Chapter 153 Lingshan Art Center

Cao Qiulan: "But seeing me now, everyone should understand the answer to this question. Life is really important. No matter how difficult it is, how do you know that miracles won't happen if you don't persevere? And once life is given up , there is no chance of a miracle.”

"At that time, after I climbed the mountain for four consecutive days, on the morning of the fifth day, my friend Jiang Xiurui suddenly came to me with a piano. He didn't talk to me, just sat on the top of the mountain and played a song. Then asked me if I wanted to play the piano. I was stunned for a moment, and then took the piano in a daze. To be honest, my mind was in a mess at the time, and I didn’t know what to play.”

"In the next few days, Jiang Daochang came to me every day with his piano...Hey, don't be moved, I want to make this clear. Jiang Daochang lives in a Taoist temple on the mountainside, and he only needs to climb less than half of me. The journey is not that hard!" The audience in the audience, who were either moved, sad, or thoughtful, immediately laughed when they heard this sentence.

Cao Qiulan also smiled, and continued: "Maybe it's because I have someone to accompany me. My heart is not so chaotic, and I am in the mood to observe everything around me. Then I play some melodies every day, such as the breeze you just mentioned. , mountains, mountain peaks, morning glow, etc. On the last day, I created this song, this world is still very beautiful, and life is also very beautiful.”

"Of course there are many problems in my life, but since so many people want me to live, why should I give up?"

"This is the little story behind my creation of this piece of music, and what I want to tell you today is how to play a piece of music not only with skills, but with heart and emotion when playing the piano. To play, to resonate, to resonate with the audience and with nature."

Cao Qiulan started the lecture for more than an hour with a piece of music and a short story. What he said was very practical for those who want to improve their guqin playing. Everyone listened carefully. After the end, it also received warm applause.

There was an hour of question time after the lecture. The audience first asked some questions about guqin playing, and some questions that they did not understand in the previous lectures.Then there are various self-plays. For example, a lady asked Cao Qiulan what the name of the song she played at the beginning, whether it has been released, and whether the score of the song can be released.

Cao Qiulan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This song really... has no name. As for the score, I haven't released it to the public, but if everyone wants it, I can post it on Weibo after I go back. If you are interested, you can pay attention to my Weibo." Cao Qiulan wrote his own Weibo on the whiteboard, and as for the name of the song, they Xuanshu Guan ancestral name is useless.

Another example is the next lady who gave him a bouquet of white flowers.Cao Qiulan looked at the white flowers placed on the qin table, his smile was a little stiff, if it was a white lily, he would still accept it, but... this is a bunch of white chrysanthemums... the next one was a young man, he did not act coquettishly , just to compare the gossip, "Is the Daoist Jiang you mentioned the one you were discussing with before? Are you a friend of the year?"

In terms of age alone, the age gap between Cao Qiulan and Jiang Xiurui is indeed quite large.Cao Qiulan said with a smile: "I and Daoist Jiang apprenticed at about the same time. My family teacher and Daoist Jiang's master, Daoist Ye Zhinan, also knew each other."

After Cao Qiulan answered a few more irrelevant questions, he suddenly heard someone ask, "Are there really ghosts in the world?"

Hearing this question, Cao Qiulan frowned slightly, and looked at the person who asked the question, only to realize that it was Zuo Gen.At this time, Zuo Gen looked more haggard than when Cao Qiulan saw it yesterday, it seemed that it was because he didn't sleep well last night.

Although he didn't like this person, Cao Qiulan naturally wouldn't show it here, he smiled slightly and replied: "Everyone, I now know that I am a Taoist priest, and as a Taoist priest, of course I believe in the existence of ghosts. But because my purpose of coming here this time is to exchange Guqin culture with you, not Taoist culture, so I won’t elaborate on this issue.”

Zuo Gen seemed to want to continue asking, but soon someone else asked other questions, and Zuo Gen didn't find a chance to ask again.The one-hour question time ended quickly. Cao Qiulan stood up and clasped his hands to the audience, then left the venue with Zhang Mingli and others.

Several people still went back to Cao Qiulan's suite together. After trying Song Le's cooking skills, they were reluctant to go to the restaurant of the hotel.It's not that the hotel's chefs are not good at cooking, it's just that they are always inferior compared to Song Le.Song Le and Zhang Mingli went to cook together, Cao Qiulan and Du Zhenbang sat down to discuss Zuo Gen's affairs, Dong Yiyan sat beside Cao Qiulan and held his hand.

Dong Yiyan doesn't have time to pay attention to Zuo Gen now, he is full of thoughts about the story behind the creation of the song that Cao Qiulan talked about before.When he met Cao Qiulan, Cao Qiulan was already very strong. He had a firm heart and a strong heart, as if nothing could defeat him.Dong Yiyan must admit that this is also one of the points that Cao Qiulan attracts him, the strong and beautiful Cao Qiulan.

Dong Yiyan once thought that he would be very disdainful of the emotion of weakness, and it was indeed the case. He used to think that it was something only the weak had, and he always dismissed the weak.However, when he heard that Cao Qiulan had such a weak, confused, and hesitant period, Dong Yiyan not only did not feel any dislike, but felt distressed, and regretted that he was not able to accompany him at that time.

Maybe I was a little jealous, but the person who accompanied Cao Qiulan through this possibly weakest and most confused period was actually Jiang Xiurui.In the past, Dong Yiyan never paid much attention to Jiang Xiurui. Although he and Cao Qiulan were friends, their relationship with each other was just that. Ordinary friends are so simple.

Of course, if Dong Yiyan was jealous, he was silently jealous, and would not do anything to Jiang Xiurui. He even had to thank him for the days when he was with Cao Qiulan.Thinking of this, Dong Yiyan couldn't help covering his chest, suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and wanted to vomit blood.He never wronged himself like this before, but who made him have Cao Qiulan now, this is probably his calamity.

Dong Yiyan looked down at the hands that the two held. It was his catastrophe and at the same time his salvation.

Du Zhenbang next to him felt that his eyes were going blind, and wished he could run into the kitchen to help Song Le and the others, but unfortunately he was not talented in cooking, and Song Le had long since refused to welcome him into the kitchen.In other aspects, Song Le has always listened to Du Zhenbang, which is determined by experience and IQ.But Du Zhenbang also had to listen to Song Le on the matter of the kitchen, which was determined by technology.

Cao Qiulan let Dong Yiyan play with his hand, but looked at Du Zhenbang, and asked, "Du Shanxin, did something happen to Zuo Gen last night?" At least when they saw Zuo Gen yesterday, this guy didn't look like It looked like he couldn't sleep.

Hearing this, Du Zhenbang's face turned a little green, and he sighed and said, "A lot of things really happened. It didn't stop last night, and all kinds of strange and inexplicable sounds rang out countless times. Some Xiao Le couldn't even tell what was going on."

"However, as you said last night, Daoist Cao, those ghosts really only wanted to tease Zuo Gen, and did not really hurt him. But those inexplicable circumstances made Zuo Gen unable to sleep last night. I don't know how he offended those ghosts."

Du Zhenbang wasn't sympathetic to Zuo Gen, he was sympathetic to himself and Song Le. Zuo Gen couldn't sleep over there, and Song Le, who had monitored Zuo Gen, couldn't sleep either. Naturally, he couldn't sleep alone.The most depressing thing is that after staying up all night, there is no useful news at all.

Cao Qiulan said thoughtfully: "It's not necessarily that he offended the ghosts, maybe they just don't like him."

Du Zhenbang looked at Cao Qiulan in puzzlement. In fact, after knowing that those ghosts did not hurt anyone, although Du Zhenbang did not completely relax his vigilance, he did not feel much fear anymore.Human beings are afraid of ghosts, but they are actually afraid of the unknown.

Cao Qiulan smiled and didn't explain much.Although most ghosts do not have complete three souls and seven souls, they are formed after most of the souls of people after death, and most of them also have likes and dislikes when they were humans, especially ordinary ghosts who still have reason.

These missionaries, because of an unknown reason, have an inexplicable attraction to non-scientific existence.But there are many questers. While being attracted, ghosts can naturally choose from all questers.

The sins on Zuo Gen were invisible when they were humans, but they could see clearly when they became ghosts.Since they still have their senses, they naturally would not choose to provoke ascetics. Du Zhenbang and Song Le are considered good people, so they specifically targeted Zuo Gen.

Even during the mission, it is relatively safe during the day. After lunch, Du Zhenbang and Song Le went out to participate in activities. They have no interest in art, but they want to go out to find more clues to the mission , Zhang Mingli was also with them.But Cao Qiulan and Dong didn't move a word, Du Zhenbang and Du Zhenbang didn't have any objection to this, they were responsible by force.

Both Du Zhenbang and Song Le were the kind of people who knew what to expect. They knew that when the critical moment came, they might still need Cao Qiulan and the others to save their lives.Since others are stronger than themselves, it is only natural that they should take on more responsibility in other respects.

But this time Cao Qiulan and the others didn't want to go out because they wanted to rest. After Du Zhenbang and the others went out, Cao Qiulan turned and sat facing Dong Yiyan, looked him in the eyes and asked, "What do you want to say to me?" Although Dong Yiyan didn't. He made it clear, and didn't even hint at it, but Cao Qiulan knew that Dong Yiyan was holding back something in his heart, but he didn't say anything because he was concerned about the presence of outsiders.

Dong Yiyan nodded lightly, looked back into Cao Qiulan's eyes and asked, "I don't know about that. Why did I say it?" These are actually two questions. Dong Yiyan didn't want to say why he didn't know what he didn't know. Others, although he did care a little bit about this, he would never blame Cao Qiulan for this.He just suddenly realized that he didn't know Cao Qiulan well enough.

Cao Qiulan raised his eyebrows, with a smile in his eyes, he held Dong Yiyan's hand behind his hands, and said, "Because this matter is over, I don't care about it for a long time. I admit that I did walk into a misunderstanding at that time, but I myself Come out. This matter is just a story to me, and it doesn’t have any special meaning. I didn’t tell you because you didn’t ask, and I’ll tell you if you want to know.”

Dong Yiyan looked at Cao Qiulan seriously, making sure that he was really smiling and that he didn't care about the past at all, so he nodded hesitantly.He said: "I want to know, I want to know everything about you, you tell me now."

He didn't want this kind of thing about Cao Qiulan to happen anymore, but he found out about it with others, or only after others.Anyway, Cao Qiulan's Q&A time in the afternoon will not start until 03:30, and they still have more than an hour to talk.Cao Qiulan couldn't help laughing at Dong Yiyan's childish and serious look, nodded and said, "Okay, but that's too much, I have to speak slowly."

There was also a rare smile in Dong Yiyan's eyes. He didn't think it was childish, but it didn't matter what Cao Qiulan thought.He said seriously: "Okay, you tell me one thing every day, and I will also tell you about my past." Speaking of it, he really didn't tell Cao Qiulan much about his past, and he thought it was unnecessary. But now he kind of understands the feeling.

Seeing how serious he was, Cao Qiulan couldn't help thinking about it seriously, and said, "Let's talk about an incident that happened in the summer vacation of my freshman year. Didn't I have a good relationship with Tian Yi when I was in college? Actually, there are a few others As for the classmates who have a good relationship, Tian Yi organized everyone to go to the beach together in the summer vacation of the freshman year, because Tian Yi organized it, and I didn't refuse when he invited me."

"It just so happened that in the summer of that year, the Huaicheng Daoist Association also organized a visiting group. It happened to be the summer vacation, and Jiang Xiurui asked me if I wanted to go. In fact, I was more interested in the visiting group, but I already agreed to Tian Yi refused, so I rejected Jiang Xiurui. When I got to the place, I found out that there is a Taoist temple near the place Tian Yi and the others decided, and it happened to be one of the stops of the Wendao group."

"It's even more coincidental that the hotel we booked is right next to the Taoist temple. To be precise, the Taoist temple is on the mountain and the hotel is at the bottom of the mountain."

"When I saw Jiang Xiurui, I was swimming in the swimming pool with my classmates. Jiang Xiurui came down from the mountain with other priests. He could see the swimming pool from his angle. He is a Taoist with good eyesight, so he saw me. .”

"I feel so sharp, and then I looked up and saw him. You don't know how funny his expression and eyes were at that time."

"Using the sayings on the Internet now, the four words in capital letters are immoral!" Cao Qiulan rolled into Dong Yiyan's arms with a smile.

Even though it has been almost ten years, Cao Qiulan is overjoyed as long as he thinks of Jiang Xiurui's expression at that time.

Seeing Cao Qiulan happy, Dong Yiyan's expression softened.Although he is actually a bit sour, why is it related to Jiang Xiurui?But thinking about Jiang Xiurui's old age, he looks just like that, without any threat, and he is relieved again.

In addition, he was probably a little upset that Cao Qiulan's body was seen by others.But that was all before getting to know him, and the custom is like this now, so Dong Yiyan was unhappy, but he would never show it.

In essence, Dong Yiyan knew that there was a generation gap between himself and Cao Qiulan, and there was a gap of more than 1000 years between them.In fact, there are many different things in terms of ideology and concept, but Dong Yiyan made it clear that as an ancient man, that set has long been outdated.

So, except for some innocuous insistence, Dong Yiyan would never show these things to make Cao Qiulan unhappy.But speaking of it, why did Jiang Xiurui not remember the fact that he was a thousand-year-old ghost when he was old enough to slander Jiang Xiurui?

Cao Qiulan's cultivation level is still relatively low, and her supernatural powers have not yet been achieved. For the time being, she can't know what other people are thinking. Naturally, she won't know what messed things Dong Yiyan is thinking.He stretched out a finger to poke Dong Yiyan, and said, "I'm done talking, it's your turn." It's only fair for one person to say one thing every day.The previous director didn't say a word and he didn't ask, but in fact he still wanted to know a little bit.

Dong Yiyan thought about it for a while, and suddenly he didn't know what to say. Although his past life was long, it was really boring in retrospect.After thinking for a while, he said: "I come from an honorable family, but I have always been in a shallow relationship. You know that I was born in the royal family, and I am the old son of my father. Although my biological mother died young, I was loved by all. But when I was born, my father had old."

"After all, he failed to watch me grow up. When I was still a child, my eldest brother inherited my father's throne. There was no fierce competition for the throne. It is expected that my elder brother will inherit the throne as the eldest son. He also He is a benevolent king, he can't say he is kind to me, but he has fulfilled his elder brother's responsibility. It's just that the father and elder brother sit on the throne, so it must be different."

"In particular, my mother's family is an aristocratic family, and its strength should not be underestimated. My elder brother is still a little wary of me. I grew up in the capital until I was 17 years old. I have always been cautious and never cared about government affairs. I only do some piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs The matter of endowments, seeking immortals and visiting Taoism is probably to dispel his defenses against me. It's just that I didn't expect that after I died, this would lead me to another path."

Dong Yiyan looked at Cao Qiulan tenderly, and continued: "As soon as my 17th birthday passed, I left the capital and went to my fief. When I got on the carriage from Beijing, I knew that I might never return to the place where I was born and grew up. But at the time, I just felt relaxed. My palace was built in the city, but I prefer the villas in the suburbs, where there are large tracts of fertile land, and Taoist temples can be seen faintly in the distance."

Cao Qiulan suddenly felt moved, and asked: "Your fiefdom at that time was in Huaicheng? The Taoist temple you mentioned, shouldn't it be the Xuanling Temple?" Of course, the Xuanshu Temple is impossible, although Cao Qiulan didn't ask about it. There are so many things about Dong Yiyan's life, but I also know that when this guy was alive, Xuanshu Guan didn't exist at all. This is an old ghost who is older than Xuanshu Guan!

Dong Yiyan looked at his little wife dotingly, "Yes, it is the Xuanling Temple. I often went to Xuanling Temple to pay homage before I was alive, and I had a good relationship with the owner of Xuanling Temple at that time." If Cao Qiulan was born in his time, It is his noble princess.As for the fact that Cao Qiulan is male, there is no need to care about it. The ancients were more open than the moderns. As for the heirs, the emperor's brother wished that he would never be born again.

However, Dong Yiyan felt that it was better for Cao Qiulan to be born in this era, with equality and freedom.Cao Qiulan will never be inferior to others. He can do whatever he wants, as long as he does not break the law or discipline, even the president of the country cannot interfere with his freedom.Although many people still complain about social injustice, Dong Yiyan, who has come from the darkest era, knows better than anyone that this is a wonderful era.

Dong Yiyan was thinking about something, when Cao Qiulan suddenly asked, "Did you...didn't get married?" He knew that most people in ancient times got married at a relatively early age, which is also because the life expectancy of ancient people was relatively short.Although Dong Yiyan was actually very young according to modern people's point of view when he died, he could have been a father even in modern times, let alone in ancient times with early marriage and early childbearing?

Of course, this does not affect the relationship between them. After all, even if Dong Yiyan was married, his former wife is already dead.

Cao Qiulan didn't want to ask this question before, but after hearing Dong Yiyan talk about the past today, he suddenly wanted to ask.

This is a good question, and Dong Yiyan immediately cheered up and said loyally: "No! Lanlan, you are the only one for me!" None of the above.

Anyway, before he became an adult, his parents had already passed away, and the emperor's elder brother also acquiesced when he learned that he didn't want to get married, wishing he didn't have a legitimate son, after all, his throne and fief could be taken back after his death.

As for his mother clan, because of his status, they are also alienated from him.After all, the world was peaceful at that time, and the mother clan did not have the ambition to compete in the Central Plains, but also had the ambition to display their talents, so naturally they had to keep a distance from him, a sensitive person.Dong Yiyan couldn't remember whether he felt lonely at that time, but now that he thought about it, thanks to this, no one worried about his marriage.

But in the fiefdom, he is the boss, he doesn't want to get married, and no one dares to say anything in front of him.

Although Dong Yiyan also knew that because he didn't even have a concubine, and because he refused all the beautiful men and women sent up by the people below, there were always some rumors circulating in private, such as that he didn't give it up.But as long as it didn't reach him, he would just pretend he didn't know.

At that time, he didn't want to get married, but he just thought it was boring, he didn't think it was interesting to marry a wife, and he also felt that the housework was boring.Oh, Dong Yiyan's thinking has changed now, but times have changed, and it's not like it's better to not do anything now than to do nothing.However, who made his Lanlan so attractive?As long as Lanlan is by his side, no matter what he faces, he will be happy.
