150 Clues in the painting
At that virtual recital, the host also told the story of the birth of this piece in order to express the elegance of this mountain and flowing water. And Shang Lu's deepest impression was the sentence "Mountains and rivers looking for bosom friends", at that time, Nanxing watched the concert with great interest, and did not notice that Shang Lu secretly glanced at her for a while after hearing this sentence. It wasn't until the natural and meaningful tune of "Mountains and Flowing Water" came out that he drew his attention back to the virtual recital.
That virtual concert set off a huge wave in the entire Blue Star Alliance, so much so that after that, anyone with a little status must prepare a piano, and if they can play a few more sections of this "mountain and flowing water", even if the performance is unsatisfactory, everyone will praise it in due course: What an elegant person.
Nanxing didn't think about getting a cheaper piano to play, but the pianos she could look at were very expensive, and the slightly cheaper ones she felt that the sound was not good enough. As a result, in the end, Nanxing's relatives still didn't buy it, but she kept emphasizing to Shang Lu: This is all a conspiracy carried out by the piano selling company, and she will not fall into this consumerist trap.
However, several times after that, Shang Lu found that Nanxing was quietly browsing some second-hand websites, and most of the pages were musical instruments such as pianos, but Nanxing closed the page every time he just looked at it.
So Shang Lu chose this song this time, not only to pass the level of this exquisite tower, but also to please Nanxing, he knew that what Nanxing's hip-hopping personality was hidden under was a particularly heavy, depressed soul that would wander out of the world from time to time. Shang Lu was very afraid that Nanxing would leave one day, not in the physical sense, but on the spiritual level.
Shang Lu was afraid of this, and the loneliness and helplessness he experienced before the age of ten were deeply engraved in the depths of his soul. He relied on the shining "star" of the South Star to dispel those nightmarish pasts. Shang Lu didn't even dare to think about what would happen to him if he didn't have Nanxing.
Unconsciously, Shang Lu integrated these feelings of his own into the song, a song "Mountains and Flowing Water" played down, there was no sense of high and low music, but everywhere the joy of finding a soulmate, and the fear of losing a soulmate. Even if Shang Lu's syllables and beats in many places were a little wrong and missing, it still made Qing Ling Yuanjun's remnant soul fascinated, and Nanxing also felt something, only the rabbit was bored.
The end of the song.
"Okay." Qingling Yuanjun's remnant soul shouted, "Acquaintances are all over the world, and there are a few people who know each other." Good song, good song......"
Nanxing first quietly gave Shang Lu a thumbs up, and then turned his head to look at Qing Ling Yuanjun's remnant soul, "Have we passed the test?" ”
Qing Ling Yuanjun's remnant soul nodded, and with a wave of his big sleeves, he saw that the table where the plum bottle was placed was gone, and an upward passage appeared, "Please go to the second floor." ”
The arrangement of the second floor of the Linglong Pagoda is not much different from the first floor, except that the piano on the table has been transformed into a chessboard full of black and white balls.
"Look, you two, this is an endgame, if you can solve it, you can pass it."
Nanxing will already want to roll his eyes, how to test all these things that they are not familiar with, why not test the things they are good at, such as: quickly distinguish high-quality items in a pile of rags, wandering skills in fighting with two meters and two big men, thirty-six kinds of bargaining skills, etc., it is really not possible to test the things that Shang Lu is familiar with, such as the layout method of quantum transmission, the thousand ways to crack the decompilation program, and the handmade encyclopedia of waste utilization.
The rabbit looked at it from the side, "This is the chess game." ”
"How do you rabbit?"
"Did you go, Master Rabbit, what won't I? Look at mine. After the rabbit finished speaking, he went up and cleared the chessboard, no, not the open, but quickly took many chess pieces, and vacated a large area of the chessboard, "All right." ”
Nanxing didn't understand what the rabbit was doing at all, but she still subconsciously asked, "Yuanjun, is this considered a pass?" ”
"I didn't expect Xiaoyou's spirit beast to have such intelligence, so please follow me to the third layer."
……
The third floor of the Linglong Pagoda is very different from the first two floors, and it has become the appearance of a study. In addition to the normal desk on the left-hand side, there are about a dozen bookshelves, neatly arranged in front of the desk. There are a lot of books on the shelves, as well as some wire-bound books.
Qing Ling Yuanjun's remnant soul walked to the desk and sat down, raised his hand and pointed to the painting hanging in the middle hall behind the desk and said: "The couplet here is missing the lower half, you can look through the bookshelf at will, as long as you can match it, it will be regarded as passing." ”
At this time, Nanxing and Shang Lu's eyes fell on the two sides of the central hall painting, with the upper couplet hanging on the left and the vacant one on the right.
"The light that never sleeps is the exquisite world." Nanxing muttered softly about the couplet, but instead of immediately turning around and rummaging through the bookshelves, she focused on the painting in the central hall.
The painting in the central hall is usually hung on the wall in the middle of the hall, and the study can also be arranged in this way. However, most of the contents of the paintings in the middle hall are written on a four-foot piece of paper with auspicious meanings, such as blessing, longevity, health, Tai, etc., and there are also hanging contents for ancestral portraits, landscapes, or birds and beasts.
This central hall painting is completely different, it is a genre painting that uses the light silk technique to depict it. The painting depicts the streets of a certain city at night.
The moon hangs high in the sky, reflecting the joyful and illuminated atmosphere of the castle. There were many people in the streets, men, women, old and young, and around them countless lanterns of different shapes hung high on both sides of the street. There seems to be a small note hanging under the lantern, and a person dressed as a scholar holds a note in his hand, as if he is discussing something with the people around him. Not far away, children were playing with lanterns in the shape of animals.
"Nanxing, you've been looking at this painting for a long time, what's the mystery?" Shang Lu went through several books, but he didn't find where the so-called next link was.
"The scene in this painting is like the Mid-Autumn Festival of the Great Qian Dynasty, but these people's clothes look quite heavy." Saying that, Nanxing also pointed to a few of them, "Look at the collar of these people's clothes, it seems to be a fur collar, the Mid-Autumn Festival should not be so cold." ”
"Is it the Lantern Festival?" Shang Lu handed a book in his hand called "Bamboo Book Chronicle" to Nanxing.
This is a book that records traditional festivals, and it describes in detail the traditional festivals of the mundane world, large and small, and there are no less than 30 large and small, the second of which is the Lantern Festival.
Nan Xingzai carefully read the above account of the Lantern Festival.
In the mundane world, the Lantern Festival is also known as the "Shangyuan Festival" or "Shangyuan Day", which is the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar calendar. And "宵" refers to the time period of night, so the activities held on this day are also called "Lantern Festival". In a year, the "Lantern Festival" is an important festival second only to the Spring Festival, and can also be seen as a continuation of the Spring Festival celebration. On the 15th, the moon became extraordinarily round and large. People in the secular world seek perfection in everything, so the first full moon night of the Spring Festival is also regarded as a day to pray for good fortune. Slowly evolved into the "Lantern Festival", and because of the lanterns hung to celebrate the Spring Festival, they were hung until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and gradually evolved into an important custom of the "Lantern Festival".
"According to what is written in this book, it is possible to stay up all night." Nanxing looked at the bright moon on the painting and the lantern on the street, "The light can be on the moonlight." ”
"I actually saw the clues from the painting, not bad." Qing Ling Yuanjun's remnant soul was obviously very satisfied, "There is still the second half of the sentence, what do you want to do?" ”
