In the Temple of Providence, the chanting of "Remembrance of Your Charm: Remembrance of the Past in the Crimson Cliff" was still going on.
["Back then, Gongjin, Xiao Qiao was married for the first time. He was handsome and had a feather fan."]
The Cao-surnamed pipa woman was a little gloomy at the first line of the poem.
She was probably thinking of Zhong Zhou again. For the people of the Musical House settlement, Zhong Zhou was a "handsome" person in the Ten-Species Competition. Although he wasn't as handsome as the "feather fan", he still attracted the admiration of a lot of female natives in the Musical House settlement!
Of course, all of them had been killed by the Magma Monsters!
"This' Song of Ci 'is truly written with words that reach the clouds. Every sentence is vast and mighty, and every word is magnificent. I wonder what kind of person could have written such a poem. "
Then, the Cao-surnamed pipa woman came back to herself and focused her attention on the poem itself.
As an ancient court musician, she was not like modern people who only remembered the singer of a classic song. In her heart, the admiration she had for the "lyricist" was no less than that of Zhou Yu.
"It's' Hermit Dongpo '. You'll probably meet him on the Twin Dragon Island in the future …"
Su Nongying said confidently.
"The Twin Dragon Island?"
That made the pipa woman fall silent.
Obviously, although the Twin Dragon Island had taken over the Musical House Island, and even the core of the Musical House settlement was in Ji Ye's hands, they might not be planning to reestablish the Musical House settlement.
Of course, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing for the Musical House settlement, which only had one adult and four children left.
"Look!"
An Quan's voice, however, interrupted the communication between the two women.
It was because the sacrificial battlefield in the Temple of Providence was already ablaze with flames!
The Yuan army tried to cross the Yangtze River step by step with chains, but Zhou Yu simply abandoned his warship and destroyed it with fire. He even burned the Yuan camp on the shore that was densely packed because the battlefield was large enough.
Instantly, the camp was set on fire for seven hundred kilometers!
"Attack!"
Then, the Wu army abandoned their warships and went ashore in the middle of the flames.
As the flags of "Zhou", "Cheng", "Huang", and "Gan" fluttered, a bunch of heroes and generals who were at the level of the "Twelve Tiger Ministers" of the River East marched in with an army.
The hundreds of thousands of Yuan soldiers, who had already been badly burned in the flames, finally collapsed.
["Feather fan and silk handkerchief, in the midst of conversation and laughter, the oars turn to ashes."]
The sound of chanting was just right for the scene.
"Ding!"
On the other side of the Yangtze River, the Phoenix incense burner in front of Zhou Yu, who was dressed in white and playing the zither, had burned out the last wisp of white smoke!
"The heroes from Earth are not bad … I hope we can fight side by side one day."
On the other side of the river, the Yuan emperor, who was fading away, suddenly shook the Sonic Bow in his hand.
Although they couldn't communicate with each other because of the language barrier, the people in the Temple of Providence could sense it.
Whoosh!
And the moment before it disappeared.
The Yuan emperor drew the Sonic Bow in his hand and shot it like a full moon.
The transparent Sonic Bow turned into a streak of light that crossed the broad Yangtze River and reached Zhou Yu. In the middle of the white and silver brilliance, it turned into seven transparent "strings".
[Musical String]
[Level: Special]
[Rarity: Perfect (Rare)]
[Description: The Yuan emperor's treasure, the Sonic Bow, has been transformed into strange strings by the human race's power of providence.] [It can be attached to anything and transform it into a zither, granting it the corresponding Extraordinary power!]
[Remarks: "Fuxi made a zither with one string that is seven feet and two inches long", "Shun made a five-stringed zither to sing the south wind", "King Wen and King Wu made a seven-stringed zither to match the sun and the moon".]
"This Yuan emperor … is truly remarkable!"
Inside the Temple of Providence, Elder Zhou complimented him.
"Well, he obviously went easy on us in this battle!"
Ji Ye nodded.
Just like Black Mountain, who belonged to the world of Cultivators, the Yuan emperor didn't try his best in the ritual test.
Otherwise, with his level of martial arts, he wouldn't have chosen such a battle of wills. Instead, he would've approached Zhou Yu directly. Even though Zhou Yu was a Perfect Transcendent hero, he might not have passed the test.
Furthermore, he probably went easy on Zhou Yu in such a battle of wills too.
In the historical records of the Yuan people on the Battlefield of Providence, this Emperor Yuan had made an astonishing achievement of conquering 15 countries and 103 cities in one year. He was so experienced in commanding that he wouldn't have made such mistakes as setting up camps and locking up the city.
That was rather interesting.
In the history of the Yuan people, this emperor was known as a tyrant, and the East King, who had usurped the throne, was known as a wise king.
However, compared to the test that Zhao Yun went through when she arrived, the tyrant was clearly more tolerant than the wise king.
At this moment, the Temple of Providence had returned to normal. On the altar where the Soul of Civilization was placed, Zhou Yu's appearance was completely revealed. He wasn't wearing a feather fan and silk scarf as described in the poem "Remembering Your Charm". Instead, he was wearing a red cloak and a white scholar's robe on the battlefield. His face was as smooth as jade, and his eyebrows were like the stars in the morning.
"Greetings, everyone!"
Zhou Yu, who was holding the "Musical String", greeted everybody in the temple. His voice was as gentle as jade, exactly like the "Jin" in his courtesy name!
[Zhou Yu]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-8]
[Rarity: Quasi Boss]
[Description: A famous minister of the Wu Kingdom, one of the 72 generals of the Temple of Martial Arts. He's good at music and good at strategy. He's a great hero and a handsome husband!]
It was worth mentioning that the Land of Inheritance's evaluation of Zhou Yu was even higher than Zhao Yun and Li Yuanba. He was a Quasi Leader.
He was also the second Quasi Boss hero on the Twin Dragon Island apart from Lu Zhishen.
It didn't mean that Zhou Yu was stronger than Zhao Yun and Li Yuanba. In fact, in terms of combat ability, he, as a scholar general, was definitely not as good as them.
The reason why he was rated as a Quasi Boss was probably because in both history and novels, Zhou Yu was an important minister in the east and a governor.
He even became one of the 72 generals of the Temple of Martial Arts in the future!
It wasn't strange that such a hero was rated as a Quasi Boss!
"With Gongjin's arrival, we won't have to waste any effort to finish off the Magma Monsters!"
Ji Ye looked at Zhou Yu with a smile that was as refreshing as a spring breeze.
At this moment, he was no longer as excited as before when he saw the historical figures. He was more like the leader of a human settlement.
Although Zhou Yu seemed to be older than him, since he had already called him "Zilong" and "Yuanba", he didn't mind calling him "Gongjin"!
