Volume One: The Empire in the Morning, Chapter 166: Brothers and Sisters Here (Part 1)
"When I first came here, just like you, I was speechless by the beauty here."
At some point, Chen Pipi stood next to Ning Que.
Ning Que turned to look at him and asked, "Is it more beautiful than the place you used to live in?"
Chen Pipi looked at him, wondering if he had guessed his origin. After a moment of silence, he said: "Significance, solemnity or sacredness are actually not beautiful."
He smiled and continued: "Welcome to the real academy."
Ning Que smiled and replied: "It seems that you are my tour guide today."
Chen Pipi had never heard of the word tour guide, but he guessed what it meant. He smiled and led him towards the cliffs. Along the way, he walked through green fields and meadows, stepping on slightly wet field ridges, and walked on
A wooden bridge leads to the calm, mirror-like lake.
The white waterbirds in the lake float and sink, preying on small fish in the water. No matter whether they succeed or fail, they proudly raise their heads, swallow the fish's belly, or shake off the water droplets on their feathers. The footsteps on the wooden bridge attract
The waterbirds watched with attention, but they were obviously not afraid of people. Instead, they seemed to be curious and very spiritual.
There is a pavilion in the middle of the wooden bridge. It is very quiet between the lake and the water. A woman wearing a light yellow college spring dress is concentrating on embroidery in the pavilion.
Chen Pipi led Ning Que to the woman, bowed respectfully and said, "Seventh Senior Sister."
The woman in light yellow clothes raised her head, glanced at Ning Que beside him, and said with a smile: "Take our little junior brother for a walk."
Ning Que clasped his hands and saluted, and said respectfully, "I have met the Seventh Senior Sister."
The Seventh Senior Sister glanced at Chen Pipi with a half-smile, and suddenly said: "From now on, you can be lazy."
Chen Pipi smiled awkwardly.
Ning Que didn't understand what he meant and looked at the two of them blankly.
The Seventh Senior Sister said nothing more and continued to embroider with her head down.
Walking out of the pavilion between the lakes and following the wooden bridge across the lake to the shore, Chen Pipi turned around to look and introduced to Ning Que: "The seventh senior sister's surname is Mu and her name is Youyou. She has studied formations carefully. The fog you passed through when you went up the mountain was
The formations set up by the academy's predecessors are now all maintained by the Seventh Senior Sister. As for the embroidery... Seventh Senior Sister encountered a bottleneck in her formation training two years ago. Neither the First Senior Brother nor the Second Senior Brother could find a good method. In the end,
The teacher decided to let her embroider, and this embroidery lasted for two years. I don’t know if the bottleneck has passed."
The shock in Ning Que's heart continued, but on the surface he kept calm very well. This was the first time he entered the second floor of the academy, and he had no idea about many things. For example, what is the relationship between embroidery and formations?
But precisely because he had no idea at all, he knew that even if he asked, it would be in vain, so he remained silent.
Chen Pipi led him past the very tall ancient tree and walked to the dense forest to the west. Listening to the melodious sound of the piano in the forest, he said: "The flute player is Ninth Senior Brother Bei Gong Weiyang, and the one who plays the flute is
This is the tenth senior brother Ximen Buhuo. The two of them are from the island in the extreme south and are proficient in music. As for what method they practice, I'm afraid even they themselves can't tell clearly."
Ning Que asked in surprise: "Is this another teaching? How can a practitioner not even know his own practice?"
Chen Pipi shook his head and explained: "The teacher never gives them homework, he just lets them tinker with these useless things as they please. I have been listening to them play for many years in the academy, and I have never seen them do anything else."
."
The sound of the piano in the spring forest suddenly stopped, and the rustling sound started. Two men walked out of the forest. The two men had handsome faces and calm expressions. They were wearing white college spring clothes. They had obviously been modified, and the sleeves and hem of the robe were very wide.
, being blown away by the spring breeze, he looked as if he were an immortal. He looked less like a student and more like a hermit with an immortal spirit.
Brother Ninth, who was holding the flute, looked at Chen Pipi and said angrily: "What do you mean I can't explain myself clearly?"
Chen Pipi said with a smile: "Then tell me, what have you practiced in the academy for so many years?"
Brother Ninth picked up the flute and gave Chen Pipi a hard hit on the head.
Chen Pipi covered her head and yelled angrily: "Senior Brother Ninth, why do you beat someone when you can't convince them? Where are the etiquette you pay attention to?"
The man who had been silently holding the guqin suddenly said, "Well done."
Chen Pipi looked at the man and said, "Tenth Senior Brother, you have never been like this."
The tenth senior brother Ximen Buhuo smiled slightly, holding the guqin with both hands in front of him. His fingertips trembled slightly as he picked out a broken note. He looked at Ning Que and said, "Junior brother, Senior Brother Beigong and I are cultivating the avenue of music and temperament."
, A common person like Pippi who only knows how to fight with the vitality of heaven and earth cannot understand the beauty of music at all. I hope you are not such a common person."
Ninth Senior Brother Beigong Weiyang tied the Dongxiao to his waist, looked at Ning Que and said with great interest: "Junior Brother, it was quite relaxing to watch you climb the mountain that day. Master Yan Se also said that you have the potential to be a Talisman Master, and
I heard that you are a recently famous calligrapher in Chang'an City. In this case, you must be quite accomplished in art, and we will have a good time to learn from each other in the future."
Ning Que hurriedly bowed respectfully, but thought bitterly in his heart, how could he know anything about music? As for whether it was vulgar or not... Being able to sense the vitality of heaven and earth, of course, he should use it to improve his own realm, and then learn how to fight. These two senior brothers actually
He put all his cultivation and life into the music. It is elegant and elegant, but it is too wasteful of natural resources.
"I'm telling you two senior brothers that I know absolutely nothing about music." He responded quickly.
Ninth Senior Brother Bei Gong Weiyang was extremely disapproving and waved his sleeves and said: "Music, calligraphy and painting are beautiful things in the world. Art is all about making connections by analogy. You didn't have the chance in the past, but now that you and I, the Tenth Senior Brother, are you, how can you still be ignorant?
"
Seeing the enthusiasm of the other party, Ning Que had no nerve to refuse, so he agreed. In the future, when he was studying in the academy, he would definitely come to the two senior brothers to respectfully ask for advice on music. Even if he could not benefit from it, it was still good to be a listener.
The two senior brothers looked happy when they heard this and praised in unison: "Sure enough, he is not a commoner like Pippi."
…
…
On the way to the Yaping house under the big tree, Chen Pipi glanced at Ning Que and asked seriously: "Do you really like to listen to the sound of the flute?
Ning Que glanced at him and said, "I'm not interested at all... You don't have to look at me like this. This is my first day on the second floor of the academy. The two senior brothers are so enthusiastic, how can I refuse them face to face?"
Chen Pipi said sadly: "You idiot, of course you should resolutely refuse this kind of thing."
Ning Que didn't understand what he meant and asked: "In the future, if my senior brothers want to play the flute for me, I can just stay away. What's the problem?"
"Over the years, no senior brother or sister is willing to listen to their performance quietly. They can only play the flute and play the piano face to face every day. One of them is arrogant and the other is lofty. They are close friends and flatter each other. They have been bored to the extreme.
They are just an audience. Since you agreed to them, then you will be waiting in the back mountain to be an audience every day from now on."
Ning Que asked in confusion: "Could it be that the level of music and temperament between the two senior brothers is extremely poor?"
"The two senior brothers are definitely the first-class music masters in the world."
Chen Pipi said sternly, and immediately lowered his eyebrows in pain, and continued: "No matter how great the music master is, if he plays a piece of music over and over again for you to listen to for thousands of times, you will know the pain involved."
If you let yourself eat a thousand bowls of spicy and sour noodle soup, will you get tired? If you let Sang Sang eat a thousand dishes of pickled cabbage heads in vinegar, will you get tired? What if you take Sang Sang to Songhe Tower to eat continuously?
Will you get tired of eating for a thousand days? Of course you will, and you will definitely get tired of listening to the same music a thousand times in a row, and it will be very painful.
Ning Que asked with a trembling voice: "There are countless people in the world who love music. I think the two senior brothers will not insist on letting me listen to it alone."
"There are many people who love music in the world, but in the eyes of these two senior brothers, there are very few people who are qualified to listen to their music. Those who can enter the back mountain of the academy and become their classmates have all passed the test of the Master, and of course they are qualified.
, but others were spared."
After Ning Que was silent for a long time, he said resolutely: "I will hide."
"I have escaped before." Chen Pipi looked at him sympathetically and sighed: "The mountain behind the academy is not small, but you can still find someone."
Ning Que was about to say something when he suddenly noticed that the flower trees beside the stone path were shaking. A man whose head and face he couldn't see clearly rushed out. He was startled. When he looked closely, he realized that it was the man he had met on the top of the mountain that day.
There was a young senior brother I met, but today this senior brother had all kinds of flower petals falling on his hair and shirt, which looked very funny and a little scary.
Chen Pipi pulled him to his side and introduced him very seriously: "This is the eleventh senior brother Wang Chi."
Ning Que quickly adjusted his clothes, bowed his head and saluted, "Ning Que has met the eleventh senior brother."
Brother Eleven stared at him with wide eyes. He didn't return the greeting. Instead, he picked up a petal on his shoulder and asked in a daze: "I'm here to ask you, if there is nothing in your heart and nothing in your heart, before Master entered the back mountain, this flower
What does it have to do with the hearts of you and me that it has bloomed and fallen in the mountains for thousands of years? If no one enters the mountain behind, if no one looks at this flower, this flower will not exist."
Ning Que was speechless. After a long silence, he turned to look at Chen Pipi innocently.
Chen Pipi's eyes were even more innocent than his, meaning that if you don't know the answer clearly, it will be difficult for you to leave.
The eleventh senior brother Wang Chi looked at him with gentle eyes. He waited for a long time without getting an answer, but there was no displeasure on his face. He explained gently: "In my opinion, before you and I saw this flower, the flower and
Our hearts are silent. When you and I look at this flower, the flower appears and blooms in our hearts. Whether or not this flower exists depends on the moment it appears."
Ning Que opened his lips slightly, but remained speechless, with a very innocent expression.
Chen Pipi felt a little guilty because of this guy's innocent expression. After coughing twice, he said: "Eleventh brother, it's the first day for the younger brother to enter the back mountain. I also want to take him to meet the other senior brothers. Can I tolerate the unnecessary debate?"
Let’s talk about it later?”
Wang Chiwen looked at Ning Que and said, "Junior brother, if you have spare time in the future, can you come and help Brother Yu think about it?"
Ning Que listened to the meaning of the words and breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly agreed, and then followed Chen Pipi as if he was running away from the flower tree and ran towards the houses under the ancient trees in Yaping. He didn't notice the expression on Chen Pipi's face.
Showing sympathy.
