cloud farewell cloud smoke

Chapter 7 to Jiangdu

Ding Yin stood in front of the Palace of Jueqing, with the entire Changliu under his feet, surrounded by clouds and mist, sunset clouds and flying waterfalls, it was too beautiful to behold.This beautiful scenery, ordinary people must be amazed when they see it, but Ding Yin is not in the mood to appreciate it.His gaze fell on an open space below, where disciples were constantly gathering, it seems that something happened?But not long after, those disciples entered the hall together.

Ding Yin withdrew his gaze and stopped paying attention.Footsteps came from behind, and Ding Yin knew who it was without turning his head. "Eldest brother." "Junior brother." Bai Zihua stepped forward and stood beside Ding Yin, "What are you thinking?" Shao Gong has been away for three years, and during these three years, Bai Zihua watched this junior become more and more Mature, more and more stable, but also more and more silent.

"It's nothing." Ding Yin looked into the distance, his eyes fell on an unknown distance, the corner of his mouth suddenly raised, showing a gentle smile, "Brother, if one day I leave Changliu, please take good care of Master for me. "

Bai Zihua frowned, "You want to leave too?"

Ding Yin lowered his head and was thinking about what to say, when he saw the teleportation array flickering over there, and a white-haired elder rushed towards them, it turned out to be Elder Qingxu.The two stepped forward, before they had time to salute, they heard Elder Qingxu say: "You two, hurry up and ask the sect master brother to come out, I have something important to report."

Ding Yin nodded, knowing that the matter was urgent, he turned around and went back to the hall to find the head teacher, Qing Xu followed the head teacher into the hall, not long after, there was a bell ringing in the hall, calling the rest of the elders.Ding Yin and Bai Zihua glanced at each other and walked into the hall.The teacher saw them coming in, and said: "Zi Hua, Ding Yin, you came at a good time, I have something to entrust to you."

At this time, the other elders also rushed over and asked what happened. Elder Qingxu stood up and explained the cause and effect of the matter.It turned out that ten days ago, he received a letter saying that there were monsters in Jiangdu that harmed people, and he asked Changliu to send his disciples down the mountain to eliminate the monsters.This was an ordinary thing, but Qingxu was just as usual, after informing the head of the matter, he sent more than a dozen disciples to Jiangdu.Unexpectedly, just a few days ago, these disciples cut off the news, and just now, one of those disciples returned to Changliu.

"That disciple was seriously injured, before he could finish his sentence, he was already... alas." Having said this, Elder Qing Xu couldn't help but sighed and shook his head, with a look of grief on his face, and everyone felt heavy in their hearts.

"Master Qingxu, what did that disciple say?" After a while, Bai Zihua asked.

Qingxu sighed again, Fang said: "I only said two words: Huamanlou, and..." He looked at Ding Yin, and finished the rest of the sentence, "Ding Yin."

"Me?" Ding Yin was stunned, pointing his finger at himself without knowing why.

"That's right." Qingxu nodded, "It's your name."

Now not only Ding Yin, but everyone else also looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one spoke for a moment.After a while, the head teacher spoke, breaking the silence in the hall. "Zi Hua, what do you think about this matter?"

Bai Zihua stepped forward and said seriously: "I would like to report to Master, let alone human beings, Junior Brother Ding has been in the hall these few days, I have seen it with my own eyes, so it should have nothing to do with this matter. But this matter is indeed strange, why don't we just let it go?" Junior brother Ding and I took people down the mountain to find out about this matter."

"If this matter is really related to him, wouldn't it be dangerous for you to go down the mountain with him? I think it's better for Ding Yin to stay on the mountain until this matter is clarified." An elder objected.

"Elder Discipline thinks that I colluded with monsters and killed my fellow disciples?" Ding Yin asked coldly.

Hearing Ding Yin's words, the precept elders didn't intend to give in. "The red soul stone is extremely demonic and hostile. If you fuse with the red soul stone and be affected by it, no one can guarantee what you will do." Speaking of this, the elder commandment couldn't help being dissatisfied, "Three I said years ago that the demonic nature of the red soul stone on this kid should be sealed, but if you didn’t listen, something happened now.”

"Elder Discipline." Bai Zihua said, his face unchanged, but his tone was slightly colder, "There is no evidence to prove that this matter is related to Junior Brother Ding, even the disciple who came back did not say so, please ask Elders, don’t make judgments.”

"I'm afraid I haven't had time to say it yet." The precept elder retorted displeased.

"Okay." The head teacher said, "This matter is just as Zi Hua said, there is no evidence, not to mention that Ding Yin was in the palace these few days, and I saw it with my own eyes."

Bai Zihua always judges impartially, just now after hearing what he said, many elders have already begun to believe that Ding Yin has nothing to do with this matter, and now they heard the head teacher say so, they didn't say any more.Even the precept elders were the same, they just glanced at Ding Yin, seeing that Ding Yin lowered his head and did not speak, he ignored him.

"Zi Hua, Ding Yin, you two should immediately lead your disciples down the mountain to find out about this matter." "Yes! Master." Bai Zihua and Ding Yin replied in unison.After speaking, the two retired, gathered all the disciples, packed up their things and prepared to go.A group of people set off towards the mountain gate. For safety, each hall in Changliu has barriers, so they cannot directly control their swords.

On the way, he met the elder of precepts, and all the disciples saluted him, and he nodded calmly.When Ding Yin walked past him, he tilted his head to look at Ding Yin, and Ding Yin looked back coldly.There was a "thump" in his heart, and he had a faint feeling that something was wrong, so he hurriedly turned to look, only to see that the pedestrian had already walked out of the mountain gate and left with his sword.

Bai Zihua and the others flew with their swords, and within half a day, they arrived at Jiangdu, which is thousands of miles away.Jiangdu is bustling and bustling, there are many pedestrians on the street, and people come and go along the way, which is very lively.There were 15 of them in a group, and they were wearing the uniform costumes of long-term disciples. Standing in the middle of the street, they were very eye-catching.

Seeing the crowd coming all the way, Bai Zihua looked a little tired, and it was getting late, so he decided to find a place to rest first.They found an inn and took a rest two by two. It happened that one person was missing. Everyone knew Bai Zihua's character and identity, so they naturally let him have a room alone.

At this time, the lights were just on, and Ding Yin didn't feel sleepy, so he went back to his room and changed into his daily clothes before going out.After opening the door, Bai Zihua came out from the opposite room. "Eldest brother." Ding Yin greeted and asked, "Where is elder brother going?"

Bai Zihua glanced at him, then closed the door behind him, "The building is full of flowers."

"It seems that senior brother and I have the same thoughts." Ding Yin nodded, closed the door, and walked forward with Bai Zihua.

The two went downstairs and came to the street. Since they didn't know the way, they had to ask passers-by. "Madam, please excuse me." Bai Zihua stopped an old lady and asked, "Excuse me, how can I get to Huamanlou?"

The aunt looked Bai Zihua up and down with complicated eyes, her expression looked a little weird, Bai Zihua was puzzled, and was about to ask again, but the aunt shook her head and walked away. "Hey, someone who dresses elegantly, but thinks about this kind of thing all the time, really knows people, faces, but doesn't know the heart."

Bai Zihua showed a little confusion rarely, and turned his head to look at Ding Yin, who was also in the fog and didn't understand what happened.The two asked a few more passers-by, but their reactions were similar to that of the aunt. Fortunately, they finally knew the way.

When they came to the entrance of Huamanlou, they finally understood why the passers-by reacted. Huamanlou is actually a flower building!Bai Zihua and Ding Yin stood at the door, seeing many people trying to squeeze in, but they were blocked by the door guards.

"Sorry everyone." A manager stood up from the guards and bowed his hands to those who were blocked outside. "Tonight's quota is full, please come back tomorrow."

When everyone heard this, they all returned disappointed, but there were also one or two who were unwilling to let it go. "Master, I didn't have a seat when I came yesterday, and I still don't have a seat when I come today. When will I have to wait?" a young man in blue yelled.People echoed one after another, hoping to get a chance to go in.

"My lord, I'm really sorry, the building is already full and there's no room for it, so I can only ask you to come early tomorrow." The steward had a smile on his face, and after he finished speaking, he bowed to everyone.The so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling face, the young man in the blue shirt saw him like this, and he couldn't get angry again, so he had to leave angrily.Seeing that there was no hope, everyone began to disperse.

Bai Zihua and Ding Yin didn't hesitate much, they cast an invisibility spell and slipped in from under the guard's nose.It wasn't until the two of them entered the door that the spell was withdrawn and they began to look around.The person in charge was right, the Huaman Building was already full of people, and there was a pavilion in the center of the hall, which was covered with veils, making it impossible to see clearly what was going on inside.Ding Yin and Bai Zihua searched the hall for a while before finding a seat to sit down.

As soon as the two of them sat down, they heard a tall and thin man next to him say triumphantly to the person next to him: "You are blessed to follow me. Tonight, I will let you listen to what is called the sound of nature."

The handsome young man who looked like a scholar smiled and said: "I have an appointment with Miss Liu from Hongxiufang tonight to listen to the song. I hope this person is really like what Brother Li said. Don't let us down." Everyone agreed.

The thin and tall man quickly patted his chest and said, "Mr. Su, don't worry, Mr. Dongfang's piano music is three points better than Miss Liu's, no, ten points!"

When Su Gongzi heard this, he showed displeasure, he is a Qin lover, he always admired Miss Liu's piano skills, but now he was demoted to such a level, he felt unhappy, he snorted coldly, and remained silent.Seeing his expression, the tall and thin man knew that he had talked too much, so he just sat aside resentfully, not daring to say more.

Ding Yin didn't take it seriously when he heard this.In this world, when it comes to piano art, who can compare to Shao Gong?Shao Gong... Where is he now?doing what?Has the obsession in his heart eased a little?Will he think of him a little like he misses him?

At this time, Ding Yin noticed that the crowd around him started to make noise, he raised his head and looked towards the pavilion.I saw a person walking into the pavilion from the back of the pavilion with a piano in his arms, because through the veil, Ding Yin couldn't see the person's face clearly, but felt that his figure was somewhat familiar.

The man put the piano in place, bowed his hands to everyone, then sat down and lit incense.Everyone was quiet at this moment, staring intently at the movements of the person on the stage.

After the man lit the incense, he put his fingers on the strings of the zither.The clear and joyful sound of the piano flows out from behind the veil and flows into the ears of everyone.Ding Yin was startled when he heard the sound, and couldn't help clenching his fingers, staring fixedly at the figure on the stage.

He is very familiar with this song, it is "The Last Rhythm of the Mountain"!
