Chapter 281: Funeral Requiem and Diary of the Book King

The soothing melody echoes through the passage like a soft feather.

This is the music of the fourth burial soul, and the song is called "Funeral Lazy Song", which can stimulate people's inertia.

The lazier a person is, the more susceptible he is to it.

Listening to the melody of "Funeral Lazy Song", Liu Xing felt as if he was lying on the beach in winter, with the gentle sun shining on his face, the endless sea in front of him, and the sound of waves ringing in his ears.

Inertia is one of human natures, and Liu Xing naturally has a lazy side.

Gradually, his consciousness was a little blurred, as if he was about to fall asleep.

"No, I have to pull myself together!"

At this time, Liu Xing's eyes lit up, he gathered his thoughts, and ran the mental method of Shaolin's "Washing the Myelin Sutra", accelerating the flow rate of blood and making the whole body boil.

Life is in motion.

With the assistance of "Washing the Marrow Sutra", Liu Xing's inertia was eliminated little by little, and he was reborn and regained his motivation.

When "Funeral Lazy Song" ended, Liu Xing had already reached the end of the fourth burial soul path and successfully passed the fourth level.

When he turned his head, he found that Hua Yingxue was still by his side, and she didn't seem to have anything.

"You're such a hardworking boy. Liu Xing praised, "I don't have a little lazy desire." ”

"Xie Hei Shadow Book King Praise!" Hua Yingxue responded with a smile and looked ahead, "Next is the fifth Soul Burial Path, what kind of desire will be stimulated in it?"

"Just go in and have a look. ”

The two moved on.

The first four Burial Soul Paths all brought Liu Xing a lot of challenges, and the last three Burial Soul Paths were obviously not too easy.

In order to pass the test smoothly, Liu Xing resorted to a small means.

He used the Northern Soul True Qi to build a wall of qi around his ears, isolating all sounds from his eardrums, so that no matter what kind of music was playing in the Soul Burial Path, he would not be affected.

So, in the next three burial soul paths, Liu Xing's ears were quiet. Walk safely and stress-free. He broke through three levels in a row and successfully passed the test of the seven soul burial paths.

Hua Yingxue also passed the test.

It's just that she didn't cheat at all, and the whole process didn't produce too strong desire-longing, and the seven music that inspired ** didn't work for her.

Complete the Seven Burial Soul Paths. A white palace finally appeared in front of it.

The palace is spherical in shape, surrounded by white mist, like a fairy palace floating in the clouds.

This palace is the Burial Soul Palace.

The entrance to the Burial Soul Palace had been opened, and Liu Xing and Hua Yingxue walked in directly.

Inside the palace is a spherical space, about 20 meters in diameter. The white ball wall is made up of round mirrors, and the structure is very similar to that of the multi-dimensional mirror cave.

However, these mirrors are not used to reflect images, but to reflect sound.

While standing in the Soul Burial Palace, Liu Xing coughed lightly, and under the reflection of the multi-dimensional mirror, bursts of echoes came from all directions, and the sound waves of the echoes were superimposed on each other, forming a strange symphony.

When hundreds of echoes poured into their ears at the same time, Liu Xing and Hua Yingxue couldn't help but be shocked.

"It's amazing!"

Hua Yingxue couldn't help but exclaim. As soon as she finished speaking, her voice immediately turned into a thousand echoes, stirring up in the palace.

"It's incredible!"

Feeling the endless wonderful echoes in the palace, Liu Xing and Hua Yingxue's hearts were shocked.

If an ordinary voice is compared to a soldier, then the echo in the Soul Burial Palace is like a huge army with thousands of troops, and the momentum is as vast as a sea of smoke.

"What is this?"

Liu Xing swept his eyes and saw that four guqins were placed in the center of the Burial Soul Palace, and the guqins were arranged together in the shape of "mouth".

The four guqins have completely different appearances and different colors. When combined, they feel natural.

After looking at the guqin for a while, Hua Yingxue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said happily: "Is this the legendary 'four-tone combination qin'?"

The theory of the school of consciousness argues: There are four basic human emotions, namely: joy, anger, sorrow, and fear.

No matter how complex emotions are, they also evolve from these four basic emotions.

As a result, the Soul Fairy once created a set of combination qins, which are composed of four different guqins, each of which can play a kind of music that contains a basic mood. The four kinds of guqin are called: the joy qin, the angry qin, the mourning qin and the fear qin.

This ensemble is made based on the theory of four basic emotions, hence the name "Four Emotions Ensemble".

With this ensemble, it is possible to play music that encompasses all human emotions.

However, almost no one can play this ensemble, because it requires one player to play four guqins at the same time.

Even for a master of music, it is already very difficult to play two guqins at the same time, and it is almost impossible to control four guqins at the same time.

As a result, there are only legends in the folk "Four Emotions Combination Piano", no one has ever seen it, and no one can play it.

"I didn't expect that there really was a four-emotion combination piano!"

Hua Yingxueqiao's face showed an unconcealable excitement, she was originally interested in music, but now when she saw this legendary combination of pianos, she was naturally excited, and she was deeply attracted at once.

This ensemble consists of four guqins.

The first one is red, the piano board is built by the ancient red jade, the strings are gold wire steel strings, and the sound of the piano is bright and crisp, giving people a sense of joy and joy, therefore, it is a "happy qin"

The second is a green guqin called "Nuqin", the third blue guqin is called "Wailing Qin", and the fourth black guqin is called "Fear Qin".

The materials used to make the four guqins are different, the timbre is obviously different, and the playing techniques are also very different.

In the center of the ensemble there is a stand, on which is placed a sheet music called "Funeral Requiem".

Liu Xing took a closer look at the score of "Funeral Requiem", and found that the melody recorded on it was a little familiar.

"Funeral Requiem" has a total of seven chapters, namely "Funeral Food Song", "Funeral Color Song", "Funeral Greed Song", "Funeral Lazy Song" and so on, all of which are played by the four-emotion combination piano.

"No wonder these melodies are so bizarre that they were originally played on a combination piano. ”

Liu Xing was a little hindsight, the music played in the Soul Burial Tunnel could not be played by ordinary musical instruments at all.

"Why do you want to put a set of four-emotion combination pianos here?"

Liu Xing looked around, and the four walls of the Burial Soul Palace were very much like sound-absorbing walls. It is likely that there is also a secret room here, which can only be opened with music, and this ensemble may be the key to opening.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing proposed: "Yingxue." Let's play the "Funeral Requiem" again. ”

Hua Yingxue frowned: ""Funeral Requiem" needs to be played with this combination piano, and I definitely can't play it." ”

Liu Xing and Hua Yingxue's piano skills are already at the top level, but despite this, they are still completely unable to control this combination of pianos.

Liu Xing reminded: "It's true that a person can't play the combination piano, but. We can play together. ”

"Ensemble?"

"Yes. You play two of them, and I play the other two. Liu Xing pointed to the combination piano and said, "Lady first, you pick the piano you want to play first." ”

Hua Yingxue's eyes swept over the combination qin in front of her, and after a while, she decided: "I'll pick the red Xiqin and the green Nuqin." ”

"Okay. Liu Xing said, "I will play the blue mourning qin and the black fear qin, and we will start immediately." ”

After discussing, the two were back to back. Sit down in the center of the four guqins and read the score of the "Funeral Requiem" carefully.

"Funeral Requiem" is extremely mysterious and varied, and it is impossible for Liu Xing and Hua Yingxue to learn the entire "Funeral Requiem" at once.

They decided to play the first part of the "Funeral Requiem" first, the "Funeral Song".

After practicing for more than three hours, the two finally mastered the essentials of playing this chapter.

Everything was exactly in place, and the two began to play together.

Zheng!

Hua Yingxue gently plucked the fingers of her left hand to the strings of the Xiqin, and the crisp sound of the piano flowed out, and under the reflection of the multi-dimensional mirror in the palace, thousands of echoes reverberated back, and at the same time. Hua Yingxue hooked the fingers of her right hand, and a wisp of extremely explosive piano sound surged out from the strings of the angry chess.

When Hua Yingxue was playing the Xiqin and Nuqin with both hands, Liu Xing had already opened the bow left and right, and both hands were in unison. The left hand plays the mourning harp, and the right hand plays the fear harp.

For a time, the four guqins of joy, anger, sorrow, and fear sounded in unison, and the entire Soul Burial Palace seemed to have become a sea of music, and every time the strings were touched, they would stir up monstrous waves on the sea. A wave has not been waved, and another wave has risen.

The sound of the piano and the rolling waves are endless, endless, endless.

The notes of different timbres are intertwined and overlapped, and different emotions begin to have a chemical reaction.

There is anger in joy, anger with sorrow, sorrow and fear, fear and joy.

When a variety of different melodies poured into their ears at the same time, Liu Xing and Hua Yingxue felt a variety of different emotions, which was a veritable "mixed feelings".

In the melody of "Funeral Requiem", the two seem to have tasted the warmth and coldness of human affection and experienced the joys and sorrows of the world.

Soon, Liu Xing and Hua Yingxue were intoxicated by this melody of a hundred turns and thousands of times, obsessed with these mixed emotions......

I don't know how long it took.

Zheng!

Liu Xing suddenly pressed the pause on the blue mourning qin, and the Soul Burial Palace suddenly fell silent.

The first chapter of the Funeral Requiem has been played.

Airplanes!

At this time, the ground of the Burial Soul Palace suddenly trembled slightly, and a door slowly opened on the floor in front of it, and the text of the door seemed to be an underground secret room.

"Sure enough, there is a secret room!"

Liu Xing and Hua Yingxue stood up at the same time and entered the underground secret room.

As soon as he arrived indoors, there was a faint fragrance, Liu Xing took a closer look, and found that this secret room should be the boudoir where the soul fairy lived.

On the left side of the chamber there is a wardrobe and a shoe cabinet, on which many women's clothes and shoes are stored. On the right side of the chamber are two rows of bookshelves filled with books.

Liu Xing glanced over, and the titles of the books that caught his eye were: "General Outline of Stream of Consciousness", "The Principle of Multidimensional Mirror", "Mind Reading", "Music Rhythm", "Painting Scripture", "Chess Dao", "General Theory of the Structure of Music Novels", "Complete Works of Emotional Theory", ......

The shelves are basically full of theoretical books from schools of consciousness.

Liu Xing didn't look at these books carefully, because what he was looking for was the diary of the Soul Burial Fairy.

Looking all the way, Liu Xing found a white book at the end of the second row of bookshelves, opened it and looked at it, the book was full of handwritten words, the handwriting was a little yellowed, obviously some age.

The text on the book is very weird.,It's like a tadpole.,It's the soul text.。

"It's the handwriting of the Soul Burial Fairy!"

Liu Xing was secretly happy in his heart, he had once seen the "Zhu Xian" written by the Soul Burial Fairy in soul script. And the handwriting in the white book in front of me is almost exactly the same as the handwriting in "Zhu Xian".

"Is this the diary of the Soul Burial Fairy?" Hua Yingxue asked with concern.

Liu Xing nodded: "It shouldn't be wrong." ”

Hua Yingxue reminded: "However, the diary is full of soul texts, and we can't understand it at all." ”

Liu Xing explained: "It's okay, I will be in the Condor Heroes again after a while." Write the words in the diary to the little dragon girl, and then you will know what is written in it. Now that the diary has been found, let's go first. ”

"So fast?"

"What, you don't want to leave?"

"There are a lot of books in this room that are not available on the market, and I want to keep them. ”

"What books?"

"For example, this book "Music Rhythm". It is a music book that was circulated in the Warring States Period, and it is said that it has long been lost, and I can't imagine that there is a Soul Burial Fairy. Hua Yingxue pointed to the bookshelf and said, "There is also this "General Theory of the Structure ......of Musical Novels", I haven't found it for a long time before."

Hearing this, Liu Xing reached out and grabbed five books from the bookshelf, including "Music Rhythm" and "General Theory of the Structure of Musical Novels", and stuffed them into Hua Yingxue's hand: "Since you like it, take it home and read it slowly." ”

Hua Yingxue bent her eyebrows: "These books are from the Soul Burial Fairy, and it's not good for me to take them home, right?"

"It doesn't matter. Liu Xing explained. "When I get into the Condor Heroes again, just say it to the Soul Fairy. Is five books enough? Otherwise, I'll ask someone to move this bookshelf back to Tianhai City......"

"No...... No need!" Hua Yingxue was a little speechless, and hurriedly said, "Five books are already a lot." ”

Liu Xing casually took down five more books from the bookshelf and stuffed them again: "I'll take them again after reading them." ”

"......" flowers reflect snow.

"Let's go. ”

"Hmm. ”

After saying that, the two left the Soul Burial Palace together......

……

Outside the Soul Palace.

In the hall at the door, Tong Jiuxian, Zhao Changle and several other committee members were waiting quietly.

"Why hasn't the Black Shadow Book King come out yet?" Zhao Changle asked puzzledly, "He shouldn't have any accidents, right?"

Tong Jiuxian said: "The Black Shadow Man was entrusted by the Burial Soul Fairy to come to the Burial Soul Palace to pick up things. How could something happen?"

Zhao Changle asked in a low voice, "Dean Tong, do you really believe that the Soul Burial Fairy is still alive?"

Tong Jiuxian said: "This is what the black shadow man said himself, is there any falsehood?"

Zhao Changle said: "It's not that I don't trust the Black Shadow Man, it's just that the Reading Alliance is now worried about internal and external troubles. If the Soul Burial Fairy is really alive, how could she not show up for so long? Do you think the Shadow Man made up a lie to deceive us in order to stabilize the situation?"

Tong Jiuxian was stunned for a moment: "Probably not, right? If the Soul Burial Fairy is really gone, I'm afraid this lie won't be hidden for too long, and sooner or later the south will elect a new book king." ”

"That's right!" Zhao Changle sank. He proposed, "Since the Dark Shadow Man has entered the Soul Burial Palace, why don't we push the boat down the river and let him also act as the Book King in the south?"

Tong Jiuxian frowned slightly, and said: "Actually, I also had this idea just now, but the black shadow people may not be willing! Half a year ago, in order to let the black shadow man be the king of books, but it took a lot of energy, hundreds of five-star writers jointly invited, and the deans of the four major novel academies of Fenghua Xueyue persuaded the old man for a long time, and the novel street held two more powerful 'Black Shadow Man Cup' essay contests, and finally the black shadow talent was reluctant to serve as the acting book king in the east. We're going to invite him to be the acting king of the southern part of the country again, I'm afraid it's not easy!"

"Sincerely, the gold and stone are open. Zhao Changle said, "The Black Shadow Man is a chivalrous person, I believe that as long as we are sincere enough, he should not refuse." You have also seen the situation in front of you, without a character at the level of a book king, you can't shake the situation at all. ”

Tong Jiuxian thought about it carefully for a while, sighed softly, and decided: "Okay, after the black shadow man comes out in a while, let's give it a try." By the way, you quickly called Lao Li, Lao Sun, Lao Hong, and Lao Wang over, and everyone came forward to invite them together, which seemed sincere. ”

"I'm going to call them. ”

More than half an hour later, more than 100 elderly people arrived one after another.

These old men were the most influential figures in southern China, enjoying great prestige in the school of consciousness, including five-star writers, reading masters, book experts, psychologists, musicians, painters, and so on.

Everyone gathers to discuss how to convince the Shadow Man to act as the Southern Book King.

Rustle!

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps.

Everyone looked up and found that it was the Shadow Man who had come out......
