Chapter 19: The Harmony of the Piano
"Ahem......"
Ning Caichen covered his neck and coughed violently, and when he heard An Yang's words of gritting his teeth, he couldn't help but be scared, and quickly closed his mouth.
At this moment, there was a terrible scream outside, followed by the sound of the door of the main hall being slammed open.
Anyang knew that the Xiahou swordsman who had just competed with Yan Chixia had already been killed, no matter how high your martial arts were, there was only one way to die if you couldn't resist Nie Xiaoqian's temptation, and the sound of the door opening should be Yan Chixia going out!
Ning Caichen was even more frightened, his eyes were full of horror, he looked at An Yang for help, and whispered, "An ...... Brother Anyang, what's going on? ”
An Yang said coldly: "Dead! ”
Ning Caichen was shocked again, the roots of his neck were cold, thinking that if he was discovered, he couldn't help but be afraid for a while, and was very grateful to Anyang for just pulling him back, and said: "Thank you Brother Anyang, thank you Brother Anyang for saving my life!" ”
An Yang snorted coldly and continued: "Remember, if you dare to disobey again, I will kill you!" ”
Ning Caichen didn't mind his rudeness, he just nodded vigorously: "Surely, I will sleep right away, and live up to Brother Anyang's good intentions." ”
"I hope you do what you say, don't dare to blame me for being unkind!"
After An Yang finished speaking, he turned around and left.
And Ning Caichen still looked at his back, and sighed in his heart-
Brother Anyang is really a good person.
Who said that the roads in Guobei County are full of thieves, isn't it that the last one was killed halfway through the collection, I met a good person, God bless!
Well, it's just a bit rough.
"Bang."
When the door was closed, Ning Caichen hurriedly blew out the candlelight, nested in the corner of the wall and didn't dare to move, seeing everything outside like a figure who came to take his life, his heart became more and more afraid.
An Yang returned to the room, fanned off the dust in front of him with his hand, looked up at the mezzanine above his head, frowned and did not speak.
He remembered that there should be a lot of dried corpses on it, all of them were people who had been sucked dry by the thousand-year-old dryad before, I don't know if it was this one, or if there were in every room, but it didn't matter, these dried corpses would not wake up easily without being stimulated by blood.
Suddenly, there was a faint chant outside, the sound was soft and pleasant, accompanied by a faint sound of the piano, tossing and turning, echoing endlessly, and there was a kind of temptation that attracted people's hearts.
An Yang opened his eyes, pushed open the door and walked out, first walked to the next door and warned Ning Caichen not to go out, then stood on the railing and looked from afar, only to see a small pavilion on the lake in the distance, which was brightly lit and light gauze curtains, as if there was a woman sitting in the pavilion, stroking the piano with both hands and singing alone.
Nie Xiaoqian!
An Yang shook his head, returned to the room and closed the door, he could only say that he was not afraid of Nie Xiaoqian now, but he was still unwilling to take the initiative to provoke, after all, what he wanted to do was diametrically opposed to Nie Xiaoqian's wishes, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was the opposite.
Preventing Ning Caichen from getting acquainted with Nie Xiaoqian and Yan Chixia is also to make it more convenient for him to complete his task, with one less resistance, and it also prevents Ning Caichen from persuading Yan Chixia to help Nie Xiaoqian reincarnate.
At least for now, Yan Chixia has a better relationship with him.
Not long after, there was another knock on his door.
"This scholar really doesn't know what to do!"
An Yang frowned, his face sank suddenly, he got up and walked to the door and opened the door, but he saw a woman in white costume, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Xiao Qian!"
Nie Xiaoqian was also stunned and said, "Prince Anyang, why haven't you left yet!" Didn't I tell you to get out of here? ”
An Yang was silent and said, "It's raining outside during the day today, plus my ...... I said I'd play a tune for you, so I stayed. ”
Nie Xiaoqian was greatly moved, and she wanted to speak again, and finally said: "Prince Anyang, you are a righteous gentleman, but you ...... Why do you bother? ”
An Yang didn't answer, pretended to look left and right, and said, "Hey, by the way, Miss Xiaoqian, what are you doing here in this barren mountain and wilderness?" ”
"I ......"
Nie Xiaoqian couldn't speak, did she want to tell An Yang that she was here to seduce a man to suck the blood of the thousand-year-old tree demon, but in the end she had to tear away the topic and look at him unbearably: "You better go quickly, don't stay here!" ”
An Yang didn't care, and said: "How can this work, I went back last night and thought about it, that piece is indeed more suitable for the dong flute, and it can only be played for a long time to play its artistic conception, I don't know if the little girl brought the hole flute, I will play a song for the little girl!" ”
Nie Xiaoqian said: "No, I'm leaving, you can do it yourself tonight, you must leave tomorrow." ”
An Yang pushed open the door and looked down, and said, "I just saw someone playing the piano in the Huxin Pavilion, it must be Miss Xiaoqian, why don't we have a piano Xiao Heming?" ”
Nie Xiaoqian's face was embarrassed, she was a seducer herself, but now it is rare to meet a good person, but she can't bear to hurt his life, so she has to refuse in various ways.
"No need, there's a murderer living down here, and if he hears it, he'll come up and kill us."
The corners of An Yang's eyes twitched, he never expected that the original plot used Nie Xiaoqian to deceive scholar Ning Caichen's words actually used on him!
"Xiaoqian, don't be afraid, Brother Yan is my friend, I will definitely not hurt you, if you are scared again, it's a big deal that I'll tell you a story tonight!"
Nie Xiaoqian looked at him in a daze, only really regarded him as a scholar who didn't understand anything, hesitated, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go down to fetch the piano, but the dong flute is in my house, you have to wait a little longer, if the murderer comes up, I will leave again." ”
An Yang nodded, and said with a smile: "Xiaoqian, you have to hurry, the good night is short." ”
Nie Xiaoqian lowered her head shyly, and soon opened the door and left, but after a while, she came back again, holding a black guqin in her hand and a hole flute.
An Yang continued to pretend to be stupid, and said in surprise: "So fast? ”
Nie Xiaoqian's beautiful eyes turned lightly and said, "Oh, there is a shortcut from my house here, and I will come over faster." ”
Looking at the distance between the back mountain and here and the center of the lake, I thought that only a stupid scholar like Ning Caichen would believe this statement, but An Yang still chose to believe it, took the dong flute, and said, "So that's the case." ”
Nie Xiaoqian nodded, but paid careful attention to Yan Chixia, and hummed softly, like a coquettish voice wheezing.
Soon, Xiao sounded, and the piano sounded.
Since graduating from college, he has been smoothed out by reality, and he has lost his dreams and moods, Anyang has long identified himself as a layman, he really doesn't like musical instruments, especially Xiao, who is very bad to say.
But in the melodious and poignant Xiao voice, he looked at Nie Xiaoqian, who was self-pitying and eyebrows in front of him, and couldn't help but think of the plot in the original Chinese Ghost Story.
Nie Xiaoqian in the original plot was lonely and frustrated, and was forced to do what she didn't want to do every day, until a scholar named Ning Caichen appeared, which easily touched her heart and made her fall in love in just a few days.
Thinking of this, An Yang's heart was suddenly sudden, his hand shook, and Xiao Sheng stopped abruptly!
Unknowingly, he actually took Ning Caichen's place!
It's just that Ning Caichen moved Nie Xiaoqian with a series of kind actions, but he was a simple painting, a flute song and an untold story......
By the way, there are still short words, but he is a person who has watched A Chinese Ghost Story many times, and he has long been familiar with the three characters in it, just like Yan Chixia, every word of this sentence has entered Nie Xiaoqian's heart.
Nie Xiaoqian pressed her hands on the strings and asked softly, "Why did you stop suddenly?" ”
An Yang shook his head: "It's nothing." ”
He held up the flute, but his eyes flickered.
This is a woman with a tragic background and an even more tragic experience, a woman who dares to be annihilated for love at all costs, a woman who is pitiful, and a woman who is poignant in her heart and amazing in appearance.
He had thought about directly attracting Yan Chixia, or getting the Diamond Sutra from Yan Chixia, beating Nie Xiaoqian to the point of being scattered, and directly completing the task in the simplest and most effective way, but now it seems that how he can do it!
The hole flute is already long, and it is more and more sad at this time.
That's it, the innocent person will let him continue to be innocent, the miserable person will let her continue to be miserable, and the best way to complete the task is still the best way, unless it is absolutely necessary, it is better not to take this step, not to mention that he still wants to get more benefits in this world, and completing the task too quickly is not conducive to this.
In the main hall of Lanruo Temple, Yan Chixia opened her eyes, listened attentively for a moment, and her brows suddenly furrowed.
"The sound of this piano doesn't seem to come from the back mountain, it's upstairs, how can there be the sound of the dong flute, is it the little brother of Anyang?"
"Little brother Anyang is really bold, he can make peace with a female ghost, but he won't be unable to resist the temptation."
A moment later, the Xuanyuan Divine Sword suddenly came out of its sheath-
"No, I've got to go up and have a look!"
As soon as An Yang put down the dong flute, Nie Xiaoqian also removed her hand from the strings, leaving a slight trilling sound that still echoed in the room, but she only heard a sentence coming from below-
"Oh, that female ghost, don't you get off for the uncle!"
Nie Xiaoqian's expression changed!
An Yang turned his head to look out the door, and when he turned back, the room was empty, the dim candlelight was flickering, and the window on the left was opening and shaking.
He hurriedly ran over, closed the window, and ran to the right to open the window on this side, waiting for Yan Chixia's arrival.
"Bang."
The door was opened, and Yan Chixia saw the open window on the right side of the room at a glance, and immediately wanted to chase it out, but was stopped by An Yang.
"Brother Yan, what are you doing here?"
Yan Chixia turned around, her eyes were crossed, and she said loudly: "This demon girl has not left for so long, there must be some plan, I am afraid that you will not be able to resist the temptation!" ”
Anyang said: "It's okay, believe me, I can stop it, Brother Yan, go back." ”
Yan Chixia's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said, "No, these demons and monsters have ignored my existence and actually harmed people in front of me, I must give them a little warning!" ”
After saying that, he rushed to the open window with an arrow step, and jumped down!
