Chapter 84 Is there a ghost, who is Xiaoye?
Generally speaking, this is a healthy adaptive behavior, a manifestation of lack of peer interaction and intimate attachment. Cheerful and lively children cannot tolerate the monotonous environment without playfulness and communication, so they have to make up one.
Moreover, since children's brain development is not mature and cannot form a large number of neural connections, the information is stored in a scattered manner, and it appears illogical and unconnected when extracted.
Therefore, they may suddenly say something or a word pop up anytime, anywhere, which has nothing to do with the scene at that time.
It is precisely because children have limited cognitive abilities and poor expression skills that they often let adults explain; and some adults are frightened by explanations.
Xu Qilin didn't know this for sure, but he also hoped that the girl was just talking to herself, not talking to ghosts.
Besides, Xiao Zhao seems to be over the age of Jingyan as the legendary Jingyan. Logically speaking, there should be many ghosts in the world, so how could he only see them in Zhuangzi?
With questions, Xu Qilin found the little girl who was talking to Sun Busan upstairs.
Xu Qilin didn't rush to ask, sat next to him, talking nonsense, and observing the little sister secretly. Looking at her face, mental state, and speaking, he didn't notice anything abnormal, and he felt a little more relaxed.
"Brother, Princess Jinyang wrote to invite me to play in Jiucheng Palace!" Xiao Zhao laughed twice, then showed a dissatisfaction, and said, "I don't want to go, so I talked to A Ke. She said she needed care, and I was learning the piano and singing with her."
"This reason-" Xu Qilin scratched his head and said, "It's barely reasonable, but what if His Highness the Princess invites you to go together?"
"No way?" Xiao Zhao blinked his big eyes and said, "Is A Ke a civilian or a blind girl? Whoever His Highness wants to stay in the palace temporarily, his Majesty also needs to be allowed to let His Majesty give him permission!"
Xu Qilin grinned and said nothing further. Based on how popular Yizi was in front of His Majesty Li Er, as long as she asked for the stars and asked the moon to not give them to him, His Majesty Li Er, would not agree? What's more, just invite more civilian blind girls!
After pondering for a while, Xu Qilin asked tentatively: "Xiao Zhao, you only have no one to accompany you in the village and have no other playmates. Otherwise, I'll find you a few more children of the same age?"
Xiao Zhao shook his head and said, "No, there are Busan, A Ke, and Madam Zheng teaches the Qin. I am not lonely and bored. Besides, when people grow up, they don't always want to play."
"You don't have any other playmates except Busan and A Ke?" Xu Qilin was not relieved and asked again.
Xiao Zhao tilted his head and thought for a while, saying, "There is Meng Zhi, she often comes to play with me."
Xu Qilin nodded. It seemed that the girl hadn't seen anything unclean, and there were no kids playing with her.
A few tinging sounds sounded outside. Xu Qilin looked through the window and saw Zheng Tuantuan teaching A Ke to play the piano.
Well, it’s time to talk to A Ke and learn about the final case. Xu Qilin feels that he is solving the case. Although he doesn’t like it, who made it happen at his home!
A Ke was still so sensitive. Although Xu Qilin took his steps lightly, she still felt it. She turned her head slightly, sniffed, got up to salute, and called "Xu Lang".
Xu Qilin was a little confused whether this girl was listening to her ears or her nose. After seeing the ceremony, she asked A Ke to sit down and chat casually.
"A Ke's piano skills are almost beyond my family." Zheng Tuantuan praised with a gratitude on his face: "Especially the huqin, it is like a complaint and a cry, which is moving."
Xu Qilin nodded and said, "A Ke thinks that he is the one who plays the true feelings in the sound of the piano and the songs. No one can surpass them."
A Ke pursed the corners of his lips, lowered his head slightly, and said shyly: "Sister and Xu Lang have been awarded too much. They are all well taught by Sister, and Xu Lang has also made the huqin exquisitely."
Xu Qilin smiled and said, "A Keer doesn't need to be modest. No matter how good the piano is, it depends on the skill of the player."
A Ke'er blinked and added: "Xu Lang's music score is the most beautiful, and anyone who listens it likes it."
Zheng Tuantuan joked: "But Xu Lang listened the least. You can play a few more songs and let him listen carefully and give him some advice."
Xu Qilin waved his hand and said, "I only have a slight understanding of music, how dare I give A Ke'er guidance?"
A Ke'er smiled and said, "If Xu Lang wants to listen, I am not afraid of showing off my ugliness. But it's better to be in the evening, maybe she will come too!"
She, he, Xu Qilin, was keenly aware of something strange and glanced at Zheng Tuantuan.
Zheng Tuantuan also realized it, frowned slightly, and said in a gentle tone: "Who is she (he)? Do you also know the music and singing?"
A Ke'er seemed to hesitate for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's Xiaoye. Her family lives in a not far away. She will come to listen to the piano and sing secretly, but no one noticed it!"
Zheng Tuantuan's face showed a look of astonishment, and he came to eavesdrop but was not discovered. Is this possible? Could it be that a ghost?
Before Xu Qilin and Zheng Tuantuan asked again, A Keer added anxiously: "I promised Xiaoye that I would not tell others, and you should not go to find her on purpose. If she is discovered, she will be beaten by her family when she goes back."
Xu Qilin reached out to signal Zheng Tuantuan and asked with a pleasant look: "Okay, even if we see her, we won't say it out loud. Since she likes it, it's okay to let her listen."
After pausing, Xu Qilin asked casually again: "Xiaoye is a girl, have you ever talked to you?"
A Ke smiled happily and said, "Xiaoye should be about the same age as my family. She is very shy and dare not show up when there are too many people. She also secretly went to my house and talked to me through the window."
"Haha, it turns out to be a shy girl." Xu Qilin laughed dryly and winked at Zheng Tuantuan. The two of them understood it and stopped talking about Xiaoye's affairs.
After chatting for a while, Xu Qilin said with concern: "A Ke'er, if you feel that Xiaoye is coming, give me a hint. It is not safe for a girl to walk at night at night, I can send someone to escort her home quietly!"
A Ke thought for a while and said, "Xu Lang is thoughtful, how can I make hints?"
Xu Qilin smiled and told A Ke to do a small move that was not very obvious.
Zheng Tuantuan nodded slightly at Xu Qilin, showing appreciation on his face, feeling that Xu Qilin was really smart enough.
Xu Qilin got up and returned to his room, sat in a chair and closed his eyes to ponder, and activated the Soul-Retention Order to use the new functions.
If the Soul-Retention Order can only be used with the name known, it is obviously too underestimated. Xu Qilin actually discovered some methods that may expand functions during the continuous use.
First of all, the Soul-Retaining Order is not an entity, but only exists in Xu Qilin's consciousness. In other words, even if he cuts his head open, he will not be able to find this thing.
Secondly, the Soul-Retaining Order can be moved through consciousness. To put it bluntly, it is equivalent to a stream of energy, or internal force in martial arts novels, which can be moved to hands, feet, and other parts of the body.
Xu Qilin had just tried it briefly before, but he did not have the motivation to develop new functions. There is no need, so why bother to do it?
But now, Xu Qilin started the experiment and slowly moved to his right eye through consciousness control. It was a strange feeling. First, it was swollen, hot and itchy, but his eyelids seemed to be stuck with glue and could not be opened.
Xu Qilin was a little afraid of whether he would ruin his eyes, so he thought about removing the Soul-Retention Order. But at this time, the strange feeling disappeared, and he tried to slowly open his eyes.
There were no strange monsters and monsters, and Xu Qilin felt that he still saw the original scenery.
Haha, I was obviously thinking too much when I ran into a ghost in broad daylight.
Xu Qilin couldn't help but laugh, then leaned into the chair, closed his eyes, and tried to move the Soul-Retaining Order to other parts of his body.
In fact, Xu Qilin didn't know whether this would be useful or what effect it would be. However, being able to skillfully control the soul-retaining order in consciousness is undoubtedly an improvement of his own ability.
It was almost dusk, and Xu Qilin walked out of the room and had dinner with everyone as usual. Everyone was talking and laughing, but it was very lively.
If you observe Xu Qilin carefully, you will find that he is still a little strange. You close your left eye and your right eye, and you will occasionally scan the surroundings.
Xu Qilin could figure out that if the things seen by the two eyes were different, there would definitely be something wrong. Fortunately, there was a comparison and reference, otherwise the person and the ghost would not be distinguished.
In fact, Xu Qilin was not very sure. Using the Soul-Retention Order in this way, he could turn into Yin and Yang eyes and see ghosts that normal people could not see.
But as the night became darker, Xu Qilin also found that there was a difference in the scenery seen by the two eyes. When the right eye saw fog outside, the left eye was still the same.
Is this the yin energy? Xu Qilin put down the bowls and chopsticks, got up and walked back to his room, and used his eyes alternately to look out.
The moonlight poured down, the shadows of the trees were mottled, and the branches and leaves were whispering. The fog slowly gathered, adding a layer of light clothes to the earth, giving the feeling of mystery.
Xu Qilin frowned. The scenery you see in your right eye is darker than your left eye. Could this be the so-called "yin energy"?
Fortunately, there are not as many ghosts as he thought. There must be lonely ghosts, but the number is not very large, right?
Xu Qilin was randomly guessing, walked downstairs and sat down in the chairs in the yard.
The cool breeze is blowing, the moonlight is bright, and the heat of the day has gone away most of the time, which is a comfortable time. But Xu Qilin has something to do, but he is also a little nervous and uneasy.
It was not long since time was right, and Mrs. Zheng, A Ke, Xiao Zhao and others also came to the yard, sat down, savored the tea offered by the servants, and chatted casually.
"Brother, let you listen to me playing the piano to see if I have made progress." Xiao Zhao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and showed off that Busan's piano was carried out.
Xu Qilin smiled and clapped his hands, saying, "That must be a rapid progress. Xiao Zhao is so smart!"
Xiao Zhao laughed and heard the brother’s praise, and knew that he was coaxing her, but he felt very beautiful.
This guqin has also been transformed and can play seven notes. Although it still has a bit of high and low notes, the songs played have become much richer.
The ding-dong dong piano sounded, an ancient song, neither rush nor slow, just like a stream flowing.
Xu Qilin looked slightly and looked at the little girl playing the music with a smile. It is rare to be able to play such soothing music at such an age and not be able to hear any impatientness.
Zheng Tuantuan smiled with a gratitude. After all, she was her teaching. She was so good at playing so well that she was naturally happy.
After playing the song, Xiao Zhao looked up at everyone.
"Okay, it's so good." Xu Qilin was the first to applaud and applauded vigorously.
Everyone clapped their hands, making Xiao Zhao smile happily with a smug look.
"A Ke's song is so good." Xiao Zhao ran to pull A Ke, helped her sit in the chair, and then sat down next to her brother, holding Xu Qilin's arm intimately.
A Ke reached out his hand and gently stroked the strings. He slapped his big eyes a few times, calmed down and pulled out the strings.
Even Xu Qilin was surprised that "Erquan Yingyue" could be played with the guqin. After listening carefully, he had a unique charm and insight.
Compared with the Erhu, the Guqin has less sadness and a unique central and peaceful tone, as well as the clear and faint charm, which makes this song sad but not hurt, resentful but not sad, and has an extra sense of open-mindedness and indifference.
After playing the overture, A Ke started singing:
Listening to the sound of the piano, who walked along the street after dusk with a huqin on his back and along the street with years on his back;
The autumn wind blew up her blue shirt sleeves, and the faint moonlight was thin on the stone road;
Walking far away from the alley, I walked up to the small bridge again, the fields were silent, and the lights were faintly lit and the painting building was reflected;
The person who plays the piano, ask where is the soulmate, and whisper and look back;
I saw the moon shining on Ludizhou, and the moon shining on Ludizhou, the sound of the piano lingers around the jungle, and the heart of the piano trembles;
The sound is like the roar of pine wind, and it is like the rushing spring water, and it is like the rushing spring water, and the haggard soul wanders;
It is hard to look back on the things in my life. Time fades away, and the young hair turns white in an instant;
How can you bear the ups and downs of honor and disgrace without any resentment, and no resentment when you are alone in your eyes;
Only the strings of the piano dissolve the sorrow of separation, and always accompany each other in the morning and evening, and the afterglow of wine is awakened and the afterglow is gone;
The wine is sober and the afterglow is gone. Don’t say that ambitions are hard to sing thousands of songs in your heart, all of which are left for the picturesque landscape;
The world is long and love lasts the longest. I wish all the beacons and the worlds will be collected and every family will play music;
I am happy every year and have no worries every year, and I am happy every year and have no worries every year. Even if a person is like a yellow crane, a piece of pure land is buried in the hills;
This love is endless, the flowers and soulmates of the world are there, and the sound of your piano is still accompanied by the flow of spring water.
A Ke's voice was originally clear and not suitable for singing this song, but his singing skills have been greatly improved now. Sometimes it is low and stable, sometimes it is exciting and stretched, and tenacious and proud.
The word is as round as a pearl falling from a jade plate, as smooth as a spring water, portraying the slightly sad tune and inner emotions to the fullest.
The singing has stopped, the piano sounds are still there until the end of the glittering far away.
