In her memories, her mother told herself about a mysterious place that few people visited.
"The sacred tree is not only the source of human power, but the moment its branches are blown by the wind of origin, all things are born."
Sitting side by side with his mother, the young Chu Qing timidly touched the keys for fear of disturbing the exotic instrument. When the black keys were slightly dented, he released his fingers.
"Legend has it that there is a piano covered with green leaves under the sacred tree. Transparent crystal is carved into white keys, and obsidian keys formed from lava fragments sit side by side with it. Gods will occasionally play it. Human beings think that the melody is the music of heaven, which has traveled through time. In the storm-torn evil sea and moist hills, whether it is the living beings in the world or the undead wandering on the other side, even the dead can hear the echoes of the other world. "
As she said that, her mother started to play the piano with her white fingers. The originally silent instrument was actually played by her with elegant rhythms. Every sound she made was deeply immersed in Chu Qing's heart and soul. He understood the so-called so-called in the world. Infatuated with it, I closed my eyes and listened intently to the "Remnant Chapter" that my mother played for me for the first time.
The White Feather Hall, used to hold the princess' coming-of-age ceremony, has now been decorated. Guest seats on both sides are neatly arranged. The side hall door for Gongyue to enter is decorated with a screen. The divine feather crow and the feather-studded throne are standing in front of the door of the Kingdom of Heaven. Echoing each other, it looks particularly solemn, and the sloping triangular glass roof reveals the dazzling light of the morning.
The floor was polished until it was shiny and had not yet been completely dried. Chu Qing couldn't bear to step on it, so he sat casually on the threshold, leaning on the ancient oak frame with his back. He found Shigongnu next to a dulcimer in the corner of the White Feather Hall. The middle-aged handyman with special skills was wearing a dark cotton coat and focused on polishing the piano pedals. This may be his last cleaning job, because He then straightened his back and moved his stiff neck.
"You know, I never pay attention to form." Shi Gonghu turned his back to Chu Qing, who was sitting at the door, and gently stroked the black and white piano keys with his fingers. This man is right. He does not value superficial forms, which is why he repeatedly rejected the young man's request to become a disciple. He also does not think that the swordsmanship he has practiced throughout his life is a skill that needs to be passed down. He felt that he was in tune with Chu Qing, so he taught him Swordsmanship, it's so simple.
"I announced my feelings in front of His Highness and Master during the sword ceremony. Your Highness said that if I grow into a man that satisfies her soon, Gongyue will be betrothed to me."
"You can live up to your youth by being decisive and brave. You have finally taken a step forward." Shi Gonghu pressed a key, and the notes echoed far away in the silent White Feather Hall. He shouldn't be so old. What has he experienced? Chu Qing looked at Shi Gonghu's messy gray hair, imagining what it would be like to be at his age, polishing the piano for a young and beautiful girl during her wedding ceremony, and hearing the young boy show his immaturity to him. With courage, could my mood at that time be as peaceful as Mr. Shi's
The scratched floor reflected a balanced light and darkness. The Shigonghu walked toward the boy from the shadows and stopped where the shadows were about to transition into light. "It's a good sword. His Highness always gives you the best thing. You should be more mature and don't disappoint her." The man said, "I have offended many people, and many distinguished friends have been criticized because of my extreme Because of his personality, he gradually alienated me, so I am not qualified to teach you how to behave in the world. There is only one thing..."
