Chapter 68: Three Sheet Music (1)
The next morning, after about an hour's journey, the crowd arrived at a hill in the northwest of Huizhou.
Zhou Dashan pointed to the town under the mountain and said, "Master Xiao, ahead is Bole Town, where the Maxima tribe is located. Let me report first. With that, he slapped his horse and galloped to Bole Town.
Xiao Muzuo was afraid of alarming the ordinary people in Bole Town, so he asked everyone to take back the summoned beast mounts three miles away from the town and take a carriage or walk instead.
When the crowd came to the entrance of the town, a group of men and horses appeared in front of them. The head starter is about 40 years old, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a high nose bridge. Riding a brown horse, wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, his bearing is extraordinary and very eye-catching.
There are two horses behind him, one is Zhou Dashan, and the other is a young descendant, with a good coat and a dust, looking very elegant.
Behind these three men, sixteen armored warriors stood at each end with large axes, leaving a five-man wide road in the middle, which stretched to the bottom of the archway in Bole Town.
Seeing Xiao Muzuo and others walk in, everyone dismounted to greet them. Zhou Dashan immediately introduced everyone, and the middle-aged man who took the lead in the middle was Yuwen Botong, the patriarch of the Maxima tribe. The young son next to him is his eldest son, Yu Wenhua.
Yuwen Botong said: "Master Xiao came from afar, and Botong missed the ......"
Xiao Muzuo immediately replied: "Where, where, we have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Hall and disturb the patriarch." ”
It is not surprising that there are many people with high status, the more they pay attention to etiquette.
After some greetings, Yuwen Botong invited everyone to a lobby and arranged a banquet to entertain everyone.
Knowing that Xiao Muzuo and the others had indeed solved the trouble of Yingzhao in Huaiyin Cave, they were overjoyed and immediately asked people to take the first step to open the closed hole.
Yuwen Botong said: "Our old patriarch has set a rule, no matter who or what method is used, as long as he helps us destroy the monsters in the cave, he can obtain a treasure of his tribe." Please also ask Master Xiao to accept it. ”
Xiao Muzuo immediately excused himself and said: "It is the duty of our rune master to eliminate the strange beasts that are causing chaos, and we will never dare to clean up any more benefits." I only hope that the patriarch can lift the seal that the dead man cannot get out of the cave, so that we can bring back the remains of the two Blue Dragon Society. ”
Yuwen Botong said: "Of course! Zhou Dashan has already told me the details. A few of you will rest for the night, and tomorrow I will rush to the Huaiyin Cave with everyone and close the enchantment. ”
Xiao Muzuo said: "Then thank you very much." ”
Yuwen Botong said: "But the rules set by the old patriarch can't be broken, and I ask Master Xiao to see what this treasure is, and then make a decision." So he clapped his hands.
Soon, a maid brought a wooden box.
After opening the wooden box, Yuwen Botong took out a piece of paper and handed it to Xiao Muzuo and said: "I don't know if Master Xiao has ever heard of this sheet of "Hu Ji Eighteen Beats"? ”
Xiao Muzuo took it and looked at it and said: "This "Hu Ji Eighteen Beats" is said to have been written by Cai Wenji, a talented woman in the late Han Dynasty, one chapter is one beat, a total of eighteen chapters, so it has this name. This sheet music appears to be the sheet music for the first chapter. ”
Yuwen Botong clapped his hands and said: "Master Xiao is really an elegant person, and his knowledge is extraordinary. ”
Xiao Muzuo asked again: "The piano score is the treasure that the patriarch said?" ”
Yuwen Botong said with a smile: "Exactly, I heard that this is not only a piano score, but also a treasure map, but no one in my clan has seen any clues from it for many years." Therefore, the former patriarch had an order to give this thing to the destined person, and whoever can solve the trouble of Yingzhao in the Huaiyin Cave is the destined person. ”
Xiao Muzuo said: "This trick was finally accepted by my eldest apprentice, and it seems that he is the one who is destined." Then he handed the score to Duan Yunhan and said, "You are also a little bit of a good musician, see if you can see any clues?" ”
Duan Yunhan took the score and looked at it, this score was exactly the same as the two sheets on his body in terms of material and writing method. One is "Mountains and Flowing Water" handed over to him by Ouyang Juyi before his death, and the other is "Three Alleys of Plum Blossoms" found in Duanmu's hateless relics.
Seeing this "Hu Ji Eighteen Beats" again, he was stunned in his heart, and said secretly: "Why is this kind of piano score again?" How many sheets are there? ”
Xiao Muzuo saw that Duan Yunhan's expression was a little strange, as if he saw something, and asked, "Have you seen the secret?" ”
Duan Yunhan didn't dare to tell Xiao Muzuo that he had two piano scores of the same material at the moment, because both Ouyang Juyi and Duanmu Wuxian asked him to keep it a secret.
The eldest husband kept his word, and since he promised to keep it a secret, he would not say it under any circumstances.
Moreover, Duan Yunhan understood that letting others know that Ouyang Juyi and Bai Guo had met with him and Kong Hesi before they died, I was afraid that it would bring unnecessary trouble, or even disaster, to the Blue Dragon Society and the Xuanwu Society.
Hearing the master's inquiry, Duan Yunhan immediately raised the score above his head, looked through the sunlight, and said, "This looks like an ordinary sheet music, dare to ask the patriarch if he knows the origin of this score?" ”
Yuwen Botong said: "It is said that it was written by a Jiangnan rune master called Quanxu Daochang! ”
"Oh! Quan Xu Dao Chief? Could it be the Quanxu Taoist of the Tai Chi Sect? Xiao Muzuo was a little surprised.
Yuwen Botong asked rhetorically: "Could it be that the head of Xiao knows this Dao Master?" ”
Xiao Muzuo said: "Daoist Quan Xu is a senior master in the Jiangnan Taiji Sect, but he is low-key and does not often walk around the rivers and lakes, and his reputation is far inferior to his senior brother Quan Ming Dao Chang and junior brothers Quan Yan and Quan Fa. If it is the pen and ink he leaves, no matter what is written, it will be a treasure to us Jiangnan rune masters. ”
Yuwen Botong asked again: "Has Master Xiao ever seen this Daoist?" ”
Xiao Muzuo shook his head and said, "This Quanxu Daoist is a teacher-level figure of the Taizhong Daoist, the current head of the Taiji Sect, and he is two generations older than me. I was born a few years later and didn't have the chance to meet this Coat. In my Five Elements Alliance, I'm afraid that only the eldest Suzaku Huiwei Sect has met once. ”
Duan Yunhan said: "To solve the bell, you must tie the bell, if there is really any secret in this score, the person who knows how to decipher it must be a person in the Tai Chi Sect." ”
"It makes sense, it makes sense!" Yuwen Botong nodded and said: "But we have never had any contact with the people in the Tai Chi Sect, and I am afraid that we can't ask them about the secrets, and we need to bring someone to the Tai Chi Sect to ask for details." ”
Xiao Muzuo said: "Since it is a secret, I am afraid that the people in the Tai Chi Sect will not reveal it at will!" ”
Yuwen Botong nodded and said, "No matter what, I will give this thing to Master Xiao today." Whether you can unlock the secret or not, it's up to you! ”
Xiao Muzuo immediately excused himself and said: "The Tai Chi Sect is the authentic Xuanmen of the Rune Master, and the Quan Xu Daoist is even more proficient, and there must be articles among the things he left behind, which are invaluable." Xiao didn't dare to take such a big gift, and the patriarch was able to lift the enchantment, and it was our greatest expectation that the two disciples of the Blue Dragon Society could come out. ”
