Chapter 43
###43 Broken string
In Guize Pavilion, the sound of the piano is long and the spring breeze is warm.Qixia Mountain is pure and bright, which is a good time for self-cultivation.Although she hasn't seen her master for a few days, Xiaoyu feels at ease, and can play whatever tune she wants, and use whatever key she likes.

Although elegant music is beautiful, if it cannot be done according to one's own spontaneity, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the scenery?With Xiaoyu thinking like this, she didn't dare to let her master know that Ye Xiaolou was very serious and serious under his gentle and jade-like appearance.

It's just that I finally got to land once, and I had to stay in the mountains all day. I was really unwilling to stay in my room reading and playing the piano.Then he thought that compared to the palace, this mountain was a bit more elegant and monotonous. It would be better to be idle on his own, and go to the palace to find some gold and silver treasures to help the master improve his life.

Thinking of this, a burning anxiety arose in my heart, and the sound of the piano suddenly became high and low, tight and empty.

But how can I get to the palace?How about going to Qing Ye Ling to do a favor and use the transformation technique to send it to the palace?Xiaoyu rubbed her head, shook her head, and said to herself: "No, no, let's go and come back secretly, so that no one will notice, and if the master suddenly comes back from Dongting Lake, he won't be blamed. ."

He made a decision in his heart, stood up suddenly, and used the transformation technique according to Ye Ling's method, without even changing the position of the corner of his clothes.

He couldn't help but frown, "Is this what I remember? Is there something wrong?" He concentrated his attention and tried again. This time, he was still in the same place, but one of the strings was gone.

The sound of the string breaking reached Xiaoyu's ears a little later.It arrived accompanied by another familiar voice.

"What are you doing?" Ye Ling looked at Qin with a nervous expression, as if he was about to turn the pot upside down.

"Do you know how precious this piano is?"

Seeing Ye Ling's furious look, Xiaoyu really didn't know what was going on, and thought to herself, if the string is broken, just pick up another one. If there are silver grass and water stones at this time, if it doesn't work, go to the quicksand border to find purple gold shells, let alone It's just one string, even if it requires a hundred strings.

"Why is Sister Yeling in such a hurry? As far as I know, it's not uncommon for the strings to break. Just connect another one. Could it be that this string has never been broken?"

"This piano is the treasure of Qixia Mountain. Even I have never played it once. How can you play it so easily." Ye Ling's tone was angry and sad.

Xiaoyu also became a little scared when she saw this, thinking that this would be terrible. If the stingy master knew about this, he didn't know how much debt he would have to bear on himself.

Thinking of this, it felt like water and stones were splashing in my heart, and I felt like I had nowhere to hide.

"Then, if I can mend the string, will Sister Ye Ling be willing to keep the secret for me?" Xiaoyu begged with watery eyes.

"Have you mended the strings? It's not that easy. Not to mention that the strings of this piano are hard to find in the world. Even if you find them, they won't complement the other six strings because of the different era."

The wind that passed through Guize Pavilion was filled with Ye Ling's reproach, and the leaves couldn't bear it and fell down.

"Is this really that serious?" Xiaoyu asked again, feeling lucky.

"If Madam finds out, I don't know how the host will be punished." This time Ye Ling stopped talking and suddenly disappeared from his mouth. Xiaoyu understood a little bit.

She nodded obediently, "In that case, I understand. This piano is valuable and probably belongs to the lady you mentioned. In this case, it seems that there is no other way now, except to find the most suitable one." A string can be used for a while, what do you think, sister Ye Ling?"

Ye Ling was worried, sighing and getting angry at the same time, "Well, let me think of a solution." After saying this, he sat down on the piano and said to himself with a frown: "The host is usually reluctant to teach. My music, now, I can only rely on what I have learned and try my best." Ye Ling used a technique, and a small and cute bird flew into the Guize Pavilion with its back to the sun, like a ball. A pair of small wings fluttered in the air like wool.

"It's so cute. Is this a bird?" Xiaoyu opened her curious eyes. This bird looks very fluffy and endearing.

"This is the hummingbird from the mirror, its name is Sparrow Tong." Yeling raised his jaw slightly, twisted his hands twice and cast a spell that Xiaoyu had never seen before, and the hummingbird circled above the two of them, As if looking at something.

"Since it is a hummingbird, why is it called Quetong?" Xiaoyu asked shamelessly.

Ye Ling focused impatiently on his spells and had no intention of answering.After a while, the hummingbird flew to the inkstone, advanced and retreated, and refused to leave.

Ye Ling stood up and walked over, only to see that when he came back, his hands were dark, and a silvery phantom string was held between his slender pink fingers.

"I have never seen a bird find something. What magic did my sister use just now to make the bird find the strings?"

Ye Ling glared at Xiaoyu complainingly, and then looked at the strings in his hand, frost flowers twinkling at the corners of his eyes, as if he was about to shed tears.

"Now, this and the strings cannot be repaired."

"How about my sister tell me where I can find the same string, and I'll go find it."

"Not to mention that this harp is a treasure, even ordinary harps are hard to find strings for now." Ye Ling lamented sadly.

"Why exactly?" Xiaoyu really didn't understand. If he were in Wan City, everyone would be able to make strings, even soldiers like Jing Shoucheng.Why have land-based strings become such a rare thing?
"I would like to say that when the current emperor was young, he fell in love with a woman of extraordinary beauty. The woman's piano sound was as bright as a shooting star and as continuous as flowing water. The sound of the piano floated far away in Kunlun, reaching Congji, and was deeply imprinted in my heart. The emperor's heart was exactly that of a graceful lady, who played the piano and played the piano as a friend. Later, the whereabouts of this woman were unknown, and there were many legends.

Some say that the emperor listened to the Queen Mother and gave up his lover for the throne, while others say that the woman threw herself into the lake for the emperor. There are even legends that the woman was the incarnation of an evil spirit in the lake who seduced the emperor.At that time, the world was at peace, and the situation in the court was finally stabilized. The court would not tolerate anything involving evil spirits. As the heir to the throne, how could the emperor dare to get involved with this.It is said that he kept silent about this person.

Xu was in order to avoid looking at things and thinking about others, after the emperor ascended the throne, he issued an edict that no one should play the piano in the downtown area without permission. "

"It turns out that there is such a desolate story, so it is very difficult to find a string now because there are no luther-pickers who know how to cut the lute, right?"

"You're not too stupid after all." Ye Ling smiled half-heartedly.

"Since it's hard to find it among the people, does sister know where else I can find the strings?"

"The Royal Palace."

Hearing the word "palace", Xiaoyu felt happy. It was so good. She originally wanted to go to the palace to find some silver coins. Since I could still find the strings there, Sister Ye Ling would definitely agree to send me there.
