Cold ice can't break the water, and dead wood can meet spring again.

The breeze blows and the lake ripples.

Look at the heart, look at the secluded heart. Qin Yu, listen to the words of Yoyo.

I looked up not far away, and this 'Soul Qinyu' should be right in front of us.

But there was no trace of Mo Qifeng and Fang Shuran, and the two of them didn't know where they went.

"It's surrounded by trees, but it doesn't look like it's inhabited, and the two men don't know where they've gone." Cui Li looked around and said.

"Cheng Shaoxia, I don't think it looks like there's a 'Ghost Heart Qinyu' here. The two of them are afraid that they have already left. The blacksmith also thought it strange.

I looked at the flowers and trees around me, and suddenly I saw a path paved with stones in front of me. I'm afraid this path is the path that leads to 'Kotoyu of the Heart'.

"If we follow this stone path, we should be able to reach the 'Soul Qinyu'." I turned around and said to Cui Li's friend blacksmith.

"Cheng Yin, how do you know that this path leads to the 'Youxin Qinyu'?" Cui Li asked as he did it.

"Actually, I'm not sure, it's just a feeling, the winding path leads to a secluded place." I couldn't see the end of the trail as far as I could see.

"A winding path leads to a secluded place? Get this secluded place, is it the 'Phantom Heart Qinyu'? Cui Li seemed to have a sudden realization.

Our pace is getting faster and faster, but the path is far longer than we thought, and it even feels like we have left Gangneung City.

"Cheng Yin, we've been walking for so long, why haven't we arrived yet?" Cui Li was obviously a little tired.

"We're here!" Just after a turn, a series of tall buildings appeared in front of us.

We followed the fence outside the building and finally came to the gate of the 'Soul Kotoyu'.

I gently pushed the lock ring on the top of the wooden door.

An instant...

A woman pushed open the wooden door from the inside, and the woman was wearing a pink doffi dress, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and she looked very young.

"Hello, are you Su Qinyu of 'Youxin Qinyu'?" Cui Li asked softly.

After hearing this, the woman hid her face and smiled, "This young man, he is young, and his eyesight is really poor, how can I be the owner of this 'Youxin Qinyu', you are here to visit my master?" ”

"Exactly, I hope you can help us report it." I replied.

"There is no need to tell me, my master already knew that you were coming, so he asked me to wait here, and you came with me." The woman turned and walked away.

The 'Youxin Qinyu' in front of me is really elegant, the layout of flowers and plants, and the furnishings in the courtyard are all just right. An increase of one point is too much, and a decrease of one point is too little.

I let out a cry of admiration from time to time along the way,

But just when we lingered, the sound of the piano suddenly started, and between the snaps of the fingers, it was prosperous, the music style turned again, and the charm was lingering.

"The sound of this piano is really good, dare to ask who played this piano?" I leaned over to ask the woman leading the way.

But the woman didn't answer me, just quickened her pace.

However, the sound of the piano was getting closer and closer to us, almost so close, that my eyes suddenly stopped on the pavilion not far away.

I saw a person sitting in the pavilion, playing the guzheng in front of him, and two women standing beside him.

It's just that the woman who played the guzheng was wearing a veil, and she couldn't see her face clearly.

We approached the pavilion, and the melodious sound of the piano seemed to linger in our ears.

"The Chinese qin played by Your Excellency [Note 1] has a high but not abrupt sound, low but not deep. It's very good. "I had already walked into the pavilion as I spoke.

"Oh, this young man also knows some music?" The veiled woman stopped the zither in her hand.

"I just understand a little, but I think your piano sound is very good, so I can't help but say my feelings. See smiled. I said modestly

"Shaoxia, don't be humble, my 'Youxin Qinyu' is located in a remote area, it is difficult for outsiders to find, you wait for this visit, it is really rare, but I don't know what's going on?" The veiled woman said arrogantly.

"To be honest, I just came here this time to visit Su Qinyu, the owner of 'Youxin Qinyu', but I have important things to discuss." Mine said.

"I am Su Qinyu, the owner of this 'Youxin Qinyu', what you say is a peaceful thing?" Su Qinyu stroked the piano with his right hand, and the sound of the piano couldn't help but make us take a few steps back.

It turned out that this woman playing the piano was Su Qinyu of 'Youxin Qinyu', and sure enough, as Mo Qifeng and Fang Shuran said, this person has an arrogant personality, and it seems that he is not a person who can easily move. Anyway, let's give it a try.

"We originally wanted to help Liu Xuande, who was pouring troops south, but Jiangling City was heavily guarded, so I came here this time to ask Your Excellency to help us get out of the city." I speak sincerely.

"Joke!! Joke!!! These little things are what you call big things? Su Qinyu laughed and said, "You should leave quickly, and I won't be far away!! ”

[Note 1] Guzheng, also known as Han Zheng, Qin Zheng, Yao Zheng, Luan Zheng, is a Zheng instrument among traditional Chinese musical instruments, which is a plucked instrument. It is one of the unique and important national musical instruments in China. It has a beautiful timbre, a wide range, rich playing skills, and quite strong expressiveness, so it is deeply loved by the masses. Now there are also small zithers, portable zithers, mini zithers, half zithers, new zithers, and 12 equal law transfer ziters. The guzheng is an ancient national musical instrument that accompanies China's long-standing culture and is native to this fertile loess soil. It is a plucked musical instrument, and its structure is composed of a panel, a goose pillar (also called a zither yard in some sections), a string, a front mountain, a string nail, a tuning box, a foot, a back mountain, a side plate, a sound outlet, a bottom plate, and a string hole. The shape of the Zheng is a rectangular wooden speaker, the string frame "Zheng Pillar" (i.e. the Goose Pillar) can move freely, one string and one tone, arranged according to the pentatonic scale, the earliest 25 strings of the Zheng for the most (divided into Zheng), there are thirteen strings in the Tang and Song dynasties, and then increased to sixteen, eighteen strings, twenty-one strings, etc., the most commonly used specifications are twenty-one strings.

Jingzhou, it is generally believed that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jingzhou originally had seven counties: Nanyang County, Nan County, Jiangxia County, Lingling County, Guiyang County, Wuling County, Changsha County, after the Battle of Chibi, the seven counties of Jingzhou were divided by Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan, Cao Cao occupied the largest Nanyang County in the north of Jingzhou, Sun Quan got Jiangxia County and Nan County, and Liu Bei got four counties in the south of Jingzhou (Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling). Liu Bei's military security was not conducive to development, so he proposed to Sun Quan twice to borrow the southern county of Jingzhou, and Eastern Wu Lusu persuaded Sun Quan to temporarily lend the southern county to Liu Bei, so Liu Bei had five counties of Jingzhou (Nanjun, Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling).
