Chapter 523: Rhythm
Wan Peng took a deep breath and looked down at Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei was staring intently at the stone wall at this time, as if he had seen it before. Wan Peng shouted, "Xiao Hei." It just wagged its tail, but it didn't even look back.
Princess Yoyou said, "Xiao Hei relied on the jade flute as a carrier and survived for a long time. And with its spirituality, it will definitely remember these places, so it doesn't hurt to let it remember for a while. Since we are already standing at the door of the next step, we don't care about waiting for this longer. ”
Wan Peng nodded and agreed to Princess Yoyou's proposal. Xiao Hei sat there for a long time, and slowly, he actually shed tears. In the end, Xiao Hei wiped his tears with his front paws, first returned to Princess Yoyo, rubbed it twice, as if to express his gratitude, and then returned to Wan Peng's feet.
It didn't just stay in and go inside, but more like waiting for Wan Peng to give orders. From Xiao Hei's performance, Wan Peng and Princess Yo You both have a feeling that it is not willing to take the initiative to enter the Twelve Palaces of the Demon Seal. As for the reason inside, maybe you only know it when you go inside.
Wan Peng took another deep breath and touched Xiao Hei's head, "Let's go, take us in." ”
Xiao Hei didn't scream again, got up, bypassed the stone wall, and entered a passage from one side. This passage is very narrow, basically only one person can pass through, Wan Peng and Princess Yo You go one after the other. They didn't know exactly how far they had walked, because as if they were walking, the light around them changed, and then two people and a dog were in a hall.
The hall is completely enclosed, with a huge statue of Aries on the front, and a table with a harp on it.
What does this mean? Wan Peng and Princess Yo You walked over and looked at it carefully. That's right, there is nothing else but this instrument.
And at this time, under the statue of Aries, a line of words gradually appears.
One of the twelve signs of the Demon Seal, the Palace of Aries. This palace is themed after the piano. You'll hear a piece of music coming from this instrument. After listening, the hourglass timer on the table, before finishing, the person who plays this music is to pass the level. If there is any mistake during the playing, or if it takes longer than the hourglass, it will be judged as a failure and you will listen to another piece of music. Only if you succeed in breaking the level, you can choose to leave the Twelve Signs of the Demon Seal or enter the Taurus Palace.
Wan Peng and Princess Yo You couldn't help but glance at each other. Isn't this the 12th sign of the Demon Seal? Actually the first house to test music? This is not in line with the lifting of the seal. However, since people ask questions like this, there is naturally nothing we can do about answering the questions.
"How do you master the rhythm of music?" Wan Peng knew that he was not good at musical instruments, so he could only hope for Princess Yoyo. Princess Yoyou shook her head and said, "Don't you know, in our Demon Realm, the Demon Race is extremely weak in music rhythm, and even in the Demon Realm, there is no music that can be taken out of the Demon Realm. Those musicians in the Demon Palace actually perform mainly with percussion, and rarely accompany the piano. ”
Wan Peng smiled bitterly, "It seems that in this first house, we are in trouble." Give it a try. ”
Wan Peng stepped forward and sat down on the stone bench in front of the piano table. There are a total of 21 strings, the close to the person is thin, the far person is thick, from thick to thin, first lit up in turn. After that, Wan Peng heard a piece of music, about fifty or sixty notes, and after the sound of the music, the hourglass next to it began to work.
The music of the right talent is very pleasant to the ear, and Wan Peng really can't help but praise it in his heart. However, after all, it is just to listen, if you can pass the test by admiring it, I am afraid that this magic seal zodiac sign is not necessary to be designed so hidden.
Wan Peng's hand was placed in the air above the piano, but he did not press it. He knew that his musical foundation might not be much stronger than Princess Yoyo, and when faced with an instrument that he had never touched, how could he pass the test at one time. However, he needs to take every opportunity to familiarize himself with the instrument as soon as possible.
"Regardless of what it was about, play each string and see if you can remember it. Liyang said in Wanpeng's inner world, "This is a test of hearing, memory and hand control." To a certain extent, music is no less than a profound method. ”
"Hmm. Wan Peng answered, put his hand on the thickest string, and pulled it down in turn. However, as soon as he plucked one, he saw that the whole piano was red, and then, he could not touch any strings again.
Perhaps, this is the failure of the verdict. Wan Peng smiled bitterly, and sure enough, another piece of music immediately sounded, about the same length as before. It's just that Wan Peng didn't remember how high the sound of the first string was just now.
"Pluck the second root. Liyang said in Wanpeng's inner world, "You only need to dial one at a time, and after twenty-one times, I will be able to remember it all." ”
Wan Peng couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "Are you sure?"
Liyang's voice began to be a little proud, "What's the use of me lying to you about this thing? Why, it feels incredible? Tell you, Liyang, the god of war, is also proficient in music." We are separated from the family, and we have to accept the training and assessment of music rhythm since childhood, and you do what I say. ”
Wan Peng's confidence suddenly doubled, and he left a sentence for Liyang, "I thought that when you got out of the demon world, you would be useless......"
Liyang was stunned for a moment, and then stomped his feet, "I'm sorry, you kid wait for me, one day, if I go out of your inner world, I will make you pay for this sentence!"
Wan Peng smiled, ignored his words, and plucked the second string casually.
In Princess Yoyo's opinion, this is the second time Wan Peng has made a mistake. She couldn't help but take a step forward and said, "It's no wonder that the four elephants knew the characteristics of the demon world at the beginning. This Aries Palace can be described as a big problem. ”
Wan Peng shook his head, "You can't say that." Perhaps, when the god of love, Cuppy, designed the zodiac signs, he wanted to let the outstanding talents in the demon world go out. And this kind of outstanding talent, of course, must first make a breakthrough in the weakest place of the demon world. Don't panic, I'm just memorizing. ”
Although Wan Peng explained to Princess Yo You, as the number of mistakes made by Wan Peng increased, Princess Yo You's face still showed a faint look of anxiety. After all, Wan Peng only played one note almost every time, only three or four times, the first note was actually correct, he played the second note, and once, he actually played the third note. That time, the excitement in Princess Yoyou's eyes could not be hidden, but by the fourth note, her expression had dimmed again.
Twenty-one tones, a dozen mistakes. Wan Peng sat there, unmoved. And the time does not pass for an hour, because after each error, the time interval between starting the puzzle again and playing music will get longer and longer.
"Twenty-one notes, divided into five groups, except three thick strings, three thin strings, from the fourth thick string to the eighth, in a group, nine to thirteen, in a group, fourteen to eighteen, in a group, you can mark the beginning of each group with a color. These tones appear regularly, and the corresponding roots, after adding five, the actual pitch is equivalent to doubling the original sound. After Wan Peng played these sounds, Liyang immediately gave a rule.
Wan Peng really admired Liyang in his heart, not because of Liyang's music skills, but because of Liyang's erudition. Well, at this time, it should be more appropriate to use erudition. It is really rare for a commander who commands a war to be so proficient in music.
Liyang hasn't finished speaking. "You can mark these strings. Coloring each string, you define as 1. And after adding five, you can add a dot to it, add another five, and add one. Within each group, you can define it as 12345. In this way, all the groups are separated. When the song starts again, I'll jot it down for you in the form of these defining numbers, and after that, it's up to you. Remember, music is rhythmic, and if you don't know enough between two notes and you don't know how long the interval is, you may be judged to have failed. ”
Wan Peng nodded, "Don't worry, I'll do my best." ”
The music starts again, and when the song is finished, the hourglass begins to work. Liyang was in Wanpeng's inner world, and stretched out his hand to pull out a light curtain, on which was a neat and tidy musical score, and the way of notation was the same as what he just said. Wan Peng also gave full play to his excellent memory, swept at a glance, never forgot it, withdrew from his inner world, and began to play on the piano.
Everything went well! Sixty-six notes, sixty of which were easily played. Princess Yoyou's eyes immediately swelled with joy, and she clapped her hands excitedly, "Good job!" But it was this time that her sleeves brushed in front of Wan Peng's eyes. Wan Peng's eyes flickered, and there was a crash, a sound and a mistake in playing, and the whole song failed.
Princess Yo Yo looked very unnatural, "That, that, I didn't mean it, I ......"
Wan Peng smiled, "I don't blame you." It's also strange that I'm not familiar with it. It doesn't hurt to be wrong once. Let's move on. ”
His sentence we continued, in fact, it was also said to Liyang. Liyang didn't have too high hopes for Wan Peng's ability to play the piano, and Wan Peng's performance just now had already surprised him. So Liyang was not angry, and said calmly, "Wait for the next song." ”
At the end of the song, all the notes are correct, and the level is clear!
Xiao Hei also screamed twice with a little excitement. Wan Peng got up and high-fived Princess Yoyo.
At this point, the landscape of their environment begins to change. After a while, the statue of the Aries disappears, and two doors appear in front of it. On the side of each door, there is a stele, the one on the left is written, transmitted back to the demon world, and the one on the right is written, Taurus Palace.
"Let's go. Wan Peng looked at Princess Yo You, and this time he didn't wait for Xiao Hei to take the initiative to enter the door of the Taurus Palace.
As soon as things changed in front of him, a confined space similar to the Aries Palace just now appeared in front of his eyes. It's just that this time the statue on the wall has become Taurus, and what is on the table is not a piano, but a chessboard.
"Chess, Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting?" Wan Peng muttered, "It seems that these twelve palaces really have connotations." ”
