"How is that possible?"
"A demon saved us and many mortals?"
"And he seemed to have used some secret method to burn his lifespan to kill that demon cultivator!"
A dozen disciples from the immortal sect looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Why?" The young man surnamed Xu flew back to Xu Sheng and asked with complicated eyes.
After all, Xu Sheng suddenly appeared and kidnapped his wife and daughter to threaten him!
In his heart, he naturally thought of Xu Sheng as a somewhat strange evil monster.
"Your wife and daughter are..." However, Xu Sheng did not answer his question directly. He was afraid that he would die suddenly of old age, causing the young man's wife and daughter to be trapped there, so he told the young man the specific location of his wife and daughter.
The young man surnamed Xu was also stunned.
After telling the location, Xu Sheng realized that he was not completely dead yet, so he said to the young man of the Xu family: "Let's go, go find your wife and daughter."
While speaking, Xu Sheng felt that the power brought by his burning lifespan had not yet dissipated, so he simply reached out and grabbed the young man named Xu and flew away.
After a while, Xu Sheng brought the young man named Xu to a cave deep in the mountains.
Not long after, the young man surnamed Xu was reunited with his wife and daughter who were unharmed.
Xu Sheng looked at the happy face of the family of three and just smiled slightly before turning around and flying away.
"senior!"
And the young man Xu Sheng shouted at Xu Sheng again in confusion from behind: "Why???"
He still didn't understand why Xu Sheng was willing to sacrifice his own life to save them, the immortal disciples and mortals!
However, Xu Sheng still did not answer and just flew away.
Although Xu Sheng didn't have much time left to live, he didn't think it was a big deal.
Because he has already accomplished the goals he was supposed to accomplish in this life.
After overcoming his inner demons and meeting Mu Hongling, he had originally planned to find a place to hide and practice until he died of old age, wait for his reincarnation in the next life, and come back to wake Mu Hongling up when he grew up.
Now that I have encountered this evil cultivator and burned my life span, it has only accelerated the process of the end of this life.
Xu Sheng even felt that there would be nothing wrong in dying earlier, reincarnating earlier, and being able to meet Mu Hongling earlier with a younger face.
However, after thinking it over, Xu Sheng did not choose to find an uninhabited place to practice until death as he had previously thought.
After all, he is so old now and he probably won't be able to practice for a few more years.
However, in this world of cultivating immortals where one may 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 to practice.
He flew to another mortal country outside Da'an Kingdom and disguised himself as an old mortal man.
Prepare to enjoy a simple mortal life for a while, relax yourself, and then die of old age.
In the blink of an eye, another month passed.
That day Xu Sheng came to an art house in the mortal kingdom called "Chunyu Tower" where people performed art but not their bodies.
The entertainment industry in this mortal country is no longer just a low-level sex trade.
The mortals under the rule of the Immortal Sect would basically not suffer tragic mass deaths unless they encountered special situations like the previous rebellion by the demon cultivators.
After all, there is no need for countries mortal to fight against each other.
This has led to the fact that the lives of countless mortals in the mortal world of the immortal cultivation world are relatively peaceful and comfortable.
A peaceful and comfortable life will naturally make people pursue more spiritual life.
Therefore, cultural and entertainment activities became prosperous.
As a result, artists in the Mortal Kingdom have a pretty good income.
Although there is no Internet communication like on Earth, the popular artists here do not receive the same exaggerated "star-chasing" treatment as on Earth.
However, there are already quite a few art studios that focus on "selling art but not selling oneself" and the market is quite receptive to this.
Xu Sheng, who is already very old, just wants to drink a little wine and listen to some music.
So he came to Chunyu Tower.
On this day, one of the top girls in Chunyu Tower, Miss Shishi, was playing the piano and reciting a song for Xu Sheng.
However, after listening to this kind of lyrics and music for a while, Xu Sheng got tired of it.
So Xu Sheng copied a song from Earth and handed it over, saying, "Miss Shishi, we won't sing these songs today. I wrote a song and music for you to sing..."
Xu Sheng didn't expect that a month had passed and he still hadn't died of old age.
Suddenly remembering a song from Earth, he decided to revisit the old song.
Although the Earth's popular songs seem a little inappropriate to be sung in this environment that is similar to the ancient mortal world.
But Xu Sheng, who is rich and willful, just wants to hear what others can say. He is not prepared to make others like him, but just to enjoy himself.
"Hair like snow?"
Miss Shishi took the paper with the lyrics and music written on it, looked at it and asked in a daze, "What kind of song is this? Did you compose it yourself, sir?"
However, Xu Sheng poured himself a glass of wine and drank it without answering.
Miss Shishi continued to read the paper.
"Why are these lyrics a bit... um? Common?"
Then she frowned slightly and asked in surprise, "Sir, are lyrics like this really okay?"
Since Xu Sheng, who had spent quite a lot of money to listen to Miss Shishi singing ancient music during this period, was usually quite easy to talk to, Miss Shishi did not speak too smoothly at this time.
That's right.
The song that Xu Sheng copied now is "Hair Like Snow" by Earth.
It was simply because Xu Sheng suddenly wanted to listen to it that he wrote it down.
The song "Hair Like Snow" is already an ancient song on Earth and its lyrics are relatively ancient and rhythmic among pop songs.
But in this mortal country of the ancient immortal cultivation world where people used to sing ancient lyrics and songs like "Palaces in Heaven and Earth", it seems a bit like vernacular.
"Don't worry about it."
Xu Sheng continued to drink while casually waving his hands and finally replied: "I want to listen, just sing it!"
"Yes, sir."
Miss Shishi nodded and said, "But..."
She said she needed some time to get familiar with the tune!
Xu Sheng naturally agreed to this.
The status of an artist like Miss Shishi who performs in Chunyu Tower but does not sell her body is much better than that of a geisha who sells her body.
But after all, here is not like Earth where we have the Internet to amplify the influence of artists by hundreds, thousands, or even millions of times, so that the artists are naturally praised very highly.
Even though Miss Shishi was one of the top performers, she still had to play the piano and music for wealthy guests like Xu Sheng.
Customers like Xu Sheng who are easy to talk to, have no lecherous intentions and are generous are the good customers that these girls like.
So even though Miss Shishi felt that the lyrics and music written by Xu Sheng were a bit strange, she still obediently started to learn to sing.
Although the music scores in this world are not the five-line scores on Earth but are more ancient, Xu Sheng, as a cultivator who has lived for so many years, naturally understands this kind of thing easily.
Therefore, Miss Shishi could directly understand the music scores written by Xu Sheng at this time.
Then Miss Shishi looked at the paper and hummed softly:
[Wolf Tooth Moon Beauty is Haggard
I drank up the snowstorm
……】
However, a simple short section of the main song was not enough to move Miss Shishi.
She continued to hum:
【Prosperity is like three thousand east-flowing waters
I only take a scoop of love to understand...]
When she sang to this point, Miss Shishi's expression finally changed slightly.
Because she felt that both the lyrics and the melody of this song were strange and she had never seen them before.
But at this moment, I actually felt that it sounded quite nice.
However, Miss Shishi did not stop, but continued to hum the chorus:
[…Your hair is like snow, tears are flying
Who am I waiting for when I grow old?
The years of being drunk in the world
I will carve a monument of eternal love for you with no regrets]
When humming this part, Miss Shishi's eyes changed completely.
Of course she still didn't say anything to Xu Sheng, but continued to hum the song several times.
"gentlemen!"
Then Miss Shishi looked at Xu Sheng with slightly moist eyes and asked, "Did you write this song for your deceased friend?"
After all, Xu Sheng, who was sitting in front of her, now had a head full of snow-white hair.
This made Miss Shishi think about the song called "Hair Like Snow".
After taking another sip of wine, Xu Sheng looked at Miss Shishi in front of him.
At this time, he didn't know that Miss Shishi was deliberately pretending to be surprised and conquered in order to please him, a generous guest.
I still really think that this earth pop song with half ancient and half vernacular lyrics, which is completely different in style from the ancient lyrics she sang before, is nice to listen to.
“It’s just a song.”
Xu Sheng didn't bother to think about it any further. He took another sip of wine and waved his hand, saying, "Now that you've learned it, sing it for me."
Miss Shishi just nodded when she heard this.
After a while she said 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 lay there with his eyes closed and listened, feeling as if he had returned to Earth. He opened the music player on his computer and was playing popular songs.
Yes, at this time Miss Shishi was just a human music player with Xu Sheng turning on the single-song loop mode.
The Guzheng version of "Fa Ruxue" sounds pretty good.
However, after listening for a while, Xu Sheng opened his eyes and suddenly found that there were several more maids in the room, standing side by side by the wall with their ears perked up, listening to Miss Shishi's piano and singing with rapt attention.
These maids did not come in without permission. They were the staff who delivered fresh fruits and vegetables, drinks and other things to Xu Sheng's room.
It’s just that before they would just leave after delivering the things, but now they are staying here and won’t leave.
Xu Sheng was stunned when he saw this.
I didn't expect that the maids also liked to listen to it.
Before, when Xu Sheng closed his eyes, he did not use his magic power to detect the surroundings.
After all, using magic power to detect the surroundings might be noticed by disciples of the immortal sect who happened to pass by nearby.
Of course, when the maids saw Xu Sheng open his eyes and look at them, 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 liked to listen to it too.
"Sir, did you write this song?"
“It sounds so good!”
"This is the first time we've heard such a strange song. Well, although it's strange, it's pretty nice!"
Several maids, who were unable to become artists due to their ordinary looks and figures and could only do odd jobs in Chunyu Tower and serve Shishi Girl and others, kept saying this.
"gentlemen!"
After hearing what the maids said, Miss Shishi looked thoughtful and asked Xu Sheng cautiously, "I have an unwelcome request, may I know..."
Specifically, she said that their industry was about to hold a conference.
The main thing is that Chunyu Tower and its competitors each sent some girls to compete.
And Miss Shishi is one of the people who will represent Chunyu Tower in the competition.
Therefore, Miss Shishi wanted to use this song as one of the tracks for her competition.
I hope to get the consent of the songwriter Xu Sheng.
Of course she said she would definitely perform more than one show during the competition.
She hasn't decided yet whether she must perform this song.
Just wanted to include this song as one of the alternatives.
"It doesn't matter. Just sing if you want to."
Xu Sheng just waved his hand and said, "Continue singing for me."
"real?"
Miss Shishi was overjoyed when she heard this and said, "Thank you, sir."
In the blink of an eye, it was three months later.
After leaving Chunyu Tower and traveling around other places in the mortal world but still alive, Xu Sheng returned to Chunyu Tower that day.
"It's Mr. Xu!"
Unexpectedly, when all the girls and servants in Chunyu Tower recognized Xu Sheng, they immediately became excited as if a huge explosive was thrown into them.
The girls from Chunyu Tower even left their guests behind and rushed over to warmly welcome Xu Sheng.
Xu Sheng couldn't help but be stunned at this moment.
Although he had been generous in the past, he had never received such treatment.
Of course Xu Sheng soon found out that the reason was that Miss Shishi had entered the song he wrote into a competition and it actually became an instant hit in the competition.
Miss Shishi's fame soared and she became the most popular Qingyi artist, and the entire Chunyu Tower became the most popular Qingyi building in the city.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.
Xu Sheng became the center of attention of everyone in Chunyu Tower!
Because under the enthusiastic request of the girls from Chunyu Tower, Xu Sheng agreed to sing a few more songs!
In fact, it was mainly because Xu Sheng himself wanted to listen to a different song.
These girls are nothing more than Xu Sheng's ruthless human players.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xu Sheng copied many classic ancient pop songs from Earth in one breath.
"Blue and White Porcelain", "**Taiwan" and many other Earth songs were copied out one after another by Xu Sheng in front of the crowd!
After becoming an immortal cultivator, Xu Sheng discovered that his memory was very good. He could remember all the melodies and lyrics of the songs he had ever heard on Earth.
"Seven steps to a song! As expected of Mr. Xu!"
“He actually wrote more than a dozen poems in one breath!”
“Too strong!”
“Although the lyrics are a little vulgar, they are all nice to listen to!”
The girls in Chunyu Tower looked at the lyrics and music written by Xu Sheng and discussed them excitedly.
Even Sang Yu, the strong woman with an unpredictable background in Chunyu Tower, came out to maintain order at the scene.
Ordinary servants, guests and even ordinary girls from Chunyu Tower could not approach Xu Sheng.
“[The sky is blue and waiting for the rain, and I am waiting for you!]…This sentence is so beautiful!”
"[Your smile has turned yellow, and you are covered in wounds]...Isn't this too sad?"
“But most of the songs are sad!”
"What on earth did Mr. Xu go through?"
"He must have loved some girl!"
"Maybe something happened to that girl and she died! And the old man never married for her, and now he is still alone!"
The girls who could read the lyrics and music had tears in their eyes as they imagined the whole thing crazily.
"Sing, girls, sing!"
"Let's also try Mr. Xu's new music!"
"Yeah, hurry up!"
The guests who could only watch from afar were already itching to try it out.
However, Mother Yu spoke up and stopped the girls from singing in public.
After all, this is a huge business opportunity. If all the songs were leaked today, it would not be that beneficial to Chunyu Tower.
So Mother Yu immediately asked the most popular girls in Chunyu Tower to enter the box with Xu Sheng and take turns singing for Xu Sheng.
See who Xu Sheng likes singing which version of which song.
Xu Sheng, who just wanted to drink and listen to music, naturally did not resist these arrangements.
As expected, the songs written by Xu Sheng became popular again due to Chunyulou's teasing marketing.
As a result, Chunyu Tower’s business is booming.
Therefore, Xu Sheng now receives the best treatment when he comes to Chunyu Tower and does not have to pay at all.
Even Yu's mother wanted to give Xu Sheng a lot of money so that he would write a few more songs for them.
However, Xu Sheng didn't care about these worldly money at all and refused.
He writes songs just because he wants to listen to them.
Although Mother Yu was disappointed, she didn't force it.
Xu Sheng didn't take these little things about songwriting to heart.
However, what was unexpected was that this led the madam of another Qingyi Hall in the city called "Hongyu Tower" to bring the girls in her building to find Xu Sheng.
She said she would pay Xu Sheng double the price and ask him to write some songs for Hongyulou.
"Sorry, I'm not in the mood!" Xu Sheng refused without hesitation.
But unexpectedly, a group of burly men stopped Xu Sheng at this time.
"First courtesy, then force. If you don't accept courtesy, then I can only use force!"
The mama-san of Hongyu Tower looked slightly cold and waved her fan coquettishly, saying, "Sir, I really want to be your friend. You write lyrics and music for us, and we give you money! Isn't this great? Why not give me face? Don't you agree?"
"Ha ha ha ha."
At this time, Xu Sheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Are you threatening me?"
"Old man, we don't want to do anything to the elderly!"
The burly masters under the mama-san also said: "He who knows the current situation is a hero!"
"Just you guys?"
Of course, Xu Sheng waved his hand and his martial arts inner strength exploded, sweeping all the big men away. He said, "You are worthy of threatening me?"
This shocked everyone present, as they had never expected that an old man like Xu Sheng, who was about to die, had such strong martial arts skills. Their pupils contracted in shock.
"Don't mess with me again!"
Xu Sheng just put his hands behind his back and said, "This is a warning to you! If you mess with me again, you will die!"
While speaking, Xu Sheng's internal martial arts energy condensed into a vague palm and slapped the mama-san of Hongyu Tower in the face, causing the mama-san to fly into the air and spin three times before landing in a mess.
Originally Xu Sheng thought that the matter was over.
But what Xu Sheng didn't expect was that this ancient entertainment company called Hongyulou did not heed his warning.
The next day, Xu Sheng came to Chunyu Tower again and ordered a Shishi-brand human music player. While he was listening to music leisurely, a group of people dressed as detectives swarmed in and said they wanted to arrest Xu Sheng.
The crime was that Xu Sheng had previously beaten the servants of Hongyu Tower.
Shishi and the other girls from Chunyu Tower couldn't help but feel a little worried and immediately notified Mother Yu.
If Mother Rain could open Chunyu Tower, there must be someone behind her!
"This Hongyu Tower is simply shameless!"
Mother Yu said to Xu Sheng: "Don't worry, sir. Although you are from another place, you are a distinguished guest of our Chunyu Tower..."
"It's alright. You don't need to do anything."
Of course, Xu Sheng shook his head and interrupted Mother Yu's words, chuckling and saying, "If these ants provoke me, I can punish them myself!"
Everyone in Chunyu Tower was stunned when they heard Xu Sheng's words.
"gentlemen!"
Mother Yu said quickly: "I know you are a martial arts expert, but it is not good to go against the government..."
However, as soon as Mother Yu said this, Xu Sheng's magic power surged out and directly suppressed all the mortal detectives, making them kneel on the ground one by one.
The scene of the constables kneeling down in unison gave Mama Yu and Miss Shishi goosebumps.
"Hongyulou, since you won't listen to my warning, you are seeking death. I will grant your wish!"
And Xu Sheng's voice, who spoke again, spread out directly with the surge of magic power.
“Buzz!”
Followed by two shocks of magic power.
Xu Sheng's magical power directly absorbed the madam of Hongyu Tower and the middle-aged man behind her who were hiding in a pavilion a few hundred meters away and watching the show.
“Hoo, hoo, hoo!”
Afterwards, the Mama-Sang and the noble middle-aged man were captured and flown into the air in front of Chunyu Tower.
"How is this possible? Is this magic power?"
"Then Mr. Xu is a cultivator?"
“This this this?”
Countless girls, servants and guests in Chunyu Tower were shocked once again.
"Please spare me, old sir, please spare me!" The mama-san of Hongyu Tower begged for mercy with a pale face and trembling body.
"You are crazy! How dare you use your magic power to interfere with the mortal world?" The noble middle-aged man said in a loud voice, "Are you going to violate the immortal sect's rules?!"
"You dare not kill me! If you kill me, it will be a complete violation of the immortal rules!" He said sternly: "My ancestors have served in the immortal gate, I know the immortal rules very well! I advise you to turn back, and letting us go now will not be considered a violation of the immortal rules!"
Countless people outside Chunyu Tower couldn't help but hold their breath as they witnessed this scene.
Everyone in Chunyu Tower was waiting with bated breath for Xu Sheng's choice.
"You're right, but others are afraid, but I'm not!"
Xu Sheng just drank and laughed while listening to the middle-aged man's words: "So what if the magic power interferes with the mortal world? So what if it violates the immortal sect's immortal rules? I'm already so old, and you still think I dare not kill you? Ridiculous!"
Hearing Xu Sheng's words, the middle-aged nobleman turned pale and looked terrified.
But he didn't wait for him to say anything to beg for mercy.
He and the madam of Hongyu Tower were directly crushed into two balls of blood rain 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 again when they heard the screams.
"Girls, it's over!"
At this time, Xu Sheng took another big sip of wine, stood up and said with a smile: "Goodbye!"
Then, with a burst of magical power, his body soared into the sky in Chunyu Tower and soon disappeared into the sky.
Although Xu Sheng is very old, he is not afraid of death at all.
But after all, using magic power to kill mortals in the street violates the rules of Wanxianmen.
The strong men from Wanxianmen will definitely come to hunt him down.
He was not afraid of death and did not want to hurt the disciples of Wanxianmen, so he had to 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 couldn't recover.
It was like a scene from a paused TV show.
After a while, the pause seemed to be canceled and a heated discussion broke out.
Naturally, these mortals cannot see that Xu Sheng's origin in this life is a demon.
In their eyes, anyone who has magical powers and a human body is considered a cultivator.
"What? That old man is actually a cultivator and his magic power is so strong!"
"So those songs we sang before were actually composed by immortals?"
"I wonder why it is so special and beautiful!"
"I didn't expect it to be a fairy song."
All the mortals were shocked and added another layer of filter to the songs.
After leaving Chunyu Tower, Xu Sheng was not stopped by the strong men from Wanxianmen.
Xu Sheng, who had escaped from pursuit by relying on the Great Invisibility Technique, came to a cave deep in the mountains.
He was tired of playing in the Mortal Kingdom during this period and no longer chose to travel there.
He planned to practice until he died of old age and then returned to Wanxian Mountain to find Mu Hongling at the beginning of his twelfth life.
In the blink of an eye, three years passed.
That day Xu Sheng died of old age in the cave.
Listening to the reminder sound of Wanshishu, Xu Sheng fell asleep again.
But in the Chunyu Tower in the mortal world, the scene was quite different.
Because of Xu Sheng's contribution on that day three years ago, these two songs have become full of legendary colors and everyone has given songs like "Fa Ru Xue" and "Qing Hua Ci" the filter of fairy lyrics and music.
Therefore, it became popular not only in several local cities but also in the entire mortal country and other mortals.
Many wealthy mortals from other mortal countries even traveled long distances just to come here to listen to the music.
This made Chunyu Tower's business much more popular than before.
Although the noble middle-aged man was killed by Xu Sheng before arriving at Chunyu Tower that day.
However, Chunyu Tower, which has the support of people from the government, will naturally not be defeated because of this incident.
On the contrary, Miss Shishi and others have become the most popular artists of the contemporary era.
In the blink of an eye, another thousand years passed.
It was useless for Shishi and other girls from Chunyu Tower to be so popular when they were alive.
Because they have all disappeared and turned into earth in the passage of time.
Only the songs written by Xu Sheng are still circulated among the mortal countries.
And on this day, Xu Sheng regained consciousness on a high mountain surrounded by white clouds far away from Chunyu Tower after another successful reincarnation!
