[Onmyoji] Deep Sea Girl

"This... that... uh... is that all you want?" Qiong Lang came back to his senses, alarm bells were ringing in his heart, and he almost bit his own tongue, "Don't you want something else?"

"Ah, no." The demon luthier shook his head resolutely, "I only have this one wish, which is why I came to Raksha Sea from afar, and I have nothing else to ask for."

Hearing the Yaoqin Master's answer, Qiong Lang was under a lot of pressure. She didn't agree immediately, but forced a smile, "You signed a contract for 50 years, and you only made such a small request? It's unavoidable to say that. Make me feel sorry, or you can think about it... I can find whatever you want for you."

The demon luthier's face softened a lot due to being touched, and his indifferent and lofty appearance revealed a different kind of softness, and said in a gentle voice: "Thank you, Mr. Qiong Lang, for your kindness. Maybe this is incomprehensible to others. But it means a lot to me.”

Speaking of this, he seemed to have thought of something, and chuckled lightly, "If Master Qiong Lang still feels that he has treated me badly, then I will write new lyrics and music in the future, and Sir, I can give you some pointers."

The corner of Qiong Lang's mouth twitched, wishing he could take back every single word he said just now, and secretly cast a look of begging for help at Big Tengu.

Da Tiangu was secretly jealous of the demon luthier's attitude and eyes towards Qiong Lang, but after hearing the demon luthier's words, he couldn't help but suppress his laughter.

Seeing that he turned his head away and tried his best to hold back his smile without noticing his eyes, Qiong Lang gritted his teeth in his heart and chopped him apart, then smiled at the demon luthier with his usual expression.

"I often hear people say that the voice of adults is incomparable, but I haven't heard the singing of adults in Luochahai for so long, and today I finally got my wish."

However, the demon luthier didn't know that even though the monsters in the sea regarded Qiong Lang's singing as the sound of nature, they never tacitly mentioned the matter of her being out of tune.

At this moment, Qiong Lang's surface is calm, but her heart is full of turmoil. If she had known that the demon luthier came with this idea, she would not have easily agreed to his request.

She was really afraid that a single opening would disillusion the dream of the demon luthier, and then she would think that she had been deceived, break the contract, throw the piano and leave.

After a long delay in agreeing, the hope and anticipation in Yaoqin Master's eyes became more and more obvious, Qiong Lang had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask: "What... I want to ask about the contract between you and Hai Yu, you will promise that no matter what happens, Will everything stay in Rakshahai?"

"Of course." The demon luthier said seriously, "I have signed a 50-year contract with Luochahai, and I swear by my demon power that no matter what happens, I will abide by the agreement and stay in Luochahai until the deadline."

Hearing the Yaoqin master's oath, Qiong Lang breathed a sigh of relief.As long as the demon luthier won't run away, then it's easy to talk about anything. As for saving face, why not if she fights it out?

"Okay, I promise you."

Hearing this, the demon luthier's eyes erupted with astonishing joy, and hastily put down the lyre behind his back to tune the strings, his hands trembling slightly because of the excitement.

"This is a song and lyrics written by me. I haven't named it yet. I hope to get some inspiration from the adult's singing. I will play the piano for the adult first, and then you and I will sing together. How about it?"

After the demon luthier handed the sheet music to Qiong Lang, without waiting for her to respond, he began to play the piano on his own, and soon became intoxicated by his melodious sound.

However, Qiong Lang didn't care to appreciate his piano sound, and glanced over the paper hastily, there were some simple words on it, obviously it was a simple song praising the sea, the whole piece was peaceful and gentle.

Monsters with profound demonic power generally have an extraordinary memory. The demon luthier only played it once, and Qiong Lang memorized the entire tune of the ballad.

After the sound of the piano stopped, the demon luthier opened his eyes, and caressed the body of the piano with pity as if looking at a lover.

"Has your lord marked it down? Let's get started."

"Uh... It's the first time I try this ballad, so I might not be able to sing it right." She gave the demon luthier a vaccination first.

The demon luthier shook his head and smiled indifferently, "Don't worry, my lord, my piano sound will always guide and cooperate with you."

After she said that, Qiong Lang had no choice but to rush the duck to the shelf and nod, with an extremely serious expression, no matter how well she sang, she had to put on a good attitude first.

As for the rest, let it be...

Mermaids are an ancient, mysterious and strange race. Their singing voices have the magical power to confuse all living beings. Every mermaid is born with a beautiful singing voice.Although Qiong Lang is not a real mermaid, he is favored by heaven to have a distinctive voice, and has been praised by people around him since he was a child.

And since she ate the mermaid's flesh, this singing voice fits perfectly with the mermaid's magical power.Even if she didn't use any demon power, no one could resist the bewitching power when the singing sounded.

As the melody of the demon luthier gradually improved, Qiong Lang took a deep breath, his vermilion lips moved slightly, and a moving singing voice escaped from his lips.It was the first time for Datiangu to hear Qiong Lang singing so seriously, and when he first heard her singing, his eyes were slightly distracted.

With just one sentence, the demon luthier was completely engrossed in it, flicking the strings obsessively.

However, Qiong Lang only sang the first line in tune, and from the second line onwards, the ending sang a bend and turned directly to the outer space.

The demon luthier was bewitched by the singing, but he couldn't recover for a while.He frowned slightly, although he felt that something was wrong, his subordinates couldn't control themselves, and instinctively followed the tune sung by Qiong Lang, which was completely different from the previous ballad.

Qiong Lang was secretly delighted, she didn't expect that the demon luthier would be led out of tune by herself, she only thought that this was the so-called guidance and cooperation, and after praising him for his knowledge, she began to sing more seriously.

There was never an embarrassing scene where the song didn't fit the song, and she couldn't help feeling good about herself while singing, and was intoxicated by her own singing.

However, without the guidance of the demon luthier's piano sound, the original melody of the ballad suddenly became more chaotic. A peaceful and gentle ballad with a little cheerfulness was sung out of the eighteen bends of the mountain road.

Hearing Qiong Lang's increasingly outrageous ballad tunes, no matter how superb the piano skills of the demon luthier who was bewitched by the singing, he began to feel strenuous.Thin thin sweat faintly oozes from his forehead, his lax consciousness finally condenses a bit, and a faint doubt emerges in his heart.

How do you feel that this piece of music that he has practiced countless times is extremely difficult to play today...

Datengu's monster power is much stronger than his, although he was confused by Qiong Lang's singing for a moment, he soon woke up and regained his consciousness.

Turning his gaze to the demon luthier, at this moment, his movements of playing the piano seem to be no longer as elegant and skillful as before. His fingers bouncing back and forth quickly look like a group of demons dancing wildly, with a little panic and haste.

Seeing this, Datengu couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth. He pursed his lips and looked at the lyre being unconsciously destroyed by the demon luthier. A bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart, and he quickly cast a look at Qiong Lang, signaling her Be more restrained.

Unexpectedly, it was too late, at the moment when Qiong Lang turned his head to look at the big tengu without knowing why, the originally melodious and cheerful piano sound suddenly stopped abruptly accompanied by several extremely discordant harsh sounds.Qiong Lang was taken aback, and suddenly stopped the singing that hadn't finished.

Without the confusion of the singing, the demon luthier instantly came to his senses and opened his eyes profusely with sweat. When he subconsciously lowered his head and saw the lyre in front of him, he immediately froze on his seat, realizing that what happened just now What.

Five of the seven strings of the Yaoqin, which was cherished and maintained by the demon luthier as a lover, were broken, Qiong Lang looked at his Yaoqin, and was also dumbfounded.

"..."

"..."

"..."

There was an eerie silence in the room, and just when Qiong Lang was anxiously about to express his condolences, a crazy notification sound from the system suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Ding", the favorability of the demon luthier has decreased by 100 points, and the current favorability is -50 points.

"Ding", the favorability of the demon luthier has increased by 100 points, and the current favorability is 50 points.

"Ding", the favorability of the demon luthier has decreased by 50 points, and the current favorability is 0 points.

"Ding", the favorability of the demon luthier has increased by 50 points, and the current favorability is 50 points.

……

The notification sound frantically swiped back and forth for ten seconds, making Qiong Lang's ears almost ring with noise, and the favorability finally increased by 50 points from the original 10 points, and then stopped at 60 points.

Qiong Lang's heart was in a state of ups and downs, following the notification sound like a roller coaster, soaring a few curves, and the last big rock fell to the ground to relieve her heart, but she couldn't imagine the thoughts and emotions of the demon luthier in such a short period of time. What kind of ups and downs have been experienced.

The demon luthier was in a cold sweat, gasping for breath, and after a moment's pause, his body couldn't help shaking slightly, his eyes were dull, his hands were on the broken strings, his lips were trembling, but he couldn't say a word.

Qiong Lang held his breath and looked at him, for a moment he felt that the demon luthier was about to cry.

"Uh... Mr. Yaoqin Master's superb piano skills are indeed rare in the world. I really admired him when I heard about it today." Datengu took the lead in breaking the silence, and condolenced his severely wounded soul without any trace.

The demon luthier came back to his senses, and reluctantly responded to him, "I, I am sorry... Your lord praised me."

"How can this be absurd praise? It's no exaggeration to say that Mr. Qin's piano skills are the most demon in the world!" Qiong Lang hurriedly followed him to flatter him.

Hearing this, Yaoqin Master suddenly clenched his fists and shook his head in pain, as if he had been stimulated by something: "No!"

Realizing that his reaction was too intense, he pulled the corner of his mouth and showed an ugly smile, "I'm sorry... I'm not good at playing the piano, so I couldn't play this piece completely."

"No, no, it's not your problem, it's because I'm too unskilled in singing!"

The corner of the demon luthier's mouth twitched, isn't this just unskilled?

However, because of his feelings, he still politely replied: "Lord Qionglang is self-effacing. It's the first time Your Excellency has sung this piece. It's all because I was too anxious and only played it once. I couldn't wait when I was not familiar with it." The beginning of..."

"Although the adult's intonation is still lacking, it is definitely worthy of the title of the sound of nature."

"Really? Hahahaha, as long as you like it." Qiong Lang didn't expect him to praise himself so much, and suddenly felt that his singing voice was really moving.

Even monsters like Yaoqin Master, who have high requirements for rhythm, praised her. This also shows that although she is out of tune, she still has great potential. Otherwise, how could she impress him by breaking the rules?

The joy of being recognized by the master made her straighten her back confidently, her heart fluttering.

"Uh... your qin doesn't look very strong." Qiong Lang touched his nose and looked at him helplessly, "It's a pity that I didn't finish singing this time, but it doesn't matter. When you fix this qin, when will you come to find it?" I can make up for any regrets."

The Yaoqin master trembled when he heard this, maybe he didn't expect Qiong Lang to be so thick-skinned, he hesitated to speak for a while.

"My lord's kindness is appreciated by me. I'm really showing my shame today. I'll discuss the rhythm with my lord after I fix this Yaoqin... Let's take my leave today!"

Under Qiong Lang's earnest gaze, the demon luthier picked up the broken string and fled away.

Qiong Lang saw the panic in his back, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared, "Did he just say some polite words?" It really made her happy.

"Alas..." Big Tengu pursed his lips and looked at her stupid look, sighed, and felt very sympathetic to the demon luthier, "I really don't understand how I was bewitched by you more than 80 years ago..."

Qiong Lang froze, and angrily snatched the white conch from his waist.

"What are you doing with my conch..."

"You pervert! I was just a child more than 80 years ago, and you actually had something wrong with me at that time!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Datengu choked on his own saliva, and quickly reached out to get back his precious conch, "I don't have one, and besides, what does this have to do with my conch."

Qiong Lang hid the conch behind his back to avoid his hand, walked towards the door without any explanation, and said with a dark face: "What is your conch, this is my conch."

"Didn't you give it to me?"

"Isn't your stuff my stuff? What's wrong with me taking my own stuff? If I don't give it to you, I won't give it to you."

"........."

*****

The demon qin master staggered back to his room with the qin in his arms, and tremblingly set a ban on locking the paper door. Only then did he sit at the desk with peace of mind, looking at his beloved Yaoqin in despair, It's a pity.

After finding silk and staying up all night to repair the broken wires, the demon luthier held Yaoqin and sighed painfully. He heard the first sound of nature in the world as he wished, but it was quite different from what he imagined.

But this can't be blamed on Qiong Lang, it's because his realm is not high enough.

Looking at the repaired strings, the demon luthier fell into deep self-doubt with a solemn expression.

He thinks that his attainments in rhythm and piano skills are unparalleled in the world, and he has always been extremely confident in his fingering and skills.But he never expected that there would be a day when he would be taken out of tune by other people's singing.

The zither sound, which should be used as a guide, was taken away from the tune by the singer, and he couldn't even react when the string broke. It is a great shame to say it!

"Ugh……"

Master Yaoqin sighed, looking disappointed.Good qin players have always been noble and self-disciplined, and at the same time have a stable state of mind that transcends ordinary people. Only when they calm down can they play the qin in their hearts.

But after he played the wrong tune today, he lost his composure repeatedly in front of Qiong Lang and Da Tiangu, it really shouldn't be.Recalling Qiong Lang's singing, Yaoqin Master's expression was tangled for a moment, he loved and hated her at the same time.

"It seems that my state of mind and piano skills are still far behind..."
