When everyone woke up, they were all stunned by the music.

[This is outrageous! It's just a pipa, yet it evokes the power of a thousand troops. It's incredible! Is this the charm of ancient music?]

[I felt tense and excited listening to it, and it was incredibly varied and eerie. Even though it's an ancient piece, I can totally accept it!]

[This is the first time I've felt the charm of traditional musical instruments so strongly. A piece played on a single instrument is comparable to a symphony—truly remarkable!]

[...]

Without a doubt, this song has captivated the audience.

Bei Chen pointed to the information on the big screen and said:

"This piece is also known as 'Huaiyin Pingchu'. The earliest known score of this piece is found in 'Hua Qiuping Pipa Score'. It depicts the story of the Chu-Han Contention."

In fact, the original version of "House of Flying Daggers" has thirteen segments.

After committing suicide at the Wujiang River, there are three scenes: the army's triumphant return, the generals vying for credit, and the victorious return to camp.

However, to avoid the piece becoming too lengthy, and also to make the mood of the music more focused,

So it was reduced to ten segments, from the initial deafening drumbeats to the subsequent somber and mournful melody, everything was just right…”

Since it is said to be an ancient melody, it must have an origin. Bei Chen explained its background in detail, which would be more convincing to the public.

"Gu Yin, aren't you going to say something?"

Of all those present, Liang Guyin was undoubtedly the one most qualified to say something.

So when the president of the flute association spoke, the audience all looked over.

Listening to the music is one part, and commenting is another.

Not everyone is a professional; most people are just there for the spectacle.

Only by having a professional analyze it can we gain a better understanding.

Liang Guyin glanced at it and realized she really had a lot to say. "Then I'll say a few words without being polite."

"Let's talk about the music first!"

It does not depict highbrow art, nor does it describe romantic love; rather, it is a true martial piece played on the pipa.

It is a life-or-death struggle on the battlefield, a desperate fight at the last minute.

It is an ambush from all sides in tranquility, the magnificent momentum of a great battle, and an even more expansive audio-visual feast.

To be honest, this is the first time in my many years of playing the pipa that I have heard such a stunning pipa piece.

It created a solo performance on a single instrument to depict epic scenes.

As an ancient piece of music, I don't think anyone would object, right?

[What's there to object to? It has background, origin, and quality. If this doesn't qualify as an ancient piece, then what does?]

[Great! Now the pipa community has another ancient piece to learn!]

This piece looks really difficult; how many people can learn it?

Just as netizens were discussing the difficulty of the piece, Liang Guyin was about to talk about that part.

"After we finish discussing the piece, let's talk about the techniques, the difficulty, and the performer's skill level."

What amazed me about this piece was that it encompassed almost all the fingering techniques of the pipa.

Three-string tremolo, five-string tremolo, finger flicking, string pushing, plucking, strumming, strumming...

The sounds of clashing swords, drums, crossbows, and the fighting between men and horses are all vividly portrayed.

At the same time, there are also some percussion-like sounds such as "string twisting" and "sound of shaking," which are used perfectly here.

If this technique is not used properly, it will fall into the category of noise.

But there is absolutely no discomfort to be heard here; every second and every technique is essential.

It is precisely this combination of techniques that makes the music so varied, rich in layers, and realistically depicts the magnificent scene of the great battle.

The audience was filled with excitement and exhilaration.

This is technique!

The performer, Mr. Mask, also possesses impressive playing skills.

The listener felt as if they were personally experiencing that extremely dangerous battle, their entire being enveloped in tension and fear.

Even when the music pauses, it feels like surviving a life-or-death ordeal; one's mind calms slightly but dares not completely relax.

It gives you the feeling of being in the eye of a storm, with nowhere to escape or hide. The only option is to fight to the death and fight with all your might.

Such expressive ability and the ability to create scenarios are things that ordinary pipa players cannot achieve.

In particular, that murderous aura was almost solidifying, which was truly terrifying and formidable.

In terms of murderous intent, even I am inferior.

Therefore, all things considered, I believe Mr. Mask has already achieved national treasure-level pipa playing skills.

These words shocked and stunned everyone!

[Holy crap, what did I just hear? Chairman Liang said she's not as good as Mr. Mask in terms of concentrating murderous intent?]

[This is outrageous! He's a national treasure-level pipa player?! Mr. Mask is so powerful it's almost despair-inducing!]

The pipa is a traditional instrument of Kyushu, so the national treasure level is already the highest level for the pipa; there is no such thing as a world-class level.

In other words, Mr. Mask's pipa skills have reached the pinnacle of the world?

[This logic works flawlessly!]

The word "Mr" in the old Masked Man referred to a male.

This gentleman has achieved remarkable success and is certainly qualified to establish a new school of thought!

These words moved the entire live stream audience.

That's right!

Her pipa playing skills, at a national treasure level, certainly qualify her to establish her own school of thought.

Thus, the title "Mr." is elevated.

Clearly, this incident will significantly elevate Mr. Mask's status in the music industry.

Liang Guyin was excited at this moment. If there weren't so many people present, she really wanted to say:
