Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2169 (Two Thousand One Hundred and Sixty Nine) Desolate

Tie Jinjue had a feeling as if he was in another world.

In a trance, he actually thought: Is it the same sky? Are there some things that will never change no matter how many years have passed? Could the clouds in the sky now be floating from above the house of that year, floating for many years? If they really have been floating for so long, would they feel tired? Is the wind blowing on me coming from the place where we lived back then? Did I know when I left that I could never go back?

Tie Wandao interrupted Tie Jinjue's thoughts and said to him, "The singing is starting again. It's this voice. Did you hear it?"

Although he had a lot of thoughts in his mind in such a short period of time, Tie Jinjue remained expressionless. After looking at the sky, he quickly looked up at the top of the Muxi Pavilion, without letting Tie Wandao notice anything unusual.

At this time, Tie Jinjue said to Tie Wandao as if nothing had happened: "I heard it. This singing is quite strange. It is clearly coming from Gong Hunyu above Muxi Pavilion, but I can't tell where it comes from."

"That's true." Tie Wandao said.

"Let me listen carefully." Tie Jinjue said.

Tie Wandao hummed.

The two of them stood there and listened to the song.

When Tie Jinjue suddenly heard a voice similar to his mother's singing a song his mother had sung before, those memories naturally came to his mind. However, when he listened carefully this time, he felt that the singer did not sing at all like his mother did when she sang the song at home with the doors and windows closed, and this song was much more desolate than the voice of his mother when she sang the song in front of him.

The singing that Tie Jinjue heard at this moment was recorded by Gong Hunyu when the person with a voice similar to Tie Jinjue's mother was sung by Tie Wandao's father. At that time, Tie Wandao's father described the characteristics of the singing that people heard near Muxi Pavilion some time before Tie Jinjue's mother committed suicide to the person with a voice similar to Tie Jinjue's mother. Tie Wandao's father specifically told her to sing loudly and sing sadly. This is because the Taoist priest told Tie Wandao that the more similar the voice recorded by Gong Hunyu is to the voice of the suicide before committing suicide, the better. It is best if the tone of the voice is similar, and it is best if the feeling of the singing is similar.

When Tie Jinjue's mother sang this song in the Muxi Pavilion shortly before she committed suicide, she did not sing it incompletely as she had done before in front of Tie Jinjue. At that time, she thought that Tie Jinjue's father and her two children had been killed. She had no worries. She was not afraid of death. She was not worried that others would hear her singing the song of the Blue Armored People. She thought that there was no need to restrain herself. She felt that the song of the Blue Armored People should be sung out loud! However, due to despair, the song she sang out loud was filled with a sadness that could not be seen to the end. Everyone who heard it could hear that sadness.

Later, Tie Wandao asked the people who had heard her singing before she committed suicide to describe the singing voice one by one. He wrote down the characteristics of the singing voice mentioned by those people, and told the person whose voice was similar to Tie Jinjue's mother to sing according to his description.

Therefore, the singing recorded by Gong Hunyu gives people a feeling of singing out loud, but also very sad.

Tie Jinjue listened to the sad voice coming from Gong Hunyu and remembered what Tie Wandao had told him before. The Taoist priest said that the voice recorded in Gong Hunyu was made by a person who had a voice similar to that of a suicide victim, and the singer would be asked to try to sing the feeling that the suicide victim had before he or she committed suicide.
