Chapter 285: Friend or Rival (2-in-1)
Wen Sheng's expression today can be described as an evil sect.
Who said that she had no attack power, and that she could beat Lu Xuan to faint directly?
This morning, she abused Jiang Huan, who had been ranked first in the past, and cleanly defeated Lu Xuan, who was firmly in the top five, which was going to turn the sky upside down.
There will be an hour's break at noon, and before that, Tan Lao Guoshi announced the two people who were out of the second round.
Somewhat unexpectedly, these two people were neither Lu Xuan who was injured and could not continue to compete, nor Jiang Huan, who lost one game after another, but Ge Bin and An Minxue.
However, Mr. Tan's decision must have its profound meaning.
Everyone thought about it carefully, isn't it, even if Lu Xuan can't make a move in the future, at least he did his best in this round, and his appearance is not too bad.
Ge Bin was defeated by Wen Hongxue, that was a lack of strength, as for An Minxue, he was also a frequent visitor to the second or third place before, but today he lost two games in a row quietly, and everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Huan, Lu Xuan, Gu Wensheng and others, and they really ignored him. Unlike Jiang Huan, he was out of shape from the beginning today.
Among the remaining six people, Lu Xuan is determined to miss the top three, and everyone feels that as long as Jiang Huan can recover in the afternoon, Old Master Tan should still be optimistic about him as the captain.
Everyone dispersed to eat and rest, and the high-profile Wen Sheng followed the master back to Lejun Hall to change clothes.
The waiter had already finished the meal, and it was cold at this time, Wen Sheng looked at it and had no appetite, and said to Bian Qingchuan: "Master, eat first, I'll go sleep for a while." ”
Bian Qingchuan also saw that Wen Sheng was not very energetic since the battle with Lu Xuan, and waved her to go and rest.
Wen Sheng went back to the house and lay down. I felt a throbbing pain in my head, and I fell asleep in a daze.
She was woken up by a waiter's knock on the door and sat up. For a long time, I didn't reflect whether it was day or night, and where I was.
The waiter said respectfully through the door: "Miss Gu, Mr. Bian said that the time is not early, you should get up, and there will be a few more competitions in the afternoon." ”
Wen Sheng answered, and heard a familiar "crackling" sound outside the window.
No wonder the light is so dim, it turns out that the rain outside has not stopped.
Wen Sheng washed his face. The person was a little more awake, and the sleep relieved the discomfort of her and Lu Xuan's battle, and her head didn't hurt so much.
She opened the door. He walked out wiping his face with a handkerchief, thinking about whether to drink a bowl of porridge and eat it under his feet.
There was one more person in the outroom, standing in front of the window with his back to her.
Although it is the back. But Wen Sheng didn't need to look at it at a second glance to recognize it: Zhong Tianzheng.
He changed into a dark blue soft satin jacket. The silver hairband hung low, the sleeves of the dress were very wide, and the hand was raised to reveal the fingertips, and only a part of the hole flute could be seen when the hand was lowered.
"Ah Zheng, have you been here for a long time? Have you eaten it? Wen Sheng took the initiative to say hello.
Zhong Tianzheng turned around and looked Wen Sheng up and down, with unmistakable concern on his face: "What's the matter, were you also injured in the battle with Lu Xuan?" ”
Wen Sheng didn't hide it: "It's a little." It's much better, though. ”
Zhong Tianzheng raised his eyebrows: "Even if you have to fight like this?" ”
Wen Sheng didn't care much: "What is this, don't forget the bet we made." ”
Zhong Tianzheng's eyes flickered. He paused and turned his face out the window.
Wen Sheng was not used to him suddenly becoming so silent, he went over to stand behind him, and looked at him with his probe: "What are you looking at?" ”
"Look at the rain. Just now I told myself, if the rain still doesn't stop during the afternoon race, I can beat you and Hua Feizhou and win the first place. ”
"Really?" Wen Sheng glanced at him in surprise.
Fighting in the rain is obviously beneficial to himself.
The expression on Zhong Tianzheng's face looked a little unfathomable.
Wen Sheng didn't pay much attention to it, turned around and went to the kitchen to drink porridge, then rinsed his mouth, went back to the house to get "Taiping", and beckoned Master and Zhong Tianzheng to leave.
Fighting in the rain in the morning, Zhong Tianzheng was prepared at this time, he brought two oil silk robes, one with Wen Sheng and one to cover outside, and then put on a big hat, and it would not be a problem to rain for an hour or two, so that Jiang Huan's mistake would not be repeated.
When she arrived at the Tongle Stage, Wen Sheng found that she had patronized and rested at noon, and it turned out that not only Zhong Tianzheng, Hua Feizhou and Jiang Huan had similar responses, one by one, wearing hats and hats, blocking them tightly.
Lu Xuan also came, the situation looked very good, out of courtesy, Wen Sheng went over to greet and apologize, Lu Xuan shook his head with a pale face.
The sky was overcast, and the rain seemed to be still falling, and there were far fewer people on the lively street of Xuanyin Pavilion across the wall than in the previous two days.
As soon as Mr. Tan arrived with his two sons, he announced that the competition would continue.
The further you go, the less room you have to choose.
This round of Lu Xuan is injured, regardless of whether he plays or not, the elimination is a foregone conclusion.
Everyone deliberately avoided him, Wen Hongxue chose Wen Sheng, Zhong Tianzheng chose Jiang Huan, and the rest of Hua Feizhou and Lu Xuan were from the North Courtyard, Lu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, took the initiative to withdraw, and sent Hua Feizhou further.
Wen Sheng also breathed a sigh of relief.
Among the remaining people, Wen Hongxue is undoubtedly the weakest, and she also wants to rest for a while, recuperate, and then face off against Hua Feizhou and Zhong Tianzheng.
As a person who was in the limelight in the morning, Wen Sheng spent more than an hour to win Wen Hongxue, which is really ordinary in the eyes of many spectators, and even a little unfazed.
They wanted to see Jiang Huan and Zhong Tianzheng fight.
As early as when Zhong Tianzheng comprehended the fourth level of the Miaoyin Eight Methods at a learning speed that others could not match, everyone realized that there must be a battle between the old and the new.
Now the two of them have met, but it is not a glorious battle for the top spot. This is mainly because of Jiang Huan, today he is shining brightly, he lost two games in a row, and this battle with Zhong Tianzheng will he lose the third game?
Jiang Huan's heart was full of fighting spirit at the moment.
The atmosphere in the South Courtyard has always been loose and free, and Zhong Tianzheng is a student of the dean, Mr. Tan Er, and Tan Linghui's husband is a candidate for Tan Linghui's husband, and there are also many people who flock to Zhong Tianzheng to learn new music.
He had already heard the talk that Zhong Tianzheng would soon replace him.
Musicians, you still have to speak with strength.
Morning. He lost to Gu Wensheng and Hua Feizhou, not because he was not strong. It's that he hasn't adjusted his mentality.
This heavy rain made Gu Wensheng's unique skills appear in the rain, which made him mess up, and then asked Hua Feizhou to pick up the cheap, but after this noon, if he thought that these would still affect him, it would be too much to underestimate him.
Old Tan Guoshi kept him round by round. What a deep expectation was placed on him, if he didn't do his best to win this game, what kind of face would he stand in front of his old man and listen to the teachings!
He took "Naruyama" to the field. Sit down steadily, like an old monk in a fixed place, he didn't look at Zhong Tianzheng much.
When it started, Jiang Huan used his housekeeping skills as soon as he came up. Eight fingers like a dream bubble. Bumping up and down, plucking and rolling, making the seven strings vibrate at the same time, and then set off a thunder and lightning storm on the same music platform.
If an uninformed person closes his eyes and listens to the sound of the guqin at this moment, he will not believe that this is played by a person at all.
Several melodies are staggered high and low, coming and going together, it is a pinch, it is a close. It is to make the other party besieged and captured.
The musicians leaned forward. Regardless of the rain drenching his head and face, the person on the stage was wearing a hat and couldn't see his face, the sound of the piano and this momentum made people think it was another Mr. Tan Si in a trance.
But what is even more surprising is Zhong Tianzheng.
In the face of Jiang Huan's terrifying performance, Zhong Tianzheng was equivalent to fighting with six or seven musicians with eight wonderful sounds and four methods at the same time, he was not defending, but attacking the other party, attacking instead of defending!
The piano has seven strings, and each string can make its own tune.
Zhong Tianzheng's hole flute only has six sound holes on it.
With one tone to seven tones, Zhong Tianzheng's secret is fast!
It was as if he didn't need to breathe at all, and his breath flowed freely between his chest and abdomen, inexhaustible.
All the qi tremor sounds in the flute music have to use the power of the abdomen, and it is difficult to control it to be very precise, this problem is a headache for all the musicians who use the flute and flute, in Zhong Tianzheng's case, it is like an innate talent, wonderful to the peak, but it is lightly swept by, it is really breathtaking!
Because it was fast enough, he omitted an unnecessary gap so that his flute could be confronted by the opponent.
Just listening to the "bang", "bang", "bang", the air is like popping beans, the sound waves collide one after another, and the rain explodes, turning into a cloud of white mist.
This scene is too shocking, in terms of age, Zhong Tianzheng is thirty years younger than Jiang Huan, and the future is terrifying!
With such skill and such talent, it is no wonder that he can rise in such a short period of time.
Wen Sheng stared at the fierce confrontation between the two, but he was thinking in his heart, including Old Master Tan, everyone had miscalculated Zhong Tianzheng, his talent was good, but he could do this, what really worked was his profound internal strength.
Jiang Huan felt the pressure from his opponent.
Since he won the first place in the individual battle a few years ago, he has never been so eager for victory as he is now, and the surging blood in his body at this moment makes him feel a little strange, he can, break free......
Suddenly, Jiang Huan felt a lightness on his body, and the sudden feeling of pleasure made him almost want to look up to the sky and howl.
Mr. Tan Da said happily: "Okay, it's broken!" ”
Mr. Tan Er regretted that he didn't say anything, Jiang Huan's breakthrough meant that he was the first to enter the fivefold realm, and Zhong Tianzheng, who was still evenly matched with him at this moment, was naturally not an opponent.
It's a pity that the apprentice played so well!
But Mr. Tan Er has just changed his mind, and the situation on the same stage has changed.
Jiang Huan had just broken through, and before he could make a move, Zhong Tianzheng's sleeve moved, and there was a "bang", and the position where the white mist exploded was too close to "Mingshan", almost under Jiang Huan's fingers.
Jiang Huan didn't notice anything wrong, and the three fingers of his right hand, the middle finger, and the index finger were connected together, and the right side of the name finger was next to the string, ready to win the game with a style of "vibrating the rope ringing bell".
As he picked, picked, and picked, the overtones of the seventh, sixth, and fifth strings did not sound with it.
Jiang Huan hurriedly looked down, only two of the seven strings of "Mingshan" were still intact, and the remaining five strings were broken at some point.
In fact, with Jiang Huan's skills, he would have known that only two strings were left intact on the piano, and he could still play the tune, and he might even beat Zhong Tianzheng to victory.
But this change came too suddenly, just when he broke through, Jiang Huan stared at the remnant string in a daze, and he didn't react at all, he just sat stupidly like that, until he was beaten out by Zhong Tianzheng.
There was an uproar in the audience.
What happened? Why did such a powerful Jiang Huan lose again?
Jiang Huan was still sitting there and didn't come back to his senses, Zhong Tianzheng stood up and said very politely: "Senior Brother Jiang, accept it." ”
The two deans on the main examination seat were a little speechless, even Mr. Tan Er didn't feel happy when he saw his disciple win.
The two looked at each other, and suddenly turned to Old Master Tan together: "Father, stay in Jianghuan to continue the next round." ”
Old Master Tan shook his head slightly: "But one can be two, not three or four." Continuing to the next round, he has already played against the other three, even if he wins, how can he convince the public? ”
Only then did the two deans think that if Jiang Huan was left, it would be Wen Hongxue who would be eliminated, and the remaining Hua Feizhou, Wen Sheng and Zhong Tianzheng would all fight against Jiang Huan as Tan Lao Guoshi said, and they all won one game first, and it would be really difficult to do it next.
Old Master Tan sighed: "Heaven's will is so, let's get here." ”
Sometimes, a setback isn't necessarily a bad thing for him.
Later, Tan Lao Guoshi announced that Lu Xuan and Jiang Huan were eliminated in this round. provoked a sigh of regret from the audience, and everyone felt that Jiang Huan's luck today was too bad.
Among the remaining four people, Wen Hongxue has lost to Zhong Tianzheng and Gu Wensheng successively, and the shape is obvious, the top three are Hua Feizhou, Zhong Tianzheng and Wen Sheng.
As for who among the three will be the captain, we will not know until we have beaten it.
Of course, the teachers who are old and serious hope that Hua Feizhou can serve as the teacher, but the students who have learned Xinle are more convinced of Zhong Tianzheng, as for Wen Sheng, at this time, there are fifty people who are willing to obey her, Zhuo Xuan, barely one.
In the fourth round, Hua Feizhou fought against Wen Hongxue.
When the two of them were fighting, Wen Sheng and Zhong Tianzheng stood by the same music platform and waited.
There was no one else around, Wen Sheng frowned and asked quietly, "What the hell did you do just now?" ”
I don't know if Zhong Tianzheng felt that denial was useless, or wanted to use it to scare Wen Sheng and increase her psychological burden, he raised his arm lightly, stretched out his fingers from under his heavy long clothes, and twisted a few slender fingers as jade: "What do you say?" ”
Wen Sheng was displeased and snorted.
Zhong Tianzheng said softly: "As I said, if the rain still doesn't stop during the afternoon race, I can defeat you and Hua Feizhou and win the first place." ”
At this time, Hua Feizhou won the victory almost without much effort, and Wen Hongxue happily admitted defeat, looking convinced.
There was some commotion in the crowd, and the next ones to play were Zhong Tianzheng and Gu Wensheng, who entered the Xuanyin Pavilion in the same year.
They were rivals, and all along, they were friends.
Zhong Tianzheng glanced at Wen Sheng: "Let's go, don't forget about your and my bet." ”
He took the stage first and sat down on either side of Wen Sheng. (To be continued......)
