Chapter 135 Plum Blossom 3
"May I ask your name, sir? I'm honored to have met you today and witnessed your incredible talent with my own eyes. You have helped me ascend to the fifth rank in my cultivation. I will always remember your kindness. It's hard to express my gratitude in words. I can only shed tears of gratitude. If you need me in the future, I will go through fire and water to help you!"
Gu Yunzhou smiled modestly and waved his hand gently, "Master Fusu, you are too kind. I, Gu Yunzhou, am just an insignificant person. It was by chance that I got this music score. Today, with the help of Master Fusu, this lost gem can shine again. It is truly a destiny. As for this song, it is called "Three Variations on Plum Blossoms". I hope that with the help of Master Fusu, it can be spread to the world and let more people listen to its charm." After saying this, he was calm and composed. As for whether others believed it or not, he naturally had no intention of delving into it.
Upon hearing this, Master Fusu's eyes flashed with admiration. He once again gazed at the sheet of paper bearing the music score on the table, as if he could glimpse the proud and unyielding spirit of the plum blossom from it. He couldn't help but sigh in admiration, "'Three Variations on the Plum Blossom' truly lives up to its name. The true meaning of the music leaps off the paper!"
"The surprise that Brother Yunzhou gave me today is truly enormous. It's beyond my expectations. I'm away from home right now, and I don't really have anything good to show off."
Under the envious gazes of everyone in Fusu, Wu Ziyu carefully put away the piece of paper with the music score written on it, then took out a brocade box with fine carvings and a warm luster from the Wen Palace and put the music score in it. After doing all this, he fumbled out a jade pendant carved with gurgling river water and exuding a faint spiritual charm from the Wen Palace and handed it to Brother Yunzhou.
"This is the key to the Yangjiang Mystery Realm. Brother Yunzhou, as long as your cultivation reaches the sixth level, you can enter this place. This is the only thing I can barely exchange with you now. If you have the opportunity to visit Min Country in the future, I will take you on a good tour!"
The other people didn't react much to Wu Ziyu taking the music score away. At most, they sighed a little at this guy's good luck. No one expected that Gu Yunzhou would make such a big move. If they had known earlier, they would have lowered their faces and pleaded with him. But when they saw the jade token he took out from Wen Palace afterwards, they opened their eyes wide in surprise.
"Of course, Ziyu, I didn't expect you to have such a good thing. This is the Yangjiang Secret Realm, known as the Mobile Treasure House. It is said that those who are extremely lucky can encounter Wenyun Fish in this secret realm. It is a peerless cultural treasure that can directly nourish the literary heart and generate literary charm. Its value is immeasurable! Shan Ze was surprised. He said this intentionally for Gu Yunzhou to hear, for fear that he would misunderstand Ziyu's sincerity and mistakenly think that Wu Ziyu was just giving him something to get rid of him. That's why he said this.
Indeed, I've heard the elders of my family mention that the tokens of the Yangjiang Secret Realm are a gift from heaven, appearing only once every ten years. Only a hundred keys appear randomly each time, and the door to the secret realm opens once every ten years, holding a truly coveted opportunity. Calculating carefully, the next secret realm opening is only a little over three years away. "Yunzhou, your exchange is truly wise and admirable!" Zhuang Xian finished his words, a look of envy crossing his face. He couldn't tell if it was envy for Wu Ziyu's possession of the music score, or envy for the jade pendant in Gu Yunzhou's hand.
"Yes, there is also a brother in my family. He was one of the lucky ones in the past. He got this token by chance and went deep into the maze. After returning, his cultivation level increased greatly and he benefited a lot. In a short period of time, he made a qualitative leap and became one of the most powerful people of their generation at that time!" Jiang Liunian also sighed, thinking of his brother who caused quite a stir in the clan back then.
Seeing the others doing the same, Gu Yunzhou naturally knew the preciousness of the jade pendant in his hand. He was open-minded and unpretentious. He immediately clasped his fists and laughed heartily at Wu Ziyu, saying, "Haha, thank you so much, Brother Wu, for your generous gift. Today's barter has made for a very enjoyable occasion for both the host and the guest!"
At this point, Lady Fusu gently opened her red lips and offered to leave. She had just achieved a breakthrough and was continuing her retreat to consolidate her cultivation. Everyone understood and made no attempt to persuade her to stay. Also departing with her was the ever-smiling Shopkeeper Feng.
"The situation at the border is becoming increasingly complicated. Recently, I've received shocking news: the demon tribe seems to be colluding with the barbarians to commit evil." The others continued to sit and chat. Shan Ze took a sip of tea from his cup, a solemn look in his eyes as he spoke slowly.
"Those cunning demons are used to hiding in the shadows and stirring up trouble. Once the slightest sign of trouble comes, they flee faster than rabbits. It's a shame that the barbarians are so foolish. They've been tricked so many times by the demons, yet they're still stubborn and refuse to learn. They only remember the good and not the bad. Weren't we all saying the current barbarian king is quite clever? How did he get involved with the demons again?"
Wu Ziyu slammed his hand on the table, his tone filled with indignation and confusion. If it were just a challenge from a single race, the human race would naturally be fearless. But once these two races joined forces, the pressure would be as heavy as a mountain, making it difficult to breathe.
The day before yesterday, the demon captive we captured during our mission revealed that their demon king had issued a strict order to rapidly gather elite troops from all tribes at the border. This move undoubtedly foreshadows the looming threat of war, which is unavoidable.
Jiang Liunian's face was solemn, his worry evident in his words. He knew that if the war between humans, demons, and spirits broke out again, it would be another catastrophe, countless lives would be ravaged by the flames of war, and the warriors of the human race would face life and death trials, countless more would shed their blood on the battlefield, their souls never to return.
"Let's fight!" Zhuang Xian clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with determination. "The Semi-Saints of our human race are no pushovers. How can we allow the demons to trample upon us at will? If they dare to intrude again, we will make them remember this painful lesson! Could it be that those demons have forgotten how the last Demon King died?"
Zhuang Xian's face was filled with murderous intent, eager to join the battle and engage in a good fight. Gu Yunzhou, on the other hand, leisurely sipped his tea, seemingly calm, yet inside, he was absorbing this information like a sponge. As expected, he still had to make friends with these young masters from aristocratic families. This information was unknown to him, let alone Master Jia. For these young masters, backed by powerful families, this was just after-dinner gossip, and they could easily pick up firsthand intelligence.
"The demon barbarians have secretly sent spies to sneak into the border of our human race, intending to spy on our strength. The border guards will have a mission announced to the entire border by tomorrow at the latest. I have made up my mind and want to organize a capable team to have a good fight with those demon barbarians. Brothers, are you willing to fight with me?" Shan Ze put down the teacup lightly, glanced at everyone in the room, and waited for a response.
