Chapter 123: Weddings and funerals collide? No concessions!
[Kawasaki-kun looks so handsome today, worthy of being the groom! ]
[I don't know which Chinese woman is so lucky to marry Kawasaki-kun? ]
[Is this Inoue-kun? Is that Murashita-kun? Oh my god, they are both famous instrument masters! ]
[How much would it cost to hire so many instrument masters at once? But Kawasaki-kun is not short of money. 】
[I heard that Kawasaki-kun once offered a large sum of money to hire a Chinese suona maker, but he refused! That’s why he found a master of Japanese musical instruments! ]
[What a crap suona maker! I think he refused because he was afraid of being exposed. Our Oriental master can beat him in a second! ]
Looking at the screen full of comments, Kawasaki was very pleased with himself.
Isn’t it just a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix?
Who knows if it can attract birds?
I don’t even want it!
"set off!"
With a wave of his hand, a long and mighty team set off!
Everywhere you look, it’s bright red, how festive!
On the other side, the old principal's funeral procession also set off.
"See? Mr. Qin San is here too!"
"Of course I saw it. I was just waiting for him to blow the trumpet!"
"Ah? I don't think he's going to play the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix. Eight pieces will be enough."
"What do you mean? Based on what the old principal did, he doesn't deserve to be worshipped by hundreds of birds?"
“Although the old principal is indeed highly respected, you know the temper of the Third Master. He hasn’t blown the trumpet for many years!”
"It is said that blowing the whistle to attract hundreds of birds can really attract hundreds of birds. Is it true or not?"
An old man stroked his beard and said, "Of course it's true! Young man, you haven't seen it, but we old guys have!"
"Uncle, please tell me, is it as magical as the legend says?"
The old man closed his eyes, a smile appeared on his lips, and he recalled the scene of that day.
Birds pay homage to the phoenix, a song of great sorrow.
In the area of 800 miles of mountains and rivers, Qin San is the only one who can play the flute.
A suona player, the suona is always in his mouth and with him.
A true suona player will regard suona as more important than his own life.
Don't think that Qin San is now highly respected and respected by everyone.
But when I was learning the skills, I also worked very hard.
Learning a skill can be accomplished overnight, but inheritance cannot.
You will be taught on the same day you become an apprentice.
As for inheritance, it takes three years to get started to observe one's character, and three years to become a disciple to learn how to be a good person.
The master told him that playing the suona is a craftsman's job. Now that he has learned it, he must take responsibility and play the suona for the rest of his life!
If you just want to learn a skill, as long as you have talent, you will be able to learn it in time.
Ten kneelings to father, a thousand pieces of paper, Su Wu herding sheep, fireworks sighing...
Any general piece of music can be taught.
But not everyone can learn the song of great sorrow, "Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix".
Only the successor chosen by the master is worthy of learning the art of flying.
That's called a ertu, which means both a disciple and a son.
That is also a successor. If you have learned how to "hundreds of birds pay homage to the phoenix", you will be the next successor.
Qin San took over the suona class from his master and has been playing it until now.
Although times have changed and there are more and more new things, the younger generation will not choose suona as the accompaniment of weddings and funerals.
But Qin San still holds on to this last piece of pure land, not only for the suona in his heart, but also for the promise he made to his master when he took over the suona.
As long as I am still alive, suona will never disappear from this land!
It is said that suona masters have their own unique skills and will keep some of their tricks to themselves when teaching their apprentices.
But what they left behind was not for themselves, but for their successors.
This is called a unique skill, and only people with good character are worthy of learning it! Listening to the old man's story, the young people all laughed.
"Master, are you kidding me? Even if this song is beautiful, can it attract hundreds of birds?"
"That's right. What white phoenix? There is no phoenix in this world. Are you getting old and confused?"
"You may be seeing things because your eyes are dim."
The old man glared angrily: "I'm not mistaken! It's a white phoenix! It looks exactly like the one in the picture book. If you don't believe me, just wait and see!"
White papers fluttered all over the sky, as if there was a heavy snow.
The suona and people's cries formed a heroic and tragic song that drifted across the 800-mile mountains and rivers.
The procession suddenly stopped.
"What's going on? Who told you to stop?!"
According to tradition, unless there are unexpected circumstances, the funeral procession cannot stop.
"There is a bride-picking team ahead."
"They didn't give way?"
"No, it seems that he has no intention of moving aside."
Weddings and funerals collide with each other. As the saying goes, the dead are the greatest and there are no returning customers on the road to the underworld.
This is the last journey in this world. No matter how big the matter is, we have to give way to the dead.
Marriage is no exception.
The party attending a happy event should be respectful, stop playing, stand still, and avoid the passage to let the party attending a sad event go first.
This is respect for the dead.
This has been the rule for thousands of years, and it has never been heard of funerals giving way to weddings.
Even if the funeral party really gives in, would the wedding party dare to go first?
Walking in front of the dead, are you getting married or rushing to report to the underworld?
That doesn't make sense!
I’m afraid that some young people who haven’t even fully grown their hair don’t understand this rule?
That’s strange. Even if he doesn’t understand, isn’t there an elder in the family who understands?
If you don’t take the initiative to give way to funerals, you will probably be laughed at by the villagers for the rest of your life!
Master Qin San thought so in his heart, and walked to the front of the team with a gloomy face, wanting to see which village the young man was so unruly!
Chen Lu and Anna quickly followed.
"Hey, what's that team in front doing?"
"Kawasaki-san, they should be holding a funeral. Someone in the family has passed away."
Kawasaki curled his lips and said, "What a bad road! Hurry up and tell them to get out of the way and stop blocking my way!"
[Oh, Kawasaki-kun, your luck is bad. You actually ran into a team of dead people. 】
[Such a festive day, it's really unlucky! ]
[Don’t these Chinese people know how to give way? A good dog doesn’t block the road! ]
[Alas, the quality of the Chinese people is really worrying! ]
On the mountain road, the red and white forces collided with each other, and no one showed any intention of avoiding them.
"Hey, when a wedding or funeral collides with another, the wedding should give way to the funeral. Do you understand this rule?"
Kawasaki sneered, "Bullshit rules! You are blocking my way, get out of the way! A good dog doesn't block the road!"
Master Qin San walked to the front and saw Kawasaki riding on a tall horse at a glance.
His face suddenly turned cold.
Enemies really meet on a narrow road!
The old people all frowned, thinking that the young man from that village didn't know the rules, but they didn't expect it to be a little Sakura boy!
My disgust towards him increased even more.
Sakura dog, you come to my Chinese territory and don’t follow my Chinese rules?
Do you think it was decades ago?
[A wedding party and a funeral party collided with each other? Isn't this too much of a coincidence? ]
[That person seems to be Kawasaki-kun? And he brought so many masters of Japanese musical instruments with him! ]
