step on mountains and rivers

Li Chengfeng rested in Shuxiang Tower for a night. When he got up early to practice, he saw Li Zhenwu and Tang Qingfeng walking towards his residence, so he called them to stop:

"Zhenwu, why are you and the children of the Tang family looking for a teacher?"

When they heard Li Chengfeng's voice and saw him practicing on the roof, they jumped up.

Coming closer, Tang Qingfeng said to Li Chengfeng:

"Uncle, the Jiangnan tea shop has a new tea, and Zhenwu and I want to take you to taste it. I wonder if uncle is free?"

"How about tea, okay, wait a moment." Li Chengfeng said and jumped off the roof.

The two waited outside the house, and Li Chengfeng came out after a while. He looked at the two and said:

"Let's go."

"En." After the two returned, they walked out with Li Chengfeng.

Not long after the three of them left, they came to Jiangnan Tea Shop.

Seeing Tang Qingfeng coming, the owner of the tea shop led the three of them to the private room on the second floor and made them the best new tea.

Li Chengfeng drank the tea in satisfaction, and looked at the situation in the tea shop in a happy mood.

The tea shop is very large and built in an open style.The inner hall of the tea shop is very spacious and elegantly furnished.

Dozens of exquisite mahogany tea tables are placed in a circle in the hall. Various famous calligraphy and paintings are hung beside the tea tables. In the center of the tea table is a unique round table with landscape scenery. Made of century-old paulownia wood, the body of the piano is in the style of Lingji, the whole body is vermilion, supplemented by black broken lines, luxurious and elegant.

It was still early at this time, and there were not many guests coming to drink tea. Li Chengfeng took a sip of tea, glanced at Guqin, and said to Tang Qingfeng:

"Children of the Tang family, isn't that Qin the Guqin Dayou?"

"Well, master has good eyesight, and that piano is Dayou." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Oh? I heard that this Qin was lost during the Qin Dynasty. How did you find it?" Li Chengfeng asked.

"Back to Uncle, it was a gift from a friend." Tang Qingfeng said.

"I see. It seems that your friend is quite powerful. It is said that this Qin was made by the Fuxi family in ancient times, and was the favorite of the first emperor Yingzheng. Later, King Xiang defeated Qin and burned the Qin Palace, and this Qin was lost. , I didn’t expect to see it here.” Li Chengfeng sighed.

"Master is so knowledgeable about the past and the present, I never thought he knew the piano so well. Qingfeng admires it very much." Tang Qingfeng said.

"You are overrated. I only know a little bit." Li Chengfeng said.

"Uncle Master is humble." Tang Qingfeng replied.He looked at Li Chengfeng and saw that he seemed to like this piano very much, so he said to him:

"If Master likes it, give this piano to Master."

Li Chengfeng looked at Qin, and then said to Tang Qingfeng:

"No need. Although I like it, I don't know how to play it. It's a pity for me, but it's not as valuable as putting it here for everyone to appreciate."

"Okay, then follow what the uncle said." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Well, kid from the Tang family, this tea is very good, I like it very much, thank you." Li Chengfeng said.

"Master, you're welcome." Tang Qingfeng looked at the two of them after returning, and said to Li Zhenwu:

"Does Zhenwu listen to the piano?"

"Huh?" Li Zhenwu was puzzled.

"Zhenwu, didn't we discuss this matter yesterday?" Tang Qingfeng smiled.

"Yes." Li Zhenwu nodded.

"Okay, what does Zhenwu want to hear?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"Anything is fine, Brother Tang can do as you like." Li Zhenwu said.

"Okay." Tang Qingfeng stood up with a smile, and said to Li Chengfeng: "Master, Qingfeng has made a fool of himself."

"There's no need to be modest, go." After Li Chengfeng finished speaking, Tang Qingfeng jumped down and landed on the round platform.

He walked to the table and sat down, put his slender fingers on the guqin, smiled at Li Zhenwu and said:

"Zhenwu, just play high mountains and flowing water."

"Yes." Li Zhenwu replied.

I saw Tang Qingfeng plucking the strings lightly, and a deep sound rose from his fingertips. Where the sound of the piano flowed, he could still see the top of a high mountain, erratic and cloud-shrouded.The jade finger moves slightly between the fingers and changes the sound, and the rhythm appears and disappears from time to time.The sound of the piano is far away, as tall as a mountain, and as grand as a sea.

Seeing that Li Zhenwu was fascinated, Tang Qingfeng looked at Li Zhenwu with a smile, and slowly sang with a low magnetic voice:

"My life is also known by chance, so what if it rises and falls in the evening?"

Li Zhenwu was awakened from the sound of the piano by Tang Qingfeng's voice. He looked at the smiling person waving seven strings on the stage, and a thousand emotions surged in his heart. He wanted to reach out to touch him, to hold him in his arms, and to tell him The strong meaning in my heart can be said in thousands of words, and finally turned into a soft "Brother Tang."

Seeing Li Zhenwu's response, Tang Qingfeng smiled happier.

He caressed the strings, and an ethereal sound sounded, like the flowing water of a high mountain, like the myriad phenomena of clouds, one play a mountain, one play a spring and autumn, the fingertips are palace merchants, and the universe is in harmony with all phenomena. .

Attracted by the beautiful and magnificent sound of the piano, everyone in the tea shop looked at Tang Qingfeng on the stage one after another. Passers-by outside the tea shop heard the sound of the piano and entered the tea shop one after another.

Listening to the beautiful sound of the piano, everyone fell into incomparable joy.As the sound of a piano fell, everyone stood up and applauded.

Tang Qingfeng nodded in return, and jumped into the private room.

Seeing Tang Qingfeng leave, the tea guest said to the shopkeeper of the tea shop:

"Boss Zhang, who was the person playing the piano just now? Can you ask him to play another piece?"

Boss Zhang saw that the tea customer was still not satisfied, so he explained to him:

"Guest, the person who played just now is the young master of our master. He rarely comes here on weekdays, and he doesn't play easily. Today is due to the visit of a distinguished guest, so I played a song. If you want to listen to it again, I don't have to." The method, this matter can only depend on the young master's mood."

"Even if that's the case, then we can't force it, thank you for letting me know." The tea guest said.

"You're welcome." Boss Zhang went to greet the guests after returning.

After Boss Zhang left, the tea guest glanced at Tang Qingfeng upstairs and saw that he and Li Zhenwu had a happy conversation, so he said softly: "The Taoist priest must be his bosom friend."

Upstairs in the private room, Tang Qingfeng looked at Li Zhenwu and said:

"What do you think of Zhenwu? Do you like it?"

"Well, it's very good. High mountains and flowing water, the sound suppresses the clouds. Although the song is exhausted, the meaning is not exhausted. It will echo around the beam for three days." Li Zhenwu replied.

"That's right, a song rewards a confidant, and a bosom friend is found at the end of the world. Since Zhenwu is a bosom friend, the landscape in that song, I wonder if I can invite you to travel with me?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"Well, good." Li Zhenwu replied.

"Zhenwu." Seeing Li Zhenwu's response, Tang Qingfeng smiled slightly at him and said, "There is a thousand differences in the song, and my heart is only for you."

"Brother Tang." Li Zhenwu looked at Tang Qingfeng affectionately, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Li Chengfeng:

"Zhenwu, I'm still a teacher."

Hearing Li Chengfeng's words, Li Zhenwu came back to his senses, and quickly explained to him:

"Master, brother Tang and I, we."

"I know, Zhenwu doesn't need to explain." Li Chengfeng said.

"??? What does Master know?" Li Zhenwu asked puzzled.

"I know that you are fond of the children of the Tang family, and he is also fond of you." Li Chengfeng said without changing his expression.

"...Master." Li Zhenwu was silent.

Li Chengfeng looked at the silent Li Zhenwu, and said softly to him:

"Zhenwu, I have already seen your thoughts. The reason why I didn't say it was because I was afraid that you would think too much. Now I say it because the head of the Tang sect and Mrs. Tang asked me to propose a marriage for you yesterday. I should."

"Master!!!" After hearing Li Chengfeng's explanation, Li Zhenwu looked at him in shock.

Seeing Li Zhenwu surprised, Li Chengfeng looked at him suspiciously and said:

"Why, Zhenwu doesn't want to? If he doesn't want to, just go back later as a teacher and refuse."

"Master, no, I didn't..." Li Zhenwu replied in a panic after hearing what Li Chengfeng said.

Seeing that Li Zhenwu was nervous, Li Chengfeng glanced at him and said:

"Since you are willing, then the matter is settled."

"Master...well." Li Zhenwu nodded.

Tang Qingfeng listened to the conversation between the two, looked at Li Chengfeng and said:

"Uncle Li, thank you."

"You're welcome. Child of the Tang family, Zhenwu is handed over to you, take good care of him," Li Chengfeng said.

"Yes." Tang Qingfeng replied.

"Well, you guys go out and play, you don't need to accompany me." Li Chengfeng said.

"Okay, uncle, drink slowly. If uncle likes it, you can tell shopkeeper Zhang, and he will arrange for someone to send it to Shuxianglou." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Well, let's go." Li Chengfeng said.

"Okay." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Master, let's go first." Li Zhenwu said.

Li Chengfeng nodded, and the two got up and saluted before walking out of the tea shop.

Outside the tea shop, Tang Qingfeng was buying candied gourds for Li Zhenwu. Li Zhenwu saw Jiang Ling leading Lu Qing approaching them not far away, so he called Tang Qingfeng:

"Brother Tang, Brother Jiang and Brother Lu are here."

Tang Qingfeng heard Li Zhenwu's voice, and when he turned his head, Jiang Ling and Lu Qing had already approached.

Tang Qingfeng glanced at the two of them, bought two more bunches of candied haws, and handed them to Jiang Ling, saying:

"Old Jiang, why did you come here?"

Jiang Ling took the candied haws made of various fresh fruits, took a bite and passed them all to Lu Qing, and said to Tang Qingfeng:

"I've been delayed by something, how long have you been here?"

"Soon, two days earlier than you." Tang Qingfeng said and handed the rest of the candied haws to Li Zhenwu.

"Really, have you received the location of the meeting?" Jiang Ling asked.

"I received it two days ago." Tang Qingfeng replied.

"Okay." Jiang Ling continued after returning: "Sisheng Palace has recently poisoned many martial arts fellows in Jianghu. Do you know about this?"

"Well, Zhenwu and I met in Chuzhou. The poison is called Yan Luolei. I have given the sample to my mother, and she is studying the way to deal with it." Tang Qingfeng said.

"It's so good. It's extremely poisonous. Seeing blood seal the throat, if the Four Saints Palace uses it on a large scale, the consequences will be disastrous." Jiang Ling said.

Tang Qingfeng nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Have you found out where the main hall of the Four Saints Palace is?"

"Not yet, but it should be in Jinling area." Jiang Ling said.

"Oh? What information do you have?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"Not specifically, but the Four Sacred Palaces have been taking frequent actions in the Jinling area recently, and the leader and I speculate that the leader and the others may have some action." Jiang Ling said.

"Is that so?" Tang Qingfeng thought for a while and said, "Then let people stare at you first, and when the conference is over, let's investigate together." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Okay." Jiang Ling replied.

Seeing that the two had finished speaking, Lu Qing said to Tang Qingfeng:

"Brother Tang, I don't know how Madam Tang's poison development is going? Do you need help? Lin Guzhu of the Immortal Medicine Valley is also here. She is very good at all kinds of strange poisons, and may be able to help find a solution."

Tang Qingfeng listened to Lu Qing's words, thought for a while and said:

"Alright, Lu Qing, you are very thoughtful, so please invite Lin Guzhu to come to Shuxianglou to discuss this matter with my mother."

"Okay, Jiang Ling and I will go to find Guzhu Lin first." Lu Qing said.

"Yeah." Tang Qingfeng replied.

After Tang Qingfeng finished speaking, he watched Jiang Ling and Lu Qing leave, and then said to Li Zhenwu:

"Zhenwu, let's go back and find mother."

"Okay." After Li Zhenwu returned, Tang Qingfeng went back to Shuxianglou with him.
