1611 Sky Rhythm (2/2)
”Whoever followed you to the Monarch's Hall will eventually die. That is for sure.”
Ye Xiao gently reached out one of his hands and said, ”Master Xiao, why don't you stop nagging? Just show me how you do your blowing job rather than your mouth work. Oh… I think this is improper… Your blowing job is exactly a mouth work after all. Anyway… Never mind… Let's just get started. I can't wait!”
”Hah hah hah…”
Everybody else was laughing. They were amused by what their Great Chief had just said to humiliate the enemy.
It was frankly abusive… All men knew what it meant!
”Ye Xiao, you must be careful. I dare you to have the guts to listen to my special song, the Sky Rhythm of Life!” Master Xiao's eyes were filled with anger.
”Oh, I haven't had the honor to enjoy your performance. It will be my pleasure to have it. I wonder if I will be delighted or disappointed.” Ye Xiao stood up and smiled casually as if he had everything under control.
Master Xiao took a deep breath and then flew up in the sky. He put his vertical bamboo flute near his mouth. The music started to ring everywhere. It sounded like something from the heavens.
Master Xiao was flying over the sky like he was dancing along with the music. The music from his vertical bamboo flute wasn't loud, but it gave some special feeling to everybody's heart.
People seemed to recollect their memory of their childhood because of the beautiful music… They kept thinking of their parents, families, and friends, who had passed away…
The sound of the vertical bamboo flute was resounding among the crowd. It seemed the music was telling stories of their own.
Many people of the Monarch's Hall became teary-eyed as they listened to the song.
Ye Xiao stood there, listening to Master Xiao's performance. Images of the memory that he buried deep in his heart were displayed in his head.
As a beggar when he was a child, he got beaten by men, by dogs… Shuang and Han, the two little girls who were following him. They were trying to survive… Three kids…
They had been through many days of freezing weather. The three of them squeezed together to keep each other warm. He could never forget the day when his legs were broken. The two girls kept holding his arms to keep him warm… The three kids demonstrated true love in their lives by supporting each other…
That was not all. He started to think of the days he had to leave the two sisters, and the days he worked so hard to be a disciple and become a great man… He had eventually become the monarch that people all knew about…
He had been through so much life and death… He had survived so many dangers that could have killed him… He had traveled a lot in the Qing-Yun Realm…
