Chapter 90: Five Tones and Twelve Rhythms

When the kaleidoscope talks about these five tones and twelve rhythms, our heads are even more flickering. Although I have some in-depth research on ancient qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially in the guqin, I still have some unique insights. But if you really want to link this ancient score more than a thousand years ago, it's really hard to start. If you want to talk about this ancient music score, you have to say that the two guqin songs inherited from the "Secret Score of Xilu Garden", namely "South Wind Chang" and "Shenren Chang".

The so-called "three mountains and three mountains and merchants are saga, and the five old men from the sky welcome me to sing." There is Huang Longxi from the river, negative book map Xi snake Luo Sha (suo Tongsu). The case map looks at Min Tian's sighing, hitting the stone and smashing the Shaoxi into a secluded cave, the birds and beasts staggering and the phoenix emperor comes to the ceremony, and the triumphant wind sighs from the south. The scent of the south wind can relieve the sorrow of our people. When the south wind blows, it can help the wealth of our people. ”

This is the words and phrases in the "Song of the South Wind" of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors and Emperor Shun, which is passed on in the "Yuefu Poetry Collection". According to legend, it is a folk song that sings the relationship between Yuncheng salt pond and people's life when Yu Shun. This ancient ballad is to say that all things in the world welcome the grace of the wind, although there are only a few sentences, but its feelings are more complicated. The whole poem uses the tone of Emperor Shun to express the dual feelings of the Chinese ancestors who both praised and prayed for the "south wind". It is also a manifestation of ancient "poetry" and "scriptures".

However, "Shenren Chang" is different, this song expresses the former tribal leader "Yao" playing the piano when he was sacrificing, and the wonderful sound of the piano moved the heavens, so that the gods came down and sang and danced happily with the people, and celebrated the grand ceremony. Both of these pieces are in the key of "Yellow Bell Tune", which is the right key. (Brief score 1.2.3.5.6)

Thinking of this, I looked at the three pipes and the number cues of the ancient music score recorded on the mask. Then he asked, "Could this key be the yellow bell tune commonly used in ancient music?" ”

Kaleidoscope was stunned when he heard me say this, and smiled faintly with surprise: "Oh, I can't imagine that the eldest nephew is so young and has studied this ancient music, which really impresses me." ”

I smiled and waved my hand: "It's nothing, I'm just idle to play the guqin, vassals and vassals." ”

Kaleidoscope smiled and looked at the three iron pipes: "The so-called "Huang Zhong Da Lu" symbolizes beauty and harmony, so it is called the positive tone. There is really nothing wrong with your reasoning. As he spoke, he glanced at the grimace standing nearby. Third brother, I'll ask for a guilty first, since I'm talking about this, I have to say that you're not. ”

Grimace frowned when he heard this, snorted coldly, took a few steps forward with the cigarette roll and hid to the side, out of sight and out of mind, and his ears were clean.

The kaleidoscope saw that the grimace flashed to the side, and the grimace that rushed away with his hands folded was raised, and he also recited a few "Amitabha Buddha" in his heart, just like sending away the plague god, he unloaded the burden of a thousand catties, and then said again: "Big nephew, you also saw that I just fought with Sha Laoqi and the abductor Lao Ba and fought a person on his back." It's not like we're going to fight, it's all up to you, the third master, TM grimacing Zhang Sanye. As he spoke, he took a sip on the ground.

I was confused by his words again, why do you have to make a grimace? What does it have to do with him when you fight, and he didn't kick you to fight, he didn't know where he was at that time. When you see this "three-headed statue", no one dares to come, or people grimace and forget to die. This is good, you came to a "full and scolded the cook" to cross the river and tear down the bridge, and this also scolded people, I secretly said that none of them are good things.

The kaleidoscope saw that I hesitated like this, and smiled: "Eldest nephew, did you also hear the sound of Tao Xun in this cave when you were crawling in this tomb just now?" ”

I nodded my head: "I heard, so what?" ”

Kaleidoscope saw that I was slightly disgusted with him, and sneered: "Big nephew, you are still hairy." "Saying that, this guy brought out a disgusting banter." Let me ask you, what is your first feeling when you go to the sound of Tao Xun echoing in this tomb? Do you also feel inexplicable irritability, and there is a nameless fire that wants to be released? ”

I was stunned for a moment, and recalled the scene just now, and when I said this, I did have an inexplicable sense of irritability. I looked at the kaleidoscope and motioned for him to continue.

He nodded: "The third brother played these three pipes indiscriminately just now, it was intentional, in order to let the three of us fight." ”

"Huh?" I was so surprised that I looked at the kaleidoscope with wide eyes. According to what he said, it is a sure thing that the grimace Zhang is a traitor, I calmed down again, and said that it is not right, if this guy wants to let these three people fight for their lives, he will still use it to stop the two of Tie Gui Liu? I immediately waved my hand: "Come on, you can be considered ungrateful when you say this." If it weren't for the grimace of others, you would have let Tie Guan Liu be poked to death by now, and you would still be able to breathe so peacefully here? ”

Kaleidoscope snorted coldly and waved his hand: "Big nephew, if I die, do you think that just a few of you "illiterate" can get out of this Tianchi bucket safely?" I'm not boasting about it, the tomb door text in front, and the paradoxical stone steps, if it weren't for my kaleidoscope, you would have been able to come here in real profit? ”

I have nothing to say about this, but the erudition of this kaleidoscope convinces me. If there really isn't such a character in this team, then we can't say what kind of situation we will encounter.

"Don't talk about this yet, you should first think about how to break the mechanism of these three pipes." When I heard this, I didn't want to listen any further. I already knew in my heart that these people seemed to be one team, but in fact, this team should be divided into at least two factions or even more, and each with its own evil intentions. Thinking of this, he hurriedly diverted the topic and didn't let him go any further.

Kaleidoscope nodded knowingly, since the tomb gate incident, I opened the tomb door without knowing it, and this group of old-timers from Jingjiumen seemed to have some jealousy towards me, and they no longer filmed me in the same way.

"Big nephew, I know you don't like to hear it. I also admit it, you third master, don't look at the grimace of the third master, Zhang Sanye is only in his twenties, and his skills can be said to be second only to our eldest brother Tong Tianguan and second brother Hou Qiankun in the industry. But you also know that this young man will inevitably have some pride, and we have come from a young age, and we all know it. ”

I nodded, but didn't answer, and pointed to the three iron pipes beside me, motioning for him to talk about the topic.

Kaleidoscope looked at the iron pipe sideways and nodded: "The third brother used these three iron pipes by mistake just now, so the Xun music played is a discordant rhythm, I won't say it intentionally or not, but you also understand that if this rhythm is wrong again, it won't be a joke for our group to have a scuffle." ”

I nodded: "Then do you think this key is not Huang Zhong's key?" ”

Kaleidoscope pondered for a moment, and sighed: "I don't know if my assumption is right, the era of this bucket is now inferred nothing more than two inferences. The first was the Para dynasty in India, and the second was the Kushan dynasty near the Hexi Corridor. Although the two ruling classes are hundreds of years apart, both the Pala Dynasty and the Kushan Dynasty belong to the Hu people in the Central Plains, right? ”

I nodded in agreement.

"Since that's the case, do you know the "Hu Ji" in the piano song, the eldest nephew?"

It dawned on me that I didn't expect the kaleidoscope to say "Hu Ji", and I realized that I really hated less when I used the book.

Hu Ji (jia with pronunciation). It is a Mongolian border edge air sound instrument, and the folk are also called Chaoer, Maodun Chaoer. It is similar to the shape of wind suona. And the qin song I just talked about is the famous Chinese guqin song "Hu Ji Eighteen Beats".

The eighteen beats of Hu Ji are said to have been made by Cai Wenji in the late Eastern Han Dynasty with the timbre of Hu Ji integrated into the guqin, but some scholars believe that it is a folk work. This qin song is divided into 39 different qin songs such as "big beard" and "small beard", the most widely circulated is the record in Sun Pixian's "Qin Shi" during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, according to the score, the eighteen beats of the Hu Ji is a combination of eighteen songs.

"Then you mean to play this Tao Xun in a "Ruibin tune"? I asked, hesitantly.

Kaleidoscope nodded, as if to confirm his conclusion.

I nodded helplessly, and there seemed to be no better inference than this, and then I picked up the three golden masks with ancient secret scores written on them and handed them to him: "I can't read the scores on this either, so you should come." ”

Kaleidoscope smiled playfully: "Big nephew, let me explain to you the music score on this." ”
