"Let me, Zhou Guixiang, come." A female cultivator who only had the Immortal Realm stood up and said. Seeing that Wang Shiyao could pass the test so easily, she thought she was not bad. She walked directly to the turntable, turned the turntable, and the pointer finally
Stopped on the Hujia.
She walked aside, picked up Hu Jia, and played a piece. Although it was not as refined as Wang Shiyao's, it was still melodious. When it came time to score, several judges all gave five points.
When Zhou Guixiang saw this result, she showed an expression of disbelief and shouted: "Impossible, how could I only get twenty-five points? Is there anything wrong with my performance?"
None of the judges answered her, and Murong Yudie even called out: "Next one——"
"Wait, why did I fail? Is it because my music is not beautiful enough?" Zhou Guixiang interrupted her and asked loudly to several judges.
Murong Yudie looked at her and said coldly: "Although your music is quite beautiful, it can only be regarded as an ordinary person. It is acceptable to perform in a secular orchestra, but it is difficult to enter an elegant hall."
"Give me another chance. I don't know how much hard work I have spent and how many days and months I have waited to take this exam." Zhou Guixiang shouted unwillingly.
"Shut up! Get down here quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being violent!" Murong Yudie said with a change of expression, and at the same time, the aura on her body became fierce.
Zhou Guixiang was frightened by her momentum, and had to step aside angrily, lost in thought.
"Next!" Murong Yudie shouted.
But when everyone saw Zhou Guixiang returning with a broken sword just now, they were all frightened and did not dare to come forward again.
Murong Yudie urged: "If you don't hurry up, I'm going to name you, and the exam will be delayed and wasted time." Obviously, this woman's temper and patience are not very good.
At this moment, Lin Mufeng stood up and said with a smile: "Let me do it."
A trace of curiosity flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes, and he looked at him. Lin Mufeng came to the turntable and turned, and picked the guzheng item. There was another sigh. Because the guzheng is one of the most common musical instruments among people, everyone responded accordingly.
They all know how to play, so the standard must be much higher than that of ordinary musical instruments.
Lin Mufeng was as calm as water. He sat aside and played a beautiful piece of music. Sometimes the sound was high-pitched, making people feel like they were flying through the sky. Sometimes it was quiet, and sometimes it made people feel like they were boating on the lake. It was like there was a painting in the music, which made people think about it.
Even several judges couldn't help but close their eyes and savor it carefully.
When the song was played, the audience was still silent, and everyone seemed to be still immersed in the artistic conception of the music. Murong Yudie was the first to recall it. She looked at Lin Mufeng in surprise and said: "Your music is so beautiful, it is like the sound of nature."
Lin Mufeng smiled and saluted: "Sister, you are overly complimentary."
Murong Yudie looked at him deeply again and said, "Lin Mufeng, I remember you."
When it came to the scoring session, the five judges unanimously gave their scores, all of which turned out to be 10! This caused a shock in the entire audience. Even Wang Shiyao, who had just achieved a high score, stared at him closely, with envy shining in her beautiful eyes. Although her cultivation was definitely stable.
Lin Mufeng, in terms of musical attainments, is not as good as him.
However, Lin Mufeng didn't know that he was in big trouble. Because he performed so well, the next few contestants were eliminated one after another. The reason is very simple, just like having just eaten a sumptuous meal.
After that, eating those ordinary side dishes became boring. Murong Yudie and other judges' ears were also like this. Compared with Lin Mufeng's performance, the performance of several other candidates was really far behind.
The exam progressed very quickly. Seeing the number of people around him decrease one by one, Zhan Chen was also secretly anxious, because just now, the male compatriots who participated with him had been eliminated because they were the same as him, although they were better in cultivation.
He was a step ahead of the others, but his musical attainments were slightly lacking, and he failed to accumulate enough points to pass the level.
"Damn it, I should have taken the exam earlier if I had known it. Now I feel more and more unsure as I go to the back. My level is about the same as the two guys who were eliminated just now. I guess it will be difficult to get high scores." I have always said to myself.
Zhan Chen, who felt confident about his strength, became less confident
Getting up, he quietly glanced at the cold-faced Murong Yudie again, and thought to himself: "That woman is the most ruthless, and Liang has the lowest score. I estimate that it would be difficult for me to get six points with her, but five points."
That's good, now the key depends on Gong Xinyan."
At this moment, Zhan Chen suddenly saw Lin Mufeng on the side, looking towards him. His eyes were full of encouragement, as if saying: "Zhan Chen, come on, you can do it!"
He looked at Bai Guang Xinyan again and found that her attention seemed to be around him, with a bit of anxiety and a bit of encouragement in her eyes, so he finally made up his mind, stood up and faced Murong Yudie
He waited for several judges and said loudly: "Let me do it."
Murong Yudie asked: "What's your name?"
"My name is Zhan Chen."
"Okay, you go over and choose your own test questions."
Zhan Chen took a deep breath, walked to the roulette, and turned the roulette. The rapidly rotating roulette touched his heart. In the end, the pointer went from fast to slow, then from slow to stagnant, and finally the pointer was fixed on the guzheng.
superior.
Zhan Chen's heart moved, and he didn't expect that he would get the same test question as Lin Mufeng. This has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that Ouyang Hui once specially trained himself to practice guzheng. Among all the instruments, guzheng is the one he is better at, but
The disadvantage is that Lin Mufeng's previous performance was too amazing. Even if he performs well, he is still far behind him and may get a low score.
"Damn it, my luck is a bit bad!" Zhan Chen complained, and had to come to the side, picked up the guzheng, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and started playing. During the playing process, he recalled Ouyang Hui
Bit by bit, the professor got better and better, and the more he played, the better. When the song was finished, even he himself secretly praised: "This is probably my best performance! It depends on the result."
Zhan Chen stood up and stepped aside, his heartbeat began to speed up again. This time he joined the Qin Xiao Sect because he was determined to win and could not tolerate failure, so he was under great psychological pressure at this time.
At this time, several judges began to hold up their signs. The first was Liu Chunyin. She raised the sign in her hand with the word "six" written on it.
"Six points? It's so scattered." Zhan Chen's heart tightened, and he could probably guess how much he weighed.
Chen Qinglan was the second person to hold up a placard. Zhan Chen's heart tightened again. He saw that the jade placard in her hand had the word "five" written on it. This five-character seemed so dazzling that Zhan Chen felt like he was falling into the abyss.
I feel that if Chen Yuxiu and Murong Yudie give very low scores, then even if Gong Xinyan favors him, it will be of no use.
The third person to raise a sign was Chen Yuxiu. She gave it a six. Zhan Chen relaxed slightly, but he immediately became nervous again and looked at Murong Yudie, the most difficult woman.
Murong Yudie slowly raised the scoreboard in her hand, with the word "five" written on it. It was indeed an expected low score.
Zhan Chen's heart has sunk to the bottom, thinking that he will most likely lose the election. However, at this moment, there is another person whose heart is equally entangled with him, and that is Gong Xinyan, who is sitting on the judges' bench.
He delayed raising his card because he wanted to see the scores of the four people in front of him. As a result, Zhan Chen only got 22 points.
Gong Xinyan couldn't help complaining in her heart: "My sworn brother, why did you come to take the entrance examination of the Qin Xiao Sect? You just came to take the examination, at least you should practice your piano skills better.
If I come again, instead of being as ordinary as now, isn't this asking me to make a fool of myself?"
Although Gong Xinyan thought so, she still raised the scoreboard in her hand. When everyone saw it, there was an uproar because Gong Xinyan's scoreboard had the word "eight" written on it, which meant that she gave Zhan Chen eight points.
of high scores.
There was a lot of discussion immediately below. Although no one dared to speak out loud, chattering whispers floated over from the opposite side.
"What happened to Gong Xinyan? She actually gave eight points to that person named Zhan Chen. Doesn't that mean he can pass?"
"Yes, I don't accept it. My score is exactly twenty-nine points and I was eliminated. There must be something fishy in this!"
"Yeah, we can't just let it go!"
…
It was going to explode, because before Zhan Chen, more than thirty people had been ruthlessly eliminated, and the performance level of most of them was not much different from Zhan Chen.
Even Murong Yudie and other judges looked at Gong Xinyan in surprise, hoping she could give a reasonable explanation.
Gong Xinyan had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Anyway, in terms of music, everyone has their own understanding. The piece Zhan Chen played just now really moved me, so I gave him high marks for his abilities.
"
This explanation is too far-fetched, but Gong Xinyan has always been one of her own disciples, so it's hard for the other judges to say anything.
At this time, there was still noisy below, and Murong Yudie shouted loudly: "Quiet, everyone. The collective decision of our judges means everything. You only have to obey. If you still want to make noise, it will be up to me, Murong Yudie."
How about I personally take you out of the secret realm?"
Her words were considered semi-threatening, and the voices below immediately stopped, and everyone could only bury their dissatisfaction deeply in their hearts.
Zhan Chen breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and walked to the side to stand with Lin Mufeng. He finally managed to get through this with the help of Gong Xinyan.
When Lin Mufeng saw him coming, he immediately asked: "Zhan Chen, are you related to the judge named Gong Xinyan?"
Zhan Chen was stunned and nodded slightly, acquiescing, but he didn't say another word. Lin Mufeng smiled slightly and stopped delving into this topic. The two of them continued to watch the rest of the exam.
