Chapter 686 The Master's Test

Chapter 370 The Third Test of the Master

Wang Sheng was startled, Master Lu's blunt name was clearly an attempt to spoil the situation!However, there was nothing unexpected about Tie Lao and the others next to him, and they were all laughing and joking, which seemed normal.

"I knew it was you!" The courtyard was a taller fence, Master Lu just yelled, and an old man with white beard and hair came out of the room inside, and when he saw Master Lu and others, he snorted coldly.

However, his attitude was very cold, but he didn't stop moving. He walked over quickly and opened the door without saying a word. He turned around and walked back.

Sure enough, the character is weird enough.Thinking in his heart, Wang Sheng honestly followed several great masters into the courtyard.

The yard is very distinctive. The open space in front of it is not big, about half an acre of land. There are several big trees in the yard with big tree crowns, which just shade the yard very cool.There is a large piece of land behind, which is full of plants, with pillars, and more than a dozen thick trees that cannot be named.

There were two or three tables in the yard, and the old men were very self-conscious, they didn't go into Master Yu's room, and sat down beside those tables on their own initiative.Tie Lao knocked on the small wooden table impatiently: "Boy, bring out the food and wine, hurry up!"

Wang Sheng hurriedly prepared the food and wine, and the old men ate and drank around the table, ignoring the owner's house, as if this was their own courtyard.

Master Yu went into the house and came out with a pipa in his hand.He asked Wang Sheng, "Boy, do you know the rhythm?"

Wang Sheng shook his head. He has heard many tunes, including those that exist in this world and those that do not. But this does not mean that Wang Sheng understands the rhythm.

"Dare to order musical instruments without knowing the rhythm?" Master Yu frowned directly.But seeing Master Lu Tie Lao and others over there completely ignoring this end, eating and drinking on their own, they didn't say much.

Those great masters were all acquaintances, so Master Yu didn't even need to ask who wanted to order the musical instrument, it must be Wang Sheng, whom he had never seen before.

"Then you know musical instruments?" Master Yu asked again.

Wang Sheng still shook his head.Wang Sheng can't afford to understand this word. It's still the same sentence. He has heard it, seen it, and never tried it, so he dare not understand it.

"Dare to order musical instruments without knowing it?" Master Yu frowned again.

Wang Sheng didn't know how to answer the question. Could it be that he just said that he wanted to make a musical instrument that didn't exist in the world?

"Then listen to it, how about this piece?" Master Yu sat down on the more comfortable wooden stool at the door, erected the pipa, and was ready to play.

Seeing that Master Yu was about to play, several great masters stopped making noise and waited quietly.They have known Master Yu for many years. Although they don't like it, they also know that when Master Yu plays, it is very annoying for others to make other sounds. They have learned the rules for many years, and they will not take the initiative to offend.

What else can Wang Sheng say?Sitting there obediently, ready to listen to Master Yu's performance.

Ding dong, Master Yu turned his fingers, and the Qingyue pipa sounded.A tune with beautiful tunes and elegant meaning flowed out from Master Yu's fingers.

From the sound, Wang Sheng frowned after hearing a few syllables.But I still listened patiently and honestly until the end.

The piece was not long. After 2 minutes, Master Yu stopped and asked Wang Sheng, "How is this piece?"

"It's hard to say the tune." Wansheng replied honestly, "But one of the strings on your pipa seems a little too tight."

Puchi, among the several great masters who were listening quietly, one of them laughed on the spot.

The old man Yu often uses some tests to make people who come to ask for musical instruments retreat. This is one of the methods, and people who are not really obsessed with rhythm or musical instruments will not be able to hear it.And every time he came to the door, he used different instruments, and no one knew which one he would use to make things difficult, so no one told Wang Sheng.

But Wang Sheng said it so firmly, it shows that Wang Sheng really heard it, and the one who made a fool of himself should be old man Yu.Those few people who had been struggling with the old man's habit laughed out loud immediately.

Master Yu glared at Wang Sheng, then glanced at the snickering old men, curled his lips, supported the pipa, and began to slightly rotate a peg on it.He just moved a little bit, flicked it two or three times, and then asked Wang Sheng with a cold face, "How about this?"

"It's still a little tight." Wang Sheng's ears immediately heard a little bit of abnormality from the two or three plucks, and he pointed it out honestly.

This time, Master Yu gave Wang Sheng a good look, continued to fine-tune it, and plucked it two or three times.This time it does not mean that the master asked, Wang Sheng has already nodded his head actively.

Master Yu raised the pipa and started playing again.It's still the same piece of music just now, and it's still the same tone just now. Now it sounds much more natural.

Two minutes later, a piece of music was played again, and Master Yu asked again: "How is this time?"

Not only Master Yu, but also Master Lu and others looked at Wang Sheng to see what words he could say that would make the old man nod.If Wang Sheng can't pass this level, I'm afraid that if he wants to persuade the old man, they will have to put pressure together.

"It's a little better than before." After Wang Sheng closed his eyes and pondered for a while, he said with some uncertainty: "But I still feel that there is something wrong."

"Oh?" Master Yu was not angry, but asked calmly: "Where is the problem? Is it my technique? Or the song itself?"

"It has nothing to do with the technique." Wang Sheng thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's still a problem with the pipa itself."

"Just adjusted according to your request." Master Yu said with some dissatisfaction: "How else to adjust? Tell me!"

Wang Sheng recollected carefully what was wrong just now, looked at the pipa, finally stretched out his hand, pointed to a certain position on the pipa's belly and said with some uncertainty: "Is there a thin layer of something stuck on it?" ?”

Master Yu stared at Wang Sheng coldly for a long time, and gradually his eyes softened.In the eyes of everyone, Master Yu reached out and unscrewed all the pegs of the pipa, removed the strings, then carefully disassembled the back of the pipa, and turned it over to face everyone.

On the back of the part Wang Sheng pointed at, inside the pipa, there is indeed a thin round white piece. I don't know what kind of material it is, but it is stuck tightly on it.Master Yu stretched out his hand and grabbed the small disc, with a smile on his face.

"Didn't you say you don't understand musical instruments?" Master Yu asked with a smile on his face, "Then how did you hear that there is something here?"
