Taimiao, Xun Yi and Emperor Cheng Yuan were thinking about their own things, and a cool breeze blew through, waking up Emperor Cheng Yuan. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info directly slipped Xun Yiti to a temporary room in the dormitory. Shen Wei and the others couldn't get close, so they could only stand guard at the door.

"You've met me on the road, and I won't hide it from you. Indeed, that Liu is my daughter. When I went with your father to Hehuajiu, I inadvertently left behind the dragon species. ”

"Ahem...... cough cough ......" Xun Yi almost choked when he drank water: "Your Majesty said that he was having an affair, can you not bring your father?"

Emperor Cheng Yuan ignored him and got straight to the point: "Are you sure you see the royal jade pendant?"

"Of course, the badge of the royal family, the minister will still admit his mistake?" Xun Yi's mind flickered, and when he saw Emperor Chengyuan's brows, he asked cautiously: "Isn't this given by His Majesty?"

"I know the severity, how can I come forward easily?" Emperor Cheng Yuan glanced at the young man in front of him, and stopped talking.

This time, Emperor Cheng Yuan went to Longchuan County, one was for his illegitimate daughter, the other was for the personal investigation of Longchuan County, and the third was to go to the Xun family to find the whereabouts of Gu Zhao's secret vault.

It's a pity that the ancient Zhao secret vault is at the bottom of the Xun family's old mansion, and outsiders can't detect it at all. And the matter of Longchuan County has now been concluded. As for the illegitimate daughter, Emperor Cheng Yuan only secretly visited from a distance, and did not come forward in person at all.

"Then Liu Yao's name wasn't obtained by you?"

"It's not. "Emperor Chengyuan sent a warlock to investigate, and news came soon after. The Liu family was in a mess, and the three of them were nowhere to be found.

"I don't know the whereabouts of this daughter. It wasn't until I heard the rumors at the beginning of the year that I took the opportunity to meditate on a private visit. Now it seems that he was shaded by a traitor. ”

Xun Yi was silent, and he gradually figured it out. He can mistakenly think that Emperor Cheng Yuan is a private visit, so can't other people think of it?

"That's it, Zuo just recognized a daughter, fortunately not a son. Emperor Cheng Yuan looked up to the sky and sighed: "See the move, you kid should not know about this matter, so as not to involve your Xun family." ”

"Oh. Xun Yi silently retreated, and someone from the palace led the three of them to Kagura.

Kagura Priest is a newly built institution. A palace was selected as the place where the musicians were stationed, and the corresponding musicians were selected from the Imperial Music Office for arrangement.

The music of worshipping the gods has its own rules, and it is played by the instrument of eight sounds, with as few as 16 people and as many as 500 people, practicing the music of the ensemble.

Xun Yi came to Kagurashi and was immediately greeted by four sacrificial sake and a music warden.

The four sacrificial wines are people from the Taimiao, and their expressions are indifferent. But the music warden was born in the Music Department, and when he saw Xun Yi, he looked flattering. This is the head of the Xun family, as long as he nods slightly, his position can only be mentioned. The highest grade of music is no more than the fifth grade, and this warden is only from the sixth grade.

"Childe is finally here. The warden invited Xun Yi in, and looked at the two big men beside Xun Yi. These two people were so angry that the warden didn't dare to say much, so they invited the three of them to sit inside.

"Your Majesty has a decree, please supervise the music. The little one and the four ceremonial officers are at your disposal. "The music warden introduced himself, his surname is Wu, and his name is Wuziye.

"Lord Wu doesn't need to be polite, in the next white ding, you can't be like this. Having said that, Xun Yi sat on the main seat as he should be. He scanned the main hall, where there were various musical instruments, and various musicians stood beside them waiting for him to speak.

There is a bell on each side of the hall, a bronze bell at the door, and three large drums on the other side. In addition, there are earth-to-xun, jade chime, string qin, guzheng, wooden coffin, yellow sheng, pan flute and other musical instruments.

Although Hou Cheng is in charge of ritual music, he knows nothing about music. I only saw sixty-four people in the temple: "No one practices martial arts, it seems that they are all ordinary people, so there is nothing to be afraid of." ”

"Sixty-four people, eight people each?" Xun Yi glanced at it and gradually understood: "This time use the ensemble of sixty-four people?"

"Yes. Taichang Temple has listed the process. Wu Ziye presented the copywriting to Xun Yi.

Shen Wei glanced at it secretly and couldn't help but speak. The whole set of ritual regulations is very cumbersome, from the flags and wooden carts at the beginning, to the jade coins and brocade silks used for sacrifices, the whole animal sacrifices, and then to the great music, divine wine and so on. All of this is too much trouble. These are all preparations in advance, and Taijoji has listed three songs for Kagura.

"One is the "Great Hui Shangle" played simply with chimes, the other is the "Great Spirit Pilgrimage Music" played by the ensemble, and the other is the "Heavenly Dragon Divine Song" dedicated to worshipping the sky. Xun Yi looked at the list and smiled bitterly.

"Li Laoqi doesn't pit me, he's not happy, right?" Dahui Shangle is a piece of music that Xun Yi heard when he was sacrificing to the gods, and later asked for the score to study at home. If he uses the merit clock, he can play it himself. But in the Great Zhou, everything comes according to the rules of mortals.

"I heard that "Dahui Shangle" was ordered by the nobles in the palace himself, and it was specified that the prince would attend in person. Wu Ziye hesitated, and said: "The bell is the gift of all music, and there are not many people in the Music Department who are good at playing chimes, especially the extremely difficult music of "Dahui Shangle", and only three of the eight musicians we found have played it. ”

"'Dahui Shangle' is extremely difficult to play, and I still heard Mr. Zhang Muzi play it once when I was a child. Xun Yi held his chin: "You may invite him again?"

Wu Ziye shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Mr. Zhang Muzi has traveled all over the world, and we have never had the opportunity to see him. However, Master Liu has to be instructed by Master Zhang and can play. ”

At this time, an elegant musician stood up at the chime on the right side and met Xun Yi.

"We've met?" Xun Yi saw this person and thought about it carefully: "When I listened to Mr. Zhang Muzi play back then, it seemed that you were playing music next to you?"

"I haven't seen you for ten years, and it's rare that the son still remembers it. Master Liu said: "I remember that Gongzi still asked for music scores from Master Zhang, and Gongzi learned the sound of Zhong Lu, I don't know how much you can remember about this "Dahui Shangle"?"

"I can play 'Dahui Shang'. Xun Yi was full of confidence, and he tried to play this music when he was in the underworld. But that time it was an artifact, and now it's a mortal bell, I don't know if it's feasible.

Hearing this, Master Liu's expression was relieved: ""Dahui Shangle" needs fifty rhythm chimes to be able to play. According to estimates, four people can barely control. ”

After pondering for a while, Xun Yi said to the others: "You first play the "Great Spirit Pilgrimage Music", let me listen to the timbre. "Dahui Shangle" will go back and talk about it. ”

The musicians sat down and began to play.

In the beginning, starting with the bronze bell. With the first sound, it symbolizes the beginning of the joy of worshipping the gods. At a specific time and rhythm, the bells are chimes one after the other, and when the third bell strikes, the group of chimes next to it begins to accompani. The crisp chimes and bronze bells work together until the seventh sound, when the drums begin to echo. By the ninth tone, ancient music such as the qin and the reed were played one after another.

The musicians rehearsed for three days, gradually becoming large-scale and closely cooperating. Xun Yi listened from the sidelines, tapping the beat with the Dingyun hammer from time to time, and when the song was over, he pointed to the two people playing the pan flute next to him.

Pan flute, in ancient times, there is a saying of "Linglun making flute". It is a combination of uneven bamboo pipes. If Xun Yi hadn't lost the pan flute in his hand, I'm afraid he would have specialized in flute music instead of learning the joy of chimes.

"You two will play the third verse of the Pilgrimage. ”

When the two heard this, they replayed the third stanza. There is no ensemble, and people can hear the unevenness between the two at once.

"Whoever played it wrong, you know? ”

Playing one side more, the sound of the two flutes gradually harmonized.

"The one on the left, yes, that's you. Replay the eighth measure, and you're having trouble with the transition and exhalation. "Xun Yi has been exposed to ensemble music since he was a child, and he is extremely proficient in this aspect. Even the slightest flaw can tell the problem.

Then he pointed to a person who played Xun, "Go back and ask Master Wu to change it for you, I heard that the sound quality of this Xun in your hand is not right." ”

Holding a fixed cloud hammer, he casually pointed out the shortcomings of many people's performances. Immediately convinced these veteran musicians, and they no longer dared to despise this teenager.

The next Tenryu Song is also barely usable. Only on "Dahui Shangle", there is no corresponding person at all.

Fifty chimes are used to play the music of Daiki. A large wooden frame, divided into three levels. There are twenty-five medium-sized chimes in the middle and ten large chimes in the bottom. The top layer is divided into two groups, one set of seven laws and one group of eight laws. The division of labor among the four people, one plays the long note in the bottom, one plays the main note in the center, and the two have a set of small bells on each top.

Xun Yi and the other three didn't know each other at all, and the other three didn't cooperate with each other. The four of them mastered fifty chimes, barely able to play, but there was no sense of cooperation with each other, and the music was completely out of rhythm.

"No, four people can't play at all. Xun Yi had no choice but to give up, so he had to find another solution. (To be continued.) )
