Chapter 48 A Heart-breaking Song
After dinner, Qin Ran jumped upstairs, took out his homemade flute, and started playing "woo woo woo".
He made the flute by himself, and the tune was very inaccurate. And he actually didn't know how to play the flute. He was just playing blindly. After playing for so many days, he will be able to play some tunes by now.
After Li Shiyin had eaten, Yu Jian went out for a walk and walked around Danfeng. He came back with Duixi and saw Qin Ran playing the flute on the top of the building, so he flew directly to the top of the building.
"Master, the tune of your flute is not accurate." Li Shiyin said, she put away her sword, held 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 that the flute's pitch was not accurate?
Not very discerning!
After the song stopped, he took the flute in his hand and said quietly to Li Shiyin: "I think you should learn to cook... I am the one cooking, or I am washing the dishes. What does this sound like? It seems like it's me. It’s the same as serving you. I don’t know whether you are the master or I am the master?”
"Master...Master, it's not that serious!" Li Shiyin was a little embarrassed, "Master, I always cook for you. I don't think it's appropriate, but I...you saw it last time."
"Alas..." Qin Ran remembered the miserable situation in the kitchen that time, sighed, and picked up the flute to play again.
For a time, with the blessing of emotion, although it was still out of tune, the sound of the flute finally took on a melancholic and sad flavor.
During the day, Zhui Feng followed Li Shiyin to dig a lake. He was covered in mud and looked as dirty as anything. Qin Ran took the time to give him a bath. The cat has been washed, but its fur is matted. At this moment, he is squatting next to it and licking his fur hard.
When Li Shiyin saw it, she put her sword across her legs, hugged Zhui Feng, rubbed her head, cleared her throat, and sang to Danfeng in the dusk:
“What a magnificent and graceful figure, alone in the world to show off the crowd;
The beauty of the beautiful city is reflected in the rumors.
Wear jade to compare purity, wear orchid to compete for fragrance;
He is gentle and tender in the world, and his elegance is high in the clouds.
………”
Its sound is like a clear spring flowing, and its emotion is also distant and sad. It sounds in the dusk, ushering in the coming night.
Qin Ran's whirring flute 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 echoed.
She sang for a long time, and she didn't stop until the dusk deepened, the night was covered with darkness, and the sky was sprinkled with starlight.
The air was still for a while, then Li Shiyin laughed, turned to look at Qin Ran, and asked, "Master, do I sing well?"
He didn't expect that his stupid apprentice could have such a skill. Qin Ran was silent for a moment, but he was too embarrassed to say something that didn't sound good against his conscience. He nodded and said, "It sounds good."
"Hmph, there is no one in Danyang City who can sing better than me." Li Shiyin raised her chin proudly.
Qin Ran didn't believe this, he complained: "I can't even beat you if I sing better than you, right?"
"Hey!" Li Shiyin lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Huh?" Qin Ran was shocked. Is this really the case?
"How do you know how to sing?" he asked Li Shiyin.
"My name is Li Shiyin, Shiyin Shiyin, but I can't sing!" Li Shiyin said.
"Then can you compose poetry?"
"Won't!"
Kieran rolled his eyes and felt confident.
"What are you singing?" he asked again.
"'Chu Song'!" Li Shiyin said, "Who in Northern Chu can't sing "Chu Song"?"
Qin Ran looked at her but didn't answer... There was a person from Beichu here who couldn'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 laughed.
Kieran was silent again, and it seemed that he was no better.
"Master, don't feel embarrassed. When I first started learning musical instruments, I couldn't play it well. When I first started learning the guzheng, I didn't play well either." Li Shiyin comforted, "And the tone of your flute is not accurate either. Don't blame me. You. I will find time to bring Gao Yunshan over and ask him to make a flute for you and teach you how to play it."
I was really comforted...
Qin Ran's heart was stabbed into pieces. He finally struggled and asked: "Then when did you learn guzheng?"
"Hmm..." Li Shiyin recalled for a moment and said, "I think she was five years old! I can't remember clearly whether she was five or six years old."
Qin Ran lamented, changed the subject decisively, and scolded: "Look at what time it is now, why don't you start practicing?!"
But Li Shiyin had already adapted to his bravado and was no longer afraid of him. She stuck out her tongue in response to his scolding.
The stars have indeed filled the sky. The starry sky at the top of the Summer Night Peak feels so close that you can reach up and touch it.
Li Shiyin sat cross-legged on the roof, with the starry sky above her head. There is no need to set up a formation like the time when she was building the foundation. Her affinity for the power of the stars is now high enough and she can directly attract the power of the stars.
In particular, her consciousness has already taken shape.
Li Shiyin closed her eyes, and she appeared in the vast sea of consciousness - the embodiment of her soul.
This concrete incarnation of the soul raised his hand, activating the only bit of sea water in the sea of consciousness - divine consciousness, allowing this "sea water" to flow, disappear from the void, and appear in the real space.
The incarnation of the soul standing on the sea of consciousness looked up and saw the stars in the sky shining a little light - the power of the stars caused the "sea water" to go up, embrace all the light spots falling from the sky, and then bring them back to the body inside.
The star power in her body started to work, absorbing these light spots.
With this trigger, Li Shiyin's body had an inexplicable attraction, which brought all the light spots scattered from the starry sky together.
The magic power connected the Qingxing Sword, making it float. Li Shiyin slowly found the balance point and introduced the star power into the Qingxing Sword.
Qin Ran was guarding the side. From his perspective as a bystander, at this time, Li Shiyin's body was covered with starlight, as if there were many fireflies in her clothes. She was flashing, and the Qingxing Sword floated in front of her. A starlight belt connected the Qingxing Sword from her palm. The Qingxing Sword went from completely black to light spots on the hilt, and then from the hilt to the tip of the sword, until the entire sword body was eroded by the light spots.
The star power completely entered the Qingxing Sword, Li Shiyin opened her eyes, and she stood up with a flash all over her body. She grasped the hilt of the Qingxing Sword in front of her, and the Qingxing Sword was unsheathed. She turned over and went downstairs.
The sword style started.
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 bit, and all the starlight on the Qingxing Sword condensed to the tip of the sword, and shot out into a point, shooting into the grass in the distance, and blasting a small mud pit.
"A lower-level substitute for sword energy..." Qin Ran commented, shaking his head to express his dissatisfaction.
This move cost all the starlight on the sword, but only caused very little damage. If the sword energy had not been realized, it would be fine. Once the sword energy was realized, this move would be completely useless. And with Li Shiyin's sword talent, the sword energy was almost out.
"What a useless move."
Li Shiyin poured the star power into the Qingxing Sword again. Qin Ran made a slight estimate, and fired all the starlight and then injected it again, with 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 that had just been condensed as far as possible.
In the end, Qin Ran 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 to the roof.
"What is the specific gain?" Qin Ran asked, this is the main effect of this move.
"The speed is a little more, the power is a little less." Li Shiyin recalled, "The speed is four or five times faster than usual, and the power is a little more than twice as much as usual."
"Does it only consume the power of the stars? Will it damage the body?" Qin Ran asked again.
"It only consumes the power of stars..." Li Shiyin replied, "Then, once the starlight-guiding technique is performed, it will be connected with the star power between heaven and earth. If it is at night, the star power consumed will just offset the star power guided, and it can last forever. However, the star power is not strong during the day, and it needs to be supplemented by mana, so it can't last too long."
"Yeah!" Qin Ran nodded. As long as he was sure that this move would not cause any damage to himself, he would be relieved. He gave the final evaluation, "It seems that this move is not bad. Next, you have to practice well and learn to control it as soon as possible."
"Okay, Master!" Li Shiyin responded obediently.
