Tears glistened in the old man's eyes.
It was a recognition of Gu Youran's talent, and also an expression of gratitude for the fulfillment of his long-cherished wish.
The old man's voice trembled a little, "Son, you play very well."
"I seem to see the shadow of my youth. That desperate pursuit is perfectly interpreted in your performance."
The young man standing nearby said excitedly: "Your performance made me understand the true meaning of music."
"This song, 'The Storm', seems to come alive under your fingertips, with its raging storms, magnificent waves, and heart-stirring emotions."
Gu Youran felt warm in his heart.
She originally discovered this piece of music in a tattered sheet of music.
At that time, I was attracted by its unique melody and passionate emotions.
Unexpectedly, this song was the work of Mr. Sun Bohan, a legend in the music world.
"You...you are Teacher Sun Bohan..."
There was a tremor of disbelief in Gu Youran's voice.
The old man smiled slightly and said, "Yes, I am Sun Bohan."
“I once hoped that one day I could hear the song ‘The Wind and the Waves’ performed perfectly. Today, you did it.”
Gu Youran was shocked when he heard this.
Sun Bohan is a giant in the music world.
He has composed countless songs, each one of which is unforgettable.
Unexpectedly, today I would have the honor to receive his recognition.
I never expected that this song would make my heart beat so deeply.
It turned out to be the masterpiece of Teacher Sun Bohan.
"Teacher Sun Bohan...are you okay?"
Gu Youran's voice was full of respect and concern.
Sun Bohan nodded, with a hint of relief in his eyes.
"I'm fine, but I haven't been able to find anyone who can perform 'Jet of Fire' in its entirety over the years, and I feel a little regretful. But today, you gave me hope."
As he spoke, Sun Bohan took out an exquisite box from his arms and gently opened it. Inside lay an extremely strange object.
A pendant crafted from an unknown metal.
This pendant is shaped like the intricate strings of an ancient musical instrument.
It is inlaid with nine gems of different colors, each of which seems to contain endless power and secrets.
They sparkle alluringly in the dim light.
"Child." Sun Bohan's voice echoed in the hall like an ancient echo.
"This is the 'Heart of the Strings,' a treasure passed down from generation to generation. Only those who can play the essence of the song 'The Wind and the Waves' are worthy of owning it."
Gu Youran stared at the pendant in surprise, feeling extremely excited.
She never thought that she would have the opportunity to become the owner of this mysterious treasure.
Sun Bohan continued, “The nine gemstones in this pendant represent the nine elements of music.”
"The first is melody, which is like the line of life and gives music soul; the second is harmony, which makes music fuller and more layered;"
"The third is rhythm, which is the skeleton of the music and supports the rhythm of the entire work; the fourth is timbre, which determines the color of the music and makes people unforgettable;"
"The fifth is the treble, it's like the sound of nature, leading people to a higher realm. The sixth is the bass, it's deep and powerful, adding a rich depth to the music."
Having said that, Sun Bohan paused slightly, his eyes flashing with wisdom.
"As for the remaining three gems, they represent the texture, emotion, and power of music, respectively."
“Texture makes music more delicate, emotion makes music full of vitality, and power is the key to music's ability to transcend time and space and move people’s hearts.”
Gu Youran was fascinated by what he heard.
She seemed to see the infinite possibilities of the world of music, and also felt the heavy responsibility on her shoulders.
She understood this "heart of musical strings".
Not only that, it was recognition of her performance of "The Wind and the Waves".
It is also an expectation and encouragement for her future musical career.
"Teacher, I..." Gu Youran's voice trembled a little.
She didn't know how to express her gratitude.
Sun Bohan smiled and patted her shoulder, placing the pendant in her hand.
"Child, you deserve this honor. I believe that in the days to come, you will use this pendant and your musical talent to create more miracles."
“Remember, music is not only an art form, but also a magical force that can connect people’s hearts and convey love and strength.”
Gu Youran held the pendant tightly, feeling the blessing and power from ancient times.
She understood that this was not just a new beginning, but also a brand new challenge.
She wants to use her music to move more people and to inherit and promote the charm of music.
The young man next to him had already been deeply moved by this scene.
He picked up his phone and focused on filming every moment Gu Youran took the pendant.
He knew that this would be an invaluable memory.
It not only records Gu Youran’s glorious moments, but also witnesses the power and inheritance of music.
At the same time, Gu Youran was about to express his gratitude.
Sun Bohan suddenly made a request.
"Child, can you play 'The Wind and the Waves' for us again? I want to record it in its entirety with my phone and keep it as a precious memory."
When Gu Youran heard this, a warm feeling surged in his heart.
She understood that this was not only a recognition of her performance, but also a respect for teacher Sun Bohan's works.
She nodded and sat down at the piano again.
Fingers lightly touched the piano keys, and the familiar melody sounded again.
Like a shout in the wind, and like a call in the raging waves.
It stirred the hearts of everyone present.
The young man next to him held a mobile phone with the camera focused on Gu Youran.
He knew that this would be another precious memory.
This moment not only records Gu Youran's talent and enthusiasm.
We will also witness the eternal charm of Mr. Sun Bohan's works.
At the same time, when Gu Youran played for the second time, a miracle happened.
The "Heart of Strings" pendant that she kept close to her body seemed to be activated by an invisible force.
It resonated strongly with the Nine Star Ring on her wrist.
In a dimension that is inaccessible to the naked eye.
The nine gemstones on the pendant began to sparkle with brilliant light.
As Gu Youran's performance deepened, the nine musical abilities represented by the nine gems were silently absorbed by the Nine Star Ring like a trickle of water.
The light from the nine gems gradually converged into a powerful flow of energy.
Finally it merged into the Nine Star Ring.
At this moment, the Nine Star Ring seemed to be given life, and one of the lines on its surface showed subtle changes.
This line faintly reveals a warm luster.
Its shape is no longer static, but twists slowly and rhythmically with the ups and downs of the melody.
This twisting posture is both soft and powerful.
It perfectly matches Gu Youran's performance.
