I am a winner with Chinese poetry
Chapter 41 Ambush
As the sound of the pipa grew more intense, sweeping over like a violent storm, the whimpering wind and cries of killing, as if coming from a battlefield, appeared so vividly before everyone's eyes. They stared at Su Xun with wide eyes, terrified, only to see the air around her begin to tremble violently.
A thrilling scene of a fierce battle on a rainy night slowly unfolded before everyone. The sharp and clanging murderous intent surged like a tide, tightly surrounding everyone.
Finally, someone could no longer suppress their inner fear and desperately circulated their inner spirit to resist the terrifying murderous intent. However, the murderous intent that followed them like a shadow still penetrated every corner and continued to spread.
"What a terrifying murderous intent! I didn't expect this to be a war song. If it could be used on the battlefield, it would surely give the army an even greater boost!"
Hua Er Niang's face was full of astonishment. She widened her eyes and stared at Su Xun, who was at the core of the storm, with an extremely hot light flashing in her eyes.
Obviously, she immediately saw the immeasurable value hidden behind this piece of music. Time passed by minute by minute, and after a long time, the wind gradually subsided and the moon once again revealed its bright face.
At this moment, Su Xun, standing in the center of the stage, closed her eyes tightly, emitting a powerful aura that was so strong that it frightened people. However, in the next moment, this terrifying aura quickly withdrew like a tide.
Immediately afterwards, the surging spirit within the space around her began to fluctuate violently. Eventually, all the turbulence subsided, and everything returned to its former tranquility and peace.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Gu, for your kindness today. Please forgive me for not being able to repay you. Could you please tell me the name of this piece of music?"
Su Xun slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were as bright as stars, as clear as water, and exuded a captivating charm.
"The name of this song is Ambush from All Sides!" Gu Yunzhou said. The murderous intent that seemed to be tangible just now made him feel unable to calm down for a long time. He did not expect that a pipa song that was so familiar to him in his previous life would have such power in this world. Thinking about it now still makes him feel goosebumps.
"Ten Sides of Ambush is indeed worthy of its name. What a good song and what a good name. Mr. Gu, this token is yours. As long as you hold it, you can enter our Su family's secret realm. Moreover, in today's matter, I still took advantage. I owe you a favor. If Mr. Gu needs it in the future, I will do my best to repay you!"
Su Xun bowed solemnly, and the people in the audience who had just come to their senses were both envious and jealous. This was a promise made by the Su family's eldest daughter and the most outstanding person of this generation. The value of this promise could not be measured by simple money or treasures.
"Congratulations to Su Xuan for breaking through to the 6th rank. We at Beichen have added another genius!"
Hua Erniang walked over with a big smile on her face, her tone quite affectionate. Su Xuan was only in her early twenties, but she had already broken through to the sixth rank. This aptitude was considered one of the top few not only in Beichen, but also in the entire Tianxing Continent.
"I have to thank Mr. Gu for giving me this. Could you please tell me who created this ambush from all sides?" There was a hint of curiosity on Su Xun's face. Such an amazing music score must be the masterpiece of some master.
"I stumbled across this in an ancient book!" Gu Yunzhou sighed softly, a wave of emotion welling up in his heart. He silently reflected that the original author of this piece of music lived far away on another planet—Blue Star. Perhaps you'll never meet him in this lifetime. As for himself, whether he'd ever have the chance to return to Blue Star was also uncertain.
Upon hearing this, Su Xun's eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light. She seemed a little excited and eager to ask, "Mr. Gu, may I ask who wrote that ancient book? If it is convenient, could you tell me his name?"
Faced with Su Xun's persistent questioning, Gu Yunzhou felt a surge of helplessness. He could only bite the bullet and continue, "Alas... To be honest, it's just an old book that's extremely damaged and tattered. Most of the pages have been completely destroyed, and only a very small part remains that can be read. So, unfortunately, even I don't know the original author's name!"
At this moment, Gu Yunzhou was deeply aware that a small lie would often trigger a series of more lies to cover it up, which was really a headache.
"Furthermore, the ancient tome had been severely damaged, and many parts had turned to dust. Almost by the time I finished reading it, it was completely destroyed!"
Seeing that Su Xun seemed to be planning to continue asking questions, Gu Yunzhou hurriedly spoke out, secretly complaining in his heart: Miss Su, please don't ask any more questions, otherwise I'm afraid I will be exposed.
"It's such a shame that such a rare treasure has disappeared!" Su Xun's face was filled with loss and heartache. Just from this piece of music, "Ten Sides of Ambush," she could deeply feel the composer's amazing talent in musical notation, which was rare in her life. It was a pity that fate played such a trick on her, and such an outstanding work was buried and could not be passed down to the world.
"However, I am already very satisfied to get a poem of 'Ten Sides of Ambush'. Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Gu. I am grateful for your kindness. If you can use me in the future, just let me know!" Having said that, Su Xun once again solemnly performed a great ceremony between Confucian scholars, which can be said to be careless.
"Miss Su, you're too kind. I just happened to have it. To me, this piece of music is like a pearl cast into the dark, its true brilliance buried in vain. But I firmly believe that once it falls into Miss Su's hands, it will surely shine brightly and become famous far and wide. That's enough!"
Gu Yunzhou's gaze slowly shifted to the sheet music, carefully held in Su Xun's palm. A hint of loneliness and desolation crossed his eyes. It was as if the sheet music carried his endless thoughts, as if he was recalling an unforgettable experience from the past. At this moment, he was like a solitary traveler, unsure of where his path would end.
Su Xun's palms unconsciously clenched, she was full of doubts, completely confused as to why the young man in front of her suddenly revealed such a lonely and desolate look. The music sheet seemed to have an unusual meaning to him, and it was definitely not as insignificant and understated as he had described it before.
Perhaps there are so many hidden loves and hates, entanglements and disputes that he is unwilling to elaborate on them. Or perhaps these emotions are too deep and complex to be expressed clearly in words.
