"Huang Jingyang, you have to make preparations for this period of time, you play the piano so well, naturally you want to represent our class to participate in the school's National Day performance. There's no one better in our class than you. "Li Wan came to me when she was out of school.

"Don't have to participate in the class screening?" I asked curiously.

"No, I don't. What kind of screening is your level, if you can't participate in the school performance, it will be unfair. Li Wan said.

"Oh well. I nodded.

"But you still have to participate in the school's screening. So, you better prepare in advance. Can you play a slightly longer tune? The song you played in the morning was all at once. We all don't find it enjoyable. Li Wan stood next to me, constantly turning the ballpoint pen in her hand.

"Then I'll go back and practice again. I haven't been in contact with the guqin for a long time, and many of the repertoire have not been practiced yet. This morning I played the simplest piece of music for practicing my technique. Let's get back and practice a little more difficult tune. "The legacy of that grandmaster violinist contains very classic repertoire that he has practiced throughout his life. Among them were very classic pieces of the time, as well as pieces composed by the luthier himself.

Li Wan smiled gracefully, "Then I'm looking forward to your next performance." ”

Li Wan may have felt that she was acting too exaggerated, and her face turned red, like a ripe red apple. Shamefully walked away.

I think it's strange that this girl is so easy to be shy. Aren't the girls in the city bolder than the girls in our Octagon Village?

Because my performance is becoming more and more prominent, both stylistic and stylistic, I have all the two aspects that can stand out the most. Naturally, he suddenly became the kindest focus of the class. It's completely different from elementary and junior high school. At that time, I tried everything I could to hide myself in class. Like an invisible man. But now, I'm standing out by mistake. I didn't force it. Everything just goes with the flow. On the contrary, my heart is more open, and my previous state of mind is completely different.

But this seems to be a little different from what I have learned about the path of cultivation before? Daoist Zhao deliberately found a very remote Zhangren Mountain, just for meditation, as if the path of cultivation is to be quiet. But now that I have opened my mind and interacted with my classmates, I feel that the sky seems to be more open, and my Dao heart is more leisurely. What's going on here?

"Huang Jingyang, are you home?"

"Is your guqin really made by yourself?"

"Huang Jingyang, will you bring the guqin to school tomorrow?"

"Huang Jingyang. Where do you live?"

......

As I walked all the way back, my classmates kept greeting me. I will always explain patiently with them. The mood was also very pleasant, and as a cultivator, I actually enjoyed this feeling very much.

My sister can feel that I am very different from usual.

"Jingyang, what's the matter with you today, have you picked up the treasure?" said her sister.

"Not really. "I still have a smile on my face.

"You're in the limelight at school today, aren't you?

"Oh? I touched my forehead to see if I was sweating.

"No? Isn't it what you're doing touching your forehead? Are you afraid I'll see your forehead sweating? And don't always wipe the sweat on your pants, because it's hard to wash your clothes if your hands are greasy. "I can't escape my sister's eyes in my every move. My little secret is not guarded at all in front of my sister.

Looking at my newly made guqin, my sister was very curious. I played it casually a few times, and the crisp and melodious sound of the piano. It does sound very comfortable. It's not like the ordinary pianos on the market can compare.

"Come, play a song to my sister. Didn't you say that the school was about to have a selection process? My sister didn't know how to play the piano, and after playing it a few times, she was even more curious about how good the melody played by the guqin was.

Naturally, I wouldn't say no. The guqin is placed on the desk. The height is not very suitable. But now there are no better conditions, so I can only stand at the table and play.

As my hands dazzled with the strings, bursts of melodious sounds were transmitted. My sister looked surprised at first, obviously she didn't expect me to play so beautifully. Or rather, this guqin is so beautiful. She naturally knew that this guqin was made by me in a dream. But I didn't expect the sound of this guqin to be so pleasant. Immediately afterward, she was already intoxicated by the sound of the piano. Completely immersed in the illusion of the music production.

By the time my song was over, my sister was already in tears. I don't know what sad things the music made my sister think of. Different people have different fantasies in the same music. It's as if the immortals in everyone's mind are different from others. We cultivators are like this, different people have different understandings of the Tao, but different paths lead to the same end, and everyone takes different paths of monasticism, but in the end they get the same result. Therefore, don't pay too much attention to the form, but look at the final result.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" I asked, a little worried.

"It's okay, it's okay. It's your piano that sounds so beautiful. When did you even learn the guqin?" asked my sister puzzled. She knew everything about me too well, but this time it was a bit of a surprise. Of course, although she was surprised by the rapid progress of my calligraphy and painting in the past few days, she also felt natural. But she never saw me practice playing the guqin. Even this guqin has just been moved out of the space. I haven't had time to play at home yet. The first time I listened to it, I was able to play it so well. Although my sister doesn't know the guqin, she can hear that such beautiful music is definitely not something that can be learned at once.

"Remember this?" I took out the scroll, "Didn't you say that I was bidding too high for this bamboo slip? If nothing else, this bamboo slip is a priceless treasure in itself. In addition, this may be the real "Mountains and Flowing Water" piano score, which is naturally also a national treasure. There is another point that is even more precious, there is a wisp of Taoism on this bamboo slip. The musical achievements of the author of "Mountains and Flowing Water" have been passed down. ”

"Ahh

I nodded.

"No wonder. No wonder you were able to learn the guqin so quickly. Will you be able to become that kind of master luthier in the future?" asked my sister.

"It should work. I've got the inheritance of a grandmaster-level initiation pianist. "I lamented that if I hadn't been able to become a master pianist. That's too sorry for the inheritance I got.

"Can you play that "Mountains and Flowing Water"?" my sister was even more curious.

"Not yet. Not to mention the charm of "Alpine Flowing Water", even if it is a complete performance of "Alpine Flowing Water". I can't do it. I shook my head.

"Then come on, you have the opportunity to play the real "Mountains and Flowing Water" to my sister. My sister scratched my head.

A few days later, Mr. Wang Shipeng announced on the podium that the class calligraphy and painting competition had entered the next round.

"With the active participation of the students, the list of players who entered the second round of the competition has been announced. A total of two students from our class made it to the second round. The contestant who won the second round of the calligraphy group was Tan Liwen......"

Before Wang Shipeng's words fell, Tan Liwen had already turned around in a demonstrative manner, and demonstratively showed us a disdainful smile.

"Cut, why doesn't this guy have a long memory at all? Obviously, Teacher Wang said that there are two students who enter the second round, and students who are a hundred times weaker than Huang Jingyang can enter the second round of the competition, how can Huang Jingyang not be able to pass?" Wei Mochen said with a smile.

Really. Teacher Wang Shipeng continued, "Another student who entered the calligraphy group is Huang Jingyang. Huang Jingyang's performance this time was quite good, and he also passed the first round of screening in the Chinese painting group and successfully entered the next round. I hope that Huang Jingyang will make persistent efforts to achieve better results in the second round of the competition and win glory for the class. ”

All the students in the class applauded enthusiastically. Only Tan Liwen was embarrassed. Originally, he thought that he would win this time, but he didn't expect him to lose in a mess. Wang Shipeng's high evaluation of me shows that my passing score this time is much higher than his. In fact, at first he knew that my calligraphy level was higher than his, and this time. I've passed two of them. Tan Liwen's face became a little gloomy. In the past, he was always at the top of his class in junior high school, but after coming to the first class of high school, he behaved no matter how he behaved. How can he accept being always pressed by me?

Also, Huang Jingyang also has to prepare well to participate in the screening of the school's National Day show. Huang Jingyang is really versatile. All the students in the class should learn more from Huang Jingyang. Wang Shipeng said. By this time. My limelight has completely covered Tan Liwen.

The screening of the school was carried out in the afternoon, and I had already brought the guqin with me. This time, Mr. Wang Shipeng offered to keep my guqin in the teacher's office. This time. I also deliberately brought a special stand for the guqin, and the height of the shelf was higher than the formal one. The main thing is to be able to adapt to the general chair. I can't make a special stool and bring it here. In that case, there are too many things to bring.

Several of the students in our class participated in the screening in the afternoon, so most of the students in the class were not in a hurry to leave after school, and Wei Mochen and a few members of the basketball team were responsible for helping me move things.

"Huang Jingyang, don't worry, we are in charge of the guqin. You just have to go over it. You don't have to worry about these things. "Wei Mochen snatched the guqin from my hand. Then with a wave of my hand, I asked the rest of my classmates to help me carry the piano stand. The weight of my guqin is not a beat, but my stand is very strong and heavy. No, it's nothing to the basketball team that we train every day.

The school attaches great importance to this National Day performance, so the requirements for this screening are very strict. Those who fail to meet the requirements will be eliminated.

A few students in our class were selected and sent to the stage before they finished performing, and they were directly eliminated by the referee. It was very cruel, and it directly made those classmates cry. I also saw the teachers who were referees shaking their heads in disappointment. Obviously, I was very disappointed with the program we had chosen in our class. Or maybe they didn't have much hope for the freshmen in high school.

But when Wei Mochen moved my piano stand and guqin to the stage and brought me a stool to it, their eyes seemed to light up. When I walked on stage. I could hear them whispering to each other, and their voices couldn't escape mine.

"Teacher Cui. Is this a guqin?" asked a very beautiful female teacher to the male teacher next to her.

"It seems like yes. Not quite like that. It turned out to be a five-stringed piano. Very old piano. I don't know if it's the most primitive five-tone five-stringed piano?" said the male teacher surnamed Cui.

"You say, can this student make our eyes shine?" said the female teacher who had just spoken.

"Who knows? Today's kids learn a lot. That student could also play the piano. But there aren't many that are really high. Art is inherently the truth of the few. But now that thousands of troops have crossed the single-plank bridge, there is a great momentum to popularize piano and violin. If you don't have talent, but you have to force yourself to learn, it is naturally impossible to reach the top of the spire of this industry in the end. ”

"Let's go, let's hear first. ”

Before I sat down on the guqin, I pressed my hands on the strings, closed my eyes slightly, and listened attentively to the subtle vibrations of the guqin. When I press my hand, it makes a subtle sound. Like its heartbeat. I listened carefully. All of a sudden, he has already merged himself with the guqin.

By this time, my hands were off the strings, and I still hadn't opened my eyes, but my fingers were already plucking the strings.

The sound of the piano is like the sound of a valley stream, subtle and long, and this sound comes out. Several of the music teachers who served as judges were stunned as if they had been hit, this is something that they have been waiting for for a long time, but this time happiness came so unexpectedly. They were caught off guard all of a sudden.

Originally, I played a section with the expectation that they would stop me like they had done before. Because they were in a hurry to go through all the players so that they could go home early. But this time, I'm done with it. They didn't even stop. I can only go on.

They seemed to be intoxicated by the music, and one by one they pricked up their ears lest they miss a note.

I got into the groove too. Whether they shouted to stop or not, they kept playing. Wait until the end of the song. I just stopped. But the judges remained silent.

"Ladies and gentlemen. My repertoire has been played. "I had to remind the judges.

"Ah, this song has already been played?" Mr. Cui was a little stunned.

"Can I go down?" I saw that they hadn't said the result yet. He asked tentatively.

The female teacher who spoke before hurriedly said, "No, you can't go down yet." We haven't announced whether you've passed it yet. ”

"So, what about your opinions?" asked Mr. Cui. Several teachers had smiles on their faces.

Teacher Cui naturally understood what everyone meant, and said with a smile, "Our five judges have been passing, and your guqin performance has passed." They will perform at the National Day Parade. Please go back and prepare. ”

They didn't talk about the results just now, which made me a little nervous. I didn't expect that I passed directly.

The class jumped for joy. Originally, at the beginning, everyone still had great hopes for Tan Liwen's piano performance, after all, piano performance itself is a very lofty thing. Unexpectedly, he didn't have to play on stage for a while, and he was directly brushed down by those judges. In the end, all hope fell on me. Now that I've made the cut, everyone cheers like crazy.

From the beginning of today's screening, everyone already knows that the first-year high school students do not have a real level, and it is difficult to pass today's screening. Although my guqin is played very beautifully, I don't know what kind of level my guqin plays in front of professionals. Now, you can see that my guqin playing has been recognized by these judges.

I was just about to leave, but the teacher Cui beckoned to me, "This classmate, you wait a minute, we still want to ask you some questions." ”

I had to stop.

"Are you a guqin?" asked Mr. Cui.

"Yes. But this is the oldest ukulele for me. I said.

"I heard that. The tune you play also seems to be the oldest pentatonic composition. I've only heard of it before, but now I came across a track that can be arranged in pentatonic tones. And it can be performed so beautifully. Teacher Cui sighed.

"What's your name?" asked the beautiful female teacher.

After I told her my name, she then asked, "Who taught you your guqin skills?"

"No one teaches. I came from the snow of the ancient piano scores. My level of oracle bone inscriptions, golden inscriptions, and seal scripts is relatively high. Although those guqins are profound, I can still understand them. I said half true and half false.

"Genius. What a genius!" the beautiful teacher gave me a thumbs up.

"How many years have you been practicing the guqin?" asked Mr. Cui.

"Just recently, I used to want to play the piano. I can't afford it!" I said helplessly.

"No!" the judges said almost in unison.

I was surrounded by my classmates and left the auditorium of the attached high school, like a national hero. And Tan Liwen, who has always been bragging, left secretly. I don't know how he's going to go to school tomorrow.

My sister's work seems to be busy again all of a sudden.

"Jingyang, when I moved to the suburbs of Beijing recently, I found an ancient tomb group, where some important information appeared, and I have been invited to participate in this archaeological activity. It can be busy. If I don't come back, you'll go out and buy food yourself. "As soon as I got home, my sister told me a piece of news.

"What kind of ancient tomb, so exciting?" I was a little curious.

"I don't know yet. Some of the sources are said to be very old. The text is very weird. A lot of the information in it is oracle. The shape of the tomb is very large. But it doesn't quite look like the tomb of an emperor. All in all looks quirky. Very mysterious. After the automatic mystical cultivation of the true civilization, I haven't taken on such a big task for a long time. It's really a bit idle. "My sister is already a little itchy.

"You, you just can't be idle. It's okay for you to participate, but you'll have to wear the amulet I made for you, and preferably bring some more amulets with you. The situation of the tomb must be clarified before taking action. "I hurriedly took out a few Yuan Qi Talismans from my dantian that had been cultivated by me, and this newly made Yuan Qi Talisman was extremely powerful. It's best to protect yourself.

My sister smiled and took the amulet anyway. "Actually, you don't have to worry, I used to just help them sort out those written materials. In addition, they were assisted in the translation of some ancient texts. It will not follow them into the tomb. ”

"The inside of the tomb is full of dangers, and even if you don't enter it, it's not completely dangerous. Over there. You must stick to your principles and resolutely do not go into the tomb. I don't want anything to happen to you. "Every time my sister does something like this, she always encounters some danger.

My sister knows it too. Every time I am in danger, I always put me in danger. I couldn't help but hesitate a little again.

"Sister. The tomb contains oracle bone inscriptions, which are very strange. Most likely, it was arranged by an ancient witch. It's definitely dangerous inside. If you had gone in the past, if they had seen some ancient text in the tomb and they couldn't decipher it, would they have asked you to go down with them? In that case, you have no choice. "I still have lingering thoughts about some of my previous experiences.

"I think about it before I decide. My sister hesitated.

The reason why my sister hesitated was because this time the archaeology was not hosted by the Yan University Ancient Characters Research Center. My sister went over, but it was just the nature of helping. But my sister is naturally interested in those oracle bones.

Originally, if it weren't for my reminder, my sister might have gone to that archaeological base. But after being stopped by me, although my sister wanted to go a little, after thinking clearly, my sister put all the clothes in the suitcase back in the closet.

"You're not going to go, are you?" I was glad that my sister didn't go to archaeology.

"No, I won't. I haven't studied the mystical civilization thoroughly. There's a paper ready to be published soon, and there's nothing to do without joining in the excitement. "My sister actually really wants to go over and have a look.

"Then say no. Actually, I won't let you go this time, mainly because my premonition is very bad. "I told the truth.

"Ahh I was able to foresee what was going to happen. I happened to find out that something happened to the archaeological site that my sister wanted to go to, so I tried my best to oppose my sister to add it over.

Three days later, when I got home, my sister hugged me with a pale face.

"What's wrong?" I quickly asked.

"Something happened at the archaeological site, and after the archaeologists entered the tomb, they didn't come out. Even the makeshift tent that was stationed outside was completely destroyed by something. The people inside were also seriously injured. If I had passed, maybe I wouldn't have had the same good chance as him. My sister said with trepidation. (To be continued.) )
