Although the song sounded a little unclear, as if it was not sung by him in that shop, Chen Xuan was still so excited after hearing the song that he said "Yue'er" three times in his heart, and then sang "Yue'er" as fast as he could
Fly towards the shop where the singing is coming from.
This is a shop that sells all kinds of strange things, such as ice elephant tusks from the far north, colorful jade from the overseas wilderness country of Siyou, four-legged golden birds caught from Liubo Mountain in the East China Sea, etc.
wait.
These ingenious objects may sound very rare, but they can only deceive ordinary people and have basically no value to monks.
After Chen Xuan entered the store, he immediately looked towards the place where the singing was coming from, only to see a rather downcast young scholar with a strong writing style haggling fiercely with the store owner over a conch.
"... What I, the recording conch, have recorded is not the voice of an ordinary brothel singer, but a short piece of music circulated by the legendary No. 1 singer in Zhongzhou. It is worth thousands of gold. Listen to it, this timbre, this melody, it is simply
It’s more beautiful than the sounds of nature! You can buy it with just three copper coins?”
When the shop owner saw that the scholar wanted to buy his item so much, he naturally boasted about it and would not sell it cheaply.
When Chen Xuan heard the four characters "Leuyin Conch", he understood why Feng Yue's singing sounded unclear. It turned out to be recorded in "Leuyin Conch".
Chen Xuan had seen the so-called voice-recording conch when he was in Cliff City in the southwest. It is said to be produced on the coast of the East China Sea and can be used to record any sound. However, the timbre of the recorded sound depends on the quality of the voice-recording conch.
There will also be a difference in the length of time.
In Zhongzhou, recording conches were often used to record the songs and tunes of famous prostitutes and oirans in various brothels, and then presented them to those dignitaries, young men and young men who liked arty elegance.
The recording conches in this shop are obviously of the poorest quality. The recording of Feng Yue's singing voice was blurry and intermittent. Even so, Feng Yue's unique, clear, melodious, and ethereal voice still impressed the shop.
The customers and pedestrians passing by were fascinated by it, and it had an extremely attractive charm.
The down-and-out scholar heard the owner of the shop say that this conch with a record was worth more than three copper coins. He groped around on his body again, and finally found another copper coin. He immediately squeezed out a smile and said with a slight embarrassment: "Boss, look at this.
Is it enough?
Xiaosheng only has so many, but Xiaosheng really wants this conch with recordings. The song it stores can soothe his soul. Please sell it to Xiaosheng! When Xiaosheng is admitted to Jinshi, I will definitely come back and pay you ten
Times the price!”
Originally, the store owner was a little impatient and didn't want to talk too much to this down-and-out scholar.
Several customers around also wanted to buy a conch with a recording of Feng Yue's singing. However, when they heard the down-and-out scholar saying that he was planning to take the imperial examination, the store owner was reluctant to chase them away, and the few who wanted to buy a conch with a recording
Customers can only shut up temporarily.
"So, you are a judge?"
The shop owner looked at the poor scholar again in disbelief.
Logically speaking, civilians who can pass the Juren exam are different from ordinary people. Although the court will not pay salaries to Juren, the status of Juren in their own states and counties will certainly not be too bad.
A person like the down-and-out scholar in front of me who can only produce four copper coins can be said to be "rare and rare".
Seeing the meaning in the shop owner's eyes, the down-and-out scholar explained embarrassedly: "Su Yucheng, a young student, comes from Luoyi Prefecture County. Because he lives in a humble family, although he was admitted to the Juren Examination and received financial support from his fellow villagers, it was already exhausting to travel thousands of miles to the imperial city.
After all the trouble, I only have these four copper coins left. I hope the boss will show his love and sell this conch with a record to a young man."
Chen Xuan finally understood why this poor scholar named Su Yucheng wanted so much to buy the recording conch that recorded Feng Yue's singing. A poor scholar traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to take the exam. His whole body was exhausted and exhausted. If he was not determined, he would easily collapse physically and mentally.
.
Therefore, when Su Yucheng heard Feng Yue's singing, he regarded this singing as the spiritual pillar for him to persevere.
Feng Yue's singing indeed contains unique spiritual power and can inspire people. Even Chen Xuan, who is a monk in the transformation stage, was touched by it. It was just as effective for Su Yucheng, who is equivalent to a monk in the golden elixir stage.
Bigger.
However, thinking that Su Yucheng had already passed the exam and had a literary aura that could frighten ghosts in the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment stages, but still managed to get by so miserably, Chen Xuan could only think that this person was a nerd who didn't know how to adapt.
"Su Juren, I understand your desire to buy this record conch, but before someone offered me ten taels of silver to buy it, I didn't even sell it. If you buy it for four copper coins, then I will
What a big loss!”
The shop owner was completely unimpressed with Su Yucheng's promise to give him more money after passing the Jinshi exam. Just because Su Yucheng had such a miserable life as a civil servant, the shop owner didn't think that Su Yucheng would be able to pass the Jinshi exam.
When Su Yucheng heard what the shop owner said, he was immediately dejected, but he thought of another way: "Then may I ask the boss, who is the legendary number one singer in Zhongzhou?
Is she in Shen'an City?"
"You want to meet the number one singer in Zhongzhou?
To tell you the truth, it’s impossible! My voice-recording conch did not directly record the voice of the number one singer in Zhongzhou, but transcribed it using someone else’s voice-recording conch. According to that person, he also transcribed someone else’s voice without knowing it.
It has been transcribed hundreds of times. Who knows the name of the first person to record her singing? Where did she find the number one singer in Zhongzhou?
Anyway, don’t think about it.”
The store owner's answer made Chen Xuan's originally agitated mood calm down.
He had previously thought that this shop had recorded Fengyue's singing and then sold the voice-recording conches, but he did not expect that the voice-recording conches in this shop were transcribed, so no wonder the sound quality was so poor.
But since there are clues about Feng Yue, Chen Xuan will spare no effort to trace it. The owner of this store doesn't know where the legendary number one singer in Zhongzhou is, so he will ask the store owner who transcribed Feng Yue's message later.
singing, and then ask the previous transcriber until you find the first transcriber.
Just as the store owner turned off the sound of the conch recording, several strong men suddenly walked in aggressively from outside. These strong men were all dressed in the uniforms of servants of wealthy families, with the word "wind" engraved on their waistbands.
When the strong man came in, he shouted angrily and asked, "Did the singing just now come from here?"
Hearing the strong man's question, the down-and-out scholar subconsciously took the conch with the record on the counter into his arms.
Because he had a vague premonition that these strong men were coming for the sound conch.
