'You shouldn't have such strange expectations of your brother...'

Sighing secretly, Fang Qiuyao took out a Xuelang stone bottle from the Qiankun Ring and handed it to Jiang Beiran, "Brother, thank you very much for your help this time. On behalf of our whole family, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

"There's no need to do this big gift. After all, I didn't help you for nothing." Jiang Beiran took the bottle after finishing speaking.

Seeing senior brother pick up the Xuelang stone bottle and shake it, Fang Qiuyao explained: "Senior brother, this Mahayana secret water is a treasure handed down from our ancestors. Although the ancestors stipulated that only one drop can be used in a generation, but it is used in our generation. That's all that's left."

"A drop?" Jiang Beiran looked at Fang Qiuyao curiously, "How do you use it?"

"For mixing with water, a drop of Mahayana secret water can make a pool of water have a little bit of its characteristics, and then when this water is used to irrigate the medicinal fields, there will be very high-quality medicinal materials."

"..."

Jiang Beiran was silent for a while after listening, and he didn't know whether to say whether their family was saving or wasting.

However, as a small family, being able to rank forty-five treasures on the rare treasure spectrum is indeed a bit overkill for them.

It's like a middle-aged man who inadvertently acquires a supercomputer and ends up using it to play minesweeper.

I even sighed while playing.

"Supercalculation is supercalculation, and it is not stuck at all when playing."

What is violence? This is violence.

According to the rare records, the function of the Mahayana secret water is to make things with aura "resurrect from death".

For example, a magic weapon was completely destroyed during a battle. In this case, it is basically impossible to repair it, but if you use the Mahayana secret water, you can make the magic weapon come back to life by itself.

In addition, there are all kinds of withered elixir, broken precious jade, broken precious clothes, etc. As long as they are spiritual, they can be revived with the Mahayana secret water.

Therefore, although Jiang Beiran thinks it is wasteful to dilute the spiritual power of the Mahayana secret water to irrigate the medicine field like the Fang family, it may be the most suitable method for them.

It is estimated that their ancestors were also very lucky, and accidentally got some Mahayana secret water, but they dared not sell it, otherwise they would be murdered and seized in seconds.

That's why he made this bad move in the end, making Mahayana secret water produce the highest value for him.

But after this incident, although he took away the Mahayana secret water, it must have brought the Fang family far more value than it used to irrigate the medicine fields before.

After all, as long as the Xun family is not stupid, they will definitely pay a lot of compensation when they are named and criticized by their suzerain, otherwise they will not even pass the test in their hearts.

After collecting the Mahayana Secret Water into the Qiankun Ring, Jiang Beiran turned his head and saw that Liu Zijin and the three sisters of the Yu family were already standing outside the pavilion and peeking inside.

"Come here." Jiang Beiran waved to the four of them.

"Yes!" The four immediately agreed, and walked over to stand in a row with Fang Qiuyao.

"Is this the song you composed together?"

Liu Zijin and the three sisters from the Yu family shook their heads repeatedly after listening, then pointed at Fang Qiuyao at the same time and said, "The whole song was composed by Qiuyao (sister Qiuyao)."

Fang Qiuyao lowered her head shyly after hearing this, and said, "The score is not good... Brother, please forgive me."

"There's no need to be modest." Waving his hand, Jiang Beiran went to the side and sat down, "I want to hear you play the piece just now, starting with Fang Qiuyao."

The five people blinked their eyes after hearing this, but soon they all revealed expressions of surprise.

'It seems that the senior brother really likes this ensemble! '

Overjoyed, Liu Zijin immediately pulled the three Yu family sisters to the side, leaving the "stage" to Fang Qiuyao alone.

"Hoo..."

Taking a deep breath, Fang Qiuyao took off the suona hanging from her waist, looked at her brother and asked, "Can I start?"

"Well, let's start." Jiang Beiran nodded.

When the very penetrating voice sounded, Jiang Beiran began to feel it seriously, but what he felt was not the suona's skills, but the [phantom sound] that made him feel surging just now.

However, after the song was finished, Jiang Beiran felt that Fang Qiuyao played it very well, but that was all. This time, he didn't say that his heart was surging, it could even be said that there was no fluctuation in his heart, and he even wanted to eat a meal.

This really surprised Jiang Beiran. After all, in the concert just now, the suona was the proper protagonist, and it was only after it rang that the bell could not help it.

But this time, although Xia Lingdang standing next to him also showed a look of joy, it was far from the flushed cheeks just now.

"That's right." Nodding to Fang Qiuyao, Jiang Beiran looked at the other four and said, "Next."

"Second sister... I'm a little nervous." Yu Guimiao, who was holding Yaoqin, looked at Yu Guijuan and said.

"I... I have a little too."

It was obviously not a school exam, but Yu Guijuan felt that performing in front of her senior was very important, so important that her calves trembled a little.

"Big sister... what about you?" Yu Guijuan looked at Yu Guishui and said.

"Gudu..." Yu Guishui swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, "Well... nervous, I even kind of forgot how to play the song..."

Looking at the extremely nervous three people, Liu Zijin hugged her red pear pipa and said: "Then I'll go first, and you all get ready."

"Thank you, sister Zijin." The three sisters shouted at the same time.

"You're welcome." After speaking, Liu Zijin came to Jiang Beiran and sat down in front of Jiang Beiran with her pipa in her arms.

Raising his head, Liu Zijin was about to ask if he could start when he met his senior brother's scrutinizing eyes.

"Hiss..."

Liu Zijin took a deep breath, and the fingers that pressed the pipa trembled a little.

'Senior brother... is looking at me with such stern eyes, this gaze... so hot. '

Seeing Liu Zijin's delay in responding, Jiang Beiran said directly, "Start your playing."

"Yes… "

Liu Zijin, who came back to his senses after hearing his senior brother's voice, let out a long sigh of relief.

'Calm down... I want to calm down. '

Then he began to pluck the strings.

It was okay at first, but when he realized that his senior brother had been staring at him closely, Liu Zijin's hands trembled uncontrollably, causing several notes to be played wrong.

"Stop." Jiang Beiran shouted after realizing that Liu Zijin was playing more and more chaotically.

After hearing this, Liu Zijin immediately let go of the hand on the strings, and before she could speak, Jiang Beiran frowned and said, "What's the matter, you didn't play so badly just now."

"hiss!!!"

'So bad... so bad... so bad...'

These three words echoed in Liu Zijin's heart over and over again, making her tremble uncontrollably.

This is the first time in her life that someone has used the word "bad" to describe her piano sound. Even if she accidentally plays a wrong note, others will just pretend that she didn't hear it, and even use compliments to say that she is wrong. .

Even her teacher would only comfort her softly and ask her to practice a few more times.

But just today...someone even used the word "rotten" to describe her pipa.

Coupled with the senior brother's disgusted expression, Liu Zijin felt that he could hardly hold Pipa.

'Obviously being criticized by a senior brother should be a sad thing...but why...why is my heart beating so fast. '

But the three sisters of the Yu family in the distance saw it in their eyes and were anxious about it.

"It turns out that sister Zijin is more nervous than us."

"Yeah, but she's still for us..."

"Woooooooooo, Sister Zijin has sacrificed too much for us."

After being moved for a while, Yu Guishui picked up his pear and curved neck erhu and said firmly: "I'll go and replace Miss Zijin."

However, as soon as she leaned over, Miss Zijin reached out to stop her and said, "No...it's okay, I can do it."

Seeing Miss Zijin's slightly trembling body, Yu Guishui was so moved that she couldn't be more moved, so she still walked up to Liu Zijin with firm steps and said, "Sister Zijin, let me do it first, I'm ready."

Liu Zijin couldn't bear to leave at this moment, so she continued to wave her hands and said, "I... I really don't care."

But Jiang Beiran heard Liu Zijin's panting more and more quickly, and still waved his hands: "You go down first and then prepare, let Yu Guishui come first."

'I was rejected by my senior again...'

This familiar feeling made Liu Zijin want to stop.

She really wanted to play another wrong song, so that her senior brother's criticism would be more severe, but she also knew that her senior brother's orders could not be disobeyed.

So she had no choice but to force herself to stand up, and said to Yu Guishui, "I'm sorry, I didn't..."

"No!" Yu Guishui shook his head vigorously, "Miss Zijin, you are already very good, and we are very grateful to you."

Nodding his head lightly, Liu Zijin patted Xia Yu Guishui on the shoulder and said, "Come on."

"Um!"

Nodding vigorously, Yu Guishui sat on the bamboo chair and set up the erhu. Looking at the two younger sisters cheering for him, Yu Guishui smiled and nodded at Jiang Beiran.

"Brother, I'm ready."

"let's start."

This time, Yu Guishui's erhu performance was normal, and it can be said that he perfectly reproduced the performance just now.

But Jiang Beiran still didn't feel any [phantom sound].

"Next." Jiang Beiran continued to wave to the remaining two sisters.

As the second sister, Yu Guijun grabbed her Han Ye flute and walked towards her senior brother.

Soon, Jiang Beiran finished listening to Yu Guijun's playing and Yu Guimiao's playing together, but there was still no [phantom sound].

Then the last thing left may be...

'Liu Zijin, are you ready? Jiang Beiran looked at Liu Zijin and asked.

Liu Zijin, who was holding the pipa, trembled all over, nodded and said, "Yes, I'm ready."

"Then come on."

After adjusting her breathing, Liu Zijin sat down on the bamboo chair in front of Jiang Beiran again, but this time, she suppressed her desire and did not open her eyes to see her senior brother's expression.

This time, the mellow and thick pipa sound finally sounded normally, and Liu Zijin didn't play any wrong notes because of being too excited... oh no, nervous.

But it was useless, Jiang Beiran still didn't feel the [phantom sound].

'Is it necessary to let them play together to have the effect of phantom sound? '

Just try it, Jiang Beiran clapped his hands twice and said: "As expected of the masters of Shuijingtang, the level of each instrument is indeed very good, but I still like your ensemble better."

After hearing this, Yu Guimiao immediately shouted positively: "Then let's play the ensemble again for senior brother!"

For this ensemble, she practiced hard for so long, and she felt that it would be a waste to play only once.

"Well, that's exactly what I mean." Jiang Beiran nodded.

Wuduo Jinhua obviously didn't expect that the senior brother would like their ensemble so much, and all of them were full of energy for a while, vowing to make this ensemble performance even more perfect.

Standing in a circle, Liu Zijin looked at Yu Guimiao and said, "Miaomiao, you should start."

"no problem!"

As Yu Guimiao plucked the strings and began to play the Yaoqin, several other people quickly joined the ensemble, and they all showed their full strength while being full of energy.

'coming! '

When the melody reached the exciting part, Jiang Beiran's heart was instantly awakened with the same excitement as before, and when he looked back at Xia Lingdang, his cheeks were already flushed.

"Is it really necessary to play in ensembles to produce phantom sounds..."

But Jiang Beiran still didn't make a complete conclusion, but pricked up his ears and continued to listen carefully, carefully distinguishing each note that came into his ears.

Finally, when the climax of the song came, Jiang Beiran instantly showed an expression of enlightenment.

'I see… '

When the repertoire was over, Jiang Beiran applauded the five of them again.

Feeling that the performance was more perfect than before, the five people glanced at each other, smiled, and finally bowed to Jiang Beiran together.

When the five raised their heads, Jiang Beiran beckoned to the five and said, "Liu Zijin, Fang Qiuyao, you two come here first."

Liu Zijin and Fang Qiuyao were taken aback after hearing this, but they still answered "Yes" and stood on both sides of the senior brother.

Seeing that they were left behind, the three sisters of the Yu family felt a little uneasy, and all of them became nervous.

"Will you play Qu eastward?"

"Yes." Yu Guishui took the lead in answering.

"Well, let me hear the three of you playing together."

After hearing this, Yu Guimiao couldn't help but whispered: "Could it be that I didn't play it just now..."

After hearing this, Yu Guijuan comforted him, "It's also possible that I didn't play well."

Although Yu Guishui was also a little at a loss, as the eldest sister, she still nodded and said, "Yes, senior brother."

Putting up the erhu again, Yu Guishui looked at the two younger sisters behind him and said, "This time I will start."

"Okay." Yu Guijuan and Yu Guimiao agreed at the same time, ready.

Qudong is a large county in Fengzhou that is famous for its beautiful scenery. This trip to Qudong is composed of a piece of music that tourists feel happy when they go to Qudong. The melody is beautiful and friendly, the style is elegant and comfortable, and the rhythm is relaxed and lively. , the structure is concise and complete.

It sounds like spring breeze.

The performance of the three sisters of the Yu family was also very good, and they quickly verified Jiang Beiran's conjecture just now.

It's not that [Phantom Sound] will appear when these five people play together.

But when the three sisters played at the same time, there would be a [phantom sound] effect. Not long after the song was played, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

Even... I kind of want to sing.
