Chapter 294: Not the Author, but the Porter
Shen He followed behind Xiang Ling and came over at this time.
She looked at Xianyun a little excitedly and said very seriously:
"Master, I never knew you could play the pipa..."
Xianyun once again displayed the temperament of a proud and arrogant fairy bird. She raised her head with a hint of pride:
"Huh, you don't know how many things there are."
Gu Chen sat there and couldn't help but praise him from the bottom of his heart:
"Shen He, not only you don't know, I also didn't know Xian Yun could do this.
In my impression, Xianyun studies mechanical engineering all day long, so she should be an engineering girl, right?
Who would have thought that he could also play the pipa?
And her pipa playing skills are quite good!
especially……"
As he said this, he looked at Xianyun with admiration:
"Your master's attire, her posture and demeanor, and her pipa, really complement each other perfectly!
It’s as if Xianyun should be good at playing the pipa.
It’s really unexpected, but it makes perfect sense.”
Gu Chen's comment can be said to have touched Xianyun's sore spot.
She was proud of it and a little arrogant:
"Hmph, Gu Chen, in your eyes, am I that kind of old-fashioned and heartless person? Shouldn't I learn some music and other things to cultivate my sentiments?
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the time when you are still here.
At that time, she and Aping were both good at music and were experts in it.
However, due to differences in their ideas, the two of them often argue and even quarrel.
Whenever they quarreled, they would ask the Emperor to come and judge.
After so many times, I got used to it, and inevitably... I picked up some musical interests."
When talking about the past, Xianyun was very excited at first, but later he became less interested and a little depressed.
Obviously, Xianyun thought of his old friend.
Beside her, Grandma Ping, who was stroking her zither, broke the gloomy atmosphere with a smile:
“That’s exactly what happened.
At that time, I was young, loved beauty, and loved to compete with others.
But later on, I understood.
The path to music is the same, and there's no need to compete with one another. Just find what suits you and give full play to your strengths. That's all that matters."
Grandma Ping's words diverted everyone's attention.
At this time, Xiangling couldn't help but look at Gu Chen curiously:
"By the way, Gu Chen, you just said that this piece of music was not composed by you, but by a master from your original world?"
Gu Chen nodded gently:
"Yes, that's what happened.
Haha, I don’t have the nerve to claim this song as my own and say it was written by me.
I am not the composer of the music, I am just the transporter of the music."
Scratching his head, Shen He agreed deeply:
“Mover…I think this description is very appropriate.
Gu Chen, in your original world, are there many such amazing songs and works?"
"of course!"
Gu Chen couldn't help but raise his voice, his expression was very serious:
"In my world, all kinds of literary and artistic works can be described as a hundred schools of thought contending and a hundred flowers blooming.
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about the author of this song “Tianlong Bayin”.
His most famous work is not "Eight Sounds of Heaven and Dragon", but "A Laugh in the Ocean"!
"The sea laughs?"
Hearing this name, Grandma Ping was thoughtful:
“It feels like a very grand and heroic song.”
"of course!"
Gu Chen patted his thigh and continued to praise:
"This author, or rather, this master, is a renowned talent among them. The various pieces he created are incredibly popular!"
At this point, Gu Chen spread his hands and said with self-mockery:
“I just can’t.
I can't say I know nothing about music, but it's definitely not something that's worthy of being mentioned in a formal setting.
Xiangling, Shenhe, you don’t know something.
As for the piece of Tianlong Bayin that you two masters just collaborated on, it was quite difficult for me to transfer it even though I was the one who moved it here.
Without the cooperation and collaboration between you two masters, I wouldn't be able to carry it all!"
These words were a little hard to understand, and Shen He and Xiang Ling were filled with questions.
Under their puzzled gazes, Gu Chen was not afraid of embarrassment, so
Then we talked about the cause and effect.
Actually it’s nothing.
As mentioned before, there are guests visiting Anranju today, and the two guests are Xianyun and Grandma Ping.
When Gu Chen opened the door and saw these two people, he was confused and surprised.
The puzzling point is that this time Xianyun did not descend from the sky in the form of a giant fairy bird and then transform into a human form to come to his house, but was actually visiting in human form from the beginning!
After seeing Grandma Ping beside Xianyun, he suddenly understood.
Xianyun must have found Grandma Ping first, and they both came together.
After all, this is Liyue Harbor, and it is not convenient for Xianyun to maintain the form of a giant fairy bird all the time, so when they arrived together, he was in human form like Grandma Ping.
After seeing that it was these two, Gu Chen of course welcomed them into his home.
After you come in, it is inevitable to ask about your purpose.
The purpose of these two immortals coming here is...
They both knew that Gu Chen was a traveler from another world.
They believed that there must be all kinds of music in the other world, and that the music and songs must be excellent.
The two immortals happened to be both music lovers, and today was a rare occasion for them to get together, so it was a good opportunity to talk about this matter.
So Xianyun and Grandma Ping hit it off and came to disturb Gu Chen today, hoping that Gu Chen could teach them using the music from his world.
After figuring out why the two of them came, Gu Chen felt extremely conflicted.
He wouldn't dare to give advice, and he definitely wouldn't dare to be stingy!
mainly……
Although he had heard many songs and music in his original world, and could hum them...
But it’s just humming!
You want him to reproduce the music from memory...
Kill him, he can't do it! He can't even read music!
Faced with Gu Chen's embarrassment, Grandma Ping was very tolerant.
She said that it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand the music score, as long as you can hum it.
Gu Chen could hum while she wrote it down on the music score, and thus the main body of the music score was completed.
As for the rest, Grandma Ping can rely on her own musical ability to complete the music score.
Hearing that this was possible, Gu Chen said embarrassedly that it was no problem.
So the three of them chose a suitable environment, right in this pavilion, with their backs against the bamboo forest and facing the pond, and began to compose music!
Oh, no, it’s music reproduction, or music transfer.
The process of reproducing and moving...is not smooth sailing.
After Gu Chen finished humming, Grandma Ping completed the music score with her own ability. After completing it, she played it again with her own pipa.
After listening to the first version, Gu Chen said that this was the song, but he felt that it was missing a lot of meaning, but he didn't know what was missing.
Fortunately, Grandma Ping also strives for perfection in this aspect.
Based on Gu Chen's feelings, vague memories, and this ambiguous meaning, she tried to reproduce and complete it as much as possible.
