Chapter 31: Can Beasts Listen to Songs?
Every father has to call his children daddy several times before he hears his children calling him daddy.
Qin Ran knew this. He leaned over to pick up Zhui Feng, held the cat's two front paws in front of him, showed a perverted smile on his face, and said: "Scream again..."
Zhui Feng looked at Kieran with two big black eyes. He didn't know what kind of cat disease this two-legged beast had. He tilted his head and said, "Meow?"
"Yeah, meow..." Qin Ran's expression became even weirder.
Zhui Feng said again: "Meow?"
"Meow meow……"
"Meow meow?"
One person and one cat said "meow" and came to the chair next to the mud pit.
Clay figurine Li Shiyin jumped out from the bottom of the pit and saw her master meowing with Zhui Feng. She expressed confusion. She scratched her head and asked with a smile: "Master, are you out of seclusion?"
Qin Ran pretended to be calm, sat down on the chair with the cat in his arms, and replied: "Master, I have been reading some books in the past two days, looking for clues about the elixirs that extend life and the elixirs that feed spiritual beasts."
When Li Shiyin heard this, her eyes lit up, she hurried over and asked anxiously: "Have you found it?"
"No..." Qin Ran shook his head.
"Alas!" Li Shiyin sighed.
Qin Ran said: "If the Daojian Sect has a pill that can increase the life span of mortals, it must at least be the first sect in the Northern Chu Kingdom. But now in the Northern Chu Kingdom, the most famous among the people is Zhican Valley..."
Speaking of this, he suddenly realized something and asked Li Shiyin, "When people in Northern Chu seek immortality and medicine, they go to Zhishen Valley. Why do you want to learn alchemy, but instead come to Daojianmen?"
As soon as this question came out, Li Shiyin was a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and said hesitantly: "My brother is stationed outside the Hengduan Mountains to prevent monsters from disturbing the people. I came to see him for fun, sneaked into the Hengduan Mountains, and then came in.
Dao Jianmen.
"What I was thinking at the time was that Daojianmen and Zhicangu are both immortal sects, so there shouldn't be much difference. Moreover, all the guests at home are disciples of Daojianmen. They are all very powerful. I didn't think too much."
Well, as expected of you. After hearing Li Shiyin's words, Qin Ran didn't feel any excitement in his heart. He just felt that this was her normal operation.
"So, you still ran out secretly?" He still asked, "Didn't you say hello to your family?"
"Well..." Li Shiyin responded, secretly looked at Qin Ran, and said weakly, "Master, you... you won't send me back, will you?!"
"Do I have that much free time?" Qin Ran asked angrily.
According to Li Shiyin's observation, she nodded affirmatively: "Yes!"
Zhui Feng was so cute and fluffy, and started calling "meow" again. Qin Ran originally didn't want to teach Zhui Feng how to speak because of the incident of calling Zhui Feng "mom", but... Zhui Feng actually
Call him "meow"!!
So he continued to study how to teach Zhui Feng to speak.
On the earth, the languages of various civilizations have their own unique features, but there is one thing in common, that is, mothers are called "Mom", or "Mom" or something like that. This is not an accident;
Because the pronunciation of the word "Mom" is the simplest sound that people can make. When the breath goes out and the mouth opens and closes, the sound produced is the sound of "Mom".
A newborn cannot speak, but one day it opens and closes its mouth and makes the sound "Mom". Then the mother who takes care of it every day thinks that this is the child calling her...
In the same way, Zhui Feng is a cat. When its mouth opens and closes, the sound it makes is "meow", which is also very reasonable. Don't look at the tiger as the king of beasts or the tiger roaring in the forest. When he opens his mouth, he puffs out a big smoke.
The roar made all the beasts tremble, but when he was a child, he still had to call "meow".
Zhui Feng is a cat, but he is not an ordinary cat. He is a seventh-level demon beast, the demon king, so he is born different... Although I haven't seen anything special about him yet, at least
It can be seen that this little guy is very smart.
Let’s not talk about how old this little guy is. Just say that after he was picked up by Li Shiyin, he adapted to the environment immediately and completely forgot about his mother. The next time he knew who was the boss in this place,
How can he survive.
He may not know what "meow" and "mom" mean, but he knows that Qinran wants him to say this word...
Qin Ran sat on a chair, with Zhui Feng lying in his arms. The wind blew over, and Zhui Feng's fine fur fluttered. His thoughts came back, he lowered his head to look at Zhui Feng, and reached out to smooth Zhui Feng's mess.
of hair.
He looked at Zhui Feng and started thinking again:
The boundary between humans and animals is relatively clear, but the boundary between humans and monsters seems not so clear.
When a monster beast can talk, does it become a human being? When a monster beast becomes civilized, does it become a human being? If a monster beast becomes stronger than a human being, does it become a human being? When a monster beast becomes a human being, does it become a human being?
He didn't know that this seemed to have become a philosophical question.
"Maybe music is the difference between humans and monsters." He thought.
He remembered someone in his previous life who said that no matter the nobles in the palace or the people in the village, everyone can listen to music, whether it is sunny or snowy, or people from the lower reaches of the country, but animals such as pigs, chickens, and sheep cannot listen to music; Confucius also believed that ritual and music are the civilization of human society.
Basically, he once heard Shao music but did not know the taste of meat in March.
So people can listen to songs but animals cannot listen to songs...
Qin Ran came to this conclusion.
He was eager to prove that he was human, so he went to the back mountain to cut a piece of bamboo and made a flute according to his memory.
It was night, Qin Ran moved a stool in front of the house, sat down, took out the flute, licked the membrane hole, took a deep breath, and blew gently, making an unpleasant sound of "whimpering".
Then the sound of sobbing surrounded Danfeng...
At first, Zhui Feng sat in his arms diligently. After a while, Zhui Feng jumped down and squatted beside him to lick his fur. After a while, Zhui Feng ran into the house and lay down on the sofa.
Yes, Zhui Feng got under the sofa cushion.
Li Shiyin also heard the master's "vomiting and mocking" sounds outside. She ran out and saw Qin Ran playing the flute, and asked with a smile: "Master, can you still play the flute?"
"Huh?" Qin Ran stopped his harsh voice and frowned, "What? Bei Chu also has flutes?"
"Yes!" Li Shiyin nodded and replied, "There is a musician named Gao Yuanshan in Danyang City. He is very famous because he plays the flute very well. My brother doesn't get along with him. He always creates trouble every time he performs.
"
Qin Ran listened and silently put down the bamboo flute in his hand. Inexplicably, he thought of Li Shiyin's brother who saw him playing the flute and rushed over to beat him.
"Brother always says it's because Gao Yuanshan looks too girly, and he's worried that it will ruin the culture of Beichu..." Li Shiyin continued, "But I think my brother is jealous of others who are handsomer than him."
Qin Ran went to see Li Shiyin. The little girl had put on a beautiful dress after a day of hard work digging lakes. She looked beautiful and energetic, especially when she talked about Gaoyuan Mountain, her eyes shone brightly.
"Is he handsome?" he asked casually.
"Hmm, he's very handsome. His features are like picturesque and his skin is like cream. If you put him in girl's clothes, he would definitely be prettier than the most beautiful brothel boss." Li Shiyin said.
"That's really handsome." Qin Ran said, secretly giving up that he was indeed a sissy.
"It's a pity that he ran away when I went to snatch the bride." Li Shiyin said regretfully, "Otherwise, he would have been mine..."
