In Taimiao, Xun Yi and Emperor Chengyuan each thought about their own things. A cool breeze blew, awakening Emperor Chengyuan. He directly pulled Xun Yi to a temporary room in his bedroom. It was difficult for Shen Wei and the other two to get close, so they could only guard the door.

"You have seen me on the road, and I don't hide it from you. Indeed, Liu is my daughter. The dragon seed that was accidentally left behind when you went with your father to go with Huajiu."

"Cough cough...cough cough..." Xun Yi almost choked when he drank water: "Your Majesty talked about his romantic affairs, can you not bring your father with me?"

Emperor Cheng Yuan ignored him and went straight to the point: "Are you sure you saw the royal jade pendant?"

"Of course, I will admit my mistakes in the royal family's badge?" Xun Yi's thoughts flew. Seeing Emperor Cheng Yuan frowning, he asked carefully: "Isn't this given by His Majesty?"

"I know the importance of it, how could I come forward easily?" Emperor Cheng Yuan glanced at the young man in front of him and stopped talking.

This time, Emperor Chengyuan went to Longchuan County, one for his illegitimate daughter, the other for his personal investigation of the destruction of Longchuan County, and the third was to go to the Xun family to find the whereabouts of the ancient Zhao Secret Library.

It’s a pity that the Ancient Zhao Secret Library is at the bottom of the Xun family’s old house, and outsiders cannot notice it at all. The matter in Longchuan County has been settled. As for the illegitimate daughter, Emperor Chengyuan only secretly visited the distance and did not step forward in person.

"You didn't get Liu Yao's name?"

"No." Emperor Chengyuan sent a warlock to inquire, and soon after, news came. The Liu family was in a mess and the three of them disappeared.

"I have never known the whereabouts of this daughter. It was not until I heard the rumors at the beginning of the year that I took advantage of Jing Si's opportunity to visit her privately. Now it seems that she was secretly punished by a traitor."

Xun Yi was silent, and he gradually figured it out. He could mistakenly think that Emperor Cheng Yuan visited in a private place, so could others not think of it? Adding that jade pendant, I am afraid that he would make a fuss about this illegitimate daughter.

"Forget it, Zuo just recognizes his next daughter, fortunately he is not a son." Emperor Cheng Yuan sighed to the sky: "If you see a move, you should just pretend that you don't know about this, so as not to involve your Xun family."

"Oh." Xun Yi retreated silently, and a palace servant led the three of them to Kaguraji.

Kaguraji is a newly built institution. A palace was selected as the place where musicians were stationed, and corresponding musicians were selected from the court music office to arrange and combine them.

The music of sacrifice to the gods has its own rules, with eight sound instruments as the music, ranging from sixteen people to five hundred people, practicing the music of ensemble.

Xun Yi came to Kagurasi, and immediately four priests and a musician official came to greet him.

The four priests were from Taimiao, and their expressions were calm. But the Le Dian official was born in the Le Dian Office. After seeing Xun Yi, he looked flattering. This was the head of the Xun family. As long as he nodded slightly, his position could only be mentioned. The highest-grade Le Dian official in the Le Dian Office was only the fifth rank, and this Le Dian official was only the sixth rank.

"Young Master is finally here." The official invited Xun Yi to enter and looked at the two great men beside Xun Yi. The two were full of evil spirits, and the official did not dare to say much, so he asked the three of them to enter and sit.

"Your Majesty has an order, please supervise the Music Department. The young man and the four ritual officials all obey your orders." The Le Dian official introduced himself. His surname was Wu and his name was Wu Ziye.

"Mr. Wu doesn't need to be very polite. He is wearing white dicks. He should not do this." In this way, Xun Yi sat in the main seat as if he should. He scanned the hall, where various musical instruments were placed, and various musicians stood beside the instruments waiting for him to speak.

There is a chime bell on each side of the hall, a bronze bell at the door, and three big drums on the other side. In addition, there are earthen oaks, jade chimes, stringed zithers, guzhengs, wooden scepters, yellow shengs, panflutes and other musical instruments.

Although Hou Cheng inherited the artifacts in charge of rituals and music, he knew nothing about music. He only saw sixty-four people in the hall: "No one practices martial arts, it seems that they are all ordinary people, so it is not to be afraid."

"Sixty-four people, eight people in each of the eight sounds?" Xun Yi took a brief look and gradually understood: "This time he used the ensemble music of sixty-four people?"

"Yes. Taichang Temple has already listed the procedures." Wu Ziye presented the copy to Xun Yi.

Shen Wei glanced at it secretly and couldn't help but talk. The whole set of rituals was very complicated, from the beginning of the banners, wooden carts, to the jade coins and silk used for sacrifices, all the sacrifices for animals, to the later great joy, divine wine, etc. All of this was too troublesome. All of these were prepared in advance, and Taichang Temple gave Kaguraji three songs.

"One is the "Dahui Shangmu" which is played simply with chimes, the other is the "Da Ling Pilgrimage Music" which is played in ensemble, and the other is the "Dalong God Music" which is dedicated to offering sacrifices to the sky." Xun Yi smiled bitterly after reading the list.

"If Li Laoqi doesn't cheat me, is he unhappy?" Dahui Shangle Music was a music that Xun Yi heard while worshiping the gods. Later, he asked for the music score to be studied at home. If he used the merit bell, he could play it himself. But in Dazhou, everything was done according to the rules of mortals.

"I heard that "Dahui Shangmu" was spoken by the nobles in the palace, and pointed out that the young master should attend in person." Wu Ziye hesitated and said: "The clock is the ritual of all music. There are not many people in the Music Office who are good at playing chimes, especially for extremely difficult music such as "Dahui Shangmu". Only a few three of the eight musicians we found have played."

"It is extremely difficult to play "Dahui Shangyue". When I was a child, I heard Mr. Zhang Muzi play it once." Xun Yi held his chin and said, "You may invite him again?"

Wu Ziye shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Mr. Zhang Muzi traveled around the countries, and we had no chance to meet him. However, Master Liu got advice from Master Zhang and could play."

At this time, a gentle musician stood up at the chime on the right and saw Xun Yi.

"Have we seen it?" Xun Yi saw this person and thought about it carefully: "When I listened to Mr. Zhang Muzi's performance, it seemed like you were playing next to him?"

"I haven't seen you for ten years, but it's rare for the young master to remember it." Master Liu said: "I remember that the young master asked for music scores from Master Zhang, and the young master learned the voice of Zhong Lu. I wonder how much do I remember this "Dahui Shangle Music"?"

"I can play "Dahui Shangmu". Xun Yi was full of confidence. He tried to play this music when he was in the underworld. However, he used a magical artifact that time, and now he used a mortal chime. I don't know if it is feasible.

Upon hearing this, Master Liu's expression relaxed: "The Great Hui Shang Yue" requires fifty chimes to be played. According to estimates, the four people can barely control it."

After pondering for a while, Xun Yi said to others: "You can play "The Pilgrimage of the Great Spirit" first, let me listen to the sound. Let's talk about "The Music of the Great Hui" again."

The musicians sat down and started playing.

At the beginning, it started with the bronze bell. As the first sounded, it symbolized the beginning of the music of sacrifice to the gods. At a specific time and rhythm, the bells sounded one after another. When the third bell sounded, the chime group next to it began to accompany the accompaniment. The crisp and low chimes and the bronze bell cooperated until the seventh sound, the drum sound began to echo. By the ninth sound, ancient music such as Qin and Zheng were played one after another.

The musicians rehearsed for three days, and gradually became a scale and cooperated closely. Xun Yi listened, and occasionally hit the beat with a fixed cloud hammer. After the song ended, he pointed at the two people playing the pan flute next to him.

Pan flutes were said to be "Linglun's flute" in ancient times. They made a combination instrument with uneven bamboo tubes. If Xun Yi had not lost the pan flute in his hand, he would probably have specialized in flute music rather than learning chime music.

"You two replay the third verse of "Pilgrimage"."

After hearing this, the two of them played the third verse again. Without everyone playing, people could suddenly hear the unevenness between them.

"Who played the wrong one, do you understand? Do you do it again."

When they played again, the sound of the two flutes gradually collided.

"The one who plays the yu on the left, yes, it's you. If you play the eighth section again, you have problems with your turn and exhale." Xun Yi has been in contact with ensemble music since he was a child and is very proficient in this aspect. Even a slight flaw can be heard.

Then he pointed to a blower, "Let me go back and ask Lord Wu to change you a dirt box. I listened to the sound quality of the box in your hand that was wrong."

Holding the fixed cloud hammer in his hand, he casually pointed out the shortcomings of many people's performances. He immediately convinced these veteran musicians and dared not look down on this young man.

The next Tianlong Song is barely available. Only in "Dahui Shangle" can't get the corresponding people.

Fifty chimes are used to play Dahui music. A large wooden frame is divided into three layers. Twenty-five medium chimes in the middle and ten large chimes at the bottom. The top layer is divided into two groups, one group of seven-character and one group of eight-character. Four people divide the work, one person plays the long tone, and one person plays the leading voice in the center, and the two have a group of small bells on top.

Xun Yi and the other three didn't know each other at all, and the other three had never cooperated with each other. The four of them had mastered fifty chimes and could barely play them, but they had no sense of cooperation with each other and had no rhythm at all.

"If it doesn't work, the four people can't report it at all." Xun Yi had no choice but to give up and had to plan another plan.
