Longevity begins with an old woman

Chapter 195 The Court Musicians
"Brother Xu, how sure are you of this selection?"

A sea tribe wearing a gorgeous robe, with black and yellow tiger stripes on his big head, and a petite deformed body, said to a slender and tall figure in front of him with bubbles in his mouth.

The figure turned around, revealing a mouth full of sharp fangs and a snake core that kept expanding and contracting, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Probably [-] to [-]%! Although the chances are not high, you have to try, after all, the treatment of the palace is out of bounds." Good name!"

The slender and tall figure is none other than Xu Mu, who has incarnated from the Black Water Snake Clan.

As for his voice, it wasn't that he deliberately pretended to be deep, but that his voice became like this after merging with the blood of the Blackwater Profound Snake.

As for why the blood of the Phantom Thunder Silver Shark was abandoned, and the blood of the Blackwater Black Snake was re-integrated, the reason is also very simple, just to avoid attracting people's attention.

The Blackwater Profound Snake belongs to the upper-middle-class Sea Clan. Not only is the group large in number, but it is also extremely scattered. As a Blackwater Profound Snake, he will not attract too much attention wherever he appears.

But the Phantom Thunder Silver Shark is different. It belongs to the royal family, and it will attract a large group of attention wherever it appears.

It was too difficult to use the identity of Silver Shark to infiltrate the royal family, so he spent a lot of effort and replaced it with the blood of the Black Snake.

The sea clan he was talking to was named Tang Lin, who belonged to the tiger-headed fish clan and was also one of the common sea clans in the sea. He was one of Xu Mu's friends who had been lurking in the imperial capital over the years.

Not long ago, they heard that the royal family was recruiting, so the two met to sign up.

"Yes, the royal family has a profound heritage. As long as you can join, not only will you be well paid, but you will also have the right to permanently settle in the imperial capital! Most importantly, you will no longer have to go to the front line to perform military service!"

Tang Lin said the last sentence in a very low voice, for fear that others would hear it.

The reason is also very simple. If someone hears and denounces, he will probably suffer a terrible meal.

The sea race is different from the human race. There is no sect here, only a country, with strict imperial laws.

Anyone who breaks the law will be punished.

Tang Lin's words already belonged to the criticism of the government order, and it would be very troublesome if he was caught.

The main reason why the Sea Clan and the Human Clan can maintain unity for a long time is because of their blood.

In the Sea Clan, bloodlines are the most respected, those with strong bloodlines can easily become strong, and those with weak bloodlines will have limited achievements even if they die from exhaustion.

The reason why the royal family was able to rule the entire sea clan for tens of thousands of years is because they have the blood of the true spirit Kunpeng.

Relying on the blood of the true spirit, a large number of strong men were born, suppressing hundreds of millions of sea people, leaving them no room to resist.

Facing the laws of the empire, even the Sea Clan in the foundation-building period can only obey obediently, without any room for resistance.

Military service is to join the army and go to the front to fight against other alien races. The death rate is extremely high. If it weren't for the oppression of the empire, no sea tribe would be willing to go.

"Yes!"

Xu Mu just responded and didn't continue the topic. He didn't want to ask for trouble.

The two chatted and followed the team slowly, and were gathered together after the registration was completed.

"Those who participated in the selection of the Musician's Mansion come here!"

A Sea Race man in a blue robe with tumors all over his face stood in front of the crowd and shouted.

"Brother Tang, I'll go first."

Xu Mu cupped his hands to Tang Lin who was beside him.

"Brother Xu, come on, I believe you will succeed." Tang Lin grinned.

"I also congratulate you in advance for being able to join the Imperial Dining Room." Xu Mu also smiled.

This time the royal family audition is not only for one department, in addition to the Music Master's Mansion and the Imperial Dining Room, there are also Palace Gate Mansion, Honor Guard Mansion, Internal Servant Mansion, Pharmacist Hall, Maiden Mansion, etc., which are basically used to serve the royal family. .

To put it bluntly, it is a position, but to put it bluntly, it is recruiting people.

After Xu Mu and Tang Lin greeted each other, a group of people followed the blue-robed sarcoma sea tribe, broke away from the crowd, and walked towards the palace.

Behind him came the voices of other department managers.

"Come to me from the palace gate!"

"This is the Palace of Honor!"

"This is the selection of servants in the inner palace!"

"Imperial Room!"

"Hall of Medicine and Longevity!"

……

Following the blue-robed manager of the Hall of Musicians, he walked all the way in along the long corridor. At this moment, Xu Mu had the time to look at this magnificent palace up close.

Unlike humans who use bricks, stones, grass and trees to build houses, the materials used in the Sea Clan Palace are all a kind of translucent crystal. Under the washing of sea water, there is a faint shimmer, and the surface is smooth and crystal clear, which can reflect people's shadows.

There are a large number of coral seaweeds planted in the corner of the wall, which are colorful and even more magical under the reflection of crystals.

In the sky, there are some small fishes emitting white light. They gather and disperse from time to time. When they get together, they look like a lantern, and when they disperse, they look like a sky full of stars.

The scene in front of him reminded him of the Crystal Palace in the novel of his previous life, but in fact the two were not much different.

As Xu Mu walked, he carefully observed and memorized the surrounding situation. A group of nearly a hundred people dressed in layers of crystal palace-like buildings arrived in front of a compound with a plaque on the Musician's House.

There is a light curtain formed by formations around it, which is upside down on hundreds of houses and buildings like a large transparent bowl.

"go in!"

The steward in blue robe opened a gap in the defensive formation with his identity jade token, calling for everyone to line up and walk in.

Xu Mu had just stepped into the yard, and before he had time to observe the surrounding situation, he heard various melodious rhythms coming from the building behind.

There are drums, qin, flute, pipa, xiao, dulcimer, zither, harp and so on.

You can tell it just by listening to the sound. Everyone has a lot of attainments in music. Everyone who was a little relaxed at first suddenly became tense and under a lot of pressure. Only a few extremely confident people did not change their faces. .

Xu Mu is one of them!

With a system, it is not too difficult for him to learn music. Coupled with the various musical scores in his previous life, he is confident that few people in the world can compare to him.

If he didn't have this confidence, he wouldn't have chosen to sneak into the palace as a musician.

As for why they infiltrated the imperial palace, the purpose was also very simple, in order to contact members of the royal family, find out the location of the imperial tomb, and the method of entering the imperial tomb.

Blocking out the sound of those musical instruments, Xu Mu began to look at the surrounding environment.

The area of ​​the yard is close to [-] steps in a radius, and it is very spacious in four squares, which can easily accommodate hundreds of people. Corals and aquatic plants are also planted around the yard. In the center of the yard, there is a cluster of huge colorful corals as tall as a person. The tiny glowing fishes swimming around among the corals look extremely beautiful.

Located above the colorful corals, on the steps near the inner corridor, five sea tribes with extraordinary aura stood with their hands behind their hands, looking at the people entering the courtyard.

Four of the five were wearing blue robes, like the steward who brought them here, and there was a sea clan wearing a purple robe with two mustaches standing between the four of them.

The blue-robed steward who brought them here bowed to the purple robe, and after seeing the other party nodded, he turned around and shouted to Xu Mu and the others:
"Now there are ten people in a row, and they will go forward for the assessment one by one! People from the Kagura Institute will come first!"

"Kagurain? Isn't it? Such bad luck!"

Hearing what the steward in blue robe said, the group of people around Xu Mu immediately began to complain in a low voice.

Kagura-in?
Xu Mu's eyes flickered for a moment, and he turned his head to look at a corner of the yard. Before they entered, there were already more than a dozen Sea Clans standing there, all wearing the same blue uniform, with a conch pattern embroidered on the chest. the same place.

After coming to the imperial capital of the Hai clan for so many years, he has naturally heard of the Kagura Academy. Simply put, it is an academy specializing in training musicians. It is said that [-]% of court musicians come from Kagura Academy.

Many of the teachers in the Kagura Academy are retired court musicians, and some serving court musicians often go there to give lessons to students.

It can be said that Kagurain is a youth training camp for court musicians.

The relationship between the two is very close, and the chances of admission are far higher than those of Yeluzi musicians like them, so it is no wonder that people around complain.

Originally, there were not many places to be admitted, and now they have to compete with professional colleges, so the difficulty can be imagined.

After the line was lined up and the people from the Kagura Theater stepped forward to perform, the people below were filled with wailing, and the gap between the two was not usually obvious.

Someone's face showed a look of abandonment, Xu Mu stood in the middle of the line, silent.
