Chapter 95 Mysterious!

  "Huh!" Xiao Yun hesitated, "What's so touching?"

  "Let me cry, let me laugh, let me be infatuated. I don't want heavenly music or divine sounds. As long as it can move my heart, that's what I call being moved. Can it?"

  "Huh?" Xiao Yun was taken aback.

  "If I were to say that the music is heavenly and divine, you would probably think I'm intentionally making things difficult for you. Looking at your musical attainments, even the most exquisite melodies might be wasted on you!" The little girl shook her head, "I'm not picky either, just play whatever tune you like, it's up to you!"

  "Hah, you're really not making things difficult for me!"

  Xiao Yun couldn't help but laugh, as if it were a heavenly melody that could move people to tears with ease. However, this little girl had chosen to play a low-level piece, which was much harder to touch people's hearts, let alone move them. She claimed she didn't want to make things difficult for herself, but in reality, she had set herself a huge challenge.

  The little girl said, "However, I must say beforehand that there are few tunes in this world that I haven't heard of. If your tune is one that I've heard before, then you can only go back to wherever you came from!"

  "What? Such big tone?"

  Xiao Yun gazed at the little girl with a strange expression. Under the vast sky, across the entire Tian Le Continent, from the mundane music of the common folk to the heavenly melodies of the gods, there were countless songs. Yet this little girl claimed that there weren't many songs in the world that she hadn't heard before. What an outrageous statement! Even the most exalted saints wouldn't dare utter such words.

  "What? Don't you believe me?" The little girl raised an eyebrow, crossed her arms over her chest, and looked up at Xiao Yun.

  Xiao Yun shook her head, of course she didn't believe it. Let alone that this little girl looked like she was only twelve or thirteen years old, even if she were some kind of thousand-year-old freak with a youthful appearance, it's absolutely impossible for her to be familiar with every single melody in the world. In the entire Tian Le Continent, tens of thousands of new melodies are born every day. How could one person possibly know them all?

  It seemed that she had expected Xiao Yun to be skeptical, and a small girl's mouth corners rose slightly as her small hand stretched out in front of her, a jade flute appearing in the palm of her hand. "If you don't believe me, you can ask me to play a tune, any tune that exists on the Tian Le Continent. I won't say that I know eight or nine out of ten, but I should be able to play five or six out of ten!"

  "Huh?"

  Xiao Yun smiled, is this really the case of a newborn calf not fearing tigers? He actually boasted such a big mouth, let alone 50-60% success rate, even if he could learn half of it, that would be an absolute godlike person.

  "If I were to make a move, you wouldn't be able to counter it, what would you do?" asked Xiao Yun.

  "How would you know if you don't try?" The little girl's mouth curved up, but there was no trace of Xiao Yun's provocation.

  Xiao Yun suddenly lost interest and thought for a moment before saying, "The Tianyin Sect's 'High Mountain Flowing Water Melody', do you know it?"

  The little girl smiled calmly and brought the jade flute to her lips, closing her eyes and playing a soft melody.

  The sound of the Xiao was low and melodious, sometimes like the song of a canary, sometimes like the crash of thunder. At first it was calm and quiet, but suddenly it became turbulent and unpredictable. Later on, it became smooth and flowing, with beautiful notes floating in the air of the cave. Shaoyun's face was filled with surprise, this tune was actually the "High Mountain and Flowing Water" of the Tianyin School!

  "How is it?"

  She stopped after blowing just one section and looked at Xiao Yun with a rather pleased expression.

  "How did you learn this melody?" Xiao Yun was quite surprised, this melody was a secret of the Tianyin School that wasn't passed down. How could this little girl know it? Was there a connection between this little girl and the Tianyin School?

  The little girl smiled brightly and said, "I've said it before, there aren't many tunes in this world that I don't know."

  Looking at the little girl's complacent appearance, Xiao Yun's face twitched, thinking that maybe it was just a coincidence. The Tianyin Sect had been passed down for so many years, and it wasn't impossible that the score had flowed out and been seen by this little girl.

  Xiao Yun thought for a moment and decided to ask a more challenging question, "I know there's a song called 'Wan Wu Sheng', do you know it?"

  This was a tune that Xiao Yun had just composed a few days ago. Except for Hong Ke Xin and Ji Yun Wen, who had received the five-line score from him, he could guarantee that there wouldn't be a fourth person who knew this tune. This tune was something he had brought over from Earth, and now it could also be considered a tune of Tian Le Continent. Since the little girl said she knew most of the tunes of Tian Le Continent, Xiao Yun decided to give her an impossible challenge.

  "What makes things grow?" The little girl scratched her head.

  Xiao Yun's mouth curved up slightly, if she was going to be lucky, then that would be a real encounter with a ghost.

  "This piece is quite difficult, and I've just learned it, so I couldn't play it completely!" However, just when Xiao Yun thought the little girl wouldn't be able to do it, the little girl lifted her head and gave Xiao Yun a sly smile.

  "What?" Xiao Yun didn't react in time.

  The little girl raised the jade flute again, glanced at Xiao Yun, pursed her lips and began to play.

  "Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip......"

  Familiar notes floated out of the jade flute, and Xiao Yun was immediately stunned, her facial expression as if she had seen a ghost. That familiar and moving melody, wasn't it "The Birth of All Things"?

  It was not only the birth of all things, but also the original score of Xiao Yun's work. Although the little girl blew it a bit unsmoothly, he could confirm that it was indeed his own immortal song "The Birth of All Things" which he had just composed two days ago.

  "I've seen a ghost!"

  That moving melody, however, made Xiao Yun's face turn pale, and a huge wave surged up in his heart. He inexplicably followed Ji Yunwen to this mountain cave, inexplicably entered the human world, and inexplicably met this little girl. The key was that this little girl was too strange, and she could even play the "Birth of All Things" that he had just composed. Xiao Yun felt as if he were in a cloud or fog, and everything he encountered today seemed so inexplicable.

  "Could she also be from Earth?"

  Xiao Yun's mind came up with a strange idea, but thinking about it again seemed unlikely. If she was from Earth like herself, it could explain why she knew "Wan Wu Sheng", but how would she know the Tian Yin Sect's "High Mountain Flowing Water" melody?

  "How was it?" Having just blown for half a beat, she saw Xiao Yun's surprised expression and stopped, seemingly looking at Xiao Yun with pride.

  Xiao Yun opened his mouth, and it took him half a day to come back to himself. "How did you know this song?"

  With a wave of her hand, the jade flute vanished into thin air. The little girl's mouth curved into a smile. "We'll talk about this later. You want me to give you a chance, don't you? Then move me with your music!"

  Xiao Yunding stood still, with a thousand thoughts surging in his mind, and he was still guessing the identity of this little girl. She could even see her own destiny, looking so confident, and what she just said might not be an exaggeration.

  The music of the world is all-pervading, five or six out of ten. Is this still human? Xiao Yun dared not look at her as a little girl again. At this moment, the sweet and lovely little girl in front of him was filled with infinite mystery in his heart.

  "Hey, are you going or not? I'm telling you, on this road, let alone finding opportunities, without my guidance, you won't even be able to find your way out." The little girl saw Xiao Yun standing there in a daze and suddenly became impatient.

  Xiao Yun snapped back to reality, only then remembering where he was. He had been here for quite some time already, and if he were to be trapped here, he would miss the timing of the Sacred Mark's appearance, which would be disastrous.

  Temporarily pressing down the curiosity and doubt in her heart, her gaze fell on that little girl's body, looking at her appearance, as if she was not joking with herself.

  Xiao Yun thought for a moment, this little girl asked herself to play a piece that could move her, such a piece was easy for Xiao Yun to come up with. However, she didn't want any heavenly music, only asking Xiao Yun to play a mundane and ordinary tune, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty by a lot.

  It's laughable to think that a single popular song could shake the Daoist heart of a deeply cultivated musician.

  As Xiao Yun knew, many demonic tunes were specifically designed to disturb one's mind and soul. However, Xiao Yun wouldn't use them, and those songs were also high-level compositions that didn't meet the requirements. If he had to consider a secular song, he did have one called "Terror" that could disturb one's heart and soul, but this little girl had already listened to "The Birth of All Things", so it was unlikely she hadn't heard "Terror".

  Opportunities are rare, and Xiao Yun didn't dare to try rashly. She thought about other songs in her mind. Since she said that as long as it was a song from the Tianle Continent, she had mostly heard of it. Those songs that hadn't appeared on the Tianle Continent yet, she probably hadn't heard of them, right?
