Above Loulan Lake, there are vast misty waves. The water surface is as bright and soft as satin. When a boat is sailing on the lake, if you look down, the lake water is so green that it reaches your heart, but it is still transparent, as if
Like a piece of jade.
In the entire Desa Province, only in Loulan Lake can you see such charming green. The poplar trees on the lakeside and the shallow shrubs and grass on the ground. Only here, you rarely see wind and sand all year round.
Even the wind, unlike other places in the northwest, hurts my face like a knife.
It is obviously a wilderness in the northwest, but here it seems to reveal a bit of the atmosphere of a southern water town. This Loulan Lake is a rare freshwater lake. The water in the lake is clear and sweet, and there are abundant fish, which feed the surrounding lakes.
Fishermen in a small village.
However, a few days ago, His Excellency the Duke issued an order to ban boats on Loulan Lake for a month. Nowadays, the huge Loulan Lake has an endless expanse of lake, but there is not a single boat. In the past, there were "sunsets and shadows of boats".
The scene can no longer be seen.
At this moment, under the setting sun, the sunset glow is like a fire, and the fire cloud on the horizon is as if the sky is boiling. The sky in the northwest, especially when there is no wind and sand at the turn of winter and spring, is exceptionally blue, so blue that the sky is boiling.
People can't help but admire it in their hearts.
Against the background of blue sky, red clouds and clear water, Du Wei stood alone on the lake.
Under his feet was a round, about five-meter-long piece of ice. It was floating on the lake, just like a jade dish.
This was created by Du Wei using ice magic to freeze water, just in time for people to have such a small foothold in the middle of the lake.
With Du Wei's magic strength at the moment, although he is still slightly lacking in magic power, he is above the control of magic. Because he has obtained the results of lifelong research by a large number of magicians in the Magic Society, and he has already understood
His strength is superhuman, his knowledge is strong and he remembers it well, and what he has learned in his heart now is even more extraordinary.
What's even more useful is a magic circle taught to him by the old madman Alec. At this moment, under the lake water at his feet, there are six magic crystals hidden at the bottom of the lake. The magic power from far away is slowly forced out, constantly giving this ice plate
The cold air was injected into the ice to prevent the ice from melting, and the six magic crystals formed the shape of a six-pointed star and were hidden under the lake. This jade dish was firmly fixed in the center of the six-pointed star, forming a small, immovable
Island-like.
At this moment, Du Wei was wearing a fluttering black robe, standing on this ice plate. The azure blue of the sky, the blush of the sunset, and the clear blue of the lake. Against the background of these, he seemed to be floating out of the dust, as if he was no longer there.
Like this human figure...
On top of the ice tray, a thick leather cushion was spread under Du Wei's body, and Du Wei sat on it calmly. He looked relaxed and lazy, squinting his eyes, and within easy reach was a
A bottle of high-quality wine. The red wine liquid. After the ice plate below was stirred, a slight chill came out of the bottle, and water droplets came out one by one on the bottle wall, which made people unable to help but look at it.
Very greedy.
Du Wei breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to pinch the bottle, brought it to his mouth and took a sip. He sighed comfortably, and sighed slowly: "Okay... Sigh. I have been in the Northwest for so long, but why have I never been there?"
I thought of a way to enjoy it so well."
After saying that, he suddenly lifted up his robe. Under the magician's black robe, Du Wei had simply sealed the magic baggage that Gandolf gave to him on the inside of the robe, forming a pocket. The magic baggage was originally a
Storage props, in this way, the pocket in Du Wei's robe becomes a pocket with a huge storage space...
Hmm. Just like Doraemon, Du Wei couldn't help but smile.
He took it out of his pocket. It was nothing else, but an instrument.
The appearance of this instrument is such that even if all the musicians from the entire Roland continent come together, probably no one will be able to recognize it.
This piece jumps up and is about one meter long. It is crystal clear and has a total of eighteen strings. The whole body is dark red.
This, surprisingly, is a guzheng!
This thing was made by Du Wei in recent days by several musicians in Loulan City. Originally, there was no such thing on the Loulan continent. On this continent, when it comes to harps, the harp is the most popular. Fortunately, these
Most of the plucked instruments have the same characteristics. Du Wei explained it to the musicians again and again, and finally came up with three or five instruments. After trying them out, Du Wei picked out the one with the most beautiful sound.
At this moment, Du Wei turned over and sat up. The guzheng was laid flat in front of him. After gently stroking the strings with his hands, he moved his fingers lightly, and immediately a long note burst out...
How Du Wei knows how to play with this thing is not something that happens in this life.
In the world where he lived in his previous life, those cramming exam-oriented education made people speechless, but they still liked to make superficial remarks, that is, "If you become a bitch, you still need to build a memorial arch." It was obviously a cramming exam-oriented education, but every year, you would shout ""
The false and empty slogan "Quality Education" came up. As a result, the higher-ups above also set up several empty names as a cover. The biggest cover is that personal talents such as music, physical beauty, etc. can add points in the college entrance examination.
The euphemistic name is: comprehensive development.
It's just that the threshold is raised very high. For example, in music, unless you get the top spot in a regional provincial or municipal competition, good things like extra points will never be your turn. Just imagine such a high threshold.
How many people can benefit? Most people still endorse it honestly and do the stuff. The so-called quality education and all-round development are just a bitch's memorial.
Du Wei's past life was a strange one. He had learned guzheng since he was a child. Originally it was just a move forced by his parents, but somehow, he ended up among the top three in a city competition, and finally passed the college entrance examination as he wished.
I got some points and got into a good university.
It's just that guzheng is the most time-consuming thing. If you don't put in the effort, you will definitely not be able to practice it well. Moreover, this thing is not only heavy, but also highbrow. Although this thing looks elegant, in fact, Du Wei's previous life
There are really not many people who can understand it.
Du Wei was forced to practice guitar by his parents for several years when he was young. After college, he stopped doing this stuff. And... the most depressing thing is that those perverts among his classmates would just go and practice guitar for a few days.
He could carry it on his back and run to the girls' dormitory to play and sing, making those ignorant girls scream and cheer, and he also gained a reputation as a romantic talent.
But how can a guitar, a popular and simple instrument, be comparable to the guzheng? Back then, I saw a bunch of seniors and junior students randomly picking up broken guitars and randomly playing the song "Look at the Girl Opposite", and they were able to hook it.
The flirtatious looks from the girls made Du Wei secretly resentful: I practice guzheng, and this thing is heavy. I can't carry such a big guy downstairs in the girls' dormitory to show off, right?
If you really do this...I'm afraid you will be regarded as an idiot!
I've only seen boys playing guitar under the girls' dormitory, but I've never seen anyone setting up a guzheng to play.
Although I hate it, although Du Wei was slightly neglected in those years, he would still take it out and practice it during festivals. After all, although it was forced by his parents since elementary school, it has gradually become a habit.
After coming to this other world, I haven't touched it for so many years, but it suddenly came out in the past few days... not for anything else, but for the first one who came to trouble me... that dragon!
According to the news brought back by Hussein, the eldest son of the dragon clan leader has strong magical abilities, especially the dragon language magic. However, its weakness is nothing else... To sum it up simply,
That is two words:
Show off.
Not just anyone can do this pretending thing. If you do it well, it's called showing off. But if you don't do it well, you'll become a fool.
This dragon prince is the son of the clan leader and one of the most powerful magicians in the dragon clan, but he seems to be extremely obsessed with music.
I heard that this dragon once imitated the leader of the dragon clan, sneaked into the human world quietly, visited musicians all over the world, and was very good at the music of the human world, including the harp and organ.
This prince's obsession with music is an anecdote among the dragons. It is said that he is addicted to music as much as his life. He is especially good at playing the piano. This dragon is born with a different structure from humans. Each human palm has five fingers, but
This dragon clan is different. The ordinary red dragons and green dragons have two fingers, but the golden dragon, the king of the dragon clan, only has four fingers.
In terms of music, the four fingers are the best materials for playing the piano. It is said that the dragon clan was punished by the gods and guarded the sacred mountain to prevent the exiled races in the north from returning to the Roland continent. Those exiled races
, there are often some strong people who try to cross the area guarded by the dragons, but they often die in battle with the dragons.
This prince of the dragon clan has been sitting on the top of the sacred mountain all year round, watching the chilling cold wind in the north. In the midst of the murderous aura, he understood the rhythm of the music. After getting used to seeing life and death fighting, he had a glimmer of understanding, and often said:
He sat and looked at the north of the sacred mountain for a whole day, and even took out his piano to play. The sound made everyone in the dragon clan obsessed with it.
There was even one time when several adventurers from the exiled race in the north came to the foot of the sacred mountain. Before they even tried to cross the restricted area, they heard the prince's music. They had strange thoughts in their hearts and lost all hope, so they turned around and left at a distance.
From then on, this prince of the dragon clan got a nickname, known as the "King of Qin" among the dragon clan. Later, everyone felt that this "king" was not magical enough, so they simply upgraded it to another level and renamed it "Emperor of Qin".
Among the dragon clan, the Eight-fingered Qin Emperor may not be a master that every dragon can convince, but he is still respected by everyone.
The sunset gradually set, Du Wei held the piano and lowered his head in thought for a long time. He smiled softly on his face, and then suddenly his hands shook, and then the music floated, and an ancient piece of music came from his hands...
After not playing for many years, although his skills have become a lot rusty, he has regained a lot of his skills by playing every day these days. At this moment, Du Wei is not distracted, his fingers are light, and his right hand is holding, splitting, picking, wiping, ticking, and hooking.
Shake, pinch, etc., press with left hand, slide, rub, tremble... The sound of the piano is sometimes full of shaking, gradually agitated, and finally there seems to be a faint sound of wind in the sound of the piano! The sound of the wind is whistling, but it is not harsh, and it falls into people's hearts.
In my ears, I feel relaxed and happy, which makes people secretly excited!
This song "Fighting Typhoon" is one of the top ten famous songs of guzheng, and it was also one of Du Wei's favorite songs back then. Unlike most guzheng songs with their slow melody, this one has quite a Northwest style.
The taste of vastness.
After playing the song, when the last note was reached, Du Wei hooked his fingers, like an iron horse, and the howling of the wind suddenly stopped. Finally, Du Wei laughed, then shook his sleeves. He picked up the wine bottle next to him and raised his head.
After taking a big sip, he let out a long sigh, then faced the empty lake in front of him, and suddenly smiled lightly and said: "Since a distinguished guest has arrived, why don't you say anything? Is it because my piano music is rough and difficult for your ears?"
This question was asked lightly, as if it was an understatement.
But about ten meters away in front of Du Wei, the air seemed to suddenly distort, and then a figure slowly appeared. It was the strange guest who asked about Du Wei in the hotel in Loulan City. This person was at this moment
There was a hint of surprise on his face, and there was a hint of strangeness in his voice: "Yi? The Duke is indeed extraordinary. He can actually see the invisibility spell of my dragon clan?"
This person suddenly appeared. Du Wei's face was calm, but there was a hint of subtle strangeness in his eyes.
Damn it... do you really think that Master, I have seen through your invisibility technique?
Du Wei smiled secretly in his heart.
In fact, how could Du Wei have such ability? He was just showing off.
He has been sitting on this lake from morning to night for three full days. For these three days, he has been sitting on this ice plate every day. Although he looks elegant, he still has a thick cushion under his buttocks.
The leather cushions actually made Du Wei miserable!
The cold air under his buttocks has already made Duwei's buttocks numb from the cold. If this dragon doesn't come again... I'm afraid Duwei will suffer from hemorrhoids!
As for seeing through the dragon's invisibility? That's even more nonsense.
In fact, Du Wei has been sitting on the ice tray and playing the piano every day for the past three days. After every piece of music, he deliberately loudly said this sentence to the air incomprehensibly. This sentence: "Since a distinguished guest has arrived.
"To show off, Du Wei has deliberately said it to the air a hundred or two times in the past few days!
Sure enough, Du Wei really succeeded! The dragon looked at the young Duke sitting on the ice tray in surprise, really thinking that he had seen through his invisibility spell!
This young Duke... is not simple!
"What is this musical instrument in your hand? Why have I never seen it before?" Prince Long looked at Du Wei's guzheng with eager eyes.
Du Wei smiled sarcastically: "It's just a little trick I came up with for my own entertainment. Maybe your distinguished guests will hear it?"
The Dragon Prince couldn't help but be moved!
Did he create it himself?
Given its preference for human melodies, it is not difficult to hear it. The melodies of this guzheng have a unique style of their own. Whether it is fingering or style of music, they have completely formed a unique system. There is no sense of jerkiness!
He actually created this by himself? Looking at his young age, he actually still has such ability? His genius and attainments in music are far beyond the reach of his own dragon who has lived for hundreds of years!!
Du Wei's buttocks were frozen, but the lofty smile on his face did not retreat at all. Looking at the first prince of the dragon clan in front of him, he suddenly smiled softly and casually plucked the strings.
With a bang, a short and murderous note jumped out, and then Du Wei sighed softly: "Your distinguished guest is acting strangely, lurking here. Although your face is calm, there is murderous intent in your eyes...
You must know that although it is easy for people's ears and eyes to conceal it, this music is like the human heart and cannot be concealed... Sigh..."
After saying that, Du Wei suddenly stood up and pulled out a long sword from the magic bag in his arms.
The prince of the dragon clan smiled coldly and looked at Du Wei with a sword in his hand, but he was not afraid. It was one of the strongest among the dragon clan. Du Wei, let alone holding a sword in his hand, would not be able to do it even with a thousand troops.
In its eyes. But seeing Du Wei pull out his sword as soon as he said it, the Dragon Prince couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed...
Alas, it turns out that he has this kind of bearing?
The Dragon Prince couldn't help but feel disappointed. It just came lurking and heard Du Wei's song "Fighting Typhoon". You must know that this song "Fighting Typhoon" is a masterpiece that broke through the guzheng technique. It can be called a classic of its generation.
Although Du Wei had lost 50% to 60% of his previous skills, after all, there was no such thing as the guzheng in Loulan Continent.
The Dragon Prince, who loved music, was so happy to see that he was hunting, so he hid in the dark and did not take any action. After listening to the song, he was even more mesmerized! He felt that none of the music he had ever heard in his life could match the performance of this young duke.
In comparison! And what is rare is that this young Duke, sitting alone on an ice tray under the blue sky, clear water, and red clouds, plays a song, which is even more shocking! His lazy appearance is completely unpredictable, and his calm appearance
The courage is really heartbreaking!
The Dragon Prince is also a very knowledgeable person, but he feels that no one he has come into contact with in his life can compare with this young Duke in terms of magnanimity! He is truly elegant and mysterious to the extreme!
Even if such a person is his enemy, the Dragon Prince can't help but feel a little unbearable in his heart. It was originally a dragon that liked elegance, but now seeing a person like Du Wei with such grace, it really made the hostility in his heart
It has decreased a bit.
But after Du Wei finished speaking, he drew his sword, which was a bit more cliché and rude. The Dragon Prince frowned, feeling disappointed, but also a little more relaxed: Well, it turns out that he is nothing more than that.
, then I won’t feel too guilty if I take his life.
His expression changed, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, Du Wei suddenly raised his hand and struck a sword...
CRACK!!!!
But after seeing a ray of cold light, the guzheng in front of Du Wei was chopped into pieces with Du Wei's sword! Then Du Wei sighed, lifted the broken guzheng with both hands, and threw it into the lake along the edge of the ice plate.
…
When the Dragon Prince saw it, he couldn't help being surprised: "What are you doing! How could such a magical instrument be destroyed so rudely!"
Du Wei sighed quietly, turned around, looked at the red clouds on the horizon, the wind was light and the clouds were light, and said leisurely: "The rhythm of the piano is like the human heart, and the most unbearable thing is to be obsessed with the slightest dust. Once it touches the secular dust, it will be lost."
Clear... Alas, although my piano is good, it is stained with your murderous aura. The heart of the piano is already impure. How can I play a clear sound again? I don’t want this piano!"
When the Dragon Prince heard this, his face changed color unconsciously. He felt that this little boy was standing on the ice plate, looking at the sky, which really made him feel ashamed. The murderous intent in his eyes had unknowingly dissipated to the last bit.
Already...
I just feel that the Du Wei in front of me, no matter in terms of demeanor or god-like musical attainments, is really unparalleled among the characters I have seen! Especially when I saw Du Wei cut off with a sword
My own piano was lost at the bottom of the lake, but it was said that it was contaminated by my own murderous aura, and I couldn't help but feel a trace of guilt in my heart!
Compared to him...who am I?
At this moment, in its heart, how much of the original intention to take Du Wei's life and become an enemy of Du Wei was left?
Du Wei almost laughed to his heart's content, with a calm face, but secretly laughing in his heart: I've reached a certain level of pretense this time! Dragon Prince, Dragon Prince, are you still not fooled?
