Chapter 344 First Movement Poems of Awakening (21): Departure, Line
So (2-in-1)
At five o'clock the next day, there was a faint orange-red overflow on the horizon, and less than two hours later, the sun's rays slightly higher in the sky were already blinding people.
Caravans of various sizes passed through the suburbs of the city. The fields were planted with new tea trees, full of hydrangea flowers, and thin larches. Luna was leaning against the bright door of the carriage, and the breeze carried her silver dress.
and hair tips.
Fan Ning, who is in the innermost, is wearing loose, clean cotton shorts and an open white shirt, sitting with her arms around the piano. Her clothes are billowing as she looks at the retreating scenery, and her fingers are thoughtfully playing on the purple strings of the piano.
You can see some boats in the distance, including steamships and small sailing boats, floating on the clear sea. You can see the tops of black volcanic rocks in the water. The water is too transparent to judge the height difference, and you can't realize how far away from the coastline it is.
Far.
He had never seen the southern scenery before. He felt that compared to the industrially prosperous Tioleon, there was too much blank space and too much color, but this feeling was unfamiliar after all.
The feeling of being a stranger may not be harmful to ordinary people, but it is a contradiction for sensitive and nostalgic people. This is also due to the fact that this country tends to overexaggerate people's inspirations and emotions.
The gift of "Fragrant Flower Poet" produces orange-red luminous berries all the way to the branches.
He just started from the seventh song of "Winter Journey" and played and sang "On the River", which was bathed in soft chords and reflected in memories. The accompaniment and vocals were always one beat apart, as if the reality and intensity were desolate.
"Looking Back", in which yearnings follow like a shadow; "Wilder Fire", in which wandering in the wilderness on a winter night is mysterious, lonely and terrifying; and "Old Wisp", which is full of minor second chromatic melody, makes people feel disheartened and despair.
rest in peace"……
feels good.
The girls all wanted to come closer and listen.
Troy and the two trainee troubadours also showed extremely high enthusiasm, but Fanning still likes to be quieter during non-party moments.
Luna also discovered that Mr. Scheler is generally a melancholic and withdrawn person, which matches his brilliant talent. As the only lucky person not to be invited out of the carriage, she may be because of the gift or because of her quietness.
It may also be because my communication style is relatively well-behaved and I avoid using overly enthusiastic words to overwhelm his sense of distance.
"Aren't you afraid of falling if you sit in such a weird way?" Fan Ning's voice came from inside the carriage.
"Ah!" The little girl turned her head. This was the first time Mr. Scheele spoke actively today.
She retracted her legs into the carriage, and then answered seriously: "In normal weather, I can last until about 7:30 in the morning. No matter how strong the sun is, I need to avoid it, so before that, I will try to get some sunshine as much as possible."
Sun...did you have a good rest last night?"
Fan Ning said "Yeah". He fell asleep early last night after returning to the guest room. Nourished by the free Yaozhi spirit liquid, his strength has recovered by 40 to 50%, and his spiritual state is enough to deal with those who have just entered high ranks.
The one who knows.
Small and unexpected troubles are basically under control.
But the level of potential threats he faces is too high, and he needs to make careful considerations, such as the first issue of identity.
The southern country is far away, and the successful containment of the "Fountain in the Painting" has helped a lot, but it is still not a matter of peace of mind. The intelligence methods of the Special Inspection Office must not be underestimated.
Starting from waking up on the beach yesterday, Fan Ning has been making corrections while responding to the actual situation, and now he has basically explored and refined the preliminary "background and character":
The foreigner who first entered the Southern Kingdom had wandered on the border between the two countries in the Western Continent. He was rich in knowledge, rich in love and sentiment, and had an arrogant and arrogant personality. However, he didn't care about money and fame at all. He only relied on emotional resonance and inspiration to guide his actions...
Because in the minds of Tioline people, their social image is actually that of a "long-sleeved and good at dancing" musician: personable, steady and practical, with basically no emotional scandals, fame and fortune, and a successful career... know yourself
There are not many true inner confidants.
Now some distinctions have been made in various aspects.
Of course, no one would deliberately ask about the history of a bard's soul exile, but in the brief sporadic conversations last night and this morning, Fan Ning began to deliberately add some past wandering experiences, of course inadvertently.
Revealed in a vague and fragmented manner.
Intelligence collection and investigation work rely on nothing more than two points: human contact and traces of events. Even in the case of occult divination, the revelations gained are presented through these two points.
These traces cannot be completely erased, but for investigators, they are also confusing and difficult to find a needle in a haystack.
Fan Ning's biggest purpose is not to appear that Scheler "appeared completely out of the blue" when he enters the screening field someday in the future. The identity of a troubadour is the biggest natural barrier, but Fan Ning will not
If the opponent is a fool, he will take the initiative to do something to make the time farther from his missing date, and it is best to stagger it forward.
In the impression of the first batch of contacts, the personality building of "not focusing on money and fame" can explain why Scheler's previous experience on the border of the Western Continent was not very famous. Of course, they would not care if it was true or false, but
If someone investigates and traces the origin later, it will be more or less out of nowhere, and Fan Ning will have some actions to consider next.
"How many days will the journey take?" After taking advantage of his free time to sort things out, Fan Ning looked up again.
"Probably about 5 to 15 days, Mr. Scheele." Luna replied.
"Is it such a big range?"
"Because we can't predict whether we will get lost, and we can't accurately estimate the time it will take us to get lost."
"Incomprehensible."
"Well... in short, we won't go as fast as full speed. In fact, going at full speed may not guarantee the shortest time." Luna shook her legs gently, "The annual 'Flower Etiquette' lasts for a long time.
The caravans here are not in a hurry to reach their destination as soon as possible, and they search for and enjoy the gifts from the 'Fanghui Poet' along the way. This may be the original meaning of the festival, I guess so."
"So, how will you celebrate on the 'Flower Ceremony'?" Fan Ning asked.
"According to our teachings, the 'Fanghui Poet' is half asleep and half awake in other seasons of the year, and only fully wakes up for a short period of time in summer, so this is the time of year when the climate is the hottest, the fragrance of flowers is the strongest, and the products are
The richest season is also the time when everyone sings and dances, seeks inspiration, and pursues passionate passion. It is said that a considerable number of trainee bards have improved their skills during the summer's "Flower Ceremony" and received His blessing emblem...
…”
"However, apart from the ordinary celebrations during the festival, there are also two more important time nodes. The former is the 'Awakening Song', and the latter is the 'Flower Ceremony'..."
"The latter is easy to understand in a literal sense, similar to the final ceremony of the climax of the festival." Fan Ning's fingertips tapped the wooden surface of the guitar, "But what is the 'Awakening Chant'?"
"It's also a ritual." Luna said, "It's the ritual just mentioned, used to wake up the 'Fanghui Poet' who is in a comatose state and let midsummer fully come... By the way, Mr. Scheler, you asked about this
The question just occurred to me. With your talent and accomplishments, you can take a chance on this trip to Tia City. Maybe you will be the one who awakens the 'Fanghui Poet' during this year's festival!!"
"Me?" Fan Ning said with a surprised smile, "What does this have to do with me?"
Awakening a Lord of Witnesses? Whether it is substantive or symbolic, it all depends on the nature. If it is a typical act of pollution and death in the Evil God Organization, and in the True God Church, it is an annual festival, then
no problem.
But shouldn’t that be the job of the clergy?
"The 'Awakening Chant' ritual is a bit special. It is open-ended." Luna explained, "The prototype comes from a common tribute link in our teachings. Any believer with some qualifications can arrange it, but its core
It is necessary to perform a piece of music used as a prayer..."
"Theoretically, as long as it is during the 'Flower Ceremony' period and within the scope of 'Tia City', any performance or singing by people may successfully awaken Him and trigger strong illusions and resonance, and the southern country will completely start the summer.
Usually, this lucky thing happens one day in August, but by whose hand it is unknown."
This undoubtedly aroused Fan Ning's interest. He put the guitar upright and said: "It sounds like a feat. As expected, those who have been able to achieve it in the past must be great musicians with extraordinary achievements?"
"That's Mr. Scheler!!" Luna said this with a hint of sincere admiration in her tone, "However, 'Awakening Chant' is somewhat dramatic, and the preference of 'Fanghui Poet' may not be consistent with the authoritative evaluation of the Western Continent.
The systems are different, and every now and then a little-known musician triggers a response and becomes famous, well, let me see..."
She folded her legs and leaned down, pulled out a book from the colorful oak storage compartment under the rattan mat and opened it:
"This issue of the "Phaidon Folk Culture Reader" magazine has an inventory article that counts the historical records of the 'Awakening Chant' in the United Principality of Feton in the past 100 years. Overall, the premiere of new works accounts for slightly more than
When performing masterpieces, the proportion of local troubadours is slightly more than that of foreign musicians."
"As for the specific records, there are 54 times of 15 awakeners who are great musicians or music masters. Previously, there were 46 times of 30 people who were only at the 'famous' level or relatively weak... You see, in terms of number of times, there were 15 people who awakened.
The ratio is close to one to one, and the number of people is one to two, which shows that the 'awakening chant' is not just for great musicians."
"Of course, the latter 30 musicians also became famous because of this. The inventory article specifically noted their brief artistic experiences in the future. 14 of them grew up to be great musicians, and 3 of them went on to become music masters. Although
Their fame is not entirely due to their 'flower etiquette', but it is a high percentage."
Luna started chatting, turning the pages back and forth while talking enthusiastically: "These include classical guitar master Tone, romantic master Rolfing, great opera singer Dominic, Tia City's famous singer Kuci, and others.
There is the legendary pianist 'Li', oh! 'Li''s experience of awakening the 'Fanghui Poet' in the Southern Continent for three consecutive years when he started his world tour is simply talked about..."
President, why are you everywhere? Big news has come to the Southern Continent. Fan Ning blinked with a strange expression on his face. He was indeed very interested because he heard too many familiar names.
"Mr. Scheele, you must try it! Once you receive the highest level of blessing from the Fanghui Temple, the clergy will calculate an 'auspicious time' and invite you to become the 'Flower Flower' on a certain day in September.
You are a guest at the ritual ceremony, and I am the first person who has ever extended a courtesy invitation to you..."
The little girl was immersed in the fantasy deduction, and suddenly found that the other person was looking at the magazine in her hand with great interest, while she was still flipping through it from a distance. She handed the magazine over embarrassedly, and then
He sat back obediently at the far end.
"Thank you." Fan Ning thanked him and took the "Feiton Folk Culture Reader".
Indeed, it can only be regarded as "folk culture" rather than "music magazine". The content is too complicated. The starting point of this review article is more about the "flower etiquette" religious custom itself.
Fan Ning's eyes passed over the records of "Awakening Chant" over the years. As a musicology major who is very familiar with the history of music from ancient times to the present, more and more familiar names of musicians came into view.
But when his eyes moved to a certain line, they suddenly froze.
August 22, 875 New Calendar, Louis Vienne, "Prelude".
This is the first time that I have discovered traces of Vienne’s public activities in the Southern Continent!
"In 871, he developed symptoms of glaucoma and consulted Vasius's parents' 'Free Folk Herbal Shop'. Then he followed the advice and traveled across the ocean to seek medical treatment. He returned to the Northern Continent in the spring of 876..." Fan Ning went through it all again in his mind.
timeline.
It seems to be the last summer of five years of seeking medical treatment.
He once deduced based on common sense that it is impossible for a professional musician to give up music, and there should be some traces of musical activities while living in a foreign country for a long time.
This clue confirmed his inference, and the traces were quite deep...
However, there is no beginning or end. Since Vienne's own popularity is limited, and the correspondence during his recuperation in the Southern Continent is extremely sporadic, Fan Ning has no way of knowing what he did in the past few years.
The magazine article also made very brief notes on his later artistic experience, only mentioning that he was a "court musician from the North", as well as the time he left the Southern Continent and the year of his death. He was considered another part of Luna's "who did not become great in the future."
"The awakener.
Even if he is "engaged in music activities", his specific identity is not clear.
——The subdivision direction of "organist" is too special. According to Fan Ning's knowledge of religion and music culture, the organ originated from the church of the Holy Sun Church, and its popularity here is currently quite low. He always
I doubt that Vienne at that time would have had any chance of playing the pipe organ in the Southern Continent.
Originally, the relatively most valuable information point should be what song Weien used in the ceremony to awaken the "Fanghui Poet".
But the title of this recorded track is really embarrassing...
"prelude"?
This is simply unrecognizable... Fan Ning stroked the pages of the book with his fingers and fell into thinking.
It is common for the names of musical works in such magazine articles to be written irregularly, even if they include a work number or even a good key. Now it is not only impossible to confirm whether Vienne wrote a new work or performed an old one, but also what genre it is.
, no musical instrument can be distinguished.
Only after arriving in Tia City, following this clue interface, and finding more detailed records from that year, or seeing the music score of this work, can we deduce more substantial information.
Fan Ning closed the magazine and found that the little girl had been looking at him, but after he raised his head, he looked away from the car in embarrassment.
After pondering for a while, he asked: "I want to know more about the classic teachings of your church. What are your recommendations?"
