Zither Emperor Chapter 977 Chapter 312 Accepting Disciples and Transmitting

977: Chapter 312 Accepting Disciples and Transmitting Skills (Part 1) 977: Chapter 312 Accepting Disciples and Transmitting Skills (Part 1) Seeing those delicate fingers, at that moment, Rui Qin’s position in Ye Yinzhu’s heart could not help but soar, and his fondness for him grew even more.

Rui Qin, being just a child, naturally did not notice the emotional change in Ye Yinzhu, his mind wholly focused on the Ancient Zither before him.

He lifted his little hand to touch the zither strings, beginning his performance.

Hum— When the first zither note sounded, a strange scene occurred.

The sound from the zither was not one note as Rui Qin had played, but two.

Although the two humming sounds seemed identical, there were also slight differences.

Rui Qin paused momentarily, but he continued to play.

What astonished everyone present was not Rui Qin’s incredible memory and learning capabilities, but the duet-like zither sounds that emanated from The Great Sage’s Legacy Zither Music.

Each time Rui Qin played a note, The Great Sage’s Legacy Zither automatically rang with a note of its own, creating a melody that shimmered reflectively alongside Rui Qin’s playing.

The duet-like zither music resonated through the palace, carrying an elegant mood.

Initially, the music emitted by The Great Sage’s Legacy Zither seemed to mimic Rui Qin’s playing, but as the music deepened, its own melody became more harmonious and jovial, everything so natural and soothing, the gentle tunes expressing touching emotions, just like the emotions Rui Qin had experienced earlier—this piece of music was indeed a declaration of love.

Rui Qin’s hands became somewhat flustered.

At first, he could keep up, but as the tempo of the music accelerated, and the beautiful melody spiraled out, his continued playing, though not significantly mistaken, seemed like a jarring noise mixed into the enchanting music, only disrupting the atmosphere, lacking the desired elegance.

Rui Qin’s gaze became a bit panicked for the first time as he followed The Great Sage’s Legacy Zither to the midpoint of the piece and finally could not continue playing.

He removed his hands from the strings, staring blankly at the seven trembling transparent silk strings, his eyes sparkling with contemplative light, a slight sweat visible on his tiny forehead, making him even more endearing.

Ye Yinzhu did not speak throughout, quietly sensing Rui Qin’s emotional change, impressed with his ability to regain posure and fall into a thoughtful state in such a short time.

This child was indeed very smart.

Without Rui Qin’s discording play, the beauty of the zither music became more moving, and every listener was unconsciously drawn into the emotions of the zither music.

Sura and Haiyang’s faces bore tender smiles, recalling their beautiful times with Yin Zhu in the midst of the music.

Standing beside them, Xiang Luan had bee mesmerized.

As the zither music dwindled in its lingering notes, the last synchronized trembling of the seven strings emitted an extremely poignant fading note, as if expressing a profound, everlasting love, continuing through lifetimes.

Rui Qin turned around, looking up at the closely standing Ye Yinzhu, his face slightly red, not from shyness, but from excitement.

“Teacher, you are truly great.

How did you do this?

I now understand what you did earlier.

You actually left the zither music inside the zither.

So, does that mean it could play as soon as the strings are touched?”

Ye Yinzhu nodded slightly and said, “I have many things I must do, so I cannot stay and teach you in person.

I will give you The Great Sage’s Legacy Zither.

When you can play a piece that fully matches the music I left in the Ancient Zither, without a single difference, then, in the craft of the Ancient Zither, you could also be considered a beginner.

I think, you understand what I mean.”

Rui Qin nodded and said, “What you said about being pletely the same, it’s not just about the tune, but also the emotions.

If I can also possess such emotions and play perfectly, then, I can be considered a beginner, right?”

Ye Yinzhu nodded and said, “Exactly.

Originally, I should not have left this zither music in the Ancient Zither, as you are still young and might find it hard to understand these emotional aspects.

However, the various finger techniques and playing methods used in this Ancient Zither music are the most balanced and prehensive, suitable for you as a beginner.

If you cannot incorporate emotions into the zither music, you do not need to force it.

It’s normal for you not to understand matters of emotions at your age.

But you must pletely master the entire piece of music, not just in tune but also in rhythm, and also, you should pay close attention to the trembling of the strings, to truly learn, not just the music, but even the string’s vibrations like I left in the Ancient Zither, do you understand?”

Rui Qin pondered and said, “Teacher, this must be about controlling the Ancient Zither.”

Ye Yinzhu smiled and nodded, “Every time you play it, it will subtly change you, aiding in the growth of your spiritual power.

You are so young yet already so intelligent, and your spiritual power far exceeds the average, having this zither music help you train your spiritual power will ensure you handle it better without issues.”

Rui Qin turned excitedly, caressing The Great Sage’s Legacy Zither like he had received the best toy.

When he turned back around, his little face unexpectedly bore the seriousness of an adult, “Teacher, I promise you, I will cherish this Ancient Zither as dearly as my own life.

The zither lives, I live; the zither perishes, I perish.”

Watching Rui Qin’s earnest expression, Ye Yinzhu felt a special kind of emotion welling within him, perhaps, that should be called gratification.

He nodded slowly to him, touched his head, “With your understanding, Yinzhu, I don’t need to say much about the specific methods of cultivation.

Just remember the phrase I spoke of earlier.

If you immerse yourself in that state while playing the zither, you will succeed.”

Rui Qin stretched out his little hands and held Yinzhu’s big hand, “Outside of the zither, there is nothing else.”

The teachings Yinzhu imparted to Rui Qin were not plex, yet the understanding required was something most adults could hardly possess.

What he had done earlier might have seemed simple, yet the method of preserving sounds in the ancient zither tremendously exhausted his spiritual power.

This sound-preserving method was an invention of Yinzhu initially intended for use on the Zither Emperor’s aircraft carrier.

Since he couldn’t always be on the aircraft carrier, he used this method to leave some zither music inside.

When the Zither Emperor’s Twelve Musician Lanes launched a sound attack, there would be music to assist.

Just now, what Yinzhu did by preserving the zither music in The Great Sage’s Legacy Zither was even more plex, as he not only stored the music but also left traces of his emotions and spiritual imprint within the music.

This became extremely difficult.

Not to mention Xiang Luan’s inability to prehend, even Haiyang, who had always followed Yinzhu, only understood it partially.

It was definitely Yinzhu’s pinnacle creation in the field of zither music.

The test Yinzhu spoke of was, in fact, nothing serious.

Whether it was passed or not, wasn’t it up to him to decide?

partment was prepared to take Rui Qin as a disciple when he stored the music in The Great Sage’s Legacy Zither.

Standing up, Yinzhu glanced at his first disciple with some reluctance and said to Silvio, “Uncle, we’re leaving.

I’ll leave the matters we agreed upon before in your capable hands.

Rui Qin is exceptionally gifted.

If possible, try not to let him be exposed to the world of power too much while he’s young.

He is still a child and should be entitled to a childhood.

As for the zither, there’s no need to be overly attached.

Just let him follow his own preferences.”

In Yinzhu’s view, Rui Qin, as the Crown Prince of the Milan Empire, could never devote all his energy solely to studying the zither, so he might as well let nature take its course.

If he could achieve what had been mentioned earlier within five years, laying the foundation, then it would be meaningful to continue learning.

Otherwise, treating it as just a hobby wouldn’t be a bad thing either.

After all, among all musical instruments, the virtue of the zither is the best, making it ideal for cultivating one’s sentiments.

Silvio and Xiang Luan, holding Rui Qin, along with Dean Fergerson and Marshal Xi Duofu, acpanied Yinzhu and his family out of the palace gates before stopping.

It wasn’t that Yinzhu was indifferent; he just didn’t have the time to bee closer with them for a more extended period.

He was pressed for time with many tasks yet to undertake.

With the support of both the Milan and Landias empires already secured, the timing of launching the holy war could now be scheduled.

As the future mander, what concerned Yinzhu the most were the several restrictions of the Abyssal Plane.

He had to urgently resolve these issues thoroughly to lead the Ryuzakinus Continent Allied Forces deep into the Abyssal Plane to realize his dream, permanently eliminate Ryuzakinus’s concerns, and also to avenge his ancestors.

Watching Yinzhu and his family disappear, Rui Qin’s eyes filled with a deep reluctance, murmuring to himself, “I wonder when I can see the teacher again.

His mastery of the zither is probably beyond my reach for a lifetime.

Sister, now I truly believe your descriptions about the teacher were not exaggerated at all.

He is indeed very powerful, like a bottomless abyss, inscrutable.”

Xiang Luan sighed lightly, “Is he really inscrutable?

Back then, how simple he was.

It was the pelling force of the world that made him bee what he is now.

I clearly understand why he told you not to get too involved with power.” (To be continued.
