C631 Jiuyu
The closer Jia Nan Mountain was to the top, the purer the spirit force was, and the richer it was.
"We're here." Lil 'Six pointed to a simple thatched cottage in the distance as he spoke to Qin Yun and Miao Shu.
"Thank you Lil 'Six, this is for you." Miao Shu smiled. Once again, she fished out a lollipop from her pocket and handed it to Lil 'Six.
Lil 'Six looked at the lollipop in Miao Shu's hand and cautiously glanced at her. "Eat it. This guarantee doesn't have any poison."
As Little Six and Miao Shu were speaking, Qin Yun walked alone in the direction of the simple and crude thatched cottage.
In front of the thatched cottage was a small plot of empty land with an open stone table on top of it. On the stone table were two bamboo tubes placed. It was obvious that Mr. Jiuyu was a chess lover.
Beside the simple thatched hut was a stone tablet without any words. On top of the stone tablet was a long sword, and only the hilt of the sword was exposed.
When Qin Yun arrived in front of the thatched cottage, a hearty laugh could be heard from inside. "Brother Qin, you have come rather quickly."
Huang Kun walked out of the thatched cottage with a hearty laugh, followed closely by Hong Tian. Soon after, a handsome man in white, who appeared to be in his thirties, walked out.
There was an indescribable melancholy and sadness in this person's brows. However, there was a smile constantly hanging on his face. What shocked Qin Yun the most was that he could not sense the depth of this person's strength.
Qin Yun knew that this person was one of the Four Saints of China, the Nine Feathers Southern Addicts.
The Western Immortal was one of the Four Sacred Masters of China. Although Nine Feathers was the youngest of the Four Sacred Masters, he was the strongest in Cultivation. It could be seen that Nine Feather was an absolute genius.
"Senior Huang, Senior Hong." Qin Yun first greeted Huang Kun and Hong Tian before saying respectfully to Jiu Yu, "Junior, Qin Yun greets Senior Jiu Yu."
A smile appeared on Jiu Yu's face. "You must be Saint Lord Zhan Long."
"Exactly." Qin Yun answered respectfully.
"The reason you've come this time should be to convince me to come down the mountain, right?" Jiu Yu went straight to the point.
"This …" Qin Yun was rendered speechless. He never expected Jiu Yu to be so direct.
"Yes." Qin Yun nodded and answered.
"Then please go back. I will not take even half a step out of Jia Nan Mountain in my lifetime." Jiu Yu continued to speak with a smile.
After Huang Kun and Hong Tian heard Jiu Yu's reply, both of them frowned. They did not expect Jiu Yu to be straightforward in his question, and he was straightforward in his rejection.
"Senior, are you really not going to consider it?" Qin Yun said.
"There's nothing to consider. Go back." Jiu Yu lightly said. She turned around and walked into the thatched cottage.
Huang Kun and Hong Tian hurriedly signaled Qin Yun with their eyes. Qin Yun understood and quickly followed them into the thatched hut.
This thatched cottage looked extremely simple and crude on the outside, but it was actually very clean and plain inside. There was only a table and two chairs, and half of the space on the table was occupied by a guqin.
The zither was dark brown in color, and it was unknown what wood it was made of, but it emitted a faint fragrance.
The zither's body was engraved with simple and unadorned patterns. The seven strings were as light and transparent as silk. Seven different types of spirit energy flowed through the seven strings.
"Good zither!" Although Qin Yun did not understand the zither, he could tell from a glance that the zither was no ordinary object.
"You understand the zither too?" Jiu Yu sat on the surface, gently caressing the body of the zither, her eyes filled with boundless love.
"I don't understand. This is the first time I've seen such a good zither." Qin Yun sat in another chair. "Why didn't Senior go down the mountain?"
"You should leave. I won't go down the mountain." This time, Jiu Yu's tone was filled with determination. He then slowly got up and half lay on the simple wooden bed.
He didn't mention anything about why he didn't want to go down the mountain.0
Qin Yun naturally would not say, "If you don't go down the mountain, I won't leave." If this method worked, Huang Kun and Hong Tian would not have been left with nothing for a month.
He looked at the zither on the table and made a risky decision. "Since that's the case, then I'll be offending you."
With that said, Qin Yun moved like lightning and grabbed the zither in his hand.
At the instant Qin Yun obtained the zither, Jiu Yu's eyes flashed with a shocking killing intent. If the Seven Slaughterer Hu Shuang was present, he would definitely feel inferior because the difference between his killing intent and Jiu Yu's was like heaven and earth.
At the same time, an extremely powerful spiritual force was released from Jiu Yu's body. It instantly locked onto Qin Yun.
Qin Yun sensed the powerful spiritual force and killing intent as his heart sank. He had made the right bet. This guqin was extremely important to Jiu Yu. As such, he held it up high.
"Swish, swish." Two figures suddenly rushed in. It was Huang Kun and Hong Tian. The moment they sensed the killing intent, they immediately rushed in.
When the duo entered, they saw Qin Yun holding the zither high up in the sky. The duo seemed to be at a loss.
Huang Kun shouted at Qin Yun, "Brother Qin, quickly put it down!"
Hong Tian also said, "Little brat Qin, you can't touch that zither."
From the looks of it, they also knew how important this zither was to Jiu Yu.
However, Qin Yun did not listen to Hong Tian and Huang Kun's dissuasion. Not only did he not put down the zither, a golden beam of light flashed in his hand.
"Put it down!" Jiu Yu looked at Qin Yun with a stern gaze as he shouted with a deep voice.
"I'm not letting go, unless you tell me that we're in a crisis in China right now, why are you so slow to make a move?" Qin Yun said to Nine Feathers.
"Are you threatening me?" The killing intent in Jiu Yu's eyes intensified.
"I admit that I'm not a match for you, but I can definitely destroy this zither before you do." A smile suddenly suffused across Qin Yun's face.
"Bad Boy, quickly put it down. That is Jiu Yu's lifeblood. If you destroy it, we won't be able to save you." He was now regretting having been persuaded by Qin Yun.
"Yeah, and we all know the question you're asking." Hong Tian added.
Qin Yun stared at Jiu Yu and turned to Huang Kun and Hong Tian. "Then, about this question, have you asked Senior Jiu Yu?"
Huang Kun and Hong Tian looked at each other. They had never asked Jiu Yu about Qin Yun because they felt that they knew.
"Of course, ever since his wife passed away, he has never stepped even half a step outside of Jia Nan Mountain. That's why he got the name Nan Chi." Hong Tian said to Qin Yun.
Huang Kun nodded in agreement.
Qin Yun looked at Nine Feathers with a smile and said, "All of you are wrong. According to my guess, it's not because of this but because there are other unspeakable things here."
When Jiu Yu heard Qin Yun's words, his expression sunk but he did not say a word.
"Brother Qin, this is your first time here, what can you guess?" Huang Kun frowned and asked.
