Chapter 1248: Chapter 1048: Xian Yu Made a Decision That Goes Against His Ancestors_3

As if consenting by default

Life and death, a withered wait

Rings of withered waiting, year after year

…”

Like poetry, these lyrics.

Like raindrops, these notes.

The highly textured melody falls into the ears of the audience.

The core coaching teams from each continent’s Maestros feel their hearts skip a beat.

This is!

Classical style!?

Xia Fan’s voice continues.

Still singing the lead in the verse.

“The Babel Tower breaks, severing whom’s soul

Pain rushes to a single flickering lamp at the collapsing temple gate

Allow me to wait again

As history turns

Waiting for the mellow wine, for you to play a tune on the guzheng

…”

The flourish of activity comes to a close.

The gates of emptiness, cold and silent.

The faces of the audience gradually change.

Ripples suddenly spread across the live broadcasting rooms.

This…

Seems like…

Classical style?

Everyone is not so sure.

Surprises ripple across the faces of the audience.

There’s even slight unrest at the coaching seat of Zhao Continent.

At this moment.

The melody ascends.

Xia Fan’s voice blends with the tune, belting out the chorus:

“The rain falls in torrents

In the old homeland where grass and trees thrive deep

I’ve heard you are still guarding the lonely city

Outside the city, the sound of a shepherd’s flute

Settles upon that wild village

Fate falls to the earth and takes root, it is us

…”

Xia Fan isn’t using any high-pitched belting, yet this climax is like the resounding gong of an ancient temple, heavily crashing upon the hearts of countless people!

The coaching seat of Zhao Continent.

Some people’s eyes bulge!

Some people’s mouths gape open!

Some are even almost unseated, nearly standing up on the spot, their expressions filled with sheer shock!

How is this possible!

This is unscientific!

Modern instruments can also play classical style music!?

As a classical style song, “Fireworks easily cold” incorporates not a single traditional classical instrument from Blue Star!

All are modern instruments!

Are you slapping our faces or your own, damn it!

Xian Yu!

You have made a decision that defies the ancestors!

Oh.

You are the ancestor.

No problem then.

Suddenly.

A hint of despair emerges in the hearts of the coaching team of Zhao Continent.

…

On the other hand, at the coaching seat of Zhong Continent.

Abigail abruptly turns her head, seeming to gaze into the distance toward the direction of Qin Continent’s coaching seat, swiftly locking onto one young yet calm face!

Xian Yu!

Middle State people do not understand Xian Yu’s poetry.

Abigail does not understand Xian Yu’s poetry either.

But as for the classical style that Xian Yu pioneered, Abigail is certainly no stranger!

As one of Blue Star’s top musicians, how could Abigail not try to understand such a genius new style of music that appeared in the world!?

No Maestro doesn’t understand it!

But it is precisely because of understanding that Abigail’s heart now churns with stormy waves!

Without a doubt.

This song by Xian Yu is the classical style he pioneered.

But this song, compared to the classical style songs Xian Yu created, is truly heretical!

Not to mention the application of those modern instruments.

What Abigail finds most outrageous is the song’s use of classical melodies!

Under normal circumstances.

The atmosphere created by a classical style needs to revolve around the traditional pentatonic scale of “do, re, mi, sol, la.”

This is almost the iron law of such songs!

And the creation of this atmosphere must avoid the fourth and seventh scale degrees.

Because they are completely incompatible at the composition level!

However, Xian Yu’s “Fireworks easily cold” goes against the norm!

In the main melody.

The first two phrases include the note ‘fa’ twice.

The third bar even has an extended three-beat ‘ti’!

These two notes are supposed to clash with the traditional pentatonic scale!

But the strange thing is…

These two scales didn’t clash with the pentatonic scale!

Abigail felt no dissonance whatsoever; on the contrary, she found the unpredictable variations in the melody to be of an unmatched charm!

Revolution!

Xian Yu is personally revolutionizing the classical style of music they pioneered!

“Such an arrogant little thing…”

So young, yet so terrifying!

It’s as if Xian Yu is using this method to tell the people of Zhao Continent:

Don’t be so dogmatic.

The rules I set are not unbreakable.

Is it not suffocating to be bounded by rules and regulations?

Come, come, come.

Listen to this.

I’ll teach you some new tricks.

Music is just this miraculous.

Some hear endless emotion in it.

Abigail only heard Xian Yu’s arrogance!

Clearly a song that’s “entirely non-classical,” yet no one dares to say it’s “not classical.”

Isn’t this arrogance?

Abigail is certain that Xian Yu is doing this on purpose!

…

It wasn’t only Abigail who realized this; many a Maestro on site caught on.

Thus.

There was quite a commotion at the coaching seats of each continent.

However, the average audience member was definitely unaware of these music theory intricacies.

In fact.

Unknowingly.

The audience had become completely immersed in the music, even forgetting the matters that had preoccupied them before.

In their ears.

Only Xia Fan’s singing resounded:

“Listening to youth welcome laughter with envy from many

The gentle annals hesitate to pen down that which is too harsh

Fireworks easily cold

Human affairs easily parted

And you ask me if I’m still serious?

A thousand years later, who else waits amidst deep-rooted affection

Yet how could the history pages not record truth, the Wei Annals of Luoyang City

As if you follow

Passing by from a former life

Following the dust of this world, accompanying me through a life of wanderlust

…”

The lyrics sketched out thousands of scenes.

The nation shattered, mountains and rivers remained, but the people gone.

Grass grows, the city welcomes spring, but my heart grows cold.

Raindrops shattered on the ground, leading to the mottled ancient city on moss-covered bluestone slabs, where at the city gate lingers a solitary and elderly figure.

A promise of a union.

A lifetime of waiting.

At the city gate unfolded a wait spanning the torrents of time.

Ten years ago.

Luoyang City in its heyday of prosperity.

Qielan Temple’s incense burned fervently.

Fortunate unions joyously formed, hand in hand wishing for greying years; a date set, vows over mountains and oceans dissolve a thousand sorrows.

Ten years later.

Endless green mountains.

Not a single soul.

Love divided into levels, where do I stand?

The past seems to choke in the songs.

The endless sorrow of departure feels as if it only happened yesterday.

The sky overcast.

Ruined walls and broken mounds.

The person long gone.

The shepherd’s flute plays across.

The ancient temple grows ever more desolate.

His clothes ragged and wrinkled aplenty.

Old tree roots decay further in the rain.

Perhaps the rainy hamlet and that old grave are also keeping watch with him, awaiting that reunion across space and time.

Not long after.

Here should lie two graves.

The scenes painted by the music clearly reflected in people’s hearts.

The singing turned into raindrops falling on the audience’s skins.

Suddenly.

An audience member snapped back to reality.

Even the slowest audience members should come around at Xia Fan’s ending line “At Qielan Temple, listening to the rain, longing for eternity”.

“Damn!”

What kind of instrument is that!

Who decreed that classical style must be played with traditional instruments?

Isn’t this undeniably a classical style song!

Boom!

Xian Yu’s third classical piece debuted, breaking free from the confines of the pentatonic scale, striking the Maestros of all continents like lightning!

Of course.

The audience from all continents could not escape at this moment either, all falling into shock!

————————

ps: “East Wind Breaks” symbolizes the beginning, “Blue and White Porcelain” signifies the fruition, and “Fireworks Easily Cold” represents the breakthrough. However, this piece is like a work of spiritual awakening, lacking any discernible patterns to follow, as if inspiration struck without prevention, forcibly creating a new Chinese-style piece.
