And in these six days, Chu Chen still went to the edge of the abyss to absorb the Desolate Qi every day. The Dark Abyss did not have any strange changes. It was just like before, with only depth and darkness.
On this day, Chu Chen returned to his residence from the abyss. The moment he arrived, it began to rain heavily.
He and everyone sat in a huge pavilion. Outside the pavilion, the rain poured down like torrential rain. Thousands of raindrops fell, enveloping the entire world in a thick layer of water vapor.
For the past six days, there would be a rainstorm every afternoon. It would last for an entire afternoon.
Therefore, after cultivating at the edge of the abyss every morning, everyone would gather in the afternoon because of Chu Chen's return. They would practice their ensemble in the pavilion in the courtyard.
After finishing a song with everyone, Chu Chen's attention was attracted by the increasingly violent rainstorm outside the pavilion.
He had a vague feeling that the rainstorm these past few days was very unusual. However, he could not discover anything even when he spread his spiritual perception that was as vast as the sea.
There was nothing suspicious in the dense rain. Be it the composition of the rainwater, the air or the spiritual power, there was nothing abnormal.
There was nothing abnormal at all.
However, every time Chu Chen looked at the rainstorm outside the pavilion, he felt as though he was looking at a vast ocean formed by rainwater.
And in the depths of this vast ocean, there seemed to be a pair of eyes silently watching him.
For six days, the feeling of being watched did not dissipate.
Something was wrong!
This was definitely not an illusion. Something was really watching him from the depths of the rain. Perhaps, it was also watching everyone in the pavilion.
"Clap clap!"
Two crisp claps sounded, pulling Chu Chen's attention back from outside the pavilion.
Ren Cangling put down his hands and chuckled.
"These days, everyone's performance of the music score has been getting better and better. We've only practiced four times, but the harmony between the notes is already very perfect. However … "
He turned his gaze and scanned everyone in the pavilion. He asked with a smile, "In these four performances, including this one, we have been unable to fuse the seven major melodies into one. We can't even summon the divine power from the first performance. What do you think is the problem? "
Everyone was stunned for a moment. In the next moment, four pairs of eyes simultaneously looked at Chu Chen and Qing Yuan, sweeping back and forth between the two of them.
They were all experts in music, so it was easy for them to figure out where the problem was.
Every time they played together, there would be an obvious crack between Chu Chen's guqin and Qing Yuan's Se tune. They were unable to truly merge together.
Since the two pieces of music could not be combined, the power of this sacred music score could not be fully unleashed. This was the crux of the problem.
Chu Chen picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. There was a smile on his face, but his eyes were very calm.
His behavior had not changed from the beginning to the end. He had been like this since the first time they met.
Occasionally, there would be a faint smile on his face. He looked very indifferent and amiable, as if he could greet anyone. However, his eyes were calm, as if nothing could shake his mind.
Qing Yuan's expression was also very calm, but this kind of calmness was somewhat stiff, and there was a kind of panic that couldn't be concealed no matter what.
"Everyone, let's talk about the crux of the problem."
Ren Cangling still had a very amiable smile on his face, as if he didn't see Chu Chen and Qing Yuan's subtle expressions at all.
"The problem lies with Fairy Qing Yuan and Junior Martial Brother Chu."
The red-clothed Zhou Junling had a puzzled expression. "It's really strange. There's a saying that the guqin and the se harmonize. Junior Martial Brother Chu's guqin and Fairy Qing Yuan's se tune should be the easiest to harmonize. Why is it that their tunes are incompatible and can't merge?"
"The guqin and se don't play together is a great taboo in an ensemble!"
Spirit Sparrow Scholar frowned and lightly snorted. "The harmonization of the guqin and se is the foundation of an ensemble. It's fine if the other tunes don't fit together, but as long as the guqin and se are interspersed and guided, the entire piece won't collapse. Once the guqin and se don't fit together, this crack will be impossible to mend, and the entire piece will naturally collapse! "
"Then, what's going on?"
Guan Ying stared at Chu Chen and Qing Yuan with an ethereal gaze. "Is there some kind of misunderstanding between the two of you? Music is formed by the will of the heart. The reason why your guqin and se don't play together is because there's a gap in your hearts. The two of you don't look like you have a grudge against each other. If there's any misunderstanding, it's best to explain it clearly. "
"It's really strange."
Young Bamboo Shoot Boy, who was beside Elder Ren, said with a puzzled expression, "When we rescued them, Senior Martial Brother Chu's guqin and Sister Qing's se tune were in perfect harmony. Why is there such a huge gap between their tunes after just one day? It looks … It looks like lovers who have broken up and are no longer in contact with each other! "
"Uh …"
As soon as Young Bamboo Shoot Boy finished speaking, the others were startled. Their gazes toward the two of them were instantly filled with different feelings.
Needless to say, the two of them really did resemble each other when they looked at them seriously.
Chu Chen almost spat out a mouthful of blood. This Young Bamboo Shoot Boy's eyesight was really sharp.
Chu Chen felt a little embarrassed when he was stared at by so many pairs of fiery, gossipy eyes. No matter how good his temperament was, he still had that indifferent expression on his face that said that anyone could get close to him, but no one could get close to him.
Qing Yuan, on the other hand, lowered his head deeply and didn't say a word. It was as if he was avoiding something.
"When the ferocious creature appears, Heaven and Earth will weep! Everyone has personally experienced the torrential rain for the past six days. This isn't an ordinary torrential rain. This is Heaven and Earth crying! "
Ren Cangling spoke. The old man's voice contained an unprecedented seriousness.
"Heaven's Weep has already been going on for six days. We don't have much time left. Within ten days at most, the primordial ferocious creature will awaken and appear in the world. Since the problem lies with the two of you, I can only resort to extreme measures at this critical time. "
Everyone was startled when they heard this, and they stared blankly at Ren Cangling.
Elder Ren's hands moved, and a vast amount of spiritual power gushed out. Soon, two exquisite and gorgeous black talismans were formed in his palms.
Then, he said in a low voice, "Excuse me."
With a shake of his hands, the two talismans turned into flowing lights and entered Chu Chen and Qing Yuan's bodies respectively.
"In order to cultivate the tacit understanding between the two of you, I've planted a Telepathy Talisman on the two of you. From now on, the distance between the two of you can't exceed twenty feet for five days and five nights. Once the distance between the two of you exceeds twenty feet, both of you will feel the pain of your soul being torn apart. Once the distance between the two of you exceeds twenty feet for five minutes, the two of you will be automatically teleported together. "
Elder Ren's expression was solemn.
"Your hearts are linked. In order to resolve the knot between the two of you, I can only use the Telepathy Talisman to restrict the two of you."
"This won't do!"
As soon as Elder Ren's voice fell, the white-robed Qing Yuan was shocked. "I'm one of the Nine Heavens, and I have to return to the Nine Heavens Formation Breaking Team every day to deal with many matters. If a man follows me around, how improper would that be?"
