Chapter 154: Qin Mei
Chapter 154 Qin Mei
Xiaoqing pressed the sword, and the maids shrank back one after another. The pitiful expressions on their faces made people feel pity for them.
"Charming?" Yun Yan was slightly surprised. She looked at the maids. Apart from being very beautiful, they were almost the same as ordinary people. If there was any difference, it would be that they had more aura than ordinary people, but were a little less angry.
, there is always a smile on his face, and he seems to be incomprehensible to other people, but it adds a bit of charm.
"Charms are neither monsters nor ghosts. They are mostly born from the strange atmosphere of mountains and forests. In the deep valleys and deep pools that are inaccessible, there will be such things over time. These things are naturally charming, and when people see them, they will be confused and trapped to death.
You can never come out of the swamp." Xiao Qing put down the sword in his hand, knowing that these things were not harmful.
Hu Xinyue leaned against the side of the ship and waved, and the maids came forward again. She touched the cheek of one of the maids, "People are confused because of their weak will. What does it have to do with them? These weak little things are just born."
When you are worse than a ghost, who can you harm? Is it true that beauty is a disaster?"
Yun Yan said: "It is said in "Zuo Zhuan" that "it is impossible to encounter monsters and monsters. I don't want to see them today, but the charm is probably only useful for men!"
Hu Xinyue pinched Yun Yan's cheek, "That's right. Even if we look like this, if the following men were to choose, they would definitely choose them, and they would be fascinated by them. Legend has it that when a man sees them, he will be most nostalgic in his heart.
, the woman I can’t forget. Let’s go in!”
Surrounded by maids, he walked towards the cabin.
The big ship started slowly, but there were no oars under the ship and no sails on the ship. It was unknown where the power came from.
Yun Yan looked back and saw that the restaurant that originally overlooked the West Lake now seemed to be at her feet.
As soon as Yun Yan entered the cabin, she felt a refreshing cool air coming from nowhere. What she saw in front of her was an open and bright space, without the cramped darkness of ordinary cabins. There was a crystal lamp on the top that was bright without fire, illuminating the surrounding area.
Feitian's murals and the empty hall below. Looking down from the railing, there is a gorgeous golden chrysanthemum, blooming dazzlingly. It is a pattern outlined on a carpet that is more than ten feet long.
Hu Xinyue led them upstairs. There were several floors above the deck. Along the way, Yun Yan paid attention to her surroundings. From the outside, she only thought that the ship was very tall, but from the inside, it was very delicate. On both sides of the corridor, everyone
Five steps away, there is a pearl the size of a goose egg embedded in it. Its brilliance is so dazzling that the candlelight eclipses it. It is also decorated with a bronze mirror, which makes it even more brilliant.
What's even more strange is that the pearl is not perfectly round, but it looks like a Guanyin sitting on a lotus. It shines brightly and is completely natural.
Yun Yan asked in surprise: "Is this the Clam Buddha?"
Hu Xinyue cast an appreciative glance. Xiaoqing asked: "Clam Buddha?"
Yun Yan said: "I once read in "Stories of Strange Things" that there are strange clams in the South China Sea. The pearls inside are like Buddha's Dharma. Those who get them are all treasures like the arch wall. But that is just a legend. I didn't expect to see it all at once.
So much." He smiled bitterly at the end, "Such a thing is a rare thing. Nowadays, it is embedded in the wall for lighting purposes for free. This is what the so-called "Pearl in the Dark" is like!
After thousands of years of cultivation, Sister Bai is alone, but she has collected all the rare treasures from all over the world and filled this big ship. What she sees now is probably just the tip of the iceberg. Just looking at such luxurious and elegant decoration, it is probably the inner courtyard of the palace.
Far from it.
The most surprising thing is that even though I'm walking on the boat, I haven't felt any bumps until now.
Xiao Qing could already feel the many magical formations at work, and knew that this boat was probably a good magical weapon.
They were thinking about it, when suddenly their eyes cleared and they had reached the highest point of the building. Looking from the handrail, they could see people walking like beans and cruise ships flying by. Standing here, they could overlook the entire city of Hangzhou, even though they were slightly dizzy.
There is a feeling of "seeing all the mountains and small mountains at a glance".
The breeze blows slowly, and the gauze tents are dancing.
Countless delicacies were served on jade plates, and the long red sandalwood table was covered. Yun Yan wanted to say that she had just eaten and there was no need to bother, but Hu Xinyue had already placed a small fish on her plate.
"Although you are knowledgeable, you may not recognize what this is."
Yun Yan lowered her head and took a closer look. The fish between them looked like a carp but had wings. "Could this be... a flying ray? It is found in the Tianhe River in the West Pole. It often flies from the West Sea and swims in the East China Sea. I think it is just the imagination of scholars.
, I didn’t expect it to be true.”
"Although the rumors are false, this fish is real. Why don't you try how it tastes? Is it better than Xu Xian's cooking skills?"
Yun Yan only tasted a few bites and felt that it was very delicious, even Xu Xian's cooking was not as good as most of the other dishes. Most of the other dishes were also rare. After only a few bites, her appetite was whetted, and Xiao Qing was already devouring them.
The luminous cup contains grape wine. Three plain hand-held cups touch it gently, and the bright red wine is flowing. The three people look at each other and drink the wine in one gulp. The ice flows in, the heat rises, and the wine is difficult to brew.
Compared to its taste, even Yun Yan couldn't describe the taste of this wine. I'm afraid it didn't come from the mortal world.
Yun Yan played with the wine glasses and felt that all the utensils were exquisite, and from her point of view, most of them were valuable antiques, now only used for drinking.
Hu Xinyue smiled and said, "What do you two sisters think?"
Yun Yan sighed: "The ultimate luxury in the world."
Xiao Qing said: "The food tastes good."
Hu Xinyue shook her head and said: "We're still far from it! Sister Yan'er loves the piano, why not listen to the sound of this piano!"
She lightly clapped her hands, and immediately there was a faint sound of the piano, which was intermittent, sometimes continuous, sometimes absent, and reached her ears, which was sultry. Yun Yan was mesmerized by it, and Xiao Qing, who didn't understand the music, thought it was wonderful.
In the jade pin furnace, the ambergris rose. I don't know how long it took, but the sound of the piano stopped, and there was still a lingering sound that lingered in my ears.
Before the sound ceased, another sound came up again. It was loud and fierce, just like the sound of thunder.
The sound of thunder has gone silent, and the bells are ringing loudly. If you listen carefully, you can see that it is also the sound of a piano, as loud as a bell. Its sound is sad and makes you want to cry when you hear it, but it is not the soft and lingering sadness of Jiangnan tunes, but "the yellow bell is destroyed and the tiles are broken."
The tragedy of “Thunder Cauldron”.
Yun Yan was stunned and speechless. She originally thought that Hu Xinyue's ship was just some rare treasures. No matter how rare they were, it was difficult to shake her mind, and her face always maintained a certain calmness. But these three things just now
The sound of the zither was clearly played by three people, and their qin skills were not inferior to hers, and some were even better than hers.
After a long time, Hu Xinyue gave a gentle high-five, the sound of the piano subsided, the curtain opened, and three women sat behind the curtain, each with a piano on the table in front of them.
Yun Yan couldn't bear to be polite, stood up and looked at the three harp paintings, muttering slightly:
"Tong Zi He Jing", "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix", Green Qiqin.
"A crane that has endured the wind for a long time cannot bear to complain. A touch of thunder brings double the credit." "Ambush from Flying Daggers" "Lei Qin".
"Huang Zhong Da Lu" and "National Memorial" carillon.
One is the inscription engraved on the qin, the other is the music played just now, and the last is the name of the qin.
"Sister Hu, you complimented me on my piano skills a few days ago, but it turned out to be just a false compliment!" Yun Yan saw that the three piano masters were all maids on the ship. Whether they were human or charming, their ability to perform such a skill was enough to make people gasp in admiration.
Hu Xinyue smiled and said: "No, these songs were not played by them."
"Not them?"
"It's Sima Xiangru, it's Boya..."
Yun Yan said: "What does this mean?"
Hu Xinyue smiled mysteriously and did not explain, but said to the three piano players: "Luqi, Benlei, and Xiaozhong, these are the masters I have chosen for you."
The three piano masters looked at each other and said, "Sister's choice must be correct!" They picked up their respective pianos, knelt down, and presented them to Yun Yan. "Green Qi, Ben Lei, and Hao Zhong have met their masters."
Yun Yan opened her eyes wide, "You want to give these guqins to me? Wait, what do you call them?" These three guqins are all priceless and famous qins. I don't know how many people can only dream of them. In comparison,
The "Ice String" in Yun Yan's hand is much inferior. Such a generous gift cannot be measured by money.
Hu Xinyue smiled and said, "They are also charms, but what sister Xiaoqing just said was only half right. Charms are not only born from the strange atmosphere of the mountains and forests..."
Yun Yan suddenly realized, "The god of all things is called Mei!" This statement was annotated by Zheng Xuan of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In other words, "Charm" is the spirit of all things.
Charm is an object that only grows in two kinds of places, one is in uninhabited mountains and forests. The other is when objects that are loved by people gain a little bit of popularity over time and become spiritual and become charms.
As the saying goes, "old things become better".
Hu Xinyue said: "Smart, they are the charms of these three guqins. In ancient times, everyone who played the guqin would burn incense and bathe before playing. When playing, they must concentrate their concentration, whether it is sad or happy, whether pure or elegant, to bring out this pure
Only when the spirit is transferred from the fingertips to the strings can there be a truly moving tone. Over time, dead objects have become spiritual, but they are born without souls and can only play the voices of others. That is you
The sound of the piano that I heard just now. So you don’t have to belittle yourself, there are only a handful of people who can surpass you in piano skills throughout the ages!”
Only then did Yun Yan understand the meaning of what Hu Xinyue had just said. What she heard was actually conveyed by these three piano charms, the performances of ancient piano masters. Although her piano skills were high, they were by no means unprecedented.
To the extent that having these three qins is like having three good teachers and friends, which have endless benefits for qin art.
"Are you really going to give them to me?"
Hu Xinyue said: "Exactly, they have been lonely for too long and need new performers. I believe you will not let them down."
"I hope the master will use us to play more beautiful music!" The figures of the three women gradually became more real and more imaginary, and merged into the piano with the curl of green smoke.
Yun Yan stroked the strings lightly and said with joy and pity: "I said that these famous pianos have been lost. It turned out that they were all hidden by you. It is such a pity that these famous pianos are not lonely."
Hu Xinyue said: "If they are just dead objects, that's it. When they have souls and sing the elegant tunes of mountains and rivers, they can no longer tolerate the noise of the world, and ordinary piano players cannot play them at all."
Yun Yan also sighed for a while, Qin was also waiting for her soulmate, otherwise she would rather keep silent.
