Chapter 301 Xiao Tao
"Om..."
The guqin vibrated slightly, emitting a soft but clearly audible humming sound, as if it had its own consciousness and emotions.
At the same time, the originally dull surface of the guqin began to undergo miraculous changes.
A layer of faint light gradually emerged, like twinkling stars in the night sky.
The light grew brighter and brighter, enveloping the entire guqin, making it appear particularly sacred and solemn.
Xiao Wanwan's eyes were wide open, as if their eyeballs were about to pop out, her face full of disbelief, staring intently at the simple and elegant guqin in front of her.
She frowned slightly, opened her mouth slightly, and let out an inaudible mutter.
"This guy actually responded to me? How strange!"
After saying that, she couldn't help but rolled her eyes and chuckled to herself.
This guqin is really a spirit!
Xiao Wanwan's mind turned, and the guqin instantly flashed out from her sea of consciousness and fell steadily into her hands.
She sat cross-legged on the ground, gently placed the guqin on her knees, and silently recited the mantra of Qingyin Xinglan Jue in her heart.
After everything was ready, she slowly stretched out her hand and gently placed it on the strings. With a little nervousness and anticipation, she carefully wanted to pluck each string.
Xiao Wanwan was shocked to find that no matter how hard she tried, the strings seemed to be firmly welded together and would not budge at all.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get them to budge an inch.
"What on earth is going on?" Xiao Wanwan was full of suspicion and couldn't help muttering to herself.
She subconsciously held the guqin in her arms and carefully examined it inside and out, while her mind kept recalling every detail of the past.
She remembered that when she was kidnapped in the Holy Land, she was clearly able to pluck the strings of the zither.
Unfortunately, she knew nothing about music at the time, and her careless playing not only failed to unleash the harp's power, but also caused her to be seriously injured and nearly died...
Thinking of this, Xiao Wanwan couldn't help but sigh, looking a little depressed.
She sat there, holding her chin with both hands, staring blankly at Yun Mubai and the other three who were still practicing with their eyes closed.
A light bulb went off in Xiao Wanwan's mind, and she suddenly remembered that her fellow brothers needed to infuse their precious blood and essence into refining their own spirit swords.
In this way, the refined natal spirit sword can communicate with the master's mind and have a tacit understanding.
"Yes! Why didn't I think of that?"
Xiao Wanwan slapped her forehead excitedly, her eyes flashing with eagerness, and she couldn't wait to start trying it out.
Just as she raised her hand to take action, her eyes inadvertently swept across Yun Mubai and others who were concentrating on practicing.
Xiao Wanwan couldn't help but shook her head.
If we act rashly at this moment and accidentally make too much noise and disturb them, it would be more trouble than it is worth.
Xiao Wanwan slowly stood up and tiptoed out of the place where everyone was practicing.
Along the way, she carefully passed through the crisscrossing corridors that looked like a maze, and finally arrived at the front yard.
Coincidentally, this was the place where she first obtained the Taoyao guqin. Revisiting the place made her feel emotional.
"Well, here it is."
Xiao Wanwan stopped, looked around, and carefully examined the familiar yet unfamiliar environment around her. A satisfied smile appeared on her face, and she nodded slightly.
She placed the Taoyao guqin in the place where she found it that year, reached out and stroked the body of the guqin, muttering to herself.
"Xiao Tao, do you feel a sense of warmth now that you're back to where you came from?"
Xiao Wanwan took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and cut a small cut on her slender finger.
Suddenly, a trace of bright red blood seeped out.
She closed her eyes tightly and used her internal energy to force out a drop of crystal clear blood from her body.
That drop of blood was like a dazzling ruby, emitting a faint but mysterious light.
Xiao Wanwan trembled as she gently dropped the drop of blood onto a string of the guqin.
What was surprising was that as soon as the essence and blood touched the strings, it disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if it had been swallowed up by an invisible force.
"Hey, why are you not responding?"
Xiao Wanwan waited for a while, and the guqin was still lying quietly in its original place.
It was as if it was just an illusion that she had just swallowed the essence and blood.
Xiao Wanwan looked down at the small wound on her finger, and a surge of strength surged in her heart.
She didn't believe it because she clearly saw the guqin absorbing her essence and blood.
Isn't it enough?
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and used her internal energy again, forcing out a drop of blood from her body, which she then carefully dripped onto the guqin.
However, this time, the speed was even faster than before! As soon as her blood essence touched the zither, it disappeared without a trace, like a drop of water falling into a boiling pot of oil.
Unfortunately, this time the guqin was still silent, and everything that had just happened seemed like Xiao Wanwan was dizzy.
"Oh my god, are you trying to suck me dry? Xiao Tao, I've already told you, this is the last drop, no more. If you like me, then so be it. If not, forget it."
Xiao Wanwan patted the guqin in dissatisfaction and threatened it a few times, saying that she had really spoiled the guqin and had brought it all kinds of bad habits.
"Don't follow me anymore. Just stay where you are."
She took a deep breath, slowly stretched out her fingers, forced out a third drop of precious blood, and let it slowly drip onto the guqin.
As the third drop of essence and blood merged into the guqin, Xiao Wanwan's originally rosy face became paler and paler, and even her lips lost their color, making her look extremely weak.
At this moment, a miracle finally happened! The guqin, which had been silent all this time, suddenly trembled slightly.
Then, a dazzling light suddenly burst out from the body of the piano.
This ray of light was like a nimble dragon, rising into the sky and rushing towards Xiao Wanwan with astonishing momentum.
Xiao Wanwan was startled by the sudden change in front of her and subconsciously opened her arms to block it.
But the light was extremely fast and flew into her arms in the blink of an eye.
When the light faded, Xiao Wanwan found herself holding the guqin tightly.
At the same time, an indescribable strange feeling arose from the bottom of her heart...
She could clearly feel the joy emanating from the guqin in her arms.
"Haha, Xiaotao, are we now in sync?"
Taoyao's guqin trembled slightly, as if she was not very happy.
Xiao Wanwan immediately noticed its displeasure.
"Xiao Tao, you don't like me calling you Xiao Tao? Then what should I call you? Tao Tao? Yao Yao? Or Tao Yao?"
