Chapter 132: Flute making

Nodding thoughtfully, Di Shuye was also a little happy in his heart, Brother Parrot had never fully shown his strength, when he got Xiaoqing eight years ago, the little guy was still a cub, and now eight years have passed, and he still doesn't know what kind of cloud beast Xiaoqing is.

It's just that whether it is in the back mountain of Qinzong or in the Fog Shadow Mountain Range, the blue bird has made a few rare moves, and each time it has shocked Di Shuye and the sky to shoot the water. Now that he was sealing himself for the first time, thinking of Xiaoqing breaking through, Di Shuye couldn't wait to know what kind of ability the blue bird would have at that time.

Accompanied San'er to solve a large table of delicious food, the little guy snuggled at Di Shuye's feet, and fell asleep beautifully. Seeing that the strange father and son had finally finished eating, Tianpai Shui pouted, "Finished eating?"

Di Shuye smiled, sighed slightly in his heart, Tianpai Water has existed in the state of soul for more than 3,000 years, and now looking at the delicious present, but only the dry portion, this kind of pain can be imagined.

"Grandpa Shui, now you should tell me what to find, right?" Di Shuye changed the subject, he had not forgotten the goal of this trip, Tianpai Shui said that he wanted to buy some strange wood and good wood to make musical instruments, and he didn't know what he needed to buy.

"Let's start with the simplest flute and flute!" "After a long period of silence, Tian Pai Shui said, "The small green bamboo that is more than 100 years old is barely textured, if you have it, you can buy more, as for the rest...... I said, you make a list one by one!"

"The piano made of nine-bending wood and waterfall rattan wood can barely be used, and no matter how high-grade the wood is, you can't set it freely with your current cultivation, and the rest ...... I won't be able to think of it for a while, so let's go together and try our luck, if we can bump into it, it will save me from thinking hard, anyway, you are just used to practice, and the low-level ones are nothing!"

"Okay!" Di Shuye was not worried about the exposure of Tianpai Shui, after all, Tianpai Shui had said that only the masters of the late stage of the sage could be aware of his existence, although this black triangle was chaotic, but the great masters of the late stage of the sage, there must not be many!

The vendors who set up stalls on the street have already fled at this time, only pedestrians come and go, some of them look around from time to time, obviously these guys are also like the animal skin vendors, things are hidden in the space ring, if they find that He Nanxuan's people are leaving, these guys will definitely set up stalls on the spot.

Without a stall, Di Shuye can only look for a store with a storefront. Walking on the street, looking at the calm facades, Di Shuye knew in his heart, it seemed that the animal skin vendor was right, these merchants with facades had long been accustomed to the unwritten 'rules' of the black triangle, and they were repeatedly taxed, and they did not complain or resist.

After walking a short distance, I saw a timber shop called 'Wansen Store', and when I walked into the store, I was greeted by a strong woody aroma, which made people feel refreshed. After looking around, Di Shuye retreated in disappointment, all of them were large giant trees, and they were not famous woods, but they were not high, and they were not suitable for making musical instruments.

After walking through several streets in a row, he never saw a shop selling timber again, and just when Di Shuye was about to laugh at his luck, the sound of the sky slapping water suddenly sounded in his head: "The smell of porcelain rattan in front is relatively good wood, go over and take a look!"

Di Shuye was happy in his heart, finally there, and hurriedly quickened his pace. Sure enough, not long after, there was a small shop on the right-hand side in front of me, although the shop was small, but there were quite a lot of people, and the two guys were busy before and after, and they were a little too busy to socialize.

Seeing Di Shuye come in, the boss was overjoyed, and secretly said that the stalls outside were scared away, and the business was really booming, so he got up and greeted Di Shuye with a smile. Waving his hand casually, Di Shuye was communicating with Tianpai Shui, how could he have time to talk to him, and slowly walked to the depths of the store.

"On the third iron frame, the second layer, the one with a bright body, is the porcelain vine!" Tian Pao Shui pointed at Di Shuye, nodded, Di Shuye walked to the edge of the third iron frame, and looked at the second layer, among which a giant tree with a length of about one meter and nearly two meters was neatly stacked together, and the innermost part really showed a trace of reflection.

"Yes, this is still the root of the porcelain vine, stout, medium and low texture, the general guqin can be made with it, if the formation is depicted or even inlaid with the cloud beast Neidan, it is also a good piano!"

Di Shuye secretly praised the world for being strange, bargained with the boss for a moment, and bought the porcelain vine root with his height at a price of five thousand gold coins, that is, two thousand five hundred taels of gold. I thought that this small shop could not swipe the gold card, the clinker seems to be a small shop, but the configuration is quite high, Di Shuye decisively swiped the card, as for how much balance is still on the three gold cards obtained from the hands of Elder Xiang, you have to get the money to inquire.

Swiped the card, Di Shuye waved his hand, loaded the porcelain rattan into the attic in the virtual pot space, quickly left the shop, and then under the guidance of Tianpai Shui, he bought several kinds of wood along the way, but unfortunately he never found the string material that satisfied Tianpai Shui.

"It's strange, why isn't there high-grade silk everywhere?" After walking for a long time, Di Shuye couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

"Hehe, this is nothing strange, it's normal, the strings of ordinary musical instruments are made of ordinary silk, the flexibility of ordinary silk is relatively good, not easy to break, and even if it is broken, you can pick it up and use it again, if you want to make a better piano, silk naturally needs to be better, what you need now is to practice, it's useless to be too high-level, just buy some ordinary silk, practice it tonight, and let's go to the Craftsman Association tomorrow!"

"What are you going to do with the Craftsman Association?" Di Shuye was stunned for a moment, and Tianpai Shui laughed: "Without the approval of the Craftsman Association, who wants the piano you make?" And the Craftsman Association can help you sell the piano you make, provided that you have to assess the craftsman level!"

"I see!What is the division of the craftsman rank?" Di Shuye nodded and asked in his heart.

"Just like the alchemist, the level is divided according to the comprehensive degree of spiritual power and strength! With your spiritual power, I estimate that you can reach the level of the three-pole craftsman at present, but as for the strength, I'm afraid it's not enough!"

A few days ago, Di Shuye knew that the strength of spiritual power determines a craftsman's control over the texture and texture of wood and the degree of portrayal of the formation of musical instruments, and strength determines whether a craftsman has the ability to transform wood.

Nodding, Di Shuye visited several shops and bought some ordinary silk, anyway, it was used to practice his hands, not for quality, but for quantity.

After purchasing the required materials, Di Shuye rushed back to the inn, sat on the bed for a while, and dodged into the void pot space.

Taking out all the materials, Tianpai Shui muttered: "Start with the Dong Xiao flute, the bamboo flute is relatively easy to make!"

Di Shuye nodded, and picked out some low-level materials such as the Nine Sections of Purple Bamboo and the Little Green Bamboo purchased from a large pile of materials, these materials are all ordinary materials, and squandering them at will is at best a matter of thousands of gold coins.

"To make ordinary hole flutes, purple bamboo is mostly used. Bamboo should be old, that is, four to five years of bamboo, the fiber should be fine and compact, and the bamboo should be dried and dried thoroughly, and the thickness should be appropriate. These bamboos are all dried in the shade, as for the drying, you have to rely on yourself! Four to five years of bamboo is the strongest, the largest bulk density, less than three years too tender, more than five years has gradually aged, of course, these statements are only for ordinary bamboo, after all, ordinary bamboo bears limited capacity, high-grade bamboo is not necessarily the case"

"It is rumored that the bamboo rudder of Tianzong was the day, oh is now the bamboo sect, and there is a rare boy bamboo in the 'ten thousand bamboo seas' of the bamboo sect...... Of course, it is better to be tight, but not the heavier, the better. Because the thickness is the same, the heavier it is, the thicker the bamboo flesh, and the wall of the tube is too thick, not only the treble is sluggish, but the bass is not mellow enough. ”

"Let's talk about the flute, the flute is expensive with nine sections. Because within a certain length, the more nodes, the closer the bamboo is to the roots. The bamboo close to the root is denser and has a large diameter difference between the two ends, which is very conducive to resonance. Some mediocre people choose materials, and in the name of Mu Jiujie, they keep the flute body very long. This not only brings inconvenience to the performance, but also harms the aesthetics. Well, first of all, the first step is to perceive the age, texture, pipe diameter, and thickness of the bamboo flesh with mental power, which is the first step in making any musical instrument, called distinguishing materials!"

"Oh!" Di Shuye was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect an ordinary hole flute to say so much, and immediately pulled a small green bamboo, held it in his hand, closed his eyes, and the essence of the essence was transformed into pure spiritual power through the transformation of the seed in the sea of consciousness, and slowly spread to the little green bamboo bamboo.

"Smack!" There was a slight sound, Di Shuye looked at his hand in amazement, only to see that the little green bamboo was still cracked, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Hehe, now I understand why I want you to rely on violin making to improve your mental power, right?" Tianpai Shui laughed.

Nodding, Di Shuye had already discovered that his control of spiritual power was extremely inaccurate, so he calmed down, took a deep breath, and held Xiao Qingzhu again. This time, he didn't dare to be careless, and carefully released his spiritual power, surrounded and immersed in the bamboo body, and suddenly, the internal organization of the little green bamboo appeared in his mind like a picture.

The neat fiber, uneven texture, pipe diameter, and thickness of the bamboo flesh are clearly reflected one by one, and I am happy in my heart, but due to emotional fluctuations, the mental power control is not accurate, and the small green bamboo "snaps" and cracks again.

Tianpai Shui just looked at him with a smile, and did not speak this time.

"Come again!" With the experience of two failures, Di Shuye also groped for a little threshold, and once again urged his spiritual power to overflow Xiao Qingzhu, leaving only about a foot of Xiao Qingzhu trembling slightly in his hand, but this time it was not broken, and after a while, Di Shuye opened his eyes with a hint of a smile in his eyes.
