Chapter 14 The Bird Drumming Out of the Limelight
The surrounding voices were completely flooded, and Jiuli gradually regained his senses, seeing that he was still at Princess Yinghua's ceremony, and the handsome man in the dark robe next to him looked at him with a frown. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The soul-grabbing sound of the qin continued, but with Ye Shu's spiritual power for himself, Jiu Li did not fall into the sound of the qin as before.
Looking around, in addition to Xuechen and Yunbian, the Seven Princes Qi who had just stood up and spoke, as well as the nine-tailed fox Mu Ke on the opposite table, the masked woman and his party, etc., everyone else at the banquet was indulged in the breathtaking sound of the piano, and the expressions on their faces were painful, sad, remorseful, and joyful.
Ye Shu waved his hand and shot a white light in the air in an unknown direction, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly in a moment.
The people who were still immersed in the sound of the piano recovered their expressions the moment the sound disappeared, and looked around with confused eyes.
Jiuli was shocked, raised his head to look at Ye Shu, and saw that he was also frowning.
Before she could ask about the night, she saw a woman in red floating into the temple. She has a delicate posture, clear eyes, a broken string piano in her hand, and her eyes glance at the direction of the night sparse intentionally or unintentionally.
She flew straight to the table of the monarch of Beidi in the palace, leaned over and pounced on the monarch, and her voice was crisp and loud: "Father, I'm doing well!" ”
The monarch looked at her helplessly, knowing that this daughter of his own was spoiled by himself, and when she wanted to appear in a stunning way, he should have thought that she would not do anything good. But she didn't expect her to be bold enough to tease the guests from all over the world, and before he could stop it, everyone in the palace was already intoxicated by the sound of the piano.
Princess Yinghua saw her father's face sank, stuck out her tongue, turned to the audience and clenched her fists and said boldly: "Little girl Yinghua, thank you very much for coming to celebrate the little girl and Lu, please forgive me for not wanting to offend you." ”
I think she grew up outside the palace since she was a child, and she is not bound by the customs and etiquette in the palace when she speaks. The red dress is bright and moving, which makes the young face more vibrant.
Only then did the people in the audience react, and they all woke up completely from the magic sound of Fang Cai, and they all looked at each other left and right, admiring Yinghua's attainments in the young Qin Se, and feeling the illusion that they were indulging in just now, and they were both amazed and frightened by Yinghua's demagogic qin sound, and they had mixed feelings for a while.
Fortunately, the Seventh Prince Qi stood up and relieved the siege: "The princess is really talented and beautiful, I admire it." ”
Only Jiu Li has not yet recovered from Fang Cai's illusion, just because the scene in the illusion is too clear, as if it is what he has experienced.
The black cloak, the fierce prophecy, the old voice, shouted to break through her last defenses, instilling despair in every cell of her body, so that she could collapse in despair.
Thankfully, it's just an illusion. She muttered to herself in fear.
"The scene of indulging in the sound of the piano is not an illusion created by the sound of the piano," Ye Shu glanced at her silently, "but the real memories of the person who listened to the piano." ”
Ye Shu said that Yinghua's piano sound uses a memory that the listener is most reluctant to touch in the subconscious, and that memory is often connected to the emotions that the person listening to the piano is most likely to touch, once the memory and emotion intersect, people will lose their minds and fall into the illusion created by the memory and cannot extricate themselves.
The most reluctant memory in your subconscious?
Kuri searched carefully in his mind, from the Tokai 10,000 years ago to the stone of Yutani to being rescued from the stone, and there was no memory related to the eerie black cloak.
At least not in my current memory.
Although I don't know how she woke up and was trapped in the rocks, her previous memories in the East China Sea were happy and warm, and there would be no one who might threaten her safety.
Who is she waiting for? Now she is not unaware of the most futile act of waiting. Who will she be waiting for?
Princess Yinghua sat down, and the singer and dancer continued to play the strings, and the change that had caused everyone to panic was turned over quietly. But it also sounded the alarm for the envoys of various countries present, and it is not an easy task to be Princess Yinghua's concubine.
Sure enough, someone who wanted to perform actively stepped forward and said: "All the distinguished guests here are people with unique skills, and it is rare to gather here to participate in the princess's ceremony, why not take this opportunity to show your talents, so as to enjoy Princess Yinghua." ”
Everyone knew that there was such a link, and they were already fully prepared to participate, but now some people have said this proposal, and they all echoed it.
Jiu Li sat in the distance and saw that the monarch also nodded in agreement, but the princess's expression was difficult to distinguish, and a faint sarcastic smile flashed from the corner of her mouth.
Princess Yinghua's hearty voice sounded: "Wouldn't it be a waste if the stunts of your predecessors were displayed casually, why not have a competition to determine the strongest." ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar.
Sure enough, as the fox said, the monarch of Beidi has long been preparing to choose a son-in-law by force, if it is a simple competition of talents, everyone can give full play to their talents at will. If you want to decide the strongest, you must use your talent to convince the competitor to lose, then you can only do this by converging your spiritual power in your talent.
An elegant and delicate duel on the main hall must also be something to look forward to. Everyone was eager to try.
The proposer just now took the lead in standing up, took out a pocket drum from his sleeve and arched his hand to the monarch and princess, and said, "The younger generation is willing to express his feelings with the passionate drum sound." ”
After that, the pocket drum in his hand began to rotate rapidly, and every time he turned to a fixed node, the drum surface vibrated and emitted a colorful streamer, which seemed to have eyes around the main hall, and then returned to the drum surface, and struck on the drum by itself, making a shocking sound.
The crowd applauded the ingenious combination of light and drum, virtual and real.
At the same time, he muttered in his heart, is this little trick?
The pocket drum in the man's hand seemed to be able to see the contempt in the hearts of the people, and gradually grew larger in the rotation room, and finally it became the size of three people hugging, and the drum surface was colorful and exquisite. At some point, there were two more drumsticks in the hands of the drummers, and the left and right drumsticks took turns to hit the drum surface, and the brilliance was splashed for a while.
The strange thing is that the splashed light crackles, and it takes a long time to extinguish when it falls to the ground, and the form is like a spark splashing out of a furnace. The temperature in the main hall also rose in vain at this time, and everyone looked at it, and the splashing light fell on the table, and the corner of the sturdy wooden table was swallowed up in an instant.
Where is the brilliance, it is the real fire.
The mortal fire that Jiu Li has seen has always been mostly red, and the ghost fire of the underworld is slightly more advanced, purple. But I have never seen a colorful fire. If the shock of the drummer's drum just now was just a small bright spot, then now he actually struck out of a drum, or a five-colored fire that people have never heard of, and it can really be regarded as a strange news in the world.
There was a stir in the hall, and everyone bowed their heads and whispered to each other, all deeply shocked by this fantastic firelight.
Jiu Li looked at Ye Shu, only to see that he was just staring down at the teacup in his hand, not knowing what he was pondering.
Jiu Li whispered to himself, "It shouldn't be a real five-color fire." ”
Half paid, Ye Shu said: "The drum made of the feathers of the tassel is the real fire." ”
Jiu Li's eyes widened.
The feathers of the legendary phoenix, the feathers of the whole body have five colors, which are gorgeous and gorgeous. The only drawback is that it does not inherit the ability of the phoenix to be reborn from the fire, but its feathers can make fire, and it is the same multicolored fire as when the phoenix is reborn.
Drummers make drums out of the feathers of the peathers, and it's no wonder that they emit colorful fire.
Seeing that the temperature in the hall was getting higher and higher, the people with low spiritual power had begun to sweat profusely, desperately pouring tea and replenishing water. The drummer became more and more proud, and struck the drum loudly, and the five-colored fire flew lightly in the air.
At this moment, a middle-aged man from the audience flew forward, and he raised his hand to cast an enchantment in the middle of the field, isolating the outside world from him and the drummer. The temperature in the main hall dropped suddenly.
The man untied the white gourd-shaped bottle hanging at his side, reached out and threw it into the air with a wave of his hand, the gourd emitted a glazed halo, and the gourd's mouth was aimed at the drummer, slowly sucking in the five-colored fire he had created.
The man who beat the drum shook and struggled to carry out a new round of more vigorous drumming, and the man who was riding the gourd saw this and slashed his shoulder blade with a palm, he didn't expect him to make this action for a while, he couldn't dodge, and he was chopped back several steps.
The drumming stopped, and the five-colored fire disappeared. The drumming man covered his shoulders and looked resentfully at the person in front of him who had injured him, only to see him slowly put away the gourd in the air, looking at himself with cold eyes.
"Feel free to beat the bird drum in a crowded place to create a five-colored fire. For the sake of his own pleasure, he disregarded the safety of others, and this is how the old king of the Drum Country educated his younger generations. ”
The drumming man was shocked, carefully looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, calm and introverted, and then looked at the jade white glass gourd with a sign on his side, regretting his reckless behavior just now.
Isn't this person the gourd scattered immortal Ning Kou Sheng who wanders in the eight wildernesses? Ning Kousheng has been free and comfortable in the mortal realm all his life, although he has cultivated immortal bones, he disdains the imperial immortals of the heavenly realm, and likes to travel in the mortal realm instead. His iconic treasure is the jade white gourd on his side, which can absorb fire and spit water at will, and even the colorful divine fire can be collected.
The drumming man hurriedly bowed down and saluted, "Junior Xiang Yao didn't know that his predecessor was here, and he offended his predecessor just now, and I ask my seniors to forgive me and don't tell my father about this." ”
Ning Kousheng snorted coldly, ignored him again, and turned back to the banquet.
Although she held the treasure in her hand, she did not make good use of it, and Princess Yinghua on the throne only paid attention to his drum from beginning to end, and did not look at him directly. Xiang Yao was clearly defeated in the first round.
He apologized to the monarch and all those present, and then got up and left the table first.
After the competition just now, Jiuli finally understood that although some of the nobles of the countries present are not as good as her, they more or less have artifacts inherited from the family, and they plan to win the favor of the princess with their unique artifacts, but where is the princess so easy to fool, the princess values the real strength, not the incompetent person who relies on the artifact.
For a while, no one in the seat volunteered to come forward to challenge. While everyone was hesitating, a figure flew into the field.
