Lu Zhou turned to look at the Empress Dowager and said, "Do you think the Imperial tutor of Great Yan's Imperial family has the leisure to do this?"
The Empress Dowager sighed.
"The Imperial Preceptor is proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. He occasionally plays the zither, but I've never seen him use this zither. Such an exquisite zither should be a decorative object. "
Lu Zhou shook his head. "Not necessarily."
The others felt that it was just a decoration.
However, for someone as experienced and knowledgeable as Lu Zhou, this should be a zither that could be controlled with Primal Qi.
The system's notification further confirmed this point.
Everyone's eyes were trained on Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou released his grip.
The nine-string zither floated in front of him.
He lifted his hands and placed them in front of him.
Buzz!
The Nine Strings Zither glowed with golden light and expanded to form an energy seal.
The energy seal formed a large Nine-stringed Zither, and energy lines formed between his palms.
Everyone widened their eyes.
Pan Litian said.
"Someone once said that sound techniques are a very profound field of study. However, most cultivators were stuck at the stage of brute force. For example, yelling or cursing others … A true musical expert knew how to use musical notes to confuse one's mind and interfere with one's will. When it's masculine, it's as swift and violent as thunder. When it's feminine, it's as gentle as flowing water … "
"It's a pity that most people like to follow the crowd and pursue the cultivation of all kinds of martial arts. After all, listening to music is not as satisfying as slashing a knife. "
"Hey, Old Leng, do you feel suffocated if you don't argue with this old one?"
"Let's talk about the matter as it stands."
Under normal circumstances, many families did not have a deep enough foundation to learn something as elegant as music.
If a child from an ordinary family were to choose between a zither and a knife, he would choose the knife without hesitation …
However, there were exceptions to everything.
Pan Litian asked, "Conch, how do you explain this?"
Leng Luo glanced at Conch.
He shook his head. "She might be special, but she can't change my opinion."
"…"
Argumentative spirit!
Lu Zhou ignored their bickering and flicked his fingers.
There was a noise …
Lu Zhou really did not know how to play the zither. How would the youth of the modern world have the time to study this? It was not an exaggeration to describe it as "noise".
"Alright! Well played, Pavilion Master! "Pan Zhong applauded.
Swish swish swish.
Everyone shifted their gaze.
Pan Zhong quickly stopped clapping and muttered, "Yes … Not bad …"
Zhou Jifeng glanced at him, his eyes full of disdain. This bootlicker deserved to die a horrible death. Compared to Mr. Eighth, he was far inferior … Eh, where was Mr. Eighth? He shouldn't be missing from this team!
Even the noise.
Everyone listened attentively.
After a period of "enduring".
Lu Zhou shook his head. "Although I know how to control Qi with music, I've never practiced it before. The Nine String Zither … If someone who knows how to use it, I'm afraid it'll be extraordinary."
At this moment, Little Yuan 'er spoke.
"Master, why don't you give it to Junior Sister Conch?"
Conch appeared expectant.
From the moment the Nine String Zither appeared, she had been staring at it without blinking.
It was obvious that she liked the zither very much.
She had almost forgotten … Among her ten disciples, she was the one who was the most proficient in controlling Qi through music.
Lu Zhou retracted his Primal Qi.
The nine string zither returned to its original form.
He flicked his sleeves.
The nine string zither flew toward Conch.
Conch was clearly more excited than usual. She picked up the zither and could not bear to part with it.
She seemed to have forgotten that she already had an instrument, the Lantian Jade Flute.
The Empress Dowager and Li Yunzhao looked at Little Conch at the same time.
"Who's this?"
"This is my new disciple, Conch," Lu Zhou said.
Li Yunzhao praised, "Anyone who's accepted as a disciple by Senior Ji is no ordinary person."
He could sense the flow of Conch's aura. It was easy for him to gauge Conch's cultivation base.
However, he did not dare to underestimate her.
"Hold your breath and focus," Lu Zhou said calmly.
"Oh."
Conch obeyed Lu Zhou's instructions.
She released her grip, and the Nine String Zither hovered before her.
Lu Zhou did not need to teach her what to do after that.
She condensed her Qi into energy.
The Primal Qi that enveloped the Nine String Zither instantly turned into a shining red energy seal.
A Nine String Zither that was about the same size as her was placed before her.
"Red … red energy?!" Li Yunzhao was shocked.
Lu Zhou knew this would definitely attract their attention, but he did not mind.
However, the exclamation reminded the others of something. The four elders and the other disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion looked at Conch in confusion.
'Red energy?
Why is this happening? '
When Lu Zhou saw this, he said in a deep voice, "There's no need to make a fuss."
The four elders immediately understood what he meant.
The pavilion master could unleash golden energy seals or blue energy seals.
There was nothing to be alarmed about when his illegitimate daughter unleashed red energy seals.
The others looked at Conch.
Conch's fingers danced.
The sound of a zither rang out.
Between his fingers, melodious musical notes leaped out one after another.
Although Lu Zhou did not know how to play the zither, he knew that most people played the zither with a seven-string zither. It was rare for someone to play a nine-string zither like this.
He looked at Conch in shock.
He connected all the clues in his mind.
Perhaps, Conch came from that place as well!
Then, musical notes formed from energy drifted out. They flew in all directions like wind blades.
"This is bad!" Li Yunzhao hastily walked up to the Empress Dowager.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The musical notes instantly transformed into sound blades and shot out in all directions.
The melody was like a storm.
Bang, bang, bang!
Lu Zhou activated his protective energy.
The other disciples also activated their Sound Blades to protect themselves.
In an instant, the inner treasury was a mess.
Conch immediately lowered her hands and pressed them down.
He clenched his fists.
The red energy thread dissipated.
The exquisite nine-stringed zither fell back into her hands.
The sound of the zither disappeared.
Conch said apologetically, "Master … I … I didn't do it on purpose …"
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said,
"You've just entered the Divine Court realm. Although you're skilled in music, your mastery and control over music is still shallow."
"I understand. Your disciple will continue to work hard."
Lu Zhou raised his palm.
The energy wrapped around the Nine String Zither and flew back into his palm.
Conch was disappointed.
Lu Zhou said, "The Nine String Zither is a relic left behind by someone else … I'll keep it safe for now."
Conch nodded.
When Little Yuan 'er saw her dejected expression, she hastily whispered into her ear, "Don't worry. No one else in the Evil Sky Pavilion knows music except for you. This Nine String Zither will be yours sooner or later …"
Now that he thought about it, it seemed to make sense.
Conch was in a much better mood. She said, "Thank you, Ninth Senior Sister."
"…"
'I wonder what this little girl is thinking about all the time.'
The Empress Dowager looked at the box on the floor and said with a sigh, "My mission is complete … From now on, I'll have to ask the Evil Sky Pavilion to continue this mission."
"Mission? Maintain world peace? "Lu Zhou wanted to laugh, but his wizened face remained as calm as ever.
"It's only a suggestion. The Evil Sky Pavilion will make the decision."
The Nine-leaf stage would bring disaster. If he followed her suggestion, would he not have to cut himself and lower his cultivation base? Moreover, his true cultivation base was only at the Five-leaf stage.
Lu Zhou said, "What if the tide of the times can't be stopped?"
