Chapter 104: The Second Fragment
That night, in the backyard of Xianjian Hall, Pu Zixuan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. He thought to himself that this was the first time since he met Chen Shuqing, he had been so completely separated from her.
In the past, the two of them walked from Yunnan to Sichuan and then to Guangxi, almost inseparable. Even if they were separated occasionally, they felt at ease because they could sense the other person's existence. Pu Zixuan had become accustomed to sensing Chen Shuqing's position through demonic energy. Sometimes, even a little tired of the other person's shadow following the scene. Now, in this mansion built by Xiaoye Hongdou, everything can only be seen with the naked eye and listened with the ears. Moreover, the misunderstanding with Chen Shuqing yesterday has not been resolved. Those harsh words are like a lump, and are getting bigger and bigger in his heart.
I have never experienced it before. It turns out that thinking of someone can be so fascinated! Loving someone can be so unforgettable!
How can this luxurious aura built with money in the garden, a palace that is even more elegant and luxurious than the Happy Mansion, be so lonely?
The little bits and bits of her time with Chen Shuqing in the past surged in his heart. That day, her words in the clothes shop surround her mind like lingering sounds, and they rang in her mind over and over again.
"Don't always think that you are wasting your time. Only with such a beautiful woman who wants you to accompany you can cherish this time."
Yes, Xiaojiu, I have never seen this moment. I want to fly to you in an instant, look at you quietly, accompany you silently, look at your pouting little mouth, listen to your willful girl nagging, as long as I am with you, even if I spend a whole day with you... No, a whole month, a whole year, a lifetime street, I will never experience the pain of separation again!
However, from tomorrow, I will temporarily forget your existence and devote all my energy to hard practice.
Thinking of this, Pu Zixuan had no intention of sleeping, walked to the courtyard, looked at the stars in the sky, and sighed to the sky.
Suddenly, a vague sound of a swift pipe came from the quiet night sky. The sound was clearly from this fairy sword hall, but it looked extremely distant and sad against the backdrop of the night light.
On such a late night, there are still people who are missing like me?
For a moment, Pu Zixuan seemed to be in a sad and beautiful dream, and was intoxicated. He sighed:
Whose jade flute is flying in the dark?
The spring breeze spreads throughout Luocheng.
I heard the willows breaking in this nocturne,
Who doesn’t have a love for his hometown?
After enjoying the scene of tea, the sound of the flute still did not stop, but became more and more sad, lingering with infinite reverie and concern.
"It was so painful that I could play such a sad sound..." For a moment, Pu Zixuan seemed to have found a confidant, and involuntarily returned to the wing room, took out the seven-hole flute he hid under the bed, flew to the eaves, and echoed with the sound of the flute.
The song played by Pu Zixuan was "Lovers of Magpie Bridge" that he learned from a brothel in Lijiang three years ago. Gong Shangjiao Zhengyu was full of love between men and women who were separated from his lover. Soon, the sound of the flute in the distance stopped, as if the other party also heard Pu Zixuan's loneliness, and let Pu Zixuan play it alone.
Pu Zixuan was puzzled. When he thought about whether the other party was interested in dealing with him, he stopped playing and waited quietly.
Sure enough, when Pu Zixuan stopped, the sound of the flute opposite him started again, and the part that Pu Zixuan paused immediately. Pu Zixuan was overjoyed and thought that the other party would also have this song "The Magpie Bridge Lovers". His lonely heart seemed to have a partner, and he was excited, and he raised the flute and played it with the other party.
Under the bright moonlight, the two flute sounds merged into one, regardless of you and me, and the tacit understanding is the same, sometimes high-pitched and sometimes low-pitched into meditation. In just a moment, Pu Zixuan was already tearfully rendered by the atmosphere.
At the end of the song, the other party started a new flute sound. The flute sound had the charm of Guangxi Zhuang Township. Pu Zixuan could not play it, so he no longer agreed and flew towards the courtyard next door in the direction of the sound.
A girl who was also playing on the eaves was stunned when she heard someone flying in and stopped the music. It was not until Pu Zixuan came behind her that she turned around and saw the appearance of the visitor clearly and said in surprise: "Brother Pu, why are you?"
Pu Zixuan also saw clearly that this woman was no one else, He Xichen, and said in surprise: "Xichen, why are you... you here?"
"Is it because God heard my heart and called you here?" He Xichen was surprised at first. Then, she saw the flute in Pu Zixuan's hand and whispered lonely: "I knew that as long as I was in Guangxi, I would definitely meet Brother Pu, but why did Brother Pu's lovesickness really make me envious..."
The moonlight was beautiful, Pu Zixuan took two steps, sat side by side with He Xichen, and said melancholy: "Xichen guessed well, the sound of the flute was indeed played by Shuqing. In fact, we came to Guangxi all the way, one to find a doctor for her, and the other to come to this Xianjian Hall to learn skills for me. Now we are separated and cannot sense each other's existence. We are thinking about it at night, but we can't fall asleep. When we get up, we hear your flute sound, and we feel emotional. We take the liberty to play with you. I hope to forgive you."
He Xichen replied sweetly: "But no matter who you play, at that moment, the sound of the flute of you and me is indeed the unity of the heart. Only you and me can understand the taste, and there is no third person, right? Brother Pu, I just can't forget you. Since she is not by your side, why not let me accompany you in this fairy sword hall every day, watch you practice swords and listen to you playing the flute, you are tired, I wipe your sweat and thirsty, I send you water... Just like tonight, as long as I can be by your side quietly, the pain in my heart will disappear without a trace, no matter what the future will be. Brother Pu, can I let me accompany you during this period?" After saying that, he gently snuggled his head on Pu Zixuan's shoulder.
Pu Zixuan finally stopped refusing. If Xiaojiu hadn't appeared in front of this lively and infatuated girl, how could I not have loved her?
Pu Zixuan asked softly: "But, who are you? Why can you enter this Fairy Sword Hall and live in the guest room like me?"
He Xichen said, "Actually, I had a lot of things to say to my brother yesterday, but before I finished speaking, my brother left me and left alone... I had been in pain and angry, but after thinking about it, Guanyin Bodhisattva just wrote a dream to tell me that the Ruyi Man was in the south, but never said that I would stay with him forever. It was me who wished to drill into the fire pit, but... But I was still willing to be a little moth that slams the fire. Since Brother Pu wants to know more, now, I will tell you everything?"
Pu Zixuan nodded.
"I am actually the adopted daughter of He Tianao, the head of the Yongsheng Sect in Guilin. This time I came to the Xianjian Hall because many days ago, many disciples of the Xianjian Hall were killed by people from the Yongsheng Sect in the wild. After I came to investigate the truth, I found that it was done by a madman under the sect, and he could not represent my father's intention, so I came to apologize to Master Zhu."
Pu Zixuan's heart trembled: "I understand, it turns out that you are the envoy from the Eternal Life Sect! The whole story, in fact, the master has already explained to me, it was done by a purifying envoy named Qin Yong. Now, your father is wanting Qin Yong, and he has expressed his opinion that no matter who gets rid of this person, he can give up the position of leader to him." He Xichen nodded: "That's it. Judging from Master Zhu's reaction yesterday, he seemed to attach great importance to the position of leader."
Pu Zixuan said: "Yes, he even immediately proposed to train me. From tomorrow on, I will accept closed-door practice and ask me to help him get rid of Qin Yong."
He Xichen wondered: "You? Qin Yong is a purifying messenger. Is it useful to train you?"
Pu Zixuan smiled proudly and said, "Yes, I have never explained it to you yet. I am also a purifying messenger!"
"Ah?" He Xichen was shocked and then laughed, "It turns out that you two were fighting on the street that day. Both of them were purifying messengers, but they didn't know each other's identity, so they had to use physical skills to fight as if they were decent, haha!"
Pu Zixuan was also confused: "Are you talking about that robber? How do you know that the man is the purifier?"
"It's okay to tell you now. Uncle Lin Huinan from my Eternal Sect. He was assigned by my father to come to the Immortal Sword Hall to report to me. He wanted to carry me that day because I insisted on staying in Guiping to throw hydrangeas and attracting brides. He annoyed him. In fact, he is not a robber! Haha, but I still have to thank you brother for helping you, haha..." As soon as he finished speaking, He Xichen couldn't help laughing.
Pu Zixuan's face was so angry that he couldn't help but reach out and patted He Xichen's head: "You, you, you little girl! Almost killed me!"
He Xichen smiled and said, "Haha, it's so-called "I don't know each other without fighting! In the future, you may have to fight side by side! Anyway, now I understand that Master Zhu trained you as a purifying messenger to help him seize the position of leader."
"That's right..." Pu Zixuan wondered, "Is this position of leader so precious?"
"Of course, if you become the leader of the alliance, you can become the leader of all sects in Guangxi, have prestige and set up branches on other people's territory. There are many benefits! And, the key is that the leader can master something very precious!"
Pu Zixuan said curiously: "What?"
"Yaki Liuquan!" He Xichen said mysteriously, "One of the pieces of Yaki Liuquan are in my father's hands!"
"What? Liuquan Yagi, is in your father's hands?" Pu Zixuan couldn't believe his ears and was immediately confused. Unexpectedly, what he and Chen Shuqing were looking for was not in the monster this time, but in a sect with such a high-powered leader, and it was also coveted by major sects as a spoil. In other words, even if he regained the position of leader from He Tianao, this fragment of "Huanyue Jue" would fall into the hands of his master Zhu Shihua. With Zhu Shihua's temperament, he would definitely not sell this fragment to him at any price!
In other words, if you want to rescue Xiaoshu, you will inevitably lose this piece of fragment; and if you use cleverness to obtain the fragment from He Tianao first, Xiaoshu will inevitably fall into an abyss that will never be restored!
At present, Xiaojiu and I are in an unstable state, which has exhausted me. Now, this fragment and the little tree have created such a big contradiction for me!
He Xichen saw Pu Zixuan's abnormality and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Pu Zixuan felt confused and exhausted all over. He covered his head and said, "It's nothing, I just feel sleepy... I want to go back to my room to rest first."
