Zither Emperor Chapter 165 Chapter 44 Teacher Ye Yinzhu Part 2 _1

165: Chapter 44 Teacher Ye Yinzhu (Part 2) _1 165: Chapter 44 Teacher Ye Yinzhu (Part 2) _1 Ye Yinzhu laughed and said, “I do!

Zither is my childhood.” As he spoke, he couldn’t help but reminisce about his younger days, growing up amidst zither music with Zi always listening nearby.

The blue sky and sea, a place filled with the scent of nature, was so wonderful!

At least there, he never needed to worry about anything, he only needed to pour all his energy into the zither.

Even Xueling and Lanxi, who had voiced her questions, were speechless.

Sixteen years of continuous, rigorous cultivation to achieve today’s acplishments.

Now, they no longer envied Ye Yinzhu for his success as a Divine Music Master, because that was achieved through so much hard work!

It was simply unimaginable for an ordinary person.

Ye Yinzhu said: “The progress of every mage requires continuous cultivation, only the methods differ.

There are no shortcuts.

To bee powerful, corresponding efforts must be made.”

Xueling asked stubbornly:”Yin Zhu, so there is really no other way for us to merge with the emotions of the music?”

Ye Yinzhu hesitated for a moment, then said: “It’s not absolutely impossible.

However, the other method of cultivation is even more difficult.

Simply put, merging fully with music and being able to easily blend with the emotions of any piece of music is not only difficult but also requires a strong perceptiveness.

However, if it’s just one or a few pieces of music, with enough effort, it is still achievable within a certain time.

This is also my current advice to you.

To increase your own power, you have two choices.

One, choose a few of the most monly used and most effective pieces of music for deep understanding.

Fully experiencing their emotions will not only allow you to bring out the effects of the music in a shorter time, but also make the power of the music stronger.

The second option is to enhance the power of the music through ensemble performance.

The power of one person is ultimately limited.

The ensemble performance of us Divine Music Masters is actually the development trend.

Although I haven’t really experimented with it, I think that if everyone in the same piece of music understood its essence, and merged with its emotions, the effect generated by the ensemble performance would not be as simple as adding everyone’s power.

It might very well lead to a qualitative change.

If you trust me, give it a try.

If it succeeds, my guess is correct.

After all, as mages who are most strictly protected on the battlefield, what we need to do is to maximize the power of magic.”

Ye Yinzhu didn’t know that what he said today, along with the simple idea in front of him, would end up creating his undying brilliance throughout his life.

The Qin City’s ‘Twelve Music Squares’, the first formidable fighting system in Qin City’s future, had made its first historic entrance onto the stage.

Xueling laughed and said, “If it’s just one piece of music, I can give it a try.

I’m afraid, I won’t be able to keep up with more.”

Lanxi nodded and said, “I will also work hard.

But, which piece of music should we choose?”

After thinking for a bit, Ye Yinzhu said, “How about we choose the Song of ‘A Ghostly Beauty’?

This ancient tune can be played with any instrument.

You all can practice on your own first.

Once you feel you can fully immerse yourselves in the emotions of the song, you can start trying the ensemble.”

Just as he finished speaking, applause was heard from the classroom entrance.

At some unknown point, Director Nia was already standing there, looking at Ye Yinzhu with a satisfying smile on her face.

“Grandma Nia, you’re here.” Ye Yinzhu’s face turned red, and he quickly stepped down from the podium, “I was just sharing my thoughts to everyone for reference, not trying to take the teacher’s place.”

“It’s okay, you spoke well.

It seems that you are not just a model for our Divine Music Department, but also the hope of its future.” Saying this, Nia couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.

Qin Shang, Qin Shang, I lost to you again.

You indeed have foresight.

No wonder you had Yin Zhu bee a teacher at the college.

His insights and talents, if really bestowed upon these students of the Divine Music Department, the future Divine Music Masters, will bee a formidable presence able to contend with any Mage.

Ye Yinzhu returned to his seat after hearing that Grandma Nia wasn’t blaming him.

She took the podium and said, “I heard most of what Yin Zhu just said.

It really is a good suggestion.

Over the years, us Divine Music Masters have not been able to stand firm on the continent’s stage because we are not strong enough.

As for the Song of ‘A Ghostly Beauty,’ let’s have your first year serve as the trial run.

If it succeeds, I’ll promote this method throughout the entire Divine Music Department.

Quality over quantity holds true for music.

This will be your assignment for this term.

If by the end of the term any of you has not reached the emotional level of ‘A Ghostly Beauty’ as Yin Zhu described, don’t blame me for being harsh when grading.”

The students were left to study on their own.

At the suggestion of Ye Yinzhu, the girls didn’t go into much discussion but began contemplating the melody of ‘A Ghostly Beauty.’ Ye Yinzhu told them, only by continuously playing music, could they gradually find the emotions and everything in the music.

While the girls were pondering, Ye Yinzhu began his own pondering.

An ensemble performance was not as simple as he had put it.

Different instruments, different music pieces, all have different scenarios when performed together.

For example, some instruments can easily conflict with each other whereas others may plement each other.

This was all to be considered during an ensemble performance.

Therefore, although it was just one piece of music, he still needed a long time of thinking to reach a conclusion.

“Ye Yinzhu, e see me after class,” called Nia when it was nearly noon, ing again to the first-year class of the Divine Music Department.

When class ended, the female students looked at Ye Yinzhu differently.

They no longer had the expressions they used to wear when they first saw him as a little boy.

For this handsome yet somewhat shy young man, aside from admiration, they held some respect.

After class, Ye Yinzhu went straight to Nia’s office.

As soon as he walked in, he saw two familiar faces, Haiyang from the second year and Xiang Luan from the third year.

Nia seemed to be explaining something to them and stopped only when Ye Yinzhu entered.

“Yin Zhu, e.” Nia motioned to Ye Yinzhu, beckoning him over to her desk.

Ye Yinzhu glanced at the two young women beside him.

Xiang Luan had a hint of a smirk on her face as she looked at him, while Haiyang looked a lot more shy.

Still dressed in her usual white clothes and black hair, she seemed slightly less icy than before.

“Granny Nia, you called me here because…”

Nia smiled and said, “You did great in the first grade class today, and I listened to most of it.

I find your proposal quite interesting.

Though I’m not certain about your so-called ensemble, I do agree with your method of practicing a single piece of music diligently.

It could potentially address the slow growth of our spiritual power as Divine Music Masters.

Perhaps the ways we’ve been cultivating before were misguided.

Instead of just playing for the sake of playing, we haven’t been truly understanding the music.

I’ve informed Xiang Luan and Haiyang about your ideas, and they’ll try it out with your first-year students.

Hopefully, by the end of the term, there will be some results.

The three of you are the best students in our Divine Music Department.

We’re counting on you to shape its future.”

Ye Yinzhu said, “Granny Nia, why don’t you believe in ensemble music?

Even though integrating different instruments in an ensemble needs precise coordination, it’s not impossible.”

Nia shook her head and said, “It’s not as simple as you think.

In an ensemble, one or several instruments always take the lead.

The precise integration you talk about only occurs under ideal conditions.

Although an ensemble could produce special effects after every Divine Music Master pletely prehends a piece of music, I still have my doubts.

The precise integration of various instruments in an ensemble requires extensive practice and continuous adjustments, it’s not something that can be done overnight.”

Nia’s words poured cold water on Ye Yinzhu, but he didn’t lose his determination.

Quietly nodding, he decided to try it out anyway.

Even if it was difficult to integrate, it didn’t mean it was impossible.

Xiang Luan stared at Ye Yinzhu menacingly.

“Well, Yin Zhu, why didn’t you share your fantastic cultivation method sooner?

Are you doing it deliberately because you’ve taken a fancy to a pretty first-year?

Is that why you’re sharing your secret today?” Despite her fierce demeanor, her beauty made it impossible for her to seem intimidating.

Ye Yinzhu hurriedly laughed it off.

“Of course not!

But you guys never asked me!

It’s not too late to share it now, right?”

Xiang Luan snorted, “That won’t do.

You’re always full of theories.

From now on, you have to share more with Haiyang and me.

We’re string musicians; we have more mon grounds.

I don’t think my spiritual power is that much lesser than yours.

I simply refuse to believe that I’m inferior to you, despite your dual cultivation in magic and martial arts.”

Ye Yinzhu resignedly replied, “All right, feel free to ask me any questions in the future.

But I can’t guarantee you’ll be satisfied with my answers.”

Xiang Luan chuckled, “I love seeing you like this.

You’re adorable.”

Ye Yinzhu puffed up his chest and retorted, “Elder Sister Xiang Luan, it’s a bit improper to call a boy ‘adorable,’ isn’t it?”
