Chapter 73 Love Under the Moon
In the deep mountains behind the Biluo Palace, there is a forest shrouded in a mysterious aura - the Spirit Beast Valley.
This is a pure land in the world of cultivation that has not been disturbed by the hustle and bustle of the world. All things are spiritual and live in harmony.
The moonlight is like water, gently falling on the lush forest, covering the quiet night with a layer of soft silver gauze.
In this dreamlike land, Tan Yuan and Yan Wu, an enviable Taoist couple, are enjoying their peaceful time.
Tan Yuan, dressed in a flowing green robe and holding an ancient flute, stood by the stream. The melodious sound of the flute rose with the wind, passing through the forest and valley, as if it could awaken all sleeping things.
His eyes are gentle and deep, as if he can see through all the beauty in the world.
And Yan Wu, wearing a red dress as red as fire, looked even more beautiful and charming under the moonlight.
She danced gracefully to the sound of Tan Yuan's flute, and every movement was full of agility and rhythm.
It was as if she was the elf in the forest, becoming one with the moonlight and the sound of the flute, performing a love story that transcended time and space.
Not far away, on an ancient giant tree, sat a young man, Jin Xi. He was the child of Tan Yuan and Yan Wu. He inherited the excellent genes of his parents. He was not only talented, but also had a pure and kind heart.
He held a leaf in his mouth and imitated his father's flute sound. Although it was a little childish, it had its own unique flavor.
Jin Xi's eyes were full of admiration and respect for his parents. He listened quietly, feeling this rare warmth and happiness.
On the grass on the other side, Taoist Xuanqing sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and concentrated, with a faint spiritual energy surrounding his body.
Although he is still a young man, his cultivation is unfathomable. He is a good friend of Tan Yuan and Yan Wu, and the protector of their family.
Although Taoist Master Xuanqing did not participate in the joy under the moon, his heart was closely connected with this beautiful picture, and he silently prayed for this tranquility and harmony.
As Tan Yuan's flute music and Yan Wu's dance became more moving, the spirit beasts in the Spirit Beast Valley were also attracted by this powerful force.
They either approached silently or circled in the air, expressing their love and respect for the performance in their own unique way.
A snow-white fox quietly poked its head out from the woods, its crystal clear eyes sparkling with curiosity and excitement.
It jumped lightly, trying to get closer but not daring to disturb the tranquility.
Finally, it mustered up the courage and shouted in its clear and sweet voice: "What a beautiful song, what a beautiful dance!"
This call seemed to open the chatterboxes of the spirit beasts, and for a moment, all kinds of sounds came one after another.
A giant crane spread its wings and soared high, circling in mid-air, responding with its long and melodious cry: "Yes, this is not only a feast for the eyes, but also a baptism of the soul."
A group of colorful butterflies danced around Yanwu, their wings flashing with fluorescent light, which contrasted with Yanwu's red skirt, creating a beautiful scene.
A psylocke spoke on behalf of all the butterflies: "We have never seen such a moving scene. May this beauty continue forever."
Even those spiritual beasts that are rarely seen in normal times, such as the majestic spiritual lion and the mysterious spiritual snake, made an appearance. They either crawled on the ground or hovered in the air, expressing their praise and awe for the performance in their own ways.
Just when the performance under the moon was reaching its climax, an unexpected change suddenly occurred.
A powerful evil spirit surged from the depths of the Spirit Beast Valley, breaking the tranquility and harmony.
Wherever the evil spirit passed, the grass and trees withered, the spirit beasts wailed, and the entire Spirit Beast Valley suddenly fell into chaos.
Upon seeing this, Tan Yuan and Yan Wu immediately stopped playing and dancing. They looked at each other and understood each other's intentions without saying a word.
Tan Yuan quickly summoned his sword, pointing the tip of the sword directly at the source of the evil spirit.
Yan Wu formed seals with his hands, preparing to cast a powerful spell to resist the invasion of evil spirits.
Seeing this, Jin Xi was not willing to be left behind. He quickly jumped down from the tree, holding a small flying sword, and bravely stood beside his parents.
Although he is young, his heart is full of desire for justice and protection for his family.
Taoist Xuanqing slowly opened his eyes, and a solemn look flashed in his eyes.
He was well aware of the power and strangeness of this evil spirit, but as a cultivator, he was even more aware of his responsibilities and mission.
He stood up and waved his hands lightly. A powerful spiritual power surged out of his body, instantly enveloping Jin Xi and building a solid defensive barrier for him.
……
Longyin Hall, this ancient and mysterious holy place for cultivation, is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, as if isolated from the world.
Inside the hall, Xu Wan lay quietly in Yun Che's arms, their breathing intertwined in the quiet air, forming a warm picture.
However, this tranquility did not last long. A sudden sound of a flute, like a clear spring, penetrated the entire Dragon Roar Hall and awakened the two sleeping people.
The sound of the flute is melodious and profound, with an indescribable magic that makes people yearn for it.
Xu Wan opened her hazy eyes and looked towards Yun Che, curiosity and anticipation gleaming in them.
"Master, it's Tan Yuan's flute. He seems to be calling us."
Her voice was soft and affectionate, as if it could melt all the coldness in the world.
Yun Che smiled faintly, his eyes filled with doting towards Xu Wan.
"Since you want to go, let's go and take a look."
After he finished speaking, he waved his sleeves lightly, and the two of them instantly disappeared in the Dragon Roar Hall, leaving only a faint fluctuation of spiritual power.
Spirit Beast Valley, a place full of unknowns and challenges, is a treasure land for cultivators to train and explore.
When Xu Wan and Yun Che arrived, they saw monsters in the valley scattered everywhere, roaring to the sky, and the grass and trees withered, as if something terrifying was approaching.
In the midst of this chaos, Tan Yuan, Yan Wu and Taoist Xuan Qing were concentrating and on guard, their figures standing out among the group of monsters.
"Tan Yuan, what happened?"
Xu Wan shouted anxiously, her eyes scanning the surroundings, trying to find the source of the evil energy.
Tan Yuan stopped playing, turned to look at Xu Wan, a complicated look flashing in his eyes.
"Wan'er, we have encountered an unprecedented evil force, and it is trying to erode the entire Spirit Beast Valley."
His voice was deep and powerful, revealing an unquestionable firmness.
Yan Wu clenched his fists, his eyes burning with a raging fire of war.
"We can't just sit back and do nothing. We must purify this evil energy as soon as possible!"
Her tone was resolute, as if she was ready for a fight.
When Taoist Master Xuanqing saw that his Grandmaster and his Master had arrived, he looked like a child who had done something wrong. He immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Grandmaster and his Master! Sorry to disturb your sweet dreams!"
“That’s fine.” Yun Che waved his hand, his gaze fixed on the evil aura.
Yun Che took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to silently recite the ancient spell.
As his spell sounded, the air around him seemed to solidify, and a pure and powerful spiritual power surged out of his body, sweeping towards the direction where the evil energy was spreading.
The evil spirit seemed to sense the threat and began to struggle and counterattack frantically, but in front of Yun Che's endless spiritual power, it seemed so small and powerless.
Soon after, the evil spirit was completely purified, and the Spirit Beast Valley returned to its former tranquility and harmony.
As night falls, all is silent in the Spirit Beast Valley except for the twinkling stars, which, together with the occasional low hum of spirit beasts in the valley, create a tranquil picture.
The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on everyone's tired but determined faces.
Yun Che lightly waved his sleeves, and a stream of clear spiritual energy surged out of his body, slowly unraveling the magic circle that Xuan Qing had set up to protect the Golden Light Spirit Beast in the valley.
The light of the magic circle gradually dissipated, and a handsome young man happily jumped out and ran straight towards Yun Che, saying loudly: "Uncle, you are so powerful!"
“Haha, Jin Xi, how’s your training been going lately?” Yun Che smiled and patted Jin Xi’s head.
"Well, I feel like I've made a lot of progress!" Jin Xi said excitedly, "Thanks to my uncle's guidance."
“But relying solely on me teaching you isn’t enough. You still need to practice more on your own.” Yun Che said earnestly.
"I know, uncle! I will try my best!" Jin Xi nodded seriously.
Looking at Jin Xi's determined expression, Yun Che felt very relieved.
He believed that with Jin Xi's efforts, he would be able to become an excellent cultivator.
Seeing this, Xu Wan's lips curled up into a gentle smile. She gently touched Jin Xi's head and looked at the young man in front of her with eyes full of doting: "It's been a few days since we last met. Jin Xi, you've grown so much."
"Yes, but mother always treats me like a child. And Xuanqing does the same. He trapped me in a magic circle and prevented me from using my skills."
Jin Xi clenched his fists, a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
Xu Wan smiled and said gently, "Jin Xi has grown up, but don't underestimate the enemy's cunning. Xuan Qing is also protecting you."
Xuanqing held his forehead, speechless. This little guy really would complain to his master.
……
The six people sat around the campfire, the firelight shining on their tired but satisfied faces.
Xu Wan nestled in Yun Che's embrace, her eyes gently gazing into the distance. Suddenly, she asked, "Master, can you play the zither? I found a guqin deep within my spiritual veins, and I feel a connection to it."
Upon hearing this, Yun Che smiled gently and said, "Wan'er, you want to learn the guqin. The guqin is a tool for self-cultivation and can also be used as a magical instrument. If you can grasp its essence, it will greatly benefit your cultivation. Since you have obtained this guqin, it is fate."
When Xu Wan heard this, a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes. She stood up and took out the guqin from the storage ring.
The guqin is simple and elegant, with intricate runes engraved on its body, as if it contains endless stories and power.
She gently stroked the body of the zither, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart, as if she had an inextricable connection with the zither.
Yun Che took the guqin, placed it on his knees, gently stroked the strings with both hands, and closed his eyes to concentrate.
A breeze blew by, causing the treetops to sway gently, as if they were looking forward to the melody that was about to sound.
As Yun Che's fingers gently plucked the strings, a wisp of clear and melodious music instantly spread out, piercing the night and the hearts of everyone present.
The sound of the piano is sometimes like running water in the mountains, clear and deep.
Sometimes it sounds like the chirping of birds in the forest, cheerful and lively.
Xu Wan leaned on Yun Che's shoulder, a happy smile on her face, as if the whole world had become gentle with the sound of the piano.
Everyone was fascinated by what they heard.
Tan Yuan's eyes flashed with admiration and envy, while Yan Wu whispered praises from time to time.
Taoist Xuanqing, on the other hand, had a look of awe on his face. He knew Yun Che's cultivation and talent very well.
The piano music gradually becomes more and more beautiful, as if it can evoke the deepest emotions and memories in people's hearts.
Xu Wan's eyes were slightly red, and she whispered softly in Yun Che's ear: "Master, you seem to be omnipotent, and your zither skills are so superb."
Yun Che chuckled softly, his tone filled with a hint of doting: "Master knows a lot of things, Wan'er, do you want to learn them all?"
Xu Wan looked at Yun Che with a determined gaze and said, "Yes! I want to learn everything that Master knows."
……
The song ended, but the lingering sound lingered for a long time. Yun Che gently placed the guqin into his storage ring and turned to look at Xu Wan, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection.
"This zither is indeed destined for you." He said slowly,
“You know, every guqin carries the emotions and stories of its owner.
The melody of the zither you have acquired seems to hold an inexplicable power; perhaps it is the zither that has chosen you."
Yun Che's inner monologue: "This guqin was given to you by my master, whose spirit left his body and transformed into the Qin Demon deep within his spiritual veins."
When Xu Wan heard this, she felt inexplicably moved.
She held Yun Che's hand tightly, her eyes gleaming with determination: "Master, I will cherish this zither and practice hard to live up to your expectations."
Yun Che nodded and gently patted the back of Xu Wan's hand. "Wan'er, you possess a pure and resilient heart, which is a cultivator's most precious quality. I believe that you will go even further in the future."
“Let’s go back to Dragon Roar Palace!” Yun Che patted Xu Wan’s head lovingly.
Afterwards, the two of them stood up, and Yun Che said sternly to everyone, "All of you come to Lingxiao Palace tomorrow morning..."
Tan Yuan and Yan Wu laughed and said, "We have made great contributions in finding the spiritual vein this time. The Emperor must reward us generously!"
Jin Xi shook Yan Wu's hand and said coquettishly, "Aha, I can go to Lingxiao Palace to play too."
Xuanqing bowed respectfully and said, "I will follow the arrangements of our Grandmaster and Master."
Yun Che gently embraced Xu Wan and leaped onto the clouds, flying shoulder to shoulder with the moon. Gradually, his figure blurred...
