CH 246

All the Presented Scholars present knew that the nine tones of the Guqin - odd, ancient, penetrating, quiet, moist, round, clear, even, and fragrant - each tone added to a War Song would increase its power by ten percent, and also imbue it with a special power. If all nine tones were present, it would cause the heavens and earth to change color.

"So this War Song has the 'penetrating' tone from the nine tones of the Guqin. No wonder, these soldiers are all transformed from the Guqin's sound, their attacks must also possess the 'penetrating' power. No wonder the attacks of those spears are so fierce."

"How old is he, and he's already dabbled in both the killing intent of autumn and winter and the nine tones of the Guqin? To my knowledge, one must at least reach the second realm of the Guqin to comprehend that level of killing intent and the nine tones of the Guqin. Could he really be omnipotent?"

"I admire Fang Yun... no, Master Fang, from the bottom of my heart! This is a War Song, how many War Songs have been composed since ancient times? War Songs are much more difficult to compose than War Poetry. Even masters of the fourth realm of the Guqin who serve in the army do so to compose War Songs, but even though they have composed them, their actual power is far less than those few famous songs that have been passed down for a long time. But the power of this 'General's Order' seems extraordinary."

"It's more than extraordinary. If we talk about the artistic conception of the Guqin, it's naturally far inferior to famous songs like 'Guangling San', but the war intent and heroism it contains are even above those famous songs. This song is not about Nie Zheng stabbing the King of Han in 'Guangling San', but about the army of a nation going to war."
