Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 294: The Third Saint

In Qin Valley.

Feng Qingyan's voice turned into pale white words, floating between heaven and earth.

The valley is full of them.

At first glance, the pale white text looks like notes on a piano.

When the notes of the piano float around you, you can faintly hear the sound of the piano coming from the notes of the piano, which is extremely shocking.

At this moment, countless musicians looked at Feng Qingyan in shock, as if they had drunk ambrosia.

"To myself and others, it seems that I am not intentional. To myself and others, it seems that I am not intentional..."

The zither player was trembling all over as he chanted, and then gradually calmed down. Suddenly, a sound mist arose behind him, and he broke through from the ninth level to the eighth level.

“I actually broke through.”

When some students saw this, they were shocked.

Although there were hundreds or even thousands of people in Qin Valley, many of them were not Qin players, and they did not feel much about Feng Qingyan's words.

Therefore, some people cannot understand why Fengsheng can enable people to break through the realm just by saying a few words.

At this time, even Dayu Qinjun began to listen attentively and was quite surprised. He did not expect that the saint in the art of playing the zither would have such a profound understanding.

This is definitely not inferior to Qin Xiang, or even Qin Jun.

"As for the eight methods, one is lightness or heaviness."

Feng Qingyan sat cross-legged, still spitting out pale white words from his mouth, which turned into notes floating between heaven and earth.

"The composition of a piece of music, in addition to length, height and depth, is also expressed in terms of lightness and heaviness, as well as strength and weakness. If this cannot be accurately grasped, it will be detrimental to the expression of the piece of music. Only by properly using the lightness and heaviness can the music be subtle, with distinct rhymes and both form and spirit."

"The second is fast and slow."

"The use of speed and slowness must be based on the song itself and vary from song to song. It must not be done arbitrarily. Some songs cannot be fast, and some piano songs cannot be slow. Some parts of the song cannot be fast, and some parts cannot be slow. But some parts can be fast or slow. If the speed is wrong, it will not match the fingering and the meaning of the song. The player must carefully examine it and use it with caution."

"Three is square and circle."

"In a region, some people prefer square, while others prefer round. You should know that music can also be close to square or close to round. Some music can be square, and some can be round. The combination of square and round, and the use of changes, is the ingenious method of the zither, and is particularly exquisite in the zither."

"The use of square is to move the fingers of the left hand up and down between two notes lightly. The use of round is to move the fingers gently between two notes, and the beginning and end of the notes are transitioned without any trace."

"Square can make it clear, round can make it warm."

"To go too far is to fail, to be too stiff or too vague is to fail, and it must be done with great care."

"Four is hardness and softness."

"Hardness and softness are the unique features of the zither. In common practice, the right hand is more rigid when playing near the Yueshan Mountain and more soft when playing far away. Fast finger movement is more rigid, slow finger movement is more soft. Common practice is that strong notes are rigid and weak notes are soft, but the zither is not just like that. In the performance of the zither, weak notes can be rigid and strong notes can be soft."

"Five for light and dark."

"If it's too light, it can look dull and lifeless; if it's too strong, it can look sweet or pretentious, so use it with caution."

"Six is ​​light and dark."

"The bright should not be easily lost in thinness, and the dark should not be easily lost in turbidity. They must be distinguished."

"Seven is reality and illusion."

"If it is insufficient, it will be silent and ineffective; if it is excessive, it will become a solid sound and destroy the melody line of the left hand. You must practice more and use it with caution."

"The real sounds are varied and matched with the virtual sounds, and the opposites complement each other, which is a good state."

"Eight means discontinuous."

"The purpose of breaking is to use it properly, which has the effect of adding the finishing touch and setting off the moon."

In Qin Valley.

When Feng Qingyan finished talking about the "Three Rules and Eight Methods", sound mist appeared behind three more zither players. Some of them went from being children to the next level, some went from the eighth level to the seventh level, and some went from the ninth level to the eighth level.

The three people's breakthrough shocked the entire Qin Valley.

From the time when the canonization began, until now, four people have broken through. Not to mention the instructors of the Thirteenth Academy, even Dayu Qinjun was horrified, looking at Feng Qingyan in disbelief.

When a saint was canonized and enlightened, the Enlightenment Tree left behind can help people understand the holy music.

Sitting quietly on the Junzi Bridge can help you get a glimpse of the "tranquil and plain" breath, and Jiangshan will advance from the sixth rank to the fourth rank. Now in the "Three Sayings" of Qin Gu, when it comes to "getting the heart" and "handy", it has already helped the four people break through.

When the "three theories" were finished, I wonder how many people would break through?

Even the king of zither would find it difficult to do this.

At this moment, many people looked at Feng Qingyan in shock, horrified in their hearts. Feng Sheng was really too terrifying.

After the word “respond” was spoken, countless zither players could not wait to know the “finished music”.

Many of them had a vague feeling that as long as they finished listening to "Cheng Le", they might be able to break through.

This makes them extremely excited and they can't wait.

"May I ask, what is the meaning of canonization?"

The zither player asked with eyes full of longing.

“Once you have it in your heart and can respond to it with your hands, you will surely be able to express it as joy.”

Feng Qingyan smiled and said, the pale white words that came out of his mouth had already become clear notes of the zither, filling the entire Zither Valley with mysterious zither sounds, "The realm of perfect music lies in the two harmonies and the thirteen images."

"Excuse me, what is the two harmonies and what is the thirteen images in the canonization?"

There was music again.

“The two harmonies are harmony between man and zither, harmony between hand and string; the thirteen images are powerful, sudden, rapid, bright, brilliant, strange, broad, sharp, clear, light, harmonious, tranquil, and slow.”

“The harmony between man and zither is the harmony between man as body and zither as function, which blends harmoniously into a perfect state.”

"Hands and strings are in harmony, without hindrance or obstruction, without repetition or fear, and the music of the zither reaches its best end. Hands follow the heart, and play the strings calmly and swiftly. The strings follow the hands, and the sound follows the fingers. The fingering is in tune without thinking, and the string frets are harmonious without searching. The hand is like the soul of the string, and the string is like the shadow of the hand. Sincerity leads to the right method, and diligence leads to deep skills. When applied to the strings, the sound of metal and stone, the rhyme of poetry and prose, the subtle penetration into the hair, the grandeur of the mountains and seas, is achieved calmly and freely."

At this time, the notes uttered by Feng Qingyan fell all over the Qin Valley like snowflakes, and even floated outside the Qin Valley.

The rear hall of the academy.

An Xiu and Dong Lou Hui were also watching in amazement. They had never expected Qing Yan's lecture to be so astonishing, like the wonderful speeches of a saint, which amazed the two of them.

"The hero of the thirteen elephants is bearing, charm, and momentum."

"The suddenness of the thirteen images is the sudden change in the song, which is strong and fast, starting and stopping suddenly."

"The urgency of the Thirteen Symbols is the surging momentum and the warm and joyful feelings..."

"The brightness of the thirteen signs..."

Rumbling--

When Feng Qingyan finished talking about the Two Harmonies and the Thirteen Symbols, wisps of sound mist arose in the Qin Valley, making the Qin Valley look like a thick fog.

One breakthrough, two breakthroughs, three breakthroughs...

At this time, the great instructor was looking at it in shock. At first glance, he saw that eleven people had broken through. At second glance, he saw that thirty-seven people had broken through. At third glance, he saw that sixty-two people had broken through.

After a while, nearly a hundred people broke through.

Hundreds of people broke through at the same time!

This was unbelievable. Even Dayu Qinjun was stunned and wondered if he was dreaming. How could this be possible?

How can this be?

Countless students watched in shock, as if thousands of waves were rising in their hearts.

This is too shocking.
