Luoyang Volume (I) Chapter 86 Music Maniac

If Shi Xin was sober, hearing Ji Kang's name would naturally be like thunder. He was the head of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest" in the Wei period, and was a world-famous thinker, musician, and writer. The song "Guangling San" is impassioned and moving, and it will be praised for future generations.

But now Ji Kang is just a down-and-out literati, he has never met talents, his heart is full of dissatisfaction and indignation against reality, and in the end he simply let loose his wreckage, and is often regarded as an outlier.

In order to show his difference, Ji Kang did not open the pulse and vowed not to become a pulse master for the rest of his life. This is also the reason why he is talented, but most people are reluctant to use him.

How can he fight against the world alone? This is the world of pulse masters, who would use a person who can clean him up even a low-level pulse master?

"Sir, what do you have to say?" Cai Yan seems to have heard this name somewhere, but he doesn't remember it very clearly.

Ji Kang sat on the stool without being instructed, "I don't dare to see the teaching, I just want to learn from Miss Cai." ”

Cai Yan smiled lightly, "Since Mr. has this Yaxing, Wen Ji has nothing to do, let's meet friends with the piano." ”

Ji Kang was also not polite, and untied a long piano from behind him. The body of the piano is black, and the strings are also black, exuding a thick and mysterious temperament throughout. Ji Kang's left hand gently stroked the strings, as gentle as a mother caressing a baby. With his right hand, he plucked the strings lightly, leaned over and listened quietly, as if listening to his lover's soft words.

With the piano in hand, Ji Kang's sloppy image suddenly changed dramatically. His waist is straight, his eyes are not squinting, and the whole person seems to be integrated with the long qin. The blood on his face had become grim, and his dirty, torn clothes made him look ethereal.

Cai Yan is a master of piano skills, and he knows that he is very human just by seeing Ji Kang's posture.

"Fetch my harp!"

The fighting spirit in Cai Yan's heart was suddenly hooked. Fighting the piano is the same as fighting chess, when you encounter an opponent with a similar level to yourself, you can't help but have a fight.

Since Ji Kang is not a pulse master, Cai Yan naturally will not use the pulse device Lu Qiqin to fight him, so even if he wins, he will not be able to win.

After a while, the next person brought Cai Yan's Yaoqin. This Yaoqin is made according to the appearance of Lu Qiqin, and it is similar to Lu Qiqin when it is used without using true qi.

"Good piano!" Ji Kang is also a big fan of the piano, so he naturally recognizes Cai Yan's Yaoqin as extraordinary.

Cai Yan smiled lightly: "Sir's is not bad, come on!"

"A song "Drunken Bamboo Forest", for Miss Cai!"

"A song "Spring and White Snow", for Mr. Ji Kang!"

Ji Kang frowned, plucked the strings with his right hand, and made a sonorous sound of "Cheng Cheng", and there seemed to be dissatisfaction in the sound of the piano.

"This "Drunken Bamboo Forest" is a contemptible new work. I heard that Miss Cai also has her own song "Acacia", why don't you play it and open your eyes? Or does Miss Cai look down on a certain person at all and fool her with the old song "Spring and White Snow"?

Cai Yan shook his head, "The music of "Acacia" is not suitable for the use of members, I hope Mr. Ji will forgive me." However, even "Spring and White Snow" is enough to refresh Mr. ”

"Hmph, since you're so confident, come on!"

Fighting the piano with a real piano is actually similar to fighting the piano with a pulse instrument. Use your own piano sound to influence the sound of others, and then calm down and not be affected by the other person's piano sound. Whoever performs well wins.

Ji Kang's outstretched hands were exposed, and he played the piano with wide opening and closing, the technique was simple and rude, very wild. When playing the piano, the techniques of the right hand generally include: breaking, picking, beating, picking, wheeling, plucking, pinching, rolling and so on. However, Ji Kang's "Drunken Bamboo Forest", the sound of the piano is not all the elegant artistic conception of the drunken bamboo forest, uninhibited with indignation, elegant with solemnity, as if pouring out some kind of unpleasant emotion.

Ji Kang's right hand does not have many techniques, and generally only uses the four movements of the tick and the split, so that the sound of the piano has been maintained in a high-pitched and intense state, full of masculine unique style.

On the other hand, Cai Yan's technique is changeable, and the meaning of the song is the same as that of most ancient songs, by praising the beauty of nature, it is a metaphor for the noble sentiments.

Relatively speaking, Cai Yan has suffered a loss for such a track. The sound of Ji Kang's piano is like the turbulent Yellow River, or the battlefield of flesh and blood, while the sound of Cai Yan's piano is like a delicate stream flowing with thin water, or three or five friends gather to dance and write. A kind of passion and unrestrainedness, which makes people's blood boil, and a kind of whispering, which makes people feel that the years are quiet. Compared with the two, Ji Kang's piano sound is naturally more fascinating.

The reality is that this is true. Ji Kang's piano completely suppressed Cai Yan's, making Cai Yan's piano sound like a noise, and I wanted her to stop. If the two sides of the douqin at this time are pulse masters, Cai Yan is already on the verge of being controlled.

Ji Kang's face was proud, his subordinates kept talking, and shouted loudly: "Miss Cai, if you don't play "Acacia" again, you will lose immediately." If you lose, I, Ji Kang, will become famous in the Han Dynasty, haha!"

The corners of Cai Yan's mouth lifted, and he didn't know whether he was sneering or not caring. The sign that should have popped up under his subordinates turned out to be a sign of change. Where can this change be hidden from Ji Kang, who is a master of this way, he was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that Cai Yan had been shaken by his own influence.

Unexpectedly, Cai Yan changed more than one sign, and the next few notes couldn't connect to "Yangchun White Snow" just now. Although the tune has been changed, the rhyme is still there, obviously intentionally.

Ji Kang frowned, and after thinking about it, he suddenly realized: Someone once said that Cai Yan and Zhou Yu won the Heavenly Master Sect competition by surprise, which is probably this kind of trick.

"You are strange, you are strange, I am a song, so I am a song. Ji Kang thought, "As long as I ignore her changes and concentrate on playing my own music, she will naturally lose." ”

Ji Kang made up his mind, just like a hard-working student who didn't listen to what was going on outside the window and only read the books of the sages, buried himself in playing the piano and turned a deaf ear to Cai Yan's piano sound.

The corners of Cai Yan's mouth lifted again, this time anyone could see clearly, she was smiling, smiling confidently. "You can play on your own and not be affected by me? ”

Since Shi Xin taught Cai Yan to arrange music, and after fighting with a master of music and rhythm like Zhou Yu, she seems to have found the road to the highest palace of music and rhythm all of a sudden, although this road is a bit long, but she has already stepped into it.

"Spring and White Snow" is Cai Yan's favorite and most familiar track before creating his own tracks. When she plays, she can add different rhythms and melodies to it, not only the popular songs of Shi Xinjiao, but also some fragments of ancient songs. Sometimes it is a whim, and it is also temporarily added to the melody of sudden inspiration.

Regarding Ji Kang's attitude, Cai Yan naturally has a strategy to deal with it, otherwise she wouldn't laugh. After this competition of about a stick of incense, Cai Yan has a general understanding of the style of Ji Kang's "Drunken Bamboo Forest".

Seeing that Ji Kang's fingers were about to pop up a "feather" sound again, Cai Yan played a "feather" before him. The two "feathers" popped out at the same time, and Ji Kang frowned, but he didn't pay much attention to it. There are only a few notes in the ancient song, and it is not strange to repeat them.

Of course, it is not surprising that one note is the same, but if all the following sounds are the same, it is very suspicious. Even if Ji Kang deliberately didn't listen to Cai Yan's piano, several notes in a row were the same, and Cai Yan always played one step faster than her, which surprised Ji Kang.

"How does she know what I'm going to play next?"

"Will she be able to keep up next?"

"Shall I change the tune?"

These questions have been bothering Ji Kang, making him hesitate for a while, raising his right hand, but he doesn't know what to play.

"Here's your chance!"

Cai Yan was overjoyed in his heart, and a "feather" sound popped up.

Ji Kang's eyes were distracted, and he even played a "feather" sound. Cai Yan played several tones in a row, and Ji Kang was exactly the same.

The winner is decided!

The sound of the piano in Cai Qin's hand suddenly stopped, and he pressed the strings lightly with his right hand, looking at Ji Kang with a smile.

It took Ji Kang a while to react, and when he realized that he had been defeated, he put away his arrogant expression and became full of admiration. He stood up and made a standard Confucian salute, "The world is so big, and there are many capable people!" I, Ji Kang, have seen Miss Cai's greatness today, and I ask Miss Cai to forgive me for being rude at the beginning. ”

Cai Yan got up and returned the salute, "Mr. Ji Kang's song "Drunken Bamboo Forest" just now, the artistic conception is profound, the rhyme is long-lasting, and it is no worse than any famous song. ”

Ji Kang smiled bitterly: "It's far away, it's far away." Just now, Miss Cai's song "Spring and White Snow" can defeat me, how dare I bear this reputation. By the way, I heard that Mr. Ling Zun Cai Yong is calm and sophisticated in terms of music, which is very different from the style of music that Miss Cai came to casually just now. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Actually, music and scholarship are the same way. Mr. Cai Yong is a great Confucian who is well known all over the world, and his music must inherit the tradition of his predecessors and improve it with Confucianism. ”

"Miss Cai's style of music inherits the orthodoxy of her predecessors and is above board. It is also integrated into the fluttering of Taoism, and the sword goes sideways, which is unexpected everywhere. I wonder if Miss Cai has realized it on her own, or has she been selected by some master? Can you introduce me to the contemptible person?"

Cai Yan saw that Ji Kang's analysis was reasonable, and he couldn't help but nod and said: "Since Mr. Ji Kang can say this, his level is not below Wen Ji." The one who clicked me wasn't a master, and he probably couldn't even play the piano. But he was also a guide who taught me a lot of music theory. Strange or not, you say?"

Ji Kang looked excited, "This is the real master." There are clouds in the Tao scriptures, and everything in the world cannot escape the word 'Tao'. And this master can make Miss Cai's piano skills to the next level with a casual pluck, and he can't play the piano yet, which proves that his guidance may be the highest level of 'Tao' and may be applicable to various occasions. His eyes lit up, "Listening to this master's words, it may be better than reading thousands of books, and Miss Cai must introduce you to the next one." ”

"This master lives in this room...... Cai Yan pointed to Shi Xin's room, and his expression immediately became sad, "It's just that he is asleep now, and he doesn't know when he will wake up." ”
