…

Everyone talked and expressed their feelings about listening to the music.

Senior sister Gao Ying asked: "Does this song "Flowing Water" have any allusions?"

"Yes, there is indeed an allusion. If you are willing to listen, I will tell you."

"Okay, okay." Shuangqin was the first to clap, and everyone applauded enthusiastically. Feiguang is a child at heart and likes to listen to stories, so he is the one who claps the loudest.

Yan Zixiu spoke like a storyteller: "It is said that there was a time when Bao Shu's gold was divided, but who could tell the difference between Bo Yaqin! Today's dealings are as cunning as ghosts, and the lakes and seas are empty. It is said that there were two people in the past, one named Guan Yiwu, and the other

My name is Bao Shuya..."

After he finished telling the story of Guan Bao's distribution of gold, he brought up the story of Yu Boya being ordered to go on an envoy to the Chu State. On the way back, Master Yu encountered a storm and parked his orchid boat under the cliff. After the rain, the sky cleared and the moonlight was bright, Yu Boya burned incense and played the harp.

, to entertain feelings. Suddenly one of the strings broke. Yu Boya knew that someone was eavesdropping, so he sent people to catch the eavesdropper.

Shuangqin asked curiously: "Why would the strings break if someone eavesdropped?"

"This is the principle of induction. There is interaction between people's souls. The way of music is very subtle. If you learn the piano, you will gradually understand it."

Fei Guang said: "Junior Sister Shuangqin, don't interrupt the story!"

"Slightly, slightly..." Shuangqin felt extremely safe at Yan Zixiu's place, and was not afraid of flying lights at all, so she made a face at him.

Fei Guang blew his beard and stared, unable to do anything to her.

Yan Zixiu knew that although Feiguang was a big boss of Yuanying, he was just a child who liked to play and would not really hurt Shuangqin.

He smiled and continued to tell the story: "The attendant was planning to catch the eavesdropper. Suddenly there was someone on the shore who claimed to be a woodcutter. He was not a bad person. He only happened to hear the sound of the piano because he encountered a wind and rain on the way to collect firewood and took shelter here.

Yu Boya despised the woodcutter in his heart, and felt that a man from the mountains knew nothing and was worthy of playing the piano. However, he did not embarrass him and ordered people to let him go. But the woodcutter said something, which made Yu Boya change his mind."

"The woodcutter said that in a town with ten houses, there must be loyalty. There are gentlemen inside the door, and gentlemen outside the door. Why do you think country people are not worthy of listening to the piano? Just like in the world of immortality, it is easy to look down on those with big fists as small ones.

Yes, in fact this kind of arrogance is unreasonable. Is force the only criterion for measuring people?"

Yan Zixiu does not tell stories for the sake of telling stories, nor does he play the piano for the sake of playing the piano. He is popularizing values ​​and hopes that people can treat each other equally.

"When Yu Boya heard that it made sense, he invited the woodcutter to board the boat. Yu Boya was a high official, and his followers all told the woodcutter to kowtow and be respectful. But the woodcutter bowed calmly and did not say anything.

Kneel down. At this time, Yu Boya still looked down upon him, so he let the woodcutter sit wherever he wanted. Then he asked him if he knew the Yao Qin. But the woodcutter answered fluently and explained the origin of the Yao Qin clearly."

Lidan asked: "What is the origin of this Yaoqin? Can Senior Brother Yan tell us?"

Gao Ying was afraid that Fei Guang would talk nonsense again, so she echoed: "Junior brother Yan, please tell me about the Yao Qin."

"Okay. There was an ancient saint who saw the essence of the five stars of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water in the sky flying down to the sycamore tree and attracting the phoenix. The sage saw that the sycamore tree was a good material in the tree, containing the essence of creation and worthy of creation.

It was for elegant music. So I took the middle section, soaked it in long flowing water for seventy-two days, and cut it into a musical instrument. Because what I was playing was the Yaochi in the sky.

The music is called Yao Qin. Yao Qin is three feet six inches long, measuring 365 degrees of the circumference; eight inches wide at the front, measuring eight sections; four inches wide at the back, measuring four o'clock; and two inches thick, measuring four o'clock.

Liangyi. There is a golden boy's head, a jade girl's waist, an immortal's back, a dragon pond, a phoenix marsh, a jade stone, and a golden emblem. There are twelve emblems, according to the twelfth month; there is also a middle emblem, according to the leap month..."

"There are six taboos on this qin, seven taboos for not playing. What are the six taboos? One taboo for severe cold, two taboos for severe heat, three taboos for strong winds, four taboos for heavy rain, five taboos for thunder, and six taboos for heavy snow. What are the seven taboos for not playing? Those who listen to the funeral do not play.

Don’t play when the music is coming, don’t play if things are too long, don’t play if you are not clean, don’t play if your clothes are disheveled, don’t play if you don’t burn incense, don’t play if you don’t meet a close friend...”

Everyone had never heard of this before, and they all felt that Senior Brother Yan, Junior Brother Yan, and Xiaoyou Yan were really knowledgeable.

"Junior Brother Yan, how do you say you won't play until you meet a close friend?" Gao Ying asked.

"Take today as an example. All of the students who came here love to learn and are literati. If some people came here who like to fight and kill, I would not play "Flowing Water"."

Fei Guang was a little embarrassed. He did like to fight and kill, but today was okay. At least he came here to study: "Junior Brother Yan is right, you are right. We want to be literati."

Gao Ying has always been troubled by her junior brother's out-of-touch temperament. Now that she heard that he wanted to be a scholar, she felt funny and happy at the same time. It seems that she wants her junior brother and Yan Xiaoyou to come and go frequently.

Li Dan asked: "Brother Yan, what happened after the woodcutter told Yu Boya these things?"

Yan Zixiu said: "After talking about it, although Yu Boya was a little surprised, he was still afraid that he was not good at memorizing questions, so he wanted to continue to test him."

"What is the science of remembering questions?"

"The study of memorizing questions means that I only know some superficial knowledge without in-depth research. After reading two books, I feel that I understand it, but in fact I only know some knowledge. For example, people who make alchemy read "The Alchemy of the Tang Dynasty"

, I know it by heart, but I haven’t refined a furnace of elixirs yet. This is the art of memorizing questions.”

"I understand, please continue, Senior Brother Yan."

"Then Yu Boya said, let me play a song to see if you can understand it. Then he rearranged the broken strings, thinking about the majestic mountains, and played a song. After listening to it, the woodcutter exclaimed, "Play it.

It’s so good. It’s winding and green. Master Yu is thinking about the mountains, right? Yu Boya

He didn't say anything and played another song. The woodcutter said, "It's a majestic whirlpool and an endless stream. Master Yu is thinking about the flowing water, right?" Yu Boya was shocked in his heart.

The more they speculated, the more they became sworn brothers with different surnames. We agreed to meet again next year. This is how we became close friends."

Feiguang felt a little bit: "One is a high official and the other is a commoner. They have become friends for many years, brothers with different surnames. It is really a legend."

Zhilin said: "It's like the master Yuanying and the little Qi practitioner are brothers. It's incredible."

Gao Ying smiled after hearing this. She is the boss of Yuanying, isn't she also equal to Yan Zixiu, a small Qi practitioner?

She smiled and asked: "Junior Brother Yan, then when we listen to you playing the piano and see those scenes, are we considered close friends?"

"It can be said to be a bosom friend to a certain extent. Because there are deep and shallow bosom friends. If you continue to go deeper and understand the nature of spiritual awareness I am talking about, and realize the equanimity and partnership, then it is completely true."

Gao Ying clenched her fists and said firmly: "Then I will study hard."
