After breakfast, Ji Chang called Qiao Kun to work together and deal with the vegetable patch in the small courtyard.

The vegetable field is several feet longitudinal and horizontal, and the vegetables planted in it are vaguely cabbage, green onions, leeks and the like.

Ji Chang wanted to water, fertilize, and weed Qiao Kun.

Qiao Kun has seen these jobs before, and he has done some of them, so they naturally look like them.

After taking care of the courtyard, Ji Chang called him to go to the fields outside to work.

Ji Chang also has two plots of land outside the hospital, which are quite far away from his residence.

Along the way, I saw some lush fields, all of which were planted with millet, millet, wheat, and soybean, in addition to kapok.

Some farmers on the road came to greet Ji Chang, and Ji Chang also introduced Qiao Kun to everyone.

"They are all sinners." Ji Chang explained to Qiao Kun as he walked, "The whole Yili field is too thin, and they don't have enough strength, even if they have children to help, they always can't eat." And I was old and weak, so I gave them some of my land, and received only a small portion of the grain. ”

You are a landlord who exploits the poor and middle peasants. Of course, Qiao Kun only dared to think about this in his heart, but he didn't say it. And he knew that Ji Chang was already very kind like this.

While talking, the two of them have arrived at Ji Chang's self-cultivated land, these two pieces of land are not big, together they are about one acre, one is planted with soybean, and the other is planted with wheat.

Although Qiao Kun was injured, his physical strength was still far beyond that of ordinary people, and one person was worth dozens of ordinary people, and he soon finished serving the fields.

Then Ji Chang took him to other places and asked him to help others, and Qiao Kun did it too, and he didn't want to.

In this way, at noon, he helped seven or eight families, and Ji Chang called him home.

At this time, Ziyun was in the courtyard, holding the jade pipa and playing the tune, and there was a killing intention in the song.

When she saw the two of them returning, she nodded slightly and continued to play.

Ji Chang shook his head with a smile, and didn't care, only took Qiao Kun into the main house.

The main room is not too big, and there is a piano in the center, about five feet two inches long.

The workmanship of the piano is quite rough, the wood grain on the surface of the piano is clearly visible, the sound column is very ordinary, even a little ugly, but the position is correct, the piano surface is spotless, and it is oiled, obviously well maintained.

But this qin is different from the lyre that Qiao Kun knew before, there are only five strings.

Qiao Kun is actually quite resistant to learning the piano, he has always felt that he has no musical talent, and learning that thing is purely a waste of time.

It's just that Ji Chang insisted again and again, and Qiao Kun knew that learning the piano was also an important part of resolving the fist strength of the "Five Emperor Dragon Fist", so he had to agree.

Ji Chang said to Qiao Kun: "The Yaoqin is made by Fuxi, seven feet and two inches long, with pure silk as the strings, carved paulownia wood as the qin, called 'ancient relics'." Zhiyu Shun changed to five strings, eight feet six inches long, and then I followed the old system of Fuxi, changed the size to five feet two inches, its sound is softer, its rhyme is more vigorous. ”

Qiao Kun nodded, and sure enough, the courses all started with history.

"There are twelve rhythms in music, which are for Huang Zhong, Da Lu, Tai Tuan, Jia Zhong, Gu Xi, Zhong Lu, Rui Bin, Lin Zhong, Yi Ze, Nan Lu, Wu Shot, and Ying Zhong. This is the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor heard the sound of the phoenix and made. ”

"There are five stars in the sky, five elements in the earth, five tones in sound, five strings in the qin, and the five strings of the Yaoqin are facing the five tones of the palace, Shang, Jiao, Wei, and Yu."

Ji Chang said, seeing that Qiao Kun's mind was a little indifferent, he asked, "Do you have any questions?" ”

Qiao Kun shook his head, this is just talking about history and basic knowledge, what questions can you have? Repeat it now, and there's nothing wrong with that.

"Okay." Ji Chang nodded, and first taught the basic posture of the piano, height, sitting posture, hands and elbows, and then taught the basic techniques, such as picking and wiping.

After Qiao Kun mastered it, Ji Chang tried to teach a very short tune, called "Guan Ju".

The words said: "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island." My Fair Lady, Gentleman ......"

Ji Chang's voice is thick and a little hoarse, very magnetic, with the sound of the piano, there is a lingering meaning, apprehension, higher than the young man.

Qiao Kun listened to Ji Chang pop up a poem "Guan Ju", and couldn't help but complain in his heart, isn't this the first poem on the "Book of Songs"? Why is it available now?

Ji Chang said to him: "This is a song sung by the people of Xiqi, and I heard it decades ago. Now take it as a song, professor and you. ”

Seeing that Ji Chang had already gotten up and given up his seat, Qiao Kun had no choice but to sit down, recall the various points that Ji Chang said, and adjust his body shape, elbows, etc.

Then he tried to play, and it turned out to be played, the fingering was rusty, but the sound was inaccurate.

It's just that there is no lingering meaning in the song, but there is a momentum of stubbornness and perseverance.

Can I bounce it off? Qiao Kun couldn't help but be surprised. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that the credit of the gods and demons Bai Gu, maybe some gods and demons, strengthened his talent in music.

Ji Chang listened to Qiao Kun playing the piano, and didn't seem to be very satisfied, but he didn't correct it anymore, just said: "You don't feel deeply emotionally, and you don't have a tossing and turning feeling, so it's better to try "July". ”

After that, he played a song, only a few sounds, there was a sense of sadness, and since then it has become more and more intense, even if there is occasional joy, it can't hide the desolation and hardship.

The song "July" is very long, and there are seven or eight paragraphs of words, until the end, "Friends drink and feast, and say kill the lamb." Standing in the court, called him a child, and longevity is boundless".

This piece depicts the spring ploughing, autumn harvest, winter storage, mulberry picking, dyeing, sewing, hunting, building houses, brewing, labor, and feasting.

Ji Chang also has a deep grasp of his feelings, so he vividly expresses the joys and sorrows in it.

Qiao Kun now has some musical talent, and he feels it for a while.

After all, this piece was too long, and Qiao Kun only sat in his seat, thinking about each note and fingering, and couldn't play it for a while.

After hesitating, there was a pearl-like pipa sound, and the tune was this "July", obviously the pipa spirit outside led him with the pipa sound.

It's just that the tune played by Ziyun has no meaning of bitterness and hardship, only a majestic atmosphere, full of the meaning of killing the golden iron horse.

Qiao Kun felt as if he was in the scene, facing the feeling of thousands of troops.

He said in his heart that this pipa spirit should play "Ambush on All Sides".

Although he thought so, he played the "July" with the piano and played it.

He also understands the hardships of life, the meaning of the sound of the piano is similar to that of Ji Chang, if there is any difference, it is that his piano sound carries some love for life, as well as because of the persistence of life itself.

Ji Chang seemed to be satisfied and did not change the tune again. It refers to Qiao Kun's kung fu of calming his mind and regulating his heart, mind and qi.

Qiao Kun has been practicing meditation since he was a child, and the method of calming his mind is not difficult for him.

It's just that it is a bit troublesome to achieve "heart and mind, mind and qi, and qi and force".

Because this qi is not true qi, nor is it mana, but a very general, constantly flowing life energy, which is difficult to understand for a while.

Qiao Kun also reacted that the music of the qin and the music itself is not important, but the important thing is this method of calming the mind and regulating the mind.

Could it be that this method is actually the basis of some kind of exercise?

He has a fixed opinion, but he is more attentive to the moment.

It's over, it's done. Ji Chang was no longer there, but the jade pipa essence was beside him.

Thinking of the ensemble just now, Qiao Kun actually still misses it a little, after all, the sound and artistic conception of the ensemble are far more layered than the solo.

The original song was a little miserable and hard, but they played it as a golden iron horse, striving for self-improvement, although it did not express the original artistic conception, but it was also interesting.

Thinking of this, Qiao Kun couldn't help but feel close to Ziyun, so he asked her: "You are the Great Demon Realm, why are you here, and what does you have to do with Xibohou?" ”
