This night was a thrilling night for the three Feng Ruyu girls.
The three girls returned to the house early and sat up and down, waiting for the moment of breakthrough to come.
Mo Wuxin imitated his disciple's example, placed the lounge chair under the eaves, lifted up the animal blanket and wrapped himself up.
Lying under the starlight in the sky, he murmured to himself: "Disciple, do you think I can break through another realm as a master?"
…
"Brother, do you think Jui'er can break through another level?"
Li Xiuyuan, who was under the eaves, opened his eyes when he heard this, looked at the girl in front of him and smiled lightly: "Jue'er, what are you doing for? Do you want to practice?"
He would not rashly change the fate of the girl who suddenly appeared in front of him before he figured out the girl's life experience.
The law of heaven is right, and he must follow the rules of this world.
Jue'er thought for a while and replied: "It means that when you grow up, you won't be bullied by others and can be an official of the Tang Dynasty like your father."
The girl's precepts and deeds came from her father, so naturally she wanted to get ahead and achieve something in her career.
Don't you know that Li Xiuyuan felt very uncomfortable when hearing her unintentional words?
It's not because he is narrow-minded and unwilling to teach girls more skills.
But from his personal experience as a boy, he understood that if a monk thinks about the glory and wealth in the world, his final destiny will inevitably be related to the royal family.
However, this is the thing he least wants to face.
Firstly, it was because of his own experience. From Da Qin to Da Zhou, and then to the Tang Dynasty, as long as he got involved with the officials of the dynasty, there would be countless troubles.
If the girl is a legendary person who will appear in the Tang Dynasty in the future, wouldn't it be because of his random operations that the entire process of history was disrupted?
He had to ask his master, the old Taoist priest, about this matter first.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan glanced at the old man Hong Yuanhai in front of him and sighed softly.
He sat up and walked to the table to sit down.
Listening to the tinkling sounds of the craftsmen in the room, I replied to the girl: "Practice is like sailing against the current. It doesn't mean you can break through several realms overnight."
He needs to let the girl understand this truth first.
As for his practice, he could take it easy for a while. He had nothing to do now, so he could learn how to play the piano first.
While they were talking, a girl of about eighteen years old walked towards the three of them from the mountains.
Jue'er glanced at it and couldn't help shouting: "Sister Hua, I'm here."
Hearing this, the old man looked at Li Xiuyuan and smiled: "That's it, my disciple has someone to wait on him."
A girl in a yellow dress came over and took Duo'er's hand to meet the old man and Li Xiuyuan. Li Xiuyuan asked Duo'er to take her to see his room.
Even so, neither he nor the old man knew how to take care of others, so the problem was finally solved.
The old man looked at him and frowned and asked, "What are you afraid of?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "If this doesn't happen next time, we can't just mess with the cause and effect of the Tang Dynasty again. I have to ask Master about this."
When the old man heard this, he suddenly understood and stopped worrying about it.
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and smiled: "Before the master replies, I will teach her how to practice the sword and play the piano first, but it won't have much impact."
Who said that practicing cultivation is all about thinking about breaking through the realm?
In Li Xiuyuan's view, Ximen Xiaoyu from Ding'an City first entered the Qin Dao and then started practicing.
The old man smiled lightly and said: "You can handle this matter, which saves me a lot of worry."
But Li Xiuyuan was thinking that his husband's book collection was not very detailed after all. At least he didn't know which of the Tang Dynasty the girl in front of him and her father belonged to?
I didn't expect that I would have to trouble my master again for this trivial matter.
In the long afternoon, Li Xiuyuan made a pot of tea and placed the guqin he bought in Tianyu City on his piano stand.
He said seriously to Juier: "The fingering methods of Guqin are: wiping, picking, hooking, ticking, breaking, holding, beating, picking. These fingerings can be tight, slow, more, less, etc. There are many different combinations. ."
"These calligraphy together constitute other fingerings, such as calendar, stacked juan, wheel, roll, brush, lock, etc."
Looking at Duo'er's frowning brows, he continued: "After you start practicing Qin Dao, if you think about it more and practice diligently, you will understand the principles and finally understand the lightness, weight, speed, and slowness inherent in it."
After saying that, he took out a yellowed piano score, but it was the book "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix" that he copied in Fengyun City.
This was the proud work of Master Li Hongxiu. Now, he took it out and placed it in front of Jui'er.
Li Xiuyuan explained the truth several times, and Jue'er held a wolf hair and copied the truth one by one the teacher said into the book she brought.
Li Xiuyuan was very satisfied when he saw it.
With such a scheming mind, coupled with diligent study and practice, it is not a very troublesome thing to be able to play the piano.
Feeling so happy, she couldn't help but press the music notes and gently pluck the strings.
With a tinkling sound, the sound of the piano echoed in the small courtyard. The sound was warm and peaceful, instantly giving people an ethereal and clear feeling.
Jue'er was attracted by the ding-dong sound and looked at her brother quietly in front of her. Just a simple note touched her heartstrings.
After just listening for a while, the girl quietly closed her eyes.
At this moment, the girl's notes on the piano score suddenly came to life, beating gently, like an elf in the mountains, dancing in front of her.
Before sitting on the piano table, the girl relaxed her mind.
It seemed as if I could see countless birds flying towards the yard from the mountains, and the brother in front of me seemed to have turned into a majestic divine bird, the phoenix.
The towering ancient trees are filled with birds that beat like musical notes. The beating notes and the birds on the trees converge into different patterns.
Changing and chirping again and again in front of her.
The sound of the piano remained the same, and the girl entered a state of selflessness. The notes in front of her continued to seep into her mind. In front of her, she had forgotten her father who was about to go to the imperial city and her mother at home.
Not only the girl in front of him, but also the old man in the room watching the craftsmen working could not help but shake their heads gently.
Xindao was afraid that only Li Xiuyuan would have the energy to spend time teaching a strange girl.
Although a group of craftsmen did not know the music, they also heard the birds singing outside the house.
They all praised him: "Young master is really a god. He can attract the birds in the mountains just by playing a song."
The old man didn't reply, but asked: "Look, how many days will it take to complete these two houses? Finish it early and get the money early."
When the craftsmen heard this, they discussed it and replied: "Move quickly and the work can be completed in three days."
Listening to the chirping of birds outside the house, the old man smiled and said: "It will only take three days. It's over. We will continue to repair it next spring."
Unknowingly, the maid who had just arrived in the mountains was already dreaming in the house.
The girl in front of Li Xiuyuan still had her eyes closed. Her mind was immersed in the artistic conception of the piano music, and a look of joy appeared on her face.
Li Xiuyuan was a little shocked. He knew the artistic conception of his Qin Dao, but he never thought that Jui'er, who heard the Qin for the first time, could fall into his own artistic conception.
This is the rarest place.
People say that playing the piano to a cow is because the person in front of you is not familiar with music and the two of you cannot find resonance.
But he didn't expect that Jui'er in front of him could understand his artistic conception.
After a long time, until Li Xiuyuan stopped his hands and paused for a while, Jue'er's eyes slowly opened.
He looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Brother, what kind of song is this?"
Li Xiuyuan replied: ""Hundred Birds Facing the Wind" is also the piano music my teacher's wife taught me back then."
Jue'er held her little hand and said seriously: "It's amazing. I want to learn this music like my brother."
The girl at the moment didn't know what Qin Dao was. He just saw a magnificent phoenix from the sound of Li Xiuyuan's piano. And the birds that fly from heaven to earth.
Thinking of this, the girl raised her head and pointed at the chirping birds on the ancient tree and said, "Look, those birds are still reluctant to fly away."
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, then got up and went to the kitchen to bring a bowl of corn.
He raised his head and shouted to the birds on the tree: "Come down."
After that, he scattered the corn in the bowl along the bluestone slab under the eaves until the birds flew down from the tree with flapping wings to grab the corn.
Jue'er held back her screams again, covering her mouth and not daring to shout.
The birds in the mountains are naturally afraid of people. Even if there is corn around, they will not dare to grab food, but these guys are not afraid at all.
In the end, two little birds flew onto the table and went to the remaining corn in the bowl.
The scene before her eyes finally aroused the girl's curiosity.
Quietly, after drinking a cup of hot tea while holding the cup in front of him, watching the birds chirping and flapping their wings and flying away, Jue'er exclaimed.
"Brother, why aren't these birds afraid of you?"
After thinking for a while, he said, "They don't seem to be afraid of Jue'er either."
"That's because you don't have murderous intent in you."
Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly and said: "If you sit here with anger, they will not dare to fly in front of you. Everything in the world has spirit..."
Instead of teaching Duo'er how to play the guqin, Li Xiuyuan told her about the principles between heaven and earth and all things.
It is rare to meet a girl who can fall into the artistic conception of the music the first time she hears it.
He wanted to teach her some more truths.
Teach some principles that the teachers in the Tang Academy would not teach, or that even the teachers in the school have never thought about.
Except for my wife back then.
It's just that there is only one Master. Throughout the ages, Madam's Confucianism and Taoism have influenced millions of people.
But the Master is only one.
At the moment, he didn't know whether the master had attained enlightenment before leaving Da Qin, or whether after leaving Da Qin, he was like the master who never left the monks.
Immediate sanctification.
Jue'er looked at him thoughtfully, thought for a moment and asked, "Brother, how do you know if there is murderous intent in me? And brother, how do you know if Jue'er is a good person or a bad person?"
The girl's words left Li Xiuyuan at a loss as to how to answer.
I had no choice but to explain it to her like a Buddhist, and said, "When you have a compassionate heart, naturally there will be no murderous intent in you?"
Jue'er shook her head and asked with a confused look on her face: "Brother, what is compassion?"
"What is compassion?" Li Xiuyuan sighed in his heart again.
The plum trees in front of him seemed to bloom in an instant, and pieces of snowflakes slowly fell from the sky.
He took a sip of the warm tea in front of him and replied: "When you saw a little bird, you didn't think about how to ask your father to find a way to catch it, find a birdcage to keep it in and take it home... …”
"When you see a tree in the mountains with flowers blooming, you just go up and smell their fragrance, instead of thinking about picking a few branches to take home and keep them in a vase for a few days..."
"When you see spring pass, you will miss it. Will next year come as promised as this year?"
“When you look at the fallen leaves all over the ground, thinking that autumn is coming to an end, and in a blink of an eye it’s time for snow to fall all over the sky again.”
Speaking of this, Li Xiuyuan inevitably felt a little lonely. This was when he was alone, and he unconsciously felt a sense of sadness for spring and autumn.
But he was inadvertently revealed by the girl in front of him.
Jue'er nodded thoughtfully and said, "I understand, just like Jue'er and her master just met a little rabbit in the mountains and just took a look at it."
The excitement calmed down a little, and the girl's face regained its composure.
Said: "Jue'er didn't let the master catch it, right?"
