The long sky of Qingming

This is the cleansing mantra carved by Lin Tao. It is a simple piece of wood. The lines on it are drawn smoothly and clearly, revealing a sense of coolness, but it is difficult for Yi Yao to calm down.

At this moment, the door was pushed open by someone, and Yi Yao was startled suddenly. His body was instantly awake, and the spiritual power in his body was circulating rapidly. He appeared to be ignorant on the surface, but inside he was ready for battle.

After all, he has lived in Tianshui Zuixing Pavilion for many years, and no one has ever slipped in under Yiyao's nose. He will inevitably forget that the real owner of Tianshui Zuixing Pavilion has returned. Tao had already walked in from the outer room, and saw Yi Yao lying on the bed at a glance.

"come over."

Lin Tao was not polite at all, Yi Yao got up obediently, and moved to Lin Tao's side, before he could say anything, a porcelain bottle was stuffed into his hand, and Lin Tao's voice sounded from above his head: "Take care of the wound on your mouth. If Lu Jingzong saw your appearance, he would think that I abused you. Tsk, trouble."

The aura of pills is easy to leak, and the porcelain bottles used are engraved with simple formations, which feel a bit cool to hold, but are very comfortable. Yi Yao subconsciously squeezed the small porcelain bottle, and looked at Lin Tao in a daze.

"Silly?"

Lin Tao squeezed Yiyao's face, the pain finally brought Yiyao's consciousness back, he took the small porcelain bottle, cupped his hands at Lin Tao, and said politely, "Thank you, brother."

In his memory, when Yiyao hadn't thanked him so seriously, Lin Tao felt a little strange, but there was nothing wrong with this happening to Yiyao. He was originally the prince of a small country, and his etiquette and upbringing were the best in Qing Mingzong. , except for Lin Tao, Yiyao is estranged and polite to everyone, and now he doesn't remember the past, so it's normal for such an incident to happen.

But Lin Tao didn't quite get used to it. He frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything after all. He sized up Yiyao's room, and finally set his sights on the cleansing mantra he just took out, thinking that Yiyao was Practicing engraving.

"The most important thing about a spell is enlightenment. Only when you have a clear mind can you write without stagnation. Your mind is unstable now. It's too late to practice too much. Take care of your hands first."

This sudden concern almost made Yi Yao think that he was dreaming, but since he woke up until now, his psychological process has undergone several twists and turns, and the thought sank after just one turn. He raised a bright smile, as if letting go Fake child: "Hmm! I see."

Lin Tao didn't realize that he was there. Originally, he came here to talk to Yiyao, but Yiyao didn't cry or make a fuss. He forgot what happened to him. After thinking about it for a while, he didn't think about it. It felt strange to just leave like this. Strangely, he said: "Since I have returned to Qing Mingzong, the matter of cultivation is up to you, Lu Jing, and you will not disturb my purity if you have nothing to do."

Yi Yao lowered his eyes: "Yes."

The suddenly rambunctious little bastard suddenly settled down, but Lin Tao felt bored, and left without saying anything else.

Yi Yao stood holding the small porcelain bottle like this for half a day, until the rippling blue water light in Tianshui Drunken Star Pavilion was replaced by a night sky, the stars were shining brightly, and the starlight mixed with thin aura sprinkled down, Yi Yao came back to his senses like an electric shock .

For half a day, he didn't know what he was thinking, so he stuffed the small bottle in his arms and went out.

Tianshui Zuixing Pavilion has more than one courtyard, but the Qing Mingzong "has a vast land and few people". The disciples of Yiyao's generation were all occupied by one or two people. Here in the warehouse.

There was no light in the warehouse, and there was a large sphere of light hanging in the middle, reflecting each other with the magic circle engraved on the ground, emitting soft light, and brightly illuminating the room, so Yi Yao could see the piles of light at a glance. The pile of sundries beside the pillar were exactly those thrown away by Lin Tao.

Shi Lele was well aware of Lin Tao's "hoarding" attribute, so he didn't dare to really throw these things out, so he received them here. Anyway, the really useful things in this warehouse would not be put on the bright side. It's okay to put the sundries here.

Yi Yao breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, and rummaged through the pile of things. His movements were somewhat casual at first, but his expression changed after a while.

Why not here?

Yi Yao frowned tightly, if he really didn't care, it would be fine, but now he came to look for it irresistibly, but he didn't see the jade pipa at all, he searched for it several times unwillingly, but there was nothing.

He clearly remembered that Lin Tao threw out the jade pipa together!

Yi Yao expanded the scope of his search, searched the entire warehouse, but still found nothing, and boldly went to Lin Tao's house to search around, his face became more and more ugly, where did he go? !

It is impossible for Tianshui Zuixing Pavilion to cause thieves, Yi Yao thought for a moment, and decided to go to Shi Lele, maybe she begged for the things - if there is one person in Qing Mingzong that Lin Tao will never hurt, Then it can only be Shi Lele, and that's why Lu Jingzong wisely asked Shi Lele to go to Demon Realm to find someone.

With this thought in mind, Yi Yao couldn't wait for a moment, and ran to Ziying Peak, but he didn't know that what he was looking for was in Lin Tao's hands right now.

Originally, Lin Tao was also on a whim, thinking that Yiyao's abnormal behavior today was probably because the things he threw away were of great significance, so he just took a look at it and picked out the jade pipa casually.

With Lin Tao's eyesight, he can naturally see the mystery in the thumb-sized jade pipa sculpture at a glance. If he fiddles with it at will, the jade pipa emits a burst of warm light and changes to the size of a normal pipa.

The fold-inch technique can make objects several times smaller and easier to carry. If you can't afford the Qiankun Pill, small sects of casual cultivators often learn this.

It's not a secret technique, but it's considered average. It's just that the person who made this jade pipa is obviously not skilled enough. The formation is drawn crookedly, but it can't bear any impact. In Lin Tao's eyes, it can be regarded as shoddy.

On the contrary, this jade pipa is very delicately made.

Just waiting for Lin Tao to look at it for a moment, the pipa strings moved by themselves, and the distant and euphemistic music sounded, Lin Tao couldn't help being stunned, but he didn't expect that there were still notes hidden under such a rough folding technique.

But that surprise was only for a moment, and it was not difficult to superimpose two such simple spells, and this thing was still worthless in Lin Tao's eyes.

But the sound of this music is not bad, the empty mountain is quiet and elegant, it makes people calm down, and it is a little familiar, so Lin Tao became interested and leaned on the bed to listen to the music.

It was only when he played the second verse that he suddenly remembered that the pipa music he played was "Sunset Xiaogu", no wonder it was so familiar to his ears.

A plum tree blooms early,

The fragrance hits the guest clothes.

Sunset flutes and drums scattered,

Half of them are broken branches.

Lin Tao thought of this sentence inexplicably, as if someone was humming a song in his ear, with a gentle and long tone, like a dream that refused to wake up, and he fell asleep to the sound of the music.

……

Yi Yao came back from Shi Lele, but he didn't go directly to Tianshui Zuixing Pavilion, but walked slowly step by step.

As for Shi Lele, she never thought that there would be something wrong with Senior Brother Yi, who has "impaired memory and lost his cultivation base", running to Ziying Peak a few miles away in the middle of the night. After being asked an inexplicable question An An went to bed with peace of mind, and there was no need for Yi Yao to worry about whether she would be exposed.

In fact, Yiyao really didn't have the heart to worry about these things. His mind was full of the jade pipa. Among the many collections hoarded by Lin Tao, Yiyao contributed a lot, but the jade pipa was made by himself. .

At that time Mrs. Lu fell ill, and Yiyao went down the mountain with the two senior brothers. Lu Jingzong was immersed in the pain of losing his mother, but Lin Tao couldn't help but think of his own mother while he was sad, so Yiyao listened to him. The matter of Lin Luan.

When Lin Luan passed away, Lin Tao was only four or five years old, and in fact he didn't have much memory. Moreover, he was never a person who likes to complain, so he told Yiyao about the songs his mother often sang, about the warmth of those poor days, Later, when Yiyao passed through Yanzhou, he deliberately inquired about Lin Luan's name, but unexpectedly, someone really remembered it.

That Lin Luan was originally an actress in a singing and dancing workshop, he played the pipa well, and he redeemed himself and went out of business at his youngest age, which caused quite a stir. Many children from rich families felt sorry for this, and even mentioned the story of Lin Luan to this day. The name seems to be able to hear the glory of her famous song on the boat.

And Lin Luan's famous song is "Sunset Xiaogu".

Yi Yao deliberately found a famous local musician, and learned how to make the pipa from him. After half a month of hard work with Qiu Futang, he agreed to teach him the folding-inch technique, which was very difficult for him at the time. It took nearly three months to finally take shape.

When the jade pipa was finished, an irresistible impulse surged in Yi Yao's heart, wishing to hold this carefully prepared gift in front of Lin Tao in an instant.

In fact, he did so. For the disciples of Qingmingzong, it was a normal day, but Yiyao still remembers Lin Tao's reaction when he received this gift.

The flamboyant young man opened his mouth slightly and said for a long time without saying a word. Lin Tao, who has always regarded himself as a genius, showed a silly expression for the first time, and then slapped him on the head with a vicious gesture. , but the strength is very light.

Then Lin Tao snorted heavily on his head as if he was puzzled, messing up Yi Yao's neatly ironed hair, he could even feel the fine calluses in Lin Tao's palms from practicing sword.

The elder brother was so awkward that it was almost cute, he took Yiyao back to the house with a cold face, and poured medicine on him cursingly——Yiyao's palm was blistered because of engraving amulets, and Lin Tao carefully held it and smeared it with cool water. ointment.

It was very close to the temperature of the porcelain bottle that Lin Tao stuffed into his hand. It was icy cold, like ice cubes in early summer. It was not as enjoyable as drinking under the hot sun, but it was refreshing.

Yiyao still remembered that Lin Tao put the jade pipa on his chest and put it next to his chest instead of randomly throwing it into the Qiankun bag. Go up, slowly wipe the wound on the mouth.

His movements were very slow, but it wasn't because of the pain. Only Lin Tao would take such scratches seriously. The wound was wiped carefully, and the small porcelain bottle was carefully put away, and placed at the place closest to the heart through a layer of clothes.

He glanced at the distance, gave up his aimless wandering, summoned a spirit sword and went straight to Tianshui Zuixing Pavilion,
