The Flute Groaning From Mount Han.
Chapter 5.
After walking out of the hill town of Sinji, Zhaolong looked back to see the once bustling city had now become a dead city.
Even Zhaolong himself was unsure when he could return here after deciding to enter the cultivation world.
"The city of the beloved without the presence of the beloved, is the loneliest place.".
By circulating the qi covering the soles of his feet up to his knees, Zhaolong dashed very quickly towards the immortal bamboo sect.
Along with the basic breathing technique of the water branch, the consumption of Zhaolong pure qi was only small and it was continuously refilled every time Zhaolong took a breath.
This is the advantage of practicing pure qi control to the point of being proficient, just as breathing has become a habit of the body.
Under the baptism of pure qi energy the Zhaolong skin was now pure white and had transparent dew coming from pure qi that came out from the pore pore hole, enveloped the entire body of Zhaolong until it looked like an immortal when the sunlight hit his body.
Zhaolong ran for 2 days tirelessly, occasionally Zhaolong would stop at the tavern to eat and ask for directions.
Every time Zhaolong passed by the residents whether it was in the village or the city, either mortal humans or cultivators would be stunned for a moment to see the appearance of Zhaolong.
A face that seemed indifferent but a trace of sadness was clearly engraved on his handsome face, the eyes of an eagle that should be sharp staring blankly along the way.
His long black hair decomposed backwards in the wind until it looked wavy.
The black robe with white dove embroidery adds to the majestic masculine image of Zhaolong.
Not to mention the dark red long sword sheath that had a carving of black roses, making it appear to have a gentle yet cruel temperament.
Roses are fragrant, beautiful to look at but don't try to touch them or you'll bleed.
The black flute hanging on the left side of Zhaolong's waist made everyone who looked at him convinced that the man they had caught a glimpse of was a romantic figure.
Not to mention the water mist that enveloped his body, Zhaolong seemed to glow like immortal gods who descended to earth.
After running for a considerable distance, Zhaolong began to see the disciples of the immortal bamboo sect disciples in every village he passed by.
Not far from where he was, Zhaolong saw a mountain range that seemed to be piled with hundreds of hills surrounding him.
Zhaolong was standing on the stone stairs leading to the gate of the immortal bamboo sect, hundreds of immortal bamboo sect disciples were talking to each other and joking as they climbed up and down the steps of the sect.
After arriving at the doorstep of such a wide sect, Zhaolong began to ask a random sect disciple where to register to join the sect.
The student happily directed Zhaolong to an old-fashioned three-story building, on the left and right sides of the building, which was decorated by towering bamboo plants.
Zhaolong entered the building and found a middle-aged man in a dark blue dress who had embroidered a blackish-green bamboo stem.
The middle-aged man looked to be lecturing 3 girls who bowed their heads in front of him.
"Once, twice I can be tolerant towards the three of you.
But even though the three of you have the status of an inner disciple, it does not mean that you always make a troublemaker when carrying out missions outside!.
Do the three of you wish that this old man would die sooner!? You know I am the gatekeeper elder and your matters outside are my business, you don't know how many times I have been reprimanded by the sect master just because of the mischief of the three of you little girls!.".
The three girls who looked to be in their 20s bowed their faces in shame.
"Pardon us Elder Gui, we won't repeat it again.".
Hearing the three girls apologize made the Gui elder who was about to return scold them into silence.
These three girls were inner sect disciples, not only did his talent fall into the genius category.
But the identity of the three is the princess of a different royal kingdom, raised by being loved and spoiled making the three girls a hobby to cause problems.
Of course elder Gui was always dizzy when these three girls would go on missions outside the sect, they would definitely go home bringing trouble and he would have to solve their problems every time they returned.
But who made these three girls have such frightening talents with such a special background? Making him an elder incapable of offending, incapable of offending at all.
Therefore elder Gui could only scold them to vent his anger, while the punishment he could give the three was nothing more than punishment for not leaving the sect for several months.
If elder Gui were to impose a heavier punishment, the old monsters of each kingdom would surely run amok and come to him and play chess day and night until they ran out of energy.
Because of the upbringing of old monsters who love and spoil their grandchildren, their grandchildren have a hobby of troublemaking.
Even the kings or children of the old monsters did not dare to scold their daughters loudly, for fear that tomorrow there would be news of the king currently being disciplined by the previous king!.
Elder Gui who came out from the daydream saw a young man standing still looking at him from the entrance.
"Son, if you come to report on the matter of the disciples who are completing the task outside then return tomorrow.
Today I'm trying to calm myself down so I don't die too soon.".
Hearing the words of the old man before him, Zhaolong remained calm with no change in expression on his face.
"Sorry older, junior is here to join the immortal bamboo sect.".
The Gui elder who heard Zhaolong's reply tried to observe Zhaolong, before finally realizing that Zhaolong was not wearing the clothes of the disciples of the immortal bamboo sect.
"Bone age is less than 19 years, but has reached the stage of the development of the last level of qi.
Notably, a genius was increasing again within this sect haha ha.
I just hope you don't have a hobby of causing trouble, come here son and settle the registration rules.".
Hearing that the previously angry elder Gui suddenly burst into laughter, the three girls started twisting their necks to glance at the young man who seemed like he was going to be their junior.
When the three of them looked at Zhaolong, the three of them were instantly stunned.
The young man they noticed had eagle eyes with a blank look, the look on his face was calm yet the sadness engraved on his face was so noticeable.
"Good elder.".
Zhaolong walked towards the Gui elder who was sitting down enjoying a cup of tea with a happy smile on his face like someone who had won a numbered lottery prize.
Ignoring the expression of the beautiful girl who was looking at him with wide eyes and an open mouth formed a letter 'o' in her third small mouth.
"Then write your name, address, date of birth, gender, meridian type.".
After receiving the piece of paper that elder Gui had given him, Zhaolong calmly dipped a pen made of goose feather into the ink jar.
When Zhaolong was writing his name, the Gui elder who read Zhaolong's name immediately sprayed the tea he was drinking.
"Well, son are you kidding me!? How did you become Zhaolong?.".
Not only were the three girls shocked to hear the elder Gui's cry, even Zhaolong himself was shocked and dazed.
'Who am I?.'.
'Where am I?.'.
'Why can't I be Zhaolong?.'.
As a human being who had lost a few screws in his brain, Zhaolong's mind was now filled with question marks.
"Sorry elder, my name is indeed Zhao long. Why can't I be Zhaolong?.".
Seeing Zhaolong's reply with a puzzled face, elder Gui began to trace his memories.
"Are you Zhaolong from the hill town of Sinji, which has now become a dead city?.".
"Yes the elder, how do you know?.".
"Are you Zhaolong who a year ago was just a mortal man?.".
"You're right, elder.".
"If you so quickly mention Zhaolong's most famous words, if you can't answer them then you are a fake Zhaolong!.".
Hearing the old man's question in front of him, Zhaolong grew even more confused.
Zhaolong thought the one who wanted to destroy the world like himself was a man who lost a screw in his head.
It seemed that the old man in front of him also had a few screws detached from his brain, was this the age factor? So the bolt hole becomes loose.
"The world without you feels like hell, my wife.".
Hearing the elder Gui's words with a serious face made Zhaolong's face darken.
'Old man, are you kidding me! I just want to register to become an immortal bamboo sect disciple, why are you talking such a twisted nonsense!.'.
After cursing the Gui elder inwardly, Zhaolong took a deep breath and regained his composure.
However, when Zhaolong heard the words that elder Gui said.
Zhaolong's eyes widened in disbelief, it seems like he is no stranger to this sentence?!.
Wasn't this the sentence he uttered in front of Mitha's tomb, when the rain hid the tears that ran down her cheeks.
"The world without you, feels like hell. Mitha.".
Zhaolong recalled the moment of Mitha's departure, when saying that sentence back his face looked so painful.
His eyes radiated a beam of pain that could not be contained.
The Gui elder and the three girls looked at Zhaolong with wide-eyed and disbelief.
Zhaolong's expression was not something that could be imitated, it was an expression when a man lost the woman they loved for so long.
"I-this, the real Zhaolong?!!!.".
The ponytailed girl sitting in the middle of her two girlfriends immediately shouted in disbelief like elder Gui.
Elder Gui was a man over five hundred years old, very few things could surprise him but this time he was really surprised.
A year ago after the group of sect disciples led by Hong Yan returned from completing an emergency mission outside the sect.
After a few days the male disciples started talking with rocks, trees, bamboo stalks even the sky.
And the most frequently spoken sentences are all the same!
Yeah, that's the phrase 'The world without you feels like hell.'.
It was just that his sect disciples who were pretending to be romantic had a silly look, they spoke with expressions in sorrowful sorrow to the bamboo stalks he had planted in a gatekeeper pavilion.
Elder Gui who had been hearing those words for days with an idiotic look his sect disciples would inevitably beat their heads one by one.
Being bored, of course just bored elder Gui is unlikely to be curious eughuk.
Alright, out of curiosity and wanting to know what possessed his sect disciple.
Elder Gui gave orders to his subordinates to investigate the matter, after some time finally the root cause of all the problems was revealed.
After Hong Yan's entourage returned, Mei Xin told what she saw of a young man who attracted her interest to some of her female friends in the inner sect.
Eventually all the inner disciples knew the story, the girls would dream of having a man who would give up everything for them.
While the men will learn to pretend romantic to be the dream of the girls.
The story began to spread throughout the outer disciples even to the core disciples.
Finally all the creatures in the immortal bamboo sect knew the tragic story about Zhaolong, even the sect's pet dogs knew about it.
If dogs could talk, they would tell Zhaolong's story.
In the world of cultivation where everyone always practiced tired and boring.
They desperately need entertainment to relax once in a while, but what is possible for this world is a world with undeveloped technology.
The entertainment that cultivators could find was nothing more than wine, brothels, or gambling.
So when there is a rumor or an interesting story it will soon spread.
The immortal sect disciples even knew that uncle Wang's 40-year-old wife was caught chewing young grass that was still a dozen years old.
They don't know who Uncle Wang is! They had never even met Uncle Wang let alone his wife!.
But they know the rumors are widespread in the community.
"Nanggong Yue, quickly call Huang Yan here.".
Upon hearing the elder Gui's orders, one of the girls named Nanggong yue immediately stood up.
"Okay, elder.".
Immediately the girl's body flashed like a shadow, leaving behind her four.
'Quick body movement technique!.'.
Zhaolong had previously tried to make a body movement technique but he had reached a dead end from not understanding the basic principle behind the body movement technique.
As a result, Zhaolong can only manipulate pure qi on the soles of the feet to the knees of his feet, although he is able to accelerate body movements when running or moving.
His movements were still unable to rival the original body movements, having joined the Eternal Bamboo sect.
The first thing he would learn was the body movement technique, Zhaolong would try to understand the principle behind it.
As someone who has lived in the 21st century and has watched many anime and fantasy films.
Creating a body movement should not be too difficult because he has a benchmark from the memory of his previous life, which he now needs is his basic principle.
