Chapter 62: Mount Tai Dominates
After a few days of boredom, Qi Ying felt idle, and after breakfast, he led Kexin out of Suiyunju to hang out.
The quiet and elegant Tilting Maple Pavilion before, in the past two days, there was a lively atmosphere, and the sound of Qingyue's piano was lingering, one after another, endlessly.
Qi Ying took Ke Xin around, and gradually felt that there was no interest in it, and after a few long sighs in a row, she remembered that she hadn't seen Xiao Luan for several days, so she simply led Ke Xin to turn her head and walk towards the Silent Ming Courtyard.
At this time, in the courtyard of the Silent Ming Courtyard, Xiao Luan was holding a wooden plate on his head, his knees were bent and half-squatting, his calves trembling and struggling, while Chu Yanxu and Xiao Nan were sitting opposite each other at the round stone table next to them, drinking hot tea and chatting and playing chess, leisurely and comfortable.
And Chu Yanxu drank tea and played chess, and did not forget to pay attention to Xiao Luan, who was struggling to walk on the horse, and occasionally reminded Xiao Luan to stand firm on the wooden plate and not spill the water, otherwise he would have to practice for half an hour.
Qi Ying had just stepped into the Silent Ming Courtyard, and before he could see the situation in the courtyard, he heard a call from a distance with a heavy breath: "Master...... Master save me......"
Qi Ying fixed his eyes and saw his apprentice walking in the middle of the courtyard in a posture of Taishan pressing his knees and half-squatting, his limbs trembling, sweating like rain, and his eyes complaining! Xiao Luan's appearance at this moment made it a pity that he had always looked at him unpleasantly, and he wanted to reach out to help him unload the wooden plate. But his master Qi Ying still wanted to add fuel to the fire for him, "Yo! Apprentice, Zamabu? ...... Yes, this posture is solid and stable, which shows that the muscles and foundation are good! ......" said, she also reached out to touch the wooden plate above Xiao Luan's head, and stood on her heels to look inside, "This water seems to be a little less ......"
Hearing Qi Ying's words, Xiao Luan's limbs not only trembled even more, but his immature handsome face also began to twitch non-stop, I don't know if it was because he was too tired to support or because he was angry with his master.
The two people in front of them who were leisurely drinking tea and playing chess also twitched a few times because of Qi Ying's blind talk, and they couldn't help laughing.
"Young people should lay a good foundation early and practice well! .......”
After some chatter, Qi Ying finally reached out and patted Xiao Luan's shoulder and walked towards the two people drinking tea and playing chess on the stone table, his eyes deliberately scanning around, "Why didn't you see Miss Wei today?" ”
Chu Yanxu's hand that was about to pick up the teacup paused, frowned slightly, and then let out a slight sigh, since Qi Ying met him and Wei Yuan practicing swords that morning, she asked him from time to time why Wei Yuan was not this kind of thing made him very angry.
Xiao Nan saw that Chu Yanxu was depressed and unwilling to answer for a while, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "The princess is rare, why did you remember to come to our Silent Ming Courtyard today?" Please sit down and have a hot cup of tea......"
Xiao Nan's voice did not fall, and he was about to pour a cup of tea for Qi Ying, and Chu Yanxu had already put the hot tea in front of Qi Ying.
Qi Ying thanked him, picked up the cup of tea and took a sip gently, only to look up and see Wei Yuan coming from outside, thinly dressed, slender waist and hair shaking, beautiful eyebrows, and snow-white skin, Qi Ying had to admit that the other party was indeed a bright beauty.
"The princess is well!"
Wei Yuan didn't expect Qi Ying to come to the Silent Ming Courtyard today, and she looked a little uncomfortable when greeting Qi Ying.
Qi Ying nodded slightly, and smiled, "Let's talk, I'll go and play with the apprentice .......for a while," and then led Kexin to walk briskly towards Xiao Luan.
"Apprentice, let's go......."
Xiao Luan, who was already tired and paralyzed at the moment, was too lazy to raise his hand to wipe it, letting the beads of sweat slide down his cheeks, just gasping for breath, seeing that Qi Ying had gone away, against Chu Yanxu's warning gaze, he struggled to move his stiff legs, and chased Qi Ying's figure crookedly.
Not long after Qi Ying and the others left, Chu Yanxu said that he wanted to visit his grandfather and left the Silent Ming Courtyard, leaving Xiao Nan and Wei Yuan embarrassed.
......
"Why is it so lively these days? Why is it that the piano is always playing? ”
Walking on the winding path of the garden of the Tilting Maple Pavilion, listening to the high and undulating sound of the piano, Qi Ying turned his head to ask Xiao Luan behind him.
"At the end of March, we have a five-year song competition, and they are practicing the songs......
Qi Ying nodded knowingly, "No wonder! But there are still more than two months to go until the end of March, and they are too anxious! ”
"The Silent Song Contest is a grand event once every five years in the Tilting Maple Pavilion, of course they have to hurry up and practice, if they can come out on top in the competition, it will be a supreme glory in the Tilting Maple Pavilion......
"Then why don't you practice?"
"Master, you forgot, I'm your disciple now, of course I don't have to participate in the competition of the Tilting Maple Pavilion, right? ...... And even if I practice, I may not be able to join the competition....." Xiao Luan's last sentence was so subtle that Qi Ying couldn't hear it clearly.
Qi Ying slapped his forehead, ignoring the fact that Xiao Luan was her apprentice, "Can all the disciples of the Tilting Feng Pavilion participate in this competition?" ”
"Definitely! There are disciples all over the world, and if you try them one by one, it will be very laborious and costly, so every time you first select outstanding disciples from each branch helmsman to recommend them to come back and participate......"
This five-year song competition is an event for the selection of talents in the Tilting Maple Pavilion, and it is an opportunity for many disciples of the Tilting Pavilions to stand out, and some disciples want to pass the test in this competition all their lives to win the championship in one fell swoop, step by step to the helm master or even the pavilion master throne, which is the only right way for them to reach the peak in the Tilting Maple Pavilion.
"Oh!" Qi Ying's expression was a lot darker, and she wanted to find an opportunity to participate in it, not because she could win it, but because she wanted to test her level, after all, she, a disciple of the Tilting Peak Pavilion who had never seen the light, had no fun staying in the dark all the time.
After being silent for a long time, Qi Ying didn't give up, and asked again, "Is there any other way to join the competition?" ”
"Master, you don't want to participate in the competition, do you?"
Qi Ying winked at him, "Can't you?" ”
Xiao Luan was convinced, his master was really bold, "The key is that you can sing a ballad?" ”
Qi Ying snorted, "Nonsense! ”
Xiao Luan was surprised, and immediately grinned and said with a smile, "Master, you are really amazing!" ....... Who is your Master? Oh no, who is my ancestor? ”
Qi Ying raised his eyebrows, glanced at Xiao Luan with disgust, and then asked, "Do you know Sui Yu?" ”
"Sui Yu?" Xiao Luan's eyes rolled slightly, thinking for a long time, only to feel that this name seemed to have been heard somewhere, but he couldn't think of more.
Qi Ying's lost memories of the past three years had some clues about her master, but she had lost that memory. Now Qi Ying only remembers that she had never seen her master a few days before she and Lu, and only the master left a piano......
In Qi Ying's hopeful eyes, Xiao Luan scratched his head, "I seem to have heard of this name, but I don't know who she is?" ...... Maybe my cousin knows about her, so why don't you ask my cousin next time? ”
Qi Ying nodded, feeling that it was indeed more reliable than Xiao Luan to find out about Xiao Nan, after all, Xiao Nan had been under the door of the Tilting Pavilion's door for a relatively long time, and he was the master of one of the three major rudders of the Tilting Pavilion, so he must have a certain understanding of the members of the Tilting Pavilion, especially a slightly older one like her master Sui Yu.
