Chapter Twenty-Five

An Ran put his mind at ease, and no longer cared about Ji Cunzhou's scrutiny, picked up a piece of white cedar cake with his hand, and took a bite gently, only to feel that his mouth was full of sweetness, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but ripple with a light smile, enjoying the sound of singing and dancing bamboo music happily, and tasting all kinds of snacks and delicacies. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info secretly said in his heart that this ancient man would really enjoy life.

After a while, another woman came with a guqin in her hand. When An Ran saw the guqin in the woman's hand, he couldn't help but sit up straight, and he didn't know how the woman's piano skills were, so he listened attentively.

I saw that the woman was wearing a long skirt with blue smoke and purple embroidered scales mopping the floor, covered with a smoke and gauze dress, combing the nine mustaches of Wangxian and the plum blossoms on her forehead, with fair skin and exquisite appearance. The hand holding the guqin slightly revealed a jade wrist, wearing a jade eight immortal pattern bracelet on it, and the skin was like snow. The woman's posture is graceful, and she grows lotus step by step.

Ji Cun Zhou on the side saw that An Ran was interested, and lowered his head and introduced to An Ran softly, "This is Qiao Sanniang from Qunfangyuan, who was also selected as the Oiran of Yangzhou City a few years ago, she is very good at playing the guqin, and her piano skills are superb, and her level is comparable to that of a generation of masters. ”

Ji Cunzhou said as he looked sideways slightly, carefully paying attention to An Ran's expression. He thought that his movements were hidden, but he didn't know that he had already been seen by An Ran. Enron is now equivalent to the divine consciousness of the Jindan period, and he feels sensitive, not to mention Ji Cunzhou's scrutiny, even if he is thousands of miles away, he can see it clearly.

An Ran quickly raised his eyebrows, and even Ji Cunzhou, who had been paying attention to him on the side, did not notice it. It's just that I'm a little curious about Ji Cunzhou's actions. "Oh, then I'm going to be able to feast my ears on it this time. An Ran said leisurely, so I sat upright for a while.

Walking closer, Qiao Sanniang saluted slightly, sat cross-legged, put the piano on her lap, lightly picked the silver strings with her jade hands, plucked her hands on the guqin, the sound of the piano sounded, and the surroundings suddenly quieted down.

The song "Flat Sand and Falling Geese" sounded, and the sound of the piano was euphemistic and smooth, timeless and fresh. At the beginning, the sound of the piano is like a wild goose guest, the ethereal sky of the sky; it is like a goose walking and singing, if it comes and going; then it is like a goose about to fall, and the sky is circling, looking forward to it; the sound of the piano turns, and it is like a group of three or five, flying and lodging and eating, and it is suitable for the situation. The melody rises and falls, stretches continuously, and is beautiful and beautiful.

Looking at Qiao Sanniang's every move again, she is like flowing water, she is indescribably good-looking, but she feels full of charm.

Everyone was intoxicated, the sound of the piano stopped, and the surroundings were silent for a long time.

An Ran came back from the sound of the piano, stunned, and couldn't calm down for a long time, Qiao Sanniang looked like she was only in her early twenties, but her piano skills were so transcendent. And he has also been learning the piano for ten years, and he is often praised by the teacher on weekdays, and because of his rebirth, he has practiced the cultivation of the true exercises, and he has almost never forgotten it, and his sense of musicality is stronger than that of ordinary people, so he feels that his piano skills are already good. But after listening to Qiao Sanniang's piano music today, I only feel that although I warn myself to be cautious in my words and deeds on weekdays, I am still arrogant.

After watching the song and dance again, An Ran was also a little absent-minded, and only reflected secretly in his heart.

Soon the singing and dancing were heard, and Zhou Hang, the host of the banquet, proposed to play 'Qu Shui Liuzhen', and everyone agreed.

Qushui Liuzhen is a very ancient game, originally a sacrificial custom, held in the third lunar month of the lunar calendar every year, used to remove bad luck, and now it has slowly evolved into a game of literati and nobles, feasting and drinking near the water, Confucian and elegant customs.

The so-called 'meandering water' refers to the fact that everyone sits on the ground on both sides of the river, places a wine glass in the upper reaches of the water, and lets the wine glass go down the water slowly, passing through the winding stream, and whoever stops in front of the wine glass will improvise a poem and take a cup to drink. If you can't make a poem, you will be fined three glasses of wine.

Zhou Hang saw that the proposal was approved by everyone, so he ordered his subordinates to go down to prepare, and soon a servant brought a wine glass, only to see that the wine glass was made of wood, small and light, and the bottom had a support, which could float in the water.

Everyone also got up and came to the river, there are green bamboos on both sides of the stream, the green bamboos are upright, quiet and elegant. Everyone sat cross-legged by the curved water in order, and An Ran also sat down with everyone, only a little apprehensive in his heart, although he had not played this game of 'Qushui Liuzhen' before, but he had also read ancient books and knew how to compose poems. Since An Ran came to ancient times, everything else is good, but he has no talent in composing poetry.

With a slight nervousness, An Ran was silent.

Soon everyone was done, and when they saw this, they remembered what Wang Xizhi said in the "Lanting Collection Preface": "There are lofty mountains and mountains here, lush forests and bamboos, and there are clear streams and turbulences, reflecting the left and right, leading to the flow of the winding water, sitting in the second, although there is no silk bamboo orchestra, a song is enough to tell the romance." What is described in it is very similar to what it is today.

The servant placed the glass upstream, and the glass floated down the water and floated in front of the individual. There are all kinds of instrumental music in my ears, and I can distinguish them calmly, and the music is free and natural. Under the music, everyone showed a comfortable demeanor in this bamboo forest and flowing water.

When the wine glass was in front of a person's turn, he either got up and wrote a poem aloud, or he was willing to admit punishment and drink three glasses; during this time, An Ran was also taken his turn, so he had to stand up and read out the poem that had been changed by the teacher.

In the end, everyone was slightly drunk, either sitting or lying, and some people sang ancient songs. An Ran was also fined a lot of alcohol, but he became really familiar with everyone because of this. Relax your heart, indulge in the mountains and rivers like everyone else, wander in the heart, sing a song, all out of love, a song and a harmony, all from the heart. Indifferent and ambitious, quiet and far-reaching.

And An Ran's mind, which has never been relaxed since he came to ancient times, is really relaxed, and he suddenly only feels that his soul is sublimated, and the whole person is fluttering, and the sea of knowledge is only 'pop', becoming more expansive and more condensed. An Ran only felt that his whole body was light and fluttering, and the whole person was floating in the air, An Ran looked down a little ignorantly, and found that his body was still sitting cross-legged in place, it turned out to be an out-of-body soul, and at this time, the world in the eyes of An Ran, who was just a soul, became clearer, and every grass and tree was presented in front of him.

An Ran continued to appreciate this different world, slowly looking farther away, and suddenly there was a burst of suction, and An Ran's soul returned to his body. An Ran opened his eyes, only to feel that he was getting more and more energetic. This out-of-body soul made An Ran's original cultivation more stable, and even increased slightly. One of the biggest benefits is that there has been a breakthrough in the divine consciousness, and the cultivation of the Great Perfection in the late stage of refining has reached the strength of the divine consciousness in the middle stage of the cultivator's Jindan, that is to say, the cultivation until the middle stage of the psychic is also smoother, and there is no need to worry about the demons, you only need to run the exercises, and accumulate the required aura, soul power or the essence of the sun and the moon, and the power of the stars, and you will naturally advance.
