Chapter 18 The second test is fierce, and the birds are singing
On the second day, Long Fuzhi saw Mo Fei holding his waist with a painful look on his face, and asked her what was wrong, Mo Fei shook his head, saying that it was all the master's fault.
The two walked into the arena, saw the crowd, there were more people watching the competition today than yesterday, everyone was discussing yesterday's competition, I never expected the piano competition to be so intense, the master is like a cloud, I don't know if today's competition is more exciting.
Hearing his name being talked about by everyone repeatedly, Long Fuzhi was a little uncomfortable, at this time, several elders of the dragon clan came to meet him, they saw Long Fuzhi, and the leading elder patted him on the shoulder affectionately, praising his performance yesterday, another elder stroked his beard and said that Meng Yan played better, and a fat elder argued that Long Fuzhi played better.
When they were arguing, Meng Yan came over and greeted the elders, the elders nodded, realizing that they couldn't lose their sense of proportion in front of the juniors, and turned to leave.
"Want to run?" Chu squinted his eyes, and the scarlet acne marks on his face made people look disgusting.
"What a bold man dares to splash horse manure on Meng Yan, are you underwhelmed!" The dwarf Yu clenched his fists and gestured viciously at Mo Fei.
"Put your fists down." Meng Yan scolded the manic teenager, turned around and walked to Mo Fei, and looked at the girl in front of him intently, "Why is this like this to me?" ”
"You deserve because you have hurt many times, and you have not repented." Murphy raised his head and glared back without showing weakness.
"You dare to be our enemy, you are worthy of being Long Fuzhi's stupid daughter-in-law." The pig who had been silent laughed sinisterly.
"Didn't you mean to annoy me and make me look at you differently?" Meng Yan showed a puzzled expression, he had always thought that she was pretending to be reserved, just to get his attention, since he was born, no one had dared to treat him like this.
"Hmph, it's true that I'm annoying you, but it's not to please you, but ...... I'm upset when I see you. Mo Fei's words turned Meng Yan from disbelief to uncontrollable anger.
"I'll make you regret it." Meng Yan's face was so gloomy that it made people shudder.
"Murphy, don't be afraid, I'm here." Long Fuzhi used his chubby little hand to hold the girl next to him whose palms were cold.
"I'm not afraid, one day we will become stronger, so strong that they don't dare to bully us." Mo Fei turned his head, the firmness in his eyes infected Long Fuzhi, and he nodded.
The second round of the competition is about to begin, the Dragon King of the East China Sea announced the rules of the competition, yesterday's competition is to test the basic skills of each candidate, today's competition is to test how they protect themselves with the sound of the piano as a shield in the face of danger, this competition is not only a test of piano skills, but also a test of cultivation.
Twenty candidates came on the field at the same time, sitting in a fan shape, and the candidates were puzzled by the content of this round of competition, not knowing what the danger was in the mouth of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, but judging from the solemn and serious expressions of the four dragon kings and Yuye Xingjun when they talked sideways on the main stage, this would be a difficult competition to deal with.
With a piercing gong beating, the second competition kicked off.
There was no movement, the whole examination room was deadly silent, no one spoke, only the sound of the wind blowing in his ears. The crowd in the stands didn't know why, and began to whisper, what the hell is going to be tested.
Twenty candidates began to fidget, the quieter they were, the more they could feel the turbulent waves behind the quiet, even Meng Yan, who had always been calm, was a little impetuous, he stretched out his right hand that he had been clenching, and sweat was already overflowing in his palm, this wet feeling was uncomfortable.
He looked around and saw that every candidate had a wary look on his face, except for the young man who was directly opposite him a few feet away, Long Fuzhi looked at a place in the stands with a smirk on his face, and followed his gaze Meng Yan saw her, why were there so many women in the stands, he could see her at a glance in the crowd, but when he thought of what she said to him just now, Meng Yan's hands on the lyre slowly clenched.
The ground suddenly began to shake, accompanied by the sound of chains dragging from far and near, what was it, everyone held their breath nervously, and looked in the same direction. When a beast several feet tall, shaped like a wolf, with red fur, fangs on its face, and fierce eyes appeared in front of him, not only all the candidates present turned pale with fright, but even everyone in the stands gasped.
Yuye Xingjun's voice sounded, this beast's name is 獦狕, born in the mountain of the north horn, fierce by nature, eat your own female beast when you become an adult, the time of this competition is a stick of incense, who is still in this arena after a stick of incense, even if the winner of this round, he paused, and then said that this competition has a certain danger, if any candidate can not hold on, he can abstain, but at the same time lose the qualification for the third round of the competition.
After listening to Yu Ye's words, the candidates looked at the beast in front of them in horror, and then looked at the lyre in their hands, frightened. With a chain around its neck, the chain was only long enough for it to move around the arena, and it scanned the twenty candidates with blazing eyes, as if it was about to open its fangs and rush towards them in the next second.
Long Fuzhi heard his heartbeat like a drum, his hands on the lyre trembled very much, he wanted to go home, wanted to return to Mo Fei's side, just now his eyes accidentally met with the fox, the cold hairs all over his body stood up, and he didn't dare to come out, his sharp eyes looked straight at him, as if he was its prey, this feeling made Long Fuzhi frightened.
When he saw the chained beast being brought out, Mo Fei couldn't believe his eyes, how could the master arrange such a difficult competition, you must know that there are his apprentices among these candidates, how can Long Fuzhi survive this competition safely, her heart rose to her throat.
At this time, a big man in the crowd roared, the dragon clan will win, more and more people joined in to cheer for the candidates in the audience, they raised their fists, and chanted the slogan of the dragon clan's victory.
Accompanied by the neat and stirring slogans, the candidates were a little surprised, and the word dragon aroused a strong sense of mission and honor in their hearts, and courage and strength suddenly poured into their bodies. The shouts from the stands angered the fox, and it roared and rushed towards the direction where Long Fuzhi was.
"Be careful, Fuzhi." In a hurry, Mo Fei shouted, everyone looked at Long Fuzhi in horror, I don't know how he would avoid the beast, the tears of the dragon queen were about to burst out of her eyes, and she read "Who will save my Fuzhi", and the other women hurriedly appeased the dragon queen, and some timid women covered their eyes and did not dare to look.
Long Fuzhi was so frightened that he trembled, and his feet seemed to weigh a thousand catties, seeing that he was about to pounce on him, he never thought that the moment his front palm hit the ground, he suddenly turned around and pounced on another candidate next to Long Fuzhi.
The young man obviously didn't expect that the fox would temporarily shift the target, just now he was still glad that the target of the attack was not him, he never thought that the next second bad luck suddenly befell him, he was so frightened that his face was like ashes, he couldn't make a sound when he wanted to scream, seeing that the claws of the fox were about to be embedded in his shoulders, the long fangs were in front of his eyes, and suddenly a force tightened the chain, the beast did not succeed in attacking, but the candidate fainted in fright and was carried off the field.
Seeing that the scene was so dangerous, the eight people on the field immediately gave up the competition, and the arena with only eleven people left seemed even more empty.
"This beast is very smart, picking on weak attacks, we have to strike first, attack as defense, only in this way will it not be looked down on, and when it finishes dealing with others, the pillar of incense will be burned out." Meng Yan said to the pig not far from him.
"What can I do not be considered weak?" He wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, his eyes always looked at the fox, and he didn't dare to take it lightly.
"Bird song." Meng Yan adjusted his breath and began to pluck the strings.
"Birdsong?" After hearing this, she was taken aback, and her brows were tightly locked, but now she had to play with Meng Yan, and suddenly the whole arena emitted a piano sound like a hundred birds singing in unison.
"They actually played the song of a hundred birds." Mo Fei was shocked, and when she said this, others saw that this little girl knew a little about the sound of the piano, and asked her what a hundred birds were singing.
Mo Fei told them that the song of a hundred birds was a song that had been lost for a long time, and the strange style of the song and the messy fingering were rarely appreciated, although it was not pleasing to the ear, but those who cultivated to a high level could use this song to build a high wall to resist the other party's attacks, these were all told to her by Brother Meili.
The sound of Meng Yan and Pig Woe attracted the attention of the Fox Beast, and it glared at them angrily, the previous attack was frustrated, but it aroused its beastly desire, and its sturdy body slowly walked towards Meng Yan and Pig Grass, and let out a low roar in its throat, slowly approaching them step by step.
Seeing the fox walking towards them, the sweat on the back of the pig stained the placket of his clothes, and his fingers began to fail to keep up with Meng Yan's rhythm, and Meng Yan's forehead was also covered with dense sweat, but he couldn't stop, he knew that once he stopped, there would be a flaw in the birdsong.
He gritted his teeth tightly, not daring to stop the movements of his hands, seeing that the fox was getting closer and closer, he closed his eyes to stabilize his breath and continue to play, if he opened his eyes, he didn't dare to guarantee whether he could play calmly.
When it was less than a man away from them, it suddenly stopped, there was an invisible wall in front of it to block it out, it stretched out its front paws and scratched in mid-air, but it was still difficult to move half a step forward, it was annoyed and angry, looking at the prey that was close at hand but could not get close, so angry that it went back and forth in place, and finally it gave up, turned its head and left.
Pig opened his eyes, saw the back of the departing Xuan, took a long breath, the highly tense emotions instantly relaxed, and before Meng Yan could say the word careful, the Xuanxuan suddenly turned his head and killed a horse pistol.
It stretched out its claws and pushed him out, and the pig was suddenly thrown dozens of steps away, falling to the ground and unable to get up, and someone outside the field immediately carried the pig off the field, fortunately the injury was not serious, but he was out.
Although he was the only one left, Meng Yan still insisted on the speed of his fingers, and there was no flaw for the fox to break through, and the fox saw that it could not take advantage of Meng Yan's side, so he gave up attacking him, anyway, there were still nine people here for him to play.
After witnessing what happened to Meng Yan and Fen Ying, the remaining nine people realized that the only thing that could help them win the competition was the lyre in their hands.
