"Mr. Li, these are fourteen Tobaya silk strings. They can be said to be the best in the entire island country. But can this guqin really be played?" Akido Matsumoto placed the bag on the table, and then asked Fangyou with confusion.

Most of the guqins passed down from the Tang Dynasty have long been destined to be furnished in museums, and there is no possibility of playing. According to what Fang You said just now, this guqin has plum blossoms and turtle-back patterns on it, which can be said to be extremely ancient, reaching a thousand years ago. In addition, the current guqin is worn out, so he is really worried that this guqin cannot be played.

Hearing Akira Matsumoto's words, Fang You smiled slightly, "Matsumoto, although this guqin is a bit worn, it is well preserved and has not been missing. Playing is not a problem. It is just that it cannot be played as long as the guqin produced now. After all, after a thousand years of history, some internal structures have changed, so playing a few times will not affect anything."

Akido Matsumoto nodded, looked at the strings on the table, and then asked: "Mr. Li, do you want to play the strings for the guqin just to test whether this guqin can be played."

Fang You showed a mystery, "Matsumoto, I'm not sure yet, but I can tell you that playing the strings is not just to confirm whether this guqin can play it, but there are other purposes. Maybe you will know in a while."

"Mr. Li, we understand." Akida Matsumoto nodded, then stopped talking, quietly watching Fang You's movements, but he was looking forward to whether this guqin would be a rare treasure.

Then, Fang You took out a set of strings in the bag, which were generally seven strings in a group. Each set of strings was packed in a packaging bag. Two large Hatsune were written in the center of the packaging bag, and then a silk thread was drawn next to it, with a string written on it, and the lower left corner marked with the Totsune House.

I took out the strings from the packaging bag, and there were seven strings in total, each of which was rolled into a circle. It felt a little smoother to the touch. From the feeling, it should undoubtedly be authentic silk strings.

The strings used in ancient times were all silk strings, made of silk and have a history of thousands of years. Other types of strings are not suitable for some guqins. However, silk strings are suitable for any kind of guqin.

In addition to silk strings, they are also steel strings, which are made of metal. However, guqins made of some types of trees are not suitable for this kind of steel string.

As for the most commonly used ice strings and spider strings, ice strings are not the type lost in ancient times, and have only been studied in recent years. The ice strings lost in ancient times are made of ice silk. They are the most precious of all strings. In some martial arts novels, ice silk is also often used to make armor, but the ice silk has long disappeared from history.

Spider strings are also a string variety that has only been developed in recent years. They are made of spider silk and high-tech. However, they are very expensive. A set of strings can be said to be the best string besides the legendary ice strings. However, the emergence of this kind of spider string is just a rumor. It has not entered mass production or put on the market.

Nowadays, silk strings are the most commonly used strings used by those who learn guqin. However, silk strings must be made with silk. The supply of silk is generally provided by farmers who specialize in raising silkworms. However, with the popularity of making money in the sea and the development of land, the domestic silk situation is very bad. In addition to Taiguqin strings, domestic guqin enthusiasts now use three types of Jinyu and Wumen. Most of the others cannot be used on the table.

Fang You opened the strings, then fixed the end of the strings to Yueshan, and then pulled them to the dragon's gums to fix them on the back.

Pulling all seven strings up and down, Fang You gently plucked the strings with his hand, and a melodious and crisp sound suddenly rang into the room, causing Akida Matsumoto and others to beside him to be shocked.

Fang You played on the seven strings, then closed his eyes slightly, tasted the sound of the seven strings, and nodded with surprise at the end.

Unexpectedly, the sound of this Warring States Guqin has only changed slightly until now, but this change is inconspicuous in the crisp and bright sound of the Guqin.

The tone of this guqin is very pure and simple. Compared with other modern guqins, it can be said that they are so powerful that they don’t know where they are.

When playing the guqin, you don’t need to wear anything on your fingers, but if you want to play several other traditional Chinese instruments, such as the guzheng and the pipa, you need to wear fake nails. This is not to prevent finger injuries, but to play these types of instruments with nails. Wearing fake nails is to prevent the nails from being broken when playing.

When playing the guqin, it is much more casual. Some people like to play with their fleshy fingers, some people like to play with their nails, and some people like to play with half fleshy and half nails. As for whether to wear fake nails, it depends on everyone's preferences.

There are many kinds of fingering techniques for the guqin, and it is not difficult to learn basicly. It is just how to play it so fascinating.

Piano music is divided into different difficulties and levels, and the same is true for the guqin. Some complex music has very high requirements for the player. In some ancient costume TV series, you often see the player suddenly breaking the strings when playing. This is a major mistake in the fingering method, and the force is too high, resulting in the breaking of the strings.

Of course, when you are suddenly frightened, you will be unable to play the strings when playing for a while.

The top ten famous Chinese piano music are also in different levels, from level one to level ten, each with different levels. The level one Feng Qiuhuang and level ten Guangling San are very different. However, if a famous piano player plays it, even a level one difficulty song can play the charm of level ten.

After improvising a few times, Fang You stopped and held the strings in his hand, and couldn't help but fall into thinking again.

The strings were pulled up, but there were countless Chinese music. What kind of music can be played before the mechanism can be opened? He doesn't think that playing a song can open the mechanism.

If the seven strings and seven Yueshan are really mechanisms, then their exquisiteness is no less than that of the most advanced high-tech password locks in modern times.

The seven Yueshan Mountains must be shaken according to the rules. Then the mechanism inside may be opened, Fang You smiled. If others knew about their thoughts, they would probably not only sneer. There is a mechanism on the guqin, and they need to play a specific song to open it. It would be a bit ridiculous just by listening to it.

But is it really ridiculous? Fang You has a certain meaning in his heart, which is determined based on his experience in finding bargains on Taobao over the years.

After thinking about some famous songs, Fang You suddenly smiled and sighed inwardly about his clumsiness. There are so many guqin music passed down from ancient times, but this guqin was an object from the Warring States Period. The Warring States Period was the earliest period when the Chinese qin culture originated. In that era, the number of qin music was still very small, but many of them were passed down and became famous Chinese music.

Among the top ten famous songs, a large part was passed down from the Warring States Period, the most famous of which is the mountains and flowing waters.

The mountains and flowing water are originally a song, but with the evolution of time, they are divided into two independent piano music, one is the mountains and the other is the flowing water. The mountains and flowing water are in different levels in the classification of modern piano music. The flowing water song has developed more in modern times. As mentioned above, Tiellijian was sent to space to find aliens, and there is a flowing water music.

Fang You nodded. Since that's the case, let's play the mountains and flowing water first and see if you can open the mechanism.

When Wu Yang and Mr. Chu were discussing the guqin, he learned all the top ten famous songs and other famous songs, and played them very skillfully. With his memory and learning ability, these songs are not difficult. When ordinary people play, their minds are difficult to keep stable, but he does not have such difficulties.

With his current state of mind, he can control his mind freely. In addition, when he plays, there is a little gray airflow on his fingers, which is emitted from the strings. The sound is naturally very wonderful, reaching the level of fascination of Mr. Chu and others.

Fang You first played a song of mountains. The song of mountains and flowing water was because of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. There was a scholar named Boya in the State of Chu who liked to play the piano since he was a child. Although he was talented and had great achievements in piano skills, it was difficult to capture the charm of the music, just like being able to play difficult music, but not having a fascinating charm.

One day, his teacher took him to the search for the immortal master to enlighten him, but his teacher took him to a mountain and asked him to stay there first, saying that he went to the search for the immortal master to enlighten him.

Boya couldn't wait for the teacher to come back for a long time, so he stood up and looked for it. After walking around a mountain, he suddenly saw a strange scene in front of him. Between the mountains, a waterfall in the clouds and a clear spring in the fog. The water splashed like pearls, and the sound echoed like fairy music. Suddenly, Boya was inspired, sat on the ground, playing the piano to form a wonderful song. At this time, his teacher came from behind and said loudly: "Haha, you have found the immortal master."

Boya suddenly realized that the immortal master was nature, and this was the origin of the mountains and flowing waters.

The mountains and flowing water have some meaning, which is a soulmate. One day, Boya was ordered to go to the state of Chu. When the wind was strong, the boat stopped at the shore. He stood at the bow of the boat, watching the calm waves, a bright moon emerged from the clouds, and the piano was full of excitement. He played a song, and when the song ended, a woodcutter suddenly jumped out and praised Boya's piano skills.

Boya was shocked and asked him how to listen to the piano, but he understood the pros and cons of the piano. After taking Boya's piano, the woodcutter told the pros and cons of the piano one by one.

After listening to it, Boya was convinced and then tuned the strings and played the piano. The music was sometimes majestic and high-pitched, sometimes smooth and fluent. The woodcutter next to him sometimes said that the piano music was as majestic as Mount Tai, and sometimes said that it was as magnificent as rivers.

These words made Boya very happy. There were few people in the world who could hear his meaning when playing the piano. So they became brothers with the woodcutter. The woodcutter was Zhong Ziqi. Since Boya was going to serve in the state of Chu, he would meet again next year.

The next year, Boya arrived as scheduled, but unexpectedly Zhong Ziqi died. In front of his tomb, Boya played a song of flowing mountains and flowing water. At the end of the song, he broke the string with a knife and sighed to the sky, "My confidant is not here, who am I playing the piano for?"

The song "Takayama" expresses the majestic and majestic mountains, and when Matsumoto Akirama and his men listened to this music, they couldn't help but fall into this wonderful music.

I saw Fang You's hands constantly moving on the piano, and his movements were very smooth without any hardness. The mountains and flowing water were also his favorite song when he was learning to play the piano.

After playing the song of the mountain, Matsumoto Akidao and others were still shocked. Fang You looked at the guqin that had not changed at all, and stopped for a while and began to play the flowing water. Unlike the majestic mountains, the flowing water was full of smoothness. When playing the piano, the sound that appeared fully showed the clearness of the water.

A mountain seemed to appear in front of me just now, but now, Akira Matsumoto and others felt like they were surrounded by water flow. The warmth and softness of the water flow made people fascinated.

The flowing water ended, and the sound disappeared until the end. Fang You played the strings of the piano, but frowned, and the guqin still did not change at all. However, every time he played the mountain and flowing water, he felt a sense of dissatisfaction.

Putting the chaotic mood in his heart behind his mind, Fang You looked at the guqin and was a little amazed. This guqin was like the inscriptions of several Qing literati above, with a melodious and clear sound. After playing a song, there were still lingering sounds surrounding his ears.

After playing the mountains and flowing water, Fang You began to play other music from the Warring States Period, Guangling San and Yangchun Baixue.

After the two songs ended, the guqin still did not change at all. He played a few more ancient Warring States songs passed down. But it was still the case.

Fang You shook his head helplessly. Could it be that his guess was wrong? These seven Yueshans are not the mechanism of the guqin, or the guqin has no mechanism at all, or the mechanism of the guqin is a lost music.

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period have a history of more than two thousand years, and many precious things cannot be preserved until now. Whether it is actual objects or such music without entities, representing culture, many of them are lost in distant history.

"Mr. Li, it's so wonderful, so wonderful. I didn't expect that this piano dug out of the tomb could also play such fascinating music. This is the most beautiful music I have ever heard and it's hard to let go." Long after Fang You played a few songs, Akira Matsumoto and others came back from the beauty of the music, and immediately expressed their shock to Fang You with respect.

Fang You couldn't help but smile. So what if the music was beautiful? When he was playing, he kept staring at Yueshan. When he was playing the strings, the seven Yueshans would shake slightly from time to time. However, he played these famous songs of the Warring States Period, but there was still no movement.

If the mechanism on this guqin is present, then the only place where the mechanism may exist is Yueshan.

"Mr. Li, what is the first song you played? It makes us seem to feel two different scenes." Akido Matsumoto continued to ask with a puzzled look on his face.

Fang You came back to his senses from the thoughts of the mechanism and said with a smile: "Matsumoto, this is the mountain flowing water of one of our top ten famous Chinese songs. It was originally a song, but in the Tang Dynasty... haha, I seemed to understand a little." Suddenly, when he said this, his face changed, and then he laughed a few times as if he was enlightened.

The flowing water is originally a song, but it was divided into two independent piano music after the Tang Dynasty. This guqin belonged to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Then, the flowing water in the mountains is a song, rather than two independent piano music in later generations.

What he played just now was a separate piano piece from later generations. If we talk about the very famous piano piece during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, then it is naturally the most famous for its mountains and flowing waters.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li, what's wrong with you?" Matsumoto Akidao and others also changed their expressions and asked strangely. They didn't understand why Fang You suddenly burst into laughter when they were talking.

"Haha, Matsumoto, I would like to thank you for letting me understand a truth." Fang You smiled. What he should have thought of was the desire to open the Guqin mechanism, which made him forget such an important thing.

This is the reason why the so-called authorities are confused and the bystander is Quasi. If it weren't for the problem of Akira Matsumoto and others, he might not have thought of this.

"Mr. Li, is it related to this guqin?" Akida Matsumoto and others were not stupid people either. After thinking for a while, they understood what Fang You meant to laugh.

Fang You nodded with a smile, "Matsumoto, whether or not, it may be up to me to see my next song of the piano, but I still need to wait for a while."

The piano music he learned with Mr. Chu only had two independent piano music, mountains and flowing water, but did not learn the song that combined the two. Since the Tang Dynasty, high water flowing water has been played separately, among which the flowing water is the most famous. Fang You was a little worried that the piano score of high water flowing water combined into one song has been passed down.

If it has been passed down, as Mr. Chu, he will naturally know. If not, then Fang You might have to consider other ways to separate the guqin.

As he said that, Fang You took out the phone and called Mr. Chu, "Xiao You, what's the matter? Is it okay in the small island country?"

"Old Chu, several companies in the small island country are developing rapidly, everything is normal. I have something now, I need to ask you for advice." Fang You said with a smile. Naturally, the matter of the guqin cannot be revealed first. After all, he has not discovered the secret. When he discovers it or cannot find it, it is not too late to explain to Old Chu.

Mr. Chu smiled suddenly on the phone, "I knew that as soon as you call, if you ask for help, I will almost become a helpline here. Tell me, what's the matter."

Listening to Fang You's peaceful tone, Mr. Chu naturally didn't feel much nervous. If something major happened, Fang You would explain it straight to him.
