Chapter 168 – Heaven And Earth Are Grief-Stricken! (1/2)
Chapter 168: Heaven and earth are grief-stricken!
The peak of the mountain was perpetually wreathed in cloud, with maple leaves reflecting the late autumn colours.
The sun s.h.i.+ning overhead, crystal-clear spring water cascading down the mountain.
The young people were handsome and blooming, indulging in the landscape to their heart's content and exhibiting their youthfulness.
The black-robed girl played a piccolo, while the white-robed boy played the accompaniment music, elegant music flowed from the edge of their lips, twisting around the mountain and fields, lightly hitting against the babbling brooks, adding energy and vitality to this beautiful paradise.
The flute's vocal range was broad, loud and clear. The notes coming from the leaves sounded fresh, clean and gratifying.
This tune, which conveys an infinite yearning for love, was vividly and thoroughly expressed, and made one ponder deeply.
At this time, at this view.
Playing the flute, Qiandu led the way in front. The young girl's footsteps were brisk but strong as she climbed over rocks and crossed several brooks. Occasionally, she rose high into the air like a beautiful and playful black b.u.t.terfly.
Li Muyang held a leaf in both hands, the leaf is soft, but his eyes were even softer. He stared intently at the black-robed girl in front. She is the woman he's chasing after. She is the love he yearns for.
Lin Canghai completely immersed himself in the melody, closely following after them. When they stopped, he also abruptly came to a stop. As though he was an affectionate man deep in love, but his expression was exquisite and cute, that makes people mistaken him as a celestial boy who fell into a wrong path.
Directly behind Lin Canghai, were deer, rabbits, a pack of wolves, and colourful pheasants——
They, surprisingly, were safe and coexisting peacefully.
Occasionally, Li Muyang and Qiandu gazed into each other's eyes, a joyous feeling penetrated from their inside to the outside.
He likes her!
She likes him too!
A glance like that can't deceive others, such emotions can't be disguised.
When the music played to the part of sacrificing for love, 'rise from the ashes', Qiandu's expression became mournful and the smile on Li Muyang's face completely vanished.
The sadness, despair and the painful feeling of seeking but failed to obtain slowly diffused across their body, tightly wrapping around their entire body and constricting their heart, which felt as though they were squashed down by a thousand pound boulder, in that, they couldn't even breathe.
Li Muyang felt a heart wrenching feeling.
He felt an endless sadness and the same white figure surfaced to his mind once again.
The white figure was saying farewell to him, uttering: 'I'll wait for you'–
I'll wait for you!
I'll wait for you!
I'll wait for you——
“Who? Who is that? Li Muyang's mood turned violent.
No matter how desperately he tried, he still couldn't see the face of the woman in white.
Who is she? Why did she say 'I'll wait for you'? Why would she be waiting for me?
Even if he does not know who she is, Li Muyang felt sad and aggrieved for her.
His eyes turned red, as though his body was invaded by some unknown demon.
He mustered up all his strength and changed his technique of playing.
The music became more sorrowful, and the sound became louder than before.
As the music reached the ears of connoisseur Lin Canghai, he immediately realised that Li Muyang's tone and pitch differed from before.
Now the sounds were more ambitious, serious, solemn and magnificent.
The Phoenix's steely determination to die in a show of flames and combustion and that endless fire were vividly expressed through his music.
Lin Canghai felt a burning pain on his face, a surge of boiling hot air pouncing towards him.
Flabbergasted, he lifted his head up, only to discover purple clouds floating across the sky.
“Purple Sparks?”
“Why would there be sparks?”
It's Li Muyang's music.
