Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 443 Nine Songs
Kagura?

Ying Baoyue was startled when she heard this.

This is the highest evaluation that can be given to the music played by practitioners.

Although she had heard Ji Jiashu play the flute more than once before, but at that time she was just playing for her own entertainment, not playing with all her strength.

She had never seen that boy's full strength.

It wasn't the sacrificial dance, but hearing that the boy might be accompanying it, Ying Baoyue instantly felt that most of the fighting spirit of the other practitioners around him disappeared.

All because of one person.

Lord Chunhua of Southern Chu, Ji Jiashu.

Before coming to Nanchu, he had heard of his reputation, but after coming to Nanchu for so many days, it was the first time that Ying Baoyue felt the status of that young man in the hearts of young practitioners so directly.

Looking up at a high mountain can even be called fear.

Of course, I didn't feel it before, it's just because this boy has left the level where they are still competing.

Thinking about it now, when Ji Jiashu participated in the primary ceremony, the scene must have been very exciting.

After all, even after three years, it was still being mentioned.

Ying Baoyue looked at Ye Siyuan who was on the altar, not only Ye Siyuan, in fact, the real age of the descendants of the noble families who participated in the primary ceremony this year was relatively old, and the reason for this was that most of the descendants of the noble families... avoided last time.

No one even dared to compete with him on the same stage.

And in this class, they are still candidates, and the boy who became the leader at the age of 13 has already become their examiner.

Ying Baoyue took a deep breath, looked at the young man who was thinking about something with his head down on the high platform in the distance, and remembered the voice of the young man who came from the tree when he didn't know who he was.

His obsession with practice, and other people's fear of him.

He is really strong, so strong that people can even ignore his age.

Ji Jiashu, who was standing on the high platform where the examiner was, was actually about the same age as the teenagers on the altar, or even younger.

He is only 15 years old.

Of course, to Ying Baoyue, this age is nothing. It is said that when she was 15 years old in her previous life, she was already a heavenly rank...

It's just that in this life, Ji Jiashu's joining has really had a great impact.

And this influence is enough to influence the situation of the battle.

"what to do……"

"Nan Chu actually asked Chun Hua to play music..."

"This time Nanchu will definitely win..."

Hearing the panicked discussions of practitioners around, Ye Siyuan on the altar showed a smug smile, but at this moment another voice rang out from under the altar.

"Wait, Mr. Chunhua hasn't responded yet!"

"Mr. Chunhua is the examiner. Will you really agree to such a request?"

Ying Baoyue was startled when she heard the sound, and looked at Ji Jiashu who had remained silent on the high platform.

Among the many rumors surrounding Mr. Chunhua, apart from being powerful, he is also very famous.

A gentleman is a gentleman.

That's the damn integrity that other practitioners say.

Ying Baoyue is also very familiar with this.

Most of the sons of the aristocratic family regard the interests of their own family as the criterion, while practitioners pursue profit, but Ji Jiashu has his own code of conduct, and in the eyes of some practitioners, he is a very difficult person to deal with.

Now this scene, any Southern Chu cultivator would not refuse.After all, who can take advantage of the loopholes in the rules to help the country win, which Southern Chu person would refuse?
But one person will.

At this moment, Ji Jiashu on the high platform raised his head and looked at Ye Siyuan on the altar.

"Sorry," the young man said quietly, "I understand what Mr. Ye means."

"But the kid is the examiner of this year's primary ceremony, so he shouldn't have gotten involved in the struggle of the candidates."

"This request is difficult to obey."

The young man's voice was neither humble nor overbearing, and the people from Nanchu who were in the audience almost shivered when they heard it.

Although he stood far away, Ji Jiashu's voice was filled with real energy, as if it rang in the ears of everyone present, and everyone had different expressions when they heard the words.

"I said it would be like this...he won't agree..."

Chen Zichu murmured behind Ye Siyuan on the altar, and Xu Yishan silently looked at his friend who was always in a dilemma.

Both he and Chen Zichu knew about this in advance, but Ye Siyuan was forced by Southern Chu's own interests, Chen Zichu couldn't bring trouble to his family, he couldn't bring trouble to his school and master, and he couldn't speak out.

Not everyone has the confidence and courage to refuse like Ji Jiashu.

When they were young, maybe everyone had such a dream of wanting to uphold justice forever, but they will eventually become adults and accept reality.

"Mr. Chunhua," Ye Siyuan sneered at Ji Jiashu when he heard Ji Jiashu's answer.

"Second Young Master Ji is a man of integrity, he can be called a role model for my generation, but do you still remember that you are from Southern Chu?"

Ji Jiashu slowly clenched his fist under the sleeve.

"The cultivators of Southern Chu have sworn to dedicate everything to Southern Chu forever."

Ye Siyuan said slowly.

"It's just playing music, but there is no rule that the examiner can't accompany the candidates in the crowd," Ye Siyuan smiled. Is there a festival dance and music?"

Moral kidnapping.

This is probably why Ye Siyuan chose to change musicians on the spot in such a large audience.

Ying Baoyue took a deep breath.Ye Siyuan or Nanchu Ye family knew very well that if he mentioned it to Ji Jiashu in advance, Ji Jiashu's personality would never accept it, so he chose to force him to submit in the name of righteousness under such an occasion.

It is true that a gentleman deceives people with methods.

Beside the high platform, all the Nanchu people focused their eyes on Ji Jiashu, admiring, worried, puzzled, and disappointed. I don't know how much pressure the young man was under at this time.

On the high platform, Jiang Yuanyuan looked at the silent young man beside him, narrowed his eyes slightly and did not speak for the time being.

But Ying Baoyue knew very well that if Ji Jiashu continued to refuse, the young man would also speak up for the sake of Nanchu's victory.

"There is no precedent for this matter," and at this moment, Ji Jiashu spoke again.

The young man's eyes were clear, he didn't look at the crowd, he raised his head and just looked at the aggressive Ye Siyuan on the high platform, "I'm sorry I can't do this without the order of the chief examiner and the national teacher."

examiner...

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, and looked at Mr. Mengyang on the high platform who had closed his eyes and meditated.

But in fact, the point of this sentence is not the main examiner, but the national teacher.

Ying Baoyue quietly watched the scene in front of her.In fact, the primary ceremony was originally to be presided over by the Southern Chu State Teacher. Li Mengyang is smooth and famous as Ji Jiashu, so it is impossible for this old man to express his position clearly and get angry.

But fortunately, Southern Chu Guoshi Ji Mo is currently in seclusion, and he can't make any decision for a while. Ji Jiashu is probably planning to use this to shirk the matter.

However, at this moment, Ying Baoyue's eyes suddenly caught a smug smile from the corner of Ye Siyuan's mouth on the altar.

Ying Baoyue's heart skipped a beat again.

An old voice suddenly sounded from the side of the high platform.

"Regarding this matter, Second Young Master, the master has already agreed."

Hearing the reputation, Ji Qingyuan and Ji Ange's siblings sitting in the box shrank their pupils.

"Ji...Second Uncle Ji?" On the high platform, Ji Jiashu opened his eyes wide, staring in astonishment at his old servant who suddenly appeared beside the high platform.

Although he was just a servant, many nobles from aristocratic families knew the face of this old man.

Because this person is Ji Mo's personal servant, Ji Er.

Holding a scroll in Ji's second hand, he slowly walked up the high platform and handed it to Ji Jiashu, with a low voice, "Last night, the master sent a message saying that he allowed this matter. It's no big deal for the examiner to play."

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder he hadn't received any news beforehand.

Ji Jiashu tightly held the scroll with his father's handwriting in his hand.

If his father had blocked the information, he would have received nothing.

The Nanchuye family has actually achieved such a level.He actually went to ask Ji Mo in advance.

And Ji Mo, the national teacher of Southern Chu, couldn't disagree from the very beginning.He is such a man.

Ying Baoyue looked at the young man who had no way out on the high platform and took a deep breath. She had been with Ji Jiashu for so long that she almost forgot about it.

How could she forget it.

Ji Mo has always been the most standard national teacher based on the interests of Southern Chu.

The so-called rules of justice are worthless in the eyes of that man.

"Since the meaning of Master Guoshi is very clear," Ye Siyuan looked at Ji Jiashu who was holding the scroll on the high platform and smiled complacently, "Then Second Young Master Ji, it's getting late, let's hurry up and start."

"I haven't rehearsed with you beforehand, so I don't know which sacrificial dance you have chosen." Ji Jiashu raised his head, looking at Ye Siyuan with no joy or anger on his face, and said calmly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to cooperate with you. "

"You can rest assured about this," Ye Siyuan smiled, and patted Chen Zichu's shoulder next to him, "The step-son took us to practice the ritual dances of each chapter of Jiuge in advance, and we can dance any one."

As long as you are from Southern Chu, it is impossible not to know Jiuge.

And it is impossible for Ji Jiashu not to know how to play Nine Songs.

"Really?" At this moment, Ji Jiashu's eyes suddenly sharpened, "You can play music, but I have one condition. I must choose the repertoire."

Ye Siyuan was taken aback for a moment, and he had no reason to refuse after saying this, and reluctantly nodded, "Of course it's fine, but Second Young Master Ji, what do you want to play?"

In other words, what will Nan Chu dance this time?
Everyone at the scene became nervous when they heard the words.

"I can only play..."

And at this moment, the boy on the high platform showed his first smile so far.

Ying Baoyue was slightly taken aback.

He only heard the young man's Qingjun voice next to his ear.

Say the name of that piece of music.

"Nine Songs."

"Young Master."

　"Nine Songs" is the title of "Chu Songs", which was originally the name of an ancient song in Chinese myths and legends. Qu Yuan, a native of Chu in the Warring States Period, adapted and processed it on the basis of the folk songs of offering sacrifices to gods in Chu. The images of gods are mostly love songs of man and god. "Nine Songs" has a total of eleven chapters: "Eastern Emperor Taiyi", "Yunzhongjun", "Xiangjun", "Mrs. Xiang", "Great Commander", "Shao Commander", "Dongjun", "He "Bo", "Mountain Ghost", "National Martyr", "Rite Soul".
