Chapter 242: Peerless Elegance (3)
"Dance soundtrack!" Xia Qian took a light breath and said slowly.
Gonggong Li was stunned and announced that the content of the next event would be to play music against the dance.
It's not a difficult skill, but it's not much effortless, and not only does she take the opportunity to rest, but she also knows that her mastery of the instrument won't be easily lost to others.
The competition has been going on for two hours, and the palace maids have sent some snacks and tea, so that the contestants can replenish their physical strength in time.
The tea sent to Xia Qian was two cups, one red and one colorless.
The palace maid cautiously told Xia Qian that the vinegar sauce and sugar water in the cup were specially prepared by Concubine Rong.
After Xia Qian drank the vinegar, she pursed her lips and tried several times, the thorn was still pierced in her throat, although the thorn was softened and no longer stuck, she was so uncomfortable, but it was still uncomfortable to not get out.
Worried that the little thorn would get deeper and deeper, she didn't dare to eat, and coped with this round of the event while drinking sugar water.
Seven times in a row, she used the palm-sized small drum as the instrument, and with the dance posture of the palace maid, she slapped the chic and pleasant rhythm on the small drum with her left hand, and successfully mixed into the last section of this competition.
Once again, she chose to score the dance, and after changing the instrument to a small bell, she easily passed the test seven times in a row, and when it came to the most critical eighth time, she changed to a five-stringed piano.
With the previous experience of stroking the three-stringed piano, even if he stroked the piano with his left hand, Xia Qian easily threw out the opponent's eighteen streets.
"Continue with the rules just now!" She said with a smile.
The four rivals gritted their teeth, this skill is not very difficult, and no one has been eliminated after sixteen soundtracks, Xia Qian's repeated conduct of this event is nothing more than physical exhaustion and delaying time.
Hatefully, they are trying to turn the tide.
"I have an opinion! The dance soundtrack has been done sixteen times, and more than half an hour has been wasted, and no one has been eliminated, so it should be replaced with other projects! A stopper in Mobei said angrily.
Others complained that they should have changed their projects.
Gonggong Li read the rules of the competition from beginning to end, and announced: "The current rule is that the best of the last event in the previous round determines the next round of the competition, and the dance soundtrack is also one of the contents of this competition, and it does not violate the rules!" ”
These people were even more uncomfortable in their hearts, and they all turned their resentful eyes to Xia Qian.
"If you are physically exhausted or have poor donkey skills, you can withdraw from the competition by yourself, don't waste our time!" The stopper in Mobei said angrily to Xia Qian.
Xia Qian smiled, took a sip of sugar water and moistened her throat and said, "Who said that I am poor in donkey skills, I thought of a better project, I am afraid that you will not dare, so I am embarrassed to say it!" ”
"Take out any unique skills, don't treat us like straw bales!"
"Impromptu dance!" Xia Qian explained unhurriedly, "I play music, you dance, each person has a chance, the right music is passed, not out." ”
The opponents were in disarray, and angry opposition immediately converged.
"According to the rules of the game, those who win eight times in a row will have the qualification to ask questions to the other four opponents once!" Gonggong Li read the rules of the game again and pointed out this clause to everyone.
These people thought that Xia Qian was wishful thinking just now, and at this moment they realized that she was warning them that she would not give them any chance in the next eight competitions.
Xia Qian is not stupid, she knows that playing music is a very delicate job, and if the musician is not in a hurry, it is difficult to accurately match the dance steps.
She deliberately let the other party know her intentions, just to mess with their minds.
Stroking the piano with one hand, she was already at a disadvantage, if it weren't for her exquisite piano skills and the foundation of playing the shamisen before, she would not be much sure of pressing the other party eight times in a row.
Therefore, I had to choose the strategy of attacking the heart.
After three consecutive wins, some people played the wrong melody in a panic, some people couldn't keep up with the dance steps in a hurry, and one broke the strings.
A narrow victory is also a victory, and after eight consecutive wins, she finally has a chance to sit in the musician's seat.
The opponents were even more panicked, especially when they saw that the instrument she chose was a small drum with a big palm, and their faces changed.
The snare drum is effortless, simple and easy to beat, the sound is crisp, and the rhythm is flexible, but it is not easy for dancers.
The panic in their hearts, coupled with Xia Qian's change of drum tone that caught them off guard, caused six of the seven opponents to be out, two of them fell and one twisted his foot.
On the field, she and a man from Nankang were left, who was in his forties and thin, who had been substituted before.
Xia Qian briefly recalled that this person has been steadily seeking victory since he entered the competition, not aggressive or risky, but he has never leaked a flaw.
In the end, there is either no one to fill up, or it is a powerful killer, Xia Qian naturally knows that he belongs to the second type.
"Leyi Mansion is indeed full of talents, and Mr. Qin is a rare talent. It's a pity, even if it is all over the world, there will be times when you lose to your apprentice eight times in a row? The emperor picked up his wine glass and smiled, but his eyes were different.
Mr. Qin smiled modestly and replied: "The blue is better than the blue, the master-apprentice game is a common thing, it is just a competition, you don't have to take it too seriously!" ”
Master and apprentice?
Xia Qian's gaze on the opponent suddenly stopped, that person was his teacher, his dancing skills were so exquisite, and his piano skills should not be much worse?
When she won eight consecutive victories just now, although he was inferior to her every time, he never messed up, and when Bao Kuo beat the drum and danced with him just now, he didn't even have a half-point difference, and even his demeanor was relaxed and natural.
That eight-game winning streak, did he deliberately concede, or was she really better?
Qin Shengyue, the book "Pincui" that she read a few days ago suddenly appeared in her mind, the book said that this person was Xianyun Yehe, although he had been a teacher in Leyi Mansion for a few years, but in recent years, he has spent most of his time wandering in the clouds, and he is also a teacher and friend with Lord Yue Yi.
is friends with Lord Leyi, do you know her secrets, and Yu Nuan, did Yu Nuan save her mother?
Xia Qian stared at Qin Shengyue, and her mood set off ripples.
Suddenly, there were two more people on the field, a monk and a Taoist priest.
Xia Qian stared at the two of them confidently for a long time, until Gonggong Li said that they were the substitutes for Mobei and the East Wing, respectively, Xia Qian felt like she was dreaming.
"Master Qiufeng, the first senior monk in Mobei, the first wise man in the East Wing, Xuanfa Zhenren! I am honored to be here with both of you, and I will serve tea! ”
Xia Qian's eight-game winning streak has been used up, and he returned to his position to wait for Gonggong Li to announce the rules of the next competition.
"In the next round of the competition, the theme of the month will be played. The best will decide the rest of the competition, and the worst will retire! ”
After Li Gonggong finished reading, he observed the four racers one by one with deep meaning, and seemed to be very optimistic about the two newcomers.
Master Qiufeng played a song that Xia Qian was unfamiliar with, and the sound of the piano was elegant and tactful, as if telling a sad story, and then he said a little philosophical.
Xia Qian lost her sense of hearing and couldn't see clearly, but from the other party's fingering, the floating of the strings and the expressions on everyone's faces, she knew that this song was perfect.
Xuanfa Zhenren and Qin Shengyue also chose the piano song, and Qin Shengyue deliberately played "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" played by Xuanfa Zhenren, and easily pressed Xuanfa Zhenren down.
Xia Qian was secretly shocked in her heart, and she was completely unconfident in her eight-game winning streak.
