Old Xu looked at Mi Bai, realizing that the same spark was shining in his eyes as well!
Although the master is gone, his works will certainly remain and be celebrated throughout history.
If Tang Luo could understand that master so well, the tradition mustve been passed on to the Tang Clan.
Thinking of the thousands of unheard poems, Old Xu eagerly asked, Do you have the original manuscripts at home? Lets take a look!
Tang Luo tilted his head, quite puzzled, Original manuscript? What original manuscript?
The original manuscript of the other poems!
Theres no manuscript.
Then did you copy this masters anthology?
No anthology.
How many of this masters poems do you remember then?
Just this one. Tang Luo replied flatly.
Over a thousand fresh poems disappeared just like that, it felt like he woke up one day to find himself bankrupt.
Old Xu pointed at Tang Luo, his angry finger trembling, You., you you Upon hearing that the only poem left by this master in the world was this Looking at the mountain, Mi Bais expression also became desolate, but he knew it was not Tang Luos fault.
After all, the path of poetry is dwindling and mainly popular in brothels. How could a martial artist of peerless talent take interest in it?
Mi Bai lightly patted Old Xus shoulder and advised: Being able to obtain a single remarkable poem is already a blessing. Why should brother Xu mourn
so.
Though, Tang Luo was quite calm. He wasnt interested in poetry to begin with, the memorable spirit and verve in this Looking at the mountain poem was the reason he remembered it.
Not to mention how he could remember it clearly even after a whole fifteen years in this world.
Sigh. Old Xu sighed, his face full of loneliness. I feel like getting drunk now.
It would be best if he could get drunk enough to forget that such a master existed once, who composed over a thousand and five hundred poems.
Only like that, he wouldnt feel so heartbroken.
Looking at the two desolate literati, Tang Luo scratched his chin and reminded them: Weve seen the clouds and sung our verses, isnt it about time we descend the mountain?
Hum! Old Xu huffed at Tang Luo annoyedly, With Du Ziteng and Yang Fan around, are you still afraid the child will get lost?
He was still sinking in the pain of loss and couldnt calm down, consequently, he couldnt speak gently to Tang Luo. However, after hearing Tang Luos reminder, Mi Bai quickly agreed: Yes, yes, yes, we should go down quickly. When the three of them returned to the bamboo forest, they saw a group of children rushing up. They swarmed around Mi Bai, their faces filled with excitement and their eyes revealing uncontrollable curiosity.
Flying was always a romantic thing no matter where it was. And the sky was a mysterious place full of attraction. The children kept asking Mi Bai whats in the sky.
Old Xu hadnt come out of his regret yet. He went straight to the pavilion, grabbed the half-empty bottle of bamboo liquor, and started to guzzle it down.
As the saying goes, drinking to drown ones sorrow only makes sorrow worse, ton ton ton ton ton ton ton.
For the first time in his life, he understood what it felt like to lose a billion. Tang Luo, who just threw up, was feeling a bit weak. Just as he was about to go into the pavilion to replenish his energy, he saw Du Ziteng coming toward him. The young martial artists face was full of sadness and fragility. However, he still insisted on coming to Tang Luo and asked, Why did you tell me all these things?
Oh, youve become smarter, Tang Luo laughed. This straightforward young man was even considering his motives and asking about them. It seemed he was no longer a naive young man.
Hearing Tang Luos mockery, Du Ziteng could only give a bitter smile. Was he any smarter? He didnt think so.
It was just that after the Star Pavilion incident, his father told him that there might be inexplicable malice in the world, but there would never be unprovoked kindness. Therefore, he should always question why.
Even with his wisdom, he could understand that Tang Luos direct exposure to the problem with the Red Cloud Skill wasnt just a casual chat. But he had racked his brains and still couldnt figure out Tang Luos aim.
So for a moment he looked melancholic, but gathered his courage and approached to ask.
But Tang Luo didnt answer, just laughed. He took off his Dragon Soul pendant from his waist and handed it to Du Ziteng, Here, relay what I said to your clan leader. Take this as your tip.
Du Ziteng looked at the Dragon Soul pendant, a light of joy in his eyes. This spiritual instrument, originally sought by his father for his protection, was given to Tang Luo as an apology. He had been obsessing over this for a while, and seeing the Dragon Soul pendant returned to him, he momentarily forgot about probing the truth.
He swallowed hard and asked, Really really giving it to me? Tang Luo, with his eyes narrowed and smiling, pushed the jade pendant forward again, Just take it if I give it to you. Youre done here, you can go home now.
Du Zitengs eyes stared at the white jade Dragon Pendant in front of him. He took it with both hands and then hurried off without looking back, as if he was afraid Tang Luo might change his mind.
Watching his anxious figure, Tang Luo chuckled again, sat down in the pavilion, and pleasantly picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth.
Hmm- crispy and delicious, Tang Luo praised.
Belch- Old Xu let out a belch after drinking, putting down the empty wine flask, and asked Tang Luo, Are you planning to win over the Red Cloud Village?
He had heard the conversation between the two just now. He didnt know Tang Luos intention before, but seeing the last scene of handing over the Dragon Soul, it would be ludicrous if he couldnt see what Tang Luo was up to. Only a goof like Du Ziteng would think that the Dragon Soul was just a fee for running errands.
Old Xu, with a gloomy face, initiated the conversation with Tang Luo, thats rare.
Tang Luo turned his head, raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile, Arent you mad anymore?
Im mad! Old Xu answered very decisively. But Ive decided not to make a fuss with you who dont appreciate.
Turing a blind eye to Xu, Tang Luo ignored the displeasure and just picked up another peanut, relishing it.
As a gentleman who can feel other peoples emotions, Tang Luos calmness aroused Old Xus curiosity once more: Are you so sure that you can solve the problem with that lower-level practice?
There are two ways to win over people: through kindness or through power. Given Tang Luos current state, he wouldnt be able to press a village to subdue, but considering his identity as a martial arts researcher, he may be able to solve the crisis of the Red Cloud Villages skills and thus win over the village. But such lower-level skills have very complex foundations. Apart from deep theoretical barriers, there are also hidden doors left by the designers of the skill to find. Furthermore, some designs even left multiple hidden doors. Hence, changing such a skill is undoubtedly a difficult task.
Ill try. There wont be any loss if it doesnt work. Tang Luo replied casually with a smile.
Due to his current rank, the skills and techniques that he can currently improve are all of yellow rank. But with his astonishing rate of breaking through, even if he cant solve the problem with the Red Cloud Skill now, he will definitely be able to in the future. Therefore, he was not flustered at all. Seeing Tang Luo sitting there confidently, Old Xu teased: You dont even have a vague plan yet, so why are you so happy? Youre trying to recruit this village without being certain that you can solve the skill problem. I dont see it happening. Didnt you see how proud that young man is of his own skill? Tang Luo put down his chopsticks, extended a finger, and waved it gently: I wasnt so sure before, but now, I am very certain..
