When the rankings of the top twenty people were reported, the main hall in front had been tidied up. At this time, a beech wooden piano case was sitting in the middle. Frankincense was burning in the incense burner above it. Under the faint smoke, a completely black instrument appeared.
The guqin is placed on top of it, its strings are faint and the silk strings are trembling, as if the gentle breeze will play an ancient tune in the next second.
Pei Qu was ranked first, so naturally he was the first to take the stage. As soon as he sat down, his eyes swept over the piano seat, and his heart was shaken.
"It's actually 'Phoenix Tail'!"
The Fengwei is a qin made by famous masters of the current dynasty. Although it cannot be compared with the "Agarwood" kept in the palace, it is still an extremely rare and famous instrument. Such a good qin, the official school is willing to let its students use it in the competition.
!
"Yes, this piano is the dean's private collection. If you keep it today, I believe that everyone will be able to play the pure and elegant music that can soothe people's hearts."
When Pei Qu heard this, he couldn't help but bowed deeply to Shaolun, then he knelt down on the futon and concentrated for a moment before slowly placing his ten fingers on the strings.
The next moment, the ancient Shen Yun sound sounded, the melody was long and smooth, as if hearing the sound of wild geese, and also like seeing a flock of wild geese looking up in the sky. At this time, the rustling autumn wind, the sound of the bamboo leaves rubbing together was strangely consistent with it, and there was even more clear autumn leaves.
Meaning.
Pei Qu's fingers were caressing, the sound of the piano continued continuously, the melody rose and fell, but there was a hint of openness and sensitivity in the quiet beauty. Until the end of the song, the students were still immersed in it and could not come back to their senses for a long time.
"Okay, okay!"
Dean Shao Lun smiled all over his face, twirled his beard slightly, and praised it three times in a row, "What a great song, 'Goose Falling on the Flat Sand'."
"With a proficient piano skill and lofty intentions, I took the sky high, the clouds are clear, the wind is calm, the sand is calm, the wind is flying thousands of miles, the sky is flying, and the ambition of the swans is used to express the heart of a wanderer."
“A real masterpiece!”
There is no need for Shaolun to sigh anymore, the students are all convinced.
"Pei Wenzheng has finished playing this piece, and if these dozen people come to play again, I'm afraid the sound will not be heard."
"I think so. After all, Pei Wenzheng comes from a master of music. He has been influenced by it since he was a child. How can he be different from other people who became a monk halfway."
After Shen Ling came on stage, there was a constant buzzing sound below, either praising Pei Qu for his heavenly voice or speaking ill of those who came after him.
But Shen Ling just knelt down firmly on the futon, calmly, put his fingers on the strings, gently twirled them and caressed them slowly, his eyes were steady, as if he had never heard these movements at all, or he didn't care at all.
Another song "Goose Falling on the Flat Sand".
"The skill is acceptable, but it is quite ingenious and does not bring out the artistic conception of the music."
Shaolun glanced at the young man who was still kneeling upright without making any judgment, but the master walked out in a row. From just a few words, he knew that Shen Ling's music was completely different from Pei Wenzheng's.

"I just said, so what if it's Xiao San Yuan. He only studies the Four Books and Five Classics, but he has no intention of cultivating his moral character."
"Brother Wang, what you say makes sense."
Shen Ling stood up, bowed to the Master, and then stepped down. When he passed by the gossiping students, his eyes did not drift, and he showed no trace of anger or resentment at being humiliated or scorned. This demeanor made the two people look flustered and embarrassed.
.
With Pei Quzhuyu in front, the people who came up from behind, no matter how hard they tried, could not play the artistic conception again. After Li Shoucheng went up to play the last song, several masters did not have time to burn a stick of incense.
Out of the top five.
Sure enough, there was no Shen Ling.
"Brother Shen, you and I have been practicing hard for three months. It's good to be in the top twenty. If you don't get ranked this time, don't take it to heart."
Li Shoucheng expected that he would not get a ranking, so he had no expectations. It was just that Brother Shen was a criminal, so if he failed this time, he might have failed for the first time in his life, but he should not get depressed.
He moved to Shen Ling's side when no one was paying attention, whispered comfort, and then moved back in small steps. He didn't expect that just as he stood up, he heard a whisper from the young man beside him.
"Thank you, Brother Li, for your concern."

Brother Shen! Is it really such a big blow to not win the first place? You would thank me no matter what! qqxsnew
The music test had ended in the middle of the morning. At noon, everyone had dinner in the official school cafeteria. Most of their chats were about praising Pei Qu.
"Music and rhythm are all about talent and perseverance. Nothing can be compared to sharpening your skills on the spot."
The scholars in the promotion class gathered together and said something. Pei Qu was surrounded by everyone and raised his head to stop them from gossiping about Shen and Li.
"Don't be like this, everyone. Brother Shen and Brother Li have never been exposed to piano art before. They can make such progress in three months, which is really rapid."
"Teaching archery skills this afternoon, everyone should focus on this."
The young man spoke softly, and then he seemed to feel something. He raised his head and saw the two people approaching from a distance. He stood up and apologized to everyone, and then went to greet them.
Everyone who was promoted looked at each other in confusion. After a long time, a scholar sneered and said: "I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup this Sanyuan case leader poured into Brother Pei, so that he could leave me and wait for him. Huh, wait until the afternoon of shooting." Try, I should teach him how to be a talented person!"
The rest of them all nodded with sympathy, either to give Shen Ling a good look or to make the Xuanjia class look good.

By the afternoon, the layout in front of the hall had already been changed. Rows of archery targets were standing on the square, with clusters of bamboo bows and arrows beside them. They were waiting for the scholars to arrive, register and start the competition.
In the afternoon, the competition started at the 50th step. Each person took five arrows and ranked them according to their points. Then the top 20 were taken and the competition started again at the 60th step.
Class C went first this time, and after one round, several people hit the bull's-eye, which surprised both Class A and Class B who were originally full of confidence.
"Huh, the people in Class C do have some brains. They know how to learn and how to play music. They can't compete with us, so they work hard on this archery skill."
"But I think it's a useless effort. The physical competition only involves archery. No matter how high the score is, it's of no use."
"What Brother Liu said is true, so let's just let them go."
Just at noon, he said that he wanted to say yes to Shen Ling, a good-looking scholar, and then he mocked the cheerful Class C academy student.
Class B competed with Class A. At noon, all the eloquent scholars were standing fifty steps away from the shooting target. Some of them narrowed their eyes, and some bared their teeth while drawing their bows. After a few movements, they hit the target. There are only a few, but there are countless who miss the target.
"this……"
Everyone who was promoted couldn't help but hide their faces, and only became arrogant again when they returned to the class, "There is Brother Wenzheng in my class who has not yet shot, what are you so anxious about!"

Sure enough, Pei Qu was among the victims, and beside him was Shen Ling.
The first person promoted to Jia and the first person declared first, one was the leader of the previous college examination, and the other was a person who was in the Sanyuan Association. The school had long been debating which of the two people's knowledge was better and which was worse. At the time of this examination , everyone present has a good look.
Pei Qu was usually gentle and gentle, but at this moment, he was extremely fierce when he bent his bow and shot an arrow. The arrow shot out and hit the red heart.
As for Shen Ling, his temperament was as clear and cold as before. He turned a blind eye to Pei Qu's achievements just now. He just held a light bow in his hand and pointed at the arrow quills without squinting.
The young man was pure and handsome. Just by standing there, the voices of the people around him gradually died down and the clouds stopped and the wind stopped. Just when everyone was holding their breath, he quickly shot an arrow. With a "duh" sound, the arrow hit the target. There was a slight earthquake, and an arrow cluster was placed in the red heart, which hit the target three points.
No distinction between superior and inferior!
When everyone was exclaiming, other scholars came on stage, but none of them had such amazing skills.
After the target shooting competition at fifty paces, it was already sunset, but there were still the first twenty people who had to compete at sixty paces.
But as the sun sets, the light and shadow intersect, which actually has a great impact on shooting skills. In addition, the distance is widened, and the strength of the back of the arm is required to increase. Not many of the twenty people selected before can hit the red heart, and even some There were a few misses.
"Brother Pei can definitely hit it!"
"Brother Shen is even better!"
At this time, only Pei Qu and Shen Ling were left on the field. Students from the two classes gathered together. You encouraged me and I cheered. Plus students from other classes watching the excitement, the square of the official school was filled with people. There was a lot of buzz and excitement.
"These students are all a little carried away!"
Mr. Liu, an old school man, couldn't bear to see this group of scholars behave like this, so he wanted to be disciplined.
But Jushang Shaolun stopped him gently and said with a smile: "This is what young people should do, Master Liu, just let them do whatever they want."
When the dean spoke, Master Liu couldn't say anything anymore. He just secretly remembered the ones who screamed the most fiercely and waited for the competition to end before punishing them.
The archery test concluded with Shen Ling taking first place and Pei Qu taking second place. Not to mention how excited the students from Xuanjia were privately, other students felt an inexplicable excitement in their hearts.
People like Pei Wenzheng and Shen Anshou are naturally outstanding in their demeanor, but since we can study in the same academy as them, it shows that we still have some strength. How can we be content with lagging behind instead of trying our best to move forward?
