Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Demon of the Heart

Guo Xiang turned his back to Xiao Yuesheng and stood there quietly with his head down, his slender and graceful body, like a delicate mimosa in the snowflakes fluttering in the sky, standing in the cold wind.

Xiao Yuesheng felt pity in his heart, stood up gently, stepped on the soft withered grass, slowly walked to her side, and said softly in a caring tone: "Xiang'er-?"

Guo Xiang was silent, just hanging her head and facing away from him, her long hair hanging down from her ears and spreading to her towering chest, covering her beautiful jade face.

It's just that Xiao Yuesheng is clear at this time, and he doesn't need to use his eyes, and the situation within a radius of several miles is presented in his mind, such as the wooden house in the distance, Zhang Qingyun and his group just approached the hut, and Dongfang Lei's two stunning maids were busy sweeping away the snowflakes on him.

And the Xiang'er beside him was hanging his face low, and the crystal tears, like pearls and jade strings, fell along his cheeks.

The sound of her tears dripping onto the grass in the snowstorm was clearly audible to his ears.

And her gritted jade teeth, and her sad and aggrieved appearance also appeared clearly in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a great pain in his heart and was deeply ashamed.

"Xiang'er,...... Is your brother-in-law really angry?" he said with deep self-reproach and apology in his tone, and walked to the opposite side of Guo Xiang.

Guo Xiang silently turned his delicate body away, ignored it, and gently wiped his eyes with his little hand, not wanting his brother-in-law to see his tearful appearance.

"Alas—" he sighed deeply, intending to distract her from arousing her curiosity, so that she could not be angry and sad, but he felt that Xiang'er had been angry in vain, and that she should no longer play tricks on her.

"Xiang'er, it's all brother-in-law,...... Don't cry, huh?" Xiao Yuesheng gently patted her weak shoulder.

Guo Xiang took two steps forward, so that his hand could not reach his fragrant shoulder.

Xiao Yuesheng smiled bitterly, her sister-in-law is different from ordinary people, but she inevitably has the temper of a little woman, it seems that she is really an unforgivable sin.

He wanted to step forward, take her into his arms, and ignore her struggles and writhing until she was quiet and the lump in her chest dissipated.

It's just that this method of dealing with one's own woman has a good effect, and it is a bit excessive to use it on one's sister-in-law, and when dealing with one's sister-in-law, you can only coax her patiently like a child, and compare her surname.

Xiao Yuesheng called Xiang'er a few more times, but Guo Xiang just hung his head, wept silently, and ignored him.

He was affected by the demons in his heart, and his surname was not as good as before, if he changed to before, he would definitely grind slowly, little by little, until she was angry.

I have done this to coax a little girl, Yang Ruonan is often provoked to cry by his godfather, and in the end she can always be coaxed into laughter, and the tears have not disappeared, so she giggles.

Xiao Yuesheng coaxed Guo Xiang for a while, feeling quite impatient, so he hugged her into his arms, regardless of her writhing and struggle, and sat in front of the piano case.

"Xiang'er, don't move!" he sat opposite Guo Xiang across the piano case, and when he saw that Guo Xiang was about to struggle to get up, he hurriedly pressed her fragrant shoulder.

Guo Xiang turned his head away and didn't let his brother-in-law see his face, after crying, he must be very ugly!

In fact, when she heard her brother-in-law calling and coaxing for so long, her anger had almost disappeared, but her daughter's family couldn't wipe her face, she felt that she had lost her temper so much, and she shed tears, and she really didn't have the face to see her brother-in-law.

How did I become so cautious, but my brother-in-law's tone was a little heavier, and he lost his temper, it really didn't look like himself!

Xiao Yuesheng gently wiped the tears from her cheeks with her big hand, and said with a smile: "The so-called pear blossom with rain is specially designed to describe what our Xiang'er said, if Xiang'er looks like this, let other young men see it, don't you fascinate them to the point that they can't distinguish things?"

"Brother-in-law!" Guo Xiang's beautiful cheeks were slightly flushed, and the reddish eyelids contrasted with the reddish eyelids, which were really delicate and beautiful in the ice, like a red snow lotus blooming in the ice and snow.

"Hehe, don't say it, don't say it,...... Xiang'er, how do I feel that the night sky is suddenly clear?" Xiao Yuesheng withdrew his big hand, the softness and tenderness between his fingers made him sway slightly, looked at Xiang'er's beautiful jade face, and said with a smile.

Guo Xiang looked up, the snowflakes in the sky rushed to her face, she hurriedly lowered her head, after crying, the slightly heated eyelids were just stained with a few snowflakes, which was cool and very comfortable.

"No wow,...... How can the sky be sunny?" Guo Xiang was slightly puzzled, how could it be sunny when such heavy snow kept falling.

When he saw his brother-in-law's gentle gaze with a slight smile, he suddenly realized, and couldn't help glaring at him shyly and lowered his head.

Xiao Yuesheng laughed indulgently twice, and his voice gradually lowered.

"Xiang'er, it's actually my brother-in-law who is running into a problem now. Xiao Yuesheng brushed away the thick layer of snow that fell on the piano case and said in a casual voice.

"What kind of problem, can I help you?" asked Guo Xiangrushui's eyes staring at his brother-in-law.

Xiao Yuesheng nodded, "I just want you to help me, alas...... It's a pity she's not by my side......" The faint sigh was inaudible, and a sad and beautiful jade face flashed in his mind.

If she is by her side, with her peerless piano skills, she will definitely be able to affect her state of mind and help her overcome her inner demons.

Xie Xiaolan, Xie Xiaolan, alas!

"Brother-in-law, ......?" Guo Xiang saw that his brother-in-law was suddenly in a daze, and called him softly with a little worry.

"Oh,...... It's okay!" Xiao Yuesheng suddenly woke up, saw her sister-in-law's concerned and worried eyes, and waved her hand.

"Xiang'er, do you know that when you practice martial arts to a certain extent, you are practicing your surname?" Xiao Yuesheng took other thoughts out of his mind, his fingers plucked the silver broken string, his eyes were fixed on it, and he asked Guo Xiang.

Guo Xiang frowned slightly, groaned, thought about it, and nodded, "I seem to have heard my grandfather say this, but I didn't understand it, so I didn't take it to heart, is that really the case?"

Xiao Yuesheng was not too surprised that Huang Yaoshi was able to comprehend this, and a master of their level should be able to vaguely feel this.

Xiao Yuesheng nodded, frowned, and wanted to find a simple way to explain it, but found that it was a futile move, and he could only understand it, not speak, and the language was really pale compared to the exquisite Dao.

"Taoists have a surname of life and shuangxiu, Xiang'er should have heard of it," Xiao Yuesheng gently plucked the strings, still trying to make it clear.

“...... The surname is the surname of the heart, and the life is the body, and most of us in the martial arts are dedicated to self-cultivation, blindly pursuing the enhancement of skills, and the skills are wonderful, and the cultivation of the surname of the heart is ignored,...... When you reach the very high level of self-cultivation, you will realize the importance of self-cultivation, and there are only a few people who have reached this realm,...... Alas, most people will never be able to comprehend it in their lifetime. ”

In the sound of the piano, Xiao Yuesheng's voice was ethereal, plain, and plain, as if it came from the sky, like a real illusion.

"The Quanzhen Sect is a rare surname and life double xiu heart method, but the combination of cultivating the heart and surname is much slower than the way to specialize in martial arts, if people can live to be a hundred years old, the top master in the martial arts, must be the master of the Quanzhen School, his martial arts began to enter the realm very slowly, but the more he came later, the faster it became, it's a pity that people's life span is too short, but they can't wait, it's a pity-!"

Xiao Yuesheng shook his head and sighed, these words were clearly audible, and Guo Xiang heard them in his ears, and remembered in his heart, no wonder his father kept saying that the internal strength of the Quanzhen School is the most authentic internal strength method, so it is.

"Brother-in-law, how do you want me to help you?!" Guo Xiang didn't understand these things, and was concerned about how to help his brother-in-law, so he was a little impatient.

Xiao Yuesheng paused, choked, and suddenly felt like playing the piano to a cow, but when she glanced at the beautiful Jiaoyan who was staring at her, she was a little ruthless.

"Ahem......" He coughed dryly twice, interrupting his reverie, he was more and more affected by the demons in his heart, and he began to be unable to suppress the cranky thoughts in his heart.

"Hmm,...... In the past few days, I have been feeling upset from time to time, and I gradually have a premonition that I can't control my real surname,...... The sound of Xiang'er's piano can calm my heart. Xiao Yuesheng looked directly at her sister-in-law's soft eyes through the snowflakes, and said quietly.

Guo Xiang moved his eyes slightly in a panic, not daring to look at his brother-in-law's deep and boundless pupils, for fear that he would fall into it, but deep in his heart, a little sweetness rose faintly, his own piano sound can make his brother-in-law quiet!

Xiao Yuesheng looked at her beautiful face slightly flushed, her expression seemed to be ashamed and happy, it was really delicate and moving, and suddenly she was slightly surprised, this expression was very similar to her sister! Could it be ......?

then laughed dumbly, and secretly scolded herself for being too good at being amorous, her sister-in-law is a person with a different heart from ordinary people, and she will not be as visionary as her eldest sister.

His brows furrowed slightly, and the feeling of irritability rose from the bottom of his heart, and began to impact his heart's protective power.

"Xiang'er,...... Play a song to my brother-in-law!" he smiled softly.

Guo Xiang hurriedly looked up, saw the unnatural smile on his brother-in-law's face, and knew that his brother-in-law needed to hear his piano, so he nodded hurriedly and reached out to brush the snow on the piano.

It's just that under the snow, the exposed Yaoqin, the string has been broken, she is helpless, she is anxious, and she doesn't know what to do.

Xiao Yuesheng met the anxious eyes of her sister-in-law, chuckled, and suddenly a yaoqin appeared out of thin air in her hand, the body was jet black, and the strings were also silver-white filaments.

Guo Xiang was a little dazed, but for some reason another piano appeared.

"Brother-in-law, is this ......?" she couldn't help but ask, looking at Yaoqin, which was almost identical to her hand.

Xiao Yuesheng smiled slightly, shook his head and did not answer, swapped the two pianos, and the broken string piano disappeared in his hand, "Xiang'er, let's start." ”

Guo Xiang saw him frowning slightly and smiling, he didn't care about asking any more, stretched out his fingers, flicked the yaoqin, and the sound of Cong Cong poured out, like a clear spring, blending into the heavy snow like goose feathers.

Xiao Yuesheng sighed slightly, feeling that the irritability this time was much more violent than last time, as if the angry waves were crashing on the shore, wave after wave.

The sound of Xiang'er Congcong's piano seems to have a clear and peaceful breath, which makes his heart inexplicably clear and round, and the irritability is a lot, in this breath, it becomes much more diluted, he seems to be able to see the deep spring in the mountains, flowing along the mountain stream, the quiet stones and green trees, cool and pleasant.

It is as if he has turned into a spring water, flowing quietly in the mountain stream, without thinking or thinking, and drifting with the current.

Gradually, his mind went blank, as if he had settled down.

Guo Xiang began to look at his brother-in-law's expression from time to time, and saw that he gradually loosened his frowning eyebrows, and his expression gradually became calmer, knowing that his piano sound was effective, so he plucked his fingers with confidence, and carefully thought about the beautiful scenery in his mind.

When Xiao Yuesheng was in a trance and went straight into the netherworld, Guo Xiang still didn't dare to stop, I don't know how long he played, his ten fingers seemed to be no longer his own, and he had no sense.

Seeing his brother-in-law's peaceful expression, Guo Xiang was happy in his heart, although his fingers were no longer perceptual, he didn't feel his pain at all, but felt that he could be like this for his brother-in-law, and his heart was full of joy.

Xiao Yuesheng slowly opened his eyes, his pupils became deeper and warmer, and Guo Xiang, who was staring at his brother-in-law, only felt a warm current soaking through his body, and his whole body was abnormal.

"It's okay, Xiang'er. A slow, quiet voice came out of his mouth, and a smile appeared on his face.

After a blank slate, he felt as if he had died once, and now he woke up, like a new life, and his original state of mind was suddenly renewed.

Guo Xiang, who was involuntarily staring at his brother-in-law's eyes, panicked, his ten fingers were messy, and the sound of the piano suddenly stopped abruptly.

Xiao Yuesheng frowned slightly, looked at Xiang'er's slender jade fingers trembling slightly, felt a slight pain in her heart, and said with a wry smile: "Silly girl, stop if you can't stand it, how can you be so reckless!"

"Brother-in-law, are you better?" Guo Xiang smiled shyly, and his brother-in-law grabbed his little hand and gently stroked it in his palm.

Xiao Yuesheng nodded, the vitality in her hand gradually infiltrated her little hand, recovering the already stiff joints and meridians, looking at her bent fingers that she couldn't straighten, she knew how much she suffered at that time.

Guo Xiang felt that the sweetness rising from the bottom of his heart seemed to overflow, and he gently stroked his hand, which was really the most wonderful thing in the world.

"Huh?" Xiao Yuesheng paused suddenly, his heart was alarmed, and his face suddenly became a little ugly.

"What's the matter, brother-in-law?" Guo Xiang hurriedly asked, she was extremely sensitive, and when she saw her brother-in-law's face, her heart sank slightly.

Xiao Yuesheng's eyes flashed with golden light, as bright as a golden sun, he didn't dare to look at Guo Xiang, he hurriedly took two breaths, hid the golden light, gritted his teeth, and a jade pendant suddenly appeared in his hand, which was stuffed into Guo Xiang's small hand that had recovered softness.

"Xiang'er, this is the jade talisman, the blood is enabled, you use it immediately!" Xiao Yuesheng said in a deep voice, his voice was hurried, and he didn't wait for Guo Xiang to answer, he immediately let go of her little hand, and with a light wave of her wide sleeves, more than a dozen dark green jade pendants flew out, quietly suspended in mid-air, and then there were more than a dozen Xuanxi dragon flags, scattered all over the place, inserted around him.

When he was done, he let out a long breath.

"Brother-in-law, what's wrong?" Guo Xiang's suspicious voice sounded timidly, and Xiao Yuesheng suddenly realized that Guo Xiang beside him had not left.

"Xiang'er, go quickly! Don't say more!" Xiao Yuesheng relapsed again, and said quite roughly, but Guo Xiang at this time didn't think it was wrong, just stared at him tightly, and insisted on knowing what was wrong.

Xiao Yuesheng was impatient, and didn't say much to her anymore, feeling that the protection of her heart was gradually loosening, and if she wanted to break the embankment, the gap was getting bigger and bigger.

He pointed his finger at the jade pendant in Guo Xiang's hand, and an extremely subtle golden light shot out from his fingertips, shooting towards the jade talisman, he wanted to activate the talisman and let Guo Xiang leave.

The green light on Guo Xiang's sideburns flashed, and the golden light suddenly turned invisible, and the falling snowflakes were also forced away from her delicate body, shattered, sprinkled, and fell on the grass snow.

"Zheng, Zheng Zheng-" Guo Xiang looked at his expression, and guessed that it was his brother-in-law's irritable mood, and he couldn't leave, so he hurriedly took the jade pendant into his arms, and pressed the yaoqin lightly with his fingers, plucking it slightly, making a clanging sound.

"Alas, it's useless...... , I'm afraid it's useless!" Xiao Yuechang sighed, seeing her stubborn delicate face, and smiled bitterly.

I really didn't expect that I was capsized in the gutter this time, and I was unconsciously deceived by the demon in my heart, and when I was relaxed, I entered in an instant and broke through a corner of my heart.

"Brother-in-law, how can you know it's useless if you haven't tried it,...... Concentrate and calm down, let's try our best!" Guo Xiangjiao spoke softly, her voice was calm and elegant, and the panicked color had disappeared.

She tried her best to soothe her look, forgetting everything, trying her best to describe the beautiful scenery of the deep mountains in her mind, her fingers gently twisting and caressing, and the sound of the clear spring flowing water flowed out quietly.

Xiao Yuesheng shook his head with a wry smile, and a Xuanwu jade bracelet suddenly appeared in his hand, picked up Guo Xiang's left hand, which was busy stroking the qin, and put the jade bracelet into it.

Then she pulled off the hosta on her sideburns, touched the jade bracelet lightly, and the golden light in her hand flashed, disappearing into the hosta and the jade bracelet, and then inserted the hosta back into her long black and shiny hair.

Guo Xiang let his brother-in-law move, and the other jade hand was still playing the piano, trying his best not to be disturbed by other things.

Xiao Yuesheng breathed a sigh of relief, this Xuanwu jade bracelet has extremely strong protective power, far beyond the Zhenshen hairpin on her head, and the two talismans work at the same time, it should be able to block a block, and there is time to use the escape talisman.

"Xiang'er, once I lose control, don't get close to me, immediately activate the escape charm to leave, and come back to see me after a while!" Xiao Yuesheng stared at Guo Xiang and ordered solemnly.

The snowflakes were fluttering, Guo Xiang smiled faintly, indescribably calm and elegant, she nodded lightly, her jade fingers did not stop, and the sound of the mountains and flowing water kept pouring out.

Xiao Yuesheng was completely relieved at this time, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the sky slightly, the heavy snow that was still in a hurry poured into his eyes, and he struck down sharply, usually looking fluttering, rather slow snowflakes looked at it from such an angle, but it was extremely fast, with the power of impact.

He opened his eyes wide, looked at the snowflakes that hit his eyes, and chuckled, and his heart was suddenly full of pride, if you want to come, let the storm come more violently!

Slowly close your eyes, and concentrate on the brightness in the depths of your mind, at this time, the fire of the original heart is the most refined and pure, and it is the source power to resist all abnormalities.

The irritability in the bottom of the heart finally came to the mountains, and the protection of the heart that was already half-broken was finally completely destroyed.

The illusion in my mind gradually appeared, and the past was presented in front of me one by one.

The ambitious self, at first hearing the bad news, was terminally ill, unbelieving, desperate, struggling, and finally had no choice but to cultivate the Tao in order to achieve peace of mind and liberation.

............

"Xiaosheng, I'm leaving,...... Take care!" the beautiful girlfriend said lightly, turning away from his sickbed.

............

"Why, why—what have I done to punish my son like this!" the father smashed everything in the house to pieces, and was old and haggard.

............

His cold body was slowly pushed into the incinerator, and his parents were numb and demented............

Guo Xiang's fingers flicked, trying to maintain a peaceful state of mind, but he unconsciously felt a bit of sadness and indignation, opened his eyes and looked, his brother-in-law closed his eyes, and a faint tear slowly flowed out from the corner of his eye, fell to the snow, and finally disappeared.

She hurriedly closed her eyes, otherwise she would not be able to help but stop the sound of the piano and reach out to wipe away his tears.

Xie Xiaolan looked at herself faintly, smiling slightly, full of sadness and determination............

Cheng Ying looked at herself and said lightly: "Brother Xiao, my cousin and I are leaving............!"

Cheng Ying's face suddenly overlapped with his original girlfriend, looked at him lightly, and turned to leave......

Xiao Yuesheng looked at Xie Cheng and the two of them drifting apart, and suddenly smiled, "Let's go, let's go!"

The snowflakes rolled and shattered, and the snowflakes that were close to him were all stirred into snow foam, and rose to the sky, surging above him, unable to fall, where he was, the snow did not fall, and under the reflection of the pearls around him, his face was desolate and lonely, and his clothes and hair were constantly fluttering gently, all undulating like waves.

Guo Xiang, who was concentrating on the qin, suddenly felt a strong surge around him, the hosta jade bracelet lit up slightly at the same time, and the vast clear stream came from the wrist above his head, and his heart was suddenly shocked, more clear and a little more peaceful, and the sound of the piano also rose sharply, but the tone became more and more peaceful and crisp, and the sound of ding dong was clearly audible.

It's just that she and Qin Case were pushed six feet away by Xiao Yuesheng's strength, leaving a deep wide ditch on the thick snow.

Xiao Yuesheng's expression was becoming more and more intense, but suddenly slowed down and slowly calmed down.

Guo Xiang found that after the clear stream on his head and wrist poured into his fingers, the sound of the piano suddenly became louder, and the sound became more and more elegant, and the influence on his brother-in-law was suddenly strong, and he was busy contemplating the clear stream in his body into his fingertips, turning it into Cong Cong Qingyin, pouring it into his brother-in-law's ears.

The whole body was protected by hosta jade bracelets, and the snowflakes could not reach their bodies, and they were bounced away at the first touch, forming a thick snow mound around her.

After a long time, Xiao Yuesheng slowly opened his eyes, and with a gentle smile, he quietly looked at Guo Xiang who was hanging his head and caressing the piano.

Guo Xiang condensed the flow of fingering, but also to maintain a peaceful state of mind, although the sound of the piano is elegant and peaceful, she has really done her best, her mind is back inside, there is no time to care about it, and she does not realize that her brother-in-law has opened his eyes.

"Xiang'er ......" Xiao Yuesheng saw that her face was becoming more and more pale, under the pearl light, it seemed to be almost transparent, and a dense layer of fine sweat on her forehead, she suddenly knew that her mental strength was too bad, and she hurriedly said hello.

Guo Xiang raised her head, her fingers did not stop, Cong Cong's voice was endless, she smiled delicately, "Brother-in-law......"

Xiao Yuesheng felt a pity in his heart, stretched out his left hand, and the void took Yaoqin into his hand, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and with a move of his right hand, Guo Xiang ** sat cross-legged, and his clothes slowly floated in front of him.

Guo Xiang was shocked, and he didn't know if his brother-in-law was out of control.

Xiao Yuesheng pressed her vest with her right hand, and a mellow internal force poured in like a flood, instantly surrounding her, like soaking in the hot water of a wooden barrel, her body that was overdrawn and gradually chilled immediately warmed up, and the mental exhaustion was swept away, and she was suddenly refreshed and relaxed.

"Brother-in-law, how are you?" Guo Xiang hurriedly turned around, his beautiful face full of surprise.

Xiao Yuesheng smiled and nodded, "I finally escaped!" But his face was relaxed, and there was no luck for the rest of his life.

Divided into two, heaven and earth are generated, all things are yin and yang, and the same is true of the heart, the so-called heart demon, that is, the dark side of the heart, the heart demon invades the body, but it is no obstacle to the surname, so he can laugh easily.

"Thank God—" Guo Xiang bowed to the sky, very sincere.

At this time, the protective body of the hosta jade bracelet was removed, but there were still no snowflakes on the body, and the heavy snow that was originally flying like fluttering has stopped.

The heavy snow presses the green pines, and under the surrounding glittering pearls, the jade trees are covered in silver makeup, and the world is plain white and clean.
