Chapter Forty-Eight
"Anyone?!"
Li Mucheng subconsciously took a step back, although the sound of the piano was long and moving, it gave him a creepy feeling.
He had always believed that he had discovered it, and that the entrance to the cave was so secret that only he knew about it. When he was leaving today, the sudden sound of the piano made his spine drop to freezing temperature in an instant.
He broke through the retreat of more than a month and has been in retreat here. And today there are people here! This has to make him afraid. If the person who played the piano during his retreat had the slightest murderous intent, I am afraid that he would have been a dead man by now.
However, at this moment, Yinyue on the side suddenly asked, "Big brother, what is so exaggerated?"
"Didn't you hear?" Li Mucheng was a little incredulous, "Someone played the piano just now, didn't you hear the sound of the piano?"
"What kind of piano?" Yinyue had an exaggerated expression, and his eyes widened: "The wolf master's ears are not deaf, if someone plays the piano, the wolf master will not be able to hear it?" Don't scare yourself here, maybe it's your hallucination, before the catastrophe comes, because of the heaviness in my heart, there will always be some auditory hallucinations...... Well, I've only heard about it too. ”
Li Mucheng: "......"
He pricked up his ears and listened carefully, the sound of the piano was still there, and now he was sure that it was definitely not his auditory hallucination.
"You go first, I'll stay here for a while. ”
"Are you alright?" asked Yinyue with a surprised expression. After a long time, Li Mucheng didn't answer his words, so he had to give up and persuade him: "Then I'll leave first, I'll go to Bishui Mansion to see if there is any news from the Fengyun Palace." Don't stress too much, isn't it just the Forty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation? According to your strength, the Tribulation is not just like playing?"
"I see. ”
Li Mucheng waved his hand and motioned for Yinyue to hurry up. Seeing this, Yinyue shook her head and walked out of this alternative underwater world.
In my ears, the ethereal sound of the piano still echoes in my ears. Although Li Mucheng didn't know why Yinyue couldn't hear the sound of the piano, he was sure that the sound of the piano was not his auditory hallucination. In this underwater world, I am afraid that there are still people he doesn't know.
Pushing aside the layers of dense green bamboo, Li Mucheng walked step by step along the place where the sound of the piano came from. Gradually, he discovered that this underwater world was not what he saw.
The underwater world he saw was full of endless green bamboo forests and some tall trees, which he couldn't name. It had been a long time since he discovered the bamboo forest, but he had never gone inside. Today, there is something else in this space!
Calm your mind, listen carefully to the sound of the piano echoing in your ears, and just keep walking. I don't know how long it took, but this dense bamboo forest finally came to an end.
The bottomless cliff made Li Mucheng stop. On the other side of the cliff, there is a hut made of bamboo. The hut is close to the mountain and cliff, and the aura is abundant. And in front of the room sat a woman, playing the harp.
That piano is also extremely simple. It seems to be made of ordinary bamboo in this space, and the sound that pops up is so like a heavenly sound.
The woman was dressed in a white plain yarn, and the three thousand green silks were simply tied together with a hemp rope, and braided into a ponytail hanging down behind her shoulders. Every time the fingers are as pink as green onions, a touching note is heard.
There was a hint of redness on his white face. And the dark eyes that hung down and looked at the piano carried an unusual concentration.
"Mountains and rivers?"
Li Mucheng muttered. Before stepping into the Immortal Cultivation Realm, he had heard a song of mountains and rivers in the Optimus Sect, and it was deeply remembered by him because it was pleasant. Now listening to the woman playing in the distance, it is a different feeling. The sound of the piano is soft, the feelings are soft, the melody is elegant, the charm is eternal, like a mountain stream, the water is murmuring, and then it suddenly rises, like a waterfall in the sky, the torrent is brave, and it is flying and gloomy......
A song plays the heart of the king, and the country is like a picture.
After the song is finished, the sound is scattered. Li Mucheng closed his eyes, as if he was still immersed in the world composed of the sound of the piano, and did not wake up. Putting away the piano, the woman glanced at Li Mucheng and was suddenly startled.
Because she was too focused when she played the piano, she didn't even see when Li Mucheng came here. She was stunned, but when she saw the drunken expression on Li Mucheng's face, she smiled again.
......
After a long time, Li Mucheng gradually woke up. He rubbed his eyes, only to find that the woman in the hut in the distance was gone, but the bamboo piano was still in its original place. Secretly bowing his head and smiling, Li Mucheng got up and walked out of this bamboo forest.
The next morning, just as everyone was wandering in their dreams, a golden streamer suddenly rose into the sky like a meteor, and then disappeared from sight.
This figure is Li Mucheng. Last night, he thought about it carefully, and he always felt that this woman gave him a feeling that was so familiar. And the music she played was also so touching to him.
He decided to ask the identity of the woman, who is she?
Familiar with the road, I walked to the side of the cliff along the route of yesterday. Sure enough, the woman was already sitting in front of the bamboo piano, looking at her appearance, as if she was looking for a feeling.
Her eyes were closed, and her long eyelashes fluttered from time to time. With the beautiful mountains and rivers behind, it is like a fairyland on earth. Seeing this scene, Li Mucheng's doubts that had already come to his throat were suppressed by him.
The corners of the woman's mouth were slightly hooked, as if she had found the feeling of playing. The fingers danced slightly, and the crisp and pleasant sound sounded again.
After the song was over, the woman left again without a sound. Li Mucheng, who woke up alone, looked at the bamboo house with a wry smile on his face.
He could have flown over and barged into the hut to look for the woman and ask him about his doubts. But he didn't do it, deep down, he didn't want to disturb this fairyland on earth.
In this way, it is not impossible to indulge in the melodious sound of the piano every day. I really enjoyed this feeling.
Standing up, Li Mucheng patted the dirt on his buttocks, and was about to leave, but suddenly found that the Yuan Force in his body seemed to have made some improvement.
This kind of improvement is not an increase in quantity, but a precipitation of essence. It's like quenching, removing impurities, and all that's left is the essence.
There was a little silence, but Li Mucheng didn't have any surprise reaction.
......
For seven days, every morning, he would come here to listen to the mysterious woman play a tune. And every day after opening her eyes, the woman would disappear, like a ghost, leaving no trace. If it weren't for the sound of the piano that was still echoing in Li Mucheng's heart, I'm afraid there would be nothing to prove that this woman really existed.
On the eighth day, when Li Mucheng opened his eyes, he finally saw a white veil appear in his eyes.
Today, the woman did not leave on her own, but waited for him to wake up.
"Who are you!?"
Li Mucheng hurriedly asked. However, before he could finish his words, he saw the woman suddenly raise her thin onion jade finger, put it to her mouth, and made a silent gesture to him.
"My name is Hitomi ......"
A fairy-like voice came from the woman's mouth.
The moment he heard these two words, Li Mucheng seemed to be thundering to the top, and instantly froze in place. There are countless words in my heart, but I can't say them at this moment......
"Hitomi ......"
His originally bright eyes were a little distracted at the moment, and he muttered softly with two words in his mouth.
