Chapter 117: The Lute Master's Silver Mirror (Part )
The leader of the Dharma sect is feared by all. His disciples, the guardians and immortal children, are all highly skilled and famous. They not only protect the peace of the sect, but also pass on the teachings of the Dharma sect, making them last forever in the world. In the ethereal third heaven, the leader built nine palaces and eighteen halls. Each hall has its own unique features, and they complement each other, forming a grand system of the Dharma sect.
On the second level, it was a completely different scene. Under each hall, there were thirty-six envoys, and each envoy had a mountain named after him. They each guarded their own territory and contributed their own strength to the Dharma. These mountains were endless, with peaks and ridges overlapping, as if they were the work of nature, complementing the majesty of the Dharma.
Guo Lingli was standing at the foot of a mountain at the moment. She looked up and saw that the mountain was steep and shrouded in clouds and mist. She knew that this was the Meiling Mountain where the plum envoys of the Xun Palace Shenfeng Hall under the command of the Eastern Boy were stationed. The name of Meiling Mountain came from the fact that there was a plum forest on the mountain. Every winter, the plum blossoms were in full bloom, like snow and frost, and were extremely beautiful.
She followed the man wearing the mirror into Meiling. She saw a lush plum forest on the mountain, with abundant fruits. Outside the plum forest, there was a circle of houses, scattered and orderly, simple and elegant. The man was obviously doing well here, with his own private house and yard, and lived a very comfortable life.
When they walked into Merlin, Guo Lingli heard the familiar slogan: "The Dharma is bright, based on kindness, the truth is passed down, and the teachings last forever." This is the teaching of the Dharma, and it is also the creed that every Dharma believer must keep in mind.
She looked around and found that many of the people around her were immortals. They flew or jumped, shuttled above Merlin, and looked very cool. When they saw the man wearing the mirror, they all showed contempt in their eyes.
The man seemed unfazed by this and continued walking forward.
At this time, a man came forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, zither master. The messenger would like to ask how your musical skills are going."
The man answered naively, "I don't understand."
After hearing this, the man could not help but advise: "Someone will come to teach you in a few days. For now, please stay in your own courtyard and don't come out, so as not to accidentally hurt someone."
After hearing this, the man pulled Guo Lingli over and introduced her, "This is Cheng Haoer. I asked him to hold the zither. Please get him an identity token."
The man introduced himself: "I am Wu Tian, the manager of Merlin. Please come with me to apply for an identity token."
But the man refused to let go and insisted, "That won't work. What if you assign him to someone else? Just do it here."
Wu Tian frowned slightly, a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes, but his voice was still gentle: "Yin Jing, stop making trouble. New employees always have to meet everyone when they join the company, so that we don't get to know each other in the future."
The man, Yin Jing, insisted, "No, you can handle it for him here. If you don't want me to complain to Mei Shijie, send someone over here right away. He doesn't need to know anyone else, just me. If he knows someone else and runs away with my zither, who can I turn to?"
Guo Lingli was speechless listening to this, thinking that what the musician said really made sense. It was hard to associate his silly look with the word "smart".
Wu Tian had no choice but to agree to send someone to his courtyard to arrange for Guo Lingli to join the company.
After Wu Tian left, Guo Lingli wanted to talk to Yin Jing, but Yin Jing motioned for him to go into the courtyard first.
The two walked one after the other through Merlin and arrived in front of the quaint and elegant house.
The building is quite elegant in appearance, with blue tiles and white walls, simple yet charming. However, there are two big characters "Qinshi" written crookedly on it. Although the handwriting is irregular, it reveals a sense of freedom and uninhibitedness.
Without thinking too much, these two words must have been written by the zither player Yin Jing. He said to Guo Lingli with great satisfaction: "How is it? I wrote it! Sister Mei praised me for my childish nature. Don't be restrained."
Guo Lingli smiled secretly in her heart and wanted to say, "This is what you want to do." But since he just stopped her from talking, she thought it was not safe to talk here, so she put on a flattering expression and said, "Brother, what you wrote is good, Wang Wang is now a treasure land, and Mei Shi sister said it is good."
After hearing this, Yin Jing almost laughed out loud, thinking that Guo Lingli was also pretending to be stupid? But it was also good to think about it. If he was not stupid, why did he choose him to hold the zither? This reason was reasonable.
The two men pushed the door open and a dog came out to greet them. When it saw its owner coming back, it jumped over happily, wagging its tail and showing great affection.
Yin Jing stroked its head gently, said a few soothing words, let it go back to lie in the doghouse, and then led Guo Lingli into the room.
The layout of the house is simple and warm. In addition to the living room, there are two rooms. One is the bedroom, which is neatly arranged; the other is the piano room, which has a guqin with a faint luster, which looks simple and mysterious.
Yin Jing led Guo Lingli to the piano room, his expression returned to normal, and he said, "It's much safer to talk here."
Guo Lingli smiled and nodded, then said: "I have three questions for you."
Silver Mirror looked at her curiously and said, "Oh? Ask."
"First, why are you called Yin Jing?" Guo Lingli asked.
Silver Mirror gave her a strange look and shook his head, "I'm worried about your IQ."
Guo Lingli blinked and asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Silver Mirror smiled and said, "Can't you see I'm wearing a mirror? Of course they named me Silver Mirror. What a waste of an opportunity to ask a question."
Although Guo Lingli also guessed this, he always felt that it was too casual. But think about it, if he didn't recognize any other name according to his way of thinking, then others would naturally have to call him Silver Mirror.
"Okay, you are smart. The second question is, do you know me?" Guo Lingli continued to ask.
Yin Jing shook his head and said, "How is that possible? I have never seen you before."
"Why do you want me to go with you when you haven't even seen me?" Guo Lingli was even more puzzled.
Silver Mirror explained, "Because you have something familiar to me, I think you might be someone I can work with, so I asked you to come with me. Besides, if you don't come with me and just run around here, you may not live better than if you stay with me."
Guo Lingli was touched when she heard this. It turned out that the silver mirror did not choose her randomly, but because she had something related to him.
But could this related thing be the formation bead? Apart from the formation bead, she didn't know what else on her was coveted by others. However, it was better not to be the formation bead, otherwise, she didn't know what she would do.
"Okay, the third question, what do you need me to do? I can't do the job of serving others." Guo Lingli said bluntly. Guo Lingli was not lying. She had no problem taking care of herself, but she didn't need to take care of this mature man. Not being tricked was the way to protect herself.
Yin Jing looked at her helplessly and said, "Didn't I say you were holding a zither? Don't tell me you can't even hold a zither."
Guo Lingli quickly explained: "What I mean is that it's okay to pretend, but I have never served anyone. Don't blame me if it's exposed."
Yin Jing finally understood and said with a smile, "Don't worry, you just need to help me hold the piano. You don't have to worry about other things. There are others to do it. They will come to check on it regularly. Apart from the piano, everything else is up to them."
