"Do you still remember Shi Xiu?" Jin Yao suddenly asked.
"Kuang Xiu?" Gao Jianli's body suddenly trembled, and he remembered a figure that he had forgotten for a long time.
"You are originally a musician, a musician with a famous name in Yanzhao, as famous as Shixiu, but you are a stranger."
"Back then, Shi Xiu was not called Shi Xiu, but Kuang Xiu. However, now Shi Xiu is respected as the best musician in the world. All musicians respectfully call him Shi Xiu and consider him to be the teacher of musicians."
"Not long ago, I met Shi Xiu in the Xianyang Palace. His piano skills are indeed unparalleled in the world. Even Nong Yu would call Shi Xiu "teacher" when he saw him."
"At that time, Kuang Xiu also personally taught me how to play the jade instrument, and then he talked to me about you!"
Jin Yao spoke slowly.
"What did he say about me?" Gao Jianli asked bitterly, guessing what Kuang Xiu would say about him.
It is nothing more than devaluing oneself and elevating his status.
"Do you think Master Xiu will elevate himself by belittling you?" Jin Yao glanced at Gao Jianli, then shook his head in disappointment.
"Isn't it?" Gao Jianli asked.
"You underestimate the master, you also underestimate the musician!" Jin Yao sighed.
"Master Xiu asked me if I could let the Mo family return you to the lineage of musicians!" Jin Yao said seriously.
"Master Xiu believes that you will be the successor of the musician lineage. In order for you to resume the musician's path, he is even willing to give out all the notes of his insights on the musician lineage in exchange."
"He even handed over the "Mu Li" that he had treasured for many years to the Daqin Academy!"
"He said that on the road of music, in the whole world, apart from him, you are the only one who can be his close friend. He also hopes that I can hand over "Mu Li" to you and let you return to the lineage of musicians!"
Listening to Jin Yao's words, Gao Jianli was completely stunned.
As a musician, he is even more aware of the rarity of a musical score. Although "Shui" is one of the 300 poems in "Poetry", it only has ballads, no tunes, and no musical score.
However, Shi Xiu saved the piano score for "Mu Li" and was willing to contribute it, but the purpose was just to awaken a person's heart as a musician.
This is like a song that only has lyrics but no music. Although the words are beautiful, if there is no music, it is ultimately a flaw.
Jin Yao sighed, Chinese poetry originated from "Poetry", but due to various reasons, not one of the three hundred "Poems" has left a music score. The major poems of later generations also lost their music scores, resulting in only poems.
It can be poetry, but it can no longer be called poetry.
Shi Xiu was able to re-compose the music for "Mu Li", which is so difficult that ordinary people cannot imagine it.
Just like among the poems of later generations, only Su Shi's "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" is truly widely circulated, because only one poem was set to a tune by later generations and recognized by the world.
It’s not that no one can compose tunes for other poems, it’s that the tunes cannot be recognized and are not worthy of the beauty of those poems!
Therefore, it is extremely difficult to perfectly integrate poetry and music.
But Kuang Xiu did it, and composed music for three hundred poems. This was something that many great Confucian scholars could not do.
Even Fu Nian, Yan Lu and others had to take the initiative to salute and call them "sir" and "teacher" when they saw their master!
"Master Xiu only has regrets and regrets for you, and does not look down upon you at all. Even after he passed away, he still wanted to let you return to the lineage of musicians." Jin Yao looked at Gao Jianli and said regretfully.
If it weren't for the fact that he promised Shixiu to help him awaken Gao Jianli's heart, Jin Yao wouldn't have talked so much nonsense with Gao Jianli.
"No one has ever said that you must give up your own preferences when practicing martial arts. A true genius always applies his own preferences to martial arts and complements each other!"
"Confucian Master Fu Nian is recognized as one of the top martial artists in the world, and is also recognized as a great Confucian. Did he give up Confucianism because of martial arts? The self-created Holy King Sword Technique is a fusion of Confucianism and Taoism with swordsmanship."
"Han Fei is also one of the rare masters in the world, but what the world knows more is that he is a master of Legalism. Has he ever given up his favorite law school because of martial arts?"
"So, I've always been confused, why do you think you have to give up your piano skills to practice martial arts?"
Jin Yao said while watching Gao Jianli's expression change.
However, not only Gao Jianli, but other Mohist disciples were also meditating. This kind of guidance was not only useful to Gao Jianli, but also to them.
They also began to think about themselves. When did they begin to feel that practicing martial arts meant giving up what they loved?
"If you still can't find your way, then I will show you a way. It is also the way that Mr. Shi Xiu saw for you before he died!" Jin Yao continued.
In fact, he has never understood why Shi Xiu, who has never met Gao Jianli before and even though they were world-famous musicians and luthiers and could be said to be competitors, always considers Gao Jianli and even sacrifices his hard work to compose it.
The piano music that came out.
Until he died, he put himself in Gao Jianli's shoes.
And Shixiu seemed to know that Gao Jianli had gone astray and could no longer recover. However, under such circumstances, Shixiu still insisted on finding a martial arts path for Gao Jianli that was unique to him as a musician.
"Listen carefully, this is the martial arts path unique to the musician lineage that Mr. Shi Xiu found before he died for you and the entire musician lineage!" Jin Yao slapped Gao Jianli, who had his head lowered, to
Lift it off and make him raise his head and listen carefully.
Gao Jianli's dull expression finally raised his head and looked at Jin Yao, listening to him carefully instead of being distracted and numb.
"Sword! Guts! Qin! Heart!" Jin Yao said word by word.
This is a martial art that belongs exclusively to musicians, and it is also the last gift left to musicians by master cultivators!
Just based on the state of mind of the master, Jin Yao had to admire him. This was a pioneer who could be called the ancestor of Taoism. For hundreds of schools, he was the founder of the same sect.
It is also the lineage of teachers, cultivators, and musicians who have the qualifications to open their own business!
It's a pity that Master Xiu passed away before he could establish a sect. If he had given Master Xiu another ten years, perhaps Gao Jianli would not have been needed, and Master Xiu himself could have turned his line of musicians into musicians!
Even until his death, Shi Xiu worked hard for the musician lineage, but Gao Jianli, who was also a talented musician, was a love-minded guy who was addicted to love.
"I have put "Mu Li" in the Mohist Scripture Pavilion. Before you wake up, I don't want you to touch it, and you are not qualified to see it!" Jin Yao left a sentence coldly and turned around.
He left with Concubine Yan, Xue Nu and others.
"Are Juzi's words a bit harsh?" Jing Ke followed Jin Yao and asked Gongsun Liji in a low voice.
