Creation Color Master

On the first night after returning home, Chu Mo slept very comfortably and got up early at dawn.

Li Wan'er had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast early in the morning. Chu Mo sat in the Tingyu Pavilion, picked up the porridge and took a sip. A refreshing fragrance filled his taste buds.

Seeing that Li Wan'er had also prepared fruits and cakes, Chu Mo smiled and said, "Wan'er, thank you for your hard work. I'll have to trouble you to call the musicians from the theater later."

Li Wan'er smiled gently and said, "My lord, there is no need to be so polite. This is what Wan'er should do." After that, she bowed slightly and left.

Yesterday, Chen Gong introduced Li Wan'er to everyone. Everyone welcomed her arrival and took care of her enthusiastically. This feeling made her completely accept her current identity.

Li Wan'er's gratitude towards Chu Mo grew day by day.

Just as Chu Mo picked up the cut fruit, a group of brightly dressed women came from the outer courtyard.

There were a total of twenty-four people. They were the musicians hidden behind the scenes who had kept the theater running smoothly for four years. Each of them was good at a different instrument, and each of them had just broken through to a new level.

Looking at the women competing with each other for beauty in front of him, Chu Mo’s thoughts couldn’t help but go back to two years ago.

At that time, I had only been in this world for two years, my cultivation had just reached the first level, the theater had just started, and even the number of performers had not yet been gathered.

After asking around, he found out that there was a folk art house in the south of Yong'an Town that specialized in teaching musical instruments and performing as a means of earning a living. He originally wanted to find an opportunity to try it out, but before Chu Mo could get there, the folk art house was massacred.

When Chu Mo heard the news at first, he was shocked and scared.

After some inquiries, they learned that it was a dandy young man from a certain family who was fond of women and had taken a fancy to several female musicians in the opera house. He wanted to use his power to oppress them and was plotting something ill. However, Wang Hong found out and taught the dandy young man a lesson.

The Quyi Theater was implicated and suffered retaliation from the playboys. No one was left alive in the entire theater and all were tortured and killed.

When Wang Hong arrived, it was too late. The opera house was on fire, and no evidence of the dandy boy's crime was found. Therefore, no case could be filed and the matter ended in nothing.

What no one knew was that when the opera house was on fire, Chu Mo was quietly directing the ghosts to march at night in the dark, searching for valuable items.

After a race against time, Chu Mo not only obtained the instruments used by these musicians during their lifetime, but Hongyi also brought back the 24 wronged souls, which are the 24 solar terms today.

That’s right, when Chu Mo looked at the twenty-four wronged souls in front of him, he remembered the twenty-four solar terms in his previous life. Later, he found that they were all women, so he named them after the twenty-four solar terms.

After some conversation and consolation by Chu Mo, the two sides reached an agreement that as long as Chu Mo was willing to avenge them, they would be willing to follow all of Chu Mo's arrangements.

With the addition of the 24 solar terms, the theater's business gradually improved, and the addition of music also made the opera more attractive to the audience.

This accelerated Chu Mo's cultivation speed, and in the end Chu Mo successfully avenged them.

Recovering his thoughts, Chu Mo smiled and said, "I called everyone here today because I have something good to give to everyone."

As he spoke, he took out two books of music from the side. They were "The Song of the Wandering Dragon's Dream" and "The Song of the Dark Fragrance's Soul-Destroying Song" that Yan Wenchang gave to Chu Mo when Wei Zheng became his apprentice.

Chu Mo also read these two books of music. Both of them contain extremely lethal music, and can be learned by any musical instrument. They are extremely precious.

Chunfen, wearing a green orchid fur coat and gauze, stepped forward, picked up the two books and shared them with her sisters. They hugged each other and listened to the music.

Chu Mo coughed lightly and spoke again: "Everyone, in addition to these two songs, the Qu family has stored a lot of spiritual energy during this period of time. I plan to improve your cultivation."

Xiaoxue, who was wearing a fox fur coat, said excitedly, "Really? The theater has been performing many times outside recently, and Xiaoxue is exhausted."

Chu Mo smiled and said, "Haha, I don't think it's any good. You're complaining."

Hearing this, all the girls covered their faces. Xiaoxue glared at Chu Mo angrily.

As Chu Mo's spiritual consciousness moved, the Qu family's spiritual power stored during this period of time turned into twenty-four equal parts, and sank into the figures representing the twenty-four solar terms in the scroll.

For a moment, the aura of several people rose steadily, and soon reached the peak of the first level of soul nurturing.

Afterwards, Chu Mo distributed the Xi family spiritual energy he had gained during this period. This time, he directly promoted Chu Yun and Chu Tian to the lower level of the first level of soul-nourishing stage; Cai Yi and Hua Mei were promoted to the peak of the first level of soul-nourishing stage.

After exhausting his spiritual energy, Chu Mo dismissed everyone and took out the jade flute from his waist to observe it carefully.

Ever since he obtained this Earthly Evil Spirit Weapon from the Beast Taming Sect, Chu Mo has never used it once. He just hung it around his waist as a decoration.

Now that he had time, Chu Mo picked up the jade flute for the first time and happily began to practice "You Long Meng Hua Qu".

Although Chu Mo is not a music master, he has been exposed to music since he was a child. Especially if one wants to form a perfect coordination with the musicians when singing opera, one naturally has to understand the music scores. Therefore, Chu Mo was forced to learn it by his father when he was a child.

In Chu Mo's opinion, singing opera is to store the breath in the chest and make sounds through the mouth, thereby changing the length of the tone; and opera composers also store the breath in the chest, but extend it to musical instruments, and many musical instruments also use the mouth to control the pronunciation.

Chu Mo sat in the Tingyu Pavilion, carefully playing each note of the piece.

While Chu Mo was practicing, Chen Gong came over with a smile on his face and said, "My Lord, Governor Sun sent an invitation saying that a Liufeng Literary Banquet will be held in Fuyun City, and young talents from all over Liufeng County are invited to attend. I heard that you are back, so he asked me to pass the invitation to you."

Chu Mo simply smiled faintly about this matter. His performance in the imperial capital, especially the emperor's special treatment, must have already been noticed by all major forces. He just didn't know who was standing behind Sun Anzheng?

It has been four or five days since I left the imperial city. I returned home yesterday and today Sun Anzheng's people came to my house. How could it be such a coincidence?

Suddenly, Chu Mo seemed to have thought of something, and asked Chen Gong, "Gongtai, it seems that Governor Sun knows how important you are to the emperor, so he did not try to win you over for the people behind the scenes."

Chen Gong smiled faintly upon hearing this, and explained, "Since he knew my identity, he didn't have the courage, but I will also attend this literary banquet, because Sun Anzheng needs our help to set up a trap. You will know when you go there."

Chu Mo was stunned when he heard this, and asked in disbelief: "What's going on? Why does he need to set up a trap? And how did he get in touch with the Twenty-Four Solar Terms?"

Chen Gong explained, "It was the performance before you left. For a while, the reputation of the theater spread to the surrounding counties, and more and more people invited us to perform. They were accidentally exposed during a performance."

Chu Mo didn't worry about the exposure of the twenty-four solar terms, but asked if the actors had encountered any trouble.

Chen Gong smiled and said, "With Sun Anzheng's care and Du Yuntian and his wife's secret protection, we didn't run into any trouble."

Chu Mo nodded when he heard this, as if he was in deep thought.

Chen Gong smiled and said, "We will split up into two groups. I will appear at the banquet as a steward with the twenty-four solar terms. This is what I have discussed with Governor Sun. You can take Daoyan with you. Sun Anzheng has wanted to meet Daoyan for a long time. What do you think?"

Chu Mo smiled and said, "What else can I do? I will go to the Wenyan banquet, but I still need to prepare a little bit."

Chen Gong smiled and nodded, put down the invitation and turned to leave.
