Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 102: Ghosts in the Dark (Please Recommend)
Feng Qingyan was not used to living in Jiaziyuan. It was too big and gave people a cold and empty feeling. However, he still liked Jiaziyuan very much...

Today is the ten-day holiday, so he doesn't have to go to the lecture hall. He stays in Jiaziyuan, waiting for Master Qin's arrival.

The academy had a break every ten days, that is, after every nine days of classes, there was one day off.

Feng Qingyan naturally guessed something about Gongzi Qin's invitation.

Although Feng Qingyan is a world-famous gentleman who is one of the three most famous people in the world, he is still inferior to the number one zither master, Gongzi Qin.

Logically speaking, given Zi Yaqin's arrogance, it would be impossible for her to send a visiting card.

But now, Zi Yaqin was able to humble herself, contain her arrogance, and visit in person to say that she had something to ask for.

And apart from the matter of his deceased wife, what else could make Zi Yaqin bow his head?
Before the hour of Si (nine o'clock), Zi Yaqin's ox cart arrived outside the gate of Jiazi Courtyard. When Feng Qingyan heard the report from Chen Niu, who was temporarily serving as the gatekeeper, he straightened his clothes, hurried out of the gate and greeted her in person.

The length and width of Zangshan Academy is nine miles, so it is impossible that there is only one gate.

In addition to the main gate of the academy, there are also the East Gate, West Gate, and North Gate. Because the north side of the academy is where teachers and students live, there are three gates, namely the Northeast Gate, North Gate, and Northwest Gate.

Zi Yaqin came from the northwest gate.

"Your presence brings honor to my humble abode."

Feng Qingyan bowed and smiled.

"You are so polite." Zi Yaqin returned the greeting.

"Master, please."

Feng Qingyan gestured and walked into the gate first.

The two of them knelt facing each other in the main hall.

As there were no servants in the courtyard, Feng Qingyan had to ask Chen Niu, who was both the driver and the doorman, to serve wine and tea temporarily.

Zi Yaqin didn't come here for drinking and tea, so naturally she wouldn't mind Chen Niu's rough hands and feet. After Chen Niu left, she said, "A gentleman spent nine days thinking hard, nine days losing his hearing, and nine days listening, and finally made the long-lost sacred music come back to the world. It's really a great achievement. Qin, I admire you and I'll toast you a glass."

After Zi Yaqin finished speaking, she picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"You are overpraising me, sir. It was just luck."

Feng Qingyan shook his head and replied, "If you ask me to listen again, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."

"Can't listen?"

Zi Yaqin froze for a moment, and asked quickly, "Have you comprehended it, sir?"

"Nothing."

Feng Qingyan Road.

when--

Zi Yaqin dropped the wine glass in her hand and was stunned.

The only person in this world who could possibly attain enlightenment said that he had not. This made Zi Yaqin very sad and unable to accept it.

After a moment, Zi Yaqin came back to her senses, said "Excuse me", and quickly put away the wine glasses. Then she asked expectantly, "Sir, can you please play the sacred song again?"

"Hard to say."

Feng Qingyan shook his head. He himself didn't know.

Zi Yaqin suddenly collapsed, as if she had lost her soul.

"Although I haven't comprehended the sacred song, I remember a passage..." Feng Qingyan said after pondering for a moment when he saw Zi Yaqin like this.

"Zi Yaqin, I beg you to play the sacred music to call back the soul of my wife."

Before Feng Qingyan could finish speaking, Zi Yaqin got up, knelt in front of Feng Qingyan, bowed respectfully and begged.

"Sir, please get up. I can't do that."

Feng Qingyan was shocked by Zi Yaqin's actions, and quickly took two steps forward to help Zi Yaqin up.

"Zi Yaqin, I beg you to play the sacred music to call back the soul of my wife."

Zi Yaqin bowed respectfully again and pleaded.

"Sir, I have been thinking hard for nine days, losing my hearing for nine days, and listening for nine days. In fact, this is to repay you for giving me the zither." Feng Qingyan said hurriedly, "Besides, the love between you and your deceased wife also touched Qingyan deeply. How could I not want to lend a helping hand to you?"

"Qin, thank you, sir."

Zi Yaqin bowed again.

"However, I only remember one part, I don't know..." At this time, Feng Qingyan frowned, worried that he would not be able to exert the power of summoning spirits.

"Please give it a try. Whether it succeeds or not, Qin, I will be very grateful." Zi Yaqin said, his eyes full of hope, as if he saw his deceased wife waking up.

"It's not appropriate for me to play the piano at this time. I'm afraid it will take ten days before I can play it again." Feng Qingyan thought for a while and said, he hasn't recovered yet, and his energy and spirit are still lost.

"That's right. I've been waiting for ten years. There's no need to rush. I hope you can take good care of yourself." Zi Yaqin quickly calmed down and said after a moment of hesitation, "Since you remember a passage, can you write it down?"

"The summoning of spirits cannot be recorded in words or expressed verbally. I am afraid that I will disappoint you, young master."

Feng Qingyan shook his head.

Zi Yaqin was a little disappointed, but it was already within his expectations.

Because the lost sacred songs are like this, they cannot be recorded in words or spoken, otherwise they would not be lost...

When Zi Yaqin said goodbye, she saw that there was no one serving Feng Qingyan, so she left two maids behind, but Feng Qingyan sent them back.

Afterwards, Zi Yaqin sent many more gifts, most of which were health supplements.

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.

Feng Qingyan bathed and changed his clothes early, and sat in the study to meditate. After meditating for more than half an hour, he came to Baihua Valley carrying the sixth-grade zither.

At this time, countless people had already gathered at the entrance of the valley. When they heard that Feng Sanding was playing the music to summon the soul of Gongzi Qin's deceased wife, they came to watch out of curiosity. Even the instructors of the academy came.

"Meet the gentleman."

"Senior brother."

Under the cover of night, everyone made way and greeted each other.

Feng Qingyan nodded.

At this time, Zi Yaqin was already waiting at the entrance of the valley. When she saw Feng Qingyan approaching, she hurried forward and bowed, saying, "Please come in, sir."

Feng Qingyan returned the gift and walked into the Hundred Flowers Valley.

The two of them walked all the way to the depths of Baihua Valley and stopped in front of an ice coffin in a bush.

The ice coffin is made of thousand-year-old black ice. Even under the scorching sun or fierce fire, it is difficult to melt, and can protect the person in the coffin from decaying for a thousand years...

Feng Qingyan stared at the person in the ice coffin and saw that the young woman was as beautiful as a flower, as if she was asleep. After a moment, he asked, "What is the name of your wife?"

"Bai You."

Zi Yaqin said.

Feng Qingyan pondered for a moment, then came to the piano stand that had already been prepared and placed the six-fret piano on it.

He sat quietly for another half an hour and then began to play.

clank--

At first, the sound of the piano was normal, but gradually it became strange and exuded a mysterious atmosphere.

As Zi Yaqin was memorizing and worrying, she noticed that the darkness around her became a little different, it seemed darker and colder.

But the summoning of spirits only lasts for a short time, and he is very worried that he will not be able to awaken the spirit of his deceased wife...

One section has nine sections, and one section has nine notes.

Soon, a section of summoning souls was finished, and Feng Qingyan continued to play it again and again, which exhausted his energy and made his forehead covered with sweat.

His face gradually turned pale.

At some point, the scene in front of his eyes changed and became extremely dark, as if it had turned into a road leading to the depths of the unknown.

The depths are dark and cold, filled with resentment.

This is?

Feng Qingyan was surprised and stared at the cold and dark "road".

Gradually, he saw that at the end of the dark "road" was a strange and mysterious place, where ghosts of the dead could be seen wandering...

Is this the legendary underworld?
