Chapter 188: Harmony
The day after that incident, Qin Muyue learned from her cheap father, the sect leader, that the once-in-a-century Juexian Banquet was about to begin.
This is a grand event that music practitioners from the five realms flock to. The music practitioner who defeats all the participants in one fell swoop will be awarded the title of String Master and be qualified to comprehend the Juexian Qin Score.
It is rumored that the Juexian Music Score is something that was left behind by the gods in the lower world. The music in it is the sound of the Great Dao, and it has evolved in countless ways. Once a music practitioner who has obtained this music score comprehends the sound of his own Great Dao, he will truly deserve the title of the head of the five realms.
For this reason, Yue Guanxue has been meditating on the music score facing the snowy mountains. Ever since he and a certain rich girl came to understand the love story, when he faces the mountains, what he sees in his mind is the girl walking on the snow that day.
Ignoring the outrageous talk of burning the piano and cooking the crane, he felt that the girl that day was exceptionally lovely.
Yue Guanxue's piano skills are improving day by day, and he knows that the upcoming Banquet will be a huge challenge.
He began to practice more diligently, trying to comprehend the sound of his own avenue.
After Qin Muyue learned about the Juexian Banquet, she and Xiaoying observed Yue Guanxue. If the Juexian Banquet was true, then the tampered Qingyun Road must be here.
Qin Muyue waited and waited, until Yue Guanxue played "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" with a sad tone, she suddenly heard another voice in harmony with the sound of the piano.
As we all know, qin and se are two musical instruments, and Qin Muyue heard the sound of se.
Qin Muyue frowned slightly, she put down the spoon, and listened quietly to the sound of the zither that harmonized with Yue Guanxue's piano.
She knew that although the timbres of the qin and the qin were similar, the timbres of the qin were more cheerful, like the chirping of a lark, and could better touch the joyful emotions in people's hearts.
At this moment, the piano played by Yue Guanxue had an ethereal tone and a soft and touching voice that could linger in the ears for three days and was shocking.
So when Yue Guanxue heard the sound of the harp, his face stiffened and with a hint of excitement, "Feng Qiu Huang" seamlessly switched to another song.
The thousands of snow-covered mountains are like a picture scroll, slowly unfolding, with wind and clouds surging, and every snowflake is frozen in the air, as if captured by the music of the zither and the harp.
In Qin Muyue's eyes, she seemed to see an endless dark night dotted with stars. Meteor showers were circling the night sky. Thousands of snow-capped mountains were illuminated by the azure light of the meteors, which was a beautiful sight.
Her eyes were dazed for a moment, then she came to her senses and exclaimed that the song was terribly powerful.
She waited for the zither and se to finish playing a piece, then walked to Yue Guanxue's side and stared at the young man who was contemplating something with his eyes closed.
Qin Muyue stood quietly by the side, waiting patiently for Yue Guanxue to come back to his senses from his epiphany.
It was not until the evening when the young man slowly opened his eyes that Qin Muyue spoke: "Yue Guanxue, what was the name of the song you played earlier?"
Yue Guanxue slowly opened his eyes, with deep meaning still lingering in his gaze.
He stared at the girl and replied seriously: "The name of this song is "Thousand Mountains Covered in Snow". It depicts the thousands of mountains I saw. Do you feel it?"
Qin Muyue nodded: "I did see it. Your music is very harmonious. I just heard it accidentally and fell into hallucination. If you and that person work together to attack with sound, your potential is unlimited."
"Miss, you are absolutely right." Yue Guanxue looked at the girl's hands, which had calluses from years of whipping. The only musical instrument this rich young lady was best at was stringed instruments.
He couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Qin Muyue noticed his gaze, she looked at her hands, puffed up her cheeks and said angrily: "I can't play the harp or the piano, do you despise me?"
Yue Guanxue shook his head helplessly. "How could that be? The stringed instruments that the young lady likes are also an indispensable part of the Eight Musics."
Qin Muyue snorted coldly: "You said nice things, but you secretly practiced "Thousand Mountains Snow" with others behind my back."
Yue Guanxue grabbed the girl's hand in panic and explained, "That's not the case. Thousand Mountains in Snow is a piece I composed myself. In theory, I should be the only one who can sing it."
"It seems that someone nearby heard it. This place is near the Control Crane Platform," Qin Muyue chuckled and pulled Yue Guanxue up. "I won't tease you anymore. Let's go find someone."
"Why do we want to find the person who plays the zither?" Yue Guanxue was pulled away, and the palm of his hand felt the delicate touch of the girl's soft hand. The corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.
Qin Muyue's eyes flashed with cunning: "Because, if you are the only one who can perform "Thousand Mountains and Snow", then this person who can play the zither and the harp with you may be the key to your winning the Juexian Banquet."
Yue Guanxue was slightly stunned, then he understood what Qin Muyue meant.
He nodded, and the two of them walked towards the Control Crane Platform together.
The Control Crane Platform is located on the top of the sect's secondary peak. It is a place with excellent scenery and is also the place where menial disciples raise cranes.
When Yue Guanxue and Qin Muyue arrived, the moonlight was hazy and the stars were twinkling, adding a bit of mystery to Konghetai.
They looked around, trying to find the source of the mysterious sound.
A faint sound of a zither could be heard from behind the rock. She and Yue Guanxue looked at each other and slowly walked closer.
As they approached, the figure gradually became clearer. It turned out to be a woman in plain clothes, holding an exquisite harp in her hand.
The woman also noticed their arrival. She turned around, her face pretty and a hint of surprise in her eyes.
She looked at Yue Guanxue and asked softly, "How did you find me?"
Yue Guanxue smiled slightly: "It was your zither sound that attracted us."
The woman nodded, and her gaze turned to Qin Muyue, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes: "Miss...Miss!"
Qin Muyue smiled back politely.
The woman knew how fierce Shi Nishang was, so she shrank behind a rock and said, "My name is Lin Qingyin. I just played with the music from the direction of the snowy mountain. I couldn't help myself. Please don't blame me, young lady."
"I'm not here to question you," Qin Muyue waved her hand and asked curiously, "Miss Lin, how did you manage to accompany "A Thousand Mountains in Snow"?"
Lin Qingyin answered truthfully: "After hearing Mr. Yue play again and again, I gained some insights and naturally wrote the accompaniment."
Yue Guanxue looked at her with appreciation: "Young lady, you have excellent understanding."
Lin Qingyin shook her head slightly: "Master Yue's piano playing is wonderful, I am just imitating in a way that is not worthy of being worthy of being in a high-class place."
Qin Muyue nodded thoughtfully: "Then, Miss Lin, are you willing to attend the Juexian Banquet with Yue Guanxue?"
A gleam of light flashed in Lin Qingyin's eyes: "The Juexian Banquet? It would be great if I could attend it with Master Yue."
When Yue Guanxue heard that Lin Qingyin was willing to attend the Juexian Banquet together, a glimmer of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
“Miss Lin, your harp sounds match my zither sounds so well, this may be God’s will.” Yue Guanxue said seriously, “At the Juexian Banquet, if we can play the harp and zither in harmony, we will surely win the recognition of all the music practitioners.”
From that day on, Yue Guanxue, Qin Muyue and Lin Qingyin began their intensive preparations.
They practiced playing together at the Konghetai every day, and the harmony between Yue Guanxue and Lin Qingyin became more and more tacit.
Qin Muyue observed from the side until the day before the Juexian Banquet, when her body as "Shi Nishang" started to cause trouble.
