Chapter 474 - 474 464 The Four Calamities
?Chapter 474: Chapter 464: The Four Calamities Chapter 474: Chapter 464: The Four Calamities The Queen Mother of the West looked at Yi Zheng skeptically, “Five hundred years, what’s that enough for? I don’t believe they’d cheer for a mere five hundred years.”
Yi Zheng said, “There’s a song as proof! They specifically wrote a song to celebrate living an extra five hundred years.”
Curiosity piqued, the Queen Mother of the West looked at Yi Zheng, “Really? Sing it for me.”
Although Yi Zheng was tone-deaf, and his voice was terrible, he believed that the Queen Mother of the West, this earthy leopard-cat, definitely had no taste for music.
So Yi Zheng strained his throat and began to sing:
“Along the mountains and rivers follow gently winding lines
Set horses free in the Central Plains, in the northern lands, and south of the Yangtze
…
May the mortal realm be blessed with peace and contentment
I really do want to live another five hundred years
…
May the mortal realm be blessed with peace and contentment
I really do want to live another five hundred years
I really do want to live another five hundred years”
Hearing Yi Zheng’s singing, the Queen Mother of the West was dumbfounded, “Are there really people who would utter such laments for a mere five hundred years? That’s seriously lacking ambition.”
Yi Zheng, however, said earnestly, “To you, Queen Mother, five hundred years may not seem much. But to humans, five hundred years is quite a lot. A person normally only has a lifespan of a hundred years. Subtract the first dozen years of growth and the last twenty or thirty years of old age, and you’re really only left with forty or fifty years to make a splash.
