unrequited temperament

The sky in the countryside is blue, the water is clear, the mountains are green, and there is no hustle and bustle.When the environment is clear, the mind will be at peace.

Xie Yun has lived in the countryside for more than five years.Every morning and evening, I sit on the mountain and play the piano, basically without interruption.

Master Xie Yun, Mr. Zhang, praised him many times in front of other disciples that he, a closed disciple, was dedicated and dedicated, and that he had the highest understanding of Qin among all the disciples.He also advised other disciples to learn more from younger disciples.

The eldest disciple deeply believed it, and came to the countryside from time to time to listen to the high-pitched voices of his juniors, and said that every time there was a harvest, it was different every time.

The second disciple came from a prestigious high school and is proficient in Chinese and Western music. He was already an internationally renowned pianist when he studied guqin with Mr. Zhang.As for why he suddenly started to learn Guqin later, according to the third disciple, it was because Western music flourished while Eastern Chinese music declined, and he wanted to inherit and promote Chinese classical music.However, since ancient times, Guqin has always been of high quality and rare, and it is difficult to become popular. If the second disciple wants to promote Chinese music, it seems that it is not suitable to choose Guqin. Therefore, the reason why the second disciple chooses Guqin remains to be verified.But Mr. Zhang, his eldest disciple, and Xie Yun, the youngest fourth disciple, never asked.Only the third disciple asked about it in a casual chat, but the second disciple never gave any answer. The third disciple made his own judgment, and the second disciple did not deny it, so the third disciple took it as the correct answer.

The third disciple is a girl with an active and quiet personality. When she first saw Xie Yun, her heart was moved. In the end, she gave up after Xie Yun's expressionless face and few words for hundreds of days. Later, she went to Europe with the second disciple. Study tour, has not returned yet.Xie Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

If you ask Xie Yun what he is most afraid of, it must be having emotional entanglements with women.Eight years ago, Xie Yu had just graduated from university, and was eager to start a career with a group of friends. He didn't want to think that before the career started, he went to prison for three years because of some things about men and women in his life.

Three years later, he is no longer the same as he was three years ago, and the blood and passion of youth are floating like smoke.The bustling city seemed to be separated by an invisible fog in his eyes.Without seeing any of his former friends, he came to the countryside.Meeting Mr. Zhang and learning Guqin was a coincidence, but it also seemed inevitable.With Guqin, Xie Yun has sustenance and a home for his whole being.Since then, his life has been accompanied by Guqin, and he is very happy.

Playing the qin in the morning and evening is pleasant, and playing the qin in the middle.Today, Xie Yun is already a well-known guqin master in the guqin world.

As Zhang Lao's closed disciple, Xie Yun is a relatively mysterious existence in the guqin world.This mystery comes from three factors.

One is that Xie Yun's senior brothers and sisters are all very famous in the guqin world, especially the second senior brother has long been an internationally renowned pianist. After dabbling in guqin, he can be said to be the most famous in the high-cold guqin world.And these people often mention Xie Yun on various occasions, claiming that they are not as good as Junior Brother.Once or twice, everyone only thought they were humble, but the more times, coupled with the sincere attitude of a few people's words, everyone gradually understood that what they said was definitely not words of humility.For this reason, although Xie Yun had never appeared in Guqin Yaji, his reputation had already been resounding.As long as I show my face, show my skills, and prove it every minute, then I will definitely be the title of guqin player.But Xie Yu never showed his face, nor did he show his skills.His guqin playing level has always been a legend.This became the second reason for his mystery.

The third reason is that Xie Yun first sold the violins he made by himself three years ago. The initial price was 4 a piece.Now Xie Yu's piano has been fired to the number of millions.Even the famous Qin Jiuxiao Huanpei in the Tang Dynasty is only worth a million dollars.And Xie Yu, a newly promoted violin master, sold the violin at the price of an antique, which can be described as unbelievable.In this way, Xie Yu became even more mysterious.Especially outsiders don't know Xie Yun's name, and when they address him, they say Mr. Zhang's closed disciple, or Dugu hermit.The name of this lonely hermit was first mentioned by the big brother, and then gradually became popular in the circle.

Xie Yu has three pianos that are almost finished.They were all custom-made by others at the beginning of last year, one Fuxi style, one Jiaowei style, and one banana leaf style.

The Fuxi style was entrusted by a friend of the elder brother, and Xie Yu received 4 based on the price he originally sold the piano.The Jiaowei pose is done by Master Zhang Lao.Mr. Zhang was relatively busy, so he directly left the task to Xie Yun.The disciple has grown out of the blue and is better than the blue, Mr. Zhang is very relieved.

The Banana Leaf Qin was custom-made by a rich man, and the bid was 100 million.It is said that a rich man wanted to give it to the girl he liked.That girl studied ancient Chinese, and her hobby is guqin.In order to match his preferences, the rich family found the most expensive luthier in the circle and made a million-dollar order.Even so, it has been queued for several months.

The regulation of Xie Yu's piano is that one to three pianos must be produced every month, and more than ten pianos must be taken care of every day. Xie Yu is meticulous in every aspect of each piano, treating it like a beloved thing Dedicated and polished.Therefore, for Xie Yu's piano, people who know how to play the piano can't put it down.To paraphrase a Guqin master, Dugu Hermit's qin has spirituality and can be passed down as a famous qin.At that time, the speculation price was one million, and this master contributed to the flames.

The place where Xie Yu makes the piano is Mr. Zhang's farmhouse, which has an area of ​​more than 400 square meters.The house is located in the southwest corner. It is a tiled house with three entrances and three exits and two floors. Five years ago, when Xie Yu first came here, the exterior of the house was still a rough red brick without any decoration, and the inside of the house was only painted one floor. Paint, the floor is cement, not much decoration.

According to the third senior sister who had a crush on Xie Yun, it was because the old master said that the qin should be made in this kind of house with a rough mountain atmosphere. Only when the environment is suitable, can the qin made be a top-grade good qin.The disciples deeply agreed, and the third senior sister also went from being dissatisfied at first to feeling quite good later.The elder brother also said that he was used to the luxuriously decorated buildings inside and outside the city, and he liked the simple style of the houses in the countryside.

After Xie Yun came, he lived here for a long time. For the first two years, his master, brothers and sisters were often there too, and the house remained the same as before.Later, when Xie Yu lived alone, he accidentally got up and painted ink paintings on the outer wall.Immediately, there were no houses in the village. The luxurious red brick houses immediately became high-end because they were endowed with art.It is more sought after than some houses with tiles in the village.Villagers passing by always look at the paintings on the wall.Mr. Zhang came to see him and said happily, "it's very good."Then, the reputation of Xie Yun's paintings also spread, adding to the mystery index.

Xie Yu has been living in the farmhouse since becoming Zhang's old disciple, and he hasn't traveled far for five years, and hasn't even set foot in the city.In the first year, Mr. Zhang praised him for being able to endure loneliness, but after a few years, Mr. Zhang felt quite helpless about this disciple's attitude of staying within ten miles of the farmhouse.Throughout the year, Xie Yun lived in the farmhouse by himself for most of the time, with a look of peace and contentment, and his love for the mountains and rivers.The ability to cook is also good in living alone, from knowing nothing to being able to use a rice cooker to make rice with just the right hardness, and to be able to fry a plate of delicious vegetables.This is Xie Yun's regular meal. Xie Yun is not a vegetarian, but since some time, he has become a vegetarian naturally.

In the northeast corner of the farmhouse is a vegetable shed, which is managed by an old farmer nearby.All year round dishes are of good quality and variety.All the vegetables Xie Yu eats all year round come from the shed.There are also small fruit trees, peach trees, plum trees, loquat trees, and a small piece of grapes planted in the yard.And because the fruits of the fruit trees here are delicious and attractive, it also attracted a Taoist priest who lived on a nearby hill to visit.

There is a temple next to the mountain, named Qingyan Temple, which is said to have been built in the Ming Dynasty and has a long history.Hidden in a cypress tree, you can't see it, you can't hide it, there is a bit of mystery.

The Taoist temple is relatively dilapidated and simple, with moss on the stone path, overgrown weeds in the temple, and the red paint of the classical buildings is peeling off.According to the villagers, once in a while, three or two disciples would hang out with the Taoist chief, but they would leave after a year or a half.Everyone said that those little Taoists were well-educated scholars from the city. They might be novel at first, but they could endure living in that environment.

A few people left, a few came, and a few left.Of those who come and go, only the Taoist priest has been stationed in the temple.However, this station has not always been there all the time. The Taoist leader is quite a bit of a dragon, and it is normal to be here and now, and he spends more time not in the temple than in the temple in a year.People in the village haven't seen the Taoist priest for a long time, and when they suddenly see him, they will say: Taoist priest Yunyou is back, and the Taoist priest will answer yes with a smile.

The priest is said to have been at Qingyan Temple for 20 years.According to the older generation of villagers, when he came here, he looked like he was 40 or 20 years old. Twenty years on, he doesn't look like he's changed at all.The villagers are more and more convinced that the Taoist priest is a person with real skills.Although I haven't seen him give fortune-telling to others, the Taoist priest is proficient in Chinese medicine. The villagers occasionally have intractable diseases that Western medicine can't help, but the Taoist priest can always cure them with medicine.

The Taoist priest never said how much he charged for seeing a doctor, but only smiled and said to people, you can pay as you like, or you don’t have to.Of course, almost no one does not give money.There is a merit box next to the gate of Qingyan Temple. When the villagers pass by, if they have some change, they will usually donate a few coins.Some villagers once offered to help Guanli weeding and repairing.But the Taoist priest said: "This Feng Shui is just right, so it is not suitable to move."So Poguan has been dilapidated, but it looks like it is one with nature. I don't know if this is the good Fengshui that the Taoist priest said.

The Taoist priest can also write couplets. During festivals, if the Taoist priest is around, he will write couplets for the villagers for free.Daoist Chang's calligraphy is written by everyone. Although the villagers can't appreciate the quality of the calligraphy, they all think that Daoist Chang's writing is better than the couplets sold in the market.However, Taoist chiefs generally don't write more, saying that they can't let those who sell Spring Festival couplets not sell them.In addition, there is a gossip that the couplets written by the Taoist chief have the effect of ensuring safety.

Let’s get back to it, after Taozi and Xie Yun got acquainted, the Taoist leader quickly made Xie his confidant, and from then on he often listened to Xie Yu’s Guqin playing morning and night.A look of being intoxicated and not knowing the passage of time.

After getting acquainted with Xie Yun, the Taoist leader obviously spent more time watching, and the time of traveling became more regular. In a year, there is only one trip in each season, and the trip time is not long.I don't know if it's because the Taoist priest has been watching for a long time, and the incense in the temple has obviously become stronger.From time to time, there will be a few proud pilgrims, and this year there are especially many high-profile guests.From the first month to the current summer and July, there is quite a continuous stream.

Daochang Min took in two new disciples, one is said to be a doctor of physics from Tsinghua University, and the other is said to be a returnee with a master's degree in philosophy.It is said that the Ph.D. in physics was stunned because of his research on life sciences, and he could not find the answer. One day, he was instructed by someone and fell into the arms of the Taoist sect.The philosopher was said to be proficient in Western philosophy, and suddenly became interested in Chinese classical philosophy, especially Confucianism and Taoism.Then entered the door.

The reason why there are so many visitors this year is because of these two talented students.It is said that many of the people who came were their classmates and friends.Out of curiosity, they came to practice in a Taoist temple, so they came to see what happened.

As the number of people in the temple increased, so did the number of people visiting Xie Yun.Xie Yun dealt with it a few times, and his brows were stained with melancholy.Those people reminded him of some people who were considered friends in the past. He hadn't thought of those people for a long time. When he suddenly remembered, he instinctively had a bad feeling, so he closed the door to thank the guests.In order to be clean, he and the Taoist priest hid in the distant mountains to play the piano and discuss Taoism.

After several months like this, Xie Yun had long forgotten the rich and wealthy pilgrims who came and went in Qingyan Temple.Unexpectedly, when he returned to the farmhouse one evening, he saw a few men dressed in shirts and trousers picking fruits in the yard.One person is on the tree, the other is holding a wooden ladder, and the other is holding a frame under it. The person on the tree picks the fruit and throws it into the frame.

Xie Yu quietly appeared in the yard, no one noticed at first.Standing for a few seconds, Xie Yu decided to pretend he didn't know about it.He doesn't mind picking a few fruits.He turned and walked towards the house, but was spotted immediately.The person under the tree hurriedly shouted: "Are you the owner here? We want to buy some loquats. How much do you think? How about 1000 yuan?"

Xie Yu stopped in his tracks, turned around and replied, "Yes."

The person looking after the frame looked at the other two: "Which one of you has brought money. Count 1000 yuan."

The man holding the ladder shrugged and shook his head: "I didn't bring it." Looking at the man on the tree, "Jiaxing, did you bring it?"

Kong Jiaxing retreated from the tree with the help of the wooden ladder, and said, "I didn't bring it with me, so I told him to bring it tomorrow or follow us to Qingyan Temple to get it."

The man on the ladder wanted to turn his head to pass on a message, but there was still a figure in front of him.For a moment, he mistakenly thought that he had seen a ghost, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat from nervousness, and said in a trembling voice: "People... people are gone!"
