Chapter 356: Sword Dance

She is not the only one who thinks so.

Among the six fields of the six arts, only the third one has the most people.

The news of Duan Lizheng's participation in the third show flew out like wings, and many spectators from other venues also ran here.

The third stage was already crowded, and new spectators were constantly joining.

In contrast to the enthusiastic crowd, the third session was chosen for the sluggishness of the students.

The students who came over looked solemn after seeing Duan Lizheng.

"Forget it, I'll give up the exam." One of the older students was the first to raise his hand.

"Brother Chen, haven't you been preparing for three years...... Why ...... it?" said the person next to him.

I only heard the man smile bitterly, "After watching Duan Ergongzi's dancing, who can watch other dances?" In that case, it's better not to be smiling and generous. ”

After that, he flicked his sleeves and walked into the audience.

The crowd of onlookers was in a commotion.

"Chen Huai of Yang County actually gave up the exam."

"Don't blame him, although he is proficient in dancing, who would have thought to meet Duan Lizheng?" Someone next to him said sympathetically, "People's hearts are flesh and blood, rather than the carefully prepared dance being compared with Duan Lizheng, it is better to simply abandon the exam and retain some dignity." ”

Following Chen Huai, other candidates have proposed to abandon the exam.

But there are also quite a few candidates who stayed.

After all, once the six arts are chosen, they cannot be replaced, although they are not as good as Duan Lizheng, but most candidates do not have high requirements for themselves, as long as they get the ranking.

There was a pair of candidates talking to Zhu Luan's side.

"Brother Lu, are you going to stay?"

"Yes, I'm lucky, the exam number is in front of Duan Lizheng, so it won't be compared, maybe the examiners will give more points."

As soon as his words came out, many students next to him looked at him with envy.

The examiners have begun to count the number of people, and throughout the audience, the number of people who abandoned the exam was indeed the most, especially the candidates who were ranked behind Duan Lizheng in the exam number, and there were many people who abandoned the exam.

The abandoners walked to the crowd of spectators next to them, with a clear face, not ashamed, and some candidates even pointed to the students in the back of the test pile to discuss.

"How cheeky is it to dare to dance after Duan Lizheng."

"I really don't know what to fight for, waiting to become a joke in Huizhou?"

The remaining candidates were arranged in the candidate tunnel on the other side of the stage and lined up in the order of the previous exam numbers.

Zhu Luan glanced behind him, there was no one left.

Then she looked at the boy in front of her, who was not squinting.

It's all because of him.

This is the first time that Zhu Luan has felt the influence of Duan Jiaerlang so intuitively.

I don't know what Duan Haochu was like when he participated in the township test in Huizhou.

But it's one thing to sigh, it's another thing for this influence to really fall on you.

After all, he is the one who wants to dance behind Duan Lizheng.

One after another, musicians from official families carried various musical instruments to the shed by the high platform.

The candidate who came first in line walked into the music shed and talked to the musician at the signal of the examiner.

Dance is inseparable from music, each candidate must communicate with the musician before the repertoire of accompaniment, if it is their own arrangement, they must write the score on the spot, but most candidates do not have such ability and energy, and generally choose common repertoire.

"In the eighth year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the third session of the six arts of the Huizhou Township Examination began!"

With the loud voice of the scribe, the onlookers erupted in joy.

With a crisp gong sound, a candidate stepped forward, and the sound of the qin came from the music shed, and the candidate danced.

……

"It's a good dance." A young man's voice came from ahead.

"Huh?" Zhu Luan, who was a little drowsy from the sun, raised his head and found that Duan Lizheng turned his head and said to her.

Zhu Luan looked at the high platform, which had already reached the previous person of Duan Lizheng, and the young man on the stage was dancing and singing, and his every move was leisurely. The dance is one of the "six small dances", such as the Silk Dance, the Feather Dance, the Emperor Dance, the Folk Dance, the Dry Dance, and the Human Dance.

It was a model of music and dance used to educate the children of the nobility during the ancient Zhou Dynasty, and was sometimes used on certain sacrificial occasions.

The young man's singing voice is clear, his dancing posture is simple, and he can see that he has worked hard.

Zhu Luan nodded, "It's really good, there are not many people who can dance dry now." ”

There are not many people who can understand the Six Little Dances now. Duan Lizheng smiled and nodded, the girl's radiant eyes were full of understanding, proving that she did understand.

Zhu Luan looked around, although this young man danced really wonderfully, but the crowd of onlookers looked uninterested, and from time to time some people looked at this side, as if they couldn't wait for Duan Lizheng to play.

The young man on the stage danced and showed a devastated look on his face, and finally gritted his teeth and retired from the stage after the dance.

There were a few sparse applause on the sidelines, and then they were overshadowed by the shouts of Duan Lizheng's name in the crowd.

Zhu Luan looked at the young man who had withdrawn sadly and sighed.

Duan Lizheng's face was not very good-looking, but looking at the examiner who was waving at him, the expression on the young man's face instantly became serious.

He cleaned up his clothes, and his aura changed.

He turned around and turned his back to Zhu Luan.

"I went."

Zhu Luan nodded, "Hmm." The voice was as calm as ever.

Duan Lizheng smiled wordlessly, "I'll wait for you on the stage." ”

Then, without waiting for her to answer, the young man strode away amid the cheers of the surrounding people.

The music shed was just facing the passage where the candidates were waiting, Duan Lizheng climbed the high platform and walked into the examination booth, and after talking with the musician for a few words, a scribe brought pen and ink, and Duan Lizheng wrote on the paper after the result.

"It's worthy of being a peerless Erlang of the six arts, and he really arranged it himself!" The few remaining candidates whispered beside them, and the look on their faces became more and more desperate.

Duan Lizheng finished writing at great speed and handed the paper to the musician, then walked to the center of the stage without stopping, and walked straight to the guards on the other side of the stage.

He reached out and grabbed the hilt of a sword's waist at the waist of one of the guards.

And the guard remained motionless, staring at him in a daze.

"Borrow a sword." Duan Lizheng said.

The guard nodded without hesitation, with a look of pride.

Duan Lizheng pulled out his long sword with a snort, and the blade of the sword glowed dazzlingly white in the falling sunlight.

Step by step, the boy walked back to the center of the stage, each step stepping on the hearts of onlookers like a drumbeat.

Duan Lizheng stood with his sword in his hand, and there was no wind in the field.

Boom drums!

In an instant, the noise of the entire stage disappeared, and the birds were silent.

The long sword groaned softly, flipped in the young man's hand, and sprinkled a fan-like white light!

Between the flow of light and shadow, there seemed to be thousands of troops lurking behind the thin young man!

I want to talk about "Yingluan" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
