Chapter 22: Swordsman
Due to the distance, the first to arrive was Miss Peony.
Su Ruyi had no good feelings for Miss Peony, for a simple reason. Miss Peony was wearing a red gauze skirt, which did not cover the parts that should be covered, and exposed the parts that should not be exposed.
Huo Chenan's eyes almost went straight after she got on the boat.
"Ouch," Huo Chenan came back to his senses after receiving a loving touch on his feet.
He could not help but be secretly shocked. This woman was really charming and attractive, even more charming than Qin Wushuang he had seen before. Even a knowledgeable time traveler like himself was bewitched by her.
"Excuse me for bothering you two." Peony bowed and said, "I just heard you two playing the zither and flute together. The tune was unheard of, but very beautiful. I took the liberty to come and ask for your advice."
After explaining the purpose of her visit, Su Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately gave her the score of the Qingxin Pushan Mantra, only asking her to leave quickly and not confuse her brother Chenan.
But Mudan obviously didn't have this awareness. She wanted to ask the two about some playing questions. After all, she had never heard such a novel tune.
Just as she was about to speak, a man in white suddenly fell from the sky and landed steadily on the deck.
The man in white clothes and a folding fan, fanning himself twice in the chilly spring breeze, blowing his long hair in the wind, and his hair was full of gauze as soon as he appeared.
The man who came was the man who rowed here.
"I am Chu Liuxiang. I am sorry for disturbing you by coming here without invitation. I hope the host will forgive me."
Mudan narrowed her eyes and looked at the man thoughtfully. Without waiting for everyone to react, she stood up and said:
"Since Miss Su and Mr. Huo have guests, Mudan will take her leave first."
After that, she left the Su family's painting boat and returned to the Mudan Boat.
Su Ruyi and Huo Chenan didn't care too much, after all, there was still a strange guy on the painting boat.
If he is Chu Liuxiang as he introduced himself, then this guy is not a "thief".
Why do you, a thief, make such a high profile?
Huo Chenan complained in his heart, but still responded: "I wonder what Chu Xia is here for."
"Just now when I was playing on the river, I heard two people playing the zither and flute in harmony, the melody is unique, I love melody, so I came to ask for advice." Chu Liuxiang took out a flute from somewhere.
Huo Chenan said with difficulty: "Unfortunately, the score of Qingxin Pushan Mantra has just been given to Miss Mudan."
He has never had a good impression of people who are as handsome as himself. What's more, Chu Liuxiang is so showy.
"No problem, can you two play it again, I will write it down."
Having said that, Huo Chenan couldn't refuse. Just based on the move he just made from the sky, his Sanda practice might not be able to beat him.
But on second thought, it seems to be a good choice if he can make a good relationship.
Thinking of Chu Liuxiang's identity as a man of the world, Huo Chenan suddenly had an idea.
Huo Chenan bowed to Chu Liuxiang and said, "Master Chu, I have another song here. I wonder if you are interested."
"Oh? What song?" Chu Liuxiang was indeed moved.
Huo Chenan took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote out the music score of "Swordsman".
Strictly speaking, this song "Swordsman" should be called "A Laugh in the Sea". It was created by Huang Zhan, a genius in the music industry, in the 1990s. Because it is so classic, people unanimously believe that this song truly expresses the true meaning of "Swordsman".
Chu Liuxiang looked at the music score with a burning gaze.
"Wonderful, wonderful. Such a combination of syllables is really wonderful."
He seemed to have opened the door to a new world and was intoxicated.
"Master Chu, this music score needs to be accompanied by lyrics to show its true meaning." Huo Chenan said.
"Lyrics?" Chu Liuxiang asked in confusion.
Huo Chenan nodded and said, "Chu Xia, if you two try to play it, please."
Both of them were proficient in music, and they could play it after reading the score once. Soon, the prelude of "Swordsman" sounded.
While the two were playing, Huo Chenan began to sing:
"The sea laughed, and the tides on both sides surged.
I only remember today when I rise and fall with the waves.
The sky laughed, and the tides of the world surged.
Who will win or lose is known to heaven.
The mountains and rivers laughed, and the mist and rain were far away.
The waves washed away the beauty of the world.
The breeze laughed, but it caused loneliness.
The passion still had a piece of sunset.
The people laughed, and they were no longer lonely.
The passion was still laughing foolishly.
La la la la la..."
Shocked, the whole Qinhuai River was shocked by Huo Chenan at this moment.
Huo Chenan's desolate and hoarse voice, coupled with the heroic and affectionate lyrics of "Swordsman", made the whole Qinhuai River fall into silence.
The first one to bear the brunt was Chu Liuxiang. As a person in the martial arts world, he could best understand the helplessness and loneliness. The lyrics expressed the heroism of the martial arts world, and also expressed the sadness of the martial arts world. Looking back at the past, who could really laugh at the martial arts world?
The second one to be shocked was Su Ruyi. She really couldn't think of anything else that Brother Chen An couldn't do.
The next one was Mudan, who had just left not long ago. "This... There are such wonderful lyrics and music in the world. After one song, who knows, the love in the world is so disturbing, and the mountains and rivers are like dreams. Looking at the world, who can laugh at the martial arts world?" Mudan looked at the sparkling river for a long time and couldn't let it go.
As for the princes who were rushing to the Su family's painting boat, they were surprised and surprised. "There are such heroic songs in the world. It's really worth the trip. Come over, come over."
...
After one song, Chu Liuxiang was immersed in it, as if he was experiencing the heroism of the song, and also seemed to be lamenting the helplessness of the martial arts world.
