Volume 5 Getaway in the Western Continent 22 Starlight Circus
The two girls agreed without hesitation. As it turned out, these two girls were indeed not scheming, and were more friendly than Xu Zheng thought. Even Xu Zheng had no time to use the bad excuse that the beast trainer had to be forced to find a job in order to fill the belly of the monster companion.
The next day, Xu Zheng officially started working in the circus.
The circus has a name called Xingguang, the full name Xingguang Circus. Just like its name, Xingguang, the faint and not very bright light, the circus is surprisingly small, Lan Si and Yi Meier are the leaders, and there is an old cook, Jenny, who frowned on his face, speaks a bit mean, and likes to take advantage of him. It is quite good. The old cook's husband, Qiao, is a bad old man who keeps his wine all day long, squints his drunken eyes all day long, and makes many beats
He also played the role of a clown. Next were four girls, who were good at walking tightropes, twisting their bodies into various strange shapes, drilling a circle with a diameter of only less than 40 centimeters, swinging at high altitudes and dancing big skirt dances. The four young men, who were good at equestrians and climbing poles, jumped around on a prying board, and also played coachmen and handymen. At the end of the circus performance, Lan Si and Yi Gonger would come out to sing, and there was nothing else.
With Xu Zheng, there were thirteen people. There were only a few people in total, and the scale was so small that it could not be even smaller.
To be fair, all the shows are outstanding, ordinary and boring, and all the performances are just the norm. If there are other better entertainment methods, no one will watch this. Anyway, Xu Zheng was quite interested at the beginning and wanted to see what the difference is in circus performances in another world, but after watching it once, he became interested. Instead of watching such a circus performance, it would be better to doze off and wait a little faster.
When the circus ends, the two sisters always come out to sing. I have to say that Lan Si and Yi Meier either confuse the concepts of circus and singing and dancing troupes, or they can't find a place to sing. They can only realize their dreams in this way.
Both sisters have a good voice, and the blue silk sound is fresh and natural. The scales are gentle and changeable, and the singing skills are very profound. Yi Mei'er's voice is relatively tender, but her singing is light and lively, which is also refreshing. The two of them are not outstanding in terms of appearance and figure, but when they jump on the stage, they both act calmly and generously, and they are very dedicated when singing, which is the only highlight in the entire circus performance.
If you switch to other places, such as the previous life where media is developed, the two cousins have the skills and a little luck, you will definitely succeed. But here, it is not possible.
First of all, the song is not good. It is not harsh in criticism. Its melody is too plain, that is, it is not gorgeous, nor fresh; it is not exciting or profound; it is not beautiful enough, it is not plain enough; it cannot reflect life and does not touch people's hearts. In terms of content, it is almost all the kind of praises of God and heroes. It is completely without a sense of substitution. The whole song is like telling a story, rather than using beautiful music and singing to trigger the deep resonance in people's hearts.
Second, there is no accompaniment. It is just a cappella. Although it sometimes has its unique charm, it seems very monotonous most of the time. Especially when singing songs like God and praise God, to be exact, listen to this form of a cappella. Some are like boiling potatoes in water and tearing off the skin and gnawing them directly. There is no salt, no smell, no seasoning. If you eat them occasionally, you will feel very fragrant. If you chew them every day, people will go crazy.
Such music and singing styles are destined to fail, which is Xu Zheng's evaluation. It's a pity that the two sisters have good voices.
Furthermore, the two sisters completely ignored the packaging themselves. You should know that beautiful terrain is also an art, which will bring the added value of singing. They stand there like a wooden stake like a village woman, and will only sing some not-so-smelling songs behind their backs. Xu Zheng honestly believes that this is preaching, promoting doctrines or Buddhism. If the listener does not have some spirituality, he will not be able to listen and feel the effect of alerting the world... The complete lack of entertainment and not falling asleep is to give face to the two sisters.
Of course, Xu Zheng is a person who is not spiritual and has no face, because he falls asleep every time he listens, and he also curls up on a chair and sleeps well. He snores a few times, so he feels refreshed whenever he wakes up, and is very excited when cleaning.
That’s right, Xu Zheng’s job is to clean, clean horses, buy food, etc. In short, no one does any other chores, and he is rewarded with five silver coins a month, taking out food and accommodation.
This is the sixth day that Xu Zheng stayed in the Starlight Circus. During the six days, Xu Zheng worked hard, didn't talk much, and had a low sense of existence. In other places, the city was wandering around, secretly asking about the missing tiger clan.
It took six days to listen to the fourteen songs that the two sisters could sing over and over again. Now Xu Zheng can recite them backwards and the stories of epic heroes. He can quickly grow a calluse when he gives him a pampered scroll. He can write the history of several larger countries and regions in the Western Continent. In addition to these, and other gains from the Western Continent forces that he saw in the library.
No gains mean that one thing is that the Tiger tribe must still be in the Rock City. It is impossible for the transfer of more than 20 orcs to be no news, especially in such a city that is not very good to orcs. Therefore, Xu Zheng boldly guessed that the Tiger tribe should be detained somewhere in the city of Geyuri. What we need to do now is to explore the true news.
Wu Tan naturally looked for an opportunity to sneak into the castle. Xu Zheng planned to consider the idea when he was a little more mature. It is not like Zion, and he must take every step forward.
Wen Tan used the singing of the two sisters to find ways to follow them into the castle and act according to the opportunity.
Therefore, the two sisters sang like this like preaching. Not to mention Gayuri, even if they can't listen, they can't be summoned to the castle. Who would like to hear two nuns with hair keep chanting in their ears? It's still acceptable to be two Menin nuns, but two village women chanting the Great Sutra in their ears makes people tolerate it. Please note that this big means that the lyrics are pampered. If a song lasts for more than ten minutes, it's still short. Long means that the long sutra is long. It sounds like a nun chanting the Great Sutra. Combining one piece means that the Great Sutra is!
Xu Zheng was tolerant and finally broke out in silence on the sixth day and decided to help the two sisters.
With the pet database left by his previous life, combined with the style of Rock City and the style of the prairie outside the city, Xu Zheng carefully selected a few songs and then made a matching instrument.
As Xu Zheng saw so far, there were only two types of popular musical instruments in Arilu, one was the organ in the church, and the other was the piano held in Havana's arms.
In order to match the song he chose, Xu Zheng finally decided to try to make bagpipes and Irish bagpipes. When that kind of sad and melodious sound sounds sounded in the cold wind, anyone would be moved by it.
Before this, Xu Zheng tried to make a piccolo and thought it was not bad, so he started to make much more complicated bagpipes.
Xu Zheng chose the ullenne, also known as the Ulin tube, the Yulian bagpipe, and the Irish elbow bagpipe. This kind of bagpipe has a bellows sandwiched on the right arm and waist to deliver air to the bagpipe's skin. One end of the skin is a large thick tube, and five thin tubes are connected to the large thick tube, and a thin tube is connected to the other end of the skin. This thin tube has a vent hole like a flute, and both hands change the notes by controlling the vent hole of the thin tube.
The first time I made such a complex thing, Xu Zheng also learned it while doing it. The bellows were not difficult, and it was done quickly. The skin was also found to be replaced by animal skins. The pronunciation tubes took the boss's effort until the fifth trial was made. It was in anger to open the Tiangong Forging Furnace to refine it, and it was finally considered successful.
Then there is the audition. When the instrument is first completed, the sound will inevitably be dry. Xu Zheng praised the bagpipe according to traditional Irish methods before he began to practice playing.
In order not to scare people with the sound of crying and sensational sounds made by beginners when they are just starting to practice, Xu Zheng could only sneak out of the city at night and practice playing the Irish bagpipes.
Lulu flew out of the city once and refused to go again, because the sound of Xu Zheng playing when he was first school was too scary, as if screaming and shouting; it was like a hundred ghosts walking at night, and it was like a whimpering wind blew in the stomach and whimpering; it was like a hundred resentful women shouting together, and thousands of foolish men cried out, which was really a retreat. The sound of the Irish bagpipe was already low, so Xu Zheng, a beginner, was beautiful, and the effect of the horror film was shown ten percent.
On that dark moon night, the cold wind blew again, and the sound created by Xu Zheng was also used to add the effect of the sunshine, which made people creepy and unlucky. In half a month, the radius of thirty miles centered on Xu Zheng was not even found, and they all fled to death. They didn't know where to hide, because the sound was so terrible.
The grassland outside the rock city thus left a legend: every midnight, a demon will open the door to hell and come out to sing. Anyone who hears his singing will be plucked away and fall into hell, and will receive all the tortures, and will never escape forever.
I don’t know how many children who cried at night forgot to cry and burrowed into their mother’s arms with such a legend. But I don’t know the real reason is that a young man who traveled through time and space practiced the Irish bagpipe there, making such a terrible sound like hell.
Only Mark came out of his personal space, sat next to Xu Zheng and listened with relish, and said heartlessly: "It's great, it's great! It's better than last night, it doesn't sound that scary."
Thanks to Mark, Xu Zheng could not continue practicing without his encouragement. In fact, the sound he made scared himself to sweat all over.
