Transcending Heavens: Starting with the Ancient Tomb Sect

Chapter 147 Watching Flowers and Listening to the Tide

"A round autumn shadow turns into golden waves. The flying mirror is polished anew. I raise my cup to ask Chang'e, 'How can I bear this cruel fate of white hair?'"

Riding the wind, soaring across the vast sky, I gaze down upon the mountains and rivers. I cut down the swaying cassia tree. People say, then the clear light will shine even brighter.

Quoting a poem by Jiaxuan (a famous Chinese poet) here is both appropriate and inappropriate.

This was originally written by Xin Qiji on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, but its placement here feels utterly absurd.

Since no one could gather enough parents together, Yelü Yan was collectively suppressed after she recited the poem.

After thinking about it carefully, Yelü Yan also realized what was going on.

Even though she still has an older brother, Yelü Qi, she is essentially an orphan.

After discovering this, Yelü Yan felt that it was because of her fourth senior sister, Wanyan Ping. If it weren't for the struggle with her, which caused Wanyan Ping to finish studying Su Shi's poems in a short time, she would have chosen Xin Qiji, who was equally bold and unparalleled.

I did this in a moment of confusion, and by the time I realized what had happened, I was caught off guard.

"snort!"

"I'll remember you!"

Yelü Yan glanced at Wanyan Ping, and now she felt that this fourth senior sister was very scheming.

Then Yelü Yan approached her third senior sister, Gongsun Lü'e, and while watching her write and draw, she turned her gaze to the fallen flower beach along with everyone else.

Apricot blossoms fall on the flower-covered beach.

Upon entering this place, one sees apricot blossoms falling in the wind, and the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms, diluted by the dampness of the tide.

Even so, the apricot blossom scent is still quite strong.

This made Xiaolongnu wrinkle her nose subconsciously; she didn't like the smell.

Meanwhile, Li Mochou, the Red Serpent Fairy, wandered around, looking east and west, beginning to survey her surroundings. After observing for a while, Li Mochou felt that, in a sense, this was a good battlefield.

The name and location are very suitable for Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic.

The only pity is not the peach blossoms.

After making some arrangements, everyone decided to stay there for the time being and wait for the arrival of Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic.

After all, Yue Que and his group had specifically left information for them, and it's likely that Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic, would also obtain intelligence from the Quanzhen Sect and the Beggar Clan disciples.

the next day.

It was midday.

Playing the zither, the flute, and the pipe.

Yue Que, Xiaolongnu, and Chilian Fairy each adjusted the melody, seemingly reintegrating it into a new tune.

On the dark beach, Hong Lingbo and Lu Wushuang, the two sisters, were practicing swordplay.

Yelü Yan and Wanyan Ping even began cultivating face-to-face, engaging in a fierce competition.

Gongsun Lü'e, on the other hand, felt much more relaxed after finishing her cultivation. She even thought about using the golden bell and silver rope to join in and keep the rhythm.

Just then.

A deep and melodious sound of a xiao (a type of Chinese flute) suddenly broke in.

The tone was melodious and swirling, like waves crashing one after another towards the crowd.

The sound of the flute was infused with internal energy, as if the speaker intended to use a single melody to wipe out everyone in the ancient tomb.

"!"

Yue Que was taken aback, and then stopped playing the flute, his own tune already drowned out.

The person looked sharply in the direction of the flute sound and saw a person in green standing on the top of the osmanthus tree, standing sideways with a jade flute held upright in front of his mouth.

This music was played by the person who came.

"The Song of the Rising Tide on the Azure Sea!"

Yue Que felt the internal force mixed in with the flute music constantly impacting him, and he knew who the newcomer was: "Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic!"

59

"You all step back, sit cross-legged, and use your internal energy to resist!"

Upon seeing this, Fairy Chilian immediately instructed the five children. She had not expected that Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic, would resort to such a dangerous internal force to resist her right from the start.

Upon hearing this, the five women immediately took action, each ceasing their previous actions, sitting cross-legged, and circulating their inner energy to resist the Azure Tide Melody.

Should you do it or should I?

Yue Que cast an inquiring glance at Xiaolongnu, only to see the guqin on Xiaolongnu's lap toss and tumble, and her senior master Li Mochou gracefully landed beside her, sitting cross-legged next to Xiaolongnu as well.

The guqin fell to the ground as it flipped, landing on the laps of the two female disciples.

With a gentle touch of her jade-like hands, all four hands were placed on the guqin at the same time.

The strings resonated, and the zither played.

A piece of music that Yue Que had never heard before was played by Li Mochou and Xiaolongnu, the two sisters.

As the internal energy fluctuated with the sound of the zither, it surged directly towards the sound of the flute.

"???"

Yue Que stared blankly at the scene. He had just thought that he was going to play the zither together, but he didn't expect it to be his senior master, Li Mochou.

You and your fellow disciples are the flawed beings of the Ancient Tomb?

After thinking about it, Yue Que realized that it didn't seem like there was anything wrong with this title being given to these two fellow disciples.

What a pair of sisters, their love broken and their affections diminished.

What a fine tradition of ancient tombs keeping something in reserve!

Even now, Yue Que is still able to see new tricks up his sleeve from the ancient tomb.

How much did the patriarch Lin Chaoying actually leave behind?

Regarding her nephew Yue Que's doubts, Fairy Chi Lian would not say that before leaving the Ancient Tomb, her junior sister Xiao Longnv was almost entirely taken care of by her, her senior sister.

It can be said that Xiaolongnu's martial arts enlightenment was actually initiated by her senior sister Li Mochou, including a lot of miscellaneous music.

This is why Li Mochou was much better than Xiaolongnu at teaching disciples with mediocre talent—she truly had experience raising children.

It was precisely because of this experience that Li Mochou felt very awkward about her feelings for her junior sister, Xiaolongnu, because of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.

It's worth noting that when Li Mochou left, her junior sister Xiaolongnu was only seven years old, and the eldest disciple Hong Lingbo, whom she later saved, was also seven years old.

Hong Lingbo could be seen as a kind of inferior substitute for her junior sister.

After taking Lu Wushuang under her wing, it was Hong Lingbo, the senior sister, who took on the role of junior sister.

This has always been a tradition of the Ancient Tomb School.

In a sense, the same applies to the senior brother Yue Que as his junior brother Yang Guo.

The reason why the Red Serpent Fairy was extremely angry when she returned to the Ancient Tomb and saw the situation was because her junior sister broke the rules. However, the subsequent development was that she, as the senior sister, also broke the rules under passive circumstances.

Everyone was the same, leaving Li Mochou speechless.

Because of her nephew Yue Que, the Red Serpent Fairy would not have the same mindset as Gongsun Zhi when he killed his daughter Gongsun Lü'e in the Valley of Heartbreak as she did in the original story, and would directly kill her disciple Hong Lingbo.

The qin and xiao play together, yet it is also a clash between the two instruments.

It is a clash of sonic powers.

One is the "Azure Sea Tide Melody" by Huang Yaoshi, one of the Five Greats of the World, and the other is a zither piece from the Ancient Tomb, passed down from the ancestral master Lin Chaoying.

Rumble!

Visible to the naked eye, the sound waves, driven by internal force, pulverized the falling osmanthus blossoms, turning them into a sea of ​​floral mist.

"!!!"

Standing atop the osmanthus tree, Huang Yaoshi felt a sudden ripple beneath his feet, and was utterly astonished.

He originally thought that the people in this ancient tomb were all young people, and their skills were inferior to those of the Five Greats. Under normal circumstances, the easiest way would be to forcefully suppress them with internal force and use the sonic power "Azure Sea Tide Song" to capture them all at once.

But to everyone's surprise, the outcome of this collision was completely unexpected.

Leaving aside the renowned Red Serpent Fairy Li Mochou, the Jade Maiden Little Dragon Girl's skill level also exceeded expectations.

Not to mention Yue Que, the golden boy who stood in the middle listening to the "Azure Sea Tide Song" and the zither music as if he were listening to a piece of music.

Wang Chongyang of the Grooves!

And Lin Chaoying too!

The thought of the origins of the Ancient Tomb Sect reignited Huang Yaoshi's anger. He hadn't expected that the legacy left behind by those two early-dead individuals would cause endless trouble.

As for the three little girls behind them—why are there five?

When Huang Yaoshi thought of the orphan's grave that his beloved daughter Huang Rong had mentioned, he felt a sharp pain in his brow.

Is this a further expansion in scale?

Previously, Huang Rong had mentioned only six, but now there are two more.

Just as Huang Yaoshi was about to unleash his full power in a fit of rage, he saw the golden boy standing in the middle listening to the music make a move.

He kicked the sword pouch that was standing upright on the bluestone, and the pouch burst open, releasing two swords that flew into the air with a whistling sound.

With each step and leap, Yue Que stepped over the flowers that were being stirred up by the sound waves and flew everywhere, and obtained his twin swords.

One sword in front, one sword behind.

He launched a powerful attack in mid-air, a white rainbow piercing the sun, aimed directly at Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic.

Huang Yaoshi dodged the stab by turning to the side.

With a flash of sword light, the Jade Maiden's Pure Heart Sword Technique was unleashed.

"!!!"

Even though he was mentally prepared, Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic, couldn't help but curse inwardly when he saw this scene with his own eyes.

"What a shameless brat!"

The voice was as sharp as metal, and Huang Yaoshi didn't even consider using his lightness skill to dodge it. He was well aware of the unparalleled lightness skill of the Ancient Tomb Sect. As he stopped the Azure Sea Tide Melody, he used his jade flute as a sword and unleashed the Jade Flute Sword Technique in response to the attack.

The sword technique is elegant and focuses on attacking Yue Que's acupoints, combining both style and practicality.

This is the flamboyant style of Peach Blossom Island versus the flamboyant style of the Ancient Tomb Sect.

Ding!Ding!Ding!

In just two moves of clashing between the flute and the sword, Huang Yaoshi discovered that the weapon in Jin Tong's hand was a rare and powerful divine weapon, and the jade flute in his hand had already been scratched.

In a moment of distress and anger, Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic, changed his tactics again.

The Falling Petal Divine Sword Palm, aided by the constantly falling osmanthus blossoms, was truly a move that shifted between reality and illusion, with palm shadows like a flurry of falling petals, striking directly at Yue Que's vital points.

For a moment, it was impossible to tell whether it was a sword, a palm, or a flower.

However, when faced with this move, Yue Que still used one sword against the enemy, while carrying the other sword on his back, only now the power of the dragon and elephant was added to his sword moves.

"!!!"

How could this be?

As Huang Yaoshi received the attack, he felt the force on the opponent's sword suddenly change from extremely light to extremely heavy. Caught off guard and unable to dissipate the force, he broke the tree branch and fell straight onto the flower beach.

With a seemingly effortless yet powerful strike, Yue Que knocked Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic, off the osmanthus tree with a single sword stroke.

Below, the sound of the piano continues.

The unique sonic power of the ancient tomb continues.

The moment Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic, fell from the sky, Xiaolongnu handed the guqin to her senior sister. In a flash, she also drew her own twin swords, flew out with the swords, and attacked Huang Yaoshi.

Senior Sister Li Mochou might still uphold martial ethics, but Xiaolongnu never had that thought.

In an instant.

Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic, had just landed when he witnessed a scene that made him want to curse again.

Zhou Botong in the trench!

In Huang Yaoshi's eyes, he saw the Golden Boy and Jade Girl simultaneously using the Ambidextrous Technique, wielding two swords and employing the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Swordplay to attack him.

The Quanzhen Sect is a complete traitor!

They had barely met, and before the song was even finished, Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic, felt he needed to risk his life.
