The second thing that Xiao Yunyi did after arriving in Binhai City was to go to the parks every morning and afternoon to listen to the fans sing Peking opera for entertainment. Actually, he was not listening to the opera. The main thing was to observe how different zither players played the Jinghu and how the music played by the Jinghu played by the zither players was.
After traveling all over Binhai City, Xiao Yunyi finally found the person he really wanted to be his apprentice, a retired special zither player from Binhai City's Beijing Theater.
"Yo, Yun Yi is here. We were just talking about you. It's not too late. Look at what we've just set up. Yunyi, are you going to give me a performance first today, or…?”A silver-haired old man sitting in the octagonal pavilion said to the direction of the shout.
"Hey, where are your eyes? You bumped into me, okay?”Yun Yi, who was called Yun Yi by the silver-haired old man in the octagonal pavilion, had disguised himself as a sunny boy. Before he could answer the old man in the octagonal pavilion, he heard a goat's voice shouting at him.
Xiao Yunyi tossed the bicycle aside and turned around to look at the trembling woman who was angry at him. After a long time, he said,"Yo, why does this voice sound so familiar? It seemed, it seemed, oh, he couldn't remember. Wait, let me think about it carefully. Ah, I remember now. It was said that there was a person who was good at singing sheep's voices a few years ago. It was said that the person was called something like Grandpa Zeng, right? You can't be Grandpa Zeng's successor, right? Hehe, I'm sorry, I didn't even touch you just now. If you have the time, then go find Brother Spring 46th and PK him together. I think Brother Spring's successor must be looking for you too. Or if you're really bored, you can help your mother out.”
As soon as Xiao Yunyi finished speaking, a burly woman in her thirties and a tall, thin man in a certain city in China sneezed a few times. They were still wondering why someone was still making things difficult for their mother after so many years.
When the trembling woman, who Xiao Yun also called Grandpa Zeng, heard this, she immediately waved her small pink fist and threatened,"I'll beat you to death, believe it or not, you really can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. Let me tell you, she's from Binhai Music Academy. She's learning bel canto, do you understand?”
Xiao Yunyi's heart skipped a beat when he heard Grandpa Zeng's words, but he quickly covered his ears and said,""Hehe, Zeng Sanba can spit out ivory from his mouth. However, I don't need you to beat me up. If you keep flashing your mantis arms and grasshopper legs, I won't be able to afford it. Oh, it's not that I can't afford it, it's just that I don't have anywhere to help you. Besides, if you really want someone to die, you can just say it with your goat voice. I reckon that once you open your mouth, all the young and old men in this area will lie down. But don't spit out ivory again this time. That's a rare item. Hehehe."
"Hmph, I'm ignoring you. Don't insult others like this. Grandpa, he's bullying me. Why don't you help me?”Grandpa Zeng's eloquence was no match for Xiao Yunyi, so he asked for help from an old man with flowing silver hair sitting in the octagonal pavilion.
"What? Godfather Ma, she, she's your granddaughter? Aiyo, how could you have such a granddaughter? Listen to your voice, what is it called? That was called a grand bell and a big Lu. Even a drawl would have to linger around for three days. But, but what about her? You heard her voice just now, right? That was really tragic. Seriously, you have the nerve to let her out with her vocal cords?”Xiao Yun also said in the direction of the octagonal pavilion.
The silver-haired old man stroked his long silver beard and shook his head at Xiao Yunyi.""Yun Yi, isn't your mouth too smelly? Who would say that about a girl? Aren't you afraid that the two of us will join hands to beat you up? Hahaha!"
Xiao Yunyi exaggeratedly put her hand to her mouth and breathed in. Then, she brought it up to her nose and sniffed it, saying,"My mouth doesn't stink. Not only does it not stink, but it also has a fragrance. If you don't believe me, let your granddaughter smell it. But to be honest, Godfather Ma, I'm not afraid of you beating me up, but I'm really afraid of your granddaughter's whining. Hehe-"
Old Ma shook his head again." You little brat. You must make my granddaughter cry, right?" I can't win against you, but I have my ways of dealing with you. Today I will raise the key by eight keys and punish you to sing three segments. If you can't sing it, hehe, don't even think about learning that part of 'Deep Night'.”
"Godfather Ma, this is Chi Guoguo's revenge, and you're even using the convenience of teaching. However, if I don't accept your revenge, I'm afraid I won't be able to get past you today. Alright, then I'll spit out an elephant tusk first and apologize to your precious granddaughter.”Xiao Yunyi stood in front of the silver-haired old man after she finished speaking. Then, she put on a posture. With this seemingly casual action, it was as if he had changed into a different person. A pressing heroic spirit seeped out from his bones.
"Alright, how about we start with the 'Stealing the Command Arrow at the First Sight of the Princess' from 'Sitting in the Palace'?”An old man beside Old Ma saw Xiao Yunyi's sudden change in expression and praised him before discussing with him.
"You can tune it first while I stretch my throat. Hey--hey--ah--baa--baa ~~~~~ Alright, Godfather Ma, Godfather Zhang, Godfather Li, please.”
" Ba da, da, da da, dai…" The old man whom Xiao Yunyi called Lord Zhang sounded a drum-like object covered in white leather with a diameter of about one foot.
" Dang ge li ge leng, deng ge leng de li ge leng…" Following that, Old Ma also played the Hu Qin.
"When I saw the princess stealing the token arrow,
I can't help but feel happy in my heart.
……
Standing at the palace gate, I call you Xiao Fan "
"Alright!"
As soon as Xiao Yunyi finished singing his high-pitched, high-pitched song, everyone in the octagonal pavilion and the small park cheered. Xiao Yun couldn't continue singing.
The cheering stopped and Old Ma said,"Kid, I didn't expect you to really spit out ivory from your dog mouth."?Do you know that this is a high-pitched tune? This high-pitched tune made many Peking opera masters cower in fear back then. Back then, many masters with extremely high attainments did not dare to perform "Sitting in the Palace" because they did not have this voice. Even if they did, they would not sing this tune. Kid, with that voice of yours, if it was back then, you would have become a great grandmaster. Come, the second paragraph. Right, kid, what's the second part?”
"Hmm, let's play Duan Ye Sect's 'Little Banquet.' How about Godfather Ma, Godfather Zhang?”Xiao Yun said after some thought.
"Ah? Kid, open your mouth and let me see how many tusks you have. Haha, I'm really here today. Up-"
After the word "up", Lord Zhang's subordinates immediately began to beat the drums. Godfather Ma followed closely behind and played the Hu Qin." Dang ge leng de li ge leng, deng ge leng de li ge leng…"
"That day at Tiger Cage Pass,
Liu Guanzhang and I…
……
How can we fight against the Heavenly Halberd and the dragon who goes out to sea?
Defeated Liu Guan Zhang, my name spread all over the world.”
After Xiao Yunyi finished singing, Lord Zhang, who was playing the one-foot-wide, white-skinned drum, threw away the small club in his hand and grabbed Xiao Yunyi."Awesome! Kid, you really have the style of the two masters, Ye Shenglan and Ye Shaolan. Haha, I've really had a good time today. Hahaha, hahahaha…How about another scene?”
"What? Grandpa Zhang, I, I sang well?”Hearing the praise from "Elder Drum" Lord Zhang (the person who played the small drum), Xiao Yun asked, feigning ignorance.
"Not only is it good, it's simply amazing. Previously, he could only listen to this song on a CD, but he didn't expect to hear it sung in person today. Listening with his eyes closed, he really thought that Master Ye had been reborn.”Grandpa Zhang said. After he finished speaking with Xiao Yunyi, he turned to Old Ma, who was playing the huqin, and said,"Hey, old man, I don't care about anything else today. I have to teach that 'Deep Night' today, and I have to teach it until Yun Yi is satisfied. Otherwise, we won't be able to work together in the future."
"Haha, old man, you're convinced, right? I've already told you that this kid was born to sing. Where could he find this voice, this manner, and this spirit? In time, he would definitely become a grandmaster. Sigh, what a pity." Old Ma said.
"What's there to pity about Grandpa? With his stinky mouth and bear-like appearance, it's already not bad if he can become a brown bear. Just treat it as coaxing a puppy.”Grandpa Zeng pursed his lips and said.
" Keke, don't talk like that," the girl's grandfather scolded her."Yun Yi, this is my granddaughter, Coco Ma. She just got into the Binhai Music Academy like you, but she's a bel canto major. You have to take care of her in school in the future.”
"Ah! Oh, okay, but forget it. Godfather Ma, continue?" Xiao Yunyi said word by word.
Xiao Yun also referred to the old men as Master Ma, Master Zhang, and Master Li, all of whom were in their seventies. Before they retired, they were the top masters of Jinghu, Erhu, and Drum in Binhai City's Peking opera theater. Now that they had retired, they would often gather together and continue to fiddle with the treasure they had held in their hands for decades. At the same time, they were also worried about the decline of the national quintessence of Peking opera. Now that Xiao Yunyi was here, he was smart, talented, and passionate about the Peking opera industry. All of them brought out their best skills to teach him.
"Yun Yi, come, let Old Ma tell you about this 'Deep Night'. It is said that this piece is Master Li Muliang's disgusting masterpiece. If I can use the master's piano to play it again that day, I will die in peace.”Old Master Gu said.
The day is not far away. As long as I learn and master it, then you will definitely have a feast for your ears. These were Xiao Yunyi's heartfelt words.
Everyone in the small garden knew Xiao Yunyi. He was definitely a super fan of Chinese opera. He was born with a good voice, and he was also very talented at imitating people. He imitated the old students in the Beijing opera industry and the young students. Unfortunately, he did not like to sing. He only liked to dance the bow in his hand and play a whisper with the one-inch-long part of the bow. This was what the elders felt regretful about.
In fact, Xiao Yunyi had his own thoughts in his heart, but this idea was not very mature, so it was not good to say it now.
