Chapter 265 Love but not (2)
"The autographs of past island owners and the martial arts canons of hundreds of Kyushu schools are all hidden in the piano room of the tomb, five floors above the left column of the stone cabinet."
Shu'er silently recited the letter Liu wrote to her, walked around the fifty pianos in the piano room, stopped on the left side of the stone cabinet, turned to Dongfang behind her and said: "Come and hold the candle for me.
Find you a treasure."
Dongfang Sui happily took the candle and illuminated Shu'er obediently, without asking what Shu'er was looking for. Anyway, there are treasures everywhere in the ancient tomb of King Zhou, and his sister has always had a good taste.
Shu'er squatted down. When the candlelight illuminated the third floor, there was no need to rummage. Different from other parchment volumes, bamboo slips and old paper books, a brand-new book was lying quietly in the gray stone grid, with a scroll beside it.
A piece of Purple Sichuan mahogany paper.
Shu'er first took out the Zichuan mahogany paper and slowly unfolded it. As she expected, there were several eye-catching characters on it: "Jiuzhou Hundred Schools of Martial Arts Grand Ceremony", and the signature was "Shu Wang Wuxie" in thick and powerful fonts.
Full of life.
That year, Shu'er met the King of Shu for the first time in the Yaowang Mountain, and remembered that before he left, he mentioned the words in the "Martial Arts Classic" compiled by Zhuge and his son. It turned out that they and their son really brought Wu Xie's words back with them.
Shu'er took down the heavy book. Although there was no word on the title page, she knew without opening it that this was the work of her adoptive father who had traveled around the world for more than thirty years. It was compiled by her husband and brought together hundreds of martial arts schools in Kyushu.
"Martial Arts Grand Canon".
During the Qingshitai martial arts competition to select generals, Shu'er only received the "Qi Guojuan", but the book contained martial arts moves from various places in Kyushu since the collapse of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Shu'er held the book in both hands and said to Dongfang Sui: "This is the "Kyushu Hundred Schools of Martial Arts Grand Ceremony". Your brother is afraid that we will be bored on the island for a long time, so let us practice the swordsmanship of the hundreds of schools."
Dongfang Sui immediately threw the candlestick in his hand to Lin Ying, staring excitedly at the unopened book as if his eyes were open at the sight of money.
Lin Ying didn't have much interest in martial arts, so she used the white candle in her hand to light the candles on the three walls of the piano room one by one, so that the two siblings could read classics in the more open tomb.
, instead of just borrowing a candle like a thief.
At this moment, the lights in the piano room were brightly lit, and Lin Ying blew out the white candle in her hand, for fear of accidentally burning the classics in this room to ashes. When the two siblings were looking through the "Martial Arts Canon", he looked around carefully
The paintings and calligraphy on the walls, including flowers and birds, figures, mountains and rivers, are all exquisite and unique, and none of them are ordinary. Each painting and calligraphy is printed with two vermilion seals, one is the character "forget" in Zhou Wen's small seal script, and the other is Zhou Wen's small regular script.
The word "Xian", the two characters live next to each other, which shows their closeness.
Lin Ying sighed. King Zhou Le's name was "Ning Wang". These calligraphy and paintings must be his masterpieces because of his unique brushwork, so they are printed with the word "Wang". However, Zhuge Suxian loved King Zhou Le all his life but never got Zhou Le.
The king didn't respond at all, so he had to print one of his own names, "Xian", on the signature of his calligraphy and painting. Although Zhuge Suxian had been with King Zhou Le for half his life, he was always unable to agree because of his body.
This is the cruelest "not getting love" in the world.
Seeing Lin Ying sighing at the flowers and birds in the painting for no reason, Shu'er waved to him and said: "Xiao Ying, don't you want to see the manuscripts of the previous island owners? They are all here. Congrong said in the letter that these manuscripts,
You can see it all."
Lin Ying walked back to Shu'er and Dongfang Sui, and was about to reach out to pick up a manuscript, when she saw Dongfang Sui curved his mouth, rolled his eyes, and said to him with a smile: "Cousin, don't you claim to have a photographic memory?"
'Really? You haven't read these manuscripts, and I haven't read them either. Let's compete to see who can memorize them first..."
Before Dongfang Sui finished his sentence, Lin Ying took out a parchment and interrupted: "Little Dongfang, since you insist on provocation, this is the volume." Sister Shu'er walked around the piano room.
Kung Fu, you and I watch it together, whoever remembers more will win."
Shu'er looked at Dongfang Sui angrily and said, "Little Dongfang, if you lose, you will never be disrespectful to your cousin again."
Dongfang raised his eyebrows suspiciously: "What if I win?"
Lin Yingxiao looked at him and said, "If you can win, I will give up the position of Prince of Chu to you."
Dongfang Sui opened his eyes wide: "Is it true or false?"
Lin Ying stretched out her palm: "A gentleman's words."
Dongfang Sui immediately slapped him: "No matter how many horses there are, you are not allowed to cheat!"
Shu'er glared at the two of them, put his hands behind his back, took a step forward, and said, "When I come back from a walk, I will take this parchment away from your hands."
Shu'er walked, a little slower than usual, admiring the paintings and calligraphy of King Zhou on the wall.
Lin Ying opened the parchment scroll, and the first thing she saw were three clear and small regular script characters: "No ambition."
Dongfang Sui complained in a low voice: "What the hell?" and began to memorize it carefully.
Shu'er came back from walking around, immediately took the parchment away from the two of them, and asked Dongfang Sui: "The time has come, how many have you memorized?"
Dongfang Sui sighed in frustration: "What the hell! If I had known this, I might as well have memorized the "Martial Arts Classic", at least I can have some advantages."
Lin Ying smiled and said: "Then I'll let you, you can recite it first and listen to it."
Dongfang Sui said calmly: "Since the bet of the crown prince position is very tempting, I will not be polite to you, cousin. I will recite it first." Then he cleared his throat and stumbled to recite: "If you fail to achieve your ambition, Zhuge will forget.
Immortal. I hate you and forget about it. I will never get this wish in my life. It’s not true. Why can’t others judge right from wrong because of their ignorance? All the sages in ancient times were lonely. I am not a sage and I have no fault. Why is this life in vain? Why can’t I get what I want in my heart?
.Sorrowful, not returning, my beloved. Sad and resentful, the orchid jade tree withered and left its remains. With bare hands... with bare hands, I painted the piano strings... playing the fairy rhyme, flowing clouds... flowing clouds with black hair... what stage
?What is Taiqingke, what...what is King Zhou Lewang...what..."
Lin Ying could not help but laugh softly when she saw Dongfang frowning in confusion.
Dongfang Sui was dissatisfied and said: "What a mess, I simply don't understand it! And shouldn't this kind of acid words be written by Senior Suxian to King Zhou Le? Who is Wangxian?"
It was rare for Shu'er to see Dongfang Xin, who had always been full of confidence, so frustrated, so he chuckled and explained: "Senior Wangxian is the adopted son of Senior Suxian and King Zhou Le, and is also the first owner of this Xuanji Island."
Lin Ying said clearly: "In this case, perhaps this article "Unsatisfied" was written by Senior Wangxian to King Zhou Le on behalf of Senior Suxian."
Dongfang Sui asked provocatively: "This article is 'unsatisfactory'? Tsk tsk, can my cousin memorize the entire article in such a short period of time?"
Lin Ying smiled and glanced at Dongfang Sui, then walked leisurely to a lyre and sat down, rubbing her hands until they became warmer, then she gently placed her ten fingers on the seven cold strings, raised her head and said to Dongfang Sui:
"When we were in Yuling, you always asked me for advice on piano skills. However, piano skills do not lie in technique, but in the heartstrings. Only when the music can make people immerse themselves in the scene can they move people's hearts. This piece of "Unsatisfactory" can be memorized like you just did.
When you come out, there is no emotion, and you naturally don’t know what it means. You might as well put it to a song and recite it, so that you can appreciate its profound meaning."
Dongfang Sui put his hands on his hips, looked down at Lin Ying who was kneeling behind the lyre, tilted his head and said, "Since what my cousin said is so brilliant, I'm all ears, little Dongfang."
Shu'er seemed to suddenly see Zhuge Rongrong who was playing the piano for her back then. She couldn't help feeling sad and looked at Lin Ying silently.
Lin Ying lowered her eyebrows and played, and the sound of the piano echoed in the ancient tomb of King Zhou, expressing sadness and emotion.
The snow on the isolated island seemed to have drifted into the tomb. Weaving his thoughts into the music of the piano, he closed his eyes and whispered:
Hate and forget?
This wish cannot be obtained in your lifetime!
Is it Yefeye?
How can others judge right from wrong due to their ignorance?
All the sages in ancient times were lonely,
I am neither a sage nor a sage, and I have no fault.
Why is this life so wasted?
Why can't you get what you want?
…
How sad!
Never return, my beloved.
How sad and resentful!
The Zhilan jade tree withered and left its remains.
Painting the piano with simple hands and playing the fairy rhyme,
Flowing clouds and black hair fall from the high platform,
You are a guest from the Nine Heavens and beyond,
I don’t blame you for falling into the mortal world and shattering your country!
…
King of music, King of music!
When the Zhou Dynasty is destroyed, where will you be buried?
Rather forget than forget!
You have passed away, and so has my heart.
Sit back and watch the world's affairs,
The long sword must eventually be used as a kitchen knife,
When I get drunk, I forget the history of Kyushu,
Don’t ask where there are isolated islands in the East China Sea!
…
After playing the song, Dongfang was dumbfounded, and Shu'er quietly shed tears.
It turns out that the sentence "I want to return to the countryside and live leisurely in the countryside, stand by and watch the world's affairs" by my adoptive father comes from here. It turns out that the sentence "I stand by and watch the world's affairs" once said by Rongrong also comes from here.
It's a pity that neither foster father nor Nong Rong could sit back and watch the world's affairs like Senior Xixian and King Zhou Le.
