This monk is a bit mean

Chapter 55: The Story Behind the Guqin

Except for Yunshu, no one at the foot of Lotus Peak cared about the four maids.

Even after Yun Shu caught up with Lin Ruonan and told her that the four maids had disappeared out of thin air.

Lin Ruonan ignored him and told Yunshu coldly that if the maids didn't want to climb the mountain, let them wait at the foot of the mountain.

Yunshu checked the carriage again and found that the four girls had disappeared without a trace.

Seeing that everyone else had already started to go up the mountain, Yunshu had no choice but to give up the search.

Business is more important. Maybe the four girls are playing a trick on him on purpose.

Let’s go up the mountain first.

He followed behind Jin'an Wang and his group.

Prince Jin'an only brought Eunuch Cao and a dozen guards with him.

Yunshu could see that these guards were all top-notch masters.

Even though he and Andy Lau teamed up, they couldn't gain much advantage among this group of people, and there were three of them whose strengths he couldn't figure out at all.

The road up the mountain was winding and they did not reach the top of the mountain until sunset.

The top of the mountain is not pitch black. There is a small lawn about five or six meters wide.

A huge black rock lies in the middle of the lawn, and above the black rock lies a rectangular block surrounded by a colorful halo.

Yun Shu looked carefully and saw that the rectangular shape was actually a black and grey guqin, with four rays of light circling around it: red, blue, purple and green.

"Is this the Fuyao guqin?" Yun Shu turned and asked Lin Nanzhi.

Lin Nanzhi didn't say anything, but just looked at the guqin quietly. No one knew what he was thinking.

Prince Jin'an also lowered his head in thought, without saying a word.

After a moment, he waved his hand and ordered, "Two people go up and bring the magic harp to me."

The two guards behind King Jin'an took the order and stepped forward.

"Wait!" The silent Lin Nanzhi suddenly shouted.

Then he turned around and said to King Jin'an in a calm tone: "Your Majesty, I advise you to be patient!"

"You don't need to teach me how to do things!"

"Go!" King Jin'an ordered the two people who had stopped.

The two guards strode forward.

Just when the two men were about ten feet away from the black boulder, something unexpected happened.

Two purple lightning bolts as thick as bowls suddenly burst out from under the feet of the two guards and instantly pierced through their bodies.

The two poor guards didn't even have time to let out a scream before they were burned into black ashes by the purple lightning.

King Jin'an's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Lin Nanzhi in astonishment.

"Your Highness, there is an extremely powerful lightning array surrounding this ancient zither." Lin Nanzhi explained.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" King Jin'an was furious as he lost two of his men at the very beginning.

"The prince didn't give me a chance to speak." Lin Nanzhi said slowly.

King Jin'an snorted coldly and stopped talking. He knew that Lin Nanzhi must have a way to break the formation.

Just listen attentively.

"Your Highness, you guessed correctly. I do have a way to break the formation, and the method is in this young master." Lin Nanzhi pointed at Yunshu and explained to everyone.

"Me?" Yun Shu was confused.

"That's right!" Lin Nanzhi nodded affirmatively.

Then he slowly explained: "Little Master, you only need to set up a platform here that you used to deal with lightning magic before, and you can break the lightning attack here."

"..." Yunshu was speechless. The Ximen arena that he and Li Mao had set up was also discovered by Lin Nanzhi, the sixth man.

This old guy is really omnipresent and knows everything.

"There's nothing wrong with the arrangement, but I can't guarantee the effect, and there are no materials here?" Yun Shu spread his hands, indicating that he was helpless.

"We have the materials and craftsmen. You just need to tell them how to do it." Lin Nanzhi clapped his hands twice.

Torches suddenly lit up on the right side of the lawn, and a dozen craftsmen stood there in neat rows, with bundles of iron bars behind them.

"Fuck! Lord Lin, you are really invincible!" Yun Shu gave Lin Nanzhi a thumbs up and nodded continuously.

He was completely convinced.

Then Yunshu walked up to Li Mao and said, "Junior brother, I need your help."

"This is a rare opportunity to show off in front of your father-in-law." Yun Shu looked at Lin Ruonan beside Li Mao and said deliberately.

Li Mao glanced at Lin Ruonan. How could he miss this rare opportunity to show off?

He pushed Yunshu towards the craftsmen and said loudly as he walked, "I'm good at this, brother, let's work together."

Yun Shusheng stopped walking, turned around and smiled at Li Mao, "No hurry."

Li Mao looked at Yun Shu with confusion.

"Before setting up the lightning protection array, I would like Lord Lin to tell me the story of this guqin." Yun Shu called the method of drawing lightning into the ground a lightning protection array.

Lin Nanzhi looked at King Jin'an and said, "Your Majesty, can you tell me?"

"Hmph!" Jin'an King Li Tianyang snorted coldly and ignored him.

Lin Nanzhi sighed and said, "Then I will tell you the story of the guqin."

"A long time ago, there was a music studio in Chang'an. One day, the old musician took in a young man who had fled to Chang'an to avoid the war. The young man was called Ah Shan. He came from the far west and had a pair of deep green eyes."

"After Ah Shan had been in the music hall for a while, the old musician discovered that this young man was extremely talented in music, so he taught him all his music skills during his lifetime."

"After the old zither player passed away, Ah Shan became the most famous zither player in the entire Chang'an city."

"At that time, a wealthy businessman in Chang'an City had a beautiful daughter named Fuyao."

"One day, Fuyao saw Ah Shan playing the zither in a music hall in Chang'an City. She fell deeply in love with this blue-eyed young zither player."

"In order to see Ah Shan every day, Fuyao asked Ah Shan to be her teacher, and from then on she went to the music studio to learn the piano every day."

"Ashan was also very happy to accept this beautiful girl who loves to play the piano."

"But the real purpose of Fuyao learning the piano is just to stay by Ah Shan's side."

"Fuyao was not serious about learning the piano, which made Ah Shan start to scold her constantly."

"Finally one day, Ah Shan could no longer tolerate Fu Yao's perfunctory attitude. He drove Fu Yao out of the music hall and angrily said to the girl, "You are not suitable for playing the piano. You will never be able to play a beautiful song in your life!"

"Fuyao was unwilling to accept the defeat. After returning home, she vowed to learn the most beautiful song within a year and play it for Ah Shan."

"During this year, Fuyao left Chang'an City and visited famous zither masters all over the world to learn from them."

"A year later, Fuyao returned from her studies and brought the music she composed to the music studio where Ah Shan taught piano."

"But the place is already deserted."

"The war in the northwest is intense, and Ah Shan has also been conscripted by the garrison army to fight. It is unknown when he will return."

"And Miss Fuyao has already fallen in love with Ah Shan. She is determined to wait for Ah Shan to return from the battlefield."

"This wait lasted seven years!"

"During this period, the son of the Lord of Chang'an fell in love with Fuyao, but he knew very well who this girl who played the piano at the west gate every day had in her heart."

"So, the city lord's son ordered someone to bring back a body that was unrecognizable beyond recognition from the northwest battlefield."

"The corpse had blue eyes."

"The city lord's son told Fuyao that the body was Ah Shan, and he had died on the battlefield."

"Fuyao lay on Ah Shan's body and cried for three days and three nights. Three days later, she came to the Lotus Lake west of Chang'an City and jumped into the lake to commit suicide."
