Silver Moon Island, Silver Moon Sea: At the large plaza:
The plaza was a large lawn. After the various zither players exchanged some pleasantries, they sat down cross-legged on the lawn and looked at the small thatched cottage not far away.
Gu Hai's group also found a place to sit down.
One zither player after another entered the large grassy plaza.
"They're here!" Long Wanqing frowned.
"Oh?"
Gu Hai, Venerable Liu Nian, and Shangguan Hen looked over with a frown. They saw City Lord He Shikang enter the plaza. However, Young Master An and Fang Minghou, who carried a golden saber on his back, were beside He Shikang.
"Young Master An is at the side. He will interact with City Lord He later," Venerable Liu Nian said softly.
Long Wanqing nodded.
Not far away, Young Master An and the other two entered and immediately saw Gu Hai's group. When Young Master An saw Gu Hai, depression flashed in his eyes as he snorted coldly.
"Is Young Master An's zither dao very strong as well?" Gu Hai asked, feeling curious.
"Not at all. He is qualified to come because of his identity as the grandson of Lüyang Of Gojoseon. City Lord He is also here because of his identity. He might be able to play the zither, but it will definitely be very weak," Long Wanqing said, shaking her head.
Gu Hai nodded.
City Lord He, Young Master An, and the others took their seats. Fewer people entered after them.
At this moment, a white-clad man slowly walked over.
"Mr. Goode is already here? Greetings, Mr. Goode! "the white-clad man said with a smile.
Gu Hai immediately recognized this person. This was Sima Changkong, the first person to buy his piano.
"So, it is Mr. Sima!" Gu Hai said with a faint smile.
"Greetings, Hall Master Long. Greetings, Venerable Liu Nian. Long time no see! "Sima Changkong said with a faint smile.
"You are?" Long Wanqing felt slightly confused.
Venerable Liu Nian's expression suddenly changed. "It's you, Sima Changkong?"
"Venerable Liu Nian, I am on official business. I hope that you will not reveal my identity," Sima Changkong said with a smile as he looked at Venerable Liu Nian.
Venerable Liu Nian's eyes flickered with uncertainty. In the end, he nodded.
"Then I'll go over there first. Good luck to all of you!" Sima Changkong smiled.
"Alright!" Gu Hai smiled and nodded.
After Sima Changkong walked away, Long Wanqing asked curiously, "Huh? Master Liu Nian, do you know Mr. Sima? "
Venerable Liu Nian frowned slightly and said, "The person who nearly became the top scorer in the previous exam."
"Me? The champion of the Da Qian Celestial Empire? "Long Wanqing asked in surprise.
"Just a little. Back then, his writing suppressed all the other examinees. All the examiners thought that he would definitely become the top scorer, the top scorer in that exam. Unfortunately, he wrote something during the palace examination, which angered His Holiness. Hence, His Holiness chased him out of the examination hall. Hence, he did not become the top scorer in the end, "Venerable Liu Nian explained.
"Huh?"
"However, he was still a provincial scholar. Although he was chased out of the examination hall, he still holds a position in the Da Qian Celestial Empire. However, he is not as impressive as the top scorer. He is not someone to be trifled with, "Venerable Liu Nian said with a frown.
Gu Hai frowned as he looked at Sima Changkong, who was not far away. He nearly became the Da Qian Celestial Empire's top scorer?
Just as Gu Hai looked at Venerable Liu Nian, he suddenly felt a murderous intent envelop him.
Gu Hai turned his head and saw Fairy Wan 'er sitting in a corner not far away. She was looking at him coldly as if she wanted to tear him apart.
Fairy Wan 'er?
Gu Hai smiled faintly in that direction.
Xiao Chen's friendly smile turned into mockery in Fairy Wan 'er's eyes.
"Humph! Gu Hai, I will teach you a lesson. I will expose you! Liar! You do not have the state of the Zither Dao, yet you are still pretending. Liar! Humph! "Fairy Wan 'er muttered to herself.
Clang!
A soft sound suddenly came from the small thatched cottage not far away.
Everyone's expressions suddenly turned solemn. They stopped talking and looked at the nearby thatched cottage.
"Fellow Daoists who are not here to participate in the Zither Impartation Conference, the Silver Moon Sea will be sealed off soon. If you do not leave now, you will not be able to leave for a while. The seal will only be lifted after the Zither Impartation Conference ends! "An aged voice came from the thatched cottage.
This voice immediately spread to the surroundings of Silver Moon Island. Then, it quickly spread throughout the Silver Moon Sea.
At this moment, many cultivators were watching from the surrounding islands around Silver Moon Island. When they heard the old Manor Lord's voice, they all frowned. Then, determination flashed in their eyes, unwilling to leave.
Creak!
The door of the thatched cottage slowly opened.
From inside, an old man in white slowly walked out. He walked very slowly. His face was covered with age spots, and his hair was withered. Yun Mo immediately went forward and supported the old man.
"Greetings, Manor Lord of Silver Moon Villa!"
"Greetings, Manor Lord of Silver Moon Villa!"
…
…
…
All the zither players said respectfully.
The old Manor Lord of Silver Moon Villa?
Supported by Yun Mo, the old Manor Lord walked to the door quietly. He slowly sat down cross-legged on the lawn. He stroked a guqin that was about to decay in his hand.
After looking at the surrounding people, he suddenly saw Gu Hai and recognized him with one glance.
"Mr. Goode, I like your Canon very much!" The old Manor Lord looked at Gu Hai and smiled.
"Gu Hai is ashamed. As long as the Manor Lord likes it!" Gu Hai said with a smile.
"I am old, so I like to listen to different tunes. Haha!" The old Manor Lord smiled slightly.
Everyone quieted down.
The disciples of Silver Moon Villa sat beside the old Manor Lord.
The Old Manor Lord looked at the people around him and took a deep breath. "Everyone, I'm old and my time is almost up. After this Guqin Conference, I may pass away. I have a request for all of you!"
"Go ahead, Manor Lord!" Everyone said one after another.
"This is the Young Manor Lord of Silver Moon Villa, Yun Mo! He is the descendant of Mr. Silver Moon's bloodline. When I am gone, I hope all of you can take care of him! When I am about to pass away, I can't let go of Yun Mo. Sigh! "The old Manor Lord sighed slightly.
"Manor Lord! You will be fine! "Yun Mo's nose twitched, and his eyes turned red.
"Rest assured, Manor Lord. As long as the Young Manor Lord doesn't give up, we will do our best to help you!"
"Rest assured, Manor Lord!"
"Young Manor Lord Yun Mo's business is our business!"
…
…
Everyone nodded.
The old Manor Lord smiled and nodded. "Alright. I invited all of you here today to decide the ownership of the last Sky Grade Zither of Silver Moon Villa, 'Gouchen'. Gouchen is one of Mr. Silver Moon's best works. I am useless in this life, and I can't make a Sky Grade Zither. However, the Young Manor Lord Yun Mo is different. Although he is not as good at music, he is better than me at making zithers. Maybe, maybe one day, he can reach Mr. Silver Moon's level and make another Sky Grade Zither! "
"Oh?" The eyes of the zithers around suddenly lit up.
Yun Mo? Previously, no one paid attention to him. Under the glory of the old Manor Lord, Yun Mo was very dim. However, if he could make a Sky Grade Zither, it would be different. Today, it was fine if they got the Gouchen. If they couldn't get it, if they befriended Yun Mo, would they …?
"Don't worry, Manor Lord. With us here, no one will bully Silver Moon Villa!"
"Yes, if Young Manor Lord Yun Mo needs anything, just call me!"
…
…
…
Everyone looked at Yun Mo with fervent gazes.
However, Yun Mo didn't look at anyone. Instead, he looked at the old Manor Lord with red eyes.
The old Manor Lord looked at the 600 zithers around him and smiled. "Some of you are from the Da Qian Celestial Empire, and some are from other places. You all came for Gouchen, so I won't waste any more time. It's time for Gouchen to meet you all!"
After the old Manor Lord finished speaking, the disciples of Silver Moon Villa quickly stood up and waved their hands. They opened the thatched hut instantly. They placed the dismantled hut not far away, revealing a round altar in the middle.
The altar was placed in the thatched hut.
"A Sky Grade Zither. Where is Gouchen?" Some of the zithers asked blankly.
A faint blue light was shining on the altar not far away. The blue light surged into a man in purple on the altar.
The man in purple had a jade-like face. He looked like an ordinary young man. His eyebrows were raised, and he had an extraordinary murderous aura! In between his eyebrows, there was a golden birthmark shaped like a Sky Thunder. The murderous aura in between his eyebrows was even more threatening.
Light breathing sounds came from the man in purple. He sat there quietly, as if he was adjusting his breath or sleeping. He didn't move.
Apart from this man in purple, there was nothing else.
"Where is the Sky Grade Zither? Where is Gouchen? "Everyone looked at the old Manor Lord blankly.
The old Manor Lord smiled and said, "This is the Sky Grade Zither made by Mr. Silvermoon, Gouchen!"
"Huh?" All the cultivators were slightly stunned.
"What do you mean? Where is the zither? "
"Why don't I see it?"
"Yes, are my eyes playing tricks on me? Is this zither transparent? "
"Could it be transparent in front of the man in purple?"
…
…
…
Everyone was at a loss.
Not far away, Fairy Wan 'er, Sima Changkong, and the other zithers were extremely quiet. They stared at the man in purple in front of them.
"This … This is Gouchen?" Sima Changkong said in shock.
"Where?" Everyone looked at Sima Changkong.
"It's him. This man in purple is Gouchen?" Sima Changkong said in shock.
"Uh!" Everyone was stunned.
This person is a zither? Is this a joke?
"That's right. This is the Sky Grade Zither, Gouchen, that Mr. Silvermoon said he made! This is its appearance! "Solemnly, the old Manor Lord said.
"Making a person? A person Mr. Silvermoon made? The Zither Dao can create souls. Is Mr. Silvermoon trying to create a person? "someone asked in shock.
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
The old Manor Lord smiled and said, "It's not a person yet. It's just a Sky Grade Zither. This is its appearance. However, as you said, it has a soul. It's just temporarily separated. When the soul is poured in, it will be the time to unseal this Sky Grade Zither."
Everyone suddenly fell silent.
Gu Hai looked at the man in purple who was adjusting his breath on the altar. How could he have thought that it was a zither?
Gouchen? Gu Hai had thought of many forms before, but he never thought that Gouchen would look like this. It was actually in the shape of a person? Is this still a zither?
