Chapter 51: Meditation and Enlightenment

Huang Chiyan quietly listened to every rhythm, and the old man in white played this guqin song lightly. The white-eyed old man's hand walked back and forth on the guzheng and kept playing, and the pleasant ancient songs were endless, as if he could go around the beam for three days without stopping.

The sound of the old man's piano seems to have been integrated with nature, as if it is the original sound of nature. The sound of the piano is sometimes like a warbler's song, swallows dancing, and the birds are singing, sometimes like the wind blowing the grass, the fish and the insects are singing, or the mountains are towering, the water is soup, or the flowers are blooming and falling, and the wind and rain are blowing.

After the sound of the piano in the first area, Huang Chiyan seemed to feel the most vivid changes in nature in spring, and instantly integrated into the world artistic conception created by this elegant piano sound. Huang Chiyan closed his eyes slightly, and used his heart to perceive this natural-like freshness and lightness, Huang Chiyan's fatigue, troubles, resentment, and even hatred were temporarily left behind, just enjoying the beauty of this piano music. Through the qin music, people can relax and enjoy and even comprehend the martial arts of heaven and earth, and they can also form their own emotional conception into a world.

Huang Chiyan has been comprehending the mystery of the piano music, and he has even forgotten time and space, until the old man in white stopped playing Huang Chiyan and opened his eyes.

Only then did Huang Chiyan realize that the sun was already yellowing in the sky, and Huang Chiyan unconsciously knew that it was almost two hours later.

The old man in white also found Huang Chiyan who was listening to the qin music, he stopped what he was doing, and said softly to Huang Chiyan with a smile: "What, do you like to listen to the qin music?"

Huang Chiyan hurriedly stood up and saluted and said: "Meet the seniors, the juniors can hear this music extremely beautiful and charming, so they stay here to listen, if you disturb the seniors, the juniors are deeply sorry." ”

The old man in white said kindly and said with a smile: "It's okay, old man, I'm here to play some piano music indiscriminately, it's the most wonderful thing if someone is willing to come and enjoy it, but you are interested in piano music." ”

Huang Chiyan replied: "The younger generation can hear the sound of this guzheng quite elegantly, but the younger generation wants to ask the seniors for advice, I don't know if the seniors are willing to bend down to give advice?" Huang Chiyan was also extremely sincere when he said this, and Huang Chiyan was really fascinated by this guzheng.

The old man in white looked at Huang Chiyan and said with a smile: "It's a good thing that today's juniors are willing to learn this traditional instrumental music, and I will definitely give you all the guidance, old man." ”

After hearing this, Huang Chiyan also saluted the old man in white happily and said, "The juniors thank the seniors for their generous teaching, dare to ask the seniors what to call them?"

The old man in white stroked his snow-white beard and said: "The old man is a man from the mountains and wilderness, who calls himself Tianjizi, if you want to learn guzheng from me, if you don't dislike it, call me a master." ”

Huang Chiyan also saluted and said: "The preachers and teachers are all my teachers, and the younger generation should be called so, Huang Chiyan has seen the master." ”

This master is different from the master, the master is the leader on the path of cultivation, a person will generally only worship one master, and the master will generally regard his apprentice as his own inheritor, and will generally teach his lifelong learning. The master is the parent on the path of cultivation, and his status is unique.

The master is more extensive, the preacher is the teacher, and the master is to teach a certain knowledge ability to others, which may only be a certain ability. There will always be many different teachers on different paths, and this is the so-called teacher who can teach the profession.

Tianjizi is also very satisfied with Huang Chiyan's open-minded and studious attitude, unlike some young people, who can float to the sky with a little talent and make some achievements, as if he feels that the world already belongs to him. This kind of young people often do not have any great achievements, but those who are humble and eager to learn will have good achievements. Although teenagers must have enthusiasm and pride, it is the key to recognize themselves and know their own positioning.

Tianjizi said with satisfaction: "Okay, then I'll ask you a question first." Have you ever touched a guzheng before?"

Huang Chiyan replied seriously: "The younger generation has had some contact with it in the palace before, but it has not been in-depth. ”

Tianjizi stroked his beard and asked lightly: "Okay, then what do you think is the first step in learning Guzheng?"

Huang Chiyan replied without thinking: "Naturally, I understand the principle and structure of the guzheng, and I am familiar with the rhythm of the five middle tones of Gongshangjiao Zhengyu. ”

Tianjizi shook his head with a smile and denied: "None, none." What you say doesn't seem to be wrong, and the world thinks it's right, but the world often overlooks this most important step. ”

Huang Chiyan also said curiously: "Please also ask the master for guidance." ”

Tianjizi said silently: "No matter what kind of orchestral instrument, if you want to practice the mysteries, you must first learn to listen. First of all, we must understand the sound of the guzheng music and understand the artistic conception and style of the song. Observing first and then learning and then exploring is the basic principle of learning new things, and we must not be reckless. As for the principles and techniques you said or the common sense of music and rhythm, these can be realized in the song, and there is no need to deliberately memorize them rigidly. ”

After hearing this, Huang Chiyan suddenly realized that it was like an enlightenment, and some of the questions that he had been puzzled about before were suddenly enlightened. Only by really seeing and feeling can we appreciate the mystery of things, rather than rushing to get started, which will be counterproductive in a hurry.

"Thank you for the master's advice, the kid has benefited a lot. Huang Chiyan said respectfully to Tianjizi.

Tianjizi walked to the guzheng and sat down, and said to Huang Chiyan: "I'll play another tune of other genres, you can feel it carefully." ”

As soon as Tianjizi spoke, his hands danced on the zither, as if dancing with the rhythm.

This time, the style is completely different from the previous one, Tianjizi only played a short section, and a strong sense of vastness came to his face. Huang Chiyan seemed to be in the middle of a vast desert.

As the rhythm of the Heavenly Machine progressed, the world in Huang Chiyan's mind gradually became complete.

Huang Chiyan felt a strong wind blowing in the desert, stirring up a burst of flying sand and rocks. Skeletons and blades were scattered on the ground, scattered in the sand. In this world, there were the sounds of warriors fighting, the neighing of war horses, the cries of women and children, and even the beating of war drums, and a sense of slaughter arose.

Huang Chiyan felt the desolation of an autumn wind, the tragedy of the soldiers not returning, the misery of women and children missing their relatives, and the desolation of the battlefield.

At this time, it was already late at night, Huang Chiyan was so frightened that he trembled, and goosebumps instantly appeared on his body.

"It's so terrifying that people really have that kind of emotion. Huang Chiyan sighed.

"What do you feel?" Tianjizi asked Huang Chiyan as soon as the song was played.

"Slaughtered, bleak, lonely, desolate, tragic. Huang Chiyan summed up all his feelings in five words in a row. Huang Chiyan seemed to be already in the world that Tianjizi had built with the sound of the piano.

"The perception is quite detailed, you can feel it again, and I will play other tunes for you tomorrow. Tianjizi slowly instructed Huang Chiyan.

"Thank you, master. Huang Chiyan bowed respectfully and walked down the mountain, and the music played by the heavenly machine echoed in his mind all the way.

After Huang Chiyan left, Yuwen Peak came to the peak where Tianjizi was. Yu Wenfeng saluted and said, "Master, I've been investigating that person as much as I can. ”

Tianjizi stroked his long beard and said, "You will stare at that person in the future to understand more things, and it is better to know more things." ”

"Yes"

Yuwenfeng responded and quickly descended the mountain.

"Who is the one in fate?" Tianjizi shook his head helplessly.
