The semi-finals of the music and dance competition attracted a large number of people.

The street in front of Taichang Temple is bustling with traffic, and people are most proud of getting an admission ticket.

The tickets, which originally had no price tag, were sold at sky-high prices, and many people stood in front of the door with thick stacks of silver bills in an attempt to exchange for admission.

The five music houses arrived backstage early and competed in reverse order according to their ranking. Qianmai Music House and Hongxiaoyuan, which were tied for first place, were scheduled to perform last.

Compared with everyone talking about it with great relish, Dali Temple Minister Tang Zhi was frowning at this time.

I secretly glanced backstage several times and saw the exquisite costumes of the artists of Qianmai Music House, especially the delicate and complex makeup of the thirty artists. The intricate decoration on each person's face, body, and especially arms made bystanders feel inferior at first glance.

Artists from several other music companies were also whispering about this. He knew before the show even started that things would not end well today.

He anxiously conveyed the message to Minister Cao, which made Cao Siwen, who was sitting in the most conspicuous position in the stands, feel very heavy-hearted. He was a little annoyed that the rules he had formulated were a bit hasty.

The level of the semi-finals was obviously higher than that of the preliminary rounds.

The first four music troupes also showed their best skills, dance and music, which made the audiences intoxicated and shouted that it was very exciting.

The game should have continued according to the rules, but it was suddenly stopped, causing a commotion in the stadium.

Under everyone's expectation, the two music troupes tied for first place suddenly seemed to have problems, and the organizer, Tang Zhi, the Minister of Taichang Temple, was invited to go backstage.

A quarter of an hour later, Tang Zhi trotted to the stands with brisk steps. After whispering with Minister Cao, Minister Cao let out a long sigh and nodded heavily. Tang Zhi then ran quickly to the backstage.

As people waited impatiently, the venue that was temporarily converted into a stage began to move. A series of colorful paintings appeared in front of people. Clusters of light sources came from nowhere and flickered, creating a dreamlike scene.

The host walked on stage with brisk steps and announced loudly that Hongxiaoyuan and Qianmai Music Square would merge into one to form the new Hongyue Music Square. As the new participating team, they would present two dance pieces together.

It is also specially noted that the first music and dance will be led by Yue Niangzi, the choreographer of Qianmai Music Studio, and the second music and dance will be led by Hong Niangzi who has not appeared for a long time. This will be the highest-level music and dance collision in Nanqi in the past ten years.

The people in the stands were instantly filled with passion.

People tried hard to suppress the impulses from their limbs and tried their best to control their bodies sitting on the chairs, looking forward to watching the grace of the rising star Yue Niangzi, and even more wanting to appreciate up close the real body of Hong Niangzi who had only appeared in legends.

The lively atmosphere in the hall was soothed by the sound of chimes and stone stones, and people's emotions became peaceful.

A young woman in a bright yellow dance costume dressed as Guanyin stood in the front. The light and shadow cast on her face, making her look peaceful, solemn, sacred and compassionate.

Thirty-one people worked together with their hearts and hands, making gestures at the same time to the changing music.

One pair, two pairs, three pairs of arms appeared one after another, accompanied by music, some slow, some fast, too many to count, forming a picture of a grand event. Thousands of slender hands trembled, and thousands of wise eyes flashed, giving people an incomparable enjoyment of beauty.

The dancer is flexible yet resilient, showing the serenity and dignity of Guanyin.

The rich and colorful Buddhist gestures, with the superposition of thirty-one people in a vertical row and the coordination of light and shadow, look like a "golden Buddha" standing on the stage, vivid and lifelike.

The entire dance performance has no songs except for the music, and only uses the beauty of dance form and shape to convey endless meanings.

With the addition of pipa, guzheng and string music, the music became gradually passionate, and the emotions of the audience in the stands also became high. The changing formation on the stage made everyone seem to see the true body of Guanyin distributed between heaven and earth, saving all living beings.

With the last ray of Buddhist music, the world returned to silence.

Everyone seemed to be baptized by the Buddhist music and was so quiet.

No one could have imagined such a dance.

It is dignified and elegant, embodies the truest human nature, the highest moral goodness, nobility and serenity, and creates the ultimate realm of truth, goodness and beauty that makes people unable to help but worship it.

No one had the courage to be the first to break this solemnity.

The silence in the venue lasted for a very long time, and people seemed to be frozen in time, except for the surging waves in their hearts that were still roaring.

As Guanyin, the leader, led the team off the field with lotus steps, the first round of applause rang out in the venue, followed by a thunderous tide.

"Qianyou, congratulations, I don't think there is any point in comparing us."

Hongniang stood at the stage entrance and hugged Qianyou, the first person to leave the stage.

"You have brought me so many surprises. I love this music and dance so much. I understand what you said about the effect of the stage background on the artistic conception of the dance. I am shocked."

"We are not rivals, but friends. In terms of music and dance, we can resonate with each other and enjoy the fun of dance conception and choreography together. There is still a lot for us to explore together in the future."

Qian You was also impressed by Hong Niang's obsession with music and dance and her sincerity.

"Okay, wait for me. We'll celebrate together tonight and we won't leave until we're drunk."

The music and dance continued. Hongniang's choreography was soul-stirring. She was slender in green, with a white robe and clean make-up. The moonlight was sad and enchanting, just like a pair of snowy egrets living together, worrying only to look back, startled by the cold night, and sharing a fragrant alliance.

She was dressed in a plain dance costume, which looked lively, graceful and elegant.

Holding a pipa, she moves like a lotus with every step, as graceful as a startled swan and as elegant as a swimming dragon. Her singing voice is like the melodious sound of chimes and yet so deep that everyone is so engrossed in it that they don't know when the dance will stop.

This music and dance competition is enough to become a lifelong topic of conversation for those who are lucky enough to watch it.

People didn't know how they walked out of the hall, and they were reluctant to leave after the show, as if just by looking at this hall, they could continue to savor the lingering music and dance.

The person who placed the bet was betting in vain.

No one expected that the two music troupes with the most bets would collaborate to perform and become the winner in the end. People in Lidu were talking about this grand event.

Nanqi Palace, Imperial Study.

"Minister Cao, I heard that the music and dance competition today was very lively."

"Your Majesty, it is very lively."

"How is it so lively? Tell me about it."

Cao Siwen raised his eyes and looked carefully at Emperor Nanqi's expression, somewhat undecided. Should he talk about the shocking music and dance first, or talk about the long-lost Lady Matchmaker appearing to lead the dance, or should he report now on the reasonable or unreasonable request made by Hong Xiaoyuan?
