Half a sound of winter thunder comes from the wind.
Love, resentment, anger, ignorance and other idle things,
Those who listen to the rain with a pure heart will stay forever."
"Cold Night" is a guqin piece that is famous all over the world;
"Dong Lei" is the name of that peerless Guqin.
Tingyuxuan, located in Nanning City, is a qinxuan run by Xu Bai, the most famous qin player in the world.
Xu Bai has a total of seventy-two disciples, and he himself is over fifty years old.
Listening to the sound of the piano in the Yuxuan, the melody is constantly playing, and all the literati and scholars come here to admire it.
Some came to ask Xu Bai for piano lessons, and some came to see the winter thunder with their own eyes and listen to its sound.
Outside Tingyuxuan, a wooden sign was hung high, "Those who are not familiar with the language of the piano should not enter."
…
Chang Shisan wants to get Donglei, is this... possible?
Don't say anything else, just "not familiar with the language" means he is not qualified to enter!
Xu Bai was not only unparalleled in piano skills, he was also a virtuous master. He was a humorous and crazy master. He got along well with many disciples and never paid attention to worldly etiquette.
A wonderful mouth can awaken the dreamer. Xu Bai is not only good at the piano, but also good at removing the demons in people's hearts.
It is a habit for students to practice the piano.
Although Xu Bai has a weird temper, people are proud to be his disciple.
Donglei is extremely valuable, and few people are willing to spend two hundred thousand taels of silver to buy one.
Moreover, the winter thunder is only given to those who are destined, and the music of the piano is only given to those who are familiar with it.
Chang Shisan really needs some luck if he wants to invite Donglei's piano back.
Chang Shisan and Shaoan came to Tingyuxuan and saw the hanging sign.
Shaoan: "I don't know Qinyu, hey, how about we go like this?"
Chang Shisan: "They don't know if we understand Qin Na, let's go in first."
Tingyuxuan's pavilions, bridges, ponds, and rockeries of all sizes are dotted with exquisite gardens.
Waves of music came from the piano. Although it was not a neat ensemble, it was not as messy as noise. This was the sound of the disciples practicing the piano.
Many literati and scholars who came here because of the reputation walked in Tingyu Pavilion, behaved appropriately and elegantly.
Compared with the world outside, this is like a paradise.
There is a courtyard in the center, which is extremely elegant.
Xu Bai was sitting on the floor in the lobby, talking about piano techniques and mental skills with people from all over the country who loved the piano.
Xu Bai was never stingy and taught his knowledge to like-minded people without reservation. But so far, no one can play the piano to Xu Bai's level.
Skills and mental skills are one and the same. People without mental skills can only have empty skills.
Chang Shisan and Shaoan walked all the way to the lobby, found a corner place to lean on, and listened to Xu Bai's lecture.
A man with a scholarly appearance asked: "Sir, I have worked so hard to practice the piano, but I still can't become a good piano player. So is it necessary to persist?"
Xu Bai asked: "What does it mean for a young master to learn the piano?"
Scholar: "Being a luthier is a skill you can master."
Xu Bai sneered and said: "Just pursuing skills will never make a difference in your life. I advise you to stop early."
The scholar suddenly became disgraced, shook his sleeves fiercely, and walked away angrily.
Xu Bai called to his disciples: "Is this kind of person worthy of entering Tingyuxuan? Go and put up a sign saying that people with a bad temper are not allowed to enter!"
The disciple said: "Master, if you hang a sign like this outside Yuxuan, it's so ugly! I won't go!"
Xu Bai rolled his eyelids and said, "Huh, I'll do it myself."
The disciple quickly shouted: "Master hangs it up, and the disciple takes it off!"
Xu Bai: "Hey!"
Disciple: "Humph!"
A series of arguments between master and disciple made the whole hall hide their faces and laugh.
The way Xu Bai communicated with his disciples was really refreshing to Shaoan.
One person asked: "Behave properly, this is not what a scholar should do. Isn't it a complete lack of etiquette when Mr.'s disciples are joking with their master like this?"
The disciple retorted: "Etiquette is nothing but external skills. Respecting the teacher in your heart relies on inner skills. Is this Master?"
The disciple gave a small look, waiting for Xu Bai's affirmation.
Xu Bai looked disgusted: "What is it? Go hang a sign for me!"
Chang Shisan looked on, this scene seemed very familiar...
On Tianyun Mountain, Liu Mochao was expelled from his school. In order to change Xiao Dong's mood, Chang Shisan took Xiao Dong to the back mountain for hunting.
Chang Shisan: "Master, your archery skills are getting worse every year!"
Xiao Dong: "You brat, why are you talking to my teacher?"
Chang Shisan: "It turns out that the hare disciple just rushed to your side deliberately, got so close to you, and even let it run away!"
Xiao Dong: "Hey! It was clearly your horse that scared it!"
Chang Shisan: "Huh, you blame me for your poor archery skills!"
Xiao Dong: "Hey, I can't control you anymore. Respect the teacher. Where did you learn the word "respect the teacher"?
Chang Shisan smiled and said: "This disciple respects his master in his heart and not in his heart. Master, you can practice archery tomorrow so as not to hold this disciple back."
……very nice.
These days were unforgettable to Chang Shisan. Xiao Dong’s smile became a memory that Chang Shisan would never see again.
One person in the hall seemed to be Xu Bai's good friend: "Brother Xu has such a disciple, I really envy him."
Xu Bai's eyebrows curved: "Wouldn't it be more comfortable between master and disciple without all the fuss and fuss?"
Xu Bai's way of getting along with his apprentice is indeed somewhat similar to Xiao Dong's.
Chang Shisan straightened his body, clasped his fists and asked, "May I ask, sir, if you can't help yourself, how can you feel at ease?"
Xu Bai stood up and poured tea: "If you break it, break it. Cut off the shackles, so why can't you help yourself?"
Chang Shisan: “What if we can’t break it off?”
Xu Bai: "Is it because you don't want to break the relationship, or because you can't?"
Chang Shisan: “I don’t want to break it off, I can’t break it off, and I don’t dare to break it off.”
Xu Bai adjusted his sleeves: "I don't want to break it off, it's the result of the young master's own choice. Doing things according to your heart can't be said to be out of control."
Not wanting to break up is indeed a choice made according to your heart. You are willing to take on some things that are destined to happen. Although you are not living a life that you like, it is still in line with your own wishes.
Chang Shisan had a lot of thoughts: "Shaoan, let's go."
Shaoan: "Leave? We didn't do anything, just left like this?"
Chang Shisan: "Come tonight. I want to ask this gentleman for advice."
…
The wind is high and the night is dark, and the voices of people are gradually becoming thinner.
There was only one candle in Xu Bai's bedroom, and a person was photocopied on the window.
Chang Shisan jumped into Tingyuxuan and groped outside Xu Bai's bedroom.
The window was pulled outwards and a gust of wind blew into the bedroom, and the candlelight suddenly shook violently.
Xu Bai broke out in a cold sweat. After all, he was quite old. Chang Shisan's sudden visit in such an unusual way frightened the old man!
Xu Bai froze on the spot, not even thinking of dodging.
Chang Shisan bowed in and gently closed the window with his backhand.
Chang Shisan bent down and bowed his hands: "Sir, this junior is polite."
"gentlemen?"
"Mr. Xu?"
Chang Shisan completed a series of actions, but Xu Bai had not recovered yet.
