Ten Thousand Monsters Pavilion: Mountain and Sea Chapter

Chapter 2
In 685 BC, Ju State, inside the riverside pavilion.

Living in a foreign land, often drinking alone with the river, the feeling of loneliness is always difficult to express.

Only playing the piano can make Jiang Xiaobai feel more at ease, as if in the sound of the piano, he returned to the time when he was a boy playing with Lu Shu, and someone was riding a horse not far away.

The sound of hooves was urgent.

The person who came was Ji Taste, the son of Ju State.

He smiled all over his face, hooked Xiaobai's shoulder and said:
"Xiaobai, we know that Gongsun Wuzhi is dead, and the princes are waiting for you to take over the government again!"

Xiaobai stood up abruptly, but the qin on his lap fell to the ground.

"I have tasted it, is this really true!?"

"It is well known that Gongsun Wuzhi went to Yonglin to play and was killed by Yonglin."

While the two were talking, Bao Shuya arrived with a carriage.

This time without the urging of others, Xiaobai walked quickly to the carriage.

Suddenly, he turned his head and saluted:
"I have been in refuge for many years. You and I are like brothers and sisters. If the country of Ju is in trouble in the future, we will definitely live up to today's kindness."

The carriage moved very fast, with the same bumps as when it came, but not in such a hurry.

After Jiang Xiaobai returned to the country, he became king under the expectations of everyone, and was known as Duke Heng of Qi in history.

He made great efforts to rule the country regardless of previous suspicions, and appointed talented people, which soon made Yin Guofu rich.

Everything was developing towards the bright side. One day, Qi Henggong summoned the Prime Minister alone.

"Bao Shuya, do you remember that girl in Qilin Mountain?"

"The old minister has quite an impression. The king has been friends with him since he was a child."

"Find her for the lonely king, and I will make her queen."

Bao Shuya was a little surprised, how could a witch marry into the palace?
Even if the ministers advise against this kind of thing, the king will still do it.

It's just that Bao Shuya understands that all this is impossible.

He knew that the king would ask about the girl, so he sent someone to inquire about it as soon as he returned to the country.

"Your Majesty, Qilin Mountain was burned down not long ago. The old minister heard that the girl jumped off the cliff and committed suicide."

After finding out the cause of the incident, Xiaobai didn't blame anyone, but felt that it was not worth it, not worth it for himself and Lu Shu.

Xiaobai's heart has since been missing a piece.

Later, every year, Xiaobai would go on tour in a low-clothes, go to Qilin Mountain alone to worship Lushu, and play the piano alone on the edge of the cliff until dusk.

But today is a little different. He heard a passerby say:

"Have you heard of Qingyin Village! There is a beggar holding a peerless piano, what a waste!"

Peerless piano?

"The best violin in the world."

It was a gift I promised her when I was a teenager.

When he came to the entrance of the village, the noisy and piercing sound of the piano came oncoming, Jiang Xiaobai smiled secretly in his heart: "It is indeed a waste of things."

When he got closer, he found that it was a child. He was so handsome that people couldn't tell whether it was a boy or a girl.

The child's clothes are shabby, but the qin in his arms is very bright.The black body of the piano is very elegant, and its sound is as loud as a bell.

Xiaobai put one hundred Qi Guo Dao coins into the bowl in front of the child.

The ugly piano sound stopped.

"Thank you! But this is too much, and my music is not worth so much money."

Xiaobai leaned over to touch the qin, and said with a smile: "It's okay, if you are willing to give me this qin, I can exchange it with a thousand pieces of gold."

The child hugged the piano tightly.

"No, no, this is left by my father!"

Lu Shu is no longer with him, so what if he takes away his zither?

"Then, are you willing to be my musician? You don't have to be bullied again from now on."

The child thought for a while, then nodded abruptly.

"Does this piano have a name?"

The child shook his head in a daze and said:

"No."

"Then how about calling it a bell?"

The child nodded again.

For the next few years, the child has been honing his skills in the palace of Qi Wang, and only when he goes to pay homage to Lu Shu, Xiaobai will meet the child.

Time flies, and many years have passed.

Qi Palace.

"This time, it is imperative to attack Lu, so don't discuss it again!"

Xiaobai didn't like the remonstrance of the ministers. The war is indeed a waste of money and people, but the arrow is on the string, so it has to be launched.

Walking in the barracks, there was a sound of a zither, the sound of a horn, the sound of bells and drums, and the spirit was long, which made people gear up.

Xiaobai picked up the guard's horn and blew it, and the two sounds were more inspiring, and joyful expressions appeared on the faces of all the soldiers.

The affairs of the country are busy, and without knowing it, the children of the past have become so proficient at playing the piano.

The next day, the [-] troops, encouraged by the sound of the bell, were brave enough to break through the enemy's army. It didn't take long for the Qi army to win a complete victory.

But Gong Ji Tonghan of Lu Zhuang was not afraid of death, and threatened each other with her own life on the earthen platform.

The sharp blade was pressed against Jiang Xiaobai's throat, his expression remained unchanged, he still wanted to fight to the death.

But the ballad of Lu Shu came out from the camp, and everyone present was lost in thought.

The two countries signed a peace treaty on this, and they will not invade each other.

After returning to the barracks, Xiaobai looked at the girl in front of him. Although she was wearing men's clothes, her appearance and demeanor were more and more like her in memory.

It's just that the time is too long, he can't believe it.

"Your piano skills have been perfected, you don't need to be confined to one place in Qi, you should go to a higher place to hone your skills."

"I just want to stay here."

Now that he has lost his original intention, just seeing this girl, those beautiful memories flooded his heart, making him very heartbroken.

"There is a hundred gold here, enough for you to live and die, leave the bell behind, get out!"

"I do not go."

"In the country of Qi, what the lonely king wants to do is what he wants!"

"Then play a song for me, and I'll leave after listening."

Isn't this cheating?
The lord of a country actually gave you a poor girl to play the piano?
With that in mind, the song has already been played.

After chasing the girl away, he touched the bell in his arms, but he couldn't feel any joy.

Later, Jiang Xiaobai did many things that he thought were terrifying when he was young. In order to make Qi truly strong and prosperous, he implemented a system of military and political integration, military and civilian integration.

At one time, under the banner of "respecting the king and fighting the barbarians", the nine princes joined forces to quell the civil strife in the Song Dynasty, attacked the Shan Rong in the north, attacked the Chu State in the south, and wiped out small countries such as Tan, Sui, and Zhang.

The princes became more and more afraid of him, and the admiration of the courtiers was gradually swallowed by fear. Even the emperor of Zhou obeyed him and did not dare to disobey him.

Jiang Xiaobai finally became the overlord of a generation.

Lying on the sickbed in his later years, he knew that his time was short, and after explaining the funeral, he drove all the courtiers out and waited for death.

However, the accumulated illnesses over the years made him unable to turn over in pain, so much so that it took so much effort to pick up the wine glass in front of the bed.

Several children competed with each other for power and profit, but no one was in front of them.

These days, his health is getting worse and worse. Not only can he not eat anything, but his personality has also become very weird.

While smiling wryly, a piece of folk song suddenly came out, and tears welled up in the old man's eyes: This singing voice is hers.

He closed his eyes remorsefully, looking back on the rest of his life, what exactly did he get?

Opening his eyes again, Lu Shu came in front of him, just as in his memory, so young, lively and beautiful.

Xiao Bai's lips trembled violently, but he couldn't say a word.

Lu Shu touched his forehead and asked:

"Xiaobai, would you like to go back to Fuyang Mountain with me?"

As if he had returned to his youth, Xiaobai nodded his head vigorously, crying bitterly in Lu Shu's arms.

With a trembling hand, he pointed to the bell hanging on the wall.

"Ah Lu, I can't believe it, I can't believe it's you."

After Lu Shu finished telling his story, the corners of his eyes were a little moist, but it lasted for a few seconds and turned into a cheerful smile.

Qi Ling's tone was very calm:

"That child, is that you?"

Lu Shu clasped his hands and said:
"I once met God Fuxi, who gave me the ability to be reborn. So after jumping off the cliff that day, I was reborn as a child and lost all my memories."

"The bell?"

"It was also given by the Great God Fuxi. The bell will accompany my rebirth. When I can play it proficiently, my memory and mana will come back."

Qi Ling was a little envious of such a long life but still had two lives.

There's just one more doubt.

"Miss Xiaolu, for thousands of years, son Xiaobai has been reincarnated many times, why did you come to him this time?"

Lu Shu pushed his hair back, stroked the bell lightly and said:
"After Xiaobai died, I didn't want to believe that he had left me, so I stayed in the room where I used to practice piano in the Palace of Qi. Every time I played the piano, I felt that Xiaobai was still there."

"Three months later, Wugui, who had just ascended the throne, was killed. I don't want to see Xiaobai's descendants slaughtered, so..."

Chongming said coldly:

"So you peeled off your own fur and gave it to Wugui's descendants to keep them safe and healthy?"

"Mr. Zhongming, how do you know?"

"This kind of self-moving old story is really done by someone."

Lu Shu got a little angry, her tearful eyes were very cute, she said angrily:

"It's not that I am moved by myself, those children really survived!"

Seeing that Chongming was going to offend a big client, Qi Ling quickly dissuaded him:

"Chongming! What nonsense are you talking about! What a cold-blooded man!"

Just as Chongming wanted to defend himself, he saw Qi Ling's gesture of stretching out three fingers.

This girl's condition is not bad.

Chongming bowed slightly and said:
"Sorry, unintentional move, please don't mind."

Lu Shu calmed down a bit and continued:

"After losing my fur, I fell into a deep sleep and didn't wake up until recently."

Kind of weird.

Qi Ling asked puzzledly:
"Wugui's descendants have been silently protecting you for thousands of years?"

Chongming answered:
"Obviously not. Human greed cannot be suppressed for thousands of years. Miss Lushu has no shortage of fur now."

There are some things that Lu Shu doesn't want to mention. She vaguely remembers those people throwing her weak self into the wild forest. As for who saved her, she can't remember.

Now that everything was explained clearly, Qi Ling knew that it was time to start working, she read the term, and Wan Yaopu appeared in her body.

Since his father ran away from home a few months ago, Qi Ling has become the new owner of the Wan Yao Pavilion.

And the demon power passed down from generation to generation by the Qi family resides in the Ten Thousand Monster Spectrum that only the owner of the Ten Thousand Monster Hall can use.

"Miss Xiaolu, we will find the son Xiaobai for you, but in the world, if you don't pay, you won't get anything."

Lu Shu didn't ask about the conditions of the Wanyao Hall, and put his hand directly on the Wanyao's book, and the spirit line was drawn to look like Lu Shu's body, "I know your rules, and the owner of the hall can use my demonic power at will. go."

Qi Ling really didn't want to bully such an innocent and silly girl, so she smiled awkwardly and said:
"No matter what you say, you only need [-]% of the demon power!"
