[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Journey to the Homeland

The sound of the piano is tinkling, drifting with the wind, lingering over the vast and deep garden.

This place is Bashu Sovereign Fortress, located in the northern suburbs of Chengdu, covering an extremely wide area, and its momentum is no less than that of Pegasus Ranch Mountain City.There are moats and suspension bridges outside the fort, and the buildings in the fort are all made of bricks and stones. There are forests, gardens and yards lined up, with the main hall as the center, forming a small impregnable imperial city.

The owner of the castle, "Martial Arts Judge", Xie Hui, is the great hero of Xichuan, and personally established this force.In the Bashu area, his status is supreme, comparable to Song Que's status in Lingnan.A few years ago, Song Que married his eldest daughter, Song Yuhua, to Xie Hui's son, Xie Wenlong.After the two families got married, the momentum grew even higher.Even though An Long had the Demon Gate as his backer, he didn't dare to offend Xie's family easily.

When outsiders come to this place, they are often intimidated by the aura of the ancient castle, and they are also afraid of Xie Hui's strength, so they are very careful in their behavior and speech.However, the sound of the piano was unscrupulous, not afraid of disturbing the castle master's affairs at all, covering a wide area from the main hall complex to the back city wall, so that everyone on the road could hear clearly.

It is fast and slow, fast and slow, when it is gentle, it is like a gentle wind and drizzle, the grass grows and warblers fly, and when it is in a hurry, it is like lightning and thunder, falling waterfalls and flowing springs.The difference in the melody is very obvious, but the connection is handled as a whole, as if the luthier condensed the scenery of the world into the notes and showed it to all the audience.

The most rare thing is that the sound of the piano not only conveys the beauty of nature, but also shows its violent and ugly side that threatens the survival of human beings.

Generally speaking, the sound of the piano is gentle and the sound of the zither is intense, which is suitable for different occasions.But the luthier has broken through the limitations of the instrument, making people forget what she is playing, and devote themselves to a journey composed of music.

After the piano sounded for a while, a stream of flute sound came out calmly, cutting into this unknown qin melody without any trace, blending with the sound of the qin to form a sound of nature, which is indescribably beautiful.

As soon as it enters, the sound of the qin immediately retreats to the second line and becomes the background of the sound of the flute.

If the sound of the piano embodies the natural beauty, then the sound of the flute reveals the secret emotions in the heart of the flute player.Playing the role of a hermit, it gradually occupies the main position in the song, leading the listeners to roam the rivers, lakes and seas, and mountains, and at the same time let people experience the ethereal and mysterious state of mind of the flute player.Its realm is proficient and its skills are at its peak, which is enough to make people forget all the troubles in the world.

Listeners have different experiences and feelings are completely different.But no matter who it is, they can't help but bathe in the music, their thoughts are surging like a tide, and they are stirred up by it to make all kinds of melancholy, and even forget the work at hand.

After a while, the sound of the piano suddenly clanged several times, clearer and more agile, with a refreshing coolness, each sound became more subtle, and finally disappeared completely, leaving only the lingering sound of the flute.Not long afterward, the introverted enthusiasm in Xiao Yin melted away and turned soft and slow, like a hermit chasing mountains and rivers and entering a mysterious and ethereal world.

When all the sounds were silenced, there seemed to be music lingering in the ears of the people in the castle, constantly teasing their moods.

The sound of the piano and flute came from a small building in the Sovereign Castle.The small building is located in a secluded place with a pleasant environment. It looks ordinary on the outside, but inside it lives Shi Qingxuan, the daughter of Shi Zhixuan, who is recognized as the number one xiao artist in the world.

The Xie family asked her to perform many times, but she has only been granted her wish so far.They were still fascinated by themselves, and missed the amazing skills just now. Su Ye, who was sitting opposite Shi Qingxuan, laughed and applauded: "It really lives up to its reputation. Even if Xi Ying is not in Chengdu, I have come all the way for this song." , it’s not a waste of time.”

More than a year has passed since the day of her decisive battle with Ning Daoqi.Many things happened during this period, such as Ba Fenghan's return to Beyond the Great Wall; Xu Ziling's involvement in more turmoil;

The flames of war intensified, the relationship between the rebels in various places was ever-changing, and the dispute between good and evil gradually surfaced.Even if the situation suddenly eased, it was mostly the calm before the storm.

Su Ye's changes were also obvious.She was a little taller than before, and she looked like a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old. Sitting next to the piano stand, she looked like a flower ready to bloom.Her beauty is unquestionable, and she gives people a healthy and bright feeling, without the weakness of many beauties.

But under her foil, Shi Qingxuan did not fall behind, it can be said that it was even worse.Her appearance is exquisite and beautiful, her temperament is as elegant as a fairy, she does not apply makeup on her face, and she sees people with a natural and simple appearance.Any modification of the features would destroy this perfection.

Thanks to the blessings of Shi Zhixuan and Bi Xiuxin, she has been famous since she was born, and has friendship with many senior figures in the martial arts world, but very few people have seen her real face.

In the foreseeable future, she and Xu Ziling will break through several obstacles, bond with each other, and finally become a fairy couple.However, at the moment she doesn't have that intention, she only regards Xu Ziling as a close friend, and still wants to return to the small building in the dense forest where she used to live in seclusion, and spend her life beside her mother's tomb.

It was not the first day Su Ye knew her. He knew that she looked aloof and detached, but she was actually kind-hearted. Once he became a close friend with her, he would find that she was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, just like girls of the same age who would joke with others Acting like a baby, she changed her usual lonely appearance.

Shi Zhixuan is the evil king of the Demon Sect, and Bi Xiuxin was born in Cihang Jingzhai, and is the senior sister of Fan Qinghui, the owner of the Zhai. As a result, Shi Qingxuan plays an important role in some aspects, and is even regarded as a stumbling block to prevent Shi Zhixuan from achieving his great cause.Shi Zhixuan's good friend An Long and his disciple Yang Xuyan all think so, and they don't hesitate to plan to kill her, to get rid of Shi Zhixuan's last goodwill towards the world, and turn him into a ruthless devil.

Due to the endless conspiracies and tricks and the competition between Shi Zhixuan's two disciples, Shi Qingxuan had to leave the Youlin Xiaogu and get involved in the turmoil in the world.Xu Ziling met her because of these bad things.Su Ye got to know her a little later, and thought it was very easy to talk to, so when she was staying in Sovereign Fort, he took the opportunity of coming to Chengdu to visit her in the fort and discuss a few things at the same time.

At this time, Shi Qingxuan put down the jade flute in her hand, and said with a smile: "Sister, Qingxuan is ashamed to accept the award. Since I can remember, except for my mother, I have never heard such a beautiful piano sound. Your skills may not be considered the pinnacle. But it is full of otherworldly images, making mountains, flowing water, forests, wind and snow and other things lifelike. Even if you don't know martial arts, just relying on this skill alone is enough to move the world."

Her voice is sweet and soft, like another musical instrument.With her accomplishments in Xiao Dao, she uttered so many beautiful words, which is enough for Su Ye to be proud of.After she sincerely praised, she glanced at Xu Ziling who was standing by the window, and said with a smile, "Is Ziling satisfied?"

Kou Zhong has been reborn, and Xu Ziling is also growing.Now he has become an outstanding young man with a unique temperament, elegant and elegant. From the perspective of bearing, appearance and conduct, he is an outstanding master who cannot lose to anyone.What's more, he is very young, but he is born with a chivalrous heart, and he is by no means a cold and heartless person.As long as a person has eyes, he can see that he has a bright future and is very likely to become the next generation of martial arts masters.

Hearing Shi Qingxuan's question, he breathed out as if he had just woken up from a dream, and smiled bitterly: "If this is not enough, Xu Ziling is too greedy. It's a pity that Zhong Shao is not here, otherwise he must have a lot of insights."

Shi Qingxuan calmly said: "Kou Zhong? I don't think he understands it as deeply as you do. Although we play the piano and the flute together, there is a subtle difference. You might as well tell us what the difference is, and it will be considered as a reward for us."

Xu Ziling was obviously willing to follow her instructions, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Miss' flute is full of emotion, which makes me feel the same way. I think of many things I have experienced in this life, as well as the troubles and helplessness in this world. It triggers the deepest feelings in people's hearts. After finishing it, it was like a dream, and I was moved from the bottom of my heart. As for the beauty...as for the dragon head piano, it gave me a completely different feeling."

Kou Zhong likes to give others nicknames. When talking about Su Ye in private, he doesn't even call out his master, but uses "Sister Beauty", and sometimes calls her "Little Dragon Head".Under Xu Ziling's ears and eyes, he would yell wrong in front of a real person, making Su Ye dumbfounded.

Shi Qingxuan couldn't help smiling again, and asked, "What's the difference?"

Xu Ziling said sternly: "The sound of the qin is also very beautiful, but it lacks human emotions, only natural and ingenious. After listening to a piece, it is still difficult to guess what kind of person the qin master is. The sound of the zither arouses emotions from the inside out, while the qin comes from the outside. Inside, changing all kinds of images to lure others into the uncanny workmanship of the heavens. When Miss Qingxuan said that you are lacking in skills, it should mean that you refused to express your heart all the way."

Shi Qingxuan smiled sweetly, looking very satisfied with his answer, which also showed that she really admired Xu Ziling.She seldom opens up to people, and even less smiles sincerely, so this reaction is already special.

Su Ye looked at her, then at Xu Ziling, suddenly shook his head and said, "Do you two want me to disappear immediately?"

As soon as these words were uttered, the ambiguity in the room was immediately driven away.Xu Ziling looked a little embarrassed, but he didn't deny it on the spot.Shi Qingxuan put away her smile, and sighed: "Sister, don't joke, since you are here for business, naturally you have to finish it."

Xu Ziling seemed to be trying to hide his embarrassment, and immediately answered, "Yes, it should be so."

Su Ye looked between them again, and said with a smile, "Okay."

The reason why she left Luoyang and went to Chengdu was of course not because she was too tired to travel, but because Xi Ying, the "Tianjun" who disappeared a few years ago and recently reappeared in the Central Plains.

Xi Ying leads the "Mie Qing Dao" in the Demon Sect, and ranks fourth on the list of eight masters, and is very famous.There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that there is a word "天" in his title, which violated Song Que's taboo, and he was chased all the way out of the Central Plains by Tian Dao, and he dared not come back for a long time.This can also explain why he only sent his junior brother Yin Zuwen to contact the Yingui sect instead of coming out personally.

But from the insider's point of view, Song Que was not so domineering, and the reason why he had trouble with Xi Ying was because he had done a lot of evil, so he just found an excuse to attack.

Xi Ying has committed many evil deeds, the most famous victim of which is the "tyrant sword" Yue Shan.Yue Shan once defeated Xi Ying, causing Xi Ying to hate him to the bone, and killed his family while he was out.When Yue Shan passed away, he no longer remembered his hatred for Song Que, but he could never forget this hatred.

Coincidentally, Shi Qingxuan has a close relationship with Yue Shan, calling him "Uncle Yue", collecting his overbearing sword and "Dafa of Changing the Sun", and has always wanted to fulfill his unfulfilled wish for him.Because of this, Xi Ying immediately attracted her attention as soon as the news came out.

Even if there is no information, just guessing, you can guess the attendance of this trip, the biggest fear is still Song Que.It is said that he has been away for so many years, and he has successfully practiced his unique skill "Purple Qi Tianluo". Only then did he get rid of his fear of the sky knife, and he is ready to show his strength when he comes back.

Su Ye knew very well that no matter where they were, the eight masters of the Demon Sect would enter the Central Plains for different purposes, including Zhao Deyan, the Turkic national teacher, so she didn't have to search all over the world, she only needed to care about the timing of their appearance.Long before Xi Ying's return, she found the right opportunity, and with the cooperation of others, successively subdued An Long and You Niaojuan, and used both soft and hard tactics to force them to hand over their unique secret books in exchange for their lives.

Rong Fengxiang couldn't bring Zhu Yuyan with him, and Anlong couldn't find Shi Zhixuan anytime, anywhere, so he followed her like Rong Fengxiang, and after several bargains, he reluctantly offered the "Tianxin Lotus Ring".You Niaojuan, however, has no integrity, and his performance is even worse than Zuo Youxian's. He actually betrayed the remaining three juniors and sisters, and handed over the evil extreme sect together.

Whether An Long will sue Shi Zhixuan, or who will kill You Niaojuan in the future, are not Su Ye's concerns.After receiving the information, she immediately set off to the south to claim the prey that should have belonged to Xu Ziling.
