Chapter 5: A Harmless Smile

It was the people who misunderstood Lin Yi, not that he was crazy, but the habit of seven hundred years, can not be completely changed overnight, although Lin Yi has tried to integrate the modern social customs, words and deeds have changed a lot, there are always some small habits have not been able to change.

  If it were the Lin Yi of the past, he probably wouldn't have asked, "What song should I play?" but would have calmly said, "What song do you want to hear?

  Although these two sentences were somewhat similar, their meanings were worlds apart.

  For Lin Yi, every time he played, it could be described as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, with countless strong cultivators from all sides squeezing their heads to hear a song live.

  "Ooh?"

  Old Li laughed instead of being angry, glaring and saying, "Play any song you want, as long as you can play something!"

  Lin Yi agreed, picked up a good quality zither, and sat down on the podium.

  Buzz--

  Lin Yi lightly touched a string of the zither, seemingly testing the sound quality or perhaps searching for a feeling, but in the eyes of the others, it was extremely comical.

  Playing the zither was a very Confucian and noble thing.

  A poor loser with average clothes, black and ugly appearance, what tricks can he play?

  But ...

  The next moment, no one spoke as Lin Yi began to play.

  When the prelude arrived, Old Man Li could hear that this piece definitely didn't have a name, otherwise, based on his old experience, it was impossible that he wouldn't recognize which piece it was.

  "Lyrical type?" Old Li raised his thick eyebrows.

  The crowd of students were surprised, they hadn't really thought that this black kid actually had two hands!

  But as the prelude fell and formally entered the repertoire, the eyes of the crowd gradually changed from initial disdain to surprise, then wide-eyed, and finally ... stunned!

  "He he he ... can really play the guqin?" Everyone was inwardly shocked.

  The beautiful sound of the zither gradually spread in this educational building, refreshing their hearts.Gradually, everyone unconsciously closed their eyes, as if they all saw the image in their own minds.

  The picture everyone saw was different, and what old man Li saw was ...

  It was a peaceful, beautiful paradise that was not in competition with the world, with cicadas, poultry, busy farmers, fishermen fishing, virtuous housewives, and the smell of firewood wafting from the village for lunch.

  Just when everyone was feeling incomparably lazy, Lin Yi's hands suddenly changed!

  He accelerated the speed of his game!

  The scene suddenly changed, the village was in ruins, people were fleeing in panic, and the children's cries, which hit everyone's hearts hard, echoed miserably throughout the music classroom.

  "Double game?!" Old man Li's heart leapt.

  He unconsciously opened his cloudy old eyes, and the look he once again gave Lin Yi was completely different, "I really didn't expect such a young brat to have such a high level of zither skills!"

  After the misery, the sound of the zither gradually became vicious.

  Old man Li seemed to see that there was such a child who meticulously survived, hiding hatred deep inside, growing step by step, and working hard all day long through gritted teeth.

  Dang...

  Dang!

  Lin Yi once again changed his technique, his speed became faster and faster, if someone had opened their eyes to observe, they would have realized that his hand had even cast a shadow on the strings of the zither!

Blood.

  Blood everywhere, blood-soaked hell, still, no one should feel depressed, on the contrary, painful!

  That child back then, is now middle-aged, finally avenged his hatred, the former invaders, all died under his sword, Lin Lin's dazzling array of corpses, will be deep inside more than thirty years of hatred, completely cut off.

  Suddenly, the sound of the zither gradually faded, sometimes there are subtle cries, sometimes serene.

  Now the middle-aged man is a late old man.

  He was sitting in the deep mountains, looking at the simple grave he had prepared for himself, and his cloudy eyes gradually closed.

  At the end of the zither, the scene changes.

  There is an inconspicuous yellow earth snare, incomparably desolate, but he seems to see again that village, that ... quiet village.

  The Snare

  When the last string fell, Lin Yi held his hands for a long time and sighed softly.

  At that time, Old Man Li had almost frozen, he hadn't fully recovered his senses from the sound of the zither.

  Originally, he thought it was just a very simple song, he was just surprised that Lin Yi's basic skills were so stable, it wasn't until the double strumming that Old Man Li was surprised, and then at the back, the triple strumming again!

  Shocked, Old Man Li simply thought that this must be the limit.

  But he didn't expect that behind the trio, there was a look back, this hand look back can be called the finishing touch, making the whole zither song sublimate more than one realm!

  The other students also opened their eyes one by one, some boys were silent, some girls were secretly crying, the images they saw from the sound of the zither were all different, but they were deeply shocked!

  What they had heard before, how could it be called music?

  Compared to this song, it was nothing but garbage! Worthless stinking shit!

  Immediately, everyone's gaze towards Lin Yi changed, Liu Xinya was stunned to the point of speechlessness, her heart flooded with monstrous waves, "When did he learn to play the piano? And ... why is he still playing so well ... no! This is simply master level, right?"

  Wasn't Lin Yi just a poor loser who was useless and couldn't find anything good in himself? How ...

  For some reason, Liu Xinya suddenly developed the feeling that ... Lin Yi was no longer the Lin Yi of old.

  The complexity in Tong Yao's heart was no better either.

  No one noticed that there were tears in the corners of her eyes.

  In the sound of the zither in the square, she saw some things from a few years ago, and she also saw her future, and one similarity with what old man Li saw was ... that she also saw a lonely grave, which was the yellow earth that belonged to her.

  "Bitten by rhubarb but afraid of injections, Yao Yao, is so stupid." Tong Yao's pupils were sluggish and dull.

  "What kind of song is this?" Old man Li's tone was extremely excited and hard to control, his first reaction was to want to know the name of the song.

  Upon hearing this, the others also stared at Lin Yi, waiting for him to open his mouth.

  Lin Yi paused and replied, "This song has no name.

  "No name?" Old man Li was stunned, and then he seemed to think of something and asked with wide eyes, "You wrote this song ...?!"

  The crowd was shocked beyond belief, original?

  What a joke!

  However, Lin Yi nodded and said with some emotional sighs, "I created it with feeling, I haven't played it for a long time, my hands are very rusty, please point out to the teacher if I don't play it well.

  The corners of Old Man Li's mouth twitched violently.

Pointing?

  Old man Li just wants to curse, what can he do to teach! On your achievements in the guqin, you as my teacher is almost!

  Old man Li's face was dishonored, his face was embarrassed, lightly coughed and said, "You play very well, there is nothing that needs to be corrected ... well ..."

  "Teacher deceptive." Lin Yi said modestly.

  A third of the time of this lesson had passed, and Old Man Li's inner thoughts had become extraordinarily different, with so many things on his mind that he was distracted by the following lectures.

  "This hairy kid named Lin Yi is a malleable talent, but it's a pity that I can't teach him, and there's no master in all of Xiang City who's qualified to teach him!"

  "He's a hairy kid, even if he started learning qin from the womb, he wouldn't be able to reach this level, right? Could it be that ... his parents at home are also qin masters?"

  "It shouldn't be wrong, only those who come from a prestigious family will have this kind of talent in their bones."

  "It seems that it's necessary to go and get to know his family well in the next few days ..."

  These things that Old Man Li was thinking about, Lin Yi naturally didn't know, after the party's shocking film, there was no one to make fun of and target him, and Old Man Li didn't make things difficult from that, so Lin Yi was happy to relax and feel comfortable.

  In the second half of the class, Lin Yi wasn't secretly cultivating, but he was thinking about something.

  After returning to Earth, Lin Yi had one primary goal.

  To find his parents!

  Lin Yi had a lot of things he wanted to ask them about, how they could be so cruel as to abandon themselves in a garbage heap, and if they hadn't been picked up by the local good Samaritans and sent to the police, I'm afraid he would have starved to death and frozen to death even as an infant!

  In the past, Lin Yi had never thought that he would find his parents, because he had big problems even living.

  But nowadays, it had long since become the Lin Yi of the past, and he was fully equipped and qualified to embark on the path of searching for his origins!

  Ding Bell

  Just as Lin Yi was secretly clenching his fists and gritting his teeth as he thought about the two unfamiliar words of his parents, the bell rang.

  With nothing to pack, Lin Yi walked out with two empty hands, intending to return to the classroom.

  But just then, someone blocked his way.

  Several short-haired tall boys blocked in front of Lin Yi, the leader of the man's gaze with disdain and lofty arrogance, he lightly inhaled a mouthful of cigarettes, and then spit out, smoke smoking in Lin Yi's face, "Want to go? Oh ... where can you go?"

  Clearly seeing the comer, Lin Yi half narrowed his eyes.

  At this time, a sharp and piercing female voice suddenly came from behind him, "That's him! Shao Xiang, that stinking loser has been harassing me endlessly, and now he's even followed me to our Changjun Middle School.

  Lin Yi frowned slightly as he looked at the arrogant youth at the head, "Are you looking for me for something?"

  This youth was clearly Liu Xinya's supporter, Huang Xiang!

  "It's not a big deal, I just stopped by to pick off your hamstring." Huang Xiang said indifferently, as if this was just a small and insignificant matter.

  Lin Yi suddenly smiled.

  It was a sunny and harmless smile.

  If a strong cultivator in the cultivation world saw this smile of Lin Yi's, he would be terrified, his scalp would go numb, and without saying a word, he would try to use his entire body's true qi to turn around and flee!

  Because ...

  Whenever Lin Yi shows this kind of smile, it means that there is foul-smelling blood to be spilled. ...
