Fang Yun listened attentively to their explanation. Combined with the various zither books he had read before, he began to sort out the similarities and differences between the two worlds.
"From an appraisal point of view, both worlds pay attention to the structure, material, timbre, and age of the zither. The zither maker also needs to be considered. In Saint Origin World, the zither makers need to appraise the multiplicity of the zither. In addition, Saint Origin World's research on the material is more detailed. This is because the requirements for the material are higher. However, due to the emphasis on the material and multiplicity, there is less research on the age of the zither. In the other world, ancient Huaxia, because many people collect zithers, their research on the age of the zither is more profound than Saint Origin World. "
Fang Yun continued to sort out the information. He discovered that Saint Origin World had yet to perfect the "Broken Lines Theory". The so-called broken lines were the interplay of time, environment, and playing, leaving marks on the body of the zither. For example, broken snake belly, broken running water, broken fish scales, broken cow hair, and so on. This was the most important method used by the Song Dynasty zither masters to appraise the age of the zither.
However, Fang Yun discovered that some books in Saint Origin World mentioned "broken lines". However, they did not systematically sort out these broken lines. The "Broken Lines Theory" method still did not exist.
Not long after, Fang Yun discovered that in terms of zither skills, the current Saint Origin World was similar to ancient Huaxia. The zither dao emphasized the right hand technique and ignored the left hand technique. It emphasized the momentum, strength, and strength of character. However, the details of the technique were far inferior to the later generations.
If the momentum, strength, and strength of the zither dao of Saint Origin World were preserved, and combined with the more exquisite finger technique of the later generations, the zither dao of this world would definitely reach a higher level.
With the help of the Wondrous Book of Heaven and Earth, Fang Yun only used half an hour to sort out the flaws of the zither dao of Saint Origin World. The reason why they could not be called flaws was because they changed with time. Even if Fang Yun did not interfere, the zither dao would slowly be perfected.
"If I can fix all the flaws of the zither dao, it would be enough to increase the strength of the human race. In fact, it would not be inferior to a Half-saint! If someone can be recognized as the master of the Number One Killing Zither, it would be equivalent to having the strength of two Half-saints! In the future. Musical instruments, chess, painting, military art, agriculture, industry, commerce, and so on must be fixed as much as possible! "
"In terms of the Dao of the Zither, I can take my time with the fingering techniques and the appraisal of the zither. However, I need to write a few battle tunes as soon as possible. This is because the battle tunes of the High Scholar level are not powerful enough. Furthermore, battle tunes are not as popular as battle poems, and there are not many people who can use them. So even if I create it, it's not a big deal. "
Fang Yun was lost in thought when he suddenly felt Yang Yuhuan tugging at his sleeve. He looked up and found that everyone was looking at him. Everyone had a kind smile on their faces. Only a few old zither players sitting there looked unhappy.
Yang Yuhuan whispered, "They recognized you. Just now, a guqin player asked why you're here. "
Fang Yun guessed that the old zither players thought he was distracted and didn't listen carefully, so he cupped his hands and smiled. "After listening to Mr. Yu, Mr. Pan, and Mr. Du's words, I was like a spring breeze. I couldn't help but be immersed in the zither skills of the three masters. As a result, I couldn't extricate myself and didn't hear what you said. I hope you can forgive me."
The expressions of the few people who were unhappy eased. One of them nodded and said, "A few days ago, a scholar said you were arrogant. I scolded him because I saw you at the celebration banquet of the Dragon Boat Cultural Gathering. You are not an arrogant person. Since you said you were comprehending the Dao of the Zither, with your talent, there must be something different about you. Let's hear it. "
Fang Yun sighed in his heart. This old man really wasn't easy to deal with. If his zither skills were not good, the other party would not hesitate to criticize him. If he had a unique view, the other party would praise him and promote the zither as a model for scholars. This would be very beneficial for the Dao of the Zither.
Luckily, Fang Yun was really thinking about the Dao of the Zither, so he frowned slightly. He pretended to recall and said, "The zither just now did not go through three levels of Qi. It should have only been injected twice."
"Oh? Tell us about it. "
Everyone's eyes lit up. Fang Yun's Literary Name was too famous. Since he dared to say this, he must have some confidence. He might even be able to make the final decision because there were many people who had different opinions.
Fang Yun did not agree rashly. Instead, he said, "Can I take a closer look?"
"Come." An old man smiled and waved his hand.
Everyone made way for him. Fang Yun let go of Yang Yuhuan's hand and walked to the table in front. He carefully observed the zither on the table.
The zither was not more than a hundred years old and did not have any cracks. Not only could the cracks be used to deduce the environment of the zither, it could also be used to deduce the age of the zither.
Fang Yun found that the surface of the zither only had one type of "ice crack". As long as the zither was more than a hundred years old, it would have this type of crack. If it was more than two hundred years old, other parts would have "cow hair cracks", but this zither did not.
Comparing the contents of the "Zither Book", Fang Yun slowly said, "If my guess is correct, this zither should have been placed in a city near the sea for the past fifty years. But fifty years ago, it seemed to have been in a very dry desert area."
A zither master who was over fifty years old asked in surprise, "How do you know? I have never told anyone the origin of this zither! "
Everyone was even more curious. It was normal for a master to determine the age of the zither based on its inscription, material, and production techniques, but no one could say the environment of the past few decades.
Fang Yun received confirmation and his heart was set. He continued, "Gentlemen, you have already identified it. It was at least two injections of Qi, but whether it was three injections or not. The Qi of a human treasure dissipates after a hundred years. If there were three injections of Qi, this zither should be at least three hundred years old. But this zither was only made for two hundred years, so how could it have three injections of Qi? "
"What method did you use to determine the age of this zither?" an old man asked.
Fang Yun naturally couldn't immediately throw out a few hundred years of experience. This wasn't poetry. It required a lot of experience and practice to prove, so he said, "In the process of studying the zither, I found this method in a book left behind by a predecessor. However, there are still many parts of this method that haven't been perfected, so I am slowly studying it."
Many people nodded. The method to determine the age of a zither was very unusual. It would be difficult to complete without the effort of several generations. Moreover, it was very normal for there to be secrets that were not passed on.
"Then we will let Mister Sanjue make the final judgment." One person looked at the oldest man.
Fang Yun thought it was really him. It wouldn't be strange if he had Mo Nu. This old man had reached the third level in calligraphy, painting, and zither, which was extremely rare. Thus, people called him Xu Sanjue, Mister Sanjue, and he was also a great scholar. However, after he was injured more than ten years ago, his literary palace was damaged, and there was no news of him.
Xu Sanjue seemed to struggle to open his mouth and slowly said, "This zither was made by a zither master in Mo Quan. It was completed about two hundred and twenty years ago, and it was injected with the Qi of two High Scholars."
"Since Mister Sanjue says so. The dust has settled. This zither is a double-layered Wen Bao Zither. Next, we will invite Master Dai to teach us the 'hook' and related finger combinations of the right hand. "
Fang Yun thought this was only a place to trade Wen Bao Zithers. He only found out that it was a zither recital when he came in, so he stayed behind to learn. Yang Yuhuan was also learning the zither. It was rare for her to have this opportunity, so she listened more carefully than Fang Yun.
After listening for an hour, Fang Yun felt Nuonu tugging at his clothes with her little claws. He turned his head and saw that outside the recital, a neighbor who came to the Dragon Luring Pavilion with him was saying something to High Scholar Pang.
Fang Yun knew that Nuonu had heard something about him. He quickly walked out, and Yang Yuhuan followed closely.
"What's going on?" Fang Yun asked.
The neighbor immediately said, "Master Fang, you should go quickly. If you are late, Fang Daniu and Xiao Ying will be finished!"
Fang Yundao said, "Let's go! I'll tell you as we walk! "
"The dragon selector wants Xiao Ying to be a maid in the Dragon Palace, but Xiao Ying doesn't agree. Fang Daniu is protecting Xiao Ying. The selector won't leave, saying that they can't fight in the Dragon Luring Pavilion. But once they leave the pavilion, they will immediately capture Xiao Ying! These dragonians are too arrogant! The selection of a maid in the Dragon Palace has to be approved by the person in question, and then filed with the official. Even an idiot knows what they want to do! "
Fang Yun asked High Scholar Pang, "Those people have the blood of Dragons in their veins, so they can kidnap women?"
High Scholar Pang said, "Dragonians have the blood of Dragons in their veins, so they think they are better than others, so they are more domineering. However, the laws in the Dragon Palace are very strict, and they are very smart. So they use the pretense of selecting a maid in the Dragon Palace, so even if they fail, they won't be punished too severely. According to my guess, they only dared to kidnap Daniu and Xiao Ying because of their ordinary attire. "
Fang Yun remembered that even Yuanjun Feng said that Dragons were domineering, so he asked High Scholar Pang, "Does this happen often?"
"Not often. But there are a few times every year. Some get punished, and some hide in the Dragon Palace, so we can't do anything about it. "High Scholar Pang said.
"Let's go, I don't believe that Jade Sea City is ruled by the dragonians!"
High Scholar Pang reminded him softly, "You better be careful. These dragonians are not to be trifled with. They might be the descendants of some dragon or even a dragon. The Whale King is overseeing this place, and it is always paying attention to everything in the Dragon Palace. If you make a move, it will know in a few breaths. It will not give you any chance to injure the dragonians. "
Fang Yun did not say anything.
The few of them strode forward, and Yang Yuhuan had no choice but to jog along, her figure swaying like a willow branch, beautiful beyond compare.
Nunu stood solemnly on Fang Yun's shoulder.
Not long later, the neighbor pointed at a group of people and said, "Over there."
Fang Yun looked around as he walked. More than a hundred people were gathered there, and there were a few dragonians who were taller than normal people. Fang Daniu was using his body to protect Xiao Ying in a corner.
Fang Yun said loudly, "Daniu, don't be afraid. With me here, no one will be able to do anything to you."
A young dragonian dressed in luxurious robes turned his head and looked over. There was a small horn in the center of his forehead, and when he saw Fang Yun's scholar robes, he sneered, "A mere scholar dares to speak so arrogantly? What, do you want to fight here? Tsk, tsk, you brought another beautiful … uh … "
Suddenly, a giant appeared in front of the young dragonian. It was as tall as a two-story building, and it looked like an iron tower!
Everyone immediately guessed the identity of this giant, because only the legendary Whale King could be so tall after transforming. Everyone knew that the Whale King was overseeing the Dragon Palace, and they immediately retreated in panic. At the same time, they looked at Fang Yun's group with sympathetic eyes.
The young dragonian excitedly pointed at Fang Yun and said, "Haha, Lord Whale King, I knew you would be able to find out. This little scholar …"
The Whale King raised his hand and slapped the Draconic youth. The Draconic youth was sent flying and crashed into the wall.
The dragonians had strong physiques, but they were still heavily injured by this slap. They spat out blood and sat on the ground, looking at the Whale King with grievance, not knowing what had happened.
Nunu's mouth was wide open, and she kept blinking her eyes.
Fang Yun was stunned. He thought to himself, 'This isn't right. Logically speaking, the dragonians should have asked the Whale King to deal with me, but why is the Whale King helping me?'
