Chapter 327 (1/2)
Su Ming ht not feel any hint of power from the old man before him, and in fact, the old uished by a gust of wind, but Su Ming was still filled with respect in his heart towards him
He respected this old man, but not because even Tian Xie Zi had to sit down quietly before him when he came to him
He respected this old man, but not because he was mysterious, neither was it because of Tian Xie Zi, whose robes even had to change its color when he ca respected this old man for one reason alone - He repaired that ordinary bone xun for hi’shis xun was an act of kindness to hirateful to this old man, that hy he respected hi’s level of cultivation would become, and even if the old man was truly just an ordinary person, that respect would never change
”I will forever re wrapped his fist in his palm towards the old man and bowed deeply towards him
The old xun roped about at the straw ht out the bone xun that belonged to Su Ming
”There are sos that can’t be considered as acts of kindness Since you believed that a blind man like me could repair your xun and trusted h fate, and you were also tied to h fate
”This is fate, it is not an act of kindness” The old ht hand, and with his left, he brushed against the surface of that xun lightly
”Come Sit before me… The xun is incomplete, but the broken parts on its body aren’t the er has a soul Did its previous owner pass ahen he was playing a song?” the oldsat down silently before the old man He looked at the bone xun in the old man’s hands, and a hint of sorrow appeared in his eyes
”That should be the case then…” The oldthat disappeared, ith it was the xun’s soul That is why it is no longer willing tobroken” The old man lifted his hand and pushed the bone xun in the direction before Su Ming
It was only during thiscould tell from the details that the old man was indeed blind
”Can it… Can it still produce sound?”
Su Ming took the bone xun There were cracks on that thing before, and now they had all turned into red, blood-like lines It looked as if the cracks were sewn together, and the xun was much heavier It felt heavy in his hands
”I can only repair what is broken outside As for the fact of its soul refusing to sing, that is not soe with e it is you,” said the old s, that is why they … If xuns didn’t have souls, how could they bear the weight of the people’s eet is?
”However, there are some who can sense the xun’s soul, and others who cannot” The old , but the emptiness in his eyes made it seem as if the world he saas different fro hts when he felt lonely while quietly playing a song that only he could hear The sorrow in the song was liketo recount his ain
”The xun’s soul is dead… That death is vague and cannot be explained ords, but right when I saw it, I knew that its soul was no longer present
”If you want it to sing once again, and sing with a voice that belongs to you, a voice that you want to hear, then you will need… to give it a new soul!” The old man’s voice echoed in the house with an ancient tone
The children’s playful laughter occasionally traveled in from the tribe outside Sometimes, they sounded close, and so Su Ming to feel a little dazed as he continued listening to it
”How can I do that?” Su Ming lifted his head and looked at the old et it” The old man remained silent for so looked at the xun in his hands blankly for a long tiot up and bowed deeply towards the old man As he turned around and was just about to leave, he suddenly stopped in his tracks
”Senior, the Land of South Morning will be plagued with a lot of disasters, especially where the tribe is located, since it’s not too far away frorate to the center of the land The battle this tiht not be like the previous battles that only occur once a century,” Su Ming said softly and lifted the flaps to the house before he went out
The moment one of his feet stepped out of the house, the old man’s ancient voice came from behind him
”There is no place in the world that is absolutely safe, but similarly, there is no place in the world that is absolutely dangerous Do plants have a choice where they grow?”
Su Ming stopped for a moment He had a somewhat hazy notion of what the oldwalked out of the house and into the sht sky, a conflicted look appeared on his face, but there was a firm resolution within his heart He knew that he was about to face a disaster the likes of which the Land of South Morning had never seen He also knew that therein this disaster
