After dinner, Qin Ran jumped upstairs, took out his homemade flute, and started playing it.
He made the flute by himself, and the pitch was very inaccurate. He didn't actually know how to play the flute, he was just playing it blindly. After so many days, he could just about produce some tunes now.
After eating, Li Shiyin flew out for a stroll on her sword. She walked around Danfeng and came back with Mu Se. When she saw Qin Ran playing the flute on the rooftop, she flew directly to the rooftop.
“Master, the pitch of your flute is inaccurate.” Li Shiyin said. She put away her sword, hugged the scabbard and sat next to Qin Ran.
Qin Ran glanced at her and didn't want to pay attention to her. How could he not know whether the flute was in tune or not
No eyesight!
After the song stopped, he took the flute in his hand and said to Li Shiyin, "I think you should learn how to cook... I am the one who cooks and washes the dishes. What kind of words are these? It's like I am serving you. You don't even know if you are the master or I am the master?"
"Master... Master, it's not that serious!" Li Shiyin was a little embarrassed. "I don't think it's appropriate for you to always cook, but I... you saw it last time."
“Ah…” Qin Ran remembered the miserable scene in the kitchen, sighed, and picked up the flute to play again.
For a moment, under the blessing of emotion, although it was still out of tune, the sound of the flute had a melancholy and sad taste.
Zhuifeng had been digging in the lake with Li Shiyin for a whole day, and was covered in mud. Qin Ran took the time to give him a bath. The cat was clean, but its fur was unkempt. He was squatting beside it and licking its fur.
Seeing this, Li Shiyin placed her sword across her legs, hugged Zhuifeng, rubbed his head, then cleared her throat and sang to Danfeng in the twilight:
"What a beautiful and graceful figure, unique and outstanding in the world;
It shows the beauty that can captivate the whole city, and hopes that her virtue will be known in the rumors.
Wearing jade to compare purity, and orchids to compete for fragrance;
Be gentle and indifferent in the secular world, and have lofty aspirations in the high clouds.
…”
Its sound is like the flow of a clear spring, and its emotion is also distant and melancholy. It rings out at dusk, heralding the coming night.
Qin Ran's flute sound stopped unconsciously. Outside the wooden house, on the grass, in the forest, and on Danfeng Mountain, only Li Shiyin's clear and moving singing voice was echoing.
She sang for a long time, until the dusk deepened, the night spread, and the sky was filled with stars, then she stopped.
The air was still for a while. Li Shiyin chuckled, turned to look at Qin Ran, and asked, "Master, did I sing well?"
I didn't expect that my silly disciple had this skill. Qin Ran was silent for a moment, but he was too embarrassed to say it was not nice, so he nodded and said, "It sounds good."
"Huh, there's no one in Danyang City who sings better than me." Li Shiyin raised her chin proudly.
Qin Ran didn't believe this. He complained, "People who sing better than you can't beat you, right?"
"Hehe!" Li Shiyin lowered her head embarrassedly.
"Huh?" Qin Ran was shocked. Is this really the case
"How can you sing?" he asked Li Shiyin.
"My name is Li Shiyin, Shiyin Shiyin, you must be able to sing!" said Li Shiyin.
"Can you write poetry?"
"Won't!"
Qin Ran rolled his eyes and acted justified.
"What are you singing?" he asked again.
"The Song of Chu!" Li Shiyin said, "Who among the people of Northern Chu can't sing the Song of Chu?"
Qin Ran looked at her and didn’t respond… There is a person from Northern Chu here who can’t sing.
"So..." He hesitated, then asked, "Can you play the flute?"
"No." Li Shiyin shook her head.
Kieran breathed a sigh of relief, that wasn't too embarrassing.
"But I can play the guzheng!" Li Shiyin said with a smile.
Qin Ran fell silent again, and it seemed that he was not getting any better.
"Master, don't feel embarrassed. When you first start learning an instrument, you can't play it well. I also couldn't play the guzheng well when I first started learning it." Li Shiyin comforted him, "And the pitch of your flute is not accurate. It's not your fault. I'll find time to tie up Gao Yunshan and have him make a flute for you and teach you how to play it."
I was really comforted...
Qin Ran's heart was shattered. He finally struggled to ask, "When did you learn to play the guzheng?"
"Hmm..." Li Shiyin recalled and said, "Five years old! I can't remember whether it was five or six."
Qin Ran sighed and decisively changed the subject, scolding: "Look at what time it is now, why don't you start practicing?!"
But Li Shiyin had long been accustomed to his bluffing and was no longer afraid of him. She stuck out her tongue in response to his scolding.
The sky is indeed full of stars. The starry sky at the top of the peak on a summer night feels so close that you can touch it if you reach out your hand.
Li Shiyin sat cross-legged on the roof, with the starry sky above her head. She didn't need to set up a formation like she did when she was building her foundation. Her affinity for the power of the stars was high enough now, so she could directly draw the power of the stars down.
In particular, her spiritual consciousness has taken shape.
Li Shiyin closed her eyes, and in the vast sea of consciousness, a concrete incarnation of her appeared - her soul.
The concrete incarnation of the soul raised his hand and attracted the only sea water in the sea of consciousness - the spiritual consciousness, allowing this "sea water" to flow, disappear from the void, and appear in the real space.
The soul incarnation standing on the sea of consciousness looked up and saw the stars in the sky shedding little rays of light - the power of the stars then drew the "sea water" upwards, encompassed all the light spots falling from the sky, and brought them back into the body.
The star power in the body started to operate, absorbing these light spots.
Yes
With this trigger, Li Shiyin's body had an inexplicable attraction, which attracted all the light spots from the starry sky.
The magic power connected to the Qingxing Sword, causing it to float. Li Shiyin slowly found the balance point and introduced the power of the stars into the Qingxing Sword.
Qin Ran was guarding the side. From his perspective as a bystander, at this moment, Li Shiyin's body was covered with dots of light, as if there were many fireflies in her clothes. She was flashing, and the Qingxing Sword floated in front of her. A starlight band connected the Qingxing Sword from her palm. The Qingxing Sword went from being completely black to having a light spot on the hilt, and then from the hilt to the tip of the sword, until the entire sword body was corroded by the light spots.
The power of the stars completely entered the Qingxing Sword. Li Shiyin opened her eyes, and she stood up with her whole body shining. She grasped the hilt of the Qingxing Sword in front of her, and the Qingxing Sword was unsheathed. She turned over and went downstairs.
Sword style starts.
Because of the power of the stars, Li Shiyin's every move was particularly powerful. After a few sword moves, she moved forward a little, and all the starlight on the Qingxing Sword condensed to the tip of the sword, and shot out into a point, hitting the grass in the distance and blasting a small mud pit.
“A lower-level substitute for sword energy…” Qin Ran commented, shaking his head in dissatisfaction.
This move cost all the starlight on the sword, but only caused minimal damage. If he hadn't realized the sword energy, it would be fine. Once he realized the sword energy, this move would be completely useless. And with Li Shiyin's talent for swordsmanship, the sword energy was almost out.
"What a useless move."
Li Shiyin poured star power into the Qingxing Sword again. Qin Ran made a rough estimate, emitted all the starlight, and then poured it in again, leaving a half-minute gap in between.
"Try the attack range." He shouted to Li Shiyin.
Li Shiyin received the order and shot the star power she had just condensed as far as possible.
In the end, Kieran roughly estimated that it was about fifty meters, the same as the effective range of a pistol.
"The attack distance is slightly longer than the sword energy... not too useless." He calculated again.
Li Shiyin played with the sword for a while and then jumped back onto the roof.
"What is the specific gain?" Qin Ran asked. This is the main effect of this move.
"The speed should be a little more, and the power should be a little less." Li Shiyin recalled, "The speed is four or five times faster than usual, and the power is a little more than double the usual."
"Does it only consume the power of the stars? Will it harm the body?" Qin Ran asked again.
"It only consumes star power..." Li Shiyin replied, "Then, once you perform the Starlight Attraction Technique, you will be connected to the star power between heaven and earth. If it is at night, the star power consumed will just offset the star power attracted, and it can last forever. However, the star power during the day is not strong, and you need to use mana to make up for it, so you can't last too long."
“Hmm!” Qin Ran nodded. He would be relieved as long as he was sure that this move would not cause any harm to himself. He gave his final evaluation, “It seems that this move is not bad. Next, you should practice well and master it as soon as possible.”
"Okay, Master!" Li Shiyin responded obediently.
