Thinking of this, Pei Ziyun said in a low voice, "System!"
A small Plum Blossom quickly appeared and enlarged, turning into a transparent information interface. It gave off a faint sense of light.
Name: Pei Ziyun (Paris)
Occupation: Prince, Shepherd
Martial Arts: Grandmaster (45.7%)
Xiao (Flute): Grandmaster (16.3%)
"Only martial arts have been preserved?" Pei Ziyun seemed to have lost something. After a long time, he smiled. "No, no, there should be more. It's just that Dao can't be used in this world.
But power is power. Even if it can't be used, it's still there. It'll be useful in the future. "
Just as Pei Ziyun was deep in thought, a voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Paris?"
Pei Ziyun looked up in surprise. He saw a blonde girl with blue eyes and a tall figure running out of the forest in the distance.
The girl was wearing a light blue dress and a white veil, showing off her beautiful figure. Her hair was a little messy, and she was panting a little. It was obvious that she had been running from afar.
Pei Ziyun searched through the memories of the original owner and immediately figured out the girl's identity.
"Onone, my dear, why are you here?" Pei Ziyun asked.
"I was sleeping and dreamed that you were drowning in the river. My heart ached, so I rushed over to see you. Seeing that you're fine, I'm relieved." Onone patted her chest and said with lingering fear.
"Onone, how did I drown? Look at me, I'm fine." Hearing this, Pei Ziyun's heart skipped a beat. Onone was the daughter of the river god Cebren, but her rank was not very high. How did she have this dream?
He turned around to prove that 'he' was alive and well.
"That's right. You're the descendant of Zeus and the Ocean Goddess, and you drank the blood of the river god. How did you drown?" Onone muttered softly. Suddenly, she smiled and reached out to Pei Ziyun. "Paris, why are you still in the river? Let me pull you up."
He gently touched the girl's arm and found that her skin was smooth and delicate, not rough like he had imagined. He pulled her up from the river.
"Paris, you've been stealing for so long. Did you lose any lambs?"
"Don't worry, Onone. How could I bear to lose such a cute little lamb?" Pei Zi Yun said.
Ever since Paris was adopted by his adoptive father, Aglaos, he had officially inherited his profession as a shepherd, helping the king in the palace to look after the cattle and sheep.
Looking at the young girl's childish face, Pei Zi Yun sighed to himself. If not for the memories of the original owner, he would never have thought that this young girl was his wife. This was because she looked way too young.
In Paris' memory, his married life with Onone had always been very happy. Even when he knew Onone before marriage, although Onone often teased him, as a poor shepherd, he had never been angry with Onone, and had always enjoyed his time with Onone.
However, under the will of God, all of this could not continue and would be terminated.
In the original myth, Paris fell in love with Helen and eloped with her, which directly led to the outbreak of the Battle of Troy.
The outbreak of the Battle of Troy was a matter of two aspects. On one hand, Greece and Troy fought for supremacy over the Aegean Sea, and on the other hand, it could be the problem of the Olympic divine power. This war could not be stopped.
"But Troy, or Paris, had a fatal flaw. At least on the surface, the cause of the war was the Spartan King's warm hospitality to Paris, but Paris seriously violated the law and the rules of the host by robbing Queen Helen. This was a stain that was hard to erase."
Don't think that this is not important. This will still affect the likes and dislikes of many gods and people, or at least the views of many cities.
Greece was able to gather a hundred thousand troops, and many of its original allies of Troy remained neutral. This was also a major factor, Pei Zi Yun thought to himself.
Onone led Pei Zi Yun back, talking and laughing along the way. Because Pei Zi Yun had memories, he did not give himself away.
On the way back, he also enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Mount Ida.
Of course, Pei Zi Yun had a clear purpose for coming here, and he had a rough idea of what would happen next. On the way back, while enjoying the beautiful scenery, he also quietly prepared.
If there were no accidents, Paris would be the shepherd who would distribute the golden apples to the gods. He had to seize this favorable opportunity.
On the way, as they passed by a patch of wild grapevines, Onone suddenly stopped and asked, "Paris, you have always said that you love me very much, but I want you to personally prove it."
If it was in the past, Paris would definitely say some sweet words to make Onone happy, or even directly kiss her, and this problem would be easily solved.
However, Pei Zi Yun already had a plan in mind. He smiled and said, "My dear Onone, isn't marrying you a direct proof of my love for you?"
"Paris, this is far from enough," the young girl said.
"Alright, Onone, I will let the Goddess of Love witness my love for you with her own eyes, and let her bless our love," Pei Zi Yun said.
"Oh, really, Paris?" the young girl covered her mouth and exclaimed.
"Of course, Onone," Pei Zi Yun replied. At this moment, a strange phenomenon appeared in the distant sky. The clouds were especially bright, and he thought to himself, It's here.
Onone also saw the strange phenomenon in the sky, "Paris, look, what's happening?"
"Onone, I can see it. Something unexpected might happen later. Go hide in the grapevines," Pei Zi Yun said.
"Paris, nothing bad will happen, right?" the young girl asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, Onone. Go hide quickly. No matter what happens, don't come out."
Pei Zi Yun hurriedly arranged for Onone to hide in the grapevines far away. Then, he took out his flute and began to play it.
Pei Zi Yun's music was not something that he had learned himself. It was the culmination of a lifetime's worth of hard work.
These people had learned music for no other reason than for the music itself. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to pass it on to their descendants.
These people had put in a lot of effort into their music. Indeed, when the flute was played, the mountains and rivers would flow under the moonlight, and the sound would enter the clouds.
But even with the memories of so many people, Pei Zi Yun was still unable to become a Grandmaster. It was only when Prince Cheng Shun's note arrived that the Emperor of Awakening Heaven wanted to kill him that he finally expressed his feelings. Thousands of words were gathered into a flute, and he was able to express his true feelings.
At this moment, the sound of the flute was melodious, as if it was telling a story.
The strange phenomenon in the sky lasted for about ten breaths of time. Then, four deities appeared on the mountain. The one in front was Hermes, and behind him were Hera, Aphrodite, and Athena.
Just as Hermes was about to speak, Athena stopped him.
At this moment, Pei Zi Yun's flute attracted the attention of the four deities. They stood there quietly, listening to Pei Zi Yun's flute music. It was filled with the passion and purity of youth.
"I grew up on the beautiful Ida Mountain. When I was young, I was adopted by a kind female bear. She breastfed me. Later, my father, a shepherd, took me in and raised me. I inherited his job and became a shepherd for the king. Although my childhood was difficult, it was filled with happiness.
"I grew up and learned to think. I was good at thinking. I quietly climbed up a tree and looked at the palace of Troy. The palace was grand and glorious. I observed the nobles who entered and left the palace. I was confused. Why were people's lives so different from each other?
"My father, Agraeus, loved me very much, but he was just a servant in the palace. When the king's children were still playing, I looked after every cow and sheep, afraid that they would be lost or devoured by wild beasts. The taste of the whip was terrible. Only Onogne accompanied me.
"Onogne was the daughter of the river god. When I was young, I led a half-starved and half-full life as a shepherd in Ida Mountain. I met the mischievous Onogne. I was herding the sheep, and Onogne dispersed the flock. She made me traverse the mountains in search of the lost sheep.
"When I was hungry, Onogne would shake the fruits on the tree and smash them on my head. When I was tired, Onogne would pretend to howl like a wolf. Just like that, the days passed by.
"I lived a happy life. I herded the sheep and cows for the king every day. Although Onogne was just a little forest fairy, she loved me dearly. She brought me sweet grapes and delicious sheep's milk.
"I was very grateful. I praised the gods in the heavens. They blessed me with this happy life. If they appeared before me, I would definitely thank them for their blessings. Because of them, I could live the life I am now.
"But I was too poor."
All these thoughts of the past and the future flowed through the flute. There was a trace of regret, as if he had let Onogne down.
"Although I was a shepherd, I would definitely win the competition and be rewarded by the king. I would become a citizen and marry Onogne, giving her a good life."
The gods were originally half-closed in appreciation, but when they heard this, they suddenly looked up at Pei Zi Yun. Pei Zi Yun's flute gradually turned passionate, and the sound penetrated into the mountains.
The clear and melodious voice, although filled with passion, was without any impurities. This was a will that was not afraid of the wind and rain for home, for the person he loved.
The feelings and regrets in his heart flowed out.
After Pei Zi Yun became a Grandmaster, the Little Princess said, "Music is for people to listen to. Only with emotion can it be moved. Love, lust, joy, anger, and sorrow can all be turned into music."
"Music is the heart. A person may lie, but it is difficult for her music to lie … If you can understand a person's music, you will definitely be able to read her heart."
At this moment, the flute's sound was too beautiful, so cherished and gentle …
Onogne, who was hiding in the vines, listened quietly. Two drops of tears flowed down her cheeks. The doubts she had when she met Paris earlier had all disappeared. She murmured, "The gods are kind, because they give me a gift that is better than beauty. This is Paris' love."
The four gods listened to the melodious sound of the flute and could not help but be moved. In the eyes of the four gods, this shepherd seemed to be completely immersed in the melodious sound of the flute. His face was so intoxicated that he did not even realize that there were more gods around him.
It was a pity that the gods had already set a destiny for such a person.
All of a sudden, the gods also felt a sense of loss.
