Chapter 12 Where the water dragon roars, the thunder runs and the ghost dances

Since that night's turmoil, Xingyan couldn't help but feel uneasy for a few days. It's just that, just like after the dispute on the flat ground by Poyang Lake last time, in the next few days, it seems to be calm again, and I don't see the girl who inexplicably got married, and then come to this Huayue Tower to mess with him.

Thinking about it, it must have been the overwhelming battle that night, which made this young girl embarrassed, and since then she has retreated.

It's just that although the girl doesn't come to Luo Soap again, the princesses of Huayuelou and the musicians in the music class often joke about that night's events with Xingyan, all of them say that he is young and usually honest, and no one can see that he has quietly caused a debt outside!

At this time, if it is the story of the building that comes to make fun of him, he will definitely twist and pretend to be angry:

Look at the beauty of our Huayue Building, why do you bother to go near and far......? Look at the slave family? hehehehe!"

After that, I always watched the lively sisters next to me, and watched this young man with red ears and red ears when he heard the words!

It's just that this fun has become a little boring after a lot of fun. For the parties, it seems a bit noisy. The awakening words that no one cared about were now rare to have a moment of silence in these days. However, jokes aside, those sisters who have seen Lingyi'er's peerless appearance, while teasing the boy, are also secretly surprised, I don't know how this young man in the suburbs, who has never been conspicuous, could provoke such an outstanding girl. Not to mention her appearance, just talking about the faint bearing of her gestures, at a glance, you can see that this girl who came to be obsessed with for some reason is not the child of an ordinary market.

It's just that if some curious people come to ask about it, they will always be distracted by the words of this slippery young man, and they always don't understand the point, which is really annoying. In fact, if you blame Xingyan Zhiwu for this, you will really wronged him. Because Xingyan himself has been inexplicable and ignorant of the girl's true origin and identity until now, how can he make others known if he is dizzy?

At the same time, it was inevitable that some good deeds would interrogate him by the way why he was so vigorous that night, and knock away the seemingly vicious and reckless man with one punch. For the awakening of this question, the answer is absurd, and it is impossible to say, so I have to answer it vaguely with "natural strength" and "angry attack".

Speaking of which, this woman is more curious than a man, and she is naturally sensitive to these short-term things. There are many women in this Huayue Building, and this time it is bitter to wake up, and they are sent to take turns to receive all kinds of consultations, which is quite dizzying. In any case, the roots of the ears have really not been quiet in the past few days. It is especially worth mentioning that among them, the little maid Ying'er is the most prominent, and the whole day is chasing Xingyan to ask this and that, and he is particularly interested in his relationship with the girl that night, and has made a lot of inquiries.

It is said that it is not easy to send away the little maid Ying'er, but there is nothing to be done, and he is worried about the shadow. As I sat down, I couldn't help but think back to that night. Thinking about it this time, Xingyan was moved in his heart:

"The repertoire ordered by the wild girl that night is quite standard, and it seems that this unruly girl is by no means an ordinary woman. If I hadn't spent a lot of time learning etiquette from Mr. Ji, I'm afraid I would have made a fool of myself on the spot that night. Although he could barely cope with it, he was still a little unable to cope with some difficult tunes that night. Looks like I'm going to have to find a way to practice...... Uh, yes!"

Xingyan suddenly seemed to remember something, and only felt that his eyes lit up:

"After the last time I finished the Zhu Mansion Stool Demon with the old Dao of Qinghe, didn't I wonder if I could use the 'Taihua Dao Power' that I had cultivated to help play the difficult score 'Water Dragon Yin' given by Yun Zhongjun? ”

The current young man is used to saying that he is already ashamed to think that he is already cultivating the "Taihua Dao Power" mentioned in "Refining the Gods and Transforming the Void" - although he has not yet found the exact method of the so-called "cultivation", but anyway, he is talking to himself, as long as he doesn't say it, he is not afraid of others laughing at him.

Thinking of this, he immediately thought of a wonderful way to get rid of the boundless noise of the past few days:

"Why don't I take this opportunity to ask Aunt Xia for a day or two off and go back to Horseshoe Mountain to visit my father and mother at home? It's the best of both worlds, wonderful!"

With this thought, the more the young man thought about it, the better it became, and he didn't want to stop for a moment, so he quickly got up and went to say goodbye to Aunt Xia, saying that he missed his parents and wanted to go home to visit and visit, and by the way, he also practiced flute in the mountains and wilderness next to his home.

Aunt Xia, the old bustard of Huayue Building, has been secretly surprised and impressed by this young man in the market who originally thought of her since that night. Now that this little brother has asked for leave, Aunt Xia will not be disappointed, and she will happily grant him two days off at the moment.

Hearing Aunt Xia's answer, she said that she was like a bird out of the cage, carrying the music score and the jade flute, and went to Horseshoe Mountain with a smoke!

When I got home, I took a break and helped my mother with some housework. Unconsciously, the night has quietly descended on the horseshoe mountain on the outskirts of Raozhou.

After dinner, Xingyan said hello to his parents, and then pinned his beloved jade flute "Shenxue", carried the music score "Water Dragon Yin", and set off to practice the flute on the horseshoe mountain.

The horseshoe mountain in the autumn night has withered the green costumes in the summer, and under the shroud of this blurry moonlight, it looks particularly lonely and desolate. In the grass near the mountain road, the autumn insects that have not yet known that the cold winter is approaching are still chirping tirelessly. Looking into the distance, the continuous mountains connected to the Horseshoe Mountain gradually undulated and stretched into the distance with the curve of the hills, and the white moonlight that shrouded the mountains was gradually receding. In the mountains and shrubs shrouded in dark night, all kinds of dangers and mysteries between heaven and earth are hidden silently.

Still leaning on the smooth and smooth white stone on the top of Horseshoe Mountain, the young man Xingyan spread out the music score "Water Dragon Yin", which had been read countless times, and skimmed through it by the moonlight, then put it aside, picked up the beloved jade flute "Shenxue", and was ready to try his best to see if he could use the flowing water in his body "Taihua Dao Power" to play this many different tunes that have exceeded the normal range of human hearing.

At this time, it was the four fields that were silent, but they heard the insects groaning......

Speaking of which, in order to be able to play the music score "Water Dragon Yin" given by Yun Zhongjun, this awakening said that he hit the idea on the "Taihua Dao Force" that he couldn't control, although he seemed to be a little sick and rushed to the doctor, but it was really out of helplessness. Because according to the ordinary method, this "water dragon chant" is really impossible to play, and there are many notations in the book, which are beyond the reach of the human ear.

In order to understand this, it is necessary to give a general introduction to the music theory of the time. At that time, the rhythm consisted of a total of 12 rhythms, and the scale was divided into five notes and two variations. The 12 rhythms include Huang Zhong, Da Lu, Tai Tuan, Jia Zhong, Gu Xi, Zhong Lu, Ruibin, Lin Zhong, Yi Ze, Nan Lu, Wu She, and Ying Zhong; They are all gradually elevated. If one of the 12 rhythms is used as the gong note in the scale, and so on, a total of eighty-four tunes can be derived. However, most of these 84 tones are beyond the scope of human ears, so these tones have no practical meaning. What's worse is that in the score given to Xingyan by the old man in the clouds, this kind of tone is mostly used. If this were to be replaced by a pedant who has been immersed in music theory for many years, he would definitely be dismissed as ridiculous when he saw such a score!

But somehow, although he knew that the score was ridiculous, the young man was convinced by the old man who gave away the book, and he always felt that the book gift did not seem to be teasing him. So, tonight, he was going to try the Taihua Dao power he had cultivated on the Horseshoe Mountain in this month, and whether he could help himself.

It's just that there doesn't seem to be good luck this time, and Xingyan still encountered the expected problem:

That flowing water-like power that is both familiar and unfamiliar, Ren Xingyan has been calling for thousands of times, but it is always difficult to find!

Seeing this, Xingyan thought about it for a while, but he still couldn't get the point.

After tossing and turning for a while, the smart young man stopped all useless summons and began to calm down and think back to the scene of how many times he appeared in this Taihua Dao power. The first time, the summer night was boring, looking at the pure starry sky over the mountains, the second time, the blue sky and the smoke and water, obsessively looking at the fairy and jade appearance of Juying's fairy seedlings, and the third time, in the Zhujia Flower Hall, waiting for the lightning strike of the elm stool demon like thunder to his own lightning......

Thinking about it, and thinking about it, I thought of the title of "Taihua Dao Power", so the fragments of the broken chapter in the "Refining Gods and Turning Void" chapter flashed in the young man's mind like a marquee:

"Refining the gods, only doing nothing. ”

"Those who have no intention and do nothing are stupid, those who have no intention of doing things are natural, and those who have intentions and actions are also vulgar;"

"Those who have the intention to do nothing, heaven and man are also"

"Refining gods without doing anything, the way of heaven and man is also ......"

"Maybe, I get it. ”

There seemed to be a flash of spiritual light, and the confused young man suddenly smiled faintly, and his heart seemed to move. At this time, his expression suddenly relaxed, and his hands and feet stretched at will, and after a while, this man, with this mountain, this water, this grass, this tree, this cloud, this moon, and everything in the world, from a strange moment, seemed to merge into one:

Don't ask where this man came from, don't ask where he is going, in this vast heaven and earth, in this vast and vast universe, he should have been like this, and so he did. And if you ask this man, why should this be with this mountain, this water, this grass, this wood, this cloud, this moon, and all these things?

Answer: Heaven is constant. I naturally.

So, between the questions and answers that seemed to exist in the dark, the mysterious flowing water Taihua naturally appeared in the body of the young man Zhang Xingyan, as if it had always been there.

Without any special awareness, Xingyan raised the jade flute to his lips and played it. From this moment on, this music, which may only be heard by the sky and the earth, the clouds and the moon, the water and the wind, the grass and the wood, and the music that the boy could hear, spread in all directions with the boy as the center, quietly and rushing in the night sky where the moon is like water, in such a contradictory and harmonious way:

...... In the dark and deep jungle, a hunter who had come out at night to lay a trap was looking in horror at the tiger in front of him. Just when he was despairing, he suddenly noticed that the fierce tiger in front of him, who was concentrating on predation, seemed to hear something in this mountain forest with only forest leaves, turned its mighty giant head in another direction, stared intently, and then dropped the food in his mouth and walked quietly in that direction. Seeing the tiger's sturdy body parting from the trees and disappearing into the night, the hunter, who had escaped death, sat there, unable to believe his eyes.

...... In the lonely city of Raozhou, a dilapidated man with little money is sneaking into a house at the moment by night. Just as he climbed over the fence and quietly landed to the ground secretly proud, he was suddenly horrified to find that in the moon shadow in the corner of the wall that was close at hand, a huge wolf dog was squatting. Just when the frightened skin was so frightened that his legs were weak and he wanted to flee into the wilderness, he was surprised to find that the dog did not come forward and bark and bite, but turned the dog's head towards the east of the city in a daze, motionless.

"I'm ashamed! ”

This dilapidated household pressed his hand on the dog's head - in an instant, there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping and farts and urine in this silent courtyard!

"It turned out to be a real dog!"

This terrible scream echoed in the sky above Raozhou City for a long time......

Besides, the young man who played the jade flute "Shenxue" has been completely immersed in this indescribable and unexplained wonderful realm, and he has no idea what is happening outside his body. He didn't know that in the night sky, which was originally only a little cloudy, more and more dark clouds were gathering, faintly rolling with the sound of wind and thunder, and from time to time there were electric lights sweeping through with teeth and claws, like dragons and snakes.

In the distant mountains, there was a strange sound of wind, and it sounded like a ghost crying.

At this time, the jade flute "Shenxue" in Xingyan's hand, the snow-colored lines in the jasper tube, also seemed to come alive at this time, and in the jade tube, with the rhythm of the "water dragon chanting", it gathered and dispersed, and the time and time were together, and it kept wandering and spinning, just like a swimming dragon rushing at the bottom of the sea.

Just around the boy's body, a few steps away from the center of the white stone, more and more beasts are gathering, or crouching, or crouching, or standing, or prostrate, tigers, leopards, bears, wolves, apes, raccoons, rabbits, tigers next to rabbits, apes next to the skews, low eyebrows and ears, just stay there quietly, staring at the young man who is playing intoxicated, ignoring the lightning and thunder in the sky......

This night, with the power of flowing water, Xingyan finally blew out this difficult song of "Water Dragon Yin"!

It's just that, as the notes flowed out, the young man faintly felt in his ignorance that the "flowing water" in his body that supported the Shenxue Jade Flute was getting weaker and weaker, and the flow was getting thinner and thinner;

For a moment, Xingyan only felt that there were thousands of stitches and blades all over his body, only scraping and stabbing in the bone marrow, and the pain was endless. What's even more terrifying is that he feels as if the flesh and blood of his whole body are going to flow towards the flute with the last trace of the flowing water, no matter how hard he tries, he can't stop......

At this critical moment, it was this strange white stone on Horseshoe Mountain that rescued Xingyan.

Just as Xingyan was consciously about to destroy the people and gods, the stubborn stone he was leaning on behind him, like last time, suddenly came with a vigorous force, and it stretched endlessly. This power is now very familiar, it is the life-saving "Taihua Dao Force"!

So this ancient and unparalleled "Water Dragon Song" ended so strangely and successfully!

When the last note dissipated in the night sky, the thunder and lightning that had been brewing overhead for a long time suddenly rushed towards the young man, and in just an instant, all the electric light passed through the top of the young man's head and disappeared without a trace.

At that moment, the originally noisy world fell silent again...... Until, until the white stone behind the young man suddenly turned into powder in the sky, and it was sprinkled between the sky and the earth, like the wind dancing on the snow, and like the flower floating like snow. And where the "snowflakes" flew, there was a slender ancient sword, which was exuding a faint light......

Precisely:

Thousands of years have passed,

A sword has been sharpened for ten years.

Concentrate on refining the sky,

It's better to sit idly at the head of the ridge.

The second volume of "Smoke and Dust on the Fairy Road" ends.
