"I understand, but we can't do nothing during this period, right?" Jin Xishan reminded with a smile.
Liu Qingshan nodded: "Give him the freedom to enter the record company in the name of internship, but he will not be paid during this period!"
"Okay, I'll tell Ajie tomorrow!"
In addition to being a singer, Ajie also has an arrangement as a department manager of a record company, in order to recruit talents for a company with a very shallow network of contacts.
He is considered a veteran figure in Liu Qingshan's career, and it is reasonable to have two salaries.
Even the other members of the Chessboard band all have their own positions in the company. This is to prepare for future management, and similar grassroots work experience is indispensable.
At this time, Grace came forward and said, "My dad called us. The clothing industry department at the company's headquarters has been officially listed, and we are just waiting for the products here to be produced. Xishan and I signed a contract with the local manufacturer this afternoon. After receiving the cooperation intention, it’s time to come up with your design drawings, right?”
This is something Liu Qingshan has agreed to long ago, but he has been busy with post-editing recently and has not yet made time to draw more.
Hearing this question, he felt dizzy: "It may take another two days. The post-editing will be completed soon, so there is no delay!"
Grace nodded: "Did you get satisfactory results today?"
Liu Qingshan then remembered, hurriedly replied with a few words, and sent someone to find Tsering Rasuo.
After Tsering Rasuo arrived, he took the so-called scripture he handed over and read it for a long time. Suddenly he shouted in surprise: "Mr. Liu, this is not a mantra, but something we herders have sung since we were young. The big slang dialect is a commonly used expression in folk songs for our nation's ancient language communication, but now only herders who still have nomadic heritage can sing it."
"Since it is pure Tibetan, why can't our translators translate them?"
"Slang and earthy tunes have some expressions of the literal meanings of ancient languages, but most of them cannot be formed into words, so these symbolic words replace types. Only nomads like us can understand it! And because today's pure nomadic shepherds There are fewer and fewer people, and even fewer people are literate, so it’s normal for ordinary translators not to recognize it!”
"Since the meanings of many words cannot be translated into written words, how do you identify them?"
"Because we nomadic herdsmen often meet some lamas in the mountains. In their religion, there is a kind of mantra that can be displayed in symbolic words. This mantra has many similarities with the informal and more colloquial sentences of the nomadic people. So I can understand the meaning of some of the characters in it. In fact, I don’t recognize many of these characters, but I can sing them in the form of a ballad!”
Liu Qingshan was greatly disappointed: "Professor Jia thought these words were tantric incantations. Maybe they were a kind of magic practiced by Tibetan monks, which could be used to communicate with Senge!"
Unexpectedly, Tsering Rasuo laughed and said: "Professor Jia's point of view is not necessarily wrong, because many of the magic spells you mentioned are handed down in the form of songs, and many of the songs we herdsmen have learned are What those masters taught us!”
Liu Qingshan's tone was very urgent: "Then can you translate them? I guess even though some of the spells have no literal meaning, it should be no problem for me to learn this song, right?" What he said came from Another part of him speculated that those lamas would never teach their practicing magic to the passing herdsmen for no reason. There must be a hidden meaning of promoting or teaching.
Or it can be understood that they are likely to use this method to find talents suitable for practice. Otherwise, why would they compile the practice spells into a song pattern?
Of course, this is just an idea of his, and he would never think that such a coincidence of slang songs is the secret of magic similar to the practice of mental power.
Because he himself is engaged in music work, even if he gets the same disappointing results, mastering another kind of folk song interpretation will at least let him understand one more folk song interpretation style.
The key is that the short melody that Tsering Raso hummed just now is actually very nice. If you add one or two lines from it to a popular song, it will create a different artistic conception.
For example, in Zheng Jun's song "Back to Lhasa", some of the original sounds in it have a strong sense of substitution. That section is a combination of inherited melodies from Tibetan folk songs.
On a small scale, the addition of this kind of folk song is a kind of uniqueness, but on a larger scale, it is a high-level artistic appeal.
It is with this mentality that Liu Qingshan has always been very interested in learning songs. Moreover, Tsering Raso does not completely understand the meaning of the lyrics, but some parts can only be expressed in spoken language and cannot be written. Just words.
Especially the singing-like part of the ballad, which has no specific lyrics and is entirely the pronunciation of Tantric mantras, Liu Qingshan became particularly interested in this part.
There were not just one or two songs copied in that scripture, but dozens of them.
Liu Qingshan has the ability of photographic memory, so he often only needs Tsering Lasso to demonstrate once before he can basically learn it.
When he was less than halfway through learning, he subconsciously connected the chanting parts of these songs and hummed them. What shocked him was that Senger's conscious expression came to his mind immediately.
However, there is no complete expression of meaning in these consciousnesses, just occasional questions.
For example, the literal expression of the consciousness of "master", as well as extremely simple fragments of meaning such as "What do you want to say" and "I'm hungry" are conveyed.
But this little clear consciousness already made Liu Qingshan feel ecstatic.
He hurriedly ordered people to prepare food for Senger, and then he became more motivated to study.
Then they did this in the yard around the stove. Fresh beef and mutton were roasting on the barbecue rack. Tsering Raso belonged to a nation that was good at singing and dancing. In this way, he allowed him to transfer the scriptures. The songs in it are sung in line with the usual expressions of this nation.
Although there is no bonfire, the atmosphere is very similar. The key point is that those Tibetan folk songs are really nice. Even if you don’t understand the lyrics, the melody makes you feel like you are in the vast nature, which broadens your mind and purifies your soul. .
"Song must be danced" and "Dance must be song" is their unique folk song and dance art form. Once the atmosphere is up, Tsering Raso will stand up and sing and dance.
What is surprising is that when Senger was waving his sleeves and singing and dancing, he suddenly stopped chewing and began to stare intently at Tsering Laso, his eyes under the moonlight and lamp shadow, and occasionally, Blooming with unnoticed brilliance. This day even escaped Liu Qingshan, who was still concentrating on learning songs, Jin Xishan and Grace, who had already gone to learn dancing from Tsering Lasso, and Fan Shengyang and Che Geng who were busy at the oven.
Liu Qingshan noticed this incident at Jiang Yuze's prompt. Pajay was also the one who noticed Senger's abnormal behavior.
Liu Qingshan quickly used the spell he had just learned recently to try to connect with Senger through telepathy. Unfortunately, all he got was an inexplicable excitement caused by the familiar song melody.
And it seemed that it couldn't figure out where this excitement came from, so there was a brief brain shutdown.
An idea flashed in Liu Qingshan's mind, he stood up and pulled Senger to join the dance.
Senger's mental state became obviously joyful, and he even gave up his usual habit of keeping strangers away. Like the other three puppies, he crawled under the feet of several people, and from time to time he was as excited as a child.
Even Susie, who was less than three years old, noticed something unusual: "Master, Master, Senger seems to be a different dog, and he is so happy that he seems to be having fun."
Seeing that Senger seemed to be integrated with the people, he continued to return to his seat and continued to pay attention to the song learning.
In fact, during this process, he had vaguely realized that he had occasionally communicated with Senger's thoughts before, but it was just a blind cat encountering a dead mouse. In fact, he did not know which syllables' telekinesis played a role. , because the characters he remembered needed to be sung along with the melody before he could recite them.
In fact, the arrangement of these syllables memorized by rote is obviously in some inexplicable orderly arrangement. He only knows the sound of the syllables but does not understand the meaning of the blind humming, which is obviously not in a state of true understanding.
However, he has determined that the syllables hidden behind the melody are combined into spells similar to tantric incantations, or scriptures.
It's just that before I learn all the songs, I can't find out the order of arrangement.
What everyone did not expect was that the 40-year-old Tsering Raso knew so many songs in his mind. He had been singing for more than an hour since the first song started, and he had not repeated it yet.
Of course, these songs were all sung according to the order in that scripture. Tsering Lasso, who was explaining while singing, told Liu Qingshan an unexpected message.
He said that all the songs he sings so far come from the Qiangtang grassland, where the Qiang people are the majority, but speak a variety of languages.
There are 12 living languages that he knows alone, but a lost language appeared in the ballad he sang tonight, which is Xixia.
Therefore, based on the scripture Liu Qingshan brought, he seriously suspected that there were many such ancient sayings hidden in it. Moreover, based on his decades of experience in Tibet, there was not much actual connection between the ancient Xixia language and the Qiang people. Why does it appear in the songs that almost nomads sing in the Qiangtang Grassland? There must be something weird in it.
It is a pity that Tsering Rathore does not know this ancient saying. Otherwise, if we arrange it separately, we might make unexpected discoveries.
The problem was that there were many words he didn't recognize in this scripture, most of which were local slang. It would probably take several years to find out the ancient Xixia language from more unfamiliar fonts, during which he would have to read it in person. Go to various tribes in Qiangtang Grassland.
