"Here it comes, here it comes!"
"Waited two hours, and it's finally here!"
"Holy crap, did you guys see that? Performing: Ting Yu!"
"Holy crap!"
"Holy crap!"
"Lyrics, composition, and vocals, all by Ting Yu! These three lines are a work of art!"
"Ting Yu can actually sing?"
"Suddenly, I feel goosebumps. So excited..."
Since the song didn't have a recorded MV, the background visuals were close-ups of traditional Chinese medicine ingredients.
The intro began.
The barrage of comments instantly flooded the entire screen.
Low tone, paired with electronic music.
A catchy melody, demonic and explosive!
Netizens immediately understood.
This song was a completely different style from all of Ting Yu's previous songs!
"If Hua Tuo were reincarnated, he would cure the blind devotion to foreign things.
Foreigners come to learn Chinese characters, igniting my national consciousness.
Chimonanthus praecox, Cassia tora seeds, Xanthium sibiricum, and also lotus seeds.
Ranunculaceae, Sophora subprostrata, Melia toosendan, I want face."
Explosive from the start!
Sarcastic, the first lyric directly mocked blind worship of foreign things!
That rhythmic rap, with its somewhat blurred enunciation, gave everyone an unprecedented feeling.
There had been many rap songs before.
But this unique style of rap, they had never heard.
The enunciation sounded a bit strange, yet possessed a compelling rhythm.
A rhythm master!
This was a rhythm master!
"Rewrite history in my own way.
Nothing else to do, just follow me and recite a few words.
Chinese yam, Angelica sinensis, Goji berries, go!
Chinese yam, Angelica sinensis, Goji berries, go!
Watch me grab a handful of Chinese medicine, swallow a dose of pride!"
Explosive!
The live stream was filled with exclamation marks!
Mixed within these exclamation marks were gasps of surprise.
But the most frequent were those two characters, symbols of national quintessence.
"Holy crap!"
"Brothers, let's get fired up!"
"Holy crap, my head and feet suddenly have their own minds, they started moving on their own!"
"Holy crap, a surge of hot blood shot straight to the crown of my head, I'm taking off!"
"Damn it, these lyrics are beyond awesome! They're all names of Chinese medicine!"
"I feel like a madman, I was just moved to tears, and now I'm shaking!"
"..."
No one could have imagined that names of Chinese medicine could be used in rap.
And that rap could sound so good!
Addictive!
Yes, addictive, but not in a vulgar, comical way!
"I look relaxed, grooving along.
My movements are easy and natural, you can't imitate them.
Neon signs, adjusting my state.
In this glamorous city, waiting to wake up.
I look relaxed, grooving along.
Using calligraphy to write dynasties, inner energy spreading.
A heroic spirit in bold script, giving a punch a reply.
The ending is lying flat, let's see who's powerful."
What is rap?
This is what rap is!
Furthermore, the lyrics were satirical, but without a single vulgar word!
In the rap scene.
Hearing this song was like opening a new door.
So this is what rap could be!
"What pill do you refine, what ball do you knead?
Rehmannia glutinosa slices shouldn't be too thin.
The old master's technique cannot be copied so carelessly.
Turtle jelly, Yunnan Baiyao, and Cordyceps sinensis.
My own music, my own medicine, the dosage is just right."
The second verse.
It wasn't a repetition of the first, but new lyrics!
Chinese medicine names, infinitely rhyming!
Ting Yu lived up to his reputation as a rhyming genius!
At this moment.
The shock in the hearts of everyone watching the live stream was beyond words.
"Hearing me say Chinese medicine is bitter, plagiarism should be even more bitter.
Quickly open the Compendium of Materia Medica, read more rare books.
Bufo bufo gargarizans, Lumbricus, have traversed the jianghu.
This hard work of our ancestors, we must not lose!"
Must not lose!
This lyric perfectly resonated with all the traditional Chinese medicine practitioners who had just been watching.
They stubbornly held onto what their ancestors had left behind.
Even when cursed, misunderstood, and labeled as charlatans!
They persisted!
Just to pass on their ancestors' legacy!
For a moment, countless people felt a lump in their throats!
"It's this light,
It's this light, let's sing together.
(It's this light, it's this light, hey!)
Let me prescribe a folk remedy,
Specifically treating your internal injuries from worshipping foreign things,
This Chinese prescription has been rooted for thousands of years,
It possesses a strength that others do not know..."
So bold!
Another mercilessly satirical line.
"Let me prescribe a folk remedy, specifically treating your internal injuries from worshipping foreign things."
This line was absolutely brilliant!
Netizens copied and pasted it on the barrage.
For a time, the entire barrage was filled with this lyric!
Now, all netizens wanted to see the expressions of Qin Shousheng and MC Yindao.
This was a direct slap in the face!
Qin Shousheng was a devotee of foreign things, and MC Yindao had thrown himself into it. His company, Ding Sheng Entertainment, insisted on packaging him with Chinese style rap. Now Ting Yu had released "Compendium of Materia Medica," and the slap was resounding.
Doesn't Ding Sheng Entertainment support the Entertainment Gala and think they're amazing?
Aren't they promoting their groundbreaking Chinese style rap?
Then let me, Ting Yu, show you what groundbreaking rap truly is!
What the hell is groundbreaking rap!
It was brutal.
But it felt amazing!
"...
Squat, little zombie squat, little zombie squat.
Squat again, little zombie squat, lighting lamps in dark alleys.
Squat again, little zombie squat, digging radish pits.
Squat again, little zombie squat, humming incantations...
La la la la...
(La la la la...)
..."
When the final flute melody passed.
The entire song concluded!
The last section left everyone stunned.
Even through the screen, they could feel the arrogance Ting Yu exuded while singing this song.
"Ting Yu, you're so awesome..."
"Why am I humming 'la la la'?"
"As expected of you, genius! Truly a genius!"
"My mom asked me why I was kneeling while listening to music!"
"Wuwuwu... Am I under a spell? My mind is full of little zombies..."
"I declare this 'Compendium of Materia Medica' as China's strongest rap!"
"Compared to 'Compendium of Materia Medica,' those catchy divine songs on Douyin are nothing!"
"Haha, I agree, this is what you call brainwashing, and it's divine-level brainwashing!"
"Chinese medicine and rap, Ting Yu, you're truly amazing!"
"Where are the sheep dogs? Come out and bark a few times."
"@Qin Shousheng."
"Qualified netizens have already opened Weibo, waiting for Qin Shousheng's reply."
"What qualified netizens? Netizens aren't going to Qin Shousheng's Weibo anymore; they've spontaneously organized a Super Topic!"
The live stream had ended.
But the viewers hadn't even noticed.
They were still furiously swiping the barrage.
If this excitement wasn't released, many people would likely have trouble sleeping again!
...
Unlike the frenzied online world.
The small village where Bai Zhu resided had fallen completely silent.
Villages are different from cities; people go to sleep earlier.
The weather was nice tonight, with a clear sky and sparse stars.
Under the moonlight.
Bai Zhu sat on a small stool, his grandfather Bai Hengsheng beside him, looking at his phone.
When the live stream ended, Bai Zhu looked up slightly.
Seeing his grandfather's gaze.
He was taken aback for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Grandpa."
"Shu, Grandpa is not a liar."
Bai Hengsheng's old eyes were red.
Having not spoken for a long time, his voice was dry.
His voice trembled, and he kept repeating that he was not a liar.
Bai Zhu was struck as if by lightning, frozen in place.
"Grandpa, you are not a liar! Our traditional Chinese medicine is not a liar!"
He hugged his grandfather tightly and burst into tears.
After that incident, everyone said Grandpa had gone mad and couldn't speak. Only Bai Zhu knew that Grandpa hadn't gone mad; he had simply lost his faith, withdrawn into himself, and refused to communicate.
And now.
Finally, Grandpa had spoken again!
Not far away.
Bai Zhu's father, who had come to find his son to go home and sleep.
Seeing this scene, hearing the old man's murmur and Bai Zhu's cries.
He suddenly stopped in his tracks, his heart clenched, and two lines of tears instantly streamed down his cloudy eyes!
