Dragon's Origin

“I’m also very excited!” Master Yu said with a smile, his hand already swiftly snatching the Liang Zhu score, eagerly starting to read it.

As he read, Master Yu hummed along, one hand even reaching for the piano keys.

The moment the first piano note sounded, Wang Sheng had already left the huge room. Wang Sheng believed that Master Yu probably wouldn’t rest for at least two or three days.

After instructing Steward Wang to prepare the best nourishing medicines and foods for Master Yu, Wang Sheng went straight to where the dozen or so grandmasters were staying.

These days, the dozen grandmasters hadn't been idle. They not only thoroughly upgraded the woodworking machinery that Wang Sheng had initially instructed them on, making it more precise, but also created the machine tool that Wang Sheng had mentioned last time.

However, the machine tool was only for cutting wood for the time being, and hadn't yet been made to cut metal. At least its usage had been tested on wood, and as long as the material problem was solved, metal processing could basically be achieved.

In the short term, Wang Sheng didn't have any items that needed to be built immediately, so he didn't continue to trouble these dozen or so grandmasters. After personally hosting them, Wang Sheng could finally relax a little and quietly wait for Master Yu to learn the piano playing techniques.

Wang Sheng never doubted whether the eighty-year-old Master Yu could learn to play the piano. For a grandmaster who was obsessed with musical instruments and music, as long as there was motivation and passion, there was nothing they couldn't learn. Especially since he had personally built this piano, he was the most familiar with its structure and timbre besides Wang Sheng, so there was no possibility that he couldn't learn it.

As for the energy issue, that was even less of a problem. Don't look at Master Yu sometimes being emotionally agitated, seemingly unable to control himself, but his spiritual Qi cultivation was definitely at the legendary realm. If a fight really broke out, probably one or two Wang Shengs wouldn't be his match. With the spiritual Qi gathering formation in the Marquis's residence plus medicinal and food supplements, being busy for a few days wouldn't have any impact at all.

In the evening, Wang Sheng rarely dined with Mei'er, who had worked hard all day, and accompanied her to watch the moon and stars in the back garden. If it weren't for the somewhat chaotic tinkling piano sounds, it would definitely be a perfect night.

If I had known, I wouldn't have made a grand piano; at least the sound wouldn't be so loud. But Wang Sheng also knew that even if he made an upright piano, it would be the same. Who told him his hearing was so good now? Wang Sheng could definitely hear the sound of the piano in the Marquis's residence clearly.

Mei'er was pleasantly surprised. During this period, Wang Sheng had been so busy with these grandmasters that she sometimes didn't even have time to eat with Wang Sheng. Now that she could be with the Marquis again, Mei'er was as happy as a cheerful swallow.

“Master Yu is practicing a new piece. When he has practiced it well, he will give us a huge surprise.” Seeing that Mei'er seemed a little unhappy due to the chaotic piano sounds, Wang Sheng smiled and comforted her, “It can barely be considered a piano piece I came up with. It also contains a very sorrowful story, which I will tell you about when the time comes.”

As soon as she heard that it was a piano piece that Wang Sheng had come up with, Mei'er's mood immediately changed. Even Master Yu's unskilled playing techniques didn't sound so bad, as if they had suddenly become pleasant to the ear.

While accompanying Mei'er, Wang Sheng savored the fragrance emanating from her body, and became even more expectant of the future after his hearing was enhanced after the piano piece was played.

Master Yu indeed didn't disappoint Wang Sheng. From the first time he got Wang Sheng's score and officially touched the piano to when he could skillfully play Liang Zhu, it only took him three days. What surprised Wang Sheng even more was that after Master Yu began to learn to coordinate with both hands, he no longer played any sounds. Instead, his fingers pressed down on the keys in the air, and he could complete the practice process just by relying on his imagination.

This also led to Wang Sheng not hearing the sound of the piano again in the following two days. This made Wang Sheng even more expectant, looking forward to the surprise that Master Yu would bring him.

Rarely, Master Yu didn't continue practicing on the third night. Instead, he ate, bathed, and slept very seriously, sleeping until noon the next day to replenish his energy. After spending an afternoon carefully bathing and changing clothes again, he invited Steward Wang to invite Wang Sheng, Mei'er, and a dozen or so grandmasters to enjoy his piano performance in the evening.

For this reason, Wang Sheng had Steward Wang arrange the entire small courtyard into a music hall in advance. The room where the piano was placed was the stage, and two tables were set up in the courtyard for the audience. Everyone sat down in the courtyard, eagerly waiting to enjoy Master Yu's performance.

When the first sorrowful piano note sounded, everyone seemed to be immediately attracted to the sound, unable to stop themselves.

Listening to the familiar instrument, Wang Sheng closed his eyes, a happy smile on his face.

In order to allow Master Yu to clearly express the emotions contained in the music, Wang Sheng had also specially told Master Yu the story of Liang Zhu. At that time, Mei'er clung to Wang Sheng and insisted on listening to him when he told Master Yu the story of Liang Zhu. Now, hearing the sad and beautiful piano sound, Mei'er's face was tearful not long after it started.

To be honest, the dozen or so grandmasters couldn't actually appreciate Master Yu's wonderful music. Otherwise, Master Yu wouldn't have moved away from the Tian Gong Workshop alone and lived at the foot of the mountain in the suburbs of Beijing. But now, listening to the pleasant piano sound, these grandmasters seemed to be listening to celestial music, which was incomparably wonderful.

No other reason, this piano was the crystallization of the wisdom and hard work of everyone present. Anyone, no matter how much they disliked music, who would hate the music played for the first time by the instrument they made with their own hands?

Wang Sheng's fingers tapped the rhythm lightly on the armrest of the chair, but his eyes remained closed. Listening to the familiar Liang Zhu piano piece in his ears, his consciousness had already flown into the Yuan Soul space.

On the piano key path, only the last grid remained. Now the Yuan Soul was slowly moving forward. Although slow, it never stopped.

The Butterfly Lovers' melody, with Master Yu's skillful hands, finally played to the last part. The makeup on Mei'er's face had long been ruined by crying. The brocade handkerchief was already wet, but she was reluctant to change it, for fear of missing the most exciting performance.

The dozen or so grandmasters listened with rapt attention. Perhaps this was the best piece of music they had ever collaborated on with Old Yu. Everyone was very happy, with smiles on their faces, but they didn't laugh out loud, for fear of disturbing Master Yu's performance.

With Master Yu's heavy tapping of the piano keys, the final movement of Liang Zhu finally arrived. In Wang Sheng's expectation, in Mei'er's tears, and in the satisfaction of the dozen or so grandmasters, Wang Sheng's Yuan Soul finally crossed the last piano key and finished walking the piano key path.
