Principal Tang, Deserves This Tune!

The Li Family Band arrived, leading the way with an eight-stage funeral procession of suonas.

As the only close junior relative, Juan'er performed the kowtow to welcome them.

Everyone at the funeral looked at the members of the Li Family Band with emotion.

An eight-stage suona performance, personally played by Li Hongzheng!

It wasn't a common sight.

Furthermore, considering Principal Tang's achievements and character, everyone felt that an eight-stage suona send-off was fitting!

At this moment, Facing Juan'er's kowtow, Li Hongzheng solemnly stepped forward to help her up. Once she was standing, Juan'er immediately burst into wails.

This small gesture from Band Leader Li brought many people to tears.

Afterward, Li Hongzheng sighed and walked into the mourning hall, approaching Tang Ying's portrait.

He lit three sticks of incense for Tang Ying and bowed three times to the portrait.

Then, He led his seven disciples to the tables and chairs that had been prepared nearby.

There were exactly eight chairs, and the eight of them sat down in order.

At this moment, everyone at the funeral, except for these eight people, was standing.

However, the townspeople didn't find anything inappropriate about this.

It was the custom!

Without any delay, Li Hongzheng glanced at his disciples, picked up his suona, opened his mouth, and shouted:

"Sorrowful Mountain Tune, play!"

At typical funerals, suona players would perform either the "Sorrowful Mountain Tune" or the "Opening."

Compared to each other, The Sorrowful Mountain Tune had a more solemn and mournful rhythm!

Dong!!

As soon as the words fell, a heavy drumbeat suddenly exploded in people's ears!

Then, the suona, flute, erhu, and sheng, a total of eight instruments, played in unison!

Among them, the suona's sound was the most prominent!

It began with a high-pitched suona note, then quickly lowered its tone, gradually growing deeper.

It gradually blended with the other instruments, forming a solemn and mournful ensemble!

At this moment, the flute was no longer delicate but rough!

Accompanying the performance of the other instruments, it surprisingly possessed a unique, strong, and vigorous aura!

The drumbeats quickened again, The suona's sound once again soared to the heavens!

The other instruments also became mournful and powerful!

Both visually and aurally, it delivered a powerful impact!

Everyone present was immersed in this Sorrowful Mountain Tune, feeling its mournful yet solemn power!

Even Su Chen, who was standing not far away and was already proficient in the art of the suona, could clearly feel his hair standing on end. This overbearing and mournful aura, coupled with a unique penetrating power!

An eight-stage suona procession!

Even Yama and his imps would tremble!

When the ensemble concluded, the suona began with a sad, low tone, a melancholic melody.

Wuwuwu yanyanyan, it evoked many low sobs.

Everyone felt their eyes sting terribly, constantly rubbing them.

The sorrowful and mournful piece finally ended.

Many who remembered Principal Tang's kindness in life were already in tears.

Many felt a tightness in their chests, as if something was stuck, unable to be released.

It was unbearably stifling!

The Li Family Band's performance stopped. Li Hongzheng looked at Principal Tang's portrait and sighed deeply.

"Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" was, after all, a regret!

At this moment, While everyone was still immersed in the lingering mournful and sorrowful echoes of the Sorrowful Mountain Tune, a figure slowly emerged along the path that had been cleared earlier!

That figure was Su Chen. His expression was serious, his chin slightly raised, and an imposing aura radiated from him!

The aura of a Grandmaster of Chinese style made him appear full of heroic spirit, powerful and resonant!

The eight-stage funeral procession suona escort had concluded, and now it was time for him to fulfill the task's requirements.

At Principal Tang's funeral, he would play the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix!

As the path for the musicians approached, a young man suddenly walked onto it, immediately drawing the attention of those around.

"Who is that? Why is he walking on the path for musicians?"

"Could it be some ignorant young fellow?"

"Hiss, something's not right. Look at what he's holding in his hand!"

A black-handled Wujin suona! Could this young man also be a suona craftsman?

"Suonas are usually played in groups of four or eight stages, who walks up alone holding a suona?"

For a moment, everyone around cast looks of disbelief and shock, murmuring amongst themselves.

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Su Chen took out the black-handled Obsidian Suona from his hand, his expression solemn as he walked along the musician's path towards the mourning hall!

Juan'er, seeing this scene at the entrance of the mourning hall, couldn't comprehend what was happening for a moment!

Who was this young man?

Why did he just walk over like that?

And what was the meaning of the suona in his hand?

This scene also caught the attention of Li Hongzheng inside the mourning hall, who immediately frowned:

What is this kid trying to do?

He's actually holding a suona and walking on the path I just walked.

Su Chen, though young, possessed an extraordinary demeanor, exuding a sense of mastery.

Every movement he made held a unique charm.

But this was Principal Tang's funeral, and the path for welcoming musicians was not something just anyone could walk!

Before anyone else could react, Li Hongzheng was the first to step out of the mourning hall, frowning as he asked:

"Who are you?"

Su Chen's subsequent words, however, made his scalp tingle! His mind went blank!

"Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix is a tune of great sorrow!

It's a tune passed down from our ancestors, only the most venerable deceased are worthy of hearing it!"

Su Chen's voice was magnetic, and perhaps due to his unique breathing technique, it was also loud and penetrating!

The funeral was very quiet.

Almost everyone at the funeral could hear his voice!

Inside the mourning hall, several elders heard this and their expressions changed!

They stumbled out, looking at the young man standing outside the mourning hall, their eyes filled with disbelief, their cloudy old eyes fixed on Su Chen!

Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix!

A tune that had been lost for a long time!

Even Li Hongzheng, the head of the Li Family Band who had resigned from the national theater, couldn't play that Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix!

Now, at Principal Tang's funeral, such a young man appeared, claiming to play Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix!?

How could this not shock everyone!

Amidst their surprise and doubt, the aura emanating from Su Chen possessed a distinct quality beyond his years; even Master Li seemed to pale slightly in comparison to this aura!

Li Hongzheng stood frozen, staring at him blankly!

He found it hard to believe how such a young man could play a tune that had been lost for decades?

It was impossible!

Su Chen continued:

"Over ten years of poverty and hardship, over ten years of teaching and guidance, everyone has seen what Principal Tang has done for Huayi Town all these years!

You all know more about Principal Tang's deeds than I do, and you understand them better!

I promised her that I would send her off with Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix!

Principal Tang deserves this tune!"

As Su Chen's words fell, the entire funeral fell into a deathly silence!

Everyone's scalp tingled!

A tune lost for decades!

Could it truly be played at Principal Tang's funeral?!

Su Chen met Li Hongzheng's gaze, his expression serious.

The next moment, Band Leader Li's eyes reddened. Under everyone's astonished gazes, he actually took a step to the side.
