"Next, Princess Chen of Dong Chu will perform on the Moon Lute 'Defeat Army,'" announced Elder Hai loudly.
What kind of instrument was the Moon Lute?
The crowd, including the judges, looked at each other in bewilderment, clearly none had heard of or seen such an instrument before.
After wiping her mouth and hands with the kerchief Mo Mei handed to her, Yang Mengchen smiled at Long Xuanmo, took the instrument wrapped in cloth from Hai Tang, walked to the center of the field, sat on the stool, unfolded the cloth, and tuned the strings for a sound check.
As everyone was curiously observing this novel and unique instrument, a 'zeng' sound suddenly emanated, carrying a heavy, mournful air with an ancient and solemn vibe that rushed over them.
