Chapter 288: The Birth of the Sphinx [1]

Staring at the series of jade needles placed on the bed, Zhang Wufeng was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.

A sense of sadness arose in my heart, and an inexplicable feeling of emptiness arose.

Zhang Wufeng did not expect this result. Although he knew that this little girl who looked very similar to the girl in the shadow book did not look ordinary, Zhang Wufeng still did not think that there was a certain connection between the two. However, this result was a little unacceptable to him.

Especially when that special feeling of closeness arose, Zhang Wufeng could not have imagined that this would be the result.

Of course, he didn't want to see such an outcome.

Xie Qianqian fell asleep inexplicably. This result was very similar to what happened to Yang Wubing and others before.

Obviously, once a problem occurs to any person or thing related to Shadow Sky City, the next solution is for the ordinary people involved to lose their current memories. Although Zhang Wufeng has not yet asked Xie Qianqian if she still has memories of Niuniu, he already knows the answer without asking.

This result made Zhang Wufeng feel inexplicably heartbroken, perhaps everything was inevitable and accidental.

Because of some concerns in this regard, Zhang Wufeng devoted himself wholeheartedly to saving the little girl, but he did not expect that the little girl fell into crisis because of his rescue.

He didn't want to take this responsibility on himself, but when Zhang Wufeng thought of the little girl's beautiful, calm, dark eyes, he felt uncomfortable.

"Maybe, when this little girl grows up, she will become the girl from the Shadow Sky City? Or will she have a certain family relationship with her? Is that possible? But she should have no reason to fall in love with me. This is a little different from the girl who told me 'I have no regrets in death'. However, the more I know, the more I can't explain many things. This feeling is very unpleasant."

Zhang Wufeng sighed lightly, then put away the jade needle and walked to the balcony again.

It was 4:35 in the morning, and outside the balcony, the wild cat was still calling out in sexual intercourse.

That kind of heart-wrenching cry like a baby is always a nightmare for many timid people.

Zhang Wufeng looked at the dark sky in the distance. There was a slight hint of paleness in the horizon. It seemed that dawn was about to come.

However, the darkness before dawn is always very deep and heavy.

There is an erhu on the balcony for no apparent reason. It is a shabby and old erhu made of pear wood. Not to mention its value, the smoothness of the erhu, which has been touched countless times, makes people feel a sense of love and heavy warmth.

This erhu represents a kind of gratitude, a kind of responsibility, and also a kind of depth.

Picking up the erhu, the crystal power rolled up, standing on this balcony, gazing at the pale sky in the distance, an inexplicable loneliness shuttled through my heart, and could not dissipate for a long time.

This is not the loneliness of being without anyone's company, nor is it the loneliness of a hero, but a kind of loneliness that comes from loneliness, which is indescribable.

Erquan reflecting the moon.

He gently played the erhu, with such strong self-confidence that he could even make the erhu produce various sounds according to his imagination. However, Zhang Wufeng did not pursue beautiful and melodious sounds, nor did he pursue that kind of evolutionary emptiness. He just played the erhu gently in that state of mindlessness.

Erquan Yingyue, the erhu piece that Blind A Bing liked to play the most, has a unique sense of sadness.

The music started playing, one sound after another, like crying, like polishing, like the cry of the soul, like the sublimation of the mind.

Release, evolve, and sublime.

……

The heavy snow fell like goose feathers, and the ruined park was covered with rubble and debris, beyond recognition.

The sad and mournful sound of erhu came from the street... I saw an old woman with disheveled hair and a blind man leading a small bamboo pole from east to west on the park road. Under the dim light, this was A Bing and his wife.

A Bing held a small bamboo pole between his right arms, a pipa on his back, and an erhu on his left shoulder. He played the erhu with a humming sound, which made a mournful and desperate sound amid the rustling of the snow.

……

An inexplicable feeling kept cleansing his body and mind. Zhang Wufeng seemed to feel that he was standing at the highest point in the world, performing his music to everyone. A throbbing sensation originated from his soul.

This feeling is very good, very profound, and very touching, and Zhang Wufeng was completely immersed in this feeling.

The music of Erquan Yingyue flowed, and the sound was like the sound of nature, flowing in the dark sky. The clouds in the sky kept changing their shapes and flickering, but they did not form a pattern that could represent anything.

Time passed in this unconscious process. When the first red glow appeared on the horizon and rose higher and brighter, Zhang Wufeng came to his senses and stopped playing the music.

A different kind of warm feeling flowed in his heart, and his whole body felt a different kind of warmth and comfort. In this state, Zhang Wufeng clearly felt that he seemed to have made another step forward. The original seventh ring halo had also truly stabilized and was moving towards great success. Once it reached great success, he could use the energy of gratitude again to temper it, allowing it to quickly reach great perfection. In this way, when the halo around the crystal ring flickered, everything became easy.

"The reason why music can elevate people's souls is that music can contain much more than a line of text or a pot of wine. This song "Erquan Yingyue" contains so much.

With my perception, I can actually hear countless feelings. What kind of experience can make such a song be written? We are both wanderers in the world, so why do we have to know each other when we meet? "Zhang Wufeng whispered to himself.

He had already felt the different changes in his state of mind. Although Niu Niu had disappeared, although he did not feel the slightest bit of gratitude, and even some of the Hua Tuo Five Elements Needles had cracks on them, he did not regret saving her at all.

The only thing I regret is that I wasn't able to protect her well.

When he felt a blood connection, Zhang Wufeng could no longer ignore Niu Niu's existence. When Niu Niu left, his heart was filled with emptiness.

I took out my cell phone and checked the time. Time was passing by second by second and there was no sign of it stopping, which meant that everything was real and not a dream.

"Wow—"

The door next to the balcony was opened, and Xie Qianqian walked out wearing purple pajamas.

"Wufeng, you were so tired last night, why don't you sleep a little longer in the morning?" Xie Qianqian asked gently.

"Oh, it's okay to watch the sunrise outside and relax." Zhang Wufeng said with a smile.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy? Listening to you playing "Erquan Yingyue", that feeling makes my heart break so much." Xie Qianqian thought for a while and asked.

"It's nothing, I just thought of Niu Niu." Zhang Wufeng said naturally.

"A girl who thinks like you will feel happy." Xie Qianqian said this subconsciously. As for why she said this, she actually hadn't thought about it herself.

"I hope so. She is a little girl. Do you know her?" Zhang Wufeng asked. Although he already knew the answer was negative, he still asked again.

"This name seems familiar, but I really don't know, is she your sister?" Xie Qianqian asked.

"Sister? Maybe. It's okay if you're not familiar with me. Do you feel okay with your body now?" Zhang Wufeng changed the subject. He didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore.

"Well... it feels very good. Are you leaving today? I, I'm a little worried..." Xie Qianqian said hesitantly.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine. Gu Qingyan will probably bring Ma Yunshan to see me later. If everything goes well, I will take you back to your home and pick up your parents from the hospital so I can help them with their treatment. I will leave after you settle down." Zhang Wufeng said thoughtfully.

"Wufeng, this must be very tiring for you. I, I don't know what to say, and I don't even know how to repay you..."

Xie Qianqian said somewhat at a loss.

Zhang Wufeng could still feel her mentality. If he really wanted her to repay him, their relationship would be more than just what it is now.
Zhang Wufeng smiled and said, "It's okay. Since I'm helping you, I'll just be a good person to the end. Everyone has difficulties. If you are doing well, I will just leave quietly and wish you the best. But if you are not doing well, it's also easy for me. It's okay to help you, so you don't have to take it too seriously."

"Well, thank you very much." Xie Qianqian said sincerely.

……

"That conceited guy played the erhu so beautifully early in the morning that I was almost moved. Alas, I had another happy night with a woman. I feel sorry for Feifei." Sun Yunyun said carelessly.

"That's what you think. A man like him shouldn't sleep with a woman casually. That Xie Qianqian definitely didn't sleep with him, otherwise how could that girl Yunshan run away? I think you are just waiting to find a man to sleep with." Sun Tingting said unhappily.

"I see you are in a hurry to get married and want to find a man to fuck your ass." Sun Yunyun said fiercely.

"You little slut, you are becoming more and more indecent. Forget it, I won't talk to you about this. The appearance of the 'Sphinx' this time has attracted a lot of attention. We have to be careful and try to get it as soon as possible." Sun Tingting said thoughtfully.

"Who knows whether that thing is real or not? Maybe it's just a hoax. They also say that a mirage of one of the seven wonders of the world suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain in the middle of the night. I think it's far-fetched." Sun Yunyun curled her lips.
