Chapter 3 A Song "Spring and White Snow"
There was a delay on the road for half a day, and naturally someone had already sent a message to inform the delay, and the convoy planned to simply spend the night on the lakeside and leave again tomorrow.
The golden red and pale yellow sunset in the sky is reflected in the vast Dongting smoke waves, and the sparkling brilliance is sprinkled and shimmers like broken gold.
Smoke rose from far and near, food was used in all directions, and the lakeside was so quiet that only the soft murmuring of summer insects and the slight ripples of the water were heard.
A clear wisp of piano sound sounded at this moment.
Accompanied by the sound of the piano, an ethereal and slightly hoarse female voice recited the string song:
ββ¦β¦ The fungus does not know the obscurity, the cockroach does not know the spring and autumn, and this small year is also ...... There are spirits in the south of Chu, and five hundred years old is the spring, and five hundred years old is the autumn......"
Juncao who dies in the morning and twilight does not know the night and dawn, the cicadas that die in spring and summer, summer and autumn, and do not know the time of the year, which is short-lived. There is a big tree in the south of Chu called the Spirit, which regards five hundred years as a spring and five hundred years as an autumn......
ββ¦β¦ There is a bird, its name is Peng, the back is like Mount Tai, and the wings are like the clouds hanging from the sky; Ninety thousand miles of those who shake the sheep's horns, the clouds are absolutely cloudy, and the blue sky is negative, and then Tunan, and the south is also ......"
There was a bird, its name was Peng, Peng's back was like Mount Tai, and its wings were like clouds in the sky; It spiraled up to 90,000 miles in a whirlwind, transcended the clouds, carried the blue sky on its back, and then flew south, intending to fly to the South China Sea.
The so-called string song, refers to playing the qin with the chant, poetry and ancient texts can be, when Confucius was trapped in the Cai Di string song platform, on the string song to recite Confucian poetry endlessly.
However, what this female voice is reciting is the first part of the "Zhuangzi" - "Leisurely Travel".
"The sun and the moon rise, and the bonfire never stops; Isn't it difficult to be in the light? When the rain falls, it is still soaked; It's also in Ze, isn't it also tiring? β
The sun and moon have come out, and the small torch has not been extinguished, isn't it too difficult to compare its brightness with the sun and the moon? Isn't it futile that the timely rain falls and people still irrigate the fields?
"The wren nests in the deep forest, but only one branch; The squirrel drinks the river, but it is full. Return to the king, give useless to the world! Although the people are not cured, the corpse will not be replaced by the bottle! β
Wrens build their nests in the deep forest, with only one branch; The mole swallows the water of the river as long as its stomach is full. Please go back, the world is of no use to me! Even though the cook does not cook, the celebrant should not exceed his authority to do the work of the cook!
These two dialogues record the story of "Yao let Xu You with the world".
Xu You is a hermit in ancient times, Yao thought that he was virtuous, could accept Zen, and bear the heavy responsibility of the world, Xu You thought that Yao said that this matter polluted his ears, so he refused to go to the stream to wash his ears, and was known as "Ear Washer".
Riding the wind sent one low string song after another, which surprised the young man and a few of the slightly literate entourages in the convoy.
ββ¦β¦ That little Zhao Ji. Quiber looked up at the lake.
The boy looked too, and in the thick sedge, the young girl in sackcloth sat on a rock, with a horizontal Xi-style yaoqin in her hand, and a dark blue harp on the sideβit turned back into the grass to fetch the harp.
"The mountain of contempt is inhabited by gods and men. The skin is like ice and snow, and it is like a virgin, it does not eat grains, sucks wind and drinks dew, rides the clouds, and flies the dragon, and swims beyond the four seas; Its spirit is condensed, so that things are not flawed and ripe. β
In the distant Gushu Mountain, there lived a god-man, whose skin was as white as ice and snow, and whose body was as soft as a virgin, who did not eat grains, breathed the breeze, ate and drank nectar, rode the clouds, drove the flying dragon, and traveled beyond the four seas; His expression is so focused that everything in the world is free from disease, and the grain is abundant every year.
The rock rose high from the shore and towered condescendingly above the water, and the wind with the night mist blew the white ribbon around the girl's waist in the wind.
In the twilight, she is also like the goddess who does not eat the fireworks of the world, ethereal and unapproachable.
The young man's eyes are complicated, he naturally knows that what Xie Wu recited is "Getaway", which is the first article in "Zhuangzi", and anyone with a little knowledge can recite it, but Xie Wu only singled out these few sentences, but what does it mean?
The first two sentences are the dialogue between the two of them when Shun let the world Yu Xu You, and the last two sentences are the dialogue between the two of them when Shun let the world go to Xu You, and the last sentence is about the immortal of Gushu Mountain - what is this weird little girl thinking?
"I don't want the Xie clan to have such a strange girl, it's a pity!" Kuiber only expressed such feelings.
When the Jin Kingdom was still there, the Xie clan was also a prestigious clan, and Xie Hu, an important figure in the famous "Foreign Moves Do Not Avoid Hatred", was a member of the Xie clan.
It's a pity that after the Jin Kingdom was divided by the three clans, the Xie clan was not very prosperous, and a few years ago, it was because of the unknown obstruction of Guo Kai, the Ju clan was wiped out, and Xie Wei is no longer a noble girl, and it is indeed a pity that such a talented and knowledgeable girl has fallen into the wilderness.
"Mound, that medicine girl doesn't know if she uses food ......" A servant reminded in a low voice, they coarse people couldn't understand the meaning of the sorrow, but thinking that such a little girl was alone and had just treated her own people, she naturally felt very pity.
The boy nodded, "Send her some food, and if she wants, invite her to stay here." β
No matter how strange her behavior is, she is just a young girl after all, and the night is getting darker, and their team can't let her be a weak young girl in the wild.
Before the words fell, the sound of the piano over there paused, and the strings were noisily twisted for a while, and the tune changed abruptly.
The melody is melodious, the technique is complicated, the so-called "leading business and carving feathers, mixed with liuzhi", I am afraid that it can describe the song played to relieve worries.
The young man's eyes flashed slightly, and he quickly caught up with the man who had gone to deliver the food, took the utensils in his hand, and walked into the grass himself, close to the rock where the worry was located.
Xie Wu knew that there was one more person around him, but he didn't move at all, and he didn't raise his eyes and smile until he finished playing, "Wang Sun is here!" β
Although she smiled like a peach blossom, she didn't feel any joy at all, as if she was just laughing for the sake of laughing, nothing more.
The young man frowned, and his gardenia-colored Chu clothes looked particularly bright and friendly in the afterglow, "Why is Zhao Ji so commensurate?" β
""Yangchun White Snow", the song is high and low, and the mound can smell the song, isn't it the queen of Chu?" The corners of Xie Worry's mouth were clearly smiling, but the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were solemn, "The mound can call me to relieve my worries." β
"Jing Xuan, Ziyuan." The boy leaned on the rock and looked sideways at her, "Relieve your worries...... The doctor guessed well. β
Qu, Jing, and Zhao are the three surnames of the Chu royal family, respectively from the King of Chu Wu, the King of Chu Ping and the King of Chu Zhao.
