Fairy Sword Inquiry 1

Chapter 43 The first fall in the lake of love
"This girl...is suitable for both movement and stillness!" Xing Yan looked at the handsome girl standing by the window in front of him, and listened quietly to her playing.After listening for a while, and occasionally looking out of the window, Xingyan was surprised to find that with the melody of the jade flute on the girl's lips, clouds gradually gathered in the originally almost cloudless sky.At the beginning, it was just a stream of clouds, and later, more and more gathered, and gradually stagnated into a thick cloud layer.The moon, which was originally clear and bright for thousands of miles, has long been covered by the thick black ink clouds.

... After another half hour, I woke up and heard that the pattering autumn rain had finally fallen.This slick of rain dripped little ripples on the surface of the vast Poyang Lake.While fluttering, a few wisps of rain and wind also flew leisurely into the eaves, and fell on the blue-haired hairpin of the girl facing the window, covering her with a bit of blurred brilliance, making her like the hazy autumn rain, like fog, like worry……

When Xingyan was staring blankly at the smoky and illusory girl in white clothes in front of the window, she suddenly stopped playing the flute, turned around, smiled at Xingyan, and said, "I still want to leave now." Is it? It's raining!"

Under the candlelight, Xingyan finally saw clearly that Lingyi'er now had a smug smile on her face.Seeing this situation, Xingyan smiled wryly, and said in his heart: "This girl is really naughty, if you don't hurry, just tell me directly, won't it be all right?" But Ling Yier handed back the jade flute in her hand to Xingyan , sat down again, and said with a smile: "Don't just sit there all the time and be like a goose—how about my song "Feng Shui Yin"? Do you want to learn it?" Hearing this, I suddenly remembered that there was still this problem, and hurriedly agreed: "I want to learn, I want to learn!" "Hey! If you really want to learn, you have to call me 'Master' first!" "Eh? Princess ? Didn't you hear it wrong?" Xingyan wondered.But at the critical juncture of learning the song, I don't hesitate to ask this question.

Xing Yan took a closer look at Ling Yi'er, and saw that her pretty face was full of a shrewd smile.Seeing this situation, Xingyan knew that this girl still remembered the teasing he had done to her earlier, and now she wanted to take advantage of it.

"master!!"

——For Xingyan, if he can learn the mysterious song that summons wind and rain just now, let alone shouting once, even if he shouts thousands of times, what's the problem?Xingyan said that this market boy doesn't care about this, the word "Master" almost blurted out, screaming loudly and crisply!

"Oh! What a good student! You're so good! This song is—" Lingyi'er was about to recite the score to Xingyan, but she stopped suddenly, paused, and then continued: "Forget it, I think your memory must be very poor, there are so many scores, you can’t remember them even if you tell them. I’d better take the music score book with me next time and lend it to you for reference!” “That’s okay!!”

Xingyan naturally agreed.He thought to himself, from now on, he must be careful to serve this goddess.If it makes her unhappy, maybe this little girl who has always been eccentric and unpredictable will renege on her promise and become fat. That would be very bad!
"By the way, I really don't know something, so please tell me, master." Xingyan showed the pedantic etiquette to his teacher, Ji Lao, with a respectful tone, as if he was really facing a learned senior teacher now. "Speak, dear boy."

Ling Yi'er pretended to be highly respected, as if she had taken her title of teacher at ease.

"Why can this melody be able to make wind, rain and even thunder?" "Well—"

Glancing at Xingyan who was stretching her neck and listening nervously, Lingyi'er subconsciously elongated her tone: "Ask me, you're asking the right person!" After the gesture was over, Lingyi'er answered seriously:

"The five tones played by this flute correspond to the attributes of the five elements. The palace is earth, the merchant is gold, the horns are wood, the horns are fire, and the feathers are water. , and then blowing it out with the non-mortal jade flute Shenxue, it has the same effect as using Tao power to assist the incantation, and then casting the spell. I can't explain why it is like this."

"The song "Water Dragon Yin", I heard that it was passed down by my grandfather's grandfather. It has been many, many years, and I can't count it. This song "Feng Shui Yin" was specially written by my grandfather, because I can't play "Water Dragon Song"."

Speaking of this, Ling Yi'er made a grimace, but thought in her heart that grandpa still loves her quite a lot.This song "Feng Shui Yin" actually has another name in her family, it is called "Yi Zhi Si".It's just that for some reason, Ling Yi'er suddenly felt that this name was a bit embarrassing, and she couldn't say it in front of this young man.After listening to Lingyi'er's explanation, Xingyan half-understands it.Although it is not very clear, at any rate, I probably know what is going on.Now don't look at the expression on Xingyan's face as usual, but in his heart, he feels a deep shock.This kind of shock was unprecedented for him - even the weird lightning and thunder on Horseshoe Mountain that night did not make his heartstrings as excited as it is now.

The young man finally knew that what he experienced before was not a coincidence as he once thought.These spells that can call wind and rain, attract thunder and electricity, actually do exist in this world!
What made him particularly excited was that, from what Lingyi'er said just now, all these miraculous and mysterious spells seemed to have a rationale to follow!
The words of Lingyi'er's "master" seemed to flash a dazzling flash of lightning in front of this ignorant young man, suddenly opening a splendid door for him, faintly allowing him to see a picture that he had never seen before. Dare to imagine the magnificent picture!
Let's talk about Ling Yi'er, after she finished speaking, she found that the young man in front of her was stunned for some reason.Just as he was about to reach out his hand and shake it in front of his eyes, he didn't expect that the young man who was still there just now stood up suddenly and shouted towards the stairs:
"Man! Bring up a jug of wine!"

Then, the young man whose face was flushed with excitement gave a deep bow to Ling Yi'er who didn't know what happened, and said sincerely: "Thank you for your teaching, Master! A salute! Then I will ask my apprentice to buy you a drink and express my gratitude!" Hearing this remark, Ling Yi'er, who was about to say that she can't drink much, suddenly didn't want to spoil the young man's interest, I still swallowed that refusal, and said softly: "Hey! It's just a little thing, you don't have to be so polite!" After Xiao Er brought up the small wine jar, Xing Yan first poured a glass for Ling Yi'er— —It seems that he was also afraid that the girl would be too strong to drink, so he didn't fill up his hands.Then, he poured his wine cup full again, and exchanged glasses with Lingyi'er.Xing Yan used to drink the self-brewed pine fruit wine at home, but he has learned a bit of alcohol.However, the drinks at that time were all mellow and not spicy, and it was difficult to get intoxicated. Hence the exaggerated saying that "a thousand cups will never be poured". There was still a hint of alcohol on his face.Ling Yi'er didn't want to play tricks on him at this moment.She herself just sipped the wine lightly, and at intervals she persuaded Xingyan not to drink too quickly.

However, Xing Yan was just happy in his heart, so he didn't listen to the girl's persuasion.When he got drunk, the mellow taste of alcohol rushed to his forehead.All of a sudden, in Xingyan's mind, the singing and dancing Fairy Lingbo, the fairy-like Yiren in Mengli, the sky and rain on Poyang Lake, the lightning and thunder on the top of Horseshoe Mountain, the jasper flute, the elm wood demon, the nameless sword... , Shuilongyin, and those years of humiliation for food and clothing, those happy, sad, sad, everything in the past, flashed like a revolving lantern in front of his bewildered eyes.

In an instant, this street boy who has always been respectful and earnestly strived for a living, all the barriers that lay between his chest seemed to be melted by the wine in the cup.Xingyan only felt an inexplicable sense of sadness and pride rushing straight to his forehead.I saw him standing up suddenly, holding the cup and fou, facing the continuous autumn rain outside the window, beating the beat with chopsticks, singing in a manly voice:
"I once invited the bright moon to drink in a high-rise building, with red makeup and wine, and drunkenly playing Jin Ou. I sang late autumn with the wind, and the sky was long, and my heart was long. The babbling is gentle, the shadow of the girl in the bottle, and the orchid boat in the dream. What is the soul of the cold night? Where to stay? Inside the Chrysanthemum Lane, the Misty Rain Bamboo Building."

After singing a song, look back at Lingyi.But she saw that she was staring at him bewilderedly while listening to his miscellaneous poem.

At this moment, in Xing Yan's drunken eyes, he could only feel that the girl under the lamp in front of her had a fairy-like mouth and nose, and picturesque eyebrows.The young man looked out of the window at the misty lake in the misty autumn rain, and sang:

"Thousands of chrysanthemums, the autumn wind is cold, and the water is flowing when you climb the tower. The songs of the beauties are melodious, and the cold fragrance is flying, and the cranes are flying back. Flying lightly, you are traveling in the emperor's town, and you are looking up at the big pieces, like the moon and white smoke, pure and pure. It’s boundless for thousands of years!”

This sad and lonely song, just like the howling of the dragon in the cave, echoed for a long time on the smoky and vast lake.

After waking up and singing, when she turned around, she was unsteady, and fell drunk on the table in front of Ling Yi'er.Seeing him drunk for the first time, Ling Yi'er, who had just been intoxicated by Xing Yan's soul-stirring songs, suddenly felt a little at a loss.

After thinking for a long time, Lingyi seemed to make up her mind, called Xiao Er, settled the bill, then tried her best to help the drunk young man, walked down the stairs carefully, walked out of the Wanghu Restaurant, and walked along the lake. Ti staggered forward.

Although it was still raining continuously, the strange thing was that within a few feet of the two people in the rain, there was not even a ray of rain.When the wind and rain all over the sky came near these two people, they drifted to both sides like the flowers brushing the willows, without touching the two people at all.

After walking for a while, she came to a secluded place, Lingyi'er looked around carefully, and seeing that it was quiet and no one was there, she leaned Xingyan against a crooked willow tree by the lake.

I saw her straightening her bun that had just been disturbed by the awakening words, bowing her head and chanting a mantra silently.After a while, after the recitation was over, Lingyi pointed her green finger towards the sleepy Xingyan—then saw the young man who was leaning crookedly on the willow tree suddenly twitched. There was a faint clear light.

Seeing that the spell took effect, Ling Yi'er stepped forward, leaned Xing Yan on her shoulder again, took his arm, and walked to the lake where the waves were so loud.

She slightly supported the intoxicated young man beside him, then touched the lake embankment with both feet, and jumped into the lake lightly with a wake-up call.

Falling into the lake, the two people just paused for a moment, and then they both submerged in the water... The rain hit the lake flat, and there was no sound.This cold and lonely autumn lake only spun slightly at that moment, and then remained silent again.
