can it show its peerless demeanor?"
After pausing for a moment, he deliberately glanced at her, and said implicitly: "Ice silk can also match ordinary basswood qin, but it can't make such a clear sound, so it is best to match the red sandalwood qin." ”
The Xuannu is the ice silk, the absolute emperor is the red sandalwood, and as for the basswood qin, it is Xiqi Yuzun.
Zi Ningdeng's face turned red, pursed her red and gorgeous lips, and she was unwilling to show weakness, "If one day you encounter a rare spider silk string, and it is matched with your crisp and solid satin red sandalwood, will these ice silks be discarded and used?"
The spider silk strings are incomparably precious, and they are a perfect match with satin rosewood.
Yue Hengtang's eyes softened, and he only smiled silently.
To him, Zi Ning is like a priceless treasure, glowing with colorful light, but he can't take it all in his eyes. It's not good to be close, it's frustrated to be far away, and the more you look at it, the more you have an incomprehensible cleverness that can't be touched.
Now that there is ice silk, why do you need spider silk strings?
There was a sudden joy in his heart, and he said with a smile: "Zhu Xiantong Zi is in harmony, only seeking the encounter of a soulmate." Zining is a bosom friend, today I will be a prodigal son of the fairy clan, and run hand in hand with you at night, how?" As soon as the words fell, he stroked the piano with both hands, and suddenly a song "Immortal Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" played, and the chorus rose in a curling voice, happy and festive, and the long sound was deafening.
Zi Ning bit her lip, and immediately blushed, the prodigal son of the fairy clan ran hand in hand, this was obviously teasing her!
Listening to the fairy music in my ears for a while, the sound is crisp and pleasant, like a series of pearls and jade beating strings. Yue Hengtang smiled comfortably and looked at her with a comfortable face.
Her cheeks were red with shame, and she quickly covered her ears, and she blushed and shouted, "Don't play again, Yue Hengtang, stop quickly-" The hem of the skirt moved forward, and she swooped down, stretching out her sleeve to hold down the shiny strings.
"Zheng!"
She looked up in a panic, and saw Yue Hengtang's face in front of her, with clear eyebrows, flawless white jade, a slight snort, red lips and white teeth, clear eyes and a light smile, staring at her intently.
The breaths of the two of them mingled together, and there was a sweet and greasy smell.
With the "buzzing" sound in her head, Zi Ning only felt a sudden pause in her throat, and her heart jumped wildly. It seems that at this moment, the clouds and the moon are condensed, the flying flowers are slow, and the fragrance is curling, and the sea is dry and rotten in an instant, and the vicissitudes of the sea are rotten.
There are only three words left in my heart, Brother Tang-
The piano is also redundant, and the feelings are also worried. What runs hand in hand at night, what bosom friend is hard to meet, she doesn't want to think about it anymore. Although the world is big, there is only room for two people.
This heart can be strong, not like gold and jade, but better than gold and jade;
The affection is lingering, and you are also drunk and drunk!
Huan Ling frowned on the side, and muttered in his mouth: "I don't understand what you say about the piano and strings, I don't know if you talk about the piano or the ......" stared at the two of them, and they were confused, and their hands were pinched together in their sleeves, and they just felt that it was boring.

Zining: You, you have a little bit of ** male potential-
