"Well, I started reading the Book of Songs at the age of six, and I could recite it in full at the age of seven!" said Ye Piaoling.

Of course what he told was not a lie. Under the guidance of the old man, Ye Piaoling began reading the Book of Songs and the Spring and Autumn Annals since he was six years old.

"Very good, then do you remember that the "Spring and Autumn" records Zheng, Song, Wei and Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?" Ji Xian asked, wondering if Ye Piaoling was really as he said.

"The youngest son of King Li of Zhou, King Xuan of Zhou, Duke Huan of Zheng, was enfeoffed in Zhengdi and Zheng State after King Xuan of Zhou. After King Wu of Zhou defeated Zhou, he enfeoffed Weizi of Shang to Song; after King Wu of Zhou destroyed Shang, he appointed his younger brother in Kangyi, and was known as Kang Shu. Later, Duke Zhou conferred the original area around Shangdu and the seven tribes of the Yin people to Kang Shu to establish the Wei State; King Wu defeated Zhou and won the title of Master Shangfu in Qiyingqiu and had Qi State."

Ye Piaoling has been familiar with poetry and books since he was a child. Even when he was temporarily living in the Du family, he read the most historical books, especially about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. So when he asked first, he could pinch his hands and felt like he was talking about picking shells on the beach.

"Then do you know what changes have been made in the later music of these Four Kingdoms?" Ji Xian asked Ye Piaoling again.

"I don't understand very well, I hope the third uncle will tell you!" Ye Piaoling shook his head and said honestly.

"The music of these four countries later became their voice of the destruction!" Ji Xian looked at Ye Piaoling and said solemnly. He still had no trace of anger, his face was still like spring breeze, and the more he had only a bigger tone:

"In the later period, the music of Zheng State became extravagant and dissolute, which made people's mind confused; the music of Song State became delicate and weak, which made people's will decadent and unable to cheer up; the music of Wei State became rapid and changeable, which made people irritable; the music of Qi State became arrogant and withdrawn, which made people's mind arrogant and domineering! These are all bad!"

"Well, Uncle San is right! The music reflects the current social situation at that time." Ye Piaoling paused for a moment and said, thinking about Ji Xian's difficulties in saying this.

This is Mr. San Ji, who had warned him to avoid falling into these difficulties in the future. After all, Kunlun’s eighteen sons will be given important tasks by Kunlun in the future, so he should pay attention to his integrity and self-cultivation in the future.

After understanding this, Ye Piaoling stood up and said to Ji Xian: "Thank you for your teachings from the third uncle!"

"Haha" Ji Xian just made a few laughs to answer, then he lowered his head and played the piano on his knees, and slowly Ji Xian sang with the tune that was played.

"Do you still remember the sound of this piano?" Ji Xian asked Ye Piaoling who was listening carefully.

"Well, it seems to be "Daya"!" Ye Piaoling had heard Ji Xian play and chant before, but now he is a little blurred, as if he hears that the content of the poem is "Daya".

"Well, it's "Daya"! Haha, what do you think of it just now?" Ji Xian asked with a smile.

Ye Piaoling thought for a while before saying, "The most suitable one for singing among "Wind", "Ya", and "Ode" is "Ya". The third uncle sang so well.

I have seen it in books that the ancients said that people with broad minds, calm temperaments, and open-mindedness are suitable for singing "Daya". San Bo, you are the person you said to be like the ancients!"

Ye Piaoling said that he had the best impression and feelings for Mr. Ji Xian, who was also the kind of person Ye Piaoling said.

"Haha, Piaoling, you've said it!" Ji Xian said modestly, "Actually, I'm not as good as you said!"

"San Uncle, don't refuse. It's not an exaggeration to describe it as saying that you are a god." Ye Piaoling said with a smile.

"Actually, I am also a human being, no different from ordinary people. The less I have than other brothers, is the secular heart!" Ji Xian thought for a while and said lightly, and these words made Ye Piaoling silent.

Ji Xian looked at Ye Piaoling without saying anything, and the pure and Anse atmosphere suddenly plunged into his heart.

After a long time...

"Piaoling, the piano and sword are understood, and the sound and color are in line. I believe you understand the truth, right?" Ji Xian asked Ye Piaoling, first breaking the silence. He planned to teach Ye Piaoling something.

"Yeah, third uncle, I understand! Since I learned your piano and sword, I have tried to connect the piano meaning into the sword meaning to see if I can pursue a higher level, but no matter what method I use, I can't reach the easy-going and peaceful state you mentioned!" Ye Piaoling expressed his doubts, which was one of his biggest doubts, and he couldn't figure it out.

This is also one of the reasons why he came to Ji Xian.

"It is of course valuable to make progress quickly, but remember that blindly pursuing progress leaves many disadvantages, and hasteness will not be achieved!" Ji Xian taught Ye Piaoling earnestly, "You have learned a lot of things for a while, and there are still many things that have not been learned. There is nothing in this world that can be accomplished overnight. Everything must be down-to-earth, not hurry, and have to take it slowly!"

"Yeah, remember!" All the words of Ye Piaoling and Ji Xian were recorded in his heart.

"Piaoling, among the Eighteen Sons of Kunlun, I know you are a very unique one. You are smarter than anyone else and higher than anyone's pursuit. You usually look gentle and kind-hearted, and this is also the reason why you and I are still talking about the piano and the sword here today."

Ji Xian said to Ye Piaoling carefully, "But I know that your desires are more than ordinary people, so I don't want to see you change yourself in the future and make yourself unable to even recognize yourself!"

"Well, I understand!" Ye Piaoling nodded when he heard Ji Xian's words. He would not deny his lofty ambitions. That time, he and Yu Yunsong were "cooking wine to discuss heroes" on the mountain, which could also show Ye Piaoling's ambitions.

He will not forget Ji Xian's teachings. Ji Xian was very worried that Ye Piaoling would become like a devil in the future. After all, he knew that there were some things he could think of.

"Dailing, everything has a process, and one step at a time is the most reliable. Just like me, I have wanted to integrate the piano intention into the sword intention throughout my life, but I still cannot reach the perfect state!" Ji Xian waved his hand and said, "Some things can be forced, while some cannot be forced! Everything will be arranged by God's will!"

"Well, remember, Uncle San!" Ye Piaoling said modestly, and he could hear what Mr. Ji Xian said.

"Uncle San, I'm here to pay homage to you this time. In addition to asking you to give me advice on Mr. Qin, I want to ask you to give me advice on the swordsmanship, I hope you can be successful!" Ye Piaoling said to Di Jixian with a gentle expression.

Even if it is a request, it is so peaceful.

"Oh, do you guys want to secretly learn the "Piaojian" that I only have two remaining tricks?" Ji Xian pointed at Ye Piaoling and said with a smile:

"Okay, since you have learned Qi Jiu, if you don't teach you the remaining two tricks and make you want to learn a mess, others will blame me for being stingy with Ji Xian for keeping my things!"

"Then I would like to thank the third uncle for your accomplishment!" Ye Piaoling said excitedly.
