Chapter 44: The Battle Song of the Drums
Boom!
In my almost oblivious state, the sound of the drum sounded in my ears again.
Got it!
Raising my head, I stared closely at the stone chime and the bronze pestle where the two copper pestles had fallen, and memorized their positions in my mind.
This is the position of the drum sound, and it is also the dominant note in the pentatonic tone.
If the main tone is found, then the corresponding pentatonic tone will come down.
Qin Yue has already described the five notes to me very vividly, and at this moment, I only remember the five notes in the sheet music in my heart.
After I determined the sound of the drum, I also seemed to hear the mi-sound in the sheet music in the sound of the drum.
In order to confirm my appearance, I also tapped the stone chime and the copper pit again.
The sound of the drum sounded again under my beating, and the sound of the drum was not only the sound of the drum, but also—
And the sound of mi, I'm sure, I heard it right, the sound produced by these two instruments is the third note of the drum, that is, the horn sound in the Gongshang horn and the feather.
At the sound of this second horn, I heard the sound of water pouring from under my feet.
I subconsciously looked at my feet, and the bronze square pot and bronze jian, which were empty, were no longer empty.
Mercury!
These two wine vessels were actually filled with mercury, although the mercury injected was not much, although it was only a drop in the bucket for a full tank, but I did it, I really did it.
It was also in the midst of a burst of joy in my heart that I heard a louder sound of rain coming from all around me.
Along with the louder sound of rain, I heard four muffled booms again.
Looking up, the moment I looked up at Qin Yue, I saw that the copper dragon head above Qin Yue was stretching out its neck, and while stretching out its neck, the copper dragon head was also slowly opening its bloody mouth.
A slow-flowing stream of mercury also came into my eyes again.
Turning his head, he looked at Gou Xilai, Gu Yicheng, and Uncle Cheng-
On the top of the three of them, I saw the same picture as Qin Yue's head.
And the bronze square pot and the bronze jug at my feet were infused with a little bit of mercury that didn't even cover the bottom of the pot.
The joy in my heart just now was gone at this moment, replaced by only anxiety, in addition to anxiety and a deep powerlessness.
"Zhang Bing, don't look at us. ”
Qin Yue's voice suddenly sounded in my ears, and Qin Yue's voice was still calm at this moment.
"Zhang Bing, we believe in you. ”
The voices of Uncle Cheng and the others suddenly sounded in my ears, and I couldn't hear any urgency in Uncle Cheng's voices.
At this moment, I couldn't see Qin Yue and them anymore, and the four of them were already in a cloud of white smoke.
Calm down!
I listened to Qin Yue's words and withdrew my gaze from above Qin Yue.
I told myself over and over again in my heart to calm down, but I knew that I couldn't calm down at all.
I felt my hands tremble, and I felt like I was about to lose my grip on the copper pestle.
The sound of rain and the low roar of rain were raging in my ears.
At this moment, my feet suddenly stopped listening to me.
Back - My whole body was involuntarily backing away, and in the process of backing I bumped into a braided piece behind me.
A muffled sound from the brass of the braided rod immediately rang in my ears.
It was also this low sound of weaving that woke me up in time from the muddy nightmare just now.
I still have time!
Why should I give up when I still have time!
Don't look at Qin Yue and them, don't think about Qin Yue's bronze dragon head above their heads.
At this moment, I felt that my hands were no longer trembling, and I could hold the two copper pestles tightly.
Holding the two bronze pestles, I also suddenly turned around and faced the thirteen braided chimes and nineteen braided pestles again.
Don't think about anything, don't think about how much mercury is injected into the bronze square pot and the bronze can, and get rid of all the distractions in your head.
Gong Shang Jiao Hui Yu!
At this moment, all I had in my head was the sound of these five notes.
With a wave of the brass pestle in my hand, I began to strike the chime and the braided pestle again in the same way as I had just combined the pronunciation.
Once, twice, three times—
I was striking back and forth on these thirteen chimes and nineteen braided chimes, not blind percussions, but with the consonance of them in my heart.
It was also under my almost selfless percussion that I finally heard the sound of the drum again.
This time, the syllables of the drum, which consists of a braided chime and a braided prong, are feathers.
Horned feathers!
I have found two syllables of the drum in these thirteen braided chimes and nineteen braided chimes.
It's just that this speed is not enough, and I have to use my speed to find the remaining three syllables among them as fast as possible.
The emblem feather of Gongshang Jiao corresponds to 12356 in the simple score, and these five syllables are all from low to high.
From low to high!
When I thought of this, it was as if something had suddenly caught in my mind.
It's not a flash of inspiration, it's that I seem to have mastered it—
I seem to really grasp the rules of them.
The horn feather corresponds to 36 in the simple score, so the emblem of the drum must be between this horn and the feather.
Yes, it must be.
There is also Gong Shang, these two syllables must be in front of the two syllables of the horn feather.
From low to high, no matter how the rhythm evolves in the flood of history, their essence will not change.
It is the notation we use today, which also evolved from the ancient pentatonic scale.
That's right, that's it!
With a wave of the two bronze pestles in my hand, I began to tap back and forth on the thirteen braided chimes and the nineteenth braided pestles.
The sound of drums and pentatonic scales began to echo back and forth in my ears.
The pentatonic scale produced by the drum was ethereal, and in the striking, I felt as if I was in a mountain forest, as if I was in a long flowing river, and as if I was under a waterfall that flowed straight down.
From static to turbulent, from turbulent to feiliu.
The sound of the drum is played, and the sound of the pentatonic scale produced by the drum is played.
At this moment I am this mountain, at this moment I am this rushing water, at this moment I am this waterfall that rushes down 3,000 feet.
I swung the bronze pestle faster and faster, and in this increasing speed, I was no longer willing to listen only to the conformist pentatonic scale.
Since you are not reconciled, then scramble and disrupt their unchanging order.
Messing up the Gongshang Horn Emblem Feather, without departing from the range of this pentatonic scale, I began to follow the most intuitive feeling in my mind at the moment.
Use the disrupted Gongshang Jiao Huiyu to play the tranquility of the mountain, use the disrupted pentatonic scale to play the waves of the river, and use the disrupted drum five notes to play the plummeting of the waterfall and swallow the mountains and rivers.
At this moment, I felt that I was playing not only the five notes of the drum, but a war song.
The entire Spirit Palace reverberated with the passionate war song I played, and I was proud and proud that I was able to compose such a magnificent war song.
The more I struck, the more courageous I became, and my arms began to dance to my song.
With a wave of his arms, he almost twisted his waist.
My heart moved, and just as I was about to twist my waist, I felt as if something had been kicked on my groove.
This sudden attack also kicked me back from the realm of self-forgetfulness just now.
Kicking back to reality, a cold sweat broke out on my head.
Qin Yue, them!
Thinking of the situation Qin Yue and the others were encountering now, I also hurriedly turned my head around.
This twist passed, and what caught me in my eyes was a cold and icy face.
Qin Yue!
Standing in front of me turned out to be Qin Yue!
How could she stand behind me, I turned my head and not only saw Qin Yue, but also Gu Yicheng, Gou Xilai and Uncle Cheng standing behind Qin Yue.
The three of them were looking at me strangely at the moment.
I'm a little confused, and I feel like this is a bad brain.
Seeing them standing in front of me intact, I also looked at Qin Yue and them with a confused and sluggish expression.
"These thirteen pieces of chime and nineteen pieces of braided chime are of extraordinary significance to the study of Han culture and history, and if you continue to knock it like this, you will be deliberately damaging the cultural relics. ”
