The guqin and easel were ready, Blue Rabbit sat down with a concentrated expression, her left hand stroking the strings, producing a crisp melody, the sound of which was elegant and beautiful.
At the same time, Blue Rabbit's right hand picked up a brush and began to paint on the rice paper, as if following the rhythm of the piano in a rhythmic movement.
She nodded slightly, her clear and beautiful eyes occasionally falling on the strings, her fingertips sliding, each note seeming to tell a story.
Rainbow Cat's body slightly paused when she heard this, it was their Seven Heroes' tune, just with some modifications.
The sound of the guqin still echoed in her ears, but Hongmao's thoughts had followed the music back to the past.
They gazed at the moon together, drank wine and composed poetry. The sound of their unrestrained laughter seemed to echo in my ears once more. Sally's slightly reproachful tone was heard from beside me, as she playfully teased them with a few words, but immediately shut her mouth under Sally's gaze, turned around and snatched the wine cup from her hand, drinking it all in one gulp, provoking discontent from Tiao Tiao. Dada couldn't help but burst out laughing, occasionally joining in their conversation. Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit quietly watched this scene unfold, their lips involuntarily curling up into a smile... Just then, the sound of the guqin changed from being smooth and melodious to low and desolate, with a hint of sobbing. Rainbow Cat's heart tightened, her eyes clouded over with pain. Brothers... Everyone held their breath, quietly listening in.
The judges and jurors seemed to be infected by the sound of the piano as well, their mood shifting from the original relaxation and joy to a faint sadness.
Although Dingdang didn't understand the art of playing the piano, she could clearly feel Blue Rabbit's emotional changes from the sound of the piano. Her heart couldn't help but feel a tinge of sadness. At this time, the piano sound rose up from its calmness, as if it was a kind of struggle and breakout. The sorrowful tone gradually subsided, and then, a strong and positive feeling emerged. It made one's heart vibrate, covering all the sadness, and changing one's emotions along with the change in melody.
Everyone's mood has become high, and Hongmao's eyes are already full of determination. No matter what the cost, he must get the Jingyuan Pearl. The sound of the guqin changed again to a gentle and elegant melody. Hongmao smiled faintly, knowing that at this moment, Lantou's longing for the future was the same as his. The painting on the paper was almost complete, she suddenly stood up, her left hand still plucking the strings, her right hand holding the brush, moving quickly and slowly on the paper. Her left hand stroked the strings, her right hand painted, shocking everyone around her. Lan Shui's face behind her turned very ugly, she had to admit that she was indeed moved by Lantou's guqin sound, but precisely because of this, she could not accept the fact that Lantou was stronger than her. No one can surpass me, Lan Shui, no one!
The music ended, and Blue Rabbit's slender hand rose, but the air around her seemed to freeze with her movement. The crowd finally came back to their senses, their eyes fixed on the judges and referees, as if waiting for their answer. Blue Rabbit raised her gaze, her line of sight coinciding with Rainbow Cat's, and they exchanged a faint smile, reading encouragement and comfort from each other's eyes before subtly looking away. Han Tian caught this moment, and his heart ached.
When he heard the sound of Blue Rabbit's zither, he was completely conquered. It is said that music comes from the heart, and he seemed to be able to clearly feel the changes in Blue Rabbit's inner world, that one part of perseverance, the sincerity towards friends, made him sigh with emotion, what a... strange woman indeed.
On this side, the judges and referees walked forward, their faces filled with shock and admiration, even with a hint of reverence. Without a doubt, Blue Rabbit's piano skills were truly exceptional, even better than Lan Shui's. Compared to Lan Shui, Blue Rabbit's piano sound had more genuine emotions, touching the strings of their hearts. The judges stroked their beards and said without reserve: "This young lady is indeed a master of piano, even I feel inferior."
"It's been so many years, and I'm still hearing such a good sound for the first time." Blue Rabbit smiled slightly and nodded slightly: "Mr. is overpraising, the little girl is just learning from scratch, please give me some advice." The judge nodded slightly, turned around and wrote a number on the paper.
Lan Shui's eyes widened at the number, her hand involuntarily clenched into a fist. It was actually... actually higher than hers! The confidence in her eyes earlier slowly turned into discontent. Blue Rabbit... At this time, the judge unfolded Blue Rabbit's painting once again.
A small cry of surprise suddenly erupted from the crowd, and Ding Dang was also shocked beyond belief, even Lan Shui was stunned.
In the painting, a beautiful peach blossom forest, the flowers are in full bloom. On a stone table, a set of tea utensils and a chessboard are laid out. A man in green clothes holds a chess piece in his right hand, deep in thought with his head bowed. The white-clad woman opposite him stares intently at the chessboard, her mouth slightly curved into a faint smile.
A man in a gray robe held a book in his left hand and seemed to be gesturing with his right. Nearby, a woman in purple clothes moved nimbly, as if chasing after the man in front of her, who wore blue clothes and had half an arm exposed, with a purple gourd hanging from his waist, a satisfied smile on his face, seemingly enjoying the woman's attitude.
Under the peach blossom tree, a woman in green clothes held a sword in her right hand, facing a man in white clothes who grasped a red sword. The tips of the two swords touched each other, and the scene froze at this moment. Both of their faces wore faint smiles. In the upper right corner, seven doves of different colors flew about.
In the upper left corner, a line of elegant small characters is a short poem by Lan Tu Ti: Ten thousand peach blossoms are blown away by the wind, seven people stand under the peach tree, one point and one style, the heart still remembers, what's the harm in rejoicing over past grievances? Enough.
In the past, old friends stood facing the wind, still looking at today's heart like water. The wind and rain are blowing, but my heart remains the same, just waiting for the day of reunion, it is near.
The judge slowly read out the poem, and everyone nodded in agreement, with a look of approval on their faces. From the poem, it can be seen that the woman in front is heroic and sentimental, with a broad heart. The judges did not speak again, silently writing another stroke on the paper, Blue Rabbit's face was filled with a faint smile from head to toe, bowed and returned to her seat. Lan Shui stared at Blue Rabbit from start to finish, sensing a hint of resentment and hostility in Lan Shui's gaze, Blue Rabbit did not turn around, but sat down quietly.
At this time, bursts of applause and cheers erupted from the crowd, all in praise of Blue Rabbit's performance. The five heroes of Teng Long were deeply shocked, they suddenly felt that their understanding of the Seven Heroes was only a little deeper until today, the spirit and faith among them were far beyond their imagination.
In the distance, a man in black clothes gazed at all of this, his face calm as water, unable to see any emotions, but his eyes were firmly fixed on Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit.
As Blue Rabbit sat down, Dangdang said sincerely: "Blue Rabbit, I only understood your feelings a little today." Blue Rabbit didn't speak, she just nodded slightly. She felt that Dangdang was slowly growing up. The White Crane Martial Arts Academy also saw this and were shocked. Mo Xi's eyes were filled with admiration, while Mo Hai and Mo Xin looked at the scene from among the crowd. Mo Hai said: "The sound of the zither is like a person, Blue Rabbit is indeed an extraordinary woman." Mo Xin nodded in agreement, and Xiao Li shouted from the side: "Blue Rabbit, you're so cool!"
The master of the stage heard the shouting from this side and couldn't help but feel interested. It seems that this time's literary and martial competition is going to be very exciting!!
