The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 186 Choosing a Piano

Fang Yun did not expect that the Whale King would apologize for what happened to the Dragon Man, so he went to "Wenyouxuan".

Wenyouxuan is one of the few large stores in Yuhai City, and is owned by the Chen Sheng family. Wenyouxuan refers to the Four Friends of Music, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting, so it mainly deals in ordinary music, chess, calligraphy, painting and the Four Treasures of the Study.

Although Wenbao Qinqi and war paintings are highly profitable, the transaction volume is very small, and they are not the main business scope of Wenyouxuan. Only Shengyuan and Shiguoguodu have large-scale Wenbao specialty merchants, and their backends are all veteran brands from various countries. Semi-saint family.

Wenyouxuan in Tiandi Beizhong occupies a very large area. One shop occupies one street and is divided into four large shops for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Today, more than 300 employees have been mobilized from all over the country to receive thousands of customers.

Fang Yun entered Wenyouxuan, asked the clerk about it, and came to the place where Wenbaoqins were sold. He found that there were only five Juren Wenbaoqins and three Jinshi Wenbaoqins. They were all entrusted here by others and they wrote down the exchange conditions. Only exchange not sell.

Each piano has an appraisal certificate, which states the origin, age and number of talents injected into the Wenbao piano. Fang Yun also judged through the age analysis of the broken patterns. The age was the same as what the appraisal document said. It was a very ordinary Wenbao Qin, not worthy of the Whale King's mouth at all.

"I need a Jinshi Wenbao Qin, and the one worthy of asking the King of Whales must not be an ordinary Jinshi Wenbao Qin. In his words, it seems that he means to test my eyesight. It should be that one of the eight Wenbao Qins is very good. special."

Fang Yun once again carefully identified the eight Wenbao Qins, but still couldn't find anything.

"Could it be that there is a Wenbao Qin hidden among other ordinary Qins? The possibility is too small. There are too big differences between Wenbao Qins and non-Wenbao Qins. Wen Youxuan would not make such a big mistake. What on earth did the Whale King want to say? "

Fang Yun checked the eight Wenbao guqins for the third time, but still found nothing, so he had to find a clerk and go to a place not far away that sold high-quality guqins.

Fang Yun came to the store and found that there were more than ten rows of shelves with many Yaoqins in different shapes and colors, such as Fuxi, Zhongni, Lianzhu, Lingji, etc. Antique.

This place doesn't look like a shop, but like a palace of guqin.

Just by looking at it, Fang Yun felt his favorite music playing in his ears and felt happy.

"If those eight Wenbao qins are not special, there must be something special among these hundreds of qins." Fang Yun began to search slowly. He didn't look at new qin, but only the old guqin.

People who come here to buy pianos are different from other places. They walk easily and leisurely. They are not choosing products, but admiring works of art. The hustle and bustle of Yinlong Pavilion seems to be completely isolated.

Yang Yuhuan's eyes are particularly bright, because the harp and the harp are not separated, there are harps as well as the harp.

Seeing that she liked it, Fang Yun asked Nunu to accompany her, and he slowly appreciated the fine guqins, looking for possible good ones.

A comprehensive appraisal would take half an hour for one piano, and one hundred pianos could not be appraised in one day and one night, so Fang Yun only used the method of "breaking the pattern to judge the age" to quickly appraise it.

It takes hundreds of years for the piano to have cracks, and it takes hundreds of years for the ice to crack, and its shape is like a cracked ice surface. But after two hundred years, there will be some new broken lines in other parts of the piano body. The broken lines are like strands of ox hair, which is called ox hair break.

There are also a very small number of pianos whose materials are so special that no cracks will appear in the first few hundred years, and it will take hundreds of years for more advanced cracks to appear.

Fang Yun quickly looked through all the guqins, and finally stood at the end, looking at a long row of shelves with ten guqins on them. Each guqin was once a cultural treasure, and now it is extremely precious even if its talent has dissipated.

The most expensive guqin among them was made by a famous luther maker from the Qin State hundreds of years ago. Although it is somewhat damaged, it is worth 200,000 taels of silver and is the treasure of the store here.

Fang Yun observed carefully and found that there were two kinds of fracture patterns on the piano. One was the "snake belly fracture" that could only appear after five hundred years. The fracture patterns were long and widely spaced, arranged in parallel, just like the belly of a snake. They were extremely precious. of broken lines. This broken pattern not only proves its age, but the broken pattern itself has great collection value.

The second type is the "plum blossom break" that only appeared after 700 years. The broken pattern looks like plum blossoms blooming.

The strings and sound are like a paintbrush, leaving strange and beautiful broken lines on the body of the guqin.

People in Shengyuan Continent didn't care, but Fang Yun was extremely happy because he saw the Plum Blossom Broken for the first time with his own eyes. The Plum Blossom Broken was already a legendary broken pattern, and the Thousand-Year Turtle Back Broken, which was one step further up, was close to a myth and had no real object. , Fang Yun only saw a few sentences in Qishu Tiandi's "Cang Qin Lu", among which one sentence "A thousand pieces of gold cannot buy a broken turtle's back" left a deep impression on him.

"If there really is a broken turtle's back, then it must be on the 'bell' of the first killing instrument."

Fang Yun thought to himself, and couldn't help but admire the beautiful broken patterns for a while, before he began to seriously look for the possible guqin.

Finally, Fang Yun discovered a faulty guqin!

The appraisal document of the piano did not include detailed information about the maker, but indicated that it was a guqin from four hundred years ago and had been injected twice before.

The appraisal document also praised the special material of this guqin. It has been preserved for four hundred years without changing the tone. It can be played to this day, and the sound of the guqin is extremely thick. Although it does not reach the legendary level of the guqin being as powerful as a bell, it still "sounds" when playing war songs. "Shocking like a drum", like the sound of military drums in unison, frightening the enemy, hence the name "Shocking".

However, there is a piece of snake belly broken on it!

It is impossible for a four-hundred-year-old guqin to have its belly broken.

Fang Yun concluded that this guqin had a history of at least five hundred years, and because the guqin was once a cultural treasure, and the power of talent can slow down the formation of fracture lines, the actual age of this guqin is close to six hundred years!

Fang Yun observed carefully and combined the identification methods of Ancient China and Shengyuan Continent, and found that this qin was obviously six hundred years old, but the signs of wear and tear were like four hundred years. This not only showed that the material of this qin was terrible, but also It shows that this piano has actually experienced three talent injections!

It took six hundred years for the Zhendanqin to wear out to this extent, and it can fully withstand the fourth injection of talent!

Once Wenbaoqin receives the fourth injection of talent, the power of the war songs played will be doubled!

"The King of Whales should be talking about this Zhendan Qin, because it is not the work of a famous violinist, and the price is only 26,000 taels, but it needs to find a Jinshi who is about to die to inject his talent. Half of the Jiao King Dragon Horn is enough. After all, the Ten Kingdoms can recruit students in one year Many Jinshi can't produce a Jiaowang horn in a year. When I reach the first level of Qin Dao or become a Juren, I can use Jinshi Wenbaoqin to play war songs to make up for my shortcomings."

"Music such as pipa and guzheng can be changed into Wenbao Qin to play. Once the famous "Ambush from Flying Daggers", "Overlord Disarms" and "General's Order" are changed into war songs in later generations, their power will be extraordinary. "Ambush from Flying Daggers" "" and "The Overlord Disarms" are both famous songs, especially the former one, which is one of the top ten ancient songs. Both are based on the conflict between Chu and Han, but the protagonist of the former is Liu Bang, and the protagonist of the latter song is Xiang Yu. "

Fang Yun was stunned for a moment when he thought of this, and a very ridiculous idea came to his mind.

"The contents of "House of Flying Daggers" and "The King's Disarm" were ordinary wars in ancient China, but in the Holy Yuan Continent, the superficial history has not changed, but the actual history is that the saints who supported Chu and Han defeated the people behind the Qin Dynasty. The Holy Queen was divided, and the saints from the two camps of Chu and Han had a world-shattering battle. battle, and finally support Liu Bang's victory. If "Ambush from Flying Daggers" is inspired by talent, it is not Liu Bang and Xiang Yu's army, but a higher level of power, then... it will definitely be the first battle that far exceeds everything else. Qu! I can’t imagine it if it can cooperate with the number one killer.

Fang Yun shook his head, feeling that the possibility was a little small, and then reached out to take off the Zhendanqin.

This move immediately attracted everyone's attention. Several clerks came together. This valuable guqin was separated. Anyone who took it off without the store's permission would have to buy it.

Fang Yun held the Zhendan Qin in both hands and said to the waiter who came over: "Take me to see your shopkeeper."

"Yes." The man immediately took Fang away. Not long after, he saw a man in his fifties in a small room.

"This is our shopkeeper Ren. Shopkeeper Ren, this young man wants to be brave." Fang Yun said.

Shopkeeper Ren came over to greet him politely. After the two parties exchanged greetings, shopkeeper Ren asked: "Do you want to pay now, or do you want us to deliver it to your house?"

Fang Yun smiled and said, "No one would bring so much money when going shopping. Just send it to my house."

"Dare you ask the young master's name?" Shopkeeper Ren asked.

"Fang Yun." Fang Yun said.

Shopkeeper Ren and the waiter were shocked.

"That Fang Banxiang?"

"It should be me." Fang Yun admitted with a smile.

"Then, if you need it urgently, you can take it now and send someone to give the banknote to Wen Youxuan later."

"Aren't you afraid that I am a liar?"

"Is there anyone in Yuhai City who dares to pretend to be Fang Banxiang?" Shopkeeper Ren asked.

The two of them laughed together, and Fang Yun said: "Then wrap it up first and deliver it to my house tomorrow. I'm not in a hurry."

"Okay, don't worry, I will deliver it to your home personally tomorrow morning."

"Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Ren."

"You're welcome. You come to our Wenyouxuan and make this place flourish. We should be the ones saying thank you." Shopkeeper Ren said with a smile.

Fang Yun left, then found Yang Yuhuan, and returned to the venue of the piano meeting, looking for Hong Xiucai, but could not find him. After asking, he found out that Hong Xiucai had just sold the piano and left with four imperial treasures. .

Fang Yun stood there thinking for a while, then walked to the door with Yang Yuhuan and others, met with the others and returned home.

Along the way, Fang Yun kept stroking the fur, and Nunu was also very curious about the fur.

When he got home, Fang Yun carried Nunu into the study, then put the fur on the table and said, "Tell me, what exactly is this fur?"

Nunu shook her head, saying she really didn’t know.

Fang Yun couldn't help but think of the piece of wood flashing from the man's sleeve, and asked: "You also saw that the thing in his hand was very powerful. Let's make an analogy. You have also seen that lazy Wenzong. If he is so strong, Awesome, how powerful do you feel about that piece of wood?" After Fang Yun finished speaking, he pinched his thumb and index finger apart, leaving an inch of space.

Nunu thought for a moment, then stood upright, used his two front legs as arms, and spread them to both sides, and finally stretched his arms flat, indicating that he was much more powerful than Wenzong.

"I'm afraid it's one of those things, but I still can't guess what it is exactly."

After Fang Yun finished speaking, he stared at the black fur and the three drops of bright red but dried blood on it, feeling no power at all.

"Is it really related to the Holy Ruins?"

Nunu nodded subconsciously.
