When Ji Xu heard this, he quickly smiled: "Hahaha, Master Lichen is right!"
"It's me who's impatient, it's me who's impatient~"
After speaking, he stroked the Prison Ox Cauldron, and the enthusiasm in his eyes became more intense.
Li Chen thought to himself that the time had come, so he approached the cauldron like he was listening.
After a moment, he said: "It's as tall as Mount Tai."
"As vast as a river~"
When Ji Xu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "It's "High Mountains and Flowing Waters", "High Mountains and Flowing Waters"!"
"It's as tall as Mount Tai."
"As vast as a river~"
"In Boya's childhood, it's hard to find a close friend!"
As he spoke, Ji Xu had already summoned the guqin and was eager to try it.
But Li Chen sighed softly: "To perform this music, you need to be still while moving, and be on the side of the water."
"Get stillness amidst movement, by the side of the water?"
Ji Xu immediately thought of the pool in the center of Huanhua Tower.
"Hahaha, very good, very good."
In Ji Xu's heart, this arrangement was God's will.
But Li Chen sneered in his heart.
Zhugewei once revealed the word "water" to himself before.
Most likely, it refers to the large pool in the middle of Huanhua Tower.
But if you want to get close to the pool, you must first pass through the middle barrier.
That's why Li Chen deliberately went to great lengths to guide Ji Xu with music.
As expected, Ji Xu was overjoyed and asked Cao Chengmu to remove the barrier.
After Cao Chengmu hesitated for a while, he could only ask Huanhua Tower to remove the barrier.
The monks only felt a flash before their eyes.
The barrier that originally covered the middle has disappeared.
Ji Xu put away the Prison Ox Cauldron and took the lead, directly coming to the pool.
"Find stillness amidst movement, by the side of the water."
“There’s no better place than here!”
Ji Xu was in a good mood. After lightly laughing, he hugged the guqin and sat cross-legged.
Ding dong~
The slender fingertips passed by, the strings vibrated, and the faint sound echoed. The Huanhua Building, which used to be extremely noisy, is now like a child discovering a new world.
It sat quietly next to the pool, transforming into an intoxicated bystander.
Ji Xu devoted himself wholeheartedly to the guqin in front of him, his expression was indifferent, as if he was a different person.
Once upon a time, he was a carefree child.
Since coming to this world, I have never seen my mother.
The maids said that his mother had been relegated to the cold palace.
What is the cold palace?
A very cold palace?
Ji Xu was troubled by this problem for a long time when he was a child.
Therefore, his mother is a stranger to him.
Of course, so does my father.
A little better than a stranger, barely a passerby.
In short, they are far from as good as the palace maid beside them.
Caihe has been taking care of Ji Xu since he was born.
So Ji Xu has a special dependence on her.
In my memory, Caihe always combed her hair into two round buns and tied them with two rose-red ribbons.
Whenever she ran, the ribbon on her bun would dance lightly behind her.
That was probably the most beautiful memory of Ji Xu’s childhood.
Caihe liked music. She often hid behind stone pillars and secretly listened to Luo Fei playing the piano.
Sometimes I can't help but make plucking movements in the void.
Ji Xu thought it was funny.
But unknowingly, I also fell in love with music.
When he grew up, he began to attend elementary school in the palace. ("Zhou Li": When he entered elementary school at the age of eight, Bao Shi taught Guo Zi, first with the Six Books.")
He didn't pay much attention to the Six Books and the like, but he had a special liking for music.
Whenever he learned a new piece of music, he would return to his residence and teach it to Caihe.
"Mountains and Flowing Waters", "Goose Falling on the Flat Sand", "Guangling San", "Three Lanes of Plum Blossoms"...
Everything is enjoyable, everything is enjoyable.
During that time Ji Xu felt like he was living in a dream.
Happiness, contentment.
However, there is always a time to wake up from a dream.
That day, it was sunny and windy.
He and Caihe played the piano together as usual.
Hearts and minds are connected, mountains and rivers flow.
Inexplicable emotions filled Ji Xu's heart.
The tinkling sound of the piano added a lot of life to the desolate courtyard.
It's just that... there is an extra passerby at the door of the small courtyard.
On this day, his father, who had not seen Ji Xu for a long time, suddenly appeared in the small courtyard for the first time.
The sun fell on Caihe's body, giving off a faint divine light.
Lively, smart and pretty.
Astonished.
Father and son are always very similar, including aesthetically.
So the next day, Caihe was picked up by the eunuchs in the palace.
Ji Xu didn't want her to leave and wanted her to stay by his side and play the piano.
But Caihe said: "It's hard to violate destiny."
Is it hard to violate destiny?
Young Ji Xu finally had his third concern - 'Destiny'.
The first two are ‘Leng Gong’ and ‘Zhiyin’.
From that day on, the sound of the piano never sounded again in the courtyard.
Later, I heard from the new palace maid that "Caihe" had changed her name to "Concubine Concubine".
She became the woman of ‘destiny’.
At that moment, something seemed to be broken in Ji Xu's heart.
Are they the strings of a ‘bosom friend’?
Ji Xu doesn't know.
He only knew that a seed called "destiny" was planted in his heart.
…
In Huanhua Tower, Ji Xu was concentrating on playing the guqin.
He seemed to have become one with the guqin in front of him, and his whole person exuded an inexplicable energy.
Only then did Li Chen understand why Ji Xu said before that he had become energetic.
It turned out that it was not because of the Prison Niuding, but because of the ordinary Guqin in his arms.
Maybe he didn't even notice it himself.
The priceless prison ox tripod is actually not as important as the guqin.
The music was so melodious that even the surrounding Moon Shadow Guards were mesmerized by it.
But Li Chen didn't have the intention to continue admiring it, and instead came to the side of the Prisoner's Ox Cauldron.
Moon Shadow Guard glanced at him, but had no doubts.
Upon seeing this, Li Chen clasped his hands together, and the monks understood and began to approach the pool.
Finally, the monks saw Li Chen nodded and immediately ran towards the pool in unison!
Plop! Plop!
Only then did Moon Shadow Guard react: "Dark curse!"
"Certainly!"
The little monk Ying Hui who walked at the end was a step too late after all.
When he was immobilized by the 'dark curse', he was still half a step away from the pool.
Upon seeing this, Li Chen flew up and kicked him into the water.
But he heard a voice: "Ding!"
With just one word, Li Chen felt as if he was shrouded in a shadow.
All the muscles in his body were frozen, unable to move at all.
Fortunately, the true energy in his body was not affected, and he secretly used the formula "Inviting the Shadow in the Moon".
The next moment, Li Chen felt happy.
It worked.
When Cao Chengmu saw him trying to break free, he couldn't help laughing: "You don't know your own capabilities!"
"No one can escape from the 'dark curse' of my Moon Shadow City!"
Before he finished speaking, the figure in front of him suddenly disappeared.
When Li Chen appeared again, he was already standing next to the Prisoner Ox Cauldron.
Cao Chengmu was shocked and realized this time.
Li Chen smiled, and without giving the other party any time, he directly picked up the 'Prison Ox Cauldron' and jumped into the pool.
"boom!"
At this time, a harsh piano sound suddenly sounded.
But Ji Xu finally woke up from the music.
"You dare!"
He threw away his guqin and turned into a bolt of lightning and struck towards Li Chen.
