Chapter 92: Phoenix Seeking Phoenix
Having made up his mind, Yin Qi said with a novel smile, "Since there are rumors of immortals living in seclusion here, why don't we go into the mountain to see? Maybe we can see the true face of the immortals. Zhang General, we will rest in Phoenix Mountain tonight and set off again tomorrow morning."
He was going to Hongzhou for disaster relief, so he couldn't afford to be delayed on the road.
Therefore, this trip into the mountain was best to just meet Princess Longji and leave a deep impression.
He would continue to strategize after he returned from disaster relief.
Speaking of which, although this is a prehistoric world, the number of powerhouses above the immortal realm within the Great Shang territory can be counted on one's fingers.
The most famous one is naturally Grand Tutor Wen Zhong.
Besides that, others are elusive, and mortals are hard to come into contact with.
Unlike after the Fengshen War started, when various immortals, and even saints, appeared constantly.
Zhang Shaokang looked at the sky; it was almost noon. Delaying for an afternoon was not a big problem. At worst, they would speed up in the next few days. He couldn't dampen the Prince's interest.
So, he nodded and said, "Okay, Prince."
……
At the foot of Phoenix Mountain, a river flowed past.
Three hundred elite cavalry set up camp by the river. Yin Qi left Guo Chen and Dong Zhong to guard, and after lunch, he took Zhang Shaokang and Ding Ce into the mountain.
In this world, although Phoenix Mountain was just an ordinary big mountain.
But if it were placed on the Earth in the previous life, I fear the majesty of Mount Tai would not even be one percent of this mountain.
Here, strange peaks were beautiful, and clouds and mist were swirling.
Above were white clouds like snow, and below were clear lakes like mirrors.
The mountain was full of ancient cypresses, with dense shade blocking the sun. Walking in the mountain forest, the fragrance of trees was refreshing, and strange flowers and grasses were spitting fragrance, making people feel very comfortable.
Whoosh!
To speed up, Yin Qi was carried by Zhang Shaokang and Ding Ce.
They stepped on the tree crowns as if on flat ground, each step hundreds of meters away, as if walking on air, heading straight for the main peak of Phoenix Mountain.
Heaven Realm martial artists, although they couldn't fly, could still walk on air for a short time.
From the outskirts of Phoenix Mountain to the main peak, if it were an ordinary person, not to mention whether they would be eaten by fierce beasts or even monster beasts halfway, just walking would probably take a month.
Yin Qi, although he had the cultivation of the late human realm, would also take several days.
But carried by Zhang Shaokang and Ding Ce, in just an hour, they arrived at the main peak of Phoenix Mountain.
If Princess Longji was in Phoenix Mountain, she could only live on this mountain.
This main peak was unusually majestic and towering, with a height of over ten thousand meters.
Ancient trees were lush, and strange flowers and grasses were everywhere.
There were both cliffs and precipices, and silver river waterfalls.
Spirit deer were calling in the mountain forest, and white cranes were spreading their wings above the white clouds.
Soon, they arrived at the top of the mountain.
At the top of the mountain, there was a natural platform. Looking into the distance from a high place, the mountains and rivers for ten thousand li around were all in view, making people feel open-minded.
Yin Qi felt something in his heart and couldn't help but recite:
"How is Phoenix? Yin Shang is endless."
"Creation gathers divine beauty, Yin and Yang cut dusk and dawn."
"The chest produces clouds, the eyes enter the returning birds."
"I will climb to the top, looking at all the mountains as small."
The clear voice spread with the mountain wind, flowing between heaven and earth, lingering for a long time.
Zhang Shaokang was a pure martial artist.
He just simply felt that the Prince's poem sounded very good.
As for where it was good, he couldn't say.
But Ding Ce was both literary and martial. He suddenly widened his eyes and clapped his hands again and again, praising, "Good poem, good poem. Prince, this poem is truly magnificent, making people feel open-minded."
"I will climb to the top, looking at all the mountains as small."
"Only the Prince has such a heart to write such an eternal masterpiece."
"And 'Creation gathers divine beauty, Yin and Yang cut dusk and dawn,' this sentence is even more filled with Dao rhyme."
"The wonder of Yin and Yang creation is the most lingering."
"Hehe, just a feeling!"
Although this poem wasn't written by himself, Yin Qi accepted Ding Ce's praise entirely.
With Princess Longji's cultivation, it was impossible not to notice this place.
The Liu Yanchang of the later generations attracted the Three Holy Mothers with a poem, right?
His "Looking at the Mountain" was much stronger than that messy poem of Liu Yanchang: "Only suspecting that I am traveling in fairyland, the human face and peach blossoms are very shy. The Liu Lang is heartbroken, looking for her only in dreams."
In Yin Qi's view, this poem was only slightly better than a doggerel.
He really didn't know how the Three Holy Mothers of the future thought, actually liking such a person?
Standing in the wind, Yin Qi appreciated the beautiful scenery around him.
He deliberately posed, his white robe hunting in the wind, making him look like a banished immortal, wanting to ride the wind and return.
But after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement around.
Yin Qi felt disappointed in his heart.
Could it be that Princess Longji went out today and was not in the Green Luan Douque?
Or was it that a poem was not enough to move Princess Longji?
Thinking of this, Yin Qi smiled slightly and said, "I once composed a zither piece. Speaking of which, the name is quite compatible with Phoenix Mountain. Today, I have a feeling and want to play a piece. Why don't you two enjoy it?"
Ding Ce's eyes lit up, and he asked hurriedly, "The Prince is willing to play a piece, so we will naturally listen with respect. I just don't know what the name of this piece is, that it is compatible with Phoenix Mountain?"
"Because this piece is called 'Phoenix Seeking Phoenix'!"
Yin Qi said, taking out a jade table, jade stools, and an ancient and exquisite zither from his storage ring.
This zither was not simple; it was an immortal artifact itself.
Although Yin Qi couldn't exert the power of this immortal artifact, he could still play the piece.
The previous owner was proficient in music, but didn't know "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix."
This "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" score was learned by Yin Qi in the Republic of China world.
To enhance his foundation, besides martial arts, he also read extensively, involving the Hundred Schools of Thought and music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
"Phoenix Seeking Phoenix!"
Ding Ce's eyes widened.
This is a love song?
Could it be that the Prince composed it to marry the Princess in the past?
No wonder it is compatible with this Phoenix Mountain.
Phoenix, Phoenix, the male is Feng, the female is Huang.
Yin Qi sat on the jade stool. He brushed his hands across the strings, tested the sound, and played it casually.
The zither sound was like a gurgling spring, the melody was beautiful, and it spread with the mountain wind, echoing in the mountain.
At the same time, Yin Qi also began to chant:
"There is a beauty, I see her and cannot forget."
"Not seeing her for a day, I miss her like crazy."
"The phoenix flies and soars, seeking the phoenix in the four seas."
"Helpless beauty, not on the east wall."
"Using the zither to speak, chatting about my inner feelings."
"When will I be promised, to comfort my hesitation."
"Wishing to match virtue, holding hands together."
"If we cannot fly together, it will make me perish."
"Phoenix, Phoenix, return to your hometown, roaming the four seas to seek your phoenix."
"If you haven't met, there is nowhere to go, why realize today that you have ascended to this hall!"
"There is a beautiful lady in the boudoir, the room is close but the person is far, poisoning my intestines."
"Why have the fate to be mandarin ducks, why fly together!"
"Phoenix, Phoenix, follow me to roost, get entrusted with the tail and be a concubine forever."
"The friendship is harmonious, who knows if we follow each other in the middle of the night?"
"Both wings rise and fly high, don't make me sad."
Playing and singing by himself, Yin Qi became more and more immersed in it.
He couldn't help but think of the feeling when he pursued his first love in his previous life.
The zither sound and singing voice also seemed to become more moving, lingering and affectionate.
I don't know when, a few seven-colored birds flew over.
Either landing on the jade table,
Or landing on the zither,
Or landing on Yin Qi's shoulder.
They all closed their eyes, seemingly immersed in this wonderful zither sound.
Even when Yin Qi finished playing, they opened their eyes, but they were unwilling to leave, instead chirping at Yin Qi, the sound clear and pleasant, extremely moving.
Ding Ce regained his senses and praised, "Prince, great talent, technique close to the Dao. After today, I fear it will be hard for any zither piece to enter my ears again. Very fortunate, very regrettable!"
Zhang Shaokang racked his brains, also wanting to praise.
But when the words reached his lips, they became: "Hmm, really good to listen to."
Yin Qi smiled gently, gently drove away the seven-colored birds, put away the zither, jade table, and jade stools, and said, "It's getting late, let's go down the mountain. This place is beautiful, and it wouldn't be bad to live in seclusion here if I can't be the Human Emperor in the future."
The poem was read, and the zither was played.
If Princess Longji still won't come out, then there is no need to linger here any longer, only to make people feel annoyed.
It is just a pity that I have countless theories and techniques for picking up women, yet now I cannot even see the person; truly, a hero has no place to display his prowess.
Just at this moment, I saw ten thousand rays of rosy light suddenly appear in mid-air.
The space seemed to be sliced open, and inside, another world was revealed, filled with rows of immortal palaces and jade towers, surrounded by auspicious clouds and overflowing with colorful rays, as if it were an immortal realm.
The number of views for the hidden part of the Qzone has reached nearly six hundred, only a few short of the highest subscription count. Although this part is free, I am still very happy in my heart that everyone went through such trouble to read it; this shows that everyone still likes this novel quite a bit.
