But it was said that Liang Yan had a quiet time in the attic, and no one disturbed him. However, every morning, disciples from Yuzhu Mountain would bring glazed soup and green bamboo incense for him to burn incense and bathe on time.
There are only female disciples on Yuzhu Mountain, so there is no men's clothing to be found. They can only use long gowns woven from green willows, which look a bit weird.
This is helpless, because Yuzhu Mountain has regulations that require you to wear sect clothes before entering the holy land.
The female disciples were also very curious about him, and they talked among themselves privately. They all competed for the spot to deliver fragrant soup, just to get a close look at this strange man who defeated the demons by himself.
There are quite a few anecdotes that have come out.
Liang Yan ignored all this, and the three days passed by in a flash.
Early that morning, after bathing and changing clothes, and burning incense, I could only hear the long bells ringing on the top of Yuzhu Mountain, and six rays of rays of light falling from the sky. Outside the attic, I saw Hongyun, Chu Hua, Yu Xiaolong and other elders of Yuzhu Mountain.
"Palace Master Liang, you are polite!"
Hongyun has a bold personality. He bowed and said straight to the point: "I am here to be ordered by my uncle to lead Palace Master Liang to the sect's holy land."
"good!"
Liang Yan had been waiting for this moment for a long time. At this moment, he came out of the attic and glanced at the crowd, but did not see Nan Youyue.
"That's fine. I've made the matter clear. I'm going to stop thinking about her first, and I won't have any contact with her in the future, so as not to mislead others or myself." Liang Yan felt a little lucky in his heart, and after thinking about it for a moment, he smiled at Hongyun.
road:
"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, please lead the way."
"Walk!"
Hongyun found Liang Yan extremely pleasing to the eye and knew that his whole mind was on the "Xuanyin of Heaven and Earth", so he stopped being verbose and turned into a ray of light to lead the way.
Everyone rushed into the back mountain of Yuzhu Mountain very quickly.
When we arrived here, the restrictions were so dense and the formations were so weird that even Liang Yan did not dare to act rashly. Together with Hong Yun and others, he pressed down the escape light and landed on the path of the valley.
After walking like this for a while, I suddenly saw a bamboo forest filled with white mist and someone sitting cross-legged outside the forest.
This person is none other than Baili Xuanyin.
As if aware of the arrival of everyone, she slowly opened her eyes and woke up from her trance.
"Palace Master Liang, let me say it one last time. Opening the Holy Land requires a lot of resources. Regardless of success or failure, we will only provide you with this opportunity. Please be careful, Palace Master Liang." Baili Xuanyin said solemnly.
After hearing this, Liang Yan smiled slightly and said, "Liang understands. I ask fellow Taoist to open the Holy Land. No matter what the result is, Liang will bear it himself."
"good!"
Baili Xuanyin didn't say much, took out a token from his sleeve and threw it into the air.
As the token flew out, the formation around the bamboo forest was activated, countless rays of light gathered from all directions, and abundant spiritual energy poured into the bamboo forest, making the bamboo forest look even more mysterious and unpredictable.
"It actually requires such a huge amount of spiritual energy!"
When Liang Yan saw this scene, he was also secretly surprised and thought: "Baili Xuanyin really didn't lie to me. Every time he activates the Holy Land, it seems that he really consumes a quarter of Yuzhu Mountain's spiritual energy resources."
Just as he was thinking about it, the spiritual energy from Yuzhu Mountain was already pouring into the bamboo forest like the Yangtze River.
There was a breeze in the bamboo forest, and then the space fluctuated, and a simple copper bell actually appeared outside the forest.
Baili Xuanyin stepped forward, and at some point a bamboo stick appeared in his hand. He struck the bronze bell nine times and then said, "Baili Xuanyin, the 21st disciple of Yuzhu Mountain, please."
Bamboo Phoenix opened the holy land and led Elder Liang in!"
The sound was clear and resounded in all directions.
After a while, I suddenly heard a clear sound coming from the bamboo forest. It felt indescribably comfortable, like a breeze blowing through everyone's hearts.
Then the white mist in the forest dissipated a little, revealing a passage that was three feet wide and could only be passed by one person.
Baili Xuanyin pointed at this passage and said in a deep voice: "This road leads to the 'Phantom Sound Qin Sea'. When Palace Master Liang entered it, he could see that a green bamboo was different, and a drop of fingertip blood was dripped on the bamboo.
, you can enter the secret realm of Qinhai."
"Thank you fellow Taoist for your advice."
Liang Yan bowed his hands and bowed, then turned around and strode into the bamboo forest.
As soon as he entered, the world behind him faded away, and Baili Xuanyin and the girls of Yuzhu Mountain could no longer be seen. It was as if he had entered another space, surrounded by green bamboos, filled with white mist, and surrounded by a faint fragrance.
“What a bamboo forest!”
Liang Yan smiled slightly and walked along the road in the white mist. He didn't know how long he walked, and finally came to an open space in the forest.
This open space is ten feet in diameter, with a green bamboo in the middle. The bamboo body is crystal clear, as if it were carved from jade. The ripples can be faintly seen through the surface, which seems to contain the secrets of the great road.
"It seems that this is the bamboo she was talking about."
Liang Yan walked to the bamboo, looked at it carefully for a moment, then stretched out his right hand, forced out a drop of blood from his fingertips, and dropped it on the bamboo in front of him.
Yuzhu trembled slightly, and colorful ripples appeared inside, which merged with the essence and blood, seeming to recognize Liang Yan's identity.
Immediately afterwards, Zhuuchi let out a clear sound, like the sound of nature, moving the Yangtze River, and countless mysterious and mysterious sounds sounded all around!
Because it was too sudden, Liang Yan was startled. He felt that his mind was full of various mysterious sounds, and his soul could not condense for a while. It seemed that there was a tendency to be assimilated by these mysterious sounds.
"not good!"
Liang Yan hurriedly ran the exercises, closed his eyes tightly, hugged Yuan Shouyi, and got rid of all distracting thoughts. Only then did the soul of Yuan Shen gradually settle down.
After a while, he opened his eyes again, only to find that he was no longer in the bamboo forest.
Surrounded by a vast sea, he was standing on a dry stone floating on the sea. It was only three feet square and could only be used by one person to sit cross-legged.
“It seems that this is the holy land of Yuzhu Mountain, ‘Phantom Sound Qinhai’”
Liang Yan looked around and muttered to himself: "The surroundings are not real sea water, but countless changes in music, which finally converge into a vast ocean. Presumably the mystery of the 'Xuanyin of Heaven and Earth' is hidden in this ocean. How much can be comprehended?"
, it all depends on one’s qualifications and understanding.”
Thinking of this, Liang Yan did not hesitate and immediately sat cross-legged on the dry stone and began to comprehend the mystery.
He is not ignorant of the art of music. During the apprenticeship assessment in Wushuang City, he obtained the "Qingxin Sandai Dancing Immortal" from Hu Shisan, which is the secret of Baili Xuanyin's lineage.
I have studied the exercises frequently over the years and have learned a lot.
There is also "Thirteen Swords of Daya", which is a swordsmanship he created by integrating the art of music with the way of swordsmanship. However, the swordsmanship at that time was not as good as it is now, and the art of music was even shallower, so the power of this set of swordsmanship was limited.
It has basically not been used since the Transformation Tribulation Realm.
After all, he had some foundation. Liang Yan sat quietly on the dry stone and soon immersed himself in the ocean of music.
The sound of the surrounding sea is clearly a variety of mysterious sounds. Although there are thousands of different changes, they are harmonious with each other, harmonious and flawless, fully displaying the mystery of the great road of heaven and earth.
"It is true that the mysterious sounds are infinite, and the evolution of heaven and earth is all contained in it!"
Liang Yan let out a heartfelt admiration.
He felt that his body was light and airy, his body was pure and dispersed in the sky and earth, and only his soul was swimming freely.
Gradually, I no longer feel the existence of my physical body.
"Humans are also sounds, just another form."
Suddenly, he had an enlightenment in his heart. He walked quietly through the door and saw a wisp of waves coming. He stretched out his hand to grab it, but it was the hand of Yuan Shen's soul that caught the wave in his palm.
Looking down, the waves are flowing in the palm of my hand, the five tones are harmonious, and the mystery is endless.
"This is the first law!"
Liang Yan's heart was filled with joy, and his spirit composed a song.
The majestic sound fills the heaven and earth, and the wonder of the great road contained in it is the first of the eighteen rhythms of the mysterious music of heaven and earth: "The river and the sea are broad"!
“Jiuzhou’s rivers and seas are vast, and thousands of miles connect the sky and the earth!”
This is an artistic conception, and there are no fixed syllables. The listeners play the music according to their own perceptions. They reach the same goal through different paths, but the form is slightly different.
Liang Yan played "The River and the Sea are Vast", and the surrounding tides rose and fell, seeming to be in response to what he had demonstrated.
Realizing the first law is like seeing a new world, and the second law will follow.
Liang Yan sat motionless on the dry stone. In the blink of an eye, more than half a year passed.
In the secret realm of Qinhai, there are also sunrises and sunsets, stars in the sky, and everything starts and starts again and again, and everything evolves automatically based on music.
Early that morning, Liang Yan woke up from his trance, looked around, and sighed softly.
"It is worthy of being a saint's secret knowledge! The 'Xuanyin of Heaven and Earth' is profound and profound. Although I think my understanding is not low, after all, my knowledge of the art of music is shallow, and I still don't understand the true meaning."
It turned out that Liang Yan had spent a lot of effort and realized the seventh law "Heaven and Earth are unified" in a hundred days.
But starting from the eighth verse, I felt that it was difficult. I couldn't understand many parts and it was difficult to understand the true meaning.
It's not that Liang Yan doesn't understand enough, it's just that he's learned too little about the art of music. Sometimes he can't understand a key point, and then the whole thing can't be understood, but there's nothing he can do about it.
But there was no disappointment in Liang Yan's eyes.
In fact, before entering this place, he had anticipated what might happen now. The "Xuanyin of Heaven and Earth" has a total of eighteen laws, which is the unique skill of the founder of the Yuzhu Mountain sect. No matter how crazy he is, he cannot confidently understand them all.
So he had already been mentally prepared, and entered the "Phantom Sound Sea" with the idea that he could understand a little more.
Although he has only understood the first seven laws, Liang Yan is not disappointed, because this is not much different from his expectations. Now he will see if he can integrate these seven laws, understand a trace of the law of music, and then integrate it into the way of swordsmanship to pave the way for future breakthroughs in swordsmanship.
Prepare your mind.
Thinking like this, Liang Yan began to recall the first to seventh verses. Just as he was meditating hard, a breeze suddenly rose from the sea, and then there was a faint piano sound, echoing between heaven and earth.
"Huh? This is."
Liang Yan's pupils shrank suddenly.
He meditated on the Eighth Rhythm for a hundred days, meditating hard, but how could he not hear the changes in this music? This is the subtlety of the Eighth Rhythm!
He raised his head in astonishment and looked intently, only to see another dry stone appearing on the sea surface at some point, about a hundred feet away from him.
There is a woman sitting on the dry stone, wearing a green dress and a white skirt. She is quiet and elegant, like a green lotus floating on the river and sea.
"Nan Youyue?"
Liang Yan's eyes showed a look of surprise.
He originally thought that this woman was avoiding him and had severed his relationship, but he never expected that he would see this woman again in this "Phantom Sound Sea"!
Nan Youyue is sitting on the dry stone, with the Demon Immortal Qin placed across her knees, her jade fingers flicking the music, and the music is lingering.
"Don't be distracted, Palace Master Liang. This is the eighth verse, 'Crossing the River in the Wind and Snow'. The subtlety of it is all in the sound of the piano."
Nan Youyue's voice came slowly and directly entered Liang Yan's soul. Along with the sound of the piano, it was soft and soothing, with a hint of desolation.
“It’s really ‘crossing the river in the snow’!
Liang Yan suddenly came back to his senses. He knew that Nan Youyue was here specifically to help him, so he did not dare to neglect him. He immediately gathered his mind, eliminated distracting thoughts, and followed the curling music of the piano and entered the sea of music again.
After re-comprehending the Eighth Rhythm, with the guidance of Nan Youyue’s music, many things that I had not understood before suddenly became clear at this moment!
The so-called "crossing the river" also means "crossing the tribulation". It borrows the sound of heaven and earth, the mystery of nature, turns into wind and snow, rides on the wind and snow, and floats across the river. This is the true meaning of the song!
“So that’s how it is”
Liang Yan was immersed in it and muttered to himself.
He seemed to understand something, and he randomly took out a bamboo flute from his storage ring, put it to his mouth and played it gently.
The sound of the flute sounded, but the rhythm was completely different from that of Nan Youyue's piano.
The music of Nan Youyue's piano is bleak, with a bit of loneliness, and the vastness of walking alone on the road; but the sound of Liang Yan's flute is a bit high-spirited, taking advantage of the wind and snow of heaven and earth, making a small boat for himself, rafting in the snow, and composing songs.
OK!
These two kinds of mysterious sounds are actually the eighth rhythm. They just have different personalities, different understandings, and different final movements, but the essence is the same.
In the vast sea, on two dry rocks, the sound of the piano is lingering and the sound of the flute is whistling.
A strange thing happened. Although the two people had different understandings, the music of the piano and the flute were mixed together. There was no disharmony at all. Instead, they echoed each other and were natural!
"how so?"
Nan Youyue's heart fluctuated, and the music of the piano was slightly chaotic, but there was also a change in the sound of the flute, which seemed to be correcting her mistakes.
With a chill in her heart, Nan Youyue quickly gathered her thoughts and concentrated on playing the Immortal Piano.
The sound of the piano returned to its original state, and so did the sound of the flute. The two of them played together on the sea, and they felt an indescribable tacit understanding. There was no need to communicate at all, and they didn't even need to exchange eyes. Just listening to the sound of the piano and flute, they could know what the other person was thinking.
Nan Youyue had never felt like this before, as if the two of them were completely separate and honest with each other, and she could understand all the other's thoughts and feelings in an instant.
"It turns out he is such a person"
Nan Youyue seemed to understand Liang Yan, and the confusion in her eyes gradually disappeared. When she looked up, she saw that Liang Yan was also looking at her. The two of them looked at each other. They were both relieved at this moment and laughed at the same time.
The breeze is blowing, and the sea of Qin is ripples. Before the ensemble is finished, the eighth rhythm has been exhausted, but the ninth rhythm comes with the wind.
The two of them have been playing so far, and they are not tired at all, but in high spirits.
The Ninth Rhythm also has no lag. When performed on the two instruments, it naturally becomes the mysterious sound of heaven and earth, without any conflict, and the harmony is perfect.
The sound of the piano and the flute reflect each other, and the song never gets old, as if it reaches the ends of the world. The mysterious sounds of heaven and earth also start from the eighth rhythm, and continue to evolve: the ninth rhythm, the tenth rhythm, and the seventeenth rhythm!
