Chapter 122: The Sword of the Piano

Daoist Shuiyue looked at Daoist Hanyuan's guqin, smiled lightly, and said, "The Great Sage's Relic Voice, it is indeed a world-famous qin!"

The people behind didn't see the guqin of the Taoist of Hanyuan clearly, but they just looked at the antique and knew that it must not be a mortal thing.

According to legend, this "Great Sage Relics" piano was produced in the first year of the Tang Dynasty to Germany, it is the first batch of palace pianos made by Emperor Li Heng after his accession to the throne, it is said that Emperor Li Heng ordered the selection of more than 300 skilled craftsmen in the country to make the imperial palace piano in the palace, it took ten years to make only ten palace pianos, and Emperor Li Heng selected, only this palace piano was selected, and the other nine were ordered to be burned.

This piano is made by the first family of the dynasty in the ancient style, the sound of the piano is loose and loud, and it has an ancient rhyme. The shape is thick and beautiful, the lacquer color destroys the brilliant ancient Mu, the broken lines are hidden like a sword, the inscription is fine and simple, the gold emblem and jade are magnificent, and the extraordinary products can reach.

There is no shortage of people in the audience who know the goods, and some people have already begun to talk about it, "It's really the last voice of the Great Sage! Sure enough, it's the head of Wudang, everyone's demeanor, and it's a treasure of the first dynasty as soon as you make a move." ”

"It is said that Hanyuan Zhenren's piano skills are unparalleled in the world, and only such a treasure can be worthy of him. ”

"I don't know how Shuiyue real people can compete with Hanyuan real people?

The people of the Wudang faction were shocked as soon as they saw the head of the sect, and they all looked proud, watching how the Emei faction coped.

The disciples of the Emei faction all bowed their heads and lowered their eyes, they had never heard their head touch any piano, and now, seeing Han Yuan Dao Chang's extraordinary move, they were even more unconfident, and they were silent to see how their head of the sect responded.

Han Yuan Zhenren smiled slightly, gently put the qin on the futon, shook his head and said: "The qin is a treasure, but unfortunately in the hands of the old Tao, I just want to do my best not to let the treasure be dusty, then I would be too ashamed of this guqin." Although he said modestly, there was still an indescribable arrogance in his tone.

"Senior brother, you are too humble. Mizuki sat cross-legged on a futon by himself. He said softly: "The 10,000-year-old paulownia wood at the bottom of the East China Sea is made of the body, and the thousand-year-old ice silk on the top of the snow-capped mountain in the extreme north is made into the strings, and the disciples of the public class have made it by themselves for eighteen years, which is definitely a treasure in the world." Senior brother's piano skills are unparalleled in ancient and modern times, and the match with this piano is exactly complementary, how can you get the words of dust?"

"Not bad. It's a good instrument. Han Yuan Zhenren also did it slowly, shook his head and said, "Head Shuiyue, you also please." ”

Daoist Shuiyue stopped talking, but beckoned lightly to the audience, only to see a maid in Tsing Yi slowly walk up to the stage, holding a huge piano in both hands, the sound of the piano is huge, more than five feet long, and the figure of the maid in Tsing Yi is completely disproportionate.

Looking at the piano again, but everyone was disappointed, only to see that the piano was three percent larger than the ordinary piano, made of high-quality rosewood, brushed with a layer of glittering gold lacquer, golden in the sun, the seven strings seemed to be made of gold wire, the most outrageous thing is that the horn of the piano was also inlaid with a huge ruby, jewelry, more like a funeral object in the royal coffin.

Although Ye Boyu doesn't understand the piano, he can also see that the piano taken out by Daoist Shuiyue is simply a bunch of glittering waste, as if it is a golden piano that the sons and buddies who got rich overnight bought with a lot of money in order to be vassally elegant, such a thing can also deceive the women of the village in the market, not to mention that in such a competition of the six sword sects with many masters, it is simply worthless under the voice of the great sage of Hanyuan Zhenren, even if it is taken to any piano workshop, it is also a deceitful inferior.

Not only Ye Boyu and Qunhao were disappointed, but even the disciples of the Emei faction secretly shook their heads, not knowing what the hell their head was doing.

Han Yuan Zhenren remained silent, seeing that the Daoist of Shuiyue was ready, he waved his sleeves and said, "Master Shuiyue, please." ”

Daoist Shuiyue didn't say much, stretched out his slender hand, the tips of his ten fingers, and began to stroke the piano.

The sound of the piano is still crisp and pleasant, just stroked for a while, the tune that everyone only listened to was melodious and smooth, and the geese chirped from time to time could be heard in the middle, as if the geese were circling in the sky and looking forward to the scene, some people were familiar with the rhythm, and knew that she was caressing the ancient song "Flat Sand Falling Geese".

The ancient song "Pingsha Falling Geese" is peaceful and neutral, and this song is said in "Guyin Zhengzong": "Cover its autumn is high and refreshing, the wind is calm and the sand is flat, the clouds are thousands of miles, and the sky is flying." Borrowing the ambition of the partridge, write the heart of Yishi. ...... The rhythm of the whole body is three ups and downs. The first bullet is like a guest of the wild goose, the ethereal sky, the preface of the goose is in harmony, and it is faint and visible, if it comes. It wants to fall, looks around, hovers in the sky, and it will fall. The sound of breath slanted, around the continent three turns, it both falls, this echoes the other, three or five into groups, flying and lodging, to get the right situation: the son and mother with the male and female, can also taste. It is said that the whole song is euphemistic and smooth, timeless and fresh.

However, I don't know why the Shui Yue Dao Leader would raise such a song at this time. The tone of this song is peaceful, there are no big ups and downs, it is only suitable for playing the piano alone on weekdays, and no one can imagine what means of attack this song "Flat Sand and Falling Geese" can have.

Han Yuan Dao Chang smiled, and after listening to it for a while, he nodded at Shuiyue Dao Chang, and also stretched out his hands and stroked the piano, the sound of the piano was simple and far-reaching, and everyone listened to it for a while, and they heard that it was Yu Boya's ancient song "High Mountains and Flowing Water".

The two of them stroked for a long time, all of them had a peaceful tune, without any murderous spirit, where it was like the alliance leader of the Six Factions Kendo Conference, and it was more like a guqin performance in two hermit masters.

The heroes in the field are all reckless people, where is there any interest in appreciating the elegant song, but I think that the two masters at that time are more than the piano, this is interested, at this time I listened to it for a while, I felt that there was no excitement, I felt that it was extremely boring, and some people even yawned loudly.

Ye Boyu was bored at first, but after a while, he began to feel the battle between the two on the piano.

The two of them each played a song, and at the beginning they were all in their own positions and did not invade each other. After a while, the music of the two of them gradually reached **, and the true yuan contained in the qin sound continued to spread around, and finally, in the middle of the two, the qin sound began to meet each other.

In fact, there are six paragraphs of "Flat Sand and Falling Geese" by Shuiyue Dao Renfu, the first paragraph is thousands of miles away, and the wild geese come to Chu River and the sky, and the blue clouds and sky are pure. The sky is one color, thousands of miles are moving, Jiang Han autumn shadow;

The second section of Jiang Han Autumn Shadow, Jiang Han Autumn Shadow, the wind is Xiaoxiao, and the wild goose is sent back to the south. I saw a pair of double covers, with words on their heads in the sky. A few voices are loud, and they are not complaining, who knows;

The third section lives in Pingsha, Chu River is old in autumn, and Xiao Shu has reeds on both sides. And the thousand trees and maples, a bright moon, is also rippling, blowing geese and slanting. I saw the wild goose walking with its back to the glow, falling towards the water cloud. Ya Ya gradually departed from the Yunhan Road, and stood together in that flat sand. The call is also squeaky, and the unfettered are boastful;

The fourth paragraph is uncertain, in the dead of night, and the bottom of the matter is frightened, and the perching is uncertain. I only heard the dumb and dumb one, and the fluttering and chaotic waves, and the noisy screams. I want to be close to Luhu just for Jiang Feng's fishing fire, but I am afraid that I will be scheming. Therefore, he did not hesitate to avoid Goten;

In the fifth paragraph, he fell into Jiang Gao, tried to see him fly up to the clouds, disturbing and crowding, and only whirling in the sky. Meng Ke slashed at Jiang Gao again. Cha Jing also. But the wailing turned high. The voice is also screaming, in order to tell the labor, and the moon is wailing;

The sixth paragraph is eloquent, and the number of voices is rapid, and at first glance there is something to do, but it is calmly soft to discuss. The chirping gradually slowed down, and the aftermath was melodious, until the month shifted and the anvil was broken, and the leakage was longer.

At the end, the lonely guest is unbearable, and the most pitiful mountain is high and the moon is cold.

The more to the end, the more indescribable sadness and desolation, at this time, the Water Moon Dao people have just reached the second stage, it is the time when the two geese fly south, fluttering their wings and soaring, seize this opportunity, the tone of the water Moon Dao people rose sharply, and began to attack.

Han Yuan Daochang's "Alpine Flowing Water" was first classified into the "Ancient Gods", and some masters said in their solution: ""Alpine Mountain" and "Flowing Water" are two songs, and there is only one song. The original ambition is to care about the mountains, and the meaning of the benevolent people is happy with the mountains. Hou Zhi cares about flowing water, and the meaning of the wise man is happy with water. To Tang is divided into two songs, without the number of segments. In the end, it is divided into four sections of high mountains and eight sections of flowing water. ""High Mountain" is shorter, "Flowing Water" is longer, and it is not segmented, and the compilation is likely to be a score from the Tang Dynasty, and the fingering does have traces of the late Tang Dynasty and the early Song Dynasty.

Hanyuan Daochang is now touching the song "Flowing Water", "Flowing Water" makes full use of "overtones, rolling, whisking, squeezing, note, up, down" and other fingerings, depicting the various dynamics of flowing water, expressing the ambition of flowing water, the meaning of the wise man enjoying water.

The first paragraph, the introductory part. The melody is constantly jumping and changing the pitch in a wide vocal range, and the faint finger shift and the real tone are alternated, and the melody is hidden and appearing. I still see the top of the high mountain, the clouds and mist are shrouded and uncertain.

In the second and third sections, the clear overtones and lively rhythms are like "the cold current of the secluded world, the cold stream of the pine roots." "Listen quietly, and the feeling of pleasure arises spontaneously. The third segment is a repetition of an octave of the second segment, which omits the tail of the second segment.

The fourth and fifth stanzas, like the melody of a song, "its rhyme is melodious, like flowing water." ”

In the sixth section, there is a melody with ups and downs, and a large number of ascending and descending notes. Then the continuous "rolling, slow whisking" as the sound of running water, and above it played a rising and descending tone, the two cleverly combined, really like "the extremely boiling and surging view, with the image of the dragon's roar." Listen quietly, as if sitting on a dangerous boat across the Wu Gorge, dizzy, thrilling, several suspects that this body has been running in the mountains, when thousands of ravines are contending. ”

In the seventh paragraph, in the high-pitched area, the overtones of the beads descend first and then rise, and the sound momentum is greatly reduced, just like "the light boat has passed, and the momentum is like a feint, sometimes the aftermath is exciting, and sometimes the swirl is slightly wet." ”

In the eighth stanza, the variation reproduces the previous song-like melody and adds new musical material. Slightly fast and powerful, the music is full of enthusiasm. The sound of flowing water at the end of the paragraph is recalled, which is evocative.

In the ninth stanza, the carol-like melody is triggered from low to upward, full of passion. At the end of the paragraph, the seed material from the fourth paragraph appears again, and finally ends on the palace tone. The eighth and ninth sections belong to the "revival" part of the guqin music structure.

The overtones of the epilogue make people immersed in the thoughts of "Yangyang, the hope of the ancient tune".

Han Yuan Zhenren's current tune also happened to reach the second paragraph, and the piano sound gradually became lively and high, and it was in close contact with Shuiyue Zhenren's "Flat Sand and Falling Geese".

The sound of the two pianos began to meet, and a trace of white vapor and cracking sound appeared out of thin air in mid-air, everyone began to cheer up, carefully watching the battle between the two, at this time, the sky was blue, and the expressions of the two could be seen from afar, only to see Shui Yue's real face solemn, the ten commanders moved quickly, and a stream of white vapor loomed in the air on the Baihui acupoint.

Han Yuan Zhenren on the other side didn't dare to slack off, he had already put away his smiling face, and the sleeves of his robe waved continuously, covering the strings, obviously he also carried enough Zhenyuan to urge the sound of the piano.

The sound of the two held in the middle for a long time, Han Yuan Zhenren suddenly stood up, and his hands left the strings, but the sound of the qin still lingered, and his true yuan converged into a line, like ten fingers, and it was the true yuan that controlled the strings from afar.

Some disciples of the Wudang faction with higher seniority saw that Hanyuan Dao was stepping on the Tiangang Beidou direction, and every step was very slow, which was the footwork of the Wudang family when they practiced. The disciples of Wudang rarely see Han Yuan so cautious on weekdays, and it seems that he has indeed encountered a tough opponent that cannot be underestimated.

Although his hands were off the strings, the true element in his body was agitated, as if there were ten invisible fingers, and he was still pressing the strings.

Seeing that the two were fighting inseparably, everyone was dazzled, suddenly, Han Yuanzhen's footwork changed, and he began to walk briskly, and his sleeves were also waving fast, playing the third paragraph of "Alpine Flowing Water", the flowing water was murmuring, flying straight down from the cliff, and was blocked by the boulder in the middle of the cliff in the middle of the way, and the water roared, and it was divided into two strands at once.
