The moment Crown Prince Jiu You's music flowed out, the entire place fell silent.
The nobles, high-level warriors, and lords held their breaths as they listened, for fear that their breathing would disturb the beautiful notes.
Søren also closed his eyes and listened quietly to Jiu You's song.
After the first few notes, Søren could feel that Jiu You's attainments in playing the zither were superior to his.
In other words, in terms of playing skills alone, he was no less than the piano princes on Earth.
Of course, that was normal. After all, he had studied in the Dragon Temple for more than a decade and majored in martial arts and arts.
In this world, Søren had heard four people play the zither. They were Suo Ningbing, Yiyun, Meng Tuoluo, and Jiu You.
Meng Tuoluo's attainments were the highest, but after she transformed into the Black Widow, her state of mind was in a mess and she no longer had the beautiful feelings. Hence, her skills had also declined greatly.
In that case, Jiu You was almost the person with the highest zither skills that Søren had ever seen.
Or rather, his skills were the highest.
Yes, it was his skills. The way he played was incomparably gorgeous, dazzling, and incomparably difficult.
To be honest, it would be difficult to get a high score for the song "Moonlight" that he composed. However, because of its difficulty, it could get a very high score.
That was because the song seemed to be made for dazzling skills.
At the beginning, the gentleness and slowness was extremely difficult to play because it was slow but not broken. Every note needed to be connected to each other in a poetic way.
Towards the end, the sound of the zither suddenly became intense and high-spirited.
Søren clearly felt that a lunar eclipse was coming, which was the so-called Heavenly Dog Eating the Moon.
Jiu You's hands were suddenly so fast that they couldn't be seen clearly.
His dazzling skills had reached the peak, and his hands were as ingenious as flowers and shadows.
Everyone present was not only fascinated by the music, but they also watched intently.
Many of the noble ladies were intoxicated by the light in their eyes. They looked at the pair of slender and powerful hands with boundless passion.
In the eyes of many noble ladies, what attracted them was definitely not martial arts, but looks, status, and temperament. There was no doubt that art and music were the most capable of showing these things.
Therefore, even if it was to attract the attention of the opposite sex, the children of nobles would still flock to music.
Even with his eyes closed, Søren could almost see how fast Jiu You's hands were at this moment.
The Heavenly Dog Eating the Moon section of this song was really difficult to sing.
Compared to the last song in the movie "The Pianist on the Sea" on Earth, it was even better.
If Søren were to play, he felt that he might not be able to persevere. At least, it would be difficult for him to perform as well as Crown Prince Jiu You.
This person's skills were truly unparalleled, causing people to gasp in amazement!
The rest of the song was dark and sorrowful.
It was because the entire moon had disappeared. The world became dark, the moon completely devoured by the heavenly hound.
At this moment!
The sound of the zither suddenly became sharp and high-spirited.
There was a flash of light.
A stunning and beautiful figure appeared in the darkness, piercing through the darkness between heaven and earth.
There was no doubt that this beauty came from the most beautiful woman present, Gui Qinshao.
Her beauty swallowed the darkness bit by bit, tore the night sky bit by bit, and saved the moon from the darkness of the heavenly hound.
In the end, the bright moon defeated the darkness and hung in the night sky again.
Its luster shone on the beauty's face.
For a moment, it was completely unclear whether the bright moon shone on the beauty or the beauty shone on the bright moon.
Finally, the song was played.
There was complete silence at first, and then thunderous applause sounded.
Even Søren applauded hard.
The first to stand up were Gui Qinshao and Gui Xingfu. Immediately afterward, everyone stood up and applauded.
Jiu You got up and bowed to thank everyone.
"This song should only be heard in the heavens. How many times can it be heard in the human world?" Gui Xingfu's praise finally expressed everyone's thoughts.
The aristocrats present were there to flatter Jiu You, so they had already thought of compliments in their minds. No matter how bad Jiu You's performance was, they could still praise him to the fullest.
However, after Jiu You finished playing, they couldn't praise him because he had a really good performance.
In the end, Gui Xingfu's praise could be considered to have spoken their hearts.
It was really too good. It was so good that it broke through their understanding. They couldn't use words to praise it because it was beyond their abilities.
Gui Qinshao was originally not very interested in things like art, but after hearing it, her beautiful eyes lit up and she looked at Jiu You with amazement.
She originally thought that he was just extremely handsome, but she didn't expect him to have such high artistic attainments.
His attainments could even completely influence the state of mind of others.
…
"Earl Søren, what do you think?" Jiu You asked complacently.
"The Crown Prince's playing skills are unparalleled," Sauron said.
Jiu You frowned. He knew that his advantage lay in showing off his skills. However, in the top-notch art world, this was a little derogatory.
Hence, he continued to ask, "Let me ask you, what do you think of the song I made?"
Søren said, "It's very novel and bold. The bright moon shines and is serene and quiet. In the end, the Heavenly Hound attacked and the bright moon was swallowed by darkness. A beauty appeared, and the bright light pierced the darkness and saved the bright moon in the sky. In the end, the bright moon in the sky seemed to shine only for her. "
After hearing Søren's explanation, he couldn't help but be stunned and amazed.
It was very, very difficult to hear the story behind a song.
However, Søren only listened to it once and explained it perfectly. This was a very high artistic sensitivity. Most importantly, Jiu You felt that his thoughts had been seen through, so he was proud and indignant at the same time.
Everyone present initially only felt that the song was pleasant to listen to, but they didn't expect it to have such a layer of meaning. They were even more amazed.
It turned out that the entire song was just to contrast Gui Qinshao's beauty.
Moreover, he had ingeniously used the story of the Heavenly Hound eating the moon and the beauty saving the moon to contrast the entire song.
It was too exquisite.
Meanwhile, Søren was complaining in his heart, 'Jiu You is really shameless in order to win a girl's heart. You can even come up with a joke like the beauty saving the moon. This kind of romance is too … too exaggerated and too mushy. '
In the eyes of artists, this song was not of high style and was a little gaudy. However, one had to admit that the lethality of this song when used to pick up girls was completely unparalleled.
To elevate a girl's beauty to this level and express it in such a gorgeous and romantic way, even the moon could be saved. There were more beautiful women in the world.
Sure enough, after listening to Søren's explanation, Gui Qinshao's beautiful face blushed. This was a sign of her inner joy and intoxication.
All girls liked to be praised for their beauty. The key was whether the praise was refined or not.
Jiu You said, "In that case, Bufan, please give me a score, Earl Søren."
Søren thought for a while and said, "The Crown Prince's attainments in playing are 9.5 points. As for this song, I can only give it 8 points. It's too gaudy, as if it was specially made to show off. "
As soon as he said that, Jiu You's expression changed completely. That was because Søren didn't lie, nor did he mean to lower his score. He directly exposed Jiu You's scheme.
When everyone present heard this, they were immediately indignant, especially many noble women, who questioned and ridiculed Søren.
"Well, Søren, you're completely jealous. You'd be great if you were half as good as Jiu You's bullet."
"8 points? You can totally get 10 points, or even 11 points, which is even higher than full marks. "
"A playboy will always be a playboy. He only knows how to be jealous of the virtuous and capable. Our eyes are clear."
"Søren, you're just a prodigal. What do you know about art? You only know how to squander and harm good women. It serves you right that your family's territory has been occupied and you deserve to be driven out like a stray dog. "This girl was obviously a fanatic fan of Jiu You, and her words had escalated to a personal attack.
Jiu You suddenly raised his hands and stopped everyone's ridicule and ridicule of Søren.
Then, he laughed out of extreme anger and said, "Good, good, good. In that case, I'd like to appreciate Earl Søren's song. I'd like to see how high the artistic realm is and how extraordinary it is. Everyone, quiet down. Let's wait for Earl Søren to perform for us. Let's see how elegant it is! "
Hence, everyone present reluctantly quietened down and sat back in their seats, waiting for Søren's performance with critical eyes and expressions.
However, many people were still whispering and pointing at Søren, expressing their doubts and disdain.
They decided that even if Søren's performance was not bad, they would still judge him as worthless. After all, Søren was now a stray dog, and he had become Prince Jiu You's rival in love.
…
Søren closed his eyes.
Originally, he had two choices.
The first choice was the more flashy and intense "Turkish March". He immediately changed the name and changed it to "Raging Waves".
The second choice was "Carmen's Fantasia."
However, Prince Jiu You had already set the title to echo his "Moonlight," so neither of the above two choices could be accepted.
It was easy to directly echo his "Moonlight," as Master Beethoven happened to have a "Moonlight Song."
This song went from slow to intense. Not only was it of a high artistic level, but it could also be used to show off.
However, if he were to face the artists of the Dragon Temple at this time, this song would undoubtedly be the most suitable to conquer their artistic hearts.
However, the audience at this time was a group of nobles and high-ranking warriors who did not have a high artistic level.
Therefore, this "Moonlight Song" was not suitable.
He had to choose a tune. Just two notes were enough to pierce one's heart and soul. It made them feel that … What kind of song was this? How could it be so moving? It could be so amazing.
Søren wanted to achieve the effect of killing Jiu You in seconds.
Just one or two notes were enough to completely kill Jiu You's dazzling song.
Therefore, the song that Søren chose was China's thousand-year-old classical song, the artistic treasure "Spring River Moonlit Night".
How amazing was this song?
At the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games, the first line that Dan Jiao sang instantly conquered everyone. It didn't matter what race or country he was from.
It was truly the sound of nature. No matter who it was, even if they had never heard this song before, their first reaction after listening to it was that their hearts trembled and their hair stood on end.
"F * ck, what kind of song is this? How could it be so amazing? How could it be so good? "
Søren had already evaluated Jiu You's original song "Moonlight". Because it was a dazzling song, he felt that it was very nice when he listened to it when it was performed.
However, after listening to it, the taste became fainter and fainter, and he felt that it was not good enough. In fact, he might even regret praising this piece of music.
After all, Jiu You was just a person who liked to show off his skills, not an artistic master.
The "Spring River Moonlit Night" that Søren was about to play was specially arranged for the piano, which fully displayed the ethereal and breathtaking nature of this song.
Because of its special physical properties, the harpsichord was more suitable for playing this song than the piano.
Therefore, the effect of the performance would be completely captivating.
Søren looked at the noisy crowd and Gui Qinshao, who had become lazy again, and said, "The song I'm going to play is called 'Moonlit Night'."
"Tsk!" The aristocratic girls who supported Jiu You were immediately disdainful. Jiu You was playing "Moonlit Night" while others were playing "Moonlit Night". That was shamelessly following the trend.
Søren took a deep breath, condensed his Dragon Power and mental strength, and gently pressed the keys to start the performance.
"The spring tide connects the sea, and the bright moon on the sea rises with the tide!"
Suddenly, an extremely ethereal and breathtaking note rang out.
In an instant, there was a dead silence. All the noise, all the whispers, came to an end.
With just a few notes, everyone's hearts were instantly pierced through in the midst of their carelessness.
This … This was too beautiful and amazing!
This amazing note did not even flow from between Søren's fingers, but really … flew from the Nine Heavens.
It was only fourteen notes, but that kind of abstruse, that kind of otherworldly charm, instantly flowed into everyone's ears.
It was the kind of sound that rang in one's heart and lingered after one's ears heard it!
A real artistic treasure ignored race and crowd, and was an all-around hit.
Even a person who didn't understand art at all would feel that it was the best after listening to it.
Therefore, with less than 20 notes. Søren's performance of "Moonlit Night" completely defeated Jiu You's song!
That's right, it was completely defeated, and there was nothing left.
Jiu You's vulgar song could really only be used to tempt the ears, but it could not enter the heart or deceive the soul.
In the face of Sauron's performance of the thousand-year-old famous song, the artistic treasure was instantly defeated by this kind of otherworldly ethereal.
It only needed 14 notes!
