Chapter 532 Secluded Bamboo (2/2)

Lei Jing did not turn back. She smiled and asked, ”High Priest, are you looking for me?”

”There is no one else here other than you.” The High Priest replied.

Lei Jing spoke softly, ”I heard you aren't feeling well recently. Why are you out?”

Subsequently, there was a coughing fit. It was weak.

The High Priest walked up to Lei Jing's side. Despite not turning back, Lei Jing saw the reflection of the High Priest from the Lake Jade. He was terribly skinny and he looked as if his bone was just wrapped with a layer of skin.

It was not the first time Lei Jing saw the High Priest but compared to the past, he was indeed much more withered.

She sighed and asked, ”Is there anything I can help you with?”

The High Priest laughed, ”I wanted to listen to the zither. Do you know how to play the zither?”

Lei Jing replied in helpless tone, ”You already brought the zither along. It is not appropriate if I say I don't know how to.”

The High Priest replied in a serious tone, ”Naturally it isn't appropriate.”

After he finished, he began laughing.

The High Priest passed the zither to Lei Jing. The body of the zither was black all over with not less than fifty strings.

Lei Jing fiddled with the string, and she said, ”This is a secluded bamboo.”

The secluded bamboo was a famous zither which was once used by a celestial for summoning a soul that had fallen into the endless hell. The endless hell was a mythical place in the Netherworld. By now, nobody knew where the endless hell actually was. Perhaps it no longer existed.

In general, falling into the endless hell meant one was beyond redemption. In the endless hell, the soul would suffer endless pain but the celestial successfully relieved the soul of that pain from the endless hell.

Celestials were powerful but secluded bamboo had its attribute too.

”Not bad, this is a great zither. It has been with me for many years but unfortunately, it is hard for me to play it now with my condition. Hence, I have to ask this favor from you.” The High Priest said.

Lei Jing asked, ”What do you want to listen to?”

The High Priest replied, ”Anything, it depends on what you want to play.”

”My teacher once chanted this 'Mountain Ghost' for me and there the secluded bamboo was mentioned. I like it a lot, so I will be playing it.” Lei Jing spoke softly.

The secluded bamboo carried an air of mystery and depth. Its melody was graceful and bright which made it perfect for 'Mountain Ghost'.

Playing the zither could help calm her down and allow her to be in her best state for the battle three days later.

The beautiful melody of the zither was accompanied by her soft but beautiful singing:

It seemed that someone was passing through the bend in the mountain and it was me carrying a ficus and having binata around my waist.

I was looking at your graceful smile and you said, you admired my elegance.

You were riding on a leopard, followed by a raccoon, the cart was dressed in flowers and colorful flags.

It was me carrying an orchid and I was willing to break a flower just to tell you how I feel.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

I was still in the secluded bamboo where I could not see the day of light and the path was dangerous and hence I was late.

I stood alone at the tall mountain, the clouds were all underneath my feet.

The day was as dark as the night, as the east wind blew, the Gods made the rainfall.
