Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 969 My appearance remains unchanged, but you have grown old

Chapter 969 My appearance remains unchanged, but you have grown old...

On the east mountain.

A moment.

I don’t know how many tens of thousands of years have passed in the world of the living.

In the blink of an eye on Dongshan Mountain, the world of the living has changed dramatically.

The ancient bronze coffin containing the Human Emperor still lay there quietly, exuding endless desolation.

Eight thick iron chains that have been tempered a thousand times are still tightly connected to the depths of endless darkness.

Lock it tightly.

The Human Emperor was killed by the Lord of Heaven at the end of time and space.

The body is also trapped at the end of time and space.

No return!

And I don't know when.

At the other end of time and space,
An old and dilapidated stone ship broke through layers of space, unstoppable like riding the wind and waves.

A dilapidated stone boat.

It was the once spotless holy ship.

but now.

It was in very bad shape, with holes all over the hull.

However, it is still holy, emitting endless brilliance, illuminating the endless darkness and warming the cold...

now.

It came through the air.

Like a giant beast from ancient times.

It smashed fiercely onto the eight iron chains that had been tempered a thousand times.

boom--

Electric light and flint!

The tattered stone boat trembled slightly.

However, the eight extremely strong iron chains remained motionless, and they couldn't help but let out a sad whimper.

Hit it hard again.

The sound was heard thousands of miles away.

boom--

The iron chain remained motionless, as steady as a rock.

The stone boat smashed down again, twice, three times, four times...

However, the stone boat, which was already in very shabby condition, became even more shabby.

I don’t know how many years have passed, maybe one year, maybe ten years, maybe a thousand years, maybe ten thousand years.

The eight iron chains that had been tempered thousands of times were finally broken by the stone boat.

but.

The ancient bronze coffin, without any restraints, still lay there.

Lying quietly and motionless.

at this time.

A faint shadow walked down from the dilapidated stone boat.

The phantom was wearing a very ordinary gray cloth.

tall and big.

A scroll of bamboo slips hung around his waist.

Although I couldn't see his face clearly, I could feel that he was an old Confucian scholar who was well-read in poetry and books.

He exudes an extremely rich literary aura.

The old scholar did not look small at all under the thousand-foot-long stone boat, but was very eye-catching.

Walking step by step towards the ancient bronze coffin in the void.

Finally, he stopped in front of the bronze coffin.

After the old scholar walked down.

One figure after another got off the stone boat.

They were dressed in cloth, blue shirt, or Confucian robes, carrying zithers, swords, chess pieces, pens, or fans...

Each of them exudes an extremely rich literary aura.

One, two, three...

A total of ninety-nine and eighty-one phantoms walked down from the stone boat.

They slowly gathered in front of the ancient bronze coffin, emitting a tragic aura and a wisp of sorrow.

"My Emperor——"

The eighty-one phantoms faced the bronze coffin, began to tidy up their clothes, and then with a "swish" sound, they all knelt down.

"Long live Long live Long live!"

The voice was extremely sad.

Eighty-one phantoms knelt in the void for a long time, unable to get up, all with tears streaming down their faces, looking extremely sad.

Cry loudly!

My emperor, the sky collapses! !

……

In the void where darkness and coldness coexist.

Eighty-one phantoms carried the huge bronze coffin on their shoulders and boarded the dilapidated stone boat step by step.

The bronze coffin was so heavy that it seemed to bend the eighty-one shadows down.

He walked with heavy steps, one step at a time.

"My Emperor, return—"

A sad voice resounded throughout the universe.

So, the dilapidated stone boat carrying the ancient bronze coffin left the end of the world and drifted in the endless void.

Find the way back.

Feng Qingyan called out again, singing the song "Soul Summoning" that penetrated time and space.

but.

They couldn't hear it.

I can no longer lead the way for them and light up the dark places.

It seemed that after cutting through the iron chains of heaven, it had lost all its power and had completely severed contact with him.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

The holy light emanating from the dilapidated stone boat was fading little by little.

The speed started to slow down.

The vast universe and the endless starry sky are filled with cold, dark and dead silence.

In the vast sky.

Although there are billions of stars, it is difficult to find traces of life, and even more difficult to find the way back.

This dilapidated stone ship is like a lonely ant, crawling slowly in the dark, cold and boundless universe.

Extremely lonely.

I don’t know how many years have passed.

The tattered stone boat carrying the ancient bronze coffin came to a silvery-white galaxy and finally landed powerlessly on a desolate planet.

Rumbling--

The stone ship crashed into the ground and sank deeply into it, causing the entire planet to tremble.

……

On the east mountain.

It's still just a blink of an eye.

Feng Qingyan could only watch helplessly as the holy ship carrying the Human Emperor's coffin fell powerlessly, unable to return to Jiuzhou...

now.

He closed his eyes.

The winds and clouds of heaven and earth are still changing...

He was constantly deducing how to bring the Human Emperor back to Jiuzhou.

In an instant.

He didn't know how many tens of thousands of times he had done the deduction.

Finally, an answer was deduced through the Great Reincarnation Technique.

then.

The wind and clouds stopped changing.

And his figure gradually appeared on the top of East Mountain.

Dongjun felt his presence.

Fei Bai and Jiuge also felt his presence.

At this moment, they all looked towards Feng Qingyan, with shock and excitement on their faces.

"gentlemen?"

Jiuge was shaking with excitement.

Still a little unbelievable.

He reached out and rubbed his eyes. The gentleman was still there, still looking at him with a smile.

This is not an illusion.

This……

Mr. Zhen is back.

Jiuge's body trembled violently, and tears immediately streamed down his face. He said in a trembling voice: "Sir, you are finally back?"

"came back."

Feng Qingyan smiled.

"Moo-"

Qingniu was also extremely excited and couldn't help but shout to the sky.

"Mr. Dong, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Feng Qingyan looked at Dong Jundao, and then his eyes fell on Fei Bai, "The Grand Master is still as elegant as ever."

"Canonization..."

Dongjun was filled with emotion.

"It's an exaggeration to say that you canonize someone."

Fei Bai recovered quickly and said with a faint smile.

At this moment Jiuge and Qingniu were running towards him.

"gentlemen!"

"Moo!"

When Jiuge was about to pounce, he felt something was wrong and stopped abruptly.

The green ox rubbed Feng Qingyan's feet with its head.

Feng Qingyan touched Jiuge's head and said gently, "You've finally grown up."

When Jiuge was touched by Feng Qingyan, she suddenly felt shy, which made Qingniu tremble all over and suddenly feel a chill.

"gentlemen……"

Jiuge said shyly.

His face flushed a little, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at Feng Qingyan.

Dong Jun: “…”

Fei Bai: "..."

Qingniu wanted to roll his eyes when he saw this. Could it be that Jiuge thought of himself as a woman? Isn’t this expression disgusting?

vomit--

……

Dongshan Divine Realm.

A gorgeous atmosphere is in the air.

The beautiful bird is singing.

The colorful divine chicken is foraging for food.

Countless exotic flowers are blooming, and a divine tree that has become a spirit is breathing.

All I heard was divine music and countless rays of light rising into the sky.

It's like a divine realm in heaven.

At this moment, Feng Qingyan and Dongjun were walking on the grass, talking as they walked...

No one knew what they were saying, but it caused the heaven and earth to shake, leaving Jiuge, Feibai and Qingmang all extremely surprised.

"Jiuge, are you a man or a woman?"

Qingniu couldn't help but say.

"..."

Jiuge was silent for a moment, then rolled his eyes at Qingniu.

Shortly after.

Dongjun's expression became serious.

"you consider it."

Feng Qingyan was silent for a moment, then waved to Jiuge and Qingniu, got on the ox cart he used to ride, and left the Dongshan Divine Realm.

This made Jiuge and Qingniu extremely excited.

Howling.

"Jiuge, this guy, doesn't need a teacher anymore since he already has a master."

Dongjun looked at the ox cart leaving and couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.

Fei Bai just smiled.

When the ox cart completely left Dongshan, Dongjun's face became solemn again, as if something was weighing on his mind.

"My Lord, are you worried?"

Fei Bai hesitated for a moment and said.

Dongjun just shook his head and didn't say much.

At this moment, he came to the top of East Mountain and looked at the world for a long time, with some reluctance in his eyes.

I don’t know when.

Fei Bai came behind Dongjun with a slightly frown on her face.

I don’t know what the saint said to the king.

Since the Saint said something to the Lord, the Lord has become like this.

She sighed inwardly.

"Fei Bai, I'm going to travel around the world. You can take care of Dongshan Divine Mansion for the time being."

Dong Jun hesitated for a moment but did not turn around.

"Your Majesty, Fei Bai will always wait for your return."

Fei Bai said softly.

Dongjun said nothing more and went on his journey around the world.

After traveling all around the world, he went to the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Wushan Realm, the Kunxu Realm...

……

The ox cart came from Dongshan.

We arrived at Qincheng, the easternmost place in the Zhou world.

Hundreds of years have passed.

Qincheng has not changed much and still stands on a cliff that is floating out of the sea.

Look from afar.

Like a lyre hanging from a cliff.

Years later.

Return to Qincheng.

Feng Qingyan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Once upon a time, dozens of ox carts or horse carriages went there together, including the first guest Jiang Shan, Helian Shan, Mu Yu, Fang Wang, Jian Ya Ge, and Zhu Yan.

There are also zither players from Fengming Zither Society.

And now.

There is only one person, one god and one cow, which seems a bit lonely.

Qincheng still has no city walls.

Pavilions and towers can be seen everywhere.

There are not only green trees, but also birds singing, flowers blooming and waterfalls hanging in the sky.

Colorful sky.

From time to time, there are bursts of ethereal piano sounds coming down, which make people feel peaceful and tranquil.

It's like heaven on earth.

In a city that was once familiar but now seems a little strange.

You can still see pianists with extraordinary temperament everywhere.

On the street, in the pavilion, on the grass, beside the bridge, or in front of the cliff...

In groups of three or five.

Some are holding the zither, some are carrying the zither on their backs, some are playing the zither, and some are discussing the zither.

The sound of the piano was everywhere.

The zither player is talking loudly.

Seeing such a familiar scene, Feng Qingyan seemed to have returned to the past and was even a little dazed.

If the future could be like this.

How good is that?

In an instant.

His mind was slightly shaken, and he finally sighed.

I hope so.

The appearance of the oxcart did not cause any shock in Qin City...

After all, a hundred years have passed.

How many familiar faces have already grown old?

Although his name is still sung all over the world and his legend is still spread in Qin City, he no longer recognizes the current Qin player...

And the current zither player also doesn't recognize him.

The handsome young man who used to play the piano on the street and sang to Donggong Lan, "There is a beautiful woman, I can't forget her when I see her. I miss her like crazy when I don't see her for a day. The phoenix is flying high, and people are looking for her all over the world..." has now grown old, with wrinkles all over his face.

At this moment, I am drinking and discussing the qin with a group of fellow qin players.

Recalling the grand scene of Qincheng in the past.

One can't help but shake one's head at the young men who play "Feng Qiu Huang" or even erotic songs on the street and boldly express their love to the girls on the street.

"The world is in decline."

“People’s hearts are not as old as they used to be!”

The handsome young man back then shook his head and said this.

"Haha, you old fellow, you were just like that back then, how dare you criticize others now?"

Another old man pointed at him and said.

"At that time, I was young and didn't know sorrow."

The handsome young man at that time sighed and said.

Several middle-aged and elderly musicians smiled bitterly. They were indeed young and ignorant of sorrow back then...

"Drink, drink."

An old man said with a smile.

But at this time.

An ox cart drove slowly by, and a young man in white clothes, about twenty years old, lifted the curtain and looked over.

The handsome young man at that time had his eyes set on the ox cart.

He felt that the ox cart seemed familiar, so he couldn't help but take another look, and then he saw the person who had caused a sensation in the entire Qin City back then.

Their eyes met.

Feng Qingyan smiled and nodded to him.

The curtain was lowered and the oxcart continued to move forward...

jingle——

The wine glass suddenly fell.

The handsome young man of that year looked absentmindedly at the ox cart that was slowly leaving.

All that was left in my eyes was a smiling face.

Hundreds of years have passed.

The man who once caused a sensation in the entire Qin City, his appearance has not changed at all, but his demeanor has become even more outstanding.

"What's the matter, you old fellow?"

A middle-aged zither player laughed.

"Brother Chen?"

Another old man said.

In the pavilion.

These several zither players, who were once handsome young men, also benefited greatly from the canonization and their zither skills improved by leaps and bounds.

Some have become the King of Qin, and some are the Master of Qin.

but.

Most of the time, it is just the appearance of the piano and cannot go any further.

Middle-aged zither players have become zither masters, or even zither kings, but elderly players are only zither assistants...

After all, becoming a Qin Jun is not a matter of hard work.

It's a matter of talent, opportunity and luck.

A zither player who has no talent needs opportunity or luck, otherwise it will be difficult to enter the realm of a zither master.

"Canonization..."

The elegant young man back then muttered in his sleep, "I, I...saw, saw the canonization..."

He stretched out his old hand and pointed tremblingly at the departing ox cart.

"Canonization?"

Several people were stunned for a moment.

Although they didn't quite believe it, they all looked subconsciously and saw a familiar ox cart driving to the end of the street.

Disappeared.

This does seem to be the oxcart that was canonized...

However, there were too many people in the world imitating the canonization process, so there were many ox carts in the world, and even the decorations were almost the same.

Just as plain and simple.

"Canonization has been lost for hundreds of years."

A middle-aged zither player withdrew his gaze and shook his head.

The fact that he was able to attain the title of the King of Qin had a lot to do with his enlightenment in Qin City when he was a sage.

in some sense.

Feng Sheng can be considered as half a teacher to him, and can even be said to be the teacher of Qin Jun.

How could he not want to see the saint again?
"It's true, it's canonization..."

The handsome young man said with a trembling voice, "My appearance has not changed at all, just like before..."

At this moment he walked out of the pavilion trembling with excitement.

Holding a crutch, he chased after the ox cart.

……

And at the highest point of Qincheng, in the garden behind the palace.
