Master comes down the mountain, I don’t know martial arts, but I am an immortal

Lin Manqing calmly took out an ancient bone flute from her arms.

The bone flute feels warm to the touch, yet has a hint of coolness, as if it condenses the frost of time.

This was given to Li Muchen by Sangji's mother Dawa to express her gratitude when Li Muchen treated Sangji in front of the Bai family's doorstep in the capital.

Because it was something from the capital, Li Muchen did not take it away with him. He left it in the capital, and thus stayed with Lin Manqing.

Zeng Yizhi was stunned when he saw the bone flute, and said, "Could this bone flute be my sister-in-law's instrument?"

"That's right." Lin Manqing said with a smile.

Zeng Yizhi frowned slightly, because the bone flute is a very simple musical instrument. In ancient times, the study of phonetics was not yet mature, and the ancestors made flutes with bones and blew out sharp sounds to convey messages.

Some are used to tame animals, such as hunting dogs or falcons, which run far away when hunting and their owners can only control them with the sound of the flute.

Zeng Yizhi didn't think that Lin Manqing could produce any heavenly music through such a simple instrument, and he felt offended.

"Sister-in-law, you have to understand that we are now deciding the outcome by elegance. Are you sure you want to play this flute?"

"Brother Xi, do you think this is an ordinary flute?" Lin Manqing smiled calmly, "Mu Chen once told me that Brother Xi entered the Dao with the zither, and no one in the world can compare to him in terms of music. Although I also like to play the zither and the flute, I know it is extremely difficult to surpass Brother Xi, so I can only use this ancient instrument to play the original sound of heaven and earth."

"The original sound of heaven and earth?" Zeng Yizi suddenly became interested.

"Brother Xi, can't you see that this is a magical weapon?"

Of course Zeng Yizi saw it.

Scanning it with his divine sense, he found that the material of this bone flute was extremely special. It was not ordinary animal bones, but a strange bone that exuded a soft luster. Under the sunlight, he could see fine blood vessel-like lines inside, as if it was once a living creature, quietly flowing with mysterious power.

"I know it is a magic instrument. This is not against the rules. My piano is also a magic instrument," Zeng Yizi said.

Lin Manqing nodded: "Okay, then, I will show you my ugliness."

She placed the bone flute to her lips, took a deep breath, and as she opened her lips, a clear and loud sound flowed out of the bone flute. The sound was pure without a trace of impurities, like the first ray of sunlight penetrating the mist in the mountains in the morning, or like the purest gurgling stream in the mountain stream, ding-dong-dong, natural and simple.

From the perspective of music, the melody of the flute is extremely simple, without complicated key changes or fancy ornaments, but just a combination and repetition of a few simple notes.

However, it is this simplicity and purity that makes it full of a power of returning to nature, as if it has spanned a long period of time, and is showing the true appearance of the world when it was first created to everyone without reservation.

Under the influence of the flute sound, everyone felt that the scene in front of their eyes gradually became blurred. When it became clear again, they found themselves on a primitive island that was like a dream.

The west side of the island is an endless blue ocean. The waves gently hit the rocks on the shore, splashing crystal water and making pleasant sounds, echoing with the sound of the flute. On the island, the dense forest is lush and green, the towering trees block out the sun, and every leaf is shining with the luster of life. Various exotic flowers and plants grow wantonly, they are of different shapes and colors, exuding bursts of charming fragrance, interweaving into a gorgeous natural picture.

On the island, various animals roam freely. Cheetahs run and play in the grass, lions rest in the shade, monkeys jump and play between branches, and their calls add vitality to the island. In addition, there are many rare animals that are rarely seen on weekdays. They either eat grass docilely or look around curiously, living in harmony with other animals.

What is even more amazing is that humans, immortals and monsters also live on this island. Humans wear simple animal skins and hold simple tools to collect fruits and hunt for food in the mountains and forests. Their faces are filled with simple smiles and full of love for life. Immortals wear flowing immortal robes and emit soft light. They walk in the air or sit quietly by the stream, showing their extraordinary temperament in every gesture. The monsters have different shapes, some are hideous, some are naive, but now they have put away their former ferocity and get along with humans and immortals in a friendly manner.

In the center of the island, there was a wide lawn where a group of people were sitting together, holding a grand celebration. People were singing and dancing, and laughter echoed over the entire island. The immortals performed magic, adding a lot of fantasy to the celebration, and colorful lights flickered in the sky, like a dream. The monsters were not to be outdone, and they showed off their unique skills, which attracted cheers from the crowd.

Zeng Yizhi was deeply shocked by the scene before him. He thought that the dreamland he created with the sound of the piano was wonderful enough, but he did not expect that Lin Manqing could construct such a primitive world full of vitality and harmony with such a simple bone flute and the original sound of heaven and earth.

Looking at the happy scene before him, he could not help but admire Lin Manqing's flute skills even more, and he also understood the true meaning of what she said, "the original sound of heaven and earth."

This is not just a sound, but also the most authentic interpretation of life and nature.

The sound of the flute gradually stopped, and the beautiful island disappeared, leaving only this cold road in the sky.

"Senior Brother Xi, I'm done." Lin Manqing said to Zeng Yizi who was still in a daze.

Zeng Yizhi seemed to wake up from a dream, heaved a long sigh, and said: "Sister-in-law, I lost."

After saying this, he collapsed completely, as if playing and listening to the flute music just now had used up all his life's strength.

Lin Manqing said: "In fact, in terms of musicality, I am far inferior to you. I just borrowed the mystery of this bone flute itself."

Zeng Yizhi shook his head: "Sister-in-law, don't be so modest. If I'm not mistaken, this is the legendary exquisite bone flute, right?"

"Exquisite bone flute?" Lin Manqing was surprised. "I don't know its name either. Senior Brother Xi, do you know its origin?"

"It is recorded in the Tiandu Immortal Instruments Catalog that the Linglong Bone Flute is made from the ribs of the Linglong Witch and can produce the sounds of nature and primitive sounds. The empty island you saw when you led me into the realm with the sound of the flute just now must be Linglong Island. As expected, humans, gods, demons, and beasts are in harmony and all things are one. This is what the world should be like!"

"If it weren't for my sister-in-law's high level of comprehension and transcendent realm, unless she had the blood of a celestial witch and an exquisite body, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to play the exquisite and mysterious original sound of heaven and earth with just a bone flute like this."

Having said that, Zeng Yizi suddenly grabbed the strings with both hands.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Six consecutive sounds of breaking strings.

"Senior Brother, what are you doing?" Lin Manqing asked in surprise.

"After listening to your song of the first sound of heaven and earth, I finally understood the true way of music. Too many strings are useless, just one is enough!"

After saying that, Zeng Yizi picked up the piano, stood up, and turned around.

"Sister-in-law, this road is difficult to travel. Although you have passed this test, the road ahead is not smooth. You have to be careful..."

As the voice faded away, his tall and elegant figure, along with his flowing long hair, disappeared into the void above the Heavenly Road.
