Chapter 909: On board
However, at this moment, a sound of "bang!" came, and then, I saw the splash of water around him, most of which flew towards the small boat where Cheng Yixue was; Cheng Yixue was immersed in the wet and comfortable, and after noticing it, he hurriedly dodged, but even so, there were many splashes on the bow of the boat.
After Cheng Yixue came back to her senses, she hurriedly looked at the book that she had put on the bow of the boat before, which was soaked in water at the moment, and the pages were glued together; Cheng Yixue picked it up and shook it vigorously, her eyes were full of regret; fortunately, the book was very old, and the ink on it could still be seen clearly.
Then, I saw Cheng Yixue shake off the water traces on the book, and then opened the pages seriously, but after only hearing the sound of "poof", because the pages were soaked, they were torn lightly under this turn
Seeing this, Cheng Yixue couldn't help but sigh
"Hehe, you're so interesting, isn't it just a book, and it's so precious, is there any peerless secret recorded on it?"
Cheng Yixue heard the sound and looked at it, and saw that on the opposite side was a boat with several exquisite paintings, with two floors, and a purple bead curtain hung outside, and the pillars of the ship were made of unknown materials, exuding bright brilliance, carving dragons and phoenixes.
At the front of this painting boat, there is a young girl, dressed in green, with a beaded hairpin on her head, who is smiling at Cheng Yixue at the moment, with a charming smile, and her eyes are also a little innocent and childlike;
Cheng Yixue looked at the woman and saw that the woman was holding a small cloth bag in her hand. There were many pearls the size of a dragon's eye in the sack, and at this moment, the girl was throwing the pearls in the sack into the river; It was the woman who threw the pearls.
Cheng Yixue was angry in his heart, and his mind swept towards the woman, and found that she was also a monk of the Spirit Realm, and he didn't want to pay attention to it at the moment, and besides, he didn't want to cause trouble in this Sushi City, so he closed the book, turned around and wanted to leave.
"Hey. You haven't told me yet, what kind of book are you reading?Hey, I'm talking to you," the girl in green saw Cheng Yixue turn around and leave, quite angry, and stomped her little feet on the bow of the painting boat and said. made a few grimaces at Cheng Yixue's back.
"Zheng Zheng Zheng!" However, at the moment when Cheng Yixue was about to leave, from the painting boat, the sound of the piano suddenly stopped. The sound of the piano is tactful. Fluctuating high and low, flickering and flickering; every syllable can be heard clearly; as if the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the mountains and rivers are the same color, revealing the ups and downs of the world in the silence; in a trance, the spring flowers are falling, the wind and clouds are surging, and the ups and downs and grievances are dissolved in the competition.
Cheng Yixue suddenly heard the sound of the piano, paused suddenly, and then turned around. Immersed in the sound, it was so familiar to him that he had heard it more than once. It is indeed a heartless song.
In this world, music can abandon the idea of right and wrong, and get people's light praise; and the Tiansheng Wuxin song can change with the mood of the song, and it is widely spread, and it can be heard here today, which still makes Cheng Yixue feel a lot of surprises in his heart.
After a while, the sound of the piano stopped, and Cheng Yixue looked at the girl in green and couldn't help asking, "Who is stroking the piano?"
"Hmph, why do you want to sue you?" The girl saw Cheng Yixue's intoxicated look, her expression was dissatisfied, and she said a little rudely.
Seeing this, Cheng Yixue instantly understood that the girl was obviously deliberately making things difficult because he didn't reply before, thinking of this, Cheng Yixue smiled dumbly, and was about to reply, but at this moment, another voice sounded.
"Xiaolian, don't be rude" From the painting boat, a woman's voice appeared, after the girl heard this, she pouted the corners of her mouth and didn't speak, but Cheng Yixue set her eyes on the painting boat, and she didn't know who was in it.
"This Taoist friend, this song is called Tiansheng Wuxin Song, have you ever heard it? Could it be that Taoist friends are also proficient in music?" At this time, such words came from the painting boat, which were very soft and weak, but Cheng Yixue understood that these words were obviously said to him.
"I used to dabble in music when I was a child, and now I have long forgotten it, but when I saw the song played by the Taoist friends, I recalled the old things for a while, and I wanted to ask about it. Cheng Yixue replied slowly, he was born in a family of eunuchs, and he did dabble in music and rhythm when he was very young, but the time was negligible.
"Why should you be too humble, there are very few people I know, and there are no people who can be proficient in music and rhythm; The woman took Cheng Yixue's words as self-humble words, and said like this at the moment.
Cheng Yixue's eyes moved, he came to this Sushi City, there was nothing important, after a little thought, he agreed, and then, the aura on his body was bright, and after a slight flash, he appeared like a ghost on the painting boat not far away, and happened to land next to the green-clothed girl named Xiaolian.
"Hey, your escape technique looks pretty good, no wonder my young lady wants to see you, however, I can tell you, my young lady is unwell, you don't have to stay here for too long" Xiaolian looked at Cheng Yixue in surprise for a few moments, and said with a solemn expression.
After finishing speaking, Xiaolian led Cheng Yixue towards the painting boat, and Cheng Yixue followed closely, muttering in her heart, secretly saying that the owner of the painting boat was not an immortal cultivator.
As soon as she entered it, the fragrance of the woman overflowed into her nose, and Xiaolian took Cheng Yixue to the second floor of the painting boat, and as soon as she entered it, Cheng Yixue saw a woman sitting in front of a long wooden table.
On the wooden table, there is also a guqin, and the woman is gently tuning the strings with her back to Cheng Yixue.
"Miss, the people have come. Xiaolian stood behind the woman and said respectfully, only to see the woman get up slowly, and then looked at Cheng Yixue.
※※※
Cheng Yixue looked at the woman, only to see that her eyebrows were lowered, her figure was petite, she was wearing pink clothes, her skin was fair, her black hair was naturally hanging down, and she only wore light makeup.
"The concubine said that she gave a salute to the Taoist friend. The woman smiled at Cheng Yixue, and then saluted.
"In the next surname Cheng, if you come here to disturb, you can also hope for your friend Haihan. Cheng Yixue also returned the courtesy, and also found that the woman's cultivation was not high, and she could reach the top level of agility, and she was slightly surprised in her heart, only such a slight cultivation, but her actions were a little ostentatious, in a place like Sushi City, could it be a person with a noble status?
"Cheng Daoyou, looking at you, it should be the first time you have come to this Sushi City, I don't know where you are cultivating?"
"That's right, but don't misunderstand fellow Daoists, I'm just a casual cultivator, and I don't devote myself to any immortal cultivation sect. Cheng Yixue replied slowly.
"I see, but it's okay like this, like Daoyou, there is no restraint, it's also a quick thing, and now it's the auction every ten years in Sushi City, and Daoyou is here, presumably to participate in the auction. Shuang Qianyan's eyes turned and said suddenly.
"Actually, Cheng only accompanied a good friend, and with my cultivation, I naturally can't participate in large-scale auctions, so it's better to go to various markets to search for things that are useful to me. Cheng Yixue said truthfully, now that he has sealed his cultivation, the venue where Yuanying and other level cultivators gather, naturally cannot enter.
"By the way, I saw Daoist friends flipping through ancient books on the boat before, could it be that Daoist friends are practicing national arts?" After hearing Cheng Yixue's words, Shuangqianyan only bowed slightly, and then, as soon as the words changed, he asked Cheng Yixue's cultivation method.
Cheng Yixue didn't care in her heart, her expression pretended to hesitate, and then she said: "Cheng is indeed involved in national arts, but he is not proficient in it. ”
"I didn't expect that Daoyou not only dabbled in music, but also practiced national arts, which really made the concubine admire very much; however, because of the blessing beforehand, Xiaolian mistakenly soaked the ancient books of Daoyou, and the concubine was here to make amends to Daoyou on behalf of Xiaolian, and I hope that Cheng Daoyou should not care. Shuangqianyan's expression flashed with surprise, and then he said like this.
"It doesn't matter, the invitation of the Taoist friend to come here is already kind to Cheng, how can he take the trivial matter to heart; besides, the way of the national art is broad and subtle, I have already read this book and memorized it by heart; however, the blessing that the Taoist friend said, is not very clear in the next?" Cheng Yixue waved his hand and said with a chuckle.
"Pray for blessings, naturally for my young lady, do you think we will be happy to come here?" After hearing this, Xiaolian behind the woman was immediately dissatisfied, and said angrily to Cheng Yixue.
But Shuang Qianyan cast a resentful gaze, Xiaolian immediately kept silent, with Cheng Yixue's identity, he naturally didn't take this junior's words to heart, but he still didn't understand the matter of praying for blessings, and his eyes were full of doubts.
"It's the first time for you to come to Sushi City, and it's understandable that you don't understand this blessing, and I don't know if you know what the name of the river we swim in?" said Shuangqianyan, turning to look at the water river.
"I've heard of this, this river is called the Soul River. Cheng Yixue blurted out.
"Yes, in fact, the name of this river is related to the matter of praying for blessings; a long time ago, the mortals here used to say that as long as they cast pearls into the river and pray sincerely, the heavens will be able to hear the call of the people, so as to fulfill the prayers of the people; in fact, for a person like a concubine who is about to die, it is just a futile act, but fortunately it is not a worthwhile trip to meet a Taoist friend. Shuang Qianyan smiled faintly, and said helplessly. (To be continued)(To be continued......
