Daoxing Xianyuan

Chapter 51 The Centennial Mystery
But Yu Wei was worried about being discovered by the immortals because she accidentally became famous at the song meeting. When she was about to leave Jiaxiang City and find a new place to live in seclusion, Ou Xue invited Yu Wei to her house as a guest.But Ou Xue's enthusiasm was nothing, so Yu Wei agreed to the invitation.The two had just walked out of the hotel, when Yu Wei remembered something again and told Ou Xue to wait a moment, then hurried back to the hotel by herself.After a while, it was equal to returning to Ou Xue's side with a bag full of things in his hand.Ou Xue asked Yu Wei what he was doing, and Yu Wei said that he gave it to Grandpa Ou Xue by the way.Seeing Yu Wei like this, Ou Xue couldn't say anything, but said, why be so polite.

It turned out that when Yu Wei left the hotel just now, he thought that since he was a guest, he should bring some gifts with him.Gifts are not a problem, there are plenty of jade rings, but it is not easy to take them out rashly in front of others, so Ou Xue was asked to wait for him, and she went back to her room to prepare gifts.

There are many things in the Yuzang ring, but they are all produced on the earth. After matching the gifts, Yu Wei carefully tore off all the trademarks and erased all the words that might reveal that they were produced on the earth.The good thing is that people who have completed the second level of the refinement stage now have real fire all over their bodies, which can be manipulated with their minds. It is relatively easy to use the real fire to erase some words on products.However, the markings on individual items are really difficult to grasp when wiping off, so I tried several times, but I was not satisfied, so I had to remove them from the gifts and find other replacements.

Ou Xue drove her red car and started it slowly.Ou Xue told Yu Wei that her grandfather used to teach music at the university, and there were many students. Those who Yu Wei met yesterday were classmates with Ou Xue and her grandfather's students.Now that my grandfather has retired, he can’t stay idle. He continues to study music and is currently writing a book on music history. Because he heard that Yu Wei’s songs have a unique melody, he really wants to meet Yu Wei.But two years ago, my grandfather injured his leg and it is still inconvenient, so he came here to invite Yu Wei.

Ou Xue talked with great interest while driving.After talking about her grandfather, Ou Xue said again: "My home is in the suburbs, but it's not too far from the city." Yu Wei absent-mindedly said "um", and Ou Xue couldn't help but glance at Yu Wei strangely. , So I stopped bothering Yu Wei and drove by myself.

It turned out that when Yu Wei heard that Grandpa Ou Xue wanted to see him, he couldn't help but think in his heart: I've managed to live in seclusion, so what kind of song will I sing and how will I get the limelight.Now that it's all right, I've been in the media, I've become a "celebrity", and I'm not sure when I will be recruited by others.No, leave Jiaxiang City immediately after being a guest.Yu Wei had been thinking about it in his mind all the time, and in a trance, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. It turned out that Yu Wei discovered that at some point, the car had already left Jiaxiang City.

Yu Wei turned his head and asked Ou Xue who was concentrating on driving: "Why are you outside the city?"

Ou Xue said calmly: "I told you just now that my family doesn't live in the city. I'm afraid you were thinking about something and didn't pay attention."

"Oh..." Yu Wei said apologetically, "I really didn't pay attention just now."

"It's nothing, we'll be there soon." Ou Xue said calmly again.

Sure enough, after another ten minutes, Ou Xue told Yu Wei that her house was at the bottom of the slope when they climbed a mountain ridge.

Descending to the bottom of the slope, Ou Xue turned the car into a fork road. On both sides of the fork road, unknown flowers bloomed. Half a mile away, there was a green shade. Beside the green shade, there were several antique buildings surrounded together. It's a manor.Ou Xue told Yu Wei that this was her home.

Yu Wei looked at those houses and said, "Your house is very spacious! There are a lot of people, right?"

Ou Xuedao: "The house was left by the elders. There used to be a lot of people living in it, but now it's very deserted. My parents, and my uncles and mothers are all working in other places. Grandpa and I are the only ones here in Jiaxiang. Now it's me Live here with grandpa and two nannies."

Ou Xue drove the car all the way to the gate of the manor and stopped. Just as the two got out of the car, they saw a small black car slowly coming here.Ou Xue looked at it and cheered, "Brother is here!"

"Big Brother!" As soon as the black car came to a complete stop, Ou Xue ran to Big Brother's car like a swallow.The car door opened, but a lively child threw himself into Ou Xue's arms first.

Immediately, two more people, a man and a woman, got out of the car.It turned out that it was the eldest brother and his family who came to see grandpa.

Ou Xue only focused on talking to her eldest brother, leaving Yu Weiliang aside.Yu Wei didn't speak, he was holding a gift by himself, watching them chat with interest.After a while, Ou Xue brought her eldest brother and sister-in-law in front of Yu Wei and said, "Mr. Zhong, this is my elder brother and sister-in-law." After speaking, she added embarrassingly: "Brother works in another place, and we haven't seen each other for more than half a year. We meet!"

"Oh..." After hearing what Ou Xue said, Yu Wei finally understood, no wonder, Ou Xue was so excited when she saw her eldest brother, a thought flashed in her mind, and she couldn't help thinking of her relatives at home.

While hesitating, Brother Ou Xue stretched out his hand to Yu Wei and said, "Mr. Zhong, my name is Ou Lin. Welcome to my house!"

Yu Wei came back to his senses, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Ou Lin's hand and said, "Thank you, it's just that I'm bothering you too much."

A group of people talked and laughed, and entered the manor.Ou Xue said: "Brother, you accompany Teacher Zhong, I'll call grandpa first!" After finishing speaking, he left like a gust of wind without waiting for elder brother to answer.

On both sides of the gate of the manor are wing rooms, and inside the gate is a small courtyard dam, somewhat like the patio of a courtyard house.Pass through the patio, bypass a side door, and enter the main living room.The entire manor is mainly made of wood, with flowers, plants and animals carved on the doors, windows, ceiling, and even the beams, so I couldn't help being a little surprised.It turned out that Yu Wei discovered that the architectural style of the manor seemed to be similar to those ancient buildings on the earth.Yu Wei has lived in Jiaxiang City for a while, but he has never seen such a style of architecture.

Seeing that Yu Wei was always looking at the house, Ou Lin smiled and said: "Mr. Zhong, this is the first time you have come to my house. This house was built by the old generation and has a history of hundreds of years."

"Hundreds of years!" Yu Wei said in surprise.

At this moment, I saw two people walking slowly outside the living room. It was Ou Xue who was supporting an old man in his sixties. The old man was not very comfortable with his legs and feet, and he was holding a cane in his hand, but he looked good. Looks like he's in good spirits.

Seeing the old man approaching, Ou Lin and his wife hurried up to meet him. Yu Wei knew that this should be Ou Xue's grandfather, so he also hurriedly went up to him and shouted: "Master Ou, hello!"

"Okay, okay, everyone!" Grandpa Ou Xue glanced at everyone, and happily answered everyone's greetings.Then he stared at Yu Wei and said, "You are Xiao Zhong, I should have come to visit, but I troubled you to come, thank you!"

Yu Wei said: "Master District, you are too polite." After speaking, he held up the gift with both hands and said: "This is a little thought, thank you for the invitation, old man."

Seeing that Yu Wei was so polite, Grandpa Ou Xue thanked him again, then laughed heartily a few times, and happily accepted Yu Wei's gift.

After exchanging greetings for a while, everyone sat down in the hall.Ou Lin's son couldn't sit still, and after making a fuss for a while, his mother took him to go fishing.

At this moment, Ou Xue had already set drinks in front of the others.

After greeting the guests for a few sips of drinks, Grandpa Ou Xue smiled and said to him: "Xiao Zhong, I heard that your song is very good!"

"Where is it, Mr. District, I just sang a few words indiscriminately." Yu Wei hastened to be polite.

"Oh, just a few random words!" Ou Xue answered the words too much, with a hint of teasing.

"It's not just singing indiscriminately, it's..." Yu Wei heard what Ou Xue meant, a little embarrassed, and hurriedly explained, but found that the description was getting darker and darker, so he hesitated.

"Forget it, Xiao Zhong, don't be too polite." Grandpa Ou Xue hurriedly made a relief, and then said: "I heard Xiaoxue hum a few paragraphs, okay, okay!"

"Ou Lin, do you know Xiao Zhong? I've been engaged in music all my life, but I've never heard such a song before!" Several people came to talk about music, Ou Lin was bored and drank drinks by himself.

Hearing his grandfather calling him, Ou Lin looked at Wei again, and said, "Mr. Zhong, are you also into music?"

"No, I usually sell jewelry, this time I came to Jiaxiang City to buy." Yu Wei quickly explained.

"Xiao Zhong, are you singing a folk song from your hometown?" Grandpa Ou Xue asked.

"I don't know, I heard my mother sing it when I was young, and I just changed some words." Yu Wei had long thought about it, and at the end, he added: "However, I have never heard a similar tune except my mother sang it. Others sang."

"Oh, is your mother in good health?" Grandpa Ou Xue said.

"I've been dead for many years..." Yu Wei thought of his family again, and replied a little lonely.

Seeing that Yu Wei looked lonely, everyone fell silent for a moment.

"Grandpa, didn't you say that you wanted to ask Mr. Zhong to solve the puzzle!" Ou Xue and everyone were silent for a while, and quickly started to talk.

"Solution?" Yu Wei looked at the old man in some confusion.

"Yes, Xiao Zhong, my house was left by my ancestors, and it has been hundreds of years. Maybe you are also surprised, my house is different from other houses."

"Yes, it's different." Yu Wei said.

Grandpa Ou Xue said: "In the past, I also asked my elders, but they couldn't explain the reason clearly. Why it was built like this has always been a mystery."

"Grandpa, what's the mystery, why don't I know it?" Ou Xue interrupted.

Grandpa Ou Xue glanced at Ou Xue and said, "I'll tell you now." Then he paused and said, "The year before last, when I was sorting out the old books in the study, I found a manuscript of music score, which was written by the family more than 200 years ago. It was left by one of the ancestors. He is also guessing this mystery in the family, he said in the manuscript, after his research, he believes that whoever understands this music score may be able to solve this mystery in the family.”

Grandpa Ou Xue finished the above words in one breath, lifted the drink and took a sip.

After listening to the old man's talk, Yu Wei, Ou Xue and Ou Lin looked at each other.This old house actually has a mystery, Ou Xue and Ou Lin had never thought of it before.

Yu Wei felt even more unnatural, he couldn't help being a little embarrassed to tell the fan of his family to an outsider like himself.Seeing Grandpa Ou Xue staring at her, she said in a low voice with a little confidence: "I, I don't know music...".

"What did you say?" Grandpa Ou Xue didn't seem to understand what Yu Wei was saying, so he continued: "Xiao Zhong, look at this, this is the music score." Grandpa Ou Xue took it out of his body while talking. A piece of paper was handed over to Yu Wei.

Yu Wei glanced at it and said, "This paper, this is...".

"Oh, this is what I transcribed, not the original manuscript." Grandpa Ou Xue said.

Yu Wei looked at the music score again, but found that it was not the music score he had imagined. The whole score was full of Chinese characters, but there were many inexplicable symbols on the top, bottom, left, and right sides of each character. It was not at all like the score I had seen before. can not read it.

After reading it for a while, Yu Wei returned the score to Grandpa Ou Xue in embarrassment and said, "I really don't understand."

"Grandpa, let me see." Ou Xue took the score from her grandfather's hand.

"No problem, Xiao Zhong, listen to it first." Grandpa Ou Xue said, and then said to Ou Lin: "Ou Lin, go to the study and get the music plate on my desk."

Ou Lin agreed and went.

"Well, weird, really weird!" Ou Xue stared at the music score and said to herself.

Seeing Ou Xue talking to herself, Yu Wei couldn't figure it out.

"Ou Xue, what did you say?" Seeing Ou Xue talking to herself, Grandpa Ou Xue couldn't help asking her.

"Grandpa, your song seems to be related to the songs sung by Mr. Zhong." Ou Xue replied.

"You can see it." Grandpa Ou Xue asked.

"Grandpa, no matter how stupid he is, he still teaches music." Ou Xue said coquettishly while putting the score on the drink table.

"Yes, yes, how can my Xiaoxue be stupid." Grandpa Ou Xue laughed.

Yu Wei joked with the old and the young, he didn't understand music, couldn't put his mouth in, so he just smiled on one side.

"Little Zhong, I heard Ou Xue humming your song last night, and I feel that it has something to do with this song. Since I got this sheet music, I have studied it for three years, but I have no clue. Maybe you can help." Grandpa Ou Xue He turned his head and smiled at Wei Dao again.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Yu Wei pointed to the music score on the table and said, "Master Au, it's just, just, I don't understand this kind of music score, not only this kind, but also numbered notation."

After hearing Yu Wei's words, Grandpa Ou Xue was stunned for a moment, and then asked Yu Wei: "Notation, Xiao Zhong, what notation?"

On the one hand, Ou Xue also looked at Yu Wei with some confusion...
