Chapter 8: Farewell My Concubine
"The tiger father has no dog, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me! Li Shangshu has a successor, which is gratifying. An old man in a purple robe and a jade belt around his waist stood in front of the window and said to Li Rong.
"Pei Xiang has won the award!" Li Rong recognized the other party, stayed in Xijing, Pei Judao in the internal history, and was one of the prime ministers of the dynasty, and won the trust of the Empress Dowager Zetian.
Li Rong bowed deeply to Pei Judao, and Shi Ran walked back to the Bishan Hall.
"Congratulations to Brother Li on his victorious return!" Bai Yiyun actually came to the hall and waited for Li Rong.
"I'll be happier if you give me half of the money you win. After all, I'm the one who lives and dies down there," Li Rong replied.
The two have been friends for a long time, and Li Rong knows Bai Yiyun's personality well. He's sure to take the chance to make a fortune.
"It's a pity you didn't bet." Bai Yiyun said with a smile, "The boy of the martial family is not as famous as the son of the Sword Marquis, so he doesn't earn much. ”
"Fushun, have you made any bets?" Li Rong turned his head to Ge Fu and said in passing.
"Thanks to the blessing of Bai Gongzi, I made a little money after a hundred times." Ge Fushun said with a smile. He knew that his young master and Bai Yiyun were good friends, so he naturally had to make a heavy bet.
"There are many talents in the martial arts, and Wu Meiniang can firmly grasp the power, which is not because of the support of the martial arts behind her." Wei Mingcheng said.
"The phoenix dances for nine days, the sun and the moon, and the strength of the phoenix dance does not need to be talked about." Wei Hongji said, "It is necessary to seize the world by force, and it is not necessary to fight for the court, Mingcheng must keep this in mind, let us appreciate this overlord Farewell Concubine with peace of mind." Speaking of Pengxian Pavilion's play, it is unique and breathtaking. ”
"The eldest brother can always be as calm as a god, and he can't compare to the younger brother." Wei Mingcheng said.
"Just open some if you want to, eight-rank grandmasters are rare. If my Wei family relied on force alone, how could it have been passed down for thousands of years? Wei Hongji said, "Think about the truth." ”
"Easier said than done!" Wei Mingcheng replied.
Wei Jie knew that his father was also here, so he told Li Kaigu and others to come to see his father.
In the hall, Wei Jie, Wei Xuan, and Wei Yuanqi were silent, quietly listening to the conversation of their father and uncle.
While everyone was talking, suddenly a piano sounded leisurely.
With a hint of sadness in the sound of the piano, it floated over the attic, and flowed quietly like a secluded spring stream, pulling people's minds back into a silence and into unprecedented stability and peace.
"What kind of musical instrument is this, the old man has never heard of it?" Pei Judao, who was standing in front of the window, said in surprise, "The sound of the piano is wonderful." ”
"Pei Xiang, the sound of the piano sounds like the Xiqin, a unique musical instrument of the Xi tribe outside the Saiwai, no one in Middle-earth should be able to play it, let alone hear of this song!" Another middle-aged official in the hall replied.
Wei Mingcheng's eyes were slightly closed, listening to the sound of the piano in his ears, the scenes of his childhood appeared in his mind, many hidden fragments of memory flashed in his mind, and his breath changed subtly.
"Huh", Wei Hongji was amazed by the wonderful music on the one hand, and noticed the subtle changes that had occurred in Wei Mingcheng's body.
"As I look at myself, I see it clearly, and the eldest brother actually took this opportunity to break through the eight grades!" Wei Hongji sighed.
"It's just a coincidence!" After a long time, Wei Mingcheng opened his eyes, and his expression revealed a hint of joy.
He came to Pengxian Pavilion to see what the son of his old opponent Li Hui looked like, but he got the opportunity to break through the eight grades, the world is unpredictable, and he didn't get Li Hui's Xuanyin Divine Technique, but he bumped into the opportunity to break through from his son, and he finally got what he wanted.
"Congratulations, my father, I have advanced to the eighth rank of Grandmaster." Wei Jie, Wei Xuan said with a smile.
The eight-rank grandmaster is a big hurdle on the way to martial arts, and most of the seven-rank innate grandmasters are in front, either the exercises are not good, or the cultivation is not enough, or the opportunity is not enough, in short, it is difficult to ascend to the sky.
Only those who are promoted to the eighth grade are eligible to be shortlisted in the ranks of the heavenly list, and the "Heavenly Phoenix" Wu Youxu, who is currently replacing the "Law Sage" Yin Wencao Xiong, is the realm of the eighth grade.
Wei Yuanqi's excited expression flashed in his eyes, and he congratulated his uncle with an unchanged expression.
"Yuan Jue's peace of mind is not lacking in enterprising, and Jie'er and Xuan'er are not as good as him." Wei Mingcheng said in his heart, although he had just broken through to the subtleties, his perception had improved a lot, and he had undergone great changes from feeling the breath before to perceiving emotions.
"Calm down and enjoy the fun!" Wei Mingcheng said with a smile, waving his hand to signal a few people to sit down and listen to the music.
"Xi Qin, she is playing Xi Qin, why have I never heard such a moving sound of Xi Qin?" Li Kaigu immediately recognized the sound of the piano, it was actually the widely circulated Xi Qin in his hometown, but he had never heard the song.
This qin song was handed over by Li Rong to Yun Siyu, copying Li Rong's favorite erhu song "Water Lily" in his previous life, in addition to liking traditional martial arts, he loves music very much, and erhu is his favorite. After arriving in the Tang Dynasty, Li Rong made a handful for himself to enjoy in his spare time. Having said that, the erhu originated from the "Xi Qin" in the Tang Dynasty.
"I'm done in prison, and I want to go home and visit my parents." Luo Zhenghai next to him was also moved by the sound of the piano.
"Listen well," Li Rong said. Every time he listens to this song, he can't help but evoke memories of his past life, a kind father, a departed lover, and a hometown separated by time and space.
The song "Water Lilies" made everyone fascinated.
Suddenly, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, but everyone felt that the parting emotion still seemed to echo under the corridor between the beams.
At this time, Lin Bihan raised the Tao Xun in his hand and played gently.
"Woo", a deep and slightly whimpering music sounded, expressing the deep longing so desolately.
The sound of the xiqin also sounded at the right time, the sounds were intertwined, tactfully whirling, and the song revealed the fatigue of the soldiers after the battlefield, and the longing for their relatives in their hometown after the war, which made people cry.
Yun Siyu pulled the strings, and her affection seeped into the song, there had never been such a song that made her emotional, and tears fell gently on the piano along her eyelashes.
Lin Bihan blew Tao Xun, moved by the music, and sighed at Li Rong's talent in music.
Tao Xun is a widely spread musical instrument in the south, ancient Chu, with such a moving and changeable melody, no one would have thought that Tao Xun would play such a beautiful music.
"Embattled, sad in the ears, the Han has been decided, I will do a big thing!" Youling, who was pretending to be the overlord Xiang Yu, stepped onto the stage and sighed to the sky.
"The king, the heroes rise together, compete in the Central Plains, and it is common for them to suffer occasional defeats," Yu Ji wore a moon-white palace dress on the outside and a pink gauze on the inside, and said to Xiang Yu forward.
"Since I want to send out the army alone, there are more than 70 battles of all sizes, every battle must be won, every attack must be overcome, now it is surrounded, the soldiers are trapped and the horses are lacking, even if I can break out of the encirclement, how many people will be left in my Jiangdong children, what is the face of Jiangdong fathers?" Xiang Yu said.
"Pull out the mountains and cover the world, and the times are not good. If you don't die, you can't help it, and you can't help it", Xiang Yu sang.
After listening, Yu Ji looked sad, suddenly drew her sword and danced, her posture was light, her expression was poignant, she waved her sword and danced vigorously, and sang: "The enemy soldiers have skimmed, and the Quartet Chu is singing; The king is exhausted, and the concubine is not alive. "Sing and swing your sword to kill yourself.
"The overlord is the male ear of the horseman, and he is defeated without knowing his defeat," Wei Hongji said.
Wei Mingcheng smiled without saying a word.
At the end of the song, everyone was overwhelmed by the wonderful dance drama and beautiful music of Pengxian Pavilion, and the reputation of Penglai Three Immortals spread all over Chang'an overnight.
"The eldest brother has a lot of plans, he originally didn't have the strength to go home, and deliberately suppressed his ambitions, but now that he has consciously broken through, will he still restrain himself?" Wei Hongji sighed.
He and his son Wei Yuanqi rode back home on horseback, and Wei Hongji sighed on the way.
"What is Uncle Ming Cheng planning?" Wei Yuanqi asked.
Even if the power of the Wei family is suppressed by the Empress Dowager Zetian, it is still in full swing, and there are Wei Fangqing, Wei Chengqing, Wei Zhiyuan, Wei Juyuan, and several other officials below the prime minister's level.
"Forget it, everything is unknown, who can predict what will happen in the future, I hope that the thousand-year-old foundation of my Wei family will not be destroyed in his hands." Wei Hongji said.
"Uncle seems to mean something else, and he is not particularly pleased with his father's breakthrough." Wei Jie said.
Wei Mingcheng and the three returned home and entered the study.
"Guanzhong Wei Du, go to Tianqi Five" Wei Mingcheng said, "It's so powerful, but it's a pity that no matter how big it is, it's not as big as the sky." ”
"Father?" Wei Jie seemed to feel something.
"Those old guys treat me as a knife, but I want to be the one who holds the knife," Wei Mingcheng said instead, "You guys go back, I want to retreat and comprehend the subtleties and achieve a new breakthrough in the martial arts." ”
Wei Jie and Wei Xuan bowed and bowed before turning to leave.
"Yuan Ming, this song is really a heavenly immortal song, and it can be heard in the world," Bai Yiyun was immersed in the song, looking at Li Rongdao who was about to leave.
"Go back and have a good taste with Ling's wife!" Li Rong said with a smile.
"When did Yuan Ming learn to flamboyate?" Lin Bihan smiled, "Siyu has admired you for a long time, why don't you stay with her and comfort her fragile heart?" ”
This time, it was Li Rong's turn to blush, and said goodbye to Bai Yiyun and the two with a smile.
"Zhenghai is right, I also want to go back to my hometown, it's rare to see each other again." Li Kaigu said with emotion.
He has studied in Guozijian for four years, and he has done his best, and with the urging of his father a while ago, he is indeed ready to go home.
"In two days, I'm going to Luoyang, how about my peers?" Li Rong said.
The two nodded in agreement. After the three of them made an appointment, they left separately.
