The Qingshui River was about 300 feet wide and crossed several states. It was a tributary of the Qujiang River.
Even if it was night, the ship that held the concert was not the only one on the river.
Occasionally, there would be merchant ships passing by. When they saw this ship, they would all be filled with envy.
In the Leling Continent, the status of musicians could be seen in any field.
"Quge, you said almost. What exactly is almost?”
Zhao Yan, who was overly curious, had already asked many times.
Qu Ge turned a deaf ear to this.
His mind was completely focused on the music hall, comprehending this song called " The Sea."
"You…Why do you like to keep people in suspense?”Zhao Yan stomped her foot and rolled her eyes at Qu Ge.
At this moment, Wang Shan walked over and asked,""Are you confident?"
"I'll do my best."
" I didn't expect that since you dared to be the finale, it's still too early to go back on your word. Wu Ming hasn't started playing yet. You should know that being the finale is also stressful. Under such pressure, it's hard to maintain a calm mind. If anything happens, it might affect your upcoming examination.”
"Thank you, Brother Wang." Qu Ge's eyes were deep and serene." I don't care about the finale or not. It's just a coincidence that it has reached this stage.”
"What do you mean?" Wang Shan was stunned.”
"I have a habit. I like to do things perfectly. I don't want to compromise. Otherwise, my whole body will feel uncomfortable and I won't be able to do anything.”
Wang Shan was speechless for a moment.
He could tell.
Qu Ge was going to suppress everyone.
With a trace of doubt, Wang Shan probed,""To what extent have you mastered this song? Melody? Zhi Le? Or Qu Yi?"
"This song, The Ocean, has no meaning."
Wang Shan's body swayed, and even his voice became sharp.""How did you know?"
Qu Ge didn't reply. Instead, he looked at the surface of the Qingshui River. The waves that were brought up by the flying boat were layer after layer, spreading far away.
"Someone is coming."
"What?"
"I said that someone is coming. The waves are telling me that the person is very fast and his target is the ship. I don't know if he is an enemy or a friend.”
Wang Shan subconsciously looked over, and his pupils suddenly constricted.
In front of them.
A small boat cut through the sky like a sharp sword, approaching rapidly from afar.
Under the moonlight, a few blurry figures could be vaguely seen on the boat.
"How…how did you know?" Wang Shan was puzzled.
Even he, as a musician of Ethereal Opening, did not notice it.
"The sea seems to be unpredictable. The tides rise and fall, but there are veins that can be traced. Just like the waves in the river, they rise because of the boat and surge because of the wind.”
Wang Shan's brows were tightly furrowed. Quge's seemingly nonsensical words had left him confused.
However, Wang Shan suddenly thought of something. His eyes widened and he said in horror,"This song of the sea is only a mid-grade mortal sound. It has no meaning.”
"Indeed, you're right." Qu Ge smiled with satisfaction."Since it doesn't have any melody, I'll give it a melody.”
Wang Shan was stunned.
His expression was like a hallucination.
When he finally calmed down and was about to say something...
The small boat that was like a sharp sword stopped steadily in front of the ship.
Above, someone was using the Thousand Mile Voice Transmission, and it sounded like thunder in spring.
It alarmed everyone on the ship and also interrupted Wu Ming, who was about to perform.
"The first is to understand morality, the second is to sense ghosts and gods, the third is to improve customs, the fourth is to understand the heart, the fifth is to control the tone, the sixth is to be elegant, and the seventh is to be good at imparting knowledge. Wang Shan of the Cloud Sea is just a hypocrite. He deviated from the way of playing the zither and stole other people's music scores with despicable shamelessness. This is a loss of heart. It is immoral to occupy Honglou by force. It is not elegant to do such things in the name of Qu Hui. There are seven examples of playing the piano, and three of them are violated. How dare you talk about music?”
What a ruthless scolding!
If word got out, his reputation would be ruined.
Qu Ge noticed that Wang Shan's eyes were red.
"Cowardly rat, defeated." Wang Shan almost lost his mind. With a wild cry, he took out a musical instrument from the Yuefu without hesitation, a Yao Qin.
Using a special finger technique, he pulled all the strings.
It was like pulling the bowstring when shooting an arrow.
The strings suddenly tightened, producing the sound of swords clashing.
Then, he suddenly loosened his grip.
Everyone only heard a golden ring.
In front of the ship, the calm river water was violently churning, creating a 100-foot splash. It was as if a giant was standing at the bottom of the river and stirring it vigorously.
In the next moment.
The water condensed into thousands of swords and sabers in the air. They glinted coldly and pointed at the boat from afar. They were filled with killing intent. They flashed like a stream of light and arrived in an instant.
If it wasn't blocked, it would only take one breath for the small boat to be riddled with holes by the blades formed from water droplets.
The people on the boat would naturally die.
"Brother Wang, you can't!" The Ethereal Opening musicians on the ship were shocked and wanted to save him.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
The sword flew out without a trace!
They couldn't understand why Wang Shan would suddenly be so stupid.
The best outcome of killing a fellow clansman for no reason was to be sent to the border to resist the demons and barbarians. They would not be able to return unless they died.
The blood-soaked Qingshui River that everyone had imagined did not happen.
The scene in front of them made many people gape.
The countless swords and sabers were about to pierce the small boat when they instantly stopped.
It was as if this space had been completely frozen by some kind of mighty force.
An elegant voice rang out. It was also a Thousand Mile Voice Transmission, but it made the listener feel as if they were bathed in the spring breeze, without a trace of smoke.
"Brother Wang Shan has just entered Ethereal Opening, but you have already mastered the Yishui Sword Song. Congratulations! "I've come here to resolve the grudge between Brother Wang Shan and this good-for-nothing disciple of mine. What I said before violated the rules of etiquette. I will naturally give Brother Wang Shan an explanation. Jing Chuan, you have insulted people and ruined the reputation of music. After returning to the capital, you will be grounded for half a year and study the eighth chapter of the Music Rites as a punishment.”
Shaoqing!
The elegant voice came again." And Brother Wang Shan attacked his own kind without any regard for the law. I also need an explanation. I heard that today's pleasure boat festival will be decided by competition. We will only send one person to fight all the musicians on your Cloud Sea City's ship.”
A soft laugh sounded, followed by a cry.
The swords and sabers that were frozen in the air instantly turned into a drizzle, drifting down without a trace of killing intent.
