At this moment, a flying boat suddenly came forward. There were five or six well-dressed men standing on it, carrying long bows on their backs, single quivers hanging on their waists, and wearing dark black cloaks. A fierce aura rushed towards them.
When I saw this painted boat, I immediately sailed to welcome it.
Lan Fenghuang suddenly made a few gestures to them, and those people bowed their hands and immediately turned the bow of the ship and sailed elsewhere.
After walking for dozens of feet, the boat then rounded a hill. Suddenly, a small lake with a radius of dozens of acres came into view.
Li Mu stood on the bow of the boat and looked around. He saw lotuses blooming on the lake. The lotus leaves were like umbrellas and covered with crystal water drops, which dyed the lake green, like a huge emerald.
.
A gust of breeze blew, covering the lake with a layer of gauze like cicada wings, which was so beautiful.
Li Mu secretly admired that it would be quite leisurely to go boating on the lake and drink wine while enjoying the moonlight.
There is a small island in the middle of the lake, a water pavilion was built, and a nine-curved bamboo bridge connected to the lake shore.
The boat arrived at a hexagonal pavilion by the lake. Under the pavilion was a small bluestone pier. The boat docked and Li Mu followed Lan Fenghuang off the boat.
Lan Fenghuang led Li Mu to the bamboo bridge and extended her hand to invite him. When she saw Li Mu getting on the bamboo bridge, she giggled and returned to the boat.
Li Mu dusted off his sleeves and walked up the bamboo bridge to the Water Pavilion in the center of the lake.
This water pavilion is surrounded by water and is several feet high. It appears and disappears under the mist of water vapor.
Li Mu walked along the bamboo bridge. His steps were even, like a floating cloud. He didn't panic when he rose or fell.
At this time, there were wisps of piano music coming to my ears, melodious and melodious, like a clear spring flowing slowly. Sometimes it was high and exciting, like the sea water lapping at the coast, sometimes it was low and crisp, like the gentle breeze blowing through the bamboo forest.
The sound of the piano changes faster and faster, as slow as a flowing spring, as fast as a waterfall, as crisp as pearls, and as low as a whisper, just like the sound of nature.
The sound of the piano harmonized with the sound of footsteps, and with a clear clang, the sound of the piano suddenly stopped. Li Mu's heart also jumped, and he gradually came back to his senses. At this time, he happened to cross the bamboo bridge and walked in front of the water pavilion.
Li Mu only felt that his inner breath became a little rounder as it progressed. He was surprised in his heart. He expected that what he just heard must be the "Pure Heart and Universal Good Mantra", which could have such a silent effect of nourishing the body and mind.
There were two maids in white standing in front of the attic. When they saw Li Mu, they expressed a deep blessing and opened the door to the attic.
The pavilion is quite spacious, with long windows on both sides. The windows are raised high and covered with green gauze curtains, fluttering in the breeze.
Li Mu nodded secretly. This place is surrounded by water, the wind is gentle and the clouds are gentle, and there is no obstruction. Playing the piano here, even without using any internal force, is enough to spread the music within a hundred feet.
Through several layers of gauze curtains, Li Mu vaguely saw a woman in snow clothes sitting in front of the desk. Her face was covered with a layer of black gauze, and her hair was covered with black silk, decorated with purple jade tassels. Her every frown and smile gave off a feeling of empty mountains and deep valleys.
gas.
There was a Yao Qin placed on the table in front of her, with the Phoenix Tail of Heshan Mountain and the Foot of Longchi Wild Goose. It was a brilliant and shining ancient Qin, which was obviously a rare ancient Qin in the world.
Under the long window in the pavilion, there is a tea set, and the clear spring is being cooked in the stove. White steam is rising, and the water has boiled. Two maids Yu Li Mu made tea, lit sandalwood, and a thousand blessings came from afar.
Retreat.
There was a sudden silence in the attic. The two looked at each other and were speechless for a while.
Ren Yingying is best at seeing people from the smallest details. From the moment Li Mu entered the water pavilion, she listened carefully to the sound of his footsteps. She felt that this person's steps were neither light nor heavy, neither slow nor hasty, as smooth and leisurely as flowing clouds and flowing water. Each step was far and near, and the force was strong.
The weight, pace and rhythm are exactly the same.
She had only seen this kind of situation with her father back then. She knew that this was a symptom of advanced martial arts training, which appeared naturally. Maybe he didn't even notice it. Looking at this person's age, even though he had already
Knowing this, I couldn't help but feel a sense of shock in my heart.
Ren Yingying didn't say anything, and Li Mu didn't say anything. He picked up a cup of clear tea and stood by the window.
For a long time, only a long and faint sigh was heard, and Ren Yingying whispered: "Why don't you speak, Master?" This voice was round and round, like pearls falling on the plate, crisp, soft, and indescribable.
Li Mu put the tea cup on the table, turned around and said, "Didn't the girl invite me here?"
Ren Yingying laughed and said: "I think the young master is reluctant, as if I am forcing you. How about I play the piano first and ask the young master to taste it?"
Li Mu sat down at a random table and said, "Please!"
Ren Yingying said nothing, stretched out her lush green jade fingers, leaned over slightly, raised her jade fingers lightly, and brushed the surface of the piano. A wisp of light sound gradually flowed out from her fingers. At first, it was clear and flying, but then it was peaceful and tranquil.
It rises and falls, is deep and gentle yet passionate, like the tinkling of spring water and the chirping of birds.
Every time you drop your fingers and every time the strings move, the simple and elegant Yao Qin seems to resonate, and the sound becomes more soul-stirring, giving people a sense of harmony between people and the Qin.
When Li Mu heard this, he could only feel the lingering sound in his ears, like flowing water, which made people feel relaxed and happy, and had endless aftertaste. He had to sigh that Ren Yingying's profound attainments in piano had reached the level of proficiency. Although he was not as good as Qu Yang, given time, he could
Hard to say.
But gradually the sound of the piano lost its initial brightness, and the tune gradually became deeper and deeper, with a faint hint of sadness.
Li Mu was stunned. As the saying goes, love comes from the heart. Although Ren Yingying lost her father, as a holy aunt, she held a high and powerful position, and she usually talked about everything, but she could feel such a desolate feeling.
I saw that her fingers fell like a flying dragon, and her fingers rose like light clouds. When they rose and fell, they were like flowing clouds and flowing water, completely natural, and the tune also turned into melancholy. The sound of the piano became more bleak, lingering and pathos. Like a wanderer missing his parents, and children missing their parents in the high hall, like a lonely wild goose in the south.
fly.
As the sound of the piano fell, only a faint voice was heard. Ren Yingying stroked her ears and asked: "Young Master seems to be a person who loves music. How did I play just now? Please give me some advice."
Li Mu said: "The girl's piano music is like floating clouds and flowing water, with lingering lingering notes and endless aftertaste. It is naturally excellent. But there is a sense of desolation in your piano music."

Li Mu smiled and said, "I can guess a little bit."
Ren Yingying's eyes flashed, and she said meaningfully: "Now that I know my identity, as a disciple of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, I still dare to come here, without fear of spreading the word and getting into trouble."
Li Mu chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter if you're afraid or not, are you going to tell this matter on purpose?"
Ren Yingying's voice changed and she said: "Why don't I dare to say it? The Wuyue disciples secretly associate with the divine sect, but it is a big strange news. Aren't you afraid?"
Li Mu laughed and said: "Why should I be afraid? The girl must really dare to say it. The girl should be the one who is afraid. Think about how the devil's sect's holy aunt actually met a disciple of the Five Sacred Mountains secretly. What will the devil's sect think? If it is rumored,
In the ears of my elders from the Wuyue Sword Sect, everyone has heard that the rumors are spread by the Demon Cult, and it is hard to say that the traitors of the Demon Cult are really treacherous, and they even use such devious tactics to sow discord."
Seeing that he was involved in her family, Ren Yingying's face turned cold and she snorted coldly: "I can do whatever I want. Who in the church dares to talk? It's you who are hypocritical and righteous, hypocritical and treacherous like ghosts. You
Say they don't doubt you, and they won't doubt you anymore. Liu Zhengfeng is a lesson learned from the past."
Li Mu shook his head and said with a smile: "Looking at the girl's tone, am I here in the wrong place today? Should I sternly refuse and call her a witch?"
Ren Yingying hesitated for a moment after hearing the words, and then said after a while: "You are right to come here today. I am just discussing the matter and I can't stand those hypocritical people in the righteous way."
Hearing this, Li Mu chuckled and said: "Young lady, what you said is wrong. Although there are some scum in my righteous way, there are at least more good people than your demon sect. Girls, you can't sit in a well and look at the sky. Besides, in the world! Strength is respected, as long as your martial arts is high enough,
No one dares to label you randomly, so you don’t need to worry about this."
Although Ren Yingying felt that these words made some sense, the person's tone made her quite unhappy, and she felt a little angry in her heart. With a pretty face, she said in a cold voice: "Your Excellency, are you so confident?"
Li Mu laughed and said: "At least he must be better than the girl."
Ren Yingying's face showed an angry look, and she suppressed it for a moment. She suddenly let out a long sigh and stood up. Li Mu saw a graceful figure standing tall, and a pair of cold eyes gradually melted away. She suddenly raised her head and looked up.
Li Mu said: "Sir, since you can guess my identity, do you know who my father is?"
Li Mu gave him a rather strange look and said, "Miss Ren is the former director of the Demon Cult and my rich daughter. I still know that?"
A trace of surprise flashed in Ren Yingying's eyes, she gently brushed the gauze curtain with her hand, and suddenly said: "The Divine Cult was looking for someone in Hengshan a few days ago. I heard that you were also there?"
Li Mu nodded and said, "It's just the right time!"
Ren Yingying asked again: "Do you know who was arrested?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "As a holy girl from the Demon Cult, how can you not know this? Why do you need to ask me?"
Ren Yingying's expression changed when she heard this, and returned to normal in the blink of an eye. She still asked softly: "Xiang Zuo Shi... did he say anything to you?"
Li Mu picked up the tea cup, took a sip and said, "We talked a lot and even had two fights. I just don't know what the girl asked?"
Ren Yingying's eyes narrowed and she spoke after a long while: "Has he ever told you anything related to my father?"
Li Mu said thoughtfully: "He didn't even mention the leader Ren, he just wanted me to help him with something!"
Ren Yingying's face tightened and she asked: "What's the matter?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "Xiang Zuo wants me to help him rescue someone. After the promise is fulfilled, you can lend me your demon sect's magical power to suppress the religion for a few days. Is that okay?"
Ren Yingying's face changed again. She lowered her head and thought for a long time before saying, "Although Xiang Zuo is unruly and unruly, he is also very measured in his actions. He will never say this without reason. Do you know who he wants to save?"
Li Mu saw Ren Yingying's expression of confusion and confusion, but also a bit of hope. He couldn't say anything more, so he could only shake his head and said, "Zuo Zuo never mentioned this."
Ren Yingying frowned and suddenly said: "Then did you agree?" Her voice was a little trembling.
Li Mu's eyes narrowed and he asked: "He is the left envoy of the Demon Sect, and I am a disciple of the Five Sacred Mountains. Do you think Miss Ren thinks I will agree?"
Ren Yingying trembled, lowered her head, and murmured after a long while: "Why don't you agree?"
Li Mu said: "Why do you agree? Does Miss Ren know who the person you want to save is?"
Ren Yingying's expression tightened and she paced for a few steps before gradually calming down and sighing faintly: "So what if I know who it is? Since you didn't agree, sir, it's useless to say anything."
When she said this, she suddenly changed her tone and said: "Yingying is very sorry for disturbing the young master today, so I won't see you off. Young Master, please come back!"
Hearing this, Li Mu took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said, "Take care, Miss Ren, and say goodbye!" Then he turned around and left.
When Ren Yingying saw that Li Mu had left the pavilion door, she couldn't help but feel a tremble in her heart when she thought of her father. She took a few steps forward. As soon as she reached the gauze curtain, she hesitated again. She couldn't help but stop again and opened the gauze curtain.
Feet, he called softly: "Master, please walk slowly, Yingying still has something to ask me!"
Li Mufang walked out of the pavilion door, paused when he heard the words, turned around, and opened the gauze curtain with one hand, revealing Ren Yingying's figure. Although she was covered with a black scarf, she could still see that her face was somewhat clear.
reduce.
"Master, do you know where the person Xiangzuo wants to save is?"
Li Mu shook his head and said: "I haven't mentioned it until now!"
She saw a sad smile on her face, as if she had expected it, and then asked: "Does the young master know where Xiang Zuozhi is now?"
Li Mu sighed with a puff of sleeves: "Xiang Zuo Shi and I just met by chance, and we never agreed to help him. How could he leave his whereabouts with me? If the girl sends the order, it will not be difficult to find Xiang Zuo Shi's traces."
Ren Yingying smiled miserably again, and after a long time she said: "Although I am a holy lady of the divine religion, and I seem to have a high position, if I am told anything, they will do it, but after all, there are some things that even I have to avoid.
"
Li Mu suddenly raised his head and looked up at the blue sky, seeing the white clouds drifting endlessly.
"Nine times out of ten things will go wrong as you wish. The girl's current status has made many others envious. There is no need to be too persistent?"
Ren Yingying sighed in a low voice: "I know my status and I am many times stronger than other women. So what is there to be dissatisfied about? It's just that as a son of a human being, there are some things that I have to do even if I know I can't do them."
Li Mu shook his head. Dongfang Bubai ignored the teaching affairs and only focused on Yang Lianting. He had no ambition to dominate the world. The Demon Sect has had very few disputes with the Righteous Way in recent years, which is actually quite good.
If the ambitious man Ren Woxing is released, it will not be certain.
Seeing that Li Mu was silent, Ren Yingying opened her mouth but continued to ask for help without saying anything.
After sighing for a long time, he said: "Sir, I heard that you have the song "Swordsman" written by Elder Qu and Liu Zhengfeng. Can you take a look? The last time I sent someone to invite you, it was for this purpose."
Li Mu smiled and said, "Why not? This piece of music is in my hand like pearls covered with dust. I will get it for the girl in the afternoon!"
Ren Yingying said: "Thank you, Master. I will play the piano again to see you off..." After saying this, she turned around, walked leisurely back to the table and sat down in front of the table.
