The Taihang Mountains are towering for thousands of autumns, and the stars are moving and things are changing, but why worry?
Time passes like a gap in a horse, drizzling rain and frost pass through spring and autumn.
The towering mountains were still there. During the Great Qin Empire, few people had come here, and it was a scene of a primitive forest. High cliffs and steep peaks, high mountains and steep ridges, and the occasional cry of apes rose and fell…
"Do you want to find out the location of the City of Traps?”The white-haired man stood at the edge of the cliff and looked at the mountains in the sea of clouds as he asked.
"It's confirmed. Should we inform Li Si?”A handsome man in a sky-blue tight-fitting suit and a white one-shoulder brocade robe stood on a dead tree and asked softly.
" No need. Our target is Ge Nia," the white-haired man said calmly."Maybe there's that strange kid!”
"The City of Traps doesn't seem to be that easy to enter. What plans does Lord Wei Zhuang have?”The seductive woman was slightly stunned as she asked.
" Get the hidden bat and Lin 'er to sneak into the City of Traps." Wei Zhuang remained motionless like a statue.
"Yes, sir!" The white-robed man was like a feather as he flew up and left.
"City of Traps? "I think the Gongshu family will be very interested." Wei Zhuang's voice became ethereal as if he had thought of something." The Mohist's mechanism is to walk with wood and stone. Bronze opens its mouth to ask Gongshu. I wonder who will win?"
Chi Lian remained silent as she looked at the sea of clouds. She knew that the kid was in the City of Traps. She had never thought about how to face him…
If Chi Lian could see through the clouds, she would be able to see a small courtyard hidden in the dense forest.
The purple-robed girl stood in the courtyard with a bamboo dragonfly in her hand. Her gaze was as calm as water. Behind her, a woman in red sat cross-legged on the ground, practicing strange hand seals.
"You've always been calm, so why do you like the toys in your hands so much?”The woman in red let out a breath of turbid air and asked softly.
The purple-robed girl didn't reply. She put away the bamboo dragonfly, shook her head, and walked into the small house.
" Let's get ready. Our target is the Mo Family tycoon. We'll have a mission soon." The woman in red did not mind. She seemed to be used to this silent partner.
Fu Chen didn't know that people from all walks of life were about to gather in this peach garden in the mountains. What he cared about was why there was a cold man blocking their path.
" We're in big trouble. Ge Nia has been met by Xiao Gao," Thief Zhi muttered to Master Ban.
"You are Xiao Gao?" When Tian Ming heard Thief Zhi's words, he said casually,""What do you want?"
"Draw your sword!" The young expert pointed his sword at Ge Nia and spoke in a cold voice.
" You're not my enemy." Ge Nia was unmoved and pulled Tian Ming behind him.
"You are my enemy!" Xiao Gao's gaze was as cold as a sword, as if he wanted to pierce Ge Nia.
" Xiao Gao, Ge Nia is actually a guest invited by the leader…" Master Ban was about to step out to smooth things over when he was forced to the side by Xiao Gao's sharp gaze.
"Isn't it just a fight?" "Brother Chen, use your Poem Sword to teach him a lesson."”
Fu Chen almost fell down. This kid really had no conscience. He looked at Tian Ming and scolded with a smile,"Why aren't you going up?"
" I can't beat you, so of course I'll use my strongest if I want to fight," Tianming said with a smile as he turned around to look at Shaoyu."Right, Shaoyu?"
"Agreed!" Shaoyu had also learned to be bad.
"I already said that I want to keep a low profile. Can the two of you not make a name for me?”Fu Chen muttered and stood up helplessly. He looked at Little Gao and said,"Can we change the way we compete? Wasn't fighting and killing boring? We are cultured people. How about something more civilized, such as poetry, singing, dancing, or music?”
"Wha…what?" Robber Zhi was stunned and asked,""What is music?"
"Music? " Isn't it just playing the zither, flute, pipa, erhu, violin, cello, trombone…" As Fu Chen spoke, he felt that the atmosphere wasn't right. Xiao Gao retracted his sword, and a trace of curiosity appeared on his cold face. The people behind him looked ignorant. Only then did they realize that they had said the wrong thing again. They quickly checked the history of the Qin Dynasty in their minds and retracted their words."It's music."
"Brother Chen, what are pipa, erhu, and violin? Why haven't I heard of it before?" Shaoyu had a blank expression. He walked over and pulled Fu Chen's sleeve, asking very seriously.
" I'm just talking nonsense. I didn't do that. I was just scaring him," Fu Chen quickly explained. He was sweating profusely.
"Liar, you definitely know!" Tianming also walked over with a face full of distrust.
" Stop talking nonsense. I'll talk to you after I've tricked this statue away," Fu Chen quickly said.
" Then let's compete with the music and dance you mentioned." Xiao Gao turned around and left."One day later, we'll talk about the school!"
"Are you sure?" Ge Nie walked to Fu Chen's side and asked indifferently.
"Definitely!" Fu Chen slapped his chest until it made a sound.
"Kid, you're going to lose if you compete with Xiao Gao in music.”Master Ban patted Fu Chen's shoulder with his mechanical hand and smiled bitterly.
" Kid, you really have courage. I admire you." Thief Zhi patted Fu Chen's shoulder and shook his head before leaving. It seemed like he didn't think Fu Chen would win.
" Little Gao is an expert in music. Big Brother Fu Chen, you're in trouble." Gao Yue giggled, as if she was happy to see Fu Chen in trouble.
"Why do you think I will lose?" Fu Chen was unhappy. He was lazy to begin with. So many people did not think well of him. He suddenly became motivated."Let's go. Tianming, Shaoyu, let's go make a guitar. I don't believe it.”
"Alright…" It was dawn.
"Good!" This was Shaoyu.
" I want to help too." This was Gao Yue.
He asked Master Ban where he could get tools like wood and saws. Considering that there were no steel wires, it would be good to use silk from ancient times. After asking, Fu Chen brought the three of them to the cave where the woodworking department and the farming department were located.
Ge Nia followed Master Ban to the room he had been assigned. He seemed to be uninterested in anything other than swords.
As they heard that someone wanted to make a new musical instrument, a few Mo disciples from the Woodworking Department were very willing to help Fu Chen. Fu Chen drew the shape of a guitar on a piece of paper and roughly explained his requirements. The few disciples were very fast and finished in a short while.
Fu Chen thanked them for their help. The guitar was snatched away by Tian Ming. He held it in his hand and studied it for a long time. He still couldn't understand how this thing performed music, so he returned it to Fu Chen.
Under Gao Yue's lead, he went to the Farming and Mulberry Department. The thickness of the string was a very troublesome problem. Fu Chen remembered the conversion between centimeters and inches. There were six strings, and the thinnest was 0.076 inches. Fu Chen felt that it was very troublesome. To make the silk so thin and elastic, it was very difficult to break.
Unfortunately, he had underestimated these female disciples of the Mo Family. Each of them was an expert. After asking for the specifications and what they wanted, they also quickly made the silk strings of different thickness that Fu Chen wanted.
Under the gaze of a group of female disciples, Fu Chen installed the strings one by one. After a simple adjustment, Fu Chen found that the pronunciation of this guitar was surprisingly good.
Without any gifts, Fu Chen could only promise to treat a few female disciples to roast pheasant.
"Brother Chen, don't you know how to make Beggar's Chicken? Roasting pheasants is my specialty." After leaving the cave of the Mulberry Division, Tianming had a puzzled expression.
" Of course you'll do it," Fu Chen said shamelessly with his guitar.
"Why?" Tianming realized that he had been tricked and jumped up.
"Who told you to push me out?"
" The capable do more work," Gao Yue refuted on Tianming's behalf.
"Don't you know that I'm lazy?" Fu Chen hummed a little tune and asked Gao Yue to take him to his guest room.
"Brother Chen, aren't you going to practice?" Shaoyu shouted from behind.
"Practice what? "Wait until I blind his dog eyes tomorrow." Floating Dawn turned around and smiled evilly.
Shaoyu shivered and whispered to Tianming beside him,""This guy must be so eager to show off.”
" I think so too," Tianming was deep in thought."Yue 'er, wait for me!"
Fu Chen, who was sitting in the small house, had been thinking about what music to play. In order to compensate his grandparents, his father had let him live with his grandparents for a period of time and experience his father's childhood. Therefore, he knew the literature, art, and music of that era very well. He had also learned music from that era.
Everything had changed in the era he lived in. With the things he had now, he could not perform any music at all. That kind of rhythm was completely based on the sound of nature. If his spiritual core was not sealed, he could completely perform the true sound of nature. Unfortunately, he could only do so now.
Just as she was racing her mind, someone knocked on the door and interrupted her thoughts. She opened the door and saw Duanmu Rong. She had brought her dinner.
" Miss Rong, please come in, please come in." Fu Chen was stunned for a moment and quickly invited her in.
" No," Duanmu Rong said as she handed the plate to Fu Chen."Are you okay?"
" No problem, so what if I lose? It's nothing. What's there to bet on?" Floating Dawn took the plate and answered with a smile.
"That's good!" Duanmu Rong's stiff face suddenly showed a trace of joy. She turned around and left.
"Thank you, Miss Rong!" Fu Chen thanked him loudly.
As night fell, Fu Chen patiently chased away Tianming and Shaoyu who had come to listen to the story. He lay on the bed alone, looked at the bright moon, said good night, and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Fu Chen was woken up by Tian Ming. This kid didn't seem to have the habit of sleeping in. After a simple wash, Gao Yue brought Fu Chen and Tian Ming to the lecture hall. After entering the lecture hall, Fu Chen found that there were many people, old and young.
The few commanders of the Mo Family were not lacking in any of them. A blacksmith like you would understand music? Old Man Ban, how could a carpenter like you understand? Fu Chen cursed in his heart. Xiao Gao had already sat down. There was a zither on the low table in front of him, and beside it was an incense burner with smoke curling up.
Duanmu Rong had a calm expression on her face. The snow maidens sat beside Duanmu Rong and coldly stared at Fu Chen, not saying a word.
Ge Nie did not come, but Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng did. Shaoyu sat beside them and winked at Fu Chen.
" Since the young hero has arrived, let the competition begin," Teacher Xu said as he looked at the strange-looking instrument in Floating Dawn's hand.
"Old man, how do we determine the winner?" Tianming interrupted.
" Of course, it's up to the few of us to judge who plays better," Master Xu replied as he stroked his long beard.
" That's unfair…" Fu Chen interrupted Tian Ming's words. Fu Chen smiled and said,""They won't be biased. You can sit down peacefully. How can I lose? I'm an immortal.”
" You're bragging again." Tianming curled his lips and pulled Gao Yue to sit at the side.
"Who wants to go first?" Floating Dawn looked at the short table beside Little Gao and sat down on it as he asked Little Gao.
" Since you're a guest, of course, the guest comes first." Little Gao ignored Floating Dawn's rudeness and said indifferently.
" Okay, I'll go first." Fu Chen held the guitar in his arms and prepared to start the performance.
