Yefutidaolu

Chapter 113 Blocking
Under the moonlight, the sound of piano came from the Yan Ge assassin.

The wizard headed by the Zuo family took the initiative to step forward and stepped out from the clouds.

When he stepped out, he saw a breeze rising from under his feet.

The breeze only appeared for a moment, just enough to hold his weight down, like a 'step'.

The next step, he took another foot.

A bird flew out from somewhere and was stepped on by him. The bird sank half an inch, but it actually supported his body, allowing him to take another step up.

He walked forward step by step, and with every step strange things appeared, forming steps that gathered and dispersed under his feet. He just came down from the clouds and walked to the top of the mountain in mid-air.

If you only look at his steps, you would feel that he is just like a mortal, but when combined with those steps, he seems to have a hint of divinity.

He is just like the darling of heaven and earth, and everything is paving the way for him.

Under his feet, the world seemed alive.

The piano music gradually stopped.

You can see that on the top of this mountain of mechanisms, the Four Boundaries Mechanism, there sits a handsome man.

He was dressed in red and had a lyre in his hand. He was placing both hands on the lyre to muffle the sound.

Now that people are here, there is no need to play anymore.

"I heard that witches can communicate with nature, but the land of Yuezhou is full of traps and witches are rarely seen. What I saw today was really an eye-opener. I didn't expect that even the world today is willing to protect witches?" The man playing the piano looked at the fourth-level witch of the Zuo family.

Zuo Changxi is a fourth-level wizard, and a very powerful one at that. It is said that he once transformed himself into a heavenly soldier during a grand sacrifice and killed seven fourth-level ghosts in a row. He is Yan Ge's employer this time.

And Zuo Changxi also quietly looked at the man playing the piano.

Yan Ge assassin, Zhong Yu.

Although he was called an assassin, he was actually a musician. He was not good at direct combat and it was said that he had no record of assassinations. It seemed that he had never killed anyone, but he was very famous.

There is nothing else to say. He became famous because he was a musician, and he had a guqin with a name in his hand, which was quite legendary. Most of his fame was brought by this guqin.

As for his current identity, most people regard it as a joke, after all, he has never even killed anyone.

Among the musical instruments, only a few have names that are widely known, because the names actually represent the "specifications".

For example, there are four of the famous guqin "Jiuxiao Huanpei" in the world. That is to say, there are four guqins named Jiuxiao Huanpei, and they are all called Jiuxiao Huanpei, which means that they are of this specification, made in the same style and using the same production method.

Most good guitars have specific names to indicate their specifications and features. In a sense, this actually means "model".

The reason why there is this model logo is because there is a term called "prototype" for the guqin.

When a piano leaves a legend and carves its mark in history, its name, production method, tone, and production specifications will all be recorded, and then there will be a prototype.

Afterwards, the 'imitation piano' made according to this specification can also be called this name.

This also means that the specifications of this piano are worthy of being recorded in history.

This is the greatest recognition of this name.

This recognition represents not only strength, but also history.

The emotions invested in objects, the stories experienced and historical events can all leave traces on the objects and gradually change the nature of things. Ordinary things may gradually become extraordinary through the process of shaping and growth because of people's emotions and expectations.

A handkerchief given by a mother to her son may bring good luck to her son, and a sword held by a warrior in blood and fighting to death may make the next sword holder no longer afraid.

Antiques, amidst legends and fame, can become extraordinary even if they were once ordinary.

An ordinary iron sword, if it kills a famous emperor, will become magical and no longer ordinary.

Therefore, the names of the musical instruments that have been recorded in history are never simple.

Like Jiuxiao Huanpei, Bi Tian Feng Chui, He Ming Jiu Gao, Qing Xiao He Lei, Dasheng Yiyin, Cang Hai Long Yin, Qiu Tang Han Yu, each of these names has a legend behind it.

Imitation zither is actually borrowing these legends to gain extra power.

Unless one is extremely confident in himself and hopes to leave his name in history, most guqin players will choose to use the guqin, which has been proven countless times and is absolutely reliable.

It's normal to take advantage of the reputation of predecessors.

But the piano in Zhong Yu's hand is a little different.

Its name is 'Ape Howling Green Rose'.

This is an outlier among the guqins. There is no legend left about it.

And this guitar has never done anything great, because the name of the guitar is clearly recorded in the music score, but the column for deeds is empty.

The fact that it was recorded in the music score shows that it has been included in it. The master from the capital of gods has tested it before and found that Yuanxiao Qingluo is indeed a guqin with a long history. Its performance is not inferior to some legendary guqins, but there is nothing left behind and its magic seems to have faded.

People can only record it as "lost deeds".

After all, time can erase many things, and leaving a name in history may not necessarily last forever.

If it were just that, Zhong Yu wouldn't be famous.

What really makes him a famous luthier is that the one in his hand is the 'prototype'.

This is the picture of Ape Howling Green Rose.

"Ape Howling Green Rose? It's really beautiful." Zuo Changxi praised.

The guqin was painted with black lacquer that shaped like a giant snake's belly, with thirteen mother-of-pearl emblems inlaid on the body. The sound of the guqin was strange, ancient, transparent, moist, even, quiet, round, clear, and fragrant, which was very memorable.

Zhong Yu did not respond, but changed the subject: "Yan Ge has rejected this mission. Please go back. Someone will come to discuss the compensation. Please be patient. There is really no need to pursue."

These words were very straightforward, so Zuo Changxi and the people in the fourth realm behind him almost took action.

But they didn't do it.

After all, it is in Yuezhou, too far away from Cangzhou. It is better not to provoke Yan Ge in such a place.

"Did someone buy this matter out? I heard that Yan Ge would not do such a thing? Your reputation is quite good." Zuo Changxi asked with a gloomy face.

To buy out the matter means that another financial sponsor pays money and asks Yan Ge not to pursue and kill, and also pays the compensation at the same time.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in assassin organizations. There are even cases where the targets of assassination voluntarily pay money to keep themselves alive.

But Yan Ge shouldn't do that.

The people in Yan Ge are very chivalrous. I have never heard that they would do something that would lose their reputation for money.

In fact, Yan Ge has an excellent reputation and they almost never default.

"No one bought it out. Yan Ge did it on his own." Zhong Yu said.

Zuo Changxi did not answer. Since the other party had already made his attitude clear, there was no need to waste any more words.

The Zuo family was too lazy to waste time chatting with Yan Ge. Zuo Changxi looked at the water snake of Baishan River.

The water snake nodded and pointed in a direction.

Several people immediately turned around and rushed in that direction!

If Yan Ge doesn't take action, it doesn't matter. They can do it themselves.

But, right now.

Zhong Yu played the piano gently.

The originally melodious piano sound suddenly became murderous!
The famous song "Song Before the Battle".

As the piano sounded, the shadow of an army emerged.

The army was full of murderous intent, and countless soldiers appeared, setting up camp, playing music, selecting generals, and arranging battle formations, holding weapons, wearing armor, and showing their ferocious momentum, waving flags and beating drums, with a fighting spirit rising!

In the shadows, suddenly an army rushed out from the front and came towards him!

Several Zuo family witches clapped their hands gently, and saw the gods appear. There was another gust of wind, and purple mist was rising. Each god was ten feet tall! Flying in the air, full of energy, divine light suddenly appeared on their bodies, shining clearly, and shooting into the Dou Palace!
There was a five-colored divine light shining from around the divine general. Blue appeared from red, white appeared from blue, black appeared from white, yellow appeared from black, and blue appeared from yellow. The five colors blended together and filled the sky.

However, the next moment, the sound of the piano changed.

Suddenly an army rushed out from the east!
Next, from the south, from the north, and from the west.

Southeast, southwest, northeast, northwest... in all directions, pennants are like bird wings, armor is like mountain clouds, horse heads are shining in the night, and soldiers with spears and swords are everywhere!

Just with the sound of the piano, he surrounded everyone else!

Then, following the sound of the piano, he said calmly: "I advise you all to stop here and talk to me for a few more words. Otherwise, if we really fight, I'm afraid you will not be my opponent."

Zuo Changxi looked at the guqin.

The ape roars and the green radish grows.

Just this harp can increase this man's combat power to this level!
It is worthy of being a guqin that has gone down in history. Even if the legend has not been passed down, even in the hands of a person in the Four Realms, it can still exert such power.

"What exactly does Yan Ge want to do? What benefit will it bring to you if you offend the Zuo family?" Zuo Changxi did not rashly start a war.

If we start a war now, it will inevitably be a fierce battle. If it lasts until tomorrow, Gao Jian will definitely be gone.

If it can be solved without taking action, then don't take action. Yan Ge's strength may not be as great as the Zuo family, but as an assassin organization, they have no base and their organizational form is very loose, so if they really want to go to war with the other side, it will be a headache for the Zuo family.

Especially at this juncture.

The Zuo family was tricked by the Shui family, which led Gao Jian to come up with the incense ritual, which seems very strange now.

Plus, there's a chance that we might even provoke a real dragon...

When he thought of this, Zuo Changxi felt a headache.

So, he said, "Yan Ge prides himself on being chivalrous, and is arrogant because of it. This reputation has also earned you a lot of trust. Now, are you going to betray the bravery of your predecessors like this?"

Zuo Changxi mentioned the senior from Yan Ge as soon as he opened his mouth. Obviously, he was ready to persuade Zhong Yu.

This is also a strange thing. The assassin of Yan Ge can be "persuaded".

In the past, this happened more than once. A serial killer told someone the "hardships" behind his killings, and after listening to them, the Yan Ge assassin left.

Even though that man was a bad guy and even though he killed innocent people, the people from Yan Ge just left, gave up the mission, and chose to "indulge others in doing evil."

Zuo Changxi knew very well that this was because the people in Yan Ge were not good people. To put it bluntly, good people would not become assassins and killers.

These are just a bunch of simple weirdos who care a lot about their reputation.

After listening to Zuo Changxi's words, Zhong Yu smoothed the strings of his zither, and the eight armies around him slowly dissipated.

Then, Zhong Yu asked back: "So what?"

His tone was extremely calm, as if he didn't care at all about the fame that Yan Ge had accumulated.

Zuo Changxi also slowed down his tone: "If you insist on doing what you did today, how can you be responsible to Yan Ge? You have failed your seniors and betrayed your trust. Is this okay?"

After hearing this, Zhong Yu said, "I have not betrayed my faith."

"You violated the contract with the Zuo family. This is unbelief."

"You didn't provide a good enough reason for you to do this, nor did you explain the loss of the Yan Ge seniors. You let them be tarnished. This is unjust."

"You are in Yan Pavilion, but you are disloyal. Yan Pavilion should be kind to you. You receive food and salary from Yan Pavilion. If you have such an attitude, it is disloyalty."

"You are unfaithful, unjust, and unloyal. Are you worthy enough to stand here and talk to me in the name of Yan Ge?"

Zuo Changxi stood in front of the gods and shouted at them harshly!
Most people from aristocratic families have a murderous mouth. After all, when they are in an aristocratic family, there are very few places where they can use violence.

Although violence is the most fundamental factor that allows the noble families to occupy high positions, it can only be used as a fundamental factor and cannot be used as a "norm".

The most fundamental things should be hidden and used last, linking violence with "punishment". In this way, punishment is there and power is there.

The world can be ruled by force, without resorting to actual violence every day.

But if violence is used to show off at any time and in any place, then violence will have no deterrent effect, and the foundations of many families will be unstable.

The same is true for the Zuo family.

Therefore, talking is also something they are good at.

After hearing Zuo Changxi's words, Zhong Yu obviously couldn't remain silent any longer.

He must give a reason to explain why he saved Gao Jian?
Otherwise, words can really kill.

So, Zhong Yu said, "I'm not good at speaking, but the Lijin Sect uses boys and girls as bait to refine copper and copper, and let Digong Town attract a steady flow of people. And your Zuo family advocates blood sacrifices and governs Cangzhou with blood sacrifices... Gao Jian eliminated the Lijin Sect, and it hindered your Zuo family's business, so I want to stop you here, is there a problem?"

His words were obviously not as powerful as Zuo Changxi's, even though his reasons seemed sufficient. This is often the case with people who are not good at speaking.

So Zuo Changxi scolded again: "It sounds good, but why don't you Yan Ge do it yourself? It's just a small matter to demolish the Lijin Gate. With the power you have shown, you can do it by yourself, right? Why don't you do it!"

Zhong Yu replied: "I don't do it myself because I don't want to kill people, but I admire people who do it. Is there a conflict?"

"So, because of your admiration, you want Yan Ge to bear the consequences for your actions?"

"I will quit Yan Ge." Zhong Yu raised his head.

Zuo Changxi let out a long sigh.

That's what I want.

Do it!

Kill him now and you can still catch up with Gao Jian!
　Someone actually skipped two chapters that were completely continuous in the plot... Can you really understand the plot this way? I'm shocked.
