Chapter 68: Chapter 68: A Night of Fish and Dragon Dance ([-])

Gu Jiuniang took the score, but the cover of the book was rotten. She turned a page and read two paragraphs. There was a gleam between her usually dull brows and eyes, and she was surprised: "Five Dan and Seven Tune... belong to the Xue family..."

Li Chan smiled and said, "Jiu Niang will watch first."

He and Nie Er exchanged glances, got up and left.Seeing that the medicinal juice was boiling, Nie Er closed the damper.Li Chan saw the yellow paper on the table containing the medicine, and there was a cinnabar curse on the paper. He asked, "Is this medicine not cheap?"

Nie Er nodded, glanced at the dumb woman's back, and went downstairs.There were people coming and going outside the building, and he said with emotion: "It's a lot of fun to watch today."

"Jiu Niang also wants to compete with others?" Li Chan walked to the bamboo screen on the first floor and saw the shrine covered with red silk.

Nie Er shook his head and sighed: "I haven't been there for many years, but I have to dress up every day." He walked to the shrine, took a bite of the enshrined buttered abalone, and said vaguely: "But this time Well……"

Li Chan walked over, pushed the red silk through a gap two fingers wide, and saw the white sandalwood statue in the shrine.I saw the statue with wings on its back, bouncing off the pipa, with a female face and a bird body, eager to sing, with a graceful and bewitching posture.He stopped, picked up a buttered abalone, and said while eating: "Is there such a thing as Da Yong, maybe it came from Fansheng Kingdom?"

He was talking about the white sandalwood statue in the shrine.

The name of the statue is Miaoyinniao. Miaoyinniao is a great demon in ancient times. Later, he surrendered under the lotus seat of the infinite Buddha and was worshiped by all living beings in the Buddhist kingdom.

According to legend, Miaoyinniao has a fierce temperament, and especially likes to eat the cartilage between human throats. That piece of cartilage is called "epiglottis".It kills without counting, and later got enlightened by the Buddha, swallowed charcoal and destroyed its singing voice, and because of this, it had an epiphany and devoted itself to Buddhism.

There is another legend circulating in Fansheng Kingdom. It is said that Miaoyinniao's singing voice is unparalleled in the world, but it can only sing once in its life.

The people of Fansheng country enshrine the statue of Miaoyin bird, and after worshiping for a long time, the statue also generates magic power by itself.The white sandalwood Miaoyin bird statue in this shrine is dark and introverted, quite ancient, and Li Chandan can see the brilliance flowing in it at a glance.

"I can't hide it from you." Neil wiped his fingers on the corner of his clothes, "This thing has emptied my savings."

Li Chan raised her eyebrows, "Where did you come from, how did this thing pass Longwu Pass?"

Neil chuckled, but didn't answer.

Li Chan glanced upstairs and said thoughtfully: "Jiu Niang wants to use this thing to compete in the Fish and Dragon Club?"

"Yes." Nie Er nodded, seeing Nie Kongkong poking his head towards the door, he shouted: "Go, go, what are you listening to, make a pot of tea!"

Nie Kongkong pursed her lips, turned her head and snorted, and saw a group of people outside wearing red and green, surrounded by a big pride walking past, she looked up for a long time before entering the room to make tea.

Li Chan sat down at Jian's table and said, "This is a good idea, but some swords have gone too far..." He suddenly remembered that he was also a master of going too far, so he didn't say any more.

Nie Er said: "As long as you don't use unorthodox tricks to harm others, people from the Ichthyosaur Society won't be too good at bothering you."

Li Chan shook her head, "Leaving aside the Ichthyosaur Society, the legend about the Miaoyinniao in Fansheng Kingdom is not false. Mute lady's voice is not good, if it hurts again, it will be difficult for her to speak."

Neil changed the topic: "What do you want to ask me when you come back here?"

Li Chan didn't bother about Miaoyinniao anymore, and asked, "Does Nie Sanlang know about the saint's journey to the west?"

Nie Er laughed and said, "Who doesn't know now? The sage has arrived in Shuzhou. I heard that he is going to the old palace city to worship his ancestors during the Taozhi Festival."

Only then did Li Chan know that although Nie Er was well informed, he only knew that the emperor was coming to worship the ancestors, and he didn't know the news that the emperor was going to the west of the country to practice Taodu Mountain.He paused, and said: "When the time comes, all civil and military officials will accompany you, please brother to help me find out some news."

Nie Er said, "But it's okay to say."

Li Chan said: "At that time, Yuan Jianzheng from Qin Tianjian should also come. Yuan Jianzheng will definitely stay in Xuandu Station. I have something to pay homage to him, but there is no way."

Nie Er sized up Li Chan and said with a smile, "You have a good reputation now. Director Cao of Xunning Palace and Deputy Envoy Su Guan of Yunni Club, which one is not a good friend? It's just that the identity of the supervisor is not ordinary. Still a great supernatural power…”

"So I'm counting on you." Li Chan said that she took out the 50 taels of silver bills folded into angles from her waist pocket, "I don't need to do anything about it, just help me find some news."

"Hehe, you're well-developed." Nie Er smiled and put away the banknotes, then heard footsteps upstairs, turned his head and saw that Gu Jiuniang was coming down from the stairs, her hair was covered with black hair, her face was painted with fat and powder, Wearing a white skirt with a full chest and a lotus flower embroidered skirt with a red border and a dark green bottom with a beaded pattern, the tube top is opened slightly lower, and you can see a piece of snow-white plumpness.

She held the sheet music in her hand, and when she saw Li Chan, she quickened her pace.When he arrived at the table, he said in a hoarse voice: "This sheet music does have Master Xue's legacy. It seems... It's even more bizarre and changeable than Master Xue's past music style. Where did Li Lang get it?"

Li Chan said: "I met Xue Jian's descendants a few days ago."

Gu Jiuniang was stunned: "Master Xue still has descendants alive?"

Li Chan shook her head, "It's gone now."

Gu Jiuniang clenched her fingers unconsciously, wrinkled the score, and quickly relaxed her movements again, with a gloomy look on her face.

Li Chan said: "Can Jiu Niang play this piece?"

"Yes..." Gu Jiuniang nodded, then shook her head again, "But for the five-dan and seven-tune tunes, a five-stringed pipa is needed...but I can't find it for a while, and I need to find a luthier to order. The head... the body of the piano ...the frets are all different from the four strings."

"It's a pity." Li Chan sighed, and suddenly saw Nie Kongkong, who was making tea, running in from the door, panting slightly, and shouted: "Cao Huishou is here, Cao Huishou is here!"

Nie Er looked at Gu Jiuniang. These days are the days when the head of the Fish and Dragon Association will host the competition to determine the qualifications. He asked Nie Kongkong: "Cao Sulan?"

Nie Kongkong nodded, "Yes, yes, that's Huishou Cao. Many people are waiting to see him play the fairy rod."
