On the huge ring outside Zhongnan Academy, it was divided into four, and there were four people standing guarding the ring, which were Bai Fan's four new apprentices, Xue Rengui, Wang Xuance, Wu Zhao, and Di Renjie.

There is no referee in this ring, and the people around are all proof, Bai Fan is also standing under the ring, not the audience but with the ladies of the country.

The eldest grandson of the queen opened his mouth and asked: "Jian Zhi, you set up this ring, and the four children above are guarding the four directions, I don't know what the rules are?"

I won't challenge it casually, seeing that child is only five years old, I'm afraid that the words are not good, if someone goes up to test his strength, wouldn't it be a mess? ”

This question is actually helping Bai Fan, Bai Fan said before that as long as he wins any of them, he can enroll, but he didn't say which aspect is better, if someone catches this loophole, how will Bai Fan end?

Bai Fan smiled, turned around and said: "Thank you Second Aunt for bothering, this is simple, the focus of this assessment is to examine qualifications, not only specialties and wisdom, etc., but also character is more important, the direction that the four disciples are good at is written around the ring, if someone bullies the weak regardless of their face, the people are not blind, even if they win, they are grandstanding." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's not too early, you can start, just come forward and challenge, as long as you can prove yourself, even if you can't win, you may be recognized by the academy and allowed to enroll." Bai Fan said to more than a hundred disciples in the audience.

I saw a man in a fancy costume walk out first, saluted respectfully to Bai Fan and the others, and said loudly: "In the lower Taiyuan Wang Wang Bowen, I heard that Dean Bai dared to be the first in the world, and he agreed very much, and today he is willing to throw bricks and lead jade, and try the depth for all the brothers." ”

After this person finished speaking, he strode forward and ran towards Wang Xuance on the stage.

"Wang Bowen? Isn't he the young head of the Taiyuan Wang family? Why did a family like the Taiyuan Wang family also come to enroll? Someone exclaimed.

A passer-by explained: "What's so strange about this, Zhongnan Academy is a holy place in the literary world, the first academy in the world, what about the family?" The family also knows that those who seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, who doesn't want benefits? ”

Bai Fan tilted his head and glanced at the princess of Chu, Wang, who was Li Yuanba's wife, she was born in the Taiyuan Wang family, this Wang Bowen was her second uncle's cousin, and the relationship was very close, but she was already eighteen years old, so she did not meet the admission requirements of the academy.

And he is the most outstanding successor in the clan, if he can be cultivated by the academy, he will definitely have a lot to do in the future, so in the face of Li Yuanba's dissatisfaction, this princess of Chu stood up and made a comeback for the family.

Everyone focused their eyes on the showdown on the stage.

Wang Bowen saluted Wang Xuance and said: "Taiyuan Wang Bowen, I heard that Xuance's virtuous brother is the first prodigy in Luoyang, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, both civil and military, and he also single-handedly picks the academy to assess the thirteen levels, which is really a rare character."

Although the foolish brother is a few years older, he can't compete with Brother Xue over there because he doesn't know martial arts, so he can only take advantage of the virtuous brother a little. ”

Wang Xuance also replied: "Brother Wang has won the award, and there is no one who has learned to be a teacher, how does Brother Wang know that I am inferior to you when I am young?" I wonder how you want to challenge me? ”

The two glanced at each other, and the flames of war ignited in their eyes at the same time, which was a kind of blood from the young man's victory.

"I'm five years older than you, I don't want to take advantage of you, I started learning the piano five years ago, how about you and I have a friend with the piano?" Wang Bowen said.

"Brother Wang's demeanor is admirable, so Xuan Ce has taken advantage, and the younger brother has been learning the piano for eight years."

When everyone below heard it, they all felt that this prince of the Wang family was very big, and the opposite side was the personal disciple of the Bai family, you studied the piano for five years and competed with others for eight years? Isn't that looking for abuse?

Princess Chu Wang was also secretly anxious, why did her cousin do so much if she sacrificed so much?

Bai Fan nodded and smiled: "The family background is different, this demeanor is extraordinary, no matter whether he wins or loses, this kid is superior, not a narrow-minded villain, rare!" ”

In a word, let the people around them think differently, and many people feel that it is already rare to be able to praise Bai Fan, and it seems very promising.

Soon someone brought two identical guqins, and the two began a competition on the stage.

Wang Xuance's piano skills are a kind of light and agile feeling, and Wang Bowen's piano sound is quaint and melodious, typical of ancient music and ancient style.

At first, Wang Xuance had the upper hand in the style of piano art, but as Wang Bowen's qin music gradually entered the country, the latter's quaint and melodious sound gradually began to infect the surroundings, and many people felt that there were only melodious ancient songs in their ears, and no other sounds.

Seeing this situation, Wang Xuance was secretly anxious, he was the first game to start, how could he lose to his opponent? Finger linkage began to play their own stunts, once in Luoyang had the honor to see Bai Fanqin flute and Ming stunts, Wang Xuance for this but three years of hard work, although there is no entry, but it is not without gain.

He learned the mystery of integrating stories into the piano music, and he could make people feel a touching story through the piano music.

Just when Wang Bowen's piano sound infected seventy percent of the audience, Wang Xuance's piano sound gradually entered the artistic conception, and the picture of a naughty boy chasing butterflies appeared in the audience's minds, although the picture was so blurry, but the slightest emotion of the naughty boy was so clearly visible, it was simply empathetic, and for a while, many viewers seemed to have returned to their beautiful childhood, as if they were the naughty boy chasing butterflies.

Bai Fan didn't expect that his disciple still had such a hand, it was really surprising, such a skill, the apprentice Du He had practiced for two years before he achieved something.

Even Wang Bowen, who was on the other side of the ring, was infected by the opponent's music, and when he was stunned, the tune in his hand was half chaotic, and the artistic conception of a song dissipated instantly, and when he forcibly continued, it was already too late.

Sighing helplessly, Wang Bowen stopped the piano music in his hand and changed to a spectator, quietly listening to Wang Xuance playing the piano opposite.

At the end of the song, the audience was thunderous, and the audience was applauding Wang Xuance.

"Jian Zhi's apprentice is different, he learned such a stunt within a few days of apprenticeship." The eldest grandson laughed.

Bai Fan shook his head and explained: "The second aunt is wrong, this is what he would have done, I haven't taught them in the past few days, and I haven't taught anything." ”

"Oh? It seems that this kid is very talented, no wonder you want to take him as an apprentice. ”

The victory and defeat on the stage have been divided, Wang Bowen took the initiative to salute and said: "Xuan Ce's stunt is admired, this time Wang Bowen was defeated, and the matter of enrolling in Zhongnan Academy will be stopped!" ”

Wang Xuance admired the other party's demeanor, and also saluted respectfully: "Brother Wang is very elegant, junior brother admires, in fact, your piano skills learned in five years have surpassed me, and you may be better than me in terms of piano skills."

It was a coincidence that I was able to practice the metaphor in the piano, when the master passed by Luoyang, in the Wanhualou a stunt piano flute and song, I happened to be fortunate to be present at that time, my heart was shocked, and then I was inspired, and finally realized this trick, you are not lost in talent, but lost in the master. ”

When Wang Bowen heard this, he also sighed in his heart, people say that Bai Fan can walk the world with one skill, and this Wang Xuance can benefit from this just as an observer, but he regrets that he does not have this opportunity.

"You were only ten years old back then, you have this understanding at a young age, or I am not as good as you, you don't have to be modest, but unfortunately I have the heart to apprentice but the opportunity is not enough."

After speaking, Wang Bowen clenched his fists again and strode off the field.
