Chapter 160: Yingtian Tower

Xiang Jiarong couldn't say what he was suffering about.

Yang Lanyi pestered him like this, which greatly affected his state of mind. He and Yang Lanyi had just entered the door, he was a senior brother, and it was not good to complain to the master about such things, so he had to talk to Zhong Tianzheng.

Zhong Tianzheng told him to find a way to solve it himself.

Xiang Jiarong has always avoided competing with others because of his leg disease since he was a child, and in desperation, he had to agree with Yang Lanyi that if Yang Lanyi could practice the second level of the Miaoyin Eight Methods before the autumn test, he would give Yang Lanyi the opportunity to play.

Xiang Jiarong himself is still in the first place, he feels that he should be able to make a breakthrough if he works hard in the past few months before the autumn exam, as for Yang Lanyi, hehe.

However, if Senior Brother Yang can really practice to the second level, it will not drag everyone back, and it will be nothing to give him the position.

Yang Lanyi's reaction was quite unexpected by Xiang Jiarong, he left happily, and when he turned around, he seriously discussed the team battle with the teacher, Zhong Tianzheng and others, daring to love that this little young master was extremely confident in himself, and he never thought about how to end up if he couldn't practice the second level of the Miaoyin Eight Methods at that time.

Zhong Tianzheng's side also consulted his teacher Tan Ruide about participating in the team battle, it is said that Mr. Tan Er did not violate the rules when he went on the field to press the formation for his apprentice, but as the dean of the Southern Academy, it was indeed inconvenient for him to participate in the competition.

The news has not yet spread, only the people of the Tan family and Zhong Tianzheng know.

In this way, there are six people in this team, and there is still a pair of masters and apprentices missing.

In Zhong Tianzheng's opinion, the strength of several of them is a little weak compared to other teams, after all, there are three freshmen in it, and there is a big gap between them and his goal of winning the championship. So these last two people have to choose well.

After the dust settles on the spring test, the gray tower of Xuanyin Pavilion is open to new students.

The musician is the sum of heaven and earth. This towering gray tower that stands behind the Silk Tong Hall is also known as Yingtian Tower.

The tower is more than ten floors high, and it stores all the music-related books that can be made public.

What is particularly rare is that Xuanyin Pavilion, as a national study, has also collected a lot of rubbings of ancient books.

These ancient books may have been the only ones that have been handed down. Treasured by the royal family or by any other person. Light yƬ was reluctant to show people, but in the face of Tan Lao's national teacher, coupled with the strong support of Emperor Jianzhao. At the beginning of the construction of the pavilion, the master sent the rubbings for the musicians to study.

Because it is precious, the management of the Yingtian Pagoda is also very strict.

The first time a freshman goes to Yingtian Tower, he must be led by the division commander. After you go, you will first find the resident tower musician to register in the book, and you can only borrow the books on the first floor.

There is a special place in the tower for musicians to read books and even transcribe. However, it is strictly forbidden to take the original out.

It's okay to say this, but the most unkind thing is that if you borrow a book of "Music Theory" this time, and next time you want to borrow a book next to it, there will be a resident musician who will specifically evaluate you for this "Music Theory". If you fail the assessment, the other party will think that you have not studied the "Music Theory" and will not allow you to borrow the next one.

You'll just have to honestly go back and continue to study The Theory of Music. Until the make-up exam is passed.

And there are also rules on the time between make-up exams, and the first time is seven days. The second time was fifteen days...... This is getting longer and longer, and there are often students who are stuck in a certain book, and they can't pass the make-up exam repeatedly, so that when they mention Yingtian Tower, they tremble and panic and are short of breath.

There are nearly 1,000 books on the first floor alone, and only after the registration shows that at least a tenth of them have been borrowed can they be allowed to enter the second floor.

The higher you go, the rarer and more precious books become.

This year, it is even rumored that Old Tan Guoshi will put a full set of Miaoyin Eight Methods on the top floor of Yingtian Tower.

This is what Tan Yaohua said before, the Miaoyin Eight Methods are completely open to the musicians in the pavilion, but you want to see it and have to work hard.

The resident musicians are generally very old, and they do not belong to any of the houses in the north and south, and there is no need to think that they will be favoritistic.

Students like Wen Sheng, who can't learn the eight methods of Miaoyin, and who need to skip classes in music theory and fingering, are full of curiosity and yearning for the Heavenly Tower.

Bian Qingchuan took her to the outside of the tower early in the morning to line up.

The vast majority of the people who have come in the past two days are freshmen, and it is only in the past few days that the Yingtian Tower will be so lively.

Wen Sheng's master and apprentice were in front, and soon it was their turn.

Although Bian Qingchuan of Yingtian Pagoda has heard of it for a long time, it is also the first time to enter, and after entering the door, he sees that the stone walls on both sides are densely carved with tower rules, and he can't help but be speechless.

He didn't have the ambition to read a lot of books and then reach the top, so he made up his mind early in the morning, and when Wen Sheng took a fancy to which one, he copied the book back, and the master and apprentice studied it together.

The person in charge of the registration was an old man with a white beard, who was waiting for them in the first room after entering the door.

The old musician looked at the kind eyebrows and was very easy to speak, but what Wen Sheng heard was not the case at all, before the old musician was one of the chief examiners of the spring test team battle, and the old students secretly called him "Hidden Touyu" in private.

Zangtou is the fingering of the guqin, it is a kind of rue, before the strings are played, the sound is headless, they use this to allude to the inconsistency of this old appearance, and the temper is strange and difficult to fathom.

The registration items are nothing more than what is the name, which master is, what instrument he is learning, when he entered the school, and where he lives.

Wen Sheng answered one by one, although the old musician looked at her twice, he didn't deliberately embarrass her because she was a woman.

After registering, Wen Sheng got a sign, and then a waiter led her to pick up a book.

Usually at this time, the teacher can leave, but Bian Qingchuan is also the first to come back, and everything is fresh, so he simply follows him to the study room to have a look.

There are a total of ten study rooms on the first floor of Yingtian Tower, with tall bookshelves in them, and when you enter the door, you can smell a strong smell of camphor wood.

The book is placed on the shelf, and there is a wooden name tag hanging on the side, with the title of the book written in large letters, and the content of the book is briefly summarized in small letters below.

This study room displays nearly 100 books.

There was no noise in the study, Wen Sheng turned around, and soon selected a "New Law".

This is a book on music theory, which focuses on the flaws of the twelve laws calculated by the three-point profit and loss method, why Huang Zhong can't be restored and why he can't rotate the palace, the book is called "New Law", and it does say that Wen Sheng has not thought about problems before.

The first thing you do when you borrow a book is to transcribe it.

The waiter led Wen Sheng to a quiet room, where there were tables and chairs, pens, ink, paper, and inkstones were ready-made, and three or four people had already come in before her, and they were immersed in copying books.

Wen Sheng found a place to sit down, used his hands and brain at the same time, and thought while copying the book: This Xuanyin Pavilion is not in vain, there are so many books to copy casually, not only can you learn it yourself, but you can also take the rubbing back to the master and Qi Qin to see.

Needless to say, the second elder of this "New Law" alone will definitely be interested.

I think that when Wen Sheng was apprenticed in Qingni Mountain, Qi Qin also specially told her about the twelve laws and the three-point profit and loss method, which is the common sounding criterion in the world today, but Master Wang Xi must have relied on experience, and faintly felt that there were still deficiencies in it, and he couldn't say the reason, so he taught himself that after setting the palace strings, everything else was based on feeling, and the five tones and twelve rhythms were out of nature.

I just don't know if his old man can read this book now, but can he understand the meaning of it?

This "New Rhythm" is not very long, but Wen Sheng also copied it for two days to finish, and after returning to organize it into a book, bound with a string, this is the first book on music and rhythm that she has owned.

When she transcribed it, she had almost memorized the book by heart, and after she went back, she discussed it with several elders sentence by sentence, studied it in detail, and five days later she came to return the book.

The old man asked Wen Sheng a few questions about "New Law", Wen Sheng answered them one by one according to his own understanding, the old gentleman didn't say good, nor did he say bad, he lowered his head and added a pen to her borrowing record, indicating that she could continue to borrow the next one.

Wen Sheng heard a lot of rumors, saying that it was easy to borrow books and difficult to return books in Yingtian Tower, and how harsh the musicians in it were, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth.

Since then, Wen Sheng has lived a relatively peaceful life like learning the piano, practicing drums, skipping classes and borrowing books.

The more times I borrow books from Yingtian Tower, I will also find some interesting people and things.

For example, Wen Sheng saw a "mustache" in his early thirties in the quiet room where he copied books several times in a row, Wen Sheng's memory was good, and this musician was very distinctive, so she recognized it at first sight, the other party was also from the Southern Academy, and he participated in the spring exam this year, and his name is still hanging on the palace list, with a total ranking of more than 20.

This person's name is Zhuo Xuan, and the instrument he uses is also a guqin.

The palace list ranks more than twenty, which is already a very powerful achievement, and it is said that Yi Zhuoxuan's strength should not still be in the first layer.

And the connection has been encountered several times, it will not be so coincidental, every time the two of them come together to borrow books, which can only show that this Zhuo Xuan is constantly borrowing, copying, and returning books, and frequently entering and leaving Yingtian Tower.

Everyone is desperately trying to see the true face of the Eight Methods of Miaoyin, what is attracting him on the first floor?

The most strange thing for Wen Sheng is that once she went to Yingtian Tower in the middle of the morning, when most of the students in the north and south were in class, and the Yingtian Tower was quite deserted, Wen Sheng found that there was a book called "Qingshan Drum Language" missing from the bookshelf, and Zhuo Xuan was the only one in the quiet room who was copying.

Apparently he was copying this book that taught people to beat the drums.

It's really weird!

More than a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and Wen Sheng went to return the book again, and the book was called "Fingering Essentials", which is a book that describes the fingering of the guqin in detail, which is full of pictures and texts, and also attaches examples of music scores, which is very practical for Wen Sheng.

It took Wen Sheng three or four days just to copy the book, thanks to her ability to draw.

This is the sixth book she has borrowed.

I went to find out that the musician who returned the book today was the "hidden head". (To be continued)

ps: There is one more change in the evening. R640
