The festive and warm scenery of the scene was ruined by this sentence, everyone's posture was fixed, and the venue was suddenly deadly. Jin Pinggong was the first to break the deadlock, saying, "Then, Master, how do you explain to the widow what you just said? ”

Shi Kuang said: "There is a musician named Shi Yan in Shang Xuan, and Shi Yan composed a lot of music that is called 'the sound of beauty' by later generations, in order to satisfy Shang Xuan's extravagant and depraved life. When King Wu was fighting, Shi Yan fled from Chaoge and wanted to go to Dongyi to seek refuge in Feilian; But when he was caught up by the Zhou army by the Pushui River, he threw himself into the water with the piano and died. The piece has long been lost, and it is unlikely that this score will appear in the Guardian Treasury Mansion! ”

Jin Pinggong stammered and asked, "But if it is lost, how can the master know that this piece was made by Shi Yan?" ”

Shi Kuang asked Shi Juan if he got the song on the edge of Pushui, and Shi Juan replied honestly: "Yes." As a result, the unsolved case was solved.

Although Shi Kuang had already told Jin Pinggong that "this is the sound of the death of the country, and it cannot be ended", the monarch with a human head and a pig's brain still asked Shi Juan to finish the song, as if the death of the Jin Kingdom had nothing to do with him. Shi Juan carried out the order under tremendous psychological pressure, sweating profusely, and trembling.

Jin Ping's public intention was still unfinished, and asked Shi Kuang: "This song is very sad, what is the name?" Shi Kuang replied that it was called "Qing Shang".

Jin Pinggong asked if there was anything more tragic than "Qing Shang", and Shi Kuang said that "Qing Zheng" was even worse.

Jin Pinggong wanted to listen to "Qing Zheng" once, and Shi Kuang replied: "The ancient "Qing Zheng" was played for virtuous kings, but now the prince is thin and not enough to listen. ”

Jin Pinggong insisted on listening, but Shi Kuang had no choice but to play the piano. The music is divided into three sections, the first section of the piano sounds, and suddenly sixteen black cranes fly from the south, divided into two teams and land on the wall around the Langmen (south gate of the Qiqi Palace); When the second section is played, the black crane begins to form a formation with the melody; When the third stanza is played, the black crane circles and dances, leading its neck to sing. The power of the sound of the piano passed through the clouds to the heavens, and then refracted back from the sky, like the music of the heavenly palace. When the piece was finished, the black crane flew up and circled around Shi Kuang's head, as if to pay the highest respect to the great musician, and then flapped its wings and flew away.

Jin Ping Gong was overjoyed, and got up to toast to the teacher. After drinking the wine in the cup, Jin Pinggong asked again: "Is there a more pathetic tune than "Qing Zheng"? Shi Kuang said that "Qingjiao" is the saddest.

Jin Pinggong wanted to listen to "Qingjiao" again, Shi Kuang frowned and said, "This one is really impossible!" In the past, the Yellow Emperor was on Mount Tai and the ghosts and gods, when the Yellow Emperor rode the elephant car driven by six dragons, the god of fire and wood was accompanied by Bi Fang, the Chi was especially the forerunner, the wind swept the road, the rain master sprinkled the road, the tiger and wolf were in front, the ghosts and gods were in the back, the snake was on the ground, and the phoenix was on top, so this was the song "Qingjiao". The first king only occasionally used this pleasure when sacrificing Mount Tai, and the prince's virtue is shallow and his courage is insufficient, so he is afraid that he will be frightened by the ghosts and gods, so don't listen to it! ”

But now, even if Jin Mourning Gong ran out of the coffin and put his sword against his neck, it couldn't stop him from asking Shi Kuang to spoil this music. Shi Kuang had no choice but to play "Qingjiao" again.

"Qingjiao" is also divided into three sections, the first paragraph has just started, someone saw the northwest sky in the extreme distance suddenly rise endless black clouds, endless black clouds like a huge tsunami in the "mad dog wave" like the rush to the Qi Palace. From time to time, the light of the chain of fire flashed from the dark clouds, accompanied by a faint thunder. Then the wind blew up, tore the curtains, overturned the table, blew away the beans, and the roof tiles fell to the ground and smashed to pieces; The downpour was mixed with hail pouring down, and the people at the scene bent over to protect their heads, and some people fell from the platform in a panic and did not know the direction and died, injured and disabled.

But Shi Kuang was unmoved, and still devoted himself to the rhythm of the terrifying scene he created, and the sound of Qingyue's piano penetrated the various sounds made by the wind, thunder and lightning, and still accurately sent every note into people's ears; However, the storm did not hinder Shi Kuang in any way, and even seemed to be in a state of receiving or receiving, slow or urgent, with the sound of his piano; A huge tornado hovered in the air above Zino's head, and countless erratic ghosts seemed to appear in the cyclone, and those ghosts and gods were happy or sad, shouting and dancing, looking at Zino with complicated expressions, and listening carefully to every note he played.

Jin Pinggong collapsed to the ground, he almost peed his pants in fright (if the Huaxia people were wearing pants at that time), shouted incoherently to the eunuchs and guards, and shouted to Shi Kuang: "Stop!" But suddenly a voice from the underworld came to mind: "No! Biao ah (Jin Ping's official name)! Although you are a monarch, you can't lure us out and don't send us back! Wherever we start and where we end, otherwise we will remain in the air homeless! ”

After a while, the music reached its peak, and the ghosts and gods in the cyclone scattered or gathered, slowly rising, and suddenly swooped towards the ground with their teeth and claws....... The music stopped abruptly, the cyclone exploded instantly, and the ghost disappeared with the cyclone. People were soaked, disheveled, sitting or lying down, and in a state of embarrassment. Jin Pinggong gradually came to his senses, but saw that the stage was in a mess, and the sky was already clear after the rain, and the soft golden afternoon sun was warmly sprinkled on the land after the rain.

Jin Pinggong was afraid that his life would be too plain and comfortable, and he ended up in a big trouble for himself; Since then, he has suffered from a stubborn illness, and every time it is windy and rainy, he will have palpitations and shortness of breath, cold sweat and cold sweat, and the more he is treated, the more serious his illness becomes; He eventually died in the third year.

Later generations did not limit their evaluation of Shi Kuang to him as a great musician, but also believed that he had also reached a very high level of morality, and dared to speak out, without condoning the mistakes made by the Marquis of Jin.

One time Jin Pinggong drank too much at a banquet, so he began to talk nonsense again. He said, "It's good to be a monarch! You can do whatever you want! ”

Shi Kuang smashed the piano at him, and Jin Pinggong was hit hard, and he couldn't help but be furious, baring his teeth and grinning: "Is the master crazy?" How dare you attack the widow? ”

Shi Kuang said: "There is a scoundrel villain talking nonsense here, and it is he who is beaten by the ministers, not the prince." ”

Jin Pinggong said: "That word was said by a widow! ”

Shi Kuang said: "Definitely not! Heaven established the monarch to make him take on the important task of sacrificing the ancestors of ghosts and gods and leading the army to defend the national community; and not to make him oppress the power of the people, and corrupt and degenerate. This is a truth that everyone in the world knows, how can a prince not know it? So it is definitely not the prince who said this! ”

Jin Pinggong lowered his head helplessly and said, "Okay, the widow knows that he is wrong!" ”
