CHAPTER XXXIII

Everyone was shocked, and Yue Xian said, "How come I have never seen this sheet music?"

Master Ji said: "The young master naturally hasn't seen it. This was discovered a few years ago when the fourth lady was tidying up the second master's study, she knew that the second master did not understand the rhythm, the whole village, only the young master and the eldest lady played the piano, so she asked the eldest lady, but it was not the eldest lady's. At that time, the young master and Aemon were not at home, so they asked Xiaotong, and Xiaotong also said that it was not the young master. I asked all over the villa, but I didn't know whose it was, and then no one cared. Before coming to Beijing this time, the second wife instructed us to bring some old books and musical instruments that we didn't need in the village, and dispose of them as gifts, and sell them. This sheet music should have been sold to Jingguxuan along with some other old books at that time. ”

After listening to Master Ji, everyone was amazed, and they didn't want to go around in a big circle, and the problem actually turned back to themselves. It's just that since the origin of this sheet music has not been found before, it may not be so easy to check it now. Yue Xian had no choice but to say to the king of Beining: "Brother, this piano score is temporarily kept by the younger brother, it involves some things, and the younger brother must check it clearly." ”

King Beining said: "It was given to you, and it is naturally up to you to decide what to do with it." ”

Saying that, everyone was about to say goodbye and go back to their homes, and the king of Beining called Yue Xian again: "Brother Xian, Brother Ping invited me to his mansion for a banquet tomorrow, I think the head of the Haizhu Dao must also be there, are you interested in going with you?"

Yue Xian said: "Okay, we will also know this old way." ”

King Beining said: "It's better to go to my house tonight to rest, you and my brother haven't talked all night for a long time, and let Fang Zhu and Yimeng talk about it well." ”

Yue Xian smiled and said, "Okay!" Yue Xian handed over the piano score to Master Ji and told him to take it back to the house and hand it over to Xiaotong, and be sure to keep it carefully.

This night, Yue Xian and the King of Beining talked about the past a lot, until the sky was slightly bright, and the two closed their eyes and slept for a while. After breakfast, Yue Xian ordered Yimeng to go back to the palace first, and he went to the Nanping palace with the king of Beining.

On the way, the king of Bac Ninh said: "Brother Ping has loved the art of Huang Lao since he was fifteen years old, and he has become attached to Taoist priests. On weekdays, I don't have much contact with the ministers of the court, but occasionally they invite me to the mansion to listen to me talk about what I have seen and heard, in fact, I just want to help me get to know some Taoist priests. Brother Ping is just a casual prince like me, but in recent years, somehow, the eldest brother has also become interested in these, and he also discussed the art of immortality with Brother Ping. Hey, if there is really a magic of immortality in this world, what good is it? I am immortal, but my beloved relatives and friends are leaving one by one, leaving me alone in the world. Unless there is a way for everyone to live forever. ”

Yue Xian said: "Even if everyone is immortal, don't say anything else, just say that the students who study hard in this world will never have a bright day." ”

The King of Beining was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Exactly." If they want to get ahead, they have to hope that those who are 'old and immortal' will die early to make room, but they are afraid that those who are impatient will have to do something out of the ordinary. The two laughed for a while, so unhappy, only to feel that the so-called "immortality" in this world is just a trick of some unscrupulous people to seek wealth and fame.

The two talked and laughed all the way, and unconsciously walked to the front of the Nanping Palace, and the doorman saw that it was the arrival of the King of Beining, and said: "King Ning Chitose, my prince has been waiting for you for a long time." With that, he hurriedly welcomed the king of Bac Ninh in. The King of Bac Ninh whispered in Yue Xian's ear, "Don't be surprised for a while. Yue Xian was stunned for a moment, thinking that there was something strange about it? When he stepped into the mansion gate, Yue Xian understood the meaning of the words of the king of Beining, and saw that the courtyard was full of Taoist priests, and there were one or two hundred people, all of whom were sitting cross-legged on the ground. In the middle of the courtyard sat a thin man in a black robe, with his eyes closed and his hands clasped between his abdomen.

Yue Xian recognized that person was the king of Nanping, and there was another crane with black robes, walking back and forth around the king of Nanping, and the dust in his hand was constantly swaying, it was the head of the sea bamboo road. Yue Xian asked quietly: "What is this?" King Beining shook his head: "I don't know what method is being done." ”

The two of them were inconvenient to make a sound, so they were led by the doorman into the study, and a small servant brought up two bowls of tea, put them on the table and went out, leaving only Yue Xian and the king of Bac Ninh in the room. Yue Xian said with a smile: "This Prince Ping is really weird. ”

King Beining said: "I don't know whether to do the immortal method or the Dao ascending immortal method." ”

At this time, a female voice came from behind the screen: "Two big men talk about other people's strengths behind their backs, so don't be ashamed!"

The two of them were stunned when they heard this, and thought at the same time in their hearts: "Oh, it's not good! This was heard by his family and reached the ears of King Ping, which is really not good." ”

The king of Bac Ninh thinks that I am the younger brother of King Ping after all, and I need to take this matter down. Then he said: "I just took the liberty of speaking out, and I begged to atone for my sins." I don't know what to call the girl and Brother Peace?"

A voice came from behind the screen: "I don't know the old man, and the old man doesn't know me." ”

The two were stunned again, and glanced at each other, Yue Xian attached himself to the ear of the king of Bac Ninh and said, "The sound is a little familiar. The two stood up together and walked behind the screen, only to see a woman sitting on a bookcase, holding a book in her left hand and a snack on the table in her right hand. Looking at the woman's appearance again, the two said in unison: "Is it you?" It turned out that this person was the woman she met in Jinggufang yesterday.

Yue Xian gave a salute: "Dare to ask the girl's name?"

"Why do I tell you my name?" the woman did not look up when she answered, as she had done yesterday, but focused on the book in her hand. Yue Xian and the King of Bac Ninh slowly moved their bodies and leaned to the sides respectively, blocking the woman's way. At this time, both of them thought that they didn't seem to be from King Ping's mansion when they heard her words, but they were afraid that they had sneaked in again, so they couldn't tell her to run away again.

Although the woman's eyes never left the book, she had already discovered Yue Xian's intentions, but there was no nervousness on her face, and she said, "You two can't stop me, go back and sit down!" ”

Yue Xian and the King of Bac Ninh glanced at each other, and they both thought that they were so despised by a little girl. But it was inappropriate for two big men to surround a girl after all, and the two had to smile awkwardly. The king of Bac Ninh walked to another chair and sat down, his eyes scanning the books on the shelves, but he was always watching the woman, afraid that she would make any changes.

Yue Xian walked to the opposite side of the woman, saw that she was reading the "Chongxu True Scripture", and thought that this must be the book of the king of Nanping. It's just that this woman has such courage, she must not be an ordinary person, but why does she always go to other people's houses to "steal" books to read?

The woman didn't care about the two people beside her, she just looked at the book intently, and put a piece of snack in her mouth from time to time.

Yue Xian finally couldn't help but ask, "Girl......"

The woman raised her head, her eyebrows were half angry and half smiling: "If I meet you once a day, I won't be able to read this book." ”
