Du Yunzheng's eyes were straightened, he was the best at flute, and the purple flute in his hand was already a top-notch treasure, but compared with the flute made of jade and white bamboo, it was simply incomparable.

According to legend, the timbre of Yubai Xiao is ethereal, faintly like the whispers of a fairy. Ever since I saw it in a picture album when I was a child, Mr. Du has been fascinated by it and sent people to search for it, but there is no news of it so far. I thought it was a legendary thing, but now it turns out How can he not be tempted to appear in front of his eyes like this?

Du Yunzheng struggled for a while before he pretended to be calm and coughed lightly: "This gift is not shabby, so I will accept it reluctantly." As he spoke, he wanted to reach out his hand.

You Ling was faster than him, snapped the lid on the box, and withdrew his hands back.

"What... what do you mean?"

"I changed my mind again." You Ling said with a smile, "Brother Shen lent me "Si Fan", and I gave him gray silk as a gift. Brother Du... seems to have nothing to do with me."

"You...?" Du Yunzheng was so amused that he didn't know how to answer.He just blocked Junlai from giving him the score directly, and the little musician immediately retaliated, which is really unreasonable.

Shen Ziheng shook his head helplessly at the side, the so-called authorities are obsessed.Tianmiao was also too impatient and was dazzled by the treasure.Xiaoyou brought a gift and showed it to him, and this white bamboo is an excellent material for making wind instruments, so it was made clear that it was for him.But this temper is also really interesting, I have to tease him.

"I'll pay 1 taels, and you give me the white bamboo, isn't that okay?" Du Yunzheng was rich and powerful.

You Ling showed a curious expression: "1 taels...gold?"

Du Yunzheng coughed up again?It is impossible for him to come up with such a large sum of money.

Hey, someone like me who is used to living a poor life doesn't know how to spend such a large amount of money? "You Ling broke her fingers and sighed.

"Tell me, how on earth did you give it to me?"

"Let me think about it..." You Ling stroked his chin, his eyeballs rolled around, Du Yunzheng's hairs stood on end, and he was ready to fight, thinking that no matter how unreasonable his request was, he would still order this white bamboo .

"When the white flute is finished, please brother Du play "Lonely Soul" for me again."

Du Yunzheng was stunned: "Huh?"

"Brother Du was upset that day at the Huxin Pavilion, and he didn't show his true level at all. If he had the help of a treasure, with the level of Brother Du, he would definitely be able to make Dujuan cry blood and monkeys wail! Besides, the Xijiang people also rely on Manipulating the bugs and making the monkeys cry, his strength is no match for Brother Du..." You Ling finally stopped laughing this time, and was sincere.

Du Yunzheng reacted for a long time before recalling: "You, were you there just now?"

You Ling clasped his fists and saluted: "Just kidding with Brother Du. I heard that Brother Du and Brother Shen have a deep relationship and are inseparable. Therefore, I also prepared a gift before coming to visit. I also found this Jade White Bamboo by chance. It should be held by highly skilled people. To be honest, I have been searching for the whereabouts of "Si Fan". A great luthier, so I want to take this opportunity to establish friendship with Brother Du."

"Is there anyone who is as friendly as you?" Du Yunzheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

You Ling stuck out his tongue mischievously: "Oh, I still can't do such a hypocritical and condescending gesture! But Brother Du, even if I speak ill at each other, with that Yubai bamboo, I believe you will be more tolerant to me. After all There is no one in this world who loves Xiao more than Brother Du."

"Hahahaha..." Du Yunzheng looked up to the sky and laughed, giving him a big stick first and then a sweet date made him much happier than direct flattery.There are too many people who want to make friends, and it is the first time to see him who is so straightforward.It's really... unbelievable.

"It seems that my friendship has been climbed." You Ling smiled and handed over the gift.

"You..." Du Yunzheng was not pretentious, and answered straightforwardly, "If you have anything to do in the future, feel free to ask me, brother."

After talking, the three of them lost the restraint they had when they first met. The three of them were already the most outstanding musicians in the world, and when they chatted, they felt like they had met each other and hated the lateness.

After afternoon tea, Shen Ziheng went to the secret room behind the study and took out an exquisite wooden box. When he opened it, he found a piece of bright yellow silk paper inside, which was about the size of a brick when unfolded, but the shape was not very neat, as if it was made from a A part torn off from a large piece.

And when You Ling unfolded the legendary music score full of expectations, he was dumbfounded. He saw that the upper half of the silk paper was a few lifelike meticulous paintings, although each pair was very small. But the painting skills are superb, even the ornaments and hair on the characters can be seen clearly.Judging from the posture and costumes of the characters in the painting, the painting tells the story between Emperor Wu and the palace merchant.And the part below that looks like a musical score is completely a ghost note!

You Ling laughed: "Brother Shen, although the Emperor Wu and the Great Musician are pictured on it, how do you think it's the score "Si Fan"?"

Shen Ziheng had already expected that he would have this question: "First of all, you should already understand that what I got is only a part of "Si Fan", to be precise, it is a quarter. I can get this score, which is also a part of "Si Fan". Romance."

Both You Ling and Du Yunzheng listened attentively.

"A few years ago, I was traveling around. When I passed through the western Fujian area, I went astray because of the many mountains and forests. So I walked along a small stream with my qin in my arms. When I got to the end, I saw a Small town. The people in the town are simple and cheerful, and they received me very warmly. Every evening, the whole village will come out, gather at the altar at the end of the village, play light music with a strange instrument, and then Passionate dance."

Shen Ziheng seemed to recall the scene at that time, showing fascination, "I have never heard that music in my life, and I was so ecstatic, so I stayed in the village for a long time, asking them for some knowledge that I had never heard before. Later, before leaving, in order to thank them for their kindness, I impromptuly played a piano piece for the villagers. Unexpectedly, they were all happy after listening to it. The village head handed me the silk paper and told me it was There are four parts in the music score left by the immortal they respect, and they only have a quarter of it, and let them give it to the person who has reached the pinnacle of piano skills in the world. A mortal body, transformed into an immortal. Then, I was kicked out... Later, I tried to search for this village again, but I couldn’t find any trace. If it wasn’t for the sheet music in my hand, I really thought I was in a coma Shen Chen had a dream..."

"Could it be... there really are immortals." Du Yunzheng was so surprised when he heard this story for the first time, he muttered to himself.

"Tianmiao, the world is vast, far beyond your imagination." Having said that, Shen Ziheng smiled slightly: "Before I met Xiaoyou, I boasted that my piano skills were unparalleled in the world, so I brought this sheet music back. Later this music score was seen by my father, and he told me that the rubbings on this score were unique to the palace merchant musicians, and those strange symbols were created by the palace merchant back then, and only he and the Emperor Wu knew the meaning."

You Ling lifted up the silk paper and looked it upside down: "Wait, where is the rubbing here?"

"That's exactly what I'm going to say next." Shen Ziheng signaled You Ling to be calm, "The one in front of you is a fake."

"What? A fake? Where did it really go?" Before You Ling could ask again, Du Yunzheng couldn't help but screamed.

"In the hands of the empress queen."

Seeing suspicious expressions on the faces of both of them, Shen Ziheng continued to explain: "Although I only told my father and master about getting the music score, but I somehow leaked the news. A few days later, I was summoned by the queen. Only then did I learn that this music score is the legendary Divine Comedy "Si Fan", and the queen has been looking for this song for a long time." Speaking of this, Shen Ziheng smiled wryly, "The queen's words implied threats to my family members. I have to present the score, but the condition is that I can leave a copy. Although the painting can be copied, and the score can also be copied, but the rubbings cannot be imitated, so..."

"That's why we saw it like this!" Du Yunzheng almost slapped the table angrily, "This is clearly a robbery!"

In contrast, You Ling's mood was much calmer. He thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I've also heard about the queen. The queen is the eldest daughter of the great writer Xiao Yu, whose real name is Xiao Ling. He is also proficient, and has a good voice like a yellow oriole coming out of the valley. King Wu was a white dragon fish costume back then. When he was hunting in the wild, he overheard a little song composed and sung by Xiao Ling. In the first month, the Xiao family was called into the palace and Zhaoyi was conferred. At that time, it was not long before Qin Zhaoyi entered the palace. From this point of view, our sage can be regarded as a romantic person."

Du Yunzheng glared at him: "Xiaoyou, just say this in front of us. Don't criticize the Holy One!"

You Ling responded with a smile, feeling that brother Tianmiao is just like Xiao Shitou, he is hard-spoken and soft-hearted.

Du Yunzheng nodded in satisfaction, and continued with You Ling's words: "It's not a secret in the noble circles of the capital that such a mess is. Qin Zhaoyi is the niece of General Qin Yaoqin's family. To establish a country, as long as there is a capable family, they will let their children practice martial arts. Although Qin is a daughter, she is very talented, and she has also learned good martial arts since she was a child. From the very beginning, it was a problem, with various schemes to frame Qin Zhaoyi, and in the end, Qin Zhaoyi was left in the cold palace, but Xiao Ling took the second place by virtue of her special favor. You said that this woman is from a family, wouldn’t it be nice to sit in the back seat? However, she wanted to find out in front of Qin Shi, and in the end, Qin Shi, who was very skilled, stabbed her in the abdomen with a knife, which hurt the root. It was a pity that this was after the birth of the prince, otherwise she might not even be able to sit firmly in the back seat. ..."

"Even so, Queen Xiao's body is still weak. Not only has she been sick all year round, but her appearance is also getting worse. She is more concerned about her appearance than her life when she is in glory. This made her almost go crazy, and she has no mother at all. The temperament of the world. Logically, Xiao Ling can't continue to be a queen like this. However, Xiao Yu has a lot of prestige in the court, and his disciples almost support half of the sky as a military official, so King Wu has never mentioned the matter of abolishing the queen. .”

Shen Ziheng nodded: "I don't know where Queen Xiao heard about "Si Fan", and she firmly believes that as long as she gets a glimpse of the mystery in it, she can recover physically, return to youth, and live forever, so she almost put all her energy into it. They are all used here. In addition to this fragment of mine, the queen also got another piece from an eminent monk, which is equivalent to getting half of the score of "Si Fan".

You Ling rubbed his chin: "King Wu doesn't seem to care about this matter, but he is actually silently supporting it."

Shen Ziheng nodded: "After all, he is an emperor, even if there is a one-ten-thousandth possibility, he wants to keep the foundation alive."

You Ling seemed to have thought of something again, staring at Shen Ziheng up and down.

"Xiao You, but what's on my face?" Shen Ziheng was puzzled.

You Ling shook her head: "Brother Shen, I suddenly understand why Queen Xiao is willing to let you copy a copy. Even if Queen Xiao collects all the music scores, she may not know what is hidden in the score. And you, as the world's first A luthier is the person who can best see the secrets, so the last extreme situation is that the queen has collected all the music scores, then imprisoned you, threatened you with your family, and asked you to decipher the secrets of the music scores and tell her .”

Shen Ziheng was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't think in this direction.

"According to my speculation, the news that "Si Fan" is in your hands was also revealed by the queen's people, so people like Mrs. Miaoyin were attracted to use you as bait. On the one hand, they can deceive others and continue to collect piano scores clues; on the other hand, you can be used as the criterion to test the luthiers in this world. After all, as long as they play the piano, there is no one who will not be moved by "Si Fan"..."

Shen Ziheng frowned slightly, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was true.

Du Yunzheng slapped the table angrily: "What, that old woman came up with such an idea! It's too much!"

You Ling laughed, thinking that brother Shen made a really good friend, just now he was reminded to be cautious in his words and deeds, now he couldn't help but scold him first!

"But that day at the Huxin Pavilion, everyone including Mr. He saw Xiao You, so you are probably being watched by the queen's people now, so be careful!" Shen Ziheng quickly calmed down, Instead, he sincerely reminded Youling.

"Brother Shen, don't worry, I'm alone, even if I'm threatened, I can't be threatened. And I'm afraid that she won't find me, otherwise, I won't get any more clues." You Ling laughed heartily.

"Xiaoyou, I have a question for my brother." Shen Ziheng said suddenly.

You Ling smiled: "Brother Shen, but it's okay to say."

"Why do you bother to pursue "Si Fan"? Although you and I have known each other not long ago, Shen still believes in his own eyes. You don't seem to be a person who can cultivate immortals and seek Tao, and is obsessed with immortality. If it weren't for that legend , this thing is at best a few pieces of waste paper, it is better to spend a lot of time to study the piano skills."

"Brother Shen is a rare and transparent person." You Ling praised sincerely, then cupped his fists and bowed deeply, "But this music score involves personal life experience and the life of a close friend, please forgive me for not being able to tell you."

Shen Ziheng nodded knowingly, and then ordered the attendant to take away the tea in exchange for fine wine: "It's rare to have such a happy chat today. We want to have a good time with the wine and not get drunk. It just so happens that there is a gazebo in the backyard of Shen's house. It’s pretty good, let’s move on to it.”

Accompanied by the night breeze and fine wine, the three of them talked about astronomy and geography from techniques and rhythms. The topics got farther and farther away, but their interest became higher and higher. After half drunk, they began to play the flute and piano again, showing off their skills to each other. The melodious music kept playing in the courtyard The reverberation, the lingering sound surrounds the beam, only makes people intoxicated.

When it was completely dark, the sky due east was suddenly illuminated by golden fireworks.

Du Yunzheng slapped his head: "Yes, I remembered, tomorrow is the Qianqiu Festival, and the palace is holding a banquet at the moment, with a big banquet for all the officials. Brother Shen became famous at the Qianqiu Festival back then, which is really nostalgic .”

Shen Ziheng nodded: "Golden fireworks... It seems that this year someone has won King Wu's favor again, and has been named Le Kui. I don't know... who is it?"

You Ling looked at the direction of the fireworks and blinked curiously.
