lotus shadow

As the night fell and the lights first came on, Meixiangwu was already full of guests, who were drinking wine, laughing and talking, accompanied by beauties like flowers, outlining a beautiful scene.

Ziyan came out from the backyard to greet the guests, and said with a coquettish smile, "Master hasn't been here for a long time, why are you suddenly so leisurely today?"

"You don't know, Xi Jianliu was a disaster for the Central Plains a while ago. I was so busy stopping them that I didn't even have time to go back home. I finally came over today when I was free. By the way, I brought my friend to see it." The guest didn't notice The trap in Ziyan's words blurted out the current situation in the Central Plains drunkenly.

"Oh!" Ziyan praised the guest with a look of admiration and admiration, "Master is really doing his best for the martial arts, and this master must be the same. I thank you two for all the sisters. Tonight's performance will be coming soon. It's started, please enjoy it." After finishing speaking, he went to entertain elsewhere.

And the guest's friend watched Ziyan leave, and couldn't help smacking his lips, "I've heard that the girls in Meixiangwu are all beauties, and they really deserve their reputation!"

The guest asked with an expression of someone who came here: "This is your first time here, do you know what is the most famous thing here?"

His friend scratched his head and looked at him strangely, "Isn't it just beautiful women like clouds?"

The guest knew that he didn't understand when he heard his friend say this, so he slowly told the difference of Meixiangwu, "Which brothel is not like this, the most famous ones in Meixiangwu are two The signature artistes, one is a singer called Ling Qiulu, her performance will take away people's souls."

"It's impossible to sing a song to hook people's souls, you are too outrageous." He pushed his friend away, shook his head, completely disbelieving what his friend said, and then asked: "Then—— What about the other one?"

"The other one is Qin Ji called Ling Xiaoyue. Her performance can also hook people's souls away, but what makes her most famous is not her piano sound, but the book she wrote. The content in the book is rich and novel. , covers a wide range of topics, and the subject matter is so strange and fascinating that people can't help but appreciate the wonderful stories of the world in the book." Thinking of the contents of those strategies, he really couldn't help but praise in his heart!

His friend was aroused by him, but he was puzzled, "Oh? What kind of book? Since it is so fascinating, why haven't I seen it in the market?"

"Her pen name is Chiba Legend, and she has published books such as "Alien Degree", "Yilian Tuo Shengpin", "The History of the Holy Demon Yuan", "Seven Dragon Slaying Laws", "The Pure Love Swordsman", "The Monster President Forcing me to marry" and so on, her books can only be read in Meixiangwu, unless she personally presents them, no one can take the book out of Meixiangwu, many guests come to Meixiangwu to consume her new books .”

He still looked suspicious when he saw his friend, and patted his shoulder, "I didn't lie to you, you can see for yourself, besides, there is also a famous proprietress here, Lian Hongmei. , she is not only beautiful, but also has her own personality." Speaking of Lian Hongmei, the guest had a strange expression.

The friend's strange expression aroused his curiosity, "Oh, what kind of character is it?"

Just when this guest was puzzled, a guest on the side forcibly molested Liu Xia, the maid of Meixiangwu, which made the proprietress Lian Hongmei come forward to mediate, but the guest did not change his mind, and under Lian Hongmei's persuasion, he changed his mind. It got worse, and Lian Hongmei couldn't help but kicked the guest away. At the same time, she abandoned her image of a lady and yelled, "What about your mother, she told you not to want it, but you just insisted on it, and said it would hurt you. Listen, there is too much money to spend on medical expenses, if your grandmother doesn’t send you to the hospital for a few days, she’s just sorry for my son and your father!”

This behavior caused all the guests to stare blankly at Lian Hongmei. Lian Hongmei felt everyone's gaze, smoothed her sleeves, and patted her chest lightly, "Oh, I lost my composure, I'm disturbing everyone's mood, please don't Mind. The next performance is the much-anticipated and eye-catching singer—Ling Qiulu, who will sing for us live.”

As soon as Lian Hongmei's words fell, the lights in Meixiangwu suddenly went out, and at the same time the music started, listening to the autumn dew appeared behind the gauze curtain, holding the pipa in her hand, singing while playing, "Floating brocade clothes, the pipa half covers the head and face .

Gently playing with Tongsi, the singing still tinges with sighs.

In the Cangcang Lake, the shadows are facing each other, and the canoe goes back and forth.

The faint westerly wind drinks the autumn dew, and the night hits the sun.

Under the gauze curtain and under the moon, the knife and the piano depend on each other, and there is a lingering song.

Hide the wind and rain, and hide the gentle and beautiful shadow.

Sell ​​the strings and express your heart with a smile, and wave your blade as a gesture of friendship.

Hate who is a daughter again, buried the spring.

Fluttering brocade robes..."

The singing is light and graceful, and the dancing is graceful. Everyone seems to have forgotten to breathe. They can only focus on every movement in front of them and listen to every note in their ears.

The song of listening to the autumn dew is still echoing in Meixiangwu, "...the canoe comes and goes. The faint west wind drinks the autumn dew, and when the night hits the sun."

The song was over, and there was neither cheers nor applause in the hall, only tranced silence shrouded it.Lianhongmei broke the silence by flicking the wine glass with splashes of water.

Immediately, the applause in Meixiangwu continued.

"Yeah, ok! Great performance!"

"Praise la praise la praise!"

"It turned out that there were really soul-shattering performances."

"That's right, I didn't lie to you at all."

His friend said obsessively: "This Lingqiulu, with such a beautiful singing voice, must also be a peerless beauty. If I can see her face with my own eyes, even if I want to give her all my family property, I am willing to give it to her." .”

The guest patted his friend on the shoulder, "Don't think about it, she just stays behind the curtain every time she performs, she doesn't even say a word, no one has ever seen her true face, You'd better give up, come, come, have a drink. Waiting for Xiao Lingyue's performance will be even more exciting!"

The ghost doctor sitting in the corner took a sip from the wine cup on the table, and praised softly, "It's still a performance of the same standard."

At this moment, Lian Hongmei's charming voice sounded again in the hall, "The next performance is what everyone is looking forward to. Qin Ji——Ling Xiaoyue, will play for us."

I saw the curtains on the stage drawn up, a red dress, black sleeves with black patterns, sitting on the floor, a woman lowered her eyes, but covered her face with a white gauze, three thousand blue silks were scattered behind her, quietly in the world she created Among them, the jade hand lightly picks the silver strings of the boat piano, and dances with the strings with both hands like flowing clouds and flowing water.

The night wind gently blows into Meixiangwu, and the sound of the piano floats in the hall. The sound is turbulent, with the feeling of echoes of water ripples. There was a sudden sound, raising the voice for an instant to stimulate the deepest dream in my heart.

Suddenly I heard the thin lips of the person playing the qin slightly opened, "When the letter of flowers came, I hated no one like the flowers, and became thin again in spring, breaking the willows in front of the door. The sky is full of love, not with the long. After the separation, the tears and tears Wine occupies the double sleeves. When the geese go away, the wind is not as good as the sky, and the rocks are rotten and haggard. The shore is singing, the rain is dripping, and the time is not clear. Looking forward to a long gathering, the wind and rain invade, and the beauty turns white temples."

As soon as the voice fell, the sound of the piano changed again, and the strings echoed in Meixiangwu. The melody was like laughing and weeping, as if expressing the heart, five or six strings for joy, and five or six strings for sadness.

The sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and the hall was as silent as before. In the silence, there was a sudden sound in the air, like water dripping into the ocean, which woke everyone up.

"The performance is good enough!"

"It really sounds good enough!"

The doctor of the underworld put down the wine cup in his hand, lowered his eyes, and hid the complicated emotions in his expression. He raised his eyes and glanced at the back of Ling Xiaoyue who was leaving, and said in his heart: "This woman is not simple. '

Just when the doctor of the underworld put down his money and was about to leave, Ziyan stopped him suddenly, "Sir, Miss Ling will give you these two books." As she spoke, she handed over the "Alien Degree" and "Yilian Tuoshengpin" to her. To the doctor of the underworld.

"This..." The doctor of the underworld looked at Ziyan suspiciously.

Ziyan chuckled lightly, "The girl said, the book is a gift for someone who is destined, it's okay for the husband to take it." After speaking, she walked away with light lotus steps.

The underworld doctor was left alone staring at the book in his hand with a gloomy expression.

The author has something to say:

Let me briefly explain here that Xiaoyue appeared in Meixiangwu two years ago after Susu returned to the Central Plains, and has written many books in the past two years.

(ps: Ling Xiaoyue is involved in the plot of Meixiangwu afterward.)

"Alien" is collectively called "Overview of the Alien Demon World", and its content is an overview of the history before the exchange between the Alien Demon World and the misery.

"Yi Lian Tuo Sheng Pin" is one of the books included in the God of War chapter in the "Alien" series (after all, Su Zhenzhen cannot be written in it, otherwise a wise man like Mo Cangli will be suspicious when he sees it.)
