Chapter 1643 Cutting the white snake, covering the skin like thunder, crying like a woman, with white hair and white head

Gu Xiaobai didn't know that Jiang Hailong, who traveled to the Ming Dynasty at the same time, had already found a piece of the best wood for himself, and he is still running around looking for a piece of good python skin.

Gu Xiaobai is determined to make a white erhu, but it does not necessarily require all materials to be white.

Sometimes paint can also improve the tone.

There are some materials, even if they are painted, it doesn't matter, but there is a material that is absolutely impossible to paint and paint white.

That is the vibrating membrane of the erhu, or the skin on the piano tube.

The vibrating membrane of the erhu is usually made of python skin.

White python skin is actually very rare, Gu Xiaobai asked everyone he could think of, but couldn't find it.

Just when Gu Xiaobai was thinking about whether to settle for the next best thing, just find a leather of another color and forget it.

Then he was called by Liu Che.

As soon as he saw Gu Xiaobai, Liu Che pointed at him and said, "You, Xiaobai, you want white python skin, but why did you forget me? Sigh..."

Gu Xiaobai was at a loss: "???"

Why do I want white python skin, so I have to come to you.

"Thanks to Xiaobai, you have learned a lot. Could it be that I am anxious, how did we get started?"

Gu Xiaobai was at a loss for another two seconds...

"I thought it was a legend!" Gu Xiaobai raised his hand.

How can we forget the legend of Han Gaozu beheading the white snake!
This story is not actually a legend, but it comes from "Historical Records: The Chronicles of Gaozu".

According to legend, when Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, was the head of the pavilion in Peixian County, he escorted a group of farmers for the county to repair the mausoleum in Lishan.Most of the people escaped along the way.Liu Bang simply let the others go. More than a dozen of these farmers were willing to follow Liu Bang, which was the foundation of Liu Bang's fortune.That day, Liu Bang happened to drink some wine and was walking in Fengxize while drunk. A farmer who was exploring the road ahead came back and said, "There is a big snake blocking the road ahead, let's go back."Taking advantage of the strength of the wine, Liu Bang said: "How dare a strong man do it!" Then he cut the big snake in two with a single sword.

After walking for several miles, I suddenly heard an old woman crying.

Liu Bang asked, "Why are you crying?"

The old lady said: "My son Bai Dizi also turned into a snake and became the Daoist. Now he is beheaded by the Red Emperor, so we cry."

My son is Baidizi, who turned into a big snake blocking the way, and was killed by Chidizi, so he is crying here.

Chidi is Yandi, that is, Shennong. The word Yanhuang descendants, Yandi is still in front of Huangdi, which shows the importance of his status.

And Baidi is Shaohao.

Later, some people called Liu Bang the Red Emperor.

This legend can be said to be an effective trick in ancient uprisings, deliberately mythifying itself to make the uprising more appealing.

Gu Xiaobai never expected that this story turned out to be true.

"Slaying the White Snake is true. As for whether he is the son of the Emperor... then I don't know." Liu Che smiled and said, "Come with me."

When Gu Xiaobai saw the piece of white python skin that Liu Che treasured so much, his eyes lit up.

This is a piece of white python skin, so white that there is no trace of variegation. Even after a hundred years, it is still smooth and dense. One flick, full of elasticity, only buzzing.

Next to him, Liu Che looked at the python skin in Gu Xiaobai's hand, and said, "Who would have thought that the beginning of my big man came from a big snake. Maybe it was really the emperor descended from heaven to save the world from troubled times. After so many years, I never I have never seen such a boa constrictor, maybe it is really the son of the White Emperor. For so many years, only my Great Han Emperor Gaozu has used some on his scabbard and yellow robe, and the rest are here, you can use them Bar."

Gu Xiaobai couldn't put it down, but he handed it back again, saying: "This piece of python skin is too expensive, I can't bear it."

"Why can't you bear it?" Liu Che waved his hand and said, "In the end, it's just a dead object, and it's useless if I keep it in my hands. Take it. Whether it's a musical instrument or a scabbard , do other things, just use it as you like.”

Gu Xiaobai pushed back a few more times, but couldn't, and walked out in a serious manner.

In the Dragon Palace on the Sea, in Gu Xiaobai's laboratory, Gu Xiaobai looked at all the materials in front of him, feeling quite mixed in his heart.

At this time, he has collected most of the materials. Although these materials are scattered in time and space for more than 2000 years, they can be manifested and used as reconstruction materials by borrowing "Luban's Toolbox".

But now, he has collected almost all the materials.

White Bamboo for Small Moths.

The ponytail of the night.

Han Gaozu chopped off the python skin of the white snake.

White jade of Tang Xuanzong.

Pei Min's five animal bones.

Flooded wood of the keel of a shipwreck in the Ming Dynasty.

When he first planned to collect materials, he just had a whim.

But now, looking at these materials, he suddenly felt that there was a heavy responsibility in his heart.

This huqin has lasted for 2700 years, and how many people have placed their expectations and trust in him.

And mourning (Zhao Ye: ah~ah~ah~~~~).

However, no matter how good the material is, it is only a good foundation. Whether an "epic" huqin can be made depends on Gu Xiaobai himself.

Next, Gu Xiaobai almost forgot to sleep and eat and was busy.

Covering snakeskin, peeling qin tube, bending qin bow, carving qin window, harp shaft...

I found two erhu strings and wrapped them, and then found a cotton thread, wrapped them around the erhu, bent the strings slightly, and pulled them towards the piano bar.

The bow is pulled lightly.

"嘤~~" sounded like an old woman sobbing, mourning to the bone.

Another slight shock, like the sound of wind and thunder, an iron horse glacier.

Gu Xiaobai's eyes lit up, what a piano!

Can be firm or soft, can sing and cry!
This piano is more than a grade better than the one he made before!
Wherever Gu Xiaobai was so excited, he came up with a piece of music at his fingertips, and the music was so exciting.

But gradually, Gu Xiaobai frowned again.

I always feel that there is something wrong with this erhu.

Gu Xiaobai's eyes fell on the jack.

The jack of the erhu is a bit like a piano bridge, and it plays the same role.

On the one hand, the strings are separated, and the strings can be pressed and kneaded on the top. On the other hand, the vibration of the strings is also transmitted to the piano bar for auxiliary vibration, which together constitute the timbre of the erhu.

But Gu Xiaobai felt that the material of this ordinary cotton thread did not match the whole erhu, which affected the sound quality.

Where can I find suitable materials?
At this moment, Gu Xiaobai suddenly heard the sound of a drum.

When he turned his head, he saw mist rising in the corner of the laboratory, and in the mist, the sound of drums was faint, distant and near.I can't hear clearly, and I can't really smell it.

"Uncle Blind, is that you?" Gu Xiaobai's eyes lit up when he heard the sound of the drum, and he looked around.

There was no Blind Uncle in the laboratory, Gu Xiaobai only felt his palms itch.

Gu Xiaobai lowered his head and found that there was a handful of white hairs in his hands.

The white hair was entangled with the rope and combed neatly.

Gu Xiaobai raised his head, the sound of the drum had gradually faded away.

Gu Xiaobai only felt his eyes flushed.

Uncle Blind, at the end of the long river of time, have you finally grown old with Fei Peng?
I once wanted to cut the blue hair for you, but now I'm old together.
