"No, no, this is absolutely not possible!" Tong Xiaotong suddenly stood up and said very seriously, "This 'Christmas Competition' is of great significance to us, and we must not withdraw from the competition!"

"It's of great significance?" Shi Shisi was puzzled.

"This is the rule of Mingyue College. Teacher Shi, you don't know anything. Senior high school students like Xiaotong will face the college entrance examination by this time next year. The school prohibits them from continuing to participate in club activities." Yuan Xiaomei explained.

"In other words, this is the last time you have participated in the competition in your high school career." Shi Shisi said with some regret.

"That's right! So even if I lose, I have to participate. At least we still have the 'Sword Spirit', right?" Tong Xiaotong said to everyone in the entertainment club.

"'Sword Brightening Spirit'? I didn't expect that you, the little witch, still knows the 'Sword Brightening Spirit'!" Shi Shisi said with a smile.

"What's wrong? I just don't want to leave regrets in my high school club career. And maybe I might have to leave Mingyue Academy after this competition!"

"Vice President, are you leaving?" the members said in surprise.

"Xiaotong, is it that your parents have approved the study abroad program for you?" Mo Yutong asked.

"That's right, I should be leaving after this winter vacation. Although I don't want to, it seems that I can't resist them this time." Tong Xiaotong sighed helplessly.

Looking at this somewhat lonely little witch, Shi Shisi also found it difficult to understand her situation. Which of the students who entered Mingyue Academy did not have a prominent family background?

Their parents have already paved their way for them. When they come here, they often go through a formality and leave some memories to wait a few years later before taking them out to feel them. Of course, this cannot be said to be a kind of sorrow, because many children are still envious!

"Okay, since that's the case, I will do my best to help you!" Shi Shisi said, "If you don't say anything else, you will always be allowed to pass the preliminaries and enter the finals!"

"Really? Teacher Shi!" said the members in surprise.

"Then I'll do my part too!" At this time, a Chinese dialect with a foreign accent came over.

Shi Shisi looked back and saw that it was the suspicious Sheldon.

"Teacher Sheldon, what are you doing here?" Shi Shisi said suspiciously.

"Oh, I invited Mr. Sheldon to serve as another instructor for this Christmas competition." Yuan Xiaomei explained.

"Yes, it was Teacher Yuan who asked me." Sheldon smiled and walked up to everyone. "It's great to be able to experience Chinese music culture just after we arrived here."

"Teacher Yuan, isn't it enough for me to be an instructor?" Shi Shisi frowned.

"Because I consider that this preliminaries involve rock music, I think it's better to invite professionals to guide you."

“Professional?”

"That's right, you don't know! Teacher Sheldon was the lead singer of a famous folk rock band in Europe!" Yuan Xiaomei introduced happily.

"Really? Is Teacher Sheldon so powerful?" Tong Xiaotong looked at the strange Sheldon in surprise.

And the members looked at the mature blonde handsome man, their eyes were filled with hearts.

"Teacher Sheldon, what's your band's name?" Mo Yutong asked curiously.

"It's not a famous band either! Have you ever heard of the cemetery band?"

"Cemetery Band?" Everyone in the performing arts club shook their heads constantly.

"Everyone doesn't know that this cemetery band is a rock band with a very historical tradition in Britain. It usually doesn't show off, and even if it performs, it is performed in private folk places, and it never takes the initiative to make the charts. So there are not many people who know it." Yuan Xiaomei explained, "But once a passionate fan uploaded a song from their band to the Internet, and that night it rushed to the top of the youtube music chart."

"Is it so powerful? Is this a rumor?" Shi Shisi said with a little sourness.

"It seems that Teacher Shi doesn't believe me! Then let me show off my talents on the spot and let everyone judge whether I am qualified?" Sheldon turned around and said to Mo Yutong, "Miss Mo, can you lend me a guitar to use."

"No problem!" Mo Yutong took out a good electric guitar from the entertainment club and handed it over, "Teacher Sheldon, just use it!"

"Thank you!" Sheldon took the guitar and played with it for a while, "This weight seems to be a little light!"

"Sorry, Teacher Sheldon. Since the members of our performing arts club are all girls, the instruments are also specially made, so we just reduced the weight appropriately." Mo Yutong quickly explained.

"It's not a martial arts competition. Does the weight of the instrument have an impact on the performance?" Shi Shisi snorted coldly.

"It's not a big deal, but I always feel something strange. But it doesn't hinder today's display." Sheldon said, and with a force, the huge metal sound instantly shocked the audience, as if he was about to break the guitar string.

"What a strong arm strength!" Tesla couldn't help but say in the sea of ​​spirit, "If the vibration of the metal string reaches this decibel, then the arm strength Sheldon used is far beyond ordinary people!"

"Not only that, his control over power is just right. With such a loud sound, the string has not broken. Fourteen, that guy's control over power is above you." Xiang Yu added.

"Sure enough, this person who doubted is not simple. I wonder what his purpose was to come to Mingyue Academy?" Shi Shisi nodded and said.

Next, the entire performing arts club was filled with the inspiring metal electronic music. Sheldon swayed in vain and suddenly infected everyone present. Several members couldn't help dancing to the rhythm of the music.

Although Shi Shisi didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that Sheldon did have two tricks in rock music. Not to mention anything else, just say that the rock song he played incorporates various Western music expressions such as rock, jazz, etc., but it is very suitable for the Eastern aesthetic. I believe he made some adaptations before playing.

At the end of the song, thunderous applause came from the classroom of the performing arts club, and the sound of "Enke" also came one after another.

"Students are really awesome. I haven't played for so many years, but my hands are actually unfamiliar." Sheldon said modestly.

"You can reach this level without having any bullets for many years. Teacher Sheldon, you are so amazing." Tong Xiaotong also admired Sheldon very much.

"It seems that this time is indeed foolproof. Teacher Shi is unmatched in singing, and Teacher Sheldon is definitely an expert in Western music and instrumental performance!" Mo Yutong seemed very excited.

"Student Mo, I'm sorry to correct you. I'm not just a singer!" Shi Shisi said lightly.

"Oh, is Teacher Shi still proficient in Western music?" Sheldon pretended to be surprised.

"That's right, and the heavy metal rock song that Teacher Sheldon just played should actually not belong to the category of Western music!" Shi Shisi questioned.

"This is veritable Western music. What's the point of questioning?" Even Yuan Xiaomei was surprised this time.

"Whether you believe it or not, I have actually heard this song before, and it seems to be an ancient Chinese music!"

"Teacher Shi, you have to behave properly, but it's not good to lie." Sheldon's face was obviously a little unhappy.

"I'm not lying. If you don't believe me, I'll play it for you." Shi Shisi said, taking out a dusty pipa from a few corners of the entertainment club. "What a pity, people nowadays are increasingly lacking in respect for folk music."

In the sea of ​​spirit, Shi Shisi looked at Li Guinian with some concern. "Teacher Li, are you sure? I didn't hear that the rock song could be related to ancient style at all!"

"Fourteen, just look at it! I can't embarrass you! And you can't let such a Western Region madman show off his power here!" Li Guinian said confidently.

In reality, Shi Shisi had already picked up the pipa and started performing. From the first moment of waving the strings, Shi Shisi's pipa song had completely hooked everyone's heartstrings. The tune was sometimes as melodious as gentle and drizzle, and sometimes as inspiring as a storm.

The most amazing thing is that everyone was surprised to find that this music was exactly the same as the Western rock music played by Sheldon before, but it was very different in rhythm and tune.

"I really didn't expect that it was obviously heavy metal rock, but it turned into an ancient style music. Teacher Shi is simply a music magician!" Yuan Xiaomei was completely convinced by Shi Shisi at this moment.

After the song ended, the girls from the performing arts club were completely stunned. After a while, Tong Xiaotong slowly recovered and said, "I never thought that this rock can still play like this. Teacher Shi is an eye-opener."

"How is it, I didn't lie to you!" Shi Shisi said proudly.

"Excellent, wonderful!" At this time, Sheldon actually applauded generously, "This Chinese culture is so profound, Mingyue Academy is also hidden and hiding dragons and crouching tigers. Teacher Shi, I have to admit that your musical attainments are far above me!"

Sheldon suddenly became so polite, making Shi Shisi feel embarrassed. "What a hidden dragon and creeping tiger, I just can play this ancient song."

"Ancient Song?" Sheldon smiled faintly, "I once heard from Principal Cheng that there was a famous singer Luo Heihei in the Tang Dynasty. A song of pipa shocked the countries in the Western Regions. I think Teacher Shi is not far from Luo Heihei!"

"Teacher Yuan, who is Luo Heihei?" Tong Xiaotong asked curiously.

"Xiaotong, don't you even know Luo Heihei? It seems that your music theory knowledge needs to be properly supplemented." Yuan Xiaomei shook her head and said, "This Luo Heihei was a female musician in the palace during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang. She played the pipa well and had the ability to remember everything she saw."

"Once, the Western Regions came to pay tribute and brought a powerful pipa player. The pipa played was twice as thick as an ordinary pipa. No ordinary famous musician could play it. He also said wildly that this pipa was originally from the Western Regions, so how could the Tang Dynasty play the pipa?"

"What happened later?" Tong Xiaotong asked anxiously.

"What a person like Emperor Taizong of Tang, how could he tolerate being looked down upon by a Gentile musician? So he used the banquet to let the Gentile musician play the pipa music. He also deliberately said: These old songs are boring, so please play some new songs!"
