Mirroring the changes

Ji Xu heard this and smiled: "Hahaha, Master Li Chen is right!"

"I am impatient, I am impatient~"

After saying this, he stroked the Prison Ox Cauldron, and the enthusiasm in his eyes became more intense.

Li Chen thought to himself, and seeing that the time was ripe, he pretended to listen and approached the cauldron.

After a moment, he said: "It is as majestic as Mount Tai."

"It is as vast as rivers~"

Ji Xu heard this and his eyes suddenly lit up: "It is "High Mountains and Flowing Water", "High Mountains and Flowing Water"!"

"It is as majestic as Mount Tai."

"It is as vast as rivers~"

"Bo Ya and Zi Qi, it is hard to find a soulmate!"

While speaking, Ji Xu had already summoned the guqin, eager to try.

Li Chen sighed lightly: "To play this song, you must find peace in the midst of movement, by the water."

"Find peace in the midst of movement, by the water?"

Ji Xu instantly thought of the pool in the center of Huanhua Tower.

"Hahaha, very good, very good."

In Ji Xu's heart, this arrangement is God's will.

But Li Chen sneered in his heart.

Zhuge Wei had revealed the word "water" to him before.

Nine times out of ten, it refers to the large pool in the middle of Huanhua Tower.

But if you want to get close to the pool, you must first pass through the barrier in the middle.

So Li Chen deliberately went to great lengths to guide Ji Xu with music.

Sure enough, Ji Xu was overjoyed and asked Cao Chengmu to remove the barrier directly.

After a little hesitation, Cao Chengmu could only ask Huanhua Tower to remove the barrier.

The monks only felt a flash before their eyes.

The barrier that originally covered the middle had disappeared.

Ji Xu put away the Prison Ox Cauldron and took the lead, and went directly to the side of the pool.

"Take stillness in the midst of movement, by the water."

"There is no place more suitable than here!"

Ji Xu was in a good mood. After a light laugh, he directly hugged the guqin and sat cross-legged.

Ding Dong~

The slender fingertips passed, the strings vibrated, and the faint sound echoed. The Huanhua Tower, which was extremely noisy in the past, now looked like a child discovering a new world.

It sat quietly beside the pool, transformed into an obsessed bystander.

Ji Xu devoted himself to the guqin in front of him, with a calm expression, as if he had changed into a different person.

Once upon a time, he was still a carefree child.

Since he came to this world, he has never seen his mother.

The palace maids said that his mother was banished to the cold palace.

What is the cold palace?

Is it a very cold palace?

When Ji Xu was a child, he was troubled by this question for a long time.

Therefore, his mother was a stranger to him.

Of course, his father was also.

A little better than a stranger, barely a passerby.

In short, they were far inferior to the palace maid Caihe beside him.

Caihe had been taking care of Ji Xu since he was born.

So Ji Xu had a special dependence on her.

In my memory, Caihe always combed her hair into two round buns and wrapped them with two rose-red ribbons.

Whenever she ran, the ribbons on her buns would dance lightly behind her.

That was probably the most beautiful memory of Ji Xu's childhood.

Caihe liked music, and she often hid behind the stone pillars to secretly listen to Luo Fei playing the piano.

Sometimes she couldn't help but make the action of plucking the strings in the air.

Ji Xu thought it was very funny.

But unknowingly, he also fell in love with music.

When he grew up, he started to go to elementary school in the palace. (The Book of Zhou states: "At the age of eight, he entered elementary school, and Baoshi taught the national students, starting with the Six Classics.")

He didn't care much about the Six Classics, but he had a special liking for music.

Whenever he learned a new piano score, he would return to his residence and teach it to Caihe.

"High Mountains and Flowing Water", "Wild Geese Falling on the Plain Sand", "Guangling San", "Three Variations on Plum Blossoms"...

He never got tired of it, and he enjoyed everything.

During that time, Ji Xu was like living in a dream.

Happiness and satisfaction.

However, dreams always have to wake up.

That day, the weather was fine.

He and Caihe played the piano together as usual.

The heart is connected, high mountains and flowing water .

An inexplicable feeling filled Ji Xu's heart.

The sound of the piano made the desolate courtyard more lively.

But... there was a passerby at the door of the courtyard.

On this day, the emperor, who had not visited Ji Xu for a long time, suddenly appeared in the courtyard.

The sun fell on Cai He's body, and a faint divine light was cast.

Lively, smart, and beautiful.

Stunning.

Father and son are always very similar, including aesthetics.

So the next day, Cai He was taken away by the eunuchs in the palace.

Ji Xu didn't want her to leave, and wanted her to stay by his side and play the piano.

But Cai He said: "It is difficult to defy fate. "

Is it hard to defy fate?

The young Ji Xu finally had a third concern - 'fate'.

The first two were 'cold palace' and 'confidant'.

From that day on, the sound of the zither never rang out in the courtyard again.

Later, I heard from the new palace maid that 'Caihe' changed her name to 'Fei'.

She became the woman of 'fate'.

At that moment, something seemed to break in Ji Xu's heart.

Was it the string of 'confidant'?

Ji Xu didn't know.

He only knew that a seed called 'fate' was planted in his heart.

...

In Huanhua Tower, Ji Xu was concentrating on playing the guqin.

He seemed to have merged with the guqin in front of him, and his whole body exuded an inexplicable aura.

Li Chen finally understood why Ji Xu said that he had become refreshed before.

It turned out that it was not because of the Prison Ox Cauldron, but because of the ordinary guqin in his arms.

Perhaps he himself did not realize it.

The priceless Prison Ox Cauldron was actually not as important as the guqin.

The sound of the guqin was so lingering that even the surrounding Yueying Guards were intoxicated by it.

But Li Chen did not want to continue to appreciate it, and instead came to the side of the Prison Ox Cauldron.

The Yueying Guards glanced at him, but did not doubt it.

Seeing this, Li Chen put his hands together, and the monks understood and began to approach the pool.

Finally, the monks saw Li Chen nod, and immediately ran towards the pool at the same time!

Plop! Plop!

At this time, Yueying Guards reacted: "Dark Curse!"

"Freeze!"

The little monk Yinghui, who was walking at the end, was a step slower after all.

When he was frozen by the 'dark curse', he was still half a step away from the pool.

Seeing this, Li Chen kicked him into the water with a flying kick.

But he heard a voice: "Stop!"

With just one word, Li Chen felt as if he was shrouded by a shadow.

The muscles all over his body seemed to be frozen, unable to move at all.

Fortunately, the true energy in his body was not affected, and he secretly practiced the formula of "Inviting the Moon to the Sky".

The next moment, Li Chen was delighted.

It really worked.

Seeing that he was still trying to break free, Cao Chengmu couldn't help laughing: "You are overestimating yourself!"

"No one can break free from the 'dark curse' of my Yueying City!"

Before he finished speaking, the figure in front of him suddenly disappeared.

When Li Chen appeared again, he was already standing next to the Prison Ox Cauldron.

Cao Chengmu was shocked and reacted this time.

Li Chen smiled, without giving the other party any time, and directly picked up the 'Prison Ox Cauldron' and jumped into the pool.

"Bang!"

At this time, a harsh sound of the piano suddenly rang out.

It was Ji Xu who finally woke up from the piano sound.

"How dare you!"

He threw away the guqin and turned into a lightning bolt to attack Li Chen.

Finally... he chose 'fate'.
