golden escape

Mountains and Flowing Waters was originally one piece, but it was modified in later generations to become the current two readings. If you just play the two pieces without interruption, it is not a combination of two pieces at all.

Presumably the high mountains and rivers in this song are definitely not the current situation where the two reading Liqin songs are combined. After telling Elder Chu about his request, Fang You felt a little nervous for a moment.

Even if he was caught in the midst of thousands of troops, Fang You would never feel this kind of nervousness. The last time he felt nervous was when he and Ye Yuqing held their wedding ceremony, the nervousness of becoming husband and wife with Ye Yuqing The excitement and excitement are beyond the comprehension of others.

Hearing Fang You's words, Elder Chu smiled, and said in surprise, "Xiao You, you still have time to play the piano in this small island country."

"Mr. Chu, I just played two pieces of high mountains and flowing water while playing the piano, but I felt a strange feeling. Therefore, I remembered what you said before, and I want to try what it is to combine high mountains and flowing water into one piece." Such a situation." Fang You said with a smile, hearing Mr. Chu's tone, he was not very worried about whether the music score would be handed down.

Even without this guqin, he would still have a strange feeling when he played the high mountains and flowing waters, but he didn't know why the musicians in the Tang Dynasty would divide the high mountains and flowing waters into two reading qin pieces.

"Xiaoyou, it may be because your state of mind is too high in the pursuit of perfection. The mountains and rivers are originally a song, but in order to better express the two things, some ancient musicians separated them and passed them down to this day. There are a lot of versions, but the versions of these two pieces are played by reading and cannot be played in combination.”

Mr. Chu smiled, and then continued to the phone: "However, apart from these reading versions, in the qin score handed down by Zhang Kongshan, a famous guqin master in the Qing Dynasty, mountains and flowing water can be combined into one, and the It's just that the piano score handed down by Kong Shan is also different from the real Gaoshan Liushui piano score in the Warring States period, because the Gaoshan Liushui created by Boya is a piece, and it is not divided into sections, so it is extremely difficult to play. , if you want to play the piano with complete mountains and rivers, the piano score handed down by Zhang Kongshan is a good choice."

Hearing Elder Chu's words, Fang You pondered for a while, and then continued to ask: "Elder Chu, hasn't the real piano score of the high mountains and flowing waters been handed down?"

Elder Chu has already explained that Zhang Kongshan's piano score is different from the Gaoshan Liushui in the Warring States Period, Fang You wants to know if the real piano score has been handed down, if not, the only thing he can test is Zhang Kongshan's Gaoshan Liushui.

"Hehe, Xiaoyou, the Qin score of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods has not been handed down, but in the magical secret score compiled and handed down by Zhu Quan, the son of Ming Taizu in the Ming Dynasty, the song "High Mountain and Flowing Water" is performed according to the Tang Dynasty piano score hidden in the palace. Compiled without any revisions, if it is most likely to be Boya's real Gaoshan Liushui piano score, then there is only the Gaoshan Liushui recorded in this magical secret score, which is also the most precious music classic in China." Mr. Chu said with a smile.

Fang You immediately asked, "Old Chu, can you tell me the piano score of high mountains and flowing water in the mysterious score of miracles?"

"Xiaoyou, since I don't need to tell you, you can also buy it in the bookstore of the small island country. This magical secret book was published in photocopies in 1956, and it has been printed countless times. However, the magical secret book Some ancient songs, although of high value, are important historical materials."

"However, these ancient songs have no divisions and no periods. The specific reason is that these piano scores were only handed down at that time, and no one taught them. The articles are exactly the same, we can't break sentences at all, we can't read the articles without punctuation, and we can't understand the meaning. Where to stop, where should be fast, where should be slow, this is also a great regret in the music industry."

Speaking of this, Elder Chu couldn't help sighing, "It can be said that the high mountains and flowing waters in the magical secret score can only be used for research, and cannot be used for actual performance, so I want to experience the feeling of a piece of high mountains and flowing water , the piano score handed down by Zhang Kongshan is better, as for Zhang Kongshan's piano score, you should be able to buy it in the small island country."

Fang You nodded, his face was a bit dignified. He had learned Guqin, so he naturally knew that there were no sections and no periods, and he couldn't play it at all. Just like the mechanism of the Guqin in front of him, he didn't know the secrets, so he couldn't perform divisions at all. Make sentences.

"Mr. Chu, thank you for your guidance. I don't need to bother you anymore. I will buy these two books in the small island country." Fang You said to Mr. Chu with a smile. Since they can be bought in the small island country, there is really no need. Let Mr. Chu tell himself that a complete piano score cannot be explained clearly on the phone.

Elder Chu immediately smiled, "Xiaoyou, you are talented and capable of creating miracles many times. If you play well, you might be able to understand the true mysteries of high mountains and flowing waters."

"Mr. Chu, let me try Zhang Kongshan's piano score first, and see how the high mountains and flowing waters fit into one piece." Fang You said with a wry smile. It is a mystery that no number of modern and ancient musicians can solve. Spectrum, how can I, who has only learned the piano for less than a year, be able to unravel it.

But thinking so, Fang You would not give up a try, that would not be his character anymore.

"Haha, you kid is so unconfident, okay, I won't tell you any more, old man Chen is urging me to play chess quickly, practice hard by yourself, let's get a feel for it." Old Chu said with a smile, just saying, but I don't really think that Fang You can comprehend this qin score and achieve excellence in antiques, but this qin score is an existence that many people can't do anything about. created.

As for how much it differs from the real high mountains and flowing waters, this is beyond the knowledge of future generations.

Fang You smiled, and after saying goodbye to Elder Chu, he hung up the phone, "Matsumoto, is there a large bookstore nearby, I need to buy some books."

"Mr. Li, what books do you want to buy, let me buy them for you." Matsumoto stood up without hesitation, and said to Fang You, with them here, how could Fang You, the savior, go there in person.

Fang You shook his head, looked at the guqin on the table, "Matsumoto, the names of these books in the small island country may be different from those in Huaxia, so don't bother you, I will go by myself, and you are here to watch this book carefully. Just play the guqin."

"Well, Mr. Li, we understand that the nearest large bookstore is two streets away from Longyou Auction House, specifically..." Mingdao Matsumoto nodded, and then explained the address of the nearest large bookstore to Fang You.

After speaking, Matsumoto Mingdao immediately said again: "Mr. Li, I will drive you there."

"No need, this place is very close, and it only takes 10 minutes to go back and forth. You guys sit here first, and I'll come back as soon as I go." Fang You politely rejected Matsumoto Akimichi's proposal, then walked out of the house slowly, and walked to the Longyou Auction A large bookstore not far away.

The Chinese culture is extensive and profound, and the small island country and the nearby Southeast Asian countries are the countries most influenced by the Chinese culture. The silk strings of the Guqin can be bought here, so the famous Chinese piano score cheats should also be found here.

Walking on the road, thinking about what happened today, Fang You couldn't help but smile on his face. If this guqin really has mechanisms, it should be the most complicated antique he has explored since he obtained the escape technique.

From the initial observation, to the final discovery, to the current guess, Fang You was still not sure whether his method was correct.

However, it is so complicated that it is more challenging and arouses Fang You's character of never giving up. The more difficult it is, the stronger his motivation will be.

For the next exploration, he will naturally test Zhang Kongshan's piano score first. If not, he will naturally study the high mountains and flowing water in the magical secret score. Compiled, and the things stored in this guqin are from the Song Dynasty. If there is a mechanism, it should have been opened in the Song Dynasty, and then put in things, so it is very likely that the ones used are the Tang Dynasty. sheet music.

However, whether it is the mechanism on the piano, the way to open the mechanism, or the score of the mountains and rivers, everything is just his guess, whether there is a mechanism on the piano, and whether the mechanism needs to be opened. He doesn't know if it's a mountain or a flowing water, so he can only experiment step by step according to his own ideas.

Soon, he came to the large bookstore that Matsumoto Mingdao mentioned. It was indeed very large, and its area was almost as large as half of Longyou Auction House. The books listed in it must be very comprehensive.

After asking the staff of the bookstore about the exact location of the Guqin notation books, Fang You came to the edge of the bookstore.

There are very few people in this location. After all, most of the people who learn guqin have teachers or have attended special schools. There are probably very few people who can come here to buy piano score books.

Although rare, there are still a few people, most of them are middle-aged and elderly people, but there are also one or two young people among them, and one is a beautiful woman who is still dressed in white and looks very simple.

Fang You smiled, then came to the bookshelf, and began to search. Soon, he found the piano score compiled and published by Zhang Kongshan's descendants. After opening it a little, there was a piano score of Gaoshan Liushui.

In addition to the high mountains and flowing waters, there are also some other famous music scores. In ancient times, everyone had a different understanding of the qin music. Therefore, in some famous qin music, they added the melody they thought. The reason for the version.

The books in this bookstore are very comprehensive. Its qin score has two languages: Chinese and Xiaodao. The writing method of Guqin score is very complicated. It's like reading a bible.

Flipping through it casually, Fang You took the book in his hand, and continued to search, the magical secret score, this book Mr. Chu did not mention it to him when he was learning the piano, maybe he thought this secret book should not be used as a learning guide. The use of the piano can only be used for research purposes.

After searching around, Fang You didn't find the existence of the magical cheats. He couldn't help but feel a little helpless. Maybe he really changed his name after it was published. How did he find it? There are not a thousand, but hundreds of copies. You can’t go through them all. This is not looking for antiques. You can know clearly by using the escapism technique.

He looked at the people next to him. At this time, those middle-aged and elderly people had already left with their piano scores, or found a quiet place to watch quietly. There was a person on the bookshelf next to him, who just left When I came in, I saw the girl in fluttering white clothes. This girl was looking at a piano score in front of the bookshelf with a serious face. Judging from her temperament, she should be a person who has been learning piano for a long time.

"Miss, do you know where the magical secret book published by Huaxia is? This book is a piano score handed down from ancient times in Huaxia, and the name may have been changed here." Fang You smiled, and then asked the person next to him in the language of the small island country. asked the girl.

The girl frowned slightly, then looked at Fang You's appearance, she couldn't help being a little annoyed, and said softly in the language of the small island: "Sir, can you understand the magical secrets? Don't pretend to be close to a person." elegant."

Fang You was taken aback for a moment, this girl felt so good about herself, and then he looked at the young men around the girl who were holding up the piano scores and pretending to be ostentatious. Being shot while lying down, this girl must think that she is better than the men next to her. In order to get close to her, she chose to look for the piano score as a reason.

"Miss, I'm sorry to trouble you, I really need this book." Fang You shook his head and smiled, then said peacefully.

The girl gave Fang You a cold look, and then directly pulled out a book from the nearby bookshelf, "Here, this is the magical cheat book."

Fang You took it in his hand, thanked him, and couldn't wait to open it to read. It was a piano score written in the language of the small island country. Although he was not proficient in the language of the small island country, he could still understand it. , He suddenly smiled wryly, then closed the book, looked at the text on the cover of the book, it was written clearly, it was clearly the score of Mei An Qin, and it was also the most important work in the history of Chinese Qin studies. Published for the first time, and then sold at home and abroad.

"It's also a magical secret score. You can understand that kind of piano score. If you take a book casually, I'm afraid he will think it's a magical secret score. These small islanders are really hateful. You should complete your studies as soon as possible and return to China. "Just as Fang You closed the book and was about to ask the girl a question, he suddenly heard the girl speak softly in Chinese.

He was suddenly depressed, is it so difficult to buy a book, "Miss, I am also from China, not from the small island country you think, so don't look at me in the same way, this book is Mei'an Qin Score , please help me get a magical secret book, thank you."

Fang You's Huaxia language made the girl a little dumbfounded. After she was taken aback, she took out a book from her side again with a strange expression on her face, and handed it to Fang You. Mysterious secret score, but the secret score of Chinese Guqin. As for the Guqin books, there are countless books called secret score. It is normal for him to skip it for a while.

Flipping through it, he saw the unbroken mountains and rivers without periods, and Fang You suddenly smiled, "Miss, thank you very much, as you said, the small island country is indeed not a place to stay for a long time, we should go back as soon as possible." Let's go to the motherland, our Chinese guqin culture has a longer history than the pirated version of the small island country, see you by fate."

After leaving a word, Fang You didn't wait for the girl's answer, and walked out of the Guqin score bookshelf, and after paying the bill at the front desk, he headed towards the Longying Tomb Raider base.

But at the same place, the girl looked at Fang You's heartfelt happiness when he found the magical secret score, which was very strange. Could it be that she really misunderstood, this young man is a master of guqin, she shook her head, so It would be strange for young people not to improve their piano skills, but to find magical secret scores to study. After thinking for a while, she continued to read her books, and decided to finish the course as soon as possible and return to Huaxia.

Fang You brought two books, and quickly returned to the Dragon Shadow Base. At this time, Mingdao Matsumoto and the others were still sitting on the sofa, not staring at the tomb that he had given them earlier. material.

Seeing Fang You coming back, Mingdao Matsumoto and the others quickly stood up and said hello respectfully.

Fang You nodded, then put the magic score aside, opened the Alpine Flowing Water composed by Zhang Kongshan first, after a few glances, he remembered the score and the position of the sections clearly, and roughly played it. After reading it twice, he has completely learned the piece.

Then, he began to play it in full. This piece of qin music combines mountains and flowing water. The sound is magnificent and smooth, spectacular and gentle. Matsumoto Mingdao and the others were stunned when they heard it. Variety.

Fang You was not in a hurry, but continued to calm down and played the second time. Every movement he played was strictly in accordance with what was written on the score, but the taste of playing was beyond ordinary people.

However, after the second and third times, Fang You has reached the point where he can play with his eyes closed, and even if he plays backwards, there is no problem. The guqin still has not changed.

He shook his head slowly, stroked the strings of the qin, stopped the vibrating strings, then put Zhang Kongshan's qin score aside, and opened the famous ancient qin book in China, the magical secret score.

The high mountains and flowing water in this magical secret spectrum are completely like a mass of mud that has been mixed together. People can see it coming in the clouds and going in the fog, but they can't understand the meaning.

If it can be easily understood, then the current high mountains and flowing waters are not separated in this way, and only Zhang Kongshan's line can be combined into one. (To be continued.)
