Chapter 280: The Joy of Chimes, Secrets of the Jin Kingdom (4k)
"Let's do some research and see if we can find any clues from the map shown by the bamboo slips. If you find anything and confirm the location of the secret in the bamboo slip, I won't forget to remind a few of you. After Jing took out a large stone slab with a mural and a large shelf of bronze chimes, Zhao Qing casually invited a few sentences, and then studied the two collections.
Regarding the ancestor of the original music, some people believe that it was the music official Linglun in the Yellow Emperor era, some people think that it was composed by Fu Xi in a more distant era, and some people say that it was created by Zhu Xiang and Ge Tian, in short, it is not clear.
Following the "Ten Songs of the Drum", "Nine Abysses", "Carrier", "Nine Shao", "Six Columns", "Six Ying", "Da Zhang" and "South Wind" in the era of ancient emperors, to the "Nine Arguments", "Nine Songs", "Da Hui", "Morning Dew", "Dawu", "Three Elephants" and "Under the Thorns" of the third dynasty of the Xia and Shang dynasties; Although most of them have been lost, or only the remnants of the repaired texts have been restored many times, and the new chapters created by later generations are similar to the "Lianshan Yi" and "Guizang Yi", which have many versions in the world and are difficult to distinguish the authenticity, they still have the divine power to penetrate the heavens and the earth.
In ancient times, most of the qi refiners and wizards studied the way of music, as a medium to communicate the avenue of heaven and earth and convey messages to mortals.
In the current era, since the Zhou Duke established the ritual music system, music is needed everywhere in various ceremonies and banquets such as court banquets, court appointments, and sacrifices.
"The music of the hall is based on the bell", and most of them are played with chimes. "Etiquette and Township Shooting Ceremony" records: "The bell and drum are the ones for the princes of the world." "Mencius: Ten Thousand Chapters" said: "Those who gather great achievements are also golden and jade are also vibrating." "In the Zhou Dynasty, the chime was better than the qin and the flute in terms of rhythm, range, and sound quality, and it was the culmination of the music and the way of music, and it was a ritual instrument that represented rank and power, stipulating that the Son of Heaven was placed on four sides, the princes on three sides, and the doctor on both sides, and the scholars could only use one side.
This set of bells collected in the Lanfeng Pavilion is divided into two groups, nine button bells on the top, six Yong bells on the bottom, a total of fifteen, after the vicissitudes of life, simple and heavy, decorated with exquisite dragon pattern and vortex.
On the surface of the fifteen bronze bells, a large number of seal inscriptions are inscribed, recording the main repertoire and musical scores played by this set of bells in the past.
According to Zhao Qing's careful investigation, it seems to be Shang Tang's "Da Hui", but since it is not a Yue Chinese script, she can only identify the general idea of it for the time being, and it is suspected that only a small part of the accompaniment of "Da Hui" was engraved.
The smaller the bell, the smaller its sound is, but the higher its pitch. Conversely, the larger the bell, the louder it is but the lower the pitch.
By striking the front and side sides of the bell, two tones can be played. Although he had not studied music in the official school where the six arts were taught in Huiji City, Zhao Qing had gained a lot of experience in music after all, and when he saw such a set of exquisite bronze chimes, he couldn't help but give it a try.
Visible currents of air swirled around the chimes like a whirlpool towards her fingers, and then coalesced into a heavy mass that struck the side of the smallest of the bells.
The bronze bell was struck by the air mass, and immediately a solemn, high-pitched and loud bell sounded, melodiously echoing, and it was endless.
However, unlike Zhao Qing's imagination that the bell contained a huge power, under her casual knock just now, the sound of the bronze bell did not seem to be special, except that it was much heavier than the qin and the sound lasted for a long time, it was completely an ordinary instrument.
Of course, if it was really just an ordinary musical instrument, it would obviously not be able to withstand the force of Zhao Qing's casual knock, and it would be shattered into pieces.
Could it be said that this piece is suspected to consist of fifteen pieces
The complete assembly of magic weapons of the "Lower Six Qi" level is worth at least half a bronze bell of the divine soldier, and only the material is particularly strong?
Guessing the doubts in her heart, the prince and Wu, who had been born in the court and had been in contact with the chimes before, smiled slightly, put the sword back into the sheath, used the hilt of the sword as a mallet, and came to this set of chimes more than five feet high and about eight feet long, and after a simple audition, they began to play.
With the crisp sound of the upper button clock, Zhao Qing's heart seemed to see a group of elk leisurely eating wild grass in an open field, and heard their chirps, one after another.
Soon, the perspective shifted to a grand reception
To the musical accompaniment of "drums and sheng", the host and guests exchanged gifts and drank wine, and the atmosphere was very cheerful...... Although there are only fifteen bronze bells and thirty tones in theory, the sound that can be played is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people through different striking methods, the change of harmony, and the integration of strength and force to manipulate and interfere with the air in the bell.
This "Deer Song", which is a banquet song, has not yet been played, and Zhao Qing already has a general understanding of the role of this chime instrument when playing music.
"The Book of Rites and Music" says: "The musician is not called Huang Zhong, Da Lu, string songs, and dry Yang, but also the end of music." ”
"The musician is happy, the gentleman is happy, and the villain is happy. If you control your desires with the Tao, you will be happy and not chaotic; If you want to forget the way, you will be confused and unhappy. It is the old gentleman who is anti-sentimental to be with his ambition, Guangle to become his teaching, happy to act and the people to the side, you can observe virtue. "The way of truly good music is not simply to convey the message of sound, but to carry and elaborate it through music
"Dao" with
"Virtue" resounded in the depths of the audience's heart, through the collision and confrontation between world view and morality, to make people happy and convincing.
precisely
"There are sun, moon and stars in the sky, mountains and rivers and seas on the earth, all things are mature in the year, the state-owned sage palace and the surrounding bureaucrats, people have words, clothes, and physical appearance, and they are happy."
In short, if you want to use the way of music to fight the enemy's wounds, then the sound of the music played in the process is only a medium for the confrontation of the two sides.
Musical instruments such as chimes are props that amplify the power of the clash of hearts, which can project the way in the player's heart into the listener's mind after modification, and have a bonus effect.
For example, if the prince and Wu are playing the "Deer Song" track at the moment, if he deliberately does it when he is playing the music, he can use the bonus effect of the chimes to temporarily change the listeners who are not well cultivated into the elk and wine bottle in the music, and control or defeat them.
However, if you fail to integrate your own perception of Tao and virtue when playing, it will be difficult to get the bonus effect of chimes, and you can only play the effect of ordinary musical instruments with better materials.
After trying to strike the chime a few times, Zhao Qing thought in his heart: if he specializes in soul flaws
What is the result of the "Breaking the Heart Sword" integrated into it? After a brief exchange, she put away the bronze chimes and asked a few people about the contents of the mural.
Under Ouyeel's investigation, this mural did not find anything special except for its age and suspected to have a history of three or four thousand years, and it seemed to be just a product of the worship of giants in the south of the Yue Kingdom.
The area where the Yue Kingdom is located, before the Xia Dynasty, was actually the residence of the Fangfeng giants. After Dayu killed the head of the Fangfeng clan, the Fangfeng clan gradually declined and scattered in all directions, leaving various legends in the surrounding areas of the Yue Kingdom.
Therefore, it is not surprising that images of giants are actually relatively common on ancient murals.
…… The crowd collected and counted the damaged items around them, and placed them on the Ge ship, which was docked on the edge of the wreckage of the Lanfeng Pavilion and had not suffered much damage.
Then the rudder of the ship was steered by Wen Gao, who had traveled the world and had traveled all the world, and the power was transmitted, so that the whole ship trembled slightly, and went backwards, bypassing the area of the ruined attic, and following the course of the underground waterway, in the same direction as when they came.
I had already learned the general situation of this place from the guests invited by Gao Yang, and after the exchange and field investigation, the group naturally figured out the correct way to leave here.
After entering the cabin inside the ship, the ventilation channel inside and outside was sealed, and several valves blocking the flow of water passed through, and with the closing of the last valve, the whole ship seemed to become a hollow submarine, floating up at great speed in the deep water.
After passing through a body of water that was several miles deep, the ship was suddenly thrown out of the water, and then fell heavily, splashing more than ten feet of water.
Jing opened the sealed cabin and came outside, Zhao Qing soon discovered that the water area where the Ge ship was located was actually the internal manor that he had seen earlier in the Stomach Clan's Merchant Workshop, one of which was a large pond covering an area of more than ten hectares.
Standing on the deck of the ship, looking towards the entrance of the merchant shop, she saw an army that was somewhat similar to what she had seen in Wushu Xiaoyi at the beginning, with a neat march and a consistent momentum, quickly pouring in, guarding more than a dozen internal and external passages of the mall.
These elite soldiers do not belong to the secret guards of the Yue Kingdom such as the Jiange Battalion and the Broken Jade Battalion, but the resident soldiers of the King of Yue in Huiji City
The "Gentleman's Army", the whole army has officers of the fourth class and above, well-equipped, and trains all year round.
so-called
"Junzi", which means the son of a scholar and nobleman. And this one
The soldiers of the "Gentlemen's Army" can be called
The "gentleman" is also extraordinary in terms of status, and is highly valued, so he is loyal to Gou Jian, and is one of the main sources of soldiers in the Jiange battalion.
…… Two hundred miles away, three hundred zhang underground in Huiji City, a vast room with a map of Kyushu printed on all sides.
Xin Wenzi, who was dressed in black and had white eyebrows and a wide forehead, casually put down the bamboo slip that had just been carved and placed it on the bookshelf next to him.
Sun Di, who had been trapped here for more than a month, looked up helplessly at the thick stone slab above his head, which was empty, but he had already reached it
Under the exploration of the realm of the "Upper Six Qi", there are dense and unpredictable rules of heaven and earth. There are six degrees of yin and yang: the sky is the rope, the earth is the standard, spring is the spring rule, summer is the balance, autumn is the moment, and winter is the right.
Arrived
In the realm of "Upper Six Qi", he began to practice the Xuanhuang Qi of Heaven and Earth and the Qi of the Sun and the Moon of the Four Seasons, and came into contact with the way of building heaven and earth
"Yardstick"
"Rules"
"Weigh up" to sublimate
"The Outline of All Things", the avenue that nourishes itself. Although Xin Wenzi's realm is unfathomable, Taoism has reached incredible
The realm of "Dao Ying Streamer", but with the first entry of Sun Enemy
After a long period of exploration and research, the cultivation of the "Upper Six Qi" realm can barely see some content, pass the time, and chat to entertain yourself.
"This time, Bi Zhen and Qin Yi are a little self-conscious." Suddenly, Xin Wenzi turned around and glanced at him, and said, "Enemy Sun, do you know anything about the secret organization that King Cheng ordered wanted in his later years?" ”
"Suspected of wanting to overthrow the 'Void Dao' of the Zhou royal family?" For this gentle and ordinary old man on the outside, Sun Di was extremely jealous in his heart, hesitated for a while, and replied: "Wait until Zhou Gong mysteriously disappears before he dares to come out, most of them are the remnants of Wu Geng's old department, right?" ”
"For so many years, I haven't seen them make any big deals, and it's probably just a small organization. After thousands of years, with the rise of all countries in the world, even if this organization dies and disappears, it is not a big deal. "Hm
"Over the past few years, you have completely relied on Wu Zixu's meticulous planning to act." Xin Wenzi smiled and whispered to himself: "Who would have thought that even a top master of the Jin State Office in the past would have invested in this secret organization, and he was trying to cooperate with me with similar ideas as you before. ”
"The supreme master of the Jin State Office? This little-known 'Void Dao' can still recruit a character of this kind of background? Sun Di's heart shook slightly, and then he felt that this statement was just nonsense.
After all, since the Duke of Jin Qing exterminated the last two public families of the Qi family and the Yang Tongue clan under the instigation of Liuqing, and Qi Ying and Yang Tongue ate me to death, the Jin Kingdom has been completely
In the situation of "Liuqingjiang, the office is inferior", where is there still the top master in the mouth of the other party? In fact, after Jin Pinggong, Jin Zhaogong, Jin Qinggong, and this generation of Jin Hou Wu, there are only
The cultivation realm of the "Middle Six Qi" is not strong enough to grasp the power of the Jin Kingdom, and it can only be regarded as barely maintaining the prestige of the monarch.
Speaking of which, Uncle Wu and his father, the two peerless masters who have initially surpassed the Upper Six Qi Realm, will their prestige and reputation in the territory of Wu State also somewhat overwhelm Fu Cha, the King of Wu who has not yet broken through the Upper Six Qi Realm?
Thinking of this, Sun Di was suddenly shocked in his heart, and vaguely understood the reason why Wu Zixu often chatted with him about the affairs of Qi State.
"No, Mr. Ji Ran, even if the 'Void Dao' really has a master from the Jin State Office, after all, you are studying under Lao Tzu, who is hostile to the Jin Kingdom, how could the other party have the idea of cooperation?" He thought about it for a while, and felt more and more unreasonable, and continued to ask.
I don't know, that
"Although Xin Wenzi was born in the Song Dynasty, his ancestors were actually fallen nobles who fled from the Jin Kingdom to the Song Kingdom", is it indeed true?
"Although I am also after the Jin State Office, I have been extremely disappointed in the chaos of the Jin State long before the rebellion of the Zhou Chamber Shan Mu Gong. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone far to Chu and told King Chuping, who had just established himself, about the way to govern the country. Xin Wenzi plainly told the fact that he was from the Jin Kingdom, and casually told another secret that no one knew.
Sun Di never expected that as early as two hundred years ago, Wu Hao was still serving as the crown prince of Chu, and when Wu Zixu was shining after joining Wu, Wenzi had already become the guest of honor of King Chuping.
Now it seems that the information that the other party knows for himself is probably just an insignificant corner in Wenzi's magnificent experience.
