'You shouldn't have such strange expectations for senior brother...'
Sighing secretly, Fang Qiuyao took out a Xuelang stone bottle from the Qiankun Ring and handed it to Jiang Beiran and said: "Brother, thank you very much for your help this time. I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of our whole family."
"There is no need to pay such a big gift, after all, I didn't help you in vain." Jiang Beiran said and took the bottle.
Seeing his senior brother pick up the Xuelang stone bottle and shake it, Fang Qiuyao explained: "Senior brother, this Mahayana secret water is a treasure passed down by our ancestors. Although our ancestors stipulated that only one drop can be used in one generation, but for our generation,
That’s all that’s left.”
"One drop?" Jiang Beiran glanced at Fang Qiuyao curiously, "How to use it?"
"When mixed with water, a drop of Mahayana secret water can give a pond of water some of its characteristics. When this water is used to irrigate medicinal fields, very high-quality medicinal materials will appear."
"..."
Jiang Beiran was silent for a while after listening, not knowing whether his family was thrifty or wasteful.
However, as a small family, a treasure that ranks forty-five on the rare treasure tree is indeed overkill for them.
This is like a middle-aged man who accidentally obtained a supercomputer and ended up using it to play Minesweeper.
I even sighed while playing.
"Super computing is super computing, and there is no lag at all when playing."
What is a waste of natural resources? This is a waste of natural resources.
According to the rare records, the function of the Mahayana secret water is to "resurrection" the spiritual objects.
For example, if a magic weapon is completely damaged during a battle, it is almost impossible to repair it in this case. However, if you use Mahayana secret water, you can make the magic weapon come back to life on its own.
In addition, there are various withered elixirs, broken gems, broken treasure clothes, etc. As long as you have spirituality, you can use the Mahayana secret water to revive them.
Therefore, although Jiang Beiran felt that it was very wasteful to use the spiritual power of the Mahayana secret water to irrigate the medicinal fields like the Fang family did, it might be the most suitable method for them.
It is estimated that their ancestors were also extremely lucky. They accidentally obtained some Mahayana secret water, but they did not dare to sell it, otherwise they would definitely be killed and the treasure taken away in minutes.
That's why he finally came up with this strategy to let the Mahayana secret water produce the highest value for him.
However, after this incident, although the Mahayana secret water was taken away by him, it must have brought value to the Fang family far beyond what it was used to irrigate the medicinal fields before.
After all, as long as the Xun family is not stupid, they will definitely pay a large amount of compensation when criticized by their own sect leader, otherwise they will not even be able to pass the test in their own hearts.
After collecting the Mahayana Secret Water into the Qiankun Ring, Jiang Beiran turned around and saw Liu Zijin and the three sisters of the Yu family standing outside the pavilion and peeking in.
"Come here." Jiang Beiran waved to the four of them.
"Yes!" The four of them immediately agreed and came over to stand in a row with Fang Qiuyao.
"Is this a song you composed together?"
Liu Zijin and the three sisters of the Yu family shook their heads after listening to it, and then pointed at Fang Qiuyao and said: "The whole song was composed by Qiu Yao (Sister Qiu Yao)."
After hearing this, Fang Qiuyao lowered her head a little shyly and said: "The score is not good... Please forgive me, senior brother."
"No need to be modest." Waving his hands, Jiang Beiran walked to the side and sat down. "I want to hear you each play the song just now. Let's start with you, Fang Qiuyao."
The five people blinked their eyes after hearing this, but soon they all showed expressions of surprise.
'It seems that senior brother really likes this ensemble!'
Overjoyed, Liu Zijin immediately pulled the three sisters of the Yu family and stood aside, leaving the "stage" to Fang Qiuyao alone.
"call……"
Taking a deep breath, Fang Qiuyao took off the suona hanging from her waist, looked at her senior brother and asked, "Can I start?"
"Well, let's get started." Jiang Beiran nodded.
When the penetrating sound sounded, Jiang Beiran began to feel it seriously, but what he felt was not the skill of the suona, but the [phantom sound] that made his heart surge just now.
However, when he finished playing the song, Jiang Beiran felt that Fang Qiuyao's performance was very good, but that was all. This time, let alone his excitement, it could even be said that he had no fluctuations in his heart, and he even felt like eating.
This really surprised Jiang Beiran. After all, the suona played the leading role in the ensemble just now, and it was only after it sounded that the bells started to ring uncontrollably.
But this time, although Xia Lingdang standing next to him also showed a happy expression, it was far from the flushed cheeks just now.
"Not bad." Nodding towards Fang Qiuyao, Jiang Beiran looked at the other four people and said, "Next one."
"Second sister...I'm a little nervous." Yu Guimiao, who was holding Yaoqin, looked at Yu Guituan and said.
"I...I have a bit too."
It was obviously not a school exam, but Yu Guituan felt that performing in front of her seniors was very important, so important that her calves were trembling a little.
"Sister...where are you?" Yu Guituo looked at Yu Guishui and said.
"Gudu..." Yu Guishui swallowed a big gulp of saliva, "Well... I'm so nervous that I even forgot how to play the song..."
Looking at the extremely nervous three people, Liu Zijin picked up her red rose pear pipa and said, "Then I'll go first, and then you can get ready."
"Thank you, Sister Zijin." The three sisters shouted at the same time.
"Why are you so polite?" After Liu Zijin said this, he came to Jiang Beiran and sat down in front of Jiang Beiran with his pipa in his arms.
Raising his head, Liu Zijin was about to ask if he could start, when he met his senior brother's scrutinizing gaze.
"hiss……"
Liu Zijin gasped, and the fingers that pressed the pipa started to tremble a little.
'Senior brother... is looking at me with such a stern look, this look... is so hot.'
Seeing Liu Zijin's delay in responding, Jiang Beiran said directly: "Start your playing."
"yes……"
Liu Zijin came back to his senses after hearing his senior brother's voice and let out a long sigh of relief.
'Calm down...I want to calm down.'
Then he started to strum the strings.
It was okay at first, but when he realized that his senior brother had been staring at him closely, Liu Zijin's hands couldn't stop shaking again, causing him to play several wrong notes.
"Stop." Jiang Beiran shouted when he noticed that Liu Zijin was getting more and more confused.
After hearing this, Liu Zijin immediately let go of his hand on the string, and before she could speak, Jiang Beiran frowned and said, "What's going on? You weren't that bad at playing just now."
"hiss!!!"
'So bad...so bad...so bad...'
These three words echoed in Liu Zijin's heart over and over again, making her whole body tremble.
This is the first time in her life that someone has used the word "bad" to describe her piano playing. Normally, even if she accidentally plays a wrong note, others will just pretend that they didn't hear it, and even use complimentary words to say that she made a good mistake.
.
Even her teacher would only comfort her softly and ask her to practice a few more times.
But just today...someone actually used the word "rotten" to describe her Pipa.
Coupled with the disgusted expression of his senior brother, Liu Zijin felt that he could hardly hold Pipa.
'Obviously being criticized by senior brother should be a sad thing...but why...why is my heart beating so fast.'
But the three sisters of the Yu family in the distance were watching and worried.
"It turns out that Sister Zijin is more nervous than us."
"Yes, but she still does it for us..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Sister Zijin has sacrificed too much for us."
After being moved for a while, Yu Guishui picked up his Huali bent-neck erhu and said firmly: "I'll go and replace Sister Zijin."
However, as soon as she leaned over, she saw Sister Zijin reaching out to stop her and said: "No...it doesn't matter, I can do it."
Seeing Sister Zijin's slightly trembling body, Yu Guishui was moved beyond measure, so she walked to Liu Zijin with firm steps and said: "Sister Zijin, let me do it first, I'm ready."
Liu Zijin was reluctant to leave at this moment, so he continued to wave his hands and said: "I...I really don't have anything to do with it."
But Jiang Beiran listened to Liu Zijin's increasingly rapid breathing, and still waved his hand and said: "You go down first and then get ready. Let Yu Guishui come first."
'I was disliked by my senior brother again...'
This familiar feeling made Liu Zijin unable to stop.
She really wanted to play the wrong song again and let her senior brother criticize her even more fiercely, but she knew that she could not disobey his senior brother's orders.
So she had no choice but to stand up and said to Yu Guishui: "I'm sorry, I didn't..."
"No!" Yu Guishui shook his head vigorously, "Sister Zijin, you are already very good. We are all very grateful to you."
With a slight nod of his head, Liu Zijin patted Yu Guishui on the shoulder and said, "Come on."
"Um!"
Nodding vigorously, Yu Guishui sat on the bamboo chair and set up the erhu. Looking at the two sisters cheering for him beside him, Yu Guishui smiled and nodded at Jiang Beiran.
"Brother, I'm ready."
"let's start."
This time, Yu Guishui's erhu performance was very normal, and it can be said that he perfectly reproduced the performance just now.
But Jiang Beiran still didn't feel any element of [phantom sound].
"Next." Jiang Beiran continued to wave towards the remaining two sisters.
As the second sister, Yu Guituan grabbed her cold night flute and walked towards her senior brother.
…
Soon, Jiang Beiran listened to Yu Guituo's playing and Yu Guimiao's playing together, but still no [phantom sound] appeared.
Then the only possibility left is...
‘Liu Zijin, are you ready?’ Jiang Beiran looked at Liu Zijin and asked.
Liu Zijin, who was holding the pipa, trembled all over and nodded: "Yes, I'm ready."
"Then come."
After adjusting her breathing, Liu Zijin sat down on the bamboo chair in front of Jiang Beiran again, but this time, she suppressed her desire and did not open her eyes to look at her senior brother's expression.
This time, the mellow and rich pipa sound finally sounded normally, and Liu Zijin no longer played any wrong note because he was too excited...oh no, nervous.
But it was useless, Jiang Beiran still didn't feel the [Phantom Sound].
'Do they have to play together to have the phantom sound effect?'
Just give it a try. Jiang Beiran clapped his hands twice and said: "As expected of a disciple of Shuijingtang, the level of each instrument is indeed excellent, but I still like your ensemble better."
After hearing this, Yu Guimiao immediately shouted actively: "Then let's play it again for our senior brothers!"
She had practiced hard for so long for this ensemble, and she felt it would be a waste if she only played it once.
"Well, that's what I meant." Jiang Beiran nodded.
The Five Golden Flowers obviously did not expect that their senior brothers would like their ensemble so much. They were all very motivated and vowed to make this ensemble performance even more perfect.
Standing in a circle, Liu Zijin looked at Yu Guimiao and said, "Miaomiao, it's you who should start."
"no problem!"
As Yu Guimiao plucked the strings and began to play the Yaoqin, several other people quickly joined the ensemble, and they all showed their full strength with full enthusiasm.
'coming!'
When the song reached an exciting part, the same excitement in Jiang Beiran's heart as before was instantly awakened. Looking back at Xia Lingdang, her cheeks were indeed flushed.
‘Is it true that an ensemble will produce phantom sounds…’
But Jiang Beiran still didn't make a complete conclusion. Instead, he pricked up his ears and continued to listen carefully, carefully distinguishing every note that passed into his ears.
Finally, when the climax of the song came, Jiang Beiran showed an expression of sudden realization.
'I see……'
When the song ended, Jiang Beiran applauded the five of them again.
The five people who felt that this performance was even more perfect than before looked at each other, smiled, and finally saluted Jiang Beiran.
When the five people raised their heads, Jiang Beiran waved to them and said, "Liu Zijin, Fang Qiuyao, you two come here first."
Liu Zijin and Fang Qiuyao were stunned after hearing this, but they still said "yes" and stood on both sides of the senior brothers.
Seeing that they were left behind, the three sisters of the Yu family suddenly felt a little uneasy and all of them became nervous.
"Can you tell me about the journey to the east?"
"Yes." Yu Guishui took the lead in replying.
"Well, the three of you will sing a piece together for me to listen to."
After hearing this, Yu Guimiao couldn't help but whispered: "Is it because I didn't play somewhere just now?"
After hearing this, Yu Guituo consoled him: "It's possible that I didn't play well."
Although Yu Guishui was a little overwhelmed, as the eldest sister, she still nodded and said: "Yes, senior brother."
After setting up the erhu again, Yu Guishui looked at the two sisters behind him and said, "I'll start this time."
"Okay." Yu Guituo and Yu Guimiao were ready to agree at the same time.
Qudong is a large county in Fengzhou famous for its beautiful scenery. This journey to Qudong composes a piece of music that makes tourists feel happy when they go to Qudong. The melody is beautiful and friendly, the style is elegant and comfortable, and the rhythm is relaxed and lively.
, the structure is concise and complete.
It sounds like a refreshing breeze.
The performance of the three sisters of the Yu family was also very good, and they quickly verified Jiang Beiran's suspicion just now.
It is not that the ensemble of these five people will produce [phantom sounds].
But when these three sisters played at the same time, a [phantom sound] effect would appear. Not long after the song was played, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
