starry night.

To the west of Fenghua Mountain, at the upper reaches of Huanhua River, there is the sound of gurgling water and the curling of clouds and smoke.

Along with the mist, there was the familiar, sweet and heavenly sound of the piano.

Here is one of the most beautiful holy places in the Jinghua Palace, the "Huihua Spring".

Various hot springs of different sizes and shapes are gathered here——

The eaves of the pool are paved with jade, and the bottom of the pool is filled with warm water under the constant gush of underground water columns. The water vapor transpires and small fish swim freely. It is truly a fairyland on earth.

In Jinghua Palace, whenever the spirit envoys want to relieve their mental or physical fatigue, they can choose to take a bath in the hot springs here to wash away the troubles of the world.

This is one of the countless benefits of official spiritual envoys, and there is no need to ask the master for instructions. Of course, except for "bathing with the master".

The sound of the piano came from a forest clearing not far to the left of Huihua Spring, where the "Spring Return Array of All Souls" is located.

The formation is made of "colored jade" and is small in area and circular in shape. There are night flowers blooming all around, and the fragrance is astonishing.

Dots of fireflies illuminate the forest, and when combined with the ear-washing music, it makes people forget to leave.

At this moment, Sha Ling was lying quietly in the center of the array surrounded by colorful lights, her small body absorbing the "essence of flower spirits" filled in the air little by little.

After the song ended, she raised her arms with difficulty, clapped her little hands in front of her twice with "pa, pa", and turned her head to look at Qin Shiyin, who was still a little reserved on one side, and gave a "hee" and praised :

"You sound so nice."

"...Eh?"

"I feel much better."

Sha Ling's burnt brown pupils were shining brightly. After listening to the quiet healing music, the wounds on her body seemed to be less painful than before.

"Ah...Senior Xiao Ling, as long as you are satisfied."

Qin Shiyin smiled softly and felt relieved.

Previously, because Yan Ye needed to report the mission status to her master immediately, and no one could watch her here, she was temporarily arranged to take care of Sha Ling here. However, under the healing of "Flower Spirit Essence", the little girl quickly recovered. Awakened and found her.

At first, the two girls stared at each other for a long time. Because Qin Shiyin didn't like to communicate with words and Sha Ling was very afraid of strangers, the atmosphere was a bit awkward for a while.

After a long time, Sha Ling, who was bored, suddenly had an idea and suddenly asked, "Can I play a piece of music?" Unexpectedly, Qin Shiyin happily accepted it.

For Sha Ling, in the past, if you wanted to hear good piano music, you had to wait until the Flower God Festival arrived before you could be edified by the master's performance; but now, with a "mobile piano girl" like Qin Shiyin present, she is completely The senior's special status can be used to enjoy benefits, and the juniors will no longer be on pins and needles... In this regard, Sha Ling is not stupid.

Facts have proved that this has indeed effectively shortened the distance between the two women and eliminated a lot of strangeness.

As for the music Qin Shiyin just played, it is the fifth movement in the Tianjie Kung Fu "The Waning Moon and Autumn Frost" - "Under the Moon Night". This music was composed by Lu Lingqiu in his early years. The true meaning of the music is to recall and long for the existence of the moon. old world.

Although she has played this song many times, it is still difficult for her to understand what the real "moonlight night" looks like. She always feels that although the scenery the host has seen has been integrated into the song, it is still difficult for her to understand the "moonlight night" that she has never seen. ” is still too abstract for people.

What's even stranger is that the "bright beauty", "flower of the moon", "beautiful as a bell" and other unheard-of exaggerated images expressed in the song made Qin Shiyin very confused... so she hugged Sha Ling.

The seniors also had the mentality of listening and watching, and then played this song.

The rest was very simple - the quiet and melancholy tune immediately attracted little Sha Ling, and from beginning to end, she listened to the entire movement without blinking.

"very nice."

Sha Ling lacked vocabulary and wanted to express more of her emotions, but she could only speak a few words.

But Qin Shiyin didn't mind.

Compared to outsiders who don't know anything, she can at least see clear positive feedback from Sha Ling's pure eyes. For the violinist, this is more satisfying and fulfilling than anything else.

things.

Just when the two girls were preparing to talk about some in-depth topics, Lu Lingqiu's figure appeared on the outside of the formation——

"Xiao Ling!"

"Ah, Master."

Sha Ling's body's recovery power is amazing. After listening to the healing music under the continuous nourishment of the formation, she feels a lot more comfortable. At this moment, seeing the master whom she misses so much, she completely forgets that she is injured and actually wants to

To commit the terrible act of "stand up and pounce".

Fortunately, Lu Lingqiu rushed over with quick eyes and hands and held him down:

"Xiao Ling...you need to rest now, don't move around."

"But, I want to, Master."

"..."

Her first words made Lu Lingqiu's heart hurt.

Looking at the shocking wounds on Xiao Xiao's body, looking at the "little triangle" hanging around her neck like a treasure, looking at her still smiling from the bottom of her heart despite her serious injuries, Lu Lingqiu somehow...

I actually felt a bit sore at the tip of my nose, and some kind of hot liquid seemed to be pouring out of my eyes.

He knew that she had always been like this. She always expressed her emotions through actions in silence.

When he carried her back to Jinghua Palace, Lu Lingqiu could see that compared to other envoys, Sha Ling was more introverted and needed more initiative to understand and care for her.

Here, everyone has suffered varying degrees of pain, and everyone has faced loneliness for a long or short time. The reason why there is a paradise like Fenghua Mountain, and the reason why there is a paradise like Jinghua Palace, is because

Let those who really need to be healed have a place to escape from troubles and forget all pain.

This was the original intention of the Flower God when he built the Mirror Flower Palace, and it will not change even after thousands of years.

——

"Shiyin, please go back and rest first. I have something to say to her alone. Thank you for your hard work."

After a brief absence, Lu Lingqiu spoke to Qin Shiyin first.

"Well, okay, Master."

Qin Shiyin was very reassuring, and she knew that all the injuries on Sha Ling's body were newly added to protect her master, so she looked at this little senior with admiration from the bottom of her heart. She put away her lyre, gave Lu Lingqiu a light salute, and then

He winked at Sha Ling and signaled, then left quietly.

Peace returns to the forest.

"Xiao Ling..."

Lu Lingqiu stretched out his arm and gently stroked the little girl's slightly dirty cheek. He felt mixed feelings and blamed himself.

"I will find a way to get you better as soon as possible."

He murmured, looking at her with eyes full of unbearability and distress.

On the way here, he had already thought that if he wanted to solve the sequelae after Xiao Ling cast the "holy method", simply looking for pills to increase longevity would definitely treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.

Not only are most of those magical elixirs extinct, the top-level materials required for refining them are also very rare and are basically extinct. What's more, the success rate of refining them is also frighteningly low.

Therefore, he planned to start from another angle: find a way to help her break through.

As long as she breaks through to the next realm, her lifespan will be doubled. Once she reaches the level of a demigod or even a true god, she will gain eternal life and at the same time, she can release the holy law at will.

"Xiao Ling, I will make you a demon god. I will definitely do it."

Feeling the warmth of her master's hands, Sha Ling said with satisfaction:

"Well! I didn't let the master down."

"Of course. Xiao Ling, you have never let me down. You won't let me down now, and you won't in the future either."

He leaned down and hugged her tightly.

It can be felt through the frequency of her heartbeat that she is very happy now.

"But the mission failed. It was 'Haohualing' who saved me."

She whispered in his ear.

"Good flower bell?"

"Yeah. 'Haohua Ling' is very powerful. She praised me for her spiritual skills, which are very beautiful."

"Do you rely on it..."

Lu Lingqiu thought for a moment and suddenly asked:

"Xiao Ling, do you like her?"

"Yeah, I like it!"

"Why?"

"Um……"

The little girl thought for a while, but didn't know what to say.

"Because she saved you?"

"no."

Sha Ling said seriously:

"'Bad Flower Ling', if he were here, would also save me."

Hearing this sentence, Lu Lingqiu's heart moved and he said happily:

"Well, Xiao Ling is right."

"Then, Master, can you come and ask her to play with me in the future?"

She blinked and looked at him with expectant eyes.

"..."

What Ping Yi said before leaving came to mind,

Lu Lingqiu thought for a moment and finally nodded:

"Okay, I will find a way to keep her in Jinghua Palace."
Chapter completed!
