Fairy and Demon Gods

Chapter 396: Rites, music, etiquette, humanity, and civilization.

Fuxi's expression brightened, and he became interested instantly, with a hint of excitement and joy flashing across his brows.

Before this, Le Dao had only his brother and sister to discuss and learn from each other, so they could only work behind closed doors, admiring their own talents and finding it difficult to find like-minded people.

Now that he finally had like-minded people with whom he could communicate and make progress, he was naturally full of hope and hurried to invite the old boy.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist~"

The old boy was forced into a corner and could only shake his head helplessly, unable to do anything.

Along the way, everyone communicated with each other. In fact, everyone had heard a little about each other's abilities, but they didn't want to wait here.

You have already eaten and listened to the music. If you try to refuse, you will seem reserved and unfamiliar, which is not the case.

He stood up and said, "Since that's the case, I'll show off my ugliness~"

After saying this, the old boy took out the [Tianyin Chime].

At this time, his temperament also changed drastically. He was no longer as carefree as a wild crane, but instead had a bit more solemnity and piety.

This time, even Nuwa became interested. She silently observed this thing (the Tianyin Chime) that she had never seen before.

An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.

As the old boy's movements and expressions changed, the brother and sister looked at each other and knew that the other was indeed quite capable. This time they might be in for a 'treat for their ears'.

The chime is an ancient stone percussion instrument, which represents the "stone" sound among the "eight sounds". It is the oldest stone percussion instrument and ritual vessel in Chinese history.

When they first saw the Tianyin Chime, Fuxi and Nuwa were amazed. At the same time, they were keenly aware of the difference. Many ideas, thoughts and inspirations flowed in their minds.

Before hearing the sound, I can already feel that it is extraordinary.

As the performance of the elder child unfolded and progressed, the two who had never seen this kind of percussion music were quickly fascinated. They were intoxicated, smiling, and immersed in it. The brother and sister are worthy of being the future ancestors of humanities and instrumental music masters. Their bodies also unconsciously swayed rhythmically with the sound of the chimes. While smiling, their expressions kept changing, as if they had different understandings and feelings.

The sound of the chimes was gorgeous, clear and melodious, with a wide range of overtones and majestic momentum. The whole audience was silent. Even the Kunpeng brothers and others who had heard it many times held their breath and looked at the old boy who was playing in the center of the stage.

These chimes play melodies in the order of the twelve musical scales, with each chime emitting a different timbre. The bass is deep and loud, the treble is clear, the timbre is beautiful and pleasant, the range is up to three octaves, and it can be transposed and modulated to play a variety of music. It was widely used in court music or grand ceremonies in later generations.

This is formal music, also known as elegant music.

As a carrier of rituals and music, "chimes" have enjoyed supreme dignity since ancient times. For example, the Zhou Dynasty, which lasted 800 years, relied on "rituals" and "music" to maintain itself. "Ritual" is the country's order and norms, and "music" is the social hierarchy, which must not be disturbed.

It is the leading instrument among the "eight sounds" of later generations. It is also called "bells and chimes" and the first of the "metal and stone" music, ranking above other instruments.

As an instrument of ritual music, it existed long before the chime bells and should be regarded as "the first instrument of music" and "the ancestor of ancient music". The places where stone chimes were unearthed (in ancient times) were regarded as countries of ritual and etiquette.

Since ancient times, "ritual and music" have represented the country, which also shows the lofty status of the chime in national ritual and music.

Closer to home.

Nothing happens more than three times. After playing three songs, Qi Tong put away his treasure, remained calm and composed, and remained indifferent.

Fuxi and his sister were immersed in shock and aftertaste. It took them a while to come back to their senses and hurriedly greeted Qi Tong.

Although everyone's styles are different, they all reach the same goal.

Fuxi sighed, "Today I know there are mountains beyond mountains. You have found your own unique path. You are truly a master of the joy of Taoism!"

The old boy hurriedly returned the greeting, "Brother Dao, you are too kind. Your Dao is not ordinary."

The two men praised each other's business and smiled at each other.
