The Li Family arrived, and the eight Suona opened the way.
Juan 'er, as the only representative of the younger generation, knelt down to welcome them.
The entire funeral hall looked at the Li Family with excited faces.
Eight Suona led by Master Li himself!
It was a rare sight.
Furthermore, everyone felt that Principal Tang's deeds and conduct truly deserved an Eight-Suona send-off!
At that moment..,
In the face of Juan 'er's kneeling ceremony, Li Hongzheng went forward with a solemn expression and helped her up. After she got up, Juan 'er immediately burst into tears.
Master Li's small gesture immediately caused many people to burst into tears.
Following that, Li Hongzheng sighed and walked into the mourning hall. He came to the portrait of Tang Ying.
He lit three incense sticks for Tang Ying and bowed three times at the portrait.
Then... he brought his seven disciples to a table and chair that had been prepared beforehand.
There were chairs in all directions and the eight of them sat down.
At that moment, other than these eight people, everyone else was standing at the funeral.
However, the people in the town did not find it inappropriate at all.
It was a given!
Without any delay, Li Hongzheng's eyes swept over his disciples. He picked up the Suona in his hand, opened his mouth, and shouted loudly,
"Sorrowful Mountain Tune!"
In a normal funeral, the musicians would either play the 'Sorrowful Mountain Tune' or the 'Opening'.
In comparison.
The former was far more mournful and heavy.
Dong!!
As soon as he finished speaking, a heavy drum sound suddenly exploded in people's ears!
The Suona, flute, erhu, Sheng, a total of eight musical instruments sounded in unison!
Among them, the Suona took the lead!
A high-pitched Suona sound burst out, and then, very quickly, the tone was withdrawn and lowered bit by bit.
Gradually, it merged with the other musical instruments and formed a solemn and sorrowful ensemble!
At that moment, the flute was no longer graceful. It was turbulent and harsh.
When it was played with other musical instruments, it produced a unique and vigorous aura at that moment!
The drumbeat accelerated again,
The sound of the Suona once again soared into the sky!
The other musical instruments also became sorrowful and powerful!
Be it sight or hearing, everyone was greatly moved!
Everyone present had sunk into this sorrowful mountain tune, feeling the sorrowful and solemn power within!
Even Su Chen, who was already proficient in the art of the Suona, was standing not far away at this moment. He could clearly feel his hair stand on end. This overbearing and sorrowful aura carried a unique penetrating force!
Eight Suona opened the way!
Even the Xiao Ai was terrified!
...
After the ensemble ended, the Suona began to take on a sorrowful and low tone, a sentimental melody.
Sobbing, it attracted many deep and painful cries.
Everyone only felt that their eyes were extremely sore as they rubbed their eyes.
The sorrowful and mournful melody had finally ended.
Many people who recalled Principal Tang's good life before her death were already in tears.
Many of them only felt a stifling feeling in their chest, as if there was something that they could not vent out.
It was suffocating!
The Li Family stopped playing. Master Li gazed upon Principal Tang's portrait and sighed deeply.
He had failed to deliver the song of the birds. It was a heavy regret.
At that moment...
While everyone was still immersed in the sorrowful and sorrowful lingering sounds of the Sorrowful Mountain Tune, a figure slowly walked out along the path that everyone had just only abandoned!
That figure was Su Chen. His expression was solemn, and his face was slightly raised. A dignified aura emanated from his body!
The aura of a grandmaster of the national wind made people feel heroic and powerful!
The eight Sunoa having opened up the way, it was time for him to fulfill the mission's requirements.
At Principal Tang's funeral, he had been assigned to play "A hundred birds paying homage to the Phoenix"!
The sudden appearance of such a young man walking to the musician's stage immediately attracted the attention of the people around him.
"Who is that? Why is he on that path?"
"Could it be some ignorant young man?"
"Hiss, something's wrong. Look at what he's holding in his hand."
"Black gold Suona! Is that young man also a musician?"
"Suona only come in groups of four or eight. How could he walk onto the stage alone with a Suona?"
...
For a moment, the people around them all looked at him in surprise and shock, and they all started discussing.
Under everyone's shocked gazes, Su Chen had already taken out the black gold Suona from his hand. With a solemn expression, he walked along the path toward the direction of the mourning hall!
Juan 'er, who was at the entrance of the hall, did not recover from her shock for a moment!
Who was this young man?
Why did he walk over just like that?
What did the Suona in his hand mean?
This scene also caught Li Hongzheng's attention in the mourning hall. He immediately frowned.
What is this kid trying to do?
He actually took the Suona and walked on the path that he had stepped on.
Su Chen looked young, but his temperament was extraordinary. He had the aura of a grandmaster.
Every move had its charm.
But this was Principal Tang's funeral. The path was not something that just anyone could walk!
Without waiting for the others to react, Li Hongzheng walked out of the mourning hall first and asked with a frown, "Who are you?"
"Who are you?"
Su Chen's next words made his scalp go numb! His mind also went blank!
"A hundred birds paying homage to the Phoenix!
It's a song passed down by the ancestors. Only the dead who are highly respected are worthy to enjoy it!"
Su Chen's voice was very magnetic. Perhaps it was because of the effect of his unique breathing technique, it was also very bright and penetrating!
It was very quiet around the funeral.
Almost everyone at the funeral could hear his voice!
In the mourning hall, when the elders heard this, their expressions changed!
They staggered out and looked at the young man standing outside the mourning hall. Their eyes were filled with shock and doubt, and their murky old eyes were fixed on Su Chen!
A hundred birds paying homage to the Phoenix!
It was a song that had been lost for a long time!
Even the patriarch of the Li Family, Fu Li Hongzheng, who had resigned from the National Theater, could not play that song!
Now, at Principal Tang's funeral, such a young man had appeared, saying that a hundred birds came to pay homage to the Phoenix!?
How could this not shock everyone!?
The shock and doubt in their hearts interweaved. The aura that Su Chen emitted had something unique that belied his age. Even Master Li's aura seemed to shrink before him!
Master Li stood rooted to the ground, staring at him in a daze!
He found it very hard to believe. How could such a young man play that song that had been cut off for decades?
This was impossible!
Su Chen continued.
"More than ten years of poverty and more than ten years of teaching by example. Over the years, everyone has seen what Principal Tang has done for Huayi Town!
I don't need to say more about Principal Tang. Everyone must know her more than I do!
"I promised her that I would send her off with all the birds paying homage to the Phoenix!
"Principal Tang, you deserve this song!"
As Su Chen's words fell, the entire funeral fell into dead silence!
Everyone felt their scalps go numb!
A song that had been lost for decades!
Can it really be blown at Principal Tang's funeral?!
Su Chen met Li Hongzheng's eyes.
The next moment,
Master Li's eyes reddened. Under everyone's surprised and doubtful gazes, he actually moved a step to the side...
