Sword of the Nine Heavens, the Fall of the Gods

Chapter 106 The performance begins

When Chengfeng was wondering, a figure hurriedly walked towards him from the hall.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Jia Rui, Situ Yifan's subordinate.

Seeing Chengfeng, Jia Rui took a breath, with a hint of urgency in his words.

"Brother Chengfeng, it's your turn soon. The mine owner wants you to go back and change your costume."

Chengfeng knew Situ Yifan’s arrangement, nodded, and returned to the hall with Jia Rui.

At this time, five high-ranking officials of the Great Sui Dynasty were sitting on the main stand of the hall, one woman and four men.

They are Crown Prince Yang Yong, Princess Lanling, Prime Minister Gao Jiong, General He Ruobi, and General Yu Juro.

The five people were drinking and chatting, seemingly not minding the large-scale chime performance on the stage.

No wonder, this kind of performance has become commonplace for the royal family and has no appeal at all.

Although instruments such as the pipa and guzheng are beautiful, they are not grand enough, so large chimes are still the first choice of various music halls.

Seeing that the chime performance of "Chaolu Music House" was about to end, Situ Yifan waved to Chengfeng and handed over the tailored suit.

"Brother! Put on this set of clothes, and it will be done in a moment."

Cheng Feng took the suit and took a look at it, then said with a smile, "Brother Situ, I've heard that you designed the costumes for the play. I wonder what they are like?"

"Don't worry, bro. I guarantee you'll look stunningly handsome when you put it on." Situ Yifan said, patting his chest.

"So handsome?"

Chengfeng’s memory before the time travel was sealed, and he obviously didn’t understand this word, with a look of confusion on his face.

The performance was about to begin, and Situ Yifan had no intention of explaining further, so he took the suit from Chengfeng's hand.

"Brother, you probably don't know how to wear this dress. Let me help you."

As he spoke, he reached out and took off Chengfeng's outer robe, then found a stool for Chengfeng to sit on, and skillfully put his trousers over Chengfeng's legs.

Although there were no belts like today, Situ Yifan had already prepared a stack of cloth strips and picked one out for Chengfeng to tie.

After a series of operations, the shirt, tie and jacket were all put on.

After finishing the tidying up, Situ Yifan took a few steps back, looked Chengfeng up and down, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Yeah, that's right. This outfit is tailor-made for you. Now, you can charm a lot of girls."

Chengfeng, dressed in a modern professional suit, stood in front of the people around him. His suit was neatly pressed and his posture was as straight as a pine tree.

If it weren't for his long hair and ancient style, he would have looked like a modern professional manager.

In an instant, the eyes of everyone around were focused on Chengfeng. They all widened their eyes and exclaimed in amazement.

Someone in the crowd whispered, "I've never seen such a strange costume before. Brother Chengfeng looks so different in it."

"Yes! This is the first time I've seen this costume. It looks much more handsome and capable."

"Our mine owner is really talented. He can actually come up with such a unique set of clothing."

"I'm so excited. Can we look as elegant as Brother Chengfeng when we put it on?"

"You think too much. Even if Brother Chengfeng is naked, he looks more elegant than you with clothes on."

Chengfeng felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by everyone. He looked down at his clothes and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

It seems that he is curious about this style that he has never seen before, and there seems to be a faint sense of familiarity emerging in his heart.

Eunuch Li on the side also looked at Chengfeng in surprise, his eyes moving back and forth between Chengfeng's suit and long hair, his mouth slightly open as if an egg could fit in it.

"What...what kind of costume is this?" Eunuch Li finally couldn't help but speak, with a hint of disbelief in his voice.

Situ Yifan smiled and explained: "This is a costume specially made for our Hengda Song and Dance Troupe. Although the style is very different from our usual attire, wearing it gives us a different temperament."

After listening to his explanation, Eunuch Li nodded continuously and thought to himself: This Hengda Song and Dance Troupe is really good. No wonder they were summoned to the capital with such simple equipment.

He shook his head slightly and sighed, "Clothes make the man! Your Hengda Song and Dance Troupe is really refreshing. I am really looking forward to your performance."

As soon as he finished speaking, the announcement voice of Manager Zhao, who had deliberately raised his voice, could be heard from the stage.

"Hengda Dance Troupe is ready to go on stage to perform the instrumental drum set."

Situ Yifan hurriedly ordered people to move the drum set to the stage, and followed behind him in a leisurely manner.

In an instant, everyone's eyes in the hall were focused on Chengfeng.

Various discussions arose one after another, and everyone looked at the tall figure in strange clothes with shocked and surprised eyes.

The royal family members and civil and military officials on the main stand also stopped talking to each other.

They put down their glasses and stared without blinking at the young man walking towards the stage.

As Chengfeng walked steadily towards the stage, the atmosphere in the entire hall seemed to be frozen by an invisible force and became silent.

Chengfeng's tall and straight figure looked even more unique under the sunlight in the hall.

The well-tailored suit looked particularly dazzling in the ancient-style hall.

It seems like a dislocation of time and space, with the modern and ancient times blending wonderfully at this moment.

Crown Prince Yang Yong raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of curiosity and interest flashed in his eyes.

He had never seen such a unique attire, nor had he ever seen such a novel musical instrument - a drum set - at any court banquet.

Princess Lanling covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes flashing with curiosity and admiration for Chengfeng.

She gently tugged at Prime Minister Gao Jiong's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Prime Minister, have you ever seen such a strange costume?"

Gao Ying twirled his beard and pondered for a moment, then shook his head, but his eyes could not hide his anticipation for the next show.

General He Ruobi and General Yu Juluo looked at each other, and Yu Juluo's naturally double pupils were filled with surprise and approval.

On the stage, the drum set has been set up.

Chengfeng calmly sat in front of the drums, his eyes focused and deep, as if he could penetrate the hustle and bustle in front of him and reach the purest soul of the music.

Holding the drumsticks gently with both hands, the perfect sense of weight made Chengfeng instantly feel an unprecedented connection - a connection with the drums, a connection with music, and even a connection with this time and space.

As a clear drumbeat sounded, the entire hall fell silent in an instant, with everyone's eyes fixed on the stage.

In an instant, Chengfeng's drumsticks were flying and her long hair was dancing. Every hit on the drum set was precise and powerful, and her performance was free and easy.

The drum beats are either passionate and surging or low and gentle, like a mountain stream or a galloping horse, perfectly blending the beauty of power and music.

As the tempo quickens, every part of the drum set is given life and becomes one with the wind, together performing a passionate piece of music that transcends time and space.

Everyone in the hall was deeply moved by the power of the music. They stood up and applauded.

Led by Yang Yong, the royal family members and civil and military officials on the main stand all stood up and applauded.

When the passionate melodies of "A Man Should Act on His Own" and "Tang Bohu Lights Mosquito-Repellent Coil" echoed over the hall and finally slowly fell down, the atmosphere in the hall had reached an unprecedented climax.

The applause was like a tide, one wave higher than the other, one wave better than the other, and it lasted for a long time.

People were whispering to each other, marveling at Chengfeng's extraordinary talent and unique creativity.

Such a musical experience is undoubtedly unprecedented for them.

Crown Prince Yang Yong's face was filled with admiration and joy. He waved his hand to stop the noise and applause from the audience, and announced loudly.

"This is the sound of nature. The drum performance just now does not need to be included in the selection and will be directly rated first."

Princess Lanling and the three noble ministers also nodded in agreement and clapped their hands, saying "good".

Naturally, no one stood up to refute Yang Yong's announcement. Everyone was conquered by Chengfeng's wonderful performance.

At this moment, those in the audience were either amazed at Chengfeng's charm and talent, or marveled at the mystery of this new musical instrument, the drum set.

What's more, some people started discussing Chengfeng's identity and origins.

I wonder if he came from a distant foreign land and brought such a unique musical culture with him.

For Chengfeng, this performance was over and he should have gone to the main stand to kneel down and express his gratitude to the royal nobles.

But he would not do that. Instead, he walked off the stage and returned to the crowd.

Crown Prince Yang Yong had prepared a glass of fine wine and intended to reward him.

Unexpectedly, he walked away without looking back.

The wine glass in Yang Yong's hand paused in the air, and he frowned as he watched Chengfeng leaving.
