Chapter 360: Twenty-four Bridges on a Moonlit Night
After Li Shiwen took Qin Ran to be a playboy (correction: street kid) for a few days, he went to work in the palace. Kieran became the homebody again, just staying at home and reading all day long.
However, as Li Shiyin thought, he became a frequent visitor to her father's study.
On this day, Qin Ran was reading a book and thinking in his mind:
The war between Beichu and Xuanqin has come to an end. The peace negotiation between the two countries was successful, and Northern Chu was about to surrender to Xuan Qin. According to Li Shiwen, the army that Xuan Qin pulled out from Beichu had already gone north to Dayan...
Silly Disciple's family members have also met, and Li Zhan and Yang Yanqi have no objections to the relationship between him and Silly Disciple. How they develop in the future depends on their own destiny.
So...he thought it was time to go back to Daojianmen.
The crisis here is over, but the crisis on the Dao Jianmen side is still brewing.
Although after he took over the Palm Medicine Hall, the supply of elixirs from Daojian Sect became normal. But the elixir was still purchased from Zhishen Valley, and Daojian Sect itself still did not have the ability to refine the elixir.
Although he has tried to cultivate Daojian Sect's own alchemists in the past two years, his training is only a drop in the bucket, and it is far from enough for the entire sect's supply of elixirs.
If he is given time to develop slowly, and there are a few more alchemists and spiritual planters a year, it will only take a hundred or two hundred years before the Dao Sword Sect can achieve the freedom of elixirs.
However, Zhishengu and the Infinite Sword Sect would definitely not give him such a talented person time, and would not let the Dao Sword Sect develop.
I just don’t know where the next wave of attacks will come from. internal? external? Or just turn your back and stop supplying the elixir? Even... attack by force regardless of the cost?
Qin Ran was thinking about these things while reading the book.
"Squeak!"
At this time, the door of the study room was gently pushed open from the outside. He looked over and saw that Li Shiyin came in from the outside quietly.
"Master?" She looked at him.
"Huh?" Qin Ran asked with raised eyebrows.
The silly disciple has indeed changed a lot, at least he has become a lot gentler. In the past, when she opened the door, the only sounds she heard were "bang", "bang" and "click". It was rare that she would open and close the door softly.
"Don't you like playing the flute?" Li Shiyin opened the door and walked in. She stood at the door of the study with her hands behind her back. The bright light outside shines on her, she looks like a young and beautiful girl.
"It's okay..." Qin Ran replied. He looked at his well-behaved and beautiful apprentice and wondered what she meant.
In fact, at that time, he just wanted to learn an instrument, and then he felt that the flute suited his temperament of cultivating immortality, so he learned the flute. He didn't say that he really liked the flute.
But after studying blindly for three or four years, he can still play some tunes.
"Master, do you still remember that there was a very powerful musician in Danyang City named Gao Yuanshan?" Li Shiyin said, a little embarrassed, and turned her gaze away to look outside.
"Gaoyuan Mountain?" Qin Ran pondered.
Li Shiwen told him a few days ago that Gao Yuanshan was a musician at that spring outing poetry party. Of course, what he remembers more clearly is that when he first started learning the flute, Li Shiyin mentioned this person to him, saying that he was handsome and that she failed to steal the bride.
"I have an impression, what's wrong?" he asked.
"Didn't I say that I want him to teach you how to play the flute?" Li Shiyin said.
"Huh?" Seeing the embarrassed look on his silly disciple's face, Qin Ran gradually realized that something was not going right. If he remembered correctly, what the silly apprentice said back then was that he wanted to tie Gao Yuanshan and teach him how to play the flute.
...Tie him up!
"Ahem!" Li Shiyin lowered her head, held the broken hair around her ears, and whispered, "Master, I'll tie him up... No, no, no, please come home."
"???"
he! At once! Know! road! !
It is said that the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change!
His stupid apprentice couldn't be that gentle.
Qin Ran took a deep breath, closed the book, stood up, and asked Li Shiyin, "Where is he?"
"In the living room..." Li Shiyin raised her head to look at the master. Seeing the seriousness in his eyes, she hurriedly lowered her head and said, "I asked my servant to receive him as a distinguished guest."
"Alas..." Qin Ran looked helpless and wanted to curse, but in the end he just said, "Take me and have a look."
"Hey!" Li Shiyin ran over, hugged Kieran's hand, and led him to the living room.
When he arrived at the living room, Qin Ran saw the man in a brocade robe with a white round collar and gold trim sitting inside. He was about thirty-five years old, with tied hair and a light beard. He did have an extremely beautiful face. Coupled with his own gentle temperament and the calm demeanor of a middle-aged man, he can really be called a girl's killer.
Looking at his face, one can imagine how handsome Gao Yuanshan would have been four years ago when he was just thirty years old... No wonder he would attract stupid disciples to try to steal someone else's hand.
"Master Gao Le!" Qin Ran entered the room, cupped his fists and apologized to Gao Yuanshan, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I really can't help you!"
Gao Yuanshan was drinking tea. Hearing this, he put the lid on the tea and turned around to see the elegant Qin Ran in blue and the weird elf (crossed out) Li Shiyin.
When he saw Li Shiyin, his eyes were obviously flustered and evasive, but Kieran's temperament made him feel friendly, and he smiled back and said, "No problem, no problem. I'm actually fine, it's the Sword Immortal who is joking with me."
"I am a scoundrel and rude, so I have offended many people." Qin Ran walked to the opposite side of Gaoyuan Mountain and sat down before saying again.
"Haha..." Gao Yuanshan laughed twice, looked at Li Shiyin who was standing behind Qin Ran, and asked aloud, "Sword Immortal told me that her master is proficient in the rhythmic bamboo flute and specially invited me to come and communicate. Dare I ask if the Immortal Master is the Master of the Sword Immortal?"
"I am her master..." Qin Ran nodded, but then shook his head and said, "I like music and can play the flute, but I am far from proficient."
"It turns out that immortals also hear the sound of music!" Gao Yuanshan smiled and sighed, "I know that you all pursue immortality and combat power and don't care about these sideshow acrobatics."
"In fact, immortals are also human beings. Music, dance, and food can move people's hearts, and naturally they can also attract the hearts of monks." Qin Ran replied, "And...music and dance are not side doors, but grand avenues. The so-called music moves people's hearts, and The heart is the Tao.”
Gao Yuanshan's eyes lit up and he asked, "Is it true that there are people who enter Taoism through happiness?"
"Of course..." Qin Ran nodded, "Monks who enter the Tao through music are far stronger than ordinary monks. First, the sound waves themselves have extremely strong destructive power, and second, the sound of music can affect the Taoist heart and state of mind of the monks. , soul, soul, very powerful.”
"Master Immortal..." Gao Yuanshan and Qin Ran asked, "Can I practice?"
"If you have spiritual roots, you can naturally practice." Qin Ran replied.
"Do I have spiritual roots?" Gao Yuanshan asked again.
Qin Ran used his pupil technique, looked at Gao Yuanshan up and down, and said: "Mr. Gao is quite spiritual, so he naturally has spiritual roots."
"Master Immortal, are you willing to accept me as your disciple?" Gao Yuanshan immediately fell to the ground.
"???" Li Shiyin opened her eyes wide. This plot is going in the wrong direction. Why are you here to steal the master from her? !
She quickly stepped forward, pulled Gao Yuanshan up from the ground, and said with a sullen face: "I am my master's closed disciple, and my master will no longer accept disciples!"
"Ah?" Gao Yuanshan's face was filled with disappointment.
"Besides, I asked you to teach my master how to play the flute, not to learn how to practice from my master." Li Shiyin said again.
"Alas!" Gao Yuanshan sighed and said to Qin Ran, "Master Immortal, let's talk about music!"
Li Shiyin's behavior made Qin Ran feel funny. He looked at the stupid apprentice walking back angrily and glared at her angrily.
He smiled and said to Gao Yuanshan: "The bad disciple invited you to communicate. To communicate, you teach me how to play the flute, the music and the musical instrument; I teach you the essence and principles of practice. This is also communication.
"From now on, I can cultivate your sentiments with one tune, and you can enter Taoism and practice according to the tune."
Gao Yuanshan was very happy and said repeatedly: "Okay! Communication, this is communication. Good! Very good. Hahaha..."
Li Shiyin saw her master glaring at her, and she wrinkled her nose to express her dissatisfaction with Gao Yuanshan.
"Don't you like him very much?" Qin Ran smiled and quietly communicated with Li Shiyin's spiritual consciousness.
"No way..." Li Shiyin blushed as she remembered the stupid things she did when she was young, and replied via Chuanyin, "I only like the master."
Qin Ran was very happy... It seemed that he was more handsome than Gao Yuanshan.
"The flute is actually easy to understand but difficult to master. There are many things worth noting in it..." Gao Yuanshan didn't know about the exchange between master and apprentice, but he talked about the flute with Qin Ran seriously, "You are the immortal Gao Humans have some advantages over mortals like us, it must be, you don’t need to be careful about your breath..."
Gao Yuanshan did have great attainments in music and flute. Under his guidance, the flute sound played by Qin Ran gradually became no longer unpleasant, and gradually regained the original melodiousness of the flute. Gradually, he became proficient in the flute.
Of course, under Qin Ran's guidance, Gao Yuanshan also began to use music to nourish and sense Qi, which can be regarded as embarking on an alternative path of cultivation.
As for how many years later, Gao Yuanshan entered Taoism through music and became a famous soul immortal master in the Xian Qin Empire, that is another story.
