"Let us study and see if we can find clues from the map displayed on the bamboo slips. If you find any discovery, you will not forget to remind you if you have confirmed the secret location of the bamboo slips."

After taking out a large stone slab with murals and a large rack of bronze chimes, Zhao Qing casually invited a few words and studied these two collections.

Regarding the founder of the music creation, some people think it was the music official Linglun of the Yellow Emperor era, some people think it was written by Fuxi in a more distant era, and some people say it was the first to be created by Zhu Xiang and Ge Tian. In short, it is not very clear.

Following the "Ten Songs of the Drums in the Middle", "Nine Abyss", "Heirs", "Jiu Shao", "Six Columns", "Six Yings", "Da Zhang", "Southern Wind" in the ancient emperor eras, to the "Nine Debate", "Nine Songs", "Da Yi", "Morning Dew", "Da Wu", "Three Elephants", and "Under the Thorn" in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties;

Although most of the remaining chapters that have been lost, or only many repairs are left, and new chapters created by later generations are similar to the many versions of "Lianshan Yi" and "Guizang Yi" that are difficult to distinguish between true and false, they still have the sacred power that can reach the sky and the earth.

Most of the Qi Refiners and Wizards in ancient times studied the way of music, using it as a medium for communicating the way of heaven and earth and conveying messages to mortals.

In the current era, since the Zhou Gong determined the ritual and music system, various rituals such as court banquets, court appointments, and sacrifices were needed everywhere during banquets. "The music in the hall is the most important thing", and chimes are mostly played.

"Yi Li·Xiu Shu Li" records: "Bells and drums are reserved for the princes in the world." "Mencius·Wan Zhangxia" says: "The great success of the world is that the sound of gold is the sound of jade."

In the Zhou Dynasty, chimes were better than qin, zither, flute and flute in terms of rhythm, range, and sound quality. They gathered the essence of music and music, and were rituals and music instruments representing hierarchy and power. They stipulated that the emperor placed on four sides, three sides of the princes and two sides of the doctor, while the scholars could only use one side.

The set of chimes collected by Wei Yang in the Lanfeng Pavilion are divided into two groups: small at the top and large at the bottom. The top is nine knob bells and six nylon bells at the bottom, with a total of fifteen. After vicissitudes, they are simple and heavy, and are decorated with exquisite dragon patterns and vortex patterns.

On the surface of the fifteen bronze bells, a large number of seal scripts are engraved, recording the repertoire and musical scores that the chimes have mainly played in the past.

According to Zhao Qing's detailed investigation, it seems that it was "Da Yi" written by Shang Tang, but since it was not a Yue Chinese text, she could only identify the probabilities of it for the time being, and it was suspected that only a small part of "Da Yi" was engraved.

The smaller the clock body, the smaller its sound, but the higher its tone. On the contrary, the larger the clock body, the louder its sound, but the lower its tone. By tying the front and sides of the clock, two ups and downs can be played.

Although he had not studied music in the official school where he taught the Six Arts in Kuaiji City, Zhao Qing had gained a lot of music experience in Xiaoyaozi. Seeing such an exquisite set of bronze chimes, he couldn't help but try it.

I saw a stream of air visible to the chimes, gathering towards her fingers like a vortex, and then condensed into a heavy ball, hitting the side of the smallest knob bell.

The bronze bell was hit by the air mass, and immediately the solemn and grand, loud and loud sound of the bell echoed melodiously and never ended for a long time.

However, unlike Zhao Qing's imagination that the sound of the bell contained in the huge power, the sound from the bronze bell seemed to be nothing special when she knocked it just now. Apart from being much heavier than the Qinse-like instruments and the sound lasted for quite a long time, it was completely an ordinary instrument.

Of course, if it is really just an ordinary musical instrument, it is obviously impossible to withstand the power used by Zhao Qing in a random knock, and it will be shaken into pieces.

Could it be that this piece is suspected to be assembled in a set of fifteen magic weapons of "Six Qi" levels, and is worth at least half a bronze chime with a magic weapon, with only the characteristic of being particularly strong in the material?

I guessed the doubts in her heart. Prince and Wu, who were from the palace and had been in contact with chimes before, smiled slightly, put their swords back into the sheath, and used the hilt of the sword as a hammer. They came to the set of chimes that were more than five feet tall and about eight feet long, and simply tried the sound and started playing music.

With the crisp sound of the upper knives, Zhao Qing felt as if he saw a group of elks eating wild grass leisurely in an empty field. He heard the sound of their roars, one by one.

Soon, the perspective turned to a grand reception banquet. With the musical accompaniment of "Playing the Phoenix", the host and the guests offered gifts to each other and drank, and the atmosphere was very cheerful...

Although there are only fifteen bronze bells and thirty notes in theory, through different hitting methods, the changes in harmony, and the power is integrated into the control and interference of the air in the bell, the sounds that can be played far exceed the imagination of ordinary people and are extremely colorful.

The "Deer Ming" of this song, which is a banquet music song, has not yet been played, and Zhao Qing has already roughly understood the role of this chime instrument when playing music.

"The Book of Rites: Music" says: "Music is not the Huangzhong, Dalu, string song, Ganyang, and the last part of music."

"Happiness is joy. A gentleman is happy to get the way, while a villain is happy to get the desires. Using the way to control desires, he will be happy without chaos; forgetting the way for desires, he will be confused without happiness. Therefore, a gentleman rebelled against his affection to harmonize his ambitions, broaden his joy to achieve his teachings, and enjoy his actions and the people will move forward, so he can observe virtue."

The truly superior way of music is not simply conveying the message of sound, but carrying it in music, explaining "Tao" and "morality", which sounds deep in the hearts of the audience, and convincing people through the collision and confrontation between worldview and morality.

It is precisely "The sky has sun, moon, stars, mountains, tombs, rivers and seas, and all things mature every year. The state has sages, sages, bureaucrats in the Zhou Dynasty, and people have words, clothes, and physical appearance, which is called joy."

In short, if you want to use the way of music to hurt the enemy, the music played in this process is just a medium for confronting the way of the two sides.

Musical instruments like chimes are props that amplify the power of spiritual confrontation, and can impress the way in the musician's heart into the listener's heart after modification, and have an additional effect.

For example, if the song "Deer Song" that Prince and Wu are playing at this moment, if he does it specifically while playing music, he can use the bonus effect of chimes to temporarily change the audience with insufficient cultivation deep in his heart into elks and wine bottles in the music, controlling or defeating them.

However, if you fail to integrate your own understanding of Tao and virtue during the performance, it will be difficult to obtain the addition effect of chimes, and you can only exert the effect of ordinary musical instruments with better materials.

After trying to knock on the chimes several times, Zhao Qing thought in his heart: What kind of results will be obtained if he integrates his "Breaking the Heart Sword" that specializes in spiritual flaws into it?

After a brief exchange, she put away the bronze chime and asked several people about the contents of the mural.

Under Ou Ye Wuqi's exploration, this mural was not only long and suspected to have a history of three to four thousand years, but it did not find anything special. It seemed to be just a product of the worship of giants in the south of the Yue Kingdom.

The area where Yue Kingdom was located was actually the residence of the giants of the Fangfeng clan before the Xia Dynasty. After Dayu killed the head of the Fangfeng clan, the Fangfeng clan gradually declined and scattered in all directions, leaving various legends in the surrounding areas of the Yue Kingdom.

Therefore, it is not surprising that there are images of giants on ancient murals, which is actually quite common.

...

Everyone collected and counted the damaged collections around them, and placed them on the Ge ship that was docked on the edge of the wreckage of Lanfeng Pavilion and was not damaged much.

Then, Wengao, who had traveled to various countries and had experienced, controlled the rudder and conveyed power, causing the entire Gebo ship to tremble slightly and retreat, bypassing the range of the destruction of the attic, and sailed in the same direction as when they came.

I had learned about the general situation here from the guests that Wei Yang had invited. After communicating and on-site investigation, the group naturally figured out the correct way to leave here.

After entering the cabin inside the Ge Ship, the internal and external ventilation channels were sealed, and several valves blocking the water flow were passed. With the closing of the last valve, the entire ship seemed to have become a hollow submarine, floating up quickly in deep water.

After passing through the water that had been deep for several miles, the Ge ship was suddenly thrown out of the water, and then fell heavily, splashing more than ten feet of water.

When he opened the sealed cabin and came outside, Zhao Qing quickly discovered that the waters where the Ge ship was located were actually the internal manor that he had seen in the Weishi Shangfang, one of which covered an area of ​​more than ten hectares.

Standing on the deck of the Ge Ship and looking towards the entrance of the Shangfang when she came, she saw an army that was somewhat similar to what she had seen in Wushuo Xiaoyi, with a uniform and ambition quickly pouring in and guarding more than a dozen internal and external passages of the Shangfang.

These elite soldiers did not belong to the secret guards of Yue State like Jiange Camp and Duanyu Camp, but the "Gentleman Army" of Yue Prince who was permanently stationed in Kuaiji City. The entire army had official titles of fourth-class sergeants and above, well-equipped and trained all year round.

The so-called "gentleman" means the son of a scholar-official and noble family. The soldiers of this "gentleman army" can be called "gentleman", and their status is extraordinary and highly valued. Therefore, they are loyal to Goujian and are one of the main sources of the Jiange camp.

...

Two hundred miles away, three hundred feet underground in Kuaiji City, a vast room with a map of Jiuzhou on all sides.

Xin Wenzi, wearing a black dress and white eyebrows, put down the bamboo slips that had just been engraved and placed them on the bookshelf next to him.

Sun Di, who had been trapped here for more than a month, had no choice but to look at the thick stone slab above his head, which was empty. However, under the investigation that he had reached the "Six Qis" level, there were unpredictable rules of heaven and earth.

There are six degrees of Yin and Yang: the sky is the rope, the earth is the basis, spring is the rules, summer is the balance, autumn is the rule, and winter is the power.

After reaching the "Six Qis" state, he began to practice the mysterious and yellow energy of heaven and earth and the four seasons of sun, moon and the four seasons of the sun, moon and earth, and came into contact with the "standards", "rules" and "weighting" of building the way of heaven and earth, so as to sublimate the "principles of all things" and nourish one's own way.

Although Xin Wenzi's realm is unfathomable and his Taoist practice has reached an incredible "Tao reflects the flowing light", Sun Di's cultivation level of entering the "Supreme Six Qi" realm, after a long period of exploration and research, he can barely see some content, pass the time and entertain himself.

"This time, Bi Zhen and Qin Yi are a little self-righteous." Suddenly, Xin Wenzi turned around and glanced at him and said, "Sun Di, have you ever known about the secret organization that King Cheng ordered to be wanted in his later years?"

"It seems that the 'Void Path', which seems to be trying to overturn the Zhou royal family?" Sun Di was extremely wary of this gentle and ordinary old man on the outside. He hesitated for a while, and replied: "When the Zhou Gong mysteriously disappeared, he dared to stand up. It was probably Wu Geng's remaining old subordinate, right?"

"In the past few years, I have never seen them do anything big. I guess they are just a small organization. After thousands of years, in today's world where countries are rising one after another, even if this organization disappears, it's no big deal."

"You have been acting entirely through Wu Zixu's meticulous planning over the past few years." Xin Wenzi smiled and said softly: "Who would have thought that even a top master from the former Jin Dynasty Office had been involved in this secret organization, and still tried to cooperate with me with ideas similar to yours before."

"The top master of the Jin State Office? This unknown 'Void Path' can still recruit such people from this origin?" Sun Di's heart was slightly shocked, and then he felt that this statement was nothing more than nonsense.

After all, since Duke Qing of Jin destroyed the Qi family under the provocation of the Six Lords, and the last two families of the Yangshe clan, Qi Ying and Yangshe, the Jin State has been completely in a situation where the six nobles have a humble office. Where can there be the top masters in the other party?

In fact, after Duke Ping of Jin, Duke Zhao of Jin, Duke Qing of Jin, and Wu of this generation, all had the cultivation level of "Zhongliu Qi" and were not strong enough to control the power of Jin State, so they could only barely maintain the power of the king.

Speaking of which, the two peerless masters who have initially surpassed the Six Qi Realms of the Upper Six Qi Realm, will their power and reputation in the Wu Kingdom be somewhat overwhelmed by Fuchai, the King of Wu who has not yet broken through the Six Qi Realm?

Thinking of this, Sun Di was suddenly shocked and vaguely understood the reason why Wu Zixu often chatted with him about the affairs of Qi State.

"No, Mr. Ji Ran, even if there is a master from the Jin Duke of the 'Void Path', after all, you have mastered me as a hostile to Jin, how could the other party have the idea of ​​cooperation?" He thought about it in his heart, felt more and more unreasonable, and continued to ask.

Could it be that the rumor that "although Xin Wenzi was born in the Song Dynasty, his ancestors were actually in distressed nobles who fled from Jin to Song Dynasty" is indeed true?

"Although I was both the Duke of Jin, I was extremely disappointed with the chaos and the Jin State, which was in conflict with each other before the rebellion of Duke Shanmu of Zhou. Otherwise, I would not have gone far away from Chu and talked about the way to govern the country with King Ping of Chu who had just become independent."

Xin Wenzi plainly revealed the fact that he was from the Duke of Jin, and casually told another unknown secret.

Sun Di never expected that as early as two hundred years ago, Wu She was still the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince of Chu. When Wu Zixu was far from the glory of his descendants after he joined Wu, Wenzi had already become the VIP guest of King Ping of Chu.

Now it seems that the information the other party knew about him was probably just a trivial little corner in Wen Zi's magnificent experience.
