Chapter 53 False (5)
Flute Kyle is an elder of the tribe, but he is very humble and easy-going. He and An Xingmian quickly chatted warmly.An Xingmian's knowledge of music is not even a beginner's level, but he is superior in his knowledge and knowledge, and he can pick up many topics at his fingertips, which also gave Kyle a lot of insight.The Luo people don't have any fancy ideas. They will be wary when they don't trust humans, but once they like each other, they will be heartbroken. When Kyle talked about his joy, he took out a string of jade beads from his arms: "This I got it by accident when I was traveling in Donglu, but all the creations of our Heluo are just to serve the true God, we don’t need this kind of luxury, but you humans like this kind of thing very much, you can give it as a gift your lover."

An Xingmian took the string of beads, and saw that the string of jade beads was moist in texture, with an oily green background, and there seemed to be water flowing on the surface. It was really a string of high-quality beads, and it was worth at least seven or eight hundred on the market. gold baht.He shook his head: "This gift is too expensive, I can't accept it."

Kyle smiled: "It's valuable or not, that's for you human beings. If I use any precious value as a standard for gifts, then I'm not a servant of the true God. This is just an old He Luo who met a favorite Young man, give him a little toy, are you as vulgar as the people I met in Zhongzhou, Wanzhou?"

An Xingmian also smiled: "Since this is the case, I will be disrespectful. Unfortunately, I really don't have anything good to give you now. I am so poor that I have nothing but money."

The two laughed together, but suddenly, An Xingmian thought of something, and stood up excitedly: "I was wrong just now, Kaier Suxing, I have a very good thing to give away Here you are. Although the original ownership of that thing is not mine, its original owner... has long since passed away, and a good new owner is needed to keep it. Just wait a moment."

He ran out, returned to his room, turned out the music score of "Sunyang Blood" that he accidentally found in the library cave, and ran back to the flute Kyle excitedly.Kyle looked at the book in his hand, with a look of joy on his face: "Ah, is this an ancient human book? That's great, I like reading your human books very much, I also like to collect ancient books.”

"And this one happens to be one you like very much." An Xingmian smiled mysteriously, and handed over "Sunyang Blood" with both hands.Kyle took the book, looked at the cover, and immediately jumped up regardless of his identity and image.

"Is this the original version of "Shangyang Blood"?" He yelled, "Great, I have been looking for the original score of this score, but I have never found it! You are so amazing! You are so great!"

What followed was a string of chattering Luo language. He spoke so fast that An Xingmian couldn't catch it. He just heard a few words like "Thanks to the true God" faintly, and guessed that the Heluo elder was probably speaking to the true god. prayers and such.He couldn't help laughing, it seems that it's not just among human beings that there are people who become obsessed with collection, He Luoli also exists.

"I discussed this book with your human master luthier Lan Tingxuan in Wanzhou Qingyinyuan. At that time, a group of us chatted together for almost three days and three nights..." Kyle's small face showed an intoxicated expression , "Lan Tingxuan admires this piece very much, and thinks it has reached the highest level in music. It is a pity that the composer's birth and death are no longer available..."

"Wait, why can't you take the test?" An Xingmian couldn't help interrupting him, "Isn't this done by Ouyang Fu, a great power in Emperor Qiangwei's era? It's very famous."

Kyle shook his head: "It's wrong, it's wrong! It's just a fake composition written by someone under the name of Ouyang Fu!"

An Xingmian was taken aback: "What, is it a fake?"

Kyle sighed: "It is indeed a fake. Lan Tingxuan specially invited historians and textual research experts to conduct research, and this piece was not composed by Ouyang Fu at all."

"Are you sure?" An Xingmian asked.He was a little disappointed, and he enthusiastically gave the score to the flute Kyle as a precious gift, but he didn't expect it to be a fake.

Kyle saw An Xingmian's disappointment, and waved his hand at him: "Don't look down on it just because it's a fake, do you think my elation just now was faked? Real music is not attached to It exists because of the name of a certain famous musician. Many unknown musicians may not be worse than those big players, but they just don’t have the opportunity. You must have heard the song "Shangyang Blood". ?”

An Xingmian nodded in agreement. "Shangyang Blood" tells the legendary story of Bai Yin, the founder of the famous Yin dynasty in history.In those blood-stirring legends, Bai Yin led hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Yangguan in Zhongzhou under the banner of the burning flame rose. After leaving behind a mountain of corpses, he boarded Yangguan City with the blood of 10 dead and injured. Head, and finally conquered the apocalypse, climbed to the Taiqing Palace, and achieved the great cause of the emperor.In Bai Yin's conquest career, the battle of Yangguan was of decisive significance, and because of the heavy casualties in that battle, the moat was stained dark red with blood, and Yangguan began to be called Shangyangguan.

"Shangyang Blood" is based on the bloody battle at Yangguan. The tune not only expresses Bai Yin's magnificence to swallow the world, but also expresses the tragic bloody battle at Yangguan. What is elevated is a kind of sadness and desolation that runs through from beginning to end.It is not just to praise a legendary emperor, but also adds reflections on wars and killings, and sympathy for soldiers and people who were killed or killed in wars, so it has always been considered lofty and profound.

Recalling these comments, An Xingmian felt that it didn't matter whether it was made by Ouyang Fu or not. Besides, the flute Kyle really liked this gift, and kept saying that he would take it to Qingyinyuan when he went on a trip next time. Discuss with other musicians what is the difference between the original version and the later version, and even hope to find some clues about the original author.

So he was in a good mood again, and continued to chat with Kyle. Kyle asked him where the sheet music came from, but he couldn't tell the truth, so he had to vaguely say that it was accidentally obtained from a certain collector. As for where the collectors found it, I don't know.In order to change the subject, he could only quickly ask: "I've heard that this song "Shangyang Blood" is Ouyang Fu's work since I was a child. How did you verify that it is actually a fake?"

"First of all, Ouyang Fu has a very strange temperament. He has rarely interacted with people, so only a few people know that this person has always hated the great achievements of emperors and generals, and believes that the history of emperors is the history of ordinary people being used and slaughtered. History, for which he refused to compose a carol for the emperor at that time, was almost beheaded," said Kyle the flute, "and the score we hear now, although the final emphasis is indeed on sympathy and sorrow for the common people , but there are still a large number of chapters that show admiration for Emperor Qiangwei's immortal achievements and praises for the war, which really does not seem to be written by Ouyang Fu."

An Xingmian thought for a while: "It makes sense, a person who hates war will not sing praises of war."

"In addition, after Ouyang Fu's death, someone once carefully compiled a list of his works," said Kyle the flute. "In that list, there was no such song. In addition, there is another very important evidence."

"What evidence?" An Xingmian asked.

Flute Kyle picked up "The Blood of the Sun" and wanted to shoot it, but he seemed to think that this book was hard-won, so he didn't shoot it: "The most important point is when this song became popular. We checked it all Various documents and historical books, from the last few hundred years of the Yin Dynasty, there is no mention of this song in any book, and the earliest time it was recorded was about 800 years later. Peacetime. After that, this song really became famous, and there have been countless records about it since then. But before peacetime, no, we didn’t find it once. So we estimate that this song The composition of the song should probably be at that time, but we analyzed the characteristics of the musicians of that era, but we did not find a similar one. So this may be written by a depressed villager, but it is a pity that the strange person His name can only be buried under the dust of history forever. If he didn't pretend to be Ouyang Fu's name at that time, he might be able to leave his name in history."

An Xingmian shook her head slightly: "Not necessarily, people in the world always worship celebrities blindly. If this song is not in the name of Ouyang Fu, I'm afraid there is no chance to pass it on to future generations, right?"

Flute Kyle thought for a while, then sighed dejectedly: "That's right, that's the truth."

The topic was a little heavy here, and it was already time for dinner. Duowen Kachik began to invite the apprentices to prepare dinner.Flute Kyle took An Xingmian's hand, and was about to praise him a few words, but was suddenly taken aback.An Xingmian's face was livid, his lips trembled slightly, and his eyes were even more strange, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.

"What's wrong with you?" Kyle let go of his hand quickly, climbed onto the stool with great difficulty, and touched An Xingmian's forehead, "Are you sick?"

"I understand! I understand!" An Xingmian suddenly shouted loudly.

"You...what do you understand?" Flute Kyle asked tremblingly, "You...you don't have a fever, why do you seem to be burned?"

"It's a scam! It's a scam!" An Xingmian completely disregarded the etiquette in front of Elder He Luo, and almost shouted with all her strength, "This is a scam! We were all deceived!"
