"Mr. Li, these are fourteen Tobaya silk strings, which can be said to be the best in the entire island country, but can this guqin really be played." Matsumoto Akido put the bag on the table, and then asked Fang You with a puzzled face.

Most of the guqin handed down by the Tang Dynasty has long been reduced to the decoration in the museum, and there is no possibility of playing, according to what Fang You just said, this guqin has plum blossoms and turtle back broken lines, it can be said that the age is extremely ancient, reached a thousand years ago, coupled with the dilapidated surface of the current qin, he is really worried that this guqin can not be played.

Hearing Matsumoto's words, Fang You smiled slightly, "Matsumoto, although this guqin is a little worn, it is well preserved, all the structures are not missing, it is not a problem to play, but it can't be played for as long as the guqin produced now, after all, after a thousand years of history, some of its internal structures have changed, so playing a few times will not affect anything." ”

Matsumoto Mingdao nodded, looked at the strings on the table, and then asked, "Mr. Li, do you want to pull the strings for the guqin, just to test whether this guqin can be played?" ”

Fang You's face showed a mystery, "Matsumoto, I'm not sure yet, but I can tell you that pulling the strings is not just to confirm whether this guqin can be played, but also for other purposes, maybe you will find out later." ”

"Mr. Li, we got it." Matsumoto Mingdao nodded, then stopped talking, and quietly watched Fang You's movements on the side, but he was looking forward to whether this guqin would be a rare treasure.

Then, Fang You took out a group of strings in the bag, the strings are generally in a group of seven, each group of strings Toba House also packed it in a packaging bag, two big first tones were written in the center of the bag, and then a silk line was drawn next to it, a string was written on it, and in the lower left corner was marked with the Toba House system.

The strings were taken out of the bag, there were seven in total, each of which was rolled into a circle, which was a little smooth to the touch, and from the point of view, it should be an authentic silk string.

The strings used in ancient times are all silk strings, which are made of silk and have a history of thousands of years, and other types of strings are not suitable for some guqins, but silk strings are suitable for any kind of guqin.

In addition to the silk strings, they are still steel strings, which are made of metal, but some kinds of guqins made of trees are not suitable for this kind of steel strings.

As for the most commonly used ice strings and spider strings, the ice strings are not the kind that were lost in ancient times, and they have only been studied in recent years, and the ice strings that were lost in ancient times are made of ice silk, which is the most precious one of all strings, and in some martial arts novels, ice silk is also commonly used to make armor, but the ice silkworm has long disappeared in history.

Spider strings are also a variety of strings that have only been researched in recent years, made of spider silk and high-tech, but its price is very expensive, more than one million sets of strings, it can be said that in addition to the legendary ice strings, the best strings, but the appearance of this spider string is just a rumor, and it has not entered mass production and has not been put on the market.

Now, silk strings are the most commonly used strings used to learn the guqin, but the production of silk strings must have silk, and the supply of silk is generally provided by farmers who specialize in raising silkworms, but with the heat of going to the sea to make gold, and the development of land, the situation of domestic silk is very bad, in addition to the ancient strings, now the domestic guqin lovers use, there are three kinds of Jinyu and Wumen, and the rest, most of them can not be put on the table.

Fang You opened the strings, then fixed the strings on Yue Shan at one end, and then pulled until the dragon gum was fixed on the back.

Pulling all the seven strings up, Fang You gently plucked the strings with his hand, and a melodious crisp sound suddenly resounded in the room, shocking the spirits of Matsumoto Mingdao and the others on the side.

Fang You played each of the seven strings, then closed his eyes slightly, savored the sound of the seven strings, and finally nodded with surprise on his face.

Unexpectedly, this Warring States guqin has been handed down to the present, and its sound has only changed slightly, but this change is inconspicuous in the crisp sound of the guqin.

The timbre of this guqin is very pure, simple, and compared to other modern guqins, it can be said that it is so strong that I don't know where to go.

You don't need to wear anything on your fingers to play the guqin, but if you want to play several other traditional Chinese instruments, such as guzheng and pipa, you need to wear false nails, which is not to prevent finger injuries, but these types of instruments are to be played with fingernails, and wearing false nails is to prevent the nails from being broken when playing.

When playing the guqin, it is a lot more casual, some people like to play with meat fingers, some people like to play with nails, some people like to play with half meat and half nails, as for whether to wear fake nails, it depends on each person's hobby.

There are many kinds of fingering techniques for the guqin, and it is not difficult to learn the basics, but it is rare to play it fascinatingly.

The piano music is divided into different levels of difficulty and level, and the same is true for the guqin, some complex tunes, the requirements for the player are very high, and some costume TV dramas often see the player when playing, the string suddenly breaks, which is a major error in the fingering, too much force, resulting in the disconnection of the string.

Of course, in the case of sudden fright, the momentary loss when playing will also break the strings.

The top ten famous qin songs in China are also in different levels, from level 1 to level 10, each is different, the first level of Fengqiuhuang, the tenth level of Guangling San, the difference in difficulty can be described as a world of difference, but if it is played by a famous pianist, even if it is a level of difficulty of the tune, it can also play the charm of level 10.

After improvising a few times, Fang You stopped his movements, held the strings in his hands, and couldn't help but fall into thought again.

The strings are pulled, but there are countless Chinese tunes, what kind of tunes can be played to open the mechanism, he doesn't think that just playing a song can open the mechanism.

Seven strings, seven mountains, if it is really a mechanism, then its subtlety is no less than the most advanced high-tech combination lock in modern times......

It must be in accordance with the law, the seven Yue Mountains are shaken, and then the mechanism inside may be opened, Fang You smiled, if other people know their own idea, I am afraid that they will not only scoff at it, there is a mechanism on the guqin, and it is necessary to play a specific tune on the qin to open it, this is a bit ridiculous just by listening to it.

It's just that it is really ridiculous, but Fang You has a certain meaning in his heart, based on his experience in Taobao picking up leaks over the years.

Thinking about some famous tunes, Fang You suddenly smiled, and sighed a little secretly for his clumsiness, the guqin tunes handed down from ancient times can be said to be very many, but this guqin is an item in the Warring States Period, the Warring States Period is the earliest period of the origin of Huaxia qin culture, in that era, the number of qin songs is still very small, but there are many handed down and become famous songs in China.

Among the top ten famous songs, a large part of them were handed down during the Warring States period, and the most famous of them is the high mountains and flowing water.

Alpine flowing water is a song, but with the evolution of time, it is divided into two reading music, one is high mountain, one is flowing water, high mountains and flowing water are in the classification of modern qin music, each in different levels, flowing water has been more developed in modern times, as mentioned above, Tie Lijian sent to space to find aliens in the spacecraft, there is a music of flowing water.

Fang You nodded, since this is the case, then play this mountain and flowing water first, and see if you can open the mechanism.

When Wu Yang and Chu Lao discussed the guqin, he learned all the top ten famous songs and some other famous tunes, and played them very skillfully, with his memory and learning ability, these tunes are not difficult, when ordinary people play, it is difficult to keep their minds stable, but he does not have this difficulty.

With his current state of mind cultivation, he can control his mind freely, and when he plays, there is a slight gray air flow on his fingers, which is emitted from the strings, and his sound is natural, it is very beautiful, reaching the level of fascination of Chu Lao and others.

Fang You first played a song in the mountains, the song of the mountains and rivers was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a scholar named Boya in the Chu State, who liked to play the piano very much since he was a child, although he was talented and intelligent, and his piano skills were greatly improved, but it was difficult to capture the charm of the music, just like being able to play a difficult tune, but he could not have a charm that made people fascinated.

One day, his teacher took him to find an immortal master to enlighten him, but his teacher took him to a high mountain, so he let him stay there first, saying that he was going to find an immortal master to enlighten him.

And Boya couldn't wait for the teacher to come back for a long time, so he got up to look for it, after bypassing a mountain, he suddenly saw a strange scene in front of him, between the high mountains, there was a waterfall in the clouds, a clear spring in the fog, the water splashed like a pearl, and the sound reverberated like a fairy music. ”

Boya suddenly realized that the immortal master is nature, which is the origin of the mountains and flowing water.

And the mountains and flowing water have some meaning, that is, bosom friends, Boya was ordered to envoy to the Chu State, because of the strong wind, the boat stayed at the shore mouth, and he stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the calm waves, a bright moon emerged from the clouds, the piano was prosperous, played a song, and at the end of a song, suddenly jumped out of a woodcutter who chopped wood, and praised Boya's piano skills.

Boya was shocked and asked him if he could listen to the piano, but he understood the advantages and disadvantages of the piano, and took Boya's piano, and the woodcutter told him the advantages and disadvantages of the piano one by one.

After listening to Boya, he was convinced, and then he tuned the strings and stroked the piano, the music was sometimes majestic and high-pitched, sometimes smooth and fluent, and the woodcutter on the side sometimes said that the piano was as high as Mount Tai, and sometimes said that the ocean was like a river.

These words made Boya very happy, and there were few people in the world who could hear the meaning of his playing, so he worshiped the woodcutter as a brother, and this woodcutter was Zhong Ziqi, because Boya was going to envoy Chu State, and Ziqi would reunite at this time in the next year.

In the second year, Boya came as scheduled, who expected that Zhongzi was deceased, in front of his tomb, Boya played a song of mountains and flowing water, at the end of the song, with a knife to break the strings, and looked up to the sky and sighed, the confidant is not there, who am I playing the piano for.

Takayama Ichigami expresses the majesty of the mountains, and Matsumoto Akido and the others can't help but fall into this wonderful music when they listen to this music.

I saw Fang You's hands constantly moving on the piano, his movements were very smooth, and there was no hardness, this mountain and flowing water was also his favorite song when he was learning to play the piano.

After playing the song of the high mountain, Matsumoto Mingdao and several people were still in shock, Fang You looked at the guqin without any changes, stopped for a while, and began to play the flowing water, which is different from the majesty of the high mountain, the flowing water is full of smoothness, playing the piano, the sound that appears, the clarity of the water is fully expressed.

Just now, there seemed to be a high mountain in front of them, but now, Matsumoto Akido and the others felt as if they were surrounded by water, and the warmth and softness of the water made people fascinated.

The flowing water ended in a song, and when the last sound faded, Fang You stroked the strings with his hand, but he frowned, the guqin still did not change, but every time he played this mountain and flowing water, he had a feeling of unsmoothness.

Leaving the clutter in his heart behind, Fang You looked at this guqin, and was a little admired, this guqin was like the inscriptions of several Qing Dynasty literati above, the sound was melodious and clear, and after playing a song, there was still an aftermath in his ears.

After playing the high mountains and flowing water, Fang You began to play other songs from the Warring States Period, Guangling San and Yangchun Baixue.

At the end of the two songs, there was still no change in the guqin, and he played a few more ancient songs of the Warring States period that have been handed down, but it is still the same.

Fang You shook his head helplessly, could it be that his guess was wrong, these seven Yue Mountains were not the organs of the guqin, or the organs of this guqin were not organs at all, or the organs of this guqin were pieces of music that had been lost.

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period have a history of more than 2,000 years, and many precious things cannot be preserved until now, whether it is an actual object or this kind of disembodied music that represents culture, many of which have been lost in distant history.

"Mr. Li, it's so wonderful, it's so wonderful, I didn't expect that this piano dug up from the tomb could also play such fascinating music, this is the most beautiful music I have ever heard, and it is difficult to let go." Long after Fang You finished playing a few songs, Matsumoto Akido and the others came back to their senses from the beauty of the music, and immediately expressed their shock to Fang You with respect.

Fang You couldn't help but smile, how wonderful is the playing, when playing, he has been staring at Yue Shan to watch, when caressing the strings, the seven Yue Mountains will shake slightly from time to time, but he has played these famous songs of the Warring States period over and over again, but there is still no movement.

If there is a mechanism on this guqin, then the only place where the mechanism can exist is this Yue Mountain.

"Mr. Li, may I ask what was the first piece you played, which made us feel two different scenes." Matsumoto Akimichi asked with a puzzled face.

Fang You came back to his senses from the thought of the organ and said with a smile: "Matsumoto, this is one of the top ten famous songs in China, it was originally a song, but it was ...... in the Tang Dynasty Haha, I seem to get some of it. Suddenly, at this point, his face changed, and then he laughed a few times as if he had suddenly realized.

Gao Shui Liushui was originally a song, after the Tang Dynasty, it was divided into two reading qin songs, this guqin belongs to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, then, the high mountain flowing water is a song, not two qin songs of later generations.

What he played just now was the qin music that was separated by the reading power of later generations, and if we talked about the very famous qin music in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, then it was naturally the most famous for the mountains and flowing waters.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li, what's wrong with you." Matsumoto Mingdao's faces also changed, and he asked a little strangely, not understanding why Fang You was talking, and suddenly laughed.

"Haha, Matsumoto, thank you for letting me understand a truth." Fang You smiled, what he should have thought of a long time ago was just the kind of eagerness to open the guqin mechanism, which made him forget such an important thing.

The so-called authorities are fascinated, and the bystanders are clear, and if it weren't for the problem of Matsumoto Akimichi and a few people, he might not have been able to think of this matter.

"Mr. Li, is it related to this guqin?" Matsumoto Mingdao and the others were not stupid people, and after thinking for a while, they understood what Fang You meant by laughing.

Fang You smiled and nodded, "Matsumoto, whether it succeeds or not, it may depend on my next piano song, but it still needs to wait for a while." ”

He followed Chu Lao's learning of the qin music, only the high mountains and flowing water two reading power of the qin music, and did not learn the two into one tune, since the Tang Dynasty, high water and flowing water have been played separately, among which the flowing water is the most famous, Fang You is a little worried, this high water and flowing water into one song of the piano score, has it been handed down.

If it has been handed down, he will naturally be able to know it as Chu Lao, if not, then Fang You may have to consider other ways to separate the guqin.

As he spoke, Fang You took out the phone and called Chu Lao, "Xiaoyou, what's the matter, it's okay in a small island country." ”

"Old Chu, several companies in the small island country are developing at a high speed, everything is normal, I have one thing now, I need to ask you Lao." Fang You said with a smile, this matter of the guqin, naturally can't be revealed first, after all, he hasn't discovered the secret yet, and it is not too late to explain it to Chu Lao when he finds out or never finds it.

Chu Lao suddenly smiled on the phone, "I know that as soon as your kid calls, if you ask for help, I will soon become a helpline here, let's say, what's the matter." ”

Listening to Fang You's calm tone, Chu Lao naturally didn't have much nervousness, if something major happened, then Fang You would directly explain it to him.

"Chu Lao, when I was learning the guqin before, the mountains and rivers I learned were two pieces that separated the reading power, and I heard you always say that the mountains and rivers were originally a song, I don't know if the score of this piece has been handed down, I want to try the mountains and rivers into one song, what kind of feelings will it have." Fang You said to Old Chu in a calm tone, but there was some expectation and apprehension in his heart. (To be continued.) )
