< Second chapter! >
The song had ended, but Lin Qing Yin was still standing there in a daze. His expression had not changed at all, and only his eyes were filled with confusion. The jade flute was still by his lips, and he was still in the posture of playing the flute. The sorrowful aura around him did not dissipate at all.
There was complete silence!
After a long time, Lin Qing Yin finally put down his hands. With a completely disheartened expression, he turned to Jun Moxie and said, "Brother Mo, for this first round, I do not request for Brother Mo to compete with me in playing the flute. Instead, I would like to ask Brother Mo, how is my Heart Shattering Chant? Where are the flaws? Who was it written for? If there are any regrets, how can it be remedied? From now on, where will my path be? "
When Lin Qing Yin said the words' I do not request for Brother Mo to compete with me in playing the flute ', Zhan Yu Shu's expression tightened, and a sinister look flashed across his eyes. But when he heard the next few words, his expression immediately calmed down.
From the way he heard it, these questions of Lin Qing Yin were simply purposely making things difficult for him. Everyone had their own stories in their hearts, and they would be struck by inspiration. Only then would they be able to compose something.
Using a song that he had just heard, he asked who this song was written for? This Mo Jun Ye had never even seen Lin Qing Yin before. How would he know who it was written for? If this wasn't purposely making things difficult for him, then what was it?
As for the flaws … and how to remedy them, that was even more ridiculous. Zhan Yu Shu had always prided himself on being a talented young man, and he was also rather knowledgeable in the dao of music. He felt that this song was the best he had ever heard in his life. Such a good song, and yet he was asking about the flaws!
If he really had to ask about the flaws, then other than the composer himself, everyone else's mental state was completely different from his. When it came to composing, the slightest difference in one's mental state could make a world of difference. How would Mo Jun Ye know?
And the last question, where would his path be in the future … this was even more difficult. You are someone who has always focused on learning music. Could it be that your path is still Xuan Qi? But … when he asked this question, it was as if he did not wish to continue in this field anymore.
If that was the case, then it would be hard to say …
Looks like this fellow still did not forget my warning! I want to see how this Mo Jun Ye handles this round. Zhan Yu Shu couldn't help but feel a little smug.
Actually, it wasn't just Zhan Yu Shu who thought this way. Everyone else, regardless of whether they were knowledgeable or not, had the same thoughts. In that moment, the way they looked at Lin Qing Yin was filled with admiration. This fellow was truly a dog that knew how to bite! Not only did he not bark, he even knew how to gain the goodwill of others before biting down viciously. Just one bite was enough to be fatal …
Then, looking at the Free and Natural Physique genius who seemed to be deep in thought, everyone began to gloat … Let's see how you will reply. In fact, the audience was already feeling a little regretful. Such a grand scene might have ended in just one round. There was nothing more to see!
A look of amusement appeared in the eyes of the music theory expert on the stage.
What these people did not know was that although Lin Qing Yin looked like he was deliberately making things difficult for them, he was actually going easy on them. This was something that those who did not immerse themselves in music would not understand. Because everything was told to Jun Moxie by the sound of the flute!
Whatever Jun Moxie heard, he only needed to say it out loud, and he would pass …
"This song, Heartbreaking Chant, is indeed not bad. It is indeed a rare song. If we look at it from the point of view of the song itself, there is no mistake at all. A song that breaks one's heart, where in the world can one find a soulmate! It can be said to be perfect! " Jun Moxie said slowly. "Only, if we look at it from the point of view of the song's artistic conception, it will be a little biased."
As Jun Dashao spoke up to here, the music expert on the judging panel was already visibly moved. His bright eyes stared at Jun Moxie's face, not blinking at all, afraid that he would miss out on the rest of his words.
"The so-called song is nothing more than the emotional sustenance of us performers. Regardless of whether it is sadness or happiness, or even rage or slaughter, it can all be expressed through music. However, other than expressing the performer's own emotions, the performer also has to be responsible for all those who have heard the song! A truly good song is one that is joyful but not obscene, sorrowful but not hurtful. After listening to it, one's body and mind will feel relaxed and at ease. Even if it is a sorrowful song, the intent is to evoke the same feelings in the hearts of those who listen to it, thus reducing the pressure on their hearts … Brother Lin's song is sorrowful, but it also causes those who listen to it to feel extremely stifled. After listening to the song, one could not help but feel a sense of hopelessness and despair. But it is completely different from the original meaning of the Dao of Music! Although it is not the exact opposite, it still feels as though it has gone astray! "
Jun Moxie smiled lightly. "It can be said that the most successful aspect of this song is also its biggest flaw!"
"Well said!" On the judging panel, the old man exclaimed excitedly. The others who were more knowledgeable also nodded their heads in agreement. Such a statement was not only accurate, it also hit the nail on the head, hitting the nail on the head!
Lin Qing Yin thought deeply for a moment before nodding his head slowly. "Then … since that's the case, how should we remedy it?"
"Remedy? It can be simple or difficult! " Jun Mo Xie said indifferently, "I'm not contradicting myself. It's just that this song is the voice of the heart. I've also said that this song has reached a state of perfection. There's nothing wrong with it. The real problem is your state of mind. Such a sorrowful song, yet your expression remained unchanged from start to finish. From this, it can be seen that you played this song with a state of extreme despair. The name 'Heartbreaking Hymn' already represents its true meaning. The so-called remedy is to change your mental state. As long as you change your mental state, the concept will change as well. If you are unable to change your mental state, any remedy would be meaningless. This is also the true meaning of what I said earlier, 'it can be easy or difficult'! "
"You might say that if you change your mental state of despair, you would lose the original meaning of this song. But I would like to ask you, is life really so hopeless? Why not try from a different angle? Try changing your mental state of despair into longing. That should be enough. I believe that the person who could make you compose this song wholeheartedly must have a very deep relationship with you. Furthermore, there must be many beautiful memories between the two of you … These memories are your most precious treasures, treasures that no one would be able to invade or plunder. If you were to think of these past events while playing this song, and even infuse those emotions into the song … I believe that it would definitely be different. At that time, we would only be able to hear sorrow and longing, and not despair! Only in this way can the 'Heartbreaking Hymn' be called a flawless song! It will allow Brother Lin and the person you are longing for to never be forgotten! "
Lin Qing Yin stood there in a daze, his eyes glistening with tears …
"As for who it was for … I've already vaguely mentioned it earlier. Brother Lin, if I'm not wrong, this song should have been written for your lover. "
Jun Mo Xie looked at him warmly and said, "And this lover of yours should have passed away due to an accident … It's not because the grieving person has other hugs. Otherwise, there should be resentment and hatred in your song. Since there is no such thing, the conclusion can only be …"
Lin Qing Yin let out a long breath and closed his eyes, muttering as if he was in a dream, "Not bad! Brother Mo is right. So what if the song is perfect?! A song that breaks my heart, where can I find a soulmate in the world! Xiao Ling … my Xiao Ling … I will never be able to see her again … "
In his tightly shut eyes, a beautiful smiling face suddenly appeared in front of him. Bright eyes, cute and adorable. Suddenly, it turned into a pair of misty eyes … a withered face lying on a sickbed …
In that instant, Lin Qing Yin's mind was in a daze. It was as though he had returned to the past, to the time when he and that lover of his whom he swore to live and die together, sitting facing each other under the moonlight, in the midst of wind and rain …
"Xiao Ling ah …" Lin Qing Yin let out a long sigh as tears flowed down his cheeks.
Jun Moxie fell silent for a moment before reciting softly, "It's hard to meet, but it's also hard to say goodbye. The east wind is weak, and the hundred flowers wither. The silkworm's silk only ends when it dies, and the candle's tears dry when it turns to ash … Brother Lin's love is truly admirable. However, if that Miss Xiao Ling were to see you like this, I'm afraid that no matter where she goes, she would be deeply worried and filled with hatred …"
This poem was truly worthy of being Li Shangyin's masterpiece. Although it was only half a poem, when it was recited word by word, it caused the entire audience to be moved! As Miao Xiao Miao chewed on these few lines, she felt a lingering fragrance in her mouth. She could not help but be intoxicated by it. Such deep love, such beauty … why was it that every single word that came from his mouth was so engraved into one's soul …
Suddenly, her heart tightened. If he had not experienced such a thing personally, how could he have written such a touching poem? Could it be that he's already … As she thought of this, a strange feeling rose up in Miao Xiao Miao's heart. It was as if she was feeling heartache for him … and also as if she was feeling sad for herself …
"The silkworm's silk only ends when it dies, and the candle's tears dry when it turns to ash …" Lin Qing Yin muttered in a daze. All of a sudden, a sense of sorrow welled up in his heart as he asked, "May I ask Brother Mo, what should I do from now on?"
"Follow your heart!" Jun Mo Xie looked at the sentimental man in front of him with some pity, "Brother Lin, you have your own path to take. You know what you should do, and what you shouldn't do … Being sentimental is not a bad thing, but don't let it become a cage for you. Break through this cage, and in this world, there's nothing you can't do. "
"Many thanks for Brother Mo's guidance!" Lin Qing Yin clasped his hands and bowed deeply, his face full of gratitude as he said, "Brother Mo's comprehension of the Dao of Music is indeed much better than mine! This lowly one admits defeat. Hur hur … joy is not lascivious, sorrow is not hurt … Qing Yin will definitely remember Brother Mo's teachings! It's a pity that after today's farewell, we will not meet again. Here, Qing Yin wishes Brother Mo to turn misfortune into fortune, turning misfortune into fortune, and achieving great things soon! "
"Many thanks for Brother Lin's auspicious words!" Jun Moxie smiled lightly.
The meaning behind Lin Qing Yin's words of 'turning misfortune into fortune, turning misfortune into fortune' was naturally referring to the perilous situation before them. His blessings were very subtle, and it even implied that he was cursing the Zhan Family brothers. How could Jun Moxie not understand this?
Lin Qing Yin laughed heartily and returned to his seat with his jade flute in hand.
The first battle, the Free and Natural Physique Great Prodigy Mo had won! Looking at the judges raising the 'victory' sign to Jun Moxie at the same time, Zhan Yu Shu's face turned extremely dark.
