Remembrance of Tianyin's Adventure

Walking in the stone corridor, Zhan Zhao felt that the current situation was very strange. As a prisoner, he took two women and a young monk to "tour" around. People are willing to believe.

Most of the doors of the stone chambers on both sides of the stone corridor were ajar, but one was different, the door was completely open, as if to welcome Zhan Zhao and others.Since they were imprisoned and poisoned, they didn't have to worry about anything, and simply walked in.

As soon as you enter the door, you will be surprised by the quaint atmosphere that greets you.I saw a painting hanging high on the facing wall, which was the painting of Gu Kaizhi, a painter of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The people in the painting either broke the board, made strings, tried the piano, or watched from the sidelines, all with solemn expressions and demeanor. Elegant and imposing.

Mei Niang knew the qin, and when she saw a black lacquered guqin on the stone table directly under the "Picture of Claying the Qin", she went up to have a closer look.After looking at it, he sighed endlessly, but he was reluctant to reach out to touch it, and turned to Zhan Zhao and said, "Brother Zhan, come and see!"

Zhan Zhao came over to take a look, and found that this Qin was really extraordinary. On the back of the Qin, there was a running script "Imperial Remaining Sound" engraved on the top of the Longchi, a seal script "Qinghe" was engraved under the pool, and a line of words was engraved on the left side: Wu Jinglue rebuilt Jiazi Mid-Autumn Festival .

"Imperial voice!" Zhan Zhao couldn't help but be amazed: "There is such a treasure here!"

Mei Niang said: "The famous qin of the Tang Dynasty, I have only seen 'Feiquan' in the palace!" Knowing that she likes to play the qin, the Queen Mother once gave her the famous qin in the palace collection, and invited court musicians to teach her. Piano skills.

Chunni also learned the piano from her father, and even saw the "Jiuxiao Huanpei", which is also a famous Tang Dynasty piano, at Uncle Shangguan's place. Now she saw the "immemorial legacy" and felt very puzzled, so she asked Zhan Zhao, "Why is it so expensive?" Would the Qin be hidden in such a dark place?" Zhan Zhao shook his head, not knowing why.

Because Cheng didn't know anything about the qin, he didn't want to listen to their conversation, he was just curious, so he stretched out his hand and fiddled with the strings, but he heard a dragon's chant, loud and deep, like a hanging bell, and the reverberation echoed around the beam.

"Good piano!" "It's really good piano!" Mei Niang and Chun Ni praised repeatedly.

Zhan Zhao couldn't help sighing in his heart: "It's a pity that Uncle Shangguan has passed away, otherwise, if he could see this Qin, his life would definitely be worthwhile!" He looked around the entire stone room, and found that there were different things on the left and right sides. It's sheet music.

Zhan Zhao wanted to watch it separately with the three of them, but Mei Niang and Chun Ni followed him all the time, they followed him wherever he went, and they studied what he saw.They said they were visiting Shifu, but their minds were more on Zhan Zhao.Only Xiao Chengyin was alone, walking around here and looking there, he felt quite at ease.

There are many music scores here, including scores for various musical instruments, but most of them are piano scores.In the rows of recessed grids on the stone wall, there are actually many rare music scores in the world, including "Wen Wang Cao", "Cai Shi Wu Lane", "Guang Ling San" by Ji Kang, and even some which are said to be written by Zhou Yu during the Three Kingdoms period. "The Song of the Long River".

These music scores are all treasures in the music world, and it is a great fortune to get one, but the owner of the Shifu actually keeps all of them, and his identity makes Zhan Zhao even more puzzled.

"Uncle Zhan! No, brother!" Cheng Yin excitedly hugged a hand-sized, oval pottery, ran up to Zhan Zhao and said, "Look at this! It looks like a wooden fish!"

Zhan Zhao took it over and smiled when he saw it. He scratched Cheng Yin's little nose with his index finger, and said, "You little monk! It is said that all the sounds heard by the monks in the world are fresh Sanskrit sounds. It's good for you, look at all the circular sounds. All of them are wooden fish!" Pointing to the small holes on the pottery, he said: "See clearly, how many holes do wooden fish have?" Jian Chengyin shook his head and said, "This is Tao Xun, a musical instrument. It was there very early on.”

"Tao Xun?" Cheng Yin raised his head and thought for a while, "Master said that there is only one instrument in this world whose sound can pass through the underworld, and that is Tao Xun!" His eyes lit up, and he said to Zhan Zhao, "If I learn Blow the xun, can master and sister hear it?"

Chunni complained secretly to Cheng Yin: "This kid is really real! Why can't he stay away from his sister in three words?"

Mei Niang saw that Chunni's expression was a little strange, and asked in a low voice in her ear: "Brother Zhan and Cheng Yin's sister..." Seeing Chunni's expression of hesitating to speak, she knew it in her heart.

"Brother! Do you think they can hear it?" Cheng Yin was very persistent and kept asking.

"Yes!" Zhan Zhao's voice was a little low.

Cheng Yin excitedly held up Zhan Zhao's hand and said, "Then you can teach me how to blow the xun! When it's my sister's memorial day, let's blow it to her together!"

Chunni didn't want to watch Cheng Yin torture Zhan Zhao like this anymore, so she pulled Cheng Yin aside and said, "Brother doesn't know how to play xun, so don't pester him. In a few days, when I go back to the palace, I will find a musician to teach you." that is!"

Cheng Yin nodded, and looked at Zhan Zhao, but there was a bit of disappointment in his eyes.Zhan Zhao walked over, stroked his shoulder, and smiled gently.

Cheng Yin stared at Zhan Zhao with a pair of big eyes, speechless for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Brother, will you visit my sister on the grave in the future?" He lowered his head and whispered: "I really don't want you to forget my sister !" In one sentence, Chunni and Mei Niang were shocked.

Zhan Zhao didn't answer, just smiled lightly.This smile, in the eyes of Chunni and Mei Niang, caused a sharp pain in their hearts.

In the study room of Kaifeng Mansion, Gongsun Ce handed over a stack of materials to Bao Zheng and said: "The students carefully checked the materials of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials, and found no connection between Guo Jian'an and people in the Jianghu. It's just that two years ago, he once Betrothed to an unknown woman, but suddenly regretted the marriage on the wedding day, and since then the woman has disappeared.”

"Unknown identity?" Bao Zheng asked curiously, "Since we are engaged, there must be a matchmaker. Doesn't the matchmaker also know the identity of this woman?"

Gongsun Ce said: "The two of them got engaged, neither their parents nor their matchmaker said, it was a private decision for life. Those who went to the engagement banquet that day only knew that Guo Jian'an called his fiancée 'Tong Yun'. "

Bao Zheng said: "In this way, the demon girl is likely to be 'Tong Yun', but..." He frowned and said: "This girl suffered remorse on the day she got married, and she should hate Guo Jian'an in every possible way. How can she avenge him now?"

"Unless Tongyun has a deep affection for Guo Jian'an!" Gongsun Ce said: "Whether the demon girl is Tongyun or not, this is the only clue after all, so don't let it go easily. You might as well go and check the people who went to the engagement banquet that day to see if they can tell you." Learn more about Tongyun."

"That's all there is to it!" Bao Zheng sighed, "The Queen Mother only gave Guard Zhan three days, and now it's the second day, but Guard Zhan is deeply trapped in the devil's den..."

Gongsun Ce said: "My lord, don't worry, Zhan Huwei is just following the plan."

"What about Princess Anning?" Bao Zheng said, "Could it be that what she did today is also in the development of the guard plan?" He thought: "If the government can send Princess Anning back to the palace today, we can take this opportunity to ask the Queen Mother to extend It's time for the exhibition guards."

"I can't blame Princess An Ning for this matter." Gongsun Ce Nianxu sighed: "Although Zhan Huwei is good at strategy, he doesn't know that the key to planning is not to plan things, but to know people." will understand?"

At this time, a yamen servant came to report: "Mr. Gongsun, Daxia Bai is asking to see you outside the mansion!"

Gongsun Ce wondered in his heart: "Seeking outside the mansion? When did Bai Yutang behave like this? There must be something strange!"

Bao Zheng helped the case and asked, "Has Bai Yishi ever brought Princess Anning back?"

"No!" said the yamen servant.

Bao Zheng was even more anxious when he heard this, and ordered: "Please come in quickly!"

The yamen servant hesitated for a moment, and replied: "My lord! Bai Daxia refuses to come in, he wants to ask Mr. Gongsun to go out and meet him!"

"Oh?" Bao Zheng looked at Gongsun Ce in confusion, thinking: "Could it be that there is something he doesn't want the government to know?"

Gongsun Ce cupped his hands and said, "My lord! Let the students go out to meet him first." Bao Zheng nodded in agreement.

"Why did you come out, Mister?" Bai Yutang was waiting outside the mansion, gearing up, when he saw Gongsun Ce coming out, he rushed forward, grabbed Gongsun Ce's arm and pulled it out, causing him to stagger.

"Hero Bai! Can you be more gentle, I am a literati, and I can't stand your troubles like this!" Gongsun Ce complained in his mouth, but he concluded in his heart that he must have something important to do here.

After leaving the gate of the mansion, avoiding the gatekeepers, Bai Yutang lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know where Guo Jian'an's grave is?"

Gongsun Ce was startled when he heard the words, but did not answer, and asked instead: "Could it be Princess An Ning..."

With a gloomy face, Bai Yutang took out a silk handkerchief and said, "This is Mei Niang's belongings. I found it at the gate of the ruined temple, and she was captured by the witch again." He swore inwardly, "The witch! If your Grandpa Bai doesn't give it to you Take a look at it, it won't be called Chinchilla Baiyutang!"

"You didn't try to rescue the princess, but you came to inquire about Guo Jian'an's grave," Gongsun Ce said in surprise, "Could it be that you want to..."

Bai Yutang stabbed the sword hard on the ground, gnashed his teeth and said, "I want to crush Guo Jian'an to ashes!"

Gongsun Ce thought to himself: "Sure enough, I have predicted it! This reckless Bai Yutang!" He hurriedly persuaded: "Bai Xia, absolutely not! Have you forgotten that the two princesses and the guard Zhan are still in the hands of the witch? Once you get angry lost her..."

"I don't mess with the witches, so they will be fine?" Bai Yutang said angrily, "She dares to arrest my Bai Yutang's friend, I will never make her feel better!"

Gongsun Ce said: "Hero Bai, don't be impatient, why don't you follow me into the mansion first, discuss with Mr. Bao, and then make a decision?"

Bai Yutang pulled him aside again, and said in a low voice, "I called Mr. out because I didn't want Lord Bao to know!"

Seeing Bai Yutang's stubbornness, Gongsun Ce thought to himself: "With his temper, even his elder brothers can't persuade him, let alone me, an outsider? Instead of persuading him to give up this idea, it's better to follow the plan, and maybe he can find it for Zhan and the three guards." A glimmer of hope." So he said, "It is understandable that Bai Daxia treats Guo Jian'an like this, but if this matter gets out, people in the Jianghu will probably say..."

"What?" Bai Yutang's expression changed.

"Say you Bai Da Xia has no guts!" Gongsun Ce said.

"What?" Bai Yutang became impatient: "I don't have the guts?"

Gongsun Ce smiled and said, "If you have the guts, why would you only dare to destroy Guo Jian'an's ashes, but not use the ashes to lure the demon girl out and compete with her?"

Bai Yutang raised his head and said, "Why don't I dare?" As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized that he had been tricked, looked at Gongsun Ce slyly and said, "Mr. Gongsun, are you provoking me?"

Gongsun Ce said apologetically, "I just don't want what you did today to make you regret in the future. In fact, is there anyone in Jianghu who doesn't know the courage of Hero Bai?"

What Bai Yutang said was very useful.So he stopped arguing and asked, "Sir, you want me to meet the witch, but do you have a plan?"

Gongsun Ce waved his hand and said, "Come here with your ear!" Whispered with Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang nodded after hearing this, thinking: "Mr. Gongsun is indeed much more flexible than Mr. Bao in doing things!"

The four of Zhan Zhao were watching the musical instruments in the stone room when they suddenly heard an old man in long clothes say at the door: "What do you guys think of my treasures?"

Zhan Zhao turned around and saw that it was the old man who was playing the piano in another stone room before.

Seeing that no one answered, the old man said to Chun Ni and Mei Niang: "Why, you two don't recognize this old man anymore?"

Mei Niang shook her head, she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.

Chunni thought for a moment and said: "Are you... the old man who delivered the food?" Chunni still remembers the phrase "One can be strong without desire".

When I first saw this person yesterday, Chunni only felt that he was unkempt, and didn't see any difference in him. When I saw him today, I found that although his long silver hair was loose, he was not disheveled, and he was tall and straight, with a handsome face. , The temperament is detached, just like a wandering and casual style.

Zhan Zhao asked: "Could it be that your old man is the owner of this place?" He secretly wondered in his heart that this person does not know martial arts.

"Not bad!" The old man walked towards the Guqin "Immortal Remaining Sound" and asked Zhan Zhao, "Do you like this Qin?"

"Naturally!" Zhan Zhao said, "If I hadn't come to this stone room, I'm afraid the younger generation would never have the chance to see it!"

The old man raised his eyebrows and said, "How about I give it to you?"

Zhan Zhao was startled when he heard the words, before he could answer, he saw the old man tap on the stone wall above the "Prime Ancient Music", opened a hidden compartment, took out a music score from it and said, "This is the only copy of "Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes Song" At that time, Empress Li only managed to find the remnant notation of it, but fortunately, Empress Dowager Zhou became proficient in temperament, so the whole piece was restored.” Handing the notation to Zhan Zhao, he said, “This old man will give it to you as well!”

Seeing him like this, Zhan Zhao felt even more puzzled.

"You don't believe it?" The old man solemnly said: "As long as you are willing to worship this old man as your teacher, not to mention a piano or a music score, all the old men in Shifu will give it to you!" Everyone couldn't help being surprised.

Zhan Zhao was unmoved, and smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you senior for not giving up, but this junior already has a teacher."

"I'm not trying to teach you martial arts!" The old man said, "Do you know who this old man is? My surname is Situ, and my name is Tingyin. I'm the fourth generation head of the Tianyin Sect. People in the music world even gave me an nickname, 'Qin crazy'!"

"Qin fanatic?" Zhan Zhao said, "Could it be that you are the younger brother of the 'Qin Sage' Shangguan Wenle?" He thought to himself, so he and Uncle Shangguan are from the same school.

Chun Ni walked forward slowly, her beautiful eyes smiled and said: "Senior Situ wants to accept my senior brother as an apprentice, but do you know who my senior brother is?"

"Who is he?" Situ Tingyin thought: "As long as he has talent, it doesn't matter who he is?"

Chunni raised her eyebrows slightly, and said in a word: "His name is Zhan Zhao!"

"What? He... he is Zhan Zhao?" Situ Tingyin's heart suddenly cooled down, and he said to himself, "I want to accept him as a disciple, but I'm afraid it will be difficult!"
