Chapter 312: Playing for You
This Heavenly Harp is a celestial-grade magic artifact. Even if it is severely damaged, it is still a celestial-grade magic artifact, having been nourished by "celestial intent"!
The Daoist Wuyin himself was a seventh-level Immortal Ascension cultivator.
Even his soul could be perfectly contained by the Tongtian Lyre.
Even if there are two more souls at the Saintly stage, it doesn't matter.
However, in the perception of the Silent Daoist, this young man was an extremely young mortal, but his soul was so powerful that it was unlike that of an ordinary person, pressing down on this self-contained world to the point of trembling and collapsing!
Although the Tongtianqin lost its spirit due to damage, it still retains a trace of its original instincts as a celestial artifact.
Its instincts told the Silent Taoist that the young man before it was terrifying! In fact, the Silent Taoist couldn't see through him at all. That "mortal" skin was like the hardest iron wall, and no one could see the "essence" beneath it.
In other words, this young man has not yet unleashed his power, or perhaps he is unaware that if he were to unleash his power even slightly, this entire world would collapse, and naturally, it would no longer be able to contain him.
Therefore, even if the Silent Daoist truly had the intention to kill Gu Heng, he wouldn't dare to do it.
Because success is almost impossible, it will make the young man realize that something is wrong, and he will understand that he can easily reveal the secrets of this world.
That would be hilarious.
"Oh dear, I love that you're so impartial, old man. I'm so sorry I was just cursing you to lose all your gold coins."
Gu Heng had an idea, so he immediately sat down cross-legged in front of the Silent Daoist, muttering a few words of apology that sounded completely unashamed. "Hehe, it's alright."
The Silent Taoist smiled.
Although he didn't know what "exploding gold coins" meant, it sounded like sarcasm to him no matter how he looked at it.
Despite the mockery, the Silent Taoist dared not do anything.
"Alright, then I'll get straight to the point. Actually, that guy lied to you. His son specializes in torturing and killing talented men and women, draining their cultivation, and then dumping their bodies in the wilderness. Now they've even set their sights on a girl named Liu Yu, who possesses... the 'Myriad Sounds Body'!"
As soon as Gu Heng sat down, he began pointing and gesturing at Yu Quzi, slapping his thigh as he spoke, looking as if he were vehemently opposed to evil.
But actually, he opened the system interface, looked at the introduction about Liu Yu, and read it aloud.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to describe the "body of ten thousand sounds".
Admittedly, Gu Heng didn't know what the "Body of Ten Thousand Sounds" was, but since it could attract Yu Yinzi, it must be very important.
Therefore, he planned to tell the old man in front of him directly.
"Senior, don't listen to him! This person fabricated evidence and is trying to harm me—"
Yu Quzi naturally wouldn't let Gu Heng off so easily. She immediately blushed and started to argue stubbornly, since no one here could produce any evidence, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Shut up."
But he was immediately interrupted by the Silent Taoist.
Or rather, as soon as Wuyin Daoren opened his mouth, Yuquzi immediately shut up. His face turned bright red, but he couldn't utter a single word.
"You just said... there's a girl in the mortal world who possesses the 'Body of Ten Thousand Sounds'?"
The old face of the Silent Taoist was almost squeezed together.
"You don't believe me?" Gu Heng raised three fingers to the sky: "I swear a solemn oath that not a single word I've said is true..."
"Stop, stop, stop!"
The Daoist Wuyin was so frightened that his heart almost stopped, and he quickly pried Gu Heng's hand off.
Just as he was about to make a solemn oath, the Tongtianqin's instinct immediately conveyed the message of "fear" to the Wuyin Daoist. Without a doubt, if this person were to make a solemn oath in this self-contained world, it would probably cause the entire space to collapse!
The Silent Taoist could not afford such a price.
So they quickly stopped Gu Heng.
"You really don't need it?"
Gu Heng stared at him suspiciously.
This old man, how come he looked like a wise and sage just a moment ago, but now he's as cowardly as a coward.
"No need, no need, I believe you!" The Silent Taoist quickly dissuaded Gu Heng from his idea.
"That's fine."
Gu Heng nodded.
No need to swear, that's for the best.
I've heard that some people in this world make reckless oaths to the heavens, only to be struck by lightning as a result.
It's very mystical.
"The Body of Ten Thousand Sounds, that was the supreme physique that the 'Sound Immortal' possessed back then. Although I don't need you to swear an oath, if you say that someone in the world possesses such a physique..."
The Daoist Wuyin looked at Gu Heng with a solemn expression.
The body of ten thousand sounds.
This word was really familiar to him.
At that time, it was the end of the chaotic war between the Five Realms. Daoist Wuyin was one of the hundreds of millions of weak beings who received the protection of the Sound Immortal during the chaos. He had grown up listening to stories of the Sound Immortal and carved out his own place in the chaotic world, becoming a hero of the chaotic era who founded Thousand Sound Valley.
The Soundless Daoist knew what the "Body of Ten Thousand Sounds" represented.
"Hey, old man, Miss Liu Yu is actually a disciple of your Thousand Sound Valley. It's just that Yu Quzi is such a scoundrel, allowing his son to slaughter those talented Thousand Sound Valley disciples. Isn't that just killing off the future of Thousand Sound Valley?"
Gu Heng then began to point and criticize Yu Quzi again.
The Daoist Wuyin frowned, glanced at Yu Quzi, and then released the latter from the restriction.
"Do you have any objections to what this young master has said?"
Yu Quzi had just regained her freedom to speak when she glared angrily at Gu Heng and began to rant.
"Nonsense! That woman has absolutely no talent!"
"It clearly exists!" Gu Heng also stood up and retorted.
"What do you know? You don't understand music, but I do! I say she doesn't have it, and that's final!"
Yu Quzi was furious and wanted to jump up and argue with Gu Heng.
"...Oh, so whoever understands music better has more say, right?"
Gu Heng suddenly stopped criticizing and then looked at the Silent Taoist.
The Silent Daoist's eye twitched, then he slowly said, "Those who cultivate music are indeed better able to discern who has musical talent and who doesn't than those who know nothing about music..."
This principle applies universally: only those who have practiced swordsmanship can discern whether someone else has the talent for it. Those who are not proficient in this art naturally lack the right to speak on it.
Yu Quzi had just revealed a smug smile.
Then he saw Gu Heng sit down cross-legged again and say to the Soundless Taoist, "I know more about music than him. Bring me a zither, and I'll play it for you."
