Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 1010: The Sound of the Great Dao
In the cave.

Everyone was astonished. Was the deathly aura related to the disciples?

In this world, all the philosophers were figures from ancient times, and no one knows how many tens of thousands of years have passed.

How could this possibly be related to the teacher?

Moreover, among the philosophers in this world, some are legendary beings, and it is impossible to confirm whether they really exist.

"Mr. Feng, how could the dead energy in the teacher's body be related to the disciples? After all..."

Dalang frowned slightly.

"It's hard to describe this dead air in a few words."

Feng Qingyan smiled and said, his eyes fell on Zhang Zheng who was also puzzled, "Mr. Zhang, maybe you will understand in the future. This world is not as simple as you see, and there is not only this world in this universe..."

"Tianwaitian?"

"The outside world is not strange..."

The scholars were not too surprised, after all, they had not seen it with their own eyes. Moreover, the fact that there was a Heaven Beyond Heaven showed that they accepted the existence of Heaven Beyond Heaven.

However, Zhang Zheng felt that his body was extremely comfortable and strong at this moment, and he didn't feel that there was any problem.

This is much better than when he was young.

He didn't quite believe that there was any dead energy in his body, but Mr. Feng's medical skills were at the level of bringing people back to life. Maybe he really discovered something in his body?
"Mr. Feng, how do we get rid of this deadly aura?"

Zhang Zheng asked after a moment of hesitation.

"Perhaps listening to the zither can dispel it."

Feng Qingyan said, then walked out of the cave and came to the open valley.

"Listening to the piano?"

Zhang Zheng was slightly surprised.

"Can listening to the piano make me better?"

"Listening to the zither? What does that mean? Can listening to the zither cure illness?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment and then started talking. Some of them were confused, but when they saw Feng Qingyan walking out of the cave, they all followed him out of the cave.

"Mr. Feng also knows the piano?"

Lian Li followed him out and said with some surprise.

"Understood."

Feng Qingyan walked and looked around, and when he came to a relatively flat grassy area, he sat down cross-legged. Zhang Zheng, Lian Li and others who followed him sat cross-legged around him accordingly...

When Zhang Zheng walked out of the cave.

Many of the scholars in the valley were stunned for a moment, looking at the middle-aged Zhang Zheng with doubts on their faces. They felt that this middle-aged Zhang Zheng was very familiar, and he was wearing the teacher's clothes...

It seems like a middle-aged version of a teacher.

"Brother, who is that gentleman? Why does he look like our teacher when he was young?" A scholar looked at the middle-aged Zhang Zhengdao in confusion. It seemed that the middle-aged Zhang Zheng in front of him was indeed his teacher, but the teacher was already over seventy years old and was suffering from illness...

His face looked older.

Aged.

"It really looks like the teacher when he was young. He must be a member of the teacher's clan." Another scholar said after taking a look.

"Teacher's clansmen?"

"He should be one of the teacher's clansmen. He looks somewhat similar to the teacher..."

There are many thatched huts and cottages in the valley, and naturally there are many students, as many as dozens of them.

However, not many people have seen Zhang Zheng in his middle age, so even if they see the middle-aged Zhang Zheng, they will not think much about it, let alone think that it is the same person.

I just think they are very similar.

A "tribe member" can explain the past and there will be no suspicion at all.

However, they noticed that the eldest brother and several other core disciples had been surrounding the teacher's clansmen, which made them a little suspicious.

This shouldn't be the case.

After all, the teacher was still sick in the cave, so why did all the people come out?

And they all look excited?

Who takes care of the teachers?

So many scholars came over in confusion and asked what was going on.

When they found out that the middle-aged Zhang Zheng in front of them was a teacher, they were all stunned, their eyes wide open, and they simply couldn't believe it.

How come the teacher has become so young?
Not only is he young, but he is also very healthy, without any signs of illness...

What exactly is going on?

When they learned that it was Mr. Feng who brought the patient back to health, they were all shocked.

If it was just the teacher's illness that was cured, I wouldn't be so shocked, but the teacher actually became younger?
These are actually two people!
What kind of medical skill is this? Or is this still medical skill? Are you sure it’s not a magic skill?

Many scholars looked at Feng Qingyan, wanting to see what Feng Qingyan was like.

Unfortunately, they didn't see anything.

Apart from being handsome, spotless and having an indescribable charm, there seems to be nothing special about him.

He doesn't look like some strange person.

"Big Brother, is it really this Mr. Feng who made the teacher look younger?" A scholar came up to Dalang and asked in a low voice, still not quite believing it.

Dalang just nodded and didn't say much.

In fact, if this kind of medical skills were spread out, I'm afraid that all the dignitaries in the world would flock to it...

And the Emperor...

This is not a good thing for Mr. Feng.

While the scholars came over to discuss the matter, Feng Qingyan closed his eyes and sat quietly.

Gradually, the sounds around him became quiet, as if they were affected by Feng Qingyan's aura...

At this moment Feng Qingyan became extremely quiet.

I don't know when, but the world around me suddenly became quiet, as if time had stopped.

This made Zhang Zheng, Lian Li and others stunned for a moment, and then they looked around in surprise, as if they saw dead leaves falling from the mountain and slowly stopping in the air.

In other words, it falls extremely slowly.

Originally, it would only take one breath to fall more than ten feet away. But after several breaths, it only fell an inch...

gradually.

The dead leaves seemed to be suspended in mid-air.

Zhang Zheng, Lian Li and the others also seemed to have stopped moving, either staring without blinking or looking up without moving...

And at this moment.

Feng Qingyan closed his eyes in the darkness.

Suddenly, a rough and ferocious bolt of lightning flashed, as if illuminating the darkness in the eyes.

Rumbling--

Then came the roar of thunder.

When the thunder and lightning flashed, they broke through the darkness, as if the chaotic world suddenly opened up, with the sky above and the earth below, and a vast land appeared.

And at this time.

The valley seemed to be completely still.

Feng Qingyan still had his eyes closed. He flicked his hands suddenly, and the sound of the piano was like thunder, full of spirituality.

It seems to indicate that life is about to be born on this desolate and ancient land.

When the melody sounds, there is a feeling of joy.

It’s as if I saw the trees just sprouting tender green buds, full of vitality.

Amid the vast heaven and earth, there is a silent joy arising, as if it is because of the birth of life, or perhaps the joy comes from the birth of life.

At this time.

The rolling sound of the piano, like the thunder of the heaven, suddenly slowed down.

Gradually, it was no longer the sound of thunder, but turned into the sound of grass breaking through the soil, the sound of flowers blooming, and the sound of birds singing.

There is a life force hidden in these sounds.

Feng Qingyan still had his eyes closed, carefully feeling the dark earth in front of him, or the earth where life was now being born.

This land was originally a vast and barren land...

but.

When the sound of the piano appeared and gave birth to life on earth, it was no longer a barren land, but a land full of vitality.

As the sound of the piano continues to change.

More and more lives are born on earth. Some lives are blessed by nature and extremely powerful; some lives are relatively weak...

But no matter what.

The barren land is full of vitality. There is vitality and life everywhere.

At this moment, even Feng Qingyan was amazed. He never thought that the sound of the zither he had accidentally realized could have such an amazing life force.

It seems to foreshadow the creation of the world.

Or, it is the first sound after the creation of the world...

While he was playing according to his heart, he was also feeling the sound of the piano and feeling life. Although the sound of the piano was produced by him, it contained countless great powers that he was unaware of.

This is no ordinary piano sound.

This was the sound of his sanctification, but it was more than that. Sanctification was just a byproduct of this sound...

“This piano sound…”

The more Feng Qingyan played the piano, the more frightened he became.

It seemed as if the sound of his piano had touched something, and that it contained an unknown and astonishing power that even he could not see through for a moment.

but.

The core of this piano sound remains unchanged.

It's the power of life!
Live endlessly!

It seems to represent the creation of the world and the beginning of life...

The beginning of life, the creation of the world...

Feng Qingyan was thinking, isn’t this “Tai Shi”?
Could it be that what I played was the sound of "Tai Shi"?
What is Tai Shi? It can also be said to be the sound of breaking the earth, the sound of awakening the vitality of heaven and earth, and the sound of nurturing the life of all things.

And at this moment.

Feng Qingyan finally understood.

Why did I end up with this path when I was trying to figure out how to save Zhang Zheng...

Because this path not only completely healed Zhang Zheng, but also allowed him to gain insights from the sound of the piano and understand what kind of sound it was.

before this.

He didn't know what the sound was.

I thought it was just the sound of sanctification, or a little stronger than the sound of sanctification, representing life, representing endless life...

but.

He didn't think of Tai Shi.

In fact, this sound of the piano is the sound of Tai Shi.

Perhaps it can also be said that this is "The Legacy of the Great Way", the most complete and perfect legacy of ancient times.

In the Zhou Dynasty, there are ten sacred songs, and the first one is "The Sound of the Great Dao". The Sound of the Great Dao is also called the Sound of the Ancient Times...

but.

For Zhou Tian, ​​"The Sound of the Great Dao" is just a legend and may not really exist. Moreover, even "Soul Summoning" cannot compare with it...

Although there are ten sacred songs in the world.

"The Sound of the Great Dao" is ranked first, but I have never heard of anyone playing "The Sound of the Great Dao"...

Even the most holy teacher does not understand.

The "Sound of the Great Dao" seems to be traceable only to "Taishang", and should have come from the mouth of "Taishang". However, it is unknown whether "Taishang" understands "Sound of the Great Dao"...

No one can confirm it.

And who is “Taishang”?

Maybe others don’t know, but Feng Qingyan has already guessed it.

"Tai Shang" means "Yan".

In other words, the "Taishang" of the Zhou Dynasty might be an incarnation of "Yan"...

"Acting" can be transformed into countless forms!

Feng Qingyan didn’t know whether he could “act” well enough to play “The Lost Sound of the Great Dao”, but he had definitely heard of it.

If what is being played at this moment is "The Remaining Sound of the Great Way".

Then Feng Qingyan vaguely guessed the origin of "The Sound of the Great Dao". It was the sound of the first sound that appeared when the universe was first created...

It is the lingering sound.

Not the first soundtrack.

Moreover, what Feng Qingyan is playing now cannot be considered as the real "The Legacy of the Great Way", but just an infinite reversion to the ancestors.

As long as he keeps playing.

One day, the sound of his piano will completely return to its original state and become the remaining sound of the great way.

If it becomes the true legacy of the Great Dao, it is possible to return to its ancestor again, constantly tracing back, returning to its origin...

Eventually become the sound of the Tao!
The first sound when the heaven, earth and universe were created was the sound of the Tao.

What does the first sound produced when the universe was created represent? It represents life, vitality, endless reproduction, and the beginning of life...

"From now on, this song...will be called 'Tai Shi'..."

Feng Qingyan said lightly.

After all, the name "The Sound of the Great Dao" is no longer suitable. Or rather, the name is too big...

"Taishi?"

Feng Qingyan played the piano while feeling and thinking.

It seems that the word "Tai Shi" cannot truly represent the sound of the zither, life, and the endless cycle of life...

"If it's not Taishi, then what is it?"

"This is the first sound when the world was created. Everything started from here and was born from here. It is the source..."

"Then let's call it 'Preface'."

"From now on, this piece will be called 'Preface', or 'Prologue'."

And at this time.

The level of piano playing is no longer meaningful to him.

He had realized the "Sound of the Great Dao", and had reached the end of his zither art, or it could be said that he had reached the source...

of course.

It is not the real and complete source.

After all, he only knows now, but he has not completely returned to its origin, restored, or traced back the "Preface" to become the sound of the Tao.

The moment when "Preface" becomes the avenue.

His piano skills have completely come to an end.

Although his piano skills have not reached their limit at this point, he has already seen the end.

……

……

in the valley.

Everyone seemed to be still.

However, their minds were not static, but extremely active...

They saw magical notes coming out from Feng Qingyan's fingertips and floating into the air.

Like snowflakes.

Then they saw gorgeous birds appearing in the void.

Circling and chirping in the air...

When seeing this scene, everyone's eyes widened and were extremely shocked.

"A hundred birds are paying homage! A hundred birds are paying homage! It really is a hundred birds paying homage..."

Lian Li was extremely shocked.

In the valley, hundreds of birds are flying, circling, and singing, and the sound of heavenly music is endless.

Everyone watched in shock, unable to come back to their senses for a long time, or perhaps their minds were already immersed in the music.

There is unspeakable joy in my heart.

Feel comfortable.

The soul is relaxed.

In fact, compared with "The Sound of the Great Way", or the "Preface" renamed by Feng Qingyan, what are the things like "Hundreds of Birds Come to Pay Homage" and "Hundreds of Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix"?
With the music of "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix", anyone who plays the zither can attract countless birds.

And at this moment.

Feng Qingyan's expression showed neither sadness nor joy. He entered a state of ecstasy and played the piano to his heart's content.

His piano music keeps going back, returning to its roots, restoring itself, and pursuing the sound of the great way...
