Chapter 21: The Wonder of Knowledge
"Hmph, it's a little too young to show off. Yu Ziqi turned her face, obviously still holding grievances for her idol Yun Fei, and was surpassed by Xuan Chen, a kid.
Xuanchen was speechless, so he had to laugh it off.
His eyes were always on the list on the leaderboard, and in the past few days, Xuan Chen had also learned a lot of people.
In the whole game, the real dark horse is only known to Xuan Chen and strange people.
And what is surprising is that the two of them ranked first and third respectively in the preliminary round, Xuan Chen is emerging with piano skills, but Zhizhi is outstanding in painting, the realm of these two people is beyond everyone's expectations, and even the predecessors of the previous years are ashamed.
Moreover, these two are also two of the ten people who participated in the four competitions.
However, the two of them were not favored, after all, it is impossible for one person to achieve achievements in the four directions of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Generally, only people who stand out in one and not so much in the other three will choose to participate in the four competitions, and it is reasonable that they are not favored by these connections.
Mu Shaoying, who ranked second, only chose another competition, he was selected for calligraphy in the preliminary round, but he chose chess in this second round.
As for the fourth-ranked Yun Fei, like Zhizhi, the preliminary round chose the painting competition, but in the preliminary round, he was known to be slightly better in painting, but the score difference was not big, in the second round, Yun Fei chose three, the other two are calligraphy and chess.
After three days, on this day, the first of the four competitions finally came - the piano art competition.
Xuan Chen, who had participated in the piano art competition, naturally did not need to participate anymore.
In the second round of the competition, there were about 30 people who participated in the piano art competition, 40 people who participated in the chess game, and more than 50 people who participated in the calligraphy competition, and about 30 people who participated in the painting competition.
In addition to Xuan Chen, only Zhizhi participated in the piano art in the top four, which couldn't help but make Xuanchen think a little higher about Zhizhi's ability.
Because most people know that they can't surpass Xuan Chen, they naturally won't choose that weakness, if they want to surpass Xuan Chen, they can only work the other three projects.
Mu Shaoying and Yun Fei don't think that Xuan Chen only has amazing piano skills like others, at least when they reach their level, they can still guess the strength of their opponents.
As a bell rang, the piano competition finally began, and unexpectedly, Zhizhi was the first to play.
In the eyes of thousands of people, I saw an old man walking up with a piano in his arms, staggering.
Xuan Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the old man, he didn't expect that Zhizhi had already stepped into his twilight years, it stands to reason that he would live to his age, what else could he not think of?
Almost at the same time, everyone's eyes widened, this, this is the knowing, a dying man?
I saw the old man holding a broken piano, and his movements were very trance-like, as if he was about to fall down at any time.
What's more important is the piano in his hand, is this still a piano?
What are you kidding? What good results can you get by participating in such a competition with a broken piano, it is better to give up.
The broken piano is very tattered, not so much a piano, but a rotten wood, there are a lot of wormholes in the piano body, obviously there are some traces of time, and the piano body does not have the slightest aura emanating out.
Although it looks very quaint, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is not a treasure spirit weapon at all, it is simply rotten wood in the mortal world, they are all cultivation masters, and they are generally at least in the dust realm.
The master of the Hua Dan Realm may be able to destroy it with a breath, everyone is very disappointed in their hearts, and the mood that was originally a little optimistic about him has fallen to a low point, but he is regarded as a treasure by Zhizhi.
"He just knows, what good ranking can this broken piano get. ”
"What are you kidding, this dark horse is estimated to be lost, his painting skills are really as strong as he imagined?"
Xuan Chen couldn't help asking, "Brother Yu, do you know this?"
Obviously, he didn't know where to ask, Yu Lingxian also shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "That's why I think he's strange, but I always feel that he's not simple." ”
Xuan Chen just nodded, it's not that he looks down on the old man Zhizhi, it's just that the image of Zhizhi is completely different from what he imagined, although people can't be disguised, but this is too far away.
However, the old man didn't care about the eyes of everyone in the outside world at all, and sat down slowly with the broken piano in his arms.
"Knock Knock Knock ............"
is different from Xuanchen's song, Zhizhi's song is very high-pitched as soon as it comes up, and it immediately attracts everyone's attention.
"Senior sister, is this old man really so strange?" It was Lin Shengzhi from Yuexiu Mountain who asked.
Yue Xinru on the side seemed unwilling to talk to him, but nodded.
With the light flick of Zhizhi, the majestic momentum soared into the sky, straight into the sky, and everyone showed a look of surprise.
However, the high-pitched sound of the piano did not last long, and slowly became very light, as if summer had suddenly entered late autumn, and everything was quiet, and no sound could be heard.
It was as silent as a pool of stagnant water, and there was no movement, and finally it was as if it was not moving.
Those who don't know think that what they know is like this.
However, after dozens of breaths, suddenly, the stagnant water seemed to be resurrected, like a hidden dragon out of the water, and the monstrous momentum was lost again.
But unexpectedly, the passionate sound of the piano seemed to have no end, and it stopped abruptly, and then the old man suddenly stood up, carefully holding the broken piano and slowly walked down.
"It's over? ”
"I failed, and sure enough, my piano skills were not good. Many people sighed.
However, there are still many people whose eyes are shining, and Yue Xinru whispered to himself: "Transform into a body and cultivate into the realm, if you can enter Yuexiu Mountain, you will definitely add another great Confucian." ”
Xuan Chen's slightly closed eyes slowly opened, and he secretly said in his heart: "Ambition is twilight, ambition is not old." ”
With the cultivation of the incarnation realm, the qin realm that has reached the entry realm, how many people can there be in the mortal world, how can this not pop up the life that the old man knows?
Perhaps this is the reason why he came to this pastoral conference.
Only a few people know that Zhizhi's qin skills have reached an extremely advanced realm, and he did not let everyone enter the country like Xuan Chen, but only those who can really understand the sound of the qin have entered his qin realm.
In the disappointment of most people, a score appeared on the leaderboard, and it turned out to be ninety-nine, a full score of one hundred, and the old man knew that he had obtained ninety-nine.
Everyone was puzzled, could it be that the rules of this year's pastoral talent conference had changed? You know, this score is exactly the same as Xuan Chen's, no wonder he dares to choose piano art!
Only a few people know the high level of the old man's piano skills, and few people can compare with him, even some of the great Confucians of the academy may be ashamed of themselves.
At this time, the old man's knowing gaze suddenly stayed on Xuan Chen, and his eyes were facing each other.
Xuan Chen nodded slightly, he knew that this was not a provocation, but a feeling like meeting a confidant.
Xuan Chen felt like he had met a confidant, but he knew that this was impossible, he would never be able to become a confidant with the old man, because he was the emperor!
The emperor is destined to be a lonely person, his life is like a battlefield, on the battlefield, there is no emotion at all, and this arena is like a battlefield, in addition to controlling, that is, being controlled.
Xuan Chen knew that this old man was a genius, and it was definitely not just that his piano skills were beyond ordinary people.
He seems to be looking for a confidant, and he has given his whole life to this song just now, and the person in the song has spent most of his life in plainness, originally thought that this would end his life, but he suddenly realized that life is originally a struggle, and it should not be so idle.
So much so that in the twilight of the martyr, his heart was full of strength, as if he saw hope and knew that the opportunity was fought for by himself, and now, the opportunity finally came, so he came.
The four looked at each other, as if they both understood the will of the other party.
At this time, several groups of people walked towards the old man, and the surrounding crowd quickly dodged away, looking very respectful, obviously they were all from the four major academies.
One of the people was Yue Xinru from Yuexiu Mountain who had seen it a few days ago, but this time he didn't see Lin Shengzhi.
The other group of people was led by a young man, the man was very delicate and looked very temperamental, and several people behind him were all wearing blue robes.
The third group of people was led by a middle-aged man in a white robe, followed by three young men in white robes.
And the last group of people, Xuan Chen could tell, should be from Ziyun Mountain, and several of them were all dressed in purple Confucian robes.
Xuan Chen looked at the four groups of people lightly.
Yu Lingxian on the side explained: "Presumably, you have already guessed that the group of people wearing purple robes are the people of Ziyun Mountain, Brother Yue Xinru Xuan has also seen it before, and the man in white robe is the third generation of the eldest disciple of Zhong Ling Academy, Zhong Mu Shui." ”
"And the one wearing the blue robe is the third generation of the great disciple of Muchen Academy, Yue Bufan. ”
"Zhongmu Shui, Yue Bufan?" Xuan Chen said suspiciously.
Yu Lingxian's face showed a solemn expression, especially when he looked at Zhong Mu Shui's eyes, which were full of a heartfelt battle intent, and continued: "Zhong Mu Shui, once convinced all the sons of the hundred schools, I heard that he has reached the realm of entry for many years, and his cultivation is even more in the middle stage of infancy, and he is a masterpiece of a generation. ”
"Yue Bufan, the son of the new master of Muchen Academy, has also reached the early stage of the infant realm, but he has only cultivated for thirty years, and he can be regarded as a talent. ”
Xuan Chen listened to Yu Lingxian's introduction, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, he really deserved to be a disciple of the four major academies, and none of them were simple.
Seeing that Xuan Chen was a little engrossed, Yu Lingxian smiled again: "Presumably, with Brother Xuan's talent, if he has cultivated in the cultivation world since he was a child, it may not be impossible to reach the infant realm in thirty years." ”
Yu Lingxian looked flattering to Xuan Chen, obviously, he very much hoped that Xuan Chen could choose Ziyun Mountain.
Xuan Chen just smiled lightly: "Brother Yu is too modest. ”
Xuan Chen is not a fool, how could he not know Yu Ling Xian's thoughts, not to mention, in his heart, how simple is Yu Ling Xian?
More than thirty years have reached the infant realm, Xuan Chen saw with his own eyes that night, Yu Ling Immortal fought a sword in the sky, and his cultivation must be more than one or two points to win Yue Bu Extraordinary.
However, he also secretly remembered the names of these people in his heart, Zhong Mushui, Yue Bufan, maybe he would have the opportunity to deal with them in the future.
"If possible, I would like to have a good fight with Brother Xuan after the game. Yu Lingxian smiled, a glint flashed in his eyes, but he didn't mean to look down on Xuan Chen at all, because what he said was only a competition in the realm of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting.
If others hear it, they may not believe it, after all, a baby realm and a dust realm are not at the same level at all.
Even if Xuan Chen's piano skills overwhelmed everyone, they would not think that he was Yu Ling Xian's opponent.
"Brother Yu can afford Xuan. Xuan Chen smiled lightly, he was not afraid, but he had many considerations, so he had to answer vaguely.
"If I didn't know with my own eyes that you crossed the tribulation, I would definitely not think that Brother Xuan was just turning into dust, although maybe Brother Xuan and the old man knew that they were strange people, but there were too few people like that after all. Yu Lingxian sighed.
"Hehe, the wonder of knowing may be more than that, just wait, I'm looking forward to fighting him. Xuan Chen smiled, and a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
