Chapter 7: Dream Song
After leaving the demon world, Situ Yan and E Luo returned to the Great Wilderness Mountain, told Ling Huayin what happened between the demons, and then went to Xianze Palace to find the head to explain the situation. Ling Huayin learned that this matter was related to Xianze Palace, and she was sad all day, and she couldn't go back to Shimen to investigate the matter in person, and she was even more depressed and sleepless at night, so she simply went out for a walk. I wanted to see how the hairballs were doing, but after searching around the bamboo house, I couldn't see the shadows of the hairballs, only seeing Eluo sleeping on the trees in the yard. E Luo was probably woken up by Ling Huayin's movement walking around, and said to Ling Huayin under the tree with half-open eyes: "That guy went in the direction of Yunmengtai." ”
Ling Huayin guessed that it was estimated that Situ Yan had returned from Xianze Palace, so she hurried to Yunmengtai. Situ Yan set up a special barrier in Yunmengtai, and at night, Yunmengtai was hidden by a dense fog, which was invisible to the naked eye. So Ling Huayin followed the method that Situ Yan had told her before, and knocked three times regularly under a plum tree by the stream, and sure enough, an arch-shaped entrance immediately appeared next to the plum tree.
Entering Yunmengtai, Ling Huayin heard the sound of the piano in the valley, looking for the sound, only to see Situ Yan in white on the valley sitting with the piano in his arms, as if he was casually plucking the strings, and the sound of the piano was like a clear spring washing away the dust, wandering in the valley, stirring up ripples, as if crossing the red dust, through the years, through the time, with a little sorrow in the vast night.
Ling Huayin climbed the stairs and saw that the hairball was sitting leisurely beside Situ Yan, and when she saw Ling Huayin coming, she made a cheerful sound. Before the song was played, Situ Yan stopped, Ling Huayin was a little apologetic, thinking that she had disturbed someone else's Yaxing, so she said: "I'm here to find Yintao, I don't know if I disturbed you?"
Situ Yan looked back and smiled: "Where is it a bother, I am suffering from no one listening to my piano, Linghua, you came at the right time." But then again, who is Yin Tao?"
As soon as Ling Huayin sat next to Situ Yan, the hairball jumped into Ling Huayin's hand by itself, making a lovely "chirp" sound.
"I didn't know the gender of the name I gave it, but when I saw that it was pink like a peach, I gave it the word "peach" after my name. ”
Situ Yan couldn't help laughing and said: "It's indeed a good name, presumably if this little guy grows up and transforms, he should be a strange woman as smart and clever as Linghua." ”
Ling Huayin hadn't heard anyone praise her like this for a long time, and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly in surprise, as if he had just said something earth-shattering.
"Miss Eluo is well-informed, I don't know what kind of beast Yin Tao is?" Situ Yan didn't notice anything wrong with his words just now, and continued to chat on the topic of Yin Tao.
"Eluo said that it resembles a very rare ancient fairy beast on Penglai Immortal Island, symbiotic with trees, because it can fly like birds, so it is also known as perching birds, but with the passage of time, Penglai Immortal Island has suffered several great changes, birds and beasts have piled up food, perching birds no longer fly to find food, their wings have gradually degenerated, and their bodies have undergone some changes, affected by the environment, and born inertia, their race has become more and more scarce, and it is almost difficult for descendants to see their figures. Some of those who survived migrated around, and Yin Tao may be the survivor of the woodbird race. Ling Huayin told Situ Yan everything she knew from Orona.
After Situ Yan heard what she said, he couldn't help laughing, "This species of woodbird...... Is it the so-called eating and waiting for death?"
As soon as these words came out, Ling Huayin couldn't help but laugh, and felt out of shape, so she hurriedly sat up straight and put away her smile. However, the Yin Tao in his hand was not happy, and he kept screaming, as if he was defending his own race.
Situ Yan saw Yin Tao's fierce reaction, and even confirmed: "It seems that Miss Eluo guessed correctly." No wonder as soon as I say that it eats and drinks for nothing, it becomes industrious. ”
Ling Huayin touched Yin Tao's head and said comfortingly: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it anymore." After that, he changed the topic and turned to Situ Yan, "E Luo told me that you met the mirror demon among the demons and made a move, are you injured?"
"Thanks for the care, I wasn't hurt. Situ Yan smiled and said solemnly: "But that mirror demon mentioned to me the Ink Soul Sword of your Xianze Palace for some reason, if you encounter it next time, you must be more vigilant." ”
Ling Huayin nodded, "Okay, I see, thank you." ”
Situ Yan smiled slightly, then looked at the vast sky in front of him, and his voice was brisk: "Since you are here, then I will play another song and listen to it to Linghua." Situ Yan's slender and elegant fingers caressed the strings, raising layers of rippling music, the sound of the piano is euphemistic and resolute, the timbre is like the breeze on the lake in early spring, attracting relaxation in people's hearts, and like mountains and flowing water, trickling in, and the charm of the river. Situ Yan's full attention was playing, as if his body and mind were integrated into the sound of the piano, Ling Huayin could also listen to it, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be at peace because of this music.
After the song, Ling Huayin was still immersed in it, she turned her head to look at Situ Yan, and said: "In the past, every time my master came back from a trip, he would tell me about her experience along the way. Once, when she returned from a wandering, she brought me a painting of mountains and rivers, plum blossoms, and a fairy in white sitting on the top of the valley playing the harp, and even the birds stopped on the branches to listen to him, and were reluctant to leave. The world is reckless, the world is vast, but the music lingers in my heart for a long time, making people forget the troubles of the world. The master said that she would never forget that scene for the rest of her life, and I longed for it when I heard it. I heard about you from the master a long time ago, but I only knew that there was an immortal who was good at playing the piano in the Qing Huitai, but I didn't know your name and surname, and I never thought that I would one day be able to see the scene depicted by the master in person, and it was really emotional to think about it. ”
Situ Yan chuckled, "The head of Hengwei has been in Qinghuitai for dozens of days, and when he chats, he often mentions you to me. ”
Ling Huayin opened her mouth and said with some surprise: "Master, what else did you tell me?"
"Hehe, say that you work very hard, although you are already an immortal, but often do not sleep at night, when everyone else has fallen asleep, you are still practicing swordsmanship in the practice room. On weekdays, he doesn't smile and rejects people thousands of miles away, but when he sees small animals, he can be happy for a long time. Especially the fluffy kittens and puppies, you see always love it. Stubborn, and good at fighting, when encountering a fight between disciples, he did not hesitate to come forward, but was secretly retaliated by some disciples, but you were exposed on the spot, and then the head of Hengwei learned of this and wanted to punish the disciples who made trouble, but you protected them and saved them from blame. Situ Yan counted with a smile.
Ling Huayin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed to hear about her past from the mouth of someone she had just met, but she felt that this feeling was not bad, at least her mood was no longer as restless as during the day.
"It's all in the past, and she still talks about it all day long. Wouldn't it be strange for you to hear this? I was just a stranger to you at the time. ”
Situ Yan said: "I think these are quite interesting, how can I think it is strange?"
Ling Huayin bent the corners of her mouth slightly, and said, "I've been bothering you for a long time tonight, I should take Yin Tao back." Thank you for playing. After that, Ling Huayin said goodbye to Situ Yan and left Yunmengtai with Yintao.
Back at the bamboo house, Oro had fully woken up, she looked at Yin Tao who was sleeping in Ling Huayin's arms, looked up at the sky in the distance, and said: "The activities of the nearby monsters have become more frequent, just like back then, I have a bad premonition, maybe the world will not be peaceful again, Ling Huayin." ”
Ling Huayin frowned, followed Eluo's gaze, but she couldn't feel anything, only the reckless night and the black shadows cast in the woods, everything was quiet.
In the middle of the night, Ling Huayin had a strange dream, dreaming that she was walking on a boundless glacier, surrounded by a vast white patch, even the sky was white, the world was silent, she was the only one, I don't know where the front was. Occasionally seeing a clear spring, she stepped through the water, passed through a plum forest, and saw two vague figures at the end, a man and a woman, both dressed in white, who seemed to be talking. Ling Huayin suddenly felt that these two people were a little familiar, and when she got closer, the two of them were always so far away from her. In a trance, both of them looked in the direction of Ling Huayin, their faces were still blurred, Ling Huayin walked forward, and the plum blossoms on the tree fell suddenly, covering the figures of the two people. She hurriedly stretched out her hand, but her fingertips fluttered into the air, and the two people under the tree were gone, and her own face was reflected in the water, no, it should be said that it was another person's face, a face of ice and snow that could overturn the world. Ling Huayin looked at the reflection in the water in a daze, and was so surprised that she couldn't speak, and suddenly, the person in the water slowly opened her lips and called her name: "Ling Huayin......"
Ling Huayin woke up from her dream suddenly, only to find that E Luo was standing at the head of the bed looking at her, frowning slightly and looking a little worried.
"Ling Huayin, I've called you many times just now. "Oro Road.
Ling Huayin raised a hand and pressed her temple, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, what time is it?"
"It's time, how can you not wake up, this symptom, I thought you were possessed by a demon. Situ Yan was outside. Elo said.
Ling Huayin hurriedly got up and said lightly: "I am indeed dreaming. ”
"What did you dream about?"
"I dreamed that I was walking in the snowy mountains and became a different person. Ling Huayin said as she tied her hair in the mirror.
Ero stood by and watched her neatly tidy up her appearance, and asked curiously, "This is interesting, what does that woman look like?"
Ling Huayin replied to her: "It's beautiful, it's embarrassing." ”
"Oh, I've heard that some people dream of their past lives when they have certain opportunities, and maybe the person you become in your dreams is your past life. Oro couldn't help but guess.
Ling Huayin shook her head and said, "I once saw the Sansheng Mirror from my master, and there was nothing in it, which means that I didn't have a previous life at all, and now I am in the first life of this world." ”
O Luo's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this, "The Sansheng Mirror, that is the mirror that can be seen in the legend of the previous life, your master actually has this treasure! Ling Huayin, when will you let me see it?"
Ling Huayin glanced at Eluo, and said indifferently: "After my master left, the mirror was also sealed, and you probably won't be able to see it." With that, Ling Huayin left the room.
