Chapter 13 - Hidden Function of the Golden Bead
"Big Sister White!" Yue Qianchou shouted on the bridge, the zither sound came to a halt, then the White Fox stood up, she softly said, "Little Brother Chou! You haven't seen me for days!" If the elders of the Green Light Sect knew the White Fox was behaving like this, it was hard to imagine how they would react.
Yue Qianchou raised his hand and laughed, "I'm afraid to disturb Big Sister this time, but i'm gonna stay in the cave with Big Sister for a month."
The White Fox frowned, "Why so sudden?"
"My master is leaving for a month, he told me to find a remotely safe place to cultivate," Said Yue Qianchou who proceeded to sit in front of the pavilion. The White Fox nodded and continued to play her zither. The former smiled, he knew his big sister doesn't like to use many words, he didn't say anything further, then pulled out the Profound Heavenly Art scripture from his bag of holding to carefully cultivate.
After a few days of cultivating, Yue Qianchou felt the spiritual Qi in the air was very difficult to absorb no matter how much he struggled, he then took out two pieces of spirit stones from the bag of holding and activated Profound Heavenly Art again, the rich spiritual Qi was slowly inhaled from the two stones. An unknown time later, the spirit stones in his hands became dim, the true Qi in his body immediately felt a lot more vigorous. Yue Qianchou opened his two eyes, he stared at the two stones in his hands with a sigh, no wonder that cultivators treat these things as a money, really a good thing ah! A top grade spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred mid grade spirit stones, one piece of mid-grade spirit stone can be exchanged to one hundred pieces of low-grade spirit stones. Master once gave him more than a dozen pieces of mid-grade spirit stones, it was the same value as more than a thousand pieces of low-grade spirit stones.
Accompanied by the zither play, Yue Qianchou cultivated for a few days, at first he enjoyed the atmosphere, but now his ears could no longer tolerate it, in the heart thought, "Why does Big Sister White play the same song over and over again? Doesn't she get tired of it?" Suddenly, he threw the stone in his hand into the pool, stood up while looking at the White Fox, "Big Sister White!"
The White Fox stopped, the renowned beautiful face lifted up, with a puzzled look she asked, "Little Brother Chou, what happened?" Shortly after, she noticed a flash of white shadow passed by but did not mind it.
The white shadow that was hiding in the cave was Qu Ping'er who had been peeked by Yue Qianchou on that day. She heard someone was talking when she got into the cave and was surprised when she saw it. She could never have thought that the lecherous fiend actually spoke to the beautiful woman, she then hurriedly hid aside.
Yue Qianchou intended to make the White Fox change the song, with his current cultivation base he naturally didn't notice the presence of a third party in the cave, with a smile he said, "Big Sister White, why don't you try to sing a different song? I always see you sing that song over and over again."
The White Fox's eyebrows furrowed, "I have listened to many world famous songs in my early years, after that, not a single song could get into my heart. However, since I listened to your song, I can not think of anything comparable, why should I change it?"
Qu Ping'er, who was hiding in the cave, took a step back and murmured, "That song was actually created by the lecherous fiend! How is that possible?"
"Big Sister White's zither play is unparalleled! So I made that song for my sister, but Big Sister, I have another song comparable to that one, do you want to hear it?" Asked Yue Qianchou.
The White Fox's eyes shined brightly, "Little Brother Chou, Big Sister wants to hear it, if you can do another song, Big Sister begs for it!"
Yue Qianchou nodded, hands behind his back and walked back and forth on the bridge, he pondered what song to pick, it was best not to only make the White Fox like it, but also to move her heart. Otherwise, a late-stage Tribulation Crossing master hiding here would be a waste, she is a gold quality bodyguard material ah!
He walked back and forth with a pensive look, so that the White Fox eyes would be full of hope, the peeping Qu Ping'er was also curious, didn't know that this seemingly good for nothing perv was a musician master.
"There it is!" Yue Qianchou suddenly clapped his hands and smiled wide, "The song is called 'A New Dream of an Affectionate Couple of Butterflies'!"
"The name of the song is good, Big Sister will be blessed to hear it, "Said the White Fox softly.
Qu Ping Er at her hiding place murmured, "A new dream of an affectionate couple of butterflies is a beautiful name!"
Yue Qianchou put his hands behind the back again, he slightly brewed his emotions, sighed, with a slightly hoarse voice he began to sing;
Yesterday was like a river flowing from the East, faraway, leaving me behind
My heart is messed up day after day, depression and anxiety
Sever the water with a drawn sword, but the water flows even more
Raise the cup to drown the sorrow, but the sorrow begets more sorrow
Tomorrow morning's cool breeze will continue to blow from everywhere
Often, there is the laughter of a new couple, has anyone heard the weeping of the old lovers?
Love and affection, these two words are so troublesome
Should have asked for a complete understanding, or pretended to be muddled?
Knowing more or knowing less, it is hard to know enough
Looks like a duck, a butterfly, this thing shouldn't have happened
However, who can break free from the misgivings of the world?
Flower-like colorful World, a duck or a butterfly, in this mundane World
Why take the pain to ascend the heaven? Might as well sleep gently tenderly together...
After the song was finished, the White Fox just blankly stood there.
Qu Ping'er gaped at Yue Qianchou for a long time, then murmured, "the song was so touching, to be able to create such a beautiful song, he shouldn't be a bad person, was i the one who wronged him last time?"
"Big Sister White! What do you think of my song?" Asked Yue Qianchou with a bit unsure.
The White Fox nodded, her slender white fingers gently touched on the strings, her lips started moving, accompanied by the song such as the sound of a river flowing gently, sultry sadness, the listeners also sighed sadly.
Qu Ping'er listened several times, she secretly memorized the song, then quietly exited the cave. Yue Qianchou had to lament the musical talent of his big sister whenever he heard it.
Looking at that moving lips, he could not help but to think of the golden bead she gave him. Accompanied by the new song, he sat down cross-legged, in his mind emerged the dantian full of true Qi, inside could be seen an orbiting golden bead. Yue Qianchou observed it carefully, hoping to unravel the cause.
The surface of the golden bead was smooth and rounded, there was nothing special visible. Yue Qianchou sent his divine sense locked onto the orbiting golden bead, he wanted to check it's internal structure, suddenly, the young man who sat in front the pavilion disappeared...
The White Fox in the pavilion stopped playing the song, the charming eyes looked around the place where Yue Qianchou just sat down, her brow furrowed, and a powerful divine sense was scattered around. Within a radius of a few hundred meters, there was no trace of anyone to be found. She could not believe that with her cultivation, someone could incredibly slip away right under her nose.
....
Within a radius of hundred meters of open space, Yue Qianchou was dumbfounded alone, he tried to look around, but there was no sign of life to be seen, there was only a chaotic purple fog at the end of the open land.
"Where is this? And how did I get here?" Murmured Yue Qianchou, he then shouted, "Is there anyone there? Or is there anyone over there?", there was only a silence all around, devoid of any sound. He ran to the chaotic purple fog at the edge of the open space, wanted to break past to see what was there, but it was to no avail even with his strenuous effort.
Running around in the desolate open space for almost a day, Yue Qianchou was exhausted, he laid on the ground and pondered what was going on. It was started by focusing on the golden bead inside his dantian, he released a divine sense to examine it, and then he got deserted into this place, is this world inside the golden bead?
Thinking that, Yue Qianchou stood up, he checked his dantian to look for the golden bead, in addition to the empty true Qi of his dantian, the golden bead was also disappeared, surprised, "Is this really inside the golden bead?"
He bit his teeth, trying to release divine sense out of his body, one who does not try will never know the truth! He tried with a bit frightened. With his cultivation base, the distance of the divine sense usually could only reach one or two meters radius, however, it was stretched without limit here, until blocked at the edge of the chaotic purple fog.
Yue Qianchou was taken aback, this distance could only be achieved by people who have undergone Core Formation. After he used his divine sense, he suddenly felt that this few hundred meters open land seemed to connect with his own mind, where there was something, he would know immediately.
"There is a black stone behind that hill!" Murmured Yue Qianchou while pointing at a certain hill, he ran for a moment to check, and sure enough it was true. He tried the same thing for a few times and still got the same result, he was satisfied with his little play.
An accidental thought crossed Yue Qianchou's mind, "I want to go over there!" Shortly after, he found the terrain around him changed, and he was taken aback. Tried again a few times, he found himself could actually move freely here, with just a single thought. Gradually, Yue Qianchou found that in this small space, he got the grasp of the overall feeling.
Without knowing why, the originally light as the day in this space, actually gradually turning darker, Yue Qianchou stood there alone, with a little crazy thought, he hysterically shouted, "I want light! I want light!" At this moment, he realized that he was not the creator of the space here, and that he didn't get what he wanted.
However, after quite some time...
"Does Father have to be imprisoned here for all his life? But there is nothing to eat here, i don't want to starve to death.... Ah!" Yue Qianchou's heart was in grief, he sat on the ground while wailing loudly, bursting into tears, with a tearful face he murmured, "I don't want to die, who will help me, i want to go back..."
....
"Little Brother Chou! What happened to you?" Asked the White Fox with a soft voice, Yue Qianchou was startled, he wiped away his tears, his eyes suddenly became bright, he was sitting in the cave again this time. The latter stood up and laughed, "Father finally came out, almost scared Father to death, haha!"
The White Fox stared at the overexcited Yue Qianchou, she wrinkled her eyebrows, "Little Brother Chou! You suddenly disappeared and suddenly appeared. What are you doing? Big Sister is confused!"
Yue Qianchou finally woke up from his crazy state, waved his hand embarrassedly, "No hurry, no hurry, I haven't figured it out, when I do I will tell Big Sister, I will now confirm something," The former's eyes widened with surprise, while the latter ran away to the outside.
"Big Sister! I really didn't guess wrong, it's already dark outside!" Yue Qianchou smiled very proudly.
A few days later, started from the first incident, the White Fox labelled Yue Qianchou as a madman, she did not have the mood to play the zither. She saw him ran back and forth outside the cave all day, enjoying himself. If not hugging a bunch of flowers and plants, he would grab some small animals and birds, then ran to the pavilion to immediately disappear, a short or long time later he would suddenly appeared again, that laughing mouth didn't seem to ever close. The White Fox couldn't help but ask him what exactly he did in the end, however, he always gave the same reply of no hurry, no hurry...
Today, she saw him disappeared in front of the pavilion again, half a day later suddenly saw him with a hot roasted chicken leg in his hand, then bit a mouthful of it. The White fox could no longer hold herself and finally asked again, "Little Brother Chou! What the hell is going on here?"
TL Note for the curious readers, or you can just ignore it:
Here is the original song. If I'm not mistaken, the song is about a butterfly that dreamed of becoming a duck, a mandarin duck to be precise, a bit weird? Hold on.. In Chinese culture, a pair of butterflies are a symbol of love, so is a pair of mandarin ducks, it is a symbol of conjugal happiness. When the butterfly woke up from the dream, he wasn't sure if he really was a butterfly that dreamed himself as a duck, or whether he was a duck now dreaming as a butterfly. It is a philosophical question about what we take to be real.
What is love? Baby don't hurt me.
