Everyone's eyes fell on Zong Lingfeng, with awe in their eyes, obviously they respected this person very much.
Zong Lingfeng is the No. 1 Qin Dao master in Wangyue City and a figure in the Tiangang Realm. He has many disciples. Even Linghu Qingyue, who was born in Linghu Villa, is practicing under him. One can imagine how much prestige he has.
high.
As soon as he arrived, he became the center of the audience.
"Master Zong." Linghu Feng cupped his hands towards Zong Lingfeng and said with a serious expression. Linghu Qingyue was Zong Lingfeng's disciple, so he naturally had to take her seriously.
"Master Linghu Village." Zong Lingfeng smiled, then looked at Xu Yue and Liu Hong next to him, and said: "The city master and the Liu family master are also here."
"Master." Xu Yue looked at Zong Lingfeng and said hello.
"Brother Linghu's beloved daughter's coming-of-age ceremony is a major event in Wangyue City. How could we not come?" Liu Hong said with a smile.
"That's right." Zong Lingfeng smiled and nodded.
"Teacher." At this time, Linghu Qingyue looked at Zong Lingfeng and shouted, her expression extremely respectful.
Zong Lingfeng's eyes fell on her, a look of relief appeared on his wrinkled face, and he couldn't help but sigh: "You have been studying piano under me for seven or eight years. You were just a little girl back then, and in the blink of an eye you
It has stood tall and tall, what a big change!”
Zong Lingfeng noticed Liu Fan next to Linghu Qingyue. His eyes first showed a strange color, and then he seemed to understand something, and the smile on his face became brighter.
"The boy from the Liu family is not bad. He has entered the realm of heaven at such a young age, and his future achievements will definitely not be inferior to your father's." Zong Lingfeng looked at Liu Fan and praised him, as if he admired him very much.
Many people looked surprised. Does Master Zong have a profound meaning in praising Liu Fan in public on such an occasion?
You know, another genius from Wangyue City was also at the banquet at this moment, but Master Zong didn't say anything, as if he didn't see it.
Then they thought about the relationship between Linghu Qingyue and Liu Fan, and vaguely understood something.
"Does Master Zong have a bad relationship with the City Lord's Mansion?" Among the crowd, Xiao Muyang looked at He Jingyuan beside him and asked in a low voice.
"It's not bad, it's just that there are less contacts. Relatively speaking, Linghu Villa and the Liu family are closer to Master Zong." He Jingyuan replied.
"That's it." Xiao Muyang suddenly felt like a mirror. No wonder Master Zong ignored the young city lord. With his status, if he was not someone close to him, he naturally didn't need to worry too much.
Many people looked at Xu Tianlei and saw that his face was as calm as before, as if nothing had happened. They secretly praised him in their hearts. He was worthy of being the son of the city lord, and his demeanor was indeed unique.
"Master Zong is the master of Qingyue, please come to your seat." Linghu Feng cupped his hands in front of Zong Lingfeng and said with a rather solemn expression.
The crowd was shocked when they heard this. Linghu Feng, as the owner of Linghu Villa and one of the strongest men at the top of Wangyue City, allowed Zong Lingfeng to sit in the upper seat at his daughter's coming-of-age ceremony. This alone was enough to show that he
Respect for Zong Lingfeng.
A person like Zong Lingfeng naturally understood Linghu Feng's intention, but he waved his hand and said: "The owner of the village is serious, I don't care about the etiquette, just find a place to sit down."
Liu Hong's eyes flickered, and he looked at Zong Lingfeng and said, "Master, if you don't mind, why don't you sit here with me."
Zong Lingfeng glanced at Liu Hong, seemed to understand something, smiled and nodded: "That's fine."
Xu Yue's face was as calm as water, he didn't say anything and sat down on his own. After that, Zong Lingfeng sat in Liu Hong's seat, and Liu Hong sat next to him.
The vast crowd looked at the three figures in front of them, with an intriguing look on their faces. However, it was enough for them to see through it without saying anything, as long as they knew it in their hearts.
Xiao Muyang in the crowd naturally noticed something. Liu Hong was close to Zong Lingfeng, but Xu Yue didn't pay much attention to Zong Lingfeng. He just said hello symbolically when he came, and then directly
I sat down and had no intention of giving up my seat.
Linghu Feng sat on the first seat, looking down from a high position, looking at the crowd below, and said loudly: "Today is the day when my little girl comes of age. I specially invite all the major forces in Wangyue City and some practitioners to witness it here. Please enjoy it to your heart's content.
Don’t be restrained.”
As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
"The owner is welcome." A voice came from the crowd below, and then everyone picked up their wine glasses and drank down the wine in one gulp.
"Master of the village, please." Zong Lingfeng held the toast in his hand and looked at Linghu Feng. Linghu Feng immediately understood and toasted again, and the two drank from the distance.
Then Xu Yue and Liu Hong also toasted to Linghu Feng. No matter what their relationship was in private, since they were here for the banquet today, they naturally had to do things well on the surface.
After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere at the banquet gradually reached its climax. The crowds were seen drinking, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere seemed extremely lively.
At this moment, Linghu Qingyue suddenly stood up. Suddenly many people looked at her with confused expressions, thinking what was she going to do?
"Qingyue would like to improvise some piano music to add to the fun of the banquet." Linghu Qingyue faced the crowd with a faint smile on her face, looking extremely charming.
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
Most of them have never heard Linghu Qingyue's piano music. However, since she is a disciple of Master Zong, her level of piano skills must be very good. Among her peers, there are probably not many people who can match her.
"Today I can hear the music of Miss Qingyue, it is a worthwhile trip." Someone whispered, with excitement in his eyes.
Xiao Muyang looked at Linghu Qingyue, are you going to play again?
The song "Bamboo Forest" last time left a deep impression on him.
A maid brought a piano and brought it to Linghu Qingyue. Just when she was about to play, she heard a voice coming from the front: "Wait a minute."
"Huh?" The crowd's expressions couldn't help but froze when they heard this voice. They all looked forward and saw that the speaker was Zong Lingfeng.
Linghu Qingyue's beautiful eyes were confused, obviously she didn't know why Zong Lingfeng called to stop.
Zong Lingfeng looked at Linghu Qingyue and said with a smile: "You are the protagonist today, how can I let you perform for the fun? I specially brought some of your fellow disciples here and let them play for fun."
"Thank you, teacher." Linghu Qingyue showed a bright smile on her face and sat down again after saying that.
I saw a few young figures walking out behind Zong Lingfeng. They were the same people who came with him before. At this moment, the crowd realized that these people were his disciples.
"I'm Chu Fan, I'm showing off my shame here." A young man said to the crowd, clasping his fists, and then played the piano. The sound of the piano was high and loud, with a sonorous meaning, which caused a picture of a battlefield to appear in many people's minds.
Very intense.
After Chu Fan, another person came up to play.
The piano music played by this person is much gentler than the one played by Chu Fan just now. The mountains are majestic and the water is gurgling. The music of the piano seems to outline a picture of mountains and rivers. The artistic conception is peaceful and tranquil, making people feel relaxed and happy.
The styles of the several piano pieces played after that were also different, but they were all unique. At the banquet, praises came one after another.
"Master Zong is worthy of being the number one Qin Dao master in Wangyue City. The disciples he has taught are all extraordinary. There happen to be so many people here today, and most of them are young people. Why don't you give me some advice and let me wait?
Open your eyes." A voice suddenly came out, and the person who spoke was none other than Xu Yue.
There was a bit of strange color on everyone's faces, and some couldn't figure out the intention of Xu Yue's move.
Zong Lingfeng glanced at Xu Yue. He had lived for hundreds of years, but he couldn't see through Xu Yue's thoughts.
Xu Yue first asked him to teach on the spot. If the people who were taught by him did not make much progress in Qin Dao, it would appear that he was the first master and disciple of Wangyue City's Qin Dao Sect.
He has not preached in person for many years, but now that Xu Yue has spoken, if he refuses, people will think that he does not dare.
"That's fine." Zong Lingfeng replied lightly, causing a sharp flash in Xu Yue's eyes. Do you agree?
However, Zong Lingfeng continued to speak: "It's just that Qin Dao not only requires accumulated training over time, but also requires one's own talent in Qin Dao. If the talent is not good, no matter how good the teacher is, it will be of no use."
"It's true." Many people believe this. In fact, this is true for everything. If you don't have talent, no matter how you teach it, it will be useless.
"What does Master Zong mean?" Xu Yue asked tentatively.
"I would like to ask a few questions. If anyone can answer them, I will give you some pointers on the spot." Zong Lingfeng said.
Xu Yue's eyes flickered, and he understood Zong Lingfeng's thoughts. He first selected people who had a certain understanding of Qin Dao so that he could teach them.
"What the master said is absolutely true." Xu Yue nodded. Zong Lingfeng had already agreed to his request. Naturally, he could not make any other requests, otherwise everyone would know that he was deliberately trying to embarrass Zong Lingfeng.
At this moment, the space became extremely quiet, and everyone looked at Zong Lingfeng, wondering what kind of questions he would ask.
"Everyone knows that the art of music is about artistic conception and technique, but between the two, which one is more important?" Zong Lingfeng asked the crowd.
"This..." The crowd's expressions were stunned. What's more important, artistic conception or technique?
This question seems simple, but it is very difficult to answer.
Even those who don’t know how to play the piano know that the artistic conception and technique of the music are indispensable and both are very important. How can they be prioritized?
Not only the people below, but the faces of the disciples Linghu Qingyue and Zong Lingfeng also showed signs of astonishment. How could the teacher ask such a question?
If they were asked to answer, it would definitely be equally important.
"Equally important." Someone below said boldly. Maybe Master Zong was just pretending to be mysterious and testing them.
"That's not right." Zong Lingfeng shook his head.
"The artistic conception is more important."
"Skills are more important."
Then many voices came out, all three possibilities were mentioned, and there must be a correct answer among them. However, Zong Lingfeng still needed them to tell the reason, but no one could say it right.
"I'm afraid no one can answer such a tricky question." He Jingyuan smiled bitterly. He didn't know much about Qin Dao, but according to his understanding, it was equally important.
Xiao Muyang, who was standing aside, smiled and said softly: "The artistic conception should be more important."
Cai'er and He Jingyuan both turned their attention to Xiao Muyang. Is the artistic conception more important?
"Why?" Cai'er asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"The function of the music itself is to cultivate one's state of mind, integrating one's own thoughts and thoughts into the music, thereby resonating with other people's emotions. As for the skills, they are just the icing on the cake."
He Jingyuan looked a little surprised when he heard Xiao Muyang's words and asked: "Do you know Qin?"
"I just know a little bit about it." Xiao Muyang smiled.
"I think your answer may be right. Why don't you give it a try." He Jingyuan said, "If you can get the approval of Master Zong, your future will be bright."
"Let's forget it. Master Zong is such a person, I'm afraid he will look down on me, a junior in the spiritual wheel realm." Xiao Muyang smiled and waved his hand. This sentence was naturally modest. He didn't want to get involved in the forces of Wangyue City.
.
"You haven't even tried it, how do you know it won't work?" Cai'er whispered in her heart, then looked in the direction of Zong Lingfeng and said loudly: "The artistic conception is more important!"
This sound used all the strength of Cai'er's body and resounded directly through the space, making everyone look stunned, and then looked towards where Xiao Muyang and the others were!
