In Leling Continent, not everyone dared to hold a music festival.
Without a strong family background, they could not take out the prize. Without enough reputation, the musician would not give him face.
The competition was a necessary part of all music concerts.
It was usually a monetary reward.
Only during important music festivals, such as the Double Ninth Festival, would the government organize such a grand event.
Today's pleasure boat festival was organized by Wang Shan in his own name. Logically speaking, he only needed to take out a few hundred taels of silver. It would not weaken the Wang family's reputation.
However, he chose to be generous and choose a treasure like the Sea Demon Shell as the laurel.
The musicians were so agitated that their faces turned red.
The cold night wind could not extinguish the burning fire in the musicians 'hearts.
The ship sailed along the river.
There was a lamp on the boat, and from afar, it looked like a huge torch burning on the water.
On the boat, there was an endless stream of chatter.
There are good friends who rarely get together and confide in each other about the hardships of hard work and music.
Occasionally, there would be drunkards who would take out their instruments and play randomly. The people around them would cover their flowers and despise them.
There were also a few people who were determined to get the Sea Demon Shells. They didn't drink a drop of alcohol and tried their best to keep their heads clear to fight for the championship.
Qu Bao was one thing, but this was also a great opportunity to make a name for himself.
On the third floor of the ship.
The incense was lit, and the faint fragrance that spread in the air made people's hearts calm.
Compared to the restlessness downstairs, this place was much more peaceful.
However, the soundproofing of the ship was not very good. The drunken man's chaotic voice invaded the atmosphere.
"Who played it? It's extremely unpleasant to hear.”
Wu Ming frowned and took out a musical instrument from his Yuefu. It was a flute. The flute was glowing and emitting a jade-like light.
In an instant.
The sound of the flute stopped instantly.
It wasn't a tune, it wasn't music, it wasn't even a melody, it was just a note.
It only lasted for a breath.
However, just as the flute sounded, a musical note flew out from one of the flute holes. The musical note was profound and soon turned into the word 'still', slowly dissipating.
Instantly, the noise downstairs disappeared without a trace.
After that, Wu Ming put the flute back into the music hall. He was expressionless, as if he had just done something trivial.
Some of the people present were not surprised.
He was still chatting and laughing.
" This should be a simple use of music. This flute sound…is the Shifting Stars of the Heavenly Constellation Thirty-Six Sounds, the Dream of Marriage of the Earth Fiend Seventy-Two Sounds. As for the more microscopic and mysterious music waves, I can only hear a rough idea. I can't be sure, and there's nothing I can do about it. Unless I reach Ethereal Opening and have the ability to intercept the wave band and draw the musical notes, I can then reverse analyze the fundamental music meaning of this flute sound. And I haven't even started playing yet.”
Qu Ge thought to himself, then picked up another piece of osmanthus cake.
It had to be said that the desserts were indeed not bad.
"Amazing!" Wang Hai smacked his lips. I can tell. It doesn't seem difficult.”
"And then?" Wu Ming asked with a smile.”
"Then what?" Wang Hai was stunned.
"Ignorant and incompetent, don't make a fool of yourself.”Wang Shan shouted softly. Then, he stood up and took out a blue shell that was less than an inch in size. He said,"Everyone, this is the Sea Demon Shell."
Everyone's attention was attracted.
Wang Shan placed the Sea Demon Shells on the table. There was a hint of reluctance in his eyes, but it only flashed for a moment. Then, he said in a clear voice,"If you want the song treasure, you have to win the crown. Tonight, I want to see who has the fate to have this item. Junior Qu Ge, the Chuming exam is coming up. This Sea Demon Shell will be of great use to you. You have to give it your all in the competition later.”
"Brother Wang, you must be joking. I'm just a mere Meng Sheng. How would I dare to compete with the musicians?”
It was undeniable that he wanted to, but the reality was right in front of him. There were Chuming, Mystical Theory, and several Ethereal Opening musicians. Even if the Ethereal Opening musicians did not compete, Qu Ge was still several levels away from Mystical Theory. How could he win?
"An ordinary Meng Sheng naturally wouldn't be able to do it, but Quge, you have the Guqin's guts bestowed by the heavens, so you must have something extraordinary about you.”The second young master of the City Lord's Mansion continued,"There are very few music competitions in the music competition. It is mainly based on elegant music. Basically, it is to determine the tone, listen to the color, play the music, and compose the score. I wonder what method Brother Wang plans to use for tonight's competition?”
Wang Shan looked at the night sky and saw that it was almost time. He said bluntly,"In the music competition, the crown should be decided by the performance.”
Some people were happy and some were sad.
"Wang Shan, are you deliberately targeting me? In order to become famous today, I've been neglecting my meals and sleep recently and finally finished composing the new song on the approaching day. From the time I occasionally felt it to the time I finished composing the song, I've spent several months and put in a lot of effort. I'm just a little bit away from transforming ordinary music into profound music. If I were to continue singing it, it would definitely become a strange sound in at most three years. Now you're telling me that we don't want to compete with the score?”
"Hahaha…Brother Zhang Yuan, there's no need to be angry. Such an excellent piece of music will naturally be reserved for more important music competitions in the future.”
"Xu Ming Yang, don't be too proud. You've always thought that your zither skills are superb. Your innate absolute musical sense has made you look down on everything. You don't know that no matter how talented you are, you still need to study hard. Otherwise, your talent will be exhausted sooner or later. None of the people present today were mediocre. Don't think that your chances of winning are guaranteed.”
Xu Ming Yang's expression changed.
What Zhang Yuan said was the truth, but he was unwilling to admit it.
Now that he was exposed in public, Xu Mingyang said angrily,"There's no need for Brother Zhang Yuan to worry. If you want this Sea Demon Shell, you have to defeat me first.”
"Stop arguing, both of you. This Qu Bao is mine.”
"Let's not talk too much. Who else wants to compete?”
"Who else but me."
"I also intend to move."
"No way! The Ethereal Opening musicians are bullying people?"
"Who said that Ethereal Opening couldn't participate?”Wu Ming's expression didn't even change.
Competition had always been filled with the smell of gunpowder, but it was only between gentlemen.
The reason was because of his fame.
Of course, there was also a prize.
There was no need to say much about the significance of reputation in the Leling Continent. The size of the stake also determined the intensity of the gunpowder.
A song treasure, and a rare one at that. Even these scions would be tempted.
"Brother Qu, are you participating?" Wang Hai asked.
"Let's take a look first."
The atmosphere began to rise. Wang Shan was very satisfied with this result and signaled Wu Ming to cancel the note.
Wu Ming simply waved his sleeve.
The noise downstairs came up again.
Wang Shan took a step forward and mobilized his curved qi. He used the Thousand Mile Voice Transmission that only Mystical Theory could use.
Instantly, his voice drowned out everything, resonating throughout the entire ship and reaching everyone's ears.
"The music competition begins now."
