Chapter 593 (1/2)

Guzheng Song (3)

He’s so good at acting!

Li Yue thought so too. She felt like Ye Lang was just dragging time.

“Alright! I shall show you what regret is!” said Ye Lang calmly. He tapped several spots on Li Yue, once again blocking a few of her meridian points.

“??” Li Yue did not understand but she noticed her hearing was gone again. She looked at him in question.

He then took out a guzheng. She didn’t understand what he was doing. Are you really in the mood for music now?

“??” Moji and the rest were confused. What was he doing? Was he really playing music now to entertain himself?

AT this moment, there were a hundred thousand pairs of eyes on him. They saw Ye Lang sit down, put the guzheng on the stand and then plucked a few strings as if tuning it.

“Hahaha, kid, have you gone mad?!” Moji and his men laughed. Ye Lang looked hilarious.

“I hope you’re not thinking I’d be touched by your music and put down my weapons! You must have read too many children’s stories, how could that happen?!”

“Hahaha… This is hilarious… Is he an idiot…”

Laughter spread and soon it was as if there was a blanket of laughter directed at Ye Lang. He ignored them, just tuning his guzheng. He hadn’t played it in a while.

“Ye Lang, what are you doing?” Li Yue could not hear the laughter but she could see everyone. She also forgot that she wouldn’t be able to hear his answer.

“I’m here to play some guzheng, kill some people!” said Ye Lang, also forgetting she couldn’t hear.

“Kill? Your guzheng can kill people?” Li Yue had read his lips.

“Just watch. I’ll play ‘High Mountain and Flowing Water’ first…”

Ye Lang started to play the part in the song where water flowed from the mountains. The sound of freshwater flowing delicately touched their hearts and at that moment, it felt like their souls were clean.

At this moment, they realised Ye Lang was very talented in music. But it was not enough to stop them!

However, they didn’t know that it was just the beginning. What happened next was what they never would have imagined.

‘High Mountain and Flowing Water’ was one of the music pieces chosen by NASA for the discography of Voyager’s deep space exploration. Voyager was launched on the 22nd of August, 1977, in search of other life forms.

However, the ‘Flowing Waters’ part of the song was vastly different, depending on who played it.

Many musician sects of China had this song but each sounded different. The Zhe sect’s version was most well-known.

The earliest record of this song stated that there used to only be one section during the Tang Dynasty but during the Song Dynasty, there were four sections in the ‘High Mountain’ part and eight sections in the ‘Flowing Waters’ part.
