Chapter 436 Unparalleled Qin Skill
"Excellent! This music should only exist in heaven! Master should also hear it. It truly shows what it means to have one mountain higher than another. I admire you, I admire you!"
"Fellow Daoist, your skill with the zither is unparalleled among your peers in our realm!"
"Clap clap clap!"
Everyone already thought it sounded great, and now that those who know how to play the piano say so, the applause at the scene became even more enthusiastic, like thunder and tsunami, overwhelming and resounding through the sky.
For the first time, Wu Tianyang regretted not having helped these people when they were in trouble, just like Luo Ying had.
He was also extremely fortunate to have brought his junior sister Lingling with him this time. How could he not see that Fellow Daoist Di and the others did not really want to develop a close relationship with him?
Along the way, only Junior Sister Lingling could get along with them.
My perspective is still not broad enough... No, perhaps it has nothing to do with perspective at all. What perspective could Junior Sister Lingling possibly have? She's hardly ever traveled far from home.
They were even more unaware of the wickedness of human nature.
Sigh! I still need to improve my character.
Fearing this and fearing that will ultimately prevent you from achieving great things!
If you can surpass even the best zither playing skills, then with your talent, Fellow Daoist Di, you must be proficient in other skills as well, right?
"Good, good, good, hahaha, thank you for the compliment!" Mu Zhen laughed so hard that his teeth were showing, as if he himself had won the battle.
Excitedly, he jumped onto the stage, quickly unscrewed the bottle cap, and eagerly handed the mineral water bottle to Emperor Tianhuang: "Brother Huang, here, quickly drink some water to calm down."
I knew you were the best! Haha, we're all so proud of you!
Emperor Tianhuang didn't feel thirsty, but seeing how enthusiastic the girl was, he smiled slightly, reached out and took the drink, tilting his head back to drink several large mouthfuls.
Finally, he humbly said, "The outcome is still uncertain, so don't be too happy too soon."
“How could we possibly lose? Everyone’s listening, right, right, organizers?” Mu Zhen put one hand on his hip and proudly raised his chin at the cloaked leader.
The cloaked musician slung his zither over his back, stepped forward, and bowed to Emperor Tianhuang, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you possess such extraordinary zither skills at such a young age. I humbly admit my inferiority!"
"Great!" Bai Lingling jumped three feet high with her fist raised: "We won!"
Even the second prince didn't say anything unpleasant at this moment, and joined the others in clapping.
If he had known, he would have joined those people earlier. Otherwise, they would have won the last round, and there would have been no need for them to keep wasting time here.
Just in case the opposing team also had a time traveler, Mu Zhen and Di Tianhuang whispered to each other for a while, then straightened up and said to the cloaked leader, "Next round..."
We'll have a competition involving reading books, specifically... dictation. As for what we'll be dictating, you can choose the participants first.
A cloaked figure stepped forward.
"It's him, we can't change our minds, right?" Mu Zhen asked again, afraid they might change their minds halfway through. Only after the leader nodded did she say, "Divination..."
What should he recite from memory? A thought struck him, and he snapped his fingers, pointing at the cloaked figure stepping forward: "Recite the Rebirth Sutra from memory!"
This is it. Although the Rebirth Sutra is not long, only about two hundred words, it is really difficult to pronounce. Who would want to learn this kind of thing?
"Isn't this too easy? Why don't we try something else?" a woman standing next to a monk suggested loudly from the crowd.
An awkward expression flashed across Huangfu Zique's face; this guy only remembered the Rebirth Sutra.
Di Tianhuang's sharp eyes observed the cloaked figure who stepped forward to fight, and he noticed that when Mu Yunya recited the Rebirth Sutra, he saw the person's right hand clench slightly.
Raising an eyebrow and chuckling, he stood up and asked, "Would we like to bring our own writing materials?"
“Fellow Daoist, if it’s a competition of reciting scriptures from memory, then I can only send a different teammate,” the man said after a moment of silence.
"Huh? Didn't I just say I wouldn't change the player?" Mu Zhen said, dissatisfied.
The cloaked leader sneered, "Girl, I said in the last round that we could switch players!"
Emperor Tianhuang said nonchalantly, "Alright!"
"This... are you sure your calligraphy can surpass those of these ancient masters?" Mu Zhen tugged at Di Tianhuang's sleeve.
Fearing that Emperor Tianhuang's calligraphy might not surpass that of the ancients who were skilled with the brush, he decided to use a method that prevented the substitution of a different person to achieve a clever result.
Long Yuan put his hands in his pockets and called out, "Mu Yunya, come down. We must have faith in Ahuang."
However, a dramatic scene unfolded: the cloaked leader swept his gaze over his twenty-nine men and found that not a single one of them stepped forward to fight.
In a deep, woman's voice, she said, "What? Not a single one knows how? Sanhe, didn't you help people cross the line?"
The cloaked man named Sanhe chuckled dryly, "I was reciting the Diamond Sutra at the time!"
"Hahaha, reciting the Diamond Sutra to help people pass on to the afterlife, you're really something else."
"Can't the Diamond Sutra be used for salvation?"
"The Diamond Sutra is used to ward off disasters and prolong life, don't you think?"
This explanation immediately drew laughter from the audience.
The cloaked leader waited a while longer, but still no one stepped forward. Oh well, he had already achieved his goal anyway, so he ordered, "Release the spirit stones."
Mu Zhen quickly went downstairs to carry her luggage.
"It's up to you!" Wu Tianyang gave Bai Lingling a subtle look.
Bai Lingling tossed her head haughtily; she was indeed the most popular. She straightened her expression, smiling broadly as she greeted Mu Zhen's arrival. Then, she hooked her arm around Mu Zhen's and acted coquettishly, "Sister Xiaoya..."
For the sake of our journey together, you can't abandon us!
We won't just take up a spot for nothing. We'll calculate it per person, and each person will get a mid-grade magic weapon, okay? As she spoke, she took a phoenix hairpin off her head.
"This is the Nine-Tailed Phoenix Hairpin. Each tail can withstand a full-force attack from a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Hehe, now only three tails remain, but it is still very useful."
Upon hearing this, the Second Prince, who had just arrived, immediately pulled out a jade token: "Fellow Daoist,"
This jade tablet can withstand a full-force attack from a Golden Core cultivator, but it only targets attacks from Golden Core cultivators. Would you be so kind as to do me the favor of the twenty-six of us?
Wu Tianyang was speechless. As expected of a prince, he was very generous.
Even more generous came the team of women in red who had previously tried to force their way in; they simply pulled a jade box from their sleeve pocket: "Fellow Daoist,"
I think your friend..."
He glanced meaningfully at Fu Tingyu's severed arm and said arrogantly, "This is the Bone-Healing Flower. When taken together with bone-setting pills, it can regenerate a cultivator's broken bones. We are seventeen people; may we do him a favor?"
The small pit stopped Mu Zhen, who wanted to catch it: "Host, we didn't lose Fu Tingyu's severed limb. No matter how good this flower is, it's not as good as the original."
Mu Zhen hesitated, then retorted mentally, "The severed limbs are all rotten, how can they still be used?"
Fu Tingyu's mind was in turmoil as he stared intently at the jade box.
Only he knows the extent of the disruption that losing an arm can cause to a person's life.
Moreover, he didn't want to remain a cripple with incomplete limbs forever.
Huangfu Zique's gaze fell on the small giant pit. Why was she stopping him?
No one here could see the small crater, nor could they hear her speak, so she didn't try to communicate with Mu Zhen through telepathy. Instead, she said directly, "As long as the bones aren't broken, it's usable. Listen to me."
Let's save our spots for other great prizes!
