It turned out that the person playing the piano on the stage was the most honorable ruler of Yingxian Island, Shi Fengdu's master - Bai Ai, a powerful master in the fusion stage.
Like Master Sanshui, his hair and eyebrows were as white as snow, and his skin was very smooth and elastic. Chen Xiao took a few glances and felt that Bai Ai must have been a handsome man who was popular among female cultivators when he was young. Even now in his twilight years, he was still a handsome old man.
The master's skills were indeed a hundred times stronger than those of the disciple who had learned to play the flute in the foundation-building stage. Chen Xiao was quickly drawn into the music and his mind was completely unable to think.
He just felt that his emotions were rising and falling with the piano music, and his passion was surging, just like attending a live rock band concert, making people want to stand up and dance along.
However, all the guests sat in their seats very reservedly. Chen Xiao didn't want to stand out alone, so he just clenched his fists tightly, his face flushed with excitement.
"Huh?" The monk Sanshui beside him exclaimed in surprise. Chen Xiao reluctantly moved his eyes away from the wonderful performance and glanced at him. He didn't have many acquaintances at this Dharma Assembly. If there was something going on with the monk Sanshui, he naturally couldn't just sit back and watch.
Master Sanshui looked a little puzzled. Chen Xiao leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Master, what happened?"
"Hmm..." Sanshui Shangren pondered for a moment, and said amid the passionate music: "I am not a music practitioner, and I am not proficient in music. I just think that Qingsong Weng's music is more profound."
He glanced around and turned to the puzzled Chen Xiao and said, "Look at the willow trees by the lake and the lotus in the water. They are all moved by the sound of the zither. In the past, Qingsong Weng could not have done this without using his true energy to play the zither."
The purpose of the Lunyin Dharma Assembly was to appreciate and exchange ideas, not to compete or learn from each other. All the immortal cultivators who were going to perform on stage simply showed their progress in music, without mixing in their true essence.
Otherwise, the sound of Bai Ai's piano at the fusion stage would directly cause the internal organs of practitioners below the Nascent Soul stage to rupture.
Chen Xiao then looked around and saw that the willows on the shore seemed to be blown by the wind, swaying violently to the rhythm of the music. The lotus in the water was also shaking its huge flowers and leaves. At first glance, it looked like a group of elves dancing to the music.
Although Sanshui Shangren noticed something was wrong, he couldn't find the reason. But in Chen Xiao's eyes, the reason for all this was very clear.
This is the Feng Shui of the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Bureau being activated!
Bai Ai was at the Fengtai, which was also the center of the Fengshui Bureau. Chen Xiao had originally asked the person in charge of the seating arrangement at the Island Master's Mansion to give some advice, and arranged the stage according to the best location for the music venue.
And now Bai Ai is playing in the center, the sound of the piano is amplified by the influence of the aura, spreading to the surroundings and driving the entire Half Moon Lake.
The aura is driven, which naturally causes air flow to surge, resulting in the current situation.
Although it was not what Chen Xiao expected, it was also reasonable and not too surprising.
But he didn't know how shocked Bai Ai, who was on the Phoenix Terrace, was at this moment. He was in the middle of it and felt the changes caused by this influence the most.
After all, Bai Ai was well-informed and quickly realized that it was caused by the feng shui layout that looked like a magic circle.
He had just come to the water ceremony in advance to take a look when he was entertaining a few friends, and stood on the Phoenix Platform with his companions.
However, I didn't play it here at that time, so I didn't know this phenomenon would happen. This Fengtai is not only novel and beautiful, but it can actually amplify the rhythm, making the original 70% to 80% of the appeal be rendered to 10%, and the original 10% of the expressiveness is even enhanced to 120%!
For Bai Ai's disciples, if they can come here to play from time to time, it will be of great help to their learning of music. It can not only enhance their self-confidence, but also let them know how to play better.
It is an excellent place for practicing music!
Feeling a little excited, Bai Ai played the melody more intensely. Chen Xiao's emotions were pulled to a higher level, and then at the highest point, it exploded like fireworks, and his consciousness was blank for a moment.
When he came to his senses, he realized that Bai Ai had left Fengtai at some point, and someone was moving the piano table away.
Chen Xiao blinked, feeling embarrassed for his absent-mindedness. He turned his head and found that Li Yuzhou and Du Rong were in even worse condition, and they had not yet recovered.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but after a moment, he realized that something was wrong. His mental strength had actually increased compared to before!
Seeing his eyes wide open in astonishment, Master Sanshui, who was drinking tea from the cup, thought something was wrong with him. When he heard his discovery, Master Sanshui couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He said, "My friend, this is why everyone in the world of immortal cultivation is willing to participate in various ceremonies, because there is always something to gain at the ceremonies. It can be an opportunity for enlightenment, or the tempering of spiritual power, or a direct improvement in cultivation. The Lunyin Ceremony is just one of them."
"So that's how it is." Chen Xiao murmured.
He really didn't know this beforehand, and Du Rong hadn't told him either. It wasn't that Du Rong didn't want to tell him, but that they hadn't really touched this level yet.
At this time, a manager from the Island Master's Mansion came up from the bluestone steps at the back. After coming in, he bowed slightly to the people present and then came directly to Chen Xiao.
He whispered, "Master Chen, the island owner wants you to come over for a chat."
Chen Xiao was surprised: "Now?" It was during the Dharma Assembly, and there were other people who would go to the Phoenix Stage to perform later. Why would they call him over at this time? "Do you know what it is?"
The steward bowed and said, "I don't know."
Chen Xiao could vaguely guess why Bai Ai came to him at this time. He looked at Li Yuzhou, who had just come to his senses and was still a little confused, and Du Rong, who had not yet woken up, with a little worry.
Sanshui Shangren said, "Don't worry, my friend. I will help you take care of these two friends."
Chen Xiao stood up and bowed gratefully: "Thank you, Master."
Chen Xiao followed the steward and left the pavilion. Instead of returning to the shore, he used his body skills to tap on the bluestone steps on the water surface. After a while, he arrived at the pavilion in the center.
For the sake of beauty and symmetry, these bird pavilions are arranged in an orderly manner and of different sizes, symbolizing birds of different sizes. The pavilion where Bai Ai is located is a larger one, which can accommodate five tables.
However, because it was the seat for the island owner, three tables were still placed for comfort and spaciousness. Bai Ai sat at the middle table, and his friends sat with him. The other two tables were for relatives and friends brought by friends, and Shi Fengdu and other disciples of the island owner.
Facing so many big shots at once, most of whom were in the fusion stage, Chen Xiao couldn't help but become nervous.
Shi Fengdu twisted his body to look at him, encouraging him with his eyes.
Chen Xiao took a deep breath, walked up to Bai Ai and bowed to the disciple in front of him: "Junior Chen Xiao pays homage to the island master."
Disciple etiquette cannot be used casually when one is not a relative or friend. Bai Ai's friend next to him was a little surprised at his rashness, and then he heard Bai Ai say in a dignified but not kind voice: "Nephew Chen, please stand up quickly."
Chen Xiao stood up and looked up respectfully so that Bai Ai could see him clearly from the front.
Bai Ai took a look at him and seemed to be satisfied with his appearance and temperament. He nodded slowly and said, "Because I have been in seclusion, I have not been able to meet you." As he said this, he turned his wrist and took out a spiritual jade pendant and handed it to Chen Xiao. "This spiritual jade can prevent mental attacks. You young people often go out to travel, so my nephew can use it for self-defense."
Chen Xiao knew that Shi Fengdu must have told him about his relationship with his eldest brother. Bai Ai gave him a gift for the sake of Master Xi Yunting.
Chen Xiao did not refuse and said, "It is a gift from the elder, I dare not refuse." After taking the jade, he hung it on his body.
Bai Ai admired his open-minded attitude and nodded, saying, "Thank you for your trouble in setting up this Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Terrace. The effect is really outstanding. Fengdu, you told me before that you have worked hard, my nephew. You have made an invaluable contribution to this Lunyin Dharma Assembly. I will remember your kindness."
If just now he was taking care of the younger generation because of the relationship of old friendship, this time he really valued Chen Xiao's personal ability.
People of his level would not easily say things like "remember favors". This made the friends around him curious. One of them, a graceful man in an indigo robe, said, "Qingsong Weng, don't keep us in suspense. What did this little guy do to make you think so highly of him?"
Bai Ai chuckled and said, "Just now you were asking why the performance at this venue was better than that at the palace square. This was all done by this nephew." He turned to Chen Xiao, "I am also a little curious why Feng Shui has such an influence."
Chen Xiao knew that the opportunity had come. He suppressed his excitement and calmly explained to Bai Ai how the aura could amplify the music and affect the airflow, thereby driving the gathering of vitality and affecting the spiritual energy of the area.
Over time, Chen Xiao's understanding of spiritual energy and aura became increasingly profound. With just a few words, he used simple and easy-to-understand words to explain the key points clearly.
Bai Ai couldn't keep him for too long, and after he got to know the situation a little bit, when the second person to go on stage got onto the Phoenix Stage, Chen Xiao tactfully took his leave.
Chen Xiao was surprised to be able to make his presence felt in front of so many powerful people and achieve his original goal easily. He felt very lucky.
Little did I know that this was just the beginning.
There were many people who were proficient in music who came to participate in the Lunyin Dharma Assembly, and many of them could see through the mystery. In addition, the conversation in the island owner's pavilion was not kept secret, and it soon spread out, and soon the seats in other pavilions also heard about it.
If they were just satisfying their curiosity at the beginning, then a famous female cultivator who played the pipa was promoted to a smaller realm with a song on the Phoenix Stage, which immediately caused a sensation.
