Chapter 49: Suona
"Don't worry, two seniors. I have a basic understanding of music and will study it wholeheartedly." Chu Lu Ren said sincerely.
After all, this song contains a "state of mind", which is worthy of Chu Lu Ren's enlightenment to comprehend!
After hearing what Chu Lu Ren said, the two old men couldn't help but have some insight. "Having a basic understanding of music" should just be a humble expression, right?
Unexpectedly, I met someone who shares the same interests as me?
"I wonder if Young Master Chu is learning to play the qin or the flute?" Liu Zhengfeng asked in a gentle voice.
"No, it's... a musical instrument that came from the Western Regions." Chu Lu Ren told the truth.
It is true that the suona was first introduced from the Western Regions, but it was quickly localized, and especially later...it became popular even more quickly!
Especially in this vast world, it is hard to tell what era it is. This year is the fourth year of Tiansheng according to the Song court's reign title. However, compared with the fourth year of Tiansheng in the Northern Song Dynasty, there are very few similarities.
In the world where Chu Lu Ren lives today, suona has already entered the stage of popularization. It can be said that if Chu Lu Ren did not have the golden finger of sudden enlightenment, he would not have starved to death with this skill from his previous life!
"Huqin or Pipa?" Qu Yang mentioned two common ones.
"Suona."
Qu Yang: ...
Nonsense! Chu Luren was born in the Singularity Orphanage, so do you expect him to learn piano?
"Cough cough cough..." Liu Zhengfeng almost fainted.
Qu Feiyan patted Eunuch Liu on the back to help him calm down, while glaring at Chu Luren for no reason.
"Hahaha, suona? Well, maybe Young Master Chu and my senior brother will have something in common!" Liu Zhengfeng said with a smile.
"Yes, the suona is a bit high-pitched, but if it is balanced by the erhu..."
"Hehe, my senior brother's erhu is the most mournful... It is because when I listen to his erhu, I feel that it is too mournful, so I don't want to see him."
Liu Zhengfeng was also about to die, and began to complain about Mo Da, with whom he had an average relationship.
Chu Luren rolled his eyes – Do you know that this is bullying in the music industry?
Why did Linghu Chong get the song "Swordsman" and be able to play the piano and flute with Miss Ren, while I, Chu Lu Ren, was chosen to be a couple with Mo Da?
Are you discriminating against us, the Chulu people?
"Hahaha..." Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang, as if they had heard something extremely interesting, took out the music score, looked at each other and laughed until they died.
The laughter also dispelled a lot of the sorrow of separation from life and death.
Qu Feiyan was sobbing quietly at this time, as if she was worried that her crying would affect the cheerfulness of Grandpa and Eunuch Liu when they left .
But at this moment, a mournful erhu sound was heard, as if seeing the two off, but no one showed up, and the sound became farther and farther away!
"Could it be...Uncle Mo?" Linghu Chong vaguely guessed that it was very likely that Mo Da was right beside them.
If Chu Lu Ren doesn't take action, Mo Da will probably do it too!
It’s just... Mo Da obviously has no intention of forming a couple with Chu Lu Ren.
"Brother Linghu, Sister Qu, let's bury these two old seniors." Yi Lin said reluctantly at this time.
"You go and bury the two seniors, I'll take care of him." Chu Lu Ren said as he grabbed Fei Bin's body.
Chu Lu Ren was not Mo Da, so he did not leave any sword marks on the corpse. He did not intend to warn Zuo Lengchan specifically, but only wanted to completely destroy the corpse and eliminate all traces!
Fei Bin was also very annoying. He didn't bring the secret manual of Da Songyang Palm and Songshan Sword Technique. Chu Lu Ren felt regretful +1.
In fact...few people would carry around the secret manuals they have memorized!
Linghu Chong, Yi Lin and Qu Feiyan buried Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang, and buried their zithers and flutes with them.
The Chu Lu people also found a cliff and threw Fei Bin's body into the ravine.
After they reunited, Linghu Chong took the music score. As for Chu Lu Ren... there was no need to worry, as Qu Feiyan had already memorized the music score.
There is no fixed and universal writing format for the music score of the seven-stringed zither nowadays. Linghu Chong couldn't understand the music score written by Qu Yang, but Qu Feiyan could tell the tune.
Afterwards, Linghu Chong and Yi Lin had to find an excuse that was not too "suspicious" to reunite with their respective masters, and it would not be a good idea to bring Qu Feiyan with them at this time.
Although Fei Bin was dead, theoretically, other people from the Five Mountains Sword Sect didn't know the relationship between Qu Feiyan, the little girl, and Qu Yang, but after all, the two were disciples of the Five Mountains. If they were discovered in the future, it might be difficult.
If there were no one else around now, they wouldn't be afraid to take on some difficulties, but since Chu Lu Ren was here, they would temporarily entrust Qu Feiyan to Chu Lu Ren.
Although Qu Yang's death would most likely lead to his being forgotten in the Sun Moon Sect, Qu Yang had watched over the Saint Lady when she was a child, and she was also very close to the little girl Qu Feiyan. As long as she could reunite with the Saint Lady, she would be safe.
What's more, with Qu Feiyan's cleverness, she wouldn't suffer any great loss in the underworld. If Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng hadn't been about to die, even if Fei Bin wanted to kill her, he might not have succeeded!
After that, Qu Feiyan just told the score to Chu Luren, and Chu Luren directly recorded it using the digital score writing method of suona.
After returning to Hengshan City, I bought a suona. If it was a lyre or something like that, it wouldn’t be so easy to find…
Seeing Chu Luren being so serious and as if he really wanted to learn "Swordsman" by himself, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but feel happy, but... looking at the suona hanging on Chu Luren's waist, she felt a little disgusted!
After paying homage to his grandfather, Qu Feiyan adjusted his mood quickly, or rather...hid his sad mood quickly.
"The prototype of suona was introduced to the Central Plains from Persia. It has a majestic tone and a high-pitched pronunciation... It is wrong to discriminate against musical instruments !" Chu Lu Ren said with his head held high.
"Oh, actually I didn't say anything." Qu Feiyan curled her lips when she heard that.
In fact, suona is not bad. Compared with the guzheng, pipa and the like, it is convenient to carry. Mainly, Chu Luren doesn’t want to practice other instruments because he doesn’t have many musical talents!
Why make things difficult for yourself?
State of mind...
It may not be necessary to start with music, but since Chu Lu Ren already knows a way to get started, he naturally won’t miss it!
"Are you sure that no one in the righteous way recognizes you? Then I will take you to Liu's house." Chu Lu Ren specially confirmed it again.
"Eunuch Liu's two disciples have seen me twice, so they may be able to guess something. As for the others... In fact, let alone those hypocrites in the righteous way, there are very few people in the sect who know me. We will part ways in Hengshan City, and I can go to find the Saint Aunt by myself." Qu Feiyan was very confident. After all, traveling in the world is not all about martial arts.
"No, I can take you to look for it nearby. In fact, I met people from the Sun and Moon Sect before. They should be here for your grandfather and Senior Liu. I just don't know if the leader is the Saint Lady." Chu Lu Ren was not very reassured, after all, he was still a child.
"Huh? Who did you meet?" Qu Feiyan asked immediately.
"Yan Sanxing, there are five others I don't know, and they are all dead." Chu Lu Ren answered honestly.
"They are the outer sects who have attached themselves to the Holy Religion... The Holy Lady must have asked them to rescue Grandpa! Did they die at the hands of the Songshan Sect?"
"No, die in my hands."
Qu Feiyan: ...
Chu Lu Ren told Qu Feiyan about his previous heroic deeds, but he didn't care that they were half "fellow disciples" of Qu Feiyan.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Qu Feiyan also sighed: He deserves to be killed, he deserves to be killed!
"But you just wanted to save a strange woman? Does it look good?" Qu Feiyan asked curiously.
"It should be quite nice, but I didn't look closely." After all, Chu Lu Ren had only seen it once, and he didn't even hear the sound, so he only remembered the general idea.
"Then why did you save me and grandpa?" Qu Feiyan couldn't help but ask.
"I saved that woman and she was innocent. I saved you and she was also innocent. Is that a contradiction?" Chu Luren looked at Qu Feiyan in confusion.
"There is no contradiction..." Qu Feiyan, who is always eloquent, was choked for a moment.
I also understand that the Chu Lu people are different from the hypocrites of the righteous path, and are also quite different from those so-called willful people in the Holy Church!
