On the wooden brown low podium, a dark brown fully handmade grand piano on the left has just stopped the music. The sound of cymbals seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet air. If one listen carefully, one can still vaguely hear the low aftertaste of the electronic piano tuned to the Bass series coming out intermittently from the inside of the black speaker.
For novice bands, the song "All New" is too challenging on the drum beat, so that it just entered the first Bridge to pick up Chorus, and the beat needs to be syncopated with the bass which drum should hit two beats, accidentally done on the wrong dots. So Yu Ruoling, who is quite sensitive to rhythm, was distracted, and the Em chord was forcibly distorted into Cmajor later.
Then Huang Yinke, the electronic piano player who decided to play in the background following the music of the piano player, simply gave up and played another song.
The four sub-singers immediately went out of tune.
In just four seconds, a small mistake split the entire band. Poor lead singer Yuan Junfan had to forcibly suspend the seven members who were already in a mess, so as to prevent the multi-instrument noise chorus and the pentatonic freestyle thriller chorus that would be faced in the next second.
Consultant Chen Tianyun came over with a puzzled face, and they could almost see concrete question marks on her top of head.
"You...what happened to you？？"
The seven heads turned to Shao Xu'an at the same time.
Shao Xu'an："？？"
"…Wait a minute！I'm innocent too, that beat is really easy to mess up！"
"Dear Xu'an~ Do you really listen to song？"Yuan Junfan smiled harmlessly.
"I……"
"Would we like to play a song and listen to it again？"Huang Yinke said unconsciously, but it didn't help save Shao at all.
"...I really listened！！"Shao Xu'an felt extremely aggrieved, the wrong rhythm wasn't all his fault！For the sake of him being a self-taught man who worked so hard to learn how to play the drums, don't pay attention to so many details！
His hands holding the drum sticks were flailing in the air, and he looked immediately inclined to cry. But they all knew that this was just Shao's coquettish offensive.
Fu Xianghui, who is currently the guitarist, was sitting on a chair with the guitar in her arms. She probably forgot that the microphone set up in front of her was not turned off, so she accidentally laughed.
There are still many problems with this band. Listening to the song, Yu Ruoling thought, except for the inexplicably good tacit understanding between her and Shao Xu'an, the other band members seem to be a little...unfamiliar with how to get a song to beautiful.
Different from the temporary worship group in which different people come to the stage to worship in each meeting, the worship band must follow the procedure when practicing.
They have to decide how to sing, how to play the piano, how to play the drums, how to arrange the song sections, whether to raise the key at a certain section, or change the entire song to a different style.
Even the lead singer's thoughts at the moment will affect the direction of the entire band - whether it is to emphasize the atmosphere, or to strengthen the emotions of all instruments including the singer.
Especially the drum is the key element for them to count the beat, or she can give Shao Xu'an a hint, use the piano.
"Xiangqin, "Chen Tianyun said to Fu Xiangqin, who was controlling the computer to play music, looking at the keys with her hands put on chin, "can you play the Bridge again for me？"
"？"Yu Ruoling looked over, and Chen just turned around to look at her.
She froze for a moment, then smiled happily at Chen, thinking, today's music is still amazing.

...
The tempo was finally successfully connected under the command of Chen Tianyun. Leaving aside the moment of success, the singers cheered excitedly, and they forced the overburdened central speaker on the ceiling to produce a sonic boom, just Yu Ruoling's comment on the low-octave cue of the left hand acting as a bass is really very impressive.
Like perfect.
The left side of the piano is really good to play. Yu stared at the video clip released by the Line band group on her mobile phone, and couldn't help but focus on the part where Verse1 connects to Bridge again.
"Ruoling, "Chen Tianyun approached her, pulled away the chair at the reception table and sat down slowly, "You don't seem to be very familiar with chords."
She put down her phone, and secretly looked at the woman with a gentle face on the opposite side, "That's right. You saw that there are many chords marked on my piano score."
"May I help you write a sheet of basic chords about fundamental eight keys？You can practice at home and watch them, or memorize more when you have time."
"Yeah！Sure."
"Also, let me ask you, "Chen slightly leaned on the edge of the table with her arms, looking at Yu with brown eyes expectantly, "do you want me to teach you how to play the piano."
A question sentence says the same thing as an affirmative sentence.... Although the reality does not allow her to refuse, if she wants to survive in this worship band, it is best not to be replaced by others, Yu secretly thought, and the way to stay in the original position is to continuously improve her strength and widen the gap until no one else can surpass it, she can't think of more good ways at present.
She is the pianist of the Arise Worship Band, and even if there are two other pianists who will inevitably take turns, she still has to climb to the top seat.
She only knows this, and she has to grasp it, otherwise she has no value in this place.

「If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away, and the new has come.」- 2 Corinthians 5:17
On the projection screen, a gradient background image based on platinum tones reads such a paragraph. Three baptized persons in sky-blue brocade robes walked to the backstage.
The mobile baptismal pool, which was filled with warm water early in the morning, was illuminated by art lamps, and the walls of the pool reflected golden light. The brilliance hits the water, shaking slightly as if the morning sun is crushed in the water, and the sharp colors are reflected in the waves, which is unexpectedly gentle and inconceivable.
On the left side of the baptismal pool, a short second-floor staircase made of metal-toned purple-painted wood is closely adjacent to it. Five or six co-workers wearing orange vests surrounded both ends of the pool, and a camera was steadily set up in the open space five steps away from the baptism pool.
One hundred congregants followed the pastor's instruction and got up together, turned their seats to face the backstage, and witnessed the baptized person stepping into the water step by step and submerging his whole body under the water. After a few seconds, the new birthday and new life were completely displayed in front of everyone.
They prepared all they had, and then waited for this moment to dedicate it all to the Lord of hosts, and to express and declare that faith has become a part of their lives, and nothing can separate God’s love from them.
「Whether dead, alive, angels, rulers, present or future, high or low, no creature can separate me from your love.」- Joshua Band
"I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and become a child of the kingdom of heaven."Chen Tianyun's father, Pastor Chen Xiongfang, handed the wireless microphone in his hand to the waiting co-workers, and then supported Yu Ruoling's shoulders slowly lay down in the baptism pool.
The warm water gradually spread over the chest until the whole body is submerged.
In fact, she didn't really have a feeling of "finally baptized" until she changed out of her damp and cold brocade poetry gown and clothes.
The dry and cold wind in the late winter and early spring was blowing from the vents in the changing room, and she, who was not afraid of the cold, was actually stimulated to have goose bumps.
The light blue sky is condensed in a small square-shaped window. Yu Ruoling looked at the suddenly limited blue that should have been boundless, feeling that something was slowly leaving her, something very important.
'...Fong Xuan？'She asked uncertainly from her mind.
'You were baptized.'
'Oh, it's all right. Nothing.'
Fong Xuan paused strangely, presumably prime-p has forgotten that there is no obstacle between them, 'By the way, as prime-p who should be protected by me, aka you, what did you do？'
'What did I do？'Yu Ruoling struggled to wrap her wet hair into a towel, 'What 'what did I do' mean？'
'Why did all your fogballs come to my place？The room was almost destroyed, you know？If this space is gone, in the future when we...alternate, you will not be able to use dreams to make up for memory.' Fong's tone gradually became a little more urgent, 'Don't make me say it so clearly, when the time comes, you can no longer be a prime-p, so don't complain to me if that happens.'
Yu's hands completely stopped in mid-air, and a look of astonishment finally appeared on her expressionless face that she had been accustomed to for many years, 'That's impossible, I never took the initiative to make those fogballs, even during the period of deep sleep. I kept thinking at that time, how can I have the energy to play other things？'
Fong Xuan frowned, no matter in mind or shared area, unless prime-p is willing, nothing can be born. In the world of personality, prime-p comes first, then...
What is the void mass that is being chained and locked in "her" territory？
