Gu Qingfeng had been standing next to the stone tablet all this time. He was deeply moved when he heard that a hundred years had passed since the cataclysm, and that the era before the cataclysm had been categorized as the ancient times.
To be honest, Gu Qingfeng wasn't the least bit surprised that the era before the cataclysm had been categorized as the ancient times.
The primordial, primordial, and primordial eras had all evolved in this way. Almost every cataclysm represented the end of an old era and the beginning of a new one.
As for why the cataclysm happened and why the heavenly dao judged all evils in the world, this could only be said to be the result of the evolution of the heavenly dao's essence. It was also an inevitable law of historical development.
The only thing that made him sigh was that he hadn't expected to have 'fainted' in Chiyan Ridge for a hundred years … This gave him some understanding.
"Auntie, do you think King Chixiao will really be reincarnated?"
The valiant-looking girl asked as she looked at the stone tablet. "Many great ancient powers have been reincarnated after the cataclysm … Why isn't there any news of the King?"
"How would I know? Ever since the cataclysm, there's been a rumor every year that the King will be reincarnated … But it's been almost a hundred years, and there's still no sign of the King's reincarnation. Besides, the King was judged by the immortal dao three hundred years ago, and the Gate of Reincarnation only opened when the cataclysm happened …"
"Didn't they say that the King wasn't judged to be dead by the immortal dao? Instead, he ascended to the celestial realm under an assumed name. If that's the case, the King should be reincarnated as well … "
"Girl, these are all rumors. No one knows whether the King was judged to be dead by the immortal dao or not."
Many great ancient powers had been reincarnated?
Gu Qingfeng was rather puzzled by the conversation between the two girls, but he quickly understood after some thought.
He knew that the laws of heaven and earth had been thrown into chaos when the cataclysm happened, and some great being had opened the Gate of Reincarnation. Many great beings and even immortals and demons had entered the Gate of Reincarnation to escape the cataclysm, but Gu Qingfeng hadn't been able to do so for some special reasons.
'I wonder if my old friends have reincarnated …'
Not too far away, the little girl in white stared at the stone tablet as a look of longing flashed across her beautiful eyes. She murmured softly, "If only the King had really reincarnated …"
"I say, girl, don't tell me you've been playing too many of King's songs that you've gone crazy?" The beautiful woman glanced at her and said sternly, "I advise you to play less of King's songs in the future. It won't do you any good."
"Auntie, I just like King's songs. How could I be possessed? Really! Don't be so dramatic! "
"Girl, Auntie is not joking with you. King's songs are getting weirder and weirder, more and more mysterious than the last. Most people can't handle it. Over the years, there have been a lot of people who have gone crazy while playing King's songs. There are even crazy ones … You better remember this. If you go crazy from playing the King's songs, how am I going to explain it to your mother … "
"Other people are other people. I, Ouyang Ye, will not go crazy!"
The girl named Ouyang Ye rolled her eyes at her auntie and then looked at the stone tablet, deep in thought. She liked music. She had liked it since she was a child. Especially after listening to the songs left behind by the King, she couldn't help herself. And it was strange. Every time she played King's songs, she would have an indescribable feeling, as if she was dreaming of ancient times and witnessing the glory of the King with her own eyes. It fascinated her.
Could it be that playing the King's songs would really make one go crazy?
No!
Impossible!
At least I won't.
Ouyang Ye shook her head confidently. She was sure that she couldn't go crazy.
Gu Qingfeng shook his head and smiled bitterly as he listened. He had indeed composed many songs in the past, and it was just as the beautiful woman had said. Many of the songs he had composed were strange, and ordinary people would not be able to control them. It was possible that playing those songs would cause people to go crazy. This was because music could cause a person's mind to resonate. If one's mind was not strong enough, it would be easy to be affected by the music and hallucinate. It was also possible that they would go insane.
However, what puzzled Gu Qingfeng was that although he had been addicted to music for a long time and had composed many songs, he had never taught anyone how to play them. Why did it seem like there were many people who were playing his songs, and some of them were even obsessed with it? If that was the case, then it was a big sin.
"Girl, don't blame Auntie for nagging. In the past year, you've been coming here more and more often. Do you really think Auntie doesn't know what you're thinking?"
"Auntie, don't talk nonsense. I'm not!"
"Lass, Auntie has been around for a long time, and I've been playing music longer than you. My attainments are also deeper than yours. I've played many of the Emperor's songs. Do you know why there are so many people in the world who like to listen to the Emperor's songs? That's because the King's songs have a unique charm. To be exact, the King is too charming. "
"His song 'The Wind Rises on Mount Daqing' is soul-stirring. After listening to it, it's easy to resonate with one's spirit. It's as if you've seen the King's madness when he fought against the heroes on Mount Daqing. Men feel their blood boil when they hear it, and women's hearts ripple when they hear it."
"There's also the song 'Phoenix Courting Phoenix' … Not to mention … That was the song that the Emperor played for the Supreme Empress back then … That's called infatuation, that's called heart-wrenching, it's called heart-wrenching … Which woman wouldn't be moved after listening to it …"
"Auntie! That's you, right? I'm not moved, and I'm not infatuated … "
"Not moved? Not infatuated? Who are you trying to fool? " The beautiful woman glanced at her and said angrily, "Then let me ask you. Why have you been trying so hard to please Old Master Huo De recently? You've been sending him wine and delicacies every day … "
"Old Master Huo De is the person I respect the most. Can't I be nicer to him?"
"Girl, do you really think Auntie is a three-year-old child? Do you think Auntie doesn't know what you're thinking? I'm afraid you've taken a fancy to the Old Master's Blood Flame Bracelet. As far as I know, that bracelet was made by King Chixiao himself. If you're not infatuated with the King, why would you want a bracelet made by him? "
"I … I like magic treasures. Can't I?"
"That's enough. How dare you be so stubborn."
Looking at Ouyang Ye who refused to admit it, the beautiful woman wanted to reprimand her. But after thinking about it, she decided to let it go. She persuaded, "Girl, listen to Auntie's advice. In the future, when it comes to the Emperor's songs, just listen to it … Don't play it … You'll be possessed … Back then, Auntie almost …"
"Almost what?" Ouyang Ye asked with a grin.
The beautiful woman glared at her and said, "In any case, just play less of the King's songs in the future. Don't forget, he was once possessed by a demon, and not just any demon. Otherwise, why do you think the King was judged by the Immortal Dao?"
"Hey, Auntie, you've always admired the King. How can you say that about him?"
"Auntie admits that she admires the King. She admires his unparalleled talent, his coldness and aloofness, his extraordinary achievements, his fearlessness, and his domineering attitude. But worship is worship. I admire the King, but that doesn't mean I'm infatuated with him. After all, he was once possessed by a demon. Since he's a demon, he's a sinner of the Immortal Dao."
"Hmph!"
Ouyang Ye snorted and ignored her. She hated it when people called the King a demon, and hated it even more when people said the King was a sinner of the Immortal Dao.
The beautiful woman also knew that her niece didn't like to hear such things. She sighed helplessly, looked at the sky, and said, "It's getting late … Girl, I'm going to the Mighty Tiger Clan to see Gang Leader Wang. Do you want to come with me?"
"Gang Leader Wang? That damn fatty looks at me with lecherous eyes every time. I don't want to go with you. You go by yourself. "
"Alright then. You can go back to the villa by yourself later."
Standing in the cemetery and watching the beautiful woman leave, Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
He heard the two women talking about the Blood Flame Bracelet, which he had personally refined in the past.
Gu Qingfeng thought for a while, but he didn't have any impression of the Blood Flame Bracelet. He had refined many magic weapons in his life, so many that he didn't even know how many he had.
Wait!
Elder Huo De?
Why did he sound so familiar?
Gu Qingfeng was suddenly startled. A sloppy old man suddenly appeared in his mind.
Could it be that old man, Immortal Huo De?
Thinking carefully and remembering that this was the Chiyan Mountain Range, Gu Qingfeng was almost certain that the Huo De the two women were talking about was that old man who ate, drank, gambled, dug holes, and tripped. He also vaguely remembered that the old man seemed to be from Yunxia School. Just now, the two women called Huo De an Elder. Did that mean that the two women were disciples of Yunxia School?
Yunxia School …
Yunxia School was the largest cultivation sect in the surrounding area back then …
That old man Huo De.
Haha!
I've left this world for about three hundred years, right? I wonder how that old man is doing now …
The beautiful woman had left for quite a while, but the little girl called Ouyang Ye didn't seem to have any intention of leaving. She just stood there, raising her head and looking at the stone tablet. Her expression was somewhat hesitant as she muttered faintly.
"King, are you really a sinner of the Immortal Dao?"
"Of course not."
"Although I still can't play the song you played before you turned into a demon, hmm … perhaps with my musical skills, I'll never be able to play it. However, I was fortunate enough to hear Sister Su play it once. From that song, I could clearly feel that you had no choice but to turn into a demon."
"Even if everyone in the world says that you're a demon and a sinner of the Immortal Dao, you've always been a hero in my heart."
"Hmm, King, can you really reincarnate …"
"Many people say that you were sentenced to death by the Immortal Dao three hundred years ago … it's impossible for you to reincarnate …"
"But there are also people who say that you weren't sentenced to death by the Immortal Dao three hundred years ago … Instead, you ascended to the Heavenly Realm under an assumed name …"
"I think that if you really ascended to the Heavenly Realm, you would've been caught up in the cataclysm a hundred years ago. I heard that during the cataclysm, the gate to reincarnation was opened … Many immortals and demons were reincarnated … If you really ascended to the Heavenly Realm back then, you would've been reincarnated as well, right …"
"But … the news of your reincarnation has been circulating for almost a hundred years … It's been circulating almost every year, but why haven't I seen you reincarnate …"
"How great would it be if you really could reincarnate … I really, really want to see you … I also really want to thank your song for accompanying me for so many years … It's also helped me understand so much."
Ouyang Ye stood in front of the tombstone and murmured to herself. Ever since she had fallen in love with King Chixiao's song, she would come to the cemetery every once in a while to speak her mind.
Gu Qingfeng had achieved the Immortal Dao, the Demon Dao, and even defied the Heavenly Dao in his life. His life had been full of ups and downs, and he had seen the world. Now that the Heavenly Dao had taken everything away from him and he had returned to the hometown of his youth, he felt an indescribable feeling as he stood in his own cemetery and gazed at a young girl who was speaking her mind to his tombstone.
Looking at the little girl's hesitant expression and her eyes filled with thoughts, Gu Qingfeng shook his head slightly and couldn't help but sigh. He walked over and said.
"Little girl, I advise you to play less of Gu Tianlang's songs in the future."
Ouyang Ye, who was feeling sentimental, suddenly heard this sentence and was stunned at first. After she reacted, she stared at the disheveled and battered fellow and replied unhappily, "Who are you? It's none of your business!"
"Who am I?"
Gu Qingfeng didn't know how to answer this question for a moment. He looked up at his tombstone and suddenly felt a little funny. He said, "I'm just a passer-by. I saw you talking to yourself here and couldn't help but come over to persuade you. In fact, your aunt is right. Gu Tianlang is only a sinner of the Immortal Dao. In the end, he's still a demon. Why do you …"
Before he finished speaking, Ouyang Ye instantly turned around. Her delicate face was covered with frost, and her eyes stared angrily at Gu Qingfeng. She coldly rebuked, "I'm warning you. If you dare to say one more bad word about the King, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Ouyang Ye could tolerate her aunt saying that the King was a sinner of the Immortal Dao, but she absolutely wouldn't allow anyone else to say it.
Perhaps the sudden appearance of this stinky beggar had disturbed her mood, but Ouyang Ye didn't continue to stay here. She only glanced at the tombstone and turned to leave.
"She's still young …"
Looking at the little girl's departing figure, Gu Qingfeng thought for a moment and followed her. He thought that since this little girl was a disciple of Yunxia School, it wouldn't be a bad idea to visit that old man Huo De.
