Where is Shengxiao warm?

Ever since Que'er regained her freedom and went out to travel, the Hall of Ecstasy has stopped chattering, and it has suddenly become much quieter.

An Nuan spent most of her time in the Yisi building sorting out those ancient books, occasionally feeding Sheng Xiaomo's rabbits, crickets, and Persian cats, and watering the begonias and osmanthus in front of the hall.

Sheng Xiaomo was not affected at all, he still teased cats and dogs every day, and teased his little apprentice every now and then, which was cozy and comfortable.

"Xiao Nuan, today's snacks are good."

"Understood - make a few more copies and send them to the master and the master master."

"Good boy." Sheng Xiao laughed softly.

I don't know if it's because of these snacks, the World Honored One has been much gentler to himself recently.At the beginning, he just asked himself to put down the food box and leave, and then some of them chatted with him, mostly about how his master was mischievous when he was cultivating immortals, how the lord and the world cleaned up for him in front of the master Gossip like endgame.

While listening to Mo Yan's lecture, An Nuan complained silently in her heart. It turns out that her master still has so many dark histories that cannot be recalled.

Almost two years have passed since the Apprentice Conference, and the palaces of each division have resumed normal operation, and new disciples have gradually integrated into it.

When going to the Greedy Hall, An Nuan ran into Shang Shangpiao and Hu Qingqiu by chance. They pretended not to know each other in front of the World Honored One, spoke sarcasticly, and when they turned around, their style of painting changed suddenly. Powerless to complain.

After getting acquainted with each other, I realized that Shang Shangpiao is best at the art of flying and moving, and although Hu Qingqiu teaches five elements, but because he belongs to the fox family, he is best at immortal medicine and charm art.

The three of them made an appointment to learn from each other, and An Nuan's spells improved a lot.

Seeing that the two-year deadline was approaching, An Nuan looked at the gradually tidy books in Yisi Building, and then looked at the only book "Five Elements General Knowledge" left on her case. In the past two years, I have unknowingly read all the books in Yisilou. It turns out that's what Master asked me to sort out the ancient books. I wronged Master for not teaching me seriously.

Opening "Five Elements General Knowledge", An Nuan was fascinated by it, and suddenly heard the master outside the Palace of Ecstasy calling herself: "Xiao Nuan, come out and play."

When An Nuan came to the front of the hall, Sheng Xiaomo was leaning against the crabapple tree, holding his Persian cat in his arms, teasing it intently.

"Master?"

"Well, find some time today and go to the piano room in the Palace of Unrequited Love to pick out a piano."

"The Palace of Unrequited Love... why do you want to choose from the Venerable Master, don't you have one, Master?"

Sheng Xiao said silently: "There are only Xiaos in the Hall of Ecstasy for the master, and there are tens of thousands of them, big and small."

"...Then I'd better go to the Palace of Heartlessness to pick the piano."

"Xiao Nuan." Sheng Xiaomo called An Nuan who turned to leave, "Does Xiao Nuan like piano more?"

An Nuan was stunned for a moment, Sheng Xiaomo's tone was clearly a little more...acting like a baby?

"No, it's just that it's rare that you can go to the Palace of Unrequited Love to get things. If you don't want to get something for nothing, you won't have this store after passing this village anyway."

As expected, he is a pro-apprentice, even the mentality of eating, drinking, and stuffing is exactly the same as his master, Sheng Xiaomo smirked: "That's right, the senior brother who is in charge doesn't often give things away."

"Send?" An Nuan immediately caught the key words in Sheng Xiao's silent words, "Master, you said that the qin was given by the lord? It's not a year or a festival and nothing happened. Why did the lord send me the piano for no reason?" ?”

Sheng Xiaomo raised his forehead, alas, if you talk too much, you can ruin a harmonious society with just one sentence...

"Ahem, actually, the senior brother of the sect leader asked you to go to his piano room to pick the piano a long time ago, saying that it was as an apology for hurting you, but the teacher forgot."

My apology... At least it was a year ago...

An Nuan has black hair, Master, can you be more reliable?

Palace of Unfeeling.

"Your Majesty, that... um, that's that..." An Nuan was at a loss for words, and didn't know how to explain it for a while.

"Go to the piano room. Xiaogu, you go with her."

As expected of His Majesty, he is indeed much more reliable than his master!An Nuan followed Hua Qiangu to the piano room, thinking along the way.

"Ah Nuan, this is the piano room, you can pick whatever you want, Master will not hesitate to promise you the piano." Hua Qiangu looked at An Nuan with a smile, her voice was sweeter than when she saw her by herself a year ago. When I was young, I was a little more innocent and confident.

An Nuan was not in a hurry to pick the piano, she turned around and took Hua Qiangu's hand: "Xiaogu, I haven't seen you for a year, how are you doing?"

"I'm fine."

"Then why did senior brother Li Meng take over when I delivered the snacks at the Palace of Unrequited Love, why couldn't I see you?"

"Since what happened last time, Master let me get in touch with Duan Nian. This year I have been practicing exercises and rarely go out."

"That's good, then I'll pick the piano."

The piano room in the Palace of Unrequited Love is really big. There are hundreds of guqins, large and small, hanging on the wall. Uh, Luoxia... Pick out any one at random, it's an ancient piano.

Walking through in turn, the sound of the piano sounded, looping back and forth, lingering and affectionate, like weeping and complaining.

An Nuan suddenly noticed a piano sitting quietly in the corner. The body of the piano was dim, but there was a sense of tranquility flowing faintly.The most important thing is that when I walked into the piano room, all the violins around me were competing with each other, hoping to be selected, but this violin lay there quietly from the beginning to the end.

When I got closer, I found that the strings of this qin had been broken, and there were only six lonely strings left on the smooth body of the qin.

"If you want to put your thoughts on Yaoqin, no one will listen to the broken strings." An Nuan gently stroked the body of the piano, feeling the melody flowing silently under the palm of her hand.This piano must have once been radiant, but now it is abandoned like a shoe.

An Nuan caressed the strings with both hands, and a wonderful voice poured out instantly, as if she was waiting for a bosom friend she hadn't seen for a long time.The sound of the piano is like a clear spring flowing, or like the twittering of birds in the forest, with three sighs in succession.I don't know how long it took, the sound of the piano slowly stopped, but the music seemed to still be floating around, lingering for a long time, just like Kunshan jade broken fragrant orchid weeping dew.

"That's it." An Nuan said to Hua Qiangu outside the door.

"Ah?" Hua Qiangu recalled the music just now, "Ah Nuan, you play really well. The name of this piano is Lu Yi, and the master said that the original master of this piano played for seven days and seven nights to see his friends off. , Everyone who heard it burst into tears, but on the seventh day, the strings of the qin suddenly broke. Someone visited the qin master the next day and found that the qin master had passed away with the qin in his arms. Not long after that, the friend of the qin master He also died unfortunately. The master felt that this violin was contaminated with two lives, so he kept it away, and thought about re-stringing it, but he never succeeded, so no one played this violin for nearly a hundred years."

"Lvyi... Zhanbi Qiao, Lvzhuyi. There are bandits and gentlemen, such as cutting like sharpening, such as cutting like grinding, seizing and humming, and humming. Xi."

An Nuan carried the piano back to the Hall of Ecstasy, and saw Sheng Xiaomo standing alone under the crabapple tree from a distance, with a silver flute on her lips playing softly.

The sound of the flute whimpers, like weeping like complaining, the music is repeatedly blurred, weird and ups and downs.Like a lonely soul lost in the darkness, being caressed by a pair of gentle hands; and like the moon hanging high in the silent night, lonely but as clear as a mirror, peaceful and serene.

There is a thousand rivers and moons in front of the door, but there is no dust in the room.If the bay leaves cover the eyes, you must know that the pure land is also charming.

An Nuan suddenly thought of such a poem, and her face was wet without realizing it, with tears streaming down her face.

"Master..." An Nuan choked up, and countless memories flooded her mind.

......

"Master, what's the name of the flute in your hand?"

"Changshu."

"Changshu? Isn't that a place name?"

"It's Changshu...the Changshu of 'Haoqi Changshu'."

"Wu Zhu's autumn scenery and the west mausoleum are full of greenery, and the strings and strings are in a hurry. The sleeves are not danceable, but they bear tears in front of the wind. Is this 'Changshu'?"

......

"Master, why is this sword called Wuxin?"

"Your master, I want you to be smarter in the future."

"Isn't that supposed to give you a sword called 'Scheming'...By the way, master, what's the name of your saber?"

"Mingyue. But I rarely use a saber."

Since then, I have no heart to love Liang Ye, and let him go down to the west building under the bright moon.Master gave me the Wuxin Sword, did he hope that I would not become his bondage?

......

Maybe a year ago when I begged Master to let Que'er go, I really came true.

Master is really unhappy, his freedom is limited to the long-term freedom, his chic is tied to the palace of ecstasy, in fact he has never been free and chic.

I really want to go up and hug him.

Master, who was usually joking and laughing, looked so haggard and sad at this moment.

An Nuan took out the Lvyi from her arms. If the piano was played only for her bosom friend, then it must be on the verge of an arrow, ready to go.

Sure enough, An Nuan's fingers flicked lightly on the piano, the sound of the piano and the sound of the flute, lingering and sympathetic, blending and cherishing each other.

There was a silent sound from the shengxiao, and when I turned around, I saw An Nuan sitting on the ground not far away, the sound of the guqin was low and melodious, which perfectly blended with the sound of my own flute.

Qinxiao and Ming.

The breeze in the Hall of Ecstasy is quiet, and all things concentrate and enjoy the music together.

The more An Nuan played, the more sad she became. Sheng Xiaomo's loneliness and helplessness seemed to have become a part of him. The pain and contradictions hit his heart, and the tears couldn't stop falling with his fingers, as if he wanted to drain his body dry. the last bit of moisture.

Sheng Xiaomo also felt something was wrong at this moment, the sound of the zither was the reflection of the player's heart, even if An Nuan felt sad and shed tears from the sound of his zither, the sadness and pain of the sound of the zither far surpassed that of his own zither Voice.

The flute sound stopped abruptly.It can't go on like this anymore, Xiao Nuan's mind may have been controlled by the guqin, and if she continues to play, she may be exhausted and die of collapse.

"Xiao Nuan, Xiao Nuan!"

An Nuan's consciousness had gradually blurred, she could only hear Sheng Xiaomo calling herself, but she couldn't stop.

"Master..."

That's too late.Sheng Xiaomo mobilized her true energy and pushed the Qin away from An Nuan, and hugged An Nuan.

An Nuan just felt that she suddenly fell into a warm embrace, it was the master, the master is hugging her tightly right now?

Sensing Annuan's movements in his arms, Sheng Xiaomo ordered, "Don't move, I'm injecting true energy into you so that you won't collapse."

It was a master's rare strong tone. Although it was a bit fierce, it was full of concern.

An Nuan was in Sheng Xiaomo's arms, desperately trying not to let herself lose her mind, but she still gradually lost consciousness.
