Chapter 185 Buying one of the selected scores of Yaoqin
The style and scale of Qianbao Pavilion and Ziwu City here are similar, and they are both magnificent and very magnificent.
"What do you two fellow Taoists want to buy?" A young Qi training monk came forward.
"We want to see Yaoqin, but I don't know if there is any?"
"Yes. Please sit down and have a tea. I'll invite deacons who are familiar with this." The young monk led them to a quiet teahouse and went to find someone.
"By the way, if you have "The Tang Dynasty Dan Dian", you will get a copy."
"OK."
After a while, a pretty female cultivator in the early stage of foundation building came over with a storage bag and a jade book. This should be the professional deacon that the young monk mentioned.
She took out a long sycamore wooden box from the storage bag and opened it. Inside was a seven-stringed Yaoqin.
Lidan asked Yan Zixiu: "Do you know how to choose?"
"I know a little bit." Yan Zixiu replied, "A good zither, no evil sound, no anti-finger, no slap, and comfortable feel are the basic requirements. The sound quality is round, thick, loose, not empty and long, but with long charm."
The pretty female cultivator looked at Yan Zixiu in surprise: "Fellow Daoist seems to be quite accomplished in the piano."
"I know a little bit of fur when I am there." Yan Zixiu smiled.
"Fellow Taoist is humble. Please see, this piano panel is made of seventh-level spiritual fir wood and is not easy to deform. The base plate is a seventh-level spiritual tomato wood with a harder material. The lacquer is made of lacquer and deer antler spiritual frost. The string distance is suitable and the emblem position is standard..." The pretty female cultivator introduced the details of the Yaoqin one by one.
Li Dan couldn't understand a single word about her, but Yan Zixiu listened very carefully.
He observed whether the piano surface was flat. Unevenness may cause bad sounds. However, the piano surface should not be too flat, otherwise it will be difficult to press the seventh emblem or above, and it will be difficult to play.
"Can I give it a try?" Yan Zixiu asked. No matter how well he said, it would not work without giving it a try.
"Of course." The pretty cultivator made a sound cover, "This way it won't disturb others. Please."
Yan Zixu took the square tea table empty, first take out the anti-slip thin pad from the wooden box and spread it on the table, then gently take out the Yaoqin, with the head of the zither to the right, and the tail of the zither on the left. Then calm down.
Quietness can be said to be the biggest feature of the piano sound. The piano sound is also called "the sound of the ancient times" and "the sound of heaven and earth". The "quietness" here has two meanings. One is that playing the piano requires a quiet environment, and the other is that the piano player needs a quiet state of mind.
After meditating, he tried the dispersing, overtones and pressing.
Overtones are like heaven, and the sound is like a man, and the sound is scattered is the same as the earth, which is called the three sounds of heaven, earth and man. Therefore, the three sounds of Yaoqin and one instrument can reflect the thoughts of human feelings and also understand the principles of heaven and earth.
The scattered sound of this piano is loud, thick, and as grand as a bronze bell; the pine is deep and vast, making people think of ancient times.
The overtones are transparent like beads, rich and colorful. The high-tone area is light and crisp, like a bell and bell in the wind; the mid-tone area is bright and sonorous, like a jade chime. Overall, it is like the sound of nature, with a sense of coldness into the immortal.
He finally tried pressing the sound again. The pressing sound is also called "Steal Sound". The bass area of this piano is thick and powerful, the midrange area is large, solid and smooth, and the treble area is pointed and crisp. The various sliding sounds in the sound are soft like singing. Sometimes it is like a human speech, sometimes it is like a mood.
Li Dan sighed in her heart, what else does Senior Brother Yan not know about?
"What a good piano!" Yan Zixiu couldn't help but exclaim, "I wonder what the name of this piano is?"
The pretty female monk said, "This piano is called Green Field."
Green Ye? Yan Zixiu suddenly remembered the fairy tale book "The Wizard of Oz" he read when he was a child. When he grew up, he read a classic novel with the same name: "Good name. How many spirit stones?"
"Nine thousand." The pretty female cultivator quoted a price.
"I want it. What is the price of "Da Tang Dan Dian"?"
"Five thousand."
"I want it too."
"Senior Brother Yan, why don't you bargain?" Li Dan was a little anxious.
Yan Zixiu smiled: "These are both worth the money, and bargaining will affect your mood."
He carefully put Yaoqin in the wooden box and took out two top-grade spirit stones and put them on the table. Li Dan thought to himself, Senior Brother Yan is really rich, so he took out 20,000 spirit stones casually.
"There are 14,000 spirit stones in total. At a discount of 20% off, 11,200 spirit stones should be collected. In fact, 20,000 fellow Taoists should be retrieved. 8,800 should be retrieved." Seeing that he was generous and decisive, the pretty female cultivator admired him very much, and took out a small storage bag. "This is the 88 medium-grade spirit stones I have found for you, and there is also a VIP token in it. In the future, when I come to our cabinet to shop, I will be 20% off."
Yan Zixiu already had a VIP token, which was given by Boss Yu when shopping in Qianbao Pavilion, Lanxin City. But it was not convenient for him to take it out at this time. Because people would wonder, how could a young Qi-training monk run five or six million miles away through the vast territory of the demon clan?
"I wonder if I can exchange a musical notes with you and contact you often in the future?" Li Dan asked. She is indeed a good businessman and will seize the opportunity.
"Of course it's OK. I'll send a note to each of the two fellow Taoists. Please remember, my name is Fangsu." The pretty female cultivator said with a smile.
"My name is Lidan, and my senior brother is Yan Ziling."
...
Back at the mission hall, Yan Zixiu handed the "Tang Dynasty Dan Dian" to Li Dan: "Junior Sister Li Dan, this is for you."
"This..." Li Dan hesitated for a moment, "Okay. I will definitely study hard to refine the alchemy to live up to the kindness of Senior Brother Yan."
"You don't have to practice hard all the time. If you have any questions, you can accumulate them and ask me."
"I understand." Li Dan nodded.
"You can also take the VIP token from Qianbao Pavilion, and you can get discounts when buying and selling."
"Okay."
...
In the next three days, Yan Zixu opened the protective formation and went into seclusion to practice the piano.
The first is to practice piano skills.
There are many techniques for playing the Yaoqin. The right fingering method is mainly broken, support, wiping, picking, hooking, kicking, hitting, and picking and their different combinations, such as: wheel, lock, stacking, tucking, rolling, brushing, cycling, double-playing, and rounding; the left hand is mainly divided into two types: pressing and sliding sounds. Pressing sounds include kneeling, lifting, swaying, pushing, claws, pinching, and synchronous sounds. The sliding sounds include chanting, crowing, striking, calling, forward, backward, and separation.
According to the "Tianle Heart Biography", there are more than 1,000 detailed techniques, and more than 300 commonly used ones.
On the first day, he repeatedly reviewed the more than 300 commonly used techniques. The reason for reviewing is that he has the foundation of wonderful music.
The second is to practice music scores.
There are many famous songs in China since ancient times, such as "High Mountains and Flowing Water", "Falled Geese in the Plain Sand", "Spring and White Snow", "Three Rings of Plum Blossoms", etc. The music scores in the Tianle Palace of the Immortal Palace are more and more complete.
After repeated consideration, Yan Zixiu selected two related to medical paths, one is the "Medicine Mantra Song" and the other is the "Flower Blooming and No Dust". The root of the first music score is the master, Medicine Buddha, after he became enlightened, he observed sentient beings suffering through his original vows, and developed great compassion, and after entering Samadhi, he gave a speech on the "Dharani" that eliminated all sentient beings' distress. This song is similar to the Rejuvenation Pill Dew, and compared with Rejuvenation Pill Dew, it also has more effect on purifying the mind and spirit, which can heal and eliminate psychological disorders, mental illnesses, and the inner demons of immortals.
The second piece of music, "Flowers Bloomless Song", was created by a female fairy. It is said that if you play it well, you can return to the earth and bloom all kinds of spiritual plants, which has a healing effect.
