Remembrance of Tianyin's Adventure

The entire stone room was filled with a sad silence, only the sound of Cheng Yin's slow chanting was heard.

Gradually, Mei Niang's complexion seemed to improve, and Zhan Zhao and Chun Ni's chests didn't feel so painful, but the pain didn't completely disappear.

Zhan Zhao looked around strangely, and thought: "Why is this happening? The piano sound hasn't stopped!" When he looked back at Cheng Yin, he saw that his face was rosy, and he seemed to have no pain, and asked: "Cheng Yin! Are you okay? ?"

Cheng Yin opened his eyes, waved his hands to Zhan Zhao hastily, and said, "Don't interrupt me, as long as you stop chanting, my heart will hurt!" After speaking, he continued to chant sutras loudly: "Bodhisattvas should leave all appearances. Anuttara-samyak-sambodhicitta should not dwell in form to generate mind, should not dwell in sound, fragrance and touch dharma to generate mind, but should generate non-dwelling mind. If the mind has abiding, then it is not abiding... ".

Zhan Zhao was surprised: "Could it be that the "Diamond Sutra" and "Tan Sutra" he recited helped us resist the poison?" He said to Chun Ni: "Although the Buddhist scriptures can make people stay away from desires, how can they restrain Qin Gu?"

When Chunni heard him say "stay away from desires", she suddenly said: "If you don't have desires, you can be strong...Senior brother! I understand! It must be 'be strong without desires'!"

"If you don't want to be strong!" Zhan Zhao said puzzled.

Chun Ni said happily: "Senior Situ once pretended to be the old man who delivered the food, and repeatedly said four words to Meiniang and me, that is, 'If you don't want to be strong'! At that time, we were surprised at his intentions, but now we finally understand!"

"It turns out that Senior Situ has already told you the method of restraining Qin Gu!" Zhan Zhao was secretly happy for Shangguan Wenle, after all, his junior is still a person who can distinguish right from wrong and has kind thoughts in his heart, he is worthy of being called "Tianyin School" The fourth generation head!

The two were talking when they suddenly heard a quarrel in the distance.

Only an old man's voice said: "What are you doing? Stop! Stop!" It seemed to be Situ Tingyin.

"I can't stop! Uncle! If you don't give him some color, how can he give in? How can he agree to worship you as a teacher?" It was Guo Zhongqing who answered.

Then I heard Situ Tingyin yelling: "If a mere qin gu can make him succumb, he won't be a Nan Xia!" It's like erupting with helplessness.

The sound of the zither that stimulated the poison stopped abruptly, abruptly and decisively, as if the strings of the zither had been snapped.

Immediately, after a burst of eager footsteps, the chain outside the stone door rattled, and as the stone door opened, Guo Zhongqing broke in.With windy footsteps, he walked up to Zhan Zhao, pulled off the sword in his waist, and threw it in front of Zhan Zhao with a "wow", panting heavily, "I was the one who caught you, and I was the one who activated the Qin Gu It has nothing to do with my uncle!" Looking at Zhan Zhao resolutely, he said, "As long as you are willing to worship my uncle as a teacher, as long as you can make my 'Tianyin Sect' flourish in the future," pointing at the sword on the ground, he said hoarsely: "I would rather You killed me with one sword!" As he spoke, his neck was stabbed, and he looked deathly as if at home.

Everyone has seen Guo Zhongqing's aloof appearance, and now they are not used to seeing him suddenly display such arrogance.

Chunni hated him very much, seeing him so crazy, she said to Zhan Zhao: "Senior brother, ignore him!"

Zhan Zhao didn't like this person at all, but seeing that he was willing to give up his life for Master Guang, his heart was touched.

Mei Niang was much better now, Zhan Zhao handed her over to Chun Ni Haosheng to take care of her, so he picked up the sword on the ground, stood straight in front of Guo Zhongqing, handed the hilt forward, and said in a deep voice: "Put the sword away." stand up!"

Guo Zhongqing wanted to refuse, but when he looked up and saw Zhan Zhao's calm but unquestionable gaze, he involuntarily stretched out his hand slowly and took the sword.

To Zhan Zhao's surprise, Guo Zhongqing, a seven-foot man, suddenly shed tears. Every tear seemed to accuse Zhan Zhao of being unreasonable. The only disciple, and the only descendant of the 'Tianyin Sect'. But my aptitude is mediocre. The uncle said, your aptitude is higher than that of the master and the old man!" As he said, he knelt down in front of Zhan Zhao, Begging: "I beg you! I beg you to worship Shishu as your teacher! It really depends on you to make the 'Tianyin School' grow!"

"It's just inexplicable!" Chunni came forward to point at Guo Zhongqing in a rage and said, "You are the future head of the 'Tianyin Sect', and the Everbright Sect is your responsibility. What do you have to do with my brother? My father Whether he was right or wrong back then, he was my senior brother's master after all, so you don't want to force him to go against my father's wishes!" Chunni knew that Zhan Zhao was soft-hearted, and part of what she said was for Zhan Zhao.

Even without Chunni's hint, Zhan Zhao would not waver. In his heart, the destiny of a teacher is as great as the sky.But in the face of Guo Zhongqing's persistence and sincerity, it's hard for him to remain indifferent.Thinking of the kindness that Uncle Shangguan taught him back then, he felt that he had the responsibility to do something for the 'Tianyin Sect'.

So Zhan Zhao leaned over to help Guo Zhongqing up, and said, "'Aptitude' is nothing, how do you know that you are not as good as me?"

Guo Zhongqing said: "Do you still remember that you accidentally broke into Master's piano room because of the sound of the piano?"

"Early this morning?" Chunni thought to herself, "I don't know what time it is?" Since she was caught in this dark place, she could only live in confusion, unable to distinguish day from night.

Just listen to Guo Zhongqing continuing: "That song is called "Survival", which was composed by my uncle for three years and brought together countless efforts of his old man. People can comprehend the true meaning of the music." Said to Zhan Zhao: "And you! After listening to this song, you will know that the person playing the piano is in danger, so rush to rescue him!"

A person outside the door interjected: "You have truly comprehended the true meaning of "Survival"!"

Everyone saw that it was Situ Tingyin.He strode in and said to Zhan Zhao: "You have such a rare qualification, if I can't accept you as an apprentice, how can I be worthy of my 'Tianyin Sect' past generations?"

Hearing what he said, Zhan Zhao knew that the previous remonstrance to him was in vain.Thinking that, as the head of a school, he did not understand the essence of the school's founding, and could not inherit the essence of Uncle Shangguan's life, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but feel deeply saddened.

The affairs of other factions had nothing to do with Zhan Zhao, and now that he is in the devil's lair, he didn't come to interfere in the internal affairs of other factions, but when he heard Situ Tingyin's emphasis on "qualification", he realized that he really couldn't stand by. Otherwise, how could he be worthy of Uncle Shangguan, who, like his master and Mr. Bao, is worthy of his admiration for the rest of his life!

Zhan Zhao came to the left wall, stretched out his hand to pick up a bamboo flute, turned to Situ to listen to the sound, and said, "Can the old man recognize this thing?"

Situ Tingyin was surprised and said: "This is a seven-hole bamboo flute." He was puzzled by Zhan Zhao's intention.

Zhan Zhao's firm and slender fingers touched the bamboo knots on the flute, and said, "Uncle Shangguan used it to play music for the people in the fields during his lifetime."

"So what?" Situ asked.

Zhan Zhao said: "Although the Yaoqin is good, it is too expensive. The bamboo flute is different, as long as there is bamboo, you can make one."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Guo Zhongqing asked impatiently.

"Everywhere Uncle Shangguan goes, he will personally teach the people there how to make flutes and how to play them. In this way, even if Uncle Shangguan leaves the place, the people can still hear the cheerful music." Zhan Zhao looked back at the past, Full of admiration, he said: "Although I dare not say that he has been to every inch of land in the Great Song Dynasty, he dedicated his life's talents to the poor people in the world!"

Although Mei Niang and Cheng Yin did not know Shangguan Wen Le before, they couldn't help being awed after hearing Zhan Zhao's words.

Chun Ni said to Situ Tingyin: "Could it be that you don't understand what my senior brother means? The 'Tianyin Sect' accepts disciples with the heart of 'benefiting the common people'. But you only value aptitude and understanding, don't you?" Going after the end?"

Zhan Zhao said: "Junior Sister's words are exactly what the juniors mean." I thought Situ would be moved by listening to the sound, but unexpectedly he said excitedly: "You two are not disciples of the 'Tianyin Sect', how do you know what 'Ben' is? What is 'Mo'? Although my senior brother has won the title of 'Qin Sheng' in the music world, he has never entered a wealthy family in his life, and he doesn't know the rich and powerful. Which one of the officials in the court knows who is the 'Qin Sheng'? How can it be long live today? Know who is 'Shangguan Wenle'? If I let my disciples be like him, only caring about spreading joy to the people, but being unknown in the court, how can the 'Tianyin School' be recorded in history? How can future generations be After thousands of years, spread the reputation of 'Tianyin Sect'?"

"The younger generation really disagrees with the words of the seniors!" Zhan Zhao said sternly: "Could it be that the meaning of the existence of the 'Tianyin Sect' is just to let a false name be passed on for generations to come?" Zhan Zhao only felt that the people in front of him were far from him. The expectation of Yinpai's head is getting more and more distant.Shangguan Wenle's position in Zhan Zhao's heart is as unshakable as a god, but unexpectedly he cannot get the understanding and approval of his junior brother.

Guo Zhongqing sighed: "Zhan Zhao, Uncle Master is right! You don't understand, you really don't understand our feelings! In Jianghu, you are a majestic southern hero, highly respected by the people; in the imperial court, you are a third-rank official , is deeply favored by the emperor. You naturally have the world in your heart, and you care about the people!" With trembling hands clutching the lapel of his chest, he said: "But we are different! We are just people in the music world! Our mission is to write moving songs We are not heroes, we are not high-ranking officials, how can we bear the burden of "helping the common people"? It is true that "helping the common people" is the essence of our school, why don't we want to pass on this spirit from generation to generation? According to legend? But can we really do it?” Asked Zhan Zhao, “You say we’re ‘abandoning the basics and chasing after the last’, and you say that ‘understanding aptitude’ is not important! But if you have a heart of loving the people but mediocre martial arts, how can you still do it?” Get the title of 'Southern Xia', and be appointed as a high-ranking official in front of Yuqian? There are so many suffering people in the world, how many people can you save?"

He didn't wait for Zhan Zhao to answer, and continued: "Why doesn't my uncle want to accept someone who has both morality and ability as a disciple? But where can I find such a perfect person?" He sneered, "You Zhan Zhao is a 'perfect person', but you Are you willing to join my teacher?" Looking up to the sky and weeping, he said, "In the end, my uncle and I want you to join the 'Tianyin School', and let you, a hero who cares about the world, compose music and play the piano all day long, it's just a dream come true !"

Although these words are angry words, they are not without reason.Since ancient times, even if you are a king, it is difficult to find a courtier with both ability and political integrity, let alone a small "Tianyin School"?Zhan Zhao couldn't help asking himself: "Is it because I'm too demanding of these two people in front of me?" However, how much he hoped that Uncle Shangguan's spirit of "spreading widely and delighting the common people" would be passed on!

It's a pity that the old man can't keep it, the worldly affairs are too ethereal; but my heart is too high, the top of the sky, I can't reach it...
