Soul of the Sword and Heart of the Qin: Hand in hand with the rivers and lakes

In the room, Baili Tusu was fiddling with the things on the table, but it turned out to be a qin. The body of the qin was made of high-quality sycamore wood. It was varnished, in a dark red colour.However, Baili Tusu used Tianshan ice silk for the strings, and he is now tuning them.It's not that he doesn't know the rhythm, he's just not proficient in it.

After finishing everything, Baili Tusu looked at the qin on the table and always felt that something was missing. He stared at the qin for a long time before he took out something from his arms, which was a piece of jade. It was the piece given to Ouyang Shaogong back then.

He hung the jade pendant on the qin, wrapped the qin with cloth, and took it out the door.

Ouyang Shaogong and Fang Lansheng were teasing the little fox in Xiangling. The smile on his face was so real, but he hadn’t smiled at himself for a long time, and he felt very uncomfortable. Baili Tusu hugged the qin quietly Walking to the side of the two, he suddenly said: "Shao Gong"

Fang Lansheng jumped up and shouted: "Wow! Wooden face, you are a cat! You don't make any sound when you walk."

Seeing this, Ouyang Shaogong said: "Xiaolan, you should change your temperament. If you can't get married in the future, it will be miserable."

After Fang Lansheng heard this, he said angrily: "Hmph! Shaogong, why are you helping Wooden Face to bully me? I, I ignore you." After speaking, he ran away alone with the fox in his arms.

Regarding Fang Lansheng's childlike nature, Ouyang Shaogong could only shake his head and sigh.

"Lan Sheng, is he alright?" Baili Tusu said as he watched Fang Lansheng leave.

Ouyang Shaogong said: "It's okay, he will be fine in a while."

Baili Tusu let out an "oh", then fell silent again.The two looked at each other silently.

Ouyang Shaogong coughed dryly, shifted his gaze to Baili Tusu's hand, and said, "What are you holding?"

Baili Tusu put the things in front of Ouyang Shaogong, and Ouyang Shaogong took apart the cloth, the top-quality paulownia wood, the dark red body, lifelike carvings, the strings as thin as hair, and the one at the end A hanging ornament of the Chongming Bird.Ouyang Shaogong raised his lips, and couldn't help stroking the strings of the piano, and the melodious sound of the piano leaked from his fingers.What he played was a song called "Yu Shan".

Baili Tusu was fascinated, it was this kind of feeling, when he first met Ouyang Shaogong, it was this gentle and refined feeling, which made people feel like a spring breeze.

At the end of the song, Baili Tusu was still immersed in the sound of the piano just now.He didn't come back to himself until Ouyang Shaogong called him.

"What do young heroes think of this song?" Ouyang Shaogong asked.

"This song is very good." Baili Tusu couldn't find any words to describe it, because he felt that Ouyang Shaogong's piano and music were masterpieces rarely seen in time.

Ouyang Shaogong smiled and said: "This piano is very good, I accept it."

Hearing what Ouyang Shaogong said, Baili Tusu couldn't mention how happy he was. He said, "As long as you like it, this piano doesn't have a name yet. Shaogong, please give me one."

Ouyang Shaogong thought for a while and said: "Since it is made of sycamore wood, let's call it 'Fengqi', which means Fengqi sycamore."

Baili Tusu said: "What Shaogong thinks is naturally good." As long as he is happy, Baili Tusu feels at ease.

It has been more than half a month since the last time I gave the piano, these few days, Baili Tusu always dreamed, he always dreamed of his mother, but his mother never talked to him.

Because of the dream, Baili Tusu always had dark circles under his eyes during the day.

"Mom!" Isn't it?He was woken up again by fright. This time, he dreamed that when he was a child, he played in Wumengling Valley carefree and happy.Suddenly, his mother disappeared.Then he woke up.

He couldn't sleep now, Baili Tusu got up and sat on the bed, he missed his mother a little bit.After sitting for a while, he got up and walked to the sword rack beside him. On the rack was the Fen Ji that had been broken in two.

He took off Fenji and put it in his hand, then walked back to the bed and sat down. Naturally, he was heartbroken when Fenji was broken. It was the only thing his mother left him, and he blamed himself for being useless , couldn't even hold a sword, that's why his mother didn't appear in the dream until now, and she didn't say a word to him.He felt that his mother must be blaming him.

Unknowingly, Baili Tusu cried while holding Fen Ji...Mother!Tu Su is useless, mother, I'm sorry...

"Baili Shaoxia hasn't looked very good these days, is something on your mind?" In the gazebo, Ouyang Shaogong drank tea, looked at Baili Tusu in front of him, his face was a bit haggard, and his spirit was not very good.Unconsciously a little worried.

"I, it's nothing." Baili Tusu said perfunctorily.He thought to himself: Ever since he gave Shao Gong the piano last time, he started calling himself Shao Xia again.

Ouyang Shaogong said: "Young hero Baili is not good at lying, so it's better not to say anything, your concern, Fen Ji on your back!" As early as a few days ago, Ouyang Shaogong found out that Baili Tusu was wrong. Seeing that he was carrying Fen Ji with him, something must have happened.

"I dreamed about my mother." Baili Tusu said.

Ouyang Shaogong listened quietly, and Baili Tusu said again: "She is blaming me, blaming me for not keeping Fenji well. This is the only thing she gave me, and I let it break."

Ouyang Shaogong didn't expect that this was the reason. Fenji's break was all due to his own reasons. Baili Tusu didn't blame himself, but also suffered from him.It's just that the current self can't be soft-hearted to him.Fenji is ended, it can be continued.

After thinking it over, Ouyang Shaogong said: "Young man, if I say that Fen Ji can continue, would you be willing?"

"Shao Gong, do you have a solution?" If you can connect the broken Fen Ji, that would be great.

Ouyang Shaogong said: "In ancient times, the Longyuan family was proficient in the art of casting swords. They have a treasure handed down from generation to generation called Huoyan Black Iron, which can continue all weapons in the world, and there is absolutely no trace of it. , the power of the weapon is still the same as before."

Baili Tusu was surprised, and said, "There are such foreigners in the world?"

Ouyang Shaogong said again: "They are not foreigners. The Longyuan people are famous for forging swords. Now they have merged with us."

"Then where can we find their descendants?"

Ouyang Shaogong said: "There are two people in Jianghu who know their existence, and only one person who knows where they are."

Baili Tusu understood, and said, "You mean Mr. Know everything?"

"No, that person is me, a descendant of the Longyuan clan, who lives in Yuncheng now." Ouyang Shaogong said.

After hearing this, Baili Tusu said, "Yuncheng is a long way from this road, and I'm afraid we won't be able to reach it in ten days and half a month."

"I want to see the scenery of mountains and rivers in the world. I wonder if Baili Shaoxia is willing to accompany you?" Ouyang Shaogong said, since the journey is far away, why not do it if you want to visit the mountains and rivers.

"Yes!" Baili Tusu blurted out without thinking.

The two decided in this way, and on the day of their departure, Lingyue gave Baili Tusu a Scarlet Heaven Sword to him. Because he considered that Fenji could no longer be used, Lingyue gave him the sword.When leaving, Ouyang Shaogong didn't intend to take the little fox with him, but the little fox just clung to Ouyang Shaogong's trousers, so he had no choice but to take it with him in the end.Fang Lansheng originally wanted to follow, but was called back by a letter from his second sister Fang Ruqin, and the two set off like this.
