c5 (2/2)

A normal zither should have eight strings, but this ancient zither that was like the work of the heavens was missing five!

A tall man stood near the stone table. He was wearing a plain white robe, with a plain white cloak over it. His clothing seems ordinary, if not for his hairstyle which would be easy for people to mistake him for a relatively clean scholar.

His hair was black and glossy and reached his waist. However, the hair near his temples was cream color.

Among these luxuriant white hair, each side of his temple had hair hanging down and resting on his chest while the rest of his hair were formed into a single knot to bind his black hair together to prevent them from being messy.

[TL: continues to describe the nose, eyebrows and other things on his face…… :'(

Raw: 鼻梁英挺, 眉目间刚柔并济, 眼若丹凤, 眸若寒星, 面颊刚颊刚毅中透着江山柔情, 唇线的刚柔一吻能醉美人.]

It was difficult to tell the type of feeling he would give to others. With a glance, righteous and demonic qi was contained within; n.o.ble and normal together; domineering and gently coexisting; not lacking chivalrous and tenderness. When he looked back, he was like looking at the world in an imposing manner.

There was a phrase called ‘ 风情万种’ [TL: At different times, it gives others a different impression but his ‘风情万种’ and woman’s ‘风情万种’ is different.

The only word to describe his beauty was also used to describe a woman’s beauty; absolute beauty!

This kind of a man is extremely hard to find in the world!

On the misty mountain, the ‘scholar’ stood as straight as a brush as his gaze wandered into the horizon while playing the zither with one hand and the other hand kept behind his back. His five fingers were like the wind, gently fiddling with the three strings and playing the sounds which attracted Miao Yi’s attention.

As the mountain was in the middle of the twenty miles radius basin, the scholar was like a bat. He used the ancient zither to produce sound waves and was able to identify those who trespa.s.s into the zone.

He was, however, unable to discern if Miao Yi was attracted by the sound of the zither, or came here by chance, but he could feel Miao Yi’s hesitation.

Without stopping his five fingers from playing, he brought the other hand towards his chest and slowly pulled the ribbon of his cloak, and untied it.

The cloak flew as it floated off his shoulder and drifted away, into the fog.

When Miao Yi stopped hesitating, he realized the sounds seemed to have moved and had changed to a different direction.

Miao Yi scratched his head as he looked around perturbed. He decided to painstakingly follow the sound of the zither.

The ‘scholar’ at the mountain top blinked for a while and slowly looked at the direction of Miao Yi.

His confirmation disturbed his playing of the zither. Placid on the surface, his mood, however, was affected and his five fingers moved a little faster for a few minutes. The sounds became somewhat abrupt.

The sounds of the zither changed directions a few times like there was someone trying to run away with it. Miao Yi was attracted by the sudden increase in tempo. He wanted to see the person who was playing the zither in such a place.

Led by the sound of the zither, he did not notice that he had already gone out of the ‘之’ word road.

Outside the ‘之’ word road, there were many black creatures with ‘sickles’ and their body size so big that it was very scary. Some were mating, while others were preying on the b.l.o.o.d.y corpse of people with their frightening sharp teeth.
