Yi said: Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement. The terrain is good, and the gentleman carries things with virtue. With the wind, the gentleman acts with deuteronomy. Gradually, the thunder trembled, and the gentleman repaired the province with fear. Good as water, a gentleman starts with deeds. Fire is the same person, and the gentleman distinguishes things by the class. Step Ze walk, the gentleman to distinguish the people's will. Gen Shan Qian, a gentleman is more than a few.

Li Bai made a big move and began to try to compose many ancient poems into the music, and then play them through the strings. A few years later, Li Bai won a lot of prestige in the Turkic country, and those hermits saw that Li Bai was intelligent and perceptive, and they all wanted to take him as an apprentice and pass on his unique skills. As a result, Li Bai should not, saying, 'I have great ambitions, not here, outside the clouds.' ’

Everyone was puzzled, shook their heads and sighed, and gave up. However, as long as Li Bai encountered a problem and asked, these hermits were willing to help him and had no reservations.

In the meantime, there was a luthier who was strange, dressed in a white coat, with a cloak and a long piano on his back, wrapped in black cloth, and I don't know what life was like. This person comes to the piano workshop every day, in the same place, in the same location, and sits all day long. Except for drinking tea, the man leaned against the pillar and remained motionless, closing his eyes, never looking at anything else, much less stroking the harp.

Li Bai was a little curious, and wanted to see what the long qin behind this person looked like, so he politely asked to see him. As a result, no matter how politely Li Bai said or asked to see, this person was silent, and he didn't even pay attention to it.

In this way, Li Bai was even more curious, and even felt that this person must be powerful and amazing. So I asked those violinists about the origin of this person, but no one could tell the second or third, only said that this person's surname was Zhu, and his single name was the word 'Xiang'; I didn't know where he came from, and I didn't know where he came from. But the strange thing is that obviously all the violinists don't know this person, and they have never seen this person before, but all the violinists know that this person's name is 'Zhu Xiang', which seems to come out of thin air, which is very strange.

Hearing this, Li Bai was even more curious, so he went to talk to Zhu Xiang every day, telling him some interesting things about himself and his own views on the piano. Although Zhu Xiang didn't deal with him at all, Li Bai still didn't go to him for a day, and gradually came and went, he regarded Zhu Xiang as a confidant, whether he was happy or unhappy, Li Bai told Zhu Xiang together. And Zhu Xiang also does not set a day, he comes at the beginning of the day and leaves at sunset, the same place, the same location, unchanged.

In addition to opening the piano, Li Bai was also interested in Yidao, and he also worshipped a master called Tang Yao in the chess workshop. This person's game skills are very powerful, no one in the entire chess workshop can win him, and later those chess players who lost were not convinced, so they teamed up with everyone in the entire chess workshop to play against Tang Yao, with hundreds of people, fighting Tang Yao alone.

This game was bloody and exciting, and it lasted for three months. The reason why it is so time-consuming is because every time Tang Yao makes a move, these chess players have to think about it for a long time. At first, it took them a few hours, and gradually, it took ten days and a half months to break a move. During this period, several people couldn't think of a solution, and they didn't think about tea and dinner, and finally became seriously ill and almost returned to the West.

Li Bai is one of them.

He wanted to break the chess move and defeat Tang Yao, but the result was not even a single move. This made Li Bai feel a lot of frustration in his heart, and he understood what it means to have people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky. After his illness improved slightly, Li Bai went to the piano workshop and told Zhu Xiang about it. Unexpectedly, Zhu Xiang finally opened his golden mouth after hearing this, and said to Li Bai: "Don't bother thinking about it like this, no one of you can break that game of chess." ”

Hearing Zhu Xiang speak, Li Bai was surprised, the second chess and piano workshop has been opened for more than six years, Zhu Xiang has been here since Li Bai was ten years old, and it has been four years now. In the past four years, Li Bai has never heard Zhu Xiang say half a word, and for many times, Li Bai even thought that he was deaf and mute, and he only went to the piano shop to drink some tea.

After all, the tea prepared by Yuewa for all the piano masters is a precious and high-quality thing from all over the world, and it is changed every seven days, never repeated, and even some tea cannot be drunk elsewhere at all. I never thought that at this moment on this day, Zhu Xiang would be golden-mouthed, which is really incredible.

"You ......" Li Bai was extremely surprised, and looked at Zhu Xiang: "You can actually speak?" ”

"Of course!" Zhu Xiang picked up the tea on the table and sniffed it: "I'm not dumb. With that, he took a sip of tea.

"Then why have you ignored me for four years?" Li Bai was puzzled, and his brows were solemn: "Isn't it that I did something wrong?" Makes you unhappy? ”

"Definitely!" Zhu Xiang put down the tea in his hand, closed his eyes as a master, leaned on the pillar, and said, "You have grown a lot in the past four years, and there is nothing wrong with it. And the reason why I don't speak is because I don't want to speak, that's all. ”

"And now?" Li Bai asked: "Why do you want to say it?" Is it because of the game of chess played by Master Tang? ”

"Definitely!" Zhu Xiang still leaned against the pillar, didn't open his eyes, and said, "I didn't want to see you so distressed when I spoke." That game of chess is called 'Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang', not to mention a hundred people, even if it is ten thousand, it cannot be broken. ”

"Is it really that powerful?" Li Baisheng was suspicious and asked, "Then can you break it?" ”

"Of course!"

"Really?" Li Bai was still skeptical and asked, "Then can you tell me to listen to it?" If you can really break the chess move and win the Tang Master, then how about I give you this piano workshop? ”

"What do I want this piano shop to do?" Zhu Xiang opened his eyes again, took a sip of the tea on the table, and said, "I came here just to see that your tea is quite good, so I just drank some of it!" ”

Li Bai didn't speak for a long time after listening, and looked at Zhu Xiang with a strange look, but Zhu Xiang didn't care, and leaned against the pillar and closed his eyes. After a long time, Li Bai shook his head and asked, "Then you can play the piano?" Can you get through the piano? ”

"I understand!"

"Can you take a look?"

"I don't play the piano anymore!" Zhu Xiang opened his eyes and looked at Li Bai: "However, I can call my apprentice to play it to you." ”

"Your apprentice?" Li Bai was curious and asked, "Who is it?" Where? Do you dare to compete with me? ”

"Do you see this piano behind me?" Zhu Xiang took another sip of tea and said, "This is my apprentice's, but unfortunately I have been waiting here for four years, and my apprentice has not yet come." ”

"Since you didn't come, don't wait!" Li Bai was happy and said, "How about you accept me as an apprentice?" ”

"Even if I think about it, you and I don't have this fate yet!" Zhu Xiang closed his eyes again, leaned against the pillar, and said, "Don't worry, my apprentice will come to play the piano to you, it won't take long." ”

Li Bai was a little disappointed when he heard this refusal, and he was also a little surprised, helpless, and asked: "Then can you teach me how to win Master Tang?" In March, I couldn't even break his moves, which was too frustrating. ”

"It's not hard to win against him, I have a way to make him lose completely."

"How?"

"You come here."
