This piano is great!
Gu Yanfei took the zither from the table and held it in his hand. It was a black lacquered paulownia wood zither with a gold emblem and jade pegs, and small snake-belly fractures all over the body. The seven silk threads sparkled with a cold light like frost and snow.
“Zheng!”
Gu Yanfei casually stroked the strings of the zither again, then sat down on the ground casually, placing the zither on his crossed legs.
Originally, it was Wei Jiaoniang who was going to compete in piano playing, so Gu Yanfei was completely unprepared.
She tried the sound, and a clear and ethereal sound flowed out from under her fingers, like flying on a sword, soaring into the sky and placing herself above the clouds.
That familiar feeling came back instantly.
In her previous life, she couldn't play the piano at all.
She knows nothing about music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, or the six arts of a gentleman.
Even after she was brought back to the capital, she tried hard to study, but her progress was not satisfactory. She had missed the best age for enlightenment, and it was impossible for her to learn in just a few months what others had learned for more than ten years. Instead, she just swallowed it whole.
Her music, chess, calligraphy and painting were all taught to her by her master after she was reincarnated into the Yaoling Realm.
Thinking of the past, Gu Yanfei's eyes were full of light and flashes of nostalgia.
They monks are fighting against the heavens.
In all things, practice is the most important. Monks will not spend a lot of time learning useless things like ordinary people.
Although her master taught her various things, what she really devoted her energy to studying were the methods of saving her life.
This piano too.
She is a medical practitioner, not a killer, so her master specially taught her the song "Taking the Qingxiao".
The master said that this song would help her save her life and asked her to learn it well.
She learned quickly, but she could never grasp the essence of the second part, even though she had practiced the piece over and over again countless times and her fingers had memorized the melody by heart.
Master said that it was because she lacked experience.
The first part of the music is soothing and refreshing. The sound of the piano gently touches everyone's heartstrings, making people feel as if a fragrance like lotus is blowing in their faces.
Gu Yanfei's expression at this moment was as peaceful and warm as the clear and beautiful piano music, like a beautiful and warm jade statue.
The emperor listened to the music attentively, with an expression of admiration on his face.
He had never heard this song before, but it made people feel peaceful and as if they were in a paradise.
Well, the little girl is good at playing the piano. He thought with a bit of love for her, tapping his fingers lightly on his knees to the rhythm of the piano.
Fengyang, who was sitting on a tea table with the emperor, was indifferent and drank tea by himself, listening with one ear and out with the other...
Gu Yanfei's words echoed in my ears: "War should not be a love story of separation."
“War should be ‘Taking the Sky’.”
Feng Yang sneered indifferently, the wrinkles at the corners of his lips became deeper, revealing a bit of arrogance and defiance.
Is this war? This tune is like soaring into the sky, with a sense of freedom in looking down upon the world with a smile.
They are just kids playing house, thinking that war means one man can block the passage of ten thousand.
Fengyang took another sip of tea leisurely, and then he heard the sound of the piano suddenly become cold, as if a small stone was casually thrown into the lake, or as if a feather arrow suddenly cut through the cold air of the dark night.
The gentle piano sound gradually turned into a high-pitched and passionate one.
"..." Fengyang raised his eyebrows slightly, put down the teacup, and his eyes became sharp, like a sword in a sheath being pulled out an inch, revealing a bit of cold light.
Gu Yanfei's expression did not change, she still had that faint smile on her face, but looking at her at this moment, she gave people a heroic feeling.
She was completely immersed in the music.
Just as Master said, this song saved her life at the critical moment.
She remembered that year, she took a group of younger brothers and sisters in the sect to a secret place. One of the younger sisters was lucky enough to get a rare golden leaf spiritual grass, which attracted the attention of others, who intended to kill people for the treasure.
Their Tianwen Sect is a medical sect with weak combat power. Several junior brothers and sisters have just started to learn, and their cultivation level is only at the Qi training stage. Although she is at the Golden Core stage, the opponent has two Golden Cores.
It is difficult for her to protect her fellow students by herself.
Later, she borrowed her junior sister's zither and played the song "Taqingxiao" with all her might. It was not until she was on the battlefield and faced the crisis of life and death that she truly understood the second part of the song, the sound of killing.
The first paragraph is about "ritual" and the second paragraph is about "soldiers".
Be polite before using force.
Since the enemy is unwilling to retreat, she will fight until he surrenders.
That time, she used the sound of her piano as a sword to pierce through the golden cores of the two Jindan stage cultivators, completely destroying their cultivation.
“Zheng!”
The sound of the piano is passionate and rising, like thousands of troops galloping on the battlefield, like the rumbling of the Yellow River, like a violent storm, thunder and lightning, resounding between heaven and earth...
Fengyang sat up straight at once, his whole body standing upright like a spear, his lips tightly pursed, with a complicated expression.
Her old but clear eyes stared straight at Gu Yanfei who was playing the piano. Her heartstrings were touched by the distant strings and her eyes gradually became dazed.
She was looking at Gu Yanfei, but it seemed that she was not looking at Gu Yanfei at all. Her nostalgic gaze passed through the girl playing the piano in front of her and looked towards a long, long time ago...
For a moment, she seemed to have returned to the glorious days long ago.
She fought her way through the enemy lines, charging into battle. Around her were mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Even she herself didn't know which bodies were of the enemy and which were of her comrades...
Feng Yang's deep eyes were tinged with a hint of sadness, with a little light in them.
She recalled the words her father often said when she followed him to the battlefield: Loyal bones are buried everywhere in the green mountains, why should we return wrapped in horsehide! The voices, smiles, gestures and movements of those old friends flashed through her mind quickly, and the faint nostalgia and light sorrow intertwined in her eyes and spread in her heart.
All the old friends have passed away, leaving only her old bones alive.
The sound of the piano is so sharp that it shakes the earth.
The more Yu Chaoyun listened, the more his brows furrowed. He shook his head and sighed.
This song is not good, it is too murderous! The Book of Rites says: A scholar does not put down his zither without a reason. They learn to play the zither to cultivate their mind and character, to respect the way and to pursue elegance, not to learn to play such a murderous song.
This piece of music is filled with murderous intent, and seems to be a fight to the death, which completely goes against the original intention of playing the zither!
It’s not right. It’s really not right!
Miss Zeng showed disdain on her face, exchanged glances with Miss Zhao, and began to formulate her words in her mind.
The song also reached its third section at this time.
The melody changes from grand to sad and sorrowful, but there is a hint of vitality hidden in the sadness.
It was like a phoenix rising from the ashes, a phoenix gaining new life from the ashes! Feng Yang's eyes widened, his gaze was dazed, his chest rose and fell sharply, and his mood gradually withdrew from the sorrow.
The old friends are gone and the new dynasty is established.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, so many years have passed. She is still alive and has witnessed the rise of Dajing with her own eyes! The emperor beside her was also listening attentively. His hands on his knees had long stopped tapping, and he sat there in a daze, motionless, as if his mind had been pulled away.
After the song ended, the sound of the piano stopped, but the lingering sound made people's hearts tremble.
There was an indescribable atmosphere in the air, as if an invisible net was entangled in everyone.
Wei Jiaoniang, Lu Qin and the others all felt as if they were unaware of the passage of time, and their hearts were empty, as if they had had an extremely real dream. They looked at Gu Yanfei in amazement, unable to speak for a moment.
On the other side, Miss Zeng and her friends finally waited until the song was over.
Miss Zeng held the handkerchief tightly, impatiently wanting to comment, but she heard another female voice sigh before her: "Good!"
The majestic female voice was high and clear, resounding powerfully throughout the house.
Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice, but saw Fengyang, who was sitting next to the emperor, clapping his hands heavily twice.
The sadness and melancholy that had appeared on that old and heroic face were no longer there. He now looked full of energy and there was a hint of joy between his brows. He seemed to have suddenly become several years younger.
Seeing this, Miss Zeng and Miss Zhao could only shut their mouths in disappointment and swallow back the words that were about to come out of their mouths.
Gu Yanfei stood up with the zither in her arms, and bowed to Fengyang with a smile: "Thank you, Princess Grand Princess, for your praise."
Wei Jiaoniang's eyes became brighter, sparkling like gems.
"It's magnificent and soul-stirring, and you play it well!" Feng Yang laughed loudly, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Gu Yanfei with admiration and interest in his eyes.
“As the old saying goes: If you don’t see the mountains, you don’t know the plains; if you don’t see the sea, you don’t know the streams.”
"Girl, have you ever been to a battlefield and experienced desperate situations?"
Only by seeing the tragic battlefield with one's own eyes can one know how difficult it is to live in the peaceful and prosperous times today, and what it means to moan without reason! "Yes." Gu Yanfei smiled and nodded, and put the piano back on the piano table. Every move was smooth and neat.
She had indeed been to the battlefield in person. When she was in the Yaoling Realm, she had followed her master and other human cultivators to fight against the demons at Jiangui Lake. At that time, her cultivation was shallow, but her master still took her with him.
She was a medical practitioner and not the main force in the war between humans and demons, but she did not hide comfortably in the rear. She had killed demons with her own hands and witnessed many human cultivators’ souls being destroyed.
In this battle, blood flowed like a river and corpses piled up like mountains, but they, the human race, won and drove the demon army back to the west of the lake.
Feng Yang didn't ask any more questions. He stared at Gu Yanfei deeply and praised him straightforwardly, "Very good."
Seeing this, Miss Zeng and Miss Zhao could only shut their mouths in disappointment and swallow back the words that were about to come out of their mouths.
Gu Yunmeng, who was sitting in the southwest corner, kept looking at Gu Yanfei, as if thinking about something.
The Queen Mother's summons today came suddenly, and Gu Yunyan had no prior knowledge of it. Only now did she gradually come to her senses. It turned out that she was summoning the eldest prince to choose a wife.
What Gu Yanfei and Yu Chaoyun were fighting for was not the zither, but the emperor's favor.
No wonder Gu Yanfei repeatedly provoked the Queen Mother in Shou'an Palace just now. So this is the case.
Because she was about to marry Prince Kang, Gu Yanfei had her eyes on the position of the eldest prince's consort and wanted to compete with her...
