golden escape

After knocking on this guqin for a while, Fang You still didn't find any hollow sound, which made him a little puzzled. Could it be that he guessed wrong, that it was not something hidden inside, but something used for repairs in the Song Dynasty. Material.

If there was really something hidden in it, then he would really be a little surprised at the sealing of this guqin.

Fang You did not give up, this Guqin is so weird, it must be something extraordinary, otherwise, an ordinary Guqin would not be so weird at all.

After activating the escape technique, Fang You stared at the guqin while continuing to tap on the body of the qin. The still blue aura flashed in front of his eyes was mixed with some yellow aura.

When some yellow aura is free, it merges with the cyan aura and turns into a greenish-yellow color like wheat that is about to mature, which looks very beautiful.

Fang You stared at these auras, and sighed a little. It must have gone through a lot of hardships for this Guqin to be passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period to the present. Several old men studied together.

Even if it is not a famous piano, this well-preserved Guqin from the Warring States Period alone is an extremely precious national treasure.

At this moment, Fang You's complexion moved slightly, his eyes were fixed on the blue aura emerging from the guqin, when he was concentrating on observing these beautiful auras just now, he suddenly felt that the color density of the blue aura was somewhat different.

It's not the intensity of the aura, but the concentration of the color. Fang You's eyes widened, and he carefully observed each wisp of aura that came out, and then compared them.

Suddenly, he noticed the difference. Sure enough, the color of the cyan aura was somewhat different. Some cyan auras were obviously darker in color, while some cyan auras were slightly lighter in color.

Fang You has never found this phenomenon in other antiques. Some of them are just different colors, not the same color with different concentrations.

Fang You looked at the guqin, but his face was eager to try it. As he observed the guqin, it became more and more strange. Before, there was yellow aura in it, and he couldn't find where it was stored. Before this problem was solved, the next problem was discovered by myself.

The difference in color represents the difference in age. The difference between two different colors is hundreds of years, and the difference in color density also represents the difference in time, but the time difference is not as big as the previous one.

These two kinds of cyan aura with different concentrations can't be found without careful observation, which is why Fang You didn't find it before.

Based on his estimation of the color density, the age difference between the two blue auras is no more than 100 years. Since this guqin was made in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, could it be repaired in that era?

Fang You shook his head, threw some messy thoughts out of his mind, and then began to observe the whole Guqin closely. He wanted to see where the blue auras of different colors came out from.

At this moment, Fang You didn't complain that he didn't get the wood escape technique, because it was out of his control. With the wood escape technique, he could easily discover the secrets in the guqin, but without the escape technique, all he could do was Only by working hard to discover the secrets, relying on all the means we have now.

Gradually, he discovered the different positions of the two auras. The lighter cyan aura comes out from the front of the qin. This front is not the entire upper part of the qin. If the qin is divided into three parts, then the light color is from the upper part. The freed ones, and the remaining dark blue air flow, are freed from the middle and lower parts.

Fang You looked at these two different auras and different positions, and fell into deep thought. Since this is the case, the only thing he is sure of now is that the surface of this guqin was only combined with the guqin long after it was made. Together.

If the surface of the qin is broken, it is natural to replace the entire upper part of the guqin. Why are there two different blue auras emerging from the upper part of the qin?

Moreover, Fang You discovered that those yellow auras appeared at the junction of these two kinds of cyan auras.

After thinking for a while, Fang You smiled slightly. In this way, his previous guess has gradually become certain. There must be something hidden inside, and judging by the thickness of the surface of this guqin, he can be sure that this It's not the true face of the guqin that he had determined before, perhaps, the true face of the guqin is hidden inside.

When he struck it just now, there was no hole at all. This made him very amazed at the sealing technology of the guqin. What made him a little puzzled was the yellow aura inside. Perhaps in the Song Dynasty, someone discovered the secret of this qin, and thus Putting in something from that era is the only understandable explanation.

However, all of this is just guesswork. Even if it is very certain before, the final result will not be confirmed until he discovers the secret of this guqin.

Fang You looked at the location where the two kinds of spiritual energy meet, and then slowly studied the possible mechanisms on the entire guqin.

In the meantime, he injected gray air into it, wanting to see if this Guqin, like the Shadow Bearing Sword, needs internal energy to move it.

In the end, there was no reaction, and there was no sound of any organ opening on the guqin. Fang You slowly closed his eyes, trying to focus his mind on the gray air current, and then entered the piano to watch, just as if he was looking inside Xie Shuyuan and Ye Yu. Sunny's body is the same.

However, his mind couldn't enter the guqin at all. Looking at the guqin, Fang You couldn't help but smile. In the past, even if he encountered some difficulties in the past, he could solve them quickly, and everything went smoothly afterwards, just like Chengying sword , but encountered a little trouble when opening the mechanism in the early stage, and then opened the Chengying Sword with the gray airflow.

But now this guqin really stumped him, and Fang You felt a surge of determination in his heart. He was not the kind of person who would give up when encountering a little difficulty. Over the years, he encountered many difficulties, even if he had Escape technique, also encountered a life-and-death crisis, but no matter how difficult it was, he never gave up.

Then, Fang You began to carefully observe every position of the Guqin. From the Chengying Sword, he clearly knew the magic of craftsmen in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, who were able to create mechanisms that were opened with true energy, and even when the true energy flowed in When , there will be blue light, which is already a wonderful workmanship.

When it comes to mechanism art, only the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were the most prosperous. At that time, there existed Lu Ban, who was called the ancestor by later craftsmen.

Lu Ban is one of the most outstanding inventors in China, and his contribution to ancient times is no less than Einstein in modern times.

Now, some of the tools used by craftsmen are all invented by Lu Ban. The first nominal lock in the world can be said to be invented by Lu Ban. Locks were created before, but the earliest locks were not at all. There is no mechanism, but it is made into the shape of a tiger and other ferocious animals to scare away thieves.

Luban, on the other hand, installed a mechanism on the lock so that it could only be opened with the corresponding key, thus replacing the human guard.

There are even historical records that Lu Ban also invented a wooden bird that can fly in the air. In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, it can be said that a hundred schools of thought contended and countless outstanding talents emerged.

One of them who is comparable to Luban is Mozi. Mozi is the founder of Mohism. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and the Pre-Qin Period, he created a set of theories with outstanding achievements in geometry, physics and optics.

Together with Confucianism, it was called Xianxue. Among the contending schools of thought at that time, Confucianism was the most influential existence, and it was called non-Confucianism and Mohism.

It can be said that when it comes to achievements, Lu Ban and Mozi are comparable, and both are the most outstanding craftsmen in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.

Just from the mechanism of Qin Shihuang's tomb and other ancient tombs, we can see the magic of ancient mechanism techniques.

When observing the Yueshan of this Guqin, he suddenly found some doubts. The Yueshan of the Guqin is the most important part of the Guqin, and it is also the highest position. hardest position.

However, Fang You found that the Yueshan could shake gently with a little force, but the shaking was not obvious, and the strength used was a little weaker, so the Yueshan made of hardwood would not move at all.

At the beginning, Mr. Wubu Siren used to auction the Song Dynasty guqin, which is the national book of Xiaodao. He could study it for a long time under the explanation of Mr. Chu. It is said to be the most stressed part of the entire piano body.

No matter how shaken the Yueshan Mountain on the Guqin of the Song Dynasty was, it would not move at all. If there was a slight shake, the entire sound of the qin would also change. Therefore, when playing the qin in ancient times, people only heard of people who broke the strings, but never heard of it. Play off Yueshan's statement.

However, if someone got this guqin, the strength used to play the piano would be very gentle. This kind of strength would not be able to shake the mountain on the guqin at all.

The reason why the mountains can shake is because of their long history and some dilapidation, or because the seven mountains used to string the strings are organs in the Guqin.

If there was no yellow aura in it, and the two different blue auras, Fang You would never think that this guqin has a secret existence, but the existence of these two auras shows the strangeness and mystery of this guqin. place.

Fang You pinched the first mountain carefully, then exerted a little force, shook it a few times, and then shook the seven mountains one by one a few times, but the Guqin still did not change.

Looking at this guqin, Fang You smiled helplessly. Even if he took it back to Huaxia, how could he tell Elder Chu that he felt that there was a secret in this guqin and that he needed to study it? .

Reminiscent of his constant search for treasures, Fang You is not worried about Mr. Chu's words, but worried that other people will have some unnecessary guesses.

If there is no aura, with his power of observation, he would not feel that there is a secret in this guqin. He has confirmed that there is something hidden in it, but he can't find the mechanism at all. Ordinary people may even think that this is a guqin without secrets. His Guqin, such an obvious doubt, many people can have some doubts about him.

Fang You looked at the Yueshan Mountain. The Yueshan Mountain was very hard, and it should not have been shaken over time if it could be preserved until now. Then, there is a possibility that there is a mechanism on it.

Watching Fang You keep observing back and forth on the guqin, shaking some places from time to time, Mingdao Matsumoto and the others were completely dizzy, not understanding what Fang You was doing.

Just now he said that this guqin is a treasure, but at this moment he fumbled back and forth on the guqin without any scruples.

But Matsumoto Mingdao and the others didn't bother Fang You at all, they just watched seriously one by one.

They were very impressed by Fang You's ability to discover treasures. In a small island country, they discovered the three-legged Golden Crow made of precious Loulan desert jade, and also discovered the Qinan Chenxiang that was not found by the military department chief. Two national treasures of the small island nation.

But Fang You was still groping, and finally, he couldn't help but shook his head, remembering some experience of opening Chengying Sword before, and opening Chengying Sword was also because he suddenly appeared at the black market auction due to the golden escape technique. Thus seeing through the bronze sword full of copper rust, thus seeing the hidden sword inside.

He has never seen through this guqin, but only through the spiritual energy, he knew that there might be secrets inside, he couldn't help but secretly sighed, Chengying sword needs the inner strength of a warrior to open it, this guqin, if it also needs inner strength, then alright.

Suddenly, thinking of the words in his mind just now, Fang You suddenly came back to his senses, and kept thinking about swords, inner strength, Guqin...

The sword is a weapon, which complements the inner strength of the warrior, while the Guqin represents a splendid culture and art. Naturally, it is different from the sword of the main martial arts. Then the mechanisms on the Chengying Sword need to be opened with the inner strength of the warrior. Could it be said that the Guqin, It needs the breath of a literati to open it.

Could it be that hundreds of scholars were spraying upwards in one breath? Fang You fell into imagination, looked at the mountain used to erect the string, and then thought of the shaking of the mountain before, and the wonderful mechanism technique in ancient times, His complexion couldn't help but change. The organ of this guqin must not be able to be opened without playing the piano.

The idea that flashed in his mind made Fang You a little unbelievable. Anyone who heard such an idea would find it very absurd.

But Fang You knew that the mechanism on Chengying Sword was not the same inconceivable in everyone's eyes. Compared with the magic of the world, it is really not surprising.

"Matsumoto, please go and buy seven strings, um, no, buy double, fourteen, the best and most durable." Now that he had this idea, how can he do it without experimenting, Fang You immediately replied Come to think of it, said to Matsumoto Akimichi on the side.

"Mr. Li, please wait a moment, I'll be back soon." Matsumoto Mingdao nodded, without asking Fang You why he bought the strings, he stood up from the sofa and walked out the door.

Looking at the doubts on the faces of the remaining few people, Fang You shook his head and smiled. Now that he has not come up with any results, he really cannot explain some of his discoveries to these people. Even if he tells them, these people will not believe them. As a result, everything can be explained, and all the unbelievable things before can be truly turned into reality.

"How far is the nearest piano store from here?" After waiting for about ten minutes, Fang You couldn't help but replied to the people on the sofa.

One of them replied with a respectful expression: "Mr. Li, the nearest piano shop is not far away, but according to your request, a shop with good quality strings is still some distance away from here. Tobaya Co., Ltd. in the eastern capital of our small island country The strings produced are special silk strings for Guqin, they are of good quality and are unwound, but judging by the current time, Mr. Matsumoto should be back soon."

Fang You nodded. He was no stranger to Toba House, but he had some impressions. When he was studying the Song Dynasty Guqin, he heard Mr. Chu explain that there were strings on the Song Dynasty Guqin brought by Wubu Siren at that time. If it existed, Mr. Chu just touched it lightly with his hand, and said that it was the silk string of Toba House in the small island country, but compared with the silk string produced by Huaxia, it had more tenacity but insufficient bone strength.

As the birthplace of Guqin culture, Huaxia naturally has many shops that produce Guqin including strings. Among them, Taikoo Silk Strings is the most famous. Lovers welcome.

Afterwards, Elder Chu found a few ancient silk strings and played the same song with the silk strings of Toba House. With Fang You's keen sense, he could naturally distinguish the difference between the two strings.

But now the famous Guqin who specializes in producing Taikoo silk strings is old and no longer makes strings. If he wants Taikoo silk strings, he can only buy them from others, or see if some piano shops have them in stock.

In a small island country, unlike Huaxia, the strings used by Tobaya are not bad. Besides, this time it is just to discover the secrets of the guqin, not to play it specially.

During the period when he acquired the guqin in the Song Dynasty, Fang You didn't just study the guqin with Mr. Chu, he also played for a while.

With his super learning ability, he quickly mastered the key points of playing the guqin, and his ability to control and grasp is far better than ordinary people. Coupled with his peaceful state of mind, the timbre he plays is It was so wonderful that even Mr. Chu and other old men were addicted to it.

Naturally, in the end, they couldn't help but sigh at Fang You's learning ability. In their opinion, even a luthier who has studied piano for decades may not be fascinated by Fang You's playing.

The experience of learning the piano from Mr. Chu was also the reason why Fang You asked Matsumoto Mingdao to find the strings when he discovered the secret of Yueshan, and wanted to experiment.

If you don't have such experience and just play randomly, Fang You feels that this mechanism will not be activated at all, unless it is just a blind cat encountering a dead mouse.

As the member of the Dragon Shadow Tomb Raiders said just now, sure enough, after more than ten minutes, Matsumoto Mingdao returned to the room in a hurry, holding a bag in his hand. (To be continued.)
