Chapter 439: Creative ideas flow

After Wei Yu left, everything in Danbo Pavilion returned to normal.

Fang Yun still said nothing and continued to practice playing the piano.

After the confrontation with Wei Yu, his fingering skills made great progress.

However, the young Duke smiled and said, "Fang Yun's talent is about to run out, so there is no need to worry. I won't wait for a quarter of an hour. Everyone, let's meet at the fifth pavilion. I hope Wei Yu can pass through the sixth pavilion today and enter the upper residence again."

"Maybe not. Fang Yun doesn't seem like the kind of person who would fight for a momentary impulse. Maybe he still has the energy to spare." Qiao Juze said.

"Brother Qiao, what did you find?" a scholar next to him asked in a low voice.

"The artistic conception and the spirit of this poem are so unique. It is full of confidence, calm and peaceful. It doesn't seem like his talent has been exhausted at all. Fang Yun may have some killer trick up his sleeve."

"A trump card? Even if he has ten inches of talent, he can only pass the sixth pavilion at most. Or maybe he has the legendary literary mind 'literary thoughts flowing', but as for the Kong family's unique 'talent', he definitely can't have it."

Qiao Juze nodded slightly and said, "Yes, he experienced something mysterious, but it is extremely difficult to obtain the complete 'Literary Thoughts'. It should be incomplete and can only be used a limited number of times. With the literary thoughts, once his talent is exhausted, it will surge up and be fully restored. It is equivalent to having twice the talent of a scholar of the same literary rank, and the effect is far beyond ordinary literary mind."

"I hope Fang Yun can have some inspiration."

"Let's start playing. If we delay any further and the wave music doesn't reach six chips, we won't be able to see Fang Yun's majestic appearance in the next pavilion."

Everyone was either practicing or starting to play wave music.

The young Duke is proficient in the four arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, all of which are above the first level. It is easy to pass this Tanbo Pavilion.

He didn't care about what Qiao Juze said, but said, "My fellow students from Kang Society and Liufeng Society, how about we play "Song of the Green Pine" together?"

Some students shook their heads helplessly. The young Duke was too insidious. The "Song of Green Pine" played by Wei Yu had a significant impact on Fang Yun. Now that Fang Yun's power of the zither poem was exhausted, the young Duke playing "Song of Green Pine" by himself was enough to confuse Fang Yun. If dozens of people played together, the impact on Fang Yun would be no less than that of Wei Yu.

If Fang Yun was interrupted by the power of "Song of Green Pine" when he was playing the music, then the number of chips at the end would definitely drop greatly. If there was a slight mistake in the second performance, it might be lower than six chips, and he would not be able to get through the fourth pavilion.

"I will follow the Duke's orders! Please lead the discussion, Duke."

"Then I won't be polite." The little Duke touched the water ripples with his hand, and the waves made a sound.

Not only the little Duke, but most of the people in Kangshe and Liufengshe started to play "Song of the Green Pine". Only a few Jinshi with high family background or outstanding talents did not play "Song of the Green Pine" but chose other pieces instead.

The scene of dozens of people playing "Song of Green Pine" together is a little different. The similar ripples spread in all directions, making the piano sounds formed by the water waves overlap slightly, and the sound formed is louder.

The ensemble of dozens of songs of "Song of Green Pine" was full of power, and many people seemed to see a green pine tree rising from the ground and reaching into the sky.

Fang Yun still didn't care. He continued to play. Seeing that Xiao Guogong and others had played most of the "Song of Green Pine", Fang Yun finally stopped practicing and started playing his best piece.

Without a doubt, it was The General's Order.

Here, the war music will not exert its killing power, but it still has a fighting spirit that other music does not have.

Fang Yun pointed down. The horns blew long and the drums of war sounded. The majestic intention of summoning the army spread in all directions.

"As expected of the original author, he can play "The General's Order" so majestically even though it's his first time playing a piece of music." A Jinshi praised, while his index finger flew quickly as he kept playing "Autumn Wind Ode".

Fang Yun played steadily, and when he came to the second part of "The General's Order" - the general's speech, many people who were proficient in the art of playing the zither showed surprise, and kept looking at Fang Yun without affecting their own playing of the music.

Because there was a subtle change in the melody of Fang Yun's "General's Order", the change made the whole piece of music more unique. In addition to the murderous music that should be present on the battlefield, there was also an unprecedented elegance.

"Look, Fang Yun seems to have increased the left fingering and reduced the right fingering, and there are several new fingerings that have never been seen before! If you use new fingerings here, even if your Qin Dao realm is not high, you may still get full chips!"

"It is said that the higher the number of chips, the better the reward for passing the Seven Pavilions. I wonder where Fang Yun will rank among the 'Ten Scholars of the Lingyan Pavilion' in the end."

The young Duke looked at Fang Yun and said slowly: "The pine tree will not fall, and the army will be afraid! Who said Fang Yun can pass this fourth pavilion? I don't agree!"

The young Duke was originally leading everyone to play "Song of Green Pine", but he suddenly turned around and faced Fang Yun, the ripples vibrated, and then he suddenly used the extremely powerful "plucking" fingering technique, and the ripples formed by "Song of Green Pine" by dozens of people were actually controlled by him alone, and rushed towards Fang Yun like an army.

Qiao Juze and others subconsciously played music to stop them, but they were one step too late. If these hundreds of ripples rushed in front of Fang Yun together, Fang Yun's music would be interrupted, and he might even be defeated at the Danbo Pavilion. In the end, he was forced to leave the capital because of his failure in chasing away the academy.

"mean!"

Qiao Juze was about to fight back against the young duke with the tanbo music, but suddenly the urgent sound of "General's Order" rang in his ears. It turned out that the music had entered the third part, showing the rapid march of the army.

At this moment, Fang Yun finally used the improved "General's Order". He had not used it before because the newly improved "General's Order" contained several fingerings from later generations, and this fingering had a very powerful effect on war music.

The fingering of "Jie" is to use the ring finger, middle finger and index finger to pierce the three strings at the same time. The three fingers are as one! The three strings are as one! The three sounds are as one!

As soon as this sound came out, the three ripples actually merged into one, merging into a thicker and higher ripple.

No, it can be said to be a miniature ring-shaped wave!

But this is not the end, Fang Yun immediately used the "lian" fingering technique, plucking the three strings in succession to produce three sounds in total, and the following three ripples followed closely behind that wave.

Finally, Fang Yun used the "Lin" fingering technique, with his index finger plucking from the seventh string to the first string, instantly plucking seven ripples, and finally the seven ripples merged into one!

Another higher wave!

There were countless ripples in the Tanbo Lake, but the most obvious ones were the hundreds of fine ripples of "Green Pine Song" that spread rapidly towards Fang Yun's location. Directly opposite the ripples of "Green Pine Song" were two waves plus one ripple formed by "General's Order".

The two sides are getting closer and closer. Closer and closer...

The fourth part of "The General's Order" begins, and a fierce battle begins!

Fang Yun's three-tone wave was like a team of brave and fierce cavalrymen diving into the waves of "Song of Green Pine". There was a faint roar of thousands of troops charging, piercing through hundreds of waves, and finally slowly disappearing.

"You are not strong enough!" The young duke looked at Fang Yun gloomily, his ten fingers continuously tapping the waves, and the passionate sound of "Song of Green Pine" echoed throughout the Tanbo Lake.

Fang Yun continued to play "General's Order", and saw the three tight waves formed by the fingering of "连" like heavy armored infantry, advancing forward at a very slow speed, although slow, but step by step to defeat all the waves that attacked.

After a while, the three tight ripples dissipated, less than ten feet away from the young duke.

A hint of panic flashed in the young Duke's eyes. He didn't expect that not only did he fail to stop Fang Yun, but dozens of people were forced into a desperate situation by Fang Yun!

If Fang Yun's counterattack is successful, the "Song of Green Pine" by these dozens of people will be completely interrupted, and most members of Kang Society and Liufeng Society will be defeated at this fourth pavilion. It will surely become the darkest day since the establishment of the two societies.

The seven-tone wave formed by Fang Yun's final "Lin" fingering moved forward slowly and steadily, neither as fierce as the "Jie" fingering nor as steady as the "Lian" fingering, but it had the momentum of a general going out to fight and pointing his sword at the world!

Behind the Seven Sounds and Waves, numerous ripples appeared, like soldiers going to die together.

Seeing Fang Yun's wave approaching, the young Duke said sternly: "Even if I don't enter the Lingyan Pavilion within a year, I can't let you succeed!"

As the young Duke spoke, he stretched out his hand and slapped Fang Yun's piano sound wave, wanting to completely destroy the seven-tone wave with brute force.

"How dare you!" Qiao Juze cursed loudly, and then subconsciously opened his mouth to spit out verbal attacks. But the power of Lingyan Pavilion stopped him.

"You have completely lost your dignity!" the Mohist scholar sighed softly.

Fang Yun said calmly: "I advise you not to do this!"

The young Duke ignored him and looked at Fang Yun. He looked fierce and slapped him without hesitation.

Everyone clearly saw that the moment the young duke's palm landed on the Seven Sound Waves, he suddenly raised his hand, then let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered, and a large amount of blood spurted out from his hand.

The people nearby took a closer look and gasped, seeing a deep wound across the young duke's palm. If the young duke had hesitated for a moment longer, his entire right hand would have been cut off.

"The sound of the piano is so sharp that it can break fingers!" many people exclaimed in unison.

“The peak of the first realm!”

Many people from Kangshe and Liufengshe originally wanted to take pictures, but now they just raised their hands, too scared to move.

The ripples of Fang Yun's "General's Order" slowly spread in all directions, swallowing up all the waves formed by "Song of Green Pine". The people from Kang Society and Liufeng Society all raised their hands high, not daring to move, for fear that the waves would cut them in half.

The waves of the others did not conflict with the waves of "General's Order" at all. Those people breathed a sigh of relief and continued to play, but the tune and sound of the piano had changed and was far inferior to before.

A silver lightning came down and landed on the young duke.

“Ah…” The young Duke screamed and struggled, and finally slowly disappeared in the Tanbo Pavilion.

The sound of burning flesh spread across Tanbo Lake.

Fang Yun withdrew his hands.

"The performance is over."

Later, Fang Yun, like Wei Yu, successfully passed the fourth pavilion.

Some people from Kang Society and Liufeng Society were stunned, frightened by the lightning and didn't know whether to bounce back or not.

One of the candidates finally couldn't stand the huge pressure anymore and said, "I am ashamed and I will give up this Lingyan Pavilion."

He quickly disappeared from the spot.

Soon, fourteen people gave up voluntarily.

The students in the academy who were in opposition to the Kang Society and the Liufeng Society lowered their heads and laughed. After the Lingyan Pavilion today, the reputation of the two societies would inevitably drop to the lowest point in decades.

Fang Yun's eyes went dark and bright, and he found himself in a foggy place. In front of him was a pavilion that was similar in style to the previous one but slightly larger.

The words on the plaque of the pavilion were changed to "Moving Mountains".

And in front of the pavilion, two signs appeared.

There was one at the bottom of the list, very ordinary, with the words: Wei Yu, 8 in etiquette, 8 in elasticity.

Fang Yun shook his head slightly. As far as he knew, Wei Yu had won nine chips at Tanbo Pavilion last time.

Then, Fang Yun looked at the second wooden sign, which was emitting a faint golden light.

Fang Yun: Ten chips for etiquette and ten chips for elasticity.
