This is--

However, when he wanted to take a closer look, the music score had been blown away by the wind and no one knew where it went.

Liu Jingran thought to himself that he had read all the musical scores in the world and there was no song in the world that he could not play, except those that had long been lost.

However, from the quick glance just now, he was very sure that he had never seen that piano score.

So, what Shen Yizhi said might be true? Realizing this, Liu Jing regretted it deeply. Why was he so impulsive just now?

I don’t know if I can find that piano score again!

"Monkey, come on, help me get my things back." Liu Jingran said to the little monkey.

The monkey was very human-like, and because it was too human-like, it even knew how to take advantage of the situation. It shouted and gestured at him, and its target was obviously the gourd hanging around his waist.

He picked the gourd at first sight when he passed by a family's yard one day and saw a row of gourds hanging under the eaves.

This gourd is not some rare treasure, it is just grown by ordinary farmers, but its color is uniform, the navel at the bottom is small and straight, and its shape is round and cute.

After buying it from the farmer, he used it as a wine vessel. He filled it with wine, hung the gourd around his waist, and took it out to play with it whenever he had nothing to do.

Now, decades later, the surface of the gourd has become oily from his playing with it, as if it were covered with a layer of paste.

Of course, what the monkey was interested in was not the gourd, but the wine inside the gourd.

It is not easy to get a sip of wine in these deep mountains and forests, so Liu Jingran is reluctant to drink it on weekdays, but compared with wine, he is more obsessed with the piano.

In order to retrieve the music score, he had no choice but to sell the wine shop.

He took off the gourd from his waist and stuffed it into the monkey's arms, "Just one sip, drink it and help me get my things back quickly."

The monkey nodded hurriedly, but unfortunately its mouth was completely different from what Liu Jingran understood! It pulled out the cork of the gourd, pointed the mouth of the gourd at its open mouth, and poured the wine directly into it.

One gulp and the gourd was empty.

Liu Jingran: “…”

Fortunately, the monkey was quite trustworthy. He drank the wine, burped, threw the gourd back to him, turned around and jumped out of the window.

You have to know that this is halfway up the mountain, at least several thousand meters away from the bottom. Wouldn't the monkey be killed if he jumped?

However, Liu Jingran did not show the slightest worry.

There was no other reason. He had seen the monkeys' ability to climb and jump between the cliffs. Anyone could fall down, but it wouldn't.

Sure enough, after falling dozens of meters, the monkey nimbly grabbed the vines between the cliffs and swung away.

While waiting, Liu Jingran was thinking about the music score and didn't even have the heart to play the piano. He just kept looking down.

Unfortunately, there was so much fog below that I couldn’t see anything clearly.

About half an hour later, the monkey came back with something in its mouth.

Liu Jingran snatched it away.

However, to his disappointment, the monkey did find his things, but the music score had been wet and became fragments.

The writing on it is also blurred.

Liu Jingran fell to the ground and hit himself on the chest a few times. He regretted it so much!

Wait, it doesn’t matter if this piano score is destroyed, Shen Yizi must have the original one!

Mingyue Villa, will open on the first day of October, right? What day is today? It seems like there are only a few days left.

Liu Jingran immediately stood up, packed up his things, and headed down the mountain to the address on the invitation.

As the Guqin Saint and the leader of the Guqin world, countless people want to become Liu Jingran's disciples every year. Some of them are sincere, while others have ulterior motives.

Those who truly love the piano are naturally those who want to learn to play the piano to a higher level.

People with ulterior motives may be after the political resources behind him, or they may want to gain a good reputation through him.

But no matter what their purpose was, these people were particularly concerned about Liu Jingran.

Almost at the moment he came down the mountain and appeared on the official road, many people got the news.

They were naturally curious about Liu Jingran's sudden trip down the mountain, and followed him one after another. Those who couldn't follow also sent servants to find out where this zither master was going.

At the same time, in the imperial capital, Qiu Shui Pavilion.

Yu Linglong, the top singer and dancer, also received an invitation.

The pipa master Haitang from Cangchunwu, the master of jade carving Wen Daoming, the master of perfume making Chu Bitao...

In addition to sending invitations to Liu Jingran, the master of the zither, Shen Yizi also sent invitations to the masters of chess, calligraphy, painting, dance, music, medicine and other fields.

The situation when they received the invitation was similar to Liu Jingran's.

And the things mentioned in the post are largely things they cannot refuse.

Anyone who can reach the top in a field has more or less obsessions.

For example, Liu Jingran has remained single for more than 40 years just to play the piano. In his eyes, his beloved piano is his wife.

In order to keep the zither company, he lived in seclusion in the mountains, leading a life that ordinary people would consider austere. In order to improve his zither skills, he traveled thousands of miles to learn from a master. In order to collect a long-lost zither score, he spent all his family wealth...

How could such a fool not achieve great success in the art of playing the zither? This was true for Liu Jingran, as well as for others like Yu Linglong, Le Haitang, and Wen Daoming.

These people would most likely rush to Mingyue Villa for the things mentioned in the invitation! Shen Yizhi knew this very well, so he used this trick to "seduce" them over.

The invitations were sent out, but those guests were scattered all over the country, and some were even in other countries. The distances were quite far. How could we ensure that they would arrive in Lijiazhuang smoothly on the first day of October?

To this end, Shen Yizhi planned to divide his troops into three groups.

Along the way was Xia Ming, she lent him the Sky Boat and asked him to pick up those masters who had received the invitation and were willing to come. She also gave him a lot of talismans so that he could deal with emergencies.

At the same time, he also gave him the little frog.

It’s not that he was afraid that Xia Ming would run away with Tianzhou and let Xiaowa supervise him.

Not to mention that Xia Ming had been branded with her spiritual consciousness, even if he ran far away, it would only take her a thought to take his life.

Take Tianzhou for example, it wholeheartedly recognized Qingbao as its master. Xia Ming could only control it temporarily, if he took it to escape, it would turn around and abandon him and run back.

So Shen Yizi had no worries in this regard at all.

I’m just afraid that Xia Ming might encounter a strong enemy, and having a little frog by his side can provide him with some support.

The second one is Luo Yaoyao.

At first he was not very willing. Of course, his reluctance was only to gain benefits from Shen Yizi.
