This green and flower-colored Kenshin Immortal Qin has a simple banana leaf shape, and its body is carefully crafted from the thousand-year-old Tianyan sacred tree. The whole body exudes a sense of ancient charm and transparency.
The whole body of the piano is black and faintly green, as if green vines are wrapped around ancient trees. The strings are made of thousand-year-old ice silk, which contains infinite spiritual power.
When Mu Xiyao lightly plucked the strings, the melodious and ethereal sound came from her delicate hands. This centering song is characterized by a warm, jade-like, full and transparent tone with a long lingering sound. Every note seems to penetrate the human heart, making people feel inner peace and tranquility.
This piece of music was composed by Ji Beichen for Mu Xiyao many years ago. They met at a music concert. That day, Ji Beichen and his junior sister Lu Xinrui came to attend the piano listening party.
Lu Xinrui wanted to buy a lingqin at that time, and Ji Beichen knew a little about music, so Lu Xinrui pulled him over to help. During the piano listening party, Ji Beichen and Mu Xiyao chose a spiritual piano at the same time and got to know each other.
Mu Xiyao has a high attainment in music rhythm, but she has fallen into the bottleneck of driving things to perfection, but cannot penetrate the realm, and cannot successfully form elixirs.
After Ji Beichen learned about this, he specially composed this calming song for Mu Xiyao, hoping to help her stabilize her mood and break through as soon as possible. Therefore, only Ji Beichen and Mu Xiyao knew this piece of music, and it became a secret between them.
After listening to this reassuring song, Ji Beichen looked towards Mu Xiyao and nodded slightly to express his gratitude.
This subtle interaction did not escape the eyes of the female nuns in the audience. Immediately someone shouted loudly: "The monks in Qiongzhou City, both men and women, are immoral and immoral... How can such a woman deserve to play the Jianxinqin!"
Mu Xiyao listened to the gossip in the audience and didn't care. Mu Xiyao knew that the Yuyin Sect was not like that. She didn't understand why the master wanted to be related to the Chenghuan Sect. Nowadays, the Yuyin Sect's power in the world of cultivation has indeed increased, but its reputation has declined in an instant.
Although Mu Xiyao has very high attainments in martial arts and musical instruments, some people who don't know the truth have doubts and prejudice against her. This may be because some recent events in Yuyinmen have indirectly affected her reputation. But she will not let the gossip from the outside world shake her faith and practice.
No matter how the outside world evaluates her, Mu Xiyao always insists on using her actions to prove the integrity of Yuyinmen Qinxiu. She always hopes in her heart that there will be a reasonable explanation for what her master has done recently.
Mu Xiyao's song ended, and Ji Beichen's heart returned to stability, allowing him to perform the Cangxu Sect's techniques more stably.
The Cangxu Sword in his hand flew up and down, and several rays of sword light flew out from the tip of the sword, shooting directly towards the face of the elder Jia Xie. Ji Beichen used the seventh form of the "Nine Tribulations Dragon-Slaying Technique" - no hatred, no evil!
Elder Scorpion couldn't help but feel puzzled when he saw Ji Beichen's skill suddenly strengthened and his sword style became more powerful.
Just now, he clearly felt that Ji Beichen's heartbeat was already unstable. If he fought with him a few more times, he should be able to defeat him. However, the strength Ji Beichen showed at this moment made him feel incredible.
Even though Elder Scorpion didn't understand music, he could still feel the faint spiritual energy fluctuations in the sound of the piano just now. He resisted Ji Beichen's attack with all his strength and barely escaped the fatal blow.
However, Elder Jie Xie felt something bad in his heart. Cangxu swordsmanship was indeed well-deserved. If he encounters several more waves of sword moves of the same magnitude, he may not be able to withstand them, and he won't be able to use his unique move - "Spirit Devouring Technique" in the sword trial arena.
Elder Scorpion took a deep breath and began to rethink his strategy. He realized that he could no longer be passively beaten and had to find another way to have a chance to reverse the situation.
After thinking calmly for a moment, Elder Jie Xie put away his swords, stood on the ring, and sneered at Ji Beichen: "Young Master Chen has a really prosperous love life. He just separated from the little demon girl from Yan Yue Sect, and now he is hooking up with the little violinist from Yuyin Sect. I’m on board, you really have both sides!”
When Ji Beichen heard what Elder Jie Xie said, he realized that he had recognized Yan Yueli's identity, and responded seriously: "Miss Yan and I are in love, and we have made an oath. We just need to wait for the two families to agree on the marriage and choose an auspicious day. We will get married. How can it be as bad as what you say!"
Ji Beichen turned to face where Mu Xiyao was sitting, cupped his hands and continued: "All the disciples of the Cangxu Sect know about my relationship with Mu Xiyao. Sister Mu and I met in the early years because our two immortal sects had good relations. Had an engagement.
But that engagement has been canceled long ago. Now Sister Mu and I are just Qin Xiu Immortal friends, and there is no such shameless thing as Elder Qian said! "
After hearing Ji Beichen's righteous answer, Elder Jie Xie sneered: "I am not interested in Mr. Chen's children's personal affairs. It's just that when you competed in the ring just now, the piano master played the piano to help you. This is unfair.
How about this, you two join forces on stage, and I will choose a helper to fight with you. What do you think when we play against each other? "
The monks in the audience became curious after hearing Elder Scorpion's suggestion. Although the Yuyin Sect has done some disgraceful things, it is an indisputable fact that the Yuyin Sect and the Cangxu Sect have been on good terms for a long time.
Moreover, Mu Xiyao, the eldest disciple of the Yuyin Sect, had indeed been engaged to the Cangxu Sect before, and everyone at the scene knew this fact.
Someone in the audience said: "This elder of the Huan Mie Sect clearly knows that he can't win, but he still wants to find someone to help him. Mr. Chen, just promise him, and let's see who will come to help him!"
Ji Beichen didn't know the true intention of Elder Scorpion, but when he saw the suggestion from the casual cultivator in the audience, he responded: "I need to get Sister Mu's consent first. If Sister Mu agrees to play, we can have a two-two duel!"
Elder Scorpion naturally had his own considerations when making such a suggestion. The reputation of the Huan Mie Sect in the world of cultivation is not good.
Therefore, after Youzhou was relieved of its difficulties, the Huan Mie Sect has been trying to win over the Xianmen, Mo Sect and some powerful gangs in the city. As the most powerful gang in Cangzhou City, the Changyang Gang has always been the target of the Huan Mie Sect.
The purpose of Elder Scorpion's participation in the sword trial meeting this time was to discuss important matters with the Changyang Gang. However, he did not expect that He Zhixing of the Changyang Gang was very cunning. He had false feelings for the Huanmie Sect many times and refused to cooperate with them.
Now, Mr. Chen represents the city lord Mu Qing of the Mu Mansion in Cangzhou City, and is deeply supported by the monks in the audience. Elder Scorpion wanted to use this opportunity to forcefully recruit the Changyang Gang to help them.
After hearing Ji Beichen's answer, Elder Jie Xie turned around and cupped his hands to He Zhixing, the leader of the Changyang Clan who was sitting in the upper seat, and said: "I have heard for a long time that the leader of the Changyang Clan, He Zhixing, has unparalleled martial arts skills and is both wise and brave. He has great prestige in Cangzhou City. With one order, everyone They all obeyed and made outstanding contributions to the governance of Cangzhou City.
Master is full of praise for you, and I have always admired you. Now in this arena, I am the only one from the Huan Mie Sect, and I have come to borrow a monk from the Changyang Gang. I wonder if the gang leader can lend someone to take the stage? "
After He Zhixing, the leader of the Changyang Gang, heard Elder Scorpion's request, his eyes narrowed evilly like a poisonous snake. He pondered for a while and suddenly laughed: "Elder Qian is too polite. Just keep your reservations when competing in the arena. Although Mr. Chen is a sword cultivator of the Cangxu Sect, he is also the adopted son of Lord Mu.
Due to the two-generation friendship between our Changyang Gang and the Mu Mansion, Mr. Chen can almost be regarded as my adopted son. Now you are borrowing someone from me, how can I send someone to harm my adopted son? It’s really embarrassing for me! "
It's impossible for Elder Scorpion not to understand the meaning of He Zhixing's words. Yesterday, he had a conversation with Qiu Bairen, the deputy leader of the Changyang Gang. Qiu Bairen has already expressed to him the Changyang Gang's desire to have Jian Xinqin, and Elder Jie Xie also conveyed to Qiu Bairen the generous conditions of the Huan Mie Sect for the Changyang Gang.
At this time, Elder Jie Xie said politely: "Don't be embarrassed, Gang Leader He. The Huan Mie Sect didn't come here today for Jian Xin Qin, but to make friends with martial arts and show the sincerity of our Huan Mie Sect!"
He Zhixing understood the intention of Elder Scorpion. He wanted to show the Changyang Gang's position to other monks. The Changyang Gang and the Huan Mie Sect were in the same camp, forcing him to make an immediate choice.
If he now agrees to send a monk to help Elder Scorpion, it means that the Changyang Gang and the Huan Mie Sect are in the same camp.
But if he doesn't agree, he will offend the Huan Mie Sect today. If there are changes in the world of cultivation in the future, and the Huan Mie Sect gains more power, the Changyang Gang will not be able to gain a foothold in the world of cultivation.
He Zhixing's mind turned quickly, and he quickly compared the three forces involving his life and death. Mu Mansion, the mysterious Cangxu Sect, and the Huan Mie Sect in front of him. Faced with his own interests and the future of the Changyang Gang, he quickly made a choice.
After careful consideration, He Zhixing smiled and said to Elder Xie Xie: "Elder Xie is polite, with the sincerity of our Changyang Gang and Huan Mie Sect, of course you can lend this person to you!"
Ji Beichen was not surprised when he heard He Zhixing's answer. He sneered in his heart: Sure enough, He Zhixing decisively abandoned morality and justice in the face of morality and self-interest, just like the choice he made ten years ago!
Ji Beichen felt particularly disgusted when he looked at the scene of embarrassment in front of him, as well as the smiling faces of the two people full of intrigue and suspicion.
The casual cultivators in the audience felt sad and angry when they saw that Changyang Gang He Zhixing accepted the olive branch of the Huan Mie Sect so readily and abandoned morality. After all, the original intention of the Sword Trial Conference was to unite to resist the Huan Mie Sect!
However, being intimidated by the Changyang Gang, the monks were powerless. Everyone looked at each other speechlessly, shook their heads and sighed, and could only place their hope on Mr. Chen in front of them. Mr. Chen represents Cangzhou Prince Mu's Mansion, and everyone expects him to make a different choice!
