"How can it be?"
"A demon rescued us and many other mortals?"
"And he seems to have used some secret method that burns lifespan to kill the demon cultivator!"
More than a dozen immortal disciples looked at each other.
"Why?" The young man named Xu flew up and returned to Xu Sheng's side, looking at Xu Sheng with complicated eyes and asked.
After all, Xu Sheng suddenly showed up and kidnapped his wife and daughter to coerce him!
In his mind, he naturally regarded Xu Sheng as a somewhat strange bad monster.
"Your wife and daughter are..." Xu Sheng, who did not answer his question directly, told his wife because he was afraid that he would suddenly die of old age and that the wife and daughter of the young man named Xu would be trapped there. and the specific location of her daughter.
The young man named Xu was also stunned.
After talking about the location, Xu Sheng saw that he had not completely died of old age, so he said to the young man of the Xu family: "Let's go and find your wife and daughter."
While speaking, Xu Sheng, who felt that the power brought by his burning lifespan had not yet dissipated, reached out and grabbed the young man named Xu and flew away.
After a while, Xu Sheng took the young man named Xu to a cave in the mountains.
Not long after, the young man named Xu was reunited with his wife and daughter who were unharmed.
Seeing the happy appearance of their family of three, Xu Sheng just smiled and turned around to fly away.
"senior!"
The young man Xu Sheng shouted at Xu Sheng again in confusion from behind: "Why???"
He still didn't understand why Xu Sheng gave up his life to save these immortal disciples and mortals!
But Xu Sheng still didn't answer and just flew away.
Although Xu Sheng didn't have much life left to live, he didn't think anything of it.
Because the goal he should accomplish in this life has been accomplished.
After surviving the inner demon tribulation and meeting Mu Hongling, he originally planned to find a place to hide and practice until he died, and then be reincarnated in the next life and grow up before coming back to wake Mu Hongling.
Now encountering this demonic cultivator and burning your lifespan only speeds up the process of ending this life.
Xu Sheng even thought that there would be nothing wrong with dying early, reincarnating early, and being able to recognize Mu Hongling with a young appearance.
However, after thinking about it, Xu Sheng did not choose to find an uninhabited place to practice until he died of old age as he had previously thought.
After all, now that he is so old, he probably won't be able to practice for a few more years.
But in this world of cultivating immortals where people often practice for decades or even hundreds of years, it is difficult to achieve any results in just a few years.
Therefore, Xu Sheng felt that there was no need to use the remaining life span for cultivation.
He flew to another mortal country outside the Da'an Kingdom and disguised himself as an old mortal.
Prepare to enjoy a simple mortal life for a while and relax before you die of old age.
In the blink of an eye, it was another month later.
On this day, Xu Sheng came to an art building in the mortal kingdom called "Chun Yu Pavilion", which was dedicated to performing arts but not selling oneself.
The entertainment industry in this mortal country is no longer such a low-level trick of selling meat.
Mortals under the rule of the Immortal Sect will basically not die tragically in large numbers as long as they do not encounter special circumstances like the previous demonic cultivators' rebellion.
After all, there is no need for mortal countries to fight against each other.
This has resulted in the lives of countless mortals in mortal countries in the world of cultivating immortals being relatively peaceful and comfortable.
A peaceful and comfortable life will naturally make people pursue more spiritual life.
Therefore, cultural and entertainment activities became prosperous.
Therefore, the income of artists in the Mortal Kingdom is quite good.
Although there is no blessing of Internet communication like on Earth, the popular artists here do not receive the exaggerated treatment of "being regarded as stars" like on Earth.
However, there are already quite a few art studio owners who claim to be "showing off their art but not their body" and the market is quite willing to accept it.
Xu Sheng, who is already very old, just wants to drink some wine and listen to songs.
So he came to Chunyu Tower.
On this day, one of the top names in Chunyu Tower, "Miss Shishi," was playing the piano and singing to Xu Sheng.
However, Xu Sheng, who had been listening to it for a while, was tired of this kind of lyrics and music.
So Xu Sheng copied a song from the earth and handed it over and said: "Miss Shishi, I won't sing these today. I wrote a song with lyrics. Please sing this for me..."
Xu Sheng also didn't expect that a month had passed and he hadn't died of old age yet.
Suddenly remembering a song from Earth, he prepared to relive the old song.
Although it seems that the pop songs of the earth are not so suitable to be sung in this ancient mortal country environment.
But Xu Sheng, who is rich and willful, just wants to hear who can say what? He is not prepared to be liked by others but only prepared to enjoy himself.
"Hair like snow?"
Miss Shishi took the paper with the lyrics and music written on it, looked at it, and asked, "What kind of music is this? Did you compose it yourself, sir?"
However, Xu Sheng, who poured a glass of wine and drank it, did not answer.
Miss Shishi continued to read the paper.
"Why are these lyrics so... hmm? Popular?"
Then she frowned slightly and asked in astonishment: "Sir, are these lyrics really okay?"
Since Xu Sheng, who had spent a lot of money to listen to Miss Shishi sing ancient songs during this period, was usually very talkative, Miss Shishi was not too tactful when speaking at this time.
That's right.
The song Xu Sheng copied now is the song "Hair Like Snow" by Earth.
Simply because Xu Sheng suddenly wanted to hear it, he wrote it directly.
The song "Hair is Like Snow" is already an ancient song on earth, and its lyrics are relatively ancient in popular songs.
But in this ancient world of mortals who used to sing ancient lyrics and music such as "The Palace of Heaven and Earth", it seems to be a bit vernacular.
"You don't have to worry about it."
Xu Sheng waved his hands casually while continuing to drink and finally replied: "I want to hear it, just sing it!"
"Yes, sir."
Miss Shishi nodded when she heard this and said, "But..."
She said she needed some time to get familiar with the tunes!
Xu Sheng naturally agreed with this.
The status of a geisha like Shishi, who sells her skills in Chunyu Tower without selling her body, is already much better than that of a geisha who sells meat.
But after all, here is not like Earth, where the network amplifies the influence of artists hundreds of times, so that artists are naturally praised very highly.
Even if Miss Shishi is one of the top names, she still has to play piano music for wealthy guests like Xu Sheng.
A customer like Xu Sheng who is easy to talk to, wants to take advantage of others and is generous with his money is the good customer that girls like them like.
So even though Miss Shishi felt that the lyrics and music written by Xu Sheng were a bit strange, she still obediently started learning to sing.
Although the music scores in this world are not the kind of music notation on earth but are more ancient, Xu Sheng, as a cultivator who has lived for so many years, can naturally understand this kind of thing easily.
Therefore, the music scores written by Xu Sheng and other teachers can be directly understood by the teacher.
Then Miss Shishi looked at the paper and hummed softly:
[The lady in the wolf-moon moon is haggard
I raised my glass and drank up the wind and snow
...]
However, a simple verse of the verse cannot move the girl Shishi very much.
I saw her continue to hum and said:
【Prosperity is like three thousand east flowing water
I only take a scoop of love to understand...]
At this point, Miss Shishi's expression finally changed slightly.
Because she felt as if the lyrics and melody of this song were strange and strange that she had never seen before.
But at this time, it actually sounded a bit nice.
However, Miss Shishi did not stop, but continued to hum the chorus:
【...Your hair is like snow and your tears are flying.
Who am I waiting for to grow old?
The drunken years of the world of mortals
I will carve a monument of eternal love for you without regrets]
When she sang this part, Miss Shishi's eyes completely changed.
Of course, she still didn't say anything to Xu Sheng, but continued to hum the song several times.
"gentlemen!"
After that, Miss Shishi looked at Xu Sheng with slightly moist eyes and asked, "Did you write this song for your dead friend?"
After all, Xu Sheng, who was sitting in front of her, now had a head full of snow-white hair.
This had to make Miss Shishi have some imagination about this song called Fa Ruxue.
Xu Sheng took another sip of wine and looked at the teacher girl in front of him after hearing this.
At this time, he didn't know that Miss Shishi was deliberately pretending to be surprised and conquered to please his generous guest.
I still really think this earth-pop song with half-ancient and half-white lyrics is completely different from the ancient lyrics and music she has sung before.
"Just a song."
Xu Sheng, who was too lazy to delve into this, took another sip of wine and waved his hands and said, "If you've learned enough, then sing for me."
Miss Shishi just nodded when she heard this.
After a while she said that she had learned it well.
Then she sang the song "Hair Like Snow" to Xu Sheng over and over again with the accompaniment of the guqin.
Xu Sheng, who was lying there with his eyes closed and listening, suddenly felt that he was back on earth and clicked on the music player on the computer to play popular songs.
Yes, Miss Shishi at this time was just Xu Sheng's human music player who turned on the single loop mode.
The guzheng version of "Hair Like Snow" sounds pretty good.
But after listening for a while, Xu Sheng opened his eyes and suddenly found that there were several maids standing side by side by the wall in the room, listening intoxicatedly to the music and singing of Miss Shishi.
These maids who came in without permission were the staff who brought fresh fruits and vegetables, drinks and other things to Xu Sheng's private room.
It's just that they used to leave after delivering the things, but now they actually stay here and don't leave.
Xu Sheng couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this.
Unexpectedly, these maids also liked to listen.
When Xu Sheng closed his eyes before, he didn't use magic power to detect his surroundings.
After all, using mana to detect the surroundings may be noticed by immortal disciples who happen to be passing nearby.
Of course, when these maids saw Xu Sheng opening his eyes and looking over, they felt that it was not appropriate for so many people to stay here and wanted to leave.
Seeing this, Xu Sheng said it was okay and asked them if they also liked to hear it?
"Sir, are these lyrics and music written by you?"
"sounds amazing!"
"It's the first time we've heard such a strange song. Well, it's strange, but it's pretty good!"
The maids who could only do odd jobs in Chunyu Tower and serve Shishi, Miss Shi, and others because their appearance and figure were ordinary and therefore could not become artists, kept saying this.
"gentlemen!"
After hearing what the maids said, Miss Shishi looked thoughtful and then cautiously asked Xu Sheng: "My little lady has a merciless request, I don't know..."
Specifically, their industry is about to hold a conference.
The main thing is that Chunyu Tower and its competitors each send some girls to compete.
And Miss Shishi is one of the people who wants to represent Chunyu Tower in the competition.
Therefore, Miss Shishi wanted to use this song as one of the songs for her competition.
I hope to get the consent of Xu Sheng, the songwriter.
Of course she said she would definitely perform more than one show during the competition.
She has not yet decided to perform this song.
I just wanted to include this song as one of my backup shows.
"It doesn't matter. Just sing if you want."
When Xu Sheng heard this, he just waved his hands and said, "Keep singing for me."
"real?"
When the teacher heard this, she was overjoyed and said, "Thank you very much, sir."
In the blink of an eye, it was three months later.
Xu Sheng, who left Chunyu Tower and wandered around other places in the Mortal Kingdom but still did not die of old age, returned to Chunyu Tower again today.
"It's Mr. Xu!"
Unexpectedly, when the girls and servants in Chunyu Tower recognized Xu Sheng, they immediately boiled as if a giant explosive had been dropped.
The girls from Chunyu Tower even abandoned their own guests and rushed over to greet Xu Sheng warmly.
Xu Sheng couldn't help but be stunned at this time.
He had been generous in the past and had never received such treatment.
Of course, Xu Sheng soon learned that the reason was that Miss Shishi took the song he wrote to a competition and it actually became an instant hit right in the competition.
Miss Shishi, whose fame soared, immediately became the most popular Qingyi artist, and along with the entire Chunyu Tower, it became the most popular Qingyi Tower in the city.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour later.
Xu Sheng became the center of everyone's attention in Chunyu Tower!
Because Xu Sheng, under the entreaty of the enthusiastic Chunyulou girls, promised to play some more songs!
In fact, the main reason was that Xu Sheng wanted to change his music.
These girls are nothing more than Xu Sheng's ruthless human flesh players.
Xu Sheng copied many classic ancient pop songs from Earth in one breath under the attention of everyone.
"Blue and White Porcelain", "Chrysanthemum Terrace"... and other earth songs were copied one after another by Xu Sheng under the crowd's watch!
After becoming an immortal cultivator, Xu Sheng found that his memory was very good, and he could completely remember all the melodies and lyrics of the songs that Earth had heard.
"Seven steps to a song! As expected of Mr. Xu!"
"I actually wrote more than a dozen songs in one go!"
"It's too strong!"
"Although the lyrics are a bit popular, they all sound good!"
The girls in Chunyu Tower looked at the lyrics and music written by Xu Sheng and talked excitedly.
Even Sang Yu’s mother, Chunyu Lou’s strong woman mother with an unpredictable background, came out to maintain order at the scene.
Ordinary servants, guests, and even ordinary girls from Chunyu Tower were unable to approach Xu Sheng.
"[The sky is blue waiting for misty rain and I'm waiting for you!]... This sentence is so beautiful!"
"[The chrysanthemums are everywhere and your smile has turned yellow]... Isn't this too sad?"
“But most of the songs are sad!”
"What exactly happened to Mr. Xu?"
"He must have loved a certain girl back then!"
"Maybe something happened to the girl and she died! But the old gentleman never married because of her, and now he is still alone!"
The girls who can read lyrics and music all have tears in their eyes as they brainstorm wildly about themselves.
"Sing, girls, sing!"
"How about we also try Mr. Xu's new song!"
"Yeah, hurry up!"
The guests, who could only watch from a distance, were even more itchy.
However, Mother Yu stopped the girls from singing openly to the public.
After all, this is a huge business opportunity. If all the songs were leaked today, it would not be of that great benefit to Chunyu Tower.
So Yu's mother immediately asked the most popular girls in Chunyu Tower to enter the box with Xu Sheng and take turns singing to Xu Sheng.
Let’s see who sings which version of which song Xu Sheng likes more.
Xu Sheng, who just wanted to drink and listen to music, naturally did not resist these arrangements.
Unsurprisingly, these songs written by Xu Sheng became popular again due to Chunyulu's sales promotion.
As a result, Chunyu Tower's business is booming.
Therefore, Xu Sheng now comes to Chunyu Tower and gets the best treatment without having to pay at all.
Even Yu’s mother wanted to give Xu Sheng a lot of money to write more songs for them.
But Xu Sheng refused, not caring about the mundane money at all.
He writes songs just because he wants to listen to them.
Although Yu’s mother was disappointed, she didn’t force herself.
Xu Sheng didn't pay much attention to these trivial matters of song writing.
But what I didn't expect was that Ma Sang, the owner of another Qingyitou in the city called "Hongyu Tower", brought the girls in his building to find Xu Sheng.
She said that she would give Xu Sheng double the price to ask Xu Sheng to write some songs for Hongyulou.
"Sorry, I'm not in the mood!" Xu Sheng refused without hesitation.
But unexpectedly, a group of sturdy men stopped Xu Sheng at this time.
"Be polite first, then send troops. If you don't accept the gifts, then I will have no choice but to send troops!"
Mama Sang from Hongyulou waved her fan coquettishly with cold eyes and said: "Sir, I really want to make this friend with you. You write lyrics and music for us, and we will give you money! Isn't this great? Why not? To give face? Do you think so?"
"Ha ha ha ha."
At this time, Xu Sheng couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "Are you threatening me?"
"Old sir, we don't want to do anything to the old man!"
The burly masters under Ma Sang also said: "He who knows the current affairs is a hero!"
"Just you?"
Of course, with a wave of his hand, Xu Sheng's inner martial arts energy exploded and swept away all these big men. At the same time, he said: "Are you worthy of threatening me?"
This shocked everyone present who had never expected that a dying old man like Xu Sheng could be so strong in martial arts. Their pupils shrank in shock.
"Don't mess with me again!"
But Xu Sheng just put his hands behind his back and said: "This is a warning to you! If you mess with me next time, you will die!"
While speaking, Xu Sheng's inner martial arts energy condensed into a vague palm and slapped the mamasang in Hongyulou's face. The mamasang flew up in the air and spun around three times before falling to the ground in embarrassment.
Xu Sheng originally thought that this matter was over.
But what Xu Sheng didn't expect was that this ancient entertainment company called Hongyulou didn't listen to his warning.
The next day, Xu Sheng came to Chunyu Tower again and ordered the Shishi brand human flesh music player and was listening to the music leisurely when a group of people dressed in police uniforms swarmed in and said they wanted to arrest Xu Sheng.
The crime was that Xu Sheng had injured the servants of Hongyulou before.
Shishi couldn't help but feel a little worried and the girls from Chunyu Tower immediately informed Yu's mother.
Mother Yu can open Chunyu Tower, so it’s impossible for there to be no one behind her!
"This Hongyu Tower is so shameless!"
Mother Yu said to Xu Sheng: "Sir, don't worry, although you are from out of town, you are a distinguished guest of our Chunyu Tower..."
"It doesn't matter. No need for you to take action."
Of course, at this time, Xu Sheng shook his head, interrupted Mother Yu's words and said with a chuckle: "These ants offend me, I can punish them myself!"
Everyone in Chunyu Tower couldn't help but be stunned when they heard Xu Sheng's words.
"gentlemen!"
Yu’s mother said quickly: “I know that you are very strong in martial arts, but it’s very difficult to fight against the government...”
But as soon as Yu Mama said this, Xu Sheng's mana surged out and suppressed all the mortal agents, causing them to kneel on the ground one by one.
The sight of all the police officers kneeling down on the floor made Yu's mother and Miss Shishi goosebumps looking at each other.
"Hongyulou, since you can't listen to my warning, you are seeking death. I will help you!"
And Xu Sheng's voice, which spoke again, spread directly as the mana surged.
"Buzz!"
With two vibrations of mana.
Xu Sheng's mana directly absorbed the mamasang of Hongyulou who was watching a play hiding in a pavilion a few hundred meters away, and the middle-aged noble man behind her.
"Hoo ho ho!"
Then Mamasang and the noble middle-aged man were captured and flew into the air in front of Chunyu Tower.
"How is it possible? Is this mana?"
"Then Mr. Xu is an immortal cultivator?"
"This, this, this?"
Countless girls from Chunyu Tower, servants and guests were all shocked again.
"Spare your life, old gentleman, spare your life!" Mama Sang from Hongyulou begged for mercy with her face pale and her whole body trembling.
"You are crazy. How dare you use magic to interfere with the secular world?" The noble middle-aged man said in a loud voice: "Are you going to violate the rules of the immortal sect?!"
"Don't you dare kill me! Once you kill me, you will completely violate the immortal rules!" He said sternly: "There are ancestors in my family who are on duty in the immortal sect. I know the immortal rules very well! I advise you to turn around and let go now. We haven’t violated the immortal rules yet!”
Countless people outside Chunyu Tower couldn't help but hold their breaths as they witnessed this scene.
Everyone in Chunyu Tower was waiting with bated breath for Xu Sheng's choice.
"You are right, but others are afraid, but I am not!"
Listening to the middle-aged man's words, Xu Sheng just drank and laughed and said: "So what if magic interferes with the secular world? So what if it violates the rules of the immortal sect? I'm already so old, you actually think I don't Dare to kill you? Ridiculous!"
After hearing Xu Sheng's words, the noble middle-aged man suddenly turned pale and his eyes were frightened.
But don't wait for him to say anything to beg for mercy.
He and Mama Sang of Hongyulou had both been crushed into two bloody balls by Xu Sheng's magic power.
"ah……"
"ah……"
The two of them only had time to let out two short screams before they died completely.
All the mortals inside and outside Chunyu Tower were completely shocked when they heard the screams.
"Girls, our destiny is over!"
At this time, Xu Sheng took another sip of wine, then stood up and said with a smile: "Let's say goodbye!"
Then the magic power shook his body, soaring into the sky in Chunyu Tower, and soon disappeared in the sky.
Although Xu Sheng is already very old and is not afraid of death at all.
But after all, using magic power to kill mortals in the street violated the rules of the Wanxian Sect.
The strong men from Wanxian Sect will definitely come to hunt him down.
He was not afraid of death and did not want to hurt the disciples of Wanxian Sect, so he could only leave immediately. Xu Sheng had heard enough.
The entire Chunyu Tower was silent for the first few minutes after Xu Sheng left.
Everyone was in shock for a moment and could not recover.
It seemed like a scene from a TV series that had been paused.
After a while, the pause seemed to be cancelled, and then heated discussions broke out.
Naturally, these mortals couldn't see that Xu Sheng's origin in this life was a demon body.
In their eyes, those who have magical power and have humanoid bodies are classified as immortal cultivators.
"What? That old gentleman is actually a cultivator of immortality and has such powerful magic power!"
"So the songs we sang before were actually composed by immortals?"
"Why do I say it sounds so special and nice!"
"I didn't expect it to be a fairy song."
Everyone was shocked and added a layer of filter to the songs.
After leaving Chunyu Tower, Xu Sheng was not stopped by the strong men of Wanxian Sect.
Xu Sheng, who directly relied on the Great No-Phase Technique to escape tracking, came to a cave deep in the mountains.
During this time, he was tired of playing in the Mortal Kingdom and no longer chose to wander around the Mortal Kingdom.
He planned to practice until he died and then return to Wanxian Mountain to find Mu Hongling when his twelfth life began.
In the blink of an eye, it was another three years.
Xu Sheng died of old age in the cave that day.
Xu Sheng's consciousness fell into a deep sleep again as he listened to the beep from the Book of Eternals.
But in the Chunyu Tower in the mortal kingdom, it was a different scene.
Because of Xu Sheng's release on that day three years ago, these two songs were full of legend, and people put songs like "Fa Ruxue" and "Blue and White Porcelain" under the filter of fairy lyrics and fairy tunes.
Therefore, it became very popular not only in a few local cities but even in the entire Mortal Kingdom and other mortals.
Many wealthy mortals from other mortal countries have traveled long distances just to listen to the music here.
This made Chunyu Tower's business much more prosperous than before.
Although the noble middle-aged man was killed by Xu Sheng before entering Chunyu Tower that day.
But Chunyu Tower, which also has the support of people from the yamen, will naturally not collapse because of this matter.
On the contrary, Miss Shishi and others have become the most popular artists in the contemporary era.
In the blink of an eye, it will be another thousand years later.
It is of no use to Shishi and other Chunyulu girls no matter how popular they are when they are still alive.
Because they have all disappeared and turned into loess in the passage of time.
Only the songs written by Xu Sheng are still circulated in various mortal countries.
And on this day, Xu Sheng's consciousness woke up again with another successful reincarnation on a high mountain covered with white clouds far away from Chunyu Tower!
