Utrecht, Netherlands.

It is an important hub in the Dutch transport system, and although it is one of the four largest cities in the Netherlands, the old town still retains its scenery unchanged for hundreds of years, and there is a quiet and calm atmosphere everywhere.

For pianists and lovers of the art of piano, the city has another special significance: the location of the Liszt Maestro Cup International Piano Competition.

In 1986, in memory of the Hungarian composer and pianist Franz? On the 100th anniversary of Liszt's death, the first International Franz Liszt Piano Competition was held in Utrecht. Since then, the tournament has been held every three years.

Like the Chopin Masters International Piano Competition, the competition revolves around a single composer and the repertoire consists entirely of Piano Works by Liszt. The contest stipulates that the participants must be between the ages of 17 and 29. The competition is now a member organization of the World Federation of International Music Competitions, and has a good reputation and wide influence in the international classical music community.

If you are not an ordinary person who specializes in piano music, you may have heard of Beethoven's name, but you are not so familiar with the names of Li Si and Chopin. In fact, in terms of achievements in the field of piano art alone, Liszt and Chopin are giants, and their works are as famous as Beethoven in terms of quantity and quality!

As for why Beethoven is more famous than these two pianists, the reason is simple. Not because of his piano work, but because of a symphony. When it comes to this, many people may already know which work it is, yes, it is "Symphony of Destiny". It is this famous song, which is well known all over the world, that has achieved Beethoven's name as a saint.

Got off the plane. Chu Yang waved a taxi to stop. Wan'er, who came with him, stopped a taxi in fluent English, and the two of them immediately got in.

"Go to the President Carlton Hotel, thank you!" After getting into the car, Wan'er said to the driver in proficient English.

"OK, beautiful young lady. We're here to help! The driver is a middle-aged uncle in his forties, wearing a casual plaid shirt, very talkative, after starting the car, he kept introducing the local customs to the two people, in fact, mainly to Wan'er.

"You're here to travel, let me guess, you're from the island?" When the driver passes by a traffic light, he takes advantage of the time to stop. He asked with a smile on his face.

"Huaxia people." Wan'er corrected his mistake in time.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I know that there are some contradictions between your two countries. The driver explained apologetically.

"It's okay, we're not here for tourism, I'm here to accompany my boyfriend to the competition." Wan'er smiled and shook her head, indicating that she didn't mind.

"Competitions? Is it the Liszt Masters Cup? Hearing the word competition, the driver immediately became excited, and at the same time, there was a sense of pride in his expression.

"Yes, it's this game." Wan'er smiled and nodded.

"Oh. It turns out that I have a great pianist in my car today. Really lucky, good luck to your boyfriend. It's enviable to have such a beautiful girlfriend as you! The driver said, seeing that the traffic light in front of him turned green again, and drove the car out again.

"Thanks, do you like piano music too?" Wan'er looked at the driver uncle and asked.

"Of course I do. Everyone in the city loved it, and they could even recite the name of each of Liszt's works, and they could tell which piece it was just by listening to a few notes. It's a city of music, and people everywhere else know only Vienna. But what they don't know is that it's just as much an art city as Vienna......"

Talking about the piano, the driver was interested again, and he kept talking along the way. Obviously, the Liszt Masters Cup is held here, which is something he is very proud of.

It's only natural that world-class piano events such as the Liszt Masters Cup are like the Olympics in sports. Such a small city can be famous all over the world, almost all because of this competition, how can they not be proud. Moreover, the Olympic Games are not held in one country every time, but need to be rotated. However, this is the only designated city for the Liszt Masters Cup, and the venue has never changed every four years!

One can imagine how much impact the Liszt Masters Cup will have on the city after so many years! Even an ordinary taxi driver can be familiar with Liszt's classics, and this is the power of music.

Speaking of the beginning, the driver opened the CD on the car, and the music coming out of it was Liszt's piano works.

"Look, this is one of my favorite CDs. Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6 is also played by you Chinese, the great pianist Lang! God, I love his playing so much, always so passionate, always so vivid! I heard that he is also coming to participate in this Masters Cup, can you help me get a signed CD when you meet him? The driver said.

"Okay, if we see him, we'll tell him about it. However, my boyfriend is very powerful, and the one you like may not be able to win the championship. Wan'er said with a grin.

"Oh? Are you sure? Then I'm looking forward to your wonderful performances, I've already bought tickets for the preliminaries and finals, and I'll be going to listen to your boyfriend play live when the time comes, and there are many top pianists from all over the world, oh my God, I can't wait! The driver said, unconsciously raising the speed of the car, as if to express his excitement.

The car quickly stopped in front of the hotel. Wan'er paid the fare and tips, and walked out of the car with Chu Yang.

"What did you just talk to the driver about?" Chu Yang took the luggage in Wan'er's hand and asked with some curiosity.

This time, he only brought Wan'er alone, and the others were busy with their own things, although they also said that they would accompany him, but Chu Yang still let them stay in Huaxia. The birth of Leshenmen is imminent, and these girls will be the core strength of Leshenmen, during this time. Their strength can be improved a little bit. Chu Yang was not arrogant enough to think that his Le Shen Sect would become the most powerful force in the world. Perhaps for him personally, the force in this world can no longer threaten him, but it is only limited to this Cheng dù. Others, far from reaching such a journey!

Chu Yang had also considered the series of consequences of the high-profile appearance, but now time is limited. He was no longer allowed to drag it out. Whether it was the wisp of divine thought that he had killed in Qingcheng at the beginning, or the small troubles caused to him by the successive appearance of several loose cultivators, he realized that this world was far from being as peaceful as it seemed on the surface. Chu Yang doesn't like these unstable factors, since this is the case, it is better to simply pick things out and force those forces that are still in the shadows to appear!

When it came to the distraction period, the Le Shenmen was born, which was also part of Chu Yang's plan for a long time. Whether it's to find your own master or not. Whether he continues to improve his Leshen cultivation or not, it is destined that he will not be able to keep a low profile forever. When the ultimate power of this world could not effectively kill him, it was the moment when he was born on a high profile!

As for why he brought Wan'er here, the reason is also very simple: Chu Yang's English is too rubbish. Although learning a foreign language was not too difficult for him, Chu Yang felt that there was no need to waste energy on such a trivial matter. Even in order to read those foreign piano literature, Chu Yang had put some effort into it, but it was limited to reading on paper. In terms of spoken language, he's a mess of garbage!

It just so happens that Wan'er doesn't have anything to do at school now. Moreover, her cultivation has been stuck in the late stage of foundation building for a long time, Chu Yang decided to take her out to relax, and by the way, she acted as a translator for herself. He has experience in cultivating this kind of thing, and sometimes he reaches a certain bottleneck and cannot forcibly break through. Relax and rest for a while, and it is possible to achieve better results.

"Let's talk about the Masters Cup. This guy is an admirer of Lang Lang and wants to ask me to help him sign the CD, so I told him that my boyfriend is a pianist who is even better than Lang Lang. I'm going to win the championship. Wan'er said with a mischievous smile.

"So confident in me?" Chu Yang said half-jokingly.

"Of course, my husband is a fairy, a fairy who learns music. The game between the gods and mortals, of course, the gods will win. Wan'er said with a smile.

Listening to Wan'er's words, Chu Yang smiled noncommittally, and slowly walked towards the hotel with her, but suddenly said: "Wan'er, in this competition, I will not retain my strength and go all out, it will definitely cause a certain amount of chaos at that time." This is the inevitable consequence of the birth of the Le Shen Gate. It's just that when the time comes, you will definitely be affected to a certain extent, maybe all the bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods will jump out, I can't always be by your side, you guys have to be more careful! ”

After listening to Chu Yang's words, Wan'er said with a smile: "Don't worry, when the time comes, I will pull these wives of yours to our old man's villa, which is the most heavily guarded place in Huaxia, so you should rest assured." ”

Hearing Wan'er's words, Chu Yang smiled and said, "I have asked Nan Huaizi to buy a small island in the Pacific Ocean, and now the construction has begun. When the infrastructure is completed, I'll put some big bans on the island, and then I'll take you all over, and it will be the safest place!" ”

When Chu Yang said this, his expression revealed an incomparably confident color! His words are not unfounded. Wan'er's grandfather is also one of the veterans of Huaxia, and he enjoys the same level of security as Mr. Li Tugen. Chu Yang often went to see Li Tugen, and he already knew this set of methods. It should be said that for the conventional means of attack in this world, this set of security plans is indeed impregnable, but for him, it is completely useless. If Chu Yang really had bad intentions, he could have beheaded him directly without alarming any guards! This has been confirmed as early as when he entered the secret base of the Dragon's Tooth Special Forces. After the incident, Dragon's Tooth provided a detailed analysis to the country's highest security department, and finally came to the conclusion that unless the means of using the same end and directly bombing with a large-yield nuclear bomb, it would be impossible for any defense in the world to resist the assassination of this man. No, it should be said that it is a clear kill!

Fortunately, Chu Yang is on the side of the country, which makes several bigwigs somewhat relieved. If this were not the case, I am afraid that they would have ruined Miè Chu Yang at all costs, even though the cost made them almost unbearable!

Regarding the establishment of the Leshen Gate, Chu Yang also thought about it for a long time. At first, he was going to put the site in China, but after discussing with several women and Nan Huaizi and others, everyone still agreed that it was safer to buy an independent island overseas alone. After all, although the relationship between Chu Yang and the country is still in the honeymoon period, if the Leshenmen is born, the nature will be different. No one can predict what kind of influence this sect will reach. But one thing is certain: the Leshenmen will definitely become the most influential sect of all time. Even though it is not a religion, it will give rise to a religion-like spiritual belief in the future!

And an organization of this size, placed in the country, will the government allow it? Although Chu Yang had already received a promise from the state, he still couldn't take this risk! It's not that he is really afraid of the country's means of force, with his current strength, if it really develops to the point of using force, it must not be him who suffers heavy losses! But Chu Yang couldn't watch a large number of innocent ordinary civilians being swept in, in his opinion, these people would all be potential believers of his Leshenmen in the future.

Therefore, after some careful discussion, Chu Yang decided to follow the practice of many wealthy people and directly buy a small island in the Pacific Ocean and transform it into the "base" of Leshenmen.

After some comparison and selection, he finally chose a small island with an area of more than 20 square kilometers in the northern Pacific Ocean, and spent nearly a billion dollars on it. Money is just a symbol for Chu Yang now, and in his opinion, it is a very cost-effective thing to buy land with this ordinary currency.

The construction part Chu Yang completely threw it to Nan Huaizi. Anyway, this old man is very keen on the affairs inside the door now, and Chu Yang thinks that if the Leshen Gate is really established in the future, this old man will be a very good housekeeper.

"Well, I know you're amazing, my husband is the best person in the world, good boy, let's go to the game!" Wan'er said with a grin.

She was in a very good mood, and she could finally have a separate opportunity to "occupy" Chu Yang alone. In her opinion, the competition was more like a vacation trip.

"Huh? How did he end up here? As soon as Chu Yang and Wan'er walked into the lobby of the hotel, they saw a familiar figure. (To be continued......)
