Chapter 239 Coming out of seclusion
Chapter 239 Emerging from Seclusion
Across the vast land, millions of soldiers scattered and transformed into countless white clouds that appeared in the sky.
Then Ye Ru stood up and bowed to Ji Kang:
"Thank you for your help, sir."
"You're welcome. I've never seen such a vocal range before. Does the piece you're playing have a name?"
"Xiao Xiang Shui Yun".
Ye Ru repeated his previous explanation to Yu Mengyang, and then said...
"Xiao Xiang Shui Yun, a fine name. One can understand its artistic conception just by hearing the name. No wonder you were able to compose such a powerful yet extremely combative piece. This piece is gentle, yet it contains strength within its gentleness, and it is full of killing intent."
Ji Kang commented, and then added:
"Now that you have constructed your vocal range, you should have thoroughly comprehended the Zen Mind of Clouds and Water, right?"
I wouldn't dare say I have a thorough understanding; I only know a little bit about it.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru spoke very respectfully.
“Indeed, this Yunshui Chanxin is very mysterious, and there is even a special power in it. Even I cannot fully understand it. I tested you earlier to see if you would be arrogant. Now it seems that you are not bad. I will give you the score of Guangling San. You must inherit my legacy.”
Ji Kang extended his finger and then gently tapped it. A ball of light emerged from his finger and shot directly into Ye Ru's brow.
boom!
Ye Ru felt a vast amount of information spreading through him, and he couldn't help but close his eyes to digest it.
"Guangling San is a battle song. It can imbue the soul of the zither with Nie Zheng's hidden power. Using Nie Zheng's sword, it can hit the enemy with 100% accuracy."
Ji Kang told Ye Ru, then waved his hand and slowly said:
"All I can do is this: after you finish your studies, don't become like Han Kui; you must protect your country."
"Rest assured, I will use all my knowledge to bring peace to future generations."
A resolute glint flashed in Ye Ru's eyes, and then he said:
"Take care, sir!"
Ye Ru knew that Ji Kang was now just a remnant soul and could not be taken away at all. Therefore, he could only perform a solemn student ceremony. With a thought, he walked towards the Yingtian Book Tower.
Outside the Yingtian Book Tower, Ye Ru suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes. His Zen Heart of Cloud and Water was still beating, and ripples occasionally spread outwards. However, the evil aura no longer leaked out in the slightest.
"I don't know how much time has passed, but it shouldn't be more than three days."
Ye Ru murmured to himself, then stepped out of the Yingtian Book Tower.
……
Outside the Tower of Boya, Zhan Lunhui and the others became even more anxious.
"Three days have almost passed. If Ye Ru still hasn't come out, we'll go find him."
Yu Mengyang frowned. Ye Rucai was more talented than the average scholar, especially in the field of qin (a seven-stringed zither), where he was unparalleled. He would not stand by and watch such an outstanding student die.
"I'll go in and take a look."
Zhan Lunhui frowned, just about to step forward, when a light footstep came from the darkness. The footstep grew closer and closer, and finally a rather young face was revealed.
"Gentlemen, Lord Zhan."
"You've finally come out! We've been waiting for so long. Generally, students should come out after two days, but you've stayed inside for a full three days."
As soon as Yu Mengyang saw Ye Ru come out, he immediately approached him.
"I am a student and I apologize for keeping you all waiting."
Ye Ru quickly clasped his hands in greeting, feeling somewhat moved. He realized that the other party had likely been here for so long for his safety.
Although the official in front of him was stern and unsmiling, Ye Ru could still glean some information from his eyes.
"It's good that you're alright. I wonder if you found anything inside?"
Zhan Lunhui smiled slightly and said.
"Your Excellency, I have indeed gained something from it; at least it has enhanced my understanding of the art of the zither."
Ye Ru answered respectfully.
"Is there anything else?"
"besides……"
Ye Ru hesitated for a moment, then spoke again:
"Inside, I met Ji Kang, one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove."
Ye Ru pondered for a moment, and finally told him about meeting the great Confucian scholar Ji Kang, but he did not tell him about Nie Zhengjian, Shen Zibao's book, or the poem "Guangling San".
"So that's how it is. No wonder there was a kind of talent and music coming from the Tower of Boya. I always thought it was an invasion by the demon race. It turns out it was the great Confucian scholar Ji Kang. I have really offended you."
After listening to Ye Ru's story, Yu Mengyang and the others quickly clasped their hands in a fist salute to the Boya Tower.
"Alright, this trip to Boya Tower is now over. There's nothing else to do. Remember to come find me at Yaoge tomorrow. The task of constructing the Five Tones Realm must not fail, otherwise, the reputation of Yingtian Academy will suffer a great blow."
After a moment's hesitation, Yu Mengyang looked at Ye Ru and then smiled:
"If the Five Tones Realm succeeds, I can help you build your vocal range."
"Yes, if you can successfully construct the Five Tones Realm, Mr. Yu can help you build a sound range, something many people would love but cannot obtain."
Mr. Ying joked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru's face showed a strange expression, and then he said softly:
"To be honest, Mr. Yu... with the help of the great Confucian scholar Ji Kang, I have completed the vocal range."
"what?"
A look of shock appeared on Yu Mengyang's face, then her eyes widened:
"You've completed vocal range construction? Which of the five major vocal ranges is it?"
"Don't lie to us."
Mr. Ying curled his lip and said.
"It seems like none of the five are it... but it also seems like the range of a powerful military."
Ye Ru was puzzled, as he still didn't know what type of vocal range he possessed, only that it was unusually strange, and even Ji Kang didn't know.
"None of the five types, could it be a mixed vocal range? Doesn't that mean the advantages of both vocal ranges are completely canceled out?"
After hearing Ye Ru's words, Yu Mengyang thought about it carefully and finally came to a conclusion that made Ye Ru's heart skip a beat.
Previously, within the Cloud and Water Zen Mind, that sound range was exceptionally powerful.
"It's alright, don't belittle yourself. You just need to practice diligently and strive to carry forward this noble art."
Seeing the change in Ye Ru's expression, Mr. Ying patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.
"Alright, now that Ye Ru has come out, I'll take my leave."
Mr. Ying bowed and left.
"Did the student also take their leave?"
Ye Ru tentatively asked.
"Okay, go back and get some rest. Remember to come to Yaoge to see me tomorrow."
Mr. Yu waved his hand, and after Ye Ru left, Zhan Lunhui turned his head and said, "This boy has a tenacious character. He was able to persist in the Cloud and Water Zen Heart for three days. If possible, this Cloud and Water Zen Heart might be able to be subdued by this boy..."
"That's not a good idea. The High Priest has not yet returned to the academy, and the energy in the Cloud Water Zen Heart is very unstable. If Ye Ru absorbs it, I'm afraid Ye Ru's life will be in danger."
Yu Mengyang frowned and said in a deep voice.
"It doesn't matter, everything depends on whether the Zen mind is stable."
Zhan Lunhui shook his head and left as well.
