Chapter 587 - The Qin Song That Doesn't Advance and Retreats?
"Actually, the piece you just played is very close to that realm, but there is still something missing, I think you can feel it yourself. As for him...... I don't know who he is, and I don't need to, because I've been by his side since I was born. ”
Ye Chen guessed in his heart that the birth that Wu Bao said should be the time when he produced spiritual wisdom, so could this him be the Emperor Lei Yuan?
Thinking of this, Ye Chen suddenly felt that all his thoughts were connected, and he shouldn't be wrong, after all, this cave was built by Emperor Lei Yuan. Perhaps the value of the things left here is higher than the value expected by himself and Vortex Island, and Emperor Lei Yuan wants to select the descendants who are truly qualified to get these things through assessment.
"Alright, come on, I'll wait for you to play the full tune. Leaving a word, Wu Bao's voice disappeared.
Ye Chen was a little depressed in his heart, although he had figured out the key point of the matter, but how to pass this ultimate assessment, but still had no clue, Wu Bao could only hear whether the song had reached that realm, and could not provide himself with any guidance and help, everything could only rely on himself.
You must know that the sequel to "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud" played just now was composed by Ye Chen's sudden inspiration, but when he played the last bar, the inspiration in Ye Chen's mind suddenly disappeared. At that moment, he was keenly aware that if he dared to continue playing any note without inspiration, he would be met with a terrible backlash.
Recalling carefully, Ye Chen couldn't be sure for a while whether the state at that time could be called inspiration, maybe it could also be called an epiphany, but he himself was still missing something and couldn't realize the last verse.
Brushing his hand on the piano again, the tune of "Xiaoxiang Water and Clouds" appeared again in the Star Picking Tower, the same unpredictable, the same flowing clouds, and the same abrupt stop when the sequel reached the last bar.
In this playing, Ye Chen felt a greater sense of crisis at the last moment than last time. There must be some key point that you haven't grasped, and if you can't think it through, you will be worried about your life if you continue to play.
What is missing? Ye Chen's brows furrowed and he tattooed himself over and over again, but he still couldn't grasp the essentials after thinking about it.
Unexpectedly, Ye Chen played it again, and after playing, he thought about it again, but he couldn't think of it, so he continued to play. Ye Chen stubbornly tried to find a solution in repeated attempts, but he still couldn't play any more notes.
In the boring playing over and over again, I don't know how long time passed, Ye Chen felt that he couldn't go on like this, and if he continued to play like this, the tune would lose its original spirituality. The problem is not in the song "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud", it is entirely because of myself.
Although I knew that the problem was on me, I couldn't figure out what was wrong. If it is the degree of condensation of the divine soul or the lack of comprehension of the law of sound, then it is not a problem that can be solved at all.
Ye Chen's intuition told him that this should not be because his hard power was not enough, but because he was missing something that couldn't be explained, so he no longer was entangled in himself, but set his sights on the Star Picking Tower.
For some reason, Ye Chen suddenly became interested in this building, and felt that maybe he could have an epiphany and something to do with the Star Picking Tower. Putting the piano away, Ye Chen stood up and slowly walked up in the Star Picking Tower, and began to observe every detail of this building.
Originally, in Ye Chen's eyes, the Star Picking Tower was just an ordinary wooden building, except for the gorgeous decoration, there was nothing unique. And when Ye Chen really looked at this building, he realized how short-sighted he was habitually.
There is indeed nothing unusual about the Star Picking Tower from the building material to the structure, but Ye Chen missed a key point, that is, who built this building and who used it.
Under Ye Chen's careful induction, he found that every piece of wood in the Star Picking Tower was not an ordinary wood. This is not to say that there is anything unusual about the wood itself, but I don't know how many pieces of music have been played in this star-picking building, and there are even many pieces of music that have reached that realm, and these woods have undergone metamorphosis under the subtle influence of music.
Ye Chen found that the wood in the Star Picking Tower has the effect of sound transmission and sound absorption, and it is also a level of music, the more profound the tune, the more it will be absorbed by these woods and transmitted to every part of the Star Picking Tower, which not only makes the material of the wood itself evolve, but also gives more feedback to the players through the music that has been absorbed in the wood, and invisibly improves the comprehension of the players.
Why can I suddenly have an epiphany when playing "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud", I am afraid it has something to do with these woods, Ye Chen thought in his heart.
So, can he directly feel the tune of the realm that remains in these woods? Ye Chen suddenly felt very excited, and felt that this might be a feasible solution.
Ye Chen fused his spirit into a piece of wood on the handrail of the staircase, but he didn't get any response for a while. He fused his soul into the wood above his head, but there was no response. Trying it one by one, Ye Chen found that there were some notes hidden in these woods, but he couldn't sense it through the fusion of gods and souls, and everything seemed to have gone back to a dead end.
Sound absorption, sound transmission. Ye Chen repeated these two words, and suddenly thought, if you want to get a response from wood, how can you do it without a tone?
Thinking of this, Ye Chen immediately took out the guqin, and every time he played a short section, he felt the changes in the wood with his soul, and found that there was indeed a sound of notes coming out of it. So Ye Chen kept going up and down in the Star Picking Tower, changing his position, feeling the different notes fed back by each piece of wood.
In doing so, of course, you can't get a complete tune directly. Because Ye Chen understands that with his own ability, no matter what song is played, he can't directly stimulate all the wood in the entire building to connect them and give him a direct response, so it is better to feel it slowly like this, and he can also see the big from the small.
When Ye Chen walked three times back and forth in the Star Picking Tower, he obviously found that he had more understanding of the music of that realm, so he returned to the place where he originally played and played "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud" again.
This time, the piece doesn't stop at the end of the last section, but pops down another five notes before it ends. Although the progress was small, at least Ye Chen had a faint sense of what to do.
After making some progress, Ye Chen planned to continue trying while the iron was hot, and began to bounce over and over again. But no matter how hard I tried, the progress stopped at the position of five notes, and I could not continue any further.
Obviously, I feel that I have touched the threshold of that realm, why is it wrong? Do we need to explore the Star Picking Tower more comprehensively? Ye Chen asked himself, and felt that this was obviously not a solution, because Ye Chen didn't know how many notes there would be in the last bar of the complete version of "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud", so when would it be a head?
When Ye Chen was depressed, Wu Bao's voice came out again. "Huh, you don't seem to be playing the right one. ”
Hearing Wu Bao's voice, Ye Chen suddenly came to his senses, "What's the matter, haven't I improved compared to before?" Hearing Wu Bao say that he was playing the wrong one, Ye Chen felt very curious.
