Fang Yun's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the nervous gatekeeper, he asked as he walked, "What's going on? What are they carrying? "
Walking out of the study, Fang Yun heard some familiar voices outside. Some of them were the old zither players who taught in the Dragon Pavilion that day.
"I don't know. I didn't look carefully, but there were a lot," the gatekeeper said.
Fang Yundao asked, "Could it be the zither?"
The gatekeeper was stunned for a moment, then whispered, "It seems to be the zither. There were too many people, and they seemed very excited. I was afraid they were enemies, so I quickly ran back. Madam is playing the zither at Madam Rei's house, so she could only look for you. "
"Okay, I'll take care of it."
Fang Yun tidied his clothes and opened the door personally. Outside were the zither players from that day.
"Old gentlemen …"
Fang Yun cupped his hands in greeting. Before he could finish, these old zither players swarmed forward like a group of monkeys, surrounding Fang Yun at the door.
"What's with this fingering technique?"
"Who made 'Tune of a Peaceful Night'? To be able to use the fingering technique of the left hand to such a level, it's simply amazing! "
An old man even grabbed Fang Yun's clothes and held a sheet of music for 'Tune of a Peaceful Night'. He said excitedly, "What's with the 'three pinches', 'back lock', and 'finger-drop'? Who was the creator of this? "
Fang Yun knew that since he played 'Tune of a Peaceful Night' and other songs, even the neighbors could hear it. This kind of thing could not be hidden, so he did not ask Yang Yuhuan to hide it. However, he did not expect that groups of zither players would come in just a few days later. One of them was even a Han Lin student who had just entered the third level of the zither.
Fang Yun could only say, "I once obtained an incomplete zither score. Later, after some deduction and organization, I slowly made up these fingering techniques and songs. As for which zither master created it, I'm not too sure. It's just a very ordinary song. Why are you all so excited? "
To the Divine Temple, everything that did not exist in Saint Origin World did not exist. As long as Fang Yun took it out, it would definitely be recognized as his original work. On the contrary, it would make people suspicious.
However, the "Incomplete Zither Score" was different. If he claimed to have completed it, the Divine Temple would still treat him as the author. But with the incomplete piece as the source, it made more sense. After all, Fang Yun's zither skills were mediocre.
"Idiot! The song itself was indeed against the zither style of the Ten Nations as it was too weak. It was completely unsuitable for war songs, but it was extremely suitable for soothing the soldiers' emotions. When there was a huge battle, the Elementary Scholars who followed the army would have to constantly recite poems to calm the soldiers down. This would consume too much of their Qi and would be detrimental to the war effort. Although there was a soothing zither song before. However, it is not gentle enough. The style of your 'Tune of a Peaceful Night' is most suitable for pacifying the soldiers. If it is slightly improved, it will certainly be able to make an excellent pacifying song. You only need a little talent to work with the Wen Bao Qin to make the soldiers calm down! "
Another person said, "Old Zhou has been in the military all his life, what he values is practicality. What I value is the mood and interest in this song. The musical style of the Ten Nations is too rigid, and it emphasizes the right hand while neglecting the left hand. I'm afraid it'll be difficult to make a breakthrough in the long run. Your left hand technique has lit a beacon for the Guqin Dao of the Ten Nations! "
"Have you been enlightened by the Cowherd Star and the Vega Star?"
"Quick, let us take a look at the incomplete version!"
Fang Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Everyone, let's talk inside. If you don't, I won't say a word!"
"Go, go, go! Let's talk inside then! "
The group of old men escorted Fang Yun into the living room. Before Fang Yun could speak, they pushed him down. The group of old men pushed Fang Yun to the seat of honor and then moved the chairs over. If there weren't enough chairs, they stood and surrounded Fang Yun tightly.
"You're our teacher now, don't be restrained. Speak! "
"Hurry!"
Apart from a few old zither masters who had been watching with a smile, most of them were anxious.
Fang Yun looked around at the old zither masters helplessly and said, "Old Misters! I know that you've been studying the zither all your lives, but any one of you is famous in the Jade Sea Prefecture. A few of you are even famous in the entire Saint Origin World. With such high statuses, why are you in such a hurry? Let's talk slowly. "
"Can we learn a new zither song by talking slowly? Let's talk about serious matters! Where's the incomplete music? "
All of the old zither masters looked at Fang Yun anxiously.
Fang Yun spread his hands and said, "The incomplete music is too incomplete. I just finished reading it and it completely shattered."
"What a pity! What a pity! "
"Such a big piece of work will never see the light of day. How painful!"
A few old zither masters beat their chests and stomped their feet. They were on the verge of crying.
"Then write it down." One of the old men said.
"The music score is very complicated, and I can't remember many parts. I'm slowly recalling and writing down bits and pieces of it. If you let me write it down now, there will definitely be various omissions. "Fang Yun said.
"You …" The old zither masters were speechless. Fang Yun was right. He wasn't a Grand Scholar, so it was reasonable to say that he couldn't remember everything he saw.
Fang Yun smiled and said, "So, old Misters, please give me some time to think. I'll write down as much as I can think of and perfect it. If there's anything I don't understand, I'll ask for your advice. How about it? "
"This … What if you're lying to us?"
An old zither master immediately said unhappily, "Since Li Wenying thinks highly of Fang Yun, there must be no problem!"
"There's absolutely no problem with Fang Yun's character. He clearly knew that the Flood Dragon King wanted to kill him, yet he still dared to face the Flood Dragon King at the Waterlog Stopping Poetry Festival. A person with such breadth of mind wouldn't lie to us."
"I reckon that in this kid's eyes, the Sage Dao is first, poetry second, calligraphy third, and the zither fourth. He doesn't care at all and wouldn't go so far as to hide it."
"Right, right."
Fang Yundao said, "Since everyone trusts me, I'll take it slow. Every half a month, I'll take out the incomplete music score that I've recalled, or the complete music score and fingering technique that I've deduced. How about it?"
The old zither masters looked at each other. They all suspected that there was something else going on, but they couldn't say it directly. If they angered Fang Yun, they might as well get a new music score or fingering technique every half a month.
Soon, all the old zither masters looked at Pan Hanlin. Mister Sanjue wasn't here, so Pan Hanlin's attitude was the most important.
Pan Hanlin said, "No matter what, Fang Yun is willing to announce the fingering technique and music score, which is a great merit. We can't be too greedy. Moreover, this' Tune of a Peaceful Night 'alone is enough for us to study for a long time. Then we'll do as Fang Zhenguo said. We can afford to wait. "
"Lord Pan's words are reasonable. After all, the incomplete music belongs to Fang Yun. How he deals with it is his business."
"Right, right, right. Fang Banxiang, Old Man was too impatient. I apologize."
The old zither masters realized that Fang Yun had an inside story, but it was rude of them to be so anxious to see the incomplete music, so they apologized one after another.
Fang Yun knew that these old zither masters had no ill intentions, so he smiled and said, "Old Sirs are too polite. Then I'll explain the 'Tune of a Peaceful Night' and the fingering technique in detail."
"Yes, yes!"
"Fang Maocai, don't worry. We won't steal your credit. When the time comes, you can organize the 'Tune of a Peaceful Night' and the fingering technique. We'll vouch for you and give it to Duke Jian Mei. It will definitely be included in the 'Holy Road'. Although zither Dao is not as good as poetry, the fingering technique and music score added together are worth no less than Zhenguo!"
"When the complete music score is completed, I'm afraid it'll be worth more than Zhenguo," someone said.
Fang Yun had been silent. He knew that what was in the Wondrous Book World was not an "incomplete music score," but the crystallization of thousands of years of zither Dao wisdom.
When the old zither masters calmed down, Fang Yundao said, "Before I talk about the fingering technique, I want to ask, why did you all suddenly come together as if you had made an appointment?"
The old zither masters laughed. One of them said, "There was a zither session today to discuss the future of zither Dao. One of my disciples talked about the 'Tune of a Peaceful Night.' His wife and Madame Lai are close friends, and they're not far from your house. We asked his wife to send the music score to study and play it. We found that not only were the fingering technique novel, but it also coincided with zither Dao. The 'Tune of a Peaceful Night' itself was also a work of a master. It was extremely extraordinary. After we found out that it originated from you, we immediately came together. So, many of us brought our zithers here to learn the fingering technique at your house. "
"I see. Then I'll talk about these fingering techniques. I'll go get my zither. " Fang Yun returned to his study after he finished speaking. He carried his zither to the living room. Fang Daniu and the doorkeeper carried the zither stand behind him.
One of them said, "Eh? Isn't this the Trembling Zither? After four hundred years, it can be used as a collection. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to use it to play? Does Fang Yun want to use this zither to teach? "
"Old Yao, don't you know about Fang Yun and the Cui Family?"
"I don't know."
"Fang Yun got lucky. He found out that this Trembling Zither actually has six hundred years of history and has been injected with talent three times. So, he asked Old Master Cui to inject talent into it and obtained a four-fold Wenbao Zither."
Almost all of the zithers looked at Fang Yun enviously. Most of them only had ordinary Wenbao Zithers. Fang Yun's Trembling Zither was even more valuable than ordinary Hanlin Wenbao Zithers. They could not help but be envious.
After putting down the zither, Fang Yun began to carefully explain the fingering techniques in the 'Tune of a Peaceful Night'.
After a quarter of an hour, someone knocked on the door.
Fang Yun did not stop and continued to speak. The old zithers did not pay much attention to him.
The worst zither master here was an Elementary Scholar. They were also proficient in zither Dao. Their ears were very sensitive and could hear the conversation at the door. After hearing a few words, they turned their heads in surprise. Fang Yun had no choice but to stop his lecture. He said, "Everyone, please wait a moment." He walked out doubtfully.
This was because everyone heard the words' Meng Family '. Among the Half-saint aristocratic families, there was a Meng Family.
Fang Yun looked outside the door as he walked. There was a middle-aged man standing outside the door. He was wearing a white scholar's robe. He smiled and said, "Yes, it is Wu Guo's Meng Family. They wish to see Fang Yun, Fang Zhenguo."
The gatekeeper turned around and saw Fang Yun walking towards him.
Fang Yun smiled and said, "I am Fang Yun. I wonder what this Senior Scholar wants?"
The Scholar cupped his hands and smiled, "Wu Guo's Scholar Meng Lin Yu greets Fang Banxiang!"
"Scholar Meng Lin Yu is too polite. There are guests in the house and it is not convenient to welcome you in. If there is something important, you can follow me to the study." Fang Yun said.
Meng Lin Yu stopped smiling and said seriously, "I have come from far away. I have something important to discuss with you."
"Please!" Fang Yun led Meng Lin Yu into the study.
The two of them sat down. Fang Yun asked, "May I ask what Brother Meng is here for?"
