Summer has passed, and in the early autumn nights, Yingshui County is still cold.Shi Ziju brought a bowl of hot chicken soup from the kitchen and slowly walked through the cold aisle from the kitchen to his residence.He walked slowly, partly because he was a little older, and partly because the porcelain bowl in his hand was full of chicken soup, and he had to walk slowly to prevent the chicken soup from spilling.At this time, it was late at night, Jiang Yu was still practicing, and Shi Ziju wanted to bring her a bowl of chicken soup to replenish her body, but don't be tired.Although the old man was half a hundred difficulties for Li Shizi, how unpleasant he looked at, he really cared for his own disciples.If there is no cultivation at all, even the young and strong guy will have to be frozen and shiver when he walks in Yingshui County this night, not to mention that Shi Ziju has passed seventy this year.Shi Ziju, who finally walked back to the room, hurriedly closed the door and blocked the cold wind from outside."
Yu'er, stop for a while, drink the chicken soup and then practice ......," Shi Ziju said kindly, looking sideways at the house, but the sight made the old man stunned.I saw Jiang Yu lying on the desk at the moment, leaning on the guqin in front of him and falling asleep.The old man stopped the words that came to his lips, walked up to the girl, put the bowl of chicken soup aside, and then sat down beside the girl and looked at it for a while.Jiang Yu, who was sleeping soundly, looked quiet, like a porcelain doll that had been carved out of fine fashion.The old man was a little distressed, and at this moment he suddenly slapped his thigh, secretly scolded himself for being confused, hurried to the house, found a blanket, and wanted to gently spread it on the girl.It's just that his hands and feet are a little bit unwieldy when he is older, even if he has been careful enough, he still accidentally touched the strings on the side, and the strings made a soft sound, waking up the sleeping Jiang Yu.The girl, who was evidently a little dazed, raised her eyes to look around, and then met the gaze of the old man who was holding the blanket that was not yet draped over her.Jiang Yu blinked in confusion, and the next moment he suddenly came back to his senses.She let out an exclamation, then looked guilty and said, "I'm sorry Master, I'm asleep!"
I'll continue to practice......"
Jiang Yu sat down in a panic like a child who had done something wrong, and stretched out his hand to stroke the piano again.Seeing this, Shi Ziju stretched out his hand and pressed the strings, and shook his head slightly under Jiang Yu's puzzled gaze: "I won't practice today, these days you practice martial arts during the day, and sometimes you have to manage the newly accepted children of the academy, and come to me to learn the piano at night, you can't be idle for a moment, it's too hard, let's rest." ”The old man's tone was kind and his attitude was extremely sincere, and it was by no means a scene of vain and grievance.Jiang Yu, who heard this, shook his head decisively: "I promised the master, before the autumn, I would learn the two tunes of "Heavenly Hanging Mirror" and "White River into the Urn", and now it is early autumn, this "White River into the Urn" has never been reached, and the progress is now delayed, even if I have failed the master, how dare I rest again."
Master rest assured, Jiang Yu can stand it. ”Jiang Yu said seriously, but Shi Ziju, who heard this, shook his head and said, "Silly boy, it's too much."
If you are tired of practicing like this, you will get twice the result with half the effort, so it is better to rest well and come back tomorrow. ”Saying that, seeing that Jiang Yu had to say more, Shi Ziju said again: "Actually, I am too strict with you. ”"It's an eventful time now, you have too many things to do, and the old man still lets you come to practice every day It's really a little unkind, and it's difficult to be strong."
There was no lack of self-blame and guilt in Shi Ziju's tone, Jiang Yu saw that her heart became more and more unbearable, and she hurriedly said: "Master, what are these words, when Master promised to play the piano for the senior sisters and sisters of Dafeng Courtyard, I also worshiped under Master's door." ”"Master is already old, and he is very tired from playing the piano every day, but he never stops every day and never misses the appointment.How could Jiang Yu be untrustworthy and live up to his master's entrustment?
”"You girl is good at everything, but she is dead-eyed and doesn't know how to be flexible."
Shi Ziju said with a smile when he heard this, although the things he said were a few words, but there was no hint of harshness, but with a little appreciation."
You, you have to learn to learn to speak really that girl, you have no heart and no lungs, you like Li Danqing's bastard, just start first, regardless of whether he has made progress or not, the name is set, it will be him Li Danqing flying to the sky in the future, and this matter has to be admitted.What about you?
just stupidly followed by his side, only knowing how to do things, but not knowing how to reveal his mind, if this continues, I don't know how many people I will be able to rank at that time. ”Shi Ziju's words made Jiang Yu's face suddenly turn red."
What is the master talking nonsense, I only have the friendship of master and apprentice with the dean, and I never think about it......"
"The old man is a person from the past, you look at the eyes of that little bastard and write your heart clearly, the old man can see it clearly, and others can also see it."
It is human nature for men and women to love each other, not to mention that little bastard, bastard is a bastard, but there is indeed some merit......"
Shi Ziju said calmly.Hearing this, Jiang Yu's face became more and more flushed, and she whispered shyly, "I......
I didn't. ”"If not, there will be no such thing, you young people will solve the affairs of the young people by themselves, and most of the old man's body is buried in the soil, and he will not be involved in your affairs."
Shi Ziju shook his head and said so.After saying this, he said: "Anyway, I won't practice this piano today, if you feel that you have a loss in your heart, it is better to listen to the old man tell you the story of this piano." ”The old man said and stretched out his finger to point to the guqin in front of Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became interested: "I heard from the dean that this qin is a relic of Mr.
Liu Shen, called the Tiger Spirit Changqin." ”"Hmph, that kid can't do anything else, but he does have some eyesight to see things, the old man has been in Holly City for so many years, but no one has ever seen the bottom of this thing, but the little bastard can see the bottom at a glance."
Shi Ziju snorted coldly and said angrily."
Although the dean is giggling on weekdays, there is a splendid beauty hidden in his chest, which is much stronger than those who claim to be merry and talented......"
Jiang Yu responded, but as he spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller, because when he was saying this, the eyes of the master on the side who looked at her gradually became teasing.The old man's eyes were clearly saying, and he was still hard-mouthed, didn't he reveal his stuffing without saying a few words?
Jiang Yu was a little embarrassed, lowered his head and didn't dare to say more.Shi Ziju smiled, and did not dwell on this matter more, and then said: "This thing is indeed something left to me by Mr., in fact, although the workmanship of this thing is fine, the materials are also extremely exquisite, and it is from the hands of the master, but in terms of value, it is not those guqins that have been famous for a long time, and what really makes it sought after by the world is only because it is Mr.'
s qin......
"Speaking of Mr., the eyes of the old man who is over seventy years old are flashing with hot colors at this time, just like an ignorant child of seven or eight years old, seeing the idol he worships.That gaze, pure, hot, that is the clearest longing, but also the cleanest yearning.Jiang Yu saw such a change in the old man's eyes, and couldn't help but ask again: "It seems that Mr.
Liu Shen must be a very great person, right?"
”When the old man heard this, he came back to his senses, he thought about it, but shook his head again: "Mr. is just an ordinary person, and when he meets a woman he likes, he will toss and turn at night, and he will swallow his love in his stomach because he is ashamed to say it."
will also secretly weep for the people's livelihood and suffering, and will also be for the soldiers to fight bravely, and the blood will surge. ”"Sir often said that the world always thinks that he has divine help, but they don't know that he is just obsessed with this way, and has spent more thought than others."
Jiang Yu didn't seem to understand when he heard it, and asked again: "Then where did Mr.
Liu Shen go in the end?"
Why did he disappear after losing to the chess saint Yan Nishang in Baizi Mountain more than 20 years ago?
”This question made the old man's body tremble slightly, but the next moment it returned to normal, and the simple-minded Jiang Yu did not notice the old man's abnormality at that moment.The old man looked at Jiang Yu at this time, but he didn't answer her question, but said, "These days, you have been practicing harder than before, why?"
”Jiang Yu was a little uncomfortable with the topic that the old man suddenly transferred, but after hesitating slightly, he still said truthfully: "Youyun Chen Bing border, the big war is coming, I think about practicing harder, and the things that can be done at that time will be a ......little bigger" "Ke Xueqin can also help them."
The old man asked rhetorically.Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "If you can have the master's attainments, and raise a song "Liejun" or "White Wolf into the Array" during the war, maybe it can boost the morale of the army and fight against a hundred, but the apprentice is stupid, and if he wants to reach the master's realm, I am afraid it will not be possible to do it in a short time, so ......"
Speaking of this, Jiang Yu panicked and hurriedly said: "But don't worry, Master, after this incident, the apprentice will definitely try his best to spare more time to learn the piano, and never let the master down!"
”Shi Ziju was a little helpless when he heard this: "You kid, I know you have a heart, and you won't break your word." ”"But what I want to say is that the old immortal on Bailong Mountain once said that everything in the world is extremely approachable.""
Huh?"
Jiang Yu was a little confused, and looked at the old man puzzled.The old man said again: "The cultivators in the world are all martial arts, and the rest of the practitioners are only a few.The reason for this is that the martial arts are immediate, even if you don't have the slightest talent and foundation, as long as it takes a month or two, coupled with some good pill exercises, you can clearly feel your own growth. ”"The rest of the ways need to be chewed and swallowed slowly, and they can only be effective over the years.""
Therefore, there are many martial artists, and there are few people in all ways.Therefore, you are obviously extremely talented in the qin path, but you are still willing to spend a lot of time on the martial arts that are not outstanding in talent.For this immediate effect......
Jiang Yu became more and more confused, a little unsure of the old man's meaning, but subconsciously apologized: "Master, I ......"
"Don't always apologize, I didn't say that you did something wrong."
In fact, I was too demanding, or rather, I was too anxious. ”The old man interrupted Jiang Yu's words before he could say anything."
You have your difficulties, I'm old, and I finally found a successor, thinking about not disappointing Mr.
Liu Shen's entrustment, and wanting to hand over all my life's learning to you in my lifetime, but these qin songs are all excellent things, even if you are a master with exquisite attainments on the piano path, if you want to learn this exercise in a short time, it will take a lot of time, not to mention that you have just entered this way......
You've been able to hold on until now, and you've never complained, which is actually pretty good. ”"Master, I ......"
Shi Ziju's heartfelt words made Jiang Yu feel more and more self-reproachful, she lowered her head, and said with guilt.The old man waved his hand and interrupted Jiang Yu's words again: "So, I thought about it, and in the next time, I don't think you will have to practice the piano." ”"Master!
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I can do it!
I discussed with the dean and divided the work of teaching those children to the other senior sisters and sisters, and took more time to learn the piano skills......"
Jiang Yu, who secretly thought that he had disappointed the old man, suddenly felt a little panicked, and hurriedly said at that time.The old man said, "Silly boy, I don't mean to blame you in the slightest. ”"The Youyun army is coming to the pool, this is the most important thing, you should practice more martial arts in order to get out of this big battle, so you can do these things with peace of mind for the time being.As for the matter of the piano path, I will try to compile the things I learned from my husband into a book in the next time, and you can carry it with you in the future and read and study it more.I believe that with your understanding and heart, you will not disappoint the old man and the gentleman. ”Jiang Yu, who heard this, was relieved, she hesitated for a while, then nodded, and said firmly: "Master rest assured, Jiang Yu will definitely practice diligently in the future and never let down Master." ”The old man smiled and bowed his head, and his expression was kind."
By the way, there's something I've always wanted to talk to Master."
Jiang Yu said again at this time."
Huh?"
The old man looked at the girl suspiciously.Jiang Yu said: "The war is coming, although the dean doesn't say it, but I can also see that it seems that the future of Yingshui County is worrying, and the imperial court has not sent troops to increase the number of troops, Yingshui County is afraid of becoming a place of war, or I will ask the dean for some money, the master will first go to Yanma County or Lanshan County and other places to find a place to live, find a clean place, and compose the piano score with peace of mind, and wait until the war is calm, I will pick you up......"
Jiang Yu said things lightly as much as possible, just with her temperament that would not lie, how could that little bit of caution be hidden from the eyes of the old man.The old man smiled and waved his hand, and said, "I'm old, I can't walk, so I won't go." ”"That Shanshui Hou has a saying that is right, this Yingshui County is our territory, how can there be a dark cloud, we give it to them.The old man stays here, and he can still play the piano for you, and you don't have to go into battle to fight, so you don't have to worry about the safety of the old man. ”"By the way, it's not too early, you go back, you can rest, and you don't have to come to me for the rest of the day."
Jiang Yu, who was broken by the old man's words, turned slightly red, but seeing the old man's resolute attitude, she didn't say much, but after telling the old man to pay attention to rest, she turned around and walked out of the door.…… After Jiang Yu left, the old man's door was deserted.The old man sat alone in his seat, and he reached out and gently stroked the guqin on the Antai in front of him.The old, wrinkled palm plucked the strings one by one, and his gaze suddenly became wandering and trance-like."
So where did Mr.
Liu Shen end up?
Why did he disappear after losing to the chess saint Yan Nishang in Baizi Mountain more than 20 years ago?
”He couldn't help but think of the question he didn't answer Jiang Yu again.He suddenly looked outside the house, it was cold, the doors and windows were closed, but at that moment, the old man's eyes were deep, as if he could see something through the darkness in front of him, and see something that others could not see.…… Shi Ziju is seventy years old this year.When he was eight years old, Shikoma, who lost his family to the war, was displaced and adopted by a well-meaning family.The master of the family treated him very well, and even spent money to let him go to a private school to study and learn calligraphy.Later, the master had a child, and he never let the child treat him as scary, and he was called the eldest brother, but Shi Ziju knew his duty and did not dare to trespass.He liked the child and often took care of him.The host family saw that he was careful, so they were relieved to hand over the child to him.More than ten years have passed, and Shi Ziju has been more than 20 years old, and the master's child has grown to 16 years old.The child showed amazing talent from an early age, and the articles he wrote at the age of fourteen were regarded as classics by the readers of the city, and they vied to read them.This reputation became more and more famous, and he was even summoned by the reigning Emperor Wuyang at the time to play the qin for him in the palace.At that time, Liu Shen was only eighteen years old, and if he was willing to stay in the palace, what awaited him in the second half of his life was countless glory and wealth.But Shi Ziju, who takes care of Liu Shen all the year round, can see that the little master is not happy.Later, Liu Shen's father and mother died of a serious illness within a year, and returned home to worship his parents.They have been to many places, they have seen the ten thousand imperial swords on Donghua Mountain like flying snow and breaking dragons, they have seen the graceful figure of the peerless dancing girl Miao Chenchen, and they have tasted the bitter sea water of the sea of ruins at the end of the southern land.I have also been outside the Fierce Yin Mountain, I have seen the Yin spirit raging, the scene of people with lofty ideals fighting bravely, and wrote the famous poem "Fierce Yin Zhao" that has been passed down by the world, they have even been to Bailong Mountain, climbed the White Dragon Terrace, and talked with the old fairy about the scriptures.But Rao is like this, Shi Ziju feels that he still seems unhappy, a gentleman who has traveled thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and has been admired and respected by the world to the extreme.He seemed to be chasing something, but he didn't make any progress.He also asked the other party, but Liu Shen only said that he was begging.Shi Ziju didn't know much about the Tao, he was related to Liu Shen, and he wanted to understand him, so Shi Ziju, who was almost forty years old at that time, decided to learn piano skills.This is not a very good age, but fortunately, there is Liu Shen, the master, and the talent of Shiziju is also surprisingly good, he learns quickly, and gradually has some heat.At that time, Liu Shen met a woman.Her name is Yan Nishang.As the name suggests, it is a girl as beautiful as a dress in the sky.During that time, Mr. and Yan Nishang were often together, eating together, playing the piano together, discussing articles together, and studying chess games together.Shi Ziju could see that Mr. liked Yan Nishang, and Yan Nishang also liked Mr.Shi Ziju is very satisfied with that kind of life, not because of how free he is, but because he feels that Liu Shen is very happy.Every time I walked with Yan Nishang, the corners of Mr.'
s mouth would rise slightly unconsciously.That's the joy that only the truest happiness can bring, and that's the smile that doesn't pretend to be.He thought that such days would last forever, and Yan Nishang also thought that such days would last forever.On that day, Yan Nishang suddenly spoke, and she asked Liu Shen to go back to Baizi Mountain with him and propose marriage to her master.This is a matter of course, Yan Nishang thinks so, and Shi Ziju also thinks so.But that day, Liu Shen, who was sitting in front of the desk, shook his head gently after drinking a cup of tea.He declined Yan Nishang's invitation.He said he was happy to be with her, but he had more important things to do.He wants to find the way.That night, Shi Ziju quarreled with Liu Shen for the first time in his life.He asked, what the hell was he looking for?
What is it that is more important than the people who care about him?
Liu Shen was silent, but Shi Ziju could see that he was a little shaken.And on the second day, Yan Nishang came to the door again, she wanted to gamble with Liu Shen, they went to the top of Baizi Mountain, a game, if Yan Nishang won, Liu Shen had to stay, otherwise, Liu Shen could go to find his so-called Tao.So a more ancient game began on the Xingluo chessboard of Baizi Mountain.Yan Nishang is not very old, but he is a chess genius, and he once played against three national players by himself, but in the time of two incense sticks, all three national players were defeated.Since then, Yan Nishang has had the name of Wuyang Chess Saint.The two played against each other on the top of Baizi Mountain for three days, and at first Liu Shen pressed step by step, and Yan Nishang could only defend everywhere.But near the end, Liu Shen suddenly fell into a faint, the master duel is often a wrong step, Yan Nishang seized this opportunity, changed hands to attack, and finally won the game with the advantage of a son.But she didn't let Liu Shen fulfill the gambling contract, but let Liu Shen leave.Others don't know what's going on, but Shi Ziju sees it clearly.In that chess game, in fact, Liu Shen won, he gave up a son, he wanted to tell Yan Nishang that if you love someone, you have to learn to be perfect, so I lost to you, stay with you, and fulfill your life.And Yan Nishang understood.Therefore, she chose to let Liu Shen leave and told him that I can also fulfill you.…… So, Shi Ziju, who was nearly fifty years old at that time, accompanied Liu Shen on the road again.They came to the north, during which they met a fairly enthusiastic young man, Liu Shen thanked him for his kindness, so he gave him a sentence: "The road is three thousand, and if you do it to the extreme, you can be the way." ”I heard that the young man later realized a set of sword techniques in a realm called Black Water, and his life was quite good.But these are all off-topic.All the way to the northernmost Liu Shen, he finally chose to live incognito in a territory.Shi Ziju still takes care of his daily life every day, watching him lock himself in the house all day long, playing the piano, painting, writing articles, and playing games with himself.At that time, the willow ginseng gradually became a little crazy, as if he had fallen into a demon.He repeated all this day after day, even forgetting to sleep and eating, and did not care about everything outside the world, so that he became more and more emaciated, and looked older and more haggard than Shi Ziju, who was more than ten years older than him.Shi Ziju was very worried about him, but after persuading him several times, it did not change Liu Shen's mind, and he could only take care of him as much as possible.Until one day.…… It was a very cold winter, and Shi Ziju still remembers how biting the cold wind was that night, and how the sky was blind to his fingers.He prepared a meal in the kitchen next to him, and was about to serve it to the willow ginseng."
I see!
I get it!
”But at this moment, Liu Shen's somewhat crazy voice suddenly came from the room.Shi Ziju hurriedly walked out of the kitchen room at that time, and was about to go to the door where Liu Shen was, but at this time, a dazzling light suddenly fell from the dome and shone into the house where Liu Shen was.At that moment, Shi Ziju couldn't tell whether he was frightened by the scene in front of him, or controlled by some mysterious force that couldn't be explained, he stood in place, watching the cyan pillar of light flicker in front of his eyes.When he came back to his senses and wanted to go to the house to check, there was no willow ginseng in the house.Shi Ziju didn't know where Liu Shen went, and he waited for a long time, until the snow fell the next year, and Shi Ziju was sure that his husband would never come back.He was taken away.Carried away by the brilliant starlight that fell in the mortal world that night.Shiziju became a little confused.He spends most of his time by Liu Shen's side, sharing his joy and chasing after him.He is his shadow, and when the man is gone, the shadow does not know how to move forward.Therefore, his shadow can only stay in this Yingshui County, and he thinks that maybe there will be a day, and those who go to heaven will also miss the shadow walking in the mortal world.Come and look at him and tell him......
What exactly is the Tao?
It's so wonderful that it makes you leave everything behind.…… And this is another 20 years.So, he wouldn't leave Yingshui County, he thought, what if Mr. came back?
He has to wait for him, even if the possibility of this is very small, but isn't life just for hope?
Thinking of this, the seventy-year-old man sat in the door of the Great Wind Courtyard and sighed, ignoring the cold wind and snow outside, pushed open the window, and looked up at the dark night sky overhead.He used to like to look at the sky like this, looking for a star that shimmered blue, and he thought that maybe when the star lit up, it would be the gentleman who came back to see him.It's a pity that he has never seen such a star, and today is no exception.The old man was a little stunned, he sighed again and muttered to himself."
Sir.""
Can we ever see each other again?"
