I Have A Dual World Seal

Chapter 1284 - 1283: Backpackers Trekking Through the Wilderness

Sponsored

Du Yueyao went to the neighboring Pingtan County, and Yang Caiyi returned to Tonglin County, so naturally, Si Lingxi and Shen Ying were free.

"Zheng——Zheng——Zheng——"

Southeast of the Wuyi Mountain Scenic Area, on a remote mountain peak somewhat distant from the tourist spots.

Si Lingxi played the guqin, Lu Zheng raised the xiao, while Lin Wan and Shen Ying sat beside them, enjoying the music, admiring the scenery, and indulging in food and drink.

Then, as the tune ended, they all applauded together.

"How was it?" Lu Zheng asked with a smile.

"Very good." Si Lingxi nodded calmly.

"This tune sounds festive at first and then suddenly serene, like the Phoenix Cry. What’s the name?" Shen Ying asked.

"It’s called ’Qingfeng Song’." Lu Zheng nodded and smiled, "The final Phoenix Cry signifies a world blessed with peace and prosperity."

Shen Ying giggled, "I want to hear the ’Peach Blossom Immortal’ you made for me!"

"Okay, okay!" Lu Zheng nodded repeatedly.

This time, Lu Zheng played the guqin, while Si Lingxi took a Jade Flute to accompany him.

...

Recently, Lu Zheng had plenty of free time and composed many tunes.

Besides harmonizing the guqin and xiao with Si Lingxi, he also ensured fairness in creating for his other wives.

So Shen Ying received ’Peach Blossom Immortal,’ Liu Qingyan got ’Ode to the Green Doctor,’ and Lin Wan had her exclusive BGM ’Female Knight’s Lament.’

Although the tunes might not be world-renowned masterpieces, they transcend time.

Lin Wan decided that if she couldn’t hide it anymore, she’d mimic Qiao Feng and Wonder Woman, carrying a portable speaker to play her music whenever she appeared.

As for the hero costume, naturally, it was the tiger fur coat she hadn’t yet acquired.

Guaranteed to create a stunning effect!

As Lin Wan reminisced about her BGM, what she heard was actually ’Peach Blossom Immortal.’

Lu Zheng plucked the Phoenix Cry Zither, with strands of thousand-year-old ice silkworm silk vibrating the surrounding air, producing waves of music.

Si Lingxi stood beside him playing the flute, its sound crisp and clear, blending into the guqin melody like peach blossoms blooming in the spring breeze.

Clusters of peach blossoms bloomed, and then a Peach Blossom Fairy floated gracefully, stepping on the blooming pink peach blossoms as though dancing elegantly into the scene.

The music painted a stunning ’Peach Blossom Fairy Accompanied by Flowers Painting.’

"So beautiful..." Lin Wan exclaimed.

Shen Ying sat at the table, resting her chin, murmuring, "I want to install speakers in all the Taohua Temples to play this song on repeat day and night..."

Lin Wan chuckled, "Then you need to prepare a generator, transmission equipment, power lines, and don’t forget the backup diesel."

Shen Ying was speechless, "I was just saying..."

Over the past two years, more than a dozen Taohua Temples had sprung up, expanding her territory further; how could she possibly equip all with speakers and music.

This kind of whimsical idea can be amusing occasionally, but large-scale implementation? Who does she think people are, fools?

As the music ended, the two women clapped again, Shen Ying slipped to Lu Zheng’s side, giving him a quick kiss, but was gently pushed away when she tried the same with Si Lingxi.

Shen Ying turned, back to Si Lingxi, and winked at Lu Zheng, signaling her teasing failure.

Then Si Lingxi slightly raised an eyebrow, looking at Lu Zheng with a playful smile.

Lu Zheng: (*°ω°*)

Lin Wan saw it all, lightly biting her lip, and "intensely" glared at Lu Zheng.

"Serves you right!"

...

"Did any of you hear music?"

In the forest at the foot of the small mountain where Lu Zheng and the others were, a team of about ten well-equipped travelers were trekking.

"It seems like it..."

"I heard it too, it sounds like a xiao..."

"It’s a flute." A woman in the middle of the group raised her head and looked around.

"I didn’t hear anything." Two others shook their heads, saying, "How could there be flute music here?"

They were trekking in uninhabited wilderness, eerie surroundings without a trace of human presence, let alone flute music.

"Maybe it’s other travelers?"

"Few people know this route; I’ve walked it thrice and never seen anyone, lucky today?"

"Let’s go meet them." Someone laughed, "If they can play the flute in the mountains, they must be a cultured group."

"Better not, they’re strangers, who knows their intentions." Someone fearful countered.

"Let’s not meddle, it’s deep in the wilderness; who knows what else might be lurking."

"Come on, don’t scare me..."

"It’s modern days, stop imagining things."

"I’m not going!"

"What are you all fussing about? The flute sound has stopped, and we don’t even know where it’s coming from. How can we find them?"

Just as the words were spoken, music started again.

Yet, this time, it was a blend of guqin and xiao sounds.

The group, "..."

"Why do I hear zither sounds?"

"Not a zither; it’s a guqin. Also, this time, it’s not flute sounds; it’s xiao sounds..."

Listening to the music-professional girl speak, the group couldn’t help but shiver.

The flute was akin to a harmonica, a relatively common instrument; travelers might bring it to the mountains for a tune and a small video, hoping to attract some followers.

But few play the xiao, and moreover, who would haul a guqin into the mountains? Crazy?

"Could it be someone living in seclusion? Like those recluses in Zhongnan Mountain?"

"Even if there are, they’re not here; there’s not even a proper mountain path!"

The group looked at each other, then, unable to resist the chance, glanced at the person who mentioned creepy things.

"I was just speaking casually..."

"Let’s move!"

The group left swiftly, making the people on the mountain laugh.

Yes, they had watched the whole exchange between the group with amusement.

A few mortals, sneaking around at the mountain foot, couldn’t possibly hide from Lu Zheng and the others’ keen senses.

They simply didn’t care, performing ’Peach Blossom Immortal’ just as usual, watching the lively scene, and when they saw the group still puzzling over the sound source, played ’Female Knight’s Lament.’

That directly scared them away.

"It’s dangerous to wander in the wilderness." Lin Wan shook her head, "Hopefully, this scare teaches them to stick to safer paths."

For outdoor treks, countless routes are available; even if one avoids scenic paths, rural roads or rugged paths still stay close to civilization.

But wandering in untouched wilderness is truly perilous.

Emergency situations encountered during these treks, often leading to SOS calls and fatalities, mostly occur when walking in untouched wilderness.

At this moment, Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, and then everyone heard a distant scream.

"Ah!!!"
