"Um...has your letter been written?"
Ye Linghuan's eyes were on her Xun, and then moved to the face of Magistrate Fei. Magistrate Fei's hands stopped for a moment, and he looked even more confused than she was:
"Ah? What letter?"
"Is that, the letter you asked us to send to Death Shadow Pavilion?"
The magistrate of Feixian County finally remembered. He opened his mouth and said "ah" for a long time, his eyes wandering around. After a while, he hesitated and said to them:
"Uh, um... I think I didn't write this letter well. It wasn't sincere enough. It might be difficult to impress the Lord." He smiled apologetically and suddenly returned to his previous calm posture. "Look, I accidentally wrinkled this letter. Just in time, I feel that what I said is not accurate and appropriate enough, so I'd better draft a new one. You three... aren't in a hurry to leave?" "
Xie Zhe frowned slowly, feeling a subtle hint of impatience in his heart.
"Actually, I'm quite anxious."
"But it's raining outside."
"……no?"
The three of them turned their heads and looked out the window at the same time. The window was still wide open, and I saw a few drops of rain suddenly falling in, and it quickly became dense. In front of them, the dry patch of ground next to the window was completely wet, and the rain showed no sign of stopping. Ling Huan was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment. The county magistrate shook his head regretfully and put the xun on the table reluctantly.
"Now, I'll return the things to you. I'll go back and write a new letter. Please... don't move around."
He reluctantly glanced at the agate Xun again, turned around and exited the room, closing the door behind him.
"Check it." Xie Zhe was very alert, "See if that thing has been exchanged. His interest is too strong."
So thick that it's suspiciously thick.
Ye Linghuan quickly grabbed the xun and checked it carefully in his hand. He felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with it. Han Zhang also took it, looked at it carefully again, and even brought it to the tip of his nose for a sniff, before handing it back to her with confidence.
"Well... I haven't changed it yet." Han Chang glanced at the closed door again, "But did you see the look in his eyes just now? I've seen it countless times. This kind of person has something in his heart."
"The rain outside the window is also mysterious."
After saying that, Xie Zhe got up and went to the window to check. The rain falling on his face was real. The patter outside the window never stops, the rain is hitting the koi pond, the gravel road, and the flowers and grass. There doesn't seem to be anything strange about it, but it's really strange that it just comes. Xie Zhe closed the window, and the sound of rain became quieter.
"It's real rain...but the rain clearly started falling just after he finished speaking. If he knew how to summon wind and rain, and spread the beans into soldiers, it would be difficult to handle all this."
"Then he is really good at magic - and it is a good magic. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, so it is best for us to sneak away. I will go out to investigate first. Don't walk around casually. I will come back to you soon."
Han Chang is right. He walked toward the door, leaving them for the moment. Ye Lingquan also began to worry, feeling that he was really arrogant just now and handed the thing to the other party like this. She'd better not let anyone know in the first place. As the saying goes, one learns from every experience, and she will never do such a careless thing in the future.
Xie Zhe briefly observed this guest room. Just like them, both the area and layout are exactly the same. I'm afraid all the guest rooms are designed according to this template. Speaking of which, how many guest rooms are there? It seems like this area is full of them. After all, looking from the street, this place is as big as many houses connected together. Lanling Town is not that big. There is no need for the magistrate to sit there every day and let his subordinates handle trivial matters. There is no need for him to go there on weekdays. So most of the time, he should be in this house with his wife. But it's too empty here, and until now, they haven't seen any serious workers, cooks, maids, or even the shadow of his wife. Since this place is so empty, even the slightest sound from the servants' comments cannot escape their ears. However, it is so quiet here, and they have not heard a word of conversation other than theirs.
"I didn't expect that I would encounter trouble so close to my destination." Ling Huan said with emotion.
"It's not a big deal, don't worry, there will always be a way."
Xie Zhe's comfort was dry and ineffective. Ling Huan had a grimace on his face and secretly regretted it for a while. Then he seemed to have remembered something and asked Xie Zhe:
"That's right. Not long after we met, you said that if someone could blow this xun, there would be big trouble, right? I don't remember what you said..."
"Ah...that's what happened."
"This xun and the amber have the same origin, right? Can you tell me about it? I know too little..."
"Well, since you have Xun in your hands, you should know this. It's a long story, so I'll make it short."
So Xie Zhe told her succinctly that a thousand years ago, on the Biluo Islands - a place then called the Nine Heavens Kingdom, eight evil gods opened a special barrier. To this day, those evil gods may still have followers who are deeply poisoned walking around the world. Although all the evil gods have been killed by Kanna-kun and his companions during his lifetime, their thoughts are immortal. Even without the obstruction of these evil gods, some fallacies were still passed down and even traveled across the ocean to the land where Xie Zhe and the others were born. There are still a very few people who believe that Kanna-kun is sinful and a god-killing thug, and becoming an impermanent person is the punishment given to him by the Lord of Naraku. More people believed this statement in the past because people at that time were more ignorant and the influence of those cults was deeper and wider. But today, more and more people believe that it was Kannawujun's kind deeds that moved the Yama demon, and this allowed him to continue his life that should have been wiped out in ashes in the final god-killing battle.
What the truth of the matter is, one has to ask Kanna-kun himself.
The eight evil gods handed down seven relics, which were the magic weapons they used to build the barrier. Their origins and functions vary. As for the eighth evil god, no one can figure out what it is. They only know that it is the ultimate god named "Heaven". But why care so much? Anyway, their conspiracy was foiled - the plot to use the Nine Heavens Kingdom as a testing ground to breed an extremely evil force to control the Three Realms was foiled.
This is the most widely circulated statement today. It is said that someone asked Kanna-kun this way, and he personally agreed.
"Amber is the magic weapon of Poseidon. Poseidon's power is supposed to be very strong, but its believers are only a few humans living on the coast, and most of them are monsters called Yasha. Ah, it's not quite like the Yasha we are talking about here. Similarly, they are a kind of sea yaksha, a special kind of monster. They establish a connection with a long-handled three-pointed knife, uniting their originally simple and stupid brains. In fact, what really works is the amber on the weapon. .And your Xun was brought from heaven by the god of song, Kinnara. Such perfect ore is indeed rare, and may be unique in the world. Kinnara has mastered the melody of people's souls, and the music she plays can It resonates with the three souls and seven souls of human beings. She relies on the music played by this thing to control people's hearts and souls, turning them into puppets who are willing to give up their bodies. If you listen to the sound of this xun too much, it will hurt people. Brain.”
"Alas!"
Ling Huan was startled, and suddenly felt that the agate in his hand had become hot and threw it out. Of course she lost it. The xun fell on the bed without making any sound. She didn't dare to touch it for a long time, but Xie Zhe calmly picked it up and looked around.
"It's not so nervous... Thousands of years have passed, and it has stopped making any movement, and maybe it will never make a sound. After all, Kinnara is also a musician from the heaven, and he probably has something special. The way of playing, but this is not something that just humans can understand.”
After saying that, he handed the xun to Ling Huan. Ling Huan slowly stretched out his hand and took it back carefully. Thinking about it this way, there was a reason why her father hid it in such panic. It's a pity that she was too stupid at that time and chose this thing to bring out. If I had known earlier, I would have changed it. Alas, but that’s not certain. Why does the Pavilion Master of the Death Shadow Pavilion think this is the most important? After all, the magistrate of Pi said that Poseidon's amber is hidden in the Death Shadow Pavilion.
"Why hasn't Zhongli come back yet?" Xie Zhe stretched his head to look at the door and stood up, "Don't think the place is too big and it might get lost or be detained by someone on patrol. I'd better go take a look."
"Wait! I'll go too."
"That's fine...remember to bring your things with you so they won't be rummaged through while you're not around."
So according to Xie Zhe's suggestion, Ye Lingyu hid the xun on his body and followed him out. The house was still empty, no servants could be seen, and no one's conversation could be heard. There was only the sound of two people's footsteps in the wide corridor. It was midday, but because it was raining outside and the sky was gray, it was difficult to define the time. There was no other sound, which meant that the food delivery person hadn't arrived yet. They have to be more careful.
Not long after walking, Ling Huan suddenly felt that he heard something. She was a little uneasy and quietly pulled Xie Zhe's sleeve.
"Azhe, did you hear anything?"
"...I heard it." Although Xie Zhe didn't take the initiative to mention it, he didn't hide it either, "It was some other sounds."
"What is it?" She stopped, "I think it's coming from upstairs. Could it be a mouse?"
Xie Zhe nodded, and his eyes moved to the ceiling along with Ling Huan.
"Probably not. After all, there is nothing to eat here. If there is a rat problem, it should be in the kitchen or warehouse."
"Maybe there's someone upstairs?" Ling Huan thought for a moment, "Is it Han Chang? Since he didn't come back, did he sneak away to look elsewhere in the house? It's raining outside anyway, so he definitely won't go out for a walk."
At this point, they had arrived at the stairs. After hearing this, Xie Zhe felt that what she said was reasonable, and his eyes repeatedly crossed the stairs leading downstairs and upstairs. In the end, he chose to walk up the stairs. Ye Lingyu followed closely behind. In this way, at least they won't run into the person delivering the food, so they won't have to make up lies and make excuses.
Their judgment was correct. As I walked up the stairs, that particular sound became clearer. After arriving on the third floor, the two of them were finally able to hear clearly what the sound was.
Sound of instruments.
Strings, to be exact.
