The Movement of Life
Chapter 309: The Movement of Life
Everyone knew that the most difficult part of 'Rebirth of the Galaxy' was the second movement. The melody was heavy and urgent, telling the story of the destruction of the universe in the darkness.
Avril clenched her fists nervously as the music gradually became more depressing. She knew that the real test for Xia Fei had arrived.
Avril was not confident that she could play the second movement of 'Rebirth of the Galaxy' perfectly, even after being taught by the best music teachers in the Alliance. After all, she was still young, and playing the galaxy piano required constant practice and experience.
Could Xia Fei do it if Avril, who had the best musical sense and upbringing, did not have the confidence to do it?
The melody was getting more and more depressing, as if a storm was brewing and dark clouds were looming over the city.
Xia Fei's movements gradually increased as well. Every time his fingers pressed down on the keys, he used all the strength in his body. His body was trembling slightly as if he could already feel the darkness invading him. Even his eyes were starting to become extremely focused.
Experienced warriors were very familiar with the look in their eyes. It was the feeling of oppression when facing a strong enemy, the struggle when one's life was in danger!
Music follows the heart!
The best musicians would feel every syllable of the music with their heart. They would feel happy when the music was light and sad when it was depressing.
Music could only move the audience when it was played with one's heart. At that moment, everyone around Xia Fei felt like they could not get rid of the dark clouds hovering over their heads. The shadow of death was looming over the land, and a powerful enemy was approaching them in the snow!
Everyone was shocked. Xia Fei was using his life to perform. All his feelings were transmitted to the galaxy piano through his clumsy fingers, which were then transmitted to the people around him.
Everyone had different feelings toward the music. 'Rebirth of the Galaxy' was known for its darkness and oppression, but the sorrow of life and the shadow of death were infinitely magnified after Xia Fei's performance. Every syllable was like a giant rock pressing on the hearts of the listeners.
Some of the more fragile women clutched their chests tightly. If they did not do so, they were really worried that their hearts would jump out of their chests. This was because the oppression and the irresistible death that Xia Fei was portraying was simply too real!
The people of the upper class rarely experienced true darkness and death, but Xia Fei was using his music to tell them the true meaning of death!
It was the end of everything, and there had never been anything in the world that could compare to it, not to mention that Xia Fei was trying to express the destruction of the entire universe in darkness! This was many times better than simply dying!
Whimper.
There was a silent whimper.
The most repressed whimper!
It was like a person who knew that he was about to die but could not make any sound, could not resist, and could not refuse!
One.
Two.
Three.
Soon, the audience began to shed tears of unwillingness.
The entire Sunset Villa was immersed in a sorrowful wail, as if destruction was right in front of them.
Silver-haired General Tai knitted his eyebrows. Among those present, he, Thuram, and the others were the few who had actually seen the Grim Reaper. Even so, Tai was still shocked by Xia Fei's music. He had to admit that he could not perform such a realistic interpretation of death. In truth, he was more concerned about what Xia Fei had experienced to be able to transmit the breath of the Grim Reaper so clearly.
Pa!
Ty used a little more force and crushed the crystal glass in his hand.
This clear voice was not loud, but it was transmitted to the ears of everyone present.
Everyone felt as if they had just woken up from a dream. They wiped away the tears on their faces and tried their best to act as if nothing had happened.
Even more people hurriedly fled the scene. Excuses were not important. What was important was that their fragile hearts could not accept such a cruel and dark feeling. They did not want to stay there for even a second longer.
Xia Fei, who was immersed in playing, was startled. His fingers slowed down a lot, and the melody was no longer as unbearably repressed as before.
Xia Fei knew very well that the moment Tai crushed the glass was the moment when his control over his voice was at its weakest. Tai had cleverly found this weak point and produced a sound that could wake people up by crushing the glass. It was impossible to do so without a sufficient sense of music and a keen sense of opportunity.
Pursing his lips, Xia Fei somewhat reluctantly adjusted the melody to a range that everyone could accept. In fact, even Xia Fei himself was intoxicated by the thrill of confronting the Grim Reaper. Scenes of life and death flashed through his mind one after another.
Unfortunately, Tai's interference made him lose his passion, and the melody became dull.
Avrils face was pale as she heaved a heavy sigh. First, she was surprised by Xia Fei's performance, and secondly, Xia Fei's impromptu performance had left her breathless and stressed.
Soon, the third movement, Rebirth, began. The elegant melody pulled everyone's thoughts back to the vibrant spring, where everything grew and multiplied, and life continued here.
Li Guan and Li Mo stared at each other. Li Mo's eyes were filled with fatigue. The cowardly him had long since lost his will to fight, and Xia Fei's spectacular performance had extinguished the last bit of hope he had, leaving him feeling listless.
If not for his father, Li Mo would have fled this place of disappointment as soon as possible, never wanting to see Xia Fei ever again.
Li Guan's eyes were filled with disappointment. He was not a cowardly scion, and he would not admit defeat so easily. It was just that his son's performance made him feel bad as a father.
Raising his head to look at the old man with a goatee, he saw the latter wiping his tears with a handkerchief. Xia Fei's impromptu performance had nearly broken him down.
Seeing that Li Guan was looking at him, the old man quickly pulled himself together and nodded, pretending to glare at Xia Fei fiercely.
The truth was, it was all an act. His heart was still pounding.
"Knowing how to play the galaxy piano doesn't mean a person is good or bad. Some people have played for their entire lives, yet they still live in ignorance. Some people never have the chance to listen to music, yet they can still play the strongest music of their lives." Xia Fei said with a smile as he played the galaxy piano, as if he was telling a story from a long time ago.
Xia Fei's voice happened to blend in with the music. It was not loud, yet it traveled far with the music and entered everyone's heart. The crowd was extremely quiet as they pricked up their ears to listen.
"For a person without music in his heart, even if he was given the most expensive instrument in the world, he would only be able to play the most beautiful music in the world. For a person with music in his heart, even if he was given a leaf, he would be able to play the most beautiful music in the world."
Xia Fei's last sentence ended with the last note. The crowd was still immersed in it. Perhaps it was because of the music or Xia Fei's words, but they were still holding their breaths even after the song ended, as if they were afraid of ruining the atmosphere of the moment.
Xia Fei looked around and eventually fixed his eyes on the Li father and son. He said in a calm voice, "Mr. Li, are you satisfied with Xia Fei's performance?"
