Liu Jing said: "I can't play a complete piece yet, so the master compares me with Zhou Lewang, is it too far-sighted? ”

Fang Yu was dumbfounded. The ten-year-old boy in front of him couldn't see if he could control the huge territory of the Song Kingdom, so why should he guide him to become King Zhou Le? Dongfang Yu, Dongfang Yu, you are indeed too worried. Fang Yu immediately smiled and said: "The contemptible person just thinks that His Royal Highness is extremely talented, not only has a good memory and high understanding, but also works hard and seriously, and works hard, although he can't play a complete tune yet, no matter what he studies in the future, it will be extraordinary." ”

Liu Jing was unimpressed by the compliments he was accustomed to hearing, and he continued to ask: "I don't know what the master said, what is the realm of 'looking at the end of the world' that King Zhou Le has reached?" ”

Fang Yu said: "The realm of looking at the end of the world is also divided into two layers. To reach this realm, you must first play all the masterpieces of the past and present, and then you must give birth to your own opinions on the art of the qin. When you become a family of your own, you can also create new scores on your own, which is the so-called 'looking to the end of the world'. If all the existing scores are a territory, then adding new scores is pulling the ends of the earth a little further. ”

Liu Jing listened carefully and felt that it was very peculiar for the master to use the territory as a metaphor for the music library.

Fang Yu said: "As for the two layers in this highest realm, one is a household name, and the other is enduring. If you can write a well-known song and spread it all over the five countries of Kyushu, you will be the 'King of Zhou Music in the world'. But if the music you compose can be passed down for a hundred years and endure, then you can jump out of the title of 'King Zhou Le' and be named a title exclusive to yourself by future generations. ”

Liu Jing felt that the title that belonged to him would probably only be a nickname like his father's "King Song Huai" and his grandfather's "King Song Wu". At the age of ten, he naturally would not have foreseen that future generations would eventually give him the title of "Lyre Saint".

From spring to autumn, under the tutelage of Fang Yu, Liu Jing not only learned how to understand the scores written by the folk musicians of the Zhou Dynasty, but also made great progress in the technique of the lyre and his understanding of the music. When Fang Yu left the jade capital, Liu Jing would already stumble to play the well-known "Ballad of the Bright Moon" in Chen Guo.

Thirteen years have passed, no matter how busy the case and government affairs are, Liu Jing has always insisted on following Fang Yu's words and playing the piano for at least one hour every day.

Although he never heard from Fang Yu again, although he was never sure if there were gods in the sky who could hear the sound of his piano, although Shu'er still did not return to his side, it had become his habit to stroke the qin every night.

Ling Fei often joked to him a few years ago: "Other people play the qin is vassal, elegant, entertaining themselves, and dispensable, but His Royal Highness regards the fuqin as eating and drinking, and it must be practiced every day, which is indispensable." ”

Liu Jing was cold and silent about Ling Fei's banter. For him, Fuqin is not about eating and drinking, but about chanting to the gods, and it is a childish to sincere, sincere to stubborn sustenance that he does not want to mention to anyone.

The peachwood lyre at the end of the wall accompanies him every night to spend an hour of his own in the Yongtai Palace. He likes to play quiet and peaceful tunes, with a slight sadness, to accompany the prosperity of the floating world. He didn't play those tunes to anyone, but just let thousands of melodies pass from his heart's fingertips, slowly winding around the beams and crossing the sky.

Ling Fei witnessed Liu Jing's thirteen years of dedication to Fuqin. He went from incomprehension at first, to slow habituation, and then to respect now. He no longer teased Liu Jing, but silently hoped that His Royal Highness could soothe the depression in his heart by stroking the qin. But tonight, standing in the middle of the traffic at Dongxing Gate, Ling Fei suddenly thought that maybe Fuqin could only soothe His Highness's heart knot, and the person who could really open His Highness's heart knot should be Qiao Cheng or Ling Zi. Tonight, His Royal Highness is newly married, whose palace will he go to?

Liu Jing put down the jade box full of music pearls, picked up the lyre beside him, and strode towards the outside of the Yongtai Palace.

Passing by the colorful palaces and passing through several uninhabited palace alleys, Liu Jing came to a seemingly endless lotus pond, and a small boat was parked by the pool. He stepped onto the boat, put the piano firmly on the boat, and rowed to the star-picking platform at the end of the lotus pond with his oars.

The star picking platform is independent, the jade body is white, and the jade catkins on each jade step are like a different crystal illusion. Liu Jing stepped on the moonlight to the top of the stage, sat on the ground, put the piano on his lap, and his fingers fell on the strings, but he was not in a hurry to play. Instead, he looked up at a few black clouds illuminated by the moonlight, and his thoughts wandered.

Shu'er, tonight is my wedding night, if you are still somewhere in this world, can you bless me from afar? Just like all these years, I have played the harp every day, hoping that the gods in heaven will hear my pleas and let them protect you, will you often think of your useless brother, and have you once or twice prayed for peace and joy for me in front of the moon and the stars?

Shu'er, I told you personally, whether you are my sister or not, I will love you and spoil you for the rest of my life. At that time, I jokingly said, if you are blasted out of the White Jade Palace, it will be a big deal, I will marry you.

However, you left the White Jade Palace, and I, before I found you, married another woman, and married two at once.

Liu Jing plucked a string and put his hand on the seven strings, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

Shu'er, your brother is really useless. I lost you back then, and today, I hurt two other women. When I was far away in Zhao Kingdom, I had no way to reverse the marriage that my grandmother and mother had arranged without authorization. Besides, my grandmother's health is getting worse day by day, and I should fulfill her wish. But today, walking on the scarlet carpet belonging to those two women, I am tempted by ......

Shu'er, she is a Chen girl who has visited the five countries of Kyushu, and we met Zhao Guopingliang......

Shu'er, I knew that I couldn't give her a free ride, so I gave her three routes to escape from the White Jade Palace. Which one will she choose, you say? Probably not the farthest here. Dongxingmen, fish and dragons are mixed, I have sent Ling Fei to help her. At the end of the alley, the guards were loose, and she didn't need help. And the ruins under the star-picking platform, she probably won't come here from near and far. I don't think she's coming, but I hope she'll leave here. After all, here, I'm guarding it tonight.

In the silence of the night, Liu Jing closed his eyes and played, a hand-warming song "The Ballad of the Bright Moon", playing time like flowing water, and the moonlight had no waves.

Shu'er, when you and I were children, we often talked about everything on this white jade platform far away from the palace. Now I have a heart, but who can I talk to?

Shu'er, I don't want to go to the palace of those two strange women tonight. The White Jade Palace is very large, and I really can't remember where their palaces are. I just want to play the piano for you and pray for you on this high platform that belongs to you and me.

Forgiveness, please forgive me for being so easily tempted by a woman before I found you. Please forgive me for my greed and understand my helplessness. Tonight, I sit here alone, but I am no longer alone. Should I still look for you? Even if you come back, I'm already a crippled person with a place to belong and a heart to send to.

Shu'er, maybe I should finally let go of the knot and let go of you. May you be happy and carefree for the rest of your life.

His thoughts were long, and he played the same tune over and over again without realizing it.

Suddenly, he heard a lingering singing voice in the evening breeze accompanied by the sound of his piano:

The moon rises brightly

The way back is long

There is a beautiful woman in the heart

It's hard to toss and turn

Bright eyes

Smile brightly

The shadow of the moon is faint

Thoughts murmuring

Thousands of miles away

Looking at the clouds

My heart is looking forward to it

It's hard to sleep

Yesterday

It's like a dream

Yesterday
