"What about the specific selection method?"
Qi Ying asked with a smile.
The maid's voice was clear: "Sir, we have already told everyone the selection method, but since you are here, I will tell you again. Among the three requirements for selecting retinues, loyalty is actually not a test. Yes, all you need to do is sign a contract; as for talents, everyone can use them freely; as for combat power, after the talent competition is over, the remaining few people will hold a competition, and the winner will be the last girl in my family. Attendant. Now the talent competition is about to start. If you want to participate, please get your number plate and wait. Although there are many people here, it is actually very fast, because every time there are ten people performing at the same time! Who is The one who gets the most looks and gets the most shells thrown by the onlookers will be selected among the ten people."
"Oh, that's it, then please give me your number plate."
Qi Ying stretched out his hand and took a number plate from the maid's hand, with the number three hundred and eighty-six written on it in the Shark characters.
That is to say.
In addition to Qi Ying, there were 385 people who participated in the selection of Xie Mojun's retinue.
Not long after Qi Ying entered the venue, ten people performed on the stage.
However, they saw that eight of the ten male sharks were playing with a shark instrument called "Snail Xun".
Of the other two, one played the piano and the other sang the flute.
"The snail xun is a special musical instrument of the Shark tribe. During the selection of the saint, the servants need a sounding instrument to match the saint's singing, and most of them will choose the snail xun."
Qi Ying was thinking.
In terms of talent, he really has no advantage over those sharks!
Especially the Luo Xun, the most important musical instrument of the Shark tribe, Qi Ying knew nothing about. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that some Sharks were born not very good at playing musical instruments, otherwise we wouldn't even see anyone playing the harp or flute here.
but.
Just because you didn’t know it before doesn’t mean you can’t learn!
Qi Ying's learning ability is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
after all.
Even though what's inside Xia Qi's body is Qi Ying's split soul.
But the soul realm of the split soul is also a genuine quasi-emperor level. If you want to learn how to play Luo Xun, it is not easy to do it.
and.
Qi Ying also discovered an important point.
That is, Xia Qi himself is a guy who is very good at playing the conch.
Not only is he very good at playing Luo Xun, he is also good at composing Luo Xun music.
Back then, Xia Qi was sitting on the rocks at the bottom of the sea, looking coldly at the sharks and sea beasts fighting below, and playing the snail xun. The cold and sad tune immediately attracted Xie Lingyun, who was still new to the world.
"This guy's talent is much higher than mine!"
Qi Ying smiled in his heart.
nature.
When he performs later, he can take out Xia Qi's music and play it himself.
And Xia Qi’s experience and skills in playing Luoxun can also be used for reference.
soon.
Screening through rounds.
In each round, at most one person was picked by Xie Miaoyun. More than half of the time, she didn't pick any of the ten people in the round.
Although she is not good at communication, she has her own unique aesthetic and has a high level of music appreciation.
"Finally it's my turn."
When it was Qi Ying's turn, Qi Ying stepped onto the stage confidently and steadily, holding a blue-gray snail.
Among the remaining nine people, eight also chose to play the snail xun.
"Everyone please start."
The maid said sweetly.
Then there was a whining sound and a lot of noise.
Everyone who plays the luoxun is playing his own tune, and there is also a dulcimer. Ten different tunes, mixed together, will naturally not be very pleasant.
but.
It is in this environment.
Only the most unique and beautiful performances will be selected.
Qi Ying picked up the snail and brought it to his mouth.
He was the last one to start playing, but when the first note came out of the snail in his hand, Xie Mojun on the other side raised his eyebrows.
"this person… "
Xie Miaoyun immediately noticed this most unique one among the ten songs.
The other songs are either cheerful, sad, melancholy, or generous and tragic...but none of them are as light as this one. I can't tell whether it is a small happiness or a little bit. The feeling of sadness and a lot of complex and subtle emotions suddenly arose in my heart.
Qi Ying put her lips against the luoxun and slowly played this simple but extremely beautiful tune.
If Xia Qi, a humble person like him, had any hobbies in his life, it would probably be Luo Xun. He could make Luo Xun himself, play Luo Xun, and compose music.
He never named the music, he just played whatever he wanted, but he was very talented in this area. He had thousands of songs, and he almost never played them only to himself.
Xia Qi never expressed his inner thoughts to anyone. He was like a mouse hiding in a dark corner. He occasionally poked his head out without making a sound. He had been lonely all his life and would put on a layer of clothing when meeting people. With the hard mask, the only way he could express his inner emotions was to play the snail xun alone when no one was around.
And this is the greatest charm of his music.
How much hurt pain, how many tears shed when there is no one, are all merged into one song.
This kind of appeal was extremely powerful, and coupled with Qi Ying's relatively good playing skills, Xia Qi's music quickly overshadowed other people's music.
even.
Several Mermaids who were playing together put down their Luoxuns and stared blankly at Qi Ying and his Luoxun.
The mermaid who played the dulcimer no longer played the joyous piece, but accompanied Qi Ying's playing. The crispness of the dulcimer and the low tone of the snail were mixed together, and the appeal brought by it changed. Be stronger.
The eyes of hundreds of sharks fell on Qi Ying!
They had never heard the piece before, and it was likely that it was created by the player himself.
And what kind of experience, what kind of delicate heart, and what kind of talent does the player need to have to create such a piece of music
People's eyes are complicated.
But Xie Mojun's expression became more and more excited.
Until the song ended, the whole place was silent, and everyone was still immersed in the aftertaste of the song.
Xie Mojun whispered a few words to the maid beside him, and then the maid stretched out her hand and pointed at Qi Ying: "The winner of this round is you!"
Wow!
The silence was finally broken.
Many sharks were whispering to each other and casting curious glances at Qi Ying.
Xia Qi has always been a very low-key person and spends 99% of his time alone, so most people in the Crystal Palace don't know him at all.
