Chapter Nineteen
The drawings Mu Yongye gave to the carpenter were carefully drawn by himself, the main part of a guqin.
At this time, Mu Yongye had reached the state of small circulation of heaven, and his future cultivation would be to reach the great heaven where the true qi was running. Although there was a very systematic cultivation method in my mind, from the knowledge, I knew that this cultivation not only requires self-cultivation, practice methods, but also the mind. It doesn’t matter if I practice myself, but if I have a systematic exercise, just follow it.
However, this is more difficult to cultivate the mind. What is the mind? To put it bluntly, it is the realm of cultivation. If your cultivation level is improved, it is easy to have problems. It is better to keep pace with your cultivation level. If your cultivation level is not enough and your cultivation level breaks through, it is easy to cause unstable foundations. At that time, you will be obsessed with it and it will be over.
Therefore, we must find a way to improve our realm, mainly our own perception. In the ancient times of the past, the sages thought of solutions, and the most direct ones were piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Chess, forget it, it is still a question whether there is Go in this world. If not, who will you go with? If you don’t play chess with others, how can you improve your chess skills? Thinking out of thin air? It’s better not to learn.
Although books can be written, they need to have a good font. Use the Chinese characters from the original world? Or the font from the world? Moreover, the realm is improved to a certain level and it is subject to the shape of the characters. The most important point is that if you practice calligraphy, you have to think of a way to paper and ink in the future, which is very troublesome.
Paintings are similar to books, and some require specific papers. At that time, you have to make fixed papers such as rice paper by yourself? Mu Yongye doesn’t have that time.
Only the piano is most suitable for Mu Yongye. Although it is difficult to practice the piano, it ranks first in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and can practice it alone, not a disposable consumable like calligraphy and painting. Moreover, among the evil ghosts that Mu Yongye devoured, there is a cultivator who entered the Tao with the piano.
Therefore, Mu Yongye wants to improve his realm, and this piano is the best, otherwise he would not have tried so hard to cut his ponytail.
The carpenter in the Shui family was still very powerful. In just ten days, he handed over Mu Yongye to his paulownia wood and made it into the torso of the guqin that Mu Yongye wanted. Of course, this was not enough to be achieved. Then Mu Yongye had more things to do. In terms of materials, with the help of the craftsmen at home, it took nearly a month to collect them.
After all, an guqin has accessories including Yueshan, Chenglu, peg board, zither, crown and corner (guzheng), goose feet, tail support, velvet, strings, zither, etc. A series of things make the servants of the Shui family busy.
In addition, the guqin created requires a base plate, affixed emblem, painted, drilled holes, etc. Therefore, after three months of busy work, all parts of the guqin in Mu Yongye’s mind were completely created.
During this period, no one knew what Mu Yongye was doing, and the Shuidongge couple also paid attention to it during this period. However, Mu Yongye kept silent, which made everyone full of expectations.
It was not until all parts were missing that Mu Yongye took out the mane he had worked hard to get, and then carefully selected it from it, arranged it slowly according to its thickness and its quality, and selected the best seven manes of different thicknesses from it, and slowly completed the last step of making the guqin according to the assembly method in his memory.
At this time, in front of Mu Yongye, there was a shiny black guqin. The entire guqin was a flat and long sound box, about 130 cm long, about 20 cm wide and about 5 cm thick. The surface of the panel was arched, with a string hole at one end of the head of the piano, the tail of the piano was oval, and on both sides of the neck and waist were crescent-shaped. The abdominal cavity of the piano was dug out from the lower half of the piano. Thirteen jade emblems were embedded on the panel to mark the phonemes.
Seeing something like a work of art, Shui Dongge and Huo Yuner stared at Mu Yongye again with the look of looking at the monster. This was what a three and a half-year-old child thought of? Although I don’t know what it is, this appearance makes people feel very comfortable. Could it be that the talent of the Mu family is so high? This little bit of it gives me aesthetic talent?
"What is this?" Huo Yuner immediately asked Mu Yongye strangely.
"Qin" Mu Yongye replied very simply.
"Qin? Is this considered a zither?" Shui Dongge couldn't believe it. After all, he was a head of a family. I had never seen any zither? This was also considered a zither?
"Of course, it can play the most beautiful sound in the world. I named it 'Fufeng'" Mu Yongye replied staring at the guqin.
"Is it really a piano? Then you can play it?" Huo Yuner said.
"Okay," Mu Yongye said immediately.
Then, I sat down to the edge of the piano, stretched out my little arm, and started playing it with great difficulty. The first time I played it, of course I had to play the famous song. Mu Yongye chose the first "Guangling San".
In the past, there was this music score in the mind of the evil ghost, so I still remember it very clearly how to play it.
"Ding, dong, dong, dong"
After playing a few sounds, Mu Yongye was not ready to play it anymore. It was too smelly. For Mu Yongye, who had never played the guqin, it was obviously unrealistic to play it well for the first time. Although he had the memory of the evil ghost, his proficiency and compatibility of the guitar could not be mastered in a short time.
"Why don't you play?" Huo Yun'er said strangely, and only made four sounds, of course she didn't hear anything.
Seeing everyone's anticipated gaze, Mu Yongye had to make a fuss. Forget it, just play it. It's ugly. At worst, you can practice it a few more times. At least you have to play the entire "Guangling San" for the first time.
