People are among the Eight Immortals, starting from Painted Skin Ghost

Chapter 142 Five tones and twelve rhythms;

is the day.

When the dawn was faint, Han Xiangzi and Ao Jiao said goodbye to Ye Qing, and then they drove up the clouds and rushed to Gushe Mountain.

Gushe Mountain, also known as Shikong Mountain, is located in Liangzhou.

The mountains are extremely dangerous, the gorge is secluded and the forest is dense.

According to legend, this mountain is the birthplace of Mrs. Yao's deer fairy.

There is a Taoist sage who said: "There are gods and men living in the mountain of Miao Gushe; the skin is like ice and snow, and the skin is like a virgin; it does not eat grains, but absorbs the wind and drinks dew; rides the clouds, rides the flying dragon, and swims beyond the four seas; Concentration of the mind makes things ripe without blemishes.”

This is probably the origin of Gushe Mountain.

Last night Ao Jiao was thinking about going to Mount Gushe, so she sent a letter to the Fenglei Shenli from the Wulei Academy of the Leibu, telling her that she would visit the Great Immortal Hongya to learn the way of music and flute.

Regarding the latter proposal, the official Feng Lei Shen would naturally not refuse.

He has also heard that this princess of the East China Sea is good at playing flute.

This time, she was going to Gushe Mountain to pay homage to Immortal Hongya, and the God of Wind and Thunder would naturally not stop her.

Not to mention that Han Xiangzi and Ao Jiao rushed to Gushe Mountain to worship the Great Immortal Hongya as their teacher and learn the way of Yin Xiao.

Let's talk about the general of water, thunder, lightning and light traveling from the Zhuhe River, non-stop all the way to the West Sea.

After meeting the Dragon King of the West Sea, he told him about Ao Yai's fault.

Knowing that Ao Yai had committed such a crime, Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, was terrified.

Many sons and grandsons of the dragon were also shocked when they heard the words.

Who would have thought that the silent Ao Yai would do such evil things?

Xihai was also implicated!

After General Shuilei Dianguang explained the matter, he asked Xihai Dragon King to make preparations.

In a few days, perhaps the Ministry of Lei has an edict to let him go to heaven to tell.

After all, the matter of Ao Yai can be big or small.

But the problems exposed by this cannot be ignored.

If it is not rectified, there will be big troubles in the future.

Regarding this, the Dragon King of the West Sea felt uneasy.

A few days later, the Ministry of Lei really sent a decree, asking him to go to the Ministry of Lei in the Heavenly Court.

Said that the Ministry of Lei, after taking Ao Yai into Lei Prison, was interrogated by several ministers of Yu Shu Yuan, and reported to Lord Lei of Yu Shu Yuan, and finally sentenced Ao Yai to death.

The other Ministers of the Water Mansion who colluded with Ao Yai were also unable to escape severe punishment, and were sentenced to death one after another.

As for the Dragon King of the West Sea going to heaven, he was reprimanded by several great emperors of the Leibu without accident.

It's okay to say that he disciplines, but the employment is unknown.

Something bad happened.

In the end, he ordered the Dragon King of the West Sea to seize the time to rectify such unhealthy tendencies.

After that, every ten years, the Ministry of Lei will send people to the four seas and the big rivers and lakes in the world to inspect this matter.

It can also be regarded as a wake-up call to the gods of Leibu.

Regarding these, the Dragon King of the West Sea dared not refute, so he had to obediently admit his mistake.

I'm afraid that after this incident, Xihai won't have a good reputation in Leibu.

the other side.

In less than ten months, the news about Ao Yai in Xihai being taken to the Dragon Terrace spread among the people of the world, including the God of Longbo River.

As for the Donghai, Beihai, and Nanhai families, they had already learned about it almost on the day Ao Yai was convicted.

Many people think that the Dragon King of the West Sea is confused, Ao Yai is a good talent, instead of cultivating, he is sent to the Tuojiang River instead.

Now, when disasters happen, you can't blame others.

……

The world, Liangzhou.

Gu shot in the mountains.

There is a Nanxian Cave, where Immortal Hongya lived after he came down to earth.

Gushe Mountain is said to be a deer fairy, and many Taoist sages have praised it very much.

It also makes the mountain famous.

Although it is not as good as those caves in the world, it is not much better than the ordinary blessed land.

Throughout the dynasties, there were literati, poets and hermits who lingered in it.

"Great Immortal, there are a few more scholars here at the foot of the mountain..."

I saw this big mottled tiger lying at the entrance of the Nanxian Cave. This tiger is about a foot long, with white eyes and white forehead, and a bloody mouth. It looks very ferocious.

At this moment, it probably heard the sound, and suddenly stood up, its eyes were like flames, and looked into the distance.

Not long after, the tiger spit out human words into the cave.

"Don't worry about it, let's get out of the miasma first."

The person who speaks is an old man.

This old man wore a hemp gown and a black hat. Although his head was full of white hair, he had a clear and hale look, with sparse eyebrows and a kind complexion, revealing a little dusty air on his body.

"What happened to the immortal families in Beixian Cave?"

Not long after, the old man paused, he seemed to have remembered something, and asked the tiger.

"It's been almost five months, and I haven't seen anyone who can compose a fairy song with three tones and nine rhythms."

Tiger replied.

"In another ten months, if there is still no fairy family to make up, you can send a message for me to send these people away, so as not to disturb people's cleanliness."

"Yes, Daxian."

The tiger lowered its head as if nodding.

The Great Immortal mentioned by the tiger was none other than Immortal Hongya, the second-rank righteous god of the Heavenly Court.

During the time he was in Gushe Mountain, some immortals heard that they came here one after another and wanted to pay a visit.

But Immortal Hongya doesn't want everyone to see him.

So in the valley opposite Nanxian Cave, a cave was opened, with a barrier inside and three levels of checkpoints.

The first layer is to recognize the sound and distinguish the rhythm;
The second floor is composed of colorful flutes;

The third floor is a splendid movement.

These days, most of the fairy houses are folded on the second floor.

A small part has not passed the first level.

As for the last level, no one has tried it yet.

As for ordinary people?
First there is the level of miasma, then there is the level of xinxing, and finally there is the level of asking.

If he can pass the level of xinxing, Immortal Hong Ya will probably give him some music books and music theories.

As for those who have the ability to ask questions, they will be accepted as boys.

When the cultivation level is enough, try the above three levels again.

As for the fierce tiger, it was a tiger that Immortal Hongya had enlightened after he came to Gushe Mountain to help him.

"Great Immortal, there are auspicious clouds flying over from the sky, and it is likely that another immortal family will come."

The tiger just lowered his head, and was about to raise his head, when he suddenly saw the divine splendor flowing above the sky in the distance. Judging by his posture, he was heading straight for Gushe Mountain.

The words fall.

Great Immortal Hong Ya thought about it and looked over.

It didn't matter what he looked at, but a group of people and a dragon girl rushed to his Gushe mountain.

"interesting……"

Seeing this situation, Immortal Hong Ya smiled gracefully.

Over the years, although there are many immortals, beasts and spirits who have sought him as apprentices.

But this is the first time he has seen the Dragon genus of the scale armor.

Of course, if these were the case, it would not be enough to make Great Immortal Hong Ya interested.

More importantly, he could see that the dragon girl was clearly a member of the fairy family. As for the Taoist, he just burned human flowers, and his realm was much lower than that of the dragon girl.

The two came together, even Immortal Hong Ya couldn't figure it out for a while.

"Would you like to see Daxian in person?"

Seeing this, the tiger asked a question.

"No need, you just stop it."

Great Immortal Hong Ya waved his hand.

Having said that, the tiger hesitated a bit:

"Great Immortal, that Taoist looks like he hasn't become an immortal yet, should we throw him into the Beixian Cave?"

"Since he is about to become a real person, he is no longer a mortal. Throw him into the North Immortal Cave. If he can pass the test of recognizing the sound and distinguishing the rhythm, and know the matter with this immortal, after studying it, how about this Taoist?"

Great Immortal Hong Ya thought for a while and ordered.

After finishing speaking, he ignored it and went straight to the depths of the Nanxian Cave to meditate.

With Daxian Hongya's confession, the tiger also knows how to act properly.

Seeing that the two had arrived at the boundary of Gushe Mountain, the tiger suddenly opened its mouth wide and let out a deafening tiger roar.

In an instant, the whole mountain shook, and the sound of cracking gold and stones came out from the void, which made people's eardrums shake.

Han Xiangzi and Ao Jiao came to this mountain and were about to press down on the cloud, when they heard the roar of the tiger and felt dizzy.

Immediately afterwards, a huge tiger claw slapped from the air, and with just one blow, it drove Han Xiangzi and Ao Jiao straight into the Beixian Cave in Gushe Mountain.

"This……"

"What's going on, Gushe Mountain has such a god tiger, it's amazing!"

Han Xiangzi and Ao Jiao fell into the Beixian Cave together, and when he came back to his senses, he remembered seeing the tiger's claw before, and couldn't help but tremble and was greatly shocked.

Hearing this, Ao Jiaodai frowned slightly, thinking:
"No, that big tiger's cultivation should not be as good as mine. The tiger roared and roared at Jiang Zhenyue earlier. I think he knows a little bit about it."

"Could it be that it was the order of Immortal Hongya?"

Hearing this, Han Xiangzi looked strange.

Just when the two were wondering, there was a dull voice in the cave:

"I am the Great Immortal Monarch of Hongya. The two of you came to Gushe Mountain probably to visit my Great Immortal."

"Right now, you only need to pass through the three passes of Beixian to see it."

"But you only have half a year at most. If within half a year, you haven't even broken the first test, you should leave as soon as possible."

But the tiger stood outside the South Fairy Cave, looking at the two people in the North Fairy Cave, and said.

The voice fell.

Han Xiangzi and Ao Jiao looked at each other, and asked with a smile:
"Princess, what do you think of Daxian's move?"

Ao Jiao blinked her beautiful eyes and said:

"Naturally, the big waves wash away the sand."

"I vaguely noticed other fairy secrets in this cave, and I think there are other fairy families breaking through here."

Knowing that there are other fairy families here, Han Xiangzi sighed:

"It seems that it's not easy to meet the Great Immortal, you and I have to work hard."

After Han Xiangzi finished speaking, he groped around in the cave.

After waiting for a while, he found nothing.

Suddenly, Han Xiangzi was startled.

He suddenly remembered that he had finished speaking earlier, and it had been a long time since Ao Jiao replied.

This is not her vivacious temperament.

While thinking about it, Han Xiangzi turned around to look, and was stunned. I don't know when that Ao Jiao disappeared out of thin air?
"Little Taoist priest?"

"Little Taoist, where are you?"

"Han Xiangzi?"

the other side.

Ao Jiao was also calling for Han Xiangzi, but after waiting for a few breaths, he didn't respond, and Ao Jiao's pretty face sank, sensing something was wrong.

The next moment, he called him by his first name.

But still no reaction.

Looking around, Ao Jiao realized that she seemed to be in a barrier.

……

"This is?"

At that time, the scenery around Han Xiangzi changed, and he found himself born in a study.

There are some simple and fragmented objects in front of him.

There are hexagonal fans painted with cloud patterns, and bamboo hats shaped like hanging clouds and fluttering wings.

In addition, there are square wooden lamp wicks, Erxuan books, Qiongzhu sticks and so on.

It is actually a rare thing in the weekdays.

"Little Taoist priest, the first hurdle is to distinguish the sound and recognize the rhythm; if you distinguish the rhythm and geometry from it, you have broken this hurdle."

Not long after, the tiger's voice sounded again.

Hearing this, Han Xiangzi looked bewildered. He looked at the hexagonal fan in front of him, hanging from the clouds, and murmured:

"Acquaintance of sound and law?"

"How to argue..."

Han Xiangzi was already pondering in his heart.

Nowadays, the method of syllable scales is nothing more than the five-tone twelve-temperament.

Is it possible to rely on these objects to identify how many tones and rhythms can be created?
same.

At this moment, Ao Jiao also has the same items beside him: Baiteng Li, Longevity Ladle, Weihui Pot, Buzhu Pour, Changying Pot...

Seeing these, Ao Jiao felt both novelty and confusion.

Don't know how to distinguish sound and recognize law?
The two stayed in Beixian Cave for a day, but they didn't have the slightest clue.

For a while, I couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive.

At this time, Han Xiangzi understood why Fairy Yuexuan said that Great Immortal Hongya had never accepted an apprentice for thousands of years.

Of the three hurdles set up here, the first hurdle probably won't know how many people got stuck.

Not to mention that the next level will be more difficult than the first.

In the blink of an eye, the two stayed in Beixian Cave for three days.

During this period, Han Xiangzi was not idle, he let those objects make their own sounds all the time.

But so far Han Xiangzi only recognizes the two tones.

Relying on his intuition, Han Xiangzi felt that the first level of identifying the sound and knowing the law would not be so simple.

There must be other temperaments.

While thinking about it, Han Xiangzi opened his mind. He used the art of summoning the wind, passing through the hall, and got the three rhythms again.

In addition, water is poured into fire to get four laws.

It adds up to two tones and eight rhythms.

For this answer, Han Xiangzi was not sure.

Just keep trying.

On Ao Jiao's side, he also distinguished the three tones and seven rhythms.

But she didn't dare to speak rashly to confirm with Tiger.

Ever since, he buried himself in making "sound".

One day, when Han Xiangzi was playing with the negative hexagonal fan and the hanging cloud hat, the corners of his mouth twitched unexpectedly. At this moment, he suddenly felt a flash of enlightenment in his heart.

at the same time.

A thought emerged for no reason, and it could no longer be suppressed.

He knows the answer!

Although this answer is a bit absurd, Han Xiangzi still firmly believes that he is right.

With this in mind, he exclaimed:
"Tiger, this first hurdle, the poor way can be broken."

The tiger resting on the mountain heard Han Xiangzi's call, opened its tiger eyes, and said:
"Say your answer."

"Five tones and twelve rhythms."

Han Xiangzi blurted out.

For a long time, Han Xiangzi fell into a misunderstanding.

That's Debate!
He focuses too much on "discrimination" and "knowledge".

I have always wanted to rely on the pentameter and twelve rhythms.

He even racked his brains to come up with those temperaments, in order to reach the number of the five-tone twelve temperaments.

Forget the original, among the music theory and temperament handed down from generation to generation, there are five tones and twelve temperaments!

Because whether it is "discrimination" or "knowledge", it depends entirely on the person.

Calling all things by mouth, you can get thousands of sounds, all of which belong to the five tones and twelve rhythms.

Therefore, the real answer is the five tones and twelve rhythms.

The so-called identification of sounds and laws is just a trap.

Whether it's a negative hexagonal fan, a hanging cloud hat, a square wooden lamp, or Erxuanshu, Mu Ruyi, Qiongzhuzhang, longevity ladle, Weihui pot, it's all about temptation.

Jump out, you can understand all the truth.

After saying that, the tiger's pupils trembled suddenly, and he lowered his head to count the time, only to realize that it was only five days since Han Xiangzi came to Beixian Cave!

"You... you guessed it so quickly?!"

The tiger is a little unbelievable.

You know, those immortals usually take at least ten months to do it.

But Han Xiangzi only needs five days!
This is too incredible.

You know, he hasn't become a fairy yet!
