Chapter 026: Half the Level

Waiting for the calligraphy master and the carving master's work, Shu Hui picked up the "Nine Heavens Ring Pei" and asked Boss Lei to mark him with a more perfect dragon pool and phoenix marsh.

Although he couldn't understand why Shu Hui had the intention of re-combining the piano after inlaying this piano with Baoyu, Boss Lei didn't ask much, picked up this Fuxi style and played a few scattered notes and glissandos over and over again.

Then he sent his disciples to take out a piece of paper for the piano case, and drew on it the reasonable size and shape of the groove that was tested after the qin. Shu Hui asked him to concoct the "Great Sage's Last Voice" in the same way, but Boss Lei shook his head and complied.

Although the Great Sage's Last Voice has a lesson from the past, Boss Lei is still a little conservative when digging his belly. Because of the limited range of binders available, it is not possible to pass the winding test and then re-load the bottom plate after the correction of the groove belly.

Because of the use of natural materials, the characteristics of each instrument are slightly different. After Boss Lei wound the two pianos, although he estimated a more perfect groove structure through years of experience in making the violin, it could not be implemented. At this moment, Shu Hui asked him to mark it down, which can be regarded as allowing him to reveal a unique skill that he can't usually say to people.

Waiting for Boss Lei to take the Great Sage's Relic Voice to inlay gems on the spot, Shu Hui picked up the Nine Heavens Ring Pendant, adjusted the intensity of the dark shelter to the lowest, and then probed into the Dragon Pond and Fengnuma through the two narrow sound holes on the bottom plate of the guqin, respectively, to determine their current shape and size.

On the drawings drawn by Boss Lei's dazzling skills, the two grooves are neither the usual circles nor rectangles, but through his years of experience, the various scales can produce the softest sound after being conducted and resonated in the wood. On the whole, the dragon pond is an arc-waist trapezoid, and the phoenix is approximately elliptical.

The graphics input system was used to raise the level of control to the highest intensity, but the size of the blade-narrow dark shelter "brushed brush" through the narrow sound hole in the groove belly. In just a moment, Shu Hui asked Ao Guang to pick up the Jiuxiao Huanpei and shake off the sawdust in the belly of the trough.

The heirloom Zhenqin has lived up to its name since then!

Looking back, Boss Lei was still concentrating on sorting out the tools for work, and there were a lot of various tape measures, calipers, ink fountains, lacquer pens, and charcoal, and he hadn't started to inlay them at all.

Shu Hui thought about it, and set the gem on the piano wood like this, although she didn't know the specific method of Boss Lei, she always felt a little unreliable......

"Master Lei, how are you going to inlay these precious jades?" Shu Hui asked uneasily.

Boss Lei didn't raise his head, his hands were busy, and he replied quickly in his mouth: "First dig a groove in the piano wood emblem, and then glue the treasure jade with lacquer glue." When you turn around, the young master can also find someone to make some gold and silver buttons to clip on the top to prevent Baoyu from slipping. ”

The plan is pretty good. Shu Hui calculated, even if it was more than a thousand years later, it would be the same approach. However, this is too slow, and after the experience of expanding the belly just now, Shu Hui has other ideas.

"Forget it, don't inlay it, when I go back to find someone to make the buckle, it will look more harmonious."

Hearing this, Master Lei put down the work in his hand with some regret and reluctance, thinking that from now on there would be one less topic that could be blown for a lifetime.

"Where's the nearest goldsmith's shop?" It was not early, Shu Hui looked at his watch, half past five.

Shu Hui didn't need to ask Boss Lei about this question at all, it was just an agreement. After waiting for Boss Lei to answer, Shu Hui took out two taels of silver from Ao Guang and threw it to Boss Lei, and instructed by the way: "It's hard money to trouble the two masters to run for nothing." When the master calligrapher arrived, he asked him to go to the goldsmith's shop to find me, but the master carver didn't need it. ”

After thinking about it, it was troublesome to run back and forth, and said, "Also, prepare me a small bottle of white lacquer and a brush." The lacquer from the same shop may make the two instruments look more harmonious. ”

……

Before getting into the carriage, Shu Hui took out the piano again according to the upgrade plan of the Great Sage's Relic Sound marked by Boss Lei before leaving. The shape of the groove of the two pianos ended up being slightly different, and it was indeed taught according to their aptitude.

Hongyu and Ao Guang basically didn't take the initiative to speak, and Shu Hui got used to it over time. After looking at the two pianos repeatedly, when the carriage stopped at the door of a golden building, he found that the guys in the building were preparing to sweep and close.

"Sure enough, it's a big deal, and it's not diligent at all when it closes so early." Shu Hui glanced at the store, didn't get out of the car, and asked Hongyu to take out a small ingot of gold.

Hongyu untied his purse and opened it for Shu Hui to see: "Young master, the slave maid brought these with her when she went out, is it enough?" "There are about two taels of gold and four or five taels of silver.

Shu Hui touched her chin, this is definitely not enough. Although it is old and valuable, the gold density is high, and there is not much in two taels. So he took out another mutton fat jade that was the same as before, and handed it to Ao Guang:

"Ao Guang, go to the gold shop shopkeeper and exchange this white jade for red gold, which can probably be exchanged for five taels." Then he took about two taels of silver from the purse of the red fish: "Then let them melt the gold and silver into a furnace, and I will use it later." ”

The density of silver is almost half that of gold, and five taels of gold are not much larger than two taels of silver in terms of volume. Ao Guang took the order and left, but Shu Hui compared the two pianos.

With all the details of the two instruments in mind, the carving process is simulated in the interactive vision of the system.

The system has a certain degree of automatic programming ability, and most people can rely on their own brains to complete the abstraction and computing system can easily do it, especially after this unblocking, Shu Hui feels that it has become very imaginative.

For example, now, what appears in Shu Hui's vision is the mesh model of the two pianos, in addition to some virtual tools. In the end, the system has not gone too far, and Shu Hui's various patterns and patterns conceived by relying on imagination can also be directly presented on the body of the piano, without letting him draw on a virtual computer screen.

Shu Hui felt that this system must be dissatisfied with him in some way and deliberately made things difficult for him. But he refused to say what it was, and Shu Hui couldn't ask directly.

First of all, there are thirteen emblems on each of the two qins, which are the overtones of the guqin, representing the thirteen laws, of which twelve are the twelve laws in the Book of Rites, which also correspond to December. Because of the existence of leap months, the ancients, who liked to combine various laws, set the qin emblem as the number of thirteen, which is said to be done by the Fuxi clan.

Shu Hui dug the emblem groove on the simulated piano body of the interactive vision, and let the more reliable system manipulate the darkness to shelter the piano wood, and dug out a row of round holes that are wide at the bottom and narrow at the top according to Shu Hui's actions on the virtual piano body. The human brain is not stable enough, and the dark shelter manipulated by the mind is far less precise than it is used by the system.

Using the dark shelter to cover the rest of the body, Shu Hui took out the white paint given by Boss Lei and smeared the newly excavated emblem groove. The wood is completely isolated from the inlay, which can effectively prevent moisture and moth.

The air conditioner is controlled to adjust the humidity and temperature to accelerate the condensation of the white paint, and on the other hand, the pattern is designed at the beginning and end of the two pianos. Shu Hui still has a bit of artistic energy, but everything is very easy if you just rely on imagination without hands.

Finally, the tails of the two pianos are decorated with geometric patterns, inlaid with a topaz ring and a jasper mirror. They are all carved by the protection of darkness, and the work is exquisite and delicate, which is simply not like a human object.

The head of the piano is decorated with a unicorn pattern, and each scale is inlaid with chrysoberyls; The Great Sage's relics are decorated with peacock patterns, and each eye spot is decorated with emeralds.

In Shu Hui's vision, this moment is the final rendering of the two pianos. The yellow and white gold and silver alloy pattern pinched the glittering gemstones, which are simply bejeweled, gorgeous and dignified.

Later, Shu Hui designed the pouring route of liquid gold and the setting sequence of gemstones, which is similar to Shu Hui's later CNC equipment to convert the engraving model into a toolpath diagram, and Shu Hui is familiar with the road.

When everything was ready, the grooves that were wide at the bottom and narrow at the top were dug again, but they were ready to pour the alloy. Also painted with white paint, while bringing the new path into the scope of accelerated condensation, Shu Hui and Hongyu got out of the car and walked into the Golden Building.

Ao Guang had already prepared everything, and the gold and silver had already begun to melt at this time. But before that, Shu Hui first met the calligraphy master he asked Boss Lei to help find.

If you just write well, but you don't make a name for yourself, you can only be called a "craftsman".

This is the case with this Master Cao in front of him. Shu Hui has never heard his name in later generations, but he can't appreciate the words written by the great calligraphers whose names Shu Hui has heard in later generations. On the contrary, he felt that the handwriting of this Master Cao was very condensed with a charm that he couldn't tell, and it was a kind of calligraphy that he personally thought was very beautiful.

Moreover, although Master Cao has no name in history and no masterpieces, he is also well-known in the surrounding states and counties of Linqiong. This is not Shu Hui's strange taste, but probably because he really can't appreciate a higher level of calligraphy.

spent a pencil fee of one or two pieces of gold, and Shu Hui got two piano names with a total of eight big characters, almost one tael of silver. However, gold and silver are hard currency, and Shu Hui can only use gold and silver to copy gold and silver. Speeding them up for circulation is a good thing, not a mallet act.

Because they are written on paper with ink, rather than directly on the bottom of the piano with white lacquer, the names of the two pianos are written with a particularly graceful charm, which is far from being comparable to other pianos. Shu Hui painted the scoop according to the gourd, and still used the dark shelter to engrave the words to the bottom of the piano, and even the flying white ink everywhere was vivid.

On the white lacquer point, the two pianos officially have names. Although gold and silver had already begun to melt, it was that the molten silver formed a local alloy with solid gold, reducing the melting point. The melting point of gold is more than 1,000 degrees. Therefore, Shu Hui was ready for everything, and waited for a while, and it took more than six o'clock to get the completely melted alloy liquid.

waved his hand to retreat the master and apprentice of the Golden Building, and asked Ao Guang to guard the door, Shu Hui took out the gems and jade to be used, and then everything was completely completed by the system according to the steps of the successful simulation in the carriage just now.

The dark shelter can be extended to a maximum of twenty-five square meters of surface, and each square meter can generate a force of 100,000 tons, manipulating the smelting of gold and silver, and a crucible of less than twenty catties is a piece of cake.

I saw that Shu Hui suddenly grew a lot of black arms and silk cloth, the arms were holding the crucible, the guqin and the gems and jade used to inlay them, and the silk cloth with almost no thickness was all over the surface of the piano body to completely seal the whole qin, and there were other silk cloths covering it so that the middle was formed a cavity according to the pattern designed by Shu Hui to facilitate the flow of gold liquid, and the gems and jade were also sandwiched into the layers of silk cloth.

These arms were imagined step by step according to his habits when Shu Hui simulated them before, and it was a bit crazy to be used by the system at the same time. Fortunately, the Tang people did not know about demons such as hundred-armed giants, but they had seen certain gods with many arms from Buddhist picture books.

Because the back of the instrument is curved and not horizontal, it is necessary to form a semi-closed pipe with a dark shelter of almost no thickness, otherwise the gold liquid will definitely drip down the surface during the pouring process. The Dark Shelter does not transfer heat, and there is no need to worry about melting gold and scorching the piano wood.

Everything was done in a systematic way, and Shu Hui only watched with Hongyu Ao Guang on the side. At this time, he felt that this system was so capable and had some personality, should it be named?

Without allowing him to think too much, the two pianos turned over at the same time, and the engraving on the bottom of the piano was filled with alloy. At the same time, the air conditioner quickly and evenly extracts the heat from the molten gold, making them solidify and stabilize. When it was completely consistent with the temperature of the piano wood, it happened to be controlled by the system and fell into the hands of Ao Guang and Hongyu.

Shu Hui watched this scene speechlessly, only thinking that when did this system become so self-assertive? In fact, this is a bit of a preconception on his part, thinking that the system has become very thoughtful. In fact, the system is just because the piano was taken from the hands of the two of them, and it was returned after the task was completed.

He doesn't say, how does the system know where he wants to put the piano?

Leave the remaining one or two gold and silver alloys to the Golden Building as a reward, and the three of them got into the carriage and went directly back to the Shifang Building. Because a lot of officials from various counties in Qiongzhou have come recently, if you slow down, the city gate may be closed.

They didn't notice that on the second floor of Buzhuang opposite the Golden Building, there were two thin men with suspicious appearances staring at them intently, to be precise, they wanted to stare through the carriage at the two priceless yaoqins that Ao Guang and Hongyu were holding.

Well, because of the jade decoration, the two ordinary paulownia wooden qins were upgraded to yaoqin.

"What do you want to buy for the two guests, let's pick it quickly, you've been here for a long time, and the store is about to close."

When the two of them saw a half-sized boy running and jumping to follow the carriage from a pastry shop not far away, they reluctantly withdrew their gaze.

"What are you urging, how can we see clearly when it's so dark? Hurry up and give me a candle to come out. One of the men with double eyelids arrogantly asked, what a precious light source is the candle, and the shopkeeper of this cloth village is willing to do it?

Sure enough, the shopkeeper no longer took over, probably knowing that these two people didn't even want face, and they couldn't do this business today. So he urged the two to leave quickly, and he was about to close.

When the two of them walked out of the store with a scolding scolding, the shopkeeper of Buzhuang took a breath of lightness, looked at the golden building opposite, and finally shook his head: "More things are better than less things, I have met a few people like this before, and they don't dare to mess around when they see no chance." ”

Pan's Golden House is not easy to mess with.

But what the shopkeeper didn't know was that this gang of thieves had been stepping on several nearby shops for several days. They didn't dare to fight the idea of the Golden Building, but they set their eyes on the guests of the Golden Building. Especially in recent days, it is said that many county officials and students will come, and their families are very rich, and outsiders are also easy to start.

At this time, the sky was dark, and Shu Hui's scarlet robe was only a glimpse, and they couldn't tell whether it was black or not. And he's just a child, and in the eyes of these ignorant thieves, he is the object of direct neglect. What's more, the two pianos were so dazzling that they didn't even notice the big beauty of Red Fish.

Although the red fish has a slightly slender physique, it is of course a rare beauty in the eyes of these reckless people, and there is no reason to ignore it on weekdays.

The two walked out of Buzhuang, and soon turned into an alley, and disappeared into the "oil flower shop" with casinos and hooks in the ancient city. An evening breeze blew, and their muffled voices remained in the air.

"Dog consumption, do you think Xiao San'er will lose the fat sheep? I've never seen anything so valuable when I'm so old, I'm afraid it's worth more than 10,000 dollars, right? The short, single-eyelid man asked a question about the turtle.

The dog, whose eyelids were a little high, was a little short of breath at this time, and he despised his companion for a while, and replied, "Look at your little breath, although I can't see it too clearly, but I estimate that at least this number ......" and stretched out a palm as he spoke.

"Four, forty thousand dollars?" The single-eyelid man asked in surprise, but then he was slapped on the head by the dog.

"It's 500,000 yuan, a full 500,000 taels of silver!" Gou Qian waved his right hand, which had an index finger cut off because of the casino's thousands, and preached in a tone of hatred: "You didn't see the treasure jade on it, my eyes were about to be blinded." Each one is worth at least a few thousand dollars, and there are probably hundreds of them on two pianos! ”

"Hey, it's so valuable, if Xiao San'er loses it this time, I'm afraid he will be skinned by the hall master...... I'm in a bit of a hurry, you go first......"

"Something that doesn't make a living......"

The sound slowly drifted in the middle of the ring, and the single-eyelid man looked left and right weakly after seeing the dog gone, and then turned back and turned into another alley.

……

Shu Hui and the three of them returned to Shifang Building, instructed the guy who led the way to serve them some dinner, and brought it directly into Shu Hui's Tianzi No. 3 room. While waiting, Shu Hui asked the two of them to lay out the piano, and then admired the red fish's piano skills.

"Young master, Fuqin still has to burn incense and bathe, wait for the slave maid to prepare first." Redfish said with some embarrassment, but her steps didn't mean to move at all.

Shu Hui has long known the habit she has developed with herself: "You have to get it, don't engage in those false things, I'll let you stroke the piano and you can stroke it directly." When you go out, how can you take a bath at home. ”

But it was Hongyu who followed him for three years, and he had already learned Shu Hui's informality. But having said that, the basic rule is that the red fish will still be disposed of cheaply after getting Shu Hui's approval every time.

"Why are you still stunned, hurry up and play a song for Uncle Ben!"

"Yes, young master, the slave obeys."

After the red fish sat down after the Great Sage's Testament, he clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and meditated for a while, and his posture was already calm and harmonious.

Hang your hands on both ends of the strings, and gently clasp your fingers, rubbing and hooking on the surface of the piano to create all kinds of crisp sounds. Plain hands are sometimes like pink butterflies floating flowers, sometimes like cranes in the shade, sometimes like spring herons out of the valley, sometimes like flying dragons climbing clouds......

After the song "Qing Tune" was played, I don't know when the red fish pink cheeks had returned to their usual look [nǎn], but they asked with some expectation: "How is it, young master, is the slave playing okay?" ”

Shu Hui felt that it was okay, although he had paid more attention to his hands just now. At this moment, he said honestly: "It's not bad, it's much better than I expected." It is estimated that it can be half of Zhuo Mengling's level. ”

The red fish's mouth curled up at once, and she quickly retracted it until she noticed that it was a little painful, and her eyes were full of grievances.

Half level, looks like a lot. However, the technique is like most skills, first easy and then difficult. If Hongyu's performance level can be half that of Zhuo Mengling, then her piano skills may not even be one-tenth of Zhuo Mengling.

Ao Guang yawned, for the safety of the young master's travel last night, he contacted the surrounding secret agents until very late.
