Chapter 361 The Taoist flute sound, the birds talk about the Tao(1/2)
At the foot of Qingcheng Mountain.
The houses are sparse and the streets are crisscrossed.
There are people working in the fields.
On the field ridge, a shepherd boy rides a bull and plays the flute.
There was an old man driving a bullock cart filled with still green crops and children, singing loudly.
The song said:
"Tomorrow comes tomorrow, and there are so many tomorrows. I live to wait for tomorrow, and everything will be in vain. If the world is tired of tomorrow, spring will pass and autumn will come, and the old will come. In the morning, I see the water flowing eastward, and in the evening, I see the sun falling in the west. How many tomorrows can there be in a hundred years? Please tell me
Listen to my song tomorrow..."
The children in the car also started singing along.
Luo Qingzhou lifted the car curtain and looked at Qingcheng Mountain not far away.
The mountain peaks are steep and towering into the clouds.
Halfway up the mountain, there are dense trees and misty clouds, making it look like a fairyland.
On the top of the mountain, a Taoist temple is looming, but it cannot be seen clearly.
"Uncle, can you sing?"
Bai Ling suddenly asked.
Luo Qingzhou retracted his gaze, turned around, lowered the curtains, looked at her and said, "No."
Bai Ling smiled and said, "How about I sing a song for us?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "I said no."
Bai Ling said with a strange look on his face: "Isn't my uncle proficient in poetry, lyrics, and songs? I am so good at it, and even won the first place in the national examination, how can I not sing?"
Luo Qingzhou said directly: "I just don't want to sing for you."
Bai Ling immediately pouted, turned around and said, "Miss, my uncle is bullying me."
Then he said: "Chanchan, my uncle is bullying me."
Miss Qin did not speak.
Xia Chan suddenly said with a cold face, "Sing."
Bai Ling immediately clapped his hands and said proudly: "Uncle, Chan Chan ordered you to sing!"
Luo Qingzhou glanced at Xia Chan, paused, and smiled: "Okay, let's listen to Chan Chan. What song does Chan Chan want to listen to?"
Xia Chan didn't know how to answer, so she looked at Bai Ling.
Bai Ling showed two shallow dimples on his face and smiled: "As long as it sounds good, it's fine."
Luo Qingzhou pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's sing a song 'Farewell'."
Miss Qin glanced at him when she heard the name.
Luo Qingzhou cleared his throat and started singing: "Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the green grass reaches the sky, the evening breeze blows the willow flute, and the sunset is outside the mountain..."
Finished the song.
Bailing said with excitement on his face: "Uncle, it sounds good, it sounds good! Can you teach me how to sing? I want to sing too!"
Luo Qingzhou teased smoothly: "Call me brother."
Bai Ling: "???"
When Luo Qingzhou saw Miss Qin and Xia Chan looking over, he quickly said: "You're just kidding, come and sing with me..."
Bai Ling gave him a strange look.
"Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road..."
A clear, clear voice like a lark soon sounded in the carriage.
Luo Qingzhou discovered that this girl was very talented in singing, and her singing was much better than his own. Both her voice and musicality were excellent.
When the carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain.
The clear and melodious song of Bai Ling was still ringing in the carriage: "The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, half of my close friends are scattered, a pot of turbidity is used to spread all the remaining joy, don't sleep in the cold tonight..."
"Chanchan, does it sound good?"
"Um."
Xia Chan's eyes were also shining, and she obviously liked this song very much.
"My uncle is so awesome."
Bai Ling flattered me again, and then begged: "Uncle, please teach me how to sing in the future, okay?"
Luo Qingzhou promised: "Okay, I will teach you to sing and Chanchan to read in the future."
Miss Qin glanced at him and said nothing.
The curtains next to them were suddenly opened from the outside, and Nangong Xueyi's voice sounded outside: "Who was singing just now? What song was they singing? It sounded great!"
Luo Qingzhou quickly whispered: "Bailing, don't mention me."
Unexpectedly, Nangong Xueyi has very sharp ears. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone say from outside: "Master Luo, I heard it. You asked Bai Ling not to mention you. You wrote the song, right?"
Luo Qingzhou: "..."
Several people got up and got out of the car.
Nangong Xueyi said with a flattering face: "Bailing, can you sing the song you just sang to me again? You just sang it intermittently and I didn't hear it clearly."
Bai Ling couldn't refuse, so he looked at his uncle.
Luo Qingzhou turned away, ignored her, and walked towards Miss Qin.
"Good sister, please, please..."
Nangong Xueyi was like a child, hugging Bai Ling's arm and acting coquettishly.
Bai Ling had no choice but to say: "Okay."
"Let's go up the mountain."
Nangong Meijiao didn't know whether she gave up on this sister, or felt too embarrassed to care about her anymore, so she walked directly towards the steps up the mountain.
Zhu'er supported Miss Qin and followed behind.
Mei'er supported Song Ruyue and followed beside her.
Miss Qin and Xia Chan also followed.
Bai Ling followed behind, Nangong Xueyi wrapped around her.
After walking up the steps, Bai Lingfang sang crisply and melodiously. The singing voice and the tones quickly made the entire mountain road become quiet.
There were not many people climbing the mountain at this time, but there were also tourists in twos and threes walking together.
They were all talking to each other while climbing the mountain. When they heard this clear and beautiful singing, they immediately became quiet.
In the quiet and empty mountains and forests, the songs are melodious and sweet, and the beautiful tunes are heard by everyone, just like the sounds of nature.
Mother and daughter Qin Weimo and Song Ruyue were also fascinated by what they heard.
"At the end of the sky, in the corner of the earth, there are only a few close friends... Life is rarely about reunions, but there are many separations..."
Bai Ling sang it several times, and when he saw that everyone seemed to like it, he was very happy and proud, and continued to sing hard.
Everyone had been struggling to climb the mountain, but now they were all listening to the songs, feeling relaxed and happy, and they had temporarily forgotten their fatigue.
At some point, a flute sound suddenly sounded from the forest on the right.
The sound of the flute was clear and melodious, and it actually seemed like an accompaniment. It was playing along with the tune from Bai Ling's mouth. The two of them sang together, and they became more and more harmonious and more beautiful.
Bai Ling was so immersed in his own singing that he didn't even notice.
The others all looked towards the woods on the right, but saw no human figures and only heard the sound of the flute.
The sound of the flute gradually merged with the singing, and everyone didn't think much about it and continued to listen happily.
Halfway up the mountain, Bai Ling finally couldn't hold on any longer and stopped, panting and saying: "I can't stand it anymore, I'm so tired..."
The others were also panting from exhaustion, their faces were red, and their temples were covered with sweat.
Miss Qin Er was already dripping with sweat, and her whole body was weak. Pearl took a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on her forehead and said, "Miss, sit down and have a rest."
Everyone sat down on the steps nearby and rested.
Nangong Xueyi wiped her sweat and praised: "Bailing has a beautiful voice. He was born to sing. No wonder he is called Bailing."
When Bai Ling heard the compliment, he was very happy. He didn't even say anything modest and looked at his uncle proudly.
Nangong Meijiao looked at the forest on the right, with a look of caution on her face.
The sound of the flute also disappeared as the singing stopped, and the flute player never appeared from the beginning to the end.
When Bai Ling was talking to Nangong Xueyi, a bird suddenly flew out of the forest and landed on the steps next to her. It opened its two small round eyes and looked at her curiously, saying "chirp" in its mouth.
