We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real? - Chapter 584
Chapter 582 Musical Instruments
Yu Yin now deeply regretted coming to the Secret Realm of Music. If she hadn’t come here, she wouldn’t have met Jiang Li. If she hadn’t met Jiang Li, she wouldn’t have teamed up with Jiang Li. If she hadn’t teamed up with Jiang Li, she wouldn’t have been able to sing nursery rhymes.
After singing a nursery rhyme, Yu Yin’s cheeks were still slightly flushed, as if she had just drunk
alcohol. Yu Yin couldn’t hold her liquor well, and she would get drunk as soon as she drank, her cheeks slightly red, and then she would start to act crazy.
Jiang Li was worried that Yu Yin would go crazy, so he secretly took a small step to the outside, but Yu Yin held his shoulders tightly and pulled him back.
“This song is good, very catchy. Did you write it?” The Music Fairy asked Jiang Li with a smile. She could tell if the other party was lying about music.
“I adapted the latter part.”
“Why did you adapt it? Do you think you are better than the original?”
Jiang Li said seriously, “Because I can’t remember the lyrics at the end.”
“…”
The Music Fairy’s divine consciousness allowed the two to pass the second test.
“From ancient times to the present, the development of music has been reflected not only in composition and singing, but also in the crucial role of musical instruments.”
“Bells, shengs, bells, drums, konghous, qins… the emergence of musical instruments has given the way of music a wider variety of expression.”
“This third test requires each of you to create a new instrument.”
“Any ideas?” Jiang Li asked Yu Yin secretly. Yu Yin, still remembering the humiliating moment, decided to ignore Jiang Li for the time being.
And then there was that stinky gourd fanning the flames.
Yu Yin stamped the Ruyi Gourd on the ground, looking at it like trash, warning it that if it dared to do it again, it would be punished even more severely than this time.
Seeing Yu Yin’s disregard, Jiang Li was left to fend for himself.
Soon, he came up with a solution.
…
The time allotted by the Music Immortal’s divine consciousness quickly passed, and she asked everyone to demonstrate their achievements.
“Fairy, please look, this is the recorder I invented. It can reproduce any sound you’ve ever heard. Not only that, it can also post-process the audio and fix any off-key sounds.”
“Do you think the Immortal Realm has never seen technology?” The Sound Fairy’s divine sense suggested that this person had some misunderstanding about the Immortal Realm.
Even though she didn’t have most of the Immortal Realm’s memories, she remembered that, as the core of the universe, the Immortal Realm had a lot of technology.
Seeing this, someone quickly hid their calculator behind their back.
“Next.”
“This is a new musical instrument I found,”
the person said, holding a leaf. “Leaves are the most common instruments in nature. With a little skill, you can create beautiful music with them. And the leaf I hold is something no one has ever attempted before.”
The Sound Fairy’s divine sense looked at him holding the cactus thorn, unsure what to say.
“Blow one, and let me see.”
No matter how the person tried, the leaf in his hand wouldn’t make a sound.
Finally, his efforts paid off. He channeled his Qi into his Dantian, exerting all his strength and blowing. The cactus thorn flew out like a hidden weapon, lodging in the tree. The end of the thorn trembled rapidly, producing a sound.
“Fairy, please look, this is the musical instrument I invented.”
Luo Ying displayed a row of frogs at his feet.
“These are seven frogs with different tones I found by the river. After training, they can sing out the corresponding note with just a push.”
Luo Ying pressed a frog, and it croaked with a note similar to the gong note.
He pressed another frog, and this one croaked with a note similar to the shang note.
“Xiaoliang, Xiaoming, Xiaoguang, Xiaoke, Xiaohua, Xiaomei, Xiaoli, let the fairy see the results of our training.”
Luo Ying directed the frogs, and they croaked in unison. After Luo Ying’s training, their singing was almost as good as Luo Ying’s.
After the performance, the seven frogs and Luo Ying looked at the Music Fairy’s Divine Mind with anticipation.
The Music Fairy’s Divine Mind felt a pang of fear at the thought of these well-trained frogs remaining in the secret realm after Luo Ying left.
“You’ve passed. I have only one request.”
“Fairy, please speak.”
“Take these frogs with you when you leave.”
“Fairy sister, this is the musical instrument I invented.” Luo Zhu was polite, and his invention was perfectly normal: a piece of refined lightning-struck wood.
Luo Zhu used palm thunder, striking the wood with different forces, producing different sounds.
“Much better than your brother. Passed.” With Luo Ying in front, the Sound Immortal’s divine sense deemed everyone qualified.
“This is the musical instrument I invented.” Yu Yin produced a bow-like object half a person’s height, its string thick at the top and narrow at the bottom. Depending on the force and position of the string, the sound produced varied.
“This thing of yours must be more than just a musical instrument,” the Sound Immortal’s divine sense told her.
“It’s also a weapon, activated by spiritual energy.”
As the bowstring plucked, attacks of the seven elements—metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder—struck Jiang Li.
“Hey, hey, hey, don’t use me as a target,” Jiang Li complained to Yu Yin after enduring the attack.
“A mistake.” Yu Yin responded coldly, then plucked the bowstring a few more times at Jiang Li.
“If you accumulate power, you can create spiritual energy arrow feathers.”
Yu Yin drew the bow, his eyes sharp. The bow was full of arrows, and the arrow feathers were placed on the bow, emitting a terrifying energy wave.
Yu Yin aimed at Jiang Li, thought for a moment, and still did not shoot.
The spiritual energy arrow feathers dissipated.
The sound fairy’s mind was amazed. It was rare to find spiritual treasures that could be used for both playing and fighting: “Creative, you passed.” The
sound fairy’s mind came to Jiang Li’s side, saw that he had nothing in his hands, and asked in confusion: “Where is your instrument?”
“My instrument is my body.”
“What do you mean?”
“Wait a minute while I prepare,” Jiang Li said. He found the Ruyi Gourd, muttered a few words, and then disappeared into a thick fog.
Following Jiang Li’s instructions, the Ruyi Gourd narrated:
“Bai Hongtu was attacked by an extraterritorial demon. He tried everything, but was powerless. Just when Bai Hongtu was in despair, a figure appeared…”
The thick fog obscured vision. A figure loomed through the mist, appearing remarkably reliable.
As the figure appeared, powerful background music played, creating a sense of optimism, confidence, and the power of the person who appeared.
Jiang Li appeared, and the sound emanated from within him.
“What’s the principle behind this?” The Yinxian Divine Mind was puzzled.
Jiang Li pulled out a manual: “This is a manual I wrote, called ‘Appearance Manual.’ It’s simple and easy to learn, even a pig can do it.”
“Practicing this manual will mobilize the body’s blood, muscles, and other parts, causing them to produce sound.”
“When others are in danger and you step in to save them, you can practice this manual to become exceptionally impressive.”
“…”
The Yinxian Divine Mind admitted its lack of experience.
There’s no such thing in the Immortal Realm.
Jiang Li successfully passed the three tests with his extraordinary talent in the way of music.
