Chapter 5: The Eight Categories of Teachers, Red and White Interacting with Each Other

  On the stage, the girl's eyebrows are like green feathers, her teeth are like hidden pearls, her skin is like white snow, and her waist is like a bundle of silk.

  Sitting cross-legged in front of the white jade table, with both hands stroking the zither, the movements are elegant and refined. The body is hidden in the clouds and mist, faintly visible, like a fairy maiden, beautiful beyond compare.

  The girl had a typical beauty's melon-seed-shaped face, and it was indeed Taito Kei.

  The mist on the stage is the sound mist born from the pianist's playing, and the appearance of the sound mist also proves that the piano art has reached a master level.

  "With rolling, sweeping, and pouring techniques, the sound of flowing water is created, and the movements are extremely smooth and familiar, worthy of a master's work."

  "Listening to his zither music, he should be a 9th-grade zither master."

  Li Tu was intoxicated in the sound of the piano, entering the realm with the sound, sometimes majestic high mountains, and sometimes vast oceans.

  The beautiful melody of "High Mountain and Flowing Water" made all the examinees feel as if they were intoxicated, as if they were personally on the scene, sometimes high mountains, sometimes flowing water, wonderful beyond words.

  "Rumors had it that Miss Ji's piano skills were already at a master level, I didn't expect it to be true, I thought it was just a rumor."

  A candidate looked at the stage with a misty sound, like a big fog descending, and there was also a faintly visible, elegant figure, couldn't help but sigh.

  "Unexpectedly, Miss Ji is so young and her piano skills have already reached a master level. Unexpectedly, she's indeed a talented woman."

  "A rare masterpiece indeed."

  "Ji sister's piano skills have improved again, this time she will definitely win first place on the music chart."

  Xiao Wei narrowed her bright and shiny black eyes, excitedly saying.

  Ning Zhen gazed at the figure on stage with both eyes, love shining in her eyes.

  Many candidates looked at the stage with misty sound and were deeply moved, with constant applause.

  A masterpiece, it's really too rare. If nothing unexpected happens, Tamaki will definitely top the "Music" rankings.

  The hand stops, but the sound lingers on; the mist of music floats and hovers, like a ghostly presence that haunts me for three days, so that I forget all about the taste of meat.

  After a long time, the sound of fog slowly dispersed, and Ding Taiji got up and bowed slightly.

  The three examiners on the platform were all intoxicated with the sound of the piano, nodding their heads continuously, and smiling on their faces. After such a long examination, finally appeared a candidate who could satisfy them.

  The candidates under the stage were all looking at the judges, waiting for their evaluation.

  A is already a foregone conclusion, it's just unknown whether it's B or C.

  "Qin art has entered the ninth rank of mastery, finger technique is extremely proficient, without any inferior sound, can be evaluated as top-grade middle-level."

  Gong Yangzhuan smiled at Dan Taiji and gave his inner evaluation.

  "Fortunately, I received Mr. Gong Yang's meticulous guidance, but Ke Ji's talent was not good and failed to live up to the master's expectations."

  Dantai Ji's face showed a hint of shame, and he was not very satisfied with his own musical skills.

  "Miss Ji is too modest. With your talent, after entering the academy, you will definitely make rapid progress and become a peerless national scholar, it's just a matter of time."

  A middle-aged man with a Qingyi national character face smiled and said.

  "Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Xie."

  Many candidates under the stage heard that Dan Taiji's piano art was rated as A-level middle grade, although they were slightly surprised, but also within expectation.

  The first-class middle grade is almost the highest grade in the evaluation of the school, although there is still a first-class upper grade above it. However, this highest grade is almost nominal, and even if one has exceptional talent and outstanding abilities, it is difficult to obtain this grade.

  A-level mid-product, almost certainly "music" chart champion.

  "It turned out that the person playing the zither was actually Miss Ji from the Hou Manor, no wonder."

  Li Tu remembered the name, and the other party was born into such a wealthy and noble family, with good talent, plus the guidance and guidance of famous teachers, becoming a qin master is also a matter of course.

  "Ji sister's evaluation is top-notch, she has secured the first place."

  Xiao Wei was extremely excited, her eyes filled with joy.

  Ning Zhen's calm and serene expression was also filled with joy in her eyes.

  The exam continued, one by one, the candidates walked onto the stage and then off...

  Xiao Wei walked onto the stage and chose singing and dancing.

  "This evening which evening is it? Rowing a boat in mid-stream..."

  A white robe, a mask, singing "The Song of Yue People" in a hoarse voice, the ancient and desolate melody, dancing the classical beauty of Yue people's dance, giving people a stunning visual and auditory impact.

  At this time, the guzheng on stage also sounded intermittently, complementing the singing and dancing, and shocking people's hearts.

  "What day is today, I got to be on the same boat with the prince. Ashamed and humiliated, but not feeling guilty. My heart is almost broken but not yet, because of knowing the prince. The mountain has trees, the tree has branches, my heart loves you, but you don't know."

  The voice is tinged with a hint of desolation, singing out the twists and turns of love, like the ripples on the water as a boat paddle passes by, a melancholy that is not sorrowful, without a furrowed brow or a thousand sighs, yet bringing forth clear tears, making it impossible for one to forget.

  "Is this still the little Wei I know? No way."

  The despicable man Wu Qi under the stage stared blankly, as if he didn't recognize the girl on the stage.

  The many candidates under the stage were also moved by the classical beauty and simplicity of the Vietnamese song and dance, at this time, Xiaoyi became their little princess in their hearts, making people love her dearly.

  "What a pity! I couldn't see it, and missed this classic and beautiful song and dance." Li Tu sighed.

  "A song that surpasses human skills in singing and dancing, worthy of being classified as a top-grade masterpiece." The young man in white clothes nodded slightly.

  ……

  At noon, all examinees had lunch prepared by the school and took a short rest before continuing with the exam.

  After a morning had passed, only about ten people had achieved the second-class evaluation, and only two people, Dantai Ji and Xiao Wei, had achieved the first-class evaluation.

  Li Tu's face was calm and peaceful like an ancient well without ripples, but in his heart there was a faint sadness.

  Others can show off their talents on stage and enter a prestigious school through exams, while I'm just an accompanying spectator...

  "Zi obtained first place, Li Tu ranked on top in the imperial examination."

  It was unclear how much time had passed when the voice of Zhongqiu calling out for help was heard.

  Li Tu heard this and silently stood up, carrying the broken zither onto the stage.

  "Oh, so that blind man's name is Li Tu."

  "This blind guy really has a thick skin, I don't know if he has any brain problems, looks like an idiot."

  "Unexpectedly, he's still carrying a guqin; could it be that he's a zither master comparable to Kei-san?" Hehe."

  "You really don't know your place, can a blind person like you enter this school?"

  Wu Qi glanced at Li Tu and whispered a sarcastic remark.

  Li Tu's debut attracted the attention of many candidates, and Han Taiji Mei Mu turned around and moved away after a brief glance at him. The young girl Xiao Wei was looking forward to Li Tu making a stunning performance.

  The three examiners on the platform furrowed their brows, having already heard that a blind person had come to take this entrance examination. However, Left Chancellor had given orders to let the blind person finish all five tests, so no one dared to say anything more. Even if the blind person was not up to par, the examiners would not make things difficult for him or give him a hard time.

  Li Tu bowed slightly to the examiner, then sat cross-legged in front of the white jade table, took off the broken zither behind him and placed it on the table, slowly calmed his mind, then moved his fingers a little, trying out the sound.

  With everything in order, Li Tu's entire demeanor changed suddenly, and he actually had a few points of elegance, dazzling people's eyes.

  Fingers fall, strings vibrate, sound rises. The lingering resonance under the fingers is delicate and long-lasting, sometimes like human speech, allowing for dialogue, sometimes like the threads of a person's heart, complex and changeable.

  Wiping, picking, hooking, plucking, hitting, pinching, grasping and supporting, the fingers of both hands appear like a dream.

  Suddenly, a thick fog enveloped Li Tu's body on stage.

  Suddenly, a sound mist appeared on the stage, and the faces of many candidates below the stage changed greatly.

  "Isn't he blind? How can he be a musician?"

  A candidate stared at the sound waves on the screen, shocked and stunned.

  "This blind man is actually a zither master, no wonder he's so arrogant." Wu Qi's face turned gloomy.

  "Wow, Ji sister, this blind man is also a musician just like you. I didn't expect that, he's actually a musician, it's really beyond my expectation." Little Yu exclaimed excitedly.

  Dantai Ji looked at the sound fog on the stage, and she couldn't think that her opponent was actually a master of qin skills, which made her somewhat unexpected.

  I saw Li Tu carrying a guqin before, and I guessed that he might have some talent in playing the guqin, but I didn't expect his talent to be so high that he has become a master of the guqin.

  The three judges on the platform were also somewhat surprised, and they did not expect that this blind child would become a pianist at such a young age.

  "Look, a red color has actually appeared in the sound fog." A test-taker saw it and immediately exclaimed.

  "It's really Red Sound Fog, he isn't a 9th rank zither master, but an 8th rank, how is that possible?"

  "Is he really blind?"

  On stage, white sound fog and red sound fog intersect and blend together, very eye-catching.

  The eight tones of the teacher, sound fog red white mutual birth.
