This night, Ye Chu slept very sweetly, until in the morning, Ye Chu was woken up by Shami.

Because the temple has the habit of doing morning classes, when the time comes, there will be monks who will come to wake you up and go to the morning class, and Ye Chu is no exception.

Ye Chu followed a group of monks to do a morning class in the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

Although Ye Chu couldn't chant the scriptures, listening to the monk's chanting, his heart was rarely pure.

When the morning class was over, Ye Chu walked around the temple.

I met many monks along the way, and after seeing Ye Chu, they greeted Ye Chu one after another, and Ye Chu also folded his hands in return.

After Ye Chu saw this scene, he seemed to have returned to the Yama Sect, because in the Jianghu Sect, the hierarchy has this clear rule.

Ye Chu walked here and there, came to a pavilion, and heard the sound of a piano, Ye Chu knew that it was the sound of a guqin.

Ye Chu looked at the voice, and there was an old monk playing the guqin in the pavilion.

This old monk was wearing a robe, his face was ruddy, and his gray beard hung down to his chest, looking like a fairy wind and bones.

Ye Chu walked into the pavilion, closed his eyes, and savored it, although he didn't know what score the old monk played, but it was very beautiful.

The treble is crisp, like the sound of gold and stone, and the midrange is thick and full.

After the song, Ye Chu seemed to be still savoring, and the old monk said: "Donor, could it be that the donor is also proficient in music?"

After Ye Chu heard this, he came back to his senses and said, "Master, the junior is proficient and dare not be a hobbyist. ”

In fact, Ye Chu knew some piano skills, because Yama believed in the way of a gentleman, and in ancient times, piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting were essential skills for a gentleman.

At the beginning, Ye Chu learned a little bit in these four aspects of Yama Luomen, because he has been "wandering" outside all these years, in addition to calligraphy, that is, calligraphy has been insisting on practicing, piano, chess, and painting, and he has almost forgotten it.

The old monk said: "Since the donor is a hobbyist, please ask the donor to give the old man some advice." ”

Ye Chu shook his head and said, "Don't dare to be a guide, the master's piano skills are impeccable." ”

When the old monk heard this, he nodded happily, but Ye Chu continued: "Although I don't know what kind of music the master played, there is a fatal flaw. ”

The old monk was still happy a second ago, and when he heard Ye Chu say this, he asked, "Please also ask the donor to give me advice." ”

Ye Chu said: "Guqin, also known as Yaoqin, was often used by literati to express emotions in ancient times, and the only flaw of the master is that your music lacks spirit, that is, emotion. ”

When the old monk heard this, he took the initiative to get up, folded his hands, and said, "Please also ask the donor to give me advice." ”

Ye Chu sat on the stone bench, closed his eyes, and kept plucking the strings with his fingers.

The song played by Ye Chu is "High Mountains and Flowing Water", which is exactly what Boya played during the Yuzi period.

But "Alpine Flowing Water" has long been lost, and the only one that has survived is "Alpine Flowing Water" of the guzheng repertoire.

But what Ye Chu played was not this "Alpine Flowing Water", it was the lost "Alpine Flowing Water".

The real "Mountains and Flowing Water" has two parts, the upper part is called "High Mountain" and the lower part is "Flowing Water".

And Ye Chu only played the first part of "High Mountain".

The old monk closed his eyes and listened, Ye Chu was a little jerky at first, and then became more and more fluent.

When the old monk heard the music played by Ye Chu, he seemed to be on the top of Mount Tai, and he had a kind of pride and ambition to see all the mountains at a glance.

When Ye Chu finished playing, the old monk slowly opened his eyes, felt ashamed, and said: "The old man is ashamed, he has been taught, and I don't know what song the donor played. ”

Ye Chu said indifferently: "High Mountain." When the old monk heard this, he said in shock: "But the first part of "High Mountain" and "Flowing Water" played by Boya Yuzi period?"

Ye Chu nodded and said, "Exactly." After the old monk was confirmed, he folded his hands and said, "Donor, the old man is ashamed of himself. ”

Ye Chu smiled indifferently, if he didn't have a courtesy to the old monk, he would get up and leave.

When Ye Chu was about to walk out of the pavilion, the old monk said, "Donor stays." Ye Chu turned around and said, "What advice does the master have?"

The old monk said: "I don't dare to give advice, although the old man is ashamed to hear the sound of the donor's piano, but from the sound of the donor's piano, I feel that the donor's killing spirit is too heavy, so please follow the advice of the donor, or less to kill the sin as well, put down the butcher's knife, and become a Buddha on the ground." ”

When Ye Chu heard this, he just smiled indifferently and said, "What if the people I kill are all the people who should be killed?"

When the old monk heard this, he said: "There are gods three feet above the head, everything pays attention to the cycle of cause and effect, what you plant is the cause and what you get, it's not that you don't report it, the time has not come." ”

After hearing this, Ye Chu showed an evil smile on his face and said: "I am a god, the life of the wicked should be judged by me in the end, and I am the judge from hell." ”

When the old monk heard this, his expression was a little displeased, but Ye Chu didn't pay attention to it at all, turned around, and walked away.

Ye Chu walked and chanted: "The vast land is broken with a sword, where is the prosperity and singing." Leaning on the clouds and a thousand pots can hardly hide my loneliness, even if others laugh at me. ”

The old monk, after hearing this, looked at Ye Chu's back, bent down slightly, folded his hands, and said: "Amitabha, good, good." ”

The old monk in the pavilion heard Ye Chu's chanting and kept repeating it in his mouth.

The old monk looked at the direction Ye Chu left, sighed, and said, "That's it, that's it, there is a fixed number in the dark." ”

Coincidentally, a novice walked up to the old monk and said, "Abbot, a benefactor surnamed Lin wants to ask for a signature, and says that it must be the abbot. ”

That's right, this old monk is the abbot of Yongle Temple, and the horn strings.

When the Xianyin monk heard this, he said, "Where is the benefactor now, lead me there." ”

Novice said, "Yes." Then he followed behind the string sound monk.

Xianyin came to Lin Songde's room, and then asked Xiao Shami to bring the bamboo skewers used for fortune telling, and then went into the house.

Inside the house, Lin Songde and Ye Chu were sitting in the house, Lin Songde saw the Xianyin monk coming, got up and respectfully asked Xianyin to sit down, and when Xianyin sat down, he said: "Master, you are here, please ask the master to calculate a hexagram." ”

Xianyin said: "Master Lin, the old man has asked the disciple to go and get the bamboo sticks for divination, and the donor will wait for a while." ”

After a while, Shami brought the bamboo stick and began to divinate Lin Songde.

Lin Songde picked up the hexagram bucket, closed his eyes and shook it.

About a dozen seconds later, a bamboo stick with a hexagram on it fell on the table.

Lin Songde picked up the bamboo stick, glanced at it, and whispered it, and the signature read: Jun Jin's Pepsi and follow the fate of the water to listen to nature Mo sigh that the year is unsatisfactory Happy to meet the new fortune is the heart of the field.

After reading it, he respectfully handed it to the string tone, and the string tone took it, and Lin Songde said, "Please guide the master." ”

Xianyin said: "This is signed, not to say, as the Buddhist scriptures say, one flower, one world, one leaf, one Bodhi, everything is according to fate." ”

After Lin Songde heard this, he secretly talked to himself and said, "Thank you, master, please ask the master to divinate a hexagram for my little brother." ”

Xianyin looked at Ye Chu and said, "There is nothing that can be done about the ransom of the old man, and no one knows the fate of this benefactor. ”

After speaking, the Xianyin monk pushed the door out, and when he came out, the disciple who followed the Xianyin monk asked, "Abbot, why don't you divinate that donor?" ”

Xianyin said: "The golden scales are not a thing in the pool, once they turn into a dragon in the face of wind and clouds, the heavenly opportunity cannot be revealed. ”
