musicians of old

"The Order of the Holy Wound is indeed an organization that was active among the natives of the Southern Continent."

"In the early days of the Commonwealth, they were declared as heresies by the Fanghui Temple and announced that they had been effectively eliminated, but in fact, their actions were very secretive and low-key, all the way to the gold of the Bologna school where I used to live. years, and the last intermittent traces of activity remain."

"Compared to organizations like the Esoteric Sect of Longevity, most of them just instigate believers to dig holes in their own or other people's brains. Although some of them are crazy and occasionally die a few, they are not that extreme after all, not as dead as the Esoteric Eternal Sect. "

On the platform of the church, Joan walked slowly around Fanning while recalling.

"They worship 'Mother Pupil', a god of unknown origin, and some congregants believe that he is the god of quality, but there is no strong evidence of secret history. He is the embodiment of wounds and insight, and wounds are in the will of the world. It is synonymous with the door, so he is considered to have considerable authority to 'guard the door', and wounds create changes, which are also related to things such as pain and blood. From these aspects, he should be in charge of the 'key' and the 'key'. Chi' two phases..."

Therefore, whether it is the Fanghui Temple of the Orthodox Church in the Southern Continent, or the two secret organizations, the Pleasure Listening Meeting and the Holy Wound Church, the Lord of Witness they enshrine involves the "Chi" phase?

Fanning digested these secret knowledge, he found that the world is too vast, the history is too complicated, there are always hidden organizations or witnesses that he doesn't know very well, and it may even be difficult to exhaust in his lifetime.

"What is the dream of the 'cracking field' like? Do you remember some related scenes?" He asked.

Joan once mentioned the experience of mistakenly entering this secret realm related to "Mother Pupil". It was a terrible feeling, and it was usually not necessary for her to recall it, but now she must try her best to dig out all possible information.

"It was a near-death experience that lasted for several years. The body and consciousness were torn apart, and after waking up by chance, the wounds that did not exist all over the body were in severe pain. When the thinking was slightly complicated, the brain was like a knife. I started to record the dream for the first time... What I can describe now is that there are bright and sharp things all over there, which may be plant-like or wire vines, they are constantly rotating, interlacing, and grinding, and then, there Under the surface, there are many well-like things."

"Well?" This made Fanning a little puzzled.

"One of the most common totems of the Holy Wound Church is the 'well'." Joan said, "The well language of the aborigines in the southern continent is the ancient language they communicate with the 'Mother Pupil'. Invoke the greatest divine power... The existence of the well destroys the integrity of the surface, so in a sense, the well, the wound and the door are three in one..."

While pondering these meanings, Fan Ning remembered that in the third origin story of Poet Fang Hui, a character mentioned was a priestess "born in a well and a wound".

Maybe the priestess here is the metaphor of "Mother Pupil", and...

"Does drilling a hole in an otherwise intact skull also destroy the integrity of the skull?"

"This is really a typical wound." Fanning's words also awakened Joan.

Perhaps, the folklore that the Holy Wounds are keen on drilling holes in their own or believers' skulls is an important link in their tribute totem "well".

If there are a small number of people who have indeed greatly increased their inspiration through this method, and even obtained the ability to "call spirits through the gods", perhaps these people are regarded as those who have been promoted to know the secrets of the "Tumor Mother".

"What's interesting is that the Order of the Holy Wound objectively made a contribution to the cause of human art." Joan's next words made Fan Ning even more confused.

"Oh?"

"They were good at making instruments."

"Piano?" Fanning was puzzled.

"Specifically refers to musical instruments that mainly have holes in wood or metal." Joan shook her head.

"Like a violin? Or a guitar?"

"Well, what even many great musicians don't know is that there are many world-famous antique violins today, such as the 'Ferdinando' of the violin, the 'Ruby' of Saul, the 'Mountain Pine' of the Gonelli, and the 'Mountain Pine' of the classical guitar. Illyrian', 'Feasting Beast', well, there are actually flutes, such as the 'Star Trail' that has been lost for a long time in the Western Continent... The ancestors of the violin-making families behind them all had thousands of connections with this secret organization. Inextricably linked...."

"These antique musical instruments not only allow the master to stand taller, but they are also a high-level extraordinary item, which contains extremely secret and amazing invisible power. If I can have the 'star track' one day, I will definitely be in the future." He is the best flutist in the world." Joan's original tone was always calm and cool, but when she said this, she finally revealed a trace of girlish yearning.

"..." Fanning's eyes widened when he heard the connection between these familiar names of handed down musical instruments and unfamiliar names of secret organizations.

Regarding the issue of famous pianos or antique musical instruments, he had talked with Xilan a little bit before, but they didn't talk much.

The main problem is that this is far from what I can afford financially at that time. Later, even with the Turner Art Hall, the net worth was not enough. It was not until after the New Year this year that the profitability skyrocketed again, and this problem became more realistic. , but then I put all my body and mind on the "Second Symphony", until the sudden change on the premiere day, there was no more to follow.

What is the concept of the price of these violins?

First use the common luxury and noble musical instruments as a base: the price of Versa harp from "Diva" to "Golden Apollonia" is between 1000-4000 pounds, and the "Boethius" nine-foot piano The price of the customized model is between 3000-10000 pounds, which is already the specification of a professional concert hall, and it is an astronomical figure for a lifetime for an ordinary family.

And the "Illyrian" six-string instrument used by the classical guitarist Ton in the southern continent in the last century, after it was lost, the reward in the art world today is 45 pounds!Another classical guitar, the "Banquet Beast", enshrined in the Temple of Fanghui, is considered to be "higher in value than the overall building of the church itself". The market value of "Mountain Pine" belonging to the Qin family is 60 pounds! !
A violin master like Meyerbel is already quite rich from a secular point of view, but it is impossible for him to afford the 'mountain pine'. In fact, even a single noble or factory owner class can't afford it. Seventy percent of the world's The famous pianos that are passed on are all led by the royal family, schools, churches or musicians associations, and negotiated with the masters on the support and use plans. A large force can only connect with one or two masters, and the maintenance and insurance involved The cost is a huge expense.

Therefore, in a sense, the piano has raised the mid-to-high digits of the price of musical instruments, but the ceiling is really blown up by violins and other instruments.

"I suddenly feel that the connection between the two is absurd and reasonable." Fan Ning said after pondering for a long time, "You just said that the teachings related to the 'Mother Pupil' hold that the well, the wound and the door are to some extent One, then the Church of the Holy Wound’s drilling wells on the earth, holes in the skull, and holes in the wood of musical instruments may be essentially the same salute procedure, and they are all links to activate mystic factors?”

"So when this secret organization went silent, no such antique famous piano was born again." Joan lowered her head and stroked her flute.

"Then this thing too?..." Fan Ning raised his arm involuntarily, and he was holding the extraordinary string with purple streamer.

"It was brought out by me in the 'cracking field' with the help of purple bean cake's subconscious mind. I realized and activated its function after I regained consciousness. It's just that whether it has a connection with a certain famous piano is unclear. Got it..."

"Have you been using it?" Joan asked casually.

Fanning let out a "huh":
"I attached it to a guitar as a D string."

"What kind of guitar?"

"...a normal guitar."

Joan fiddled with her flute again: "Actually, the most expensive brands of various musical instruments today are well-inherited. They all come from the real descendants of those violin-making families. worthy of a slight extraordinary makeover..."

"But even though today's industrial technology is so advanced, they can't surpass their ancestors. The most peak musical instruments are those born two or three hundred years ago. After the crisis of competing for fruits is completely resolved, I will go to the Western Continent The activity, in addition to further investigation of life experience, is to see if we can find the lost flute 'Star Trail'..."

"What's wrong with your expression?" While talking, she suddenly noticed that Fanning's expression was a bit lonely.

"Is it a pity that there is no famous piano born today?"

"Still regretting that your favorite piano doesn't have such a wonder?"

"This is not the same thing. The modern piano is a new thing. Its birth history is less than 200 years old. It has no intersection with the Holy Wound Church. If you have a chance, you can really go to the Western Continent and see the harpsichord and wedge. Famous clavichords such as the mallet, you can also try the pipe organ that has been passed down for thousands of years in the Church of the Sun in San Porto. Although they are difficult to perform romantic works, they can convey the divinity of religious music in the Middle Ages. Shown perfectly."

Fan Ning looked at the empty bench under the stage: "It suddenly occurred to me that I promised Sheeran before that I would help her find a favorite antique violin when conditions permit."

The implication is that if the Turner Art Hall can continue to grow in its own hands, it may be able to meet the conditions next year or so, but if it is not hosted by itself, this is likely to end without a problem "year after year". Sheeran himself It's also impossible to empty out all the cash flow and get yourself an antique violin.

Joan was silent for a while and said: "The nature of such a thing is close to 'seeking the stars and the moon', and she will not treat it as an ordinary thing and wait for you to fulfill it."

"It's something else you promised her. You can do it again, you can think about it..." She regretted it halfway through.

I don't know why my brain suddenly twitched.

Who told themselves what and when?How can this be explained?
Moreover, it is still in such a wandering situation.

Fan Ning stared at the direction of the organ band that he had just come down, and after a while, he asked slowly:
"Any good ideas to help trace back to who or where Viern had the trepanation?"

As expected, he still has a big heart... Joan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "As far as surgery is concerned, it is natural to investigate the relevant clues of the Church of the Holy Wound, such as the ruins of the 'well', or to find out where the 'surgery is performed. It's better'... However, the token of this matter is the 'gel fetal membrane', which may also involve the Fanghui Temple or the Joyful Listening Meeting. Relevant, itself is also a manifestation of the law of entanglement in the secret history."

Under her touch, a ray of divinity stronger than before was attached to the extraordinary strings, and its purple streamer had even begun to leave traces of infection in the air.

"Just be more careful."

Fan Ning nodded slightly after taking the strings: "Take a look."

At the end of the second conversation, two stacks of booklets bound with the Leather of the End emerged in his hands, with a separate note in between.

"You always write things so fast, it's really hard for others to catch up with you." Joan took it and started flipping through it, "This is the two vocal suites "The Beautiful Mill Girl" and "The Poet's Love" you mentioned last time. "?"

"The Beautiful Mill Girl" is the same work as "Winter Journey" by Schubert. The text also comes from the long poem of the same name by the poet Müller. It is composed of 20 relatively independent and integrated art songs. The whole poem is also It tells a sad story of "love in the court":
A youth full of vigor and fantasy is hired as a miller while wandering, and falls in love with the miller's daughter.However, his loyalty did not really touch the heart of the miller's daughter, but she fell in love with a hunter instead. The misfortune of losing love caused the young miller to suffer extreme suffering and sorrow, and finally threw himself into the clear river to sleep forever .

The "Poet's Love" written by another romantic master, Robert Schumann, has a different tone. In that year, he and Clara, who had been in love for many years, overcame many obstacles and finally entered the palace of marriage. Selected 16 poems of the same name by Heine to compose this set of art songs, which will be passed down to the world as his happy, warm and deep love diary.

This is exactly part of Fanning's plan for the Famous Singer Finals. First let Miss Nightingale use the "Winter Journey" record to build momentum, then use "Song of Ruckert" to open the scene, and finally use "The Beautiful Mill Girl" and "The Poet" The two sets of "Love" are also works that stand at the top of the history of vocal music art in previous lives, allowing the audience and judges to listen to it once and for all.

And, go through a process of "from pain to sweetness" to satisfy the general public's imagination of the happiness that love should have.

"So, I need to trouble you to create some 'past impressions' of these two works in the Western Continent." Fan Ning said, "Of course, it is not the breadth of the public level, but the private emotional experience. In addition to music, There is no need to use too much force on the other details of getting along with each other, as long as this can be done, it is enough to convince the Special Patrol Office during the investigation."

"It's not difficult to use some dreams or spiritual hints to implant some memories that don't have a long timeline, and most of them are limited to music." Joan closed the music book and slowly looked at Fan Ning on the separate note The "arrangement" message left behind immediately turned into a strange expression——

"Did you get too many 'ex-girlfriends' too!?"
