Two thousand years ago, the temple of the divine domain.
A skinny little girl in blue, who looked to be no more than five or six years old, was walking along the corridor behind a tall man wearing a feather crown and a blue floral embroidered robe. The little girl was holding a huge guqin that did not match her body shape in her arms. Her whole face was blocked behind the guqin and she could not see the way forward at all. The man in front of her walked too quickly, not caring whether she could keep up behind her. Although the girl was almost jogging, she was still falling further and further behind him.
This was the first time that the little girl came to the God's Domain. The walls of the temple were all milky white, the roof of the palace and the doors and windows were gold. Countless cranes and sacred birds were dancing in the sky, but she was in no mood to pay attention to all of this.
The tall man in front is her father, the God of Music, Changqin. This is the fourth time that father and daughter have met. She has been practicing piano with her mother, Qin Mo Liuli, since she was three years old. Every year, her father comes to live in seclusion with her mother. In the Orchid Cave in the Demon Realm, he taught her how to play the piano.
Although this little girl is only six years old, she can already use her piano music to control animals and relatively weak monsters, hypnotize them, make them do things for her, and even make them kill each other, all with the help of her piano music. It won't be long before her ability surpasses that of her mother Qin Mo Liuli, and it is at this moment that her father Changqin takes her away from her mother.
In front of a golden door, Changqin stopped and waited for the little girl behind him. After she ran to him, he pulled her and said: "Yueqin, after meeting Lord Qiansu, the god of heaven, Qian Don't speak carelessly! Saying a wrong word in the God's Realm may lead to a punishment that will make you fall into eternal damnation. Remember, you are not allowed to laugh wantonly or cry loudly after entering the God's Court, let alone let anyone guess you. The things that are on your mind, because they will become your weakness for others to attack!”
"Yes!" Xiao Yueqin tried her best to poke half of her face out from behind the guqin and responded.
Only then did Changqin see the tears on her little face. How much he wanted to stretch out his arms and hug his child like a father, but he had to suppress his emotions. The birth of Yueqin was arranged by the god Qiansu. Changqin, the god of music, was chosen as his father together with several other gods in the divine domain, and together with demons and even demons, he gave birth to a new generation called gods and demons. Yueqin was also one of them. Among these children, the four with the strongest abilities will be selected and eventually become the Four Divine Judges specializing in Black Fire Purgatory.
Because Yueqin was the youngest among these children, she was the last one to report to the Divine Judgement Court, which is the school for training divine judges in the Divine Realm. Before entering the Divine Judgment Court, the music god Changqin took her to the temple to meet the god Qiansu in accordance with the rules and accept his message.
The fathers of these selected gods and demons were not allowed to be emotionally invested in these children and their mothers, but Changqin fell in love with Qinmo Liuli. She is fundamentally different from the demons he has seen before. She has lived in Orchid Cave for a long time. Her temperament is like an orchid, and her face is like the full moon in early autumn. She can use the sound of the piano to suppress her demonic nature, and never uses her powerful power to suppress her demonic nature. Instead of using power to cause chaos, he is willing to isolate himself from the world.
But he didn't fall in love with her the first time he saw her, but when he came to see mother and daughter for the first time after they gave birth to Yue Qin together. As soon as he entered Youlan Cave that day, he heard the continuous sound of the piano coming from the depths of the cave. Although the music was simple, it was as clean as the dew in the morning. Following the sound of the piano, he saw Liuli holding the three-year-old Yueqin on her lap and playing the piano with her. Both of them were smiling so brightly, their eyes narrowed into two crescent moons.
What could be more beautiful than this picture? Changqin couldn't help but feel that his heart was touched inexplicably. This was a feeling he had never had in the long years of living in the God's Realm, and it suddenly gave him the ability to leave everything in the God's Realm and stay with their mother and daughter. impulse.
For this reason, he had been in a state of uneasiness for a long time. He blamed himself deeply for the relationship he should not have, and grieved for the fate of his daughter Yueqin. Her future is destined to be the executioner of the Divine Realm. In order to maintain the sacred and glorious appearance of the Divine Realm, her hands will eventually be stained with blood. But she had to accept this reality and try her best to become one of the divine judges, because if she was eliminated, she would probably be treated as a defective product.
Changqin, the God of Music, finally softened his heart because of his daughter's tears. He stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on Xiao Yueqin's face, patted her little head again, and asked himself why he brought her into this world to endure such a thing. What about trials? Her little shoulders gradually stopped shaking, and her sobbing stopped. He looked at her deeply for the last time and said, "Then let's go in!"
"Yeah!" Xiao Yueqin nodded. Although her eyes were still full of fear, her crying finally stopped.
She followed her father into the golden door. Behind that door was the room where the god Gansu usually used to read and play the piano. Through the high white hollow screen, she could vaguely see the man standing with his back to her, playing with the birdcage by the window.
His black hair hangs down his back, down to his waist, and is only tied up with a golden belt. He wears a white linen robe. As the Lord of the God Realm, this outfit is too simple. When he heard someone coming in, he turned around slowly and gracefully, smiling and looking at the music gods Changqin and Xiaoyueqin in front of him.
"Master Qiansu!" Changqin stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Changqin, you are here!" Qiansu responded as he walked over to greet the father and daughter.
Xiao Yueqin looked hard at the legendary Lord of the God's Realm from behind the guqin. She didn't seem to feel the majesty of the God of Creation at all in him. His calm and gentle temperament also seemed to be very easy to get close to. look. But when she looked into his eyes, even as a six-year-old she could feel the power and unfathomableness revealed from that connection between the souls. Just like his appearance, he was so beautiful that he couldn't stand the fireworks, but at the same time he was lofty and towering over all things.
"Yes, sir! I brought the Yueqin." Changqin pushed the Yueqin in front of him and said.
"You're a father, so you let a child carry such a big piano all the way?!" Qian Su smiled and shook his head, reaching out to take the guqin held by Xiao Yueqin.
Xiao Yueqin resisted and took a step back.
"Sir, to be honest, she has been taught by her mother since she was a child. This guqin is her weapon. She will never give it to anyone unless she dies." Changqin quickly explained.
"This child is really a born divine judge. She has such awareness at such a young age. She is worthy of being your Changqin's daughter!" Qian Su said with an unpredictable look on his face.
"Where! She has lived in seclusion in Youlan Cave with her mother since she was a child. She knows nothing about the outside world and does not understand etiquette. I hope you will not blame her!" Changqin is well aware of Gansu's moodiness and is afraid that Yueqin's actions just now will offend her. He couldn't help but explain a few more words.
"This is the real jade. The Divine Judgement Court will carve her into the sharpest knife in the divine realm. She will win endless honors for you and her mother. I can't wait to see the day when she becomes the Divine Judgement." Yes! Hahaha..." Qiansu laughed after finishing speaking.
"Thank you, sir, for giving her such an opportunity!" Changqin also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then, you two, father and daughter, will be separated from now on." Qiansu said, putting away his smile.
"Yes, I understand! From the moment she stepped into the Divine Judgment Court, the fate between her mother and I was over." Changqin tried his best to sound calm, but he was still afraid of doing it. You will feel the helplessness and endless sadness in his heart.
"Well, it's good to have such an awareness! Only in this way can she be completely fair and impartial after becoming the divine judge, without any personal emotions." Qian Su clapped his hands twice after speaking.
A man dressed in black walked in from the door, stood still, lowered his head and saluted.
"Qingyuan, I leave this little girl to you. She is the last child of the Divine Judgment Court this time. The daughter of the music god Changqin and the piano demon Liuli in front of you is called Yueqin!" Qiansu said to the man in black.
"Yes!" The man in black answered and turned to Xiao Yueqin, "Come with me!"
Xiao Yueqin turned to her father Changqin with fear on her face, her eyes full of pleading. Although she knew before coming that this was a fate she could not change, she still held on to a glimmer of hope that her father would change his mind at the last second and take her with him. Leave this beautiful looking but terrifyingly cold place. And the man in black in front of her looked so serious, which frightened her even more.
"Go!" Changqin looked at his daughter who was about to cry again. He hesitated for a few seconds, but he still made up his mind and pushed her towards Qingyuan, who was responsible for teaching the children in the Divine Judgement Court. He knew that if he was soft-hearted and disobeyed Qian Su's will at this moment, Yue Qin would probably lose even the hope of living.
Xiao Yueqin glanced at her father resentfully, stopped saying anything, and silently followed Qingyuan outside the house. She only heard Qiansu behind her saying to her father: "Your choice is right! The so-called swallowing darkness with darkness, only in this way can we let go." The evil forces will be punished as they deserve!"
The Divine Judgment Court is far away from the temple. Beyond the temple, Xiao Yueqin followed Qingyuan into a car pulled by a hexagonal spirit beast. The hexagonal spirit beast looks like both a deer and a cow, with long green hair on its body and six horns on its head as its name suggests.
Sitting in a closed and small car with Qingyuan made Xiao Yueqin even more nervous. She remembered what her father had just said, and she could not let others feel her true thoughts, so she took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.
There was no expression on Qingyuan's face, and he stared straight at Xiao Yueqin and said: "The other children in the Divine Judgement Court have been studying with me for a long time, but they won't just wait for you just because of this. , so you work harder than others and catch up with their progress as soon as possible! Got it?"
"I know!" Xiao Yueqin said timidly. Now there was nothing in her heart except sadness and longing for her mother, and she didn't even have the mood to look out the window at the beautiful scenery of God's Realm.
Later on, Qingyuan didn't say anything else. It wasn't until the car pulled by the hexagonal spirit beast stopped that Xiao Yueqin seemed to wake up from a big dream. She didn't know in her little heart that what would greet her was What a cruel world.
