Si Lei Zhenjun

Chu Xing nodded slightly, and suddenly thought that they were knowledgeable and might know some methods to improve their understanding that he didn't know.

"Master, this is the case... I have a friend whose comprehension is poor. Even with all the natural resources and treasures that can help one attain enlightenment, he still cannot comprehend a single spell."

"I want to ask for him, besides natural treasures, are there any other ways to temporarily improve his understanding?"

Qi Shunan frowned and thought for a moment, then raised her finger and pointed at Shen Yuluan and said:

"Yu Luan and her sect seem to have a song that can help people gain enlightenment."

Chu Xing's eyes lit up and he looked at Shen Yuluan eagerly.

"Bright Cloud Returns to the Fairyland," Shen Yuluan nodded slightly, looking at him with a half-smile, "Your friend is talking about you, right?"

Chu Xing smiled a little embarrassedly and said in a flattering manner:

"Master-uncle is extremely intelligent and kind-hearted. It turns out that nothing can be hidden from you!"

Shen Yuluan smiled sweetly, and her beautiful eyes blinked playfully:

"It's okay if you want me to play it for you. The two lines of poetry you read to me last time were pretty good. Read a few more lines for me!"

Hearing this, Qi Shunan's eyes suddenly became sharp, staring straight at Chu Xing, as if saying - you actually read poems to her, but never to me.

Chu Xing straightened his face, turned his head slightly guilty and looked at Shen Yuluan, pondered for a moment, and said:

"The feathered garment is always tinged with the color of mist and haze, and is not stained by the peach and plum blossoms of the world."

Fearing that his master would be angry, Chu Xing looked at her again and said:

"The beauty of the lotus eclipses the present and the past, and the lotus blushes at the beauty of the lotus."

"What you recited to Master was shorter than what Yu Luan recited!" Qi Shunan turned her head away angrily.

Chu Xing: “…”

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuluan couldn't help but giggle. Her laughter was clear and sweet, like a mountain spring, and echoed in the yard like a silver bell for a long time.

After laughing for a long time, she stopped, looked at Chu Xing and said:

"Let's find a quiet room."

Chu Xing nodded and led them towards a house in the yard.

When they reached the door, Qi Shunan grabbed Shen Yuluan and whispered a few words in her ear.

After hearing this, Shen Yuluan looked at her with some doubt, but seeing her serious expression, she had no choice but to nod.

So Chu Xing saw Shen Yuluan enter the room and go straight to the couch and sit down.

Then she took out a pair of snow-white silk stockings and delicate embroidered shoes, and put them on with her head down.

Now Chu Xing didn't have to think about it and could guess what his master said to her.

Tired, destroy it...

After Shen Yuluan put on her shoes and socks, she took out a zither table and set it up, then took out a guqin and placed it on it.

Chu Xing calmed himself down, came to the zither table, sat on the floor, and asked:

"Uncle Master, what should I do?"

Shen Yuluan smiled and said:

"Just stay calm and comprehend your magic."

Chu Xing nodded, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, took out the jade slip and immersed his consciousness into it.

Zheng——

Shen Yuluan quickly raised her hand and played the first syllable.

clank clank——

Her fingers were slender and white, as tender as flower petals. They danced on the strings, and every tremor was like the whisper of her heartstrings.

The melodious melody is like a mountain spring, delicate and refreshing, and like clouds flowing in the sky, ethereal and distant.

The melody was gentle and soft, like a clear stream, constantly nourishing his mind.

Guided by the music of the piano, Chu Xing felt refreshed and clear-minded, and he seemed to be in a very mysterious state.

The words in the jade slip were no longer so obscure and difficult to understand, and the mysteries between the lines gradually became clear.

At the same time, in Wang Huntian's room, the scent of sandalwood lingered and a palace lantern emitted a soft light.

Beside the soft couch, Wang Huntian paused while massaging the woman's shoulders. He spoke to her anxiously, nervously and expectantly:

"Quick, Madam! This zither music is extraordinary. After just a moment of listening, I felt the bottleneck in my cultivation loosen slightly. Our City Lord's Mansion must be visited by a master from the Jade Phoenix Music Sect. Let's get closer and listen."

After saying that, he gently pushed her towards the door.

After a while, the couple hurried to Chu Xing's yard.

At this time, outside a house in the yard, many people were sitting on the open space outside the door, breathing calmly, with peaceful expressions, quietly listening to the melodious piano music.

The two did not dare to delay for a moment, and quickly walked to the outside of the crowd and found an empty seat to sit cross-legged.

……

Outside the window, the night gradually fades away.

In the distant sky, a hint of paleness began to appear, gradually dyeing half of the sky white.

Inside the house, Chu Xing suddenly opened his eyes, and then looked at Shen Yuluan who was still plucking the strings with a face full of joy:

"Uncle Master! No need to play anymore, I have understood this sword technique!"

Shen Yuluan stopped playing the guqin, put away the guqin and the white jade guqin table, and said in a deep voice:

"You've been pestering me to play for you all night long."

Chu Xing's expression froze when he heard this, and he had to accept the fact that he was not very smart.

"Master, you've worked hard! Shall I take you to my room for a cup of tea and a rest?"

As Chu Xing spoke, he led them out of the house attentively.

"Elder Wan? Uncle, Sister Lan? Why are you all here?"

Chu Xing pushed open the door and saw that the outside was crowded with people.

Wan Shankong's wrinkled old face was full of unsatisfied thoughts. He hurried forward impatiently, grabbed Chu Xing's arm and asked:

"Chu boy, tell me quickly, which senior from the Jade Phoenix Music Sect was playing last night?"

Wang Huntian, who was standing by, couldn't contain his curiosity and anticipation, so he quickly came over and interrupted:

"My dear nephew, if possible, could you introduce me to someone?"

Chu Xing thought to himself that you probably didn’t really want to see her, and then he silently moved two steps to the side.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Yuluan and Qi Shunan walked out of the house.

Both of them were wearing gorgeous red dresses, with fluttering sleeves and graceful figures, just like fairies walking out of a painting.

As soon as the two graceful figures in red appeared, the pupils of everyone present couldn't help but shrink slightly, as if they were frightened by an invisible force.

Then, almost out of instinct, everyone subconsciously took several steps back and kept a certain distance from them.

Wang Huntian's expression froze for a few seconds, and he forced a stiff smile on his face:

"Ha...ha, I suddenly remembered that there's an extremely important matter in the mansion that needs my attention, so I'll go ahead."

After saying that, he pulled Lan Qin beside him and ran out of the yard as fast as the wind. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, the others bowed respectfully to the two of them and then fled from the yard, leaving behind only an empty silence.
