Chapter 1438: Chapter 1184: A Song That Captures an Entire Book

Xian Yu’s blog comment section.

“A song related to ‘Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils’!?”

“Looking forward to it!”

“Looks like they didn’t have a falling out. Fish Papa obviously read the book; otherwise, he couldn’t have written the song.”

“Hahaha.”

“It’s just a joke. These two have such a good relationship that there’s no chance of a falling out. The old rascal probably wrote it that way on purpose, playing some mischief in the book to tease Xian Yu.”

“Old rascal’s fans reporting in!”

“Add me to the group above, waiting for Fish Papa’s new song!”

“Don’t talk nonsense, where did the old rascal get fans? You’re definitely supporting Master Lu!”

“Go, Master Lu!”

“The world of ‘Tianlong’ is so grand; can Fish Papa’s song capture this world’s charm?”

“Listen to the songs Fish Papa wrote for ‘The Legend of the Condor Heroes’ trilogy, and you’ll have your answer.”

“No one understands Chu Kuang better than Fish Papa!”

The top Maestro of Blue Star writing a song for ‘Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils’—this news naturally has significant buzz, not to mention the songwriter is the esteemed Xian Yu, who is as famous as Chu Kuang and has a good relationship. Everyone is eagerly anticipating it, and even Chu Kuang’s fans are flooding in.

Fans from both sides are quite familiar with each other.

Visiting each other’s spaces is quick and easy.

As for Chu Kuang and Xian Yu having a falling out?

That’s just friendly fan teasing; no one takes it seriously.

It’s like the usual martial arts setup of Southern Murong and Northern Qiao Feng.

Just like the Five Greats setup in ‘The Legend of the Condor Heroes’ trilogy, it’s following the same path.

…

Arrangement.

Vocals.

Production.

Lin Yuan and the Starlight staff worked tirelessly through the night and the next day to finally complete the recording of “A Hard Scripture to Read.”

Afterwards.

All major music players successively introduced the song’s audio source, arranging the most prominent recommendations to promote it. A top Maestro gets this treatment.

In the evening.

Lin Yuan once again logged into Xian Yu’s account to update the promotional dynamic: “The new song ‘A Hard Scripture to Read’ has been released. This song will serve as the theme song for the ‘Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils’ TV series. Hope you all like it.”

Below the dynamic was an image.

This image was the cover of the novel ‘Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.’

Instantly.

Netizens who had started anticipating since yesterday immediately opened the music player, only to see the cover promotion at first glance.

Swish, swish, swish!

The song’s play count rapidly soared!

This is the dual allure of Chu Kuang and Xian Yu!

Just in time for the lively discussion around ‘Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils’ across the web, this song’s emergence sparked overwhelming enthusiasm in countless people!

…

Qin Continent.

A university dormitory.

Students gathered around a computer.

“Xian Yu’s new song for ‘Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils’ is out!”

“I’ve just finished reading the novel. Let’s see how the song compares. Is it sung by a Yu Dynasty singer again?”

“It’s Xian Yu singing it himself this time!”

“Jeff, just turn up the speakers today; I won’t complain about disturbing neighbors, just blast it straight!”

Everyone’s spirits were lifted!

Most of Xian Yu’s songs are performed by Yu Dynasty singers.

There aren’t many he sings himself.

And the ones he chooses to sing are all classics among classics!

…

Qi Continent.

A subway station.

A young man put on headphones.

“Laugh at us for foolishly wasting efforts.”

“Chasing the beauty of the illusory mirror.”

“Fear that luck will vanish in an instant.”

“Obsessed with desires, anger, and joy.”

Such exquisite lines aren’t about romanticism but rather advise people not to chase after the fleeting beauty of illusions.

Love and hate.

Just passing smoke.

Listening to the song, the young man slightly opened his mouth, as if countless emotions were crazily surging in his eyes.

…

Chu Continent.

An office.

Many employees suddenly and silently wore Bluetooth headsets.

“Blame us for craving fame and power.”

“Blame the earth’s allure to all beings.”

“Regret for being too rigid with promises and oaths.”

“For the joy of loves, sorrows, grievances, and jealousy, enamored.”

In Buddhist scriptures, it’s said that people have seven hardships: birth, aging, illness, death, meeting with hatred, parting from love, and seeking unfulfilled desires.

All these various afflictions are illusions that bind the world.

All the pain, grievances, hesitation, and despair of the people are caused by these seven hardships.

The employees in the company seemed to feel something, glanced at each other, and then continued to listen, each with different expressions.

…

Yan Continent.

A certain café.

A young couple shared headphones.

“Aha, reluctant to leave this brilliant world.”

“Aha, unable to escape the sweetness of passion.”

“Aha, can’t find a substitute for beauty.”

“Aha, a lifetime of contemplation can’t unravel this difficult problem!”

Ancient-style brush strokes, the essence of Zen naturally emerges, this is truly a grand and ancient composition!

The couple leaned into each other, their gazes gradually turned sad. They have read this novel.

And those who have read this book will resonate strongly with the lyrics.

At this moment, the song reached its climax!

…

Zhao Continent.

A certain dim bedroom.

A middle-aged man wearing glasses was holding “Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils,” reading it, while the bold song sounded in his ears.

“Swallowing the wind and kissing the rain, buried under the sunset, never hesitating.”

“Deceiving mountains, chasing seas, breaking snow paths, never despairing.”

“Plucking flowers and toasting wine, striking down the extreme of human emotions.”

“Even with these two eyes and a hundred arms or a thousand hands, you can’t defend!”

The middle-aged man suddenly stood up, not knowing what he thought of, his expression full of sorrow.

Even though I have the skill to swallow the wind, kiss the rain, and bury the sunset, and the ability to deceive mountains, chase seas, and break snow paths, I would still be thwarted by the word ’emotion’ when plucking flowers and toasting wine.

Even if you have a hundred arms, a thousand hands, you still can’t resist.

All people say suffering comes from greed, anger, and delusion, yet can’t achieve a state without joy, hatred, resentment, love, trapped in the cycle of joys and sorrows again, you and I are each other’s life travelers, blessings and calamities.

…

Wei Continent.

A certain shopping mall.

Xian Yu’s song echoed in the ears of customers, its rapid pace like bullets hitting countless hearts.

“The sky wide, snow vast, who will sail with you.”

“This sand rolling, water rippling, laughing recklessly.”

“For fleeting pleasure, see how long the love stories last.”

“Buried.”

Wandering in the storm, traversing mountains and waters, experienced countless setbacks and pains, yet never hesitated or despaired, this represents the strength of humanity.

But this strength is powerless before the seven emotions and six desires, love and hatred.

Even a supreme hero cannot escape the barrier of emotion, who in this vast world can sail with me, roam free together, looking back on a life trapped by emotion, happiness but a moment, like a phantom dream.

This scripture, truly hard to read!

…

Zhong Continent.

Countless people on the internet were listening to the song, and after finishing, many remained silent.

Regarding “Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils,” people always have a thousand words to say, yet after hearing this song, everyone suddenly felt that what should have been said has been completely expressed in this song!

“The lyrics are great!”

“Xiao Feng can’t let go of the brilliant world, Duan Yu can’t escape the sweetness of passion, Xu Bamboo can’t find a substitute for beauty, Murong Fu can’t solve this difficult problem in his lifetime, a few lines of lyrics summarize the novel’s characters vividly.”

“The singing is wonderful too!”

“The hardships of wandering in the martial world can’t be easily summed up: brothers turning against each other, love stories, patriotic duties, which is the most important?”

“Recalling the novel, listening to this song brought tears.”

“It turns out this song is the best review of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils!”

“We might envy Xiao Feng’s great knightly duty, Duan Yu’s absolute love story, Xu Bamboo’s worldly detachment, but who really knows the conflicts Xiao Feng faces between country and home, the painful love affairs Duan Yu endures, even Xu Bamboo couldn’t achieve the Buddhist’s pure detachment, so Xian Yu says the martial world is a hard scripture to read, with joy and laughter, tears and sorrow.”

“This is the most classic martial arts song!”

“Xian Yu wrote a song that encapsulates Chu Kuang’s entire novel!”

“A lifetime of contemplation can’t unravel this difficult problem, the difficult problem is love, hate, and even patriotic duty, the characters in the book are always caught in dilemmas, isn’t it the same with our lives, advancing and retreating in difficulty?”

“This is truly a perfect masterpiece.”

“Xian Yu and Chu Kuang collaborated to compose the ultimate tragic song of Blue Star martial arts!”

After listening to this song!

Fans across the continents of Blue Star were enthralled!

Even more than ordinary fans from the continents!

Countless singers and composers from the industry sighed before this song!

People thought the songs Xian Yu composed for The Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy were already excellent, but they didn’t expect he could write even better, just like some netizen said, Xian Yu wrote a song that encapsulates “Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils!”

Just like people never thought:

Chu Kuang could exceed his other three martial arts novels with “Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils” alone.

The two, indeed brilliant!
