Chapter 178: Ancient Xiao Score

This ancient street is quiet and quiet, pedestrians also subconsciously slow down when passing by, the old people who set up stalls on both sides of the ancient street, or gather together in twos and threes, although they are talking, but the sound is not very loud, so everything here seems quite abnormal.

Although Qin Xuan had already guessed in his heart, he was not anxious, he just walked along the ancient street, his eyes casually scanned, and appreciated the style!

Walking to an old man's stall, Qin Xuan saw some old books and paintings, which complemented this ancient street!

Qin Xuan didn't stop, because these things were useless to him, and he continued to walk along the ancient street, but the things he saw on the stalls were all old items, and Qin Xuan's heart couldn't help but have a little doubt.

Maybe these old people are idle, taking out some old things at home to sell, so that not only can they get a little money, but also have fun, after all, the old people have been staying at home, they will feel very dull, how can there be a quiet and elegant taste here!

Qin Xuan nodded slightly, looking at everything in front of him, he only had this guess, and judging from the happy looks of the old people, Qin Xuan knew that his guess might be right.

Walking in this quiet ancient street, there is no glitz of the world, no worldly bonds, no helplessness of the red dust, only the tranquility and freedom of the soul, and the safety of life!

Qin Xuan suddenly felt that the old people here might be happy, although they set up stalls and sold things that were not worth a few dollars, but what they reaped was the joy of the day and spiritual satisfaction!

Qin Xuan had an indifferent smile on his face, strolling through the ancient streets, his eyes were scattered at will, looking at everything, his heart also fell quiet and tranquil!

Suddenly, Qin Xuan's footsteps paused and stopped in front of an old man's stall.

The old man's beard was white, but his face was ruddy, and he was dressed ordinarily, but he was smiling, his eyes were cloudy, but from time to time he flashed essence, and on the old man's body, he exuded a faint atmosphere of dust, like a master in the world.

In front of the old man, a square grid cloth was placed on the ground, and some ancient books and musical instruments were placed on it, but looking at its color, it looked a little mottled and old, and it seemed to have a history for a while.

"What do you want to buy, young man?"

Seeing Qin Xuan pause, the old man slowly raised his head, looked at Qin Xuan, and asked softly with a faint smile.

Qin Xuan nodded slightly, paused in front of the stall, lowered his voice, and asked, "Old man, what are you selling here?"

Perhaps it was because he saw someone talking to him suddenly, and the old man's face also showed a happy look, and he touched his beard lightly, and the old man smiled: "These are all things at home, left a long time ago, and left there, and no one has been cared for, and there is nothing to do, so I will take them out and sell them, just for fun." ”

Seeing Qin Xuan looking at something in front of his stall, the old man took out a stool from behind him, put it in front of Qin Xuan, and said with a smile: "Young man, I see that you are also idle, why don't you sit down and watch slowly!"

Hearing the old man's words, Qin Xuan put down the things in his hand, took the stool, thanked him, and sat down next to the old man.

"Lad, do you have a favorite?"

Seeing Qin Xuan look at it for a while, the old man couldn't help but smile and asked, in fact, he just wanted to talk to Qin Xuan, he sat here for a long time, idle and bored, although he was accompanied by books, but after reading for a while, it was also a little boring.

Now that he saw Qin Xuan in front of him, the old man wanted to talk to Qin Xuan, although Qin Xuan was just a strange passerby in his life.

"Hehe, old man, I see that your books seem to have been in the category for some time, but they are all in the category of four books and five classics, are there no others?"

Qin Xuan had already flipped through some books, but he just glanced at them and put them down, he had already seen all these things in the library, and the knowledge in them was still deeply imprinted in his heart, so now he glanced at them and put them down.

"Hehe, these things of mine have been handed down, but until now, no one has read these books, and I have never sold a single one of them in the past few days when I put them here!"

The old man smiled faintly, and then continued: "You are looking at those books, they are all about music and art, and it seems that one of them also records some tunes, but I can't understand it, hehe!"

Qin Xuan followed the direction of the old man's finger and took the books as he said.

Flipping through a book casually, it was written in ancient style, Qin Xuan couldn't help but glance at the old man, he didn't expect the old man to still know the ancient style, it seems that the other party is a very knowledgeable person!

As if sensing the thoughts in Qin Xuan's heart, the old man shook his head and said with a chuckle: "Young man, I don't know any ancient characters, this is what my granddaughter helped me find on the computer, and I only know the title of the book!"

Qin Xuan nodded slightly, put his eyes back on the book, and looked at it seriously, but found that they were all poems and ballads, but there was a little knowledge of music and rhythm.

"Boy, do you know those fonts?"

Seeing Qin Xuan holding the book he didn't know and reading it extremely seriously, the old man couldn't help but ask, a subtle light flashed in his eyes.

"Hehe, I've studied these ancient fonts, so I know one or two. ”

Qin Xuan closed the book in his hand and said with a soft smile.

"Hehe, young man, you are really amazing, there are not many people like you now, there are many people who have read these books, and even some people who are very knowledgeable, but they don't know these fonts!"

Hearing Qin Xuan's words, a look of relief appeared on the old man's face, and he said with admiration.

"Hehe, I'm just interested in these ancient fonts, so I learned a little more, and the others may not work!"

Qin Xuan glanced at the old man, and saw that his face was full of relief, and he also said a little modestly.

"Hehe, young man, at your age, it's good to be humble, learn a little more, and it may be of great help to you in the future. ”

The old man looked at Qin Xuan and nodded, as if he had a good impression of Qin Xuan's modesty and studiousness, so he couldn't help but say a few more words.

"Hehe, what you said is that the younger generation has been taught!"

Qin Xuan arched his hand and said with a smile, although he didn't know the old man and had only chatted for a while, Qin Xuan felt a kind of understanding of life and the essence of life from him.

This kind of understanding is unconsciously revealed in the elderly, and it is difficult to find it if you do not observe it carefully.

"Hehe, we're just talking, there's no need for this!"

The old man waved his hand lightly and said with a smile on his face.

"Young man, are you interested in music?"

Seeing that Qin Xuan had been reading those books, the old man couldn't help but ask, the old man didn't know much about music and rhythm, so now that he saw Qin Xuan like this, he was also a little interested.

"Hehe, old man, I have a friend who learns guqin, so I want to know more about this aspect, so that when chatting, there is a common topic!"

Qin Xuan didn't know what the old man was thinking, but he didn't hide it and told his thoughts.

"Hehe, that's it, that's the same, if you don't have a common topic, staying together, it will be boring, learn more, you can know more!"

Hearing Qin Xuan's words, the old man touched his beard and said with a faint smile.

"By the way, young man, since you know the ancient style, I have a book here, see if you can help me translate it!"

As he spoke, the old man took out a book wrapped in silk from his arms, slowly opened it, and a very thin pale yellow ancient book appeared in front of Qin Xuan's eyes.

Qin Xuan took the ancient book handed over by the old man, it was very thin, only ten pages, and the writing was a little old, but there was no font.

Qin Xuan opened it, and what caught his eye was some sparse fonts, but after Qin Xuan saw the first line of words, he knew that this ancient book was about the knowledge of music and rhythm.

"Old man, this book is also an introduction to music, do you want me to continue reading?"

Qin Xuan had already closed the ancient book at this time, and when he saw that the old man attached so much importance to this ancient book, he didn't want to help but let the old man agree to read it casually, although he was also a little curious about the knowledge inside.

"Hehe, just read it, just tell me the content after reading it!"

Seemingly aware of Qin Xuan's concerns, the old man smiled and waved his hand, but from his eyes, he could also see that he was very satisfied with Qin Xuan's approach.

After getting the old man's promise, Qin Xuan was no longer reserved, and directly opened the ancient book and read it seriously.

This ancient book was very thin, and there was not a lot of content in it, so it only took five minutes for Qin Xuan to read it all.

Slowly closing the ancient book, Qin Xuan exhaled lightly, then looked at the old man, and said with a smile: "Old man, this book records some knowledge about Xiao's musical instrument, and there are two flute songs in it, so this book can also be said to be a very ancient flute score." ”

"Xiao, I know, then you can tell me the above content!"

Hearing Qin Xuan's words, the old man's face was very calm, and then he said with a light smile.

"Old man, this flute book first talked about the seven realms of the, of course, these realms are also imagined by the person who wrote this flute score, because he has not heard of it.

These seven realms are: a hundred birds and a phoenix, a flying explosion, falling flowers and flowing water, the sound of the flute, the sound of the wild goose, the tide of the blue sea, the echo of the empty valley, and the wailing of the old ape......

It is said that when the sound of the flute reaches the extreme, it can attract a hundred birds to the phoenix, in the sound of the flute, there will be the sound of a waterfall, close your eyes, you can see a piece of flowers open in front of you, sometimes, you can faintly hear the sound of geese......

At the extreme, the front is like a blue sea across the sky, the waves are rolling, sometimes it is quiet, and it is like being in a deep valley, echoing, and in the poignant place, it is the old ape wailing, and the cuckoo crying blood..."

Qin Xuan smiled and explained the realms introduced in the book, and the old man was faintly distracted when he heard it.
