Chapter 163: Shortlisted

On the tenth day of the lunar month, at the foot of the mountain on the side of Baihua County, in the open space surrounded by pine and cypress streams, the preliminary song and dance competition presided over by Mrs. Wen officially opened.

Chi Yue took Chi Xin and Xiaocui to the county's large and small ready-to-wear stores in advance, and it took a whole day to choose the performance costumes that the three of them felt satisfied.

It was a long dress of emerald green smoke yarn, and there was a layer of moonlight yarn on the outside, which looked ethereal and moving, extremely beautiful, and it was even more like clouds of smoke rolling and dancing in the clouds when it rotated.

Chi Xin Xiaocui only said that they had never worn such a beautiful dress, and unanimously said that this is the best effect. But Chi Yue still felt that this skirt was too monotonous, and she needed to add something like a phoenix feather to her heart.

With the consent of the two, Chi Yue hurried to design. When she showed the two of them the design drawings, the two of them sighed and admired, but they danced like a phoenix, and they were so beautiful that they might blind everyone's eyes.

But Chi Yue's embroidery skills were too poor, and the drudgery of sewing had to be pushed to Chi Xin to do.

Chi Xin lived up to her expectations, and in the several days of vacation that Chi Yue gave her, according to Chi Yue's design drawing, she embroidered the blue, white and yellow diamond-shaped feathers on the dress.

The final product, naturally beautiful, amazed everyone present.

At this time, they were on the side of the venue, watching the moving figures dancing wantonly in front of Mrs. Wen, waiting for their turn, they went to the Jingshui Temple on the side to change into their performance costumes and officially leave the factory for performance.

It was the first time for Chi Xin and Xiaocui to perform in front of so many people, looking at the crowd of people, crowded with audiences in half of the mountain, their hearts were pounding, their palms were constantly sweating, and they had the urge to escape.

"Chi Yue, I want to go to the toilet." Xiao Cui whispered a word to Chi Yue, and hurried to the temple.

This was the first time she'd been here an hour ago and had run to the bathroom. Chi Yue knew that she was overly nervous and felt uneasy, so she couldn't help sighing, faintly worried about the next performance.

Lu Ke led more than a dozen friends to cheer for Chi Yue and the others, but before Chi Yue and them appeared, they were already surrounded by many "fan groups".

"Chi Yue, you don't want to live up to our expectations of you, you must earn us the first place to come back!" Lu Ke encouraged her.

Chi Yue smiled awkwardly, "I hope so." ”

But he looked around, wanting to find the trace of Qu Lao. I couldn't help muttering in my heart, it was almost their turn to appear, but this old man still hadn't shown up yet, could it be that he was playing with her and making her happy?

But such a respected big man shouldn't act like this child's play? If he can't break the contract, isn't he afraid that his reputation will be ruined?

In her opinion, his reputation was ruined, she asked Chi Xin Xiao Cuikong to look forward to a show, and returned in vain, this matter is big, and it is also the ending she doesn't want to have.

Yes, although she knew that Qu Lao would definitely come, she was still worried, and kept looking around.

"Miss Han has finally appeared!" Someone shouted loudly, and there was a lot of commotion in the crowd, which was several times more excited than when Shi Cai Wen Jing performed.

Chi Yue couldn't help but raise her eyes and was amazed.

Seeing Han Qi holding her head high, she was wearing a silk dress like a lotus flower blooming on her graceful body, and an embroidered pink lotus flower was inserted on the side of her hair bun, as if it was a beautiful lotus flower.

Han Qi already has a graceful posture and unparalleled appearance, and at this time, wearing such a unique dress that fits well, it naturally attracts everyone's attention, and she is so amazed that she can't take her eyes off it.

The name of the dance she performed is "Lotus Shadow", from beginning to end, it is extremely graceful and tactful, like the various postures of lotus flowers, which makes people reverie and have endless aftertaste.

When performing, she was so intoxicated, as if she was the only one in the world, and the envious and admiring eyes around her were just the sparkling waves around her, which she disdained and didn't notice at all.

is worthy of being the first talented woman in the capital, and her dancing posture is skillful and graceful, which makes all the performers present ashamed and unattainable. Even if this dance is not difficult, just by virtue of this elegant charm, it is enough to overwhelm the crowd.

No one doubted that not only could she pass the preliminary round without any suspense, but also the first place in Mrs. Wen's heart must be her.

When Han Qi danced and left the stage, his expression was so arrogant, and his look of looking at the world seemed to be confident in winning the first place.

In the end, the person in charge of list management called out to the performers of the previous show of Chi Yue and his party.

Regardless of whether Qu Lao came or not, Chi Yue immediately pulled Chi Xin and Xiaocui and ran to Jingshui Temple to change into performance clothes.

When they really stood on the performance venue, thousands of eyes around them were staring at them, Chi Xin and Xiaocui's legs and feet suddenly felt sore, their bodies were so stiff that they didn't dare to move, they lowered their heads and didn't dare to raise their eyes to look in any direction.

Chi Yue had a lot of experience in the school's art department in her previous life when she performed on stage, so she was very adaptable and didn't feel nervous. The thing she is most anxious about now is that at this moment, she still hasn't seen Qu Lao!

This old liar! Chi Yue couldn't help but curse in her heart.

But after all, she is already standing on the field, even if she is hard-headed, she has to perform this performance without a cappella!

In this way, their month's hard work was not in vain, and even if they were not admitted, they would not leave regrets.

Glancing at the two people on their sides who were trembling with fear and didn't dare to raise their heads, Chi Yue encouraged: "Sister, Xiaocui, have you forgotten what I said beforehand?" Even if we lose, we must lose beautifully, not let people look down on us, and do not let life leave regrets! This performance may be the only chance for us to perform in our lifetimes, don't you want to be a flash in the pan and strive to bloom for the world to see? ”

After Chi Yue's encouragement, Chi Xin and Xiaocui woke up suddenly.

Yes, such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they don't know how to grasp it, I'm afraid there will be no more opportunities to bloom in their lives.

"Chi Yue, don't worry, I won't let you down!" Xiao Cui clenched her fists, trying to suppress her nervousness and reassure Chi Yue.

"Me too." Chi Xin slowly raised her head, the corners of her delicate mouth hooked up a smile, there was a hint of firmness in her bright eyes, and the sun shone on her beautiful and soft face, which made people feel so beautiful.

Chi Yue bowed solemnly and stood in the middle, about to lead the two to dance, but heard a familiar tune coming.

This tune is so melodious and tactful, with a gradual cheerfulness, it makes people feel like they are in a land of spring, smelling the fragrance of flowers, hearing the song of birds, and wandering in it......

This sound is not the sound of the flute and the pipa, nor is it the well-known Qin Se Guan Xiao, so crisp and pleasant, like the most natural birdsong chirping, the most graceful woman's love words.

Everyone couldn't help but search for the source of this tune, but they saw that on a big rock halfway up the mountainside, there was an old man with white hair and flowing like a fairy, sitting cross-legged, holding a gourd-like object in his hand, closing his eyes and playing intoxicatedly.

Someone immediately recognized Qu Lao and exclaimed, "He is Qu Lao!" It is Qu Lao who lives in seclusion in Yunxia Mountain! ”

Someone else excitedly asked, "But the one who used to be in charge of the ritual music in the palace?" ”

"Exactly, he was a popular man of the emperor of the previous dynasty back then, but he ...... later" The man paused, knowing that it was not the time to gossip, and concluded, "In short, after he lived in seclusion to Yunxia Mountain, he didn't leave the mountain, and no one could not move this big Buddha, why did he come to cheer up these little girls at this time?" ”

Seeing that in the center of the stage, the three women danced happily under this melodious and tactful accompaniment, and everyone was shocked to realize that Qu Lao was really here to cheer up the three little girls!

They couldn't help but wonder, what was so unique about these three women that they could make Qu Lao favored and willing to deign to come down the mountain to help them?

In the end, everyone shifted their surprised eyes from Qu Lao to the stage.

After watching it for a while, they were deeply attracted by the dancing posture of the three of Chi Yue, and they felt that they were really different.

This dance is something that no one has ever seen before.

Sometimes they flutter their turquoise dresses in a whirlwind, dazzling to the ground, and sometimes they change one hand into a myriad of gestures, like a bird doing all sorts of interesting movements. Although the movements are small, they are so unique that they attract people's attention to the subtleties.

The joints of the human body are brought into full play in this dance. Their waists are soft, and their necks and hands and feet are used together, like phoenixes eating, playing, playing in the water, and flying......

By the end of the song, the people on the field seemed to be no longer human beings in the eyes of everyone, but three phoenix-like spiritual creatures, which were loved by people and wanted to worship!

It wasn't until the three of them bowed shyly and saluted that everyone realized where they were.

Some people whistled and cheered, and some applauded, even more admiring than when Shicai treated Han Qi.

When he looked back, Qu Lao had long since disappeared in the thick jungle, and he didn't know where he was.

Seeing that there was an old man to help the fun, and the dancing of the three of them was so chic and moving, this show decided to be able to impress Liu Guifei, and Mrs. Wen did not hesitate to put Chi Yue and her party among the finalists.

Han Qi never thought that Chi Yue would also come to participate in the performance, and the effect was so good, he was dumbfounded for a while, and slammed his show fist on the stone pillar next to the pavilion, and under the cone, he couldn't even care about the pain in his hand.

Wen Jing was also very puzzled, and said on the side: "This Chi Yue, how many skills have not been revealed?" In her, she seems to be omnipotent, could it be that she is really a demon girl who has entered the mortal world? ”

If she wanted to praise Chi Yue with a sentence of "fairy descending to earth", she would not kill her.

Seeing that Han Qi's hesitation was overflowing, Wen Jing couldn't help but greet her: "But even if she has seventy-two skills, she is not as good as your sister and you." Sister, the dance you chose this time is a little simple, so those who don't know how to appreciate it will be degraded, and the next time you officially perform for Liu Guifei, your sister might as well add a little difficulty, and she will definitely be able to crush Chi Yue and them. ”

Han Qi snorted, sneered, and said self-deprecatingly: "What am I doing when I'm angry and annoyed by this Nizi?" Even if she has the ability, it is her own creation. Now that King Rong is far away from her, everything about her is no longer relevant to me, and even if she does win me, I don't care. ”

Thinking that because of a horse, he easily separated Gu Han and Chi Yue, Han Qi couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.

can think that Gu Han has been in retreat in Jingshui Temple since last month, and he has been studying Buddhism and self-cultivation with Master Yunhai inside, she asked him to come out to watch her performance, but he couldn't come, and he couldn't help but feel melancholy and depressed in his heart.

What kind of Buddhist self-cultivation is just for the contradiction with Chi Yue, and he is not in a mood! Thinking of this, for Chi Yue, Shicai still despises and disdains her, and at this time, she can't help but feel resentful.

She didn't know that at this time, in the midst of the crowd, there was a man in civilian clothes with a black hat, who was looking intently at the end of the scene, excited and uneasy, with mixed feelings.
