The Immortal Realm.
Somewhere in the vast expanse, a figure suddenly opened his eyes.
His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
"You can actually erase my divine sense. Amazing."
A slightly hoarse voice came out of his mouth. Then, he slowly raised his hand and pointed.
In front of him, there was a ripple of water. Like the moon in the water, an image began to appear in the ripple.
It was what Yao Mengji and the others had just experienced. The image stopped abruptly when the Xuanshui Ring fell to the ground.
"Zither music?"
The figure's voice had a hint of surprise. "In the ancient times, there weren't many people who were good at music. What is he trying to do? I'll wait and see. I'm sure I won't be the only one testing. "
…
The Mortal Realm.
Yao Mengji and the others took a deep breath at the same time. They felt the rhythm of their lives and were sincerely grateful.
They didn't expect to be alive.
Old Taoist Qingfeng swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice with extreme awe, "Could it be that the zither music just now was played by an expert?"
"Of course!"
Yao Mengji rolled his eyes and said respectfully, "Do you even need to ask? Other than the expert, who else in the world could have such power? "
"Powerful … too powerful." Taoist Qingfeng was shocked beyond words.
Previously, he only knew that the expert took out treasures casually. He didn't have a direct understanding of his power. Until now … it couldn't be more direct.
The crisis just now was so terrifying. It was unimaginable if one didn't experience it personally. However, the expert only played a song from afar and turned the situation around without any suspense. The almighty of the Immortal Realm couldn't even fight back.
It was appalling and terrifying!
If the expert appeared in front of him now, he might just kneel down and worship him. He couldn't help it. He couldn't control himself.
'I'm too good. I'm so lucky to have met such a powerful person.'
"Alright, don't be shocked."
Gu Xirou spoke. His face was serious and full of admiration. "Think back to what the skinny old man said. The expert saved the entire Mortal Realm."
"Yeah. Actually, if it weren't for the expert, I would have died a few times already."
Yao Mengji's tone was full of emotion. Then, he said, "Finally, I know a little about the expert's goal. I can do better for the expert in the future. Although my cultivation is nothing, if I can die for the expert, I will have no regrets!"
Emperor Luo said excitedly, "Opening the Path of Immortals and Mortals and increasing the fate of the human race is such a magnificent feat. To be able to follow the expert and participate in this is already the greatest honor in this lifetime, no, in several lifetimes!"
"Have you forgotten? What the expert is doing is going against the natural order and going against the general trend! "
Gu Xirou's tone was heavy. His eyes showed that he was deep in thought. He said meaningfully, "So, do you still think that the expert pretends to be an ordinary person because of his hobby?"
"Grandmaster, do you mean … the expert has other intentions?"
Yao Mengji's eyebrows twitched. He said thoughtfully, "Going against the natural order shouldn't be a big deal. The expert must have his own plans if he likes to pretend to be an ordinary person. I'm guessing that it's to hide from the heavens! Of course, if it's a hobby … more or less. "
Emperor Luo nodded. "The big bosses like to be chess players and talk with chess pieces. Basically, they avoid the world and stay behind the scenes. If you think about it this way, it's understandable that the expert pretends to be an ordinary person."
"Who cares about the reason? Anyway, we just have to cooperate with the expert! We're chess pieces. We just have to listen to the expert's arrangements. Since the expert wants to go against the natural order, then we'll go against it with him. There's nothing to be afraid of! "Qingfeng concluded.
"That's true."
Yao Mengji nodded in agreement. Then, he said, "Alright, let's stop talking. Let's go back now."
Everyone looked at the Xuanshui Bracelet. They didn't have to think too much about it. They didn't even have the slightest bit of greed. They immediately came to a conclusion. "This Xuanshui Bracelet belongs to the expert. We should bring it back and give it to him."
In the courtyard.
Qin Manyun could only feel her emotions fluctuating along with the zither music. Sometimes, she felt like she was climbing a mountain. Sometimes, she felt like she was swimming in the water. It was as if she had lost her consciousness.
Dahei was also lying beside Li Nianfan's feet. Both of its ears were perked up and perked up.
In the other courtyard, Chang 'er was still snoring. Her small mouth was opening and closing. She slept even more soundly along with the zither music.
"I'm done." Li Nianfan smiled. Naturally, he couldn't help but show off. He asked, "What do you think, Miss Manyun?"
Qin Manyun immediately came back to her senses. Almost without thinking, she said, "It's good. Young Master Li, this song should only exist in the heavens. Manyun is ashamed. May I know the name of this song?"
"Hahaha, Miss Manyun, you flatter me." Li Nianfan laughed. Then, he said, "This song is … 'High Mountains and Flowing Water'!"
Qin Manyun said sincerely, "'High Mountains and Flowing Water'. What an appropriate name. It's completely different from 'Ambush from Ten Sides' in style. However, both of them are equally matched. They can be called the divine songs of the present age."
Li Nianfan said with a smile, "Do you want to learn? I can teach you. "
Qin Manyun's cheeks suddenly turned red. She said in a trembling voice, "Really, really?"
"It's rare that Miss Manyun likes the zither. It's just a song. Why not?" Li Nianfan got up and yawned. "It's late. I'm going back to sleep. I'll give you the song tomorrow morning."
Qin Manyun quickly got up and respectfully sent Li Nianfan back to the small courtyard. "Young Master Li, good night."
"Creak."
The courtyard door closed.
Qin Manyun was still in the courtyard. She waited anxiously.
The zither music at the honored master's side had stopped. She did not know what the outcome was.
At this moment, five streaks of light shot over and landed in the courtyard.
Yao Mengji said impatiently, "Manyun, was the expert playing the zither just now?"
"That's right." Qin Manyun nodded. Then, she asked with concern, "Grandmaster, honored master, are you alright?"
"Hahaha, we were in trouble. Fortunately, the expert helped us. Of course, we're fine now." Yao Mengji laughed. Then, he asked respectfully, "Where's the expert?"
"Young Master Li went back to sleep after playing the zither."
Yao Mengji immediately gestured for silence. He said in a low voice, "Then we have to be quiet. Don't disturb the expert."
At this moment, everyone noticed the zither in the courtyard.
The zither was still the same zither. However, for some reason, it exuded an ethereal feeling. When one placed their attention on the zither, they could even hear the zither music.
Gu Xirou's pupils dilated. He said in a trembling voice, "Manyun, this is your zither. Could it be that the expert used your zither to play?"
Qin Manyun nodded.
"Amazing, amazing!"
Gu Xirou hurriedly walked over and stretched out her hand. Just as she was about to touch the zither, the sound of the zither suddenly exploded beside her ear, causing her to tremble as if she had been electrocuted. She quickly retracted her hand.
"The Lost Sound of Dao. Is this the legendary Lost Sound of Dao? I can't believe that not only am I lucky enough to see it, but I'm also lucky enough to own it! " Gu Xirou mumbled dreamily. He looked at the zither as if he was looking at the most precious thing in the world.
"After the expert played the zither, it has gone from a normal Dharma treasure to a Spiritual Treasure." Yao Mengji's voice was full of admiration. "Moreover, the expert's music still lingers on it. It can help people cultivate the Dao of Zither!"
Was this the expert's power?
Creating miracles was just a matter of raising his hand.
Gu Xirou bowed respectfully to the zither. He said seriously, "From now on, this zither will be the treasure of the Linxian Palace. It will be worshipped for generations to come!"
However, Qin Manyun continued, "The expert also said that the song just now was called 'High Mountains and Flowing Water'. He will give it to me tomorrow morning."
"What?"
"Hiss —"
Yao Mengji rolled his eyes and leaned back. "Emperor Luo, Qingfeng Taoist, quick, help me up. I'm going to faint from happiness."
"Help my ass!" Qingfeng Taoist's eyes were red with jealousy. "Everyone worked together. Why are you the only one who benefited? You should have given me an orange! "
Yao Mengji was extremely smug. He gloated, "What do you know? Grandmaster and I put in the most effort. The two of you were just following behind us. Of course, it's different. "
"The expert must have his own plans. Stop arguing. We don't want to disturb the expert's rest," Gu Xirou said.
Everyone knew the severity of the situation. They immediately dispersed and went to rest.
The next day.
The sunlight shone into the courtyard, dispelling the coldness of the night. It was warm.
Li Nianfan walked out of the courtyard. He looked up and was slightly stunned. Then, he exclaimed in surprise, "Nanna?"
In the courtyard, Nanna stood there. Her eyes were filled with tears. She rushed over and cried, "Brother Nianfan."
"What's wrong?" Li Nianfan could feel that Nanna was upset. He could not help but look at everyone in confusion.
Emperor Luo immediately stepped forward and said, "Cough, cough. Young Master Li, the little girl that the group of people wanted to catch yesterday was Nanna. Luckily, we found her and saved her in time."
Li Nianfan frowned slightly. "Really? What about the group of people? "
Emperor Luo continued, "It was a misunderstanding. We've cleared it up. The group of people felt guilty. They didn't have the face to come over."
Li Nianfan sighed softly. He clasped his hands and said sincerely, "You guys did a lot, right? Thank you, everyone."
The group of people yesterday looked very domineering. How could they be so nice? Luckily, he had an Immortal on his side. It was most likely settled.
"Oh, right. Here's the score for 'High Mountains and Flowing Water'. If you don't mind, please accept it," Li Nianfan said as he took out the score.
"I don't mind, I don't mind! Thank you, Young Master Li. "
Yao Mengji's heart trembled. He was extremely emotional. He almost trembled as he accepted the score.
"Alright, Nanna. Be good. Don't cry. It's okay now." Li Nianfan comforted her. Then, he asked, "Where's your master?"
Nanna cried out. She was even more upset. She sobbed and said, "Master is dead."
She had been holding it in for a long time. Now that she finally found an outlet, she could not stop crying.
Li Nianfan was silent. He did not try to persuade her anymore. He let her vent.
He could not help but think of the old woman. Although he had only met her once, she left a deep impression on him. Who would have thought that in just a few months, she would be gone forever?
It was said that people in the Jianghu were helpless. The cultivation world was naturally more dangerous.
