It turned out that the person guarding this mountain gate was actually a goddess left in the ancient century. After communicating with her, we met her.

Her name is Paridea, and she is the daughter of the ancient god Nuwa and Emperor Manyang. When I heard that she was a descendant of God, I immediately asked her where her father and mother had gone. I thought that the species of gods would never disappear, but unfortunately, I still got from her that her mother Nuwa and Emperor Manyang had both turned into golden light and disappeared.

She also said that she was playing the piano to send off her father and mother to disappear.

But, one should be sad when one dies? Why should one send off two dead people to disappear from her eyes?

She said that people always disappear. The happiness of fathers and mothers is a big step forward for their progress. It is something worthy of being happy for their progress and celebrating them. They should play a song of happiness for them.

I only realized that death is a big step forward for people, not what we mortals think, the end of life!

Her words were so philosophical that in a moment, I changed my understanding of life and death. People in the world thought that the dead would die. Perhaps it was just that people were looking at life and death with the eyes of an ordinary spirit, and were always afraid of the demise of this life, so they did not actively realize that in the next life, in the space after death, there would be more exciting processes.

Death may be really people moving forward into an uncle, from the current narrow space, entering the next level, and in a wider space.

I was curious about her, and she was also curious about me. She said that after listening to my piano, she felt inexplicably sad, so she wanted to ask me for advice on why my piano sound made her feel unpleasant.

I said that I have been walking in the world since I was a child, and have seen too many joys, sorrows, separations and vicissitudes of the world. I have integrated these most vicissitudes into the sound of the piano, allowing the troubled emotions in the world to be used as notes, so that she can experience a kind of sorrow in the world through the sound of the piano.

I was also very curious about how her piano sound was so vast and invisible that I felt a vastness that seemed even greater than the world.

With curiosity, I began to observe her instrument carefully.

It turned out that she was playing the monostrous zither, using the legendary black and white divine vine that could support the heaven and earth. It is said that the divine vine was entangled in two forces released by the Golden Crow Emperor in the Heavenly Realm and the Manyang Emperor in the Earthly Realm. Among the eight directions of the heaven and earth, this divine vine is an extremely special existence.

The black and white divine vine was a magic weapon that supported the heaven and earth at that time. It was reasonable to produce such a loud sound. However, there were seven divine vines, why did they only use one divine vine to play?

Thinking of this, I asked her why she didn't just use all the seven divine vines to turn into a seven-stringed lyre. Wouldn't that be wider and more varied in the music? Is it because the other six divine vines are gone and cannot be found, so she had to use this divine vine to play?

She shook her head and told me that only one string is enough, too many are in the way.

She said, and began to demonstrate her talisman to me.

When she tightens the string, the sound becomes sharp and thin. When she relaxes the string, the sound becomes thick and dull, just as the Chinese people living in Asia say, one birth, two birth, two birth, and three births all things.

She used that string to evolve countless changing rhythms, interpreting the philosophy of "one birth, two, two birth, and three birth, and three births all things" as mentioned in the Chinese people. Just one string, she popped up the all-encompassing sound of heaven and earth. That string is the most perfect interpretation of the eight words "big sound, thin sound, and elephant invisible".

We met and hated each other in the wild, and we discussed the knowledge about music together. Her understanding of music is very unique, especially in the purity of music, I am no match for her at all, but in the understanding of worldly love, although she is a goddess, she is far less profound than the level I have reached. It can be said that even though she lives for a long time, she is not my match.

After seven days of discussion, we had a dispute over something. She said that the loud sound should be the most precious thing, and the sound should be gone and the meaning will be endless, thus expressing the elephant of the sky. This was based on her pure understanding of the world, and it was also the most essence of her music.

But I dare not agree with her point of view. I am exactly the opposite of her point of view. I said that big sounds should be the most important. Only when a hail-like noise can express the complex and unpredictable desires and vicissitudes of the world to the fullest, thus creating the ruthlessness of the earth.

The elephant in the sky and the ruthlessness of the earth are her and me, gods and mortals, with different understandings of this world.

What the gods saw was the vast sky because they stood high in the sky, but what the mortals saw was the cold earth. Because mortals lived in the earth and were oppressed by many worldly emotions like ants.

In now, I actually think that what we see is real. Whether it is vast or ruthless, these are the true nature of heaven and earth, they all exist, and they are different aspects of the world. But at that time, I and her both inspired a competitive spirit.

We both always want to convince each other to admit their views, which are better than each other's views.

There is no use in fighting in the cave, so I suggested to go outside the mountain to find someone to listen to our piano sound. We used the piano as a play to compete, and saw whether there were many people who were moved by her piano sound or my piano sound.

She accepted my suggestion and said that she would never come out of the mortals for thousands of years, but she really wanted to go to the mortal world with me to see what they like in the hearts of mortals.

In this way, we came to a place with many people outside the mountain. Both of us played the piano very well. The sound of the piano immediately attracted many people around us to stop and appreciate it.

We originally thought that there were about a hundred people listening to the piano and judging our level, but in fact, there were a hundred more people coming from afar. The feeling of spontaneous sound of the piano and the surrounding people listening to the piano sound is very wonderful.

Under the explanation of Ayu and Api, they spontaneously voted for the sound of our two pianos, believing that whoever plays the piano well, they will stand on whose side.
