"In short - whether to go or stay is up to you. Anyway, I am happy to have some peace and quiet."
On the other side, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng was combing its feathers pretending to be indifferent, and then he turned his head to look at Kuxue and gave serious instructions.
“Although this is not the first time I’ve come down the mountain, I still have to remember what my master said—
If someone gives you food, do not eat it without careful examination.
If someone covets your beauty and speaks sweet words to you, asking you to go home and marry him, you must tell him that you are a teacher or you are dead, and make sure he never comes back;
Also, if an outsider immortal falsely claims to know us, we should not believe him completely. We need to go back to the immortal peak to compare before we can let down our guard;"
In short, it was just some nagging words from a mother watching her child travelling far away, which were more suitable to be said to Sister Ganyu than to the professor girl, but Kuxue always had a smile on her face and responded to them one by one.
Ganyu stared at him with her lively little eyes and asked in a soft voice.
"What about me? If I come down to earth to experience, does the True Lord have anything to say to me?"
"You? If you get into trouble in the future, just don't tell your master about it."
Chapter 15 Piano Sound
Leaving Aozang Mountain, we arrived at the top of Tianheng Mountain.
The girl looked out at the busy streets and the bustling crowds of people returning home.
Compared with my childhood memories, the market scene is now ten times more lively and is constantly awakening the human part of me.
It is a sense of security that comes from a desire to return to the collective.
The girl did not resist this feeling.
...even felt a little nostalgic.
Once upon a time, I was also a part of this vast living being, but now times have changed and I have more important responsibilities.
This time, we went down the mountain not only to work hard for the livelihood of the people, but also to promote the birth of the country "Liyue", but this matter cannot be rushed.
Without grassroots management, an effective governance system cannot be formed. This is not a business game. The needs and customs of society, and even small matters down to the individual level will be reflected in the data in every detail.
Therefore, in addition to knowledge about farming, education cannot be neglected, and we even need to think carefully about urban planning.
Guiliyuan is a flat land, but if it encounters floods or heavy rains, it goes without saying that serious damage will be caused.
The girl went down the mountain while thinking about what she needed to do.
But during this period, a leisurely piece of music attracted her attention.
The sound of the piano was elegant, like the sound of a mountain spring, captivating the heart. When the girl came to the place where the music came from, she found a beautiful lady sitting and playing the piano.
She sat in the woods, with her self-defense gun hanging casually at her side, her hands dancing on the strings, and music was born from her fingertips.
It was not until the end of the song that the woman opened her eyes. When she found the half-immortal girl standing not far away and listening quietly, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
"Interesting. I originally thought that the people in Guiliji were all wooden figures who only listened to the music played by the machines and had no thoughts of their own. Now it seems that I was biased."
"The way of music is born among the birds and beasts of heaven and earth. Anyone with spiritual awareness can appreciate it. Now I am separated from the people, led by the Demon God of Dust and the King of Rock, and enlightened by those with great wisdom. How can the True Lord be a wooden man?"
"Why? Although Guizhong was able to transform the former wasteland into a prosperous town, he was indeed very wise. However, he relied too much on mechanical tricks and ended up making a perfunctory musical instrument like the "Dust Cleansing Bell"—"
The wavy-haired woman stood up from under the tree. The soft light from the forest sprinkled on her delicate eyebrows, making her look even more like a fairy. Her slender hands under her wide sleeves stroked the body of the zither and she answered the girl in a teaching tone.
"Music is the resonance of the soul, it is something that comes from feelings, and it can never be generated by a machine. How can people who only listen to such simple imitations of music get resonance from it?
So, what's wrong with saying they are just mindless wooden figures?"
It can be seen that this True Lord has his own knowledge and understanding of music theory. However, it is precisely because of this dedication to music that he can play such fascinating music.
However, although Gui Zhong's "Di Chen Ling Xie" cannot completely replace human composition, the finished product is not completely useless. Whether it is used as a musical enlightenment or in sacrificial ceremonies, it has its value.
Both are forms of musical expression and there is actually no need to argue about them.
More importantly, when the granaries are full, one will know etiquette; when one has enough food and clothing, one will know honor and disgrace.
People today have not yet solved the problem of survival, and it is really too difficult to expect them to understand what this True Lord is pursuing.
After noticing that the girl remained silent, the immortal thought that he had convinced her, and finally revealed a faint smile.
"I believe you can understand the reason. After all, being attracted by this song and finding me by following the sound is a manifestation of fate.
Why don't you tell me your name? Then you can learn spearmanship and music theory from me. With your talent, you may become a great scholar in the future."
"Thank you for your kindness, Master. But Kuxue has been a disciple of Master Liuyun Jiefeng for a long time, and there is no reason to change it."
"Oh... that guy is your master?"
Upon hearing the immortal title of Master Liuyun Jiefeng, the immortal, who had seemed somewhat mysterious, suddenly revealed a hint of surprise.
"Do you know my master?"
"I don't know if Master Liuyunjiefeng has ever mentioned this to you, but my immortal name is Master Gechenlangshi."
"...Ge Chen Langshi Zhenjun, Ge Chen...ah, I remember it!"
In the past, other immortals often came to visit Ao Zang Mountain, and Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun had a wide range of friends, so he knew almost all the famous people in the world.
In order to avoid embarrassment for his own disciples to remember the mixed immortal name.
Therefore, Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng had already introduced the two of them to the immortals she knew.
There are also comments from the True Lords to help deepen your memory. Among them is the comment about "Ge Chen Lang Shi True Lord" -
"Ge Chen Lang Shi Zhen Jun has a free and easy personality. She enjoys the hustle and bustle of the mortal world, and she loves wine and songs. Among the many immortals, she is also an exceptionally outstanding and interesting person. I really want to see what kind of sparks will be created if she meets Gui Zhong."
Now it seems that what Zhenjun said was absolutely right.
"The True Lord once mentioned to me that if I meet you, I must invite you to visit Aozang Mountain."
"...Liuyun Jiefeng is still the same as before. Well, after this trip back to Liji, I'll go meet her. I wonder if her ability to nag people is still as sharp as before."
As if he recalled some bad memories, Ge Chen Lang Shi Zhenjun shook his head, placed the body of the zither across his waist, then raised his toes, picked up the spear, and performed a beautiful gun flower, which made people dare not underestimate him.
It seems that this True Lord is also an expert in spearmanship. After all, walking in the human world with such a fairy-like appearance and temperament, it would be very dangerous if he didn't have some martial arts skills.
The girl replied while observing the other person.
"You are indeed as talkative as ever. I am sure you will be very happy to see me then."
Then she asked again.
"But I heard from you that you are planning to go to Guiliji?"
"That's right. This time I have composed a piece of music that is enough to defeat Gui Zhong. Then I will ask the most impartial Emperor Yan Wang to judge for us. With the Emperor here, we are not afraid that the guy will not agree to the invitation."
Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun slightly raised his eyebrows, revealing a sharpness that was inconsistent with his otherworldly temperament.
"Then may Kuxue dare to show you the way? I think the True Lord should also be interested in the changes in Guiliji over the years, right?"
"...Then let's go together. Anyway, you are a child that suits my taste. I won't feel lonely if you keep me company."
Upon hearing this, the girl also bowed slightly.
"I am overjoyed to be favored by the True Lord."
"...Wait, you said, you are Kuxue? And you are a disciple of Yu Liuyun Jiefeng..."
"If there is no one else with this name, then the Kuxue that the True Lord is talking about must be me."
"Then in the end, won't it be yours..."
After seeing the embarrassment and shame flashing across Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun's eyes, Kuxue also revealed a cunning smile like a cat.
"That's right. The Demon God of Dust you are about to challenge is actually my mother. I will take you to find her in person."
Chapter 16 A Chance Encounter
Kuxue's identity was not a secret among the immortals. Whether it was the people on the Emperor's side or the people on Guiliyuan's side, most of them had seen this girl who looked more like a human than a fairy beast.
Especially since she became the disciple of Master Liuyun Jiefeng, whenever she invited guests to drink, she loved to brag to other immortals about how well-behaved and obedient her disciple was, and how talented she was, which made the other immortals extremely envious.
In addition, all the immortals who have participated in or tasted the girl's craftsmanship are very fond of this child who is young but enthusiastic, considerate and knows etiquette.
Over time, the girl's reputation spread among the immortals in the Liyue area.
Gechenlangshi Zhenjun was a person who could not stand loneliness and loved to travel around the world. Sometimes when he met other immortals, he would sing and drink. When talking about their recent situation, he would always shake his wine pot and sigh that Liuyunjiefeng Zhenjun had accepted a good disciple.
Its name is Kuxue.
On the day the rumor was born, auspicious snow fell from the sky, and this strange sight could be seen throughout the Guili Plain.
Therefore, the Emperor gave her the name Chuxue. But after she became his disciple, it was changed to Kuxue for some reason...
"As the saying goes, the first snow is very romantic. It also implies auspiciousness. Why did you change the word '初' to '亻苦'? Given your bloodline, life experience, and circumstances, why would you use this name?"
As they set out on the road to Guiliji together, Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"Many immortals have asked me about this matter. At that time, Kuxue just told them that since the elder sister's name is Ganyu, it is okay for the younger sister to be called Kuxue."
There was a faint smile on Kuxue's face.
"Most of the immortals just thought I was joking with them, and Kuxue also hoped that they would understand. However, now that I am fortunate enough to be traveling with the True Lord, and I am asked about it, if I continue to hide it, it would make Kuxue seem dishonest."
"No wonder the other immortals praised you so much. It's no wonder you are so clever and likable. I really don't know how Liuyun Jiefeng taught you."
When Ge Chen Lang Shi Zhen Jun heard that the girl regarded him as special, he was naturally pleased and his words became more intimate.
"I just watched and learned more. As for the name Kuxue, it actually dates back to the day when I had not yet formally become a disciple of a master."
The girl recalled.
"At that time, I was just as the True Lord said. I had only heard about the suffering and desolation of the mortal world, but I had never seen or experienced it myself. In addition, Kuxue was sleepy at that time, and my mother didn't want me to face that heavy responsibility too early, so she kept it a secret from me.
I just said that the day when the first snow falls is auspicious. My birth is also blessed by people just like the glass lilies that bloom all over the mountains and fields. "
Ge Chen Langshi Zhenjun nodded while listening to the girl's inner thoughts.
"This is true."
"But if my birth is really a sign of good fortune as my mother said, then why has this chaotic world never stopped for so long?"
Kuxue looked at Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun, whose eyes showed some surprise.
“All I saw was the harsh earth and the people who were forced to leave their hometowns to survive. They were like lonely souls lost in the world, with no idea why they were born and no idea who they were dying for.
Perhaps you cannot understand, and think that this is just a self-inflicted worry for a mediocre person. But once you see the true face of the chaotic world, it is difficult to forgive your past childish and shallow self.
But if the so-called auspicious sign of snow is nothing more than the starving corpses all over the fields, the scene of hell on earth will be hidden by the snow, leaving only a seemingly peaceful and quiet snowy scene.
In today's world, it snows every day. When is the first snow?"
The girl's eyes revealed a complex emotion of self-mockery and sorrow.
"We practice immortal arts and follow the principles of nature. In this case, before there is no peace in the world, perhaps it would be more appropriate to use the name Kuxue."
"...Your personality is exactly like Guizhong's."
Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun didn't think he could convince the other party. Just like her persistence in music theory, the girl also had her obsession on this path.
This stubborn tenderness and unconditional love for mortals is too similar to the end.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh."
It was probably the first time that she told such sincere words to an outsider. The girl’s cheeks were as red as wintersweets in the snow, making people unable to look away.
"Nothing. There are few people in the world who are as honest as you. You are willing to trust me and confide in me. How can I laugh at your wishes?"
Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun shook his head and answered softly.
"What's more, I prefer the bustle of the mortal world to the quiet and lonely fairy peak. Without you to protect the common people, even if I play the best music, only insects and beasts will listen to it. That's not beautiful."
"Haha. Thank you for your understanding, Master. I feel less depressed now after being able to say these words."
The girl put her hands behind her back, intertwining her fingertips, and walked more briskly. She came in front of the True Lord and smiled at him.
"If possible, can I talk to you if I have any worries in the future? After all, I am embarrassed to tell my master and mother about these things. It would be bad if it makes them worry more."
"...You should be considerate of them, alright. Since I started it, I should bear the consequences."
Looking at this gentle girl bathed in the light between the trees, filled with warm light, Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun slightly raised the corners of his mouth and agreed to her.
However, I really didn't expect that this child would be more willing to choose to trust her, someone she just met, rather than staying with her or returning to her in the end.
In a way, isn't this another proof that I am better than them?
This cheerful mood makes people want to sing a song.
