Chapter 246 – Blackwave Zither (2)

This was obviously a cold underground tomb, but she unexpectedly felt warmth.

She slowly stepped forward. As she examined the person lying inside, her heart trembled!

This time she could clearly see the appearance of the person inside.

It was a man! A man with an elegant countenance.

His skin was like jade, with long eyebrows that looked as if they were painted, temples slanted and raised. His soft eyes were closed; he had upright eyelashes, a tall nose bridge, and light red thin lips which were slightly stretched.

His posture looked peaceful as if he was only sleeping and not dead. It almost seemed like he could sit up and chat at any moment if anyone were to lightly knock on the coffin.

Next to his body, there was a zither, as blue as the ocean.

The body of the zither seemed to be made out of precious stones. Under the candlelight, it appeared to emit a glint similar to a water wave. As it reflected on the body next to it, it felt like the man was submerged in deep water.

The little qilin’s eyes shined. “Blackwave Zither! It’s the Blackwave Zither!”

Ning Xuemo’s heart jumped when she heard the name “Blackwave Zither”.

In her world, there was a legend about eight great divine tools[1].

However, this zither was one of the ancient and mythical ten great divine tools of this world.

The effect of the zither was a bit similar to Fu Xi’s zither[2]. Both were musical instruments that could help cultivate the heart and nurture the character, as well as kill.

If it was played normally, the notes would sound like nature itself, causing birds and animals to dance along with the music. In the case the zither was played with a special skill, each note sent out would be like a hidden weapon that could take lives. The power would be enough to level a whole mountain.

According to rumors, if any musician were to play that zither, their skills would reach the peak, enabling them to summon the water from the Yellow Springs with a pull of the string, obliterating all living things and turning the whole world into a vast expanse of water.
