At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, people in the city hung up their own ever-burning lantern on the street to celebrate the new life of Guanyun City.
Bai Musheng walked towards the outside of the city lord's palace carrying two everlasting lanterns. One was signed with Bai Musheng, and the other had Hua Ruxue's name written on it. On the day he returned from Banyueqiu, ever since he noticed that Hua Ruxue secretly left Guanyun City, he knew that that girl would never hang up her own ever-burning lantern in the city.
If Bai Xun hadn't knocked the person unconscious and brought her back, he might never see that girl again.
Dozens of ever-burning lanterns hang high outside the city lord's palace. The one hanging on the top of the stone pillar has three names written on it: "Bai Yanqiu", "Hua Zhi", and "Bai Xun".
Bai Musheng stared at the lamp for a long time, and could only distinguish the word "Bai Xun" written at the bottom. "Bai Yanqiu" and "Hua Zhi" were two strange symbols in his eyes. Just like he could never remember what the person who brought him to Guanyun City looked like, nor could he remember the names of his father and mother who raised him.
The voices and appearances of those two people and everything they did for Guanyun City were quietly forgotten by the world, like a taboo.
The evening wind whistled by, and Bai Musheng looked away. He clenched the ever-burning lantern swaying in the wind in his hand, and a trace of uneasiness spread in his heart.
His elder brother Bai Xun is as cold as the moon in the sky. He has always been unattainable and would not take such down-to-earth measures as "making an ever-bright lamp".
In the past, the everlasting lanterns he made for his brother were all rejected without exception, and then shelved without a trace.
So, who made this everlasting lamp? Even better than his craftsmanship! How can he have the dignity to accept the apprenticeship money from those disciples in the future?
The wind in the middle of the night was filled with chills, and Bai Musheng quickly hung up the ever-burning lantern guiltily. He turned around and was about to go back home, but he saw Bai Xun standing behind him at some point.
Bai Xun is dressed in white clothes as tall and straight as pine trees in the snow. He wears a gray-blue belt around his waist. On the edge of the belt, silver thread mixed with white beast hair is embroidered with a simple and honest fox.
Bai Musheng remembered that Bai Xun attached great importance to the belt. In the past, he couldn't even look at it more than once. Later, the belt gradually wore out, so Bai Xun put it away and never used it. Why are you wearing it again today?
Bai Musheng couldn't help but take a few more glances at Bai Xun's waist. After all, the slightly childish belt really didn't match Bai Xun's cold and dusty temperament.
Bai Xun noticed Bai Musheng's gaze and turned slightly to avoid his gaze. His unhappy expression quickly disappeared like the last falling snow in early spring.
"It's getting late, let's play another game." Bai Xun's voice was not gentle. In this cold night, it was so calm that one could not feel any emotional fluctuations.
Bai Musheng paused with his stretched out foot, and immediately understood that she was here to play chess with him. But tomorrow is the end of the beast tide, and it’s time to recharge his batteries. Why did you drag him to play chess for no reason?
Speaking of which, Bai Xun's behavior these days is very unusual. He usually gets punished for making small mistakes, but now he doesn't even care about secretly using the Golden Word Order.
Could it be that Bai Xun finally saw his goodness? Do you understand that this younger brother is the unique and best younger brother in the world? Are you trying to cultivate a brotherhood with him that doesn't exist at all?
Thinking of this, Bai Musheng couldn't help but hold her head high with excitement and quickened her pace. She was just around the corner to become the overlord!
In the Nuan Pavilion of the City Lord's Mansion, Su Yi was meditating with her back to the screen. Hua Ruxue was sitting on the other side of the screen, with a simple xylophone placed in front of her.
Hua Ruxue slightly raised her hand to leave the strings, and the sound of the piano flowing slowly like water suddenly stopped. Her eyes crossed the xylophone and fell on the woman lying on the bed. The woman's eyes were closed tightly, her face was as papery, and her eyebrows were Someone left behind a rune for sealing the soul.
Hua Ruxue tried her best to focus the blue flames around her eyes, and could barely see Ning Shuyan's soul, which was so weak that it could break at the touch of a touch.
According to Su Zhi, on the last day of the year, fragments of the Reincarnation Stone will appear in the Forest of No Return, and she needs to stabilize Ning Shuyan's soul before then, and then leave Guanyun City. The time originally left for her was not urgent, but who would have thought that Ning Shuyan's condition suddenly deteriorated and she had to advance her plan.
The only method she knew that could stabilize the soul body and restore it to its original state was "Zhu Dongfeng" recorded in "Wu Zi Jue".
The Yaqin made of wood heart and ever-changing stone has a healing effect. Playing "Wish for the East Wind" with the Yaqin can solidify the soul of the listener and wish the listener to break through the realm of cultivation.
After half a month of sleepless practice, the score of "Wish for the East Wind" has been deeply engraved in her mind. All she needs to do now is to replace the xylophone with the arqin and play "Wish for the East Wind" again with the arqin.
As long as she finishes playing the piano music, not only Ning Shuyan can recover as before, but Su Yi can also successfully break through.
Otherwise, Ning Shuyan will die. There is no room for mistakes in this song.
Hua Ruxue put away the xylophone in front of her and took out the dark and restrained argenta from her storage bag. She took a deep breath, looked back at Su Yi on the other side of the screen, and then at Ning Shuyan, who was dying on the bed, and then looked at Qin in front of her intently, with fighting spirit igniting in her eyes.
She has played this song a thousand times and has never made a mistake. As long as she practices it, it will come naturally.
Her fingers lightly plucked the strings, but they produced a dry sound that was different from the xylophone. Hua Ruxue stared at the fingers that were cut by the sharp strings, and the tense nerves in her mind exploded.
The Yaqin is different from the ordinary xylophone in that the strings are made of aphrodisiac stone. When she plays the xylophone, she needs to tighten her strength to prevent the strings from breaking, but she can play the argenta...
She needs to use all her strength to make the piano sound as normal.
"When the sound of the harp begins, it must not fall, and when the music is completed, it will be completed." This is what the first chapter of "Ya Qin" says. If you play it, it will be a song, otherwise the Qi and blood of the person holding the harp will flow backward and die.
The first sound had already sounded. Hua Ruxue stretched out her hand to pluck the second string. The sound was as simple as a pebble falling into a clear spring. She concentrated all the power of the blue flames on her ten fingers. The virtual image struck the strings and suddenly appeared. crack.
Halfway through, the virtual image ceases to exist.
The sound of the piano continued to sound, low and gentle, like a stream breaking through the ice in the mountains, gentle and full of power.
At the end of the song, the sound of the piano was exquisite, and warm blood flowed on the cold strings.
Hua Ruxue was sweating profusely. She had no time to think about it and hurriedly looked up at the bed. The runes between Ning Shuyan's eyebrows gradually changed from weak white light to dazzling bright yellow.
That is a sign that the soul body is gradually returning to normal!
She turned to look behind the screen and saw that Su Yi's whole body was wrapped in light blue aura, and the aura surrounded him in an orderly manner.
That's a sign of breakthrough!
Done!
The joy of success reflected on her pale cheeks, and she smiled with relief.
Who else is so fearless in the face of danger? As expected of her!
Just as Hua Ruxue secretly rejoiced, a thunder suddenly sounded outside the house.
Hua Ruxue's fox body trembled. She ignored the pain in her hands and hurriedly put Yaqin away, thinking: Such a good treasure cannot be seen by others.
She slowly approached the window and looked at the stormy weather outside. In the dark night, thunderclouds slowly hovered above the City Lord's Mansion, and the lightnings that spread out in mid-air were strange and familiar at the same time.
The coercion exposed in the clouds made people breathless. Even though Hua Ruxue had never seen it before, she instantly understood that it was a thunder disaster!
The ascending thunder tribulation in the tribulation period!
Hua Ruxue subconsciously turned around and looked at Su Yi. She didn't feel relieved until she was sure that the aura around Su Yi was somewhere between the peak of the Golden Core and the Nascent Soul.
I thought Su Yi skipped the Nascent Soul, Out-of-Body, and Mahayana, and ascended on the spot!
Whose great power is this? Thunder Tribulation is here and you are still wandering outside! It really scares the fox to death!
Before she could open the door and go out cursing, she heard the sounds of yelling and cursing coming and going from the city lord's mansion.
"Damn! I'm about to break through!"
"What? Are you a devil? Didn't you just come out of seclusion yesterday? Are you here again?"
"I'm going! Wait! Wait! Me! Me! I seem to be about to break through too!"
"What? Are you going to break through the Mahayana stage? We agreed to do the Mahayana together until death! You are practicing secretly behind my back!"
"Let's not talk about it for now, hurry up, hurry up, find a place for me to break through!"
"What the hell! Don't come over here! I'm about to break through too, get out of the way! I can't hold it in anymore!"
"What are you doing? The city lord's palace only has so little spiritual power, how can you break through? Get out of here!" Bai Yi rolled up his sleeves with a sour look on his face, pretending to kill these monks who suddenly went crazy and wanted to break through. Throw it out of the city lord's mansion.
But before Bai Yi could meet the person next to him, his expression suddenly changed, and excitement slowly bloomed in his eyes: "Dog Twelve! I'm going to break through too! Hahaha!"
"What a good day today is? So many people have made breakthroughs? Why don't you catch me? My realm hasn't been touched in thirty years... Wait, this feeling... seems familiar... I'm going to make a breakthrough too!"
Accompanied by shouts of excitement, the city lord's mansion fell into a state of overdraft of spiritual power, and the spiritual stones in the formations in the mansion instantly turned into powder.
Bai Musheng, who was playing chess, was the first to notice the abnormality. He stared in surprise at Bai Xun, who was wrapped in white spiritual energy, and blurted out five words: "Are you going to ascend?"
Bai Xun didn't pay attention to the changes in the aura around him, and calmly held on to his words. He glanced at the chess game, then his eyes fell on Bai Musheng, who was in a mess, and whispered: "You lost."
"Have you broken through the Mahayana stage a long time ago? Have you been suppressing your cultivation for so many years?" Bai Musheng said with a struggling expression. He seemed to understand something, and there was indescribable shock and sadness in his heart.
If he breaks through the out-of-body stage as soon as possible and cultivates to the Mahayana stage, he can take over the position of city lord. Bai Xun will no longer have to suppress his cultivation and continue to stay in Guanyun City.
It was him who dragged Bai Xun down.
This night is destined to be a sleepless night.
