It was impossible not to cause a sensation!
The World's Number One Zither Pavilion dared to call itself the World's Number One Zither Pavilion. Its status in Silver Moon City was self-evident. The World's Number One Zither Pavilion was the largest in the city. As the saying went, famous people tended to have a lot of problems. Once there was a major piece of news, it would immediately become the topic of conversation in the city.
The grandson of Lüyang Of Gojoseon came and framed an Elite Hall disciple in the World's Number One Zither Pavilion. Gu Hai of Elite Hall used 700,000 superior-grade Spirit Stones to redeem seventy Acquired Realm subordinates?
Did Elite Hall just swallow the insult? No! After leaving the World's Number One Zither Pavilion, he opened the World's Number One Zither Pavilion across the street and challenged the opposite party?
This was the rhythm of pinching him to death!
Not to mention the interest of cultivators in the secular world, cultivators were also very interested in this matter.
Over the past two days, they had been waiting to see how the World's Number One Zither Pavilion would take revenge.
Sure enough, in less than two days, the follow-up news came out. A group of cultivators was originally listening to the zither music outside the World's Number One Zither Pavilion. When they suddenly saw the notice on the opposite side, they immediately stopped listening and swarmed over.
"The goods will arrive in half a year? Pay first? Is Gu Hai crazy? What kind of piano is this? He wants me to pay first? "
"I heard that Jiang Zhanggang blocked the World's Number One Zither Pavilion's customers!"
"No wonder the goods will arrive in half a year. However, paying first and waiting half a year for the goods. How can he be stupid enough to pay first?"
"Piano? What is a piano?"
… … …
… … …
… … …
Everyone looked at the pre-sale notice written by Gu Hai on the notice with disdain. How could he do business like this?
However, the next notice made everyone's eyes widen.
"A piano not made of Spiritual Wood costs one hundred superior-grade Spirit Stones?"
"Look, the World's Number One Zither Pavilion's Extreme Zither costs one hundred middle-grade Spirit Stones! A piano costs one hundred superior-grade Spirit Stones. A hundred-fold difference. This is a slap in the face! "
"What a joke! I can't buy the Extreme Zither. With this money, I can buy several zithers made of Spiritual Wood. A Extreme Zither made of ordinary materials costs one hundred middle-grade Spirit Stones? This Gu Hai is even more joking.. increasing the price one hundred times? He is crazy! "
"Piano? What kind of piano? "
… … …
…
…
All the practitioners scolded Gu Hai one after another. How could someone give you a hundred high-grade spirit stones half a year in advance just for a zither made of ordinary materials half a year later?
A street away. The Number One Zither Building in the World naturally received the news immediately.
"It seems that there aren't many people buying zithers recently?" Young master An frowned.
Jiang Tianyi revealed a bitter smile and said, "Yes, Young Master An. Although Young Master An earned seven hundred and seventy thousand spirit stones a few days ago, it was a blow to the reputation of the world's number one zither building. Many cultivators did not dare to come and buy zithers! I'm worried … "
"Are you worried that this is a black shop?" Young master An said coldly.
"Yes, yes, a little. However, Young Master An need not worry too much. After a period of time, this storm will pass. After all, we have detained Gu Hai's subordinates, which is against the rules of business!"
"Hmph, rules?" Young master An snorted coldly.
"Young Master An, I have been thinking about why Gu Hai wanted to buy the Extreme Zither. Now I finally understand. This person is too shrewd. He bought the Extreme Zither just to set off his piano. A hundred times difference? Oh, he is promoting that his' Number One Zither Building in the Street 'is a hundred times better than our' Number One Zither Building in the World '! "Jiang Tianyi said coldly.
"A hundred times? Hmph, I think he is sensationalist. How can anyone spend a hundred times the spirit stones to buy a zither made of ordinary materials? "Young master An said coldly.
"Yes, I think so too!" Jiang Tianyi nodded.
Just as the two were talking, a customer downstairs suddenly asked.
"Do you sell pianos here? Show me one! "
"Piano?"
"Yes, the piano opposite is selling. Let me see what it looks like. It can be sold for a hundred high-grade spirit stones!"
"Uh, no!"
"No? Aren't you the Number One Zither Building in the World? Don't you have all kinds of zithers? Why don't you have any? "
… … …
… … …
… …
Every now and then, someone would come to ask about the piano out of curiosity. However, the Number One Zither Building in the World did not have a piano at all.
Young master An's face darkened. Jiang Tianyi frowned slightly.
"Manager, should we make a batch of steel zithers?" A servant beside him asked curiously.
"No!" Jiang Tianyi frowned.
"But many people are asking about it?"
"The word 'piano' was coined by Gu Hai. Many people will only use his as the first standard. If the one we make is far from his, it will only be sensationalist!" Jiang Tianyi shook his head.
"Yes, sir!" The attendant replied.
Young master An narrowed his eyes and looked at the Number One Zither Building in the Street opposite.
The Number One Zither Building in the Street VS the Number One Zither Building in the World! The news seemed to have grown wings and flew in all directions of Silver Moon City.
Everyone who heard the news thought that Gu Hai was a lunatic who was crazy about money! However, countless people were also looking forward to the piano. They wondered what it was like to make Gu Hai so confident.
In the city, there was a mountainous area shrouded in clouds. There were countless sounds of zithers in the outside world. A large group of zithers were playing. They just wanted someone to pass a qualification card to a villa in the clouds. This was the most prestigious place in Silver Moon City, Silver Moon Villa.
In Silver Moon Villa. In a pavilion.
The pavilion was surrounded by clouds and clouds. It was surrounded by mountains and forests. The mountains and forests were very beautiful.
A white-haired old man sat in the pavilion. He was holding a cloth in his hand and gently wiping a zither that seemed to be about to wither.
"Cough, cough, cough. Old man, are you going to die like me? Cough, cough, cough. Hahaha! "The white-haired old man wiped the zither gently.
A group of Silver Moon Villa disciples in green stood behind him. They were all very respectful and did not dare to breathe loudly.
"Has anything interesting happened in the city recently?" The white-haired old man wiped the zither and asked.
A person behind him immediately said with a solemn expression, "Villa Master, different things happen in the city every day. However, there is one that is very strange. The Water Division Leader of the Elite Hall challenged the Number One Zither Building in the World. Now, they are building momentum!"
"Oh?" The white-haired old Villa Master was slightly surprised and turned his head.
The green-clothed man respectfully told him what he knew.
The old Villa Master thought for a while and suddenly laughed, "It is indeed interesting. A zither? Steel is not suitable for the body of a zither. At most, it can be used to make the strings. Its sound is very unique and is very different from ordinary zither strings. It is not easy to sell a zither with steel strings unless you specially create a song for the unique sound of steel strings. "
"Create a song?"
"Yes. Zithers are easy to express, but famous songs are hard to find." The old Villa Master shook his head and sighed slightly.
"Yes. Villa Master, do you think that Gu Hai is crazy? "The green-clothed man asked in surprise.
"Let's wait two days and see. I have never seen a zither before." The old Villa Master shook his head.
"Yes, I will pay attention to this matter and report to you." The green-clothed man said respectfully.
"Okay." The old Villa Master nodded.
After that, the green-clothed man continued to talk about other interesting things in the city. The Old Manor Lord listened with a smile. It was as if at his level, there were not many things in the world that could surprise him. He would occasionally listen and smile.
After two days of fermentation, the number one zither building on this street had attracted the curiosity of countless cultivators.
Many people came to ask what a zither looked like and what a zither was. However, the officials of the Dahan kept silent. They only said that in two days, Gu Hai would show it to everyone.
Two days later, outside the number one zither building on this street, a large number of curious cultivators were watching from afar.
At the number one zither building, a zither master was playing the zither. Many people were not in the mood to listen. Everyone was looking at the balcony of the number one zither building.
At this moment, there was a group of Elite Hall disciples standing on the balcony. They were guarding a huge object in the center. The huge object was covered by a black curtain, so people could not see what was inside.
"That is a zither? It is so big. "
"It is one zhang long and five zhang tall. What kind of zither is that? Is this huge object a zither? "
"Is it a zither made of steel? What does it look like? "
…
…
…
Many people waited out of curiosity.
At this moment, even though Young Master An did not place Gu Hai in his eyes, he still led his subordinates to a secluded corner of the Number One Under Heaven Tower and looked at the heavily guarded balcony opposite them.
"A zither? Do you think that you can defeat the number one zither building by casually making something of a strange shape? What a joke! "Young Master An said with a cold smile.
Jiang Tianyi, who was at the side, nodded. Indeed, the number one zither building's reputation was not something that one or two strange musical instruments could shake. Among musical instruments, the zither was always supreme. If it was not the zither, no matter how good the musical instrument was, it would not work.
Seeing that it was not the zither, Jiang Tianyi relaxed.
Long Wanqing, Venerable Liu Nian, Shangguan Hen, Mu Chenfeng, and the others had never seen a zither before. When they saw the black curtain covering the zither, they also showed curiosity.
"Where is Gu Hai? Hurry up. What is that zither? It is so mysterious. What does it look like? "Mu Chenfeng asked, feeling somewhat curious.
Mu Chenfeng had not seen many musical instruments of this size before. Chimes? Huge drums? They did not seem to be of this shape.
"His Majesty is changing his clothes. Please wait for a moment!" Shangguan Hen said with a smile.
"Change his clothes? He needs to change his clothes just to play the zither? "Mu Chenfeng said with a frown.
Just as everyone was feeling anxious, Gu Hai slowly walked out of a room in the number one pavilion not far away.
The moment Gu Hai appeared, the surrounding crowd fell silent. This was because Gu Hai's attire was too strange. However, this set off Gu Hai's elegance. At the very least, the eyes of Long Wanqing and the many female cultivators in the surroundings lit up.
The short, black robes seemed to have been carved out by a knife. The front part was short while the back part was long. The back part was split like a swallow's tail. It looked very serious, dignified, and holy. The lower part of his body was a pair of shiny black leather shoes. He slowly walked towards the piano.
"What clothes are these?" Long Wanqing showed a hint of surprise.
"I heard from the Emperor that it is called 'Tuxedo' or something!" Shangguan Hen explained.
"Oh?"
The world was vast, and there were countless strange outfits. There would always be some special outfits. Although the tuxedo did not cause much of a commotion, it instantly captured the eyes of countless cultivators with a kind of visual dominance.
"Sensationalist!" Young Master An, who was opposite him, showed a cold smile.
"That's right. Selling the zither ultimately depends on the quality of the zither. No matter how good it is, it is just a vase!" Jiang Tianyi nodded.
"How are the preparations?" Young Master An asked faintly.
"Don't worry, Young Master An. I have already invited a group of zither masters. As soon as the piano performance is over, they will come forward and criticize him!" Jiang Tianyi said with a cold smile.
"Mm!" Young Master An nodded.
Gu Hai slowly walked to the piano.
He gently waved his hand.
Several Dahan officials pulled the black curtain. Suddenly, the piano was revealed in front of everyone.
It was a huge black strange zither with three legs. The paint on it was very bright, but there was a sense of nobility in the light. It looked like a triangular table.
Gu Hai gently waved his hand. A group of Dahan officials carefully lifted the huge cover. Instantly, the interior was revealed. It looked like countless strings and mechanisms. It looked very complicated.
A Dahan official handed a towel to Gu Hai. He gently wiped his hands and slowly sat down.
"This is a piano? It even has a stool? How does it play? "
"So this is a piano. It looks so noble!"
"It looks useless. Can it play?"
…
…
…
Many cultivators were curious.
Gu Hai slowly lifted the cover of the keys. Suddenly, 52 white keys and 36 black keys were revealed in front of everyone.
There were a total of 88 keys. Everyone was slightly stunned when they saw this.
"So many keys?" Jiang Tianyi raised his eyebrows.
"Is a piano like this?" Young Master An also frowned.
Seeing Gu Hai being so Solemnly, the two of them had a bad feeling.
Countless cultivators around them saw Gu Hai wearing a tuxedo and sitting in front of the piano. Solemnly, they also slowly stood up. Although there were still some people who showed disdain, the surroundings gradually quietened down. Even a zither master who was playing the zither curiously stopped playing the zither.
"Activate the array!" Gu Hai said calmly.
"Yes!"
A few Elite Hall disciples quickly activated an array around them. The array was transparent, but the surrounding void fluctuated slightly.
"Is this a sound amplification array? Is Gu Hai courting death? "Jiang Tianyi said with a glare.
"A sound amplification array? Is Gu Hai that confident? "
"A sound amplification array cannot amplify the zither master's state. It can only transmit the music. Hence, the intoxicated feeling of listening to a zither master might not be there after the sound amplification. It will only transmit the music. Everyone knows how to play the music. In that case, there will not be much of an advantage. Unless it is a new music piece! "
"Gu Hai is not using his state to amplify the music. Does he want to use the music to conquer everyone?"
"A sound amplification array can amplify the music. If he does not play it well, the reputation of this street's best zither pavilion will be ruined."
…
…
…
Countless people in the surroundings looked at Gu Hai in shock.
However, they saw Gu Hai reach out and press the first key.
Dang!
Everyone immediately stopped and looked at Gu Hai. Through the sound amplification array, this sound spread out in all directions. Although it did not fill the entire city, one-tenth of Silver Moon City's cultivators heard it.
"Piano. The sound of the zither is much more ethereal," many cultivators said at first.
Gu Hai's fingers continued to play, and the sound of the zither continued. At first, the crowd was still in shock, but they soon stopped.
There was no state or illusion. It was just the most ordinary music. However, as they listened, many people were immersed in the music.
Silver Moon City had been baptized by the zither for many years. The people in the city knew a little about the zither. They would more or less know how to appreciate music. Most of the time, they would know whether the music was good or not just by listening to it.
As the sound of the piano continued, many people slowly closed their eyes to feel it.
Gu Hai, who was playing the zither, saw that the surroundings were getting quieter and quieter. A faint smile appeared on his face.
Gu Hai was not a zither master. He was just a piano seller. In business, publicity was the most important thing. If one wanted to sell a good piano, they had to gain the upper hand.
Hence, Gu Hai had made a lot of preparations for the choice of the first song. There were countless zither masters here. Since he could not work hard on the state of mind, he had to choose a classic song. It was so classic that it was like a demonic tune that kept repeating in their minds.
The first song that Gu Hai chose was "Canon," the most powerful brainwashing divine song on Earth in the past.
On Earth, Gu Hai had heard some popular songs that were known as brainwashing divine songs. When they became popular, countless people sang and danced. However, no matter how brainwashing those songs were, they could not compare to Canon. No matter how popular those divine songs were, could they have been popular for close to a thousand years?
Since its birth, Canon had been an invincible legend in the music industry for hundreds of years.
When the piano had first appeared on Earth, it was not accepted by mainstream music. Many musicians looked down on this big guy. That was until a group of piano freaks appeared. Mozart, Chopin, Beethoven, Bach, and many other outstanding pianists slowly pushed the piano to the top. They created a classic piano song that was passed down from generation to generation. Only then did they slowly push the piano to the altar.
But how many people knew that in the music composed by Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, and other musicians, many of them used Canon? Beethoven's "Symphony of Fate", Bach's "Five Canon Variations", Pahelber's "Canon in D Major", and so on all used Canon.
Because "Canon" was not only a piano song, but also a kind of music style. It was like the general principles of some martial arts, extending countless changes.
A large number of musicians, either cut off a small part of Canon and used it in their own music, or made variations on the whole Canon.
Every country in the world has been using Canon. When he was young, Gu Hai had heard many popular songs with Canon in them. Many movies and TV series had variations on Canon in their background.
There were various variations on Canon. When Gu Hai was young, he heard that there were more than 2,000 versions.
More than 2,000 variations? Hundreds of years of inheritance, but more and more prosperous? Perhaps ordinary listeners did not think much of it, but in the past, musicians on Earth regarded it as a holy book, just like the Bible in the West of Earth.
As long as one was a musician, they would create at least one or two tunes related to Canon.
A palace-level tune, a demonic tune, a divine tune that would not fade for thousands of years.
Music could be without borders, and it could also be without world. As long as the same humanity, the same appreciation, a classic would always be a classic.
Perhaps Canon could not be considered the best tune in this world, but at this moment, it had indeed given countless zither masters a strong stimulant.
Gu Hai wanted this kind of feeling, using music to promote the piano.
Let this ethereal feeling hit the heart, so that as long as the divine tune "Canon" echoed in people's minds, the first thing they thought of was the piano.
The song that Gu Hai played was "Canon in D Major", the most perfect song in the Canon style.
"Dang dang dang dang dang, dang dang dang dang, dang dang dang dang …!" Canon was in progress.
