Sixty-fourth bowl of soup (6)

Everyone stood on the square and waited for a stick of incense before they saw a tall and tall man in a black robe appeared. He was not very pompous. There was no expression on a handsome face, calm and solemn, behind him. Followed several servants.

Listening to the whispers of the surrounding people, Qianxun and Ling Zheng realized that this was the owner of the Excalibur Villa, solemn.

This person seems to be about 30 years old, but he has never married a wife. I heard that he took a child to his lap to raise him. It sounds like he will not marry for life, and I don't know why.

"You are here today to make the humble house flourish. You should also know the rules of the Excalibur Villa. Only those who are predestined and able can take this sword. There are still important things to do, so you won’t be able to accompany you. ."

After speaking, he went as lightly as when he came, and I am afraid that the time to stay from start to finish is less than half an hour. Chikaoro kept looking up at the grave, only to feel that this person's eyes were deep and far away, as if there were some unspeakable secrets hidden.

She can understand this look too much, just like herself, hasn't she had a time like this, it's just a secret that will be dug out and destroyed in the end.

Clean and leave nothing.

The so-called rules in Shen Jun's mouth are actually contests. In the words of Excalibur Villa, it is that martial arts is not high enough, even if you have a predestined relationship with the sword, you can't hold it when you get it in your hand.

Fighting is unprecedented for Chin Kaoru and Ling Zheng. The sword is very attractive to Ling Zheng, so he tells Chin Kaoru very firmly: "Master, I'm going to fight."

Chikaor did not speak but nodded.

She doesn't have any thoughts about everything in this world, she doesn't particularly like, and she doesn't particularly want to get it. It's good to have it, but it doesn't matter if you can't own it. Watching Ling Zheng hit the ring, Qian Xun sat in the distance with his pipa on his back. Compared with those old rivers and lakes, Ling Zheng did not lose in martial arts alone, but he was indeed lacking in experience, not to mention his eyes on that sword. There are so many people in, the wheel fight alone is enough to make Ling Zheng exhausted.

And Excalibur Villa never doesn't care how you compete, as long as the person who wins in the end is enough. It was strange that they were cold and cold about who the sword was given to them, because there were so many people, Chikaor sat in the corner, the lute on her back trembled slightly, she hugged it in her arms and gently stroked the upper one. Lines.

Pipa seemed to feel her gentle fingers, gradually becoming quieter from the contention, as if she had spirituality. Chin Kaoru plucked the strings lightly with her fingers. She could see that Ling Zheng was a little anxious. After all, he was a half-year-old boy. At this moment, he was facing an old senior who was well-known for his palm skills. I am afraid that I will be beaten down for a while.

Until the familiar sound of the pipa came, it was like when he was still in the valley, he was practicing martial arts in the valley, and the master sat on the tree and played the piano. The sound of the piano was melodious and gentle, soft and moving, which could calm all his restlessness from the depths of his heart. . Ling Zheng took a deep breath. To others, the sound of the pipa seemed ordinary, but to him it was a life-saving panacea. He closed his eyes and opened them again, and the anxiety and panic disappeared.

Qian Kaoru didn't go to the ring, and gently plucked the strings. She didn't usually play this tune, but if she wanted to smooth the pipa's restlessness, she would only have "Bone Sound".

This tune seems to be played out of flesh and blood. The tune is actually very simple, but it’s not what it feels like to hear in your ears. People who have never been hurt don’t understand the mystery, but for people like Chi Kaoru, this song The song is the key to all sorrow and suffering.

Everything, never past, still exists, whether it is the past or the present, it follows her soul like a shadow, until she swallows the last breath, and will never leave her.

There are too many things that she can't hold, can't keep, too many.

Even Ling Zheng was at a loss for a moment, and he didn't understand why Master suddenly played such a song. He and his master lived in the valley for ten years and seldom listened to her playing this, but today there is a lot of voice, but she suddenly plays it, and I don't know why. When I was about to ask, the person in front of him entangled him, Ling Zheng felt Qianxun in his heart, and was soothed by the sound of the piano. He shot very quickly, and kicked the old rivers and lakes that had entangled him for nearly an hour within ten strokes. , Leaped to Chikaor's side with one toe point, very worried: "Master."

Qian Xun did not stop playing the piano, but only smiled at Ling Zheng. At this time, two maidservants dressed in white walked up to her respectfully: "Girl, my lady would like to ask."

The sound of the pipa stopped abruptly, and Qianxun raised his eyebrows and asked, "Miss your family?"

"My lady heard the girl's pipa sound, and she felt something, so she asked me to come and ask the girl to go over." The handmaid on the left was blessed, and then said, "That sword belongs to the girl."

The heroes who were fighting and preparing to go up were stunned--wait, this is only a few hours from the beginning, and it will end before noon? It usually lasts at least seven or eight days!

Qian Kaoru shook his head and said, "Can I give away that sword?"

"Since it belongs to the girl, it will naturally be handled by the girl."

Qian Xun smiled and said to Ling Zheng: "It's got my wish."

Ling Zheng scratched his head, feeling a little too simple, almost at a loss.

In Excalibur Villa, no one dared to make trouble. The owner said that the sword belongs to whoever belongs to. But out of Excalibur Villa—...then each has its own ability. These little lovers are young, and they are first out of the arena, comparable to before. Those with Depot are much easier to deal with.

The treasure sword already has a master, and everyone is unwilling, and must leave the Excalibur Villa. It's just that if it's true and fake, then it's not known.

The two masters and apprentices did not expect that they could become a destined person without playing a ring or playing a pipa. They looked at each other and found it strange. After walking with the maid for a long time, at the gate of a courtyard, the maid saluted Ling Zheng: "This Please stay with me. My lady only sees a girl. Please let me go and rest somewhere else."

Ling Zheng refused: "I don't—"

"It's okay, you go." Qian Kaoru touched his head. The boy is already taller than her. She has to stand on tiptoe now.

Although Ling Zheng was unwilling in his heart, he listened to Qian Xun's words very much. He turned around one step at a time, and then the handmaid led Qian Xun into the yard.

The Excalibur Villa is solemn and solemn as a whole, but the courtyard is full of poetic and artistic flavor. In layman's terms, it is not the same style as the rest of Excalibur Villa.

With flowing water on the small bridge, rockery, winding paths, beautiful flowers blooming, almost as soon as he entered the yard, Qianxun saw the blue-clothed beauty who was playing chess with Shen Jun in the pavilion.

She smiled when she saw Chi Kaoru, "Is the girl the one who plays music?"

Qianxun met her, and then nodded with Shen Jun as saying hello, "Exactly."

"The girl's tune is really nice, and I feel that when I hear it, the girl is the destined person of the sword. Inviting the girl over is also the little girl's extravagant request. Dare to ask the girl if I can play the song again? My brother and I are both very much. I want to listen." After speaking, she remembered that she hadn't introduced herself, and said embarrassedly, "The little girl's surname is Shen, and her single name is a maid, dare to ask her name?"

"Chikaoru."

"The girl's pipa is so unique." Suddenly said solemnly.

Qianxun smiled slightly, "It's just a vulgar thing." Then, she picked up a white stone and fell. The chess game was reversed instantly. Shen Jun was taken aback. Shen Wu clapped and laughed, "The girl is amazing! My brother and I have been playing for so many years. Chess, but never beat him!"

Qian Kaoru didn't laugh, and sat on the stone bench, she held the Pipa in her arms and stroked it lightly. Shen Wu's smile gradually faded. From her point of view, it is better to say that the Qianxun girl is touching her lover rather than touching the pipa, with such eyes and expressions...

Obviously, the atmosphere was still brisk, but it changed when the first pipa sounded.

cold.

Depressed.

sad.

And the unspeakable barrenness, it seems that the whole person has been hollowed out, there is no soul and no heart, and the rest are all painful memories. Everyone is immersed in it. If you can't escape, I can't escape, entangled with each other, Torture each other. What's the point of being alive?

But you can't get rid of it when you die.

There seemed to be a boneless bone sitting in front of them, with a dark mouth open, telling its story.

Sound and silent, visible and invisible, you leave, you are liberated, you are reborn, but I will stay in the past forever.

"Stop playing."

Qian Kaoru's wrist was gripped by sternness, and his handsome face looked extremely pale at the moment. This song can evoke the most unbearable memory in people's hearts, and the most unknown secret.

Qian Xun stopped, Shen Wu Jiaorong turned white, but the reaction was completely opposite to Shen Jun: "I want to hear, can the girl continue?"

Thousand Kaoru broke away from the grave with a slight flip of her wrist. Her expression was indifferent, and the sound of the strings was deep and simple. It is hard to imagine that the pipa could also make such a sound. It is just the story of a thousand years contained in it, and how can mortals be able to Acceptable.

In the end, Qianxun didn't finish the song, because if she continued, Shen Wu and Shen Jun should collapse.

The voice of the bones is full of negative sorrow and pain. People who hear this song will forget happiness. Only the ghost who has experienced thousands of trials in Wangchuan can rely on it to live, and let themselves remember certain things through such pain.

Shen Wu was the first to get up. She almost escaped. She sat sternly on the spot, clenching her fists with both hands to barely control her collapse, and said to Qian Kaoru: "Please stay in the village for a few more days, my sister, she... I haven’t been with people for many years, and I don’t have friends. I still hope the girl—"

"I see." Chikaor interrupted him, eyes falling down. "I will stay."
