Jiang Tuo moved the art mound, the piano case, and the piano bench over.

Zhao Yun looked around and said, "With such a good view, there is no need for a piano case." You help me get to the rock on the other side, and I'll play the harp there." ”

On the opposite bank there happens to be a slightly larger flat rock, which protrudes slightly into the waterhole. Zhao Yun walked up, sat down cross-legged, and put the piano on his lap.

Xiao Jian said across the waterhole: "Jiang Tuo, you burn more incense beside Zhao Gongzi." The most mosquitoes and flies are found near the water. Yes, be careful with yourself, don't fall off when you forget when you stroke the piano. ”

Everything is fine.

Zhao Yun began to stroke the qin.

In the quiet of the night, all around is quiet. The sound of the piano floated from across the waterhole. Zhao Yun played "Empty Valley Youlan". This is an ordinary piano song that everyone knows, and the melody is familiar and detailed, but Zhao Yun played it with an art mound, and "Hollow Valley Orchid" showed a different style. The timbre of the piano itself constitutes the music, and the music becomes a kind of carrier, as if the melody of the music is only to show the timbre of the qin from different angles.

Under the rippling water and lanterns, Zhao Yun was like a fairy flying from the sky, sitting peacefully on the stone by the waterhole, calmly caressing the art mound. All the people are crazy and stupid.

At the end of the song, everyone didn't come back to their senses for a long time. Jiang Tuo held the art mound and followed Zhao Yun back to his seat, and everyone eased up.

"I've forgotten that you played 'Hollow Valley Orchid'. I didn't seem to know what you were playing, but I just heard the music. No, it's not music, it's a holy sound that floats down from the sky. Dou Funing said stupidly, "Yun, you are really an immortal from outside the world." ”

"Brother Funing, this is all the magic of Geizuka. I've never seen the sound quality and sound effects of Izuka before. Jane, are you going to tell me about the origin of this art mound? ”

"Okay. Jean is certainly no stranger to everyone. But I bet you'll never guess what kind of wood this piano is made of. ”

"Paulownia?" "It's not."

"Cedar?" "It's not."

"Willow?" "It's not."

"Ash?" "It's not."

"Kashiwagi?" "It's not."

"Basswood?" "It's not."

Zhao Yundu was a little anxious, and said: "There are only a few kinds of wood for making the piano, can the art mound be other wood?" ”

Xiao Jian touched Zhao Yun's head with his hand and said, "Yes, it's another wood, it's camphor wood." ”

Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "No, no, no, no, it is absolutely impossible." The camphor wood is stupid and blocked, how can it be used to make a piano, how can it make such a supernatural sound. I have never seen or heard of a harp made of camphor wood. ”

"Okay, so first of all, tell me what kind of materials you have used and seen, and what are their characteristics?"

"Okay. The pianos I use are mainly pine pianos and tongqins, but I also know a little about other materials. The materials of the qin are mainly pine, cedar, willow, ash, purple linden, cedar and paulownia. Let's start with the piano. Songyan people like pine trees the most, so they specially choose good wood after the thousand-year-old pine has dried up to make the piano. The piano is made of pine, the sound of the piano is loose, suitable for cultivators to caress it, and the color of the material varies according to the different varieties of pine. There is also a fir wood. The ancient fir in the southern mountains is also a good material for chopping the qin, the southern violinist likes the fir wood chopping the qin, especially likes to use the ruined fir in the ancient tomb to chop the qin, the fir qin color is light yellow, the texture is straight, the structure is coarse, and the sound of the piano is clear. Then there is the willow wood qin, the color is slightly white, the ancient material is yellow-brown, the texture is fine and straight, the willow qin, the sound of the piano is clear and thick, scattered, pan, press are good, the overtone is particularly refreshing and sensitive. More than 100 years of ash can also be chopped qin, the color is yellow-brown, there is a pattern luster, and the sound of the qin is grand and dignified after becoming a qin. There is also a purple linden qin, the color is yellow-brown, the texture is delicate and soft, the wood grain has a silk luster, and the sound of the piano is clear and round. Cedar can also be used to chop the qin, the color is yellow and red, the texture is straight or oblique, the structure is fine, the aroma is strong, but the cypress belongs to the yincai, rarely seen in the qin, the sound of the piano has a golden stone rhyme, the sound is clear and moist, but it is slightly less loose. The most common and best material for cutting the qin is paulownia wood, and the piano of paulownia wood has a moist and simple sound quality, with gold and stone rhyme. There is nothing in the world that goes beyond these materials. However, this art mound has all the advantages of the above materials, strange, ancient, transparent, moist, quiet, round, even, clear, fragrant, almost all. With my weak skills and shallow knowledge, I can't see what its shortcomings are. I thought it was ugly. But when I listened to the sound quality, I now felt that it was not ugly, but otherworldly. ”

"Do you think I'm otherworldly, then?" Dou Funing asked.

"Hahaha. Brother Funing is of course otherworldly. Zhao Yun said.

"It's over, it's over. I'm the same as Izuka, I'm also ugly, and the ugly ones are otherworldly. ”

Xiao Jian laughed a few times and said, "Funing, don't make trouble. We're talking about the origin of the izuka. ”

"Yes, yes, you can say it." Zhao Yun urged.

"This mound is indeed made of camphor wood. Although the tree species made by this art mound is ordinary, the experience is very unusual. Legend has it that 500 years ago, a caravan of Sumida came from the mysterious country of Somida outside the desert of Xiangting County, and one of them, a purple-eyed young man named Gulano, met a beautiful local young girl by the waterhole in the Zhushui County. She is the daughter of a luthier, and Gulano admires the culture of Middle-earth, and is even more fond of the piano, and the two fall in love with each other and make a private agreement for life. Finally, it was time for the Somidar caravan to leave, and the Somida caravan had very big rules, and all of them had to travel collectively, and they were not allowed to act alone or stay in the local area without returning, and they could not bring outsiders into the country without the consent of the domestic commander, so Gulano could only leave with the caravan, temporarily separated from the caravan, and Gulano promised to return to the country and beg the general to allow him to marry the river, and then he would come back to pick him up. On the occasion of the parting of the two, in addition to giving Gulano a piano, he also gave Gulano a bag of camphor trees unique to the county of Hushui, hoping that Gulano would plant camphor in his Suomitra home to relieve Gulano of his lovesickness. That Gulano was actually the youngest son of the Grand Commander, and after returning to China, he was severely reprimanded by the Grand Commander, who refused Gulano's request, and from then on strictly forbade Gulano to go abroad with the caravan again. Gulano planted camphor trees at home, but only one seedling grew and survived. Gulano was lovesick, and he guarded the camphor and fuqin every day, and finally became ill, and died three years later, and begged the commander to bury him and the qin under the camphor before his death, and asked the caravan to tell him that he had died and did not wait for him when he arrived in the county of Huanshui. Later, when he learned of this from the mouth of the Somida caravan, he was overwhelmed with grief and threw himself into the waterhole to be martyred. As you all know, the flowers of the camphor tree are pure white. But the camphor tree planted by Gulano and the one by the waterhole have purple flowers, just like the color of Gulano's eyes. These two purple camphors became the sacred trees and totems of the Somida caravan. Five hundred years later, two Purple Camphor trees were struck by lightning and burned at the same time, leaving only a section of scorched wood. The word "湫" is naturally generated on the scorched wood of the purple flower camphor of Suomida, and the word "ancient" is naturally generated on the scorched wood of the purple flower camphor in the water pool of the country of Hushui County. Because Gulano admired the culture of Middle-earth, the Suo Mi Ta people brought the purple flower camphor scorched wood with the word "湫" from Suomita to the county of Hushui, and combined it with the word "ancient" scorched wood, and asked the qin master Kuang Chu to cut the two pieces of scorched wood into two pianos, and left them to Kuang Chu, and they stayed in the county of Hushui forever, satisfying the wishes of the two. Kuang Chu originally thought that these two pianos were just made into a piano to fulfill the deceased, but he never expected that these two pianos were unparalleled artifacts, and the sound quality was far from being comparable to the world's famous pianos. ”

Everyone was dumbfounded. But Dou Funing said: "This is apocryphal. ”

Xiao Jian shook his head and said, "Funing, this is not made up, this is a real thing that happened in the Shui County. Kuang Chu had just passed away a few days ago in the county of Huanshui, and before his death, he dedicated these two qinjin to the king of the county of Huanshui, hoping to preserve them in the royal family for future generations. The king of the water county did not dare to enjoy it alone, so he dedicated it to his father. Because I love music, my father gave me these two instruments. ”

Dou Funing said with a disapproving look: "It turned out to be a gift from Xiao Kejin, so this story is even more debatable." Xiao Ke and his mother know every day that he is pretending to be a ghost, so I don't believe him! ”

Xiao Jian said with a straight face: "Funing, don't talk nonsense." What does this have to do with Jieyu Niangniang, don't talk like this in the future. ”

Dou Funing stuck out his tongue, turned his face and asked Zhao Yun, "Okay, Brother Jian." Brother Yun, do you believe this story is true? ”

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Well, I want to believe that this is true." I don't know what His Royal Highness the King of the Water Warrior is, but this piano is clearly placed here, and its extraordinary sound quality cannot be denied in any way. There are no wonders in this world, if there is no extraordinary adventure, how can the camphor wood make such a strange and beautiful sound. Zhao Yun suddenly thought of something, turned his face and asked Xiao Jian: "Then this art mound, is it the word '湫' scorched wood, or the word 'ancient' scorched wood?" Where's the other one? ”

"Guess what." Xiao Jian looked at everyone and said.

Everyone shook their heads. Zhao Yungang was about to open his mouth to guess that this one was the word "湫" Jiaomu. Who knew that Dou Funing pouted and said, "Oh, who could have guessed this?!" Brother Jian, don't sell it, tell us quickly. ”

"This is a combination of the word '湫' and the word 'ancient'. After my father gave me these two instruments, I asked the Holy Capital Qin Master Hua Zheng to combine the two instruments into one and form one instrument. In this way, the word '湫' and the word 'ancient' will no longer need to be separated. Tsuru and Gulano never had to be separated again. ”

Zhao Yun looked at Jian Jian with stunned eyes, and said warmly: "Jane, I thank you for Yun and Gulano." It's you who let them have lovers and finally become married. ”

Hua Yun raised the pottery cup and said, "Your Highness is really a person of the most affectionate and sexual. In the subtleties, you can see His Royal Highness's true temperament and big heart. His Royal Highness will be a generation of virtuous kings who think about what the people think and are anxious about what the people are anxious about. Hua Yun is fortunate that the infatuation between Huan and Gulano has been fulfilled by His Royal Highness! I am fortunate that the people of Fushui have the benevolence and righteousness of His Royal Highness! Come! After saying that, he raised his hands and drank it on his back.

Xiao Jian also raised the plain pottery cup, drank it all, and said, "Hua Gongzi praised it falsely." However, I agree with what you just said, that to serve the government is to fulfill the people. This is the same as fulfilling the infatuation between the two. Come, let's drink a cup together for the art mound. ”

Zhao Yun was very excited, stood up and came here, directly raised the plain pottery bottle and drank it all, his face immediately flushed, Zhao Yun looked at the art mound, and then said to Xiao Jian: "Jane, I don't want to call this qin the art mound, this name is not appropriate, I want to change the name of it, I want to call it the ancient times." Good no good? ”

Xiao Jian helped Zhao Yun, who was swaying, and said with a smile: "Yun, this qin is yours, you can call it whatever you want." ”

"Okay, then I'll call it the Ancient Age, and in the future, it will be my Ancient Tree." Zhao Yun stepped forward, hugged Yu Gu and said, "Where are the words 'Hu' and 'Gu'?" I'd like to take a look. ”

"When I put the original two pianos together, I sealed the words '湫' and 'Gu' in front of each other, so that the two characters no longer need to be separated. Yu and Gulano didn't live together before they died, and I don't think they want anyone to bother them now. ”

"You're so nice, Jane." Zhao Yun said.

Hua Yun also said: "Your Highness is really a loving and righteous person. ”

Rong Yong also nodded in approval. Rong Yong was thinking in his heart that his sister Rong Yong's name also had the word "湫", and it seemed that there was indeed a lot of fate between Xiao Jian and his sister.

Dou Funing pouted and said, "Brother Jian, you are eccentric." ”

"What's wrong?" Xiao Jian asked.

"You gave me all the good instruments, but you didn't give me anything. I'm not happy. ”

"You just said you didn't believe the story of this qin, and now you're starting to be jealous again." Xiao Jian said.

"It was just now, and it's now. I don't care, you're going to give me a gift anyway. Tell me, what gift will you give me? ”

"I won't remember for a while, what do you want?"

"Hmm...... I won't be able to remember it for a while, or you will pay me what you owe me first, and you will give it to me when I remember. Dou Funing pursed his lips and said.

"Okay, Funing."

The moonlight is beautiful, and a full moon hangs in the air, echoing the full moon in the waterhole.

"It's so beautiful here, it's even more pleasant than Linglong Flower Creek." Dou Funing was a little drunk, leaned on Xiao Jian's shoulder, pulled Zhao Yun with one hand, and pointed to the waterhole with the other.

Sure enough, the moonlight is sultry and the scenery is chic.

"I've given this garden a name, will you hear it?" Dou Funing shouted.

Everyone said yes in unison.

Dou Funing stood up, stood outside the pavilion, tore off a rose branch, and said, "How about calling it 'Weizhi Reflecting Moon Pool'?" ”

Hua Yun first said yes.

Xiao Jian said: "What do you do with such a mouthful, and it's too straightforward." Let you read more "poems", but you never obey. Now it's timid, right? ”

Dou Funing stopped, turned around, put the rose on Xiao Jian's head, and said, "You are amazing, tell me, what is this place called?" ”

Xiao Jian smiled and said, "Let Yun come and get it, he is good at this." ”

"Nope." Dou Funing said drunkenly, "Yundu has already named Naqin." You can't be so biased. ”

The crowd laughed. Xiao Jian said: "Then let Rong Yong Gongzi come and take it, he is full of history books, and there must be good sentences." ”

Rong Yong said, "Your Highness, I'm really not good at this. Let's invite His Royal Highness and Gongzi Dou to come. ”

Hua Yun laughed and said, "You are all so humble, let me take it." And they all looked at him. Hua Yun thought seriously for a while, and said with understanding: "I see, it's called 'Beautiful Pool', which is the most appropriate." Hahahaha. ”

It turned out to be a joke, which made Dou Funing laugh all the time, and said while coughing: "You Hua Yun, if you laugh me to death, be careful that Brother Jian pulls your skin." Hahaha. But I'm laughing to death, 'beautiful pool', you might as well call it 'beautiful pool' and 'comfortable pool'. Hahaha. Punish you to feast with me tomorrow. Today you will be punished for drinking up a whole bottle of sake. Hahaha, I'm laughing to death. ”

Hua Yun laughed and held up a plain pottery bottle and said, "Happy today, how about drinking another bottle?" ”

"Forget it." Xiao Jian said, "Tomorrow, the queen will go to Yinglu Palace to visit Yun Jiao'e Niangniang." You don't want to get drunk. ”

"Huh?!" Hua Yun instantly woke up from the excitement. He had long heard of Empress Luo's jealousy, and it was not a good thing for Empress Yu to visit Yinglu Palace in person. Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor has already made a clear decree, and without His Majesty's will, no one is allowed to enter or leave Yinglu Palace. But in front of Xiao Jian, this is not easy to say.

Xiao Jian said: "Today is already very enjoyable. Classes will start tomorrow, so it shouldn't be too late today. Let's have another drink. See you again another day. ”
