Chapter 258 The Truth About the Five Song Immortals Revealed
The visitor was none other than Old Man Kui.
All these twists and turns originated from an unnamed person.
Under duress, Kui Zhiweng had no choice but to resort to extreme measures to retrieve a page from the poem manuscript.
He had no idea why the person was doing this.
All I know is that the poem concerns an old friend [a man from Chiren].
Chi Ren was once among the Five Song Immortals, and he would leave his red seal whenever he composed a new poem.
The character "赤" in its name comes from this.
Such a talented writer, yet one of the poems he presented last year was plagiarized from another.
Lord Thor was furious, and the Red Man was exiled for this crime.
Of the five legendary singers, only four remain.
Having thoroughly read through the collections of poems by the Red Man, I found only plagiarized works lacking the official seal.
He then immersed the collection of poems by the Red Man in the stream, and only the ink on the stolen poems was washed away by the water.
Old Man Kui passed by and, seeing the objects, thought of the person he had met, so he recorded what he had seen in a poem.
Thus, the incident of Cui Guang presenting a poem occurred, and the turmoil subsided.
……
The story of the Five Song Immortals has come to an end.
After hearing Abedo recount the entire story to everyone after the portrait was finished, Paimon stroked his chin with deep confusion.
"Speaking of which... isn't there a [Kurosu] among the Five Song Saints? Now, doesn't the story of the Five Song Saints end without him even appearing?"
Paimon shrugged as he spoke.
"Hahaha~ Paimon, you haven't noticed yet?"
Barbatos had just taken a sip of wine when he was almost amused by Paimon's words.
"Hey street performer, what are you laughing at!"
Seeing him laughing so hard, Paimon stomped his foot angrily.
"Paimon, actually, the four existing poems already contain the story of the Black Lord."
Kind-hearted Aberdo tried to smooth things over.
"Huh...really?"
"The key to this matter lies in the poem that Kui-no-o wrote after Mo-ran cleaned the poetry collection."
Barbatos put away the wine and began to explain earnestly.
"The scene of the girl washing the Red Man's poetry collection by the stream is completely incomprehensible to ordinary people. Even Aoi no Okina doesn't understand what Mo Ran's actions mean; he is simply reminiscing about his old friend, the Red Man, upon seeing the object."
Immediately afterwards, Barbatos's expression darkened, and he made a face at Paimon.
Paimon, who was listening attentively, was so startled that he almost bumped into a large tree next to him.
"Ahem, but—for the villains who framed the Red People, this is a different story~"
"After seeing this scene, he would worry that if Thor saw the poem, he might discover the truth about Red Man's plagiarism, and then—he would be finished!"
"That's why... he took the risk and threatened Aoi no Okina to tear that poem down."
After saying that, Barbatos chuckled and then put his hands on his hips.
"So the guy who threatened Aoi no Okina was the big bad guy who framed Akato!"
After listening to Barbatos's analysis, Paimon became furious and angrily crossed his arms.
"In my opinion, this bad guy is [Kurosu]."
After listening, Ying gave her own answer.
"what?!"
Paimon was shocked once again upon hearing this.
"As expected of Ying, she understood what I meant so quickly. Although there are only four poems, they tell the story of the Five Song Immortals. Since the Thunder God in the poems is definitely not a Song Immortal, then... the only remaining character is that mysterious villain~"
