Chapter 214

"This piece... is very good!"

"But it has more show-off elements; the greatest difficulty lies in the speed, and the constant switching of continuous and dense semitones."

"Although it looks flashy and is quite intimidating."

"But the melody itself is highly repetitive; with long-term practice, it can still be mastered proficiently."

"Since you are here for an exchange, our department has a few teachers..."

"Wait a moment!" Su Meng suddenly interrupted him, smiling slightly.

"Teacher Wu, since you are not entirely satisfied with this piece, I have written another piece; will you help me critique it?"

Another one?

Everyone was shocked.

Not only do you have such god-tier piano skills, but you can also compose your own pieces?

Writing one piece wasn't enough, and there's another?

Su Meng let out a long sigh, his face wearing an expression of nostalgia.

"As everyone knows, I once played the suona in the countryside to take on white work, sending some of the deceased on their final journey."

"This matter is not unfamiliar to everyone; it is called... 'sending off'!"

"So last time, when I was helping someone with a sending-off, I was struck by a sudden impulse and wrote a piano piece."

"It is called... 'The Bell'!"

"Now, I will present this 'The Bell' to everyone!"

????

Countless people were stunned, and a huge pile of question marks slowly floated up.

Are you saying all your pieces were inspired while taking on white work?

Could it be that doing white work is the greatest source of artistic creation inspiration?

Then when I can't write a song, can I go to a funeral hall and play a suona?

Then when I can't find my performance state, can I go to a funeral hall and cry for a while?

Then when I'm stuck and can't write a novel, can I go write an obituary for the dead?

Many people fell into deep contemplation.

But in the Jieti Sect lecture hall, everyone felt terrible.

It seemed as if a cold wind whistled past.

Presenting this 'The Bell' to us?

Are you trying to give us a... funeral bell?
