Xian'er smiled sweetly: "Does Master Hou like it?" ”

Qi Ning frowned and said, "Xian'er, this ..... This is a treasure that you can't find, you.... How can you give it to me? He took it off and said, "It's too precious for me to take it." ”

He naturally knew that the preciousness of this black python scale was no longer something that could be measured by silver, and a treasure like this could not be bought with silver.

Xian'er's pretty face with a sweet smile immediately went down peacefully, grabbed Qi Ning's arm, and didn't let him fade his armor, those pure and beautiful eyes stared at Qi Ning's eyes, but her voice seemed to be a little choked: "Master Hou, you ..... Do you say it's a fairy baby, or is this black python scale precious? ”

Qi Ning immediately said: "The black python scales are naturally extremely precious, but in my eyes, they are far from being immortals. ”

Xian'er said: "Xian'er has already handed herself over to Hou Ye, if Xian'er is more precious than black python scales, then what is it if black python scales are handed over to Hou Ye?" Everything owned by Xian'er belongs to Hou Ye, this black python scale is Xian'er's thing, and now it is given to Hou Ye, shouldn't there be? ”

Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, and sighed lightly: "Xian'er, do you know that this one piece of treasure armor alone can make countless people lose their lives for it." ”

"So Master Hou will wear it close to his body in the future, just don't let people know." Xian'er Qingmei smiled: "Hou Ye often goes out, if someone wants to be unfavorable to Hou Ye, this black python scale can at least play some role." ”

"Xian'er, where did you get this black python scale?" Qi Ning really wondered in his heart, this black python scale is precious and abnormal, even the royal treasury may not be able to have such a treasure, Zhuo Xian'er is just a singer on the Qinhuai River, how can she have such a precious thing.

Xian'er's beautiful eyes flowed, and she bit her lip before she said, "Isn't Hou Ye talking nonsense?" ”

Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought that he had just promised Xian'er not to ask about the origin of this black python scale, although his heart was full of doubts, but after all, it was not good to live up to his words, not to mention that Xian'er gave this treasure armor to himself, it was impossible to have any malice, and said with a smile: "Forget the words, I don't ask." ”

At this time, but I heard the sound of suona outside, Qi Ning was a little strange, put on his clothes, walked to the cabin, opened the window, Xian'er also followed the side, the two looked for prestige from the window, only to see that on the avenue on the bank of the river, a team was slowly passing by.

Qi Ning's eyesight is excellent, and the painting boat is docked not far from the shore, the scene on the road is very clear, only to see the front is a dozen boys and girls with braids, carrying a basket of flowers in their hands, walking out of a way, they will throw out a petal, behind the boys and girls, four red-clothed men carry a mahogany throne, the throne is surrounded by brilliance, the decoration is very exquisite, and on the throne, an old Taoist priest dressed in a gossip robe is sitting cross-legged on it, holding the dust, long beard fluttering, beard and hair are white, It seems that he is sixty or seventy years old.

On either side of the mahogany throne, there were four blue-robed Taoist priests guarding them, followed by thirty or forty gray-robed Taoist priests.

Qi Ning frowned slightly, thinking about where these Taoist priests came from, how could they be so swaggering in the capital, and couldn't help but ask the Xian'er beside him: "Xian'er, is there a Taoist temple around here?" ”

Xian'er said: "Wende Bridge is only a few miles to the east, there seems to be a Zhenyuan Temple, they say that it is a Taoist temple, but Xian'er has not been there." ”

"True Yuan Guan?"

"Zhenyuan Temple is the largest Taoist temple in the capital, but the incense is not abundant." Xian'er explained: "I heard them say before that Emperor Taizu, the founding emperor of the Chu State, was seriously injured and almost ..... He almost lost his life, but it was a few monks who helped heal his injuries. Emperor Taizu was grateful, began to worship Buddhism, Emperor Taizong, but also decreed that the Daguang Temple of Bauhinia Mountain became a royal temple, since then the state of Chu has always been to worship Buddha and suppress the Tao, the Buddha incense is prosperous, and the Taoist gate seems to be worse day by day. ”

"I see." Qi Ning bowed slightly, the status of the Great Light Temple in the Chu State, he was naturally clear.

Xian'er said: "I heard that the incense of Zhenyuanguan was fine in the early years, but the incense has become weaker and weaker in the past ten years, not many people have gone to incense, and the court does not ask, and when there are more, there are hundreds of Taoist priests in Zhenyuanguan, but now it seems that there are only twenty or thirty people, and it is becoming more and more deserted." ”

"These Taoist priests are Taoist priests of the True Yuan Temple?" Qi Ning looked at the procession passing by the shore and asked softly.

Xian'er shook her head and said, "Xian'er doesn't know either." Yesterday, a group of Taoist priests also passed by the shore, but there was no such pomp as today, but the style of Taoist robes was not much different. ”

Qi Ning suddenly thought of something, his brows furrowed, and he said with a smile: "It should be a Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain." ”

"Dragon Tiger Mountain?"

"The emperor is about to get married, and before the wedding, he will go to the imperial tomb to worship, and this monk and Taoist priest are indispensable." Qi Ning turned around with a smile, Xian'er closed the window with her hand, Qi Ning went over and sat down and said, "I heard that one or two hundred Taoist priests are coming from Longhu Mountain, and these Taoist priests are going to participate in the sacrifice to the imperial tomb." He smiled faintly and said, "But the pomp and circumstance of these Taoist priests is really not small, and the swagger is too much." ”

Xian'er sat down beside Qi Ning and said with a light smile: "The incense of the Great Guangming Temple is flourishing, even we ordinary people know that Buddhism is prosperous, and the Taoist gate is declining, these Taoist priests are only afraid of being uncomfortable, so this time I came to the capital, and I intended to do some pomp, just to let the people see it." ”

Qi Ning laughed and said, "Leave them alone." Xian'er, come here today, you haven't played the piano yet, play a tune to listen. ”

Xian'er smiled sweetly: "What song does Master Hou want to listen to?" ”

"I love to listen to all the songs that Xian'er plays." Qi Ning said: "You can just play." ”

Xian'er used to sit down by the zither, tuned the strings, and did not hesitate, the bamboo shoots stroked, and the beautiful melody immediately sounded in the cabin, compared to the tune that Xian'er had played before, this song seemed ethereal and beautiful, fresh and smooth, and it seemed to reflect Xian'er's current mood is really good.

Qi Ning squinted his eyes slightly, savoring Xian'er's piano skills, but suddenly remembered in his heart that with Xian'er's attainments in piano skills, if he handed over the Jizo music score to Xian'er to watch, he might really be able to get a glimpse of some strange things from it.

It's just that Xian'er gave him a black python scale today, which certainly moved Qi Ning's heart, but because of this, there was a trace of doubt in his heart.

The black python scales are absolutely extraordinary, according to the identity and environment of Zhuo Xian'er, it is impossible to have such a treasure armor, a person who should not have such a treasure has it, which is naturally very strange, although Qi Ning has said it first, it is not good to ask Xian'er about the origin of the black python scales, but he still has doubts about the origin of the black python scales obtained by Xian'er.

With such doubts, even if he is grateful to Xian'er in his heart, it is not easy to bring the Jizo music score.

The matter of Jizo music score is very important, and Qi Ning has to be cautious.

After a song, Qi Ning clapped his hands and smiled: "Xian'er's piano skills are exquisite, there is a saying that the aftermath lingers around the beam for three days, and I see that Xian'er's piano sound lingers around the beam for more than three years." ”

Xian'er said shyly: "Master Hou is making fun of Xian'er again." ”

Qi Ning moved over and sat down beside the guzheng, took a closer look at the guzheng, and asked, "Xian'er, in addition to this guzheng, do you know any other musical instruments?" ”

Xian'er said: "Master Hou, Xian'er is only a shallow learner, and she doesn't know much. However, there are many types of guqin alone, and if you play the same song with a new guqin, a real master can hear the difference. ”

"Huh?" Qi Ning sat up straight: "And say that?" ”

"The ancient saying that Hou Ye just said has a great origin." Xian'er said: "The aftermath is around the beam, and it is endless for three days, in fact, the word around the beam is one of the four famous pianos." ”

"Wrapping beams? Famous piano? Qi Ning was stunned, he really didn't know anything about it.

Xian'er explained: "The so-called four famous pianos are the trumpet bell, the winding beam, the green qi and the scorching tail. ”

Qi Ning thought to himself that among the four famous pianos, "Jiaowei" seemed to have heard of it slightly, but the other three pianos were heard of for the first time, and asked: "What is the importance of this famous piano?" ”

"The four famous pianos have their own strengths, and their rhythms are also different." Xian'er is obviously an expert in the way of the piano, and her voice is soft: "For example, the sound of the horn is loud, like the sound of the bell, like the sound of the bell, the horn rings for a long time, if there is a sad song of generosity or solemn and solemn law played by the horn bell, there is no piano in the whole world." ”

"What does Lu Qi say?"

"Green ......!" Xian'er hesitated for a moment, then blushed slightly and said, "If there is a beautiful sound played by Lu Qi, it will make people ..... It makes people drunk and immersed in it. ”

Qi Ning smiled, he knew very little about the Qin Dao, and when he heard Xian'er mention it, he was really a little interested, and said with a smile: "Then the Liangliang Guqin is naturally suitable for the ethereal and elegant law?" ”

Xian'er smiled softly and said: "What Hou Ye said is extremely true, and the song of freshness and purity is longer around the beam. ”

"Xian'er is really knowledgeable." Qi Ning smiled: "If you don't say it, I don't know anything about this." Yes, Xian'er, are these four famous pianos the most famous in this world? ”

Xian'er shook her head and said, "Naturally not." The reason why these four pianos are called the four famous pianos is only because there are many people who know them, and in the piano examinations that have been handed down, the praise for these four pianos is extremely high. After a pause, he said: "There are still some legendary guqins, few people know them, and they are rarely mentioned in many qin exams, and even some are only in legends, whether they exist in the world, it is difficult to know whether they are true or false." ”

"And such a powerful guqin?"

Xian'er said with a smile: "Master Hou naturally knows that there are many masters in this world who have hidden in the world, although they are full of talent, but no one knows their names, or even their existence. The same is true for this guqin, although it has no reputation, it may not not exist. ”

"Does that fairy know if there is still this kind of guqin in this world?"

Xian'er pondered for a moment before she said: "Xian'er has also heard legends that above the four famous qins, there are at least two guqins that are rare in the world, one is birdling, and one is a phoenix!" ”

"Bird language?" Qi Ningqi said: "Phoenix? ”

"Birds play a hundred birds, and the phoenix makes Bitao!" There was a hint of solemnity between Xian'er's eyebrows: "The legendary bird language and the phoenix are both divine objects that fell into the mortal world from the nine heavens. ”
